Douluo Amon: I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Dragon King.

Chapter 430 The Auction Invitation

"No need to be so polite. We're comrades, aren't we? These are critical times, and I'll do my best to help you within my capabilities."

Nan Fusheng helped Xu Lizhi up, patted him on the shoulder, and said something earnestly.

"Yes, thank you." Xu Lizhi wiped away her tears and said gratefully.

"Dad, who are they?" Just then, a questioning voice came from behind Nan Fusheng.

The somewhat heavy atmosphere instantly changed.

Gu Yue, holding Fors's arm, peeked out from behind Nan Fusheng.

"Na'er?!" Xie Xie and the others looked at Gu Yuena with some surprise. Although she looked much older, they still mistook Gu Yuena for Na'er.

"Huh? What's going on here?!" Tang Wulin was instantly dumbfounded. He knew that Gu Yuena had lost her memory, but why was she calling Nan Fusheng "Dad"?

To avoid the others from overthinking, Nan Fusheng explained simply: "She has amnesia and considers Fors to be her mother, so when she saw me, who has a close relationship with Fors, she also recognized me as her father."

However, although she resembles Na'er, judging from the current situation, she is not Na'er. The reason I brought her here is because Wu Lin said he had a way to cure her.

"Let me see," a very hoarse voice rang out. A person emerged from the inner room.

When Nan Fusheng saw her, his gaze also sharpened.

Yali had changed. She looked completely different. She was as if she had been dehydrated, her face was pale, and she looked emaciated.

Her once stunning beauty now appeared somewhat withered, and her long hair had turned completely gray.

Hair turns white overnight, that's all.

"Your Majesty, you..."

Ya Li's steps were even a little unsteady as she slowly walked up to Nan Fusheng, shook her head at him, her eyes were red and devoid of any light. She slowly raised her hand, which shone with a soft white light, and gently pressed it against Gu Yuena's forehead.

The most terrifying thing for a person is a dead heart. Without a doubt, the heart of this Holy Spirit Douluo has already gone with the Sky-Supporting Douluo.

Within the white halo released by Yali, Gu Yuena appeared somewhat bewildered, but clearly, she didn't seem to feel anything.

After a moment, Yali slowly withdrew her hand, her brows furrowing slightly. "Her situation is a bit special. Her physical functions are perfectly fine. It's likely that her mental sea was impacted, causing a mutation in her brain nerves, which sealed off her memory bank. That's what led to this amnesia."

Although Nan Fusheng knew the situation, he still asked, "Can her condition be treated?"

Yali said, "It's not easy. The most complex organ in the human body is the brain. The brain is an extremely mysterious entity. According to federal research, the development of the human brain is always limited, and it is impossible to explore all its secrets. We can only roughly divide the brain into some simple sections."

How to intervene in these zones remains unresolved. This is also one of the important research directions in soul-guided technology. Treatment cannot be undertaken rashly; otherwise, a mishap could damage her brain nerves, causing irreversible harm.

Upon hearing her words, Tang Wulin couldn't help but gasp. He knew that the person in front of him was the top healing-type Soul Master on the continent. If even she said that Gu Yuena's condition was troublesome, then it really was troublesome.

Yali said, "You don't need to worry. There's something that can be done about her condition. Relatively speaking, in this situation, as long as we find the right rare and precious herbs, we can help strengthen her bodily functions, including her brain nerves, to restore her normal brain function and thus her memory will naturally return."

"However, the only rare and precious herb I can think of that can cure her condition is called the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum. It's extremely rare and requires at least ten thousand years to mature. If Shrek Academy were still around, we could use the academy's resources to search for it, but now..."

At this point, her eyes instantly dimmed.

Everyone fell silent. Each person felt as if their heart was weighed down with lead. Shrek was gone; their roots were gone.

"Your Majesty need not worry about that, we still have some resources on our side." At this moment, Fors patted Gu Yuena's head and said.

"Yes, thank you for your help. I hope you can contact me after her memory returns. I have some things I'd like to discuss with her in person," Tang Wulin said solemnly.

Even now, Tang Wulin still harbors resentment about Gu Yuena's identity.

