Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy novel Chapter 773

Chapter 773: Chapter 796 Facing the Sea, With Spring Blossoms [3/8]

Bo Gu led Wu Tian to the blacksmith, who was an old friend of his. Upon hearing that a young man like Wu Tian had created the Art of Blood Refinement, the blacksmith was so shocked he turned pale. It took him a long time to regain his composure.

Wu Tian, however, wasted no time on pleasantries. He told the blacksmith directly that he wanted a bronze mask with a specific design: a green face with fierce fangs, in the style of "Young Master Yu."

A bronze mask was not normally so expensive, but the design Wu Tian described presented a considerable challenge. Nevertheless, the blacksmith forged it without charging a single coin, doing so simply to thank Wu Tian for creating the Art of Blood Refinement.

When Wu Tian put on the mask, his aura changed drastically. A sinister, chilling energy emanated from him, making the title "Blood Refiner" seem all the more fitting. He exuded an abyssal sense of dread that made it impossible for anyone to take him lightly.

"It’s time to establish the Blood Refiners Guild," came a voice from beneath the Bronze Ghost Mask.

At these words, Bo Gu, Meng Tian, and the blacksmith couldn’t help but smile. They called themselves Blood Refiners, but without the Art of Blood Refinement, they couldn’t be considered true masters of the craft. Afraid of being ridiculed, they had always chosen remote locations—underground lairs and mountain caves—to conduct their research. But now, the Art of Blood Refinement had been brought into the world! Finally, they could practice their craft openly on the surface, under the sun, in bustling places, without fear of being laughed at.

Bo Gu sighed. "For this first-generation Blood Refiners Guild, we only have one option: purchase an existing building."

Meng Tian and the blacksmith nodded in agreement, though their expressions betrayed a sense of helplessness. They were about to establish the very first Blood Refiners Guild, the future headquarters, yet they had to buy a pre-existing building instead of constructing a new one. The disparity between them and the Array Masters or Alchemists was immense. Even the branch guilds of the Array Masters and Alchemists were magnificent, newly constructed edifices, to say nothing of their grand headquarters. And what did the Blood Refiners have? Their very first guild would be a second-hand building. However, there was no helping it. The art of the Blood Refiners lagged behind that of the Array Masters and Alchemists by a full ten thousand years.

Bo Gu, Meng Tian, and the others could only hope for the rapid development of their craft. If branch guilds could spread far and wide, the Blood Refiners would grow powerful. Only then would their headquarters earn the right to be built on land abundant with Spiritual Energy.

"Please follow me," Bo Gu said, leading the way with Wu Tian and Meng Tian behind him. The blacksmith remained in his forge, wishing them success.

Not far away was the largest brokerage in the Xiuyuan Realm. As soon as Wu Tian, Bo Gu, and Meng Tian entered, a flamboyantly dressed woman approached them. "What can I get for you handsome gentlemen today?"

Sometimes, women were more successful in business than men, provided they dressed scantily. This proprietress, for example, wore so little that one could discern the outline of her "bunnies" with a careful glance.

"Handsome?" The address made Bo Gu and Meng Tian flush with embarrassment; they knew their own looks well enough.

Wu Tian, wearing his Bronze Ghost Mask, had no time for small talk. "I want to buy a large, impressive-looking building," he stated directly. "It needs to have a major river on the property or connect to the ocean."

"Such properties are rare, but as it happens, I have one," the proprietress said, not expecting to land a deal so quickly. She smiled faintly. Her brokerage handled many types of business; in Wu Tian’s eyes, she was a true intermediary, able to take clients to buy anything from chairs and weapons to Formation Patterns from the Array Masters Guild. The proprietress knew that selling such a property would earn her a substantial commission, but she hesitated as she sized up the cheap clothing on Wu Tian, Meng Tian, and Bo Gu.

"Judging by your attire," she said, choosing her words carefully, "you don’t exactly look like you can afford it." Despite her words, she spoke politely, not daring to be presumptuous. She was clearly intimidated by the man in the Bronze Ghost Mask.
