Although not many people had seen Chen Yi in the town, Du Rujiao was obviously not one of them.
As disciples of the three families of the small town, Du Rujiao and Chen Jing had interacted a lot. Naturally, they had met Chen Yi before.
It was true that the three families were at odds with each other now and then, but the small town was still too small. Facing the forces in other places, the three families were too weak to do anything, so they sometimes joined forces.
Therefore, while the juniors of the three great families were fighting and bickering with each other, they would occasionally sit down calmly and say a few words, drinking a few cups of tea and chatting with each other.
Du Rujiao had come to the Chen Family before, and was also invited by Chen Jing. It was at that time that Du Rujiao saw Chen Yi.
A few years had passed, but Chen Yi hadn't reached the puberty where huge changes happened every day. Compared to a few years ago, the change wasn't that big, so Du Rujiao naturally recognized Chen Yi at first glance.
After recognizing Chen Yi, Du Rujiao became interested. The three families had a lot of people planted in each other's houses. Although these people couldn't get into a high position, they could still get information about each other.
The disease on Chen Yi's body had already healed, and once he broke through, it immediately rose to the middle stage of the Invigorated Meridian Stage. However, the news had already spread far and wide within the Du Family and Du Family, and many young disciples scoffed at it.
Even if it was good, it would be impossible for it to suddenly soar to the middle stage of the Invigorated Meridian Stage.
Du Rujiao was also suspicious of this. She really wanted to know what happened to Chen Yi's body.
Unfortunately, the relationship between Du Rujiao and Chen Jing had fallen to a low level. Without Chen Jing's invitation, it would be difficult for Du Rujiao to come knocking on his door.
Now that she saw Chen Yi outside, how could Du Rujiao not be happy. She rolled her eyes and chuckled. The hand holding the whip could not help but shake a little.
As for Chen Yi, when he saw Du Rujiao, his gaze also froze.
In Du Rujiao's right ear, he saw a faintly flickering orange light.
A new red packet with Orange Level appeared on Du Rujiao's right earring!
Chen Yi already knew that the system would release some new red packets from time to time, but he didn't expect it to be this fast. Before, the entire town only had one Orange Level red packet, but now, another Orange Level red packet had appeared before the red packet had even been picked up.
It was definitely a good thing for another red packet with Orange Level. This meant that Chen Yi's chances of obtaining good things increased greatly.
But the problem was that the Orange Level red packet was attached to Du Rujiao's right earring.
How could he ask Du Rujiao to take off her right earring for him?
But at this moment, Chen Yi suddenly felt a sense of threat. He subconsciously dodged. A black whip hit the ground where he was originally standing, causing a few cracks to appear on the ground.
"Eh? You actually managed to dodge it? " Du Rujiao was slightly surprised. Although she was not an expert in Minor Circulation, she was still a perfect Invigorated Meridian Stage with seven opened veins. Even if this whip did not use too much power, it was still incomparable to a normal practitioner who had just entered the Invigorated Meridian Stage.
Du Rujiao now somewhat believed that Chen Yi had broken through to the Invigorated Meridian Stage.
As they were both at the same level of Invigorated Meridian Stage, unless they made a move, it would be extremely difficult for them to see through the cultivation of the martial way of Invigorated Meridian Stage like the experts at the Circulation Stage level.
"Du Rujiao!" What are you doing! " Contrary to Du Rujiao's surprise, Chen Yi was annoyed by Du Rujiao's sudden action.
Du Rujiao said unexcitedly, "Brother Yi, it seems like you've really recovered. Take another lash from me!"
This time, Du Rujiao used a bit more strength. Ordinary middle stage Invigorated Meridian Stage warriors would not be able to withstand this whip, and if they were not careful, they might even be severely injured by this whip.
The whip was extremely fast. In Chen Yi's eyes, it was just a flash of black light, and the black whip had already arrived in front of him.
