Devour

"Are there any good treasures in Kaiyang City?" Cheng Bai asked the guild governor. With the official identity of a hunter, it was easier to get information.

The Hunter's Guild has many clues to treasures, and the Guild Master knows all the information within a thousand miles around.

The most valuable of these are: "The highest-level treasure for sale in Kaiyang City is the Water Ghost Scepter, the most famous treasure in Kaiyang Temple is the Frost Dragon Helmet, and the Waibazi Fortress on Yema Ridge has a precious piece of star gold."

Cheng Bai asked doubtfully: "Xingjin?"

The Hunter's Guild will provide relevant information.

Star gold is an essential component of celestial bodies. Only a very small amount is found on the continent. It is also called platinum. The hardness of the treasure is 6, which is 32 times harder than diamond. It is a rare precious metal material with a white, bright and permanent luster. It is used to cast weapons and is said to be able to kill ghosts and gods.

Cheng Bai was overjoyed when he got the confirmed news. His mace was just an ordinary iron tool. If he could get the star gold to forge the weapon, it would surely be extremely powerful and his combat strength would be doubled.

The guild governor gave another piece of news: "Master Fang Wanzhan, the leader of the Weapon Sect, is inspecting the subordinate industries in the city. If you have good materials, please ask him to refine them. There will definitely be a surprise."

Cheng Bai was secretly delighted and asked, "Are there any other treasures near Kaiyang City?"

"There's nothing better. There are some low-level spiritual medicines in the wild nearby that can be considered treasures, such as the Cha Nu Fruit and the Shao Fruit, but they are rather hard to find." The guild leader told the truth.

A pleasant voice came: "The most precious treasure in Kaiyang City is a pair of moonlight blades. It is rumored that they are made from the spiritual horns of the Five-Colored Moonlight Deer King and inlaid with two crystal cores of the Deer King and the Black Mist Demon Leopard King. It is a fine product personally refined by Master Fang Wanzhan, the leader of the Qi Sect, and has the power of thunder."

Cheng Bai turned his head and saw a young woman wearing a gray-green mask and a gray-green tights. The simple lines outlined her beautiful and graceful figure, but it was a pity that her face could not be seen.

The hunters in the guild burst into laughter.

"The Moonlight Blade was buried with the previous Kaiyang Palace Master. No one knows where it is hidden."

"You've been looking for a long time, but you haven't found it."

"Yun Juan, you like that boy, right? Do you want to team up with him to hunt for treasure?"

Cheng Baiduo looked at the other person twice and felt quite favorable towards him.

Yun Juan hesitated for a moment, stood up from her seat, and introduced herself: "Yun Juan, level 10 hunter."

A hunter teased, "The highest-ranking hunter in Kaiyang City, the most beautiful city flower, is about to be picked."

Yun Juan glared at the other person fiercely and sat down again.

Cheng Bai walked up to her, sat opposite her, and started a conversation: "I'm Cheng Bai, are you looking for the Moonlight Blade?"

Yun Juan wrinkled her nose and said, "You are the highest-ranking hunter in Kaiyang City except for me. I need help. When the moon climbs to the top of the eaves tonight, wait for me at the entrance of the guild."

After that, he walked out of the Hunter's Guild and said, "Go take a shower, you stink."

Cheng Bai lowered his head and sniffed himself. He had not taken a bath since he was caught in the rain a few days ago. His smell was a bit strong now. He hurriedly walked out of the Hunter's Guild. Now that he had money, he should dress up.

By the time he came out of the clothing store, Cheng Bai had already washed and dressed in brand new grey moonlight deerskin leather clothes, trousers and boots. He looked elegant and dignified, a far cry from his previous image.

The clothing and armor shop in the city is one of the stores under the name of Qi Zong, and both ordinary clothes and ritual robes and armor are accepted for customization.

The Moonlight Deer Fur clothing is simply cut and fully functional. It keeps the wearer warm in winter and cool in summer, and as light as a swallow under the moonlight. It can be considered a high-quality treasure. The labor cost is not cheap, and it is not financially feasible to customize two sets as replacements.

It was still early, so Cheng Bai rode his horse as fast as he could to the vicinity of the bandits' lair in Yemaling. He tied his horse far away in the woods, climbed over the wall in stealth, and quietly entered the city.

The notoriety of Waibazi Village comes from the large number of bandits and their connections with the Legion of Disaster. The bandits are usually lax and idle, doing nothing and failing to take precautions.

Cheng Bai didn't want to alarm a large number of people and cause a fight, which would waste time, so he decided to go straight to the point. He bypassed the sentry post and came across the pet kennel where Cha He kept his pet.

With the secret art of communication, unintelligent beasts are much easier to appease than humans. Cheng Bai easily coaxed the dog into acting cute and asking for the location of the treasure room where the star gold was stored, which was behind the closet in Cha He's bedroom.

It didn't take much effort to find it.

Cha He was hiding in the treasure room and sulking.

He tilted his neck and wiped the antique vase with a fine cloth, complaining to himself: "The Disaster Legion looked down on me, and a mere brat dared to ride on my head. He must not die a good death. Next time you come, I'll be ready to shoot you to death with poison arrows, hehe."

