"Close relationship?"

Feng Wuchen slightly furrowed his brows.

Ren Tianxing respectfully replied, "Yang Wei has known Mu Honglian for many years. Yang Wei spends most of his time here, and he has brought me here a few times. Generally, he discusses anything with Mu Honglian."

"Who is Mu Honglian? A shopkeeper with a Six-Star Divine King level must have some background," Feng Wuchen asked curiously.

"I'm not sure of her origins. No one in Moyun City dares to offend her, and no one wants to investigate her background," Ren Tianxing shook his head.

"Feng sir, Bai Lin likely already knows about the Soul Bone, and surely suspects the death of Sen Luo protector is related to us. What should we do? They're likely to go back and bring in powerful allies," Ren Tianxing asked anxiously.

"Don't rush, observe the changes quietly. You all come with me to the chamber of commerce; I'll give you some things," Feng Wuchen said.

Just as Feng Wuchen's group left, Mu Honglian walked out.

"Who is he? I've never seen him. He seems to know Shuiyun Palace and hides deeply, even my Profound Dao Eye can't discern him," Mu Honglian frowned and pondered, her beautiful eyes watching Feng Wuchen.

"Should we investigate?" A respectful and hoarse voice sounded by Mu Honglian's ear.

"Don't alert him; this person is not simple. He is likely that mysterious figure," Mu Honglian communicated telepathically.

...

"Feng sir!"

As Feng Wuchen entered the chamber of commerce, the guards respectfully saluted.

"Feng sir!" Xu Feng quickly came forward and bowed respectfully.

"Bing Shuang, could you fetch some writing materials?" Feng Wuchen looked at Bing Shuang and said.

"Yes, Feng sir!" Bing Shuang quickly brought the writing materials.

Feng Wuchen swiftly listed some materials and handed the list to Xu Feng, saying, "These are all low-level materials; the chamber of commerce should have them. Get three sets of each."

"This is..." Xu Feng took the list, looked at it for a moment, and was suddenly shocked, "These are materials for crafting runes!"

Although Xu Feng was not an Inscription Master, he was very familiar with rune crafting materials.

"Crafting runes?" Bing Shuang, Ren Tianxing, and others exclaimed, widening their eyes at Feng Wuchen.

Could Feng Wuchen be an Inscription Master?

This thought simultaneously crossed Xu Feng and others' minds.

"We have all the materials; I'll grab them right away!" Xu Feng took a deep breath and hurriedly went to prepare the materials.

Feng Wuchen's group went to wait at Xu Feng's residence meanwhile.

Xu Feng brought back three sets of each material according to Feng Wuchen's list.

"Feng sir, all the materials you requested are here," Xu Feng said respectfully, suppressing his wildly beating heart.

"Feng sir, can you craft runes?" Ren Tianxing asked, trying to contain his shock.

"Is it that strange?" Feng Wuchen retorted, as he activated soul power and summoned Wu Fire.

"Inscription Master, Alchemist!" Ren Tianxing and others exclaimed simultaneously.

Xu Feng incredulously asked, "Feng sir, when you checked the rune materials the other day, was it to craft runes?"

"The materials for crafting Divine Grade runes are quite similar. Based on my experience crafting Divine Grade runes, it should be no problem," Feng Wuchen ignored their astonishment and began checking the properties of the materials.

He then gestured, causing the rune crafting materials to fly to his palm.

His hand movements swiftly changed, forming intricate seals.

Although it was Feng Wuchen's first time crafting a rune from the Divine Realm, despite some material deviations, his previous experience did not hinder him.

Sure enough, within just a few minutes, Feng Wuchen successfully crafted the first Divine General level rune.

"Divine General level rune!" Seeing the golden rune in Feng Wuchen's palm, Xu Feng and Ren Tianxing once again exclaimed, their eyes almost popping out.

"High-grade Divine General level rune! It's actually a high-grade Divine General level rune!" Xu Feng was dumbfounded.

"This... this is simply a genius alchemist!" Ren Tianxing exclaimed.

"Crafting a high-grade Divine General level rune makes one a genius alchemist?" Feng Wuchen retorted in surprise.

"Feng sir, I mean you possess dual identities—an Alchemist and an Inscription Master," Ren Tianxing explained.

"This rune can hide your presence. I need you to secretly watch Mu Honglian and hopefully uncover her background, but don't alert her," Feng Wuchen said solemnly before handing the rune to Ren Tianxing.

"Rest assured, Feng sir," Ren Tianxing responded respectfully.

Feng Wuchen then crafted two more runes and gave them to Ren Tianxing.

...

"Shopkeeper, they indeed seem to be a group. They entered the chamber of commerce; we dared not follow for fear of alerting Gong Jingyan," a voice transmitted to Mu Honglian's ear in the tavern.

"Then watch him secretly; I want to know who he is and find out about the alchemy involved in crafting Shenxuan Powder," Mu Honglian communicated telepathically.

"Yes!" The respectful and hoarse voice replied.

"Any news on Yang Meier?" Mu Honglian asked.

"No information yet," the respectful and hoarse voice replied again.

"It's a pity we were a step late; otherwise, we'd know what happened. But no matter; with Wushuang Divine Palace involved, dealing with Yang Tianya is more than enough. Keep watch on that person and find out about their origins as soon as possible!" Mu Honglian communicated telepathically.

"This trick of using others is indeed clever, but that young man seems to have sensed something; his gaze when he left the tavern was quite unusual," the respectful hoarse voice replied.

"I'm merely curious about him. Whether or not he is the mysterious person who took down Sen Luo protector, he poses no threat to us, as we harbor no grievances against him," Mu Honglian communicated telepathically.

...

Star Soul Realm.

Wushuang Hall.

"Hall Master, the existence of the Soul Bone has been confirmed," Bai Lin reported respectfully in the hall.

"Who possesses the Soul Bone?" the Wushuang Hall Master inquired.

"It's with Yang Meier, but she is currently missing, and not only her, Shuiyun Palace's Young Master and Second Elder have also disappeared," Bai Lin respectfully responded.

"What is going on?" a Elder questioned.

"I haven't figured it out yet, but Yang Tianya claimed not to have the Soul Bone, clearly hiding something. These were the tavern's owner who told me; she is closely related to Yang Wei," Bai Lin respectfully stated.

"The tavern's owner?" The elders and high-ranking members were shocked.

Bai Lin said gravely, "This female shopkeeper named Mu Honglian, is at the Six-Star Divine King level. I feel her strength exceeds mine. She is definitely not just a shopkeeper."

"Who killed the Sen Luo protector?" The Wushuang Hall Master asked.

"The tavern's owner suspects it was a mysterious individual, but we don't know who yet. I dare not alert him and have come first to report, suspecting he may be the killer of the protector," Bai Lin reported respectfully.

"Tian Zu, go personally," the Wushuang Hall Master said coldly, as a fierce killing intent filled the hall.

"Yes, Hall Master!" A cold voice echoed through the hall.

"Bai Lin, you go along too! You must find out and bring back the person possessing the Soul Bone!" the Wushuang Hall Master ordered.
