129: Chapter 129 Murong Ze

"All of this is thanks to you, sir."

Qin Baichuan spoke with a look of respect.

Qin Baichuan knew that everything he had now was bestowed upon him by the Lin Ming before him.

Without Lin Ming's help, he would probably still be suffering from the torture of the Poison of Eroding Yin, and he certainly wouldn't have had the chance to achieve a Breakthrough to the Shore Realm.

And the price he paid was merely some Origin Stones.

Although the amount of Origin Stones was indeed quite large, compared to what he had gained now, the original price was completely worth it.

"I only helped you a little."

Lin Ming smiled slightly and said.

"I wonder what brings you to Cangyuan City, sir? Is there anything my Qin Family can do to help you?"

Qin Baichuan asked.

Regarding this person, Qin Baichuan could be described as knowing absolutely nothing.

But what Qin Baichuan did know was that this was not someone he could afford to provoke; only by befriending him could he bring himself benefits—this was something Qin Baichuan had already experienced firsthand.

"There are indeed a few things I'd like you to look into for me."

Lin Ming said slowly.

...

Seven days passed in a flash.

Lin Ming and the others stayed in Cangyuan City for seven days. At the same time, because of the Wanfu Auction, they clearly noticed that the number of humans and demons in Cangyuan City was constantly increasing.

Conflicts between humans and humans, humans and demons, and demons and demons also became more frequent, but most of these incidents were suppressed by the City Lord's Mansion.

Duanqi Pavilion

An artifact pavilion opened by the Rank 6 Artifact Refiner, Master Murong.

Master Yun Hua arrived here, leading Lin Ming and the other.

Upon entering the Duanqi Pavilion, they saw various weapons from Rank 1 to Rank 4 hanging on the walls for people to choose from.

Master Yun Hua ignored these Origin Weapons and led Lin Ming and the other toward the rooms in the back.

"No unauthorized entry."

A burly middle-aged man blocked the path of the three.

"Do you have an appointment? No one is allowed to enter without one."

The man continued.

Behind them was Great Master Murong's Artifact Refining Room.

Great Master Murong did not like being disturbed at will, so he had established such a rule.

Master Yun Hua didn't waste any words; she directly threw a token to the middle-aged man.

"Please follow me."

After seeing the token, a hesitant expression appeared on the middle-aged man's face. A few seconds later, he led the two into the rooms in the back.

A scorching aura blew toward them.

Earth Fire?

Lin Ming sensed the aura of Earth Fire.

earth vein fire can be used by practitioners for cultivating fire techniques, refining Medicinal Pills, forging Origin Weapons, and a series of other purposes.

This Duanqi Pavilion should be built directly over an earth vein fire location.

Lin Ming could roughly guess Master Yun Hua's purpose for bringing them here.

Before long, the middle-aged man brought the three of them to the front of an Artifact Refining Room and knocked on the door.

"Revered Master, there are guests visiting."

"Didn't I say I won't see anyone?"

A slightly irritable voice came from inside the room.

"Master Murong, your explosive temper really hasn't changed a bit."

Master Yun Hua said coldly.

A few seconds later, the door opened, and a middle-aged man with a bare upper body walked out, looking at Master Yun Hua with a face full of surprise.

"You may leave."

Master Murong said to the man.

"Please come in."

After the man left, Master Murong spoke to the three.

The door was shut tight.

"Master Murong greets Old Ancestor Yun Hua."

Master Murong now wore a respectful expression as he spoke to Master Yun Hua.

Master Yun Hua reached out and took off her mask.

"These are my two Disciples. Forge a Rank 6 Origin Weapon for each of them."

Master Yun Hua didn't waste words and went straight to the point.

"No problem."

Master Murong nodded.

He owed her this, after all.

"What kind of Origin Weapon do you need? Any requirements?"

Master Murong then looked at Lin Ming and Su Lianxue.

"I want a sword, no other requirements."

Lin Ming said.

It was just a Rank 6 Origin Weapon; it was optional for him.

But this was his Revered Master's kindness, so he certainly couldn't refuse.

"I want a piece of Inner Armor."

Su Lianxue said after a moment of thought.

She didn't have much need for weapons; instead, she had a certain need for defensive Origin Weapons, so she chose Inner Armor.

"I understand."

Master Murong nodded.

"I need two months."

Refining a Rank 6 Origin Weapon was an extremely taxing task. Even for someone like him with a very high success rate, it would take two months to complete the refinement.

"No problem."

Master Yun Hua nodded.

"The two of you, go outside."

Master Yun Hua turned and said to Lin Ming and the other.

"Yes."

Lin Ming and Su Lianxue walked straight out.

"The Red Flood Dragon has begun to take action."

Master Murong's expression turned grave after Lin Ming and the other left.

"I know. Where is she now?"

Master Yun Hua asked coldly.

"I don't know. The Red Flood Dragon Clan has completely blocked all information. She could be in the city, or she could still be outside."

Master Murong said with a bitter expression.

Although he was indeed a Rank 6 Artifact Refiner, he was only a Rank 6 Artifact Refiner at the Bitter Sea Realm. Before the behemoth that was the Red Flood Dragon Clan, he was nothing at all.

This information was already the limit of what he could find out.

"Continue to gather information. I'm here."

Master Yun Hua said coldly.

Her words carried an unquestionable air of determination.

"Understood."

Master Murong's expression also became firm.

With Master Yun Hua's assurance, he felt more confident.

"If there's any news, find me at Renjian Shangsan."

Master Yun Hua said.

"I understand."

Master Murong replied.

Master Yun Hua put her mask back on and turned to walk out of the room.

"I will definitely protect her."

Master Murong said to himself alone in the room.

His expression became increasingly determined.

"Let's go."

Master Yun Hua led Lin Ming and the other away from the Duanqi Pavilion. Just as they stepped out of the Artifact Refining Room area, the middle-aged man brushed past them with a young man.

Sun Wei glanced at Lin Ming and the others, feeling a bit surprised. The Artifact Refining Room area of the Duanqi Pavilion was not a place just anyone could enter at will.

As the Young Master of the City Lord's Mansion, he only had the chance to step inside after obtaining a slot.

But he had never seen Lin Ming and the other two before. They probably weren't from Cangyuan City. Were they from some power outside of Cangyuan City?

Sun Wei didn't think too much about it. He only wanted his Rank 6 Origin Weapon. He had paid a great price to defeat that fellow Chen Yonghuai and secure the last slot for this year.

"Great Master Murong, I am Sun Wei from the City Lord's Mansion. I have obtained the final slot and request the Great Master to forge a Rank 6 Origin Weapon for me."
