Chapter 12609
The strategist turned to introduce Lin Yi: "Brother Xu, this is the leader of the Termination Society, the Termination Emperor, one of the most influential figures in Tianjun today."
He then turned to Lin Yi and introduced him: "This is my old friend, Xu Shaoweng, a top-tier divine equipment synthesizer of our time."
Xu Shaoweng looked at Lin Yi, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
He was naturally well aware of the strategist's character.
He would never normally make introductions for others, let alone boast about someone during an introduction; such a thing is unheard of for him.
"You are the End Emperor?"
Xu Shaoweng immediately smiled and said, "You are indeed young and promising. I have long admired your name."
Lin Yi was taken aback: "Senior, you're so far away in the Divine Realm Open Zone, yet you've heard of my name?"
Xu Shaoweng laughed heartily: "As long as you are willing, you will always be able to pay attention. After all, Tianjun is my hometown."
After a pause, Xu Shaoweng changed the subject: "I heard you recently acquired some divine equipment. If you want to synthesize high-level divine equipment, we can discuss it in detail later. It's rare for you to come back to your hometown, so you should do something practical for your fellow villagers."
Upon hearing this, everyone around him agreed.
Lin Yi revealed a hint of longing at just the right moment: "I've never seen what high-level divine equipment looks like before. I wonder if you could broaden my horizons, senior?"
The others readily agreed: "We've never seen anything like it before. This is a rare opportunity. Senior, please let us broaden our horizons!"
Xu Shaoweng's lips curled into a smile.
He brought these people here specifically because his target was Lin Yi. Since Lin Yi was so cooperative, it saved him a lot of trouble.
Xu Shaoweng turned to the strategist: "I wonder if it's convenient for you here, Brother Zhang?"
The strategist smiled and nodded: "Of course it's convenient, Bai Yu, you go and make the arrangements."
Zhang Baiyu responded, "Please follow me, everyone."
The group was immediately led to the Zhang family's main hall.
Under the watchful eyes of the entire audience, Xu Shaoweng flicked his wrist, and a long sword appeared out of thin air in front of him.
Golden and shimmering glass.
The entire hall was instantly illuminated with dazzling light.
Everyone exclaimed in surprise.
"Is this the legendary high-level divine equipment?"
Someone couldn't help but mutter in disbelief: "This is so much better than the intermediate-level divine gear that appeared on the track before. Compared to it, the intermediate-level divine gear is simply not worth looking at."
Everyone turned to look at Lin Yi.
Xu Shaoweng smiled faintly: "This King's Sword was crafted by my own hand. Even among high-level divine equipment, it is one of the best. I heard that you were recently rewarded with a mid-level divine equipment. Why don't you take it out and let's admire it together?"
Lin Yi waved his hand: "I'd better not embarrass myself. Compared to yours, it's really not worth looking at."
"Young friend, you are too modest."
Xu Shaoweng laughed heartily: "High-level divine equipment has always been a rare commodity. For you to have mid-level divine equipment, especially in a place like Tianjun, is already extremely rare. I heard that you have more than one piece of mid-level divine equipment."
Lin Yi was surprised: "Where did you get this information, senior? There is indeed more than one intermediate-level divine equipment, but it is not currently in my possession."
Xu Shaoweng's eyes flashed: "So it's in the hands of the End Monster?"
Lin Yi remained noncommittal: "Senior is indeed well-informed. Besides this King's Sword, do you have any other high-level divine equipment that you could broaden our horizons with?"
"Yes, yes, senior must have a lot of high-level divine equipment. Show us a few more pieces to broaden our horizons!"
Everyone agreed.
Seeing this, Xu Shaoweng didn't hesitate and immediately smiled and said, "It is said that wealth should not be flaunted. If this were the open area of the Divine Realm, I certainly wouldn't do such a stupid thing. However, since you are all fellow villagers and friends, there is no need to be so cautious."
As he spoke, he immediately revealed three more pieces of high-level divine equipment.
A longbow, a pair of boots, and a cloak.
Without exception, every single one of them was dazzling and auspicious, making people dazzled by their beauty.
The audience immediately erupted in gasps of amazement.
Lin Yi outwardly agreed, but inwardly remained silent.
They're all fake.
He secretly used the Wuhou Star Chart to examine them one by one, and found that they were all just for show. They were not even basic divine equipment, let alone high-level divine equipment. They were not even the most ordinary killing weapons. They were just empty shells to fool people.
Xu Shaoweng was still explaining things to everyone with great seriousness when Lin Yi's gaze involuntarily turned to the strategist beside him.
Logically speaking, someone as insightful as the strategist should not be fooled by such a trick.
Surprisingly, the strategist listened attentively, just like everyone else, and even nodded frequently in agreement.
"what's the situation?"
Lin Yi was truly confused now.
Did the strategist genuinely fail to see it, or did he see it but choose not to reveal it?
Lin Yi turned and exchanged a glance with Zhang Baiyu.
A strange look also appeared in Zhang Baiyu's eyes.
If even he could see it, how could his father, the strategist, not see it?
The only explanation is that the strategist was deliberately showing off.
What's the point of supporting someone against your will?
But in any case, the strategist always acts with great care and consideration, and since he has acted in this way, he must have had his own profound intentions.
Lin Yi was curious. Could it be that Xu Shaoweng in front of him wasn't entirely a fraud?
Surprised, he immediately released the World Will to conduct a comprehensive and in-depth investigation of it.
The strategist seemed to sense something and cast a meaningful glance at Lin Yi.
This time, Lin Yi was genuinely shocked.
The world's will has always been invincible, never failing no matter the level of the objective it faces.
After all, the level was too high, and the other party didn't even have a chance to notice.
This reaction from the strategist was unprecedented.
However, judging from the strategist's subsequent reaction, it was probably not an accurate perception, but rather a kind of instinctive alertness.
Even so, Lin Yi still found it quite astonishing.
From an ordinary person's perspective, this is comparable to someone being able to directly detect wireless signals using their five senses.
"What do you think, young friend?"
Xu Shaoweng smiled and looked at Lin Yi.
Lin Yi thought for a moment and finally gave a four-word evaluation: "Eye-opening."
Xu Shaoweng smiled and said, "If you want, young friend, you can actually have a high-level divine equipment crafted on the spot. The two most important conditions for crafting high-level divine equipment are readily available to you."
"One is the material for crafting divine equipment. Both intermediate and basic divine equipment can be used as crafting materials."
"The other one is the Divine Equipment Synthesizer."
“Originally, this condition would have been difficult to achieve, since Tianjun could not find a master craftsman specializing in divine equipment. However, I happen to be here today, so it can be considered that the timing, location, and people are all in harmony.”
"Young friend, you might want to consider it."
Lin Yi suddenly asked, "But I heard that synthesizing divine equipment requires a divine equipment synthesis recipe. Could it be that I misheard?"
The scene fell silent for a moment.
Everyone turned to look at Xu Shaoweng.
Although they were based in Tianjun and didn't usually come into contact with these matters, news of events in the Divine Realm Open Zone would eventually reach Tianjun, so they would hear about them to some extent. (End of Chapter)
