Chapter 9: Important Figure

Divine Weapon Pavilion.

Just as Lin Fan found an inn and was preparing for the night, a significant figure suddenly arrived.

This important figure arrived.

Not only did he personally receive Lin Fan's second shopkeeper, but even the rarely seen head shopkeeper appeared respectfully.

"Is this sword just received?"

This important figure was an old man with white hair. He looked quite old, but his complexion was very rosy and full of vitality. His voice was also very loud.

He held a long sword in his hand and carefully examined it before turning to the two shopkeepers to ask.

The second shopkeeper bowed and replied, "Yes, Elder, this long sword was indeed obtained by the disciple from a young man at noon. It cost a total of fifty taels."

"Fifty taels well spent. Do you remember what the young man looked like?"

The important figure nodded and continued to ask.

"I remember, I remember," the second shopkeeper nodded repeatedly.

"Then go find a painter and have them draw a rough portrait of him for this elder."

The important figure gave the order expressionlessly.

"Yes, understood," the second shopkeeper quickly responded.

"Alright, you may go."

The important figure waved his hand to dismiss the second shopkeeper.

After the second shopkeeper left, the head shopkeeper, who had not spoken earlier, asked with confusion, "Elder, could this sword have some hidden secrets? Why are you so concerned?"

"Hehe, there are no hidden secrets, just the forging technique is quite interesting. It is the lost Hundred Forging Technique of the martial world. This elder is curious about who has mastered it again."

The important figure smiled and explained.

"Hiss! It's the Hundred Forging Technique?!"

The head shopkeeper gasped in shock, not as calm as the important figure.

The Hundred Forging Technique.

Others might find it unfamiliar.

But in their Divine Weapon Pavilion, which specialized in buying and selling weapons, they were naturally familiar with various forging techniques. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to do such a big business.

In their main branch, they had trained many blacksmiths.

However, none of the blacksmiths they trained had mastered the Hundred Forging Technique.

"It is rumored that this forging technique can turn decay into magic. Even ordinary scrap iron can be forged into sharp divine weapons using this technique. I wonder if it's true."

The head shopkeeper sighed with emotion.

"Naturally," the important figure replied, "this long sword is an example. This elder just tested it. The material used for forging is ordinary scrap iron, but under the Hundred Forging Technique, it was forged into a fine and sharp sword!"

"Hiss! That's incredible!"

The head shopkeeper gasped in shock once again.

"Yes, indeed," the important figure also nodded in agreement.

"It's a pity that this sword looks like an old item. Otherwise, as long as we find the person selling it, we can easily find the master who has mastered the lost forging technique."

The head shopkeeper shook his head regretfully.

"Who told you it's an old item?"

The important figure directly asked in return.

"Could it be otherwise?"

The head shopkeeper hesitated to speak. As someone who could become the head shopkeeper, he naturally had good eyesight, otherwise he wouldn't have obtained this position.

"Of course not."

The important figure revealed a smile. "Although this long sword has deliberately been made to look old and has some years on it, my Crimson Flame Inner Energy can clearly sense that there is a fiery aura surrounding the inside of this sword. It is an item that was recently forged!"

"Then..."

The head shopkeeper's gaze instantly brightened.

"That's right."

The important figure nodded approvingly. "As long as we find the person selling this sword, there is a great chance of finding the master who has mastered the lost forging technique!"

"Then I will immediately urge them to investigate!"

The head shopkeeper became excited.

"Not so fast. Leave this matter to Xiao Chen to handle. This time, this elder came for other matters and needs you to do something else."

The important figure stopped the excited head shopkeeper and spoke with a solemn expression.

The head shopkeeper immediately stopped his actions upon hearing this, respectfully asking, "Please give your orders, Elder. As long as it is something I can do, I will do my best to assist you!"

"Alright, have a seat."

