Chapter 259 Assassination

True Fire Refinery.

Elder Zhang sat in the back hall, looking at the ledger of recent transactions, frowning.

Ge Yong bowed his head and stood below, looking terrified, without saying a word.

"Why has the customization of middle-grade spiritual tools picked up recently, but there have been many fewer custom-made high-grade spiritual weapons?" Elder Zhang asked in a deep voice.

Ge Yong hesitated a little and said, "It's the Moling Refinery Workshop..."

"Ha ha."

Before Ge Yong could finish speaking, Elder Zhang chuckled and said, "I said long ago that this Moling Craft Workshop will be closed within half a year. It doesn't seem to be what I expected."

In Elder Zhang's view, it must be because the Moling Refinery Workshop closed, which led to an increase in the number of cultivators who came to the True Fire Refinery Workshop to customize mid-grade spiritual tools. "

"Uh……"

Ge Yong looked embarrassed.

"What, what's wrong?" Elder Zhang asked with a frown when he saw Ge Yong's expression was different.

Ge Yong answered honestly: "Moling Refining Workshop is not closed, but instead of refining middle-grade spiritual artifacts, it is remaking high-grade spiritual artifacts."

"Um?"

Elder Zhang changed color slightly, and asked back: "Isn't the Moling Item Refining Workshop unable to refine high-grade spiritual items, how can it suddenly be possible?"

"My subordinates don't know." Ge Yong shook his head.

Elder Zhang pondered for a while, then asked, "What's his price?"

Ge Yongdao: "Three thousand top-grade spirit stones."

Elder Zhang suddenly sneered and said with a sneer: "The price is so low, no wonder we have taken all our business! The order goes on, starting today, the price of our real fire smithing workshop's custom high-grade spirit tools will also be replaced by three. Thousands of top-grade spirit stones!"

"This……"

Ge Yong hesitated.

"Why are you hesitating?"

Elder Zhang scolded: "If you have something to say, say it!"

Ge Yong cupped his hands and said, "Elder Zhang, with all due respect, even if we reduce the price to 3,000 high-grade spirit stones, we will not be able to compete with Moling Crafting Workshop."

"Why, you don't believe in this old man's level of refining?" Elder Zhang's eyes widened, and there was a hint of anger in his eyebrows.

Ge Yong said softly, "You only need one set of materials to customize a high-grade spirit tool in the Moling Craft Refinery Workshop."

"what!"

Elder Zhang slapped the table, his expression changed greatly, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

"This is impossible!" Elder Zhang kept shaking his head.

Even if he made it himself, at least ten materials were needed to ensure that a high-grade spiritual tool could be finally refined.

And the Moling Refinery Workshop only needs one material?

Don't look at the difference between the middle-grade spirit tool and the high-grade spirit tool by only one spirit pattern, but it is this spirit pattern that stumped most of the refiners.

With one more spirit pattern, the failure rate of spirit gathering will greatly increase. How can one material guarantee 100% refining of high-grade spirit tools?

Ge Yong smiled bitterly and said, "Elder Zhang, this is not the way to go. It will have too much impact on our Item Refinery Workshop."

"What is the origin of this person, have you inquired about it?" Elder Zhang suddenly asked.

Ge Yongdao: "I have been inquiring, but there is no definite news."

"Shadow, come out!"

Elder Zhang suddenly let out a light drink.

"Squeak, squeak!"

In the shadow behind him, a half-human tall mouse ran out, covered in pitch black, staring at sly and cold eyes, screaming softly, exposing sharp teeth, like a sharp edge of a knife!

Ge Yong was startled.

This is an ancient relic shadow rat, a spirit demon in the foundation-building realm, elusive, sneaky, and best at sneak attack and assassination!

"You Ying, you sneak into the Moling Refinery Workshop for me tonight, don't expose your tracks, let's see what role this Mo Ling is."

There was a cold light in Elder Zhang's eyes, and he said slowly: "If you have the opportunity, you can kill this person directly to avoid future troubles!"

The shadow mouse responded with a sound, turned and disappeared.

In the royal city, ordinary cultivators are prohibited from flying with their swords, flying off the ground, and fighting against each other.

But this is not absolute, there are no loopholes.

As long as there are not too strong fluctuations in spiritual power, it will naturally be able to hide from the eyes and the senses of the guards of the king's city.

...

into the night.

As usual, Su Zimo sat quietly in the room, refining the dragon egg essence in his body.

Ye Ling was lying beside him.

At the third watch, Su Zimo felt something, frowned, and opened his eyes.

Almost at the same time, Ye Ling suddenly moved and listened.

After a while, a cold light flashed in Ye Ling's eyes, and he quietly walked out of the room, to the depths of the wall, hiding in a large black shadow.

Su Zimo looked carefully. Although Ye Ling opened his eyes, his eyes and body were perfectly integrated with the surrounding night, and he couldn't see any flaws.

If Su Zimo saw Ye Ling walk in with his own eyes, he wouldn't even believe it.

Not long after, a small head suddenly appeared on the top of the wall, and a pair of thieves looked around, patrolling the yard.

The Shadow Rat felt a vague sense of unease, but it didn't find anything unusual.

After a little hesitation, the Shadow Rat backed away from the wall.

At this time, Ye Ling was still standing in the dark night, in the shadow under the wall, motionless, with cold eyes, as if he was still waiting for something.

as predicted!

After a long time, the Shadow Rat reappeared on the wall!

It didn't leave, just cautiously, testing the situation inside the wall.

No danger was found, and the Shadow Rat felt relieved and slowly slid down from the wall.

At the moment the Shadow Rat landed, Ye Ling flashed out and rushed in front of the Shadow Rat in the blink of an eye at a speed that was indistinguishable to the naked eye.

The sharp claws that flickered with cold light came out silently, instantly piercing the flesh and blood of the Shadow Rat.

The Shadow Rat looked flustered, and was about to open his mouth to roar loudly.

A black light flashed across the night sky.

puff!

A crisp sound.

The Shadow Rat's head was pierced by a spike, and its eyes dimmed!

This thorn is the tail of Eidolon.

Still a perfect culling!

Shadow Rat has no resistance.

The whole process, from Ye Ling's shot to the end, was filled with a strong killing aura, pure and cold.

Ye Ling picked up the Shadow Rat, walked across the courtyard, came to the Jishui River, shook his head gently, and threw the Shadow Rat's body into the river, causing a wave to disappear instantly.

The flesh and blood of the ancient relics is not attractive to Eidolon!

Su Zimo narrowed his eyes, thoughtful, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

This shadow mouse was obviously sent by someone.

"Finally can't stand it anymore?"

...

True Fire Refinery.

Elder Zhang and Ge Yong stayed up all night.

Until the moment of dawn, the shadow mouse did not appear.

There was a trace of exhaustion in Elder Zhang's eyebrows, as if he had aged ten years overnight.

Elder Zhang took a deep breath, closed his eyes and waved, and said, "Go back and rest, the shadow is dead."

"This……"

Ge Yong also realized that it was already at this time, and the shadow had not come back, it should be more fortunate than fortune.

Elder Zhang walked out of the room and looked at the direction of Mo Ling's Refining Workshop. The chill in his eyes grew, and he said to himself, "Mo Ling, Mu Xiu will be destroyed by Lin Feng, I see how long you can live!"
