With his Overlord Spear and Bone Spear both damaged, Lin Yun was left without a single usable Spirit Soldier. The Bone Spear was sharp, but as a weapon without a spirit, it had its limits. If he could restore it even slightly, to the level of an Earth Spirit Soldier, his chances of survival in the Mysterious Forest would be much higher.
In Yanhuang Country, the only Artifact Refiners capable of forging Celestial Spirit Soldiers were in the Capital City. This was because a branch of the Pharmaceutical Instrunt Master’s Guild was located there, and Master Wu himself was a mber of the guild’s Yanhuang Country branch.
"Oh, so you want my help repairing a Spirit Soldier," Lu Tao said after listening to Lin Yun.
"My master is indeed a mber of the Pharmaceutical Instrunt Master’s Guild. However, as for the Artifact Refiner you need, there’s probably only one person in the entire Yanhuang Country branch of the Guild who can do it: the president, Master Gong Qi, an Earth Level Six-Stars Refiner."
After so discussion, they determined that while an ordinary person would have no way to et Gong Qi, Lu Tao, as Master Wu’s disciple, naturally had his own connections. Furthermore, Lu Tao ntioned that one of his good friends was one of Master Gong’s disciples.
Lu Tao made an arrangent with Lin Yun to take him to the Pharmaceutical Instrunt Master’s Guild the next day to visit Master Gong.
Afterward, Lin Yun wrote two more letters: one for Lu Bingning and Lan Xi, and the other for his teacher, Zhong Lin. Since he was heading directly to the Mysterious Forest, Lin Yun wrote about the matter concerning the three students from his class, asking Zhong Lin to give them the antidote.
With all arrangents made, Lin Yun left the Imperial Palace in Master Wu’s carriage. As for the letters, he naturally entrusted them to Lu Tao, asking him to have soone take them back to the Academy.
Back at the Wang Family estate, Wang Tianwen had fully recovered and naturally moved out of the side courtyard. His new residence was much larger than the old one, and the decor and surroundings were more beautiful and refined.
He didn’t see Li Ji or Chen Xin. ’They must have gone back,’ he thought. Lin Yun greeted Wangcai and then went to his room to cultivate.
The next day, Lu Tao arrived punctually at the Wang Family’s residence at the appointed ti. Lin Yun got into Lu Tao’s carriage, and the two of them headed toward the Yanhuang Country’s Pharmaceutical Instrunt Master’s Guild.
The Pharmaceutical Instrunt Master’s Guild in Yanhuang Country was only a very small branch; the Guild had countless branches like it across the Celestial Spirit Continent. However, within Yanhuang Country, the Pharmaceutical Instrunt Master’s Guild was an absolutely renowned and powerful organization.
A ten-story tower served as the center for all Alchemists and Artifact Refiners in Yanhuang Country. Every Alchemist and Artifact Refiner was under the protection of the Pharmaceutical Instrunt Master’s Guild.
Periodically, the Guild would even organize for promising Alchemists and Artifact Refiners to co here for advanced training, helping them break through to higher Realms.
"Lu Tao, you brat, you’re finally here." As the two stepped out of the carriage, a familiar voice called out. Looking toward the source of the sound, Lin Yun instantly began to question reality.
If Lu Tao becoming Master Wu’s disciple was already a miracle, then Guan Renjie appearing here was completely beyond Lin Yun’s imagination.
Those two great dandies... Lin Yun stood there, dumbfounded. According to Lu Tao’s introduction, Guan Renjie was actually Master Gong’s disciple...
’Heavens, is there any justice in this world? Have Alchemists and Artifact Refiners really fallen so low? These two great dandies have actually beco the disciples of Yanhuang Country’s top Alchemist and Artifact Refiner, respectively,’ Lin Yun roared internally.
The two biggest dandies of Iron Gate Pass had, in a flash, transford into the disciples of the two most powerful figures in Yanhuang Country.
