Chapter 120: Elder Yuan meet Mo Jian. The Face off.

In front of the Thousand Wealth Chamber, a group of young, beautiful girls held flyers and were talking to the people on the street about their chamber’s upcoming auction.

Some curious young men stopped and listened to their adverts, even though most of them came to feast their eyes on the beautiful girls.

The girls, with their beautiful, radiant smiles, captivated the audience. Frequently, some would ask questions, and the ladies would take turns to respond to their queries.

Suddenly, an Elder with a young man arrived arrogantly.

"Lead me to your leader. I want to ask them what gives them the confidence to announce such a brazen thing," Elder Yuan said with a sneer.

Instantly, the crowd gathered before the girls wore a look of anticipation.

Although they listened to the girls’ shenanigans, they did not for once believe it.

Now that an elder had stepped forward to question the authenticity of their claims...

They couldn’t wait to watch the show.

"Please, sir. Who might you be?" a female attendant stepped forward and asked respectfully.

"Humph!" Peng Ming snorted. "My Master is the Vice Master of the Artifact Refining Hall."

He raised his chin with both pride and disdain, looking at the attendants.

’Huh!’

The crowd was stunned. They did not expect the elder would be the famous Vice Master of the Artifact Refining Hall.

Almost everyone in the capital knew of Elder Yuan’s exploits in artifact refining.

It was said, apart from the Hall Master, he was unrivaled in artifact refining.

"Haha. This will be a good show."

"Indeed, it will be a good show."

"Let’s see if this new chamber will dare continue with their brazen claims."

The audience whispered among themselves as they looked at the female attendant waiting for her response.

However, instead of panic, the leading female attendant smiled brightly.

"Oh, so it’s Elder Yuan of the Artifact Refining Hall."

"Please, follow me inside." She beckoned and led both the master and disciple inside.

Immediately, the crowd wanted to follow them in and was stopped by the guards.

"What! Can’t we witness what they’re going to discuss?" a man in his early thirties questioned.

"How could you stop us? You’ve claimed to have refined unlike any other, but you don’t want us to know anything about it," a woman added with a deep frown on her face.

Listening to them, Elder Yuan stopped in his tracks and turned to look at the leading attendant.

"Let them in. This is a chance for everyone to know the truth about your chamber’s claim."

The leading attendant furrowed her brows and looked at Elder Yuan for a moment before she responded.

"Sir, please wait here. Let me ask my superior."

"Humph! You can do all you want. We will wait in the lobby."

Quickly, the leading attendant departed in a large stride. Looking at her departing back, an evil smile crept up on Elder Yuan’s face.

’Ah! This is a chance to increase my prestige in the capital.’

’With this greenhorn, I’ll use them as a stepping stone for the upcoming summit,’ he thought, and a wild grin crept up his face for a moment before it disappeared.

On the third floor, everyone was extremely busy, unlike the first floor which was empty.

Attendants moved from one room to another to complete their orders.

The female attendant rushed to the last room and knocked lightly.

"Come in."

Creak!

She pushed open the door and entered a lavishly decorated office.

"Young Master Zhao, Elder Yuan from the Refining Hall is here," she reported.

"Hmm?" Zhao Tian raised his head in confusion and asked, "What does he want?"

The female attendant quickly explained what happened to him.

"Oh! I see..." He nodded and smiled. "You can leave."

"Yes, young master."

Meanwhile, the news of Elder Yuan challenging the Thousand Wealth Chamber had spread through the commerce district.

Many apprentice refiners and even masters rushed to the Thousand Wealth Chamber to watch the show.

Apart from that, the powerful pavilions, chambers, and halls caught the news and sent their men to watch the show.

Even though they did not take the Thousand Wealth Chamber seriously, they all wanted to know what gave them the courage to make such a brazen claim.

In a matter of minutes, a large crowd had gathered right in front of the Thousand Wealth Chamber.

Some of them even held an image stone to capture everything that happened.

Looking at the ever-increasing crowd, Peng Ming had a foolish grin on his face.

As long as his master destroyed this chamber, his and his master’s prestige would grow exponentially.

Elder Yuan was having the same thought as his disciple. This was his moment, and he couldn’t afford to miss.

Quickly, various plans to decimate the Thousand Wealth Chamber formed in his mind.

He had to make it dramatic and not make it as if he was glorifying his achievement.

Just as he was making various nefarious plans in his mind, time wisped by and the crowd began to grow impatient.

"Where is the leader of the chamber?"

"Is he trying to hide?"

"I knew it!" Peng Ming sneered, a glint of triumph in his eyes.

This chamber echoed with restless noise.

