A Million Questions
"Guardian Lin!"
Looking at the person who had just arrived, Gu Yu Fan clasped his hands together.
In the past three years, Lin Xianyu had been the mainstay of the Transcending God Pavilion, and he had also stepped into the Transcending God Realm.
Without him, it would have been difficult for the Ethereal Pavilion to gain a foothold in the Ethereal Hall.
Thus, back then, the people of class nine were very respectful to him.
"Grandmaster Hong Chen, Mr. Zi Mu invites you in!"
Purple Wood?
Qi Ming and Gu Yufan were stunned when they heard Lin Xianyu's words.
They all knew who Zi Mu was. Thus, why would their Grandmaster Mu want to see Grandmaster Hongchen?
On the third floor of the Ethereal Pavilion, Wang Xinya was dressed in a purple miniskirt. Her upper body was perky, and her long, slender legs were exposed. They were long and slender, causing one's imagination to run wild.
"Good leg!"
Mu Yun muttered to herself as she judged in her heart.
"What did you say?"
"Ah? Oh, I was wondering why Grandmaster Hongchen and Liu Qing had such good eyesight to be able to judge that my low-grade Earthly Artifact was of superior quality. "
"Tsk!"
Upon hearing Mu Yun's reply, Wang Xinya clicked her tongue and said, "But I don't understand. Grandmaster Zi Mu, if we were to auction such a high-grade Earthly Artifact ourselves …"
"Hehe … What did Pavilion Master see just now?"
"I saw Mu Bai and Lu Chen …"
Wang Xinya suddenly nodded and said, "I understand!"
"Brilliant!"
"Haha … Thank you for your praise, Pavilion Master. I still have things to do, so I'll take my leave now!"
"To see Red Dust?"
"Of course!"
Wang Xinya frowned and said, "Mr. Zi Mu, are you trying to help Hongchen? Back then, this person was … "
"Help! Why didn't you help?! "
Mu Yun smiled and said, "One question, one hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones. If you don't want to ask, then don't ask."
With a faint smile, Mu Yun turned around and left.
Looking at Mu Yun's departing figure, Wang Xinya chuckled.
If not for Qi Ming's repeated confirmation, she would not have believed that Mister Zi Mu was an Earthly Blacksmith.
Even in a large sect like the Sacred Elixir Sect that had thousands of years of history, an Earthly Weaponsmith would at least be an Inner Sect Elder.
Moreover, Zi Mu seemed to be preparing to concoct pills …
She knew how to concoct pills and forge weapons. Furthermore, she possessed a mysterious flame and possessed terrifying strength. She was so similar to Mu Yun.
"If only you were him … how great would that be!"
Wang Xinya sighed as she watched Mu Yun leave.
On the third floor, in a secret room, Red Dust was on tenterhooks.
Today, he was going to meet an Earthly Blacksmith. An Earthly Blacksmith was a grandmaster who stood at the peak of the entire Southern Cloud Empire.
With a creak, the door opened.
"Hehe, Grandmaster Hongchen, it's an honor to meet you!" Mu Yun, who was dressed in purple, walked in and chuckled.
"This is …"
"He's the artificer of our Ethereal Pavilion, Mister Zi Mu, a Low-tier Earthly Blacksmith."
A Low Grade Earthly Smith? Him?
Hong Chen looked at Mu Yun in disbelief.
Such a young Low-tier Earthly Blacksmith, it was really …
"Grandmaster Hongchen, may I know why you're looking for me?" Mu Yun asked in a devilish voice.
"Cough cough … This Old Me saw Grandmaster's Low-tier Earthly Blacksmith and observed the contract inside. I discovered a few problems and would like to know how Grandmaster solved them. These problems are also the crux of the problem that has been bothering me."
"Bothering you?"
Mu Yun said politely, "I believe Grandmaster Hongchen has already found the crux of crafting an Earthly Blacksmith. I'm afraid that once you solve those problems, you'll solve the mystery and begin crafting Low-tier Earthly Blacksmith."
"That's right!"
Hong Chen said excitedly.
"Alright! Grandmaster Hongchen, please ask. One question, one million high-grade Spirit Stones! "
One million? High-grade Spirit Stones?
Qi Ming and Gu Yufan were stunned when they heard Mu Yun's answer.
At first, Mu Yun said one hundred thousand. How did it become one million in the blink of an eye?
"One million … Alright!"
Gritting his teeth, Grandmaster Worldly Dust agreed without hesitation.
One million high-grade Spirit Stones. As long as it could make him a Low-tier Earthly Blacksmith, ten million was worth it!
As a renowned Supreme-Tier Mystic Blacksmith in the Empire, Hong Chen had accumulated quite a lot of Spirit Stones.
"May I ask how old Grandmaster is this year?"
"First question, I'm not old this year. I'm twenty-three!"
What?
Hong Chen was stunned. This was the first question?
What surprised him even more was that Zi Mu was only twenty-three years old.
A twenty-three-year-old Low-tier Earthly Blacksmith. This was simply … inhuman!
"Second question!"
"Mister Zi Mu, may I ask why you seemed to have changed the trajectory of the Vibrating and Slow Bearing Contracts when you were crafting the three hundred and sixty-seventh contract inscription?"
"Because a treasured saber needs to be strong. However, if it's too strong, it will break easily. Lu Chen's requirement is to have three parts of murderous aura, which must be released slowly. Moreover …"
Mu Yun spoke leisurely, answering every question that Hong Chen asked fluently.
Gradually, one question after another was asked. Qi Ming kept taking notes by his side. Finally, Hong Chen heaved a sigh of relief.
"Qi Ming, do the math. Grandmaster Hongchen has asked a total of a few questions!"
