"This...is a priceless treasure! Why do you throw it at me?!" she asked. Her voice was trembling as she couldn't help but pull out a rare ore one by one to look at them.

"I am not a spiritual blacksmith, and I don't know how to forge these ores into metals. Since you are a blacksmith, I will hand them over to you. All the weapons you will make with it, I will buy, and the same applies to armor. If you want to keep any items, then you can keep them. Just don't sell them to outsiders." Yan Xiaobao smiled, his words make a lot of sense. These ores are real treasures that no one can get in this world, but they are sitting here in front of cou     ling.

“Forging is a gift I give you. Although you already have a forging, I’m sure this one is small, but it helps you a lot. It originates in the same place as the ore.”

cou     Ling was already busy watching the forging, and her eyes were filled with disbelief. "This forging is full of energy I have never seen before," she mumbled, as her hands slowly felt certain carvings. The more she observed the forging, the more she felt that this forging was not ordinary.

cou     Ling is so focused on the new forging that she forgot everything about Yan Xiaobao standing beside her; on the contrary, she began to forge a normal ball of black iron. The more she exercises, the wider her eyes will be.

Completed the sword, spent an hour on the new forging, looking at Yan Xiaobao with big eyes. "This forging is so precious. The inner energy allows me to make weapons faster than before, and it also uses the energy inside the forging to inject energy into them, making them much stronger than any other weapon I have created. It feels like they are at a higher level! Of course, this is not a sword."

"Let me see the sword." Yan Xiaobao said with a smile, holding the sword in his hand. He could instantly feel the inner energy. This sword was made of simple black iron, completely different from other weapons he had seen cou      Ling.

"This is equivalent to a weapon of the saint ranking!" Lan Feng said shocked. "When she is not a saint, it is so shocking to be able to create one!"

When he looked at the sword in his hand, Yan Xiaobao nodded slowly.cou     Ling has been recognized as the best spiritual blacksmith in the country, but now she can easily be considered the best spiritual blacksmith in the entire plane because she received the forging.

"I can't even start to thank you for everything you did for me," said Ling emotionally. "I want to keep this forging. Give up is amazing. I will spend more time understanding whether the internal power will constantly replenish myself so that every weapon that is the same. If it does, I will start selling them, but, if the energy is limited, then I will keep the weapons I made for you." She said decisively. She fully understands that Xiaobao needs amazing weapons to give to his friends and family.

"That's all I need to know." Yan Xiaobao smiled and said goodbye, then jumped into the air. He jumped to the roof again. With a glance at the blacksmith, Huiyue rushed to the top of the building and headed towards his next stop. The black lion saw his good friend Gao Yan.

For Yan Xiaobao, traveling on buildings is easier because no one needs to be wary of. He can move the buildings without restrictions and can travel every kilometer in the blink of an eye.

At this speed, it didn't take long before he reached the Black Lion, and he quickly got off the road again. In this part of the town, people were moving much less in the busy shopping areas and at the entrances of the city, but there were still enough people who looked surprised because Yan Xiaobao seemed to be everywhere.

Ignoring the eyes they made, Yan Xiaobao immediately entered the hotel in front of him. Without talking to the bar owner or looking around the room, he walked towards the stairs and entered all the floors of Gao Yan. He entered Gao Yan's information collection headquarters.

Knocking at the door, Huiyue did not wait for anyone to answer to enter the office. When he immediately slid into the room, he did not wait for anyone to open the door for him. Gao Yan told him many times that he regarded the headquarters as his home, so Yan Xiaobao did this.

Entering the room, everyone quickly glanced at him to see who entered, but after recognizing him, no one gave him any extra attention. Yan Xiaobao walked easily to the table at the far end of the room. He walked towards the table belonging to Gao Yan, looking at him with a bright smile on his face, waiting for his friends to approach him.

"What can I do for you?" he asked as soon as he heard Yan Xiaobao's words. The white-haired young man threw another stone at Gao Yan. "I prepared this for you." He said with a smile as he sat in front of his black-haired friend.

Gao Yan immediately opened it and found him a set of weapons and armor. Both had a halo of some kind of energy that he could not place anywhere. It was obvious that they were loot in the grave, items that others would kill. However, Yan Xiaobao was given away weapons and armor here, as if nothing had happened.

