CHAPTER 1061: CHAPTER 1058: SWORD FURNACE MASTER

Gai Madman immediately glared angrily at Ye Xuan, cursing: "Emperor Ye, you can insult your old brother, but you absolutely cannot insult me in this way!"

Ye Xuan rolled his eyes and said irritably: "Alright, I’ll change the way, you’re just an old fool."

Gai Madman blinked, then wiped his beard, picked up three sheets of Saint Paper, and muttered to himself: "Such an insult is barely acceptable."

Ye Xuan, seeing this, said leisurely: "Forget it, if you can’t understand it, don’t look. I’ll find Old Lei and the others to take a look someday."

Gai Madman, as if greatly stimulated, suddenly stood up, clutching the three sheets of Saint Paper, and flew onto a cloud without looking back, shouting loudly: "Don’t worry, watch me figure it out in no time. Stay right here and wait!"

Then, Gai Madman flew away on the cloud.

Not long after.

Gai Madman and Ye Xuan exchanged a glance, Gai Madman averted his eyes, snorted coldly: "Stop staring, I just forgot my wine gourd, you stay right here and watch me figure it out in minutes!"

Then, Gai Madman grabbed the wine gourd and left again.

"Old fool."

Ye Xuan curled his lips, rather disdainful.

He admitted that Gai Madman had his impressive points, but in some aspects, indeed, he was no different from an old fool.

Not knowing how to read is fine.

But not being able to count is really scary.

Four characters, he stubbornly says are three...

How could anyone figure that out? Only a fool would.

On the third sheet of Saint Paper, the separation between ’Gong’ and ’Xian’ was so obvious, yet he couldn’t see it.

If that’s not being an old fool, what is?

Besides.

Why the hell didn’t you ask if you couldn’t read or count?

Ye Xuan stood up, planning to stroll around Suyun Palace.

It’s been exhausting staying in Dao Chu Ancient Land, so it’s a perfect opportunity to rest for a while in Suyun Palace.

Can’t speak for other places.

But in Gai Madman’s Suyun Palace, it’s absolutely safe.

Even the Double Emperors couldn’t force their way in.

This is the point Ye Xuan was referring to, about Gai Madman’s prowess.

Perhaps to some ancient powerful beings, the Protectors of Supreme Pavilion must seem formidable.

But they think so only because of the three words in front of Protector: Supreme Pavilion.

If you replace it with another Sect, say, Luotian Sacred Land where Zhao Yulong is, placed in the eyes of those ancient powerful beings.

Oh, no.

It wouldn’t even be qualified to enter their gaze.

But that’s the idea.

Those ancient beings think Gai Madman is formidable because he’s a Protector of Supreme Pavilion.

Actually, only Ye Xuan knows.

It’s because Gai Madman is a Protector that Supreme Pavilion is formidable.

It’s just a pity that no one knows this anymore.

Gai Madman doesn’t care, Ye Xuan doesn’t care.

Others, even more so, wouldn’t know this point.

"Seems like this guy hasn’t been idle these years either."

Strolling around Suyun Palace, Ye Xuan discovered quite a few treasures.

Among clusters of clouds, Immortal Light faintly drifted.

Within those Immortal Lights were all sorts of gourds.

Varying in size, with different colors, even the aura differed vastly.

These aren’t wine gourds.

They are genuine Sword Nurturing Gourds.

No Sword Cultivator in the world doesn’t want to own a Sword Nurturing Gourd.

Unfortunately, Sword Furnace Masters capable of crafting Sword Nurturing Gourds have long vanished, only existing in ancient history.

As mentioned earlier, there exist various cultivation systems in the world, and professions of all kinds.

Such as the four most popular professions today: Spirit Array Master, Divine Talisman Master, Artifact Refiner, Alchemist.

And the four ghostly professions: Coffin Carrier, Paper Macher, Corpse Carrier, Corpse Chaser.

