In Tianji City, the Tianji Imperial Palace stood majestically at the center of the capital city. On both sides of the palace were rows of commercial buildings, with smoke curling up from the chimneys. Between the largest Dragonfish Auction House and the Army Destroyer Weapon Shop, a rather simple and unadorned building stood there. It was like an old man who had been baptized by wind and rain for a thousand years. Although he was old, he still possessed outstanding knowledge and extraordinary abilities. This building was known as the Battle Hall. Such Battle Halls could be seen everywhere in the Heavenly Pole Continent. This Battle Hall in Tianji City was also the headquarters of the entire continent's Battle Halls. It was the cradle that nurtured genius experts.
Countless cultivators were sparring with each other in the training field. Behind the Battle Hall was a very quiet pavilion with a green stone wall blocking its connection with the outside world. It was as if it was isolated from the world. Normally, no one would come here and it was the best place for cultivation in the Tianji Empire. Here lived a highly respected old man — Sikong Ming, the Sect Leader of the Tianji Sect, the strongest expert in the entire Celestial Pole Continent!
There were Buddhist shrines floating on the surface of the water between the pavilions. An old man sat cross-legged on the surface of the water, but there was an icy lotus flower condensed beneath him. It was extremely mysterious. If one looked carefully, they would discover that there was an invisible force rippling on the surface of the water around the old man. It was like a cool breeze, warm, but concealed a hidden sharpness.
Swish!
In the air, a shadow swept across the water surface like a water bird treading on the water. When it was about ten meters away from the old man, it stopped and stepped on the water surface without causing any ripples. Then, it knelt down on both knees and said respectfully, "Your Honor, there is news of Young Mistress!"
"Oh?"
Sikong Ming opened his eyes, which were full of vigor. He smiled and said, "That child Yao has been out for so many days. I have sensed her aura. She should be coming to Tianji City."
"Your Honor is wise. Oh right."
The martial artist frowned and said, "Young Mistress came back with Shang Qian from the Shang Family. There are also two unfamiliar men who don't look like servants. One of them has a high cultivation, at least a Saint Martial Venerable. However, there is no record of this person in the Saint Register of the Battle Hall."
"I understand."
Sikong Ming seemed to have already seen through everything. He smiled and said, "Let her be. Yao should make some new friends. Moreover, this person's aura doesn't have any hostility. Making friends with this kind of person is good for Yao."
"Yes, Your Honor. Then … do we need to send someone to follow them?"
"No need."
Sikong Ming leisurely smiled, "I'm already following them."
The martial artist's eyes lit up. "Yes, I understand."
"You may leave. Without my order, no one is to disturb my cultivation."
"Yes!"
…
One day later, Tianji City welcomed a new group of travelers. When Lin Muyu, Liu Buyi, and the others arrived at Tianji City, it was already dusk. In this prosperous imperial city, the lanterns had just been lit, and it was very lively. Looking at the towering pavilions and towers, Liu Buyi was already speechless. He could only express his amazement with "wa wa wa".
Lin Muyu rode on the horse, quietly glancing at the buildings in Tianji City with her peripheral vision. The Tianji Empire was indeed prosperous and prosperous. Along the way, there were more than 50 blacksmith shops. If each blacksmith shop could produce 100 weapons a day, this city could produce more than 20,000 weapons a day. It was terrifying. Such a smelting ability was not inferior to that of Lanyan City.
On the other side, Shang Qian looked at Lin Muyu intentionally or unintentionally. She was thinking silently in her heart. From the way he held the reins, she could tell that he was a person with excellent horsemanship. Even from the strength he used to whip the horse and the way he turned, she could tell that he was a person who had honed his horsemanship through hundreds of battles. Why would such a person become a friend of Si Kongyao?
Shang Qian frowned but did not say anything.
Later that night, they arranged for Lin Muyu and Liu Buyi to stay in the best posthouse in Tianji City. Then, Shang Qian and Si Kongyao planned to go home to report that they were safe. The next day, they would pick up Lin Muyu and Liu Buyi and travel to the territory of the Celestial Empire together. Although the three empires had frequent border conflicts, they did not really go to war. Otherwise, there would not be such a prosperous era.
Each of the three empires had a Sacred Martial God expert. In addition, they had a strong military force, so they restrained each other. No one dared to take the initiative to start a war. Otherwise, they would inevitably become the target of public criticism.
Therefore, this night, only Lin Muyu and Liu Buyi were left in the posthouse. After eating dinner early, the two decided to go to the streets to watch the bustling scene. Anyway, it was still too early. It was not bad to see the bustling night of Tianji City.
Lin Muyu was still dressed as a ranger. She was dressed in a loose grayish-white tight-fitting outfit with a worn-out animal skin wrapped around it. At first glance, it was obvious that she came from the mountains. If it was not for her extraordinary bearing, she would probably be mistaken for a hunter. As for Liu Buyi, he was dressed in a long gown and looked like a fraud. The two of them walking on the streets of Tianji City did not attract much attention.