Well, originally Cheng Bai just wanted to knock him out, but now after hearing what he had heard, he decided to kill him. No one was left alive after the assassination. Bangs and bangs were heard one after another. Cha He, with his brain bursting, slid to the ground like a ball of mud, and the vase was broken and no one paid any attention to him.

Cheng Bai estimated that his real strength would not be much stronger than the Green Water Tiger of the Long Snake River. The words of the No. 1 Swordsman in the Crooked Neck Plain were either boasting, or there were too few strong people near Kaiyang City.

He put away Cha He's beheading broadsword and searched around. He not only found a large ingot of star gold, but also five thousand taels of gold. Before leaving, he did not forget to set it on fire, as keeping the bandits' stronghold would harm the people.

Afterwards, Cheng Bai returned to Kaiyang City feeling relaxed. While there was still some time, he went to the Kaiyang branch of the Weapon Sect to state his purpose.

"The sect leader is drunk today, the elders are all socializing, and there are too many visitors." The boy in charge of reception in the Qi Sect led Cheng Bai into the inner hall to entertain him and express his apologies.

Cheng Bai didn't have time to wait, so he asked, "I want to ask Master Fang Wanzhan to customize a weapon. Can you take the order for me?"

The reception boy nodded and said, "Of course, we will record the details, leave a deposit for the materials, refund the excess and make up the shortfall, and when the sect master wakes up, we can start the work according to the order."

Cheng Bai took out the mace, drew the blueprint according to the example, agreed on the design, and left the star gold and reward.

"Please pick it up in seven days."

After the reception boy gave clear instructions, Cheng Bai said goodbye and left.

Soon the order drawings and materials were sent to the master's meditation room.

Fang Wanzhan looks middle-aged, but he is actually about 200 years old. He has phoenix eyes, drooping eyebrows, a rhino nose, and five wisps of beard. He has an imposing manner and extraordinary heroism. He must have been extremely handsome when he was young.

He had profound skills and was using his Qi to sober up, with wine dripping from his fingertips. When he heard the customer's order, he opened his drunken eyes, took the star gold and weighed it, it was about 21 pounds. He took the blueprint and laughed after reading it.

"Such good and abundant materials are used to make crude maces. It's a waste of resources. Are there only unsophisticated people in Kaiyang City?"

The receptionist reported: "I have already accepted the order. Do you want to cancel it?"

Fang Wanzhan changed his mind and asked, "How much money did he leave?"

The receptionist answered truthfully, "4500 taels of gold."

Fang Wanzhan nodded repeatedly and said, "The reward is enough. The Kaiyang branch has been losing money for many years, and several elders are incompetent. We can't let this go on. We must have some income. I can't return the order. I'll take this job."

"Do you want to modify the design on the drawing?" The receptionist was quite serious and asked about the details clearly.

Fang Wanzhan casually crumpled up the blueprint and threw it into the trash can, saying disdainfully: "We will start construction tomorrow. I have a great idea to make a stunning sword. The customer will definitely be satisfied."

Seeing the drunken leader unable to refute, the receptionist could only ask, "This has changed so much. How should I answer the guest? Please give me some advice, leader."

"Just tell me the truth."

……

Cheng Bai came to the Hunter's Guild to complete the mission, exchanged the Mountain Bronze Beheading Broadsword for the bounty, and met Yun Juan at the door as promised.

The other party didn't recognize him at first, so the well-dressed Cheng Bai had to step forward and say hello.

"I didn't realize you look so handsome dressed so neatly. I'm a little reluctant to let you go." Yun Juan smiled secretly with her hands covering her mouth.

Cheng Bai was slightly surprised when he heard this and asked, "What are you looking for? Is there really a Moonlight Blade?"

During this period of time, he has asked around and found out that the Moonlight Blade is a rumor among the people, and there are many different opinions about its whereabouts. It is not an ordinary treasure. No one in Kaiyang City has seen it. The current Lord of Kaiyang Palace is also very mysterious and never talks about it.

Yun Juan swore, "I have found a clue and I need help. The Moonlight Blade will be mine. I will reward you handsomely if you succeed. I will give you a thousand taels of gold and I will never break my promise."

Cheng Bai asked curiously, "You are so determined to get the treasure? What is its use?"

Yun Juan glanced at the mace that Cheng Bai was carrying and said nonchalantly, "I need this treasure to improve my strength and ensure my chances of winning the duel. You are not good at using a knife, so it will be useless to you, so there is no need to delve into it."

The reward was generous, so Cheng Bai agreed to cooperate and followed her all the way, not daring to be negligent for fear of losing her.

Yunjuan is very good at light body skills. She climbed over the wall, jumped through the window, and carried Cheng Bai over the bed of a couple who were busy with the concave-convex merging project, causing a series of screams.

Yun Juan didn't care and followed a route that Cheng Bai couldn't understand. She passed through hundreds of rooms and ran through dozens of streets. Behind her, there was chaos and rotten eggs, rotten vegetable leaves, and old slippers flying everywhere, but it still couldn't stop the two's sharp footsteps.

Just when Cheng Bai began to wonder if she was testing his patience, Yun Juan finally climbed over the wall and entered Kaiyang City's largest building - Kaiyang Temple.
