Level nine?
A level nine refiner?
Ma Mingyuan and Wu Hua were at a loss.
Really?
Is this a bit… unreal?
A hint of delight flashed across He Yangsun’s face.
I knew Master Han must be extraordinary. Indeed, he’s level nine, not just level seven!
Unlike Ma Mingyuan and Wu Hua, He Yangsun absolutely believed Han Muye.
He took the challenge letter that Han Muye had stamped with a spiritual mark, turned around, and headed to Pagoda City.
Pagoda City, Zhang Family Mansion.
Zhang Xuan and several family clan leaders sat around.
In front of them was the challenge letter for the artifact refining challenge.
“Everyone, He Yangsun says Chief Han is a level nine refining master. What should we do about this?” Zhang Xuan looked at the others with a grave expression.
The others looked at each other.
“Brother Zhang, do you believe it’s level nine?” a white-haired old man frowned and asked in a low voice.
Believe it?
I don’t believe it.
In a place like Pagoda City, reaching level seven was already the limit.
Level-nines left here long ago, going to other big cities..
What future was there here?
“l don’t believe that a level nine refiner will stay in Pagoda City.” Another middle-aged man in a black robe snorted.
The others nodded.
Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief and said, “l don’t believe it either, but I’d rather believe it than not.
“I’ve already conveyed the message to Yang Ting, the refining master. It’s up to him to decide.
“After all, the stakes this time are quite high.”
A moment later, a middle-aged man walked in.
He cupped his hands at everyone before bowing to Zhang Xuan.
“Patriarch, Refining Master Yang Ting said that since the challenge has been issued, the challenge cannot be changed.
“However, to be safe, he will send a secret letter to invite his teacher, Master Chen Juan, a ninth-level refiner, to Pagoda City.
“That’s why he asked us to postpone the challenge to 10 days later.”
Ten days later.
This was not a bad choice.
A relaxed smile appeared on everyone’s faces in the hall.
Initially, they thought that Artisan Yang would refuse the challenge, but unexpectedly, not only did he agree to the challenge, but he also wanted to invite his teacher, a ninth-level refining master, to Pagoda City.
With this arrangement, isn’t it foolproof?
No matter how one looked at it, the aristocratic families of Pagoda City were sure to emerge victorious this time.
“Ah, if it weren’t for Master Han and the He family’s determination to ruin our business in Pagoda City, we wouldn’t have ended up at odds with them…” A blue-robed elder sighed softly.
The others also shook their heads with complicated expressions.
What could they do?
Why did they all participate in the plot to kill He Ju, the head of the He family, back then?
Postponing the challenge for 10 days was not a big deal, but for the workshop, it meant that without enough Cloud Platform Gold, it would affect its operation.
Fortunately, on the evening of the third day, before the workshop’s materials were exhausted, a few experts from the Zheng family of Maple Forest City escorted a batch of supplies over.
Accompanying them was the Zheng family’s Miss Zheng Yuyan.
For the current Zheng family, knowing the background behind He Yangsun, Zheng Sheng personally arranged that all the operations of the Zheng family would revolve around the He family and the Jujin Trading Firm from now on.
Outsiders didn’t know the potential and strength of the Jujin Trading Firm and Master Han. But Zheng Sheng knew.
Before the experts of the Zheng family arrived at the He family, Zheng Sheng personally summoned Zheng Yuyan.
He handed a level three battle armor to her. “This is a level three armor. You’ll need it in the future.’
Being awarded a level three armor by the family’s elder made Zheng Yuanyan extremely happy.
“Thank you, Elder.” Zheng Yuanyan grasped the armor plate and then looked up at the elder.
The Elder couldn’t have given her such a precious item for no reason.
“Yuyan, do you know why I’m sending you to the He family?”
The elder’s voice rang out.
Why?
Zheng Yuyan naturally knew.
She was not a child.
Although she had a strong affection for He Yangsun, she knew better that this was a marriage alliance, a union of the interests of both families.
After returning from a trip to Pagoda City, the elder of the Zheng family tied all the directions of the Zheng family to the He family.
Zheng Yuyan naturally knew that she was going to Pagoda City to solidify her relationship with the He family.
