9 days later, Castle of Black Iron, Immortal Mountain, Sky Waterfall . . .

The silver dragon-like waterfall from the hillside of the main peak of the Immortal Mountain formed the most splendid scenery in Castle of Black Iron .

Zhang Tie named this waterfall as Sky Waterfall .

The water of the Sky Waterfall originated from the thawed snow . After flushing off the waterfall, the snow water converged into rivers and lakes . The moisture then evaporated and condensed into snow on the top of the Immortal Mountain . The snow froze and condensed into the ethereal cloud; after that, it thawed and flushed off the waterfall once again . . .

Castle of Black Iron had already formed a macrocyclic ecosphere .

The Sky Waterfall was surrounded by verdant woods, splendid scenery and fresh air . It became Zhang Tie's favorite cultivation site .

In the past 9 days, Zhang Tie sat down there for recovery every day .

At present, Zhang Tie was sitting on a huge, cyan rock being not far from the Sky Waterfall with crossed legs and closed eyes to recover quietly .

Zhang Tie remained still and silent; however, the King Roc Battle Qi which had recovered was rushing here and there in his body . Like an emperor, Zhang Tie was commanding thousands of soldiers and horses to cleanse the final threats and bandits in his body . The final threats were gradually driven away from his cells and entered his right hand's index finger, causing it to turn pitch-dark and bright .

After sitting there for almost 10 hours, Zhang Tie opened his shiny and clear eyes . He stretched out his right hand, releasing a black battle qi and hit onto a rock in the far . As the rock was smoking, it reduced to its half in a split second .

Zhang Tie let out a deep sigh as he watched his finger which had completely recovered its original color, 'What a powerful all-poisons battle qi!'

When he was fighting the demon general that day, he was invaded by the all-poisons battle qi of the demon general . In that case, he tried his best to suppress the all-poisons battle qi; however, he didn't completely clean them off . A few of all-poisons battle qi was still left in his body . Lately, as Zhang Tie gradually recovered and rehabilitated, he finally cleaned up this remaining threat .

Besides being very destructive, the demon general's all-poisons battle qi was capable of eroding other's body . It was very terrifying . If common black iron knights were severely wounded by the demon general like Zhang Tie, even if they could recover their wounds, they had to suffer a great loss so as to eliminate the remaining all-poisons battle qi in their body . By contrast, as Zhang Tie was cultivating an emperor-level secret skill, it was easy for him to eliminate all-poisons battle qi when he was in a good physical condition . In less than 1 day, the dignified emperor-level battle qi had already driven out the remaining all-poisons battle qi from Zhang Tie's body .

After cleaning up the all-poisons battle qi, Zhang Tie became reassured . Picking himself up from the rock, he moved his limbs for a short while . After that, he took a deep breath of the fresh air . Breathing the translucent, cool moisture in the air, Zhang Tie was spirited up all over .

Being aided by his medium-level recovery body and a lot of vials of all-purpose medicament, after consuming another vial of senior recovery medicament, Zhang Tie had completely recovered after 9 days .



Zhang Tie revealed a brilliant smile . Closely after that, he left off the cyan rock and walked towards the palace tree in the distance alongside the mountainous path .

Like how he named the Sky Waterfall, Zhang Tie named the palace tree as Savage Tree House, which sounded average and mischievous; however, it was very vivid . What was more was that this nickname felt warm, which, as a result, would reduce the spacious yet desolate atmosphere in the palace tree . Zhang Tie's initial intention was to make the palace tree the doomsday shelter for his family members . However, there were only Zhang Tie, Heller and his three servants inside it now . Of course, it felt too spacious . Therefore, Zhang Tie felt like a savage living inside it .

The earlier cabins felt a bit crowded; however, the current palace tree felt too desolate .

Zhang Tie thought, 'This might be humanity . People would never be satisfied . '

The moment Zhang Tie entered the palace, he had seen Heller walking towards him .

Heller was holding the space teleportation necklace of the demon general .

"Castle Lord, this space teleportation necklace has been renovated by Edward . It costs some mithril and a blue, golden gem which had been processed by an alchemist!"

After taking the necklace, Zhang Tie found that it had been completely different than its black look before . Even those who had seen that necklace before would not be able to identify it .

The major part of the former necklace was a diamond-shaped three-dimensional pendant . However, it became an angel with open wings now . Although Zhang Tie didn't have an eye for art, he could feel that the angel pendant was unusual . Being only as long as one's thumb, the angel's facial expression and plumes were vivid and sacred . What an amazing artwork! With hands cupping above her head, the angel cupped a top-quality brilliant blue, golden gem like cupping the sun .

The top-quality blue, golden gem was plundered from the warehouse of a Three-eye Association clan . Under the sunshine, it showed four brilliant stony flowers which had a similar effect with that of a cat's eye . It indicated that the gem's strength had been completely activated by the alchemist master .

After being activated by the alchemist master, the blue, golden gem would carry a natural ability to purify poisons in his body . Usually, a single top-quality blue, gold gem would be worth about 300,000 gold coins . However, if it was attached to this necklace, plus the artwork and the space teleportation attribute of this necklace, this necklace would be priceless .

