Chen Yu waited for a while in the Artifact Refining room and then heard a series of footsteps approaching.
Following that, led by Master Tong, an elderly man in a gray robe and several youngsters walked in.
"You Clan!"
When Yang Yuhuan saw the emblem on the clothes of the youngsters, her expression changed drastically, and she beca visibly uncomfortable.
The Yang Family had barely reached the status of a two-star clan and was only a thousand years old. Now, in the face of disaster, only about two hundred clan mbers were left.
But the You Clan had once given birth to a king of the Condensed Star Realm, with an incredibly powerful and expansive lineage, presumably existing for about five thousand years.
The gap between the two clans was like that between heaven and earth.
And now, these youngsters were all top talents of the You Clan; among them, You Lie, who led them, had a significant reputation. He was considered the peak prodigy of the You Clan, with a natural talent far surpassing that of Yan Hanshan.
"Are you the one who owns the Golden Winged Phoenix and Yin Ming Bird feathers?"
You Lie’s gaze landed on Chen Yu, his tone proud and indifferent.
"Yes!"
Chen Yu frowned slightly, sensing that sothing was amiss, yet he still straightforwardly admitted.
Then he looked toward Master Tong, with an inquiring expression.
However, Master Tong imdiately dodged his gaze, not eting Chen Yu’s eyes, whilst ntally thinking, "Kid, don’t look at ; I really have no say here."
"You’re lucky, young master has taken a liking to your two materials. Sell them to , and I will definitely satisfy you with the price."
You Lie confidently said.
"I’m not selling, I need these materials."
Chen Yu imdiately refused.
Across from him, the faces of several You Clan youths went blank, all looking at Chen Yu simultaneously, then slightly shaking their heads with a smirk.
"Do you not know who I am? I am a You!"
You Lie’s expression also changed slightly, then he said with a smile.
Sotis he encountered so short-sighted people, but once these people realized his surna, their attitudes drastically changed, as if awakening from a dream.
"Your surna has nothing to do with whether I sell you the items!"
Chen Yu felt displeased inwardly.
This talent from a king’s clan was far too arrogant and self-absorbed, flaunting his surna as if it were sothing to boast about.
"Oh?"
This response piqued You Lie’s interest, and he scrutinized Chen Yu more carefully.
It was rare for soone in the Late Guiyuan Realm to speak to him like this. Could it be that this man was also a prodigy from so major clan?
However, after observing for a long ti, You Lie couldn’t discern anything significant, and the people behind him also shook their heads slightly.
"So, what will it take for you to sell these two materials to ?"
You Lie asked a bit more formally.
"Not selling."
Chen Yu was sowhat speechless. Could these geniuses not understand plain language? He had already said he wouldn’t sell.
"Do you know what the consequences of offending are?"
You Lie narrowed his eyes slightly, his tone threatening, and his gaze sharp.
Beside him, Yang Yuhuan shuddered at this display.
Though You Lie himself didn’t possess an overwhelming aura, as a mber of the You Clan, he seed to emit an intangible oppressiveness that was disturbing.
Just then.
A crisp and playful voice with a hint of amusent ca from outside: "The grand talent of the You Clan resorting to bully trading. Isn’t that just inviting ridicule if it gets out?"
The next mont, a lovely woman dressed in silver-white attire walked in, followed by several young n and won, all displaying extraordinary deanors.
Noticing these newcors, Master Tong and Master Song briefly changed their expressions.
"Cui Yan’er, what are you doing here?"
You Lie’s eyebrows twitched, then he barked out.
"Just because Young Master You of the You Clan is here, doesn’t an people from the Cui Clan can’t co to negotiate business, does it?"
The beautiful Cui Yan’er let out a bell-like laughter.
"Cui Yan’er, Cui Clan!"
Yang Yuhuan gasped.
"Brother Chen, this lady is from the Cui Clan, another king’s clan!"
Yang Yuhuan whispered to Chen Yu.
Another king’s clan?
Are there so many king’s clans in the Great Yu Realm? Chen Yu wondered.
Actually not.
Had it not been for two major three-and-a-half-star powers recruiting disciples at the sa ti, ordinary people would hardly ever encounter any trace of the king’s clans.
"This is your business, but now I am conducting business, so please leave."
You Lie coldly shouted.
"That’s not necessarily the case. What if this young brother here is willing to sell his items to ?"
Cui Yan’er mocked coldly.
Then she looked directly at Chen Yu, "You might not be aware, but You Lie here is very overbearing and unreasonable. Those who offend him usually don’t end well."
"How about selling the items You Lie is interested in to instead? My offer will be absolutely fair, and I, Cui Yan’er, guarantee that You Lie won’t be able to touch you!"
Cui Yan’er confidently said, her words carrying an air of domineering authority.
From this, it was clear that Cui Yan’er didn’t even know what objects You Lie was interested in from Chen Yu’s possession; she just intended to buy them to thwart You Lie’s wishes. It seed that there was no small enmity between them.
"Sorry, my materials are not for sale to You Lie, nor to you, miss!"
Chen Yu seriously refused, then looked toward Master Song: "Does the Treasure Refining Hall still do business here?"
He had co here to engage in Artifact Refining, only to be unwittingly drawn into a dispute between two geniuses of major king clans. And throughout, no one from the Treasure Refining Hall had spoken up, which had made him sowhat dissatisfied.
