"Senior Brother?" 

Hearing Lan Yingying's words, Mo Yu was startled and quickly realized that this person must be another disciple of Bing Lao. 

"Yes, it's him. Senior Brother's name is Sheng Qi. He joined the sect ten years before me and has been following the master for over twenty years. If you're looking for Na Ling, I can't be sure about anyone else, but Senior Brother Sheng will definitely have it and will be willing to trade with you," Lan Yingying said with a smile. 

"Oh?" Hearing this, Mo Yu stroked his chin and asked curiously, "So, Senior Sister Lan is saying that this Senior Brother Sheng doesn't seem to lack Na Ling?" 

"Hehe, you're sharp, little junior brother. Yes, Senior Brother has quite a bit of Na Ling, and as for why..." Lan Yingying paused with a mysterious smile before continuing, "Do you know what the biggest source of revenue is within the Weapon Alliance?" 

Mo Yu pondered for a moment and slowly replied, "Could it be... Na Rings?" 

Lan Yingying was momentarily surprised at Mo Yu's response, then laughed, "You're quite clever, little junior brother. Yes, it's the Na Rings. 

On the continent, not all cultivator need weapons for various reasons. Weapons aren't as highly sought after as pills, which is also why weapon refiners have never held as high a status as alchemists. However, there is one exception—Na Rings. 

Na Rings are essential items for traveling and cultivation, and they're immensely popular across the continent. Even a low-tier Na Ring is highly valuable and scarce. 

The Weapon Alliance controls nearly 60% of the Na Ring business across the continent. This is their largest source of revenue, and they've even established a special department called the 'Forging Department' solely responsible for crafting and selling Na Rings. 

Over the decades, the Forging Department has created hundreds of thousands of high-tier Na Rings, and Senior Brother Sheng is the deputy head of the department. If you're looking to trade for Na Ling, you've found the right person." 

After hearing Lan Yingying's explanation, Mo Yu was enlightened. Although the original story didn't elaborate on the origins of Na Rings, it was likely due to the lesser fame of weapon refiners. Still, since they controlled 60% of the Na Ring business on the continent, it made sense that the Weapon Alliance would accumulate a lot of high-tier Na Stones over the years. Even if the chance of Na Ling appearing in high-tier Na Stones was low, with such a large number, they must have gathered quite a bit. 

With this realization, a smile appeared on Mo Yu's face. He was in desperate need of Na Ling, and it seemed the Weapon Alliance had plenty. 

Moreover, since Sheng Qi was Bing Lao's eldest disciple, Mo Yu now had a bridge to communicate with him. As for the price of the trade, he had plenty of resources. 

"Thank you, Senior Sister Lan. May I ask where the headquarters of the Weapon Alliance is located in Central Plains?" Mo Yu asked with gratitude. 

"Since I've already decided to recommend you to join the Weapon Alliance, there's no harm in telling you. The headquarters is located in the Western Region of Central Plains. Once you get to Central Plains, you can easily find it. 

As for Senior Brother Sheng, he is a quiet person who loves refining weapons and is often at the headquarters. If you want to trade for Na Ling, just mention our master's name, and he will help you," Lan Yingying said with a smile. 

Hearing this, Mo Yu nodded gratefully and felt that this trip was truly worthwhile. 

If he hadn't come to Beast Wilderness City to take the weapon refiner exam, he wouldn't have met Lan Yingying or learned about the existence of Na Ling. Otherwise, searching aimlessly for Na Ling would have been a near-impossible task. 

With this crucial information in hand, Mo Yu let out a sigh of relief. He then thought of something and asked, "Since I can't trade for Na Ling just yet, does Senior Sister Lan have any news about Na Stones or other items containing spatial energy? I'm also in urgent need of those." 

Lan Yingying was momentarily surprised and asked curiously, "Junior Brother, your demands are quite numerous. Items containing spatial energy are very rare and not something most people can use. 

If you really need them, I recently collected some Na Stones. They're not as rare as Na Ling, so if you need them, I can give you some." 

Mo Yu raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Thank you, Senior Sister Lan. Na Stones are very valuable to me. How many do you have?" 

"I have ten low-tier Na Stones and six mid-tier Na Stones," Lan Yingying said, pausing for a moment before smiling, "and one high-tier Na Stone." 

