The game was now all but over, with Chu Yuan simply waiting for the transfer of the City Lord''s position the next day, and then announcing the relocation of Artifact Refining City.
However, taking advantage of this waiting time, Chu Yuan wasn''t idle. Instead, he turned his attention to the System Mall''s reward of ten free refresh opportunities.
"With the national power raised to six stars, I wonder what surprises it will bring me?"
With ten refresh opportunities, it would be a waste not to use them, so he clicked the refresh button.
Whoosh! The mall page changed.
"There are indeed some good things, but unfortunately, none that I need."
Chu Yuan continued to refresh.
After three refreshes, something caught his eye.
Advanced Healing Potion: Can heal all injuries below and within the True God Realm, instantly recovering fully. Exchange rate: two thousand Destiny Points.
"Advanced Healing Potion!"
Chu Yuan was moved.
Although Dawu had yet to have a being of the True God level, this valuable item could save the life of a True God, and it only required two thousand Destiny Points for exchange.
"Ding! Host has spent two thousand Destiny Points and acquired one Advanced Healing Potion."
He bought one bottle first to avoid it being refreshed away, and placed it in his purchased column.
He continued with the refresh.
As the system had said, the higher the national power level, the better the items refreshed within the system.
All-guiding Four-spirit Battle Formation: a battle formation that a minimum of one thousand people can form, imitating the power of four mythical beasts, combining their power into one, and possessing countless changes. Exchange rate: ten thousand Destiny Points.
All-guiding referred to countless changes, while Four-spirit referred to the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise.
"Ding! The host has spent ten thousand Destiny Points and acquired the All-guiding Four-spirit Battle Formation."
"Remaining Destiny Points: 149550."
With six opportunities for refresh remaining, Chu Yuan continued to refresh.
"Ding! The host has spent twenty-four thousand Destiny Points, and acquired four Void God Realm experience pills."
During his refreshes, Chu Yuan also saw Void God Realm experience pills.
This was a valuable item capable of rapidly promoting someone at the Void God Realm to the tenth level of the Void God Realm within three months. Of course he would want to exchange for it and elevate the strength of his trusted generals.
The second day soon arrived, and inside the main hall of Artifact Refining City''s center, at this moment, nine great elders and many other elders had gathered there, their eyes fixed on an eternal and formidable figure.
"Greetings to the Martial Emperor!"
Chu Yuan appeared in the grand hall, his gaze sweeping casually across the room, "You may continue, Jin Chiyang, hand over your City Lord Seal."
"Starting from today, the new City Lord of Artifact Refining City will be City Lord Ouyang, while I, Jin Chiyang, will abdicate and continue my service within Artifact Refining City."
Jin Chiyang took out his City Lord Seal and handed it to Ouyang Ming.
Ouyang Ming accepted the seal with both hands and respectfully said to Chu Yuan, "As the official, I will lead the entire Artifact Refining City to be loyal to the Emperor!"
The eyebrows of the nine great elders furrowed somewhat at this moment. They were well aware that behind Ouyang Ming was the shadow of Dawu, but to say so directly out loud, were they to make the entire Artifact Refining City belong to Dawu and become subjects of Dawu?
For the sake of obtaining more of the real teachings in artifact refining, contributing to Dawu''s refining was acceptable. But to become subjects was a bit hard to accept.
A great elder said, "Jin Chiyang, what are your thoughts?"
"I have no thoughts, I obey whatever the Martial Emperor says."
What ideas could Jin Chiyang possibly have? He''d already handed over his soul origin.
But the nine great elders didn''t know that.
They felt doubtful in their hearts, wondering why Jin Chiyang had become so well-behaved today, as if he had changed his personality.
"There is also one more thing I wish to inform you of."
Sitting in the highest seat, Chu Yuan''s eyes glittered gold. As an immense momentum burst forth, he gazed at the crowd. "I am giving you three days to prepare. After three days, the Artifact Refining City of the Middle Mysterious Domain will cease to exist. All refining masters will relocate to Dawu. I am not discussing this with you, but issuing an edict."
"What, Martial Emperor, you want to relocate Artifact Refining City!"
"Artifact Refining City has existed in the Middle Mysterious Domain for tens of thousands of years, how could it be relocated so soon? We are a neutral power and will not lean towards any side. That is our path to survival!"
"That''s right, Martial Emperor, making us serve you by refining artifacts is no problem, but relocating Artifact Refining City is forcing something impossible."
....
The nine great elders reacted fiercely. They found it completely unacceptable to relocate, as they felt the Martial Emperor was trying to change the layout of Artifact Refining City too drastically.
"The transfer of Artifact Refining City to Dawu is a must, as I, Ouyang Ming, am a subject of Dawu. Are you implying I should stay in the Middle Mysterious Domain as the City Lord? Where I reside is where Artifact Refining City is."
Ouyang Ming swept his eyes around. Coolly, he stated, "A forced melon is not sweet. We won''t force anyone unwilling to move to Dawu. But those who are willing will enjoy all of Dawu''s benefits, become subjects of Dawu, and they can obtain more real teachings in artifact refining. You can think about it."
"If Artifact Refining City is to be moved to Dawu, I, Jin Chiyang, have no objections. I''ll follow the Emperor''s edicts, being the first to go to Dawu."
Jin Chiyang immediately knelt down, expressing his loyalty.
"Jin Chiyang, from now on, you are the Deputy City Lord, acting as Ouyang Ming''s deputy in the Founding Bureau."
