Where did Neo Hou & He Yu reunite?
Mr. Li along with Dongjun and Yue Yao visit Luo Sheng, the Military Deity. He is an old friend of Mr. Li and works as a swordsmith. He requests him to make a blade for Dongjun. But for some reason, he is not fond of the latter and hence he turns down the request. It was only after, Mr. Li offers him a broach that belonged to someone dear to Luo Sheng, that he comes around.
When asked why Dongjun wants a blade when he already possesses a celestial level sword, Mr. Li reveals that he plans to teach him the double handed sword-blade technique. Luo Sheng asks them to give him three days to prepare the sword as he is already working on a blade that needs final forging.
