Shan-He: "Are you interested in becoming my student? I can teach you about making armors and weapons. I can guarantee you that I can make you the best armors and weapons maker in the country. I can promise you with my experiences for many decades in the field!"

Shan-He said while patting his chest to show his pride in being a master in making armors and weapons because he was a high-level blacksmith. He could make armors without any helps…

When Zheng-Fu heard that he felt grateful and joyful within his heart. He had an idea about tapping into the world of blacksmith too, but he did not know where to begin. So, this was deemed to be a great opportunity for him…

"Respectable Elder! I would love to learn about blacksmith too, but I have to be somewhere tonight. Could I come back another time to pay you respect as my Master to ask you to teach me about blacksmith? What do you think about that?" Zheng-Fu said modestly while cupping his fists and bowed to Shan-He…

Shan-He: "Of course! I have no problem with that, as long as you agree to learn with me. You can come back anytime you are free. I always welcome you to my place!"

Shan-He rushed to reply to Zheng-Fu gladly. Even though Zheng-Fu did not take it today, he promised to come back later. It meant that Zheng-Fu agreed to have him as his blacksmith Master. Shan-He had a lot of students, but most of them could not reach the high level of the blacksmith at all. They were mostly lower-level blacksmiths. Only a few could turn into mid-level ones…

That made him feel very depressed about his existing students. When he heard that Zheng-Fu was Sue-Wu's student, he had the thought that he would compete with Sue-Wu. He wanted to pass on his blacksmith skill to Zheng-Fu to mock Sue-Wu…

Shan-He had no idea that Zheng-Fu was an Advance Alchemist, which was a higher position than Sue-Wu. He only wanted to have some fun with his old friend…

"Thank you very much for giving me your kindness, Elder. But please excuse us now. We have to go. I'll see you next time." Zheng-Fu said while cupping his fists to pay respect to Shan-He. Tong-Kuang and the rest of the group followed suit…

"See you next time!"

When Zheng-Fu's group said goodbye to Shan-He, they headed downstairs and left the shop instantly. Shan-He watched quietly until they were all gone…

Shan-He's facial expression showed that he was completely delighted. The day was quite a day for him. He got to experience a lot only because of Zheng-Fu. He got to see how high the energy that Zheng-Fu's bodyguard, Tong-Kuang, possessed. He also got to witness Zheng-Fu unbound the mysterious trunk. The best thing would be he had a chance to absorb Qi energy which helped his energy level tremendously…

The whole experience revived his spirit. For many years that he had been in the field, he felt like his goal in life was fading away little by little. But now, he felt excited because he had a new goal. It was something very challenging for him…

After leaving Shan-He's shop, Zheng-Fu went straight back to the tavern instantly. When he and the group reached the tavern, they found the other four members of the group sitting and waiting with bored facial expressions, especially Ji-Zhung-Gong and Yan-Yu who liked to look for fun…

However, the minute they saw Zheng-Fu, their eyes sparkled like they saw a beautiful girl…

"Young master!"

"Brother Tong-Kuang! Brother Dan-Chun-Gu!"

Yan-Yu shouted the two names and showed that he was very happy to see the group back. There was a sparkle in his eyes when he saw Tong-Kuang, Dan-Chun-Gu, and Fu-Tao-Qi in their new armors because he could sense the strong and terrifying energy from their armors…

But when Yan-Yu turned to look at Zheng-Fu who was in the middle of the group, the expression in his eyes changed because he was shocked that Zheng-Fu did not come back in new armor. He was wearing his regular outfit…

Wu-Xiao: "Everybody's back!?"

Wu-Xiao also got excited and got up to grab Zheng-Fu's arm instantly. She was taller than him so she had to bend down a little so Zheng-Fu got to get close to her…

"Sister Wu-Xiao!"

"Oh!"

Wu-Xiao just realized that she was very close to Zheng-Fu, so she felt a little shy. Her face got red too. Her reaction to Zheng-Fu surprised everyone in the group because that was not her usual character at all…

Yan-Yu: "Why are you shy like that, Wu-Xiao?"

Yan-Yu asked while making a funny face at her. He also tried to give a piercing look through her body, but she did not feel a thing. She even sent a gesture that she would beat him up if he got near her…

"Whoa!"

When Yan-Yu saw that he quickly changed his gesture and jumped away to Ji-Zhung-Gong's back…

"Hahaha!"

Zheng-Fu could not help but laugh at Yan-Yu and Wu-Xiao together. His face was filled with smiles and joy. Then he coughed lightly…

"Ahem!"

"Alright everyone! It's almost time. Let's go to the mansion of the owner of the city." Zheng-Fu said in a serious manner…

"Yes, sir!"

Everyone registered Zheng-Fu's statement in a serious manner too. It made the people in the area goosebumps because Zheng-Fu's group, at the moment, looked very terrifying. They possessed high energy levels and the armors made them more official and scarier…

Before the group left the tavern, Zheng-Fu taught everybody the technique to hide their genuine energy levels to disguise themselves at the mansion. When Zheng-Fu told the details of the technique, everyone was stunned by the principles of the technique instantly…

The people in the group thought that the technique would be something complicated, but it was so simple that they did not have to contemplate it. After a short while, Zheng-Fu's team knew how to use the technique to disguise themselves…

Zheng-Fu asked everyone to use the technique to control their energy levels at the fifth level of the Foundation Building stage. But he specifically asked Tong-Kuang to hide all his energy levels like him…

It did not take long for Zheng-Fu and the group to reach the mansion of the owner of the city. There were many guards in front of the entrance of the mansion and around the place. These guards possessed at least the fifth level of the Foundation Building stage…

"Stop!"