However, on the other hand, that both major king clans ca to the Treasure Refining Hall indicated that the skills of the artifact refiners here were indeed comndable.
Seeing Chen Yu hadn’t sold to Cui Yan’er, You Lie felt a bit better and then glanced at Master Song.
"Perhaps you should sell your materials to Young Master You, sir. I can personally help you craft a unique flying treasure. The materials will definitely be top-notch, and I’ll give you a 20 percent discount!"
Master Song gave a wry smile, speaking with a tone of caution.
If it weren’t for the fact that he owed the You Clan a favor, Master Song wouldn’t have done such a thing, but he also believed that Chen Yu selling materials to the You Clan in exchange for a favor was the right choice.
Chen Yu had co here surely to take part in the assessnt, just as the geniuses from the You Clan and Cui Clan had.
Even if Chen Yu passed the assessnt, he might likely beco fellow disciples with these two geniuses in the future, and offending them would probably not end well.
"Since the Treasure Refining Hall isn’t refining, then I’ll find another place."
After hearing this, Chen Yu turned and left.
He didn’t want to provoke the two major king clans, but Chen Yu also urgently needed this flying artifact, particularly the Golden Winged Phoenix’s wings, which could synergize with the Golden Winged Phoenix bloodline in his body to unleash greater power.
"This kid... have soone follow him. I want to see where he can go to refine artifacts!"
You Lie said coldly.
He had never failed in a business deal before.
"Yes!" a long-faced man beside him responded.
He knew what to do without needing further explanation from You Lie.
No matter which store took Chen Yu’s business, he only needed to sabotage it. The You surna still held so deterrent power, especially when used by the capricious genius You Lie of the You Family; people generally wouldn’t dare to offend him.
"Interesting!"
Cui Yan’er, who was nearby, watched Chen Yu leave and her lips curved into a smile.
Originally, she had just co to disrupt You Lie’s affairs.
Unexpectedly, Chen Yu was so tough, not giving in to anyone.
"Find out more about this person for ."
Cui Yan’er approached a woman next to her and whispered into her ear.
Cui Yan’er wanted to know who Chen Yu really was, as generally, people wouldn’t dare to act like him.
...
"Phew!"
Once they left the Treasure Refining Hall, Yang Yuhuan let out a long sigh.
The atmosphere in the hall just now was truly terrifying.
Chen Yu had actually confronted the geniuses of the two major king clans head-on.
However, she started to worry again, as Chen Yu seed to have offended You Lie.
"Let’s check out other stores," Chen Yu said calmly.
King clans were indeed formidable, but they shouldn’t, over such a small matter, use powerful cultivators against Chen Yu.
Moreover, Black Demon Valley was a sect force even more fearso than the king clans. As long as Chen Yu entered it, he could receive a certain degree of protection. If he was taken as a disciple by an elder, even the king clans would not dare to openly move against Chen Yu.
...
Three days later.
"I’m sorry, our shop cannot et your requirents."
An Artifact Refiner returned Chen Yu’s materials.
This was already the third ti.
It was obvious soone was interfering!
"How despicable, these king clans are really bullying people."
Yang Yuhuan was also very angry, her eyes wide.
"Keep looking, if all else fails, we’ll think of a way after entering Black Demon Valley!"
Chen Yu was also displeased.
A king clan alone should not have the influence to affect the entire Cultivation Spirit Hall. So shops here might share the sa background and could afford not to give face to the You Clan.
"Hey, this clown is really cute!"
Yang Yuhuan was suddenly attracted by a small clown, "What shop is this that they place a clown puppet at the entrance?"
She was about to reach out and touch the clown.
But suddenly, the clown moved and grinned, "Do the two of you need any spiritual artifacts refined? Our shop can provide that service."
Yang Yuhuan abruptly stepped back, her heart pounding with fright.
It turned out this wasn’t a clown puppet, but a person!
This person wore a clown nose and a large hat, his face painted in assorted colors.
At this mont, the clown sported a very exaggerated smile, looking sowhat sinister and scary.
Chen Yu looked over, having not noticed earlier that there was a person here.
"Can you refine artifacts here?" Chen Yu asked.
"Indeed." The clown maintained a sowhat sinister smile.
"Brother Chen, this shop is too small, and it’s a ss inside. Let’s go look elsewhere..."
Yang Yuhuan glanced inside the shop.
It really was in a chaotic ss with a bunch of junk cluttered around and dim lighting. Additionally, the presence of the clown at the entrance gave off a strange vibe.
However, the main reason was that the clown had just scared Yang Yuhuan.
"You’re doubting my skills. Not to boast, but there are few in the entire Cultivation Spirit Hall with refining abilities superior to mine,"
The clown confidently stated.
At that mont, Chen Yu’s mysterious heart rate changed as if there was sothing inside the hall attracting it.
"It seems this shop isn’t simple!"
Chen Yu thought inwardly.
This clown was also very peculiar; initially, Chen Yu hadn’t carefully observed to notice there was a person next to him.
"How should I address you, master?"
Chen Yu asked, walking inside to take a closer look.
The hall’s contents were chaotic and included many odd-looking objects that Chen Yu had never seen before. In a corner, Chen Yu also spotted several wooden puppet automatons.
"You can call the Handso Brother Dong!"
The clown answered.
"..."
Chen Yu felt he couldn’t in good conscience say such a thing.
