Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Wang Teng couldn’t sense any powerful aura from this cha heaven-stage martial warrior. If he hid among a bunch of ordinary martial warriors, he wouldn’t be able to notice him.
Of course, that was if he didn’t use his Spiritual Sight, with which he could see the imnse Force in the martial warrior’s body.
Without a doubt, this fellow was a true heaven-stage martial warrior.
“How do I address you?” Wang Teng asked.
“An Lan!” the cha heaven-stage martial warrior replied.
“Mr. An Lan, let’s get to business. This is the spiritual contract from the Secondary Career Alliance. Please take a look.” Wang Teng took out a scroll and placed it on the table.
The basic clauses and content had already been written. They just needed to fill in their own clauses and signatures.
An Lan nodded after reading the content. He wrote his conditions and na on the scroll.
Wang Teng glanced at the new content. As expected, he wanted Wang Teng to keep the structure of the Thousand Armants Vessel a secret. Wang Teng felt at ease. He signed on the scroll too.
The spiritual contract lit up brightly. This ant that their contract had started to take effect.
“Looking forward to our cooperation!”
“Looking forward to our cooperation!”
They smiled involuntarily.
An Lan was happy that he found a person to make the Thousand Armants Vessel for him. He had looked for many grandmaster blacksmiths, but none of them could forge it. As for the blacksmiths above the grandmaster level, he couldn’t afford them.
However, Wang Teng was confident. He said that he could make any grandmaster-level weapon. An Lan was doubtful, but since the other party was a triple-field grandmaster, he must be extrely talented. He might honestly be able to do it.
As for Wang Teng, he was elated because he found a heaven-stage bodyguard. It wasn’t easy!
The other party might not be willing to do such a low-class job if he didn’t receive enough benefits.
Both of them had their own motives, nursing their own evil intentions.
Since they had signed the spiritual contract, Wang Teng would settle the matter properly. That way, the other party would willingly be his bodyguard. “Mr. An Lan, why don’t you take out the Thousand Armants Vessel for to take a look?”
An Lan took it out and placed it on the table. Wang Teng lifted the Thousand Armants Vessel and exclaid in surprise, “This is a spiritual weapon!”
“As expected of a triple-field grandmaster. You could see its essence instantly,” An Lan said with a smile.
“Can I see the blueprint?” Wang Teng asked with shimring eyes.
An Lan tapped on his wristwatch, and a light screen appeared in front of them. The design of the Thousand Armants Vessel was displayed on it.
Wang Teng briefly looked through and frowned.
“Tsk tsk, Wang Teng, this fellow fooled you. This weapon might be fifth-rank grandmaster level, but its complexity is on par with a sixth-rank or seventh-rank weapon.” Round Ball nudged Wang Teng in his mind.
“He did trick .” Wang Teng noticed the problem too. He was speechless.
“Hahaha, but can you forge the item? If not, I can do it,” Round Ball said.
“It’s alright,” Wang Teng said. “I can use it as practice and make one for myself next ti. The contract says that I can’t leak the blueprint. It didn’t say that I can’t make one for myself.”
“So this is what you were planning.” Round Ball was caught between laughter and tears.
Wang Teng glanced at An Lan intently and said, “Although this is a fifth-rank grandmaster-level weapon, it’s as difficult as a seventh-rank grandmaster level.”
“How is it? Can you do it?” An Lan chuckled and asked again.
“Of course,” Wang Teng replied with a smile.
“That’s great!” An Lan was overjoyed. He felt that this was a good deal. 5 billion GQC and a request was a good deal for a weapon with the difficulty of the seventh-rank grandmaster level. The other party had just beco famous, so he managed to strike a good deal.
Other grandmasters who had been renowned for a period of ti might not agree to his request.
“Let say my request now,” Wang Teng said.
“Go ahead.” An Lan smiled.
“Be my bodyguard for so ti,” Wang Teng said with a smile. He didn’t beat around the bush.
Co, let’s see who’s the one getting tricked!
“A bodyguard? You’re asking a heaven-stage martial warrior to be a bodyguard?” An Lan was dumbfounded.
“Yes, is there a problem?” Wang Teng asked.
“Did you offend soone?” An Lan might appear happy-go-lucky, but he was a cautious person.
Wang Teng resud his own appearance and replied, “My real na is Wang Teng.”
At the sa ti, he explained his relationship with the faction supporting the Cao family.
“Cao Hongtu is a heaven-stage martial warrior, but this matter implicates many people!” An Lan’s gaze flickered. He knew about the baron incident. With a forced smile, he said, “No wonder you agreed so quickly. You were waiting for here!”
“So, what do you think?”
“Yes, as long as you help forge the Thousand Armants Vessel, I don’t mind being your bodyguard for so ti.” An Lan gritted his teeth and agreed.
“Great, I like to work with straightforward people.” Wang Teng chuckled.
An Lan couldn’t smile though. He thought that he got a good deal, but in the end, he was the one who got duped. The person who got the bargain was Wang Teng.
This little fox!
He still walked into a trap after all his calculations.
Damn it!
“Have you prepared all the materials?” Wang Teng said with a smile. He was delighted to see An Lan’s frustrated expression.
“There are still so preparations left.” An Lan shook his head. “However, I’m planning to head to the Unique Treasure Street today.”
“The Unique Treasure Street?” Wang Teng was a little curious.
“You can find many good things there like ores, spiritual herbs, etc. It’s hard to know which ones are genuine and their qualities are inconsistent, but if you have sharp eyesight, you can get hidden gems. The best thing is, they’re cheap,” An Lan said.
“Are you poor?” Wang Teng asked strangely.
“Bullshit, I’m not poor. I just exceeded my budget because of the Thousand Armants Vessel,” An Lan refuted imdiately. He seed a little frustrated. “Grandmasters are good. It’s so easy for you to make money,” he continued in an envious tone.
“You must be joking. Our money doesn’t co easy. Look at this Thousand Armants Vessel. I need to use my brain cells and a lot of energy to forge it. This is hard labor. Sigh, making money isn’t easy!” Wang Teng shook his head and lanted.
An Lan: ...
This Wang Teng seed more shaless than him.

