NOVEL NEXT Chapter 23: The Clown
“Artifacts? Has Lord Luo already overcome the flaws in the Demon Sect Artifact Refining technique?” As a master refiner, Elder Yang quickly picked up on the key point of Luo Wusheng’s words, unlike the restless crowd behind him.
This discovery even made him forget his previous excitement and left him in shock.
Improving an ancient Artifact Refining technique passed down from the past? This is something that every Refiner in the world dreams of achieving!
Faced with Yang Zhen’s question, Luo Wusheng smiled and said nothing, seemingly acknowledging it.
Yang Zhen gasped in surprise.
“If Lord Luo really improved the ancient Artifact Refining technique, he can be called a master Refiner based on this alone!”
He bowed to Luo Wusheng again: “I have never heard of Lord Luo’s involvement in the path of Artifact Refining before. When I first heard about Lord’s closed-door Artifact refining, I still had some doubts in my heart— but now, it seems that the talent of the demon sect Holy Saint is truly rare in the world, and he even has such talent in the path of Artifact Refining!”
Although he has been famous for many years, he can only make Middle-Grade Artifacts at most, even after more than a hundred years of immersion in Artifact refining.
Looking at Luo Wusheng, who is only 18 years old, he can already make Middle-Grade Artifacts, and the power of these Middle-Grade Artifacts can even compete with High-Grade Artifacts.
He even did something that he has been immersed in Artifact refining for a hundred years and can’t do!
The Holy Saint of the Demon sect is simply too terrifying!
The onlookers also realized what great achievement Luo Wusheng had accomplished from Yang Zhen’s explanation.
In this case, there is no reason not to come seven days later, even if the Demon Sect Holy Saint words are exaggerated.
After all, who doesn’t love free stuff?
“Since Lord Luo said so, I will definitely come to watch the ceremony at the reopening of the Demon Artifact Pavilion seven days later!”
“Lord Luo deserves to be the demon prince, generous and dignified, with extraordinary talent!”
“My daughter happens to be of marriageable age this year and is currently waiting for marriage at home. She is as beautiful as a flower. If Lord Luo does not mind, she can be Your Holiness’ bride—”
The last voice disappeared before it finished speaking.
‘How annoying’
Bai Xiaoyao thought to herself and withdrew the bloody thin thread flying out of her fingers.
However, everyone present realized one thing.
The Demon Artifact Pavilion is really going to rise.
So many people’s eyes moved to a certain person who has almost no presence.
As the Head of the Taoist Artifact Pavilion, Lin Qingfeng is moos id raging, and he behaved a little crazy.
He kept muttering the word “impossible” over and over again while hunching over, and his face became extremely ugly.
However, even if he didn’t want to face it, everything that happened around him was forcing him to accept the facts in front of him.
Originally, in his eyes, Luo Wusheng, who only had better talent in cultivation than himself, has now transformed into a master Artifact Refiner who is many times stronger than him.
He himself is also an Artifact Refiner, but he has never successfully made a Low-Grade Artifact.
At this time, Yang Zhen, the Chief Refiner who usually looks down on him, was respectful to Luo Wusheng.
The crowd around him is even more eager to flatter Luo Wusheng, as if the Demon Artifact Pavilion will soon become the first Artifact Refining Pavilion in Royal City, replacing his Taoist Artifact Pavilion.
How is this possible?
The Taoist Artifact Pavilion has been standing in the Royal City for so many years, how could it be surpassed by the Demon Artifact Pavilion, which has been hanging on the edge of collapsing for years?
Maybe Luo Wusheng’s ability to refine such powerful Artifacts was merely due to sheer dumb luck? Maybe he used some kind of super special one-time method to make the Artifact, and used it as a gimmick?
How could the Demon Artifact Pavilion be a match for the Taoist Artifact Pavilion?
Even if that Demon Sect Holy Saint is really a hidden genius in Artifact refinement, Lin Qingfeng suddenly remembered the real purpose of his visit to the Demon Artifact Pavillion today.
