Martial Master

Incredible, truly incredible.

Qin Chen had never seen such a terrifying sculpture, directly piercing the human heart and containing the rules of the Heavenly Dao.

He was certain that the carving in the old man's hand did not contain any rules of heaven and earth or holy essence, yet it made him feel as if he could see endless possibilities, because the carving itself contained the supreme Heavenly Dao.

However, this type of Heavenly Dao aura was quite special, ordinary people simply couldn't perceive it. Qin Chen had broken through to the Saint Realm by absorbing the essence of the Tianwu Continent, which was the source continent formed when the universe was opened, allowing him to catch a glimpse of this statue's trace of Heavenly Dao aura.

"Eh."

The old man suddenly looked at Qin Chen with surprise; with a flip of his right hand, the human-shaped statue was put away.

He nodded towards Qin Chen, then looked at Ruo Rui and shook his head, saying, "If I had known earlier, I should have shamelessly accepted the invitation of your Wangu Tower's master to take on the role of a worshipper. Little girl, tell me, what trouble do you Wangu Tower want to bring me this time?"

After hearing the old man's words, Ruo Rui let out a long sigh. In front of the old man, she really seemed like a little girl, respectfully saying, "Senior Mu, this is our Wangu Tower's esteemed guest, Qin Chen. He wants to participate in the Heavenly Work's artifact crafting examination, but his artifact crafting level has not been recognized by the Guanghan Mansion. According to the normal procedure, he would have to wait until after the Heavenly Work examination competition, so..."

"You want me to help him pass the artifact crafting certification examination?

And then help him register?"

The old man said in a deep voice, his tone seemingly very dismissive.

Ruo Rui immediately replied respectfully, "Yes, Senior Mu, this is also the intention of our Tianxing branch's master."

She hurriedly took out the token of Tianxing Zhenren and handed it to the old man.

Hearing the old man's deep voice, Qin Chen realized that this old man was likely unwilling to help. After listening to Ruo Rui, he couldn't help but wonder, could Tianxing Zhenren persuade this old man?

This old man's cultivation definitely surpassed that of Tianxing Zhenren, and it seemed he had connections with the Wangu Tower. Would he care about the attitude of a Yunzhou branch master?

To his surprise, after the old man took the token, he waved his hand in silence, saying, "That kid Tianxing... actually willing to use an opportunity for this kid, fine."

He suddenly looked at Qin Chen and said, "This little guy is quite interesting. Since we have a connection, I'll help you this once. Your name is Qin Chen, right?

Alright, take this jade token and give it to the people at Yunzhou Qige. Just say whatever you want, but the Heavenly Work examination is not that easy; young man, don’t let this old man down."

After speaking, he tossed a black jade token to Qin Chen, then added, "Remember, kid, you owe me a favor. I'm not helping you because of that Tianxing Zhenren, but because of our connection.

Now go, don’t delay this old man's carving."

This was a direct dismissal.

Ruo Rui and Qin Chen exchanged glances, not understanding why the old man would say such things. However, Ruo Rui quickly sensed the situation and immediately pulled Qin Chen to bow, then exited the simple artifact crafting shop.

On the way, Ruo Rui looked curiously at Qin Chen, "Master Qin, do you know Senior Mu?

Why would Senior Mu help because of you? He even said you owe him a favor?"

This old man Mu had a strange temperament and sometimes wouldn’t even give face to the master, and this was the first time Ruo Rui had seen him say such a thing.

Qin Chen was also puzzled, "This is the first time I've met this person, I don’t know why he would give me a favor."

He was genuinely confused, and he felt no joy; this old man had an extraordinary identity, heavenly cultivation, and a strange character.
