Zongman: I'm working hard to develop my daily life in the time-travel series

A young, black-haired boy who admires Shi Yu's strength and talent; a gentle and knowledgeable short man; and a girl with bright, adorable eyes who always senses the innate spiritual energy of the divine artifact—all await his guidance.

lead.

Shi Yu stared intently at each of the unfinished divine weapons, his brows furrowed.

"We need to improve our craftsmanship and quality. These divine weapons should not only be incredibly sharp weapons, but should also become symbols that martial artists pursue and aspire to." His tone was firm and powerful.

The young, black-haired boy, who admired Shi Yu, immediately raised his hand in greeting.

"I can take charge of mixing materials and trying out new alloy formulas, so that the divine weapons we make will be even stronger."

The gentle yet knowledgeable short man nodded. "You should first create the basic design and then send it to me. I will enhance the internal power of the divine weapon through rune engraving."

With a pair of bright and adorable eyes that always seemed to sense the innate spiritual energy of the artifacts, the girl smiled and said, "I can use my magical research skills to infuse each weapon with elemental energy, giving them even greater power."

Shi Yu nodded in satisfaction, feeling a warmth in his heart as he sensed the enthusiasm and focus of his companions.

“Excellent! Let’s work together to not only improve the craftsmanship and quality, but also to make every divine weapon impeccable and incredibly alluring.” Outside Shi Yu’s workshop, citizens on the city streets were buzzing with discussion.

Some people envied Shi Yu for having such abundant resources and strength, while others were filled with curiosity and anticipation for the exquisitely crafted divine weapons in the Spirit Weapon Pavilion.

Chapter 665 I can accept the Brocade Robe and Divine Sword you've pledged as collateral

Have you heard? That young weapon master opened a magical artifact shop, and the divine weapons he makes are incredibly cool!

Yes, I've also been to his workshop. It's like a mysterious and high-quality sanctuary. I heard they're constantly improving their craftsmanship and quality every day, and preparing to launch even more attractive designs!

I really want to own one of those divine weapons they made! It would definitely help me defeat my opponent!

However, amid the heated discussions among citizens, a hint of doubt also lingered.

After all, the Spirit Weapon Pavilion has been open for some time, but very few people dare to buy these divine weapons.

What's going on? How come such a sizable and successful shop is getting no customers? I heard the prices aren't low!

Perhaps it's because most martial artists already possess a suitable divine weapon, so it doesn't hold much appeal for them.

Hearing these discussions, Shi Yu couldn't help but feel confused.

He had always believed that the Spirit Weapon Pavilion could provide the best divine weapons for martial artists, but now he found that his belief seemed to have deviated.

He decided to step out of the workshop and interact with the citizens to understand what their real needs were.

On a city street, Shi Yu approached a young couple and stopped to admire the powerful weapons displayed in a shop window.

"Hello, what are your thoughts on my Spirit Artifact Pavilion?" Shi Yu asked with a smile.

The young man hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke his mind: "To tell you the truth, in my opinion, the divine weapons and artifacts of the Spirit Weapon Pavilion are very powerful, but not many people actually need to buy them. After all, there are already many..."

There are many high-quality weapons to choose from.

His female companion added: "Moreover, the divine weapons and artifacts in the Spirit Artifact Pavilion are quite expensive, and not everyone can afford them. We prefer to invest our limited resources in cultivation and improve our own strength."

want.

Shi Yu's heart skipped a beat; he seemed to have found the key to the problem.

Shi Yu stared at the young man in front of him, feeling puzzled.

He didn't possess many of the magical weapons and artifacts from the Spirit Weapon Pavilion, but that only scratched the surface of the citizens' needs.

Now, the young man's words seem to have answered the question that had been troubling him deep inside.

He smiled slightly and asked with great interest, "Where did you get this brocade sword you're holding?"

·· ·····Requesting flowers·· 0

The young man raised his head with pride and looked affectionately at the brocade-clad divine sword in his hand, which was comparable to a top-grade spiritual weapon.

I had expected to be helpless at the entrance of the Spirit Artifact Pavilion, but then this unexpected encounter happened.