Moreover, unlike these people, Fors seems to hold a very high position in the Spirit Pagoda, and she also has a powerful teacher. Given her status, obtaining the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum might not be difficult for her; perhaps the Spirit Pagoda even contains such a rare and precious treasure.

Seeing that Ya Li seemed about to leave, Nan Fusheng hesitated for a moment before carefully saying, "Your Majesty, perhaps the Sky-Supporting Douluo is not dead."

"What!" Ya Li stopped in her tracks, and then everyone present felt a gust of wind pass by. Ya Li's figure disappeared instantly and appeared in front of Nan Fusheng in the blink of an eye, her hands tightly gripping his shoulders.

"What do you mean! Is Ming really not dead?!" Ya Li's eyes were red, and she gripped Nan Fusheng's shoulders tightly with both hands, speaking with a somewhat agitated expression.

Even Tang Wulin and the others looked at Nan Fusheng with some excitement.

The Sky-Piercing Douluo didn't die?

Then their backbone returned instantly! As long as His Majesty Optimus Prime is still alive, with his strength and influence, the idea of ​​rebuilding Shrek Academy will definitely not be empty talk!

Ya Li's expression was somewhat excited, but at the same time, she was also a little apprehensive. Despite being a Super Douluo, she felt like a little girl at this moment, filled with anxiety.

The fact that she could keep living was already a tremendous testament to her willpower, all for the hope of rebuilding Shrek Academy and for the dying wish of the Sky-Supporting Douluo.

As the current head of the Sea God Pavilion, witnessing the destruction of Shrek Academy, Yun Ming's pain was unimaginable. If it weren't for his desire to fulfill his last wish, Ya Li would have followed him long ago.

Now that she knew Yun Ming might not be dead, how could she not be excited! But she was also a little afraid that her hopes would be dashed, so she kept her eyes fixed on Nan Fusheng, her expression pleading, hoping that he wasn't just giving her false hope when he said what he just said.

"Hmm." Nan Fusheng said in a deep voice, "I learned about this from someone else. After learning that Shrek Academy had been destroyed, I immediately came to Shrek City. Since then, I have been constantly mobilizing my resources to search for you."

"Last night, when Fors and I were strolling around outside the Spirit Tower, a masked man in black robes appeared before us. He seemed to know what we were interested in, so he specially gave us an invitation and told us that His Majesty Optimus Prime might not be dead."

"I saw that invitation; it seemed to be for an auction exchange event."

"Could this be a trap?" Tang Wulin said. "After all, you and Fors have special identities and were once students of Shrek Academy. Maybe someone wants to harm you and sent out that invitation to lure you into a trap."

Ya Li's eyes also dimmed somewhat. Yes! Maybe they were just trying to lure Nan Fusheng and his group in with false information. After all, Nan Fusheng seemed to be the governor of Tianhai City, a position of considerable importance.

At this moment, Fors spoke up, "It shouldn't be that bad. I can sense that the person who sent us the invitation has already reached the level of a Super Douluo."

At the same time, the fact that he could accurately locate me and Fusheng indicates that he also has his own intelligence channels and can obtain information about us. Someone with that kind of capability shouldn't be so inclined to personally reveal himself just to scheme against us.

"Furthermore, the invitation also has a prominent address, which doesn't seem like a trap. Most importantly, there's no identification on the invitation, which means that anyone with this kind of invitation could probably attend this auction and exchange meeting."

"If they really wanted to scheme against us, they wouldn't have resorted to this method. After all, we could send someone to participate for us, or bring a few powerful bodyguards. There's no limit to the number of people involved. So, the possibility of it being a trap is very low."

As Fors analyzed, Yali's eyes lit up again.

Humans are like that; when they are stuck in the mud, as long as they are given a little hope, even if it is just a false hope, they will desperately grasp it and then struggle to climb out.

That's the kind of person Holy Spirit Douluo is; Yun Ming is practically everything to her. Now that news has surfaced that Yun Ming might not be dead, even if she doesn't know if it's true or not, she will do everything in her power to verify it.

"Fors and I don't need this invitation, so we'll give it to His Holiness the Holy Spirit. The location of the auction is on the invitation. It's in two days, and it seems there's some kind of verification process before we can attend."

