Demon Dragon Mad God-Chapter 978 - 689:

"There’s no need to stand on ceremony, Elder Yu, please have a seat!" The City Lord Bai quickly stood up, offering his hands to support the elder.

Evidently, this elder held an extraordinary status in the City Lord Mansion, so much so that even the City Lord dared not put on airs in front of him.

"Thank you, City Lord!" The elder expressed his gratitude and sat down opposite Lin Feng.

"Elder Yu, I’ve invited you today to inquire about artifact refining materials." City Lord Bai smiled.

"Please, City Lord, go ahead!" said Elder Yu.

City Lord Bai looked at Lin Feng and said, "Lin Feng, regarding the artifact refining materials, feel free to ask Elder Yu!"

Lin Feng nodded and then clasped his fists towards Elder Yu, speaking in a deep voice, "Senior, I’d like to inquire about the Blood Pattern Seed!"

"Blood Pattern Seed?"

Upon hearing this, Elder Yu’s eyes flashed with a sharp light and he said, "You’re looking for the Blood Pattern Seed?"

"Indeed!"

Lin Feng nodded, speaking in a deep voice, "If Senior has any information about the Blood Pattern Seed, I will surely reward you handsomely!"

Elder Yu appeared contemplative; he was indifferent to handsome rewards, having devoted his life to studying artifact refining techniques and having little interest in treasures coveted by martial artists.

Lin Feng saw the elder’s silence and felt joy instead of anger; such an expression clearly indicated that the elder knew about the Blood Pattern Seed.

After a brief pause, Elder Yu said, "The Blood Pattern Seed is an extremely rare artifact refining material. Looking throughout the entire Divine Martial Kingdom, it’s only possessed by the Imperial Palace!"

"The Imperial Palace!" Upon hearing this, Lin Feng’s heart trembled, and his eyes narrowed.

If the Imperial Palace had it, then he might have to make a trip there!

"Senior, are you certain the Imperial Palace has the Blood Pattern Seed?" Lin Feng asked in a deep voice.

"I am fairly certain. A year ago, the palace intended to forge a rare artifact, requiring the combined efforts of many king-level artifact refiners across the Divine Martial Kingdom. I had the privilege to participate and saw it in the palace!" Elder Yu nodded.

Lin Feng exhaled lightly; as long as there was a clue, it was manageable, and he wouldn’t have to search aimlessly any longer.

Although obtaining the Blood Pattern Seed from the palace might be difficult, there would always be a way.

"Thank you very much for the information, Senior!"

Lin Feng immediately stood up, sincerely thanking Elder Yu. He had indeed been a great help.

"No need for gratitude!"

Elder Yu waved his hand dismissively and said, "It’s not really a big secret."

With that, Elder Yu stood up, cupping his fists towards City Lord Bai and Lin Feng, he said, "City Lord, young friend, if there’s nothing else, I shall take my leave now!"

"Please wait, Senior!" Lin Feng hurriedly spoke to stop him; he had promised a handsome reward and couldn’t go back on his word.

With that, Lin Feng immediately took out a jade scroll from his storage ring.

This jade scroll originally contained a king-level cultivation technique. Lin Feng erased it all with his mind and imprinted a large amount of information.

"Senior, this is my token of gratitude. I hope it pleases you!" Lin Feng handed the imprinted jade scroll to Elder Yu.

Seeing this, Elder Yu shook his head helplessly; he had never intended to accept any reward from Lin Feng.

However, since Lin Feng had already offered it, he couldn’t refuse it.

"Then I shall accept with a smile!" Elder Yu smiled, took the jade scroll from Lin Feng, and stored it in his storage ring.

Seeing this, Lin Feng gave a wry smile; it seemed the elder didn’t take his gift seriously, and might not even check it in the future!

"Senior, please have a look at it!" Lin Feng gently reminded with a smile.

"This...!"

Elder Yu was speechless; he had already accepted the gift, and yet Lin Feng wanted him to check it on the spot!

Since when does one ask others to check a gift immediately after giving it; in Elder Yu’s heart, his goodwill towards Lin Feng immediately vanished.

But as Lin Feng was a guest of the City Lord, Elder Yu couldn’t embarrass him outright, so he had to take out the jade scroll and check it with his mind.

However, when Elder Yu’s mind entered the jade scroll and saw its content, his body shook, and his aged eyes instantly widened.

Then, as if petrified, Elder Yu held the jade scroll completely still.

"This...!" City Lord Bai, seeing this, was instantly filled with amazement and doubt, what exactly did Lin Feng give Elder Yu that could make the usually indifferent Elder Yu lose his composure like this?

Seeing that Elder Yu did not react for a long time, City Lord Bai grew increasingly curious and couldn’t help but stand up.

As time slowly passed, a full cup of tea time went by, yet Elder Yu still showed no reaction, as though completely petrified.

At this point, City Lord Bai was unbearably anxious. He turned to Lin Feng and asked in surprise, "Lin Feng, what sort of gift did you give Elder Yu?"

City Lord Bai’s face was full of curiosity. He knew Elder Yu very well; Elder Yu usually had no desires or cravings and showed no interest in martial arts or treasures!

His lifetime obsession was with artifact refining, only matters related to it could intrigue Elder Yu.

Could it be that Lin Feng’s gift to Elder Yu was an artifact refining formula?

City Lord Bai speculated secretly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng chuckled, "I merely passed on some artifact refining techniques to Elder Yu!"

"What? Bestow?"

City Lord Bai was shocked, revealing an expression of utter disbelief.

Lin Feng actually said ’bestow’?

To bestow artifact refining techniques to Elder Yu?

"You are also an artifact refiner?" City Lord Bai asked, stunned.

"Yes, I have dabbled!" Lin Feng nodded.

Upon hearing this, City Lord Bai’s mouth twitched uncontrollably.

Dabbled?

To bestow artifact refining techniques to Elder Yu, leaving him so enraptured, can this still be called dabbling?

This technique surpasses Elder Yu by far!

Elder Yu is a middle-grade king-level artifact refiner, and Lin Feng’s artifact refining technique surpasses Elder Yu’s, then at the very least, he must be an upper-grade king-level artifact refiner!
