This shopkeeper had been avoiding the topic. He was most likely trying to use him as an excuse.
With the Huang family's power, it was impossible for them to not obtain the Five Elements Essence.
They only wanted the Gui Water Essence to speed up the growth of the spirit vein.
The Huang family might hold a grudge against him for such a small matter.
At most, they would threaten and bribe him. The next time he went out to sea, they would send someone to assassinate him. They wouldn't do it in the market.
Wang Daoyuan still had close to sixty thousand high-grade spirit stones. He didn't need them for his cultivation.
He could stay in the market for a long time in the future.
Therefore, he wasn't in any mortal danger for now.
However, the Scarlet Flame Sect and the Huang family were old enemies. How could he, a lone cultivator, get involved in the fight between the two forces?
It was like putting a bean between two millstones. If a bean was put in, it would come out as bean dregs.
He was that bean. He had nothing better to do. Why would he get involved in this matter?
He declined. "My ambition isn't here. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."
Then, he turned to leave.
The shopkeeper quickly said, "Since Wu Daoyou isn't willing to join us, you can be a guest elder of the Scarlet Flame Sect."
Wang Daoyuan didn't even think about it. "Shopkeeper, I appreciate your kindness."
Being a guest elder meant being tied to the Scarlet Flame Sect's warship.
No matter what the actual situation was, as long as he became a guest elder, he would be a member of the Scarlet Flame Sect in the eyes of the Huang family.
When the time came, the Huang family might start to mess with him in the market.
Would the Scarlet Flame Sect spend a lot of effort to protect him?
Whoever did something with risks and no benefits would be a fool.
The shopkeeper didn't try to dissuade him anymore. Wang Daoyuan walked out of the auction house and returned to his small courtyard.
He kept the Gui Water Essence in the space of the spirit pearl and placed it on the spirit vein crystal of the water attribute spirit vein.
After a hundred years in the space of the spirit pearl, it would probably merge into one.
He definitely couldn't go out to sea now. He planned to stay in his small courtyard and practice refining and alchemy.
Although the Three Treasures Tool Nurturing Technique was special, it was an extension of refining techniques. There were certain requirements for refining techniques.
Wang Daoyuan's Fourth Tier Middle Grade Refining Technique was really not enough.
The Cultivating Nascent Soul Pill was a Middle-Grade Tier-5 Medicinal Pill, and Wang Daoyuan's Alchemy level was still far from it.
Less than a day after returning to the small courtyard, Wang Daoyuan was forging a shield.
Someone came to visit. Wang Daoyuan checked with his divine sense and found that it was Li Chen and an early-stage Yuanying cultivator.
This guy looked a little like Young Master Huang. There was no doubt that the Huang family was here to cause trouble.
Wang Daoyuan used his Spiritual Sense to shut down the defensive array formation of the small courtyard, shouted "Come in", and then continued to forge the shield.
His side was full of clanging and clanging noises, and there was no way for them to talk. The two of them could only wait in the courtyard.
After an hour, Wang Daoyuan finished forging the shield.
He walked out of the Earth Fire Room and said with a smile, "Brother Li, and this is Daoyou Huang, what's the matter?"
Li Chen replied, "When you bought the Gui Water Essence at the auction house, the Huang family came to me and asked you to hand over the Gui Water Essence.
Daoyou Huang, I've said what I wanted to say. Can we go now? "
Wang Daoyuan said with a smile, "I've implicated Brother Li. I'm afraid I can't sail with Brother Li anymore."
The Huang family cultivator just nodded and Li Chen left the small courtyard.
This matter had nothing to do with him. In the end, it was Wang Daoyuan who implicated him.
It was reasonable to leave now, and Wang Daoyuan had nothing to say.
At this time, the Huang family cultivator said, "Wu Daoyou, you stole something from my Huang family. Shouldn't you return it?"
Wang Daoyuan asked back, "What did I steal from your Huang family? I don't even know where your Huang family's door is. "
"Wu Daoyou, don't play dumb. The Tenth Water Essence should belong to my Huang family. You took something you shouldn't have.
Hand it over now and my Huang family can be your backer in the future. I guarantee that no one will dare to bully you on Rare Treasures Island.
If you don't hand it over, although my Huang family is far inferior to the Seven Stars Alliance and Blood Shark, it's still easy for us to kill a rogue cultivator. "
These words made Wang Daoyuan angry. Last time, when he bought the Coral Tree at a low price, it wasn't necessary. It was also good to exchange it for spirit stones.