Nan Fusheng handed the invitation to Ya Li, but he chose not to tell her about the possibility that Yun Ming had been abducted by the Holy Spirit Cult. That kind of information was not something someone not present could possibly know.

Besides, people tend to trust the answers they find and discover themselves more than what others tell them. Let Yali find out for herself that Yunming isn't dead; that way, she'll be more convinced.

"Thank you." Ya Li didn't refuse; instead, she thanked Nan Fusheng sincerely. Yun Ming's news was simply too important to her. Even if it might be false, she was determined to find out.

"Your Majesty, there's no need for such formalities."

Nan Fusheng turned his gaze to Tang Wulin and asked, "So, what are your plans or strategies for the future?"

Tang Wulin said, "Let's observe the situation first. Once the situation on the mainland stabilizes, we'll figure out a way to gradually rebuild Shrek Academy. Our first plan is to raise our level to the Two-Word Battle Armor Master level."

Yes, because they had just left Devil Island when Shrek Academy suffered a terrible disaster, so Tang Wulin hadn't had time to upgrade his companions' battle armor levels. Otherwise, Yuanen Yehui and the others wouldn't have had such a difficult time in Shrek City.

"Moreover, my senior master, the divine craftsman Zhenhua, was attacked by an evil soul master in Tiandou City not long ago. He is currently recuperating in another place, and we are preparing to bring His Holiness the Holy Spirit to heal my senior master."

Nan Fusheng nodded. "In that case, you can go ahead. We won't go with you, so as not to attract the attention of anyone with ulterior motives."

"Okay." Tang Wulin didn't object; in fact, he thought so too.

……

Meanwhile, at the headquarters of the Blacksmith Association in Tiandou City.

Because the master craftsman Zhenhua was attacked and his whereabouts are unknown, the entire headquarters of the Forging Masters Association is in a bit of chaos.

As a pillar of the forging world in Douluo Continent, the master craftsman Zhenhua has been mentored by countless blacksmiths. Now that his fate is unknown, the entire blacksmith headquarters is uneasy.

After all, he was a master craftsman!

If a master craftsman capable of forging Heavenly Forged Metal were to die, it would be an absolute devastation to the entire forging world. This means that until a new master craftsman emerges, four-word battle armor will not be possible on the continent.

"Okay, make sure you all stay safe too." Tang Wulin's teacher, the eight-star master craftsman Mu Chen, breathed a sigh of relief and said in a relaxed tone before hanging up the phone.

"How is it?" At this moment, Ao Hongchen's aged voice came.

"It's alright. Zhenhua isn't dead yet, but he's seriously injured and needs treatment from a healing-type Soul Master." Mu Chen nodded, indicating that Ao Hongchen could rest assured.

They were currently in the upper echelons of the Blacksmith Association in Tiandou City. This place originally belonged to Zhenhua, but after he went missing, Mu Chen temporarily took over the office to clean up the mess in the Blacksmith Association for Zhenhua.

Otherwise, given the current state of the Blacksmiths' Association headquarters, who knows what kind of mistakes might occur!

In this top-floor office, besides Mu Chen and Ao Hongchen, there were three other people.

With his platinum blonde short hair and platinum blonde eyes, Lu Fa's expression remained as indifferent as ever. He was currently sitting on the sofa cultivating.

Beside him, a woman with white hair tied in a side ponytail, who looked increasingly radiant with age, was quietly reading a book.

However, she seemed a little absent-minded, and every now and then she would steal a glance at Lu Fa with her big, sky-blue eyes.

Opposite the two, Mu Chen's daughter, Mu Xi, looked at them with a complicated expression, or more precisely, at Lu Fa.

This man is far too stubborn. At such a young age, he is already a Saint-level craftsman with formidable combat power, yet he remains so inflexible when it comes to cultivation.

"With such talent, it's no wonder he has achieved so much at such a young age."

Mu Xi's cultivation level has reached over sixty, partly due to the abundance of rare and precious materials. After all, Mu Xi cares more about improving her blacksmithing skills than cultivating as a Soul Master.
