Chapter 20: Black Gold

The Disciple who was enjoying the competition was startled upon hearing this.

He then said, "Profound Gold is a good thing. It's an important material for forging Earth Rank Spiritual Artifacts. If it's incorporated into a Yellow Rank weapon, there's a ninety percent chance it can upgrade the weapon to Profound Rank."

"However, this stuff is worth a fortune and is rarely seen. Why are you asking? Do you have any?"

Ye Lin waved his hand, looking at the Disciple's strange gaze.

"Tsk, boring."

After speaking, he continued to happily watch the fight.

This piece of Profound Gold was a good thing. If he integrated this Profound Gold into his longsword, there was a high probability his longsword would be upgraded to Xuan Grade Low-Rank.

Just a few minutes passed, and the battle between the two on the arena had entered a heated stage. If there were experts present, they would surely see that Niu Bo was gradually falling into a disadvantage.

"Senior Brother, step down. I'm taking the Inner Sect Disciple spot."

Zhang Xiao punched Niu Bo back, his face full of disdain.

"The victor hasn't been decided, how dare you speak like this?"

Upon hearing this, Niu Bo was furious. As an Inner Sect Disciple, this was the first time in ten years he had been challenged by an Outer Sect Disciple, which had already caused him to lose face. Yet, the person in front of him dared to mock him.

This enraged him, and his attacks became sharper, each move a killing blow, holding nothing back.

"I wonder what this Inner Sect Disciple's stats are like."

Name: Niu Bo

Cultivation: Qi Condensation Eighth Layer

Fate: White (Has some potential)

Destiny: 【Sword Dao Leader】 【Good Luck】

Fate: After being defeated by Zhang Xiao, he couldn't bear the blow, his Dao Heart shattered, and he spent his days in the Outer Sect in a daze, eventually descending the mountain three months later and dying after his essence blood was sucked dry by an evil demon.

Recent Opportunity: Three days later, he will go to Dragon Fall Valley to clear his mind and accidentally discover the corpse of a Foundation Establishment Yao Beast, from which he will find a Foundation Establishment Demonic Core, but due to his shattered Dao Heart, he will casually discard the Demonic Core.

【Sword Dao Leader】: You have a unique understanding of the Sword Dao, and you can always make rapid progress on the path of the Sword Dao.

【Good Luck】: Good Luck, good fortune often allows you to turn danger into safety.

Ye Lin felt a rush of suffocation looking at Niu Bo's Opportunity. Good heavens, this was the first time he had seen someone discard an Opportunity they encountered.

"Get out of here!"

At this moment, a furious roar came from the arena. Niu Bo's body surged with Sword Qi, and an extremely powerful Sword Qi rushed towards Zhang Xiao.

Even standing below the stage, Ye Lin could feel the power of this Sword Qi.

"Hmph, how can a useless person like you be an Inner Sect Disciple? You're an embarrassment to the Inner Sect Disciples! Get out of here!"

"Ba Tian Fist."

Zhang Xiao had completely torn off his pretense with Niu Bo. Accompanied by a roar, a huge fist shadow appeared behind Zhang Xiao.

Boom!

With a loud bang, Niu Bo's Sword Qi was instantly shattered by the fist shadow, and Niu Bo himself was sent flying off the arena, lying on the ground, his life unknown.

Upon seeing this, the Outer Sect Disciples watching from all around burst into an uproar. A generation's Inner Sect Disciple had thus fallen.

"Senior Brother Zhang is invincible! Senior Brother Zhang is mighty! Senior Brother Zhang is domineering!"

At this moment, shouts erupted from the crowd, and everyone else looked at that Disciple with a strange gaze.

"Alright, now that I am an Inner Sect Disciple, I thank all of you gentlemen for your support. You may all return."

Zhang Xiao waved his hand, looking at the crowd below.

Seeing that the victor had been decided, Ye Lin turned and walked down the mountain. He needed to rush to Tianfeng City now to seize Zhang Xiao's Opportunity.

After Ye Lin left, a white-robed figure appeared beside Zhang Xiao.

"Was that person named Ye Lin watching the whole time? Until the end?"

Zhang Xiao frowned and asked the Disciple beside him.

Upon hearing this, the Disciple nodded.

"Yes, Senior Brother, from the beginning of your fight until the end, he was calmly watching, seemingly without any fear."

Listening to the Disciple, a meaningful smile appeared on Zhang Xiao's face.

