Chapter 506 - Thunder Forge.
Dwaj and the rest were told about the auction timing and they were asked to come back in the night. Yang Dao asked, "Will we have to stay here at night?"
Alisha shook her head and said, "No, the teleportation will be open at all times. So we can leave after the auction. I do not think we will have anything to buy but it will be a good opportunity to see what sort of bizarre things are there in the immortal plane."
Yang Dao nodded and they came back to the restaurant they ate in the morning. The meal was simple and the Dao child looked around the place with interest. Thale said, "You noticed the oddity, Dao?"
The boy nodded and said, "Senior brother, such ambiguity in the atmosphere. If I am not wrong it should be for because of the auction?"
Thale nodded. Dwaj said, "Young Master, what do you think the intention of these vigilant people is?"
Yang Dao looked around, knowing that it was a test from Dwaj, which tested the edge of his mind. He did not wish to give a wrong answer. He gazed at the few people sitting inside the restaurant, they all had nothing wrong but they acted as if they were not from this world. Their facial expressions showed that they had no interest in worldly things. The boy said, "They could be all up to anything but I can say that it is something big."
Dwaj nodded and said in a low voice, "You guessed correct. They all are people who try to reap benefits from the sides. After the event in the evening is when they act. Usually, the merchant group makes sure that the patrons are out safely, but not everyone is that lucky. Their safety guarantee only extends to big players and heavy spenders. Also, the rose merchant group has a condition. After you step outside the trading center, they are not responsible for anything. That is why it is said to be wary of these places and events."
Yang Dao nodded and thanked him for guidance. After all, a merchant will only act when they see the profit. Suddenly, a cheerful manly voice sounded, "Dao?"
Yang Dao turned his head back and jumped off his chair and then he ran over to the man who had just called for him without waiting for anyone to react. He embraced the middle-aged man hard and said, "Uncle Lars."
The man had facial features similar to Yang Dao's father Yang Shan. This person was his father's cousin and being the darling of the Yang family, he was loved by all of them, and he loved them all in return too. Lars patted his back gently and said, "Let me look at our young man, how has he grown up?"
Yang Dao took a few steps back and smiled at the man. Lars smiled and said, "Still a little short."
The boy walked over and kicked him in the shin after this but the man only chuckled. He said, "Still cannot take a joke."
Yang Dao squinted and said, "I will message Aunt Skyla that you teased me again. Still do not understand that I am not in my adolescence yet, old man."
Lars sighed and said, "Yes, yes, I am the old man. Now tell me, what are you doing on this planet?"
Yang Dao said, "I came with my senior disciples to complete a task. I wanted to see the world." he pointed at the table full of people.
They all nodded stood up and bowed to Lars as they greeted him as a Senior. Lars looked young but his cultivation was Ascended Mortal. He greeted them with a polite nod too. Yang Dao asked, "Why are you here?"
Lars came and sat down on the chair Yang Dao had left and said, "Tingting wanted a grade three armor. She is in the golden core realm now and her armor is no longer able to handle the attacks of golden cores. So, I came here to see if Mark can forge something for her."
Yang Dao nodded, and said, "I did not know, Senior Mark had a forge shop here. Wait, I have something, Sister Tingting will like it."
Then he waved his hand and took out the five-colored snakeskin from his space ring. The people on the table were surprised and they cast a look around in vigilance. Lars smiled and said, "Do not worry, no one perceives through the barrier around us."
They all thought Lars had deployed the barrier and calmed down. However, it was Yang Dao, who erected the barrier. He said, "See, this is the skin of a golden core five-colored boa. It has high dexterity and it also looks very pretty, however, you will have to pluck off the scales."
Lars checked the skin and said, "This is good. But It can be promoted to a grade-four armor with some right combination materials. Would you like to try?"
Yang Dao thought for a bit and said, "I would like to. But the auction..."
Lars patted his shoulder and said, "You can go to that event then."
Yang Dao did not want to miss the chance but he was aware that this armor was very useful for the plan in his mind. He looked at Thale and said, "Senior brother, you all can go to the event I will go with my uncle and then will wait for you all here."
They were surprised but it was not their place to say anything about his ideas. Thale nodded. Alisha stood up and said, "Young Master, I will follow you, I have no interest in that place."
Daina stood up too, and said, "You all are boring, I will go with Dao. I do not want to go in the event but come out empty-handed."
Lars looked at the two girls and shook his head slightly. He sighed at how the popularity of his nephew was as always high with the fairer sex before they stood up and walked outside the restaurant.
Lars led the trio through the market place and the people subconsciously gave him way. Yang Dao asked, "How is everyone at home?"
The man replied, "Same old. The old lady was missing you a few days ago. I heard some girl called Lin Xue came to visit you. What is the story?"
Yang Dao shrugged and said, "Last time I went to Mom's workplace, I met her there, she was a guest and lady Wang's birthday banquet."
Lars nodded. The two girls were hearing all this with a filter on their ears. Lars said, "That fellow Xia Jian has gained some fame in the region, I heard he cleaned up some bandits around the free planet and Xia Family took control of the region."
Yang Dao nodded and said, "Grandpa must have sent out the message, it is fine until they step in the Yang Territory as always?"
Lars nodded, "Yes. That message works. People have a good idea of what the Yang Family can do."
Yang Dao nodded, and they navigated through the streets and hustle-bustle of the city to come to a secluded shop. A signboard hung over the door, Thunder Forge. Daina could not help but ask, "What is so special about this shop?"
Before Lars could reply, Yang Dao said, "Senior Mark is a person who can use the Lighting element. He uses that to forge his artifacts and weapons."
Daina and Alisha were surprised. The lightning element was one of the rarest and strongest elements in the immortal plane. Yang Dao did not know yet, that he could also use the same because of the memory seal. Lars nodded and said, "Yes, yes, you have shown off in the name of Mark. Let us go in."
Then he pushed the door open and let the kids inside first before following them. Inside the show, there was a wooden counter behind which there were a few weapons hanging. And at the corner of the main room was a door. Besides this, they found nothing. Lars asked, "Mark, are you inside?"
A booming voice sounded, "No."
Yang Dao chuckled and said, "Senior Mark. I am here to see you."
What followed after that was a clattering sound and a man with a thick beard came out of the door on the side. The man had robust muscles and his hair was tied in a long knot. He said, "Ah, if it isn't our Young Master Dao."
Yang Dao smiled and bowed to him, as he said, "I have seen Senior Mark."
Mark smiled contently and waved his hand to lift him up. He said, "Good fellow, became stronger again. I can sense your weapon intent without even you showing it off."
Yang Dao smiled and said, "You boast me too much, Senior."
Mark was about to say something when Lars said, "If you have finished with your acting of being a sophisticated forger, get some things done or your dusty shop will be like this only."
The two people gazed into each other's eyes and sparks flew. Yang Dao shook his head and said to the girls, "Create some room.. They might hurt us."
