Chapter 72: Gathering and Red Gold

Chapter 72: Gathering and Red Gold

In the inner city, in the private room on the sixth floor of Yizi Restaurant.

The same place, the same people, the difference is that this time the person being surrounded was no longer Miss Lu but the high-spirited Yue Yunjin.

Li Yuanze and Wu Mingze, who looked dazed, sat on his left and right respectively.

Thanks to him, the young masters and young ladies in the inner city also came up with some topics to talk about, but Li Yuan didn't think much of it.
Wu Ming's eyes were a little red, but he accepted everyone who came and soon he was a little drunk.

"Ape arms and wasp waist, top-notch bones, Brother Yue, I really envy you!"

"Brother Yue has a natural physique, this is a blessing from God!"

"Miss Fang has a keen eye for talent. Brother Yue will rise to prominence in the future, but don't forget our fellow countrymen..."

……

There was a lot of drinking and polite communication.

Yue Yunjin's face was flushed and he looked a little smoky. What a huge change compared to before!

"This is the treatment of a superior root bone."

Li Yuan felt a little emotional and clinked his glass in agreement.

He was somewhat touched by the change in people's attitudes, but he didn't think it was a big deal. We are all in this world of fame and fortune, so who can be more noble than anyone else?
Yue Yunjin was quite happy, but he did not forget to pull his two junior brothers to his left and right to introduce them to everyone:
"My junior brother Li is extremely talented. He had made some progress in hammering after four months of learning, and in just half a year, he had already mastered the forging technique. I am far inferior to him!"

"My Junior Brother Wu Ming..."

Yue Yunjin also introduced the young ladies and gentlemen from the inner city to the two of them.

The sudden change in treatment made him feel a little flattered, but he also knew that in terms of relationship, the two junior brothers in the same academy were the closest to him.

"Brother Yue, you are too kind. How can I compare with you?"

Li Yuan stood up and toasted.

This Senior Brother Yue didn't forget to help him even when he turned over, and he was quite touched.

"Brother Yue, I'll toast to you!"

Wu Ming also stood up and drank three cups of apology, which drew cheers.

"Brother Li, my name is Liu Zheng. Don't call me Young Master. If you want to be polite, just call me Brother Liu!"

"Brother Liu!"

During the dinner, Yue Yunjin was naturally the focus, but some people also clinked glasses one by one, and Li Yuan responded one by one.

Liu Yunwu, Wen Yida, Wang Peiyao...

He had memorized these names more than two months ago, and these young masters and young ladies also knew his name, but it was not until this time that the two sides truly knew each other.

"This wine is really not tasty..."

After responding to everyone, Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and turned the wine glass in his hand again and again. He really didn't like the taste. It didn't taste like white wine, and it didn't taste like fruit wine either. It was sour and astringent.

At this time, a cup of honey water was placed in front of him.

"Thank you, Miss Wang."

Wang Peiyao's name sounds soft and gentle, but he is quite heroic. He wears a white suit, has a slender figure and a healthy complexion, which shows that he practices martial arts very diligently.

"Once is strange, twice is familiar. It would be bad if I call you Miss again when we meet for the second time. What do you think, Brother Li?"

Wang Peiyao pursed her lips.

"So, Lady King?"

Li Yuan took the honey water. It tasted okay, at least it was sweet.

"Brother Li is older than me, so just call me Pei Yao."

Wang Peiyao covered her mouth and chuckled, exchanged a few words, then turned around and greeted other people.

The eldest daughter of the county magistrate's family is much more easy-going than Miss Lu next to her, and she is mostly the one who creates the atmosphere at the dinner table.

As for Miss Lu, although she was there, she was very absent-minded. She ignored everyone who toasted her and seemed to be worried about something.

"Miss Lu's aunt is quite surprising. If this is the trend in the Divine Weapon Valley, it would be really great."

Li Yuan drank honey water and ate pastries, and he understood everything.

No one at the table hid the reason for the change in Yue Yunjin's treatment.

The female hero Fang Yunxiu, who was not present, met many people in the three months since she returned to the city, and finally chose Yue Yunjin.

Instead of Miss Lu, who has an upper-middle-level physique, great Qi and blood, a noble status and a blood relationship...