"With my master’s mastery in artifact refinement, he wouldn’t even boast of forging an unseen artifact."

"If their leader dares remain hidden," he continued, voice sharp like a blade,

"We must report this chamber to the City Lord. Such a dark and wicked place cannot be allowed to dwell within the capital’s bounds."

"They would soil the prestige of the Artifact Refining Hall and also affect other chambers and pavilions."

In an instant, the crowd’s murmur swelled into a restless tide, voices rising like waves of unease.

They had come to witness a spectacle, yet stood like fools for over ten long minutes, shadows of doubt creeping in.

Was the chamber teasing them? Its silent game, a cunning illusion playing them all for fools?

Elder Yuan was already getting impatient; his expression turned unsightly.

He would have lashed out at the chamber if he was not trying to play the hero.

Suddenly, a group of both male and female attendants walked into the lobby carrying furniture.

Looking at the attendants, Elder Yuan and the crowd were confused.

What is happening? they all wondered silently, their minds echoing with confusion.

Without a single word, the attendants moved swiftly and silently, erecting a lavish pavilion at the heart of the lobby.

Each piece of furniture, carved from priceless wood, gleamed with an opulence that dazzled the eyes.

Onlookers stood, stunned—a sea of curiosity and doubt.

What is truly happening?

This was meant to be a clash between the chamber leader and Elder Yuan, yet now, it was turning into a party or something.

With everything set, the attendants left with a large stride without looking back.

Silence!

Everyone held their breath, unsure of what to make of what they were looking at.

Creak!

Suddenly, a light footfall echoed faintly from afar, drawing all eyes toward the origin.

Like a whisper of moonlight, a young man in silver robes descended the stairs, calm and unhurried.

His handsome visage and noble hair silenced the crowd, leaving them in awe.

Who could this be?

Huh?

What a striking youth—his presence like a dawn breaking through the shadows.

Behind him was a fat young man, and behind him were two people with expressionless faces.

Looking at the handsome young man, Peng Ming’s face was full of envy.

He was handsome, but compared to the young man, he paled in comparison.

’Humph! Looks are nothing. As long as my master destroys your leader, no one would care about your face,’ he thought, and a sneer crept up his lips.

Mo Jian did not care about their thoughts and their looks; he took a seat.

"I heard someone wanted to see me?" he asked in an unhurried tone.

’Huh!’

The audience was stunned. Elder Yuan and Peng Ming widened their eyes in disbelief.

This!

Don’t tell me he’s the leader of the chamber!

Gush! I didn’t see that coming.

Elder Yuan recovered quickly and cleared his throat. Now that his target had arrived, he had to put on a good show.

"It is me. I’m Elder Yuan, the Vice Master of the Artifact Refining Hall," Elder Yuan introduced himself with a confident smile.

Mo Jian nodded and adjusted his seating position. "So, what do you want with my chamber?"

Without waiting for Elder Yuan to speak, he took out his spirit tea and began to make tea for himself.

Watching his actions, the audience widened their eyes in disbelief.

His arrogance was unlike anything they had ever seen.

This was Elder Yuan, the Vice Master of the Artifact Refining Hall.

Just his mere presence alone is an honor to him.

How could he look down on him?

Indeed, Mo Jian looked down on him. How could he not know Elder Yuan’s schemes?

If he truly wanted to find out about their artifact, he wouldn’t have made such a dramatic entrance.

Therefore, why would he give him any face?

Elder Yuan was furious and clenched his fist. This was the first he was treated this way since he became a master refiner.

You dare look down on me!

Humph! After I destroy your chamber...

I’ll take everything from you.

Then...

I’ll kill you and make sure you regret you were born.

Beside him, Peng Ming’s expression was also unsightly. Veins protrude on his forehead.

This bastard!

You just wait. Let’s see how you beg for your life under my master’s rage.

Taking a deep breath, Elder Yuan recovered his composed expression and asked,

"You boast that your chamber has forged a never-before-seen artifact—Isn’t that a fraud?"

"Even the Artifact Refining Hall does not even boast such, and you from God-knows-where made such a claim. If this is not a fraud, what is it?"

"What do you or your chamber even know about artifact refinement?"

"Show us your artifact refiner and we’ll know if your claim is true or not."

Listening to him, all the audience nodded their heads in agreement.

What Elder Yuan said was all true, and they couldn’t wait for Mo Jian to make a fool of himself.

Mo Jian did not raise his head under the barrage of accusations.

Slowly, he took a sip from his spirit tea and enjoyed the taste before he dropped the teacup.

"Now, I can answer your question," he said calmly. "But first, let me ask you..."