Also rarer ones like Divine Puppet Master, Feng Shui Master, etc.

These all are various systems.

Sword Furnace Master was once among them too.

And during the era when Sword Cultivators reigned supreme, Sword Furnace Master was absolutely prized.

Surpassing even the four major professions today.

The specialty of Sword Furnace Master was forging Sword Nurturing Gourds for Sword Cultivators.

The main feature of Sword Cultivator’s cultivation lies in the ’sword’.

The existence of Sword Nurturing Gourd could rapidly enhance a Sword Cultivator’s strength, with also a hidden potential effect.

In the Emperor Era of the past, Sword Cultivators were absolutely mainstream too.

Back then, various Sword Nurturing Gourds were emerging one after another.

Among them, the Snow Nourishing Sword Gourd led the pack.

Snow Nourishing Sword Gourd, the very Sword Nurturing Gourd hanging at Ye Xuan’s waist.

This was the undisputed world’s number one Sword Nurturing Gourd during the Emperor Era.

And this Sword Nurturing Gourd, was crafted by Gai Madman himself.

But only Ye Xuan knew about this matter.

Little did anyone know, the top ten in the Sword Gourd List back then were all crafted by Gai Madman.

Apart from Snow Nourishing Sword Gourd, the other nine were all from this Suyun Palace.

Even Supreme Pavilion didn’t know about this.

Thus, even fewer knew Gai Madman’s unnamed title.

Ye Xuan once said, the most outstanding Sword Furnace Masters throughout history couldn’t match a single finger of Gai Madman.

That’s how exaggerated it is.

Ye Xuan categorized Sword Furnace Masters into two types.

One is called Gai Madman, the other is called other Sword Furnace Masters.

This indicates how highly Ye Xuan rates Gai Madman.

Of course, if Gai Madman’s abilities were lacking, Ye Xuan wouldn’t associate much with him.

"Speaking of which, besides the Snow Nourishing Sword Gourd, this guy seems to have nurtured another one, can go check that out..."

Ye Xuan muttered softly.

To him, Suyun Palace was as familiar as the back of his hand, requiring no guiding at all. He could find his way with his eyes closed.

Proceeding deeper, Ye Xuan arrived at a Divine Abyss surrounded by blue clouds.

Within that Divine Abyss, rolling with blue qi.

Reaching up to the Nine Heavens, extending down to the Netherworld.

And in the center of the Divine Abyss, there was a swirl of blue qi, within which floated a small green gourd, sinking and rising.

"Goodness, it’s already completed."

Ye Xuan saw that small green gourd, immediately grinning, feeling deceived.

This Sword Nurturing Gourd before him was definitely not inferior to the Snow Nourishing Sword Gourd!

Earlier, he had asked Gai Madman about it.

But at that time, Gai Madman said crafting the Snow Nourishing Sword Gourd was his all.

Crafting the next one was impossible.

He had even acted as if the Snow Nourishing Sword Gourd was a gift to him, with nothing left.

"Well, although we teamed up this time, even brothers should settle accounts clearly. I’ll take this Sword Nurturing Gourd."

"Just right, I didn’t get a gift for Youwei at Dao Chu Ancient Land."

"This Sword Nurturing Gourd will be a gift for Youwei..."

Ye Xuan mused, his Emperor Soul stirring, directly manifesting his Emperor’s Shadow, reaching out and grabbing the green Sword Nurturing Gourd in his hand.

Meanwhile, Gai Madman, who was in seclusion studying ancient characters, let out a miserable cry, facing the direction of the Divine Abyss, cursed with a crying face: "That damn Emperor Ye, taking my Snow Nourishing Gourd is one thing, also stealing my Green Bird, wait till I decipher these ancient characters, I’ll have it out with you!"

The next second, Gai Madman chuckled slyly: "You definitely didn’t know, the Green Bird was intentionally left there by me, the real big treasure is already hidden!"
