Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 179 Harvest
"Oh!"

Langsong's body crashed to the ground.

Ji Fuyou turned his head to look at Yao Huang, then glanced in the direction where Xia Feng and the other man's bodies were located...

Whether any bodies remain is now unknown.

Fishmen are not herbivores.

The corpses of Yao Huang and the others in front of him would be completely gone within half an hour of him leaving, not even a single bone would be left.

"So, having gotten used to using their power to oppress the weak, they've all forgotten that they only have one life?"

Ji Fuyou said something.

shook his head.

Incomprehensible.

Power makes people lose their reverence for life and death.

Perhaps only when they truly face death will they realize that shouting "I was wrong!"

Oh, it's not that I know nothing at all.

Xia Feng repeatedly claimed that he knew he had broken the law, but he also brazenly stated that he had paid the price of living in fear and even facing imprisonment and death at some point in the future.

This is the reward he has to reap for his heroic sacrifice.

But actually...

Compared to the staggering and immeasurable gains, the possibility of paying a price is far too small.

In fact, when everyone is doing it, the cost is no longer a cost, but an unspoken rule.

Ji Fuyou cannot control this point.

But when this unspoken rule applied to him...

He can choose different contaminants.

Ignoring unspoken rules.

Use death to awaken them, to make them realize that the cost of being punished for making mistakes still exists.

Composing himself, Ji Fuyou quickly searched the spoils on the group before the fishmen behind them could surround them.

A few minutes later, he escaped from the mermen's encirclement.

……

An hour later, Ji Fuyou stopped in a relatively dry area.

He glanced at the numerous supplies in his hands.

Among these supplies, the most valuable are two genuine divine weapons crafted from shimmering silver.

Next were two longswords forged from frost iron.

Further down the line are S-class and even A-class weapons and inner armor.

Overall, the gains were enormous.

However, these supplies obviously cannot be sold in the short term.

Especially weapons forged from shimmering silver.

Such a divine weapon, once sold, will cause a huge sensation, even if a suitable buyer can be found immediately, let alone whether one can be found.

Compared to the flying swords forged from shimmering silver, frost iron, S-grade inner armor, and weapons are actually easier to handle.

"Weapons forged from frost iron have an average damage of only 13 points, which is less than that of flying swords forged from shimmering silver. However, their lightness and agility make them virtually flawless in both attacking and defending..."

Ji Fuyou decided to remelt and recast the two weapons to make them suitable for his own use.

Fortunately, apart from the weapons and inner armor that were unusable for the time being, there were still many other gains.

Ji Fuyou opened a bag and poured out 31 source crystals of various sizes.

Of these 31 source crystals, 23 are white physical source crystals, 3 are white spiritual source crystals, and 4 are blue physical source crystals. The key point is…

There is also one blue spiritual source crystal.

These are all real, hard currencies.

Among extraordinary individuals, they are more valuable than so-called money.

"Although there isn't a single red source crystal, it's still not bad."

Ji Fuyou said something.

At that moment, he seemed to sense something.

"The authority has been restored."

Void travel is now possible.

At that moment, he wrapped everything in a large cloth, leaving nothing out except for the Zhenhai Spear and other items.

He himself no longer wasted time, carefully sensing the power of authority and rules.

As the void and mist blurred before him, creating visible ripples, Ji Fuyou took a step and disappeared into the waters of the Azure Lake.

Aside from killing a few people, no other traces were left.

And the traces of murder...

They will also be quickly eliminated as the murlocs become more active.

……

The fog gradually dissipated.

The relatively dim cave environment appeared in Ji Fuyou's perception.

"Huanglong Cave!"

25 hours.

They spent a little over a day in the cave, which is consistent with the hunters' activity cycle and shouldn't arouse any suspicion.

Ji Fuyou emerged from the cave, and the surrounding mist quickly dissipated.

As soon as he emerged from the cave, someone immediately recognized him.

Some hunters who considered themselves to be of some status even came up to greet him.

Ji Fuyou responded, and soon he had arrived outside the supply point.

Before he even took out his phone, he had already spotted the golden, glittering Phantom parked outside.

Among a group of SUVs, RVs and similar vehicles, the gold-plated Phantom, while ostentatious and luxurious, clearly stands out from the crowd.

Ji Fuyou arrived at the car and saw Lu Xingchen chatting with someone at a rest stop not far away.

Upon noticing Ji Fuyou's figure, Lu Xingchen quickly ran over.

"Mr. Ji, you've come out?"

"Mm." Ji Fuyou responded, "Is there anything else here? If not, let's head back to Starlight City."

"It's alright, we'll be going now."

As Lu Xingchen spoke, he went to help Ji Fuyou take his things.

Ji Fuyou shook his head, went to the car, and put the many wrapped spoils into the trunk.

At this moment, the middle-aged man who had been talking to Lu Xingchen also quickly stepped forward and greeted him somewhat reservedly, "Hello, Mr. Ji, I am Xu Dengfeng... I have long heard of Mr. Ji's great name, but have never had the chance to meet you..."

"Xu Dengfeng? Dengfeng Martial Arts School?"

What did Ji Fuyou think of?

"it's me."

