The lean old man, Xu Changqing, was stunned, only feeling that this sentence had a deeper metaphorical meaning.
A thought flashed through Ding Haoâs mind. After thinking for a while, he took out a list and handed it over, saying, âMr. Xu, there are a few things I need to buy. Please pay attention to them. If you can find them, I am willing to pay a high price for them. Thank you.â
After saying so, Ding Hao left without leaving a trace.
Xu Changqing wanted to say something more, but it was too late. He looked down at the list in his hand. After reading the first line, he was greatly shocked. By the time he finished reading the list, he was already a little numb.
The items listed on it were too precious.
They were not just precious, but they were rare. All of them were divine materials. Each of them was no less precious than the Primordial Concentrated Ore. They were all god-level treasures, each of which was enough to drive people crazy.
âHe needs so many divine materials. Does he want to forge a Divine Artifact?â
When he wanted to ask more, Ding Hao was already gone.
He did not dare to be careless in his heart. After all, the identity of this young man was special, and the origin of the Purple-gold Card was extraordinary. Although the things recorded on the list were rare and Shengyuan Bank might not be able to collect them, he still had to work hard to look for them.
âWe must report this issue as soon as possible. With the appearance of the Purple-gold Card, the person whom we have been waiting for will finally comeâŠâ
Xu Changqingâs face was grim.
Masters from various forces in the hall also went out following Ding Hao with different goals when they saw this scene.
Xu Changqing saw this and softly said to the air behind him, âPay attention to these people. Secretly protect that young man if necessary. Donât let anything happen to him.â
A voice sounded in the void without warning, and then vague transparent ripples flashed and disappeared.
After leaving Shengyuan Bank, Ding Hao merged into the tide-like stream of people.
Almost in a few steps, his appearance changed in a magical way again. His body became a bit sturdier, and his skin color was dark. His temperament, appearance, and even his hair color were completely different from before.
He sensed the auras of the figures chasing behind him.
It was obvious that he could not get rid of those pursuers just by changing his appearance once. The masters of the major forces all had their own ways of tracking him down. The moment he walked out of the hall of the bank, Ding Hao clearly felt that there were six or seven more marks of Divine Senses on his body in an instant.
After walking for thousands of meters, the number of people following him gradually decreased.
Ding Hao sneered. With a stir of his mind, he removed most of the marks of Divine Senses on his body, leaving only one. Then he took a step forward and instantly moved a kilometer away. After changing his appearance again, he completely disappeared into the crowd.
The expressions of the dozens of people who had been following him suddenly and greatly changed. They tried to chase after Ding Hao in a hurry, but they had lost track of him.
âOops, he has got rid of us!â
âIncredible. He could escape under such circumstances.â
âHumph, he must still be in the Stone Mouth City. I must find him. I remember the aura of his power. As long as he appears within a kilometer around me, I will definitely recognize him, no matter how he has changed his appearance.â
âThat is a Primordial Concentrated Ore, a peerless treasure. It is worth it even if it means offending Shengyuan Bank to compete for the treasure.â
These people thought to themselves and disappeared into the crowd.
Soon, a shocking piece of news spread through various channels in the Stone Mouth City. A mysterious young man was very lucky. When he cut open a concentrated ore from the deep sea, he found a Primordial Concentrated Ore. This news shocked all the parties and caused all the forces to take action.
Primordial Concentrated Ore was something that could be used to forge Divine Artifacts, and it had countless uses. Who wouldnât be interested in a rare and peerless treasure?
Even the force of the Godâs Palace began to investigate it in secret.
The Stone Mouth City was already crazy about the Immortal Artifact and the immortal medicine catalyst, but that night, it seemed even crazier. Everyone was frantically searching for Ding Hao. The portraits of Ding Haoâs appearance in the hall of Shengyuan Bank were distributed by all the major forces.
There were all kinds of people in the Stone Mouth City, so it was not difficult for so many forces to find a man. Now, someone would be the first to find the lucky young man.
When the whole Stone Mouth City wanted to find Ding Hao, he was already back in the Red Stone Manor.
He came to the training room at once. After setting up the Isolation Tactical Deployment around him, he took out the fist-sized Primordial Concentrated Ore.
All of a sudden, the whole secret room was full of blue brilliance. There seemed to be dreamy waves flowing, and there were faint sounds of ocean waves rolling. It seemed as if the ancient water elves were singing.
âGentlemen, you finally woke up,â said Ding Hao excitedly.
âAlas, Iâve slept for too long a timeâŠâ The Saber Masterâs voice sounded in his mind. âLittle Chap Ding, youâve finally entered the Sage Realm? Well done. The dual meridian Sage Realm. Now you can also be called a master⊠Oh, by the way, I think you need a spanking. How dare you call me âGentlemanâ?â
Ding Hao quickly and anxiously corrected himself. âIâm sorry, I was wrong. Sister Saber. Saber Fairy.â
âHmm.â The Saber Master snorted with satisfaction.