Forcibly calming himself, Lin Yun reflected that anything truly was possible in this world. He was also certain that Guan Renjie and Lu Tao must possess considerable talent in Artifact Refining and Alchemy. Otherwise, how could they possibly have caught the eyes of the two masters?
"Guan Renjie, this is the Lin Shan I told you about, Brother Lin," Lu Tao said to Guan Renjie.
Hearing this, Guan Renjie finally turned his gaze to Lin Yun. Thanks to the Disguise Technique, Lin Yun’s appearance was exceedingly plain. If not for his status as one of the ten great prodigies on the Yanhuang List, Guan Renjie certainly wouldn’t have co out to greet him personally; he would have simply sent soone from the guild.
"Brother Lin, Lu Tao told about your situation," Guan Renjie said. "But Master said that repairing a Spirit Soldier isn’t so easy. It all depends on the extent of the damage."
"I understand. Thank you for your trouble, Brother Guan," Lin Yun replied.
Just like Lu Tao, Guan Renjie had also matured a great deal over the past year and was completely different from before. However, his dandy-like personality hadn’t changed one bit.
As they entered the Pharmaceutical Instrunt Master’s Guild, both Guan Renjie and Lu Tao walked with their noses in the air. When the surrounding Alchemists and Artifact Refiners greeted them, the pair barely paid them any mind.
They went all the way up to the tenth floor of the Pharmaceutical Instrunt Master’s Guild, where Lin Yun finally t Gong Qi.
"Master Gong." Lin Yun bowed and greeted him respectfully.
"You must be Lin Shan? Not bad. To enter the Yanhuang List at the Second Layer of the Qi Sea Realm... you’re a malleable talent. Even in the Southeast Domain, you’d be considered quite a genius."
Gong Qi, who appeared to be around fifty years old, replied to Lin Yun with a smile on his face.
"Alright, take out the Spirit Soldier you want repaired. This old man will take a look for you."
Hearing this, Lin Yun placed the Bone Spear and the Overlord Spear on the table in front of Gong Qi.
First, he examined the Overlord Spear. With a calm expression, Gong Qi praised it, "Not bad. A flawless Earth Spirit Soldier. It has reached the very limit for an Earth Spirit Soldier and is just one step away from becoming a Celestial Spirit Soldier."
He wasn’t overly surprised. Although it was flawless, the Overlord Spear was still just an Earth Spirit Soldier. In the eyes of a master like Gong Qi, it was naturally quite ordinary.
Setting down the Overlord Spear, Gong Qi picked up the Bone Spear beside it. The mont he held the stark white spear, it exuded an icy, bloodthirsty sensation. After observing it carefully for a mont, Gong Qi’s expression changed drastically as he exclaid in astonishnt.
"This is a Treasure Soldier... My god, it’s actually a damaged Treasure Soldier."
A Treasure Soldier—an existence surpassing even Celestial Spirit Soldiers. Throughout the entire Eastern Domain, Treasure Soldiers were exceedingly rare. It was every expert’s dream to own one.
"Lin Shan, where did you get this Bone Spear?" Gong Qi asked excitedly.
"It was a gift from my master," Lin Yun fabricated.
Slowly calming his excitent, Gong Qi considered the weapon. Even he couldn’t forge a Treasure Soldier. Only an Earth Level Eight-Stars Refiner could do so, and even then, the success rate was very low.
"Lin Shan, the value of a Treasure Soldier is beyond your imagination," Gong Qi said. "Fortunately, this one is so severely damaged that most people can’t recognize what it truly is. And even I can only restore it to the level of an Earth Spirit Soldier."
"Only to the level of an Earth Spirit Soldier?" Lin Yun was a little disappointed.
"The difficulty of repairing a Treasure Soldier is beyond your imagination. Think about it. This old man can forge you a brand-new Celestial Spirit Soldier. If you insist on repairing this, I’m only confident I can restore it to the level of an Earth Spirit Soldier."
