Castle of Black Iron

Finding that Zhang Tie was silent, Mountain Lifting Hermit lowered his head unconsciously while his passionate look gradually turned to the original solemn look. At the same time, Mountain Lifting Hermit let out a sigh inside, "I’ve not imagined that this question could make you embarrassed, younger brother Cui, I’m too offensive!"

After hearing Mountain Lifting Hermit’s words, Zhang Tie knew what he was thinking about. Therefore, the moment Mountain Lifting Hermit finished his words, Zhang Tie had shaken his head as he watched Mountain Lifting Hermit sincerely and said, "Elder brother, you must have misunderstood me. When in Earth-elements Realm, you fought demons with me side by side. We’re David And Jonathan! I would never hide the facts in front of elder brother. I was just concerned that I might surprise you if I told you about my secrets!"

Zhang Tie replied in a secret way. Even though others were standing on his side, they could not know what Zhang Tie was talking about.

Bai Suxian threw a glance at Zhang Tie silently. Using his instinct, Bai Suxian had guessed what Zhang Tie was going to talk. Therefore, she wanted to remind Zhang Tie by throwing a glance at him. As a big secret, as long as it was leaked, it might cause great troubles.

Of course, Zhang Tie knew about Bai Suxian’s concern. Zhang Tie just comforted Bai Suxian by pinching her hand forcefully.

Mountain Lifting Hermit revealed a genial smile once again, "This elder brother has traveled so many places on the earth and below the earth these years, although I’m not very strong-willed, it’s difficult for the younger brother to surprise me!"

"Actually, I’m not Cui Li; I’m Zhang Tie, the very Zhang Tie who was wanted by Taixia Country. Since the first day I met you, I had been Zhang Tie. Cui Li is just my incarnation!"

"What?" Mountain Lifting Hermit sprung up at once with a "shocked" look. As he was shocked too much, he even forgot to use the secret way.

Looking at Zhang Tie’s helpless expression which meant "I’ve long known that you would behave like this", Mountain Lifting Hermit looked left and right before taking in a deep breath and sitting down with a solemn look.

"Young brother...Cui, is that true? Aren’t you kidding me?" Mountain Lifting Hermit asked seriously in a secret way once again.

"Yes, it’s true. I’m not kidding you. I am Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie is me!" Zhang Tie nodded.

"I’ve seen Zhang Tie’s order for arrest. Your look and figure are pretty different than Zhang Tie’s..."

"I’ve awakened an immortal ancestral bloodline. I named it body changing immortal bloodline. With this kind of bloodline, I could change my look and figure casually..." As Zhang Tie explained, he silently stretched his right hand in front of Mountain Lifting Hermit. Right under the gaze of Mountain Lifting Hermit, Zhang Tie’s right hand started to change.

It gradually turned older with more and more wrinkles and senile plaques like a withered twig. Closely after that, it slowly grew younger and became as elastic as kid’s skin. Finally, it recovered its original look of Cui Li’s hand. In the entire process, Zhang Tie’s hand also changed its color between yellow, black, white and brown like that of different human races’.

From a hole, one would know the overall situation. Although Zhang Tie didn’t change his whole body, the change on his hand was already shocking enough. Mountain Lifting Hermit realized that this was definitely a unique ability. No secret method could make this come true.

"Besides awakening body changing immortal bloodline, I’ve mastered many secret methods too. As long as there’s a complete secret method, I will be able to simulate its effect after forming chakras. I’ve got another secret method called Thousands of Beads Multitasking Sutra. As long as I have sufficient element crystals, I would be able to absorb element crystals at a speed 10 times greater than that of the others. Additionally, I’ve mastered some more secret methods. With these special abilities and secret methods, I entered Earth-elements Realm in the identity of Cui Li without leaving any loophole, turned the tide in hieron’s ruins and promoted to an earth knight in a short period..."

After Zhang Tie said these words, he told Mountain Lifting Hermit about his experience in the hieron’s ruins including how he killed Old Monster Qi; promoted to an earth knight and returned; encountered Bai Suxian, joined the large-scale battle between humans and demons in Tiewei Mountain; came to Northeast Military Region to open his Iron-Dragon Sect; came to Xuanyuan Hill until he met Mountain Lifting Hermit today. During this process, Zhang Tie also exposed the identity of Bai Suxian to Mountain Lifting Hermit.

Except for the trump cards of Castle of Black Iron, King Roc Sutra and divine dominator, Zhang Tie had been frank to Mountain Lifting Hermit to the utmost extent.

Even though Mountain Lifting Hermit was startled by Zhang Tie’s experiences and became speechless. Mountain Lifting Hermit had not imagined that Zhang Tie could have such amazing experiences and grasped so many shocking secret methods.