Chen Yi was about to use the [Burning Devils Body] 's first stage to resist when Chen Xu flashed and appeared in front of Chen Yi, grabbing onto Du Rujiao's whip.
Chen Xu said with a dark face, "Miss Du, this is my place. Buying weapons is welcome, fighting is unwelcome."
How could Chen Xu let Du Rujiao hurt Chen Yi so easily? If Chen Yi was unhappy with Chen Xu, and if he went back on his words and did not sell the Lapis Lazuli Stone to Exquisite Shop, he would be at a huge disadvantage.
It was one thing if he didn't obtain it, but if he did, it would be too much of a pain to lose it.
Du Rujiao's enthusiasm was immediately extinguished by Chen Xu. Du Rujiao curled her lips, "Since Boss Xu has spoken, this junior will not cause any more trouble."
Du Rujiao was not stupid. Now that they were in Chen Xu's territory, offending Chen Xu was not a good thing. Not mentioning that Chen Xu was a Circulation Stage expert, Du Rujiao could not offend Chen Xu just because she asked for something from him.
Seeing Du Rujiao stop, Chen Xu also heaved a sigh of relief. Although he was an expert in Circulation Stage, he was only average in Circulation Stage, after all, he had put more energy into forging weapons.
Ordinary members of the Chen Family, Zhang Family, and Du Family three families may fear him, but some of the direct descendants, like Du Rujiao and the others, wouldn't be too afraid. If they didn't give him face, he wouldn't be able to do anything.
It was true that he was an artificer, but the three clans had already purchased enough weapons and were about to reach the saturation point. As of now, the three clans bought very few weapons every year, so their attitude towards him was no longer as important as it was at the start.
Right now, the three great clans are even more lacking in third-grade Divine Weapons, which are also Human Level Superior Grade Divine Weapons.
Du Rujiao said with a smile, "Boss Xu, not long after this junior knows a direct disciple from Profound Imagery Sect who will be selecting disciples from our town. I plan to choose a good divine weapon as a present today, so why don't you introduce a few good ones to this junior?"
"The direct disciple of Profound Imagery Sect?" Chen Xu was surprised, and then he frowned.
In the Jingzhou, many sects were suppressed by the imperial government, but no matter how they were suppressed, to normal powers, sects were still considered a huge existence.
Profound Imagery Sect was a second-rate sect, and there were at least a dozen innate experts in the sect. No matter how weak a sect of this level was, they wouldn't lack Mortal level godly weapons, which made Chen Xu anxious. His godly weapons were considered alright in the small town, but to Profound Imagery Sect, they were nothing.
Chen Xu smiled bitterly and said, "Miss Du is really making things difficult for me. How would those senior direct disciples think of my broken godly weapon?"
Du Rujiao covered her mouth and laughed, "Boss Xu is too modest. Although Boss Xu is still lacking slightly in the forging of Human Level Superior Grade Divine Weapons, in terms of Human Level Middle Grade Divine Weapons and even Quasi-Human Level Superior Grade Divine Weapons, Boss Xu's smithing skills are not the least bit inferior to those three Fourth Rank's smithing masters."
Coincidentally, the direct disciple I know is not very old and is only at the Minor Circulation level. He will need at least a year or two to prepare for breaking through the Circulation Stage. If he can obtain a good quality Human Level Middle Grade Divine Weapon or quasi-Human Level Superior Grade Divine Weapon during this period, it would actually be able to increase his strength by quite a bit.
"So it's like that." Chen Xu heaved a sigh of relief, then felt proud of himself.
In terms of Human Level Middle Grade Divine Weapons, he believed that they were not much weaker than those high level Divine Weapons, and those high level Divine Weapons could not even refine a Human Level Middle Grade Divine Weapon that had the same power as a Human Level Superior Grade Divine Weapon.
Chen Xu said: "In that case, Miss Du can choose from among them. I hope Miss Du can choose a weapon that will satisfy her."
