"What do you hope he will do in the Night Wolf Emperor’s tomb? You’re not unfamiliar with Miss Rufeng’s temper." Steward He sighed lightly, "Perhaps this time if he follows Miss Rufeng to the Night Wolf Emperor’s tomb, he might not return."

"Whether it’s a real dragon or not, we’ll see at the Night Wolf Emperor’s tomb this time."

Madam Yan’s eyes turned to the north and said, "This time at the genius gathering in the Northern Wastelands, all major families have sent out their top genius children. If Ding Fan can benefit from these people, it will prove he is a true dragon. A real dragon is destined to move forward and is worth the Herr family’s association. If he is not a true dragon, then let him associate with the Great Night Wolf Emperor."

"I understand, ma’am."

Steward He nodded, deeply impressed by Ding Fan’s performance at the auction tonight. However, Master Yan still wanted to test Ding Fan further, and this tomb of the Night Emperor was the best training ground.

If Ding Fan can pass this test, he can gain Madam Yan’s friendship.

If not! Then it’s death!

Upon returning to the inn in Daozhen City, Mu Gaosou and Wu Ren had already returned. Ding Fan did not explain much to Elder Wu Ren, only saying he went to the Daozhen Family and resolved the trouble with the Herr Family. Elder Wu Ren didn’t dare ask much, just watched Ding Fan return to his room. He couldn’t fathom Ding Fan at all now.

A young man once unvalued by the Great Elder had now become a strong support for the entire Skeleton Sect, including the Wu Family, becoming a powerful backing for the Skeleton Sect. Now, Ding Fan was a mystery, daring to challenge the first family of Tianmu Sea’s young lady at the auction and easily resolving the enmity with the Herr Family, coming and going at Daozhen Villa as he pleased.

Once a guest of the Wu Family, the acting leader of the Skeleton Sect, now the entire Wu Family and Skeleton Sect relied on him for survival. For this, Elder Wu Ren felt no dissatisfaction; instead, he hoped Ding Fan would grow quickly. This young man was now the hope for the revitalization of the Skeleton Sect, and Elder Wu Ren believed in this.

After Ding Fan returned to his room, he did not cultivate but sat blankly, trying to clear his mind. After a while, he found himself increasingly confused; the current situation left him dizzy.

After half an hour, Ding Fan left to wash his face, deciding not to dwell on it. The rest was unimportant as long as he was alive.

The past affairs of the super families Ye Family and Meng Family no longer concerned him, even if there was a terrifying conspiracy.

He also didn’t care what Madam Yan thought of him. All he did was make himself stronger.

He took out the transparent jade bottle; his True Yuan Power enveloped the bottle, and the drop of primordial blood essence began to move, a powerful aura filling the room.

The blood in Ding Fan’s body instantly surged, green light flashing in his eyes, the light of the Sirius Tattoo shining from his back, his body and soul trembling.

"The power of this blood is truly terrifying..."

Ding Fan muttered to himself, unable to resist the urge to absorb and refine the blood immediately. He put away the True Yuan, and the agitated blood in the jade bottle calmed, his body also regaining peace.

He stared at the jade bottle for a while, countless thoughts flashing through his mind.

This blood undoubtedly had great use for him, yet he dared not refine it. What if the blood was poisonous? What if the blood was overpowering, causing his body to explode and die? What if it was Fire Blood, and he was burned alive?

"I’ll think about it later, see if I can find a way to refine the essence and blood."

Ding Fan put the drop of blood into the space ring, closed his eyes, and began to meditate. Since he promised Madam Yan to go to the Night Wolf Emperor’s Mausoleum in a month, he had to go as they suggested. He also longed to enter such a treasure land, to gain the Night Wolf Emperor’s heritage, at least to obtain some treasure.

This time entering the tomb to seek treasure, all the geniuses and villains of the Northern Wastelands must come out. How many strong people will gather? Ding Fan didn’t know; he only knew it was very dangerous. Carelessness could make the Night Wolf Emperor’s tomb become his grave.

All the genius and bad guys from the major families are coming out, including the Zhong Family as a Fifth Grade force. The Zhong Family hates him deeply; if they know he entered, needless to say, they will have their genius youths put him to death.

Herr Rufeng of the Divine Realm Third Stage Intermediate, with Seventh Grade warrior heritage, surely many geniuses like her!

The elite geniuses entering the Night Wolf Emperor’s mausoleum this time are estimated to be many, and Divine Realm Third Level masters certainly not few. He, Ding Fan, is nothing but a small figure in the Divine Realm Second Level Peak State, and others wanting him dead would be as simple as crushing an ant. The immediate priority is to find a way to become more powerful because otherwise, rashly entering the mausoleum means certain death.

It seems the simplest way to become stronger right now is to find a suitable weapon.

In this other world, Ding Fan’s Heaven Measuring Ruler was destroyed by the idiot from the Meng Family’s former super family, leaving him without a suitable weapon, significantly reducing his combat strength!

Additionally, for Ding Fan now, martial skills have become very important. For experts of the same realm, having power probably means overcoming many skills, as opponents often lack high-level martial skills. If facing experts, with his current realm, it would be tragic.

Therefore, he must find a way to get one or two strong martial skills. With martial skills in hand, combat power will increase effectively.

