Chapter 2326: Guests from the West Continent

Barton Nake felt very satisfied with this, as it was the life he had hoped for.

And this kind of life was brought about by Tang Ming.

When mentioning City Lord Tang Ming, these Immortal Craftsmen were absolutely supportive, because Tang Ming had imparted many precise Artifact Refining secrets from Divine Machine Refinement to them.

Although Divine Machine Refinement is a secret technique of the Tang Family, some aspects of it can still be taught to others.

“Master Nak, is Master Nak here?”

Zhou Mo’s voice came from outside the door.

Barton Nake put down the hammer in his hand and rubbed his nose, “I’m here, I’m here, coming, coming.”

He opened the door, and sure enough, Zhou Mo was standing outside. Not long ago, Zhou Mo had asked Barton Nake to craft a protective Magic Treasure, saying it was for the new Prophet.

Recently, Barton Nake had been rushing to complete the work and was about to succeed.

Seeing Zhou Mo, Barton Nake smiled and said, “Creating an Immortal Artifact for the Prophet cannot be neglected, so it’s taken a bit longer; I haven’t accepted any new work these past few days.”

Due to the limited number of Immortal Craftsmen, the slots for custom Immortal Artifacts are always in short supply.

Usually, Barton Nake could craft an Immortal Artifact in three or four days.

But recently, he hadn’t produced a new item in a week, only working on the Immortal Artifact for the Prophet.

“I know, you are a strong member of the Demon Slayer Clan, so it’s normal to protect the Prophet. But don’t forget what I told you; Grand Steward Guo has paid a high price for the Prophet, so the protective Magic Treasure you craft needs to be double in quantity.”

Zhou Mo glanced at Barton Nake and reminded him.

Barton Nake nodded, “Grand Steward Guo is a benefactor to the Demon Slayer Clan; I certainly know that.”

“Good. Alright. How long until the crafting of the Immortal Artifact is complete? The City Lord Mansion has a task for you.”

Zhou Mo’s expression became serious.

Seeing Zhou Mo’s serious expression, Barton Nake was momentarily stunned and then said, “Very soon, if I rush it, there will be no problem by tonight. The polishing can be handed over to old Niu. I trust his craftsmanship.”

“Alright, then the polishing and subsequent maintenance can be left to Master Niu Tong. I’ll send someone tomorrow morning to escort you to Source Stone City. The City Lord will be waiting for you there.”

Zhou Mo looked toward Barton Nake and said.

When Barton Nake heard it was a matter concerning Tang Ming, he immediately nodded and agreed, without even asking what it was about.

When Bing Yao and Wan’er led the disciples of the Holy Maiden Palace into West Continent City, a group of people was there at the city gate to welcome them.

The ones leading them were Sun Mei and Niu Yingzi.

Recently, the affairs in the city had become increasingly busy, so Sun Mei had been assigned to handle matters in the city, while most of the time, the Niu Family managed the Spirit Tree Plain.

Niu Yinghao had gone to the Spirit Tree Plain some time ago, so Niu Yingzi was now in the city. It was heard that Sun Mei was to help Zhou Mo entertain some women from the Holy Maiden Palace.

Niu Yingzi took the initiative to come and assist.

“Are you the Holy Maiden Wan’er from the Holy Maiden Palace?”

Seeing the woman standing at the front of the group, holding a Scepter, Sun Mei eagerly walked over.

Wan’er was initially startled to see Sun Mei. This woman’s strength was not formidable, but she seemed to hold a significant position in West Continent City. The people around and the troops guarding the city gate all showed her considerable respect.

The old woman standing beside her appeared to be quite powerful, similar to her deceased Master.

However, since they came to welcome them and were so courteous, she certainly couldn’t disgrace the people of the Holy Maiden Palace.

“Elder sister Sun Mei, may I ask you something? What are all those tall buildings used for over there?”

Seeing Wan’er politely responding to Sun Mei, then following her into the city, the lively Bing Yao directly asked.

Wan’er glanced at Bing Yao; this girl indeed couldn’t hold her curiosity, yet she was also curious about what those tall buildings were for.

After all, in the Jiulong Dynasty, the tallest building was the Tower in the center of the city, usually the highest tower being the Jiulong Tower, which was five stories tall.

Yet, in West Continent City, there were buildings as tall as six or seven Jiulong Towers.

Upon hearing Bing Yao’s question, Sun Mei smiled and said, “Those are high-rise residences where you will also live, and it’s on the high floors, the twenty-fifth floor.”

“The twenty-fifth floor?”

Wan’er and Bing Yao exchanged glances, both considerably surprised.

When they followed Sun Mei and Niu Yingzi to their residence, they finally understood what a twenty-fifth floor truly meant.

Standing by the window, they could clearly see the land outside the city. Moreover, the land outside West Continent City was entirely developed, with many Formations and defensive structures still being arranged.

Bing Yao swallowed and said, “This room is allocated to us, four people in one room?”

“No, Miss Bing Yao, if you want to have your own room, then you must contribute to West Continent City. The City Lord Mansion releases tasks, and as long as you complete tasks, you can earn points. With enough points, you can exchange them for your own room; that room is owned by a single person, but only half the size of this one.”

Niu Yingzi briefly explained to Bing Yao, then took her to tour the bathroom, kitchen, and accommodation area.

For Bing Yao, even a house shared by four people was quite enjoyable, and there was even a possibility of having a single person occupying one house.

“This is fantastic. I think, Senior sister, your willingness to come to West Continent City is simply a perfect decision.”

Several disciples of the Holy Maiden Palace said aloud.

Just then, a buzzing sound suddenly came from Sun Mei’s body.

Sun Mei took out the Communication Spiritual Stone and looked at it, “Hello, is this Grand Steward Guo? We’ve already received the people. Yes, yes. I will immediately take the Holy Maiden of the Holy Maiden Palace to meet you.”

Sun Mei put down the Communication Spiritual Stone and saw that all the disciples of the Holy Maiden Palace were staring at her, dumbfounded.

Sun Mei smiled and said, “This is considered a benefit too. Just ten points can redeem one, definitely worth it. Holy Maiden, the Grand Steward Guo Cunhou of West Continent City wants to see you; shall we go over together.”

Wan’er nodded, then waved her hand, “Uncle Master, would you come with me, and let Fifth Uncle Master handle things here.”

An elderly old woman smiled and nodded, then said, “Alright, Holy Maiden.”
