784. Chapter 782: On the Road There Is a Companion

"Let's discuss it together."

The two began to exchange techniques and insights. They shared the experience they had accumulated in battle, and discussed how to better combine Jiànshù and talismans.

Although they did not find a perfect answer, their clash of thought sparked new inspiration.

Not long after, True Lord Po Tian invited Lu Yuan to become a specially appointed armorer.

This invitation plunged Lu Yuan into contemplation.

The path of armoring was a completely new challenge for him, but also an opportunity to pioneer unknown possibilities.

After careful consideration, Lu Yuan accepted the invitation and planned to go to Wind and Cloud City to explore more possibilities.

On the way, he happened to meet Feng Tianfeng.

Feng Tianfeng told him that work at the shop under Lei Huo Dan Ge was going very smoothly.

Hearing this, Lu Yuan felt relieved.

And for this journey, Feng Tianfeng also decided to accompany him.

Lu Yuan and Feng Tianfeng chatted happily along the way.

Lu Yuan asked Feng Tianfeng whether there was any news of Zi Xi'er's visit, and indirectly expressed his concern and longing for Zi Xi'er.

"Have you heard anything about Zi Xi'er lately?"

Lu Yuan asked, his voice hinting at a trace of anxiety.

Feng Tianfeng looked at Lu Yuan's expression and smiled slightly: "I haven't heard that she visited, but it's also possible I just don't know."

"After all, I work at the shop under Lei Huo Dan Ge and things are going smoothly, so I spend most of my time there."

Hearing this answer, Lu Yuan felt his heart settle a little.

He secretly hoped that Zi Xi'er was healthy and everything was fine.

The two planned to go to Wind and Cloud City together, and on the way they happened to meet Hong Yan, the son of Hong Lietian of the Qingyang Sect.

Hong Yan saw Lu Yuan and Feng Tianfeng and excitedly walked over: "Lu Yuan! Feng Tianfeng!"

"Long time no see! Why are you also coming to Wind and Cloud City?"

Hong Yan and Lu Yuan are fellow disciples of the Qingyang Sect; they previously cultivated together in the Qingyang Sect.

"We happen to have some business to attend to in Wind and Cloud City."

"How are you?"

Lu Yuan asked.

Hong Yan said proudly: "I participated in the recent sect martial arts tournament and achieved good results."

Lu Yuan was happy for Hong Yan, knowing that growing up in the environment of the Qingyang Sect is very important for becoming a truly powerful cultivator.

"Really good! It's great to have such a performance!"

Lu Yuan encouraged.

The three chatted and laughed as they gradually approached Wind and Cloud City.

Upon arrival, they immediately went to the White Dove Auction House to inquire about cooperation and began purchasing new magical artifact materials.

Inside the White Dove Auction House, Lu Yuan asked the staff: "Excuse me, do you have supplies of new magical artifact materials here?"

The staff member smiled and replied: "Of course!"

"We have been seeking and collecting various high-quality magical artifact materials to meet the needs of all cultivators."

"Do you have any specific needs?"

Lu Yuan pondered for a moment and replied: "I need to enhance the power and stability of my magical artifact, especially the talisman portion."

"Could you recommend a few materials suitable for me?"

The staff member glanced at Lu Yuan with slight surprise, but quickly composed himself.

"There is a material called Heaven-Shaking Wood that is very suitable for your needs."

He introduced to Lu Yuan: "It can provide stable, enduring, and powerful energy flow, making it ideal for talisman crafting."

Lu Yuan listened intently and began to discuss the cooperation details with the staff member.

In the communication, they confirmed the purchase plan and delivery time.

After browsing the market, Lu Yuan and Feng Tianfeng entered a shop called Spiritual Artifact Hall.

Here they offer the service of crafting personal exclusive magical artifact embryos, which is extremely attractive to cultivators.

The shop is spacious and bright, displaying various kinds of magical artifact embryos, each emitting a unique energy fluctuation.

Lu Yuan and Feng Tianfeng carefully weaved past other customers and walked toward the counter.

"Welcome to Spiritual Artifact Hall, how can I help you?"

Lu Yuan smiled slightly: "I would like to understand the specific process and requirements for crafting a personal exclusive magical artifact embryo."

The clerk patiently replied: "First, you need to provide the type of magical artifact you want and its functional requirements; we will then customize a magical artifact embryo that meets your needs based on the information you provide."

Lu Yuan nodded: "We need a ice-system long sword suitable for a female cultivator."

Feng Tianfeng also added: "Please also consider whether we can add rune patterns to the sword blade."

The clerk replied: "Yes, adding runes during production is a common request."

"However, please note that customizing a magical artifact embryo requires paying a certain fee, depending on the material cost and the complexity of the crafting process."

Lu Yuan smiled and took out a bag of immortal crystals: "This is the fee; please tell us the next steps."

The clerk accepted the immortal crystals and nodded: "Thank you very much; next I will provide you with a list of materials needed for the production and a table of common rune patterns to choose from, which you can select according to your needs."

Feng Tianfeng took the paper and examined its contents seriously.

Lu Yuan looked at her with slight worry, knowing that armoring was a completely new field for Feng Tianfeng.

He gently patted Feng Tianfeng's shoulder: "Remember, armoring is a very important part of a cultivator's growth; mastering this skill will be of great help to you."

Feng Tianfeng looked up at Lu Yuan, nodded: "I will study hard and do my best to complete this task."

While searching for special spirit beast meat suppliers in the shop, Lu Yuan deliberately avoided some merchants.

Because he planned to make bulk purchases through the White Dove Auction House to conceal his true goal—strengthening the "Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword."

He planned to, while enhancing the power and stability of the magical artifact, raise the power of the Thunder Fire Sword to a new level.

After a busy day, Lu Yuan brought Feng Tianfeng to find a quiet inn in the city to rest and recover his strength.

The inn was quiet and clean, giving a pleasant feeling.

Lu Yuan and Feng Tianfeng found their rooms, put down their luggage, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Lu Yuan sighed: "Today really was a long and busy day."

Feng Tianfeng also smiled and nodded: "But it was worth it."

"Through today's experience, I have gained a deeper understanding of the art of artifact refining."

The two chatted pleasantly for a while, then Lu Yuan took out the prepared materials and demonstrated to Feng Tianfeng the steps and methods for forging a simple magical artifact.

He hoped that through this forging experience, Feng Tianfeng would become more familiar with artifact refining and that he would create a good learning environment for her.

The next morning, Lu Yuan broke his usual routine and did not participate in the small auction event as he usually did.

Instead, he chose to stay in the inn, organizing the sword techniques and talisman knowledge he had mastered over the years, preparing to teach them to Feng Tianfeng. (End of chapter)
