Divine War Pill Emperor

Chapter 649: Chapter 647: The City Lord’s Mansion Makes a Move

Although he had sent Zuo Tu away, Jiang Chen was still frowning slightly.

It was because of the Artifact Refiner Guild. He really didn’t want to have a complete falling out with them; it was entirely unnecessary.

Zuo Tu would definitely be back.

But before Zuo Tu returned, Jiang Chen received another visitor.

It was Feng Hu, son of Feng Qi from the City Lord’s Mansion.

“Greetings, Young Master Jiang.”

Feng Hu was extremely deferential upon seeing Jiang Chen, his tone very polite.

Not only had Jiang Chen helped the City Lord’s Mansion through its crisis, but he had also given them Foundation Strengthening Pills. In just a short time, Feng Hu’s Cultivation had already shown improvement.

But he had come today on business.

After Jiang Chen invited Feng Hu to sit down,

Feng Hu asked, “Young Master Jiang, I heard that people from the Zuo Family and the Artifact Refiner Guild have been causing trouble for you.”

That’s right. Feng Hu had rushed over as soon as he heard the news.

Jiang Chen nodded.

“That’s right. The people from the Artifact Refiner Guild brought up some rule and want my Chenxi Pavilion to shut down.”

Feng Hu said angrily, “Young Master Jiang, if you ask me, your Chenxi Pavilion is doing booming business, and the Zuo Family is green with envy. That’s why they’re specifically targeting you.”

“How about this? Our City Lord’s Mansion owes you a great debt. Let us handle the Artifact Refiner Guild and the Zuo Family this time.”

Feng Hu had come this time specifically to help Chenxi Pavilion.

He rushed over the moment he heard. The City Lord’s Mansion had eyes and ears all over Xingyuan City, so they naturally received the news quickly.

He immediately added, “That Zuo Tu is nothing but a greedy, petty man. He’s not doing this for the Zuo Family, but to rake in a huge profit for himself. We can’t show him any courtesy.”

Jiang Chen decided to let Feng Hu handle it.

“Alright then. I’ll have to trouble your City Lord’s Mansion this time.”

This was a time when he needed the City Lord’s Mansion.

Feng Hu pounded his chest and readily agreed.

But then he added, “Young Master Jiang, there is one thing. The Artifact Refiner Guild does in fact have a regulation. Without the Guild’s permission, no one can open a shop to sell Magical Treasures in the Tang Kingdom.”

“This part is true. So, by opening, Chenxi Pavilion is inevitably subject to their oversight.”

Naturally, Jiang Chen didn’t deny this rule of the Artifact Refiner Guild.

He just wasn’t very clear on the details yet.

He asked, “Do you have a solution?”

In Xingyuan City, the people of the City Lord’s Mansion certainly knew the city and the Tang Kingdom better than Jiang Chen did.

Feng Hu explained, “It’s actually quite simple. The Artifact Refiner Guild’s rules state that as long as one is an Artifact Refiner certified by the Guild, they can open a shop to sell Magical Treasures.”

“This rule applies throughout the entire Artifact Refiner Guild, which is why ordinary people can’t open shops that sell Magical Treasures.”

“So, if you find a certified Artifact Refiner, you can sell Magical Treasures without any issue.”

“Of course, if you yourself pass the Artifact Refiner Guild’s certification, Young Master, then you won’t need anyone’s help and can directly open a shop to sell Magical Treasures.”

After hearing this, Jiang Chen understood.

Although he was an Artifact Refiner, he hadn’t been certified by the Artifact Refiner Guild, so they didn’t recognize him as one.

And Jiang Chen had indeed been too busy to get certified.

“I see. I understand now.”

“I am also an Artifact Refiner. I’ll find some time to go to the Artifact Refiner Guild and get certified.”

Feng Hu wasn’t surprised that Jiang Chen was an Artifact Refiner.

But it was clear he hadn’t been certified.

“Don’t worry, Young Master. You can go to the Artifact Refiner Guild for certification anytime.”

Jiang Chen learned a few things about the Artifact Refiner Guild from Feng Hu.

