I really became a king.

Chapter 385 Refining Treasures
"His good days are about to end!"

Hearing this, Mao Wenhuan was startled and subconsciously asked, "What do you know?"

Unexpectedly, Liu Siluan, who originally had a ruthless look on his face, suddenly changed his expression to a calm one and said with a smile: "What can I know? Anyone with insight can see at a glance that the Emperor of Dali will not sit idly by and watch him secure his position as the Lord of Western Frontier."

Mao Wenhuan didn't say anything, staring at Liu Siluan without moving his eyes, and said solemnly: "Siluan, we have known each other for many years. As an elder brother, I advise you not to get involved!"

"This is a royal power struggle. It's a stormy situation. We have no right to interfere. If we do get involved, we might end up dead without a burial place!"

Liu Siluan still didn't care, and advised: "Wealth and honor are sought in danger. We are not young anymore, we should take risks when it's time."

Mao Wenhuan suddenly felt that this old friend in front of him had changed and became very strange. He didn't know why this happened and what fostered his ambition.

But he still decided to give some advice, and couldn't help but sigh: "Si Luan, what else do you want? Isn't the current Western Frontier better than the previous Chi clan era?"

He paused for a moment before continuing, "Moreover, the prince is a man of great talent and strategy. He now controls the Dali King's flag and holds the power of a vassal state. He has many brave generals under his command, and the Wenzong Mansion obeys his orders. His rise is unstoppable. It won't take long for him to become a force like the Mu family in the northern border..."

"This is a golden opportunity for us to achieve great things and be granted titles and honors. We should cherish it..."

But Liu Siluan didn't let him continue, and interrupted him coldly: "You are wrong, he won't be able to stay in Xijiang for long."

"The secular sects, the Ye family of Bailing, the Queen of Dali, and even the four border dynasties all regard him as their mortal enemy. He is almost the enemy of the entire world. He is too arrogant. Such a person will not live long."

At this point, Liu Siluan smiled strangely and said, "And this day will come soon!"

Looking at his friend with a sly smile on his face, Mao Wenhuan knew that it was useless for him to say anything.

However, Liu Siluan obviously had no intention of stopping talking. He leaned forward and said with a smile, "Time is running out. Brother Wenhuan, it's not too late for you to change your allegiance now..."

Mao Wenhuan didn't listen to what he said, he stood up and walked out, when he reached the door, he stopped and said: "We have met for a while, from now on...be well."

After saying that, he walked out without looking back, leaving Liu Siluan sitting there with a sneer on his face.

After leaving the room, Mao Wenhuan felt a little depressed. He wanted to persuade his good friend, but now it seemed that there was no need to persuade him.

He sighed inwardly, he really couldn't understand how Liu Siluan had completely changed into a different person in just a few months.

In the past, during the Chi clan era, he suffered from the Chi clan's suppression and exclusion, but he was still able to maintain his original heart. But now, the Dali royal flag has returned, and he has abandoned his original heart instead.

Didn’t he notice anything unusual about Demon Realm Pass in the past two months?

Generals of all sizes from the entire eight divisions and three camps frequently entered and exited Kongtong Mountain. At the same time, another yamen of the Shen Ce Mansion, the Xingwu Yamen, also saw many new faces in the past two years.

Or maybe they found out but didn't take it seriously. Could it be that their self-confidence has swelled to such an extent? Where does such great confidence come from?
On the contrary, in the past two months, from the Shen Ce Mansion's marching office, to the servant vanguard camp, to the fierce soldier camp with only ninety-nine people, almost all the generals stayed indoors and stayed inside the camp gates.

Only a very small number of people, such as Liu Siluan, were very active, and there were almost always people in the mansion.

Could it be that they really thought that Ying Ge and An Hu, who were under the prince's command, were blind? And the notorious Blood Robe Guards, how could their every move be concealed?

"The storm is coming..." Mao Wenhuan sighed again, walked out of the small courtyard, and shook his head slightly at a servant in the distance.

After receiving the signal, the servant turned and left silently.

"Forget it. I have already expressed my feelings for you, but in the end, we are not on the same path..."

This time, he took great risks to ask the prince for advice to Liu Siluan. He wanted to persuade his old friend to stop before it was too late, but he failed.

As for Jiang Yi, he has not left Kongtong Mountain since his meeting with the old lady of Qiu Batu's family.

In addition to meeting some visitors every day, he also frequently summoned generals under his command, both big and small. Although it was very frequent, it was very secretive and they were basically mixed in with the foreign visitors.

Of course, in the eyes of those who are interested, this is not a secret. Many people even secretly laugh at Jiang Yi's self-righteousness. How can he hide this superficial trick from everyone?

Jiang Yi did not react to this and continued to summon his generals in this seemingly hidden way.

False and true, real and fake, this is also a good way to confuse people.

Jiang Yi spent the rest of his time in seclusion practicing.

