Chapter Seventy-Nine: Transaction

  No one paid attention to the pale-faced Xue Lin, and everyone was excitedly surrounding Hai Tian, or more precisely, the grayish-brown long sword in his hand.

  "Can I take a look?" Wei Yu's eyes shone brightly, his gaze fixed on the sword in Hai Tian's hand.

  "Of course." Wei Yu, as a master of refining equipment, naturally had many insights into refining equipment. Hai Tian also wanted to ask Wei Yu to help him evaluate it.

  Wei Yu took the yellow-tiered sword from Hai Tian and fondled it lovingly. The smooth, icy blade gave him a different tactile sensation, with clear textures and sparkling lights that seemed like stars under the moonlight.

  The exquisite sword hilt is also breathtaking.

  Everyone present, except for Xiaoyu and Wei Hai, was not a master? At first glance, it can be seen that this yellow-level primary sword has approached the level of a yellow-level intermediate sword.

  Especially as a refiner, Wei Yu and Tianyu were even more astonished. The same materials, others could only refine primary sword equipment, but Haitian's Heart Refining Method could go further.

  If Haotian wasn't a novice but an experienced and skilled refiner, it shouldn't be impossible to refine this material into a mid-grade yellow-tier sword.

  "Too perfect!" Wei Yu exclaimed sincerely, he dared to say that even if he used the same materials, he might not be able to refine it to such a perfect level. But Hai Tian had done just that.

  It can be seen how powerful the method of refining one's mind is.

  "It's indeed very good, almost reaching the level of a mid-grade yellow-tier sword. It's hard to imagine that this is Hai Tian's first attempt at refining an artifact." Tuo Ka also excitedly praised.

  "That is, what kind of person is Tian Ge? He's indeed a genius beyond doubt!" Before Hai Tian could respond, Xiao Yu was already laughing proudly and complacently.

  It made Haitian laugh and cry, but unexpectedly, Xiaoyu was even more pleased with himself. However, being able to receive the praise of professional equipment master Wei Yu, Haitian's heart was also very happy, after all, this was his first time refining equipment, and he succeeded on the second try.

  "It's really great, if these few places could be connected a bit better, the quality of this sword would be even higher. What a pity." Wei Yu couldn't help but feel sorry for Hai Tian.

  "Boom!" Suddenly a loud explosion came from behind, startling everyone.

  Everyone immediately turned around to look, and saw that Xue Lin was covered in black from head to toe, her hair had become yellowish-brown, and there was a faint smell of glue on her body. There were also some residual materials by her hand, which made it clear at a glance that the explosion was caused by her.

  "What's wrong with you?" Wei Yu asked sternly, frowning.

  Xue Lin helplessly raised her head, with tears swirling in her eyes. She had just seen Wei Yu and the others constantly praising Hai Tian, getting angry to the point of trembling all over, accidentally causing the materials being merged to explode, making the same mistake as Hai Tian, except that Hai Tian reacted faster at the time and didn't suffer much damage, while she was quite miserable.

  Tianyu also walked up to Xue Lin's side and asked in a low voice: "What are you doing?"

  Xiao Yu ignored Xue Lin's pitiful appearance, raised her head and puffed out her chest, asking in a disdainful tone: "I heard earlier that someone who lost was going to run naked on the streets, do you still remember, Xiao Hai?"

  "Of course I remember, I recall that this person was quite confident and claimed he would never lose. But what about now?" Wei Hai also chimed in with Xiaoyu.

  "You guys!" Xue Lin was so angry that her tears were welling up in her eyes, glaring at Xiao Yu and Wei Hai. After a moment of contemplation, as if she had made a decision: "Fine! I'll strip! Go streaking on the main street!"

  "Halt!" Sherlyn hadn't taken two steps when she was stopped by two angry shouts.

  Among them, one was Wei Yu's, which wasn't surprising. What was surprising was that the other one came from Hai Tian.

  Everyone stared at Haitian in confusion, unable to understand his meaning. Even Wei Yu was the same.

  Haitian ignored the shocked gazes of the crowd, walked up to Xue Lin, tightened her collar and said disdainfully: "You don't have to go, I don't want to see your face."

  "You!" For a young girl, there was no greater insult than this. Sherlynn was quite confident in her own figure and appearance, but Hai Tian actually looked down on her, how could she stand it?

  "I hate you!" Sherlene threw out this sentence and pushed open the door to run out.

  Tianyu also felt that Haitian's words were too excessive, so she coldly snorted and chased after him without saying a word, leaving Haitian bewildered, what did this have to do with her?

  Xiao Yu and Wei Hai shouted in unison: "Tian Ge! Well said!"

  "Hey, hey, I say you're going too far!" Seeing his own student being bullied like this, Teacher Wei Yu couldn't help but intervene. Although he admired Hai Tian, he wouldn't just stand by and watch his student get bullied.

  "Hmph! Am I supposed to let her run naked in the streets and lose face for you? Wei Yu, don't be too overprotective, it's not good for the younger generation's growth. Sometimes they need to suffer a bit more to learn how to be human." Hai Tian said coldly.

