Chapter 2228: Chapter 2224: Observation Wasteland Princess

"Demon Iron, of course I remember. It’s said that this thing is a very precious mineral from another plane. Back then, Grandfather killed a Demon Monarch and obtained it from his Storage Ring. Why, does the old Prophet want Demon Iron? That’s impossible; it’s our family’s heirloom treasure."

Barton Nock snorted coldly, his expression becoming sullen.

"You need to change your temper. You’re not even half as good as your daughter. I haven’t finished speaking yet. Listen carefully, we’ve had the Demon Iron for so many years, and I’ve been burning it with earth fire, at least an hour every day. But it still shows no possibility of being refined into Immortal Energy."

Barton Nake’s serious expression made Barton Nock’s brow twitch.

Barton Nock knew about this matter too. During his father’s generation, the family hoped to refine the Demon Iron into an Immortal Artifact. But no matter what method they tried, they couldn’t melt the Demon Iron.

"What, has the old Prophet found a way to smelt the Demon Iron?"

Barton Nock sneered. If the Prophet truly had a way, he would have long tried to curry favor with his elder brother, without waiting until now.

"How could he have a way? He just foresaw that an object would appear in Wanghuang City in the next few days, and that object can help me smelt the Demon Iron."

Barton Nake looked up at Barton Nock, his eyes full of longing.

For an Artifact Refining Master, smelting a high-level mineral and refining it into a powerful Immortal Artifact is the greatest pleasure.

"It will appear in Wanghuang City?"

Barton Nock’s eyes instantly brightened.

"Yes, inform the girl. This item is likely to appear in the market or auction. As soon as it appears, contact me immediately."

Barton Nake said looking at Barton Nock.

Barton Nock nodded awkwardly. Although he was the City Lord of Wanghuang City, the person truly managing the affairs of Wanghuang City was Barton Nock’s daughter, Nuoke Yingmeisi.

Nuoke Yingmeisi is the youngest Golden Core Stage powerhouse in Wanghuang City. Not only is she beautiful, but her strength is formidable.

Many years ago, when Wanghuang City faced an economic crisis at the City Lord Mansion, Miss Nuoke Yingmeisi stood out, taking over the governance of the City Lord Mansion and Wanghuang City from her father.

And Barton Nock became symbolically the martial force in defense. He only appeared in Wanghuang City when someone caused trouble.

Barton Nock glanced at the attendant following him: "Didn’t you hear my brother’s words? Quickly go inform the young lady."

"Reporting to the City Lord, the young lady is not in the city today. Her Master has brought a distinguished guest to meet her, and they’ve gone to the Sunrise Building."

The attendant hurriedly bowed slightly and explained.

Barton Nock snorted: "Always running off to find that fox demon. You go to the Sunrise Building now and tell her that she’s the city’s administrator and should prioritize city affairs. Always hanging around with a fox demon makes me restless."

"Oh. Who is the City Lord referring to as a fox demon with such words incessantly?"

A sharp voice came from outside the courtyard.

In a white robe with a black cloak, Nuoke Yingmeisi walked in from outside.

Behind Yingmeisi followed a man and a woman. The man was a bearded burly fellow, and the woman had an alluring figure.

The eyes of everyone in the courtyard instantly fell on that woman.

Barton Nock and Barton Nake’s eyes quickly narrowed.

"If I’m not mistaken, this should be Elder Hu Sanqiu, one of the Eight Elders of the Fox Spirit Mountain Range."

After a long time, Barton Nock finally spoke.

Hu Sanqiu instantly laughed charmingly, her previously seemingly angry expression now turned into a seductive smile: "Didn’t I say? I knew Brother Nock would remember me. Yes, I am your Sanqiu sister."

Barton Nock was caught off guard by Hu Sanqiu’s gust-like approach, retreating repeatedly to Barton Nake’s side.

Barton Nake coughed: "Unexpectedly, the Third Elder of the Fox Spirit Mountain Range visits, our brothers have been quite negligent. Yingmeisi, you ought to properly entertain the Third Elder."

"Reporting Uncle, Third Master Aunt and my Master have just dined at the Sunrise Building. This time, Third Master Aunt is here to discuss business with us in Wanghuang City."

Yingmeisi smiled at Barton Nake and then spoke.

The reason Hu Sanqiu found Nuoke Yingmeisi was for purchasing minerals. Earlier, when Tang Ming came out from Fox Bachang, Hu Sanqiu calculated and decided to come to Wanghuang City.

Firstly, Wanghuang City indeed has mineral wealth. Because of Barton Nake, many Artifact Refiners gather here, so large mineral merchants are willing to ship minerals to this place.

However, when Hu Sanqiu mentioned it to Hu Jiuze, Hu Jiuze immediately shook his head. According to Hu Jiuze, Tang Ming trying to bulk purchase minerals here in Wanghuang City is virtually impossible.

Firstly, while many mineral merchants come here, they all sell the minerals to the City Lord Mansion.

Once Tang Ming attempts to acquire those minerals, he will have to pay a higher price than the City Lord Mansion, thus inviting trouble from the local Demon Slayer Clan.

Hu Sanqiu was familiar with the Demon Slayer Clan, naturally knowing their prowess. Inviting such an enemy for Fox Spirit Mountain is no good.

When Hu Sanqiu was fretting, Hu Jiuze laughed.

Hu Jiuze raised his cup for a sip: "Don’t worry, since it’s a matter of Tang Ming’s, I’ll definitely help. Before coming over, I’ve already communicated with my disciple. When she arrives, the mineral issue will be resolved."

"Who is your disciple?"

Hu Sanqiu looked at Hu Jiuze with a peculiar gaze. Back then, when Hu Jiuze became self-indulgent and came to West Desolation City, opening Mo Feng Inn.

Due to becoming a Ghost Cultivator, Hu Jiuze’s temperament grew peculiar. She had Barton Nake help refine a puppet of the ugly burly fellow appearance and even promoted having fox demons lurking in her Mo Feng Inn.

Initially, people didn’t believe Hu Jiuze, but she made appearances several times in those guests’ rooms, spreading the message.

Thus Hu Jiuze lived a leisurely life in Wanghuang City, with the inn being mere semblance, having no guests at all.

But Hu Sanqiu hadn’t expected Hu Jiuze to want to take on a disciple.

"My disciple is the daughter of Wanghuang City’s City Lord, now the city’s administrator, Nuoke Yingmeisi."

Hu Jiuze proudly looked at Hu Sanqiu.