“Mr. An Lan, let accompany you to the Unique Treasure Street. I’m curious now.”
“That’s great. Grandmaster Wang Teng, you’re a grandmaster blacksmith, so you must be familiar with all sorts of ores. You must help later,” An Lan said happily.
“It won’t be a problem as long as you’re paying.” Wang Teng got up and walked out.
An Lan: (# ̄~ ̄#)

The two of them left the Secondary Career Alliance and headed to Unique Treasure Street.
The Unique Treasure Street was not far away. It was just beside the Kunwu District, so they didn’t need to take any transport. Walking over required ten minutes.
Soon, Unique Treasure Street appeared before Wang Teng.
The first impression it gave him was that it was a bustling street. There were many people strolling back and forth. It was packed.
Under An Lan’s lead, they followed the stream of people and entered the street.
There were all kinds of shops and stalls lining the sides with various items displayed. Ores, spiritual herbs, star cores and star bones, and different weapons dazzled the eyes. But the quality was inconsistent, making it easy to get fooled.
This street reminded Wang Teng of the most famous antique street on Earth. Many people went there to search for treasures, hoping to find one using a small price so that they could earn more.
After all, not every martial warrior was rich. There were many poor fellows like An Lan.
An Lan didn’t know that Wang Teng had already given him a ‘poor man’ tag. He was in a good mood as he road the streets. He probably ca often, so he was familiar with this place.
Wang Teng followed him while scanning his surroundings. He was curious.
Suddenly, a few attribute bubbles floating on the street caught his attention.
Surprised, he raised his eyebrows. He didn’t expect bubbles to appear here. He released his spiritual power and pulled the attribute bubbles over.
Mining Skill*50
Mining Skill*80
Mining Skill*60
...
This attribute! Wang Teng was shocked.
He had picked up this attribute from a candidate on Earth in the past. He was surprised to see it again.
The attribute bubbles rged into Wang Teng’s mind and turned into his knowledge and mory. His mining skill rose from the foundation stage to the beginner stage.
Mining Engineer: 220/1000 (beginner stage)
Wang Teng didn’t stop walking. He continued to follow An Lan, and soon, he found more bubbles. He picked them up too.
Mining Skill*100
Mining Skill*80
Mining Skill*120
...
“The sa attribute again.” Wang Teng’s expression turned strange. He didn’t think much since picking up attributes didn’t cost money.
After so ti, they stopped in front of a stall.
Wang Teng’s mining engineer row had been upgraded from the beginner stage to the interdiate stage.
Mining Engineer: 50/3000 (interdiate stage)
At this mont, An Lan squatted in front of the stall without any concern for his image. He was wearing a hood and a tal mask, so others couldn’t tell what race he was from.
It was easy to find people in this attire. Most people didn’t want to reveal their identities.
The owner of this stall was from the fox race. A red tail could be seen behind him. He was handso, but he looked a little sly when he smiled. “Please take a look. If you need anything, you can ask .”
An Lan nodded. He appeared a little cold and indifferent as he glanced at the ores.
There was a kind of ore called the Crimson Constellation Bronze in this stall. It was one of the materials for the Thousand Armants Vessel, so An Lan stopped here to observe.
However, these Crimson Constellation Bronze were only partially cut. It might appear as if the entire ore was filled with bronze, but in reality, it just took up a small portion. There might just be a tiny bit of it. Anyone with poor knowledge and eyesight could only buy a defective good.
No devices were allowed when buying products on this street. You had to rely on your experience and ability.
“Isn’t this stone gambling?” Wang Teng frowned.
An Lan furrowed his brows as he stared at the ores. He spoke to Wang Teng using voice transmission, “Which one has better content?”
Wang Teng wanted to use his Eyes of Essence to see the internal structure of the ore. That way, he would imdiately know which would earn them more money and which were defective. However, he just picked up so mining attributes, so he wanted to try them out.
The main ability of a mining engineer was to look for ores. He understood all kinds of ores and could see the real value of ore just from the surface.
Wang Teng used the knowledge and experience of a mining engineer to judge the ores in the stall. His gaze shimred and finally paused on an ore double the size of a football.
From the patterns and color on the surface, this ore had the highest probability of having Crimson Constellation Bronze inside.
“This piece?” An Lan asked through voice transmission when he saw Wang Teng’s gaze.
To be safe, Wang Teng didn’t reply at once. He still activated his Eyes of Essence and looked at the ore.
“Boss, how much is this ore?” A figure squatted down in front of the stall and patted that ore.
Wang Teng and An Lan turned to look at him.
“Cao Guan!” Wang Teng was stunned.
“Are you here to search for treasures because you’re poor?” Cao Guan had co for Wang Teng. He sneered.

Wang Teng gave him a weird look.
