Several children did not understand the Four Sacred Valleys, but Liu Yongmin, who was standing nearby, knew the great name of the Four Sacred Valleys. It had been a secret for hundreds of years, and countless people had tried to uncover its mysteries, yet in the end, they either never entered or never came out. The Four Sacred Valleys had become a mysterious area in Knight's Domain 6, and today they unexpectedly entered so easily.
Looking around, the Four Sacred Valleys revealed a vast plain, at least ten times larger than where Liu Yong'an trained his private soldiers. Inside the Four Sacred Valleys, there were five houses. Liu Guanfeng curiously asked Qinglong, "Master, besides you and the other three masters, are there any other people living in the Four Sacred Valleys?"
"There's one more. What's wrong with that?"
"Nothing much, but who is the other one? You’ve never told me about them."
Qinglong laughed heartily, "You'll naturally meet the other one; however, I can't say when you'll see me."
"Oh," Liu Guanfeng seemed unsatisfied with Qinglong's answer, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Qinglong then turned to Xuanwu and said, "Third Brother, make a few rooms for these people; otherwise, there won't be enough space."
"Sure thing." After saying this, Xuanwu mumbled something to the empty ground, and in no time at all, five stone houses suddenly emerged from the ground. Liu Guanfeng and the others were instantly petrified. What was going on? How did five houses suddenly appear?
Liu Guanfeng was the first to react. While others were confused, he understood very well who the people in front of him were; they were the Four Sacred Beasts, each holding significant status in mythology. Creating a few houses was no challenge for them.
Liu Guanfeng pulled the others who were still in shock back to reality. Iron Bull woke up but still couldn't close his mouth: "Third Brother, this is too amazing! Did they build these houses underground and then use mechanisms to push them up?"
Liu Guanfeng nodded, "That's right; you have quite an insight. You should consider writing fairy tales; they might sell really well."
Qinglong smiled at Liu Guanfeng and the others and said, "Now that we have houses, you all should hurry and find your own."
Liu Guanfeng walked into the room on the far right with his luggage, while several members of Copper Bull found their own rooms as well. After settling their belongings, they returned to the open area. Liu Guanfeng approached Qinglong and asked, "Master, is there anything else that needs to be done?"
"Nothing much. You all should go back and rest for a bit. You've been busy traveling these past few days; catch up on some sleep. We can perform the apprenticeship ceremony tonight."
"Thank you for your concern, Master. I will head back now."
"Go ahead."
After saying this, Liu Guanfeng and the others from Copper Bull returned to their rooms to catch up on sleep, as they hadn't had a proper rest during their hurried journey. Once back in their rooms, they quickly fell asleep.
When Liu Guanfeng opened his eyes again, it was already night. The bright moon hung in the sky, making for a beautiful evening. Liu Guanfeng took a few greedy breaths of the fresh air; such a feeling was hard to come by in his previous life.
As Liu Guanfeng stepped outside, he noticed Liu Yongmin and the others were already awake and cooking food by the campfire. Upon hearing the noise, Liu Yongmin turned around and smiled at Liu Guanfeng, saying, "Xiaofeng, you're awake."
Liu Guanfeng nodded, "I think I overslept a bit."
"It's fine; the food will take a while to cook anyway. You should wash up first."
Liu Guanfeng went to the small well nearby and fetched some water to wash up briefly. Just as he finished washing, Qinglong emerged from the first room and said, "Xiaofeng, you're awake just in time; your White Tiger Master has just returned. You can go in now to pay your respects."
"Yes, Master." After drying his face, Liu Guanfeng walked into the first room where Qinglong was.
Seeing Liu Guanfeng enter the room, Bao Rui and the other four who were helping with the food couldn't help but put down their work and slowly approached the first room to see how Liu Guanfeng would pay his respects.
Liu Guanfeng entered the room and saw four chairs arranged in the living area with a table in the center. Two chairs were placed on either side of the table. The sight of the four chairs lined up gave Liu Guanfeng a feeling of stepping into a bandit lair. Sitting at the center were three men and one woman, resembling ancient mountain bandits. On the table were four teacups.
Liu Guanfeng walked to the center and knelt on the ground, saying, "Master, please accept my bow." He then respectfully bowed three times to the four people seated. After that, Liu Guanfeng stood up and walked to the table, picked up a teacup, and approached Qinglong. "Master, please have some tea." Qinglong nodded and took the teacup, sipping from it.
Next, Liu Guanfeng picked up a second teacup and approached a person he had never seen before. This person had a head and beard that were black and white. Without needing to ask, it was clear this was Second Master Baihu. Liu Guanfeng raised the teacup in front of him, saying, "Please have some tea, Second Master." Baihu also took the teacup and drank from it, followed by Xuanwu and Zhuque in turn.
Seeing that all the masters had drunk their tea, Liu Guanfeng stood upright in front of them. Baihu looked at his disciple with satisfaction. "Xiaofeng, go ahead and tell me what you want. As for me, I may not have much else, but I do have some martial skills. What type of weapon techniques do you want to learn?"
