Only after becoming emperor did he realize he was in a fantasy world of immortal cultivation.

Lin Yuan took in He Buxi's expression.

Clearly, Gong Xing intended to avoid him.

Lin Yuan shifted his gaze from He Buxi and thought to himself: It seems the fish has taken the bait.

"Junior brother, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but... I'm not quite sure either." He Buxi was truly in a dilemma. He didn't want to offend either Gong Xing or Lin Yuan, so he could only come up with this excuse in the end.

Lin Yuan nodded slightly, not taking He Buxi's reply to heart.

He Buxi looked at Lin Yuan, but he couldn't glean anything from the other's expression.

Fortunately, Lin Yuan didn't continue the topic, which allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief.

Then he couldn't help but think that, to this day, they had suffered repeated setbacks at Lin Yuan's hands, and that when Lin Yuan went there, Senior Brother Gong Yong would definitely not show any mercy.

He couldn't help but show a hint of regret, as he had already personally witnessed Lin Yuan's talent in weapon crafting.

If they are really expelled from the Weapon Forging Hall, it would be a real loss for the Weapon Forging Hall.

It's also a loss for his senior.

but......

Even if he were willing to offer a few pointers because of the cultivation technique Lin Yuan had given him.

But that's all he can do in the end.

After all, Lin Yuan had offended Gong Ren, who was not only a direct descendant of the Gong family but also the only son of the Sixth Elder.

He Buxi sighed silently in his heart.

As the two walked, they soon arrived at the weapon-refining room where Gong Yong was.

"Junior brother, please." He Buxi led Lin Yuan inside.

Upon entering the room, Lin Yuan glanced around briefly.

Gong Yong, who was sitting at the head of the table, immediately came into view.

His white robes exuded an extraordinary air, with a touch of majesty surrounding him, but all of this, when paired with his face, added a hint of chilling coldness.

Half human, half ghost.

The child will surely cry upon seeing this.

As for Lin Yuan, he simply bowed to the other party calmly and said, "Lin Yuan greets Senior Brother."

Gong Yong's gaze never left Lin Yuan from the moment Lin Yuan stepped through the door.

He was especially careful when Lin Yuan's gaze fell upon him.

He thought that Lin Yuan would lose his composure if he saw his face.

Whether it's fear or something else.

He's seen too much.

but no.

Lin Yuan's expression was calm, as was his gaze.

This made Gong Yong feel a bit more favorably toward Lin Yuan.

Then he said to Lin Yuan, "Sit down."

He Buxi, who was standing to the side, raised his chin.

He Buxi understood and then slowly walked to the table to pour Lin Yuan a cup of tea.

Lin Yuan looked up at He Buxi and said softly, "Thank you, Senior Brother."

"I've invited you here today, junior brother. Firstly, we're brothers, so it's only right that we meet and get to know each other better," Gong Yong's voice rang out at the opportune moment. He looked at Lin Yuan, recalling Gong Xing's instructions, and then continued, "Secondly..."

"There is something very important I need to tell my junior brother."

Lin Yuan nodded slightly upon hearing this.

"Junior Brother should have heard about Young Master Wujue's spiritual root repair recently."

"Of course," Lin Yuan replied.

Upon hearing this, Gong Yong continued, "Young Master Wujue possesses the talent of a Heavenly Spiritual Root Immortal. The fact that his spiritual root has been repaired is a joyous occasion for him and for the Gong Clan Immortals as well."

"Therefore, the Gong Clan will invite all major immortal clans and sects to celebrate this event in half a month."

Gong Yong took a sip of tea and then looked at Lin Yuan, saying, "The guests here today are either geniuses from sects or elders from immortal clans. The Gong clan is the head of the four immortal clans, so naturally we must show our clan's sword cultivator style in front of everyone."

"and......"

After a pause, Gong Yong's face showed a hint of difficulty. "This morning I received a message saying that this sword demonstration is of great importance. Sword skills are of utmost importance, but this magical artifact... cannot be a hindrance."