"High-tier Na Stone?" 

Mo Yu's face lit up with joy. While low-tier and mid-tier Na Stones contained some spatial energy, after absorbing so many Void Ice Crystals, their spatial energy was insufficient for his Flash Void Breaking Thunder. However, a high-tier Na Stone was different—it was used to craft high-tier Na Rings and contained enough spatial energy for the Flash Void Breaking Thunder to feast on. 

"Senior Sister Lan, I'll take all of these Na Stones. How would you like to trade?" Mo Yu asked with a smile. 

Lan Yingying's eyes sparkled as she looked at Mo Yu. Covering her mouth with a soft laugh, she said, "Originally, since it's our first meeting and you're someone the master values, I wouldn't mind giving these to you as a gift. 

However, aside from the low-tier and mid-tier Na Stones, this high-tier Na Stone is extremely rare. Even for me, giving it away is a bit painful. 

How about this—just give me something of equivalent value for the high-tier Na Stone, and the rest of the Na Stones will be my gift to you. How does that sound?" 

Mo Yu rubbed his chin thoughtfully and nodded. High-tier Na Stones were indeed priceless, and usually, they were traded in exchanges rather than with money. 

As for the ten low-tier and mid-tier Na Stones Lan Yingying was gifting him, their value was close to a million gold coins, a very generous gift. Only someone as well-connected and wealthy as Lan Yingying could be so generous. 

"Thank you for your kindness, Senior Sister," Mo Yu cupped his hands in gratitude. After a brief moment of thought, he lightly touched his beast ring, and with a flick of his finger, a small jade bottle appeared in his palm. 

Seeing the emerald jade bottle in Mo Yu's hand, Lan Yingying raised an eyebrow, curiosity flashing in her beautiful eyes. 

Looking at the bottle, Mo Yu seemed to recall his experiences in the Magical Beast Mountain Range and the woman he had once met there... 

Shaking off the thoughts, he gently removed the stopper and placed the bottle on the table. Instantly, a wisp of purple smoke curled up, and the temperature in the small space rose noticeably. 

Sensing the surrounding air becoming hotter and seeing the wisps of purple flame-like gas, Lan Yingying's eyes narrowed. 

Reaching out with her jade-like hand, she grasped the bottle and brought it to her nose, taking a small sniff of the rich purple gas. Her eyes lit up as she exclaimed, "Purple Crystal Essence?" 

Mo Yu nodded slightly. The bottle contained Purple Crystal Essence that he had obtained with Yun Yun's help from the Amethyst Winged Lion King's lair in the Magical Beast Mountain Range. 

Originally, he had six bottles of Purple Crystal Essence but had gradually used up three. Now, only three bottles remained. 

He hadn't expected Lan Yingying to recognize it with just a sniff. 

Looking at the bottle on the table, Mo Yu felt a bit reluctant to part with it. 

However, he didn't have anything else valuable on hand, and writing down a fourth-tier pill recipe would take too much time and effort. So, he had no choice but to offer the Purple Crystal Essence. 

Although the Purple Crystal Essence was precious, it paled in comparison to a high-tier Na Stone and the information about Na Ling. 

"Tsk tsk, Junior Brother, I wouldn't have expected you to get your hands on something as rare as a Purple Crystal Essence…" Lan Yingying exclaimed in surprise, recalling the information about this peculiar treasure. 

"Just a lucky find," Mo Yu responded with a calm smile. He looked up at her, his gaze relaxed. "So, Senior Sister Lan, are you satisfied with what I've brought?" 

"Of course, I'm satisfied," Lan Yingying grinned. With a graceful swipe of her finger over the storage ring on her ring finger, several black stones of varying shapes and sizes appeared on the table. 

"Na Stones!" 

Mo Yu's eyes flickered with surprise as he saw these stones filled with abundant spatial energy. A smile soon tugged at the corner of his mouth. 

His gaze shifted slightly as he noticed one stone among the group that was larger and richer in spatial energy than the others. 

"A high-grade Nascent Stone…" 

The black, ancient-looking stone, the size of a washbasin, caused faint spatial ripples around it, and seeing this filled Mo Yu with joy. 

