Devour

Chapter 334 Golden Signboard

Hearing the affirmative answer, Xing Jue showed a look of joy on his face, bowed his head and thanked him: "Thank you for your help, brother. I am grateful!"

Cheng Bai thought for a moment and said, "I can use 600 kilograms of Lihuo Youjin to forge a sword for you, but I need to find a Danling that is suitable for this weapon. It will take some time to complete it depending on the situation."

Xing Jue was overjoyed and said, "A good sword is just around the corner. I am willing to wait."

After sending Xing Jue out, Cheng Bai returned to the house to select enough burning iron, black gold, and flying shadow stone to put into the Four Symbols Cauldron. Similar work had been completed many times in the Battle Plains, and it didn't take long to refine and shape a sword embryo.

Cheng Bai used the power of the Phoenix to hold up the long sword and slowly float it out of the mouth of the cauldron. He observed every detail and said with satisfaction: "The long sword made of premium Lihuo Youjin is only about 10% of the volume of ordinary ingots, but the quality is not reduced at all. It's perfect!"

Afterwards, he successively cast three prototypes of Lihuo Youjin objects, which were the three most important tools for miners - chisel, pickaxe and shovel.

Cheng Bai looked at the result and nodded slightly, saying, "This is a long-standing project. I have been improving it over and over again but it has always been unsatisfactory. This version is much better!"

There was a crisp and light "tapping" sound outside the door.

The familiar rhythm made Cheng Bai realize that his lover was coming. He immediately put away the embryo of his magic weapon and hurriedly tidied up the Zhenwu stone bed.

When I opened the door, the intoxicating fragrance of osmanthus wafted in my face. A girl slipped in from outside the door as lightly as a swimming fish, wrapped in a crimson cloak, her graceful curves faintly visible under the cover.

Cheng Bai closed the door and turned around and said, "I was just planning to make a knife for Juan..."

Ningxiang rushed forward and covered his mouth with her bare hands. The crimson cloak gently rubbed against his soft skin and slid to the ground. She said in a gentle voice, "Let's do it tomorrow. I want to help you wash it tonight... Yeah!"

Before he finished speaking, Cheng Bai could no longer contain his passion. He put his arms around her smooth and well-proportioned waist, held her in his arms, and walked slowly towards the Zhenwu stone bed in the soft light.

The fluttering woman snuggled in her lover's arms, gently caressing his strong chest, and drawing small circles on it with her slender and elegant fingers.

Cheng Bai saw her lips slightly parted, hesitant to speak, and couldn't help asking, "What are you thinking about?"

Ningxiang whispered softly, "The city-breaking stick you gave me is just for the time being. When will you forge me a stick that suits my taste?"

Cheng Bai said with a sly smile: "Do you still need to refine it? I've already got one that you like best!"

Ningxiang's pretty face blushed like a ripe apple, and she explained in a panic: "I'm not talking about that, I want...really...ah..."

Cheng Bai bit her round and small earlobe gently and comforted her softly, "Don't worry! We must meet good materials and look for someone who matches you."

The orioles sing and breathe softly, and the spring breeze brings fragrance every night.

Before she knew it, it was almost the next morning, and the satisfied woman walked out of the room wearing another set of brand new Biling armor, which set off her graceful figure.

She stroked his cheek with a silly smile, still intoxicated in the sweet time of love, until the sound of the morning bell in the monastery woke her from her dream.

Ningxiang looked around carefully to make sure there was no one around, then hurried to her room.

The sky gradually darkens and it is already the You hour.

Cheng Bai walked out of the room slowly, coughed lightly and asked, "Is Jing'er here?"

Shangguan Jing'er came quickly from the nearby temple, bowed and asked, "Master, what do you want?"

Cheng Bai took out the finished dim light blades from the Sumeru mustard seed. Each blade was three feet and one inch long and was suspended in the sky, almost invisible.

Shangguan Jing'er exclaimed in surprise: "Are those Sister Yun's double swords? They look quite different."

Cheng Bai was not satisfied, and entrusted it to his apprentice, saying: "The Danling of this pair of precious swords is not ideal, and it cannot reach the ultimate goal. Fortunately, she added all the gold and water she got to upgrade it to a wonderful soul weapon, which is not weaker than Yong Yao's Golden Light Mace. Take it to Yun Juan for me, and I will go to the Enci Palace for a visit."

"Yes, Master." Shangguan Jing'er respectfully took the knife and stepped back.

There are no street vendors around the Enci Temple, and the streets are clean, tidy and orderly. The scale and number of the separatist facades in the temple are no less than those in the Yuzhen Temple.

This is the famous spiritual medicine market in Shanhui City. People who come and go are all powerful people, but they will condescend to ask for something from others.

The voices of two men were heard from outside the palace gate.