「Meanwhile, at the Artifact Refiner Guild.」

Zuo Tu and Luo Quan had appeared at the Artifact Refiner Guild.

Luo Quan said to Law Enforcer Captain Tang Na, “Captain, it’s like this: that Chenxi Pavilion opened a shop and is selling Magical Treasures without our Guild’s certification.”

“When I tried to stop them, they actually attacked me.”

“And look! They beat the Eighth Young Master, too!”

“Chenxi Pavilion is trampling all over the supreme authority of our Artifact Refiner Guild! We can’t let a shop like Chenxi Pavilion continue to exist.”

Luo Quan harbored a deep hatred for Chenxi Pavilion. Someone there had broken his arm.

Although he had taken a Healing Elixir, recovery wouldn’t be a simple matter.

As the captain of the Artifact Refiner Guild’s law enforcement team, Tang Na was responsible for handling these mundane affairs. However, her status within the Guild was very high.

Furthermore, her Cultivation was at the Martial Arts Sect Fifth Heaven, making her incredibly powerful.

At this, Tang Na snorted coldly.

“A mere Chenxi Pavilion dares to be so audacious.”

“They dare to break the rules of our Artifact Refiner Guild. They deserve to die.”

“Fine. You two, come with me. If they don’t have our Guild’s certification, they must shut down.”

Immediately, Tang Na led Luo Quan and Zuo Tu straight to Chenxi Pavilion.

Soon, they arrived outside Chenxi Pavilion.

“This is the place.”

Luo Quan said, pointing at Chenxi Pavilion for Tang Na.

Tang Na’s expression was grim.

Beside her, Zuo Tu wore a gloating expression.

‘As long as Tang Na makes a move, Chenxi Pavilion is finished. It’ll be shut down in no time.’

The group walked into Chenxi Pavilion.

Outside, a large team of Law Enforcers from the Artifact Refiner Guild had even surrounded the building.

Watching the group walk in, Jiang Chen frowned slightly.

It was Zuo Tu and Luo Quan again. This time, however, they had brought a woman with them. Jiang Chen did a quick scan and found her Cultivation to be unfathomably deep. She was clearly an expert.

Beside him, Feng Hu’s expression changed slightly. He looked at Tang Na and whispered to Jiang Chen, “Young Master, that’s Tang Na, the captain of the Artifact Refiner Guild’s law enforcement team.”

Then, Feng Hu stood up and greeted her, “Captain Tang Na.”

Tang Na paid Feng Hu little mind.

She asked in a cold tone, “Who is the owner here? Step forward.”

Representing the Artifact Refiner Guild, she was naturally full of confidence, carrying an air of superiority.

Jiang Chen remained seated, not bothering to rise. He replied calmly, “I am.”

Tang Na’s gaze snapped towards Jiang Chen.

Her eyes were icy.

“Very well. According to the regulations of our Artifact Refiner Guild, any shop that sells Magical Treasures must possess our Guild’s certificate. Show me your certificate from our Artifact Refiner Guild, will you?”

“As long as you can produce it, we won’t consider this an unauthorized opening.”

From the moment she entered, Tang Na didn’t bring up Luo Quan’s injury, only demanding the certificate.

Jiang Chen said flatly, “I don’t have one.”

He didn’t want to break the Artifact Refiner Guild’s rules, but if they pushed him too far, he wouldn’t just stand by and do nothing.

Tang Na sneered.

“Since you don’t have one, and you haven’t been certified by our Artifact Refiner Guild, then shut this place down.”

“Shut it down now.”

Luo Quan sneered from the side.

“Now do you see how formidable our Artifact Refiner Guild is?”

Jiang Chen said nothing.

But Feng Hu stepped forward.

He said to Tang Na, “Captain Tang Na, Chenxi Pavilion was established by our City Lord’s Mansion. Although it doesn’t have a certificate at the moment…”

“…the one who established Chenxi Pavilion is an Artifact Refiner certified by the Guild.”

“Elder Huang, please show your credentials to Captain Tang Na.”

As he spoke, an old man stepped out from behind Feng Hu.
