The Fourth Financial Crisis

Under the leadership of Wen Boshan, several people quickly arrived at a tea room that looked like a reception room somewhere.

However, they were not the first guests to arrive.

At this time, there was already an old man with a long beard waiting for them in the reception room.

After feeling the powerful aura exuded by the long-bearded old man, everyone suddenly discovered that this person was actually a late-stage Jindan monk, and the Arctic Cold Palace monks who could achieve such a level of cultivation could only be a few from the Arctic Cold Palace. One of the great elders.

When Wenboshan saw the old man appearing, he couldn't help but look slightly startled and said: "Elder Zhai, why are you here in person?"

Elder Zhai's appearance in the reception does not seem to be an intentional reception arrangement made by Arctic Cold Palace. At least the receptionist at Wenbo Mountain should not have known about it before.

The golden elixir-stage old man known as Elder Zhai just stroked his beard casually and said in a cold tone: "What? As the leader of the Arctic Cold Palace Artifact Refining Hall, am I not qualified to meet the talented instrument refining master of our Beimo Prefecture? "

Wen Boshan quickly bowed and said: "I am about to take two guests to the weapon refining hall to discuss the difficult problem!"

When Elder Zhai heard this, he frowned slightly: "I heard that Palace Master Yin only invited Zhang Zhicheng, the weapon refiner of Qianji Sect, why are there two guests now? You are not in the situation in Arctic Cold Palace now. I don’t know, why do you dare to let strangers in casually? This is against the rules!”

"Fellow Daoist Mu is Daoist Zhang's weapon-refining assistant, and he is quite capable in weapon-refining!"

As if he felt that as an amateur in weapon refining, it was very unconvincing to rashly evaluate the professional level of overseas weapon refining masters. Wen Boshan paused slightly and continued to add: "Even Tian Xianzi of Shenhuo Sect thinks so. !”

Unfortunately, Elder Zhai remained unmoved at all, and even mocked him: "This is a private matter of our Arctic Han Palace. When will it be the turn of the Shenhuo Sect to intervene?"

The Shenhuo Sect and the Arctic Han Palace are allies. Yin Huaiyuan personally finalized this matter, but Elder Zhai was quite rude to Tian Beixi, the representative of the Shenhuo Sect.

This is somewhat meaningful.

According to the mainstream view in the cultivation world, Arctic Cold Palace is Yin Huaiyuan's master. However, as Yin Huaiyuan becomes obsessed with practicing forbidden arts and is unable to take action at will most of the time, some senior people within Arctic Cold Palace seem to have Different ideas.

For example, Elder Zhai seemed to criticize Yin Huaiyuan's decision.

These remarks against the Shenhuo Sect also caused Tian Beixi to retaliate on the spot: "Elder Zhai, our Shenhuo Sect is not an outsider. We help your sect recruit experts in the field of weapon refining for your own benefit."

However, Elder Zhai sneered: "Our vital interests? I think they are all for the interests of your Shenhuo Sect!"

Tian Beixi shook his head and said: "You may be a little prejudiced against the agreement reached between Palace Master Yin and the Shenhuo Sect, but as the saying goes, both parties will benefit from harmony and harm from division. Even without Palace Master Yin's matchmaking, it is definitely not possible for the two of us to get together. bad thing."

Upon hearing Tian Beixi's words, Elder Zhai just snorted coldly. Although he did not express his position directly, his attitude towards this matter was already very clear.

Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was tense, Wenboshan quickly stood up to smooth things over and said, "Elder Zhai, can you let them both try?"

However, Elder Zhai sternly refused: "Nonsense! When will our Arctic Cold Palace be able to let even cats and dogs in?"

Seeing Elder Zhai's tough attitude, everyone thought that Wenboshan would make concessions, but unexpectedly Wenboshan insisted: "They are all guests invited by Palace Master Yin. You may not know that Fellow Taoist Mu is from Huoyunzhou. The casual cultivators..." When talking about the casual cultivators, Wen Boshan also used an emphatic tone.

