The relationship between the Wang Clan and Blood Shadow was that someone had paid money to kill a member of the Wang Clan. Blood Shadow took the money but did not complete the task.
There was no conflict of interest in other aspects.
Although the Wang Clan's reward was still up, no one was willing to accept it.
After all, everyone knew that the Wang Clan's Foundation Establishment Cultivators were not easy to deal with.
Blood Shadow would not risk being discovered and send a Zifu Realm Cultivator to deal with the Wang Clan for a clan with no conflict of interest.
Of course, the prerequisite was that Blood Shadow's headquarters did not know what Wang Daoyuan had done.
Otherwise, they would have to send a Golden Core Cultivator to deal with him.
Zhou Luan was also not stupid enough to report Wang Daoyuan's matter to headquarters.
She handed a jade talisman to Wang Daoyuan and said, "I only want to kill my enemy and avenge my father. I have no interest in going against your Wang Clan.
We'll follow your plan. I'll go back and slowly arrange it.
When the two stewards under the black sable go out on a mission, I'll contact you again. This Message Talisman can be used within ten thousand miles. "
With that, she left on her sword and returned to Guiyan Market.
There was no point for Wang Daoyuan to continue staying here. His cooperation with Zhou Luan had already been decided.
His top priority now was to repair his Natal Magic Weapon.
The Xuanwu Shield was also at a disadvantage. It was heavily damaged in its first direct confrontation with a Zifu Realm Cultivator.
He rode the kite back to Guiyan Market and repaired his Natal Magic Weapon at the Wu Clan's Equipment Workshop.
The spirit vein of Guiyan Market was non-elemental. It was perfect for Wang Daoyuan.
When he returned to the crafting workshop, his clone Bai Sheng was still working diligently on the crafting work.
No one would come to the Equipment Workshop to buy Level 3 Magic Weapons. With Bai Sheng taking care of him, it was enough.
He cultivated in the cave residence in the backyard and repaired the Xuanwu Shield.
It had to be said that Zhou Luan's final move was too powerful. The Xuanwu Shield was severely damaged.
The Magic Weapon itself was fine. After all, it was made from Spirit Spring Pearls, which were between solid and liquid. As long as it was not destroyed instantly, it was easy to repair.
The Tool Inscriptions were the most severely damaged. One-third of the Tool Inscriptions drawn with Divine Consciousness had been destroyed.
It would take at least a month or two to repair these Tool Inscriptions.
In addition, the shield had been roasted by the flames and had lost a lot of its source energy.
The Origins within a Natal Dharmic Artifact determined its strength and grade.
The source of an artifact needed to be nourished with spiritual power and True Yuan in order to recover.
After staying in the weapon workshop for more than three months, he finally restored the Black Tortoise Shield to its original state.
There was also news from Scarlet Fox's side. She had already chosen a mission for Mystic Marten's subordinates. The next step was to lure those two stewards to carry out this mission.
She didn't reveal the details of the mission, and Wang Daoyuan couldn't be bothered to know what the mission was as long as it didn't delay him from refining his clone.
After contacting Crimsonfox, Wang Daoyuan originally wanted to continue nurturing his magic weapon, but an uninvited guest came.
It was not a stranger, but Bai Ying from the White Fox Tribe.
Wang Daoyuan had rented the weapon-refining workshop for more than 30 years. Back then, Bai Ying was at the third level of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Now, she was only at the fourth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
However, her appearance hadn't changed at all and she still looked like a young girl.
This wasn't surprising. The lifespan of a half-demon was between that of a human and a demon. As for how old they could live, it depended on their demon bloodline.
If the ancestors of the White Fox Tribe truly had the bloodline of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, it wouldn't be strange for Bai Ying to live for 500 to 600 years with her Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation.
30 years wasn't even a tenth of her lifespan.
In all aspects, half-demons were between humans and demons, be it in terms of lifespan or cultivation speed.
They could use Dharmic weapons and their intelligence was close to that of humans. There were also demons with strong physical bodies and special physical talents.
Of course, their flaws were obvious as well.
They weren't like demon beasts who could reach a certain cultivation realm just by developing their bloodline without any comprehension.
They weren't like human cultivators who had unlimited potential either.
