Longzang

Chapter 893 Distribution
The plaque bearing the inscription "Great Wilderness Craftsman God" had only been up for two days when it began to attract significantly more good fortune.

The next day when the shop opened, only half of the young masters and ladies showed up. For them, the rare iron wasn't the problem; the real issue was that there weren't enough boxes to satisfy their curiosity. Those who felt they wouldn't get any boxes didn't come at all.

But those who didn't come immediately regretted it.

On this day, a pink beam of light shot straight into the sky, and Tianyu, holding up his pink eight claws and laughing wildly, was etched into the hearts of many witches.

The dozen or so tin boxes in the shop were snapped up instantly. The young masters and ladies were already in a frenzy, and they were still not satisfied. They forced Wei Yuan to take out all the tin boxes that he had prepared to put back on the shelves the next day.

Finally, amidst the screams of another young lady from the witch clan, a beam of icy blue light shot into the sky, gradually condensing into a strange spirit floating in the air with countless ribbons on its back.

This was an unimaginable, breathtaking beauty, and there were two of them at once! The way the young masters and ladies looked at Wei Yuan all changed. Yao Lan reiterated that she had everything she needed in her boudoir and promised to be gentle and not hurt Wei Yuan too much.

Before Wei Yuan could even appreciate the sudden drop of more than ten streams of luck, he quickly dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding Yao Lan's massive claw.

The sudden bestowal of fortune by these young masters and ladies was no accident. According to them, even if Wei Yuan were just a painter, his aesthetic sense in creating two unparalleled beauties would surely have him snatched away by the Heavenly Witch and imprisoned as her private painter, with his works reserved solely for her own enjoyment. Moreover, these weren't paintings, but living spirits.

From that day on, the Great Wilderness Divine Craftsman's workshops were bustling with activity, and many Wilderness Witches came from far and wide, eager to see what other amazing works the Divine Craftsman who had created two absolutely beautiful witches would produce.

In contrast, the two powerful Imperial-level spiritual beings that Wei Yuan greatly admired had never been mentioned by Wu. Upon seeing the young master and young lady, they were initially delighted, then regretful, feeling that they had wasted their good luck.

There's a little side story here: the pink octopus was originally given to Tianyu, but it later reappeared in the tin box. This was at Tianyu's request.

He left a trace of his special divine consciousness on the iron box, and then pretended to open it by accident the next day, thus enjoying the envy, jealousy, and hatred of the young masters and ladies.

This move was indeed effective. Tianyu herself was unaware of it, but Wei Yuan saw it clearly. Tianyu immediately gained three powerful blessings.

It wasn't until the second blue jellyfish appeared that Wei Yuan began to reap a great deal of good fortune. This was because the young masters and ladies began to believe that the appearance of two stunningly beautiful witches in succession was not a coincidence, but rather a natural gift from heaven—a blessing bestowed upon him by the heavens.

For the next ten days or so, all was peaceful. Wei Yuan no longer needed to give gifts. With Miss Yaolan's help, he opened up channels for purchasing sacrificial power, ensuring a continuous supply.

Half a month later, Wei Yuan released the third peerless beauty witch, a spirit shaped like a starfish, which left behind purple afterimages wherever it passed, causing another sensation.

A month after arriving in the battle zone, Wei Yuan finally made another breakthrough in his research on the power of sacrifice. He discovered that the reason for the ever-changing nature of spirituality lies mainly in the resentment and karma within the power of sacrifice. The heavier the resentment and karma, the easier it is to produce an unparalleled little witch, and the more abundant the luck, the greater the power of the spirituality. Pure power witch luck will only produce all kinds of ferocious birds and beasts.

During this period, Zhong Weiyuan also gained his first Desolate Witch's Luck, from a Desolate Witch he had never seen before.

This desolate witch was also a former young master. He spent a lot of money to buy the Purple Shadow Starfish from another young lady, and then Wei Yuan obtained the first Desolate Witch's luck.

The next day, the sorcerer came to Wei Yuan's door, insisting on having a drink with him. This sorcerer was powerful and had a powerful background, so Wei Yuan couldn't refuse and had to accept the invitation.

During the banquet, the shaman was overjoyed and considered Wei Yuan a close friend. He expressed that he had dreamed all his life of meeting such a beautiful shaman, but all he had ever seen was always a little lacking. He never expected that Wei Yuan would make up for his lifelong regret.

This shaman drank over a hundred catties of strong liquor in one go, enough to intoxicate a dozen powerful shamans. Finally, unable to hold his liquor any longer, he patted Wei Yuan's shoulder heavily and blurted out his true feelings: "I've discovered it! Only an ugly creature like you, who suffers a lifetime of unrequited love and pent-up frustration, can create a masterpiece!!!"

Wei Yuan's expression changed. Why was he being attacked with witchcraft?
However, the subsequent advancement of the Desolate Witch's fortune proved that the Desolate Witch was speaking from the heart. For the sake of the fortune, Wei Yuan decided not to argue with the Desolate Witch.

