The next day, Chen Yuan came to the weapon refining pavilion to repair the magic weapon.
The Equipment Refining Pavilion is a little quieter than the Alchemy Pavilion, but there are still many cultivators coming and going.
Chen Yuan found a disciple on duty and told him that he wanted to repair a top-grade magical weapon. Under his guidance, he came to a quiet room.
In the quiet room was a disciple at the tenth level of Qi Refining. He looked a little pale, obviously having not seen the sun for a long time, and was meditating with his eyes closed.
The disciples on duty bowed respectfully:
"Brother Yan, this Brother Chen wants to repair a top-grade magic weapon."
When Senior Brother Yan saw Chen Yuan, who had the same cultivation level as himself, he did not dare to be arrogant and stood up to greet him:
"Junior Brother Chen, please take out the magic weapon and let me see it."
Chen Yuan took out the focusing mirror and handed it over:
"Brother, please look."
When Senior Brother Yan saw the blackened surface of the Dingguang Mirror and a deep crack, he couldn't help but smile.
The more serious the damage to the magic weapon, the more spirit stones it will cost to repair it, and the more profit he will get from it.
He took the fixed lens, examined it carefully, and said:
"Junior Brother Chen, this mirror is truly extraordinary. It is a top-grade magical weapon. However, the damage is quite serious and it will cost a lot to repair. However, after the repair, its power will be restored to its original state... Fixed Light Mirror?!"
When he saw the words "Dingguang" on the back of the bronze mirror, his face changed and he exclaimed in surprise.
Chen Yuan's eyes flashed and he asked:
"Brother Yan, is there any problem?"
Senior Brother Yan changed his smiling face and turned cold as ice. He handed the Dingguang Realm back to Chen Yuan:
"I just remembered that there are still a few magic tools that have not been repaired. I have no time to take care of them at the moment. Junior Brother Chen, please go back."
Chen Yuan nodded, as if he had expected it, took the bronze mirror, and walked out of the quiet room.
Afterwards, he found several other disciples from the Equipment Refining Pavilion to repair the Qing Ning Shield, but the result was the same.
They didn't know Qing Ningdun, but after learning Chen Yuan's name, their attitude changed drastically and they refused in every possible way.
Chen Yuan was not annoyed. After trying all the refiners on duty, he left the Refining Pavilion.
Mo Jingchun once said that the Huang family had two foundation-building cultivators in the Lingyun Sect, namely Huang Sipei and Huang Anhe.
Huang Sipei is a core disciple, a cultivator in the late foundation building stage, and is devoted to cultivation.
Huang Anhe is a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building and serves as a deacon in the Equipment Refining Pavilion.
Chen Yuan was well prepared for what was going to happen today, but he still went to the Equipment Refining Pavilion.
He wanted to see how much influence Huang Anhe had in the Equipment Refining Pavilion.
Now it seems that Huang Anhe is not only all-powerful in the Equipment Refining Pavilion, but also extremely powerful and able to influence every Qi Refining disciple.
It was impossible for Chen Yuan to repair the magic weapon in the Refining Pavilion.
He had another option, which was to report the matter to the Law Enforcement Office.
The Equipment Refining Pavilion cannot refuse to repair magical instruments for the sect's disciples. If the Law Enforcement Pavilion investigates, they must give Chen Yuan an explanation.
But the Equipment Refining Pavilion had plenty of ways to delay and shirk responsibility. What Chen Yuan wanted to repair was a top-grade magical weapon, which required a top-notch equipment refiner, of which there were not many in the Equipment Refining Pavilion. So it was not difficult to delay it for a year or two.
Even if the Equipment Refining Pavilion finally agreed to repair the fixed light mirror, they could also deliberately damage it. Even if they compensated Chen Yuan with a large sum of spirit stones, he would not have time to find a suitable magical weapon.
After this incident, Chen Yuan completely gave up on the Equipment Refining Pavilion and also tested Huang's attitude towards him.
He had been a disciple for more than a month, but Huang had never come to visit him, as if he had forgotten that he had killed Huang Yunshang.
But judging from the reaction of the Equipment Refining Pavilion, Huang's hatred for him has not diminished.
However, private fighting is prohibited within the Lingyun Sect's mountain gate, so Huang had no way to start. He could only hold him back on the weapon refining issue, force him to leave the mountain gate, and then wait for an opportunity to take action.
After thinking it over, Chen Yuan did not return to the cave, but took out a sound transmission talisman and controlled the flying boat to fly in another direction.
……
The next day, Chen Yuan was meditating with his eyes closed in the practice room when a faint voice suddenly reached his ears:
"Is Junior Brother Chen in the mansion? Yuan is here to visit."
The voice was extremely subtle and gentle. It repeated three times in Chen Yuan's ears before disappearing.
Chen Yuan slowly finished his training, opened his eyes, stood up and walked out of the training room.
This is the Lingyun Sect’s cave’s forbidden method of transmitting sound, which will not disturb the cultivation of the cave master.
