Yunlong City, Hall of Hundred Arts.
Zhu Jingfang was extremely efficient.
On the third day after meeting with Wang Chen, this Purple Mansion cultivator of the Zhu family brought Wang Chen to the Underground Fire Cave under the Hall of Hundred Arts to meet Artifact Refining Master Huo Zhenghai!
The Hall of Hundred Arts held a very special position within the Yunyang Sect.
This hall gathered highly accomplished cultivators in fields such as alchemy, artifact refining, talismans, formations, beast taming, and spiritual plants.
Master-level figures were everywhere.
The White Jade Rice Wang Chen had once grown in the Outer Sect, as well as the Yellow Millet Rice and Black Sesame Rice he was growing now, all had seeds cultivated by the Spiritual Plant Masters of the Hall of Hundred Arts.
Thus, the Hall of Hundred Arts held a high and rather mysterious status within the sect.
It was somewhat like the national academy of sciences from Wang Chen's Previous Life.
The Underground Fire Cave was a place dedicated to artifact refining.
It extended a hundred zhang beneath the ground, using formations to draw up the earth-vein fire of Tianyun Mountain and supply three Magic Treasure refining furnaces.
Huo Zhenghai, who presided over one of those furnaces, was exceptionally burly. He stood a full head taller than Wang Chen, with a lion's nose, a wide mouth, and a fierce, imposing face. The muscles across his bare upper body bulged and knotted, and his overwhelming presence was no weaker than the blazing earth-fire!
Upon seeing this Purple Mansion cultivator, Wang Chen hurriedly bowed. "Disciple Wang Chen greets you, Senior!"
"I already know why you've come."
Huo Zhenghai nodded and asked, "What kind of Flying Sword do you want?"
Without hesitation, Wang Chen explained his ideas.
Limited as he was by the cost.
