Chapter 302: Liantian Workshop

Shen Xing couldn’t help but smile.

Clearly, for a Seventh Realm expert, even with the existence of a restriction, this restriction didn’t actually have absolute binding force.

However, this didn’t mean that Shen Xing had no way to deal with him.

He simply made a simple movement—he took out another jade talisman from his bosom.

Lu Jian’s expression changed drastically!

There was another one?

With his eyesight, he could naturally perceive its authenticity with utmost clarity!

He could even sense that this one wasn’t from the same person as before, but it seemed even more powerful!

Just how many Seventh Realm experts were behind this person? And they were even willing to damage a strand of their Divine Soul to protect him?

“May I know your name?” Shen Xing played with the jade talisman in his hand, a smile on his face, but his gaze was fixed on the person before him.

Lu Jian’s emotions churned, changing again and again, but in the end, he still revealed a smile.

“Young Master Shen can just call me Lu Jian.” He came before Shen Xing, his Divine Soul still focused on the jade talisman, and he found that the Divine Soul within this talisman would stir restlessly upon his attention, which made him feel disheartened.

This one could actually be activated passively.

He didn’t even have a chance to launch a sneak attack.

But the more this was the case, the more amiable the smile on his face became.

Not to mention the restriction in his mind, just the experience of nearly dying had almost worn away his arrogance as a Seventh Realm expert.

Because he knew clearly that this seemingly insignificant Mountain and Sea Realm kid before him truly had the ability to kill him, and he had almost succeeded.

“Lu Jian?” Shen Xing nodded slightly, “I won’t stand on ceremony either. Today, you took the initiative to come looking for trouble, so you naturally have to pay the price. A thousand years is but a blink of an eye for you, and it might not necessarily be without benefits.”

Lu Jian sneered inwardly.

A mere Mountain and Sea Realm kid actually dared to treat him like a subordinate.

But then he had to admit dejectedly that the other party was right.

It seemed that he couldn’t escape this retribution now.

“What, you don’t believe me?” Shen Xing smiled, “Back then, I told that Holy Son of your Sword Tomb that my family has an Eighth Realm expert, but he didn’t seem to believe it. But it’s the truth. Today, although you haven’t seen an Eighth Realm expert, with my family’s Senior’s cultivation level, how much longer would it take to reach the Eighth Realm? A hundred years? A thousand years?”

Lu Jian’s expression finally changed again.

That’s right, this was what he feared the most.

If it were just a Seventh Realm Completion expert, they wouldn’t have been able to suppress him to this extent with just a strand of their Divine Soul.

However, that person had truly touched upon the aura of a Great Sage!

Indeed, there shouldn’t be any Eighth Realm experts in this world now, or rather, all the Eighth Realm experts had left. But if it was a newly ascended one, before leaving, they could easily crush him and the entire Sword Tomb Sacred Ground with a single hand!

Moreover, from this perspective, the power behind the other party most likely did have an Eighth Realm expert!

Lu Jian’s expression and emotions changed again and again. Finally, he raised his hand and said, “Young Master Shen, this old man was in the wrong. Whatever you need this old man to do, just say it.”

This “Young Master Shen” was clearly different from before.

Shen Xing laughed heartily.

The laughter grew louder and louder, echoing through the heavens and the earth, without any concealment. And everyone, even the Sun and Moon Ancestor of the Tianyuan Sect, lowered their heads in envy and submission.

And Shen Xing’s heart was indeed filled with immense satisfaction.

Although the process was somewhat unexpected, he was truly satisfied with this outcome.

The appearance of a Seventh Realm subordinate, even if not entirely sincere, as long as he could borrow his power to a certain extent, then many of the problems he was currently facing would basically be solved.

After laughing, he directly beckoned to Lu Jian.

“Come, come, let’s talk slowly.”

Lu Jian smiled bitterly in his heart, but things had come to this, so he no longer hesitated.

He followed Shen Xing directly into the Mysterious Dragon Secret Realm.

“This secret realm is indeed profound,” Lu Jian said, “But that’s all. Compared to my Sword Tomb Sacred Ground’s secret realm, it’s far inferior.”

“But this is the most suitable for me,” Shen Xing waved his hand, “Suitable is enough.”

“Why doesn’t Young Master Shen cultivate at home?” Lu Jian asked with some urgency.

This was indeed what he wanted to know.

He had to say, the reason he dared to come, and even attack, was largely because Shen Xing was cultivating in this dilapidated secret realm.

Even though this secret realm was a rare cultivation holy land for Mountain and Sea Realm, and even Sun and Moon Realm experts, with this person’s background, it should be completely insignificant.

Just thinking about it made Lu Jian feel stifled.

“You are a Seventh Realm expert, I won’t lie to you. To tell you the truth,” Shen Xing waved his hand and said, “We are different from you. Although we are a whole, if outstanding disciples within the clan want to create their own world, they have to work hard on their own, even creating their own forces from scratch. The family will only provide some important support, ensuring basic safety. Well, you can consider us as a country with a feudal system, only it’s more closely connected, more free, and with more rules.”

Lu Jian was enlightened.

But he felt even more stifled.

He could tell that the other party was telling the truth, but this kind of system was indeed very rare.

