355: Chapter 355 Warning

True Monarch Lu Zhixing stayed for a short while before departing.

"Junior Brother Lin, let's battle again next time."

Senior Sister Cui Mingxi said to Lin Ming.

She appeared very calm, showing no negative emotions; perhaps this was related to the Sword Dao she practiced.

"Then I look forward to the next time I exchange blows with you, Senior Sister."

Lin Ming nodded.

"I still need to verify the matter regarding the Liu Family," Cui Mingxi continued.

Even though her Revered Master had said as much,

Cui Mingxi still maintained her own principles when it came to her words.

Cui Mingxi still had her own principles.

"As you wish, Senior Sister."

Lin Ming nodded.

Lin Ming didn't mind this much.

During his days in Dongchao City, he had gained a more or less certain understanding of Senior Sister Cui Mingxi.

This was simply her style of doing things.

"Junior Sister Wei, thank you."

Lin Ming then looked toward the Wei sisters and spoke to Wei Zhaoxue.

Although the other party had interfered with his plans slightly, it had been done out of goodwill.

"Even without me, Senior Brother would not have come to harm," Wei Zhaoxue said.

Wei Zhaoxue said.

Her goal was simple: as long as she could befriend Lin Ming, that was enough.

Even if it was just leaving an impression on Lin Ming.

In the end, it was a good thing.

"Then we won't disturb Senior Brother any longer."

With that, Wei Zhaoxue left with Wei Zhaoyue.

"Sister, we're just leaving like that?"

After walking out of the City Patrol Bureau, Wei Zhaoyue looked at her sister with some confusion, wondering why they were leaving just like that.

"Don't think too much about it."

Wei Zhaoxue looked at her sister with a Face full of helplessness.

She knew her silly sister was thinking about their mother's instructions.

But she didn't have those kinds of thoughts.

Besides, such matters were not that simple.

...

Wanfu Chamber of Commerce

After several days of preparation, the Wanfu Chamber of Commerce had finished collecting various spiritual items and was just waiting for Lin Ming's arrival.

"We almost couldn't keep them," Vice President Cheng Zhou said.

Vice President Cheng Zhou said.

He hadn't expected the Sea Demon Python Clan to not even give Face to the Merfolk Clan.

If the experts of the Merfolk Clan hadn't arrived in time, the things they prepared would likely have been snatched by others.

President Fan Ling also had a solemn expression regarding this.

"President, what exactly did the Sea Demon Python Clan lose?" Vice President Cheng Zhou asked.

Vice President Cheng Zhou asked.

He felt that the Sea Demon Python Clan's movements this time were not that simple; there was likely a hidden story.

"This time, I'm afraid it's not that simple."

President Fan Ling shook his head.

The Merfolk Clan still maintained some guard against him.

After all, he was ultimately a human; even if he had taken a woman from the Merfolk Clan as his wife, that was an unchangeable fact.

Taking a woman from the Merfolk Clan was merely a symbol of their cooperation.

And it was under the premise of enormous benefits.

This time, however, the Merfolk Clan had rarely issued a warning to him.

It was also the first time.

It was clear that this disturbance was far less simple than it appeared on the surface.

"Tell Shen Yi to make some preparations."

President Fan Ling said.

Sometimes, they had to prepare for the worst-case scenario.

"What about the Council Elders?"

Vice President Cheng Zhou asked.

"The Council Elders, I will notify them," President Fan Ling nodded.

President Fan Ling nodded.

"President, Vice President, that Senior has arrived."

A manager walked in and said.

Very few people in the chamber knew of Lin Ming's existence—no more than ten people, including President Fan Ling and Vice President Cheng Zhou.

And these were all people they trusted to keep their mouths shut; otherwise, they wouldn't have been qualified to know.

"Senior."

The two of them immediately went to the reception room.

They saw Lin Ming sitting there, holding a cup of tea that emitted a refreshing fragrance.

"Is everything ready?"

Lin Ming asked.

"Yes, Senior."

President Fan Ling then took out three Storage Rings and placed them on the table.

"Before that, I have a question to ask you both."

Lin Ming said.

"Please ask, Senior. If this Junior knows, I will certainly tell you."

President Fan Ling nodded.

"What's going on with the Sea Race?"

Lin Ming asked.

Since he couldn't get an answer from True Monarch Lu Zhixing, he would try another place.

As one of the forces in Dongchao City with close ties to the Merfolk Clan, the Wanfu Chamber of Commerce should know quite a bit.

"Regarding this, we don't know much either."

President Fan Ling shook his head.

"The information the Merfolk Clan gave us was simply to be careful."

"If Senior wants to know more, you can ask True Monarch Lu."

It was precisely because he hadn't received the answer he wanted from True Monarch Lu Zhixing that he came here.

However, even the Wanfu Chamber of Commerce, which had close ties with the Merfolk Clan, could not get accurate information—only a warning. This showed that the matter was not simple.

"I see."

Lin Ming nodded slightly.

"Where is the Alchemy room?"

Lin Ming finished the tea in his hand and spoke.

Now it was time for business.

"Alchemy room?"

The two of them were stunned for a moment upon hearing this term.

"Senior, shouldn't you take these things back with you?"

Shouldn't these items be taken back for the people in his organization to refine?

Could it be that the Alchemist and Artifact Refiner were currently here?

"Take them? Why bother? I'll just refine them here."

Lin Ming said indifferently.

These things weren't difficult; they just required time.

Lin Ming didn't want to make things complicated and decided to just settle it here.

In any case, this was just one of his aliases; it wouldn't affect his true self.

"Senior, you are a Rank Seven Alchemist?"

President Fan Ling asked, somewhat in disbelief.

Vice President Cheng Zhou was equally skeptical.

"What? You don't believe me?"

Lin Ming asked back.

"No, this Junior is just a bit surprised."

President Fan Ling realized his slip and quickly tried to mend it.

"Fine, lead the way."

Lin Ming said.

To this, President Fan Ling led Lin Ming into the Alchemy room with a slightly apprehensive heart.

The refining process lasted for three days.

President Fan Ling and Vice President Cheng Zhou also stayed outside the Alchemy room for those three days.

They were afraid—afraid that this batch of spiritual materials would be a total loss, which would be a significant blow to them.

Until the door of the Alchemy room finally opened.

"Senior."

President Fan Ling asked.

What greeted them were two Storage Rings; one was tossed to President Fan Ling, and the other to Vice President Cheng Zhou.

"See for yourselves."

Lin Ming was too lazy to waste words.

Medicinal Pills.

Rank Six Medicinal Pills.

Rank Seven Medicinal Pills.

Bottle after bottle of Rank Six and Rank Seven Medicinal Pills were placed within the storage space.

President Fan Ling even took out several bottles to verify them one by one.

Indeed.

Moreover, the grade of these pills was not low.

Not a single pill was below High Grade.

The lowest were all High Grade.

This completely stunned President Fan Ling.

Of course, the surprise Lin Ming brought didn't stop there.

A large saber appeared in Vice President Cheng Zhou's hand.

Just looking at this saber gave one a feeling of incomparable sharpness.

"Rank Six Origin Weapon."

As a cultivator at the Kuhai Master level, Vice President Cheng Zhou could tell at a glance that this saber was a Rank Six Origin Weapon.

And within the Storage Ring, there was more than just this one saber.