While searching for the storage stones, he also found pills and memory stones of various colors, including information about each pill of all his talents.

For those below saint     rank, this storage stone is a real treasure. Even if he is a saint, he will still value the contents of the storage stone.

He was grateful deep in his heart, and Gao Yan quickly looked at Yan Xiaobao but said nothing. He knew that there was no need to thank his good friends, but that he left this attitude deeply in his heart.

"What kind of information can I find for you?" Gao Yan asked instead. Yan Xiaobao was very happy to see his friend accepting the stone. As a result, a smile appeared on his face as he started to speak.

"Many saints died in the graves. Some were killed by other saints, some were killed by traps, and some were killed by me." Yan Xiaobao said that his words had no emotion at all, but the meaning they brought made Gao Yan's back chill. "I need to know which saints died in the graves, and all your information about the dead and all your information about the surviving saints. I also need you to investigate what happened to Shayun. She has not returned home, nor has I met a friend of her," he said casually. Shayun is strong and smart. She is likely to live somewhere, but she is likely to forget to go home.

Gao Yan nodded, sent a memo, and then he called several people to help him. After receiving the order, he quickly asked the employees to start collecting information and then smiled at Yan Xiaobao.

"It will take me a few days to get all the information you need. Why don't we eat something in the best restaurants in this city? I have some information about the Third Prince, which I believe you want to know." Gao Yan snickered, making Yan Xiaobao more and more interested. News about the Third Prince? He was immediately attracted.

Huiyue and Gao Yan left the Black Lion's room together and walked towards Yushui Pavilion, entertainment house in Muchuan City.

Although Yan Xiaobao knew where he had never been, because his focus was on training or exploring at home. However, here, he and Gao Yan headed to Yushuiting together, eager to hear what his friends said to the Third Prince. Even if it was bad news, Yan Xiaobao would be interested in any gossip.

Gao Yan and Yan Xiaobao are both cultivators, so they can quickly pass through the city. Before they reach Yushui Pavilion, they only took a few minutes to pass through the roof of the city.

Huiyue stood in front of the exhibition hall and opened the door and went in. He was very curious about the place, and he looked around the dim room with great enthusiasm.

Many experts and some mortals sat in the hall. When they flirted with them, the women sat by their side and kept pouring the wine into their glasses. They convinced customers to buy more and more wine until their pockets were empty and they no longer had any interest in their owners.

Seeing Yan Xiaobao and Gao Yan enter the store, a beautiful woman walked towards them in an instant, and her hips swayed from side to side. She was very seductive, and even Yue raised her eyebrows.

Although Yan Xiaobao approved the appearance of this woman, he has finally successfully courted Wang Julong. In his opinion, no other woman is as beautiful as her, and her personal halo is the most charming thing in the world.

Seeing that her temptation had no effect, the smile on the woman's face became a little nervous, but she still walked towards them.

"Master Gao, I saw you bring a friend today. Should I prepare my usual room?" she asked, her voice soft and charming, and her movements were tempting because she moved the whole focus to Gao Yan.

Gao Yan nodded and began to track the lady. Yan Xiaobao didn't know how quickly the Yushuiting incident followed them.

They walked into the hall full of customers and entered a quieter area with the door leading to the private room. Walking through the private room, they left the building and entered another building with three separate rooms. This was obviously the VIP room, and I was surprised to hear that Gao Yan could reach them. He imagined it was a room for the royal family or senior experts.

"It was my usual space when talking to more important clients," Gao Yan explained, as they walked into the back door of the room closed. Four beautiful girls were waiting for them inside; the floor was filled with mats and pillows to make it comfortable, and a small table was placed in the middle; one was filled with fruit, delicious food and wine.

"Please forgive us girls; we need to have a private conversation." Gao Yan said with a smile on her face, and when they stood up and left the room, the girls all laughed and made fun of him.

"In the VIP room of Yushui Pavilion, no one listened to the conversations of the people here. However, all other rooms were eavesdropped." Gao Yan said casually, and he poured the wine into two crystal glasses placed on the table and placed one of them in front of Yan Xiaobao.