Both united and dispersed, with both rules and no rules.

No one would have guessed in this direction.

However, Lu Jian had also roughly guessed Shen Xing’s needs.

“So, Young Master Shen is going to build his own force?” he asked again.

◈◈◈

“That’s right,” Shen Xing nodded, “I have already established it, but its strength is still weak, and I don’t want to expose it, giving others a weakness. So, I arranged it in a small place, relying on the family’s allocated treasures to come and go. And precisely because of this, the growth of the force requires a large amount of resources, and also a large amount of technology. These all require me to find a way myself. Therefore, I chose the Eastern Ruins Land.”

“I see,” Lu Jian understood everything.

He felt even more that the power behind the other party was unfathomable.

Because, such a powerful force, he had never even heard of it.

This was clearly a display of astonishing means.

“Enough with the idle talk,” Shen Xing narrowed his eyes and asked directly, “Have you heard of the Furnace Heaven Region?”

“Furnace Heaven Region?” Lu Jian was a little puzzled.

“It’s a place that specializes in gathering alchemists and artifact refiners. It should be a sacred ground,” Shen Xing explained further.

“It’s Liantian Workshop,” Lu Jian suddenly realized.

“Liantian Workshop?” Shen Xing heard this name for the first time.

“Young Master Shen doesn’t even know about Liantian Workshop?” Lu Jian seemed a little surprised.

“Before leaving home, I knew nothing about this place,” Shen Xing said frankly.

Lu Jian could still tell that this was not a lie.

He couldn’t help but shake his head, and shake his head again.

He couldn’t understand the power behind Shen Xing at all, and only felt that it was even more mysterious and powerful.

But because of this, he regretted it even more.

Such a mysterious power, and he actually just listened to the one-sided words of that Holy Son, and came here without knowing anything, throwing himself into a trap!

Simply foolish to the extreme!

If not for this, how could he have ended up in front of this person, forced to listen to the arrangements of a mere Mountain and Sea Realm kid!

Lu Jian was filled with great hatred, but he still honestly said, “Liantian Workshop is an old sacred ground. It once had an Eighth-Grade Artifact Refiner. Its strength is among the top five among all the sacred grounds in the entire world. In terms of status, no one can compare. The workshop is filled with countless heavenly materials, earthly treasures, divine weapons, and sharp weapons. My Sword Tomb Sacred Ground also purchases many pills and divine weapons from Liantian Workshop.”

Shen Xing understood.

Just hearing this, he felt that this place truly lived up to its reputation.

No wonder it could gather all the alchemists and artifact refiners in the world, and even build such a region.

“I want their pills, and I also want their inheritance,” Shen Xing said directly.

Lu Jian, a dignified Seventh Realm expert, almost choked.

He really dared to say it.

Who in the world wouldn’t want the pills of Liantian Workshop, who wouldn’t want the inheritance of Liantian Workshop?

That was the place where the essence of the two great paths of alchemy and artifact crafting in the entire world was gathered.

“Not necessarily at the Seventh Realm level. For now, the Sixth Realm is sufficient,” Shen Xing said again, “It’s just for the development of my own forces. This shouldn’t be too difficult, right?”

“I see,” Lu Jian nodded slightly, and suddenly smiled, his old face wrinkling, and he said slowly, “This matter, it’s difficult to say it’s difficult, and it’s easy to say it’s easy.”

“Oh?” Shen Xing made an expression of wanting to hear the details.

“Inheritances below the Seventh Realm are relatively simple. Liantian Workshop doesn’t strictly guard against them, but they only allow outsiders to enter and learn, and then leave. They don’t allow them to take the inheritance directly,” Lu Jian obviously had a lot of understanding of Liantian Workshop, “As for pills, Liantian Workshop has always been open to trade, with clearly marked prices. It just depends on what one can offer.”

Shen Xing narrowed his eyes.

He had some guesses about the clearly marked prices.

After all, for a force like this, if they didn’t sell pills and divine weapons, they would undoubtedly be giving up the opportunity to make huge profits.

Creating value was originally the biggest characteristic of the alchemy and artifact crafting paths in this world.

However, they actually allowed outsiders to enter and learn?

He had been thinking about monitoring the flow of personnel in the Furnace Heaven Region, in order to find a way to send people in.

But now it seemed that it might not be so troublesome?

“What is the process for outsiders to enter and learn?” Shen Xing asked again.

“Does Young Master Shen intend to go in?” Lu Jian saw through Shen Xing’s thoughts at a glance.

And Shen Xing didn’t mean to hide it, and nodded directly, “That’s right. I also have talent in artifact refining. In addition, people in my clan also have experience in artifact refining. We should learn from each other.”

“If that’s the case, Young Master Shen can use the name of my Sword Tomb Sacred Ground,” Lu Jian’s eyes lit up, and he agreed without hesitation.

Going to that Liantian Workshop to learn, naturally, one couldn’t bring a Seventh Realm expert along.

As long as he sent Shen Xing in, he wouldn’t have to be threatened by a mere Mountain and Sea Realm expert all day long.

Then he could find his friends, pay some price, and in a hundred years or so, he should be able to remove the restriction in his Divine Soul.
