There were only two things in the tattered box, a tattered boot, and a dirty umbrella.

The boots were long leather boots with strings, black on the outside, covered with lightning-like cracks, the soles were stained with yellowish mud, and half of them had fallen off, and a hole was exposed at the toe of the shoe, like an open mouth.

The umbrella is an oil-paper umbrella that can be folded and opened, and it is also black, flashing with a greasy luster, but fortunately, the umbrella bone and umbrella surface are complete, and compared with the boots next to it, it immediately becomes a boutique.

Xiao Qiang's expression was strange, this gift from Xuan Ling was too strange, so strange that he couldn't accept it.

Of course, this is not a prank, even if Xiao Qiang doesn't recognize the two things, he can see something extraordinary from under their tattered surface.

Ding Lanyi also doesn't think so, it's just that she is standing far away, and the picture of broken boots and broken umbrellas is too beautiful to look at.

Soon, Gu Zhantian, the owner of the refining workshop, came with two ancient elders, and before they could give Xiao a forced salute, they were attracted by the contents of the box, and Bai Huahua's three heads came up.

An elderly man's eyes widened, stretched out his trembling hands covered with age spots, trembled his tattered boots, leaned over to presbyopia, looked at it for a long time, and then excitedly shouted: "It's it, it's it!"

Gu Zhantian and the other old man also nodded at the same time, with an excited expression, just looking through their boots, forgetting that the head of the house was still being hung aside.

Xiao Qiang didn't mind, he looked at a few people with a smile, technology nerds are like this, things are more important than people at this time.

"Ahem, seniors, do you see what's coming?" After waiting for a long time, Ding Lanyi couldn't help but ask, all she wasted was the time she and Xiao Qiang were together, of course she minded.

Gu Zhantian then remembered that Xiao Qiang was still standing aside, and hurriedly confessed to the crime, and then said excitedly: "Xiao Qiang, this is an artifact, don't you recognize it?!"

"Artifact, how could I recognize it?" Xiao Qiang couldn't help but be moved, and then smiled bitterly.

Gu Zhantian didn't say it clearly, and said with a smile: "It's the old man who said it too quickly, this artifact originally had a pair, more than a thousand years ago, when the ancestor Gu Feiyang was alive, he had seen another one, so it was recorded in the family classics, you should guess who the owner of that boot is, right?"

A flash of inspiration flashed in Xiao Qiang's mind, he only felt that his scalp was numb, nodded, and said slowly: "Zu Chongyun!"

Gu Zhantian paused and said, "Yes, it is the ancestor of the Heavenly Tower, Ancestor Chongyun!"

Ding Lanyi finally heard something, looked at the broken boots, and said in shock: "In this way, this boot is the artifact stepping boots, and it is only a pair with Zu Chongyun?!"

Gu Zhantian nodded again: "Absolutely can't be wrong!"

More than a thousand years ago, Zu Chongyun was just an ordinary cultivator, but when his Spirit Yuan awakened, he inadvertently sensed the existence of a boot, so his Wind Attribute Spirit Yuan also became a boot.

However, this boot is not an ordinary boot, but an artifact left in the ancient ruins, it is with the mystery of the boots, Zu Chongyun comprehended the ability of teleportation, and his strength increased by leaps and bounds, and eventually became a generation of grandmasters who founded the sect.

It is also that boot that has allowed the ancestral family to be passed down for thousands of years, and the Ascending Heaven Tower has long been at the top of the top ten sects, becoming one of the most profound Taoist sects in the continent today.

Xiao Qiang and Ding Lanyi almost grew up listening to this legendary story, and when they were young, they fantasized countless times that they could have such a boot, but they didn't expect that such a boot appeared in front of their eyes now.

For a while, this tattered boot carried the memories of his childhood, covered with a layer of fairy tale colors, and Ding Lanyi didn't think it was broken.

Gu Zhantian looked at Xiao Qiang with earnestness: "Master, this sky-stepping boot, can you let us study it for a few days, you also know, after all, we have only seen pictures and text records, this is the first time we have seen the real thing, and it is also an artifact!"

The two ancient elders also looked at Xiao Qiang nervously and expectantly, and the longest one hugged his boots tightly, as if he was not going to let go.

The Gu family is a family of refining weapons that has been inherited for thousands of years, and the pursuit of various refining tools and sword-forging skills is almost immersed in the bones, and now that there is an artifact in front of them, how can they miss it?

Xiao Qiang smiled indifferently and nodded: "You can take it back for study, but you can't damage it, this seat wants it to be used again." ”

Xiao Qiang has already decided that this boot will eventually be given to the ancestral family.

Zu Qianhao's death always made him feel sorry, and he also thought about letting the ancestral family rebuild the Ascending Tower and start a sect, but he was rejected by the ancestral family.

They still regarded Wind Spirit Peak as their home, and an elder of the ancestral family, Zu Rong, took over the position of the peak master of Wind Spirit Peak.

Now it is just right, since the ancestral family and the sky-stepping boots have long been indissoluble and there is already a sky-stepping boot, let's make good things come together.

"Thank you, master!" Gu Zhantian and the three of them suddenly smiled, nodded again and again, and carefully put away the broken boots, but looked at the oil-paper umbrella in the box.

"This is definitely a defensive magic weapon, and there are energy fluctuations on the surface, which means that it can also be activated. The eldest Gu family held the umbrella, looked at it for a long time, suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly handed the umbrella to his companions.

The old man took out two thick classics from the storage space, and simply squatted directly on the ground, turning the pages one by one.

Finally, he turned to an ancient color page, quickly took the oil-paper umbrella, compared it for a long time, and finally nodded: "That's right, it's not wrong, this umbrella is a flowing parasol!"

"Parasol?" Xiao Qiang was surprised, not knowing what a flowing parasol was.

Gu Zhantian explained: "Master, the parasol is a magic weapon in ancient times, and it has a strong defensive ability, no less than the Linglong Pagoda in your hand. And the ability of the parasol is very unique, it is not the energy of the rebound attack, but after absorbing the energy, it will become larger and scatter outward, thus forming a defense again, because the light it emits is like the halo of the sun, so it is called a flowing parasol!"

Ding Lanyi was thoughtful, and suddenly asked, "The defensive power of the Flowing Yang Umbrella is comparable to that of the Linglong Pagoda, that is to say, it can withstand a divine tribulation?"

The old man who put away the classics nodded, and said in an affirmative tone: "Of course you can, but now the spirit of the flowing parasol is very weak, and it still needs some time to be nourished by the head of the sect before it can be revitalized!"

Xiao Qiang was shocked, this gift from Xuan Ling was a bit too heavy, obviously this flowing parasol was given to him for the purpose of resisting the divine calamity!
