Tang Ao sped along the road, faster than an ordinary yellow horse. He could hear the wind whistling past his ears, and he couldn't even see the shadows of the trees and the city.
"Wah!" Senior Brother Fu Yang is such a scam! "He didn't tell me how far northwest it was, making me want to go down and ask him one by one."
After walking out of the village called Chang Shun, Tang Ao could not help but mutter under his breath, "Everyone says I don't know, but could it be that Yuqiu Village is still very far away?"
Without hesitating, Tang Ao continued to head northwest. After many inquiries, he finally found the exact location of the Yuqiu Village.
"Phew!" We've finally arrived! " Tang Ao looked at the tall fence in front of him and saw a huge signboard hanging right above the gate.
It was called a village, but its scale was almost like that of a small town. The roads were wide and sturdy, and shops lined both sides of the main street. People were coming in and out of the streets.
As Tang Ao took a look at the scenery while riding on horseback, the prosperity of the Ju Village had already far surpassed Tang Ao's imagination. Even Xiao Kong, who was in his embrace, could not help but stick his head out and look around curiously.
"Let's go eat something, then slowly inquire about the whereabouts of that artificer, right?" Tang Ao lowered his head and asked.
"Great!" Great! I like it! " Xiao Kong twisted his body excitedly in Tang Ao's embrace.
Seeing that there was a restaurant up ahead and that there were many people coming and going, he walked in.
"Waiter!" Four meat dishes and five different kinds of beasts with Duan Ti Realm above the fifth heaven, as well as vegetarian dishes. " Tang Ao found a table and a chair to sit down on and called the waiter to prepare the dishes.
When the waiter heard the name of the dish from Tang Ao's side, his face lit up and he rushed to Tang Ao's side, "Customer, please wait for a moment, I will go and prepare. "What would the other guests like to drink?"
"Two taels of Dragon Marrow Tiger Bone Wine!" Tang Ao picked a table near the window and said indifferently.
"Alright!" Please wait a moment! " The waiter fawningly ran to prepare the dishes.
"Wait!" Tang Ao took out a piece of gold that was around one tael. "I heard that you have a Master Refiner here, I want to inquire about him."
The waitress saw that the money was on the line and smiled mischievously as she replied, "So this customer wants to know more about Master Song Hetong. Ah, when it comes to Master Song, it's really …"
It turned out that this village was originally a rundown little village. All the young and able-bodied people who were able to leave had left, leaving behind only the elderly, women, and children who were struggling to survive in this village. Song Hetong just happened to pass by and didn't have the heart to see this miserable scene.
Originally, Song Hetong was just sightseeing, comprehending the heavens and the earth while training his refining skills. Coincidentally, he was protected by the mountains and surrounded by the water, the scenery was beautiful, thus he decided to stay here.
He was a Master Refiner to begin with, and there were people begging for him wherever he went. Not to mention the fact that he was settled here, so naturally, the people who came to visit him were in a rush. The more people there were, the more prosperous the village would be.
The waiter was full of smiles as he spoke, spittle flying everywhere. Master Song is right next door to my house. The old man likes peace of mind and does not want to be disturbed. He only sees a few people a day, and if he's in a bad mood and we still don't see each other, then the guest must be mentally prepared. "
"I know that! "Thank you for your trouble!" The waiter then contentedly took the gold and left.
"To be able to form a town by himself, this Song Hetong is truly powerful!" Xiao Kong popped out a snake head from his embrace as he said in shock.
"That's right!" With Song Hetong being so friendly, we can probably succeed in begging him. " Tang Ao said indifferently, as he carefully savored the tea the waiter brought him.
Tang Ao and Xiao Kong, one person and one snake, wolfed down all the food on the table as if they had never eaten in their entire lives. Not long after, the plates and plates on the table were all messed up, the other customers were all scared silly.
"Let's go!" Tang Ao patted his stomach in satisfaction, threw two pieces of gold to the waiter, and stepped out the door.
Following the waiter's instructions, the two quickly found a large workshop in the southeast corner of the village. From time to time, the sound of knocking could be heard.
"It should be here." Tang Ao directly walked into the courtyard. More than a dozen young men walked bare-chested, their muscles moving up and down as the sledgehammer hammered on them. The firelight shone on their dark backs that were covered in sweat, making the courtyard even more fervent.
"Please wait a moment!" This is an important forging ground, so no one is allowed to enter. " A robust middle-aged man stood in front of the two and stopped them from moving forward.
"Oh!" We are here to look for Song Hetong, Master Song. Tang Ao did not dare be presumptuous in front of outsiders, he cupped his fists and asked.
"Like this?" It is a coincidence that the two of you have come at the right time, and Master is just here, please come to the meeting room and wait for a moment. " The big man made a gesture of invitation.
Tang Ao did not dare be rash, and followed the big sized man towards the meeting hall. Stepping into the conference hall, Tang Ao was startled.
"So many people!"
Regardless of whether it was the chairs for the guests or the prayer mats that had been called out at the last minute, they were all filled with people. Some of them even lined up outside the meeting hall.
Some of them were relaxed, as if they didn't care about waiting in the hall; some others revealed anxious expressions, secretly complaining about Song Hetong's bluff. Tang Ao's heart was at peace. He found a secluded place to sit down and closed his eyes to recuperate.
"Master Song Hetong is here!" The big guy reported with a loud voice. Following which, with the support of the disciples, a gray-robed old man shakily walked over from the back hall. The old man looked extremely weak, as if he would fall down if he were to push him.
"So this is Master Refiner Song Hetong?"
"He's just a bad old man!"
"A crappy old man knows how to forge equipment? "You made laozi wait so long for nothing."
"This is too disappointing, a rotten old man!"
Song Hetong coughed a few times, his hands trembled as he held onto the armrest of the chair, "This old one is Song Hetong. If there is anything wrong with your body, please take care of it. "
"Cut the crap!" Old Man Song, our Mo Clan of the Eastern Region wants to refine a Spirit Treasure Divine Weapon. Tell me, how much do you want? " A youth dressed in luxurious clothing carelessly called Song Hetong with a face full of rudeness and rudeness.
"Oh? "If that's the case …" Song Hetong's face was filled with shock, he turned and looked at the big sized man and his disciples, "Throw the Mo Clan out, so as to not taint the Meeting Room."
"Wh, what?" You rotten old man, do you know who we are? You actually … Let go, you bunch of barbarians, let go! Before the Mo family's young master could say anything, he was lifted up by one of the big man's hands and thrown away. Even the few guards behind him didn't have the chance to retaliate.
"I can't tell, but these disciples' cultivation are quite high." Tang Ao's expression remained the same, "This old man really has a true personality. Interesting."
A young lady stood out and cupped her fists and greeted Song Hetong respectfully.
