Chapter 68 Wanjin Building

Longyuan City, East Market.

The several crisscrossing streets were crowded with people, not only people from the Yin Dynasty, but also merchants from the Dongyi countries and the South China Sea countries, who were walking through the streets or setting up stalls on the ground, shouting out their strange and exotic items.

Those who can own a store in the East Market are all powerful and wealthy businessmen, and Wanjinlou is one of the more eye-catching stores among these many stores.

Not only is the building six stories high and towering, but its shape is also bizarre, with its shape resembling a rugged mountain, and its design is very unique.

Opposite Wanjin Building is a luxurious restaurant. Several young people are gathered in a private room on the third floor of the restaurant.

Li Mo and Liang Yue pushed the door open and entered.

As soon as he entered the room, the first person Liang Yue saw was Senior Sister Wen. She was sitting in the middle, still dressed in white, like a bright moon.

Another person who stood out was a young man sitting against the wall with his eyes closed.

There seemed to be something wrong with his eyes, as they were not open. He was wearing a green gauze dress with a plain white lining. He had an elegant face and long, cloud-like hair.

He looked like a blind musician invited to perform, the only thing missing was a erhu.

Xu Luzhi, whom Liang Yue knew, was not there. Sitting next to Wen Yifan was another bright girl. She had long, fluffy, curly hair like seaweed, fair skin, deep eye sockets, a high nose bridge, and fiery red lips, with a bit of exotic beauty.

Shang Yunhai was sitting at the table. When he saw Liang Yue coming over, he nodded slightly.

There were some dishes on the table, but they were untouched, so it was obvious that they were not there to eat.

"Junior Brother Liang, let me introduce her to you." Li Mo raised his hand naturally and pointed at the bright and beautiful girl. "This girl is called Qiao Caiwei, the descendant of the Ma Yi lineage. We usually call her Da Qiao. She is very good at calculating the heavens and the earth, but she can't figure out when she will get married."

"Li Mo! Are you itching for trouble again?" The girl called Da Qiao rolled her eyes.

"Briefly." Li Mo stuck out his tongue at her.

Da Qiao smoothed her hair and said to Liang Yue, "I heard Senior Sister and Senior Brother Shang mention you before. I didn't expect you to be so handsome."

Liang Yue smiled politely.

Li Mo leaned in and whispered, "She is a bit of a nymphomaniac. Handsome guys like us should remember to stay away from her."

"Don't think I can't hear you!" Da Qiao flipped her hand and threw a teacup over.

"Hey——" Li Mo held out a yellow talisman, which turned into a swirling wind wall, caught the teacup steadily, and put it back on the table: "How can you smash other people's things?"

After a few words of quarreling, Li Mo pointed to the young man with closed eyes by the wall and said, "This is Mo Qiuren, the descendant of Bai Shi's lineage. He has extremely high attainments in weapon refining and array techniques. If you need anything, feel free to ask him. Although he can't see, his brain is the most useful."

Although Mo Qiuren was blind, he still accurately captured Liang Yue's position and smiled at him, "Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you." Liang Yue also returned the greeting.

"Lin Fenghe should be there too, but we don't know which rooftop he is on, so let's not look for him for now." Li Mo said again.

"Haha." Liang Yue also laughed when he heard that.

The Zhuxie Yamen was established by Chen Su, a member of the Yin-Yang lineage, who called on the eight Xuanmen lines to form the Zhuxie Yamen. The main force was the young people recommended by each of the eight lines. Although they looked young, each of them represented an important lineage in the world.

At this point, Liang Yue had met all the eight lineages of the Zhuxie Yamen.

After greeting everyone, he looked at Wen Yifan and asked, "Senior Sister Wen, why did you ask me to come here?"

"I want you to do me a favor." Senior Sister Wen said concisely.

Liang Yue felt a little happy in his heart.

Among so many young geniuses here, is there something that requires me to be called here specifically for help?

Shang Yunhai continued, "You should know something about Wu Mozi. He was originally the chief formation master of the Ministry of Industry, but he secretly contacted the Nine Yang spies and wanted to escape to Guxu City. The last time the Nine Yang spies' lair was destroyed by us, he immediately disappeared. The court has spent a lot of effort to catch him, but there is still no trace of him."

"However, Longyuan City is surrounded by formations set up by the High Priest himself. It is impossible for him to enter or leave using the teleportation formation. The various departments have sent people to closely monitor the city gates. He should not have had the opportunity to leave the city yet."

"Da Qiao has deduced many times that he is always in Longyuan City. Today we received news that his junior fellow apprentice Wu Yuzi is the owner of Wanjin Building, and Wu Mozi is likely hiding here as well."

"So we need someone to pretend to be a customer and go in to test the waters." Shang Yunhai finally said, "You happen to be here. You're the best person."

"Why me?" Liang Yue was a little confused after hearing this.

Is there any necessity for me to be called here for this matter?

"There is a hidden formation in Wanjin Tower that can measure the cultivation level of everyone who enters it." Mo Qiuren, who was standing by the wall, spoke softly, his tone leisurely and unhurried, "If a high-level Qi Refiner enters, it will easily alert the enemy."

Liang Yue: “?”

Suddenly I felt that being chosen was not a good thing.

really.

Then Senior Sister Wen said, "I asked you to come here because you have the advantage of low cultivation."

……

Wanjin Building.

A long-renowned mechanical instrument shop in the East Market, with many extremely sophisticated products displayed in the first floor hall of the shop.