âAt such an old age, you are still pretending to be young. You are really shameless.â The Sword Master was still trying to confront the Saber Master. He was arguing with the latter when he said the first sentence. Then he asked, âBy the way, Little Chap Ding, how long has it been? What happened during this time? Tell me.â
Ding Hao at once told them what had happened during the time when the two old monsters were asleep.
After hearing that, the two old monsters were both quiet.
âI didnât expect so many things to happen. Boy, you are really audacious.â The Saber Master sighed. She was also sighing over the length of their sleeping time and the richness of Ding Haoâs experience.
âYou deserve to be the candidate that I favor.â The Sword Master sounded very proud.
âItâs none of your business. Itâs obviously me who favored him first, isnât it?â The Saber Master retorted and then said to Ding Hao, âYouâre really lucky, boy. You could even encounter the Primordial Concentrated Ore of the water element and get it so easily.â
Ding Hao chuckled and hurriedly asked, âBy the way, whatâs the use of this Primordial Concentrated Ore? Gentlemen⊠Um, no, Sister Saber, why do you value it so much?â
In fact, in the hall of Shengyuan Bank, Ding Hao didnât know how precious those concentrated ores from the deep sea were when he saw them. The Saber Master and the Sword Master, who had been asleep, suddenly woke up and secretly reminded Ding Hao that he had to buy all those concentrated ores from the deep sea at all costs.
Later, they told Ding Hao directly that two of the concentrated ores from the deep sea contained peerless treasures.
âDo you remember what I once said to you?â The Saber Master said in a slightly excited voice, âIf there is an appropriate opportunity, maybe the Sword Master and I can leave your sea of consciousness and choose new bodies directlyâŠâ
Ding Haoâs eyes lit up. âWhat do you mean?â
âYes, the Primordial Concentrated Ore of the water element is the treasure needed to realize this process, haha.â The Saber Master laughed loudly and said, âWater is the origin of everything. The Primordial Concentrated Ore of the water element has the strongest healing and restoration effect in the world. The Devil Saber and the Rusted Sword you have are both incomplete because of the heavy infliction. This Primordial Concentrated Ore can be used to repair these defects.â
Ding Haoâs breathing suddenly quickened. âSister Saber, do you mean that the Primordial Concentrated Ore of the water element can restore both the Devil Saber and the Rusted Sword?â
âWell⊠no.â The Saber Master sounded a little embarrassed. She said, âIf itâs just a fist-sized piece, itâs far from enough. The origin of your saber and sword is extraordinary. Itâs very difficult to completely repair them. This Primordial Concentrated Ore of the water element can barely repair part of them.â
Ding Hao nodded and replied, âI see.â He knew he had thought too much.
At this time, the Sword Masterâs voice was heard. He said, âNow Iâll teach you the way to repair the Devil Saber and the Rusted Sword with the Primordial Concentrated Ore. This process is quite dangerous. You must concentrate. You canât make any mistakes from beginning to end. Otherwise, at least, the treasures will both be destroyed, and at worst, the power of the sword and saber will rebound. You will be injured.â
The Saber Master said, âAfter repairing the Devil Saber and the Rusted Sword, mine and the Sword Masterâs divine souls can enter them respectively. We will no longer occupy your sea of consciousness. This process will be dangerous, but it is also good for you. Once the repair is successful, the power of the saber and sword will burst out again. This process can also temper the Sword Intent in your Divine Senses.â
âSo you have to think clearly. If you agree, letâs start now.â The Sword Master finally asked for Ding Haoâs opinion.
Ding Hao smiled and said without hesitation, âEven if it is of no benefit to me, as long as it is good for you two, I will never refuse.â
These words came from his heart and werenât flattery at all.
For so many years, Ding Hao had fully respected the two old monsters as his grandparents. He saw them as his relatives. Ding Hao would never hesitate to sacrifice for his relatives.
âThe boy is honey-lipped,â said the Saber Master happily.
The Sword Masterâs voice kept ringing in his mind. He taught Ding Hao a pithy formula and then carefully told him what he had to pay attention to during the whole repair process. He asked Ding Hao to repeat it four or five times. Only then did he feel a little relieved.
âLetâs start. The wretched woman and I will guard your sea of consciousness.â The Sword Master sounded more solemn.
It was rare that the Saber Master didnât joke with him anymore.
Ding Hao nodded and reviewed the whole process in his mind. Then he summoned the Devil Saber and the Rusted Sword, making them float gently on both sides of his body. He took a deep breath and divided the fist-sized Primordial Concentrated Ore into two equal parts. He held them in his palms, and then pressed his palms against the blades of the Devil Saber and the Rusted Sword.
As if they had sensed something, the Devil Saber and the Rusted Sword trembled slightly, making a faint sound.