The important figure nodded in satisfaction, then sighed and said, "This time, this elder came because the young miss ran away from home a few days ago. The last information obtained by our intelligence disciples was that the young miss appeared in the Heavenly Wind City area. So, I want you to mobilize the resources within the city and spare no effort in finding the young miss."

"The young miss ran away from home?!"

The head shopkeeper gasped in shock once again, making a contribution to global warming.

"Yes, this matter is currently classified as confidential to prevent any hostile forces from interfering. When you investigate, be cautious and try to keep it as discreet as possible."

The important figure instructed.

"Yes! Elder, please rest assured."

The shopkeeper forcefully suppressed the turmoil in his heart and nodded, accepting this important task.

On the other side, Lin Fan was unaware of the major event that had occurred at the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

He asked the shop assistant for a room and settled down with a large pile of things on his back.

After arranging for the shop assistant to deliver some food to the room, he lay down on the bed to rest.

Without Ruan Yu by his side, he felt somewhat uncomfortable with his mouth empty.

But since there was nothing else to do, he could only force himself to sleep.

And so he dozed off until dawn.

The next morning.

Lin Fan got up from the bed.

After organizing his belongings, he quickly checked out and headed towards the Coal and Iron Department, ready to return home with the delivery wagon.

But as luck would have it.

The delivery driver fell ill, and the goods could only be delivered the next day.

Helpless,

Lin Fan could only return home on his own.

Having been away for a night,

his several wives were already worried.

If he stayed here for another night, who knows how worried they would become.

And there was no food at home either. If he didn't return today, his three wives would have to go hungry.

He naturally didn't want his wives to go hungry.

After confirming that the goods would be delivered tomorrow, he carried a basket of things and returned alone.

But before he had gone far, he ran into an acquaintance.

This acquaintance was none other than Yun Niang, who had brought his wives to his doorstep a few days ago.

"Sister Yun Niang."

She had brought him three beautiful women, so naturally he had to greet her when he met her.

"Oh, it's you, little brother."

Yun Niang didn't recognize him at first, but after a while, she did.

It wasn't that her memory was bad, but that Lin Fan had changed so much since a few days ago.

Leaving aside everything else,

The person's spirit and demeanor were almost completely different.

If it weren't for Lin Fan's fair and handsome appearance, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, standing out from the crowd in a place like Shancara, it would be hard to recognize him.

"Yeah, but I'm not a little brother anymore, I'm already an adult," Lin Fan clarified with a smile.

"Mm, indeed you are an adult now," Yunniang lightly tapped Lin Fan's chest and chuckled.

"Hehe, of course," Lin Fan chuckled and took a step back without leaving a trace.

This half-old Xu Niang, can she absorb dirt while squatting on the ground?

"Koko~"

Yunniang burst into laughter and then glanced at the things behind Lin Fan, surprised, she said, "Little brother, it seems like your life is getting better and better, buying so many things."

Lin Fan replied, "It's alright, thanks to the help of Sister Yunniang."

He was telling the truth.

But Yunniang thought he was joking and continued with the joke, "Since that's the case, if there are any more young ladies that can't be assigned, should I bring them to your house next time?"

"Sure!"

For such a good thing, Lin Fan naturally had no reason to refuse.

Even if he was given a train full of the kind of wives that were despised by others, he wouldn't panic.

With the system, this could be considered a good thing.

"Koko~ You're so beautiful," Yunniang laughed even more brightly, her chest heaving, and her gaze towards Lin Fan became strange.

Lin Fan felt helpless and afraid that the other party would start absorbing dirt, so he quickly said goodbye after a few more words.

This time, he didn't encounter any acquaintances.

He smoothly passed through the city gate and left.

However, halfway through the journey, he suddenly heard a tiger's roar coming from the front of the mountain forest.

Hearing the tiger's roar, Lin Fan immediately became excited.

His "Climbing the Mountain to Fight the Tiger" fist was specifically created for fighting tigers.

Now that a tiger had taken the initiative to come to him, wouldn't it be a waste not to give it a try?