Looking at Zheng Yuyan’s expression, Zheng Sheng said calmly, “Then do you know what to do?”
What to do?
A hint of confusion flickered on Zheng Yuyan’s face, followed by a blush of embarrassment.
Isn’t it just accompanying He Yangsun and spending more time with him?
“When you go to Pagoda City, you should spend more time with the He family’s matriarch. He Yangsun is filial, as long as you can please his mother, your position in the He family will be secure.
“Also, He Yangsun is destined for great things. If you want to accompany him further, you need to improve yourself as well.
“Otherwise, you won’t be worthy of him.”
There was a seriousness in Zheng Shengs voice and his face was solemn.
This made Zheng Yuyan shiver.
Behind her was the Zheng family, a sixth-level family clan. It was a large family clan in Maple Forest City, much stronger than the He family!
Why would the elder of her family say that she wasn’t worthy of He Yangsun?
“Yuyan, whether the Zheng family can rise or not depends on you,” the Elder said with great emphasis.
All the way, Zheng Yuyan felt uneasy.
It wasn’t until they arrived at Pagoda City and the powerhouses from the Zheng family went straight to the workshop that Zheng Yuanyan understood why the Elder of her family wanted to tie the Zheng family to the He family so tightly.
How could a small Pagoda City have tens of thousands of craftsmen in this continuous workshop?
Does the He family own such an industry?
Outsiders naturally did not know that this industry belonged to Han Muye. It was all under the name of the He family.
He Yangsun was surprised by Zheng Yuyan’s arrival, but he was also slightly pleased.
After all, he was a young man.
Madam He was also very happy when he brought Zheng Yuyan to see her. She gave Zheng Yuyan many gifts on the spot.
The materials sent by the Zheng family eased the tension in the workshop. The production of the Microscopic Eye increased.
Basic forging only required those craftsmen to work, while other refiners engraved spiritual patterns.
Those refiners all knew that this small Microscopic Eye was worth 3,000 origin coins. If they refined one themselves, they would be rewarded with at least 10 origin coins.
For such a light object, it would be easy to engrave a hundred spiritual patterns in a day!
In the past, these level one and two refiners only earned a few hundred origin coins a month.
Now, their daily income was like a dream.
In the blink of an eye, 10 days passed.
In the past 10 days, Han Muye had basically been researching refining techniques.
After Yu Changdao signed various contracts, he received a huge sum of nearly
300 million origin coins.
From now on, he would be able to earn a lot of money every day.
However, during these 10 days, he didn’t relax at all.
Han Muye arranged for the Five Elements Divine Furnace to teach Yu Changdao the art of refining.
According to what Han Muye said, Yu Changdao had just broken through to the seventh level recently, and he still had a long way to go in terms of refining artifacts.
Plus, suddenly gaining so much wealth made his mindset very unstable.
He needed to bury himself in study to prevent himself from being too emotionally affected, which could affect his state of mind and cultivation.
Indeed, in the past 10 days, Yu Changdao learned many artifact refining methods from the Five Elements Divine Furnace. His understanding of artifact refinement had also improved greatly.
The key was that during these 10 days of almost continuous forging, he rarely thought that he was already a person with a vast amount of wealth.
It was not until he came out of seclusion that Ma Mingyuan and Wu Hua sighed with emotion. He was a little stunned and then smiled wryly.
“l forgot, I’m already a rich man…
“l still thought I was the sixth-level refining master who lost everything.
“Turns out, I’m already at the seventh level and have so much wealth.”
These words were infuriating.
This time, Yu Changdao and the others followed Han Muye to Pagoda City to participate in the gambling match.
Many refiners who had free time also went to watch.
More than a hundred people went to watch the battle, led by old Madam He, Zheng Yuyan, and their entourages.
For a while, the crowd gathered until they reached the square in front of the main hall of the Alliance of Refining Masters.
The people in the city were even more curious and filled the square.
On the platform, Yang Ting glanced at Han Muye, then looked at Yu Changdao and the other two who followed Han Muye.
A relaxed smile appeared on his face as he casually said, “Three of you, have you considered my proposal from last time?”
“Today, if I defeat Chief Han here, will you follow me?”