Holding the necklace, Zhang Tie looked around it as he kept nodding, "Nice, nice!"

As he praised it, Zhang Tie directly put it on his neck .

"Castle Lord, you'd better check the items inside the necklace . When Edward processed it, he didn't take out the items from this necklace as he was afraid of destroying the space teleportation function of this equipment . Otherwise, he could have finished processing it for 6 days . "

Zhang Tie patted his forehead as he remembered that he indeed had not checked the items inside this equipment . He had not imagined that Edward worked 3 days more due to such a trivial negligence .

"Will space teleportation equipment be destroyed?" Zhang Tie asked Heller as he injected some spiritual energy into the equipment . He then poured all the items from the space onto the ground . Zhang Tie didn't have to worry about losing those items as they were in Castle of Black Iron, regardless of their values .



In a split second, a lot of items had been piled in front of Zhang Tie and Heller .

The comfortable golden luster of earth-element crystals tinged the entire palace golden .

The space in the necklace was about 27 cubic meters . As a small warehouse, it could hold many items .

Most of the items in the space were earth-element crystals, which almost occupied half of the space . A crystal wall as high as 3 m piled up in front of them .

"Even different universes and planes would be collapsed, not to mention a tiny space teleportation equipment . " Heller replied calmly . After that, he picked up one earth-element crystal and looked at it carefully, "Castle Lord, You will not worry about the supply of earth-element crystals for a long while!"

"There are 5879 earth-element crystals in total . I can light another 18 scales with them!" Zhang Tie became a bit thrilled as he watched those earth-element crystals . 'How rich was the demon general! Although it's a prize for common black iron knights, it could only help me make a bit progress . Emperor-level secret skill's chakra is a bottomless hole which could be barely filled . '

"Step by step . Better than nothing! Common black iron knights could not afford so many earth-element crystals even if they sold their underwear . " Heller joked .

This time, Zhang Tie made a great achievement . Heller also felt happy for Zhang Tie sincerely as if Zhang Tie's achievement was like that of his, which drove him extremely excited .

After hearing Heller's words, Zhang Tie burst out into laughter . He then stretched out his hand when an earth-element crystal flew off and landed on his hand lightly like a piece of the plume . Touching the earth-element crystal and sensing the familiar texture, Zhang Tie sighed satisfactorily .

The earth-element crystal then flew off Zhang Tie's hand and returned . Zhang Tie scanned over the remaining items and finally focused on a shield .

That was the very shield that the demon general held before the fight . It used the shield to defend the high-temperature magma . There were circles of decorative figures which looked like sunflowers on the surface of that shield, making it pretty special .

Compared to its brilliant look in the demon general's hand, this shield had recovered its original color now . It was lying silently on the ground like a common, excellent metal shield . The "sunflowers" surface was reflecting the luster of those earth-element crystals .

'When in close combat, the demon general didn't put away this shield in its body; instead, it put this shield into this space teleportation equipment . It seemed that the demon general intended to use it in emergencies . However, even if the demon general might not have imagined that it was its last time to put it in . '

Under Zhang Tie's gaze, that shield slowly flew off the ground and landed on Zhang Tie's hand .

Seriously, among all the weapons, Zhang Tie was most excel at using shields . When he cultivated in Hidden Dragon Island, he made progress in the highest efficiency on shield defense skill .

This shield weighed about 100 kg . Holding it, Zhang Tie didn't find it being any special .

'It looks common . I just wonder about its raw material . How could it play such a marvelous effect in the demon general's hand? Additionally, how could it integrate with the demon general's body?' Holding the shield, a lot of questions occurred to Zhang Tie's mind .

"How do I use it?" Zhang Tie asked Heller .

Zhang Tie knew that as long as his questions were above Heller's bottom line, Heller would always feel content to answer them .

"In this state, this shield could also work . Like common shields, it could be used to resist physical attacks . However, compared to common shields, it is irresistible . Even if a knight who had formed four chakras would not be able to destroy it!"

"Even if a knight who had formed four chakras would not be able to destroy it?" Zhang Tie became stunned . 'Four chakras? Does it mean that even knights who have formed the wind chakra would not be able to destroy it? Is it a silver secret item? How powerful it is!'

"Right!" Heller nodded, "After injecting your battle qi into it, you could activate its second state . You could have a try . In its second state, you could use it to resist your enemy in 360 degrees . Additionally, in this state, it could completely isolate spiritual attack, not to mention physical attack!"

Zhang Tie injected some battle qi into the shield . The shield then turned brilliant and released a golden luster . Together with Zhang Tie's battle qi, the golden luster tightly wrapped Zhang Tie like how a shell covered a yolk . The current state of the shield was as same as that the demon general used to defend the high-temperature magma surrounding it .

