Chapter 212 Starfall Cold Furnace Involves City Lord Wang's Conspiracy
Chapter 212 Starfall Cold Furnace Involves City Lord Wang's Conspiracy
Since he was going, he definitely had to bring this person along.
Moreover, the Spirit Stones in his hands had been significantly depleted after a spending spree at Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, and he hadn't accumulated much in recent years. He estimated that he would have to sell some of his treasured possessions.
He talked with True Person Qing Yang, and the other party agreed readily.
However, Wang Yu hadn't expected it.
Just as he was preparing funds, Proprietor Ye Qing of Golden Abundance Pavilion, whom he hadn't seen for some time, came to pay respects, bringing actually Good News.
The Pill Furnace he had custom-ordered a few years ago had arrived, a Mid Third Grade Starfall Cold Furnace!
Reaching Middle Grade level was Good Business, but it also meant he needed to pay a large Remaining Payment!
"City Lord Wang."
"Proprietor Ye."
The two didn't exchange many pleasantries. Under Han Jia's management, Heavenly Treasure Pavilion had beaten Golden Abundance Pavilion to a pulp. Ye Qing's Family Fortune had been poured in, and his current state was very poor.
His complexion was sallow and his face pale.
It was as if he had applied uneven, low-quality face powder. It was a bit Unexpected that he could even come to deliver the Starfall Cold Furnace, considering his current predicament was entirely thanks to Wang Yu.
"This is the Pill Furnace custom-made by City Lord. The Pavilion fronted some Spirit Ingredient Materials for you, and the Artifact Refiner Master also requires a fee. The Remaining Payment is four hundred and twenty thousand Spirit Stones."
"That much?" Wang Yu asked suspiciously.
He remembered that he had paid one hundred thousand Spirit Stones and also provided a Third Tier Spirit Material. And he still needed to pay four hundred and twenty thousand? That was enough to buy half a Core Formation Spirit Object.
Did he take him for a fool?!
Ye Qing's expression became even more unpleasant. "City Lord Wang, According To the Rules, when the final Magic Treasure is completed, if it exceeds the Lower Grade Rank, a Red Envelope (Gratuity) must be given to the Artifact Refiner to express gratitude."
Hearing This, Wang Yu nodded, acknowledging the logic.
"How much was enclosed?"
"Two hundred thousand."
Ye Qing stretched out his fingers to gesture, instantly causing Wang Yu's brows to furrow into A Ball.
"Are you joking? Hiring him to take action already cost one hundred thousand, and adding another two hundred thousand, I could buy a new Low-Grade Magic Treasure. Not to mention I also provided a Third Tier Spirit Material."
"City Lord Wang, this is the Artifact Refiner Master's intention, and there's nothing I can do."
"(chuckle)—"
Wang Yu stored the Pill Furnace into his Ocean Heart Ring and tossed out a Storage Pouch. "Inside are two hundred and twenty thousand Spirit Stones. You can ask Jin Miaoshan to reason with him."
Ye Qing's face immediately darkened.
"City Lord, business isn't done this way."
Wang Yu was equally impolite.
"I don't care about your Unspoken Rules. If it were thirty to fifty thousand, or even one hundred thousand Spirit Stones, Person Wang would accept it. Two hundred thousand… are you slaughtering a pig?
Ye Qing didn't reply, casually cupped his fist in salute, and left.
Wang Yu watched his departing back. Invisibility Technique + Breathless Incantation were simultaneously cast as he Rapidly followed. He also took out Han Jia's Sound Transmission Jade Talisman to inquire about the Artifact Refiner's matter.
While Secretly tailing him, he also learned the truth from Han Jia. This kind of Unspoken Rule did exist, but generally it was fifty thousand Spirit Stones. Only for Refining a High-Grade Magic Treasure would the price be two hundred thousand.
Thus, Wang Yu understood in his heart.
The Artifact Refiner Master invited to Refine the Pill Furnace Belonging To Jin Miaoshan's Channel. Ye Qing didn't have the Ability to invite him. What he was doing was purely out of revenge.
"Want to make this City Lord offend Golden Abundance Pavilion's Artifact Refiner Master? What's the point?"
While pondering, Wang Yu suddenly recalled what happened when he first met Jin Miaoshan. According to his understanding of Ye Qing, the other party was Not Really an unintelligent person.
