Only after becoming emperor did he realize he was in a fantasy world of immortal cultivation.

Boss Qian glanced at them briefly before ordering his men to put away the two magical artifacts.

Then, he took the prepared reward from the tray held by the servant. "Cultivator Lin, this is a thousand spirit stones and a small token of my gratitude. Please accept it."

Lin Yuan first put the spirit stones into his storage bag, then his gaze swept over the two iron boxes placed on the table.

"What is this?" Lin Yuan asked softly.

With a beaming smile, Boss Qian opened the iron box next to Lin Yuan's left hand and introduced, "Cultivator Lin, this is a piece of spirit iron."

At this point, he opened the remaining iron box and said, "And this is... the fangs of a second-tier demonic beast."

Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly upon hearing this.

These are all excellent materials for refining weapons.

It was truly a thoughtful thank-you gift.

Lin Yuan had no reason to refuse.

Thank you.

After speaking, Lin Yuan waved his sleeve and put these items into his storage bag.

Upon seeing this, Boss Qian's lips curled up into a wide smile, and he said respectfully, "It is I who should thank Cultivator Lin."

After receiving his reward, Lin Yuan went to the office of the Gong Clan.

"Guard Lin, is there anything I can do to help you?" A disciple quickly stepped forward and asked when he saw Lin Yuan.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan stated his purpose directly: "I want to buy a larger yard."

After thinking about it, I explained some of the features I hoped the yard would have.

The disciple had heard Lin Yuanzhi's name countless times every day as he welcomed and saw off guests.

What about repairing the glass lamp, what about entering the main hall to listen to Master Yu's lectures...?

In the Gong Clan, he had heard of many extraordinary figures, and even though Lin Yuan's deeds were already remarkable for someone of his status.

But he listened and that was it; aside from agreeing with some people, he didn't really take it seriously.

Considering he was at least a disciple in name only, and if he was also brought back by the Tenth Elder, he could certainly do what Lin Yuan could do.

But seeing is believing. The moment Lin Yuan stepped into the office, all the stories he had heard before ceased to be just stories.

This person is truly extraordinary.

This was a thought that popped into his mind subconsciously.

Therefore, he listened even more carefully to Lin Yuan's explanation.

After Lin Yuan finished speaking, the disciple quickly introduced him to several courtyards that met his requirements.

In the end, Lin Yuan chose a courtyard that was not too far from his current residence but met all his requirements.

"Cultivator Lin, you only need to pay 1,500 spirit stones." The disciple's eyes were full of smiles, and his tone was respectful.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan readily took out spirit stones from his storage bag.

坊市

Gong Ren and Gong De were strolling on the street at that moment.

"Lin Yuan is only good at weapon crafting, he's not worth all this trouble. In my opinion, just ignore him when you see him." Gong De was always a peace-loving person, and seeing Gong Ren targeting Lin Yuan like this, he couldn't help but feel a little comforted.

"Besides, he was only able to enter the main hall to study because of his weapon-forging talent. But in our Gong clan's territory, there are many people his age with similar talent. In the future, someone will surely surpass him..."

To Gong De, everything before that was nonsense; only this sentence piqued his interest. "Tell me, who is it?"

"The weapon-refining master of Baibaozhai."

"What did you say?" Upon hearing this, Gong Ren felt a surge of anger well up inside him.

That's still Lin Yuan.

Gong De: "I didn't say anything."

He then turned his gaze to four passersby who walked past them and pointed at them, saying, "It's them."

Before Gong Ren could react, the voices of those passersby reached his ears again—

"Don't you know? He's incredibly skilled. My breastplate broke before, and it was that master who fixed it."

"And my dagger, this is my family's heirloom dagger, thanks to the master."

"And did you know that the master can even repair the mid-grade magic weapon, the Yellow Heaven Sword? In short, you can't go wrong by going to Baibaozhai."

The four people's voices became increasingly faint as the distance increased.

Gong De had a bad feeling. He tilted his head slightly and saw that Gong Ren's face was ashen.

Just as he was about to say something, Yu Guangzhong saw Gongsun Yan walking towards them.
