Immortal Path To Heaven Chapter 297

Wu Hanning carefully accepted the longsword and instantly felt like her arm was directing her fingers.

Her feeling of surprise was simply indescribable because she was already mentally prepared.

The longsword was something that Wu Hanning entrusted her mental state to, and it was as important as though it was her second life. In fact, she was able to fathom the integration of Heaven and man because she possessed this peculiar weapon and the relevant secret technique.

Nonetheless, once the longsword was refined, there should inevitably be a barrier between her and the weapon.

Needless to say, as long as the special properties were retained in the longsword and that she was still the owner, the barrier could be gotten rid of very fast. She strongly believed that she could recover her best state as soon as possible.

However, much to her surprise, Wu Hanning realized the moment she held the longsword that her connection with it had not been broken off. No, not to mention it was broken off, there was no obstruction at all. Moreover, she was shocked yet overjoyed because the weapon underwent an enormous change where it was upgraded to a much greater height than she imagined.

Wu Hanning glanced at Ou Yangming and smiled apologetically as she said, “Master Ou, please wait for a while.” She flashed and fluttered away like a cloud. Ou Yangming reached out his hand but forced himself to hold back. He believed that Wu Hanning would keep her promise. After all, she was from the Wu family, which was enough to a.s.sure him.

Wu Hanning left the room with her longsword and arrived at another secret room.

She shouted eagerly almost right after the door was opened, “Uncle, quickly come to take a look!”

The person in the room turned around; it was Wu Hongxi, who taught Ou Yangming the path of equilibrium.

“My dear niece, when have you become so impatient?” The Fine Grade King laughed out loud.

Wu Hanning blushed but blurted, “Uncle, the weapon he smithed is extremely different!” “What?” Wu Hongxi was slightly stunned. “That young fella is incredibly talented and has great comprehension; he's one of a kind. Since he was bold enough to promise you that he'll complete the task, he likely won't make any mistakes. Did he… Mess it up?”

“Master Ou didn't mess it up, but the Icy Sword that he smithed seemed to have improved greatly!” Wu Hanning immediately responded.

Wu Hongxi could not help but laugh. He took the longsword and inspected it while he remarked, “Since it was reformed, its quality would've increased, and it'll naturally become more… Hey?”

He suddenly paused and fixed his gaze on the longsword, and his face took on a ghastly expression.

“W-what's this smithing technique? Hmm, it's not my path of equilibrium… No, there's a slight resemblance to it, but it looks more like Brother Jin's Layering Art!” Wu Hongxi mumbled as he was confused. “The layering seems unordinary-what is it?”

He pondered for a long time and asked, “Hanning, are you still in sync with your sword?”

Without further ado, Wu Hanning waved her slender hand, causing the longsword to buzz and fly into her palm. Instead of saying anything, she responded through a practical move.

“You've reconnected with it already?” Wu Hongxi widened his eyes as he was taken aback. He sighed as he thought his niece's talent was truly frightening.

Who knew, Wu Hanning shook her head and said, “I didn't.”

“Oh, since you didn't, you…” Wu Hongxi paused abruptly. His face changed, and he asked in shock, “Did he not affect your longsword when he revamped it?”

“Yes. I doubted it at first, but the truth is clear, so there's no way I can't believe it,” Wu Hanning replied to her uncle seriously.

Wu Hongxi furrowed his eyebrows after some thought, then he retrieved an item and tore it apart. As a result, a beam of light shone on the longsword.

It was an Appraisal Light, where the longsword's properties were clearly displayed inside.

Master Wu and his niece watched with bright eyes, but they were both utterly shocked when they saw the properties.

“What do you feel?” Wu Hongxi asked Wu Hanning when they looked at each other.

Wu Hanning nodded and answered in a high spirit, “Uncle, the appraisal is right; it's true that those two properties were enhanced!”

“It's impossible! It's impossible… Even if my path of equilibrium and Brother Jin's Layering Art were merged, these two properties couldn't have been promoted.” Wu Hongxi's lips trembled. He grabbed his hair in confusion and neither looked dignified nor steady like a Fine Grade King.

Wu Hanning looked at her uncle in pity, but she understood how he felt. If she encountered a similar unsolvable problem in martial arts, she would probably react the same way.

She suddenly recalled something, so she asked, “Uncle, I prepared the peculiar stone, which was given by our ancestor, as a material for Ou Yangming. Could it be related to that?”

Wu Hongxi was instantly moved, and his eyes lit up. “Is the ore still here?”

