"Hehe!" Miao Yi laughed and said, "I have never met the Hall Master, so I am not qualified to comment."
Huo Lingxiao smiled.
Wu Menglan glared at him, and pressed Miao Yi again, "As a subordinate of Suppressing Second Hall, even if you have never met him, you should have felt Huo Lingxiao's tyranny. Tell me about it."
She clearly wanted Miao Yi to insult Huo Lingxiao on the spot, and see Huo Lingxiao embarrass himself.
Huo Lingxiao glanced at Miao Yi from the corner of his eyes.
Miao Yi continued to chuckle, "Sister Meng, I really have never met the Hall Master. It's not good for me to talk nonsense."
Wu Menglan raised her brows, "Brother Miao, don't be like this. Do you think we are outsiders?"
Miao Yi was not an idiot. He could scold someone at Qin Weiwei's level, but at Yang Qing's level, he had to be more tactful. Needless to say, someone at the Hall Master's level. He had no grudges with them, so why would he speak ill of them behind their backs? Did he provoke someone who could kill him with a single word?
He cursed in his heart, 'If he isn't an outsider, then who is he? This woman must be crazy, forcing a mere Steed Deputy like me to speak ill of the Hall Master. This is only the second time I've met Xiao Yizhu, and the first time I've met you. I don't know anything about the two of you. Is there a need for others to use against me? '
"The Hall Master is wise and mighty!" Miao Yi cupped his fists in the direction of Suppressing Second Hall. He would only flatter and not speak ill of her. He would rather offend Wu Menglan than that.
Huo Lingxiao's brows relaxed, and his lips curled into a smile.
Wu Menglan sneered, "Brother Miao, you have never met Huo Lingxiao. How do you know he is wise and mighty?"
Miao Yi smiled, "Those who can become Hall Master are naturally wise and mighty. When the day comes that I become Hall Master, others will also say that I am wise and mighty."
"You are wise, Little Brother. You will definitely have a bright future!" Huo Lingxiao gave him a thumbs up.
Wu Menglan's face was filled with anger, and was about to explode. Fortunately, Yan Xiu brought someone with delicious food, so she could only endure it for now.
A group of handmaidens entered the pavilion one after another, and arranged a table full of delicacies before taking their leave.
Yan Xiu greeted them as a Cave Master, and Huo Lingxiao and Wu Menglan only nodded slightly. He did not take Yan Xiu seriously at all, causing Yan Xiu to leave awkwardly.
Miao Yi also took out a few jars of fine wine from his storage ring and handed them over to Qian'Er and Xue'Er. The two ladies opened the jars and poured wine for the three of them. Naturally, he extended his hand to invite her to use it.
Wu Menglan's eyes flickered slightly when she smelled the wine's fragrance. She temporarily put her displeasure aside and took a sip before closing her eyes to savor it slowly.
Huo Lingxiao, who had finished his drink in one gulp, smiled and asked, "Meng Lan. I didn't lie to you, right? The wine here tastes pretty good, right? "
"Good wine! To be able to brew this wine, it must be someone who has been immersed in this field for a long time. I'm afraid that there must be spiritual herbs of a certain age in this wine. For a spiritual wine to be this expensive … "Wu Menglan looked at Miao Yi," Brother Miao, forgive me for being blunt, but does your East Arrival Cave have the means to brew this wine? "
Actually, he was questioning where Miao Yi got the ability to concoct this wine.
"Sister Meng is wise. It was indeed not made by me."
"May I know who brewed it? Can you introduce me?" Wu Menglan was instantly interested.
'Let's not talk about her.' Even Huo Lingxiao's eyes brightened. He didn't mind bringing such an expert brewer to his own Suppressing Second Hall. It would also save him, a Hall Master, from sneaking around here to beg for wine.
Miao Yi rubbed his nose, thinking, 'I've already killed everyone here. How am I going to introduce them?'
