Ling Xiao looked over and saw an ordinary looking old man wearing a grey robe appear in front of him. This old man was around sixty years old and was slightly chubby. He wasn't tall and looked very ordinary at first glance. However, when you saw him attack, you wouldn't think that he was just an ordinary old man.
He roared and grabbed the Twin Headed Lion's tail with one hand.
The Twin Headed Lion seemed to be very afraid of this old man and immediately roared. It ignored the Gold Wolf King and Cyan Fire Wolf as it tried to run away.
"Hmph, you still want to run? You've lost all my face." The old man snorted coldly and moved forward again, his old hand immediately grabbing the Twin Headed Lion's tail.
Following this, Ling Xiao saw a scene that shocked him.
The old man actually pulled the Twin Headed Lion that weighed a few hundred kilograms with his bare hands and flung it away.
Boom!
The huge lion's body heavily smashed into a large tree, causing the tree to break.
The Twin Headed Lion roared and crawled back up, wanting to escape again.
Unfortunately, the old man had already arrived in front of it. With a loud roar, his fist heavily smashed into the lion's body.
The old man didn't stop there and continuously threw out a few punches, each one landing on the lion's body.
The Twin Headed Lion let out a series of pitiful cries. In the end, it didn't even have the strength to fight back and softly fell to the ground.
When the Gold Wolf King and Cyan Fire Wolf saw this scene, they quickly retreated to Ling Xiao's side, their bodies trembling slightly.
"Master, this … this human is very strong." The Gold Wolf King transmitted a message to Ling Xiao.
"Yes, I know." Ling Xiao replied as he gripped his sword tightly.
Now, he was a hundred percent sure that this person was a Spirit Master, but he just didn't know what level he was at.
In terms of aura, this person was almost on par with his grandfather, but he didn't know who was stronger or weaker.
The Twin Headed Lion was beaten to death by the old man's bare hands.
Following this, the old man turned his head and called out to Ling Xiao, "Young man, let me borrow your weapon. I forgot to bring it when I left."
Ling Xiao's face darkened. This old man was really impolite. Did he not know that the weapon in his hand was a mid-tier Tier 2 weapon worth several thousand gold coins?
However, when he thought about how the other party was a Spirit Master, why would he care about his two small weapons? Thus, he threw the Blue Crystal Sword at the old man without hesitation.
After the elder received the blue crystal sword, he flicked the blade with his finger, making a crisp sound.
"Oh, not bad. It's a pity that the quality is a bit low," the elder evaluated the blue crystal sword. Then, he waved the blue crystal sword to dissect the Twin-Headed Lion.
Not long after, the twin-headed lion was dissected by the old man. The old man pulled out the sinister blue veins and the row of sharp fangs. The old man put them all into his bag.
"Young man, there are still a lot of things here. Do you need them?" The old man turned around and asked Ling Xiao.
The entire body of the high-tier Tier 2 Twin-Headed Lion was a treasure. Other than the blue veins and fangs, the lion's brain and fur … these were all worth a lot of gold coins!
The old man only took the blue veins and the fangs. He didn't want the rest.
Ling Xiao paused for a moment before saying, "Old man, there are still a lot of good things here. Don't you want them?"
"Hehe, these things are useless to me. Bringing them along will only be a burden. Young man, if you need them, you can take them. However, leave a few pieces of lion meat for me to roast." The old man laughed and threw the blue crystal sword back to Ling Xiao as he spoke.
"Then I won't be polite." Ling Xiao replied. He then took the lion's brain, fur … and a few other valuable things. Then, he cut out a large piece of meat and called out to the Golden Wolf King and Cyan Fire Wolf to divide the remaining lion meat.
"Young man, are these your Spiritual Beasts to protect you?"
The old man had been paying attention to the two Spiritual Beasts for a long time. When he saw Ling Xiao instruct the two Spiritual Beasts to divide the lion meat, he was shocked.
Ling Xiao said proudly, "These are Spiritual Beasts that I tamed a few days ago. I felt that their strength was not bad, so I let them follow me."
"Haha, young man, you need to be sincere. These two Spirit Beasts are much stronger than you, so I don't believe that you can subdue them. They should have been raised by your elders since you were young, right?" The elder smiled with his eyes narrowed.
A high-tier Tier 2 Wind Wolf and a mid-tier Tier 2 Cyan Fire Wolf were both much stronger than Ling Xiao. The old man naturally didn't believe that Ling Xiao was telling the truth.
Ling Xiao smiled bitterly and didn't explain. He then found some dry firewood nearby and started a fire. He placed the lion meat on it to roast.
"What is your name, old man?" Ling Xiao felt bored and couldn't help but ask as he roasted the meat.
"My surname is Li. People call me Elder Li," the old man replied.
"Elder Li?"
Ling Xiao was confused. He felt that this name sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it before.
"Young man, what should I call you?
You came to the mountain range alone to train. This place is the closest to the inner area, and there are many Tier 2 and above Spiritual Beasts here. Don't you feel afraid? "The old man who called himself Elder Li sized up Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao said, "Elder Li, you can just call me Ling Xiao. I sneaked out here to train. It's not good for me to stay at home and train."
"You're a descendant of the Ling family?" Elder Li asked in astonishment.
"Yes. Elder Li, are you also from Meteor City?" Ling Xiao asked.
