Eleventh Crane had thought about many things. The fortuitous event hidden in the mysterious jade slit ring might be a martial art manual, a hidden quest, or a divine weapon, but he had been unable to find any clues about it. Even when Happy pointed it out, he still could not get involved in it. He did not understand the true meaning behind it, but Eleventh Crane knew the value of fourth-echelon equipment very well.
Once Happy mentioned it, Eleventh Crane agreed to it without even thinking. He said that it would be best if it was a weapon or armor.
Recently, the grade one equipment created by the players had been released one after another. Even though they did not have any innate attributes, their defenses were generally high, and they surpassed normal grade one masterpieces. Hence, many players still took a liking to them.
Happy did not reply immediately. He sent a messenger pigeon to Thunderous Battle and asked him to make a list so that Eleventh Crane could choose slowly on his own. He took the jade slit ring and walked into Murong Clan calmly.
Whirlwind Young Li and the others surrounded Eleventh Crane in envy.
In the current stage of World of Martial Arts, fourth-echelon equipment was the symbol of a top-class player becoming a top-class player!
"Old Crane! You must treat us this time! "
"Hahahaha! Of course!" Eleventh Crane laughed so much that he could not close his mouth. He wrapped his fist in his palm behind him.
Once he entered Murong Mansion, he was led to the main hall of Murong Mansion by Uncle Rong!
Happy quickly noticed that Uncle Rong's mood was different from before. The entire Murong Clan seemed to be enveloped in a solemn atmosphere. What shocked him even more was that the main hall, which was the area that only the internal members (NPCs) of Murong Clan could enter freely, was now open to many Murong Clan disciples. Quite a number of elegant men and women walked in and out of the main hall one after another. When they saw Uncle Rong personally leading people in, they could not help but cast them a few glances.
"Uncle Rong, did something major happen in the mansion?" Happy could not suppress the questions in his heart.
Uncle Rong answered with a grave tone,
"The Patriarch has already instructed me to bring you to see him as soon as you return. As for the rest, you will naturally know when you see the Patriarch. The Young Lady will also be there."
"…"
Happy understood what was going on.
More than half of the quests for Shifting Stars had been completed. It should not be enough for Master Murong to personally come out. This time, he might have come for the salt ship quest and the matter of killing General Yang.
With all sorts of questions in mind, Happy followed Uncle Rong into a side hall in the main hall.
On the wall of the side hall was an ink painting of mountains and rivers that could make people feel refreshed. It was very similar to the one Old Swordsman had been admiring in the royal mausoleum. At that moment, the Murong Clan Lady, who was dressed in a robe that was whiter than snow, stood beside the ink painting.
Beside the Murong Clan Lady was a middle-aged man with extraordinary bearing. He had his back turned to Happy in a relaxed manner while he admired the ink painting of mountains, rivers, and rivers. At first glance, he would be able to attract people's attention, and they would feel as if they were looking up to a great mountain.
"Master, I've brought Happy here."
Uncle Rong said to that person.
The current master of the Murong Clan turned his head around. His face was ancient, and there was a hideous scar on his forehead. It caused Happy to feel an incredibly great disparity between his back and front.
"Coming."
His voice was deep and steady, powerful and resonant.
"Greetings, master."
It was the first time Happy met the master of the Murong Clan. He sucked in a sharp breath before he recovered and went forward to greet him.
"I heard from Yu 'er that you are a hero who exemplifies the younger generation in Murong Clan. I won't say much about praising you. Last time, when I wasn't around, Yu' er said that you did a good job in the quest to protect the salt ships. Even though it was a little troublesome when General Yang died, the salt trade was cleared, and you can be considered to have done a meritorious deed." Murong Clan's tone was calm, and he stared at Happy with slight admiration.
"But I didn't expect that you would improve so quickly in just a few short months. Not only did you perform outstandingly at Light Summit, you even received unanimous praise from the six great system-allocated sects. The sect leaders also praised you, especially Sect Leader Zhou of Emei Sect. He said that you are Emei Sect's benefactor, and I, Murong Clan, am proud of you."
He stopped talking for a moment before his tone changed.
"You did an outstanding job at Light Summit, and Yu 'er kept egging me to summon you back to reward you. I've been thinking about how I should reward you, but you don't seem to need weapons or equipment."
Murong Clan's gaze was fixed on Happy's face, and he felt as if he had been seen through.
"This time, the martial arts tournament will be held. Follow Yu 'er to Hero's Mountain Villa! During the tournament, remember to spread Murong Clan's name. Do not let Nangong Clan and the other aristocratic families suppress us. When you come back, as long as you get into the top three, I will give you the manual for Shifting Stars ahead of time. It's fine. "
"I understand."
Happy was delighted.
He originally thought that he still had more than forty martial arts that he did not fulfill the requirements for, and he would have to postpone practicing Shifting Stars for half a year or even longer.
He did not expect that Master Murong would mention it ahead of time at that moment.
"Don't be too happy!" Master Murong's tone suddenly became incredibly stern and grave. "This time, quite a number of martial artists in Beijing sent me messages, and in their letters, they mentioned your deeds in Beijing. You sure have guts. You even dared to invade Ruyang Mansion. If it weren't for the fact that Prince Ruyang can't even protect himself right now, I might have no choice but to chase you out of the clan."
He stopped talking for a moment before he said, "But I didn't expect that you would practice Beggar's Sect's ultimate technique, Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm. Not only did you manage to protect Zhou Zhiruo, even Xuanming Elders and Prince Ruyang were unable to kill you."
"It's all thanks to my lady and Uncle Rong's teachings," Happy answered humbly.
When she heard this, the Murong Clan Lady quirked an eyebrow.
Master Murong smiled as well.
"Of course I know about Yu 'er and Uncle Rong's contributions, but you don't need to flatter them. The Murong Clan has its own rules. All the disciples who are accepted into the clan must go out and practice one hundred martial arts. They must earn their own living and stand out in the world of martial artists. You are the one who fought for your achievements."
"Understood."
"After the martial arts tournament ends, I decided to teach you Shifting Stars because I don't want you to place too much importance on the martial arts of other sects," Master Murong said. "I asked you to go out into the world to train and study one hundred martial arts so that you can broaden your horizons and learn all kinds of martial arts, but I don't want you to place too much importance on the martial arts of other sects."
Happy was stunned. It was only then that he noticed that Master Murong and the Murong Clan Lady's expressions had changed.
Master Murong continued speaking.
"Even though the requirements to practice the Murong Clan's ultimate technique, Shifting Stars, are incredibly harsh, everyone knows that once you master it, you will be able to enter a place where no one can stand against you even if you face an army of thousands. You will be invincible against those who are at the same level as you! In group battles, you will always be successful! Compared to those martial arts that require qi to be strong for a short period of time, the profundity of Shifting Stars is far greater. "
When he heard this, Happy instantly understood what was going on.
Master Murong and the Murong Clan Lady should be a little dissatisfied with his progress, but under the influence of the various storyline characters, they decided to give him the ultimate technique to motivate him to continue pursuing Shifting Stars.
It could be said that they had put a lot of thought into it.
But Master Murong did not know that Happy had spent a few months to learn Nine Yang Divine Skill because he wanted to complete the quest for Shifting Stars as soon as possible. Once he mastered Nine Yang Divine Skill, his progress in practicing martial arts would be astonishing, and he would be able to get twice the results with half the effort.
