Chapter 981 - Flame City (3)

"It's okay. I know that the Alliance Master Yuan has tried his best. I'll report the truth to Father when I get home," Leng Ruoxue said with a light smile.

"Miss Ning is too polite. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to help you in the end. I'm really sorry!" Yuan Biao was very satisfied with Leng Ruoxue's words and said politely.

The two of them praised each other for a while before Leng Ruoxue and the freak returned to the Falling Dwelling.

After staying in the First Alliance for two days, Leng Ruoxue and the others got up and bade farewell.

However, in a casual chat with Yuan Biao before she left, Leng Ruoxue accidentally revealed that her father had recently become obsessed with refining weapons and pills. He seemed to be collecting materials, so that night, she received a gift from Yuan Biao for her father…

After Leng Ruoxue and the others left the Ascender Alliance, they flew straight to Flame City.

Flame City, as its name suggested, was a place with abnormally rich fire attributes. That was also the headquarters of the Blacksmith Guild in the Divine Continent. Therefore, many blacksmiths rushed to Flame City every day.

At this moment, there was also the Artifact Refining Competition held by the Blacksmith Guild once every hundred years. In particular, this year's competition was hosted by one of the two great Artifact Gods of the God Realm, Mo Yan. The attractiveness of an idol naturally could not be underestimated. Therefore, there were more artifact masters heading to Flame City this year than every other year.

On the way to Flame City, the disheveled old man kept looking at the ring in his hand and couldn't stop smiling. Hehe! These were all top-grade refining materials! There were even more secret metals and mithril! And the things in this ring were the gifts that Yuan Biao had given to curry favor with the Ning family. Now, they had benefited.

"Look at how useless you are!" The old man did not like to see the disheveled old man so smug. He could not help but mock. Boohoo… Why did he not know how to refine pills and weapons!

"Hehe! I'm in a good mood and can't be bothered to argue with you!" The disheveled old man said calmly. He knew that this old man was envious, jealous, and hateful!

"Hmph!" the old man snorted, turning away from the smug old man.

"Girl, this Ascender Alliance is so rich!" The little old man kept looking at the ring in his hand and said happily.

"Okay." Leng Ruoxue nodded calmly, feeling very helpless in her heart. Alas! These two old men were too restless. However, that Yuan Biao was quite good at pleasing her, causing her to feel a little embarrassed even if she wanted to give Yuan Biao a big gift. After all, it was a small matter to receive help! However, a small crime was inevitable.

"Little Xue'er, when we reach Flame City, I'll introduce my master to you!" Leng Xiaoyu chuckled.

"Not interested," Leng Ruoxue said lightly.

"Uh! Little Xue'er, can't you give me some face?" Leng Xiaoyu said with an aggrieved expression. In fact, he just wanted to show off that he had such an outstanding descendant. Unfortunately, Little Xue'er refused to give him this chance. Boohoo…

"No," Leng Ruoxue said decisively, but she was laughing in her heart. Haha! For some reason, she liked to see this cheap ancestor holding back recently, so she wanted to tease him when she had nothing to do! Uh! It seemed that her bad taste wasn't too good!

"Little Xue'er…" Leng Xiaoyu begged.

"The weather is really good today," Leng Ruoxue said indifferently. Then, she turned her head and ignored Leng Xiaoyu's pitiful act.

Everyone chatted and laughed along the way. After flying for almost a week, they finally arrived at Flame City.

As they approached Flame City, Leng Ruoxue and the others felt a fire-attribute spiritual energy rush towards them, and the temperature here was obviously much higher than elsewhere.

"Miss, it's so hot here!" Feng Da couldn't take it anymore. His clothes were almost drenched.

"Yes, the fire attribute spiritual energy here is very dense. It's normal to be hot," Leng Ruoxue said in understanding. No wonder the Weapon Refinement Guild treated this place as their headquarters in the Divine Continent. This place was indeed very suitable.

"Haha! You'll get used to it. Moreover, ordinary cultivators can't enter Flame City unless there's an artifact refiner or alchemist leading them," Leng Xiaoyu explained with a smile. Flame City was important to the Weapon Refinement Guild, and it was no less important than the eight great clans attached importance to their Divine Realm. Moreover, because of Flame City's uniqueness, other than artifact refiners and alchemists, ordinary cultivators were generally not welcome here, even if they were from the eight great clans.

"Uh! Why?" Feng Da asked in confusion.

"Because this is the Artificer Association's headquarters in the Divine Continent! If it were you, would you welcome strangers to your house? Moreover, anyone who is qualified to settle down in Flame City is supported by the Artificer Association. Other blacksmiths are also not qualified to stay here for a long time," Leng Xiaoyu explained.

"Does the Cheapsake Old Ancestor have a place to stay here?" Leng Ruoxue asked lightly. As far as she knew, this cheap ancestor didn't seem to belong to the Artificer Association. However, his master was the vice president of the Artificer Association.

"Little Xue'er, guess," Leng Xiaoyu said mysteriously.

"I won't guess," Leng Ruoxue said without giving him face. Then, she secretly laughed in her heart.

"I have a place to stay here, but I've only stayed here a few times," Leng Xiaoyu said helplessly. Boohoo… Why wasn't Little Xue'er willing to cooperate with him?!

"That means we can enter!" Cui Zhu said happily. She was quite curious about everything here since she had just arrived in the Divine Continent.

"If the Cheapsake Old Ancestor can't bring us into Flame City, then no one can bring us in," Leng Ruoxue teased with a light smile.

"Yes, don't worry. I'll bring you all in," Leng Xiaoyu promised.

After Leng Xiaoyu promised, Leng Ruoxue instructed the little peacock to land near the city gate. After everyone jumped off the little peacock's back, they walked towards the city gate together.

Leng Ruoxue and the others were stopped by the guards at the city gate.

"This is my artificer certificate. They're all with me." Leng Xiaoyu took out a red token and said to the guard.

"You can go in, but they can't!" The guard glanced at the sign and said to Leng Xiaoyu.

"Why?" Leng Xiaoyu asked in confusion. When did Flame City change its rules? Why didn't he know?
