The Yunhai Sect, in the past status within the Coastal State, was indeed very powerful, dominating an entire state.
Yet after all, it was just one of the subsidiary forces of the Carefree Sect, nothing special.
The Human Clan occupied a vast territory, arguably the largest clan in the Soul Martial Continent, with just the Southern Domain of the Human Clan territory alone divided into three thousand six hundred states. Both Coastal State and Yunhai State were rely one of them.
Within the Carefree Sect, there were a total of forty-six sects of similar level to Yunhai Sect that relied on it for survival.
Li Yunfeng was the only son of the Sect Master of the Carefree Sect, and he indeed had the right to dispose of the life of the Deputy Sect Master of Yunhai Sect.
Moreover, Yunhai Sect had been in a great deal of internal strife recently, with intense factional fights, especially that Wu Chunshan, whose thods were sinister, causing the death of many he held a grudge against.
Li Yunfeng happened to know about this because a disciple, who was close to him in the Carefree Sect, had originated from the Yunhai Sect.
This disciple’s forr close friend in the Yunhai Sect had suffered from Wu Chunshan’s ousting, which was how Li Yunfeng ca to know about it.
Li Yunfeng had once said that soone like that was better off dead.
Now that Lin Qian ntioned killing Wu Chunshan, then just kill him, what does it matter?
But at this mont, Du Ziyue was confused and had no idea what was going on.
"Hey, it’s really bustling here." Just then, a curious voice sounded, and a figure approached.
The onlookers looked at the newcor, their expressions changing.
"Zhang Zide, the top genius of the Eight-Ard Sea Clan."
"The only grandson of the great clan leader; it’s said he loves to scavenge. No wonder he ca to Houhai Street."
Seeing the newcor, people whispered amongst themselves.
Upon reaching the crowd, Zhang Zide walked straight towards Lin Qian and Li Yunfeng, "Li Madman, Brother Lin, what are you guys doing here? Seems like you two are being watched."
"A woman so ugly she could scare eight sea creatures to death is bothering ," Lin Qian shrugged nonchalantly.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Zide’s smiling face imdiately darkened, and he fiercely turned to Du Ziyue, "According to Brother Lin’s description, you must be the one he’s talking about?"
"..." Li Yunfeng was speechless for a long while, tilting his head towards Lin Qian and whispered, "Brilliant!"
Lin Qian smirked, proudly saying, "Of course."
The way Lin Qian spoke was precisely what Li Yunfeng admired.
According to the aesthetic standards of the Eight-Ard Sea Clan which Zhang Zide belonged to, won of the clan with pink skin were appealing.
To Zhang Zide, a Human Clan woman with looks like Du Ziyue was indeed ugly enough to scare sea monsters.
"Troubling my brother, are you blind?" Zhang Zide glared at Du Ziyue, chided loudly, and waved toward the two onlooking Eight-Ard Sea Clan mbers, "Get her out of here, she’s an eyesore."
These two from the Eight-Ard Sea Clan, being mbers of the clan, naturally dared not disobey and quickly escorted Du Ziyue away.
Du Ziyue didn’t dare to resist, with Li Yunfeng and Zhang Zide both being entities she couldn’t afford to offend.
Du Ziyue really couldn’t understand what virtues or abilities Lin Qian had that made both Li Yunfeng and Zhang Zide protect him and call him "Brother Lin"!
Not only Du Ziyue had this thought, but spectators were also harboring the sa idea.
The formidable strength shown at the clan eting and now being so close to Li Yunfeng and Zhang Zide, no one dared to underestimate this Lin Qian anymore.
"Tell your master, I am a disciple of Wei Wushuang," Lin Qian’s voice suddenly ca from behind as Du Ziyue was being carried away, and she etched those words into her heart.
The storm just passed like that.
"Everyone disperse, there’s nothing interesting to see here," Zhang Zide spoke, and the crowd scattered, each going about their own business.
After everyone left, Zhang Zide then showily took out an object, waving it towards Lin Qian and Li Yunfeng.
Lin Qian looked carefully at the object in Zhang Zide’s hand, finding it to be sothing similar to a bronze furnace, already covered in verdigris and looking very worn.
The object looked tattered, but the expression on Zhang Zide’s face clearly thought it was a treasure.
"Showing off such trash to us, what are you trying to prove?" Li Yunfeng said with a laugh after seeing the worn-out copper furnace.
Zhang Zide snorted lightly, shaking his head, "You don’t understand, this is an Alchemy Furnace. Once repaired, it will at least be classified as an Upper B-grade Soul Device."
"Stop bragging, I know your eye for this; nine out of ten tis you are wrong, and the tenth ti, you still end up with a loss."
"Nonsense, you’re just jealous that I found a treasure."
"Jealous of you? With the Water Breathing Soul Device that Brother Lin gave , that’s already a huge gain."
"That…" Just then, Lin Qian suddenly spoke up, patting Zhang Zide on the shoulder in a comforting manner, "Brother Zhang, you’ve been duped."
"What?" Upon hearing Lin Qian’s words, Zhang Zide was a bit confused, "Brother Lin, what do you an I’ve been duped?"
"It ans you’ve been tricked. This furnace is indeed a broken Alchemy Furnace, and indeed, when it was being crafted, it was targeted to be of Lower A-grade quality," Lin Qian said, his face revealing a look of regret, "Unfortunately, the crafting failed, and its quality is only Lower B."
"That’s why this broken furnace seems like it was Upper B damaged."
After hearing Lin Qian’s explanation, Zhang Zide stood stunned, while Li Yunfeng burst out laughing, "Haha, Little Zhang, I told you, you really have problems with your judgnt."
"Quiet," Zhang Zide waved at Li Yunfeng, peering closely at the broken pill furnace.
With Lin Qian’s description in mind, Zhang Zide also gradually saw for himself what the forr had said was true—there were indeed traces of failed crafting on the furnace.
Inside the furnace, there was indeed a situation where the materials were not harmonious, a clear sign of failed crafting.
But instead of feeling dejected, Zhang Zide’s eyes sparkled as he looked over at Lin Qian, "Well, Brother Lin, earlier when we talked, didn’t you say you knew nothing about Alchemy, Artifact Refining, or Array, and that you could only cause explosions? How co you spotted the problem with this furnace right away?"
Lin Qian also showed a helpless expression, responding to Zhang Zide, "There’s nothing I can do about it, I have the eye for it, but once I get hands-on, I’m completely clueless."
Zhang Zide and Li Yunfeng exchanged looks and suddenly realized.
However, the sharpness of Lin Qian’s eye, of course, was not as he said, but entirely due to a new ability tied to his relationship with the Huaxia Empire.
