Qi Baishi fainted.

The moment she fainted, the flames on the forging table suddenly extinguished, and a dazzling saber started to thump like a heartbeat.

“Dong Dong!”

“Dong Dong!”

“Dong Dong!”

The long blade let out a sharp hum amidst the rhythmic beating sounds.

On the body of the long blade was a red ball-shaped light barrier. Within it, golden, purple, and scarlet dragons swam around and gradually turned into numerous Dao rhythmic runes.

They were branded on it, causing the scarlet blade to have golden and purple ‘diamonds’ shining on it.

Originally, the Extreme Flame Ring Saber was merely a silver-tier weapon. However, under the nurture of blood, talent, Soul Essence, and sweat, it had surpassed gold-tier and platinum-tier, becoming a well-deserved diamond-tier saber!

It had surpassed many of the ordinary diamond-tier blades.

It was because Qi Baishi had spent all her efforts to forge Lin Qiye’s saber, to prove herself, and to repay his trust.

She had given so much that she couldn’t bear it anymore. She collapsed beside the forging table like a mermaid whose bones had been extracted.

At this moment, sweat flowed on her body, dripping through the young girl’s delicate and fair skin.

It made her crystal-clear body especially alluring and beautiful.

Of course, no one was there to admire the scene, and no one could help her up.

At this moment, Lin Qiye had already left the Science and Technology Association.

“Captain Wen, I’ll be leaving for some time. I need to meet a few old acquaintances.”

Wen Shuhong nodded.

“You can go. Killing is not allowed in Star City. It’s quite safe. You also have the jade pendant. If you take it out at a critical moment, it can intimidate all practitioners. Even Diamond Practitioners have to think twice before touching you.”

Wen Shuhong patted Lin Qiye’s shoulder.

“Remember to return to the floating island at night. Don’t stay outside. The jade pendant can’t block the black fog.”

“I understand. I will go back to the floating island in the evening.”

Captain Wen nodded slightly.

“Alright, I have some business to attend to. See you in the evening.”

While talking, the two of them parted ways.

Lin Qiye traveled quickly through Star City andarrived at a hotel.

After giving the waiter a brief description of his friends’ outfits and appearances, the waiter led Lin Qiye to a suite.

Inside the suite, Chen Fan was restless.

“What happened to Brother Ye?”

“He should have been back last night, but he was nowhere to be seen. It’s already past ten in the morning…”

His face was full of anxiety.

Jiang Nian giggled. “You have to trust Brother Ye! I believe he will come back unscathed.”

Jiang Nian’s bright eyes shone with a smile.

When Lin Qiye was three years old, he was thrown into the black fog and was able to survive. She was confident that he could be immune to the black fog at the critical moment.

Chen Fan looked helpless.

“The black fog is too dangerous. I am afraid that Brother Ye… Sigh! Brother Ye is taking a risk!”

He paced back and forth.

Jiang Nian propped her hands on the table and looked out of the window quietly.

Jiang Qingxue sipped her tea calmly.

Although there was a hint of worry in her eyes, she didn’t show it on her face.

The three of them looked different from each other.

After a while, Jiang Qingxue pushed the cup away.

“Perhaps Lin Qiye has had a fortuitous encounter and is cultivating in seclusion.

“Why are we waiting here? We must find a place to stay and set up an island to protect ourselves. We can’t stay in a hotel forever, can we?

“One night is 10,000 movement points!”

Upon hearing that, Jiang Nian looked depressed.

“But where are we going to settle down? The Seven Cities Alliance Army dislikes newcomers. We must sign a contract to be loyal to them before we can join.

“There’s something wrong with the Light and Shadow Group as well.

“As for the Science and Technology Association, which of us knows alchemy, refining, and research? If we don’t know these things, it is impossible to pass the assessment.

“If we have our family badge, we can ask for help, But I’ve already thrown away my family badge. Sister, what about yours?”

Jiang Qingxue was slightly disgusted. “I’ve already thrown it into the Black Fog Swamp.”

Jiang Nian shook her head. “What can we do? We can’t join any of the three forces. Only Ideal Island is left.

“But we’ve already asked. If we want to join Ideal Island, we must work for them for two months and take a character assessment. Once you give up on the character assessment, you have to wait a month before you can sign up again.”

Speaking of the character assessment, Jiang Qingxue couldn’t help but frown.

The Ideal Island was so weird.

Chen Fan also sighed and shook his head.

“Let’s wait for Brother Ye to meet us.”

Jiang Qingxue said, “What if Lin Qiye doesn’t come back until a month later? We can’t stay in a hotel for a month, can we? Even for me, three hundred thousand movement points is a lot of money.”

Upon hearing her question, Chen Fan’s expression froze.

Just as the three of them were at odds with each other, the doorbell rang outside the suite.

“Hello, Mr. Lin Qiye is here to see you.”

Chen Fan was ecstatic. He dashed out of the door and pulled it open.

At this moment, standing outside the door was the tall and handsome Lin Qiye.

“Brother Ye! You are back safe and sound!”

Chen Fan heaved a sigh of relief. He hugged Lin Qiye and patted him on the shoulder.

After the pat, Chen Fan felt a lot more relaxed.

“I thought I would have to hold a funeral.”

Lin Qiye smiled.

“What are you talking about? I am tough! When we were young, we survived the slums together. Later, we were ambushed by Li You and the Gold Practitioners. This morning, a Diamond Level demon attacked me, but I still didn’t die!”