  Wei Yu looked at Haitian in surprise, if he remembered correctly, this was what he had said to Tuo Ka before.

  Tuo Ka saw the atmosphere between the two men tense up again, fearing they would fight once more. He directly jumped in, inserting himself between them: "Old Wei, don't blame him, I told you before, it was your student's attitude that wasn't good from the start."

  "What's going on with Xue Lin?" Wei Yu saw Tuo Ka block his way again, and although he was somewhat annoyed in his heart, he could think rationally now, unlike earlier when he had just come out and heard that Xue Lin was being bullied, and immediately wanted to take revenge.

  Helpless, Toka had to recount what happened earlier: "Old Wei, it's not that I'm criticizing you, but when teaching and imparting knowledge, sometimes you should also pay attention to their moral character. Tianyu is fine, gentle and virtuous, but Xuelin is really too much, completely judging people by appearance."

  "Hmph! I didn't expect it to be like this!" Wei Yu heavily slapped the table, he wasn't an unreasonable person, after messing around for half a day, it was all Xue Lin's fault. He had even wanted to avenge her earlier, but now his old face was slightly red with embarrassment.

  Wei Yu completely understood and Tuo Ka hurriedly laughed: "Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, everyone should get along peacefully."

  What Tuo Ka said was right, but it depends on who he said it to. Wei Yu is his old friend and peer. But Hai Tian is only in his teens, although he has the Heart Refining Method, this is obviously also just learned, and his strength is not strong, how can he make Tuo Ka, a nine-star Sword Emperor, so respectful?

  Just now, Wei Yu was busy paying attention to Hai Tian himself and didn't notice that the problem lay in this. Torca was too respectful of Hai Tian, not at all like an elder's attitude towards a younger generation.

  "I say Toka, what's wrong with you? Why are you being so respectful to Haitian? This is not like you at all?" Wei Yu was very puzzled and looked at Toka with suspicion.

  This remark stunned Tuo Ka, his old face flushed red with anger. He knew that if this were to be said out loud, it would definitely become a joke at Wei Yu's expense. However, he didn't know how to say it, and for the time being, the atmosphere in the room was awkward.

  The more hesitant Tuo Ka was, the more Wei Yu felt that there was a problem here: "What is he to you?"

  "This... "Tuo Ka naturally understood that Wei Yu was referring to Hai Tian, hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice, "He... he is my master's uncle."

  Wei Yu was also a Sword Emperor, although Toka's voice was very small, but this did not deceive him. On the contrary, the content of these words was like thunder exploding in his ears: "What? He is your Shifu's uncle?"

  Tuo Ka nodded helplessly. If Hai Tian still had his past strength, he wouldn't be stuttering like this. But now, Hai Tian looked only in his teens and didn't even have the strength of a swordsman, which was too embarrassing to mention.

  As for Tuo Ka's words, Hai Tian's face didn't change much, with a look of it being a matter of course. On the other hand, Xiao Yu and Wei Hai were extremely excited, as if it was about themselves.

  Wei Yu looked at Hai Tian with a surprised and scrutinizing gaze, his entire being appearing ordinary and unremarkable, with an aura completely subdued, but a pair of icy eyes occasionally flashed with sharp light.

  "Are you really Toka's Shifu Zu?" Wei Yu couldn't believe it, a teenager would be his old friend Jiuxing Jianhuang Toka's Shifu Zu.

  Haitian didn't seem to have any doubts about it, and shrugged his shoulders: "You can think of it that way. By the way, weren't you wanting to see my secret recipe for refining equipment? I'll give it to you now."

  Haitian's words shocked Wei Yu once again. He stared at Haitian in surprise: "You really are willing to let me see?"

  "Of course, didn't we just discuss this? Are you going back on your word?" Hai Tian looked at Wei Yu with puzzlement.

  "Do you know the value of this Heart Refining Scripture? It's equivalent to a Heaven Stage cultivation method, are you not afraid that I'll steal it and learn it?" Wei Yu was puzzled.

  If an ordinary person obtained the alchemy manual, they would absolutely not show it to others and at most pass it on to their own disciples. But Hai Tian seemed completely unconcerned, without any stinginess, was there something wrong with this?

  "This method of refining the heart was also unexpectedly obtained by me, you see it's not a big deal, let alone we have a transaction between us? You lend me a high-level sword for three days, and I'll lend you the secret recipe for refining equipment, isn't that fair?" Haitian was quite dismissive.

  He certainly knew the value of "Ninefold Overlapping Waves", but he was even more aware that this alchemy manual would not be able to exert much power in his own hands, and he did not have a special yearning for alchemy. If he could help others, he would be very happy.

  Moreover, Wei Yu can't be considered an outsider, at least he's an old friend of Toka's, and basically they can be considered friends. Besides, there are also high-level sword artifacts in here.

  Helping Wei He is the same as helping himself, let alone just borrowing "Ninefold Ripple" for a read, even letting him borrow it for several more days would be no problem. But sending it to him is impossible.

  He is generous, but not to this extent.

  Wei Yu couldn't understand Hai Tian's thinking at all, and looked at him as if he were an alien. Was this what it meant to be a transcendent like Toka's master?
