Chapter 93

Tang Zheng spoke eloquently. ...

However, in other words, it means: Without my approval, you little brats can't just jump around recklessly.

And a month's time was also when Master Lu Huang was about to return to invite him!

The next day, Mo Feng from the Hundred Refinements Workshop came very, very early to personally deliver the invitation.

Not just early.

So early that the lunch banquet prepared by the Tang Family Castle had to bizarrely turn into breakfast.

Breakfast!

Tang Xiaotang and the others were extremely frustrated.

How could they invite such a distinguished guest from the Hundred Refinements Workshop to just have breakfast?

But Mo Feng came so early, the sky had just barely brightened when he appeared at the gate of the Tang Family Castle.

Moreover, he only brought two apprentices, a total of three people, without a carriage, and rode over on horseback.

Tang Xiaotang and the others only had time to serve a few bowls of clear porridge and a few dishes.

Mo Feng and his group ate very quickly, in just the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn, the three of them had already finished breakfast. Mo Feng wiped his mouth and said, "Thank you for the Tang Family Castle's hospitality. Where is Young Master Tang Zheng?"

"I'll take you there!" Tang Xiaotang personally led the way for Mo Feng.

The two apprentices behind Mo Feng delivered the invitations to the various members of the Tang Family Castle.

Halfway through, Tang Xiaotang suddenly remembered a serious issue.

She was caught off guard by Mo Feng's arrival time and ended up forgetting a very important thing—sending someone to notify Tang Zheng!

So when Mo Feng arrived at Tang Zheng's courtyard, he saw Tang Zheng in a sleepwear, with messy hair like a chicken's nest.

Tang Zheng was brushing his teeth in the courtyard. As soon as he looked up, he saw Mo Feng and Tang Xiaotang walk in.

"Damn, my image!" Tang Zheng spat out the water in his mouth and quickly lowered his head to avoid Mo Feng's curious gaze.

...

Tang Zheng asked Mo Feng to go into the house and quickly tidied himself up.

Tang Xiaotang went to get breakfast for him, leaving Tang Zheng and Mo Feng alone.

Mo Feng solemnly handed a purple-gold engraved invitation to Tang Zheng: "Master Lu Huang will come to Wulong Town on the fifth day of the fifth month. He will set up a banquet to return the invitation to Young Master Tang Zheng. This is the invitation."

Tang Zheng opened it and looked. The date was the fifth day of the fifth month, the location was the Yangxian Building next to the East Street Hundred Refinements Workshop, and the inviter was Lu Huang. Everything was written very clearly.

After Tang Zheng finished reading the invitation, Mo Feng bowed: "Then I will take my leave."

"Wait, wait." Tang Zheng quickly stopped him. It turned out this tech enthusiast really just came to deliver the invitation and leave?

"Is there anything else?" Mo Feng turned back.

"Um... Let me think. There really is!" Tang Zheng took out his purple jade phoenix pendant and asked, "How many of these can be bought from the Hundred Refinements Workshop?"

Mo Feng picked up the purple jade phoenix pendant and looked at it for a while, then raised his head: "How many do you want?"

Tang Zheng estimated: "About thirty to forty pieces should be enough, right?"

"..." Mo Feng immediately thought of the dagger he was researching.

Hundreds of taels of purple gold to cast a one-star dagger, just thinking about it made Mo Feng's heart ache.

Now, hearing Tang Zheng ask for thirty to forty pieces of purple jade phoenix pendants, he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

One or two pieces he could still manage, but what did thirty to forty pieces mean? How many purple jade phoenix pendants were there in the entire Starlight Continent?

Most of the fine engravings already had owners. Was he supposed to snatch them from others?

"What do you need so many for?" Mo Feng, a tech enthusiast, thought for a long time but still traced back to the root of the problem, "You're just one person, you can only wear two pendants at most. Can you wear thirty to forty?"

"Can't I buy them to give as gifts?" Tang Zheng casually flipped through the "Taqiao Hand Record" on the table and smiled.

"Give to the people of the Tang Family Castle?" Mo Feng looked at him with a puzzled face, "If you have so much purple gold, you might as well use it to engrave and repair the training ground array of the Tang Family Castle! Although the effect won't be as good as the purple jade phoenix pendants, it's much cheaper and easier."

Tang Zheng listened, his lips slightly parted.

When he first came to the Tang Family Castle, Tang Xiaotang had told him that to cultivate star power, one must go to the training ground because it had a purple gold array that could increase cultivation speed.

But from what Mo Feng said, the training ground of the Tang Family Castle could be re-engraved with an array?

"But I don't know how to engrave arrays." Tang Zheng raised his eyelids as if unintentionally and asked, "Do you?"

"Of course." Mo Feng answered proudly.

Not every caster could use purple gold.

But he was one of them!

"Is purple gold casting... very difficult?" Tang Zheng asked again.

"To say it's difficult, it is indeed difficult, but to say it's easy, as long as the master leads the right path, it's also very easy." Mo Feng was slightly modest.

"Then, since that's the case, I'll trouble Master Mo Feng today," Tang Zheng quickly put a high hat on him, "Fortunately, Master Mo Feng can re-engrave the training ground array of the Tang Family Castle, saving me the trouble of looking for purple jade phoenix pendants!"

As he spoke, he casually picked up a storage bag from under the bed and laid out three gold bars.