When the guards that oversaw the entrance gate saw Zheng-Fu's group, they rushed to block the group and told the group to stop…

Guard: "Who are you guys? What do you want?"

"Hello, brother security guard! We're invited to join the feast that the owner of the city holds!" Zheng-Fu said politely while smiling at the guard…

When the guard heard that, he did not seem to believe it. But he was startled by how Tong-Kuang and the rest looked in their armors. They were completely horrifying…

Guard: "Well, then wait for a moment. I'll get someone to report to the owner of the city. What do you want him to tell the owner of the city who you are…"

"Let them in!"

As soon as the guard finished his sentence, a middle-aged man ordered the guard loudly to let Zheng-Fu and the group in. The man walked out to the entrance slowly with an intimidating look. People could tell easily that he must be somebody. When the guard turned back to the direction of the man's voice, he cupped his fists to pay respect to him…

"Respecting Commander Lu-Zu!"

"Act at ease!"

The Commander said while gesturing to the guard to be at ease. He then turned to Zheng-Fu, cupped his fists, and said…

Lu-Zu: "Respecting great martial artists. The owner of the city has been waiting for you. Please come on in!"

The Commander talked to Zheng-Fu and his group with genuine modesty because he was at the fight at the Cave of the Immortals too. He witnessed how Zheng-Fu defeated the leader of the black-outfit men. So, he did not think to demean him…

But the most important thing was, the Commander felt the terrifying vibe from Tong-Kuang. He believed that Tong-Kuang must be as strong as him…

"Thank you very, Commander." Zheng-Fu also cupped his fists and said thanks to the Commander with modesty too…

Lu-Zu smiled inside when he saw Zheng-Fu's gesture. He admired Zheng-Fu for his modesty…

The Commander led Zheng-Fu and the group to the mansion. The security guards at the gate looked at one another with confusion because they did not expect to see the Commander, the right hand of the owner of the city, show that much respect to Zheng-Fu. It made them worried about their harsh attitude towards Zheng-Fu and the group…

Guard: "Who are those people? How come the commander gave them that much respect?"

Guard: "I heard that when the Cave of the Immortals was attacked, a group of martial artists came to rescue the owner of the city. I guess it was them!"

Now, the security guards were talking about Zheng-Fu's group that was disappearing into the mansion of the owner of the city…

The outer part of the mansion was a big garden with a lot of soldiers that guarded the place. When the group walked further, they saw a gigantic lawn that the soldiers of the owner of the city used to practice martial arts…

All of a sudden, Zheng-Fu felt some kind of energy that was monitoring him and his group in a secret place around the mansion…

Zheng-Fu whispered to his men to be aware of what he suspected. He wanted them to be prepared at all times. Everyone registered Zheng-Fu's words in a calm state of mind…

Not long after that, the group arrived at a huge door. When the door was opened, they were led into a big hall that was full of many people. They all dressed up in several different styles. It looked like they were either millionaires or celebrities…

When Zheng-Fu's group entered the place, the crowd stopped chatting instantly while turning to look at them. They all wondered who Zheng-Fu and his group were…

???: "Who are those people? How come I'd never seen them?"

???: "Yeah! But judging from the way they dress, I think they might be someone important from somewhere…"

The people at the feast chatted about the appearances of Zheng-Fu and his men. No one knew them. But looking at the way they dressed, the people thought that they must be famous martial artists from outside of the city that the owner of the city invited…

"Whoa!"

"You're here!"

All of a sudden, the owner of the city greeted Zheng-Fu with excitement when he saw the boy. Then he looked around Zheng-Fu before letting out a smile…

"Respecting, the owner of the city!" Zheng-Fu said while cupping his fists and bowing…

"Respecting, the owner of the city!"

The rest of the group also paid respect to the owner of the city. They made the greeting look firm and credible…

The owner of the city: "Please make yourselves at home. The feast tonight is especially for all of you!"

The owner of the city said while smiling at Zheng-Fu. The people around them were surprised to hear that from the owner of the city. They just got invited to the feast that afternoon to join the feast that they did not know what the occasion was for…

When those people heard that the feast was held for Zheng-Fu's group, they frowned and did not know how to react because they did not know why the owner of the city held a feast for Zheng-Fu's group…

"Ahem!"

The owner of the city: "Greeting everyone! I think you all know about the attack at the Cave of the Immortals. The reason why I invited you here tonight was that I would like you to celebrate the braveries of these great martial artists who helped me defeat the bad guys…"

"The great martial artists that helped the owner of the city!?"

???: "Is he saying that this group of people helped him?"

???: "It's unbelievable! Looks like that boy is the leader of the group guys!"

???: "He's still so young!"

The people at the feast started to talk about what they just heard while looking at Zheng-Fu who was in the middle of the group. Zheng-Fu knew well that the people at the mansion talked about him, but he did not want to pay attention to them…

The owner of the city: "Can I talk to you in private?"

"Of course, the owner of the city!"

Zheng-Fu agreed to the request of the owner of the city right away. He turned to his men and said, "I need to talk to the owner of the city. You guys go enjoy the feast, but don't forget about what I told you earlier." Zheng-Fu walked away with the owner of the city after he finished the sentence…

"Yes, young master!"
