The Low-Grade Dao Artifact is extremely precious in Xian Dao, and only those above the Five Masters rank at Wuwei Academy are qualified to possess one.
This time, Wuwei Academy has brought out a Low-Grade Dao Artifact as a reward, clearly realizing that the figure in black has already threatened the foundation of Wuwei Academy. After all, he has killed important core experts; if they cannot deal with him, then anyone might want to take a shot at it.
Now, the reputation of that figure in black is soaring, and many speculate that his strength is on par with the Five Masters.
Xu Feng currently possesses a Superior Dao Instrument and has no desire for the Low-Grade Dao Artifact. He only hopes that if he gets the chance to see that figure in black, he can carefully observe his Sword Formation. There are indeed very few experts who can control thirteen swords.
Xu Duo Chou said, "Ying is still in seclusion. Why don't you also go into seclusion at Purple Cloud Cave? If there’s anything you don’t understand, come ask me. Wait until you have the strength to defeat me before seeking out Silverbeard; this way, the risks will be much lower."
It must be said that Xu Duo Chou's approach does ensure Xu Feng's safety to some extent. However, Xu Feng's method of killing Silverbeard relies on the Gale Sword Formation, which is difficult for others to accept. Once it becomes public, it will surely attract the calculations of those with ulterior motives and might even lead to Qianlongzi's death being pinned on him.
Xu Feng said, "Thank you, Elder Xie. I plan to cultivate overseas for ten years and experience the Chaotic Sea before returning to challenge Silverbeard."
Xu Duo Chou glanced at Xu Mo; both had long reached a consensus that Xu Feng would arrange his own cultivation without interference. Xu Mo said, "In that case, everything is under your control. Remember that the Xu family will always stand behind you. If you encounter any difficulties, just return to the Xu family."
"Thank you, Family Head."
Xu Duo Chou calculated the time and said, "Then let your duel with Silverbeard be set for ten years later at Jumping Fish Island. It’s an island in the Raging Sea that rarely sees visitors. Since you’ll be cultivating overseas, it’s beneficial for you to have it there."
Xu Feng did not expect such an arrangement but thought about it briefly and replied, "That works; I’ll leave everything in your hands, Elder and Family Head."
After finalizing the challenge against Silverbeard, Xu Feng left the Xu family.
Next, the Xu family began preparing for the duel. Family Head Xu Mo personally visited Wuwei Academy with Shen Nan from Pingdao Sect to deliver a challenge letter to Silverbeard.
The Xu family in Minghu City may not be ranked among the top ten in strength but is indeed formidable with two Great Perfection Stage cultivators. With Shen Nan from Pingdao Sect accompanying them, Wuwei Academy naturally did not dare to treat them disrespectfully.
Silverbeard had previously crippled Shen Qian with a single palm strike and even killed Xu Ruchu on the spot. It was common knowledge that there was enmity between the Xu family and Wuwei Academy. Wuwei Academy also wanted to use this opportunity to settle this grudge and accepted the challenge from the Xu family on the spot while cursing Silverbeard's ancestors for his reckless actions that always caused trouble.
Xu Family Disciple Xu Feng will face off against Wuwei Academy's Silverbeard ten years later at Jumping Fish Island! This news quickly spread throughout Zheguo and caused quite a stir.
"Is it true that Xu Feng from the Xu family is going to challenge Silverbeard?"
"It’s true. I have a buddy who works at Wuwei Academy, and he knows about it."
"I heard Xu Feng only has the strength of Mid Stage of Spirit Separation. How can he compete with Silverbeard, who is at Great Perfection Stage?"
"Maybe he thinks the housing prices are too high, he can't afford a house, and feels unhappy, so he wants to seek death."
The news of Xu Feng challenging Silverbeard spread for a while in Xian Dao but quickly died down. After all, not many people genuinely cared about such an absurd matter.
When the Xu family contacted for the duel, Xu Feng did not go out to sea but returned to Jianhu District in Xianxia City through the Teleportation Array.
