Chapter 346 – Yu Cheng
This enormous city was enveloped by an invisible formation. With Yang Junshan’s current formation attainments, he was actually unable to see the true nature of this grand formation. It could be seen that the large formation that enveloped the entire city was at least above the treasure grade.
Cultivators in this city couldn’t fly, so it was forbidden for cultivators to use magic techniques to fight each other. There were many methods to travel between cities, such as tamed beast carriages, puppets, or even mortal porters.
There were many people walking in and out of Yu Cheng. Although they did not have to walk all over the place, they werundred times more prosperous than those in Mengyu County City, with many Mortal Realm cultivators being like crucian carp crossing the river. Even in Martial Realm Cultivator, people could be seen everywhere, and there were even some who had powerful auras and extraordinary temperament walking around, all of their cultivation levels were not lower than Yang Junshan’s.
The puppet under Yang Junshan’s feet was a Eight-legged Spider. Other than the one in front who was in charge of controlling the direction and guiding the way, the figure on the back of the spider could also ride on two other people.
After Yang Junshan came up, the Imperial Censor asked for his destination and asked for five Jade Coins s from Yang Junshan, then he embedded four of them into the puppet’s head, causing the runes on the puppet’s body to be activated. The rest of the Jade Coins s were kept in the Imperial Censor’s bag.
An hour later, the Spider Emperor had already walked about five kilometers within the Yu Cheng before finally stopping in front of a wide door face. Yang Junshan stepped down from the puppet for a while, when he suddenly felt a scorching Qi surging out from the door face. Raising his head, he saw that there was a large signboard in the center of the door face, with four big words written on it, “Heaven-Shaking Artifact”!
This should be the Heaven-Shaken Sect’s Artifact Forging Hall established at the entrance of the Yuxian. There were Artifact Forging Hall’s Artifact Forging Masters overseeing this place every day, so if Yang Junshan wanted to find Ouyang Xulin and level up his Mountain Monarch Seal, he could only start from here.
“Sir, do you want to come to our Heaven-Shaking Artifact Forging and crafting workshop? Our shop’s artificers are skilled and have a variety of artifacts. We can also accept you customizing as you please. We will try our best to satisfy your needs!”
Upon entering this heaven shaking equipment, a young cultivator dressed in Heaven-Shaken Sect cultivator’s attire immediately came to receive him.
Yang Junshan looked at the man and noticed that although the man had spoken politely, his expression was one of contempt and faint sense of superiority. He guessed that the man was at least an outer disciple of Heaven-Shaken Sect.
Yang Junshan thought for a while and asked: “If it’s just refining a normal magical equipment, how much would it be worth?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA light smile flashed across the young cultivator’s face, and he immediately said, “There are two types of normal weapons. One is the spirit materials provided by the cultivator, we only need to refine them; the other, including the spirit materials, is entirely handled by me, the Heaven-Shaking Sword. This way, the price would be very expensive.”
Yang Junshan nodded, and said: “Then, how long will it take to obtain the artifact?”
“Aiyo, that’s going to be long!”
The young cultivator shrugged his shoulders and said, “The grades of magic tools are different, and the amount of time it takes to refine them is also different. If your esteemed guest were to order them right now, you would have already pre-booked thirty-one magic tools. To refine one magic tool, you would need ten to fifteen days. You would need to wait more than a year to obtain them.”
Yang Junshan was secretly astounded. This was only one of the halls under the jurisdiction of the Artifact Forging Hall, it was only aimed at those cultivators that had no connections. In the Heaven-Shaken Sect, this was only used alace to gain experience and become a new artificer.
Cultivators with true connections would usually go to the Artifact Forging Hall directly. There were not only artificers there; there were also artificers masters and even grandmaster level artificers.
These were all items that the refiners of the Heaven-Shaken Sect could successfully refine. Of course, the cultivator could also design and customize the appearance of the tool, and then pass it to the refiners of the Heaven-Shaken Sect to refine. However, this way, the difficulty of refining the tool would greatly increase, and the cost would naturally be much higher.
When the young cultivator saw that Yang Junshan was only looking through it casually, he did not refine anything, but the disdain in his eyes grew stronger. However, because of the sect rules, he could only wait by the side and answer Yang Junshan’s questions regarding refining.
“In that case, have you chosen the magic tool that you wish to refine?” The welcoming cultivator reminded.
Yang Junshan was startled: “Uh, I didn’t say that I want to refine magic tools here!”
The welcoming cultivator’s face turned dark as he saw two more cultivators walk in from outside, but he still patiently said, “Then, guest, are you just casually looking around?”
“Oh,” At this moment, Yang Junshan finally realized that he might have been a bit of an entertainer, and said with an embarrassed smile: “I’m here to look for someone!”
The welcoming cultivator rolled his eyes and said with a stiff tone, “Who are you looking for?”
Oh, I’m looking for Ouyang Xulin!
The welcoming cultivator looked at him in surprise and said coldly, “How is Senior Brother Ouyang someone that you can see so easily?”