“This brocade sword is something I inherited from my father.” He said with a touch of emotion, “For me, it is not just a weapon, but a symbol.”

.... ...... ...

Shi Yu's gaze was solemn; he was no stranger to the Brocade Robe Divine Sword.

I've heard about this sword since I first started learning it; its killing moves are described as "dragon soaring a thousand miles" and "demonic might overwhelming."

The Brocade Robe Divine Sword had become his dream on his path of cultivation, but the young man in front of him had mortgaged it to his shop.

Shi Yu hesitated for a moment, but still decided to accept the order.

He reminded himself to be cautious.

After all, the value of a brocade sword is considerable, and he probably won't be able to provide a completely satisfactory response in a short period of time.

He smiled and nodded to the young man. "Alright, I can accept the Brocade Robe and Divine Sword you've pledged."

Chapter 666 Deciding to personally take action, find Shen Zhi and uncover the truth

Su Yu arranged a meeting at the intelligence preparation office.

He appeared before the crowd in brocade robes, exuding an air of authority.

The members of the intelligence preparation office immediately noticed his arrival and stood up to greet him.

"I heard that Young Master Shen Zhi has recently disappeared. Is there any news about him?" Su Yu asked.

The members of the intelligence preparation office exchanged glances, and then one of them stepped forward and handed over a report.

"Your Highness, we have recently discovered that the young master of the noble family, Shen Zhi, has been acting strangely. Something seems amiss. We have begun an investigation and have sent people to monitor various key locations in the city."

Su Yu took the report, his brows furrowing slightly. It seemed the problem was more complicated than he had anticipated.

"Alright, continue to intensify the investigation, and have your men keep an eye on the city's movements, especially the location of the Spirit Weapon Pavilion."

The hall was immediately packed, and people slammed their fists on the table and shouted, "Yes!"

Just then, a guard rushed into the meeting hall. "Your Highness, we have just received news that the young master Shen Zhi was last seen in an old pawnshop, where he left behind a divine sword."

"An old pawnshop?" A thought flashed through Su Yu's mind. He quickly analyzed, "Young Master Shen Zhi doesn't have many social circles. There must be an important reason why he chose to appear there at this moment."

Su Yu stood up and walked out the door without delay.

“I will go there in person. You continue the investigation and report back to me immediately.”

The members of the intelligence preparation office responded and then hurriedly returned to their posts to continue their work.

Su Yu, accompanied by her personal guards, arrived at the ancient pawnshop, weary from their journey. Meanwhile, Shi Yu received the divine sword and immediately felt a powerful aura emanating from its blade.

The sword was extremely beautiful, and the exquisite carvings on its blade exuded a mysterious and ancient aura, which stirred Shi Yu's heart.

“This sword looks very special.” Bai Zhi came closer, her eyes sparkling as she examined the divine sword.

"Yes, I am also very interested in this sword."

As Shi Yu spoke, he began to carefully observe the exquisite carvings on the divine sword.

Every pattern showcases exquisite craftsmanship, seemingly containing boundless wisdom.

Bai Zhi asked curiously, "Shi Yu, have you discovered anything?"

Shi Yu stopped examining the divine sword. "I find this sword to be exquisitely crafted; it's clear it has weathered countless years..."

Bai Zhi blinked. "Can you explain this?"

Shi Yu handed Bai Zhi the Divine Sword, "Observe the details on this sword. Every carving reveals the creator's unique ideas and aesthetics. This sword may have been made for a specific purpose, not just for battle."

fight."

Bai Zhi sensed Shi Yu's strong interest in the divine sword, and she also began to look forward to it.

Do you think this sword might be hiding some secret?

Shi Yu lowered his head and pondered for a moment. "I suspect this sword might have been made by a renowned craftsman, but we need to investigate further to determine the specifics." Su Yu was worried about Shen Zhi's disappearance, knowing that the matter had already attracted the attention of the royal family.

He knew that resolving this problem was of paramount importance to him.

Therefore, he decided to personally find Shen Zhi and uncover the truth.

Su Yu gathered the investigators and sat down in the pawnshop's conference room, looking at each of them with a furrowed brow.

