Versatile Mage: I Awakened Nine Stars

Chapter 222 Visiting Huo Ling

After leaving the Magic Association, Ding Yumian said that she wanted to go back to practice, which made Xu Shen feel overwhelmed. Does this girl know what it means to combine work and rest?

"Go somewhere else with me."

"Where?"

"The weapon refining family, the Huo family."

"Huo family?"

Xu Shen smiled mysteriously: "Let's go, we'll find out when we get there."

The Huo family's residence was only a few kilometers away from the Pearl Tower, so Xu Shen and Ding Yumian could just stroll there.

As the navigation arrived at the destination, Xu Shen couldn't help but be amazed.

In front of you is a manor covering several acres, with vast lawns, lush gardens and gorgeous Western-style castles within the fence.

This is a city where every inch of land is worth a lot of money. The life of rich people is really unimaginable.

He was about to go in, but unexpectedly some twists and turns occurred at the door.

The Huo family's security guards were very principled. No matter how hard Xu Shen tried to persuade them, they just wouldn't let him in, showing that they were unyielding.

Xu Shen felt a little embarrassed. It would be fine if the security guard was a person who looked down on others, but the point was that he was not. He was neither humble nor arrogant, and had solid reasons and evidence, not giving the security guard any chance to show off and embarrass himself!

"He is Xu Shen on the yellow list," Ding Yumian stepped forward to help out with a smile.

"Yellow list? The one voted by the Magic Association?" The security guard was a little shocked.

Ding Yumian nodded slightly.

The security guard was very efficient. After making a phone call, he apologized politely and let us go.

"If I had known the Yellow List was so useful, I would have just mentioned it directly. After talking to him for so long, he still didn't know who Huo Ling was."

Xu Shen complained in frustration. He wanted to keep a low profile, but reality did not allow it.

Ding Yumian smiled and said, "The threshold for entering aristocratic families is already high. You don't have a visiting card, and you don't have an appointment. If you don't have an impressive status, you will run into obstacles wherever you go."

"I didn't expect that when I mentioned the name of Mingzhu Academy, people would think I was looking for a part-time job. These are aristocratic families."

Xu Shen felt a little emotional as he looked at the butler who came to greet him personally.

The more you see the world, the more you can feel the clear class boundaries in this world.

"Please come in, Master Xu," the butler did not dare to neglect him and sent him to the living room with a smile.

"Please sit down for a moment. I will go and invite Master Huo."

The butler asked someone to serve tea and then left. After a while, a middle-aged man walked in.

His name is Huo Zhenghao. From his self-introduction, he should be the third son of the Huo family, in charge of foreign business.

"I want to ask, Huo Ling... uh, should I say grandma, is she not here?"

Huo Zhenghao's face changed: "Who told you that?"

Xu Shen said nothing more and showed the Cangming Armor: "Of course it's the Forbidden Spell Society. She helped me forge this armor."

Huo Zhenghao frowned: "Are you really Xu Shen?"

"Could this be fake?" Xu Shen didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Don't blame me, my friend. There are rumors in the world that you..." Huo Zhenghao apologized, "Please follow me to the back hall to see my grandmother."

Xu Shen couldn't help but complain: "It's really hard for you noble families to find someone."

"With more family members, the rules will naturally become more complicated," Huo Zhenghao explained with a smile.

After a while, Xu Shen finally saw Huo Ling again.

Compared to the time they met in Tianshan, she now looked like an ordinary person, completely different from the image of a flaming "soldier".

What's even stranger is that her hair is gray and her face has wrinkles, making her look no different from a little old lady.

Xu Shen was somewhat confused, but he did not say it out loud.

"Okay, Zhenghao, you can go out now."

After sending Huo Zhenghao away, Huo Ling said with emotion, "My dear friend, it's been more than a year since we parted at Tianshan. People in the world have been saying that you're dead. I thought you didn't look like a short-lived person, and sure enough, you've come out alive and kicking. Why don't you introduce this person next to you?"

"She is still alive thanks to the Cangming Armor you forged yourself." Xu Shen smiled and said, "She is Ding Yumian, my wife."

"Wife?" Huo Ling looked at Ding Yumian meaningfully.

The person I saw in Tianshan last time was not this person.

But after all, it was someone else's private matter, so she couldn't say too much.