"My uncle came home last month and told me about Dechang Prefecture. It is said that a young genius has emerged from the Fire Dragon Temple. He is only sixteen years old, but he has already cultivated the 'Fire Dragon Power', which has caused a sensation."

"Fire Dragon Temple? Is it the thousand-year-old sect in Dechang Prefecture? He has already cultivated internal energy at the age of sixteen, and it is a superior fire dragon energy. He is truly a genius."

"Ms. Fang is not bad either, she..."

……

At the dinner table, people were drinking and chatting.

Wu Ming soon fell drunk, and many people were already chatting about this and that, talking about interesting stories and random things at home.

The pretty young lady was unable to stay with him until the end and left halfway.

Yue Yunjin went out to vomit twice. When he came back, he was already dizzy, holding up his chin.

Li Yuan asked the sons of the county magistrate and the county lieutenant all sorts of questions, and finally asked about Chi Jin.

This was the purpose of his coming to the party, and listening to some interesting stories outside the city was just a side job.

"Pure gold? Your boss has the most. Just ask him to change it. We don't hide the dust. Gold is enough for us."

Liu Zheng was a little drunk.

Pure gold is not circulated among the people, and ordinary merchants will not keep this thing that is more expensive than gold.

"Well, your shopkeeper Cao collects red gold every year. Even if all the houses in the inner city are hidden together, I guess they don't have as much as he does. This is the material for forging top-grade sharp blades. Brother Li, could it be you?"

Wen Yida was a little surprised.

There seems to be only one word difference between a top-grade blade and a best-grade blade, but in fact there is a huge gap. There are quite a few top-grade blades in the inner and outer cities, but best-grade blades have rarely appeared in these years.

In less than a year, being able to forge a top-grade weapon is already a sign of extraordinary talent. If one can forge a top-grade blade...

"Brother Li, are you going to try to forge a top-grade sharp blade?"

Liu Yunwu also came over.

"That's impossible. I'm planning to exchange it for some red gold to familiarize myself with the material in advance and prepare for the future."

Li Yuan vaguely replied, but his heart was a little heavy.

He didn't expect that there were so few of these things, and that the young ladies and gentlemen in the inner city didn't have any...

At this time, Wang Peiyao came over with a wine glass, glanced at Yue Yunjin and Wu Ming who were already unconscious, and handed the wine glass over:

"Have a drink and I'll tell you who has the red gold!"

Li Yuan drank the glass of wine decisively. It tasted spicy, his stomach was churning, and he felt a little tipsy.

He was so straightforward that Wang Peiyao felt a little embarrassed: "Red gold, Sister Bai Ling has it at home!"

Lu Bailing?
Li Yuan burped.

……

"Get up the sedan!"

In the gray sedan, Lu Bailing was unhappy.

She never thought that her aunt would actually not choose her!
"Yue Yunjin still hasn't realized the Six Combinations for several years, and his talent is not as good as mine! Is it because he has a good physique?"

Lu Bailing was depressed. She had started planning this more than a year ago, originally thinking that after she entered the inner gate of the Divine Weapon Valley, she would have people to command.

Who would have expected...

"There's still time, half a year. Maybe my aunt can change her mind? This is so difficult. Ahhhhhhhh!"

Lu Bailing rubbed her hair and was in a very bad mood.

She knew there was another way to go, which was to practice her "Yan Hui Ruyi Hand" to perfection, which could also improve her constitution.

Although it is not as good as the natural superior physique, it can also be considered superior physique.

But any martial art is easy to get started with but difficult to master. She had decent talent and after three years of training, she had mastered the palm technique. However, she didn't know how far it was from great success to perfection.

Even if she had a famous teacher to guide her, it would probably take her more than 20 years...

"Miss?"

Outside the sedan, Butler Zhong, who had a small moustache, spoke softly.

"what happened?"

Lu Bailing tidied up her messy hair and lifted the curtain of the sedan chair.

"Miss, just relax. Lady Fang has made arrangements for you to enter the Divine Weapon Valley. There are two envoys in each group, and each of them has a quota!"

As Butler Zhong spoke, he paused slightly, frowned, and looked into the distance.

Lu Bailing looked in the direction she was looking and saw outside her own house an unkempt young man with a sallow face, holding a knife and looking as if he didn't want anyone to come near him.

"Who is this person?"