In other words, he had a reliance!
Now Jin Miaoshan was in Secluded Meditation (Death Seclusion), and there had been No News for more than five years. Her Opponent, Young Master Jin Lin, whom Qian Zhong had mentioned, might be the mastermind.
But… why target him?
Relying on his exquisite Invisibility Technique, Wang Yu followed Ye Qing all the way into Spirit Jade Gold Tower. After the other party went to the top floor, he activated a Soundproofing Formation.
Wang Yu's Divine Sense had Already broken through Third Grade, and he was extremely familiar with the Internal situation of Golden Abundance Pavilion. When sticking extremely close, he could hear Ye Qing's voice from within the Formation.
"Young Master, the matter is settled. Wang Yu indeed refused to take out this sum of Spirit Stones."
Then came an unfamiliar, condescending young man's voice.
"He's not a fool. How could he be willing to pay an extra two hundred thousand Spirit Stones? Being able to make Jin Miaoshan suffer a loss once has already proven Wang Yu's Ability."
Ye Qing: "Then what should Subordinate do next?"
Mysterious Young Master: "The Branch Pavilions in Cloud Ridge State are all managed by Jin Miaoshan. Recently, the Pavilion discovered a Third Tier Mineral Deposit called Deep Sea Sunken Silver on the Crimson Kite East Bank, near the Land of Ancient Chaos Sea.
"This Mineral Deposit has a very high Probability of giving Birth to Rank 4 Sunken Silver Mother Essence, but its location is in You Province, which is Yellow Springs Temple's Territory, and the Pavilion Lord of You Province is this Young Master's Third Uncle."
At first, Ye Qing was still a bit confused, but Hearing This, he understood and said with a suddenly enlightened tone.
"Grandmaster Tian Shui is Already a Third-Order Peak Artifact Refiner. If he wants to Breakthrough, he must Refine a Fourth-Order Magic Treasure with his own hands, but Materials are hard to find. If he were to Learn of this News, he would definitely make a trip personally."
"That's right, I will let him know this News."
That arrogant male voice continued.
"Tian Shui is a supporter of Jin Miaoshan and will definitely Settle Down at the Gui Ling Branch Pavilion. Your Mission is to use this matter to provoke him, to belittle Tian Shui's Skill.
"When Wang Yu and Tian Shui clash, with that person's Passing By style of conduct and Means, he will definitely not let it go easily."
Speaking of which.
The Young Master paused for a moment, and said in a chilling tone, "It would be best if Tian Shui dies in Gui Ling. I will Dispatch a team of Deathsworn to go over, at your command."
"After the matter is Became, this Young Master will guarantee you a Core Formation Breakthrough and transfer you back to the Golden Toad City Main Pavilion, to listen to my orders from now on."
Ye Qing also adopted A Look Of sincere panic.
"Ye Qing will definitely serve Young Master Jin Lin to the death and complete this plan."
"Good—
"Then this Young Master will wait for your Good News, hahaha~"
......
......
Gui Ling City Lord's Mansion.
Wang Yu didn't take action after Hearing This, but Returned to his small residence.
To be honest, after Hearing This plans, Wang Yu felt that this Young Master Jin Lin's brain wasn't very good. Going through such a big detour, just to Kill a staunch supporter of Jin Miaoshan.
Oh, no!
The other party wanted to pin the blame on Person Wang.
To provoke him to attack Jin Miaoshan. The problem is, even if things Development According To Jin Lin's plan, the premise for him and Tian Shui to clash is still too flimsy.
Two hundred thousand and fifty thousand, just a casual word, wouldn't the misunderstanding be resolved? Moreover, Jin Miaoshan Entrusted Grandmaster Tian Shui to help him Refine Artifacts, she must have also talked about Wang Yu.
Knowing the Mysterious Relationship between the two, it's impossible to have a decisive fight over a trivial disagreement.
Taking a step back.
Tian Shui dies in Gui Ling, and then what?
Even if the other party is Jin Miaoshan's elder, with her being in Secluded Meditation (Death Seclusion), she wouldn't even Learn about it, so what Impact could it have~
Thinking of this.
Wang Yu finally understood.
Jin Lin didn't know what Jin Miaoshan was doing? Testing whether he could cut off her right and left arms? This possibility was quite high.
