Chapter 53 - Molten Iron

A normal person would not burn such equipment.

Just as the thought occurred to Wei Ying, Wu Mo patted the dust off his boots and threw them into the cauldron without hesitation.

“No!”

Wei Ying did not have time to stop him. His muscles twitched, and he roared without a care for his image. After seeing his boots being swallowed by the flames, anger rose in his heart, and he almost bit his teeth to pieces.

Seeing this, the tenth elder immediately stood in front of Wu Mo and stared at Wei Ying with vigilance. He was afraid that Wei Ying would suddenly hurt Mr. Wu.

“No, that’s Unique Treasure Hall’s treasure!”

Wei Ying was about to explode in anger. He yelled hysterically and no longer looked as calm and composed as before. Instead, he resembled a shrew whose young had been stolen

“I’m willing to buy each for ¥1,000,000. Get that b*stard to return the remaining purple equipment to me!” Wei Ying’s lips trembled as he shouted in a somewhat hoarse voice

Seeing that the chief blacksmith of Unique Treasure Hall, Wei Ying, had actually become so worked up, the tenth elder revealed a slight smile as he snorted coldly.

“It’s better for you to save your money. Treasure Pavilion doesn’t lack the ¥6,000,000 that could be earned from this.”

The tenth elder wore an arrogant expression as he stroked his beard and looked at Wei Ying, who had lost his reason.

‘Who knew you would have such a day? This old man’s trip to Shanglin City has been quite rewarding.’

The tenth elder could not help but sigh in his heart. The enmity between Unique Treasure Hall and Treasure Pavilion had lasted for nearly two years.

Both sides had been constantly making small moves, but they had been unable to completely destroy the other. He did not expect the one to crush Unique Treasure Hall, in the end, would be a student who was not even twenty years old.

It was truly a pity.

As he thought about it, the tenth elder could not help but turn his head to Wu Mo. He discovered that of the original seven pieces of purple equipment on the ground, only three were left now. Seeing how excited Wu Mo was, it did not seem like he intended to stop.

“B*stard!”

The veins on Wei Ying’s forehead popped out. He watched helplessly as Wu Mo threw one piece of purple equipment after another into the cauldron. He had nowhere to vent the anger and hatred in his heart.

His face turned pale. If not for the two cultivators supporting him from behind, he might have already collapsed to the ground.

“Stop him. Hurry… If we let him continue burning the equipment, Unique Treasure Hall will be finished!”

Wei Ying’s voice was a little weak this time. It was as if he had been severely traumatized, and he was now a little nervous.

The two cultivators looked at each other, and in the end, they only sighed.

Their only mission was to protect Wei Ying. They had never intended to fight the tenth elder. He was a five-star cultivator, after all, and he was an elder of Treasure Pavilion’s headquarters. If they really fought, things would not end well for them.

Although the Wei family treated them well, it was not enough for them to risk their lives.

“Hmph, stop barking. If you’re capable, just fight,” the tenth elder said indifferently with his hands behind his back.

The two four-star cultivators were no one to him.

Although he was dressed in plain clothes, he had at least three pieces of Epic-grade equipment on him. If they actually fought, the two four-star cultivators would not last thirty minutes as his opponents.

If they really attacked him, he could take the chance to deal with the two four-star cultivators.

Once that happened, even the Wei family would be heartbroken. After all, four-star cultivators were just as difficult to nurture as blacksmiths. If they were beaten to death before they could make a difference, their cultivation in the previous ten years would be thrown down the drain, and they would not so much as see a splash.

With the tenth elder and Gao Yue’s protection, Wu Mo’s process of melting the equipment went very smoothly in the hall.

Not long after, the pile of equipment beside him was almost empty, and there were only a dozen pieces of Premium and Epic-grade equipment left.

Throughout the entire process, everyone in Unique Treasure Hall could only watch as Wu Mo melted the equipment.

The blacksmiths were already paralyzed on the ground. They looked at Wu Mo as if he was a madman.

After all, a sane person would never do such a thing.

To melt the equipment into raw materials just to remove the binding on it was something that no one had done in the past 200 years.

At this rate, all the equipment in Unique Treasure Hall would disappear and be melted into molten iron as well as various raw materials in less than ten minutes.

At that time, there would be no need to talk about taking back the equipment and making a comeback.

At that time, the Wei family would definitely suffer a huge blow, and no one knew what the consequences would be.

One could tell by looking at Wei Ying’s expression.

Wei Ying was usually steady and prudent, but he was currently on the verge of going crazy from anger. When he saw Wu mo melt seven pieces of Epic-grade equipment into molten iron, he was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood.

There was wet scarlet blood on the ground, and the flames from the cauldron lit everyone’s faces. At that moment, Unique Treasure Hall’s staff members were no longer united as one. It was every man for himself.

The Wei family was no longer reliable, and the other chambers of commerce also faced all kinds of problems. Based on future development, Treasure Pavilion would be an absolute presence in Shanglin city.

If they wanted to seek good treatment and welfare, Treasure Pavilion was the best place to go. As for whether the small chambers of commerce could afford good perks, it depended on the blacksmiths’ persuasion.

Unless they went to a different city to develop, it was definitely not a wise choice to go against Treasure Pavilion.

In the hall, all the equipment on the ground had disappeared. Wu Mo had mercilessly smelted those that emanated a purple glow too.

By then, the fire in the large-scale cauldron was gradually extinguishing. Wu Mo climbed up the ladder and opened the lid of the cauldron. In the next moment, mottled fog floated out of the lid, causing Unique Treasure Hall’s white ceiling to turn yellow.

As the fog dispersed, the items in the cauldron were immediately exposed to everyone.

They spotted an oval-shaped iron ball with a diameter of about 80 centimeters in the furnace.

The surface of the iron ball was full of holes, and there were some red, as well as white, patches. With one look, you could tell that they were a fusion of several hundred pieces of equipment. They were the results of the blacksmiths’ painstaking work.

When the blacksmiths saw the iron ball, their faces unwittingly twitched. Meanwhile, Wei Ying’s facial features became distorted as if his mind had been triggered again.

Wu Mo snapped his fingers lightly, and the Interspatial Ring on his finger released a flash of white light. In the next second, the iron ball disappeared completely into the Interspatial Ring.

He took the opportunity to store the cauldron in his Interspatial Ring as well. After that, Wu Mo put away more than half of the stored materials. He could not fit any more in his ring, so he told the tenth elder to temporarily store the remaining materials in Treasure Pavilion.

The tenth elder naturally did not refuse. On the contrary, he was ecstatic. After all, Wu Mo obviously decided on it because he trusted them.