Losing a few spirit stones could avoid trouble, so it was also acceptable.
But this time, it was too much. The Tenth Water Essence was something he urgently needed. If the Huang family wanted to take it for free, how could there be such a good thing?
He flatly refused, "I bought this Tenth Water Essence from the Scarlet Flame Auction House. Is the Scarlet Flame Auction House opened by your Huang family?
This thing has never been in the hands of your Huang family. How did it become your Huang family's property?
I bought it from the auction fair and square. The highest bidder wins the auction. I'm just a rogue cultivator. In terms of financial resources, I can't compare with your Huang family.
You don't want to spend spirit stones to buy it, so you want me to hand it over for free? "
The Huang family cultivator's face was full of anger, but he still controlled his temper and said, "The protection of my Huang family is more valuable than a piece of Tenth Water Essence.
If you don't hand it over, I'm afraid Daoyou won't live long. "
Wang Daoyuan sneered, "The biggest danger on Rare Treasures Island is the Huang family. I'll be safe as long as you don't interfere.
So I didn't get anything and just gave the Huang family a piece of Tenth Water Essence.
There's nothing to talk about. Don't forget to close the door when you leave. "
The Huang family cultivator coldly snorted, "You want to go against my Huang family? I'm afraid you won't be able to stay on Rare Treasures Island."
After saying that, he slammed the door and left.
Wang Daoyuan closed the courtyard door and activated the formation. He continued to refine the shield in his hand.
This shield was refined with fourth-tier upper grade materials. He was also trying to refine a fourth-tier upper grade magic tool.
After spending half a day, he finished inscribing the tool pattern.
Then, he took out a fourth-tier lower grade crafting cauldron and placed it on the fire eye.
He placed the shield into the crafting cauldron and slowly nurtured it.
A fourth-tier upper grade magic tool would take at least a few months to nurture.
However, the crafting cauldron was relatively large and could nurture multiple magic tools at the same time.
After finishing the refinement, Wang Daoyuan meditated beside the fire and extracted the fire spirit energy for cultivation.
Three months later, the shield was completely nurtured.
After taking it out from the crafting cauldron, it emitted the spirit energy fluctuation of a fourth-tier upper grade magic tool.
With this, the refinement was considered a success.
Now, he could be considered a fourth-tier upper grade craftsman.
Cultivators who could survive on an outer sea island like Rare Treasures Island were at least at the late-stage of the Golden Core Realm.
There wasn't much of a market for fourth-tier middle grade magic tools.
With this fourth-tier upper grade magic tool, it would be relatively easy to earn spirit stones in the future.
However, he didn't show up in the past few months, and the Huang Family didn't come looking for trouble.
Wang Daoyuan put away the crafting cauldron and prepared to refine a fourth-tier upper grade pill.
At this moment, there was a slight change in the array formation in the courtyard.
He spread out his divine sense but didn't find anything. There wasn't even a bug near the courtyard.
The defensive array formation in the courtyard was very stable and wouldn't change for no reason. Someone definitely came in.
He immediately thought that an assassin might have broken in.
His identity wasn't exposed, and only the Huang Family wanted to deal with him. This should be the Huang Family sending an assassin to deal with him.
However, sending an assassin to cause trouble for him was completely displaying one's slight skill in front of an expert.
He was very experienced in dealing with assassins. Even Zhou Luan, the leader of the assassins, had been completely subdued.
Ordinary small tricks were like child's play in front of him.
The forces in the Sea Of Seven Stars changed very quickly. It was impossible for there to be an assassination force like Blood Shadow that had lasted for tens of thousands of years.
The cultivation of the assassins here was definitely higher, but in terms of assassination and concealment methods, they might not be comparable to Blood Shadow.
Wang Daoyuan used the Dragonification Technique. A layer of dragon scales appeared on his body, but there was no obvious change in his figure.
In this way, ordinary methods wouldn't be able to seriously injure him.
Then, he used the Tiger Soul Subduing Technique.
This technique originated from Yun Yi's Tiger Roar and had a very strong soul subduing effect.
Even if it couldn't cause a substantial threat to Yuanying, it was still very likely to expose her.
As expected, a tiger roar sounded, and a trace of obvious spirit energy fluctuation appeared in the courtyard.
