Chapter 442: Imprisoned for Fifty Years Inside the main hall of the Lihuo Sect's branch in Qiyun Valley, the sect leader was holding the list brought by Elder Wei of the Jinmao Hall. He glanced at it and couldn't help but grit his teeth. Elder Wei, with a gray beard, observed the situation and said, "Why, is it that I am not qualified, or are you worried that I, Jin Maotang, will not return the things I borrowed?" The leader of the Lihuo Sect waved his hands and smiled bitterly, saying, "Elder Wei, I really don't have these materials on me. If you really want them, you'll have to wait. I'll have someone go back to the sect to raise the materials." Anyway, we are on this island, so it is only a matter of a few steps. Elder Wei leaned back in his chair and waved his hand, saying, "Hurry up, we need it urgently." "Okay, please wait a moment, I will go and explain." The leader of the Lihuo Sect said politely and left with an excuse. He had just gone outside and handed the list to a disciple beside him to handle, when another disciple hurried over and reported, "Master, Elder Hu of the Jihuo Sect wants to see you." The leader of the Lihuo Sect was speechless, then turned around and exchanged glances with the elders beside him, all of whom were surprised and suspicious. The latter chuckled, "Of course, you're here to borrow materials again." The leader of the Lihuo Sect frowned and said, "This is weird. Why do they all come to our Lihuo Sect to borrow materials?" The elder said, "Maybe it has something to do with Shi Chun. According to the information reported by the disciples below, Shi Chun happened to go to these houses."

The leader of the Lihuo Sect frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Whether it's related or not, we can't interfere in the affairs of those big sects. The biggest problem now is, why do they have to borrow from us?" He turned around and pointed in the direction of the main hall, "Shudao Mountain and Yanbao Sect just borrowed a lot. Now we have to find a way to raise the things that Jinmao Hall wants. How can we afford what Jihuo Sect needs?" Even so, what else could he do? He didn't dare to be arrogant, and he had to run to the door to greet him in person. But there was nothing to be vague about, as they really couldn't take it out. As soon as the person from Jinmaotang brought up the topic, the leader of the Lihuo Sect directly raised three fingers and made it clear that there was no more money. Three families had already come to borrow. I don't know what you are doing, but you really can't take it out. The elder from Jinmaotang who came to borrow something was stunned for a moment, then he understood what was going on. He didn't make things difficult, and after asking which three families came to borrow, he left and went directly to other sects to borrow, even in a hurry. I'm a little worried that if I'm slow, other sects will borrow all of their knowledge. Although I know that almost all weapon-refining sects gather here, I am still afraid of the unexpected. What if someone plays tricks? If the news really gets out that Jin Maotang failed to buy Shi Chun, it would be a lot of fun. He knew the nature of each faction very well. Do you expect them to tell you the news for free? Not to mention that they paid a price, even if they didn't pay a penny, they would not tell you easily. As long as you are not qualified to take the stage, you may be stepped on at any time. As the elder in charge of this matter, he naturally could not allow such a mistake to occur. If he couldn't even handle such a small matter properly, he would not be able to explain to the sect later. The Jihuo Sect spent some time and finally gathered all the items on the list, and then sent someone to bring back Shi Chun, who was "resting temporarily". The old routine that cannot get out of the framework, the first thing to do is to clarify the responsibility of the authenticity of the news. For Shi Chun, this process was not difficult at all, mainly because the other party needed it. By the time he came out of the Jihuo Sect's base, it was already daybreak, and the sunlight gave the 'Divine Fire Spirit Gate' spinning in the air a layer of mysterious golden glow. Young Master Nan and others who had received the items on the list first were already waiting outside. Wu Jinliang was also there, laughing happily. He came forward and said hello, "The list has been delivered to Jinmaotang." So Shi Chun took out the rest of the list and handed it to him, "You can just deliver the rest to each household as well." "It's a small matter." Wu Jin waved his hands and took Chu Jingtang for a walk. Shi Chun took Master Nan and Tong Mingshan to Jinmaotang where they were staying. The items on the next customer's list have been prepared, so the following process naturally saves a lot of time and you can get straight to the point. There were no accidents in the process. Except for being relatively strong when facing the Jihuo Sect, Shi Chun was relatively respectful to other sects. There was no need to offend them again. Throwing away the so-called secret of the divine fire was just to settle the feud with various sects as much as possible, so that they would not keep pestering him for the secret of the divine fire in the future.

