Chapter 897: Chapter 894: Accidentally Showed Off
After arriving in Yanzhou, Yuan Kui had a Taoist disciple lead the people from the Three Great Sects to collectively arrange a large villa for them, which could fully accommodate all members of the Three Great Sects to live in simultaneously.
He then headed to the Imperial Palace, as he was the envoy from Qingzhou, and it was proper for him to meet the Emperor of the Yanzhou Imperial Family.

"Master, these are the Magic Artifacts I’ve crafted during this period. Please accept them!" Xu Wendong found Xu Canghai and handed him a Storage Bag containing twenty Magic Artifacts.
"Did you really craft Magic Artifacts?" Xu Canghai was stunned. He knew Xu Wendong wanted to learn Artifact Refining, but...
But...
He truly didn’t expect this guy to craft Magic Artifacts in such a short time.
When his Soul Force entered the Storage Bag, he couldn’t help but gasp.
He thought Xu Wendong had only refined one or two Magic Artifacts.
Who would have thought there were actually twenty Magic Artifacts in the Storage Bag?
Even upon seeing it with his own eyes, he found it hard to believe.
Xu Wendong said, "This time was rushed, so I only managed to craft one hundred and nineteen Magic Artifacts. I brought back forty, with Sword Pavilion and the Elixir Sect receiving twenty each."
"The rest are left at the Jade Maiden Palace, as they need Magic Artifacts more than we do!"
"This..." Xu Canghai’s heart surged with a tidal wave. This guy stayed at Jade Maiden Palace for just over two months.
Crafting one hundred and nineteen Magic Artifacts in just over two months—who would believe such a thing?
At this moment.
He finally understood why the Lingxiao Sword recognized Xu Wendong as its master.
This guy has exceptional talent, astonishing, whether in Alchemy or Artifact Refining. He really is a so-called chosen one!
After bidding farewell to Xu Canghai, Xu Wendong found Xia Hou and gave him another twenty Magic Artifacts.
Xia Hou’s reaction was just as shocked as Xu Canghai’s. He never expected Xu Wendong to be so incredible. After all, looking across the entire Nine Provinces, no one can currently craft Magic Artifacts.
Yet he not only succeeded but crafted a large number of Magic Artifacts in a short period.
After the shock, Xia Hou immediately took out two Magic Artifacts and gave them to Lu Chenfeng and Bai Jie.
Because they didn’t have Magic Artifacts, having them could enhance their combat power and help them achieve excellent results in the Nine Provinces Elite Competition.
Previously, Lu Chenfeng was quite unsatisfied with Xu Wendong.
But now.
He was completely convinced.
Bai Jie’s eyes towards Xu Wendong were full of tenderness. This man is really outstanding; becoming his woman would indeed be a blessing!
"Junior Sister Bai Jie, are you there?"
At that moment.
A loud voice suddenly came from outside.
Xia Hou immediately put away the Magic Artifacts and led Xu Wendong and the others to the courtyard, where they saw a young man wearing a beast-skin robe. He was burly, with a tiger’s back and a bear’s waist.
His entire body exuded an aura of strength.
"Wan Jie greets Headmaster Xia." The young man named Wan Jie bowed instantly and with a smile said, "I heard the Elixir Sect triumphed in the Qingzhou competition and took the crown. It’s truly a cause for celebration! It will be great to see you in the Nine Provinces Elite Competition!"
A faint smile appeared on Xia Hou’s face: "How has your master been recently?"
The Elixir Sect’s strength is quite ordinary.
They never participated in the Nine Provinces Elite Competition.
But.
Given that the Elixir Sect mainly focuses on crafting Elixirs and has good relations with many cultivation forces in the Nine Provinces, like the Myriad Beast Sect.
Wan Jie replied politely, "Master is doing well, Senior Xia. He went into the city to visit some friends and will come by later to catch up with you."
Xia Hou nodded, then said, "I also need to visit some old friends. You youngsters have your chat!" With that, he put one hand behind his back and walked out.