Therefore, half-demons cultivated slower than humans and there was no guarantee of what realm they could reach.
Their perception was also much worse than that of humans, and their cultivation of the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation was a complete mess.
This time, Bai Ying sent over a wolf tooth that was more than two feet long that needed to be refined into a flying sword.
It wasn't the first time she sent over a wolf bone, so there was nothing strange about it.
This time, she even asked to meet Wang Daoyuan. This shop was the territory of the White Fox Tribe and he had been back for a few months. He definitely couldn't hide it from them.
Wang Daoyuan left the cave abode and went to the weapon refinement room. He asked, "Daoyou Bai, long time no see. Why are you looking for me?"
Bai Ying bowed and said, "It's been a long time. I didn't expect Wu Daoyou to be at the peak of Foundation Establishment Realm. I should call you Senior Wu from now on.
I wonder if your weapon refinement skills have reached the third level? "
Wang Daoyuan didn't refuse Bai Ying's respectful title. It was normal for a mid-stage Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator to call a peak Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator senior.
Wang Daoyuan smiled and said, "I was lucky to have made a small improvement in my weapon refinement skills a few years ago. Now, I can indeed refine inferior-grade third-level Dharmic weapons."
Bai Ying was overjoyed. Her fox ears trembled and she hurriedly closed the door of the weapon refinement workshop.
She took out a storage bag and bowed. "Senior Wu, I have two inferior-grade third-level materials here. I would like to ask you to help me refine flying swords.
As long as they can reach the standard of inferior-grade third-level flying swords, it'll be fine. If you can refine one of them, you'll be paid 10,000 spirit stones.
If you can refine two of them, I'm willing to buy the second flying sword for 30,000 spirit stones. "
Wang Daoyuan took the storage bag and opened it. His expression didn't change, but there was a storm in his heart.
Inside were two fangs of a wolf-type demonic beast that had just been pulled out.
Judging from the spiritual power fluctuations, it should be the fangs of an inferior-grade third-level demonic wolf and a few pieces of inferior-grade third-level metal materials.
He took out the fangs and looked at them carefully. The fangs were three feet long and there were vertical ridges on them.
The spaces between the ridges were like blood grooves.
A third-level demonic wolf with such fangs could only be a Bloodthirsty Ash Wolf.
It seemed that the White Fox Tribe had been fighting against the Bloodthirsty Ash Wolves all these years.
However, the Bloodthirsty Ash Wolves were a strong tribe among the demonic beasts and there should be more than one fourth-level demonic beast.
The White Fox Tribe only had a few Violet Palace Realm half-demons and not a single Golden Core.
Where did they get the guts to go against the Bloodthirsty Ash Wolves?
He pretended as if nothing had happened and said, "These two fangs are well-preserved and there's not much spiritual power loss. It won't be a problem to refine inferior-grade third-level flying swords. I'll take this job."
Bai Ying was overjoyed and thanked him again before leaving the weapon refinement workshop.
Wang Daoyuan handed the materials to Bai Sheng. Although he was an superior-grade second-level weapon refinement master and didn't have the ability to refine inferior-grade third-level flying swords, it wasn't a problem for him to handle the materials.
He returned to his cave abode and used his perception to scan Wu Yi and Lu Zong's memories to see if there was any information about the White Fox Tribe.
In the end, he found nothing. The two of them didn't know anything about the White Fox Tribe.
It wasn't a small matter that third-level demonic beasts had died in the war between the demonic beasts and half-demons.
Given Blood Shadow's intelligence, it was impossible for him to know nothing about such a huge matter. It was possible that he didn't have the authority to know such information.
Now that Zhou Luan knew that Wu Yi and Lu Zong were under his control, there was no need for him to go through the trouble and ask her directly.
Although Lu Zong was Zhou Luan's subordinate, he wasn't a direct descendant and it wasn't good for him to go to Zhou Luan's cave abode directly.
Now that Wu Yi was released from house arrest, he continued to be the fourth steward.
As for Wu Yi's disappearance for the past few years, Zhou Luan's explanation was that he was severely injured by bandits when he was out on a mission.
Wu Yi used to frequent Zhou Luan's cave abode and it wasn't too conspicuous to ask her about the situation.
