CHAPTER 515: FATE PUPPET.

Hao Ren and Fudge stood inside the Treasure vault, they were both discussing how the Saint of Forging Tang Zhen was a pain in neck after all the things that he did in his time. Hao Ren sighed and said, "Council Head Fudge, I swear to you, that had it not been for a condition that he set upon me, I had no intention of moving out of my home and wander around to perceive various artifact spirits."

Fudge smiled and said, "May be he saw something special in you, Grandmaster Ren."

Hao Ren waved his hand and then he looked at the Fate Puppet in the center as he asked, "How about I handle this? I can repair the micro formation marks that would solve the trouble."

Fudge thought for a bit and asked, "Had it been someone else telling me this thing, I might have spat in their faces, but you have already gained acknowledgement of the two spiritual artifacts so you do have the capital to back this claim."

Hao Ren smiled and replied, "Would you believe it if I told you that the Saint left behind something similar on the Hammer that he left behind?"

Fudge was surprised and after a few moments he said, "Fine. Go ahead then."

Hao Ren nodded and circled the puppet twice before he stood in front of the artifact and made a few hand seals. The speed of his hand seals were very quick. Fudge was shocked to see this. The young man took a deep breath and said, "San!"

The sound from his throat was so strong that it caused the void to ripple but it effectively stopped the arrays from creating the illusion. Hao Ren looked at Fudge and said, "Council Head, can you give me a few treasures, because these arrays, aren’t made from simple materials."

Fudge nodded and said, "The treasury is open for you. Take what you want but solve this problem for me."

Hao Ren looked at the man with some surprise on his face and realized that Fudge was different from other people. He nodded and thanked the man before moving around the treasury. It didn’t take him long to locate the treasures he needed, however, unlike his usual habit Hao Ren didn’t stuff his pockets, and the system said, ’Yo! Look who it is, the honest goblin Hao Ren.’

The young man rolled his eyes and said, ’Shut up.’

After the materials were collected, the young man made a few seals and used the Phoenix Flames to smelt them and refined the spiritual ink that was needed to repair the arrays. After the ink was refined, he stepped closer to the puppet and said, "Shu!"

The sound caused the puppet’s eyes to dim, and then Hao Ren began his repair work. Fudge was standing beside him silently the whole time. He was shocked to see the technique displayed by the young man. He had heard that Hao Ren was a master of all trades, but this level was something that evaded him.

The spiritual ink was distributed into thin wisps that was almost impossible to sense. Fudge had to use his special skills to sense the ink. He took a deep breath and didn’t say anything.

Hao Ren stood in the same position and repaired the garment with complete dedication. After a few hours, cold sweat began to appear on his forehead. It was not easy to achieve complete this task. Micro-array repair was even harder than refining a puppet that was equal to Xiao Mei.

After a few hours, Hao Ren shivered, and his spirit energy had been exhausted. He took a deep breath and sighed before looking at Fudge and said, "Council Head, I have finished repairing, try to trigger it again."

Fudge nodded and then he walked closer to the puppet, the beady eyes of the puppet gleamed but the illusion was not triggered. Fudge smiled so wide that his eyes turned into a crescent. He turned to embrace Hao Ren, and said, "Grandmaster Ren, you have solved the bane of my life. You have my eternal gratitude."

Hao Ren was taken aback by the sudden display of affection and patted Fudge on his back and replied, "Council Head, please calm down."

Fudge realized that he was in a very awkward position. He let go of Hao Ren and asked, "Grandmaster Ren, please tell me what do you wish for?"

The young man was surprised, and after composing himself, he asked, "What do you say to a trade?"

Fudge raised his brow and Hao Ren said, "I wonder if you have heard of my command over puppets?"

Fudge nodded and Hao Ren said, "Well, so what I am suggesting, is if I can refine a puppet that is higher in terms of function than this one, can you give this puppet to me? I have a feeling that this puppet can help me with my path as a refiner."

Fudge was surprised and looking at the puppet he took a deep breath and replied, "Fine, I will agree to this. However, Grandmaster Ren, can you show me the puppet first?"

Hao Ren nodded and said, "Give me a room, and I will refine a puppet for you in seven days."

Fudge found this request reasonable and said, "Alright, come with me."

Hao Ren came out of the treasury and the system said, *God damn, I didn’t expect you to be playing the long game? Bitch, you just swindled the man with a replacement treasure. How do you even work this math."

The young man retorted, ’Dog, you better shut up. I am doing what is necessary. That puppet has a technique engraved on it that could change the fate of a person. Now you better sit back like you do most of the time, and let daddy work.’

*Motherfucker, I dare you to call yourself Daddy, once more. I will give you a task that would make you beg to be my bitch.*

The system had become active after a long time and this time it was out for not just blood but Hao Ren’s soul.