At night, there were many restaurants on both sides of the street. The sound of drinking and playing games could be heard everywhere. Moreover, there were also some beautiful women on the street. This made Lin Muyu sigh with emotion. It turned out that there was such an industry here. Sure enough, PCs were the driving force of human economic development …
"Linen Yi, shouldn't you get yourself a weapon?" Asked Lin Muyu. After so many days of cultivation, Liu Buyi could already generate Genuine Qi that was not too weak. In terms of classification, he should have almost stepped into the second heaven of the Human Realm. In any case, he could be considered as a scholar who had the strength to truss a chicken.
"Weapon?"
Liu Buyi was stunned and said, "Young hero, I have never used a weapon. This … can you help me choose one?"
"Sure."
Lin Muyu looked at his figure and said, "You are too thin and weak. It is not suitable for you to use heavy weapons. Hammers, battle-axes, broadswords and the like are definitely not suitable for you. Then, I will choose weapons like short swords, daggers, short swords, or fans. Choose one yourself."
"Daggers, short swords?" Liu Buyi frowned. "It doesn't sound like a good person. I, Liu Buyi, am a scholar. Heaven is jealous of geniuses. Pooh … I am a natural genius. If I can't use that kind of weapon, then I will use a fan."
"I knew it."
Lin Muyu secretly laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Liu Buyi looked unhappy.
"Why did you choose a fan?"
"Because of dexterity." Liu Buyi chuckled. "Moreover, he has an elegant demeanor and is extraordinarily handsome. Who knows, he might even be able to get himself a wife!"
"Oh, your life goal is to get a wife?"
"Yes. Young hero, you are so handsome. You will definitely not lack women. I am different. I am almost 30 years old and have never touched a woman's body. Ah, it is really sad to talk about it …"
"I do too!" Lin Muyu said casually.
"Is that so?" Liu Buyi's eyes lit up. He said with a smile, "That is easy. Hasn't Miss Si Kongyao always wanted to recruit you into the Tianji Sect? Moreover, I can tell that she likes you very much. She is just too shy to say it. As the saying goes, a man should take the initiative. Young hero, why don't you tell her to let Si Kongyao be your woman and you will join the Tianji Sect. In my opinion … "
He counted with his fingers and rolled his eyes. A few seconds later, he said, "I am at least 80% sure that Miss Si Kongyao will agree to it."
Lin Muyu looked at him with disdain. "You only think about this all day. Hmph, I was wrong about you. Moreover, I don't want to die. If I dare to touch Si Kongyao, I guarantee that her grandfather will immediately jump out and fight me. I can't afford to offend an old grandfather with the cultivation of a Martial God."
Liu Buyi laughed: "Look at you, I know you're scared. I think, maybe you've taken a fancy to that Shang family's missy. After all, she's more feminine. That figure, the front and the back …"
"Stop drooling, my dear brother. You are a graceful scholar."
"Cough cough …"
The two of them walked into a blacksmith shop. Immediately, a skinny shopkeeper welcomed them with a face full of smiles. "Are the two of you looking for weapons?"
"Yes."
Lin Muyu nodded. "My friend wants to buy an iron fan. Shopkeeper, do you have it in your shop?"
"Yes, yes, yes. This way please!"
They came to a row of exquisite weapon racks. There were many fans on them. The price and material were marked on the side. The skinny shopkeeper picked one up and said, "The frame of this fan is made of fine steel. It is as hard as iron. The surface of the fan is weaved with cloud silk. It cannot be cut by swords or sabers. It was forged by the capital's famous blacksmith, Gongye Mou. The price is 5000 gold coins."
"Wow, 5000 gold coins. So expensive?" Liu Buyi was dumbfounded.
Lin Muyu couldn't help but laugh. This guy was too embarrassing. She said, "Let me take a look."
He took the fan and weighed it in his hand. After injecting his divine power into the fan to test the recoil, he said, "It is indeed a good fan, but the material is not good enough, and the impurities have not been purified. With such a material, it cannot withstand the King's Fighting Flame of a Sacred Warrior. Shopkeeper, am I right?"
The shopkeeper was startled. He narrowed his eyes. This young man in front of him was not simple. His eyes were really sharp!
"Yes, yes … then what about this one?" He quickly picked up another fan and said, "Customer, look. This fan has a name. It is called the Heavenly Secrets Fan."
"Oh?"
Lin Muyu took the fan and said with a smile, "In terms of material, it is not as good as the one just now."
"That's right. However, Young Hero, don't forget its name. The Heavenly Secrets Fan must have a secret inside."
Saying that, the shopkeeper took back the fan and gently opened it. After pressing the mechanism at the bottom of the fan, "Shua Shua Shua", several steel needles that were so thin that they couldn't be seen flew out and pierced into the stone wall. So sharp!
Liu Buyi was dumbstruck, "This … this is a fan with hidden weapons!"
"That's right." The shopkeeper was immensely proud of himself, "This Heavenly Secrets Fan can not only defend against enemies in battle, but it can also kill people invisibly. However, if it is not a mortal enemy, hehe … it is better not to use hidden weapons."
"En, we will take this fan. How much is it?"
"Not expensive. 1500 gold coins."
"Pay up, commoner." Lin Muyu raised her eyebrows and smiled.
Liu Buyi unwillingly took out the gold notes. At this time, he also realized that Lin Muyu was not a master who knew how to run a household.
… …
Just at this time, a cold voice suddenly came from behind, "Oh, so it is you two. Truly wearing out iron shoes in fruitless search, only to find it by chance!"
