Wu Shattered Star River

After consolidating his realm for two days, Jiang Han emerged from seclusion.

He took Wu Yao'er and Jiang Li to the Ruyi Pavilion, but Sun Feifei was gone and not in Beishang City. Jiang Han spent 10 billion Divine Crystals to buy two treasures.

One was a spiritual medicine for prolonging life, and the other was a top-grade holy medicine for nourishing the soul.

These two treasures were intended as apprenticeship gifts. Since Marquis Liyang wasn't just casually taking disciples for fun but genuinely valued them and wanted to teach them, Jiang Han naturally knew how to behave.

Ten billion Divine Crystals might not be much to Marquis Liyang, but Jiang Han had to show his attitude.

At the same time, he instructed the two that since they had become disciples, they should respect and honor Marquis Liyang like a father, and not just treat him as a backer.

Several more days passed, and the appointed time arrived.

Jiang Han brought Jiang Li and Wu Yao'er, while Xuan Yuanqing and Fang Mengyao followed along to witness the apprenticeship ceremony.

Upon entering the palace where Marquis Liyang resided, Jiang Han and the others discovered that Marquis Liyang was taking this very seriously.

The entire courtyard was newly decorated, and many guests were invited. Lord Huangquan, Lord Lushan, Lord Tianya, and a group of Marquis-level powerhouses had all come.

Marquis Dongting and Marquis Tianhe were also inside, but Marquis Yanbei and Monarch Fengyi didn't appear, it was unknown whether they were still in the Beishang Realm.

Marquis Liyang's gray hair was combed neatly, and today he was even wearing a brand-new red robe, looking festive and kind.

Jiang Han led the group in, first greeting Marquis Liyang, Marquis Dongting, and Marquis Tianhe, and then bowing to Lord Huangquan and the others.

Today was a joyous day, and besides, the ones becoming disciples were Jiang Han's people, so everyone naturally gave face and said many kind words, making the atmosphere in the room very harmonious.

Many young masters and young ladies also came to the scene, presumably descendants of Marquis Tianhe, Marquis Dongting, Lord Huangquan, and others.

Many young masters' eyes lit up when they saw Wu Yao'er and Jiang Li, but after learning that Wu Yao'er seemed to have some kind of relationship with Jiang Han, everyone turned their attention to Jiang Li.

Jiang Li was nineteen years old, and her body had already developed, turning her into a little beauty.

Her features were already good-looking, especially her big eyes, which were as pure as water, without a trace of impurities. She belonged to the kind of girl-next-door type, pitiful and lovable.

Most importantly, she was Jiang Han's younger sister. If one could marry Jiang Li, they would become Jiang Han's brother-in-law, which would be equivalent to being tied to Jiang Han.

Jiang Han was now a rising star in the Beishang Realm, who didn't know that Marquis Yanbei valued him the most?

Jiang Han's name had even reached the heavens, and he would be conferred the title of Marquis as soon as his realm reached the ninth level of Peeping Dao.

There were also many beautiful young ladies in the room, it was unknown which family they were from, and several of them had decent realms, all at the eighth level of Peeping Dao.

They also looked at Jiang Han with affectionate eyes, and there was even a beautiful woman with fiery eyes, not concealing her goodwill towards Jiang Han at all…

"Liyang!"

After chatting for a while, Marquis Tianhe, who was impatient, said, "Is it almost time? Can we start the apprenticeship ceremony?"

"Not in a hurry!"

Marquis Liyang said with a smile, "Marquis Yanbei should be arriving soon, let's wait a little longer."

"Oh?"

Everyone was slightly surprised, they didn't expect Marquis Yanbei to come? Was it just a coincidence that he returned today? Or did he come specifically to attend the apprenticeship ceremony?

"Whoosh!"

After an incense stick of time, two figures flashed in and appeared outside the palace, it was Marquis Yanbei and Monarch Fengyi.

Marquis Liyang happily accepted them and bestowed Wu Yao'er and Jiang Li with a high-grade spiritual weapon each, a precious bow and a suit of armor.

Many people's eyes turned red with envy, Marquis Liyang was really generous, giving away two high-grade spiritual weapons.

Jiang Han didn't expect this either, it seemed that Marquis Liyang really regarded the two as his closed-door disciples, and had probably used more than half of his life's savings?