“Uhm…” Wu Hanning smiled bitterly. “I was too eager to inspect the weapon earlier, so I didn't notice.”

“Aren't you going back to check?!” Wu Hongxi rolled his eyes helplessly. “Uncle, aren't you coming with me?” Wu Hanning grinned. “You can discuss it with him if you have any queries.”

Wu Hongxi scoffed. “That isn't necessary; you can go on your own.” He waved his hand and urged her to leave. With that, Wu Hanning waved her hand to keep her longsword, then she left the room nimbly.

“Hmph.” Wu Hongxi sneered and shook his head. 'If Ou Yangming knows I'm here, he'll probably make unnecessary guesses.

'No matter what, it's best that I don't meet him here today.'

Before long, Wu Hanning arrived at the smithing room. She cut to the chase by thanking Ou Yangming, then she asked, “Master Ou, are the materials that were prepared still here?”

Ou Yangming was startled. “They're on the casting table.”

Wu Hanning went to the table to take a look, then she calmly kept the remaining materials back into her interspatial bag.

The young fellow frowned upon seeing this. “Judging from her status, I can't believe she's concerned about the materials. They're valuable indeed, their values vary according to a person's ident.i.ty.'

Nevertheless, the materials did not belong to him, so there was nothing he could do if she wanted to take them back.

After Wu Hanning kept the materials on the casting table, she asked, “Master Ou, did you say you want to observe the interspatial bag for an hour?”

“Yes.” Ou Yangming's eyes glowed.

Ever since he grasped the path of equilibrium, he gained some idea on an interspatial bag's refining method. If he could also observe a ready-made interspatial bag, he would be even more confident about refining it.

“Okay, I'll lend you my interspatial bag, and I'll come back in an hour.” Wu Hongxi brushed her interspatial bag to retrieve the treasure sword, then she removed the bag from her waist and tossed it to Ou Yangming. She left swiftly after.

She returned to the big room after a brief moment, and when her uncle cast a questioning look at her, she noted without any hesitation, “It's gone.”

“What?”

“The ore is gone.”

“Indeed! The source of the change to your treasure sword is the ore.” Wu Hongxi slammed the table hard. He was highly spirited as he commented, “It's unbelievable. How did the young fella melt the ore?”

“Is that very difficult?” Wu Hanning was struck dumb.

“Hehe, it's not just difficult-it's impossible!” Wu Hongxi knitted his eyebrows and continued to mumble, “How did he manage to do it? The condition is… No longer available…”

Wu Hongxi gave up in the end because he could not figure out how Ou Yangming was able to succeed.

He glanced at his niece, who was wielding the longsword, and asked, “Did the young fella tell you how he upgraded the equipment's equivalent rank?”

“No. He only borrowed my interspatial bag, saying that he wants to study it for a while.” Wu Hanning smiled.

“Oh, your interspatial bag. Why did he borrow it?”

“I don't know.” Wu Hanning was overwhelmed with happiness as he sensed the surging energy in her longsword.

“Did you lend it to him?”

“I did because it'll only be for an hour anyway. Even if he doesn't want to return it to me, he won't be able to escape!” Wu Hanning was confident.

“Oh, did you leave anything inappropriate in the bag?” Wu Hongxi asked casually because if his niece was so careless to leave some confidential items from the imperial family in the bag, she would be in trouble.

“Ah-“Wu Hanning froze at once and blushed. She trembled a little but quickly stood up and disappeared from the room.

Wu Hongxi was dumbfounded. “She didn't really leave the imperial family's secret treasures inside, did she…”

In the smithing room, Ou Yangming shook his head when he watched Wu Hanning leave like the wind. He thought, 'This young lady is too rash.'

Despite that, he was drawn by the interspatial bag in front of him right away.

'An interspatial bag—this is the interspatial bag that I've been dreaming about.'

He inhaled deeply to calm himself down. It was a rare opportunity, and he could not miss it.

No matter what, he was determined to treasure the hour. Ou Yangming slowly released his mental power into the interspatial bag. According to the crystal ball's memory, the bag could only be activated by mental power, such that it would only be destroyed if one applied brute force to it.

Given that it was his first time coming across a complete interspatial bag, he was much slower than usual.

Even so, the interspatial bag was finally unveiled in front of him through his continuous hard work.

His sea of consciousness seemed to have connected with the interspatial bag at that instant, and he could see every item in the bag with his mental conception.

At the spur of the moment, he was subconsciously attracted by a pile of red and green items, which had very little cloth.

'What's this?' He wondered.
