The next day.
Somewhere inside a tavern in Hunyuan City.
"Taoist Friend Chen, it's been a long time. Your cultivation has deepened impressively; congratulations."
An elderly man wearing a brown brocade robe was smiling warmly at Chen Ye, apparently in high spirits.
This elder was fiddling with two walnut-sized metal balls, and with each turn, a subtle mechanical click could be heard.
"Master Gu."
Chen Ye closed the door, sat across from the elder, and said with a smile,
"It's been years apart, yet Master remains stylish as ever. If it weren't for Master crafting the Jade Treasure Sword for me back at Moon Rhinoceros Lake District, I wouldn't have had such stability today."
This person was none other than Master Gu.
Back then, he was an artifact refiner at Moon Rhinoceros Lake District and refined two flying swords for Chen Ye.
