Oh no! I, the weakling, have become the villain!

Chapter 546 Considerations

Upon hearing Liu Ming's words, Xu Yao also showed a smile.

Although he didn't know Liu Ming personally, he was aware of Liu Ming's reputation.

The fact that Liu Ming was able to open a branch in Luoyang City shows that he is a capable person. No matter how you look at it, Liu Ming is the best choice.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Old Liu, I think you are looking for more than one weapon refiner."

"How about I introduce you to a few people?"

"Really? That's wonderful! Let's go to your residence!" Liu Ming's face lit up with joy.

“Okay! Then come with me!” Xu Yao said.

Liu Ming also stood up, and the two walked one after the other toward the inn where Xu Yao was staying.

Liu Ming followed Xu Yao into the inn and arrived at an exquisite and elegant courtyard.

Looking at the courtyard, Xu Yao's face showed excitement.

“Sir, this is my room!” Xu Yao said.

Xu Yao's room was a separate courtyard with a towering tree whose lush foliage blocked out the sunlight.

The courtyard is planted with rows of green bamboo.

These bamboos are a vibrant green, and they look especially inviting under the sunlight.

"Wow, it's absolutely beautiful! Sir, let's sit down and have a cup of tea!" Xu Yao said, looking at the scenery in the courtyard.

Liu Ming did not refuse.

The two then sat down together on a chair in the yard.

Liu Ming and Xu Yao each poured a cup of tea for the other.

"Mr. Liu, what brings you here today?" Xu Yao asked.

He didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.

"Xu Yao, I think you've guessed why I'm here. I'm here to find a weapon refiner. I want to forge a few weapons!"

"A few weapons? Elder Liu, these weapons of yours are all high-grade magical artifacts. In terms of both power and quality, they are far superior to other weapons," Xu Yao said.

"Hehe, although these weapons of mine are high-level magical artifacts, I haven't been able to successfully forge them!" Liu Ming said.

Xu Yao's face showed surprise upon hearing Liu Ming's words.

He never expected that Liu Ming would fail to master even one magical artifact!

Seeing the surprise on Xu Yao's face, Liu Ming said, "Xu Yao, actually, the purpose of my coming here is to find a weapon refiner. I hope he can forge a few weapons for me!"

“Our Heavenly Thunder Sect is not without weapon refiners. Elder Liu, why don’t you rest at my residence for a while?”

"I will send someone to contact a weapon refiner and ask him to forge weapons for you!" Xu Yao said.

"no need!"

Liu Ming shook his head and said, "I'm about to have this weapon refiner here! I think you already know his name, right? His name is Liu Qingshan!"

Liu Qingshan?

Upon hearing this name, Xu Yao was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected that his old friend Liu Ming would have such a friend in Luoyang City.

“Old Liu, your old friend is a remarkable weapon refiner!” Xu Yao said.

"Old Liu, besides looking for a weapon refiner, another purpose of my visit is to forge a weapon."

"I think that's why I came to Luoyang City this time," Liu Ming said.

"Old Liu, why are you in such a hurry to forge a weapon? Is something wrong?" Xu Yao asked.

"I'm going to use it to forge a magical artifact!" Liu Ming said.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yao immediately understood.

"Old Liu, what kind of weapon would you like to have forged?"

After a moment's thought, Liu Ming said, "I want a piece of black iron armor!"

"Mysterious Iron Armor? Elder Liu, are you sure?" Xu Yao asked in shock.

He knew that Xuan Tie armor was a material for making protective gear, and that weapon refiners also liked to use Xuan Tie to forge weapons.

However, the forging of the Xuan Tie Armor is extremely difficult, and most weapon refiners dare not attempt it lightly, as failure would require the compensation of a large amount of spirit stones.

Therefore, Xu Yao thought Liu Ming was joking, but when he saw Liu Ming's serious expression, he knew that Liu Ming was not joking.

"I am sure!"

Liu Ming nodded with absolute certainty.

"Old Liu, it's not that I don't trust you, but I'm worried about your safety!" Xu Yao said after hesitating for a moment.

"Don't worry! I'll be fine!" Liu Ming waved his hand.

"In that case, please show me your set of Xuan Tie armor!"

As soon as Liu Ming finished speaking, his body suddenly disappeared. When he reappeared, he was next to Xu Yao and grabbed Xu Yao's shoulder.

Liu Ming's figure vanished from Xu Yao's sight in a flash.

"Huh? How did you do that? Old Liu! Let me go right now, or I'll call for help!" Xu Yao's face showed terror the moment Liu Ming grabbed him.

Xu Yao felt his body drifting forward uncontrollably and immediately shouted loudly.

A cold smile appeared on Liu Ming's lips.

"You'd better shut up, or don't blame me for being impolite," Liu Ming said calmly.

"Okay! Old Liu, please let me go right now, I won't call for help again!" Xu Yao said quickly upon hearing Liu Ming's words.

Liu Ming put Xu Yao down and then looked at Xu Yao and said, "This is the third gift I prepared for you."

Take these three gifts and take a look. If you're satisfied, I'll forge you a set of Xuan Iron Battle Armor. If not, forget it!

"I really like all three gifts you prepared for me, Elder Liu! This Xuan Tie armor is incredibly powerful and extremely sturdy! What are the other two?"

Xu Yao's eyes were filled with anticipation.

Upon hearing Xu Yao's words, Liu Ming did not reply, but instead took out two jade boxes and handed them to Xu Yao.

Xu Yao took the jade box and opened it. Inside, he saw several palm-sized black iron blocks.

After carefully examining it, Xu Yao's eyes suddenly turned fervent, because he saw a rich spiritual energy emanating from the black iron block.

Xu Yao's face showed a look of shock: "Could this be the legendary black iron ore?"

"Old Xu, do you recognize this as black iron ore?" Liu Ming raised an eyebrow and asked upon hearing Xu Yao's exclamation.

Upon hearing Liu Ming's question, Xu Yao took a deep breath and then slowly spoke.

"This is the legendary Xuan Iron Ore! It's a treasure that weapon refiners dream of, and it's said that weapons made from it are extremely powerful and have boundless might."

However, to forge a weapon like this requires at least a master weapon refiner. Elder Liu, how could you possibly possess the skill of a master weapon refiner?

Upon hearing Xu Yao's words, Liu Ming smiled.

“Elder Liu, your status is extraordinary. You are definitely not comparable to an ordinary weapon refiner, so I will not accept this Xuan Tie armor.”