Ling Xiao felt that the old man in front of him didn't have any malicious intentions. He seemed very easygoing, so he didn't mind telling the truth. If this old man really wanted to do something to him, then even ten of him wouldn't be his opponent.
"Haha, I'm also from Meteor City, and I'm old friends with your clan's leader, Ling Cang." Elder Li stroked his beard and laughed.
However, he still had some doubts in his heart, "When did the Ling family raise these two Spiritual Beasts?"
"So you know my grandfather. Then I'll have to call you Elder Li," Ling Xiao said in a flattering manner.
This person was a Spirit Master, a first-class expert in Meteor City. If Ling Xiao could build a relationship with him, then it would only be beneficial.
"Oh, so you're Ling Cang's grandson. Not bad, not bad. You're so young, and you're about to break through to the Mystic Realm. It seems that your Ling family will have another strong person in the future." Elder Li was stunned for a moment before praising Ling Xiao.
"Elder, you're flattering me. Here, this meat is for you," Ling Xiao said modestly as he handed over the roasted meat.
Elder Li couldn't help but take it and eat it in big bites.
Ling Xiao roasted another piece for himself and asked, "Elder Li, did you come to the mountain range to catch this Twin-Headed Lion?"
"That's not it. My goal is to go to the other side and get some good materials to forge a few weapons," Elder Li replied casually. He didn't have the slightest arrogance of an expert at all.
"Forge weapons?"
Ling Xiao murmured, then looked at Elder Li with wide eyes and exclaimed, "Elder, you're … You're Meteor City's Chief Refining Master, Master Li?"
"What Chief Refining Master? It's just a title given by others," Elder Li said with a wave of his hand.
"So it's Master Li, this junior has been disrespectful," Ling Xiao quickly said respectfully.
The old man in front of him was Meteor City's only Third Tier Refining Master, Master Li Kong.
In Meteor City, Li Xu enjoyed a very distinguished status. All the major clans had to treat him as a distinguished guest because most of the high level weapons in Meteor City were forged by him or his disciples. More importantly, he was the only one in Meteor City who could forge a Third Tier Profound Weapon.
For any martial artist, having a weapon in hand would greatly enhance their battle prowess. Especially the higher the level of a weapon, the more unexpected it could be used to kill the enemy. Therefore, most martial artists would carry a weapon with them in order to enhance their battle prowess.
Refining Masters who could forge high level weapons were very rare, so their status was especially noble. Especially a Third Tier Refining Master like Li Xu, he enjoyed a supreme status.
"What Master Li? You're not bad. Just call me Elder Li like before. When we return to Meteor City, I'll refine these two weapons and upgrade them. They should be able to reach the high second tier. It can also be considered as a credit for helping me block the Twin-Headed Lion," Li Xu said with a wave of his hand.
"Then … then many thanks, Elder Li," Ling Xiao replied.
He was very proud in his heart. He didn't expect that the old man he randomly met was actually the most famous Refining Master in the city. Moreover, he even promised to help him upgrade his weapons. This made him very happy.
There were many second tier weapons in Meteor City, but high second tier weapons and above were very rare. In the clan, those deacons only carried middle second tier weapons. Until now, no one had used a high second tier weapon.
When Ling Xiao asked the Grand Elder for a weapon, he knew that the Grand Elder had a collection, but the Grand Elder didn't give it to him. He wanted to wait until he reached the middle stage of the Profound Realm before he was willing to let him use it. It could be seen that the value of a high second tier weapon was very extraordinary.
However, Ling Xiao didn't seem very satisfied with this. He asked tentatively, "Elder Li, do you think my weapon can be upgraded to a Third Tier Profound Weapon?"
Weapons were divided into five levels and ten ranks. They were Mortal, Profound, Spirit, Sacred, and Divine. Every two ranks was a rank, and those that reached the third rank were called Profound Weapons.
Hearing this, Li Xu's face darkened. He said unhappily, "Do you think that Profound Weapons can be forged at any time?
To forge a Profound Weapon, other than using high grade materials, you also need the beast core of a third tier spirit beast. A third tier spirit beast is equivalent to a Spirit Master. Do you think you can catch one so easily? "
"So that's how it is. Elder Li, don't blame me for not being sensible." Ling Xiao hurriedly apologized. In his heart, he was despising Third Tier Refining Masters.
If Li Xu heard what Ling Xiao said in his heart, he was afraid that he would immediately slap him off. The dignified Chief Refining Master of Meteor City was looked down upon by such a kid. It was really a great irony.
"Oh right, Elder Li, do you still accept disciples? What do you think of my aptitude?" Ling Xiao asked while rubbing his hands.
He was thinking that since Refining Masters were so popular, why not learn it himself? With his aptitude, he would be able to learn it quickly.
Li Xu looked up and down at Ling Xiao and said, "Let's talk about it after you break through to the Profound Knight Realm. Refining Masters are the same as Alchemy Masters, they both need to be martial artists with fire attributes to learn. Moreover, I advise you not to put your mind on this. I believe that Ling Cang will not allow you to take me as your master. To become a Refining Master requires a lot of energy, and this will delay your cultivation. If you don't have the patience to learn, it will only ruin your future."
Ling Xiao scratched the back of his head and said, "Then forget it!"
He thought that with such a handsome person like him going to forge iron, it would only damage his image. If he was an Alchemy Master, he would consider it.
