Chapter 233 Ghost Lantern 1 Clan

Although the diffuse fog greatly affected the vision, the small amount of vision provided by Yatagarasu still allowed Ling to successfully avoid some obstacles and further speed up his pace to the settlement.

While on the way, Ling also asked Sanzu where he learned so many messed up words.

"That was taught by Master Hong," Yata squatted steadily on Ling's shoulder, "Now Master Izuna has also started to go on missions, and we are always bored at home. At times like this, we will go to Master Yugu's Ninja Crows to learn the Ninja Crows' techniques. Master Hong always goes to Master Yugu and tells us a lot about human weaknesses and interesting knowledge."

"Hong said so... Then there's nothing I can do about it, but if possible, I hope that no matter what you learn in the future, you will never tell me what you learned when I'm dealing with a corpse."

"I haven't seen Sanzu again since the last time we communicated with each other. Did Sanzu say anything to you?"

"Don't mention it, it's too hard to describe..." Ling stopped as he listened to the growing voices around him, "Well, the town environment here is still so unfriendly - Yata, do you still remember the sign of the black market? Thank you for your trouble."

Yata nodded and spread his wings, "I'll be back as soon as possible."

Compared to Sanzuka who is always noisy and often makes explosive remarks and attracts enemies, Yata is relatively quiet and much more reliable in his ability to do things.

Even in this foggy environment where feathers would get wet and flying would become difficult, he quickly brought news to Ling. After successfully leading Ling to the entrance of the black market, he shook his thoroughly soaked feathers and complained softly before releasing the spiritual power.

After hearing the complaints, Ling shook his head helplessly. Thinking about finding a summoning beast suitable for the dark and humid environment later, he walked into the inn in front of him with ease.

However, this relaxed mood was completely destroyed when he contacted the contact person through the black market and obtained detailed information about [Sword Forging Metal].

Ling tapped the tabletop with his fingers and said calmly, "I hope you can take responsibility for what you said."

"Of course," the middle-aged man with a mustache cast his eyes on the round fan clan emblem on Ling's chest, and a few drops of cold sweat appeared on the back of his neck, "In fact, it is precisely because the mineral vein is about to be exhausted that we can get information from the people of the Ghost Lantern Clan.

According to what we have heard, the Ghost Lantern Clan mined unknown metals with various magical properties from that mine, and the [Adaptive Recovery Metal] you mentioned is one of the metals with the highest output."

"Tsk... things are getting complicated." Ling retracted his hand and pinched his brows. "Is it possible to buy it or find a way for me to go in and mine it myself? I will prepare a reward that will satisfy you."

"We can try to help you contact the purchaser, but mining on your own..." The man shook his head, "I advise you not to think about it anymore."

"Why do you say that?"

"The mining location of the mineral vein is deep in the sea. Conventional ninjas simply cannot enter the seabed. Of course, I don't mean to belittle your clan. It's just that even the ninjas have their own strengths, but some environments cannot be overcome by having great strength..."

The middle-aged man paused and touched his full waist bag. He gritted his teeth and lowered his voice, "If you can give me half of the reward for the transaction just now, I can tell you some more inside information, but you have to promise that you will not mention it outside for a single cent between the time you step out of this door today and the time you leave the Water Country."

Ling agreed without hesitation, "Okay, but I don't have that much money. I can only promise to pay you off before I leave the Water Country... How should I find you? Or come here?"

"That's not necessary. You just need to pack the things and find a black market to have them pass them on to Nichishu."

"Tell me your name... I understand."

"Well, I still trust the reputation of the Uchiha." Hitoshi let out a long breath, and after a moment of silence, he spoke again, "I told you before that the mine is located in the deep sea, and the Kizuna clan is good at water transformation. Therefore, only the most outstanding ninjas of the Kizuna clan who have practiced this ninjutsu to a high level can dive in and carry out mining activities under the water pressure."

"Hmm...you mean the Ghost Lantern Clan voluntarily gave up mining?"

"Yes, and because the mined metal has many unique properties, the Kizuna clan is planning to commission a craftsman to make a ninja sword that can be summoned by spirits, so as to maximize the properties of the metal..."

Ling sat up straighter when he heard this, "...Do you know where the forge is?"

Rizhu took a deep breath, suppressed his trembling hands, and repeated "Fortune and honor are sought in danger" in his mind before finally speaking, "Yes, but it's just my speculation. I suspect there are three places in total..."