"Saint Lord Chen Da, please take care and we will discuss this another day." The old man with a rosy face escorted a middle-aged man with a round face and big ears out the door.

Chen Da frowned as if he had a lot on his mind. He clasped his fists and bowed again and again, saying, "Master Jiang Jie, can you please be flexible for once?"

Jiang Jie smiled and said, "Chen Shengzhu, please bear with me. If everyone is like you and puts their name on it but doesn't pay, the alchemy furnace might break into pieces! There is a long way to go, we can talk about it after we have enough money."

Chen Da smiled awkwardly and said, "I've been paying three million taels of silver per year as an elite member for thirty years in a row, and the club has drained all of it away! Can't they just extend the membership fee once for the sake of our friendship?"

Jiang Jie smiled and said, "All the Saint Lords and Supreme Emperors are like this! This is not my fault. The Dan Ding Association has always been the most trustworthy. The key lies with Saint Lord Chen himself."

"Let me ask some close friends to help me think of a solution." Chen Da had no choice but to leave in disappointment.

Jiang Jie just put away his smile, turned around and saw Cheng Bai approaching slowly, and immediately greeted him with a bright smile: "Isn't this the Holy Lord, the head of the Heaven Devouring Sect? What a rare guest!"

Cheng Bai was slightly surprised and asked in astonishment: "Senior, do you still remember me?"

Jiang Jie laughed and said cheerfully, "The Holy Lord of the White Emperor climbed the Ladder of All Things and forged the Sword of Light. His deeds spread throughout all the major sword sects. If I didn't know about it, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the reputation of 'Six Blessings in the World'? At that time, I saw you from a distance and knew that you were a rare talent!"

Cheng Bai smiled and said, "Senior Jiang's eyes are as sharp as lightning. Who is the senior who just left?"

Jiang Jie said calmly, "The Purple Void Sword Sect is slightly inferior to the top ten sword sects. Its head, Saint Master Chen Da, can be considered a blessed man. Unfortunately, his condition has not been good in recent years."

Cheng Bai thought for a moment and said, "A sect leader of this status should have everything he needs. He must have come to the Grace Palace to ask for elixirs, right?"

Jiang Jie twisted his beard and sighed, "Isn't it? The lifelong pursuit of cultivators is to improve their cultivation and seek immortality. It is difficult for them to make any progress at their level. Except for me who is willing to lend a helping hand, everyone else is indifferent!"

As he spoke, he looked at Cheng Bai with his eyes and asked, "Does Saint Baidi need anything here?"

Cheng Bai said simply and clearly: "I have an appointment with a good friend, so I came here to meet him."

Jiang Jie smiled and said, "There is no one in the Enci Palace that I don't know well. Who is the friend you are meeting? Why don't you show the way for the Holy Lord?"

Cheng Bai thought, "A Pu said he was waiting at Tianxia Liufu, Jiang Jie must know the customers coming and going in his store." He said, "A Pu is the inner sect guardian of Xiyu Sword Sect."

Jiang Jie was slightly stunned when he heard this, but then he reacted and continued, "Oh? He's been eating and drinking in the store all day, so he must be waiting for the Holy Lord Baidi."

The two of them strolled through the Grace Hall while chatting.

Cheng Bai saw a newly opened small shop nearby from afar, with a sign that read "Oh Xian Fang" hanging on it, and asked casually, "That shop has a rather exotic feel, and there seems to be a small and exquisite figure in the door and window, what does it do for a living?"

Jiang Jie laughed softly and said, "Oh Xianfang is a special workshop of the demon race, mainly dealing in various rare medicinal materials. They spent a lot of effort to rely on the Dan Ding Association to become a regular member, and just moved into the Shanhui City."

Cheng Bai asked curiously, "I didn't expect that Dan Ding Club is an important channel for entering Shanhui City. Jiang Longtou really has the ability to support the sky!"

Jiang Jie was in the mood to explain in detail: "The Five Continents Spiritual Pharmacists have always regarded the Dan Ding Society as their benchmark. Even if we look at all walks of life, only the Changsheng Society can be compared with our sect. The Youxia Society, the Tumin Society, and the Guimi Society are actually slightly inferior!"

Cheng Bai couldn't hide his curiosity and asked, "The guild has so-called regular members. Are there different special identities?"

Jiang Jie continued, "The membership system is flourishing in the Danding Association, and it is at its peak! Other guilds and sects are vying to emulate it, but none of them can match it. It only takes one million taels of gold to join the association, and you can enjoy many conveniences. When internal precious medicines, spiritual roots, and elixirs are released, whether it is circulation or priority buyout, you can seize the initiative everywhere!"

Cheng Bai understood what he meant and said with a smile: "If I pay it off once, will it be valid for life?"

The million gold price is just a drop in the bucket for him, so he just donates it to the local industry to help his own business. However, the situation is not that simple!