As soon as these words came out, the faces of several insiders changed slightly.

Wenboshan's emphasis on Lin Musen's status as a casual cultivator was actually hinting to Elder Zhai that if necessary, he could be killed and silenced afterwards!

Hearing Wen Boyuan carry out Yin Huaiyuan, Elder Zhai finally nodded reluctantly and said: "Okay! But you don't have to go to the Weapon Refining Hall specifically. Let me, the head of the Weapon Refining Hall, come and test you personally. You must have knowledge of weapon refining! After all, there are quite a few quacks and sorcerers who live up to their reputation, and we can’t deceive the Arctic Han Palace!”

Tian Beixi and Lin Musen had known for a long time that the other party would have problems, and it was impossible for them to meet Yin Huaiyuan casually, so they did not show any surprised expressions.

However, Wen Boshan's face became very ugly: "Elder Zhai, aren't we ready for the weapon refining problem? Listen to what you mean, are you planning to change the topic this time?"

Elder Zhai snorted coldly and said: "If you can't even pass my simple test, how can you solve our problems?"

Is this a temporary test?

After hearing this statement, it was Zhang Zhicheng's turn to lose control.

Although Zhang Zhicheng was not idle during this period, but followed the master of the sect to learn some basic knowledge of weapon refining, he had never received a systematic education in weapon refining before. Facing a real master of weapon refining, he would not be able to withstand a few rounds.

In fact, if it hadn't been for Arctic Cold Palace's promise, even if he didn't help with anything, the reward would not be less than his share, and he wouldn't have come to Arctic Cold Palace to embarrass himself.

Now I suddenly heard that the other party was going to test me in person, how could Zhang Zhicheng not be in a hurry?

He himself is not afraid of embarrassment, but if he smashes the Qianjimen sign, that is no small matter!

So he quickly excused himself and said: "Fellow Literary Taoist, you never said before that there is a school entrance examination! I came to your Arctic Cold Palace to solve the problem of weapon refining, not to receive the weapon refining education of your Arctic Cold Palace. !”

Wen Boshan smiled bitterly and said: "If you can pass Elder Zhai's examination, I will naturally take you to solve real problems!"

Zhang Zhicheng was very unhappy and said: "Fellow Literary Taoist, this is a little different from what we said before! I am not an apprentice of your Arctic Cold Palace, why should I be tested by you?"

"As long as you are willing to accept the test, no matter whether you pass or not, we will pay you as promised."

Seeing that Wen Boshan was still explaining, Elder Zhai snorted coldly and said: "If you are not willing to accept the examination, then please go back! We in the Arctic Cold Palace will not go to the Qi Refining Period just because of problems with weapon refining. The monk compromised, I see, our Palace Master Yin has become too stupid recently, he even went to the doctor in a hurry and called all the unknown people in the Qi refining stage to come over and help!"

Hearing Elder Zhai's very rude comments, Wenboshan was a little annoyed and said: "Elder Zhai, fellow Daoist Zhang is the guest of Palace Master Yin!"

"I'm just checking for Palace Master Yin!" Elder Zhai seemed too lazy to explain. He stood up and walked away on the spot. Before leaving, he also gave an ultimatum: "When you guys think about it, come and practice." Qitang is looking for me, if you don’t abide by the rules of our Arctic Cold Palace, then don’t blame us for being rude!”

If other Qianji Sect disciples were so humiliated by Elder Zhai, they might have thrown away their sleeves and left long ago, but Zhang Zhicheng came with Yang Lu's mission, so he had to turn his eyes to Lin Musen and said: "Fellow Daoist Mu, you What do you think?"

Lin Musen did not answer immediately, but his left hand with the communication ring was trembling slightly. Tian Beixi knew that this guy must be communicating remotely with Yang Lu in Hanguang City!