"Huo... Grandma," Xu Shen opened his mouth and asked, "Why are you like this?"

Huo Ling sighed, and suddenly tore off a human skin mask, and suddenly a pretty and youthful girl appeared in the same place.

Ding Yumian's pupils shrank. Obviously, the scene of the old woman turning into a young girl was too shocking.

"I am already ninety-six years old. If I go out like this, it will scare people to death. I have no choice but to disguise myself."

"I see. As long as there's nothing wrong with your body, it's fine." Xu Shen let out a long sigh of relief. "I almost thought there was something wrong with the soul sacrifice technique I gave you."

Huo Ling smiled and said, "Not only is there nothing wrong with your weapon refining skills, it has also helped me a lot. Tell me, what do you want from me this time?"

Xu Shen took out a dragon scale: "Huo..."

He swallowed, but he couldn't say "Grandma" no matter what.

"Just call me Huo Ling."

Huo Ling took the half-human-high scale with a smile, and then looked at it with a serious expression: "Is this a real dragon scale?"

"As expected of a master weapon refiner, you have a good eye." Xu Shen gave him a thumbs up.

"Where did you get this?" Huo Ling's eyes were burning, but before Xu Shen could answer, she smiled and said, "Forget it, I won't ask. I was so excited to see the prey that I was a little presumptuous."

"I still have some dragon scales like this. Can you help me forge a few sets of shield armor?"

Huo Ling pondered and said, "If it's just this one piece, it's enough to make a high-quality soul-level shield magic tool, but several sets may not be enough."

"That's not a big problem. I still have a few dragon scales like this. It should be enough."

"Okay, in that case, I'll take this business," Huo Ling said with a smile, "But it might not be enough to just rely on dragon scales to forge armor magic tools."

"I also have some supreme monarch-level Teng Snake skins."

"Good boy!"

This boy is truly a treasure trove. Even the knowledgeable Huo Ling couldn't help but marvel at him.

"I almost forgot. I also have a pair of Soaring Snake Wings and a pair of Bloodline Wings. Both are monarch-level. Can I get two sets of wing magic tools?"

"Well, I'll be busy for the next year," Huo Ling said jokingly, "If I had known it would be so hard to repay a favor, I shouldn't have accepted your weapon refining skills when I was in Tianchi."

"No, I'm not planning on getting it for free," Xu Shen said, "To be honest, I got a Teng Snake corpse of the Supreme Monarch level. Once you use up the remaining materials, just treat it as my payment this time."

"No need. I'm already this old. If I think about your little benefit, I'll be laughed at." Huo Ling thought for a while and said, "A soaring snake of the supreme monarch, plus these dragon scales, if it is made into a soul-level armor magic tool, it will obviously be a waste of natural resources. However, you can't equip a heaven-level magic tool..."

"Ahem, I still have some nanocrystals."

"You kid raided the lair of a supreme monarch??!"

Huo Ling was dumbfounded.

Xu Shen smiled but said nothing.

If you count it all, it's more than just the monarch, they've raided the emperor's lair.

Huo Ling thought for a moment and said, "If it is a complete Teng Snake corpse, it can probably make three sets of growth armor magic tools. Are there any specific requirements?"

"There is a set for her. Ask him for the specific requirements," Xu Shen pointed at Ding Yumian.

"As for the other two sets..."

Xu Shen thought about it, and the images of the twin sisters appeared in his mind again.

To be honest, his feelings towards the two sisters were particularly complicated, especially Liu Xian. There was a thorn in his heart, and he would rather never have any contact with them.

But fate plays tricks on us…

If they hadn't been implicated by him, the two sisters wouldn't have had to survive the dangerous situation in Dongting Lake.

"Let's make the other two sets for women as well. It would be best if they look the same."

Xu Shen sighed softly, that’s all, just the last time!

"Women's clothing? Two sets? They look the same?"

Ding Yumian, who had been silent for a long time, spoke with key words as soon as he opened his mouth.

Her expression was calm and she showed no emotion.

"Uh..." Xu Shen felt his scalp tingling.

At this moment, Huo Ling also came to watch the fun, and her eyes looked back and forth between Xu Shen and Ding Yumian meaningfully.

The Cangming and Feixue that the Forbidden Spell Society had previously commissioned her to create were couple models.

Now, add these three sets.

"Oh~"
