Chapter 1042 - 1040: Weapons
Seeing that the other party had brought out so many Spirit Stone Segments, Lin Feng did not hesitate. His figure flickered, and he appeared in front of Tian Wu and the several Loose Cultivators, and with a wave of his hand, those Spirit Stone Segments vanished. Then he addressed the two, "The shortfall counts as a debt you owe my senior brother. Deliver it within three days, got it?"
Then, with a flash, he appeared beside Fang Gu, pulled him along with the Old Monsters, and they left. In the blink of an eye, the group had disappeared!
As soon as Lin Feng and the others were out of sight, Tian Wu suddenly erupted in blue Gang Qi, chilling the surrounding area to an extreme low temperature, effectively freezing everything around him. His body exuded strong murderous intent, and his eyes glared at the Loose Cultivators as if shooting fire!
Oh no, run...
The Loose Cultivators realized Tian Wu intended to kill them and immediately turned to flee, but the disparity between them and Tian Wu was too great. They hadn’t run far when they were struck by Tian Wu’s Gang Qi and turned into ice sculptures, then were swiftly shattered to pieces by a punch from Tian Wu!
After slaying the Loose Cultivators, Tian Wu’s face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He vanished on the spot. Gathering a hundred Spirit Stone Segments in three days would leave him no choice but to rob others, and he needed to hurry...
Upon arriving outside the Artifact Pavilion, Fang Gu and Lin Feng’s group were astonished by its magnificent architecture; the floating-style stairs, in particular, left them dumbfounded, unable to comprehend how such a thing could be achieved.
"Junior brother, come on in with me. This is my place, quite decent!" At that moment, Fang Gu warmly beckoned them inside. It wasn’t convenient to converse outside, and now that they were at his Artifact Pavilion, he naturally wanted to give his junior brother a proper welcome.
"Okay!" Lin Feng nodded and immediately led the Old Monsters to enter the Artifact Pavilion with Fang Gu.
Once inside, Fang Gu promptly took Lin Feng and the others to the VIP room. Upon entering, Xia Lalan and the children broke into smiles, and then Fang Gu arranged for Lin Feng and the others to sit down and chat.
"Junior brother, you must be from the Secular World, right? How did you end up here?" After settling down, Fang Gu asked first. Almost everyone here was their own, and he really wanted to know how Lin Feng had appeared in the market, something he had been curious about for a while.
"It was my master who sent me to the Xia Family. I’m currently serving as a teacher for the youth group there. This time, I came with Xia Lalan and the children to have a look around the market, and I did not expect to bump into you here," Lin Feng replied to Fang Gu, summarizing the situation.
"Ah... with... with kids?" Fang Gu was stunned to hear Lin Feng’s words, hardly believing his own ears. The master was definitely an inconceivable being in this world, and the junior brother, if not for anything unexpected, must also be of the same caliber. How could he end up going to the Xia Family to look after children, especially on master’s orders? It was very strange!
Could it be that the junior brother is not that powerful yet?
For a moment, Fang Gu looked puzzled and scrutinized Lin Feng seriously. But this examination was shocking because he realized that he could not see through his junior brother’s cultivation. He had a special Secret Technique that allowed him to discern another person’s cultivation level. He was now at the Middle Stage of the Infinitesimal Realm, and he could even identify those at the higher stages of the Infinitesimal Realm!
But he couldn’t discern anything about his junior brother. The only explanation was that his junior brother’s skills were profoundly inscrutable, possibly even surpassing his own! For a moment, he really did not understand why their teacher would have arranged for the junior brother to take on such a responsibility; with the junior brother’s capabilities, he wasn’t just overqualified for teaching the youth group—none of the adult group deserved to be taught by him!
"There’s nothing strange about it. The master originally arranged for me to teach the adult group, but I found those adults to be beyond help, so I took it upon myself to teach the youth group instead," Lin Feng explained casually, understanding Fang Gu’s thoughts. He truly had no interest in teaching those who were beyond improvement, preferring the company of the children.
"So that’s what happened. Then who are these three?" Fang Gu nodded, now understanding why the junior brother was taking care of children. He was right; with the junior brother’s strength, it was impossible for him to be in charge of the youth group—it had been the junior brother’s own decision. Then his curiosity grew about the identity of the three Old Monsters; until now, he had been too preoccupied talking with his junior brother to ask for an introduction.
"They are masters from the outside world, the Secular World. This is Nangong He, the patriarch of the Nangong Clan; this is Leng Hao, my brother-in-law; and this man is the Old Monster who presides over Capital City," Lin Feng, having realized Fang Gu’s question, introduced the three Old Monsters simply.
What! Brother-in-law!