To put it another way, he at least wants people to feel comfortable paying the money, so he has to be very humble, with some fawning nods and bows, allowing those who pay the money to act superior to him. After leaving this house, he went to the next one. On the way, Shi Chun felt that many eyes were staring at him. Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened until we came out of the last one, and we successfully emptied the pockets of nine of the top ten factions in the weapon refining world. Having accomplished all his plans, Shi Chun felt somewhat proud of himself as it was almost dusk. Just after he returned to Mingshan Sect with great pride, the leaders of the related sects who paid the price all went out with their people, looking for the sects that Shi Chun had visited before to test the situation. They would not look for the sects that Shi Chun had not visited before, because those who did not know the secret were not qualified to get involved in the secret. The purpose of probing each other is to achieve unity. The target person Situ Gu is from the Liantian Sect, which is the world's number one weapon-refining sect. Its strength and status are there. It is not something that any sect can easily do to dig out the secrets from Situ Gu. People who know the secret each other don't have to worry about it being leaked, so they can naturally unite and discuss it. As a result, eight of the ten major sects met each other and then gathered in Shudao Mountain one after another. Shudao Mountain's strength ranked second in the weapon refining world, and status is sometimes an invisible appeal. The top leaders of the nine major sects gathered together for a secret meeting. This situation has also attracted the attention of some people. In an elegant little courtyard on the top of a mountain that was temporarily cleared by the Lihuo Sect, Mulan was now taking a nap while basking in the glow of the setting sun on a recliner in the pavilion. A man in black walked up the stairs quickly. He had three strands of black-ink beard on his fair face. Both his appearance and figure gave people a sense of simplicity and solidity. His eyes were bright, giving people a sense of trustworthiness and shrewdness. This man's name is Lu Mi, one of Mulan's most trusted subordinates and right-hand men. He came to the recliner where Mulanjin was dozing, and took out a secret letter and presented it to him, "Master, it should be related to Shi Chun's meetings with various sects. According to reports, Shi Chun sold the secret method of finding the sacred fire to those nine sects." Selling secrets? Mulan suddenly opened her eyes with a flash of surprise. This sounded outrageous. He held the secret document in his hand with two slender fingers, and opened it to read it with an indifferent look. The content of the confidential document was nothing more than describing the reason why Shi Chun sold the secret method. The process was clearly known only to the parties present. Although it is not known which faction leaked the news, it is basically certain that there may be spies of the Stargazing Pavilion among the top leaders of the nine major factions. "Fire God Incense..." Mulan muttered to herself, searching her memory. Lu Mi said: "It's quite strange. I've never heard of the two of them having any contact. I don't know why Situ Gu gave his self-developed 'Fire God Incense' to Shi Chun to take to the Divine Fire Domain for trial use. It's not like there are no people in the Liantian Sect." Slowly putting down the secret document in her hand, Mulanjin said to herself, "Selling the goods to nine families, quite interesting... He wants to use Situ Gu to get out of this whirlpool in the weapon refining world. This guy doesn't forget to make a fortune even after getting out." Get away? Lu Mi thought about it and said, "There is another strange thing. I wonder if the Lord has noticed that most of the money he received from selling to the nine major sects was for refining materials." Mulan Jin said indifferently: "The materials for refining weapons are naturally for the people who refine weapons. There is only one person named Tong Mingshan who can refine weapons, right?" Lu Mi: “It should be.” Mulan Jin: "If there are no other candidates, he will probably spend a lot of money on Tong Mingshan. If that's the case, this Tong Mingshan must be famous, otherwise it wouldn't be worth it for him to spend so much money." Lu Mi nodded and said, "Being able to absorb four divine fires is indeed extraordinary." "Four?" Mulanjin's questioning voice seemed to be a little amused, and she handed the secret letter back to him, "He knew that the revised competition rules were targeting him, and that the various factions were targeting him and that it was impossible for him to win the championship. He knew that letting him on the field would mean that the four divine fires would be doomed to fail in the competition, but he still let Tong Mingshan show off. Is it necessary for him to do such useless work?" Lu Mi pinched his beard and pondered, "If you put it this way, it does take some thought."

Mulan Jin: "That kid came from the exile place, he is very utilitarian, not a person who does useless work. The bottom line of ten divine fires for him was definitely not a hasty decision, it was just to exclude him, which shows that the various factions had a rough estimate of the number of divine fires absorbed by Tong Mingshan at the beginning, and it suddenly became less, everyone was very surprised. Why did it suddenly decrease? The weapon refining world modified the competition rules for him, and he also greatly reduced the number here to comply with the competition rules. The opponents also had corresponding changes at the same time. Is it really a coincidence? People in our industry are always sensitive to things like "coincidences." " Lu Mi's eyes flickered slightly, and he tried to ask, "Master, what you mean is that in the face of the suppression from the ten major sects, Shi Chun not only did not give up, but also buried a back-up plan?" Mulan Jin: "These are just speculations, but I remember the Sky Rain Meteor Festival. It was under the eyes of countless people, and his true colors were not seen until the end. Regardless of whether he has a backup plan or not, he is brave, and he is quite courageous. He even took advantage of the situation and took advantage of my Observatory. It would be inappropriate not to teach him a lesson." Lu Mi was slightly startled, then asked, "How to deal with it?" Mulan Jin: "I have already told the weapon refiners not to interfere with their competition. I also want to see what Shi Chun is up to. After the competition is over, we will arrest them all and choose a 'good place' to lock him up for fifty years." Lu Mi was slightly stunned. To be honest, he would not be surprised even if the person was killed, nor would he be surprised if the person was imprisoned forever. But the phrase "fifty years" and "neither going up nor down" did not seem like something that came from the mouth of this Lord. Fifty years was neither long nor short. (End of this chapter)