If he had no time to greet the guests, he only needed to reply with the previous sentence, and the visitors would be able to hear it. Chen Yuan lifted the ban and opened the gate of the courtyard.
Outside the courtyard, Senior Brother Yuan held up his identity jade card, smiled, and bowed to Chen Yuan, saying:
"I hope my visit did not disturb my training, my junior brother?"
Chen Yuan smiled and returned the greeting:
"No problem, Senior Brother Yuan, please come in."
The two of them came to the main hall and sat down as host and guest.
Chen Yuan asked:
"Brother, how did you know where my cave is?"
Senior Brother Yuan smiled and said:
"Junior brother, use your identity jade token to activate the cave's restriction, and it will automatically be registered in the sect's Spiritual Mansion Pavilion. You can find out by asking."
Chen Yuan nodded:
"I see. I am ignorant... Brother, what is the important matter that you are looking for me?"
Senior Brother Yuan's expression became serious:
"I'm here to remind you, Junior Brother, to be careful of Huang's revenge."
Chen Yuan's heart moved:
"What do you mean by this?"
"As far as I know, Huang Yunshang's elder brother Huang Yundao hates you to the core and has threatened to kill you. Junior brother, you must not leave the mountain gate. As long as you are inside the mountain gate, Huang Yundao will have no way to stop you."
Chen Yuan sighed softly:
"Thank you for your reminder, Senior Brother, but I do have to leave the mountain gate."
Senior Brother Yuan was startled:
"Why?"
Chen Yuan smiled bitterly:
"I went to the Equipment Refining Pavilion yesterday and wanted to repair a magical weapon, but there was no equipment refiner to take it. I had no choice but to go to Lingyun Market."
Senior Brother Yuan was surprised:
"Junior brother, have you gone to the Weapon Refining Pavilion?"
"Exactly."
Senior Brother Yuan slapped his thigh, his face full of self-blame:
"Hey! It's my fault for not telling you clearly. The Huang family has two foundation-building cultivators. One of them is called Huang Anhe, who is the manager of the Weapon Refining Pavilion. How can you go to the Weapon Refining Pavilion to repair your magic weapon?"
Chen Yuan's expression changed:
"Is this true? No wonder as soon as I told them my name, those weapon refiners said they had weapons that needed repairing and told me to wait a year or two. It turns out that Huang Anhe was behind this!"
Senior Brother Yuan was puzzled:
"Since the Weapon Refining Pavilion has not completely rejected it, why do you still want to leave the mountain gate? It's just a matter of waiting for a while, what's the big deal?"
Chen Yuan sighed:
"When I entered the sect that day, Senior Brother Yuan mentioned Dongxu Mountain. I learned a little later that if the disciples who entered the sect through the Ascension Conference did not want to serve as outer disciples for ten years, they had to enter the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain to collect spiritual herbs in exchange for foundation-building pills. So I had to repair the magic weapon within two years. Otherwise, let alone collecting spiritual herbs, it would be difficult to even save my life."
Senior Brother Yuan shook his head repeatedly:
"The secret realm of Dongxu Mountain is extremely dangerous. Every time it is opened, countless disciples from various sects are killed or injured. Why would you bother to wade into this muddy water?"
Chen Yuan smiled bitterly:
"Brother, you have been cultivating in a large sect since you were young. You don't know how difficult it is to cultivate independently. I have cultivated hard for dozens of years and have only reached the tenth level of Qi Refining. I barely passed the Ascension Conference and found a chance to build a foundation. If I wait another ten years, the hope of building a foundation is too slim. I can only give it a try."
Senior Brother Yuan sighed:
"Then Junior Brother, you really can only go to Lingyun Market, but if you leave the mountain gate, the Huang family will attack you. What should you do?"
Chen Yuan hesitated and said:
"Don't worry, Senior Brother. The mountain gate is vast. As long as I avoid the eyes and ears of the Huang family, I should be fine."
Brother Yuan shook his head:
"Although the Huang family only has a dozen members in our sect, there are countless immortal cultivation families on good terms with them. When Qi-refining disciples leave the sect, they must have their identities verified by the disciples guarding the mountain gate. Junior Brother Chen doesn't know the inside story, so how can he avoid them?"
Chen Yuan looked embarrassed:
"What should we do?"
Senior Brother Yuan hesitated for a moment and said slowly:
"I do have two good disciples who are in charge of guarding the mountain gate and can cover up Junior Brother Chen's whereabouts. However, if they do so, they will risk offending the Huang family..."
Chen Yuan understood:
"How many spirit stones are needed for this?"
Brother Yuan smiled:
"Not much, just one hundred spirit stones will do."
Chen Yuan lowered his head and thought for a moment, then bowed and said:
"Thank you for your help, but this is a serious matter. Please allow me to think about it and give you a reply."
Senior Brother Yuan smiled and said:
"This matter is not urgent, but my two good friends will be transferred elsewhere in two months. If you are interested, please do not miss the deadline."
