Yu Ya surrenders and receives Dan Gong's bow

  Chu Yun killed decisively, with a fierce and powerful momentum. With him as the vanguard, the four of them took advantage of the chaos to break through the encirclement. When they arrived at the shore, they directly boarded the sea boat.

  By the time the three generals of the Jia family came to their senses, they had sailed for dozens of miles and were already out of sight.

  "Hmm... Fortunately, young master, you made a decisive move and killed Jia Renhe. Taking advantage of everyone's shock, we broke through the encirclement. Otherwise, things would have gotten really troublesome." Yan Que said, exhaling a mouthful of turbid air.

  Jin Bi Han also patted his chest, took a deep breath and said: "Our strength is far inferior to that of the commander-level figures. If we slow down even one step, I'm afraid we'll be trapped."

  "Little friend, why be so modest? With the three of you having great demon strength, it's not much different from a great general." Master Yu Ya opened his eyes and leaned against the ship's railing to rest for a moment, he had already calmed down.

  Jin Bi Han slightly widened her eyes, somewhat unable to comprehend.

  Yan Que smiled and explained, "In our Star Group Islands, usually having 2-3 great demon warlords is enough to be called a Great General. The spiritual demon warlord is usually the island master's own. Unlike your Dunhuang Country, where only those with spiritual demon warlords can be called Great Generals."

  "So that's how it is." Jin Bi smiled with a hint of understanding.

  "So, Uncle Yu Ya, what are you planning to do from now on?" Chu Yun turned her head and asked suddenly.

  Yu Ya's face, which had been gloomy, suddenly lit up with a radiant glow. His eyes blazed as he declared, "I will become the greatest master of refining arms in the world and fulfill the dreams of the Zhong Qi brothers!"

  His tone was firm to the extreme, with a determination that would not rest until his goal was achieved. The Tianling Zhenxin Dan had restored him to his peak strength, and also made him decide to live on for Zhong Qi, to fulfill his bosom friend's lifelong dream.

  Taking a deep breath, Master Yu Ya continued: "Right. If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have been able to recover my peak state. It's not bad that I might still be in the dark. This is the reward I promised you."

  As he spoke, he handed over the Dingxing Bow, the remaining Tiangong Zhentian Dan, and the refined willow leaf dagger to Chu Yun.

  "This..." Chu Yun was stunned for a moment, took out a Tianling Zhenxin Dan and the Dingxing Bow from it. "The Tianling Zhenxin Dan is a pill that Zhong Qi specially refined for you, Uncle. I'll just take one and give it to the Academy. As for the Dingxing Bow, I'll keep it because of our previous agreement. The rest, I won't take. You can keep them, Uncle."

  "How can this be? Do you think Uncle Yu Ya is a man who doesn't keep his word? Dan Fang didn't find out, and only Dan Yao was used as compensation. If you don't accept it now, I'll get anxious!" Yu Ya's attitude was very firm.

  "Uncle, take a few more True Heart Pills to enhance your qualifications, it's also very beneficial for achieving your dreams." Chu Yun knew the benefits of Tianling True Heart Pill in his heart, but he had other intentions and refused to accept.

  The two parties stood facing each other, staring at each other with wide eyes, and wasted half a time.

  Yu Ya finally let out a deep sigh and compromised: "Alright, take two more elixirs. The same elixir, taken continuously, will have decreasing efficacy. If I eat too much it'll be a waste. Take two more, or else Uncle here will really flip out!"

  Chu Yun had no choice but to accept it.

  Tianling Zhenxin Dan, only 6 pills were refined. One pill has been swallowed by Yu Ya. Three pills belong to Chu Yun, and the remaining two pills are left in Yu Ya's hands.

  "There's one more thing I'd like to trouble you with," Yu Ya said suddenly. "I can no longer return to Zhēng Lóng Island, and in order to achieve my dream of becoming the world's number one alchemy master, if I had a powerful force to rely on, it would be twice as effective. Can I join your Shū Jiǎo Island?"

  Chu Yun was overjoyed when he heard this, and he was thinking about how to phrase it, persuading the great master of refining soldiers to join Shu Family Island. Unexpectedly, Yu Ya brought it up directly.

  "It's really too exciting. Honestly, I was just thinking that if Uncle could join us on Shu Island, it would be great!" Chu Yun's face lit up with joy.

  Jin Bi Han also had a face full of envy. A master like Yu Ya, even in Dunhuang Guo, would receive the courtesy and recruitment of national scholars.

  A top-quality demonic soldier can make the Jia family's power turn against them, and a master craftsman who can create top-quality demonic soldiers is absolutely more precious than the top-quality demonic soldier itself!

  The reason why the Drunken Snow Sword did not become a top-grade sword was not because Master Yu Ya was incapable, but rather that there were no top-grade materials among the heavenly treasures and earthly gems used. Yet, under such circumstances, Master Yu Ya managed to bring about a miraculous phenomenon of a top-grade demonic soldier being born into this world.

  Although there is an element of overperformance in it, Master Yu Ya's strength is absolutely unquestionable.

  "Well, I'll take my leave then and pay my respects to Master Shao." Yu Ya smiled and bowed deeply to Chu Yun.

  "Uncle Yu Ya, what are you doing? Just call me Chu Yun." Chu Yun said hastily.