He could only smile bitterly and say, "I don't know who brewed it either. I accidentally found it in a cave and took it away."
"I see!" Wu Menglan nodded. Thinking about it, it made sense. No matter how useless a person who could brew this kind of spiritual wine was, it was unlikely that he would be acquainted with someone of Miao Yi's level.
The two Hall Masters believed Miao Yi's words.
The three of them raised their cups to toast from time to time. With such fine wine to liven things up, the atmosphere wasn't too bad. Qian'Er and Xue'Er carried the jars of wine and circled around the three of them, pouring wine for them.
Halfway through, Huo Lingxiao suddenly put down his cup and asked, "Little Brother. When I first met you in Suppressing Second Hall, I noticed that the spear artifact in your hand was very special. Can you show it to me? "
Something that could pique Huo Lingxiao's interest must be extraordinary. Wu Menglan stopped her cup and looked at him.
"This …" Miao Yi felt a little awkward. Letting someone else study his transcendent artifact? That didn't seem very appropriate, did it?
He was a little sick of Xiao Yizhu's request. A cultivator's transcendent artifact was usually equivalent to half their life. If someone with ill intentions saw through the transcendent artifact's strengths and weaknesses, it would be a hidden worry for him.
However, when he thought about it, his transcendent artifact wasn't actually that great. In the end, he nodded and took out the Inversed-Scales Spear from his storage ring and handed it over.
Huo Lingxiao held the spear in his hand and casually swung it. Immediately, the gentle roar of a dragon reverberated throughout the pavilion.
"Good spear!" Huo Lingxiao praised as he examined it. Before he could say anything else, Wu Menglan had already extended her hand to him. He smiled bitterly and handed it over to her.
Miao Yi was a little speechless. 'What are these two trying to do? This is my transcendent artifact. Shouldn't you first ask for my permission before passing it over to someone else? '
"Even though this spear artifact isn't that great, it has a unique craftsmanship. It's intricately crafted and refined. The person who refined this transcendent artifact had a high level of insight and extraordinary skills. It's definitely not something an ordinary artifact refiner could refine." As Wu Menglan flipped the Inversed-Scales Spear and admired it, she suddenly exclaimed in surprise when she saw the dragon head at the end of the spear. She raised her head and asked, "Brother Miao, where did you get this spear artifact from?"
"Uhh …" Miao Yi was even more speechless. Not only did she look at his things without his permission, she even asked about the origins of his things.
His relationship with these two wasn't so good that he wouldn't tell them anything. He pointed at the wine in his cup and said, "When I found this wine in the cave, this spear was there as well. I just happened to be lacking a suitable weapon, so I naturally wouldn't miss it."
Huo Lingxiao turned to Wu Menglan and asked, "Is there a problem?"
Wu Menglan extended the dragon head at the end of the spear in front of him. "Take a look at the hidden name of the craftsman."
Huo Lingxiao looked at the spot she pointed at, and sure enough, he found two small hidden characters. Women were really meticulous. He hadn't noticed it just now.
"Zi … Yang …" Huo Lingxiao read it aloud. He wouldn't have realized it if he hadn't looked at it carefully, but once he did, he couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. He lifted his head in surprise and said, "This is a transcendent artifact refined by Mister Zi Yang? No wonder he was able to refine a mere first grade transcendent artifact to such an intricate and rare level. "
Miao Yi had naturally noticed the two characters' Zi Yang 'a long time ago. Not long after Yao Ruoxian had refined this transcendent artifact, he had already noticed the two hidden characters. At the time, Yao Ruoxian said that it was unintentionally formed during the refining process. He didn't have much experience, so he was fooled by Yao Ruoxian just like that.
Now that he looked at the two of them, they didn't seem to be simple people. He couldn't help but ask, "Weren't these two characters unintentionally formed during the refining process? What does the hidden name of the craftsman mean? "
Huo Lingxiao and Wu Menglan exchanged glances. They realized that this person was still lacking in experience.
