Chapter 2230: Chapter 2226: The Role of Divine Machine Refinement

Hu Jiuze let out a long sigh: "Yes, it’s all in the past. I can’t let it go. Back then, I let the master down, let them as a couple down, and now, it’s time for me to repay the favor. Regarding the ore matter, don’t violate the Prophet’s old ghost’s rules, I will help them resolve it."

Barton Nock nodded.

Barton Nake coughed: "Sister Jiuzhe, I want to ask you something. You mentioned before that the son of Master Tang Mosheng came to Wanghuang City, do you know if Master Tang Mosheng’s son understands Divine Machine Refinement?"

"Divine Machine Refinement? I’m really not sure about that. Why, with your level, do you still need to learn Divine Machine Refinement? Even if you wanted to learn, it’s a secret of the Tang Family, they won’t teach you."

Hu Jiuze paused, then said.

"Sister Jiuzhe, how could I be peeping at Divine Machine Refinement, the reason I want to inquire about it is because our family possesses an ancestral Demon Iron, which is extremely difficult to smelt. Until now, it hasn’t been refined into Immortal Energy. In the afternoon, the Prophet sent someone to notify me that my opportunity to refine the Demon Iron had come, and that someone in Wanghuang City could help me refine that piece of Demon Iron. So, I wondered, could it be Master Tang Mosheng’s son is that crucial person?"

Barton Nake smiled at Hu Jiuze, while Nuoke Yingmeisi’s eyes narrowed.

"Uncle, Master, we still need to deliberate on this matter over the long term.

Nuoke Yingmeisi had many considerations, after all, she wasn’t a traditional Demon Slayer, but was taught by Hu Jiuze.

In Nuoke Yingmeisi’s view, even if that person who could help Barton Nake refine the Demon Iron was Tang Ming, then it would be better to trade some ores.

If they were to ask Hu Jiuze for help, who would then contact Tang Ming, it would mean owing favors to both Tang Ming and Hu Jiuze.

Hu Jiuze had mentioned to Nuoke Yingmeisi that the hardest debt to repay is a favor. Naturally, Nuoke Yingmeisi, who was skilled at being elite, did not want to owe this favor.

Hu Jiuze nodded with satisfaction: "Good, it’s great that you can think of that. Rest assured, I won’t speak out on this matter, and if you want to inquire or investigate, feel free to do so. Before Tang Ming leaves Wanghuang City, I will always be your master."

Hu Jiuze’s words were very clear, as long as Tang Ming didn’t leave Wanghuang City, she stood on the side of Wanghuang City.

But once Tang Ming left Wanghuang City, then Hu Jiuze would belong to Tang Ming.

After sending off Hu Jiuze, Nuoke Yingmeisi returned to the small parlor: "Uncle, did the Prophet really say that the piece of Demon Iron has the potential to be refined? Once the Demon Iron is refined into an Immortal Artifact, what value would that Immortal Artifact have?"

Barton Nake shook his head, then said: "All of this is unknown, but if it is refined into an Immortal Artifact, it certainly won’t be weak. You think, a piece of ore that cannot be smelted for so many years, even if it’s not an Immortal Artifact, it can withstand very powerful attacks."

"Do you want to refine it into a defensive type Immortal Artifact?"

Nuoke Yingmeisi’s eyes lit up. Offensive Immortal Artifacts are often not as valuable as defensive and auxiliary type Immortal Artifacts.

Barton Nake nodded: "Yes, that’s indeed the case. By then, it’ll be yours to wear, after all, for our family, you are the most important."

Nuoke Yingmeisi’s face instantly turned red; "Uncle, I think it would be better for my brother. He is the heir to the family. Yingmeisi will eventually get married."

Barton Nake was initially stunned, then smiled: "Then let it be yours, consider it as the family dowry. After all, without you, there wouldn’t be the family as it stands today."

"Uncle, you really are, you just hope Yingmeisi gets married soon."

Nuoke Yingmeisi rolled her eyes at Barton Nake.

Barton Nake laughed, then said: "Not at all, it’s just that I feel you’ve worked so hard for the family all these years, and the family hasn’t given you much, making me feel very guilty."

"Uncle, don’t say that, you have given more for the family than I have. Besides, it’s voluntary for me."

Barton Nock had two children, one was Nuoke Yingmeisi, and the other was Nuoke Qiantons.

Qiantons was still young, only a teenager, not yet able to take on big responsibilities. Barton Nock was a rather uninhibited person, unsuited for managing a city.

In fact, people from the Demon Slayer Clan were very straightforward, and most of the cities were supported by the few wealthier cities like Wanghuang City.

After becoming the City Lord of Wanghuang City, Yingmeisi often left this city to help develop plans for other cities.

So within the Demon Slayer Clan, Yingmeisi’s status was not lower than her father Barton Nock’s.

This was also why Barton Nock eventually let go and handed Wanghuang City over to Nuoke Yingmeisi.

Watching Yingmeisi leave with her guards, Barton Nake took a deep breath: "Back then, our choice was correct. Just as the Prophet said, Hu Jiuze chose Wanghuang City, which was an opportunity for our Demon Slayer Clan. This opportunity created the current Yingmeisi."

"Yes, Yingmeisi is even more excellent than I imagined. Brother, what sort of man could be worthy of Yingmeisi? Our Demon Slayer Clan’s first warrior? Or your heir, an Artifact Refining Master capable of crafting a perfect Immortal Artifact?"

Barton Nock thought of his daughter’s marriage prospects, took a deep breath, then asked.

"I already asked the Prophet about this. He told me that Yingmeisi will be with a man but won’t marry. I never quite understood why, but the old Prophet’s words have always been accurate, as you know."

Barton Nake was momentarily stunned, then a strange smile appeared on his face.

Hearing Barton Nake’s words, Barton Nock raised an eyebrow. Back then, both the Prophet and Barton Nake trusted Yingmeisi very much, letting this woman become the figure behind managing Wanghuang City and many other cities.

This surprised Barton Nock greatly, and even left him with some resentment.

The Demon Slayer Clan is a patriarchal race, where the children’s surname follows the father’s name, showing how much importance they place on males.

In fact, this approach has proven to be correct for the race, as although the females of the Demon Slayer Clan are quite nimble and intelligent, they lag significantly behind men in cultivation talent.

Most women of the Demon Slayer Clan have become non-combatants.

Yingmeisi, affected by the news of Hu Jiuze leaving Wanghuang City, was in a bad mood and didn’t sleep well last night, but she still habitually went to the Heard Governance Room of the City Lord Mansion, waiting for reports from various departments of Wanghuang City.
