Rumors

The very next day, Jun was sitting cross-legged in a private room with his eyes closed. 

"Master, all the materials you have asked for are in this storage ring." Hua Zhenyi handed over a ring to Jun. 

Jun took it with interest and checked the contents inside the storage ring. 

It was just as Zhenyi had said before, that all the materials required to make the [Typhoon Tamer Puppet] was placed in the storage ring. 

As for the materials for the spirit boat, they were sent to the Forging Workshop. 

Immediately afterward, Jun started to make the [Typhoon Tamer Puppet], while Elder Wong started manufacturing spirit boats. 

[Typhoon Tamer Puppet] is a very complicated type of puppet with strong offensive and defensive power. 

If there's a skilled puppet cultivator controlling it, then they can even fight an early-stage Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator head-on. 

After a round of failure, Jun finally succeeded in making a puppet. 

The puppet's outer body was made out of a material that looked similar to plastic, it was great for flexibility but disadvantageous in durability. 

From the outer appearance, this puppet's body looked like a sci-fi white-colored robot made out of plastic. 

"This puppet isn't durable at all, a casual attack from a mid-stage Qi Condensation Realm cultivator can tear it apart." Jun shook his head dejectedly. 

However, it was also true that this type of puppet was not designed to fight in close range, but in mid and long range. 

Without further ado, Jun kept on making the puppets. 

After 12 days, Jun finally succeeded in making 7 more puppets. 

In total, he had succeeded in making 8 puppets that could be used right now. 

A total of 8 puppets which look like a small troop of alien robots prepared to go to war. 

[Puppet: Typhoon Tamer Puppet] 

[Grade: Grade 1 high-level]

[Skill: Raging Typhoon (Mortal grade high-level), Waving Daggers (Mortal grade mid-level)] 

[Durability: 40/40] 

This puppet had its own flaws, however, as long as someone else can bear the attacks for them, it will work like a miracle. 

Even though [Raging Typhoon] can be used to defend and attack, its defensive abilities are close to none. 

That's why, puppets like [Earth-Armored Puppet] are needed to defend these [Typhoon Tamer Puppet] types of puppet. 

'There's no need to do everything myself. If my puppets can use offensive skills against those beasts, others should be able to defend from them.' 

Jun was thinking about those other cultivators from the Chen family. 

After all, Jun was going to deal with the beast wave with the support of the Chen Family. 

After completing his current task, he came out of the room. 

As soon as he came out of the room, he saw Hua Zhenyi serving tea to a scholarly man. 

This scholarly man was sitting leisurely on Jun's recliner chair, while peacefully sipping his tea. 

"Zhenyi!" Jun called out. 

Hua Zhenyi noticed his arrival and was elated after seeing him. 

Not only Hua Zhenyi, but the scholarly man also noticed Jun's arrival, but he chose to ignore him. 

"Master, you are finally out." 

For some reason, Hua Zhenyi was overjoyed after seeing Jun. 

These past few days Jun had been manufacturing puppets, the shop had been closed, so she should be taking a rest. 

But from the looks of it, she was receiving another guest whom Jun had no idea about. 

"Who's this person?" Jun asked with narrowed eyes. 

"This is Wisdom Cultivator Qin Wu. When you went into seclusion, this senior came to look for you, however after knowing that you can not meet him, he decided to wait here in the shop." 

These words from Hua Zhenyi explained it all.

Hua Zhenyi called him 'Senior' and 'Wisdom Cultivator', which means that she could not refuse him to wait for Jun in the shop.

Hence, she had no choice but to let the man wait in the shop until Jun came out. 

Either way, offending this man is not something Jun or Hua Zhenyi can afford right now. 

"May I know why you have come to look for me, Senior?" Jun cupped his fist respectfully. 

Qin Wu turned his head and sized up Jun curiously. 

"So, you are Shop Owner Jun?" 

"Yes, that's me." 

"I have heard a lot about you. From what I can see, all those rumors seem to be true." 

Qin Wu raised his chin and stroked his beard with a pleased expression. 

"Thank you for your compliment." Jun thanked him with a polite smile. 

"What are you thanking me for, those rumors aren't compliments young man." Qin Wu started to laugh out loud. 

"Then?" Jun raised his eyebrows. 

"The last rumor I heard about you, was that you have a weird fetish for sniffing feet?" Qin Wu looked amused instead of being disgusted. 

"What? It must be those jealous people spreading these kinds of rumors about me." Jun gritted his teeth. 

How did they know about my... Ahem! how dare they spread fake rumors about me

Jun assumed that it must be the work of those small-time shops who are jealous due to Jun's recent development. 

"Haha... don't worry about that, not many people choose to believe in these kinds of rumors. As for those who are spreading these rumors..." 

Qin Wu smiled slightly and continued, "You should forget about finding them, it's a waste of time. There are two things common in rumors and fire. Do you know what it is?" 

Qin Wu looked curiously and leaned closer. 

"Both of them spread fast and as for the other one, I don't know." 

 "The first one is correct, as for the other, it's just that nobody admits to having started it." Qin Wu stretched his hand and yawned. 

"That's true, but you still haven't told me about the purpose of your visit for today." Jun chuckled nervously. 

"Yeah right, I seem to have forgotten about the main thing." 

Qin Wu continued, "I heard that you have an 'Illusory Space Array' with an array core. Is that true?" 

Qin Wu leaned back on the chair and casually started to sip his tea. 

Jun was stunned for a moment, it turned out that this scholarly man was here to buy his array. 

"You have heard the right thing." Jun nodded while maintaining a smile. 

"That's good then, I would like to buy it from you. Tell me your price." 

Jun furrowed his eyebrows, he didn't like this attitude at all. 

This scholarly man looked so sure that Jun would sell his array. 

Although Jun really was planning to sell the array because he wanted to expand his arena and allow Foundation Establishment Cultivators to take part in it. 

However, this scholar shouldn't know about it, which means Jun will have to raise the price while acting like he is trying to get into the good books of this scholar. 

"That's a little too hard for me to do. You should know very well how rare these types of arrays are. 

If I were to sell it to you, I would have to bear some losses myself." 

Jun stopped and glanced at Qin Wu's displeased expression. "However..."