"A total of thirty-six questions. If converted to high-grade Spirit Stones, it's thirty-six million!" Qi Ming chuckled.
What?
Hong Chen was completely dumbfounded. He had unknowingly asked thirty-six questions.
Thirty-six million high-grade Spirit Stones. This was practically his entire life's savings!
"How about this? I'll give Grandmaster Hong Chen a discount. Let's say it's eighteen million high-grade Spirit Stones."
Mu Yun smiled and turned to leave.
Answering questions like this was much easier than crafting Low-tier Earthly Blacksmiths. More than ten million high-grade Spirit Stones was simply a windfall.
Ever since the battle three years ago, Mu Yun had completely understood.
Hong Chen, Mo Qingtian, Zhang Zihao, and the others had only taken a fancy to his talent. They were not friends with him, so they would not help him when he was in trouble.
They were not friends, nor were they enemies.
This kind of person was the most suitable for making money.
If the Ethereal Pavilion wanted to expand, Spirit Stones were indispensable!
And now, this was just the beginning of Mu Yun's plan.
This time, he did not want to rely on anyone else. He relied on his most trusted strength.
Hence, he was not so naive as to hope that Leng Yue and Chen Yu would be deeply grateful to him when he subdued the Earth Emanations Hall. Only by holding them firmly in his hands would he be able to rely on his strength.
"Gu Clan, Lin Clan, Imperial Clan, Green Shadow Blood Sect, don't be anxious. Wait patiently. The moment I, Mu Yun, return to the Southern Cloud Empire, it is destined to become lively again.
"The three Clan Leaders of the Mu Clan have died in your hands, but I'm alive. I, Mu Yun, am alive. The Mu Clan is destined to rise again!"
Mu Yun did not have the time to look at the accounts of the Ethereal Pavilion. It was also not his turn to look at them. Wang Xinya had already done everything in an orderly manner.
They used the Ethereal Pavilion to recruit experts, sell divine weapons, elixirs, and purchase materials for refining elixirs and equipment. Everything required Spirit Stones to operate.
These few actions allowed the Ethereal Pavilion to gradually become able to cope with the current predicament.
Moreover, because of these two actions, the Sacred Elixir Pavilion's reputation gradually became bad. On the contrary, more and more warriors from the Ethereal Pavilion came out to do business.
At night, the bright moon hung in the sky.
"Tonight is destined to be a restless night!"
Looking up at the sky, Mu Yun sighed softly and dived into the night.
He clearly remembered the words that Mu Bai shouted at Lu Chen during the day.
"Lu Chen, since you took away my treasured saber today, I will definitely let you die without a burial place!"
Great!
Mu Yun was delighted. It was good to die without a burial place. However, Mu Bai did not need to do anything. He would help Mu Bai do it.
Green Shadow Blood Sect had a total of ten Hall Leaders stationed in the Southern Cloud Empire and one Honorable Envoy.
Each of the ten Hall Leaders was in charge of leading ten thousand people to guard the various regions of the Southern Cloud City.
Tonight, when Lu Chen returned to his residence, he was very happy.
A treasure worth five million high-grade spirit stones was obtained without risking anything. How could he not be happy?
As for Mu Bai, he was too lazy to care about him.
This was the Southern Cloud Empire, the territory of the Green Shadow Blood Sect. Even the three great clans did not dare to act rashly. The Sacred Elixir Pavilion was just a branch of the Sacred Elixir Sect in the Southern Cloud Empire.
If Mu Bai dared to come, he would definitely let his ten thousand elite soldiers kill him.
At night, sitting in front of the window and looking at the treasured saber in front of him, Lu Chen's eyes were shining.
Such a good saber should have a name.
"Blood Vein Saber!" Lu Chen said proudly, "It will be called Blood Vein Saber."
"Good name!"
Suddenly, a voice rang out from behind. Lu Chen wanted to open his mouth to speak, but a figure instantly restrained him.
Purple fire lotuses bloomed on his body.
"If you shout, I will let you live a life worse than death."
"Who are you? What do you want? "
Feeling the scorching heat of the fire, Lv Chen was terrified.
"If you want the treasured saber, I can give it to you."
"It's just a low-grade earth tool. I don't care about it!" Mu Yun said coldly, "Who am I? Don't you know? "
Arriving in front of Lu Chen, Mu Yun took off his robe and smiled, "Do you know who I am now?"
"Mu … Yun! You are not dead! "
"How can I die so easily? But you can't be sure."
Looking at the Blood Vein Saber on the table, Mu Yun smiled, "This saber is really good. When I was refining it, I was very satisfied."
"This saber was refined by you!"
Lu Chen was shocked, "You are not dead. You have been in the Divine Pavilion. No wonder, no wonder the Divine Pavilion has developed so quickly in the past three years."
"You are wrong!"
Mu Yun said, "I just came back recently. The growth of the Divine Pavilion in the past three years has nothing to do with me."
"Humph, you came here just for the treasured saber. Tell me, what do you want?"
"Straightforward, let me ask you. In the past year, did the Green Shadow Blood Sect catch any Divine Realm experts? Maybe you know his name — Mu Dingtian!"
"Mu Dingtian? He is not dead? "
Hearing Lu Chen's words, Mu Yun understood that her grandfather was not caught by the Green Shadow Blood Sect.
Then where did her grandfather go?
"Humph, I don't know about Mu Dingtian, but I know that I will die tonight. But you can't escape, Mu Yun. As long as you are alive, the Honorable Envoy will find you and kill you. The Honorable Envoy is extremely powerful. You don't understand his horror."
"Oh? Then, thank you for your reminder! "
Lu Chen no longer had any value. Mu Yun did not hold back and killed her with a single slash.