Wu Yao'er and Jiang Li offered tea to Marquis Liyang and addressed him as Master, the apprenticeship ceremony was considered complete.

Marquis Yanbei, Marquis Tianhe, and Marquis Dongting each bestowed some treasures, but they were not considered valuable, they were just gifts for attending the apprenticeship ceremony.

After some excitement, Marquis Yanbei turned his gaze to Jiang Han and said, "Jiang Han, this Marquis just came from North King City and secured a spot for you to go to the Hidden Realm. Prepare yourself well and depart in half a month."

"Wow ~"

The hall suddenly became noisy, and many Marquis-level powerhouses were envious. Lord Lushan and Lord Tianya congratulated Jiang Han one after another.

Jiang Han looked confused. What was there to congratulate about going to a secret realm to snatch refining materials?

He rubbed his nose awkwardly and said, "Marquis Yanbei, can I not go? How about giving the spot to someone else?"

"Hmph!"

Marquis Yanbei's face hardened, and he snorted coldly, saying, "So many people dream of this spot, you really don't appreciate kindness. This is a military order, there's no room for discussion!"

"Yes!"

Since it was a military order, Jiang Han didn't dare to say anything else. Marquis Yanbei glanced at Monarch Fengyi and Lord Huangquan and said, "This time we have three spots, Lord Huangquan, Monarch Fengyi, and Jiang Han, the three of you go together. This time, this Marquis only has one request for you, don't embarrass our Beishang Realm!"

Lord Huangquan and Monarch Fengyi stood up, and the two cupped their hands and said, "Understood, we will definitely live up to expectations and bring glory to the Beishang Realm."

Marquis Yanbei nodded slightly, he looked at Lord Huangquan and Monarch Fengyi and said, "You two take Jiang Han to the side hall to talk about the situation in the Hidden Realm, don't disturb our drinking."

"By the way… be low-key when you go to the Hidden Realm, don't conflict with the Ancestral Realm and the people of other realms!"

"Understood!"

Lord Huangquan and Monarch Fengyi nodded, then the two pulled Jiang Han to the side hall, while Marquis Yanbei and the others continued to drink and chat.

Arriving at the side hall, Jiang Han was still confused, he asked, "Doesn't the Hidden Realm only have some refining materials? Why does everyone value it so much?"

"What you said is also correct!"

Monarch Fengyi explained with a smile, "The Hidden Realm is most famous for producing refining materials, but do you know what level of spiritual weapons can be refined with the materials inside? High-grade spiritual weapons, even super-grade spiritual weapons!"

"Uh…"

Jiang Han was stunned, he seemed to understand a little, it seemed that the refining materials in the Hidden Realm were very precious, which was why everyone was fighting for them.

Lord Huangquan was still the same as before, with a dead face, without any emotional fluctuations, he added, "The most difficult thing in refining is the materials, high-grade spiritual weapons are actually not difficult to refine."

"Because powerhouses can engrave Dao runes into them, allowing the spiritual weapon to possess powerful attack, defense, and other abilities."

"The difficulty lies in the materials, because powerful Dao runes cannot be borne by ordinary materials."

"If there are enough materials, even Marquis Yanbei can refine dozens of high-grade spiritual weapons a year."

"The reason why high-grade spiritual weapons are so precious is because top-grade materials are hard to find, so… the Hidden Realm is so important!"

"Meteorite Iron, Scarlet Pattern Steel, Fangtian Stone!"

Monarch Fengyi said with a smile, "These are the three most top-grade divine materials in the Hidden Realm. No matter which divine material, if you can bring out three pieces, the North King said back then—you can exchange them for a super-grade spiritual weapon. If you can bring out nine pieces, he can give you three super-grade spiritual weapons!"

"Hiss ~"

Jiang Han gasped, high-grade spiritual weapons were already so strong, how strong would super-grade spiritual weapons be? It seemed that this Hidden Realm was worth going to.

"By the way!"

Jiang Han suddenly thought of something, he suddenly looked at Monarch Fengyi and asked, "Monarch Fengyi, if… I can get dozens of pieces of Meteorite Iron or something, do you think I can exchange them with the Phoenix Clan for a drop of Ancestral Phoenix Blood?"