When the banquet ended, Wei Yuan was not happy at all. Fueled by alcohol, he went back and spent the whole night forging with his hammer, creating two more peerless beauties.

He thought life would continue as usual, gradually approaching the point of reaping the fortune of the Wild Witches, then finding an opportunity to forge a celestial artifact, using it to create the strongest fishing line to catch the Dao Sword, and finally finding a way to escape back to the human realm. But fate is unpredictable, and unexpected events always occur: Tianyu was suddenly convicted and imprisoned, and all his personal belongings were confiscated, including Wei Yuan's shop and more than seventy little witches.

When the news arrived, Wei Yuan was also taken aback. The young master who brought the message was very polite, telling Wei Yuan that he could still use the shop, and the new owner would not interfere with Wei Yuan's activities, only requiring an annual rent for an iron box.

This young man was also an acquaintance of Wei Yuan, so Wei Yuan pulled him to a secluded spot, casually picked up an iron box and handed it to him, then asked, "What exactly happened to Tianyu?"

The young master sighed, "He had a dispute with Young Master Liu Yao. Young Master Liu Yao took a fancy to the pink rose in his possession, but Tian Yu refused to part with it no matter what. Young Master Liu Yao even offered the astronomical price of 100,000 pieces of waste iron, but Tian Yu still wouldn't make a move. Young Master Liu Yao was in great distress because of this..."

The young master leaned closer to Wei Yuan, lowered his voice, and said, "It's like watching your beloved sorceress being ravaged by other fat sorceresses every day. You know how that feels, right?"

To be honest, Wei Yuan didn't understand at all, but he could only sigh and nod in agreement.

The young master continued, "...Although many shamans enjoy this kind of thing, Young Master Liuyao hasn't gone that far yet..."

In short, Young Master Liuyao had no intention of doing anything. However, his eldest sister, the current deputy city lord, was furious upon hearing the news. She seized upon the fact that Tianyu had never been to the battlefield, treated him as a deserter, imprisoned him, and confiscated all his property.

"Tianyu has never been on the battlefield?"

"Yes! Although he's been in the war zone, he's only been doing business, moving goods back and forth, and hasn't achieved any combat results. All that fat on his body is from drugs; he's never experienced the ravages of war. All the strength he gained from eating has been used on the witches, bah!"

Wei Yuan then realized that Tianyu didn't seem to have much affinity with witches. These young masters and ladies usually treated Tianyu like a brother, but behind his back, they didn't really respect him. In this respect, humans and witches were no different.

The young man said, "The city lord still holds you in high esteem, so he specifically sent me to inform you that all matters concerning Tianyu are none of your concern. You can focus on cultivating your spirituality."

At that moment, a commotion arose at the shop entrance, and the Six Luminaries Young Master, whom they had seen before, entered. The young master who had come to deliver the message was also perceptive and immediately withdrew, leaving the shop to Six Luminaries and Wei Yuan.

Liu Yao seemed somewhat reluctant to speak, and after considering his words for a long time, he said, "This matter was initiated by my eldest sister, and there was nothing I could do. My eldest sister is always a woman of her word, and no one can persuade her otherwise. Besides, Tianyu does have something to hide. We all advised him back then to go to the front lines for a few days. With the brothers there, we certainly wouldn't let anything happen to him."

He had already agreed this time, but suddenly fell seriously ill and rushed off to find a miracle doctor, missing another opportunity. We, the powerful sorcerers, regardless of birth, are only considered heroes if they have seen battle. Tianyu, sigh, he's still young, playful, and lately he's gotten quite carried away, sometimes not understanding the seriousness of things.”

Wei Yuan sighed and asked, "Can you save my life?"

Liu Yao said, "Originally, deserters would be executed, but a large amount of property was confiscated from Tianyu, which can be considered compensation for the soldiers on the front line. Therefore, the city lord ultimately decided to exile Tianyu to Fengmang Fortress and allow him to return only after he has made ten times the military merit."

If Wei Yuan remembered correctly, Fengmang Fortress was the newest, smallest, most rudimentary, and most dangerous fortress in the war zone, located at the very forefront of the entire defensive line. Being sent to Fengmang Fortress was practically tantamount to execution.

When will we be exiled?

"We'll be setting off in three days. But don't worry, you won't be affected. You're a true master craftsman, and my elder sister respects you greatly. Besides, you're not suited for the battlefield. In a couple of days, the city lord will issue a pardon, exempting you from military service. After all, your contributions here are greater than on the battlefield."

Wei Yuan replied, "I will also go to the forefront."

Liu Yao was shocked: "Aren't you going to your death?"

Wei Yuan's mind was made up, and no amount of persuasion from Liu Yao could change it. Wei Yuan knew very well that if he didn't confront the enemy head-on, Tianyu would truly be doomed.
