The City Lord of Tongtian City, Gu Nanhong, was very satisfied when he saw that all the cultivators on the street fell silent. His gaze fell on Zhu Wenchang, the inner elder of the Refining Sect beside him, and he asked, "Elder Zhu, are you willing to duel in artifact crafting with this boy? Do you have any objections to my suggestion?"
Zhu Wenchang knew that Gu Nanhong was helping him. In his view, as a dignified inner elder of the Refining Sect, competing in artifact crafting against this boy, the boy probably didn't even know the basics of artifact refining. So, Zhu Wenchang believed that even before the duel started, the outcome was already predetermined.
However, Zhu Wenchang also knew that once he agreed, he owed Gu Nanhong a favor, which meant he would have to teach Gu Nanhong's son, Gu Tianchi, the art of artifact crafting.
