CHAPTER 211: 210. THE GIRL CONQUERED BY THE MOUNTAIN DOG (1/4)

"Claim it."

After Wen Ping received it, he directly placed it into the Storage Ring. Including the one he seized from Han Wen, he now had three Ten Talents Tokens on him. The preciousness of the Ten Talents Token was something he had known since he was in Huangli City.

Of course, these Ten Talents Tokens were not issued by the Hundred Sects Alliance, but passed down from ancient times—crafted a thousand years ago. Nowadays, it’s said that the materials used to create each token are no longer found.

It’s reported that there are only about 20 circulating Ten Talents Tokens, but no one knows the exact count. With just one token, it’s said one can freely enter the Ten Talents Trial, without restrictions on realm or age!

The most important fact is that it doesn’t limit the realm.

Meaning, possessing the Ten Talents Token allows even those in the Profound Realm to enter the Ten Talents Trial.

The initial guidelines set by the Hundred Sects Alliance, for those under 15 and below the 13th realm, are pointless before the Ten Talents Token.

Wen Ping wondered why the system would reward a Ten Talents Token; he felt there might be some underlying motive, something so complex that even the entire East Lake region was unaware of it. It’s unlikely the Super Sect System would deliberately create a side quest for an item whose value could be measured with Gold Coins!

Setting aside his random thoughts, Wen Ping’s mind then recalled the journey task, to find the Vortex Divine Artisan.

This was the top priority.

As for uncovering the secret of the Ten Talents Token, if there’s time after completing the journey task, he could take a look.

"Let’s go."

Wen Pingchong waited by the Thunder Pool for Yu Mo to speak, then stepped towards the path they came from.

As Wen Ping left, Luo Qianye naturally did not want to stay. He had seen all he could see, and anything he couldn’t, the people of Extreme Realm Mountain wouldn’t show him. However, as he followed Wen Ping down the mountain, he couldn’t help but glance back.

The people of Extreme Realm Mountain hadn’t pursued him.

Were they planning to let Wen Ping descend the mountain?

Since the people of Extreme Realm Mountain hadn’t pursued him, Luo Qianye naturally quickened his pace, leading the group as he went down Extreme Realm Mountain.

Just as they descended Extreme Realm Mountain, Wen Ping asked, "Luo Sect Leader, do you know where there’s a Vortex Divine Artisan in Fengyuan City?"

Luo Qianye shook his head. Although he didn’t know why Wen Ping was asking this, he still replied, "Vortex Divine Artisan, I truly don’t know. However, a Vortex Divine Artisan is unlikely to appear in Fengyuan City; if they did, it would only be passing by."

Vortex Divine Artisan holds a distinguished status.

No small Fengyuan City, not even East Lake, could contain him.

"Then it’s truly like finding a needle in a haystack." With that, Wen Ping fell silent, his mind already somewhere far away.

Seeing Wen Ping silent, Luo Mi hurriedly interjected, "Sect Master Wen, I know."

Luo Qianye was somewhat surprised by his son’s confidence and quickly asked, "Where is the Vortex Divine Artisan?"

Luo Mi continued, "A few days ago, when I followed Fengyuan City’s Young City Lord while shopping, we encountered a very irritable old woman who was quite unreasonable. We merely glanced at her beautiful granddaughter, and she called us ruffians. My friends wanted to teach the old woman a lesson and even called Fengyuan City’s Deputy City Lord, but upon seeing her, the deputy immediately bowed in respect and repeatedly apologized. Later, I learned from the Young City Lord that the old woman was, in fact, a Vortex Divine Artisan!"

Luo Qianye seemed unable to find the point and directly reprimanded, "You’re sure you only glanced at her granddaughter?"

Luo Mi quickly explained, making a vow motion, "I really only looked once, not even a smile had time to appear. Father, no matter how I am, I wouldn’t embarrass you by having you lose face with me."

Wen Ping was quite helpless about their conversation.

He promptly asked, "Luo Mi, do you know where that old woman is now?"

"Tell me quickly."

Urged by his father’s reprimand, Luo Mi hurriedly spoke, "She and her granddaughter moved into a family’s mansion. According to Fengyuan City’s Young City Lord, the old woman seems to have a home here."

"Take me there!"

Wen Ping was immediately delighted.

Thus, Wen Ping followed Luo Mi by carriage and arrived at the place where he last saw the old woman—outside a large courtyard. A crimson plaque hung at the entrance, inscribed with four gilded characters: "Zhantai Family Residence"!

"Go knock."

Luo Qianye immediately instructed Luo Mi beside him, tidying his clothing and fixing his hair simultaneously.

Knock knock knock!

The sound of tapping on the door echoed.

Shortly after, the door creaked open, and a girl poked her head out, looking at Luo Mi with her clear eyes.

Honestly, the girl was very pure-looking with a beauty akin to a lotus, as if morning dew had washed away all stains from her body. However, while her eyes were gentle and clear a moment ago, they changed in the next instant.

"Scoundrel!"

The girl shouted at Luo Mi and attempted to close the door.

Luo Mi smiled bitterly and blocked the door with his hand, calling to Wen Ping, "Sect Master Wen, I’ve found her."

The girl glanced at Wen Ping and them, and immediately said angrily, "He looked at me first, which is why my grandmother scolded him. If you want to avenge him, then you are bad people too!"

Luo Qianye chuckled awkwardly and immediately glared at Luo Mi, saying, "Luo Mi, step back."

"Okay!"

Luo Mi quickly stepped back.

Wen Ping then stepped forward, with the Mountain Dog following closely. When the girl saw Wen Ping, her expression remained cautious, as if Wen Ping were a bad person ready to do something bad at any moment.

However, when she saw the Mountain Dog, her gaze softened.

Wen Ping knew that this girl must be an animal lover, and people who love animals generally have kind hearts. As he stepped forward, he casually checked her brief information.

Upon knowing her name, age, and realm, he believed that there was definitely a Vortex Divine Artisan here.

Four-star Talent!

years old, Body Refinement 11th realm!

Surely only a Vortex Divine Artisan could provide such excellent resources to nurture such a talented person.

Before Wen Ping could speak, Zhantian Ye asked, "Brother, is this dog yours?"

"Yes," Wen Ping nodded.

Zhantian Ye eagerly asked, "It’s so cute, what’s its name?"

"Haha."

"What a cute name."

Zhantian Ye squinted and smiled, even reaching out from behind the door, teasing the Mountain Dog with her fingers, trying to lure it over, while saying, "I want to have a dog too, but grandma won’t allow me."

Wen Ping glanced at the Mountain Dog, internally smiling helplessly.

This Mountain Dog turned out to be a lady killer!

How did he not notice it before?

Wen Ping opted to pander to her interest and said to the Mountain Dog, "Haha, show her a trick, stand up."

The Mountain Dog barked twice immediately, then stood steadily on its hind legs, walking towards Zhantai Ye.

Seeing this, Wen Ping chuckled inwardly: Little girl, you are the first to turn a Hellhound into a pet dog.

Zhantai Ye was amused, giggling non-stop.

Until footsteps echoed from inside the door, along with a cold reprimand, Zhantai Ye’s laughter abruptly stopped.

"Who’s causing a ruckus outside my house!"
