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

He Buxi immediately said casually, "Junior Brother, if I'm not mistaken, this sword should be prepared for Young Master Gong Yi."

"And what about Young Master Wujue?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan's eyes welled up with emotion for a moment, but he showed no emotion when He Buxi's gaze shifted towards him.

He made a decision quickly.

With a slight pursing of his lips and a feigned reluctance, he said, "To be honest, Senior Brother, I... will need a few more days before I can begin refining Young Master Wujue's magical artifact."

Upon hearing this, He Buxi hurriedly asked, "In a few days? Is there some difficulty you're facing, Junior Brother?"

"I'm still missing a refining material." Lin Yuan looked at He Buxi, his dark eyes calm, a stark contrast to the faint anxiety in He Buxi's eyes.

"I wonder if you've ever heard of the 'Wind-Fixing Stone', senior brother?"

Then He Buxi heard Lin Yuan speak slowly.

"I have heard of it," He Buxi nodded slightly.

However, they also understood why Lin Yuan had postponed the refining time.

The so-called Wind-Fixing Stone is a top-grade material for refining weapons.

These are often used to suppress lightning-attribute crafting materials.

As far as he knew, the Gong clan's artifact room did not contain this item.

However, wind-stabilizing stones are not extinct in the market.

However, one needs to find a way in.

Ordinary shops would never display such a rare item.

He Buxi's eyes darted around, many thoughts racing through his mind. After a moment, he said, "Junior Brother's weapon forging is of great importance. Please allow me to ask a question."

"Does Junior Brother have any connections to acquire this Wind-Stabilizing Stone?"

Lin Yuan shook his head and said slowly, "No."

"I'm planning to ask a few more shops in the next couple of days."

Hearing this, He Buxi felt relieved, but his expression was full of regret. "Junior brother, this is where you went wrong."

"Why didn't you tell your senior brother about such a trivial matter sooner?"

"Could it be that Senior Brother has connections?" Lin Yuan's tone rose slightly, seemingly mixed with a hint of joy.

He Buxi smiled and nodded, "Exactly."

"Don't worry, junior brother. I'll get the wind-stabilizing stone. You just focus on refining the weapon."

Lin Yuan: "In that case, I'll have to trouble you, Junior Brother."

A moment later, He Buxi reluctantly returned the "Mysterious Ice Sword" to its rightful owner.

"Take care, senior brother."

Hearing Lin Yuan's voice, He Buxi slowly turned and left.

After a long while, when He Buxi's figure had completely disappeared from Lin Yuan's sight, he withdrew his gaze and casually put the Xuanbing Sword into his storage bag.

Then he took out a glowing stone from his storage bag.

Its shape is neither round nor square.

It's rather strange.

If He Buxi were to see this scene now, he would surely be astonished and exclaim: Isn't this the Wind-Fixing Stone that Junior Brother mentioned is still missing in his weapon-refining process?

Lin Yuan looked at the wind-stabilizing stone in his hand. This stone was a gift from Boss Qian a couple of days ago. He had heard that it was priceless without connections.

This is precisely the time to... lure the snake out of its hole.

Lin Yuan played with the wind-stabilizing stone in his hand while slowly curving up the corners of his mouth.

He wanted to see who was behind this.

......

The Gong Clan's Guest House.

"how?"

Zhou Yan lowered his head slightly and said respectfully, "Miss, the sword light came from Baibaozhai, but the sword has already... been bought by someone."

"Buy it?" Zhou Wanwan scoffed, a hint of displeasure in her eyes, and said coldly, "Won't you buy it back?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan lowered his head even further, but his voice remained steady: "I have searched this place for two days, but... I have not found any trace of the other party."

Zhou Wanwan stood up, her expression unreadable.

Walking to the window, the luxurious and magnificent houses of the Gong clan came into view.

She couldn't be mistaken about the sword light; it was undoubtedly a high-grade magic weapon.

If... it were used to challenge the disciples of the Gong Clan at the celebratory banquet half a month later, it would certainly be a great help.

Thinking of this, Zhou Wanwan's gaze sharpened, but unfortunately...