  "Etiquette cannot be abandoned. Moreover, you deserve my respect!" Master Yu Ya gazed deeply at Chu Yun, his expression moved with emotion, "Firstly, you are young and accomplished, I couldn't compare to you when I was younger, it's worthy of admiration. Secondly, thanks to your help, the mystery was solved, and I learned the truth. Thirdly, during my most disheartened moments, only you and Zhong Qi comforted me, telling me not to give up. To be honest, although our time together has been short, I consider you a true friend despite our age difference."

  "Uncle..." Chu Yun was also deeply moved. He knew that with Yu Ya's skills, he would be a welcome guest wherever he went. But he chose to come to Shu Jia Island alone.

  Is Shujia Island powerful?

  Not strong.

  Famous outside, but shallow inside. Even as the leader of the sea salt market, its development time is too short. In terms of strength among the Star Islands, it only ranks at the peak of second-rate.

  However, Master Yu Ya chose Shu Jia Island alone. This was entirely due to Chu Yun's face.

  "Uncle is currently worried about building a ship. Our Shu family island is short of a master to preside over the training, if Uncle knew this good news, he would probably be so excited that he couldn't sleep." Chu Yun suddenly thought of this and burst out laughing loudly.

  "A man who abandons his own son and chooses an adopted one to inherit the family business, I'm also looking forward to it. Do you know why I get along with you? It's because I see a kind of warmth in you. As for shipbuilding, I'll take care of it myself. I won't guarantee top-notch warships, but mid-range ones are manageable." Master Yu Ya patted his chest and said.

  Warship, also a kind of demon soldier.

  Top-grade warships can cultivate to the level of spiritual monsters, extremely rare. Similar to the national islands of Dunhuang, there are only a few ships. Medium-sized warships are already flagship in the Star Archipelago, also very rare. First-class forces are hard to come by, priceless!

  Chu Yun felt a surge of joy from the bottom of his heart, with Yu Ya Dashi on board, he could completely guarantee the supply of warships. This instantly allowed Shu Jia Island to rank among the top in this aspect among the Star Islands.

  "By the way, there's one more thing I need to entrust you with." Master Yu Ya pointed at the Ding Xing Bow and said, "This is my masterpiece from my early years, a top-quality item that can be cultivated to the Spirit Beast stage. Now it has already reached the Great Demon level of cultivation. However, since the demonic soldier isn't a naturally occurring object but rather something man-made, even if it's an exceptional demonic soldier, there will still be some flaws."

  Chu Yun nodded, he knew this point.

  Drunken Snow Blade is like that, the longer you use it continuously, the sharper and heavier it becomes. The legendary Ruyi Stick can make a man's lower body suddenly large and small, changing every day. Sunflower Needle is even more direct, losing the ability to get out of bed, leaving one speechless.

  These demonic soldiers, being man-made things, all have defects. Unlike demonic beasts and demonic plants, which are naturally nurtured and have a natural aura that prevents them from randomly modifying their bodies and creating certain defects.

  "It's fine as long as you understand. The Dingxing Bow also has its drawbacks, the bowstring is made of Hansheng silk as the main material. The longer you use it, the colder air will erode your fingers. Mildly numb, severely frozen to death. You must be careful and pay attention when using it, don't freeze your fingers and cause lifelong disability." Master Yu Ya warned solemnly.

  "I see." Chu Yun nodded and remembered it in her heart. Suddenly, she thought of something, "Right, speaking of bows and arrows, Uncle, can you help me take a look at this broken arrow?"

  He took out the meteoric broken arrow found in the nest of the Black Crow King.

  "This is a broken meteor arrow, the arrow branch of the strongest elite archer team, Meteor Shooting Hands, from the Mong Yuan State back in the day. This is a specialized arrow branch designed for use with the Meteor Arrow Technique, capable of bringing out the full power of the Meteor Arrow Path." Master Yu Ya had identified its origin at a single glance.

  "Uncle, can you rely on this broken arrow and forge a perfect meteorite arrow?" Chu Yun cast an expectant glance.

  "Hmm, barely possible. With this broken arrow, we can replicate about 50%, but the Flowing Star Arrow Technique is impossible to replicate. Master Shōtō, you want to create a Flowing Star Arrow Elite Troop for the Mongol Empire? That's very difficult."

  Chu Yun felt strange and asked in return, "I can now imitate the Shooting Star Arrows, and the Book Institute's Scripture Pavilion also collects the Shooting Star Arrow Method. Why can't I create a Shooting Star Archer?"

  "The key is not in the Meteoric Arrow itself, but in the Meteoric Arrow's Taoist principles." Jin Bi Han suddenly spoke up and said.

  "Shooting Star Arrow Technique?"

  Jin Bi Han slowly shook his head: "Mastering the Flowing Star Bow technique, any arrow branch can produce a powerful attacking effect. The Flowing Star Arrow is just an auxiliary small magic soldier created by the Flowing Star Bow technique. The arrow branch is not the key point, the real key point is the Flowing Star Bow technique's Taoist principles."

  Jin Bi Han spoke eloquently. In the past, the country of Dunhuang had also studied the Mongol Empire's short-lived but brilliant archery team, the Flowing Star Arrows. They spent a huge amount of money, but ultimately gave up in frustration. Therefore, Princess Dunhuang was quite knowledgeable about this aspect.

  "Mastering the Meteoric Shot is easy to understand, but difficult to use. Many talented and gifted individuals, no matter how hard they try, cannot bring it out. On the other hand, some ordinary people who only awakened their spiritual light at the age of 40 or 50 can actually use the Meteoric Shot. There's a saying that they grasped the essence of the meteor. As for what this essence is, even those who possess it can't explain clearly."