"A man of the underworld who doesn't know when to advance or retreat..."

Butler Zhong bowed slightly, said a few words, and went to greet him.

Outside the Lu residence, Yu Zhen stood holding a knife, and saw the smiling Zhong Butler:
"Master Lu is not at home?"

"Replying to Mr. Yu, the master should still be in the government office. Someone complained yesterday that a quack doctor used improper medicine and caused the death of many women. It was tragic..."

Yu Zhen was not interested and interrupted him:

"When will Master Lu come back?"

"I don't know about this..."

Butler Zhong shook his head.

"Then Yu will come again tomorrow, and remember to tell Lord Lu!"

Yu Zhen turned and left.

……

Lu Mansion, back garden.

"After Yu Zhen learned the 'God Worship Method', he really couldn't resist the temptation. He went to all the seven temples in the outer city..."

Butler Zhong bowed slightly.

"Such an idiot really tarnishes the holy law! I can't help it..."

Lu Yunqing was tending to the flowerbed and clearing the messy branches: "This old guy Han Chuijun has a huge appetite. I'm afraid Cao Yan alone can't satisfy him..."

"Yu Zhen's cultivation is shallow and he is practicing randomly. I'm afraid he will go crazy soon. Even if he doesn't go crazy, can Han Chuijun believe it?"

Butler Zhong was a little hesitant.

Click!

Lu Yunqing cut off the branches with a cold expression:

"If you still don't believe it, then we can only see how powerful his Bingdao Dousha Hammer is!"

……

"The God Worship Method is dangerous and strange, not as safe as the Military Dao Fighting Hammer. But, who killed Nian Jiu?"

Yu Zhen muttered to himself that even though he had learned the method of worshipping gods, he still couldn't forget the Bingdao Fighting Hammer.

Over the past three months, he had tested most of the hammer masters in Gaoliu County, including the blacksmiths in the forge who had mastered the hammer technique.

But found nothing.

“Nian Jiu has successfully tempered his body. Even if he is seriously injured, no one who has not mastered the hammer technique can kill him... Is there another master hidden in the city?
It can't be those apprentices, right?"

Walking to the end of a street outside the government office, Yu Zhen heard a melodious bell sound coming from the Thousand-Eyed Bodhisattva Temple.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling a little apprehensive, yet also a little moved:

"The incense here is much better than those seven houses outside the city..."

……

……

Li Yuan sobered up and looked out the window, but Miss Lu's sedan was gone.

He was not in a hurry. Lu Bailing looked in a very bad mood today, so it was not a good time to ask.

After finding out the time of the next gathering, he asked someone to send the unconscious Yue Yunjin and Wu Ming back home.

"That Miss Lu probably doesn't like us very much. It's not easy to exchange red gold with her..."

It was not too late, so after Li Yuan sobered up, he returned to the forging room.

The forge was bustling with activity. The blacksmiths who had been transferred earlier had returned, and except for a few who were injured, all of them had come to work.

Zhang Ben was in a good mood. Before leaving work, he went out to buy some wine and meat to reward the blacksmiths and helpers.

Li Yuan had just returned and was also forced to drink. The blacksmiths, who were usually quite envious of him, did not miss this opportunity and vowed to knock him down.

Everyone was in high spirits as they ate and drank.

Li Yuan couldn't hold on and was nearly drunk, so he had to slip away halfway.

"I won't drink next time!"

After rubbing his temples and washing his face with cold water, Li Yuan prepared to go home.

As soon as I went out, I saw Yu Zhen, who was drunk, yawning and returning to the shop.

"The Green Snake's true plan is with him..."

As they passed each other, Li Yuan didn't look back, but there was some surprise in his eyes.

Yu Zhen had more than just the Green Snake's fundamental diagram, and more than just the knife...

【Thousand-Eyed Bodhisattva Wooden Sign (Level 1)】

[A wooden plaque made of a mixture of incense ash and peach wood, with fragments of a ritual for worshipping the gods on it…]

[Control conditions: Introduction to the worship method]

[Control Effect: Level 1 of God Worship]

"God worship method?"

Li Yuan sobered up immediately.

"you……"

Yu Zhen turned around.

Looking at the slender and strong young man, he found that he had changed so much compared to three months ago that he almost didn't recognize him.

"Are you Li Yuan?"