“These rooms are only for extremely important people who have good relationships in Muchuan City or Sun King. I can buy one of these rooms because Yushuiting and my Black Lion are great business partners. Jade                                                                                                        

"Anyway, I'm sure you're not interested in hearing my partnership, but about the third prince." He snickered, really, Yan Xiaobao's eyes were full of curiosity. He moved forward slightly as he looked at his friend opposite him.

“The person who lost the most support during the attack on the grave was the Third Prince. While he did not lose all the saints to support him, he lost about half of it, and some of the saints who had returned had begun to ignore him. Among them, I think that means they may have changed their loyalty.”

"The third prince was very desperate," Gao Yan continued. "He knew he was no longer the first to ascend the throne, so he began to look for other allies. His latest attempt was to convince his sister to support him. He thought that if he had his sister to support him, she would talk to their father about it. If that happens, the water would be as good as the king, because their father valued his daughter's opinions very much."

"Unfortunately, his sister was reluctant to do this. She never said it directly, but she never agreed. Although... something interesting happened. The princess has begun to collect her own followers, and somehow it is not as difficult as people think. The princess is popular, and many experts who support the king turn to the princess. Some of the experts of the prince have also changed."

"The three princes all knew what was going on, but they didn't seem to believe she would actually be attending because she was a woman."

Gao Yan has been talking for a while, and when he heard what his friend said, Yan Xiaobao smiled happily. "I was talking to the princess before going to the grave," Yan Xiaobao shrugged. "I asked her why she didn't want to be the new queen of the Sun Kingdom, and she seemed to realize that she could actually be as equal as the princes. I should visit her again; if she could get some support from the third prince, she was doing me a big favor," he grinned.

Gao Yan was surprised to hear this news. He had never heard of it before, and he had many people stationed in the castle, but because their conversation was short and there was no one around, it was obvious that no one knew about it.

"Well, I told you everything I have to say," Gao Yan smiled. "I don't have any information about other factions, because I'm just paying special attention to the third prince for my dear Zhu Long and Wu. I know how much they want to take revenge." Gao Yan and Yan Xiaobao both sighed. They both knew that Yan Xiaobao had considered getting rid of the prince in the grave, but had no chance to do so. Therefore, Yan Xiaobao's escape from him in the outside world was the only option.

"Okay, let's drink and eat something together." Gao Yan said happily with a bright smile on his face. "After all, we are in Yushui Pavilion. Let's spend some time enjoying ourselves."

"Let's do it," Yan Xiaobao smiled and agreed to him lift the crystal glass and toast Gao Yan.

Gao Yan and Yan Xiaobao talked about the old times in the academy, walking for an hour and an hour. They talked about what happened to Yan Xiaobao in the dungeon and Shenyuan. During these years, Gao Yan has been busy building the huge network of Black Lions. At first, it was just a small hotel, but soon became a prosperous center for all information in the Sun King. Gao Yan had gone from a simple citizen to an important figure in the struggle for aristocratic power. Because of fear that he would no longer cooperate with them, no one dared to underestimate him, and at the same time, no one dared to fire as the maids and male servants they thought were bringing information to the Black Lion.

The conversation between the two friends went smoothly; both of them enjoyed it very much. Gao Yan and Yan Xiaobao rarely spent it alone, but Gao Yan never forgot what Yan Xiaobao did for him.

Back at the academy, Gao Yan was seriously injured and even paralyzed. If Yan Xiaobao had not been asked to pay a heavy price to invite a wooden therapist to treat his dantian and then hand him a new cultivation technique, then he would not have reached his current height. Although this was something they had never talked about, Yan Xiaobao seemed to have completely forgotten this, but Gao Yan had already engraved this posture in his heart. He was willing to do anything for Yan Xiaobao.

The two friends finally spent a lot of time at Yushuiting, and they finally broke up because the day was about to end.

"Come to visit me for a week," Gao Yan said with a smile. "In a week, I will collect information about all the saints who died in the grave, their faction, and what is their current power in Muchuan City. Oh, I will also find some information about Sha Yun and her team." They said with a smile that they broke up outside Yushuiting.