One day, a carriage with carved wood and gold edges drove to the door of Wanjin Tower, and a handsome young man got out. He was wearing a gorgeous suit of brocade clothes, which made him look noble and heroic, like a handsome man riding a horse.

As soon as he got off the car, all the women on the street looked at him. He took a big step and stepped into the Wanjin Building.

"Hey, sir, what are you here to see?" Immediately a waiter from the store came up to him.

The space inside the store is several times wider than it appears from the outside. There must be some kind of formation that can scale the universe.

Inside the store, there are waist-high square tables, on which are placed a wide variety of artifacts for refining, such as a copper bird flapping its wings, a brazier that burns for eternity, and a mirror that reveals your childhood face when you shine a light on it...

There were many people strolling around inside, not planning to buy anything, just to broaden their horizons. However, Wanjinlou didn't care, but if someone wanted to touch these things, they would find that when they reached out their hands, the distance would get farther and farther.

There are complicated formations on this building, and the number of them stacked together is enough to be compared with the most outstanding weapon refining buildings in the world, but the strength may be slightly lower.

There were countless teleportation arrays hidden inside. Wu Mozi was in one of them and could escape to another place at any time. Even if he couldn't be teleported out of the city, it would take a lot of effort to find him again.

So they must be careful not to alert the enemy.

The nobleman who entered at this moment was Liang Yue who had changed his clothes. As the saying goes, clothes make the man. When he put on this suit, he was more suave than those young men from the capital.

The objects in the hall were very new to him, but when the waiter came over to ask him about it, he stood with his hands behind his back and said contemptuously, "They are all garbage."

"This young man..." The servant quickly laughed flatteringly: "Why don't we go upstairs and take a look?"

"Take me directly to the sixth floor. I want to see your owner." Liang Yue said bluntly.

People around him sneered at his behavior.

The owner of Wanjin Tower rarely receives guests in person throughout the year. This dandy boy who came from nowhere and relies on his family's money to act like he is high and mighty is bound to suffer another setback.

"Hehe, sir, our host doesn't see guests easily." The servant replied hurriedly.

"Give this to him and tell him that I want to make one. He can name the price." Liang Yue threw a jade talisman over.

"Okay! Please wait a moment." The servant saw that the person was not ordinary and did not dare to be negligent at all. He trotted over and handed the jade talisman to him.

A moment later, the servant came running down, panting, and shouted, "Sir! Please come upstairs!"

……

The staircase in Wanjin Building is also unique. It is a bronze column that goes straight into the dome, surrounded by spiral steps, with a fairly wide gap between each floor.

The servant just ran up the stairs, but after Liang Yue stepped up, he reminded him, "Sir, please stand still."

After that, the staircase that coiled like a dragon began to spiral upward, accompanied by a clattering sound, getting higher and higher, all the way up to the sixth floor.

Liang Yue was also feeling emotional in his heart.

These people who refine equipment are really amazing. There is no manpower pulling up and down, it relies purely on machinery and formations. What's the difference between this and an elevator?
With a loud bang, we reached the sixth floor.

What came into view was not the figure of Wu Yuzi, but a huge full-length mirror.

brush.

With a flash, a figure wearing a loose black robe and with messy long hair appeared in the standing mirror. His face was weathered and deeply wrinkled.

But Wu Yuzi was only in his forties.

This is also a characteristic of the array master's inheritance. No matter how high the cultivation level is, they will show an aging that far exceeds their age.

It may be related to the hard work all day long.

Looking at the person in the standing mirror, Liang Yue asked first: "Are you the owner of Wanjin Tower?"

"It's me." The person in the mirror answered with a hoarse but clear voice, as if he was right in front of you. Then his voice suddenly became sharp: "Tell me! Who asked you to come?"

"Tsk." Liang Yue sneered and frowned, "What nonsense are you talking about? Take a look at the privy secret I sent you and see if you can refine it. If not, I will find someone else who can do it."

The man in the mirror was still speaking in a deep voice, "The secret of the Thousand Sun Sword Pill has been lost for thousands of years. Where did you get it from?"

"Why do you care about me?" Liang Yue stared at him and said, "I just want to ask if you can make it?"

"The part you gave me is less than 10% of the formation diagram. I don't believe you have all the secrets." The person in the mirror still seemed unconvinced.

Liang Yue looked impatient, "What you said is bullshit. Do you think I will give you all the secret maps? If you can refine it, I will give you all of them. Judging from your ignorant appearance, you probably can't refine it."

He turned around and was about to go downstairs along the spiral staircase.

"Eh?" Seeing that he was really about to leave, the person in the mirror seemed a little anxious and shouted to keep him, "Stop!"

"What's wrong?" Liang Yue turned around and looked at him.

The person in the mirror seemed to be struggling internally for a moment, and then said, "To refine the Thousand Sun Sword Pill, not only does one need a top-level refiner, but also a top-level array master to cooperate. The price I ask for will be very high, so you must be prepared."

Liang Yue smiled and said, "According to the rules of Jianghu, if I give it to you to refine, it is equivalent to giving it to you for free. If you ask for more, it means I am ignorant."

"Heh." The person in the mirror also smiled, "It seems that you are also knowledgeable. Then I feel relieved."

"Actually, the price is negotiable." Liang Yue said, "It's just that... I know the owner of Wanjin Tower is a top-level weapon refiner. Can you find a top-level formation master?"

The person in the mirror paused for a moment, then replied, "Of course."

　Good morning.