Mo Feng's eyes almost popped out. He was a craftsman and knew more about purple gold than Ban Yilou. Without even touching them, his face turned pale: "P-pure... pure gold?"

"Um, is it enough?" Tang Zheng asked, "I want the best array!"

"..." Mo Feng didn't know what was wrong with Tang Zheng's brain. To take out three such large pieces of purple gold and still ask if it was enough?

"Then, how should Master Mo Feng's compensation be calculated?" Tang Zheng asked.

"Five taels of purple gold!" Mo Feng's price wasn't low, but compared to the three pieces of purple gold in front of him, his voice seemed to weaken.

Mo Feng's eyes were still fixed on the three pieces of purple gold. He had already started designing in his head. With such large pieces, perhaps he didn't need to crush them into gold dust but could melt them into ink, which would be several times better than gold dust.

However, when he saw the cutting work on the three pieces of purple gold, his face turned pale again.

The cutting was so neat, it didn't seem like it was done by a human, so beautiful that he almost didn't have the heart to melt them.

Tang Zheng waited for him to be in a daze, not saying a word. Tang Xiaotang came in to bring Tang Zheng his breakfast. Seeing his gaze, she asked suspiciously, "Master, why are you smiling so formally?"

"Ah? Am I?" Tang Zheng squeezed his face with both hands, "Oh, it's just that I hit it off with Master Mo Feng. I'm happy. Yes, happy!"

...

Mo Feng, with the three pieces of purple gold, led the two apprentices back to the Hundred Refinements Workshop. They brought all kinds of furnaces, casting furnaces, and fusion furnaces, but then suddenly remembered, no!

He came to the Tang Family Castle early in the morning to deliver an invitation, right?

When did the re-engraving of the training ground array come up?

"Whatever, it doesn't matter. For such good pure gold, it's worth it." Mo Feng shook his head, with the mindset of a tech enthusiast who takes on any job, and started drawing the design.

Tang Zheng stood on the side, seemingly chatting and practicing martial arts, but his eyes were actually constantly glancing at Mo Feng's furnaces, trying to learn from him.

He only used a casting furnace to cast the dagger. But when a true casting master came, a dozen types of furnaces were already lined up, looking extremely professional, like a chemistry experiment.

He thought about when he would also go and get a set, and some beakers and test tubes, and then he would have a complete set, which would look even more professional and high-end than the Hundred Refinements Workshop.

Re-engraving the training ground array, purple gold was the main material, accounting for ninety percent of the materials. The remaining scraps, Mo Feng included in the two taels of purple gold compensation, without even mentioning it to Tang Zheng.

Re-engraving the array was a big project.

Mo Feng, with seven apprentices, took ten days to complete the first engraving.

However, the first time took longer.

After drying for a day, the second re-engraving only took two days.

After drying for another day, the third re-engraving only took one day.

While Mo Feng and his team were working, Tang Zheng was actually practicing inside. As the array was completed, he could feel that his perception of star power became clearer. The array engraved with three pieces of purple gold improved his star power cultivation as much as the raw materials in his purple gold belt!

"Then, I'll take my leave." After completing the array, Mo Feng had dark circles under his eyes.

"Master, take your time, rest well, and remember to take the Ten-Ingredient Great Tonifying Pill when you get back..." Tang Zheng waved his hand with a smile.

A mediocre craftsman, casting consumes physical strength.

But a top-notch craftsman, casting consumes heart and soul!

"Is this what you call... passion?" Azhi asked on the side.

"..." Tang Zheng stumbled.

"Hey, Master, what are you doing with all these big and small packages of garbage?" Tang Xiaotang asked, seeing the things in Tang Zheng's hands.

What Tang Zheng held were all the auxiliary materials that Mo Feng and his team didn't use up.

Tang Zheng smiled, "I'll keep them for experiments."

After Tang Zheng finished picking up the garbage, the disciples of the Tang Family Castle stepped into the new training ground array. As they turned their star power, their eyes widened.

"Compared to the array of the Xuantian Yin Yue Sect, it's not much different," Meng Fenghua said.

The disciples of the Tang Family Castle couldn't believe that the array in their small family could be as good as that of the Xuantian Yin Yue Sect.

One by one, the disciples of the Tang Family Castle entered the array and quickly began to practice.

And Tang Zheng, of course, joined their ranks.

He already had the purple gold belt and the purple jade phoenix pendant, so he couldn't wear any more. But the array of the Tang Family Castle didn't conflict with these two, and it could bring additional cultivation effects!

Star waves surged, star power gathered...

Although he spent some effort on Mo Feng, Tang Zheng's star power had already broken through four thousand threads!

Yuxie was already mastered, and Yangxiao had also started practicing.

After mastering Yangxiao, there would be only one move left, Hennie!

With the precious hand record given to him by Tang Boyuan, even if he encountered a skill bottleneck, Tang Zheng had the confidence to break through in one go.

He kept practicing until noon, just before it was time to eat, when a servant from Tang Boyuan's side stumbled over in three steps.

He ran very fast, shouting from a distance, "Master! Your flowers, your flowers... have bloomed! All of them have bloomed!"

Although the servant didn't know what kind of flowers they were, Tang Zheng knew exactly what he meant.

That paper-drenched, gold-dazzling area, after waiting for half a month, had finally bloomed!

"To hell with the saying that it takes a hundred days to heal from a serious injury!" Tang Zheng sheathed his dagger, "Let's go see how Tang Yu and the others are recovering..."