The second state of the shield was very powerful; however, it had to consume Zhang Tie's battle qi . Zhang Tie sensed that his battle qi could stand common black iron knight's uninterrupted dense attack with the shield in its second state for about 10 hours . If he faced a more powerful attack, he would consume more battle qi in the same period . The length of period that he could stand depended on how powerful was the opponent's attack . If his battle qi could not stand the attack, neither would the shield in its second state . Additionally, although his enemy could not hurt him with the shield in its second state, he could not use any battle skill, either . The protective cover formed by the shield could not even be penetrated through by Zhang Tie's spiritual energy . . .

The second state of this shield was indeed like an all-round irresistible iron tortoise . When in extreme situations, the second state of the shield would play a great role .

"When you injected your battle qi and spiritual energy into the shield at the same time, you could choose the third state of the shield . . . "

After hearing Heller's words, Zhang Tie tried to inject his battle qi and spiritual energy into the shield at the same time . Closely after that, the brilliant shield disappeared . Almost at the same time, Zhang Tie felt that the sun in the void of his Shrine Palace started to rotate slowly like how a planet revolved around the sun . Meanwhile, it kept releasing brilliant battle qi which seemed to smooth the shield . . .

Zhang Tie was really startled by the third state of the shield, 'How could my body hold such a shield whose diameter is about 0 . 5 m? My lower abdomen is not even as wide as 0 . 5 m . '

Heller understood what Zhang Tie was thinking about .

"It's nothing strange . I've told you before . If you really understand the universal rules, you will know that the so-called size of space and universe are meaningless . Size is just a ruler that humans use to recognize objects . However, rulers are always limited to the cognitive levels of humans' senses! Materials are just forms of energy . However, do you think that the size of energy could be measured by volume?"

Zhang Tie was stunned by Heller's question . After thinking about it for a short while, he moved the shield from his lower abdomen into his hand once again . This time, Zhang Tie finally sensed something abstruse .

The shield didn't appear in Zhang Tie's hand in the form of a material object in a split second; instead, after he injected his spiritual energy into it, the shield gradually turned into a material object . Additionally, the material object was not made of his spiritual energy, but a powerful quake and energy response . He realized that his spiritual energy was just a media . Through the quake and the energy response, Zhang Tie sharply sensed the rapid, surging and converging qi of the four elements in the elements realm .

In a split second, Zhang Tie felt that he was not holding a shield, but a weightless shield mold whose parameters and conditions had been fixed . When the shield mold appeared in his hand, the four elements in the elements realm were cast into a material object according to the preset parameters and conditions just like casting something in a mold with red, hot liquid steel . . .

Zhang Tie had visited those ironworks and die shops in Blackhot City; he knew it clearly how to cast those molds with red, hot liquid steel . Similarly, they radiated the same brilliance and heat; the difference was that ironworks and die shops were full of sparks of molten steel .

The process that he put the shield in his body was similar to that of casting molds with liquid steel .

'It turns out that silver secret item could exist both in material realm and elements realm; it could exist in both the material state and the non-material state . '

Zhang Tie understood the mystery of the silver secret item at once .

"Can Edward change the shape of this shield?" Zhang Tie asked Heller .

"Unless you determine to let this shield remain in its first state forever and not activate its second state or put it in your body; otherwise, it's out of Ewards's capability . Everything about this shield was preset . Only the one who produced it could change its look!" Heller shook his head .

'It seems that I cannot use this shield; otherwise, everybody would know that I'm the very Gorath . If so, I would have a great trouble and become the target of demons and Three-eye Association . ' Zhang Tie thought, 'It seems that this shield is exclusive to "Gorath" . . . '

As this shield had no name on its surface, neither did it have a name that could only be read by spiritual energy, Zhang Tie didn't know what to call it . However, according to Zhang Tie's habit, now that this shield could only appear in the hands of Gorath from then on, just call it "Gorath's shield" then . . .

After putting the Gorath's shield in his lower abdomen, Zhang Tie looked at the small tree in the far . The rich fruits on the small tree were greeting him . . .

At the sight of so many fruits, Zhang Tie felt pretty good, 'No matter what, even if there was no such a silver secret item, the space teleportation item or a single fruit on the small tree, I've already been satisfied by the great achievement . . . '

Zhang Tie had not dreamed that he could promote to the most powerful and mysterious profession among knights .

If not having read the book-notes of elders of Huaiyuan Palace and the various information about knights which were collected by Huaiyuan Palace, Zhang Tie didn't even know there was such a mysterious, powerful profession among knights at all . The number of knights who could promote to such a profession was even less than that of alchemists .

'All this were benefited from the spiritual strength and the strength of God . After eating so many fruits of brilliance, I finally realized a qualitative change from quantitative change . After making a breakthrough and radiating the brilliance of the strength of God, I finally enter another sacred gate . '

'Besides Castle of Black Iron, this profession will be my greatest trump card and dependence . '

Watching that resplendent fruit of brilliance on the small tree which contained all the spiritual energy of the 13 late Three-eye Association knights, Zhang Tie revealed a smile once again . It made Zhang Tie more excited than having promoted to a powerful, mysterious profession——he could make a big leapfrog on the road of this profession .