"Interesting."

After Zhang Xiao spoke, he secretly pondered.

Zhang Liang's big brother was himself. He surely wouldn't be unaware of this identity. If it were someone else at Qi Condensation Fourth Layer, they would definitely be panicking now, even wanting to flee the Sect.

Instead, he calmly watched his battle. Being able to do so indicated that he had something to rely on.

"He must have something to rely on, either a background or some means."

"Whether it's a background or some means, as long as it's tested, there's no threat."

Zhang Xiao muttered to himself, standing in place.

Then he spoke to the Disciple beside him.

"Late tonight, go test him. If he truly only has superficial skills, then come back. I want to personally avenge my younger brother. If he truly has some means, report it to me immediately."

After Zhang Xiao spoke, Wu Feng nodded.

After Zhang Xiao's back disappeared, Wu Feng's face was full of cold sneers.

"Damn it, if he can be so calm, and if he really has some means, then he can definitely deal with you. You want me to go die? Bah!"

After cursing, Wu Feng left the arena. Tonight's test was definitely going to happen, but he would just go through the motions.

On the other side, Ye Lin had already started accelerating towards Sun Moon City. Sun Moon City was different from Tianfeng City.

Sun Moon City was a large city, capable of accommodating a million people within its walls, so one could imagine how massive it was.

However, the journey was also extremely long. After three hours of full-speed travel, Ye Lin finally arrived outside Sun Moon City.

Upon arriving outside the city, the city guards did not obstruct him. Tianfeng City might fear river bandits, but Sun Moon City did not.

Walking into the city, compared to Tianfeng City, Sun Moon City had more people. The hawkers' cries were endless, and what truly surpassed Tianfeng City was Sun Moon City's clean environment.

"Brother, do you know where the largest blacksmith shop in this city is?"

At this moment, Ye Lin casually stopped someone beside him, cupped his fists, and asked.

"You must be an outsider at first glance. Everyone in our Sun Moon City knows the Male and Female Twin Fiends Blacksmith Shop. Look, walk about a li from here, and you'll be there."

Following the direction the person pointed, Ye Lin thanked him and then walked forward along that path.

Halfway there, Ye Lin suddenly stopped, looking at the huge pavilion ahead. There was a plaque at the entrance, clearly displaying the seven large characters: Male and Female Twin Fiends Blacksmith Shop.

Ye Lin lifted his foot and walked inside. As soon as he entered, the surrounding temperature dropped rapidly. Various weapons were neatly arranged within the blacksmith shop, emanating a cold gleam.

"Young Master, are you here to buy or to forge?"

At this moment, a muscular middle-aged man came before Ye Lin, speaking in a booming voice.

"It's fine, I'll just look around first. Boss, your shop name is quite interesting."

Ye Lin walked into the blacksmith shop, looking at the various weapons, and casually asked the boss.

"Heh, this name was chosen by my wife and me together. My wife also does blacksmithing, so we hit it off and chose this name."

"A girl blacksmithing, that's rare."

At this moment, Ye Lin, who had walked deeper inside, suddenly his eyes lit up. He then squatted under a table, looking at a palm-sized, pitch-black object used to prop up the table leg.

"There's no other way. In these times, this is the only industry that can make money."

Listening to the boss's words, Ye Lin nodded. Indeed, in this world, the lives of Mortals were like ants, easily crushed. Most people liked to travel with weapons.

"Boss, how much is this thing?"

Ye Lin slowly took out the Profound Gold that was propping up the table leg and said to the boss.

"Customer, this thing is just a stone I use to prop up the table leg. It's not worth anything. If you want it, I'll give it to you."

Listening to the boss's words, Ye Lin shook his head.

"Boss, I won't take your item for free. How about this, take these three taels of silver. Consider it me buying this item from you."

At this moment, Ye Lin took out three taels of silver from his Pregnant and handed it to the boss. Ever since that incident, he had developed the habit of carrying money when going out.

"Customer, you really shouldn't! This is just a useless stone."

Seeing the boss decline, Ye Lin smiled and shook his head. The boss in front of him was just a Mortal and had no idea of the value of Profound Gold. The more precious an item, the greater the Karma involved.

By handing the money to the boss, he was settling this piece of Karma.

"Boss, listen to me, take it."

Then Ye Lin placed the silver on the table and walked out.

"Look at this, sigh."

The boss sighed helplessly and collected the silver from the table.