He has been stuck at the sixth level of martial arts for a while, and recently he has had a vague feeling of wanting a breakthrough, but he always feels as if something is missing and it is not perfect.

As for what he lacked, he had no idea for a while. He simply didn't rush to make a breakthrough, but just quietly polished his cultivation.

On this day, after finishing his daily affairs, Jiang Yi arrived at his exclusive martial arts training ground on Kongtong Mountain before noon as usual.

Although this martial arts arena is located in Prince Yi's mansion, it is the only one on a steep cliff halfway up the mountain. Standing here, you can not only see the snow-covered Demon Realm Mountains, but also overlook most of the Demon Realm Pass. In addition, several towering trees form shades, and the breeze is gentle, giving people a relaxed and pleasant feeling.

In the evening, a figure hurriedly walked out of the martial arts field, with a food box on his arm and his steps were a little messy.

Only after they had completely left the training ground did Tuo Xiaoliu's tense body relax. He leaned against a wall and gasped.

But the expression on her face was one of aggrieved, and one could even vaguely see traces of tears in the corners of her eyes, as well as a hint of resentment.

She didn't know what was going on, but her prince would ask her to deliver meals to the martial arts arena every now and then. However, she didn't eat much every time, and was bullied by the prince.

Yes, in her opinion it was bullying, but she didn't dare to resist. She could only squat in the corner, half-tilted her head and served hard with her mouth.

Every time I finish, my mouth feels numb and it takes a while to recover.

Deep down, she didn't mind this, but her own prince's face was too serious and he never looked at her well.

She wanted to ask Lord Mi several times, did the prince also have such a scary black face when doing this with the other party? But she didn't dare to ask after all. However, seeing the sweet smile on Lord Mi's face every day, she knew that he would definitely not be so rude.

Tuo Xiaoliu looked down at his body and touched his cheek. He really couldn't understand why his prince, who had so many pretty maids to use, was interested in an older young woman like him?
He shook his head, adjusted his clothes, and walked out of the corner calmly.

A comfortable smile unconsciously appeared on the corners of her mouth, because she knew that after venting this anger, her prince would not let her come to the martial arts arena to deliver food boxes for several days.

But then he remembered something, put away his joy, looked back at the martial arts arena which was still visible, and tiptoed away.

Jiang Yi naturally saw this scene and became angry again. If he was not afraid of the bad influence, he might have called the other party back again.

“Is this what they call a special plot?”

Jiang Yi didn't know what was wrong with him. Every now and then he would catch the other person and make a fuss about it. Especially the other person's aggrieved look, which seemed to want to resist but didn't dare to, always made him more interested.

Standing on the edge of the cliff and taking a look at the scenery in the distance, Jiang Yi calmed down and came to a simple stone house.

This stone house was carved out of a huge rock. It is not very large, only about 50 to 60 square meters. It is the place where Jiang Yi practices seclusion.

Moreover, the entire stone house is shrouded in a concealment magic array that can block all prying eyes.

After practicing for a while with his eyes closed, the blood in his body surged and there was a kind of momentum that could not be suppressed, so Jiang Yi quickly stopped.

Although he also yearns for the seventh realm, after all, when he reaches the seventh realm he will be a true martial arts master and his personal strength will undergo a qualitative leap.

But his intuition told him that it was not the time to break the mirror, otherwise he would regret it for the rest of his life.

"I can only stop practicing temporarily..."

Jiang Yi shook his head helplessly. After thinking for a while, he flipped his palm and a broken sword appeared before him.

This broken sword was obtained as a trophy from Ye Ke. On the surface, it is a broken sword, but in fact it is a sword box, which is extremely precious.

This is still in a damaged state, with only half left. If it were in a complete state, the grade would probably be no lower than his Blood-Transforming Flying Knife.

However, Jiang Yi did not intend to keep it, but wanted to use the broken sword and sword box as materials for refining weapons.

And it has been put into action. The pendant hanging on Jiang Xiaotong's forehead was made from a small piece of the broken sword. As for the flying swords in the pendant, they were made by directly peeling off more than a dozen flying swords from the broken sword.

Jiang Yi really loved his niece and taught her the complete versions of "Flash Inch" and "Controlling Blood and Drawing Sword Technique".

And Jiang Xiaotong did not disappoint him. He had a very high talent in martial arts practice.

Jiang Yi flipped his palm again, and a dark square sword box appeared in front of him.

It was he who used the "Treasure Refining Art" to refine the sword box himself. Now that he had to suppress his cultivation and could not practice, he might as well start refining the sword box.

After such a long period of polishing, the black sword case looks much better than before. In Xiao Yangjiao's words, it is not as ugly as before.

"Ugly?"

Jiang Yi gently stroked the sword case and didn't think it was ugly at all. This was the result of several years of hard work and the weapon that consumed the most energy.

Now he was going to completely integrate the broken sword case into the black sword case.