At the city gate of Xianxia City, a bounty notice from Wuwei Academy for capturing the black-clad individuals was posted. The huge reward of a Low-Grade Dao Artifact attracted many passing cultivators, each dreaming of obtaining information about the black-clad individuals to win the grand prize.
Xu Feng wandered around the city for a while before finally entering Wujue Pavilion.
Today was lucky; after two hundred years, Zhen Tao was still working at Wujue Pavilion. The difference was that his position had changed from a clerk to a manager. Coincidentally, Tao Bao from Azure Owl City was also here, and his status was even higher as he had been promoted to the overall manager of Wujue Pavilion in Xianxia City. Wujue Pavilion had over ten stores in Zheguo, with this one being the largest.
Zhen Tao spotted Xu Feng at a glance. This generous customer left him with a good impression. Zhen Tao had done several profitable deals with Xu Feng, including recovering some Black Market Goods. The only regret was that he couldn't buy Xu Feng's Wings of the Strange Dragon.
"Senior Xu, long time no see," Zhen Tao greeted enthusiastically. Every time Xu Feng appeared, it brought him some surprises; this time, he expected another big business opportunity.
Xu Feng, at Mid Stage of Spirit Separation, was no longer an unknown figure. Since he had consecutively killed members of Xiaoyao Sect and Purple Cloud Sect, both sects had placed him on their kill list. His Wings of the Strange Dragon and Dark Destroyer were also publicly known.
With Xu Feng's current strength, these two sects were powerless against him because Su Meng, the leader of Purple Cloud Sect, and Xiao Bie Li, the leader of Xiaoyao Sect, were both at Divine Separation Late Stage. Neither sect had any cultivators at Great Perfection Stage who could deal with Xu Feng. As for Nine Dragon Pool and Sinking Sand Valley, they were even more vulnerable.
Xu Feng greeted him friendly and said, "It's been so long since I last came; I’m surprised you still remember me."
Zhen Tao replied, "Senior Xu is my lucky star; how could I forget? Our overall manager is also here; if you have time, you can come for tea." Businessmen are different; they often mention having tea. If you really went there, he might not have time after all.
Xu Feng smiled and said, "I came to buy a few magical artifacts."
Zhen Tao quickly led Xu Feng to the Superior Magical Artifact section and said, "Senior Xu is an old customer; I will definitely give you a discount."
Xu Feng glanced around and replied, "Let's take a look at the Supreme Treasures."
Upon hearing this, Zhen Tao's face lit up with joy; indeed, a big client and a wealthy person. He hurriedly took Xu Feng to the second floor.
The second floor was filled with Supreme Treasures, but there were not many—only about twenty items.
Xu Feng walked along the display counter while Zhen Tao followed closely behind, constantly clearing his throat, waiting for Xu Feng to speak.
Supreme Treasures were used by cultivators above the Separation of Spirit level, with each item priced over two million spirit stones. Some less affluent Divine Separation Practitioners could not afford Supreme Treasures and had to make do with Superior Magical Artifacts, which is why Wujue Pavilion's stock was limited.
Xu Feng had a few top-tier magical artifacts he had acquired, which he had given to Gao Jingsong and the other three deputies in Liuxiang Kingdom. Now, aside from one Supreme Battle Blade, he only had Huo Jinxing's Meteor Hammer left.
After quickly looking through the Supreme Treasures at the counter, Xu Feng turned back and began to point at each item. With every item he pointed at, Zhen Tao's smile grew wider. By the time Xu Feng finished pointing, Zhen Tao was grinning from ear to ear.
In total, Xu Feng selected five Supreme Treasures: four blades and one piece of armor.
The four blades represented the elements of metal, wood, water, and earth, while the armor was Earth Element. The total price for these five premium items was twelve million.
Xu Feng handed the Supreme Meteor Hammer to Zhen Tao and said, "Include this artifact in the calculation and give me a new price."
Zhen Tao, who was in charge and somewhat of a leader, estimated briefly and said, "This Supreme Meteor Hammer is of average quality; I can offer you one million for it. Additionally, since you are a big client, I will personally discount another million. So you just need to pay ten million spirit stones."