"The so-called hidden name of the craftsman refers to the craftsman who refines the transcendent artifact carving his or her own name into the transcendent artifact. Ordinary artifact refiners aren't worthy of hiding their names, because even if you put your name on it, no one would know who you are. As a result, there are many nameless individuals who, in order to sell the transcendent artifacts they refine for a good price, would often pass themselves off as a master teacher." Huo Lingxiao casually explained.
Miao Yi immediately asked, "I wonder if this spear artifact of mine is just a fake artifact?"
This question was very important to him. He might even be able to understand Yao Ruoxian's background.
Wu Menglan shook her head and said, "I don't think so. One small clue can reveal the general trend. It should be a genuine artifact from Mister Zi Yang's hands. Otherwise, someone with such a foundation in artifact refinement would carve their own name on it. Even though it's a first grade transcendent artifact, it wouldn't be a disgrace to their name. There's no need to add luster to someone else's reputation."
Miao Yi made up his mind and asked again, "Sister Meng, is this' Mister Zi Yang 'very famous?"
Qian'Er and Xue'Er secretly exchanged glances and pricked up their ears. The Inversed-Scales Spears in their hands were made by the same person as their master's. “
Wu Menglan returned the Inversed-Scales Spear in her hand to Miao Yi. A mere first grade transcendent artifact was nothing to her. She asked in return, "He almost became the successor Sect Master of the Exquisite Refinement Sect. Do you think he's famous?"
"Exquisite Refinement Sect? What do they do? "Miao Yi was confused.
Huo Lingxiao couldn't help but laugh, "Little Brother, you actually don't know about the number one artifact refinement sect in the world, the Exquisite Refinement Sect? It's so easy to use a treasure you picked up. Haha! "
"The number one artifact refinement sect in the world?" Miao Yi was stunned. "Where is it?"
Qian'Er and Xue'Er looked at each other.
Huo Lingxiao said, "It's not in the Celestial Nation. It's in Dao Sage Feng Beichen's Boundless Nation. The Celestial Sage Mu Fanjun tried to recruit the Exquisite Refinement Sect to the Celestial Nation, but she failed."
Wu Menglan nodded and said, "It's not just the Celestial Sage who tried to recruit them. Which of the Six Sages didn't? The reason why Feng Beichen kept the Exquisite Refinement Sect was because the Sect Master of the Exquisite Refinement Sect married Feng Beichen's disciple. With this relationship, how could an outsider move them?"
Miao Yi was amazed. The cultivation of these two might not be as high as his, but their experience and knowledge were not something he could compare to. He immediately raised his cup and toasted the two of them.
Putting down his cup, he asked, "Sister Meng, you said that this Mister Zi Yang almost became the successor Sect Master of the Exquisite Refinement Sect. What's going on?"
Wu Menglan narrowed her eyes and said, "You're a Horse Deputy of East Arrival Cave. Why are you so concerned about this?"
"I'm curious!" Miao Yi cupped his fists and said, "I picked up a transcendent artifact refined by him and used it, but I don't know his background. Isn't it a pity? I hope Sister Meng can enlighten me."
"I've only heard about it. I've never seen it with my own eyes."
"It's fine. I'm all ears." Miao Yi immediately waved his hand, gesturing for Xue'Er to quickly refill her cup.
Xue'Er immediately carried the wine jar and helped refill it.
As the saying goes, 'those who eat from others are softhearted'. For the sake of the fine wine, Wu Menglan pondered and said, "How can outsiders know the specifics? I only heard that the Sect Master of the Exquisite Refinement Sect has a daughter who is as beautiful as a goddess. She was born to the Dao Sage Feng Beichen's disciple. You should know that in the field of artifact refinement, a person is not judged by their cultivation, but by their artifact refinement skills. One day, the Sect Master of the Exquisite Refinement Sect announced a grand artifact refinement competition of the Exquisite Refinement Sect. The winner will be betrothed to the Sect Master's daughter. "
