When Lin Yi met Mu Qianqian, she also noticed him.
Mu Qianqian's beautiful eyes sparkled, and then she gracefully strode over, smiling sweetly, "This friend doesn't seem to be from my Great Wilderness County, does he?"
“At this time of year, there must be quite a few people from outside the Great Wilderness County, right? Why should Miss Mu care?” Lin Yi said with a faint smile.
Mu Qianqian smiled upon hearing this, her beautiful eyes sweeping over Lin Yi as she said with a smile, "Since you know my name, young master, shouldn't you also tell me yours?"
"Lin Yi," Lin Yi replied without hiding anything.
"So it's Young Master Lin." Upon hearing this, a charming smile appeared on Mu Qianqian's pretty face. Just as she was about to speak, her delicate eyebrows suddenly furrowed slightly.
It turned out that it was Hua Zong from the Yin Kui Sect who had arrived.
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow, said goodbye to Mu Qianqian, and left under Hua Zong's somewhat gloomy gaze.
Chapter 103 The Evolution of the Heavenly Scale Ancient Halberd: An Unexpected Twist! [Please Read On]
After leaving the auction house, Lin Yi headed straight for the southern part of the city.
Before the auction began, Lin Yi had already made an appointment and was now preparing to go to the event to upgrade the Heavenly Scale Ancient Halberd.
In this Great Puppet City, the highest-ranking talisman master is a mid-level spirit talisman master surnamed Cheng.
This intermediate-level spirit talisman master is extremely famous in Great Puppet City.
The Wanbaolou, where he was stationed, was one of the three major powers in the city, second only to the Yin Kui Sect, the Great Demon Sect, and the Martial Alliance.
Wanbaolou was located in the southern district of Dakui City. Lin Yi headed south and soon arrived at his destination.
"Could you find Master Cheng for me? I've already made an appointment," Lin Yi said to a maid after entering the Wanbaolou lobby.
Upon hearing Lin Yi's words, the maid was surprised for a moment, and then quickly led the way.
Led by the maid, Lin Yi soon met Master Cheng.
"Master Cheng, this junior is Lin Yi. I made an appointment with you in advance," Lin Yi said, bowing respectfully to Master Cheng.
"Let's get down to business," Master Cheng glanced at Lin Yi, his voice calm and collected.
Lin Yi nodded, and without saying any more words, he clenched his fist, and the Heavenly Scale Halberd appeared. He lightly stomped the ground and said, "Master, this halberd of mine is not yet fully forged, so I would like to ask you to help me complete the final step."
"Provide your own materials, plus a labor fee of 50,000 Pure Yuan Pills," Master Cheng said calmly after glancing at the Heavenly Scale Ancient Halberd.
"This junior is ready," Lin Yi nodded with a smile, and took out a Qiankun bag and handed it to Master Cheng.
Master Cheng took the Qiankun bag, didn't examine it, then tossed it into a cauldron behind him and said indifferently:
"The refining process will take three days. You may stay here during these three days, but you must not make any noise. Otherwise, you will have to leave on your own. Also, there is a 30% failure rate in the refining process. If it fails, all the materials in the ancient halberd will be destroyed."
Lin Yi nodded slowly; he was already clear about these rules.
For the next three days, Lin Yi stayed not far from Master Cheng, silently watching Master Cheng refine the ancient halberd.
Lin Yi carefully observed Master Cheng's forging process, silently memorizing it in his mind, hoping it would come in handy when he forged weapons in the future.
On the third day, the forging of the ancient halberd finally reached its final step.
Master Cheng's eyes turned solemn. He then clenched his fist, and the spiritual fire enveloping the Heavenly Scale Ancient Halberd shrank violently.
The rare metals that Lin Yi had prepared beforehand had already been refined into liquid.
As the spiritual fire was compressed intensely, the molten metal on the ancient halberd was actually forced directly into the halberd.
Instantly, a dazzling light burst forth from the Heavenly Scale Ancient Halberd, piercing through the surrounding mental prison and leaving a bottomless black hole in the ground.
"What a powerful magical treasure!"
Upon seeing this, Master Cheng's eyes flashed with surprise. He then reached out and grabbed the ancient halberd, which was bursting with brilliant light.
"Buzz!"
A rapid buzzing sound emanated continuously from the ancient halberd. Eventually, the buzzing sound seemed to gradually evolve into an extremely deep and peculiar dragon roar.
"build!"
While Master Cheng was still reeling from the shock, a brilliant light shone from the Heavenly Scale Halberd, directly shattering his mental power hand. An extremely sharp beam of light shot out, blasting the ceiling to pieces.
"come over!"
Lin Yi hurriedly waved his hand, and the dazzling light rushed over, finally appearing obediently in his hand.
Lin Yi gripped the Heavenly Scale Ancient Halberd and stomped heavily on the ground. The light emanating from it slowly dimmed, and a look of amazement appeared in his eyes as he looked at it.
"Not bad!"
The Heavenly Scale Ancient Halberd is now even stronger than Wang Yan's Great Luo Golden Spear.
"What a wonderful treasure!"
Just then, the tightly closed door was suddenly pushed open, and a figure walked in, his fiery gaze fixed on the ancient halberd in Lin Yi's hand, his eyes surging with intense greed.
The person who suddenly barged in was none other than Hua Zong of the Yin Kui Sect.
"Hua Zong, do you even know the rules? This is my Wanbao Tower, not your Yin Kui Sect!"
Master Cheng glared at Hua Zong, who had suddenly barged in, and roared angrily.