"I’ve not imagined that younger brother Zhang Tie could have such wonderful experiences!" Mountain Lifting Hermit let out a sigh, "But, younger brother, aren’t you afraid that I screw you with your secrets?"

"Given your dauntless spirit when you stood on my side just now, if the elder brother wants to screw me with these secrets, it must be because that I’ve offended you. If so, I deserve that!" Zhang Tie shrugged as he said like a single man, "Each one has his secrets. However, if I don’t even believe the elder brother, a person who could stand on my side at the risk of your life, who else could I believe? No matter how powerful one is, if he doesn’t even have such a close friend or be alert to everybody else, it would be meaningless even if he could promote to a heavenly knight or a sage! Don’t we hope that we could live a franker, more fearless and freer life one day by exerting our utmost efforts to climb up?"

"We indeed hope that we could live a franker, more fearless and freer life through constant cultivation!" Mountain Lifting Hermit repeated Zhang Tie’s words. After repeating it for a while, he let out a sigh heavily.

"Oh, elder brother, after you left the hieron’s ruins, where have you been? A few days ago, I asked about you in the Earth-elements Realm in vain!"

"After being screwed by Old Monster Qi’s five-poison bloody soul driller at that moment, I was severely wounded. After leaving the hieron’s ruins, I thought that the younger brother has sacrificed in the hieron’s ruins. Being very disappointed, I directly left the Earth-elements Realm and casually found a mountain in Military Province and entered a secluded cultivation and rehabilitation. Not until a few months ago did I completely recover my wounds. Closely after that, I contacted a friend in the Earth-elements Realm and was told that you were still alive and had returned to the earth’s surface. After hearing that there was a Treasures Meeting in the Gold and Power Market, I wanted to join the fun here and try my fortune; after that, I planned to find you in the Northeast Military Region!"

Mountain Lifting Hermit told Zhang Tie about his experiences over the past years too.

Five-poison bloody soul driller was really vicious and powerful. During these years, Mountain Lifting Hermit was almost in recuperation.

"Elder brother, what kind of fortune do you want to try in Gold and Power Market?"

Mountain Lifting Hermit replied with a bitter smile, "Honestly, I want to look for the same thing here as what I wanted to look for in the hieron’s ruins. As space-teleportation equipment is extremely precious, I could barely see it; however, in the treasures meeting, I might buy one. I’ve already received the news that someone would sell a space-teleportation equipment in this treasures meeting of Gold and Power Market!"

"Space-teleportation equipment?" Zhang Tie became dumbfounded.

"Younger brother, don’t laugh at me. Since I promoted to an earth knight, I had been desiring for a space-teleportation equipment. However, I always missed the opportunities because of bad lucks or lack of conditions. Therefore, this elder brother still does not have a space-teleportation equipment until now. As a result, I have too many inconveniences. During these years in the Earth-elements Realm, without a space-teleportation equipment, this elder brother missed many opportunities for exploring treasures. Without a space-teleportation equipment, I would even have a big problem in replenishment in some special places in the Earth-elements Realm and might lose my life in the worst scenario!"

Zhang Tie was not strange about space-teleportation equipment at all. He even felt that he was more and more tide up with space-teleportation equipment. Since he killed the demon general, he had been gaining space-teleportation equipment one after another. Therefore, he had almost been numb about that. However, Mountain Lifting Hermit’s words reminded Zhang Tie that space-teleportation equipment was still extremely precious for an earth knight who didn’t have any background in Taixia Country. Many knights would like to spend a lot on space-teleportation equipment.

’Should I directly present a space-teleportation equipment to Mountain Lifting Hermit?’ Zhang Tie considered about this question seriously. Zhang Tie never grudged a space-teleportation equipment as he could even share his secrets with Mountain Lifting Hermit. However, he knew that Mountain Lifting Hermit would never accept such a favor without any reason. Given his temperament, if Zhang Tie did that, Mountain Lifting Hermit might directly leave out of fury.

"This elder brother has been closer to the end of my life; however, I couldn’t even see through something like you. As I encountered younger brother by fortunate today, this elder brother has a presumptuous request, please promise me!" Mountain Lifting Hermit uttered when Zhang Tie was thinking about how to present a space-teleportation equipment to him.

"Elder brother, just go ahead. As long as I could do it, I would never refuse!" Zhang Tie said righteously.

"May I join Iron-Dragon Sect?"

After listening to Mountain Lifting Hermit’s words, Zhang Tie became a bit stunned. Closely after that, he almost jumped up cheerily.