Chapter 667 The Divine Sword is indeed related to Shen Zhi

"Shen Zhi's disappearance has already attracted the attention of the royal family. I believe the Spirit Artifact Pavilion must have the clues we need," Su Yu instructed firmly.

The investigators nodded in agreement and immediately got to work.

They were divided into several groups and carefully investigated every detail in the Spirit Artifact Pavilion in different areas, hoping to find clues left by Shen Zhi.

Su Yu walked into the exhibition area, her gaze intently examining each exhibit.

The display cases contain a wide variety of magical artifacts, including a dazzling array of incredibly precious ancient items.

However, behind all this glamour, is there a hidden secret behind Shen Zhi's disappearance?

"Everyone, examine each item carefully, paying special attention to any clues related to Shen Zhi," Su Yu reminded them firmly.

The investigators carefully examined each exhibit, using their professional expertise to distinguish the authenticity of each antique.

However, during these late-night efforts, they found no clues related to Shen Zhi.

The wind kept blowing, and the glass surface in front of the display case reflected the investigators' anxious and helpless expressions.

Everyone present knew that time was of the essence; they had to find clues as soon as possible and resolve this thorny issue quickly.

Standing in front of the display case, Su Yu frowned, feeling an indescribable unease.

He turned and walked to the other side of the Spirit Artifact Pavilion, hoping to find more clues.

Meanwhile, in another corner of the Spirit Artifact Pavilion, Shi Yu was carefully examining an antique.

Suddenly, a clear voice reached his ears: "Shi Yu!"

Shi Yu looked up and was surprised to see Bai Zhi standing not far away.

She held a scroll in her hand, her face showing deep worry.

Bai Zhi walked over and glanced around to make sure no one else could hear.

“I received news about Shen Zhi’s disappearance and the Divine Sword. This is the truth,” she said nervously.

Shi Yu was shocked. "You mean... you know the connection between Shen Zhi's disappearance and that divine sword?"

Bai Zhi nodded. "Yes, I received a secret report last night that the Divine Sword is indeed related to Shen Zhi."

Shi Yu looked at Bai Zhi with a puzzled expression, "Why does this matter involve Shen Zhi?"

Bai Zhi sighed softly, "It is said that the place where the divine sword is located is a dangerous place. Shen Zhi once went there to investigate, and then disappeared. Some people suspect that he has been taken to another world by the divine sword."

A sense of anxiety welled up in Shi Yu's heart. "We must find Shen Zhi and solve this problem."

Bai Zhi warned, "Shi Yu, you must be careful. The divine sword is extraordinary. It possesses great power, but it also harbors great danger. I don't want you to put yourself in danger in order to uncover the truth."

Shi Yu clenched his fists tightly. "I understand." Shi Yu and Bai Zhi focused their attention on the divine sword, carefully observing every detail of this antique.

A luminous gem was inlaid on the sharp blade of the divine sword, radiating a dazzling light.

Shi Yu cautiously reached out his hand towards the divine sword and felt a powerful and mysterious force.

"This sword exudes an extraordinary aura."

Bai Zhi gazed at the divine sword, "I can feel the boundless wisdom and power it contains."

Shi Yu nodded in agreement, "However, we need to further explore its true characteristics and uses."

Chapter 668 Hoping to find clues left by Shen Zhi

He noticed a faint golden glow emanating from Bai Zhi's forehead; she was concentrating on her thoughts.

“Perhaps we can find clues left behind by Shen Zhi,” Bai Zhi suddenly suggested.

Shi Yu blinked. "Yes, Shen Zhi once went to investigate this divine sword. Perhaps he left some kind of information in this antique that can help us find him."

The two immediately began searching for any clues about Shen Zhi in the Spirit Artifact Pavilion.

Shi Yu and Bai Zhi meticulously searched the Spirit Artifact Pavilion, hoping to find clues left by Shen Zhi.

Just as they were concentrating, a stranger walked in.

He wore a long black robe, and his handsome yet cold face exuded an air of arrogance.

"You must be Bai Zhi and Shi Yu?" the stranger asked casually.

Shi Yu frowned slightly, staring warily at the person. "Who we are is not important. How did you find this place?"

The stranger smiled, revealing flawless white teeth. "Su Yu sent me..."