Ten million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones for five Supreme Treasures was not an expensive deal. Xu Feng had plenty of money now; Fang Wenshan had left him several million spirit stones, and Qiao Li also had a large amount. He immediately paid the spirit stones and stored the five artifacts in his ring.
The transaction went very smoothly. Zhen Tao said, "Senior Xu, you are truly my lucky star. I will definitely ask the manager to issue you a No Absolute Card so that you can enjoy a ten percent discount at all Wujue Pavilion stores in the future."
No Absolute Card is similar to Jingcheng Auction's Flat Iron Token, both used for discounts.
Xu Feng said, "I have a sect under my command that still needs some magical treasures, but..."
Zhen Tao's eyes immediately lit up, saying, "Please go ahead, senior. Wujue Pavilion will definitely not disappoint you."
Xu Feng replied, "I would like to meet Director Tao."
Zhen Tao understood that Xu Feng was about to discuss a significant business matter that exceeded his authority, so he said, "Director Tao is in Xianxia City. Please wait a moment; I will arrange for someone to invite him right away."
Zhen Tao called over a disciple and whispered a few words. The disciple promptly left.
Before long, Tao Bao hurried over. Upon seeing Xu Feng, he enthusiastically exclaimed, "Xu Daoyou, what a rare guest! I thought you had forgotten about me." Over the past two hundred years, Tao Bao had also advanced to the Early Stage of Spirit Separation.
Xu Feng said, "Director Tao, not only has your strength improved, but you have also been promoted to manager. I wouldn't dare disturb you."
After some pleasantries, the two entered a room, leaving Zhen Tao outside.
True to his business nature, Tao Bao set up a Tea Table, and the two began to chat while enjoying tea.
"I hear that Xu Daoyou is looking to prepare some magical treasures for your sect. What specific requirements do you have?"
Xu Feng paused and said, "Forty pieces of Supreme Treasure Sword, eight pieces for each of the five elements. They need to be exactly the same in specifications and dimensions, preferably refined simultaneously. No excessive embellishments are needed; just sufficient power will do."
Hiss! Tao Bao inhaled sharply. Forty pieces of five-element Supreme Treasure, what a huge order! Such a large request would only come from one of the top ten sects in Xian Dao. Could it be that Xu Feng is acting as an agent? Given that Xu Feng hails from Liuxiang Kingdom, who could afford so many Supreme Treasures from such a place?
After all, being a seasoned businessman, Tao Bao steadied himself and asked, "Forty pieces of five-element Supreme Treasure Sword, that's quite a number. When does Xu Daoyou need them?"
"As soon as possible, preferably within a year."
The refinement of the Supreme Treasure is not easy; only a Major Sect can produce forty Supreme Treasure Swords in a year.
Tao Bao thought for a moment and said, "Alright, I accept!"
According to the rules, Xu Feng needed to pay a deposit of over twenty million. Xu Feng readily paid thirty million spirit stones and then said, "Director Tao, I would like to ask you something. If it's inconvenient, you don't have to answer."
Tao Bao smiled and said, "Daoist Xu, feel free to ask. If I can answer, I will."
Xu Feng became serious and asked, "What is the relationship between Wujue Pavilion and Golden Stone Workshop?"
Tao Bao breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "Wujue Pavilion is indeed a property of Golden Stone Workshop. In the field of Refining Tools, no one can compare to us. Golden Stone Workshop has always been engaged in Refining Tools. Wujue Pavilion was previously called Goldstone Pavilion before it was renamed Wujue Pavilion."
"Oh? Why was it renamed Wujue Pavilion?"
"This name was changed several Ten Thousand Years ago and is said to be related to one of our elders named Jiang Wujue."
At this point, Xu Feng had confirmed his speculation: Wujue Pavilion was indeed a property of Golden Stone Workshop, and the name Wujue Pavilion was most likely in memory of the missing Jiang Wujue.