Yang Junshan had heard Ouyang Xulin speak of before, although the Heaven-Shaken Sect had its own smithing shops and pill refining shops, other than that, the smiths and alchemists of the Heaven-Shaken Sect would never refine or refine pills for anyone other than the Heaven-Shaken Sect, unless recommended by cultivators above the realms of life.
The High quality magical equipment in Yang Tiangang’s hands, the White Jade Smoke Rod, had also been refined for him through Fourth Aunt Yang Tianfang and Wang Qian, which was why he had asked the Refining Hall’s refiners to help him refine it.
Yang Junshan had an extremely close relationship with Ouyang Xulin, if Ouyang Xulin was not in the Heaven-Shaking Peak, then that would naturally be fine too. But if he wanted to find to refine another magical tool, then he could only think of a way to get the real person’s recommendation. This way, he could invite Ouyang Xulin to help him level up his Mountain Monarch Seal.
Yang Junshan was not surprised by the welcoming cultivator’s categorical rejection, but he could sense from the welcoming cultivator’s words that he respected Ouyang Xulin a little, hence he laughed and asked: “I never thought that this guy’s skills would get bigger, his refining skills are getting better and better.”
“Of course, Senior Brother Ouyang iare refining genius in the sect. He is someone who can be called ‘Two Prides’ along with our sect’s other alchemist genius, Senior Brother Zhang Yueming.”
The welcoming cultivator had already laughed until Yang Junshan should be very familiar with him, so he didn’t mind talking more, and said: “I heard that Senior Brother Ouyang actually refined a Chess a while ago!”
After he finished, the welcoming cultivator turned to Yang Junshan and asked: “Do you know whahess is?”
Then, he ignored Yang Junshan’s answer and spoke straightforwardly: “It’s said that he attracted a few formation masters from the sect to pay them a visit. It’s said that the Chess ireasure of a formation master, and after Senior Brother Ouyang became a Chess, even our sect’s formation masters have to curry favor with him!”
Hearing that Ouyang Xulin had refined a Chess, Yang Junshan was also excited. He just did not know how much help his teacher had given him, but to be able to refine Chess, even if it was a low rank Chess, it would probably be enough to raise the Mountain Monarch Seal to a High quality magical equipment.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Even if you really do know Senior Brother Ouyang, but because of the sect’s rules, you still can’t see him. I won’t send a message for you!”
Seeing that, Yang Junshan laughed, he then extended his hand out: “Then, what if I had this thing?”
“What is this, this jade plate is actually quite exquisite, but do you want me to use this bribe to send you a message? Hmph, our sect rules are strict, so don’t even think about it!”
Yang Junshan awkwardly realised that the young cultivator in front of him actually did not recognize the object in his hand, and looking at the little cultivator welcoming the guest in such a manner, even if he were to be told that this waecommendation from Adept Qing Yi, he would not admit it.
Yang Junshan patted his forehead speechlessly, and said: “Brother, who is in charge of your Heaven-Shaking Artifact, can you hand him over to me ….”
Several hours later, a confused Ouyang Xulin came down from Heaven-Shaking Peak and arrived at the Heaven-Shaking Artifact Shop. Seeing the deacon who was already waiting here, he said: “Are you sure it’s something Adept Qing Yi recommended? Are you sure that person clearly wants to use me to forge equipment for him and not some master refiner of our sect? Are you sure it’s not booze? ”
The deacon looked to be quite old, with sleepy eyes at the ends of his large nose and two large bags hanging from his eyes. His grey hair was messy, and he looked as if he had been forcefully woken up from a hangover.
“Aiyo, my junior brother Ouyang. How could I dare to joke around with you? The person looking for you is in the secret room. That person is probably even younger than you. You’ll know when you get in there.”
“Younger than me?” Ouyang Xulin’s footsteps paused, and he asked: “What’s his surname?”
Hearing this, the deacon’s face was filled with awkwardness. Ouyang Xulin said angrily: “Senior Brother Dian, as a cultivator of the late stage of martial arts realm, can’t you stop getting drunk all the time?”
Ouyang Xulin walked into the secret room, and saw Yang Junshan lifting the teacup in his hand, and laughed: “Brother Ouyang, how have you been?”
“Ha, as expected of you, I’ve already said it before. Whoever has nothing better to do, taking the recommendation of our sect’s cultivator, actually called me, a artificer from martial arts realm, over here. But you, you sure are willing to part with it, to use the recommended jade tablet for Qingyi Junior Master so easily!”
Ouyang Xulin was also very surprised to see Yang Junshan, but he still felt that it waity about the recommendation jade plate that was in Yang Junshan’s hands.
Yang Junshan spread out his hands: “There’s no need to hide it from me, I’m just a son of a noble family in the countryside, how could I step into the doorstep of Heaven-Shaken Sect?”
“You’re in sucurry, can’t you wait? Although the Mountain Monarch Seal is a Medial Grade Spirit Tool, its power cannot be said to be directly close to the High quality magical equipment’s. At the very least, its power is considered top tier amongst the Medial Grade Spirit Treasures, and can be used in the later stages of the martial arts realm! ”
Yang Junshan said helplessly: “It’s precisely because I can’t wait anymore!”
