Chen Nan's heart stirred!
If Jing Tiancheng could help find a clue about the Divine Fire!
That would be for the best!
Gong Jian looked over and asked, "Who is your maternal grandfather?"
"His face is worth ten million contribution points?"
The other five were also incredulous!
The value of the Divine Fire was the most expensive in the entire Sword Forging Academy!
Who knew how many people wanted that clue!
But the price was too high!
After all, the Sword Forging Academy had also had clues about other Divine Fires.
And their value was only a little over a hundred thousand contribution points!
Therefore!
This clue to the Divine Fire had existed for tens of thousands of years, yet no one had ever been able to grasp it!
Xia Youwei said, "My maternal grandfather is Jing Tiancheng!"
She had never told anyone about her grandfather's identity before!
It was precisely because she was afraid of her life being disturbed!
If others knew that her maternal grandfather was Jing Tiancheng, they would definitely come to her for help every other day!
After all!
Many artifact refiners were troubled by their inability to find powerful formation masters.
But with her connection!
It would be different!
However!
These people in the kitchen were not a problem.
Let alone the fact that they had no ambitions.
Even if they really begged her for help, she wouldn't refuse!
"So that's how it is!"
The few of them were somewhat surprised by the fact that Xia Youwei was Jing Tiancheng's granddaughter!
But they were not overly shocked.
After all, many people knew that Xia Youwei was well-connected.
They just didn't know how strong her background was.
However!
In their opinion, even if Xia Youwei's maternal grandfather was Jing Tiancheng, she might not be able to get this clue!
Of course!
They couldn't say such things.
They couldn't dampen Xia Youwei's good intentions.
After the meal!
Xia Youwei left the Sword Forging Academy and went to the Formation Master Academy to tell Jing Tiancheng about the Divine Fire.
"Grandpa, Junior Brother Chen healed my ill-fated body, and we haven't repaid his kindness yet. You must find a clue to the Divine Fire!"
"Otherwise, I don't know how to interact with him!"
"I always feel like I owe him too much!"
Jing Tiancheng said with a smile, "Since you've asked, Grandpa will definitely find a clue to that Divine Fire!"
Speaking of which!
He took out a communication jade token: "Brother Dai, I'm hosting a banquet at the Langya Pavilion, would you do me the honor?"
"Alright, I'll be there right away!"
Jing Tiancheng put away the communication jade token and then looked at Xia Youwei, "Do you want to come along?"
Xia Youwei had a look of disgust: "You two old men are eating, why would I tag along and make a fool of myself?"
"Then you can just wait for good news!" Jing Tiancheng laughed heartily!
In fact, even without Xia Youwei's connection, he would have spared no effort to help Chen Nan get the clue to the Divine Fire.
After all!
This was his senior brother!
In the Langya Pavilion!
Dai Yuan pushed open the door and said with a smile, "The sun is really rising from the west. Why are you inviting me to a meal today, Brother Jing?"
Jing Tiancheng smiled, "Just catching up!"
Dai Yuan sat down casually, his smile unchanged, "I guessed it was a private meal. If it were official business, you would have gone to my reception room!"
Jing Tiancheng almost cursed!
He knew!
Dai Yuan must have guessed his intention!
Otherwise, he wouldn't have used those words to shut him up.
The atmosphere!
Suddenly became awkward.
He really wanted to get straight to the point!
But he didn't know how to open his mouth!
After all, he didn't interact with Dai Yuan much on a daily basis.
Moreover, their relationship was not very good.
"Alright, alright, let's get straight to the point!" Dai Yuan shook his head helplessly, "Is it about Chen Nan?"
"Yes!" Jing Tiancheng no longer hid anything. "I heard that your Sword Forging Academy has a clue to the Divine Fire, right?"
Dai Yuan hummed, "That clue comes from an ancient ruin, the Number Seven Ruin within our Yan Country! If I remember correctly, you were instrumental in exploring that ruin back then!"
Jing Tiancheng's expression changed slightly!
Five thousand years ago!
He had followed members of the royal family to explore the Number Seven Ruin!
It was he who had unlocked the formation within the ruin!
And he knew the terrifying nature of that ruin!
After regaining his senses, Jing Tiancheng said, "Are there really Divine Fires in there?"
Dai Yuan's expression also became much more serious. "Yes!"
"And they are of a very high grade!"
"I once brushed past a Divine Fire, and nearly had my soul scattered!"
Jing Tiancheng: "Can you tell me the specific location of the Divine Fire?"
Dai Yuan smiled dismissively, "Chen Nan is your senior brother. Are you trying to help him or harm him?"
"Do you think Chen Nan, with his current strength, can control that Divine Fire?"
Jing Tiancheng also smiled, "Do you think he is an ordinary person?"
Dai Yuan was stunned!
It seemed!
He still knew too little about Chen Nan!
Only!
That guy, besides his strong artifact refining talent!
And his high achievements in formations!
Were there any other outstanding qualities?
Jing Tiancheng said, "Just tell me, can you reveal this clue or not!"
Dai Yuan retorted, "Can you give me that formation flag from your Formation Master Academy?"
Jing Tiancheng shook his head, "I can lend it to you, but I can't give it to you!"
Dai Yuan smiled, "It's the same for me. The information can be discounted, but it can't be given to you!"
"Name a price!" Jing Tiancheng sighed softly!
Although they were the top figures of the Formation Master Academy and the Sword Forging Academy!
They were also not entirely free agents.
He could understand the other party on this point!
Dai Yuan thought for a moment. "Let's say eighty percent!"
"Shut up!" Jing Tiancheng was furious. "Even at eighty percent, it's still eight million contribution points!"
"Let's not talk about others, let's talk about you!"
"Can you earn eight million contribution points in your lifetime?"
Dai Yuan's mouth twitched, and he said unhappily, "The price of the Divine Fire was set by the Yan Emperor. Eighty percent is the maximum authority I have!"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Jing Tiancheng said impatiently. "I'll name a price, ten percent!"
Dai Yuan smiled and shook his head. "I have no authority over this matter. You should go find the Yan Emperor!"
"If he agrees, then ten percent it is!"
As he spoke, he picked up his chopsticks and started eating!
The table full of delicacies in front of him could not be wasted!
"Then I'll go find the Yan Emperor right now!" Jing Tiancheng got up and left, saying to the waiter at the door, "He'll pay the bill!"
Dai Yuan was furious. "Go to hell!"
------
Sword Forging Academy!
Back mountain!
Chen Nan sat cross-legged.
These days, he had been so focused on refining artifacts that he had neglected his cultivation.
Although his realm could never be raised to a higher level!
But taking spiritual medicine could still improve his strength!
In fact, refining artifacts was like learning a skill for him, like a side hustle!
However!
This time, he found it difficult to enter a meditative state.
Because he didn't know if Jing Tiancheng could help him get the clue to the Divine Fire.
Just as he was worrying!
A beautiful figure appeared in his sight.
A red, belted long dress outlined her well-proportioned figure.
Her delicate features were adorned with light makeup.
Charming but not gaudy, like a blooming rose!
"Greetings, Senior Sister Nie Yao!" Chen Nan didn't know why Nie Yao was here, but he still stood up and saluted!
Nie Yao hesitated for a moment, a determined glint flashing in her eyes. "Take off your pants!"
Chen Nan looked dumbfounded. "Me? Take off my pants? Why?"