"Senior Brother Wan, let me introduce you." Bai Jie naturally took Xu Wendong’s arm: "This is Xu Wendong, my Daoist couple!"
"Junior Brother Xu, this is Senior Brother Wan Jie from the Myriad Beast Sect. He is skilled in Beast Control Arts!"
Xu Wendong politely greeted, "Hello, Senior Brother Wan."
Wan Jie’s mouth twitched heavily, feeling very unhappy. He thought meeting Bai Jie here could unleash a strong pursuit.
However.
He did not expect that Bai Jie already had a Daoist couple.
Taking a deep breath, he forced a smile and said, "I’ve heard about Qingzhou’s Xu Wendong for a while, and today I see it’s true—Junior Brother Xu is truly a remarkable talent!"
Xu Wendong modestly said, "It’s nothing, really."
Coldness flickered in Wan Jie’s eyes: "How about a match?"
Seeing this.
Lu Chenfeng almost laughed out loud.
Although he knew Wan Jie’s strength was formidable.
There is no comparison in front of Xu Wendong, and challenging him is self-inflicted humiliation!
However, he said nothing, not only because he didn’t have a bad relationship with Wan Jie, but in fact, they had a good friendship.
The reason he said nothing was to let Wan Jie experience the same embarrassment he went through!
A good brother should share in hardships!
Hehe!
Xu Wendong quickly said, "No need to compete, Senior Brother Wan wins!"
Wan Jie was stunned: "Are you chickening out?"
Xu Wendong replied mildly, "We aren’t strangers, why make such distinctions?"
For a moment, Wan Jie was at a loss.
He had never encountered someone who didn’t care about winning or losing.
After all, in this world where strength is respected, the victor usually earns respect from others.
While the loser is ridiculed.
Before he could react, Xu Wendong took out a Storage Bag and politely said, "Senior Brother Wan, this is a Qi Replenishing Pill I refined. Consider it a gift. Please, do accept it!"
As the saying goes, one does not hit a smiling face. Not to mention Xu Wendong was so generous, which dispelled any resentment Wan Jie had.
Facing someone like this, who could harbor any dissatisfaction with him?
He kept the Storage Bag, expressed his thanks, and then said, "Well, either we compete today or I treat you Three Great Sects to a meal outside?"
The Myriad Beast Sect is located in Yongzhou, bordering Qingzhou, and he also knows the disciples of the other Three Great Sects quite well.
Xu Wendong said, "We can’t let you spend, Senior Brother Wan. Today, it’ll be on me!"
"Alright," Wan Jie readily agreed.
Xu Wendong immediately sent messages to the Sword Pavilion and Jade Maiden Palace disciples.
Moments later.
Meng Hao brought two junior brothers, and Zhongli came with Zhu Qing and Jian You.
Seeing Zhongli, Zhu Qing, and Jian You, Wan Jie’s eyes immediately lit up; the beauty of these three women was on par with Bai Jie.
Even though Bai Jie had Xu Wendong and couldn’t be his Daoist couple, he could still socialize with these three junior sisters!
Without further thought, he opened his right hand, revealing three White Jade Bracelets in his palm, which emitted a faint glow, clearly no ordinary items.
He smiled and said, "It’s been a long time since I last saw you three junior sisters, and I didn’t expect you all to become more beautiful. Let these three Beast Control Circlets be my gift to you. I hope you won’t mind."
Zhongli and the three others looked at Xu Wendong for his opinion, seemingly seeking his advice, as the items were quite valuable.
Xu Wendong cleared his throat and said, "Since Senior Brother Wan has gifted you something, accept it!"
"Thank you, Senior Brother Wan," Zhongli and the other two each expressed their gratitude.
Wan Jie looked dumbfounded at Xu Wendong: "Why do these three junior sisters listen to you?"
Xu Wendong showed a shy smile: "Because they are all my Daoist couples!"