As for advancing in realm, that’s something Ding Fan can’t consider now. He is currently at Divine Realm Second Level Peak State, and without the Ye Family’s Amplification Pill, it’s impossible to break through into Divine Realm Third Level in less than ten years. Even if he has the Amplification Pill now, it will take at least two to three months.

Even if he enters the Elementary Stage of Divine Realm Third Level, it’s impossible to surpass geniuses like Herr Rufeng in a short time.

That drop of Primordial Industry Essence Blood might make him stronger, but Ding Fan isn’t sure of its attributes, so he dares not use it recklessly. It’s like a double-edged Treasured Sword; one mistake might cost him his life.

Ding Fan made up his mind and took out a Ye Family’s Amplification Pill from his Space Ring, swallowing it to continue his cultivation.

As dawn broke, Ding Fan didn’t hurry to take Mu Gaosou and Elder Wu Ren back. Instead, he went to the Lin Family Weapons Shop on Daozhen Island. This Lin Family Shop, along with Tianyuan Auction Venue and Heritage Temple, are foreign powers in the Tianmu Sea, having branches for all Fourth Level forces. Naturally, Daozhen Island in Tianmu Sea should have one too.

A steward surnamed Liu greeted Ding Fan. After a casual lap around the hall, looking at the weapons, Ding Fan asked Steward Liu to take him to another side hall.

"I once bought a Heaven Measuring Ruler from your Moon Mist Island branch, but later it was destroyed. Do you have similar weapons here?"

Without any fuss, Ding Fan repeated his request. After listening, Steward Liu asked Ding Fan to wait a moment while he checked the archives at the counter.

A while later, Steward Liu returned to Ding Fan and said, "We do have a weapon similar to what you’re looking for. It’s a heavy blade. Bring it here!"

Two strongmen carried a heavy blade in. The material was similar to the Heaven Measuring Ruler; the entire blade was jet-black, radiating cold light and possessing an extraordinary aura, as an excellent weapon.

Ding Fan lifted and felt that the Ironback Cleaver was lighter than the Heaven Measuring Ruler. Yet, it weighed over ten thousand pounds. While trying a few moves, it felt uncomfortable, as he originally used a Sword. After discovering the power at Great Python Mountain, he switched to an axe. At the Skeleton Island battle, he switched to the Heaven Measuring Ruler again. With all the changes, he’s now unsure what to use.

"Steward Liu, can you custom-make weapons? I’d like you to custom-make a weapon like the Heaven Measuring Ruler. Regarding the price... that’s negotiable."

After some thought, Ding Fan still felt that the Heaven Measuring Ruler was most handy, so he expressed this to Steward Liu.

"Of course we can, although customization takes time." Steward Liu replied to Ding Fan, calculating quickly and said, "That Heaven Measuring Ruler is a Divine Realm Second Level Third Stage weapon. For a custom piece, it would take at least a month to complete."

"A month?"

Ding Fan thought the time was still reasonable. Yet, hearing the implication that better weapons could be made, he asked Steward Liu, "Steward Liu, can you craft higher-grade weapons here?"

Upon Ding Fan’s question, Steward Liu proudly replied, "As long as you have Black Obsidian, forget Second Level Third Stage weapons; we can even make Ninth Level Third Stage. I’m not bluffing; most of the top-ranked strongmen in the Northern Wastelands War God Ranking use weapons made by our Lin Family Shop."

"Really remarkable!"

Ding Fan expressed admiration, which was unavoidable, as he inquired further with Steward Liu, "If one wanted to custom-make a Ninth Level Third Stage weapon, what would the price be?"

Infused with pride, Steward Liu explained to Ding Fan, "Even the most basic Ninth Level First Stage weapon requires about three million Black Obsidian. Of course, for additional conditions, or as the customer mentioned, then the price is negotiable."

"Whoa~ that’s unaffordable!"

Ding Fan immediately dismissed the thought jokingly. Holding just seventy thousand Black Obsidian, with the Limitless Fruit still detained at the Tianyuan Auction Venue, he switched to weapons of Divine Realm Third Level.

After some bargaining, Ding Fan spent twenty-five thousand to custom-make a Divine Realm Third Level Third Stage weapon, which resembled the Heaven Measuring Ruler. However, its weight doubled to nearly forty thousand pounds, embedded with talisman enhancing speed and power.

It wasn’t originally this pricey, but Ding Fan required it urgently, causing the price to more than double. To Ding Fan, twenty-five thousand Black Obsidian was negligible. Although the full payment is due upon pickup, Ding Fan directly paid the Lin Family Shop, just awaiting collection.

"Power~"

Walking out of the Lin Family Shop, Ding Fan reminisced about past battles on Tie Family Island, where temporary power-enhancing pills were vital for defeating the Tie Family’s Great Elder. Now, he considered purchasing similar pills.

Concerned about continuous pill use, Ding Fan discussed with Mu Gaosou. Following Mu Gaosou’s advice, he refrained from purchasing those temporary power-enhancing pills.

The human body is quite mysterious. Except for non-human entities, it’s best not to disrupt internal balance. Such acts are harmful to the body, especially forcibly enhancing power through pills, the damage of which is immeasurable.

"Let’s head to Daozhen Trade Firm!"

Turning to Daozhen Trade Firm, Ding Fan intended to find Steward He, seeking high-grade weapons. As Master Yan tasked him with a rather risky mission potentially costing his life, asking for benefits upfront seemed reasonable.