Right! He came here today to invite both Luo Wusheng and Bai Xiaoyao to become a Guest Elder of the Taoist Artifact Pavilion!
If this Demon Sect Holy Saint is really a genius in refining Artifacts, as long as Lin Qingfeng is able to make him walk under his banner, then his status in both the world and the Taoist Sect will definitely rise!
Thinking of this, he looked at Bai Xiaoyao beside him and said: “Um— Miss Bai, about the Guest Elder matter…”
His words made the four staff members of the Demon Artifact Pavilion, who were still immersed in joy, suddenly tense.
But Bai Xiaoyao smiled and tilted her head.
“What Guest Elder? I don’t quite understand what Pavillion Head Lin is talking about~”
Lin Qingfeng widened his eyes.
“N-Naturally, it’s the agreement we made earlier, for you to come to our Taoist Artifact Pavilion as Guest Elders. Didn’t you already agree…”
“Hm? How weird, when did I say that I agree?”
The Demon Sect Holy Maiden smiled and asked back.
Lin Qingfeng opened his mouth, but couldn’t say a word.
Because Bai Xiaoyao didn’t really promise anything to him at all, she just brought him to this place to meet Luo Wusheng.
The four officers of the Demon Artifact Pavilion were delighted to hear this.
“Is the Holy Maiden is also going to be staying in the Demon Artifact Pavilion?” Asked Hu Dingtian, he was thrilled.
“Wherever Senior Brother is, I’ll be there,” Bai Xiaoyao replied with a smile.
“But— but the Demon Artifact Pavilion can’t give you anything! The Taoist Artifact Pavilion can give you much more than them! Not just spirit stones, but even the Artifacts of my Taoist Artifact Pavilion…” Lin Qingfeng’s breathing became a bit rapid, but Bai Xiaoyao just glanced at him indifferently.
“Pavilion Head Lin may not understand the status of the Holy Saint and Holy Maiden in the Demon Sect, at the very least, regarding spirit stones and Artifacts, the number I can use in my Little Demon Domain alone far exceeds the value of your entire Taoist Artifact Pavilion. If I cared about those things, I wouldn’t have come to the capital city at all.”
Hearing Bai Xiaoyao’s words, Lin Qingfeng felt like he had been struck by lightning and his face turned pale.
But he still had a last bit of stubbornness, with a trembling lips he said, “But don’t you have other missions in the capital city? It’s inevitable that you’ll be distracted in the Demon Artifact Pavilion, whereas my Taoist Artifact Pavilion can give you the greatest degree of freedom…”
“Hmm? Oh, that thing.” Bai Xiaoyao was taken aback before remembering what the young man had said, then blinked cutely. “That was a lie to trick you.”
Lin Qingfeng’s world collapsed.
He had thought he was still in control, feeling pleased with himself for his clever plans.
But it turned out that the jester was himself?
Even the four officers of the Demon Artifact Pavilion, who had an unfavorable view of him, looked at him with a hint of pity.
The name of their own Holy Maiden’s as a demoness was well deserved.
Even the face of Old Yang, who was standing ahead of them, for a moment, showed a trace of embarrassment.
With his own cultivation at the Golden Core realm, he could naturally hear the words of the people behind him.
This kid was still daydreaming, he is really embarrassing their Taoist Artifact Pavilion.
Why was there such a big gap between their own pavilion head and the others?
Old Yang sighed inwardly, then bowed to Luo Wusheng.
“If the Pavilion Head Luo wants to reorganize the Demon Artifact Pavilion, then I won’t disturb you. Let’s talk again in seven days.”
Seeing Luo Wusheng nod, he picked up the now lifeless Lin Qingfeng, activated his spiritual energy, and disappeared into the crowd.
With someone taking the lead, the onlookers also politely bid farewell by bowing their hands.
And they all expressed that they would like to come and observe the ceremony at the Demon Artifact Pavilion seven days later.
Finally, only the members of the Demon sect and the two Golden-Ranked members of the Six Gate Bureau remained in the crowd.