Liu Guanfeng had thought about this long ago. When he asked Qinglong to teach him martial arts, Qinglong had mentioned that Baihu was very skilled in martial arts and proficient with all eighteen weapons. So Liu Guanfeng immediately replied, "I want to learn the techniques of the halberd."
Baihu nodded. "Good choice. I happen to have a set of halberd techniques; do you want to learn it?"
Liu Guanfeng nodded eagerly. "Yes, yes! Second Master, please teach me!"
Baihu waved his hand. "Since you already want to learn a long weapon, don’t you want to learn some short weapon techniques as well?"
"Of course I do."
"What kind of short weapon do you want to learn?"
"I want to learn Twin Halberds."
Upon hearing Liu Guanfeng's desire to learn Twin Halberds, Baihu suddenly burst into laughter, which made Liu Guanfeng feel uneasy: What's wrong with my Second Master? Is he having a fit?
"Alright, disciple, it's good to learn a complete set of skills. Very well."
Liu Guanfeng cautiously asked, "Second Master, did I say something wrong?"
"Not at all, I'm just happy. I recently developed my own halberd technique. I didn't expect you to want to learn it right away. It seems like fate wants you to learn this technique."
Hearing this, Liu Guanfeng felt a surge of joy in his heart. "Second Master, what is the name of your halberd technique?"
"My halberd technique consists of one hundred and eight forms. I named it Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends Halberd. The first thirty-six forms are for long weapons, while the remaining seventy-two forms are for short weapons using Twin Halberds."
Liu Guanfeng stood there in a daze: could there really be such a coincidence?
Scratching his head, Liu Guanfeng said, "Then please teach me quickly, Second Master."
Bai Hu waved his hand. "It's too late today; let's wait until tomorrow to teach you. Also, I see that your strength isn't quite enough right now, so it's not suitable for you to learn the halberd technique yet. I'll teach you the moves first, and when your strength increases a bit more, you can use weapons. As for the weapon..." Bai Hu didn't continue but pointed with his mouth at Xuanwu sitting nearby.
Liu Guanfeng immediately understood and walked over to Xuanwu's side. "Third Master, Second Master just said he would teach Disciple the halberd technique, but Disciple doesn't have a suitable weapon yet."
Xuanwu slapped his bald head with his hand. "I say, Old Two, that's not very considerate of you. Using me to do you a favor. Come here, good disciple; I will definitely prepare a weapon for you. However, before I prepare your weapon, you need to forge a practice weapon yourself. I want to teach you my blacksmithing skills."
Liu Guanfeng asked in confusion, "Third Master, why do we need to learn blacksmithing skills?"
"Silly disciple, your Second Master just said your strength isn't enough yet, so it's even more important for you to learn blacksmithing from me. This way, your strength will increase faster."
Qinglong chimed in with a smile, "Feng'er, just nod quickly. Do you know how many people on the entire Knight Continent want to learn blacksmithing from your Xuanwu Master? The renowned Divine Blacksmith Xiang Sheng, Huang Sanlang, and the current President of the Blacksmith Guild Qifeng Ge have all received guidance from your Xuanwu Master."
Liu Guanfeng felt as if he were hearing something extraordinary. Although he wasn't a blacksmith himself, Xiang Sheng, Huang Sanlang, and Qifeng Ge were all prominent figures. For knights, having a suitable weapon and armor was everyone's dream. A good weapon could significantly increase one's attack power, while durable armor was an essential tool for survival. Therefore, Liu Guanfeng was quite familiar with these names.
Seeing Liu Guanfeng standing still, Qinglong dropped another bombshell: "Feng'er, do you know Ozhizi?"
Liu Guanfeng nodded, "Ozhizi was a master blacksmith during the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period."
Qinglong smiled slightly, "That Ozhizi can also be considered a disciple of Xuanwu Master."
Hearing this, if Liu Guanfeng still didn't want to learn, it would mean his head was stuck in the door. He immediately put on a flattering smile, "Xuanwu Master, when will you start teaching your disciples how to forge?"
Xuanwu laughed heartily, "My dear disciple can't wait any longer? Let's wait until tomorrow. In the morning, you will learn spear techniques from your White Tiger Master, and in the afternoon, come to me to learn blacksmithing."
"Disciple obeys."
After saying this, Liu Guanfeng cheerfully approached Zhuque, "Vermilion Bird Master, do you have anything good for Disciple?"
Zhuque smiled slightly, "Don't rush, my disciple. I will have good things for you, but your body isn't ready yet. When you meet the requirements, I will definitely give them to you. For now, here's something for self-defense." With that, Zhuque took out two small porcelain bottles from her bosom.
Liu Guanfeng took the small porcelain bottles and looked at Zhuque, "Vermilion Bird Master, what is inside these two small bottles?"
"The white bottle contains medicine for cuts; applying it to the wound will show immediate effect. The blue bottle contains medicine for internal injuries; just taking one pill will heal you instantly, no matter how severe the internal injury is."
Liu Guanfeng thought this was great stuff and immediately tucked the two porcelain bottles away close to him while repeatedly saying, "Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!"