Hearing Master Cheng's angry shout, Hua Zong smiled and then cupped his hands insincerely to Master Cheng, saying with a smile, "Hehe, I'm sorry, I sensed that the fluctuations here were too great, and I couldn't resist my curiosity, so I disturbed you for a moment. I hope Master Cheng won't take offense."
Despite his dismissive words, Master Cheng's eyes still held considerable anger. He coldly said, "Please leave! If you ever break the rules of Wanbaolou again, even if your father is an elder of the Yin Kui Sect, Wanbaolou will blacklist you."
Hua Zong smiled, gave Lin Yi a deep look, and then turned and left.
"Your ancient halberd has been successfully refined, and this deal can be considered complete," Master Cheng said calmly, turning his gaze to Lin Yi.
"Also, a word of advice: leave Great Puppet City as soon as possible."
Lin Yi nodded slightly, thanked Master Cheng, then put away the Heavenly Scale Ancient Halberd and turned to leave.
Lin Yi remained calm as he walked out of the hall and down the corridor. At the end of the corridor, he saw several figures guarding the area, the leader of whom was Hua Zong.
Upon seeing Lin Yi appear, a smile appeared on Hua Zong's effeminate face as he said, "My friend, it's said that you don't know someone until you fight them."
"The little dispute at the auction was quite enjoyable. I am Hua Zong, a protector of the Yin Kui Sect stationed in Da Kui City. May I ask your esteemed surname, friend?"
"Lin Yi," Lin Yi glanced at Hua Zong, who had a forced smile, and said indifferently.
"Hehe, so it's Brother Lin Yi," Hua Zong chuckled, then his gaze focused on Lin Yi as he spoke.
"That Spirit Nourishing Futon should have some good effects. Since Brother Lin Yi is interested, I won't take it from him."
"However, that ancient halberd from before seems to be quite good. I happen to be in need of a suitable weapon right now. If Brother Lin Yi is willing to part with it, I will definitely give you a very satisfactory price."
"Not for sale," Lin Yi said calmly, glancing at Hua Zong.
"Boy, it's your good fortune that my young master has taken a liking to your things, so don't be ungrateful!" Upon seeing Lin Yi's reply, a middle-aged man with a gloomy face next to Hua Zong sneered.
"Hey, Hua San, watch your mouth. Brother Lin Yi is just considering it," Hua Zong said to the middle-aged man with an even wider smile.
"Right? Brother Lin Yi?"
Lin Yi said indifferently, "No need to consider it. I've already said it, I'm not selling."
"Hehe, it seems Brother Lin Yi is not willing to be friends with me," Hua Zong's smile froze for a moment, his voice carrying a hint of coldness.
The argument between the two parties attracted Master Cheng's attention.
With Master Cheng's intervention, the conflict was temporarily suspended.
"If you change your mind, feel free to come to me. I never want things to get worse. Of course, if someone is really out of touch with reality, then perhaps... my talisman puppet will be interested in your corpse!"
Seeing Master Cheng's intervention, Hua Zong had no choice but to leave with his men, but before leaving, he left behind this sentence.
Lin Yi thanked Master Cheng, then turned and left Wanbaolou, heading back to the inn. He planned to finish studying the Spirit Nourishing Futon before leaving Da Kui City…
Chapter 104 Ambush Outside the City: Hua Zong's Shock! [Please Read On]
Lin Yi was very clear about the Spirit Nourishing Futon. He tried it more than ten times that day, simultaneously inputting spiritual power and Yuan power, and achieved a balance. Through the futon, a powerful energy was formed, which he named Yuan Essence Power.
The day after studying the Spirit Nourishing Futon, Lin Yi left the inn and headed straight for the city gate of Great Puppet City, preparing to leave.
Not long after Lin Yi left Da Kui City, he suddenly sensed a chill in a dense forest within the city.
"Shhhhhh!"
Arrows, reeking of blood, shot out of the dense forest with lightning speed.
"Humph!"
Sensing the approaching arrow, Lin Yi snorted coldly. His natal talisman in his Niwan Palace trembled, releasing a powerful spiritual force that formed an invisible protective layer around his body.
Under the influence of mental power, all the arrows that were shot at them were frozen in mid-air.
"go with!"
Immediately, Lin Yi's mind stirred, and he used his mental power to control the arrows, causing them to reflect back the way they came!
"Ahhh!"
The next instant, a series of screams rang out from the dense forest.
"I never expected you to be a spirit talisman master too..."
The dense forest ahead trembled, and Hua Zong, leading three figures, flashed out with a somewhat gloomy expression.
Hua Zong had originally brought more than a dozen men, but now, all of the weaker men were hit by his own arrows and died on the spot!
Because those arrows were coated with a deadly poison that would kill upon contact with blood!
Now, he only has two subordinates at the Great Perfection of the Shaping Realm and one subordinate at the Lesser Perfection of the Shaping Realm available to him.
Lin Yi said calmly, "There are many things you haven't thought of."
"Boy, do you think you can escape Protector Hua's grasp like this? The reason we didn't make a move inside the city was simply because we were worried about the Great Demon Sect and the Martial Alliance interfering. Otherwise, you wouldn't even be able to step out of the city gates!"
Beside Hua Zong, a powerful expert at the Great Perfection of the Shaping Realm with a hooked nose stared at Lin Yi with a gloomy expression and sneered.
"Boy, you'd better surrender obediently to avoid suffering. With your strength, thinking you can escape from us is just wishful thinking!" Another powerful expert at the Great Perfection of the Shaping Realm also sneered.
Lin Yi sneered, "Enough with the nonsense. Since you've chosen to ambush me, be prepared to be killed instead!"
"You're courting death! Do it! Kill him!" Hua Zong's eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing this, and then his voice suddenly turned sinister.
"boom!"