Xia Lalan’s mind swirled unintentionally as a listener when she heard Lin Feng say this. She hadn’t expected Lin Feng to have a family already, thinking to herself that he looked quite young to have already settled down.
What am I thinking about!
Just as she thought of this, Xia Lalan once again froze. She felt baffled by her own curiosity; why should she be interested in whether Lin Feng was married or not? Yet, when she tried to dismiss the matter, it kept popping up in her mind, which left her speechless and at a loss as to why she cared so much about Lin Feng’s marital status...
"Welcome, I’m Lin Feng’s senior brother, Fang Gu. Please make yourselves at home," Fang Gu said with a smile, greeting the Old Monster and his two companions after Lin Feng’s introduction. It was clear that these three must be close to Lin Feng, otherwise, he wouldn’t have brought them along to the market.
"Senior Fang, sorry to intrude!"
"Senior Fang, hello!"
"Senior Fang, sorry for disturbing you!"
After Lin Feng’s introduction and hearing Fang Gu’s greeting, the Old Monster and his companions hurriedly returned the gesture with due respect. Not to mention anything else, Fang Gu’s age alone demanded respect as he was visibly older than the Old Monster and a true powerhouse, as well as the owner of the Artifact Pavilion. From any perspective, their respect for Fang Gu was immense.
"We are all one family here, no need for such formalities; please, feel at ease," Fang Gu said with a laugh after seeing the Old Monster and his companions being so polite. As they were all amongst friends, such excessive formality was truly unnecessary.
"Lanlan, how’s your grandfather doing? These little ones are also quite impressive," Fang Gu turned to Xia Lalan and the children, speaking casually. He had lived for many years and could see things for what they were. Although Xia Lalan appeared unaffected on the surface, he had felt her heartbeat quicken when Lin Feng referred to his "little brother-in-law," the implications of which were self-evident.
However, he did not want to lift the veil on this subtle matter at the moment, believing it was better to let things take their natural course. Xia Lalan was a fine girl, and he knew her family background well enough; she was quite a match for his disciple. If she and his disciple were together, that would indeed be wonderful.
"Grandfather Fang, hello, my grandfather is in good health. He mentioned he plans to visit you soon," Xia Lalan responded to Fang Gu’s greeting, snapping back to reality. She smiled and greeted him with a bow.
At that moment, the children all bowed to Fang Gu as well, feeling a tinge of excitement. Fang Gu was the owner of the Artifact Pavilion, and since Teacher Lin knew Fang Gu, didn’t that mean they could acquire weapons from the Artifact Pavilion itself? This was more than fantastic! With this thought, their eyes sparkled with anticipation, as if they couldn’t wait to pick out some weapons right away...
"These little ones are quite courteous, hahaha... Disciple, why have you come to the market this time?" With the children respectfully bowing to him, Fang Gu’s eyes brightened, and he laughed, pleasantly surprised by their manners. It was indeed impressive.
Then he quickly shifted the topic. The disciple bringing Xia Lalan and the children meant they were certainly here to buy something. If there was a need for his assistance, a word from him would suffice to avoid having his disciple run around needlessly.
"I’ve come to the market this time to get some weapons for these kids and to find some suitable armaments for the Old Monster and his companions," Lin Feng candidly revealed his reason for coming to the market to his senior brother, Fang Gu. Initially, he hadn’t thought that his senior brother would be the Pavilion Master. Now it seemed that acquiring the weapons would be much simpler.
"That’s very easy," Fang Gu laughed upon hearing Lin Feng’s purpose. The Artifact Pavilion specialized in weapon forging, so weapons were a simple matter for him. After uttering those words, he clapped his hands three times, and Huang Rui immediately walked in from outside.
"Find some weapons suitable for these children," Fang Gu instructed Huang Rui simply. The weapons needed by these children were quite basic compared to his inventory; some surplus stock from before would be enough for them.
"Yes!" Huang Rui promptly acknowledged the command and immediately went to carry out Fang Gu’s order. He realized that the people before him had an extraordinary relationship with Fang Gu. With an order given, he naturally went straight to work!
"Disciple, I’m so happy to see you. We must have a good drink together tonight."
"No problem!"
"That’s settled, hahaha..."
...
After Huang Rui left, Fang Gu began to chat casually with Lin Feng. Only a few sentences were exchanged when Huang Rui returned, pushing a cart into the room, which had several weapons laid upon it.
Unable to contain their excitement any longer, the children rushed over to the cart, surrounding it to take a closer look. The weapons glistened with a cold light and featured unique designs; they were clearly not ordinary. They were so excited they could barely speak. If these weapons could be theirs, how wonderful that would be!