Absorbing this many Na Stones should allow the Flash Void Breaking Thunder to smoothly advance to its second growth stage. 

By then, even if it couldn't match a Dou Zun expert's ability to instantly traverse thousands of miles, it would still be quite useful. 

Mo Yu's eyes remained fixed on the stones, and with Lan Yingying's consent, he reached out to store them in his Beast Ring. 

As soon as his hand touched the stones, the Flash Void Breaking Thunder inside him stirred, like a ravenous beast encountering a feast, sending signals of hunger and greed, eager to devour the Na Stones whole. 

However, the setting was clearly not appropriate for that, so Mo Yu gently admonished the Flash Void Breaking Thunder, which obediently quieted down. He quickly took the opportunity to store the stones, one by one, into his Beast Ring. 

Lan Yingying, after thoroughly inspecting the Purple Crystal Essence, stowed it away as well, marking the successful end of their transaction. 

"Well then, Junior Brother, the deal is done. I assume you'll be leaving the Mu Lan Empire soon?" she mused, remembering the bounty still on his head. 

Mo Yu nodded, his voice soft. "I'll leave Beast Wasteland City today and head to the western border of the empire, returning to the Jia Ma Empire." 

"The Jia Ma Empire, your homeland, huh? A good choice. Although Mu Lan Valley is strong, it can't meddle in the affairs of other empires. You'll be much safer once you're back," Lan Yingying said thoughtfully. 

As she considered his imminent departure, she added, "I can recommend some weapon refiners to join the Weapon Alliance, but you'll need to confirm things in person at their headquarters when the time comes." 

"The Weapon Alliance's requirements for members aren't as strict as other factions, but remember, Junior Brother, don't ever betray their interests," she warned him. 

Mo Yu nodded seriously. The identity of being a Weapon Alliance member was something he valued highly, and he certainly wouldn't give it up casually. 

Besides, the Weapon Alliance, as a well-organized and vast group, held significant appeal for Mo Yu. 

After all, when Xiao Yan had Master Yao Lao as his backing, he eventually became the Young Pavilion Master of the Falling Star Pavilion, wielding great power and prestige. 

While Mo Yu had no intention of engaging in meaningless comparisons, he understood that having control over a powerful force was crucial to his growth. To develop further, a strong backing was essential. 

Going it alone, whether in his past or present life, was never a viable strategy. 

Rather than relying on families or sects, Mo Yu had set his sights on the Weapon Alliance. 

Though its influence was currently scattered and not well-known, it only lacked a few top-tier weapon refiners to elevate it. 

And under the leadership of Mo Yu, a grandmaster weapon refiner in his previous life, perhaps the Weapon Alliance could one day rival even the Pill Tower. 

These thoughts swirled in his mind, but Mo Yu's expression remained calm. He gave a solemn nod in response to Lan Yingying's caution. "Rest assured, Senior Sister Lan. As a weapon refiner, I would never do anything to harm the Weapon Alliance." 

After a few more moments of conversation, Mo Yu finally rose to bid farewell. It was time for him to leave Beast Wasteland City. 

Under Lan Yingying's curious gaze, Mo Yu used his skill to change his appearance once more, transforming into a refined and youthful face. 

"Amazing disguise technique," Lan Yingying marveled with a smile, before offering, "Let me see you off." 

Mo Yu nodded in acknowledgment. 

As the two left the Weapon Refiner's Branch, people along the way greeted Lan Yingying respectfully. However, their gazes lingered on Mo Yu, astonished by the sight of the young man in a purple robe, symbolizing a third-grade weapon refiner. Shock flashed in their eyes as they took in his youthful features. 

Ignoring the stunned stares, Mo Yu followed Lan Yingying through the streets of Beast Wasteland City until they finally approached the city gates. 

Just as Mo Yu was about to bid her farewell, a cold voice suddenly echoed from behind him. 

"Heh, Junior Brother Yu Mo, leaving Beast Wasteland City so soon? Could it be that you've done something shameful?" 

The voice caused Mo Yu to freeze. He turned around, only to find Mu Qing standing there with a sinister smile. 

But what surprised Mo Yu even more was the presence of three imposing, green-robed men standing beside Mu Qing. 

His gaze slowly shifted to the leader of the three, and his face grew serious. 

"The Little Beast King!"