But then…
Luring people to that Deep Sea Sunken Silver Mineral Deposit, disguised as Cultivator from the Chaotic Ancient Sea to directly Kill them would be fine. Why bother coming to Gui Ling to go through the motions?
Was he bullying Person Wang for being Newly Arrived and simple-minded?!!
When he first arrived, and had a conflict with Golden Abundance Pavilion, he directly ordered the Pavilion to be slaughtered, which did have the flavor of a Madman and a lunatic.
"Wait…"
"If Jin Lin thinks my Character is arrogant and I act recklessly, and would order the Pavilion to be slaughtered again over such a trivial matter, then his plan, being so Troublesome, does seem more Reasonable."
Because of the last incident, Golden Abundance Pavilion's Reputation suffered a certain Damage. Although they tried As Much As Possible to recover afterwards, the Damage had already been done.
Therefore, Jin Miaoshan was punished.
Wang Yu was fine because Zhuo Shouqing asked his Third Uncle for help. This Favor was Already more important than a Profound Heaven Secret Realm Quota.
So, when Zhuo Shouqing came to Gui Ling, Wang Yu didn't mention to him the request to exchange for another kind of Resource.
Looking at it from another perspective.
The Profound Heaven Secret Realm Quota was useless to him, but he obtained two Upper-Grade Core Formation Spirit Materials. The Value of the two was Equivalent To each other, which was Equivalent To an exchange.
Some things can only happen once!
Zhuo Shouqing had explicitly warned him, so Wang Yu would definitely not issue such an order. If Jin Lin really thought so, then he was too stupid.
This did not fit his Identity as a Heir Candidate.
While Wang Yu was racking his brains, he deeply understood the troublesomeness of these large Faction's successors. Even the matter of participating in the King Yama Ghost Market Auction House was put aside by him.
The last person who gave him this impression was Moonlight Fairy Chang Xi of Heavenly Void Sword Sect. Unexpectedly, he encountered another one today. To be honest… he would rather not have heard this Secret talk.
From the first time Qian Zhong was ordered to use the Everlasting Vitality Treasure Branch to plot against Jin Miaoshan, he had been implicated. This time, it was that Jin Lin's second time taking action against him!
What is tolerable, is unbearable. Could he avoid it?
Just as Wang Yu was considering this possibility, True Person Qing Yang flew over from afar, bringing Good News.
"City Lord, Envoy Grain Valley True Person sent a Sound Transmission Jade Talisman, he Became successful, and is expected to Return to report back in three months."
Wang Yu was Joyful at first, and then immediately felt something was wrong.
He frowned.
"What were his exact words?"
Green Ram took out a Jade Slip and handed it to Wang Yu. After reading it, a Spirit Light suddenly flashed in Wang Yu's mind.
"I understand! So that's the Original Intent."
"What is it?"
Facing Green Ram's question, Wang Yu narrowed his eyes.
In his heart, he had Already categorized Grain Valley True Person as an enemy, and the chairman of the Purple Gold Merchant Guild also had major suspicions.
Three months later is the King Yama Ghost Market Auction House. Grain Valley's Return at this time, coupled with Grandmaster Tian Shui coming to the Gui Ling Branch Pavilion, the timing is too coincidental.
Moreover, Grain Valley's Shape-Shifting Technique, even Young Lord Fu Luo Chen, who is Proficient in hiding and concealing breaths, couldn't see through it. Isn't that too strange?
Could such a person be an Independent Cultivator? And specifically come to Gui Ling to serve him, the possibility is too low.
Thinking the worst.
If he was completely unaware of everything, in three months, he and Green Ram should both be at the King Yama Ghost Market. And then Ye Qing would bring Grandmaster Tian Shui to his door to cause trouble.
If Grain Valley was disguised as him, the Probability of the two fighting would Became inevitable. At That Time, cooperating with the Deathsworn to Kill Tian Shui, and then ordering the City Lord's Mansion to slaughter the Gui Ling Branch Pavilion.
He, Wang Yu—will Become the one Shouldering the biggest black pot!
When thinking about it before, Wang Yu had not considered this possibility, but he had fallen into a misunderstanding.
City Lord's Token!
This kind of Identity proof is linked to the Formation and is Almost impossible to forge. But According To this plan, there is no need to activate the City Lord's Mansion's Formation at all.
"Damn Jin Lin!"