Xu Dengfeng's face was full of smiles: "Dengfeng Martial Arts School has a fairly complete range of facilities. When Mr. Ji wants to stretch his muscles, he may wish to visit Dengfeng Martial Arts School."

"Ah."

Ji Fuyou responded but didn't say anything more.

Seeing this, Xu Dengfeng, having become acquainted with the person, didn't dare to be rude and quickly withdrew.

Ji Fuyou got into the car, and the golden Phantom, driven by Lu Xingchen, sped towards Starlight City.

At the same time, he briefly introduced himself: "After seeing me, Xu Dengfeng realized that Mr. Ji might have entered Huanglong Cave, so he kept circling around me..."

After saying that, he realized his shortcomings: "From now on, after I drop Mr. Ji off, I will no longer stay outside and wait for Mr. Ji's summons."

"It doesn't matter."

Ji Fuyou waved his hand.

Then, as if he had just thought of something, he asked, "I've heard you say that your Lu family is also a family of traditional martial arts practitioners?"

"Yes."

Lu Xingchen nodded: "If we go back 300 years, the reputation of our Lu family boxing style in the martial arts world at that time was almost no less than that of Zhenwu Mountain. During the time of Lu family's great-grandfather, he also went to Zhenwu Mountain and discussed martial arts with the master of Zhenwu Mountain at that time."

At this point, he let out a sigh of relief: "But ever since my father was shot and killed in a martial arts duel, the Lu family line has declined. Now, I am the only one left who can be considered to have achieved anything in martial arts."

To have achieved something...

Lu Xingchen's internal strength has reached a high level, and he is only half a step away from mastering the ultimate strength.

Such strength was indeed considered to be at the pinnacle of martial arts at that time.

It should be noted that before the fog descended, there were probably no more than ten Grandmasters of Transformation Realm in the entire Federation.

"When you were teaching me swordsmanship, I paid close attention to your sword. It's not a standard weapon; it looks quite extraordinary. Where did you buy it?"

Ji Fuyou asked a question.

"It wasn't bought; my fourth uncle made it for me."

Lu Xingchen said, "In my father's generation, my eldest uncle was a merchant, my father practiced martial arts, my third uncle studied medicine, and my fourth uncle forged swords. It was as if each of them passed down a skill..."

As he spoke, he gave a bitter smile: "Of course, my eldest uncle lost all of our family's meager assets in his business due to bad luck. Under the pressure of debt, he couldn't bear it and chose to jump off a building, ultimately ending up with his family destroyed. My third uncle is also in jail for practicing medicine without a license and for an accident. The only one who is doing a little better is my fourth uncle... He is making a living by promoting and selling weapons online with the help of his daughter."

Ji Fuyou was somewhat taken aback upon hearing this.

The Lu family...

Is it so miserable?
This once prestigious martial arts family, renowned for its martial arts prowess three hundred years ago, has fallen into such decline due to the changing times.
Ji Fuyou pondered for a moment and then asked, "How is your fourth uncle's forging skill?"

"very good."

Lu Xingchen immediately said, "In the Federation, in terms of forging alone, Fourth Uncle is first-rate."

He then quickly added, "The weapons he sells online are not of any reference value. They are forged as exquisitely and beautifully as possible just to increase sales, which is why they give people the feeling of trying to attract attention."

Upon hearing this, Ji Fuyou immediately asked, "Where does he live?"

"It's right outside Starlight City."

"Then go and have a look."

Ji Fuyou said something.

"it is good!"

Lu Xingchen quickly agreed.

sound……

A slight tension arose within them.

Through his conversations with Xu Dengfeng, he gained a deeper understanding of Ji Fuyou's future prospects and potential. If his fourth uncle could really get on Ji Fuyou's good side...

They will be able to completely escape their current standard of living, which is guaranteed regardless of drought or flood, and usher in an immeasurable future.

Ji Fuyou also had his own considerations.

He was thinking of reforging the Frost Iron Sword in his hand, if his fourth uncle, Lu Xingchen, really had the ability...

He wouldn't mind giving them a hand.

He had a premonition that there would be many more opportunities in the future to remelt and remake weapons that were inconvenient to take out.

Training a dedicated foundry engineer is not a bad thing.

……

The vehicle soon arrived at a courtyard on the outskirts of Xingguang City.

The exact location is actually at the foot of Fulong Mountain.

The courtyard is quite large, covering an area of ​​several thousand square meters, and is divided into an inner courtyard and an outer courtyard.

The inner courtyard was clearly intended for use by swordsmiths and forgers.

According to Lu Xingchen, besides his fourth uncle Lu Chang'an, he also has three apprentices.

As for the outer courtyard...

It is an exhibition for the public, and its decoration is quite stylish.

At first glance, the pavilions and terraces are quaint and elegant.

When they arrived, a smartly dressed woman was wielding a very fancy longsword and hacking at some wooden sticks.

Directly in front of her were assistants and even someone specifically responsible for lighting, assisting her in filming the video.

Purpose……

It was clearly online sales.

When Ji Fuyou got off the bus, the girl who was filming the video even recognized him.

She immediately stopped filming and quickly came to greet them.

"Chairman Ji? What brings you here?"
