Therefore, over the past decade or so, the once poor village has become more and more prosperous on the surface, and even has the rudiments of a city, but the Yuan family has been dragged down badly. Not only has it failed to benefit from it, but it has even been unable to make ends meet.
Fortunately, Yuan Tianbo had an idea and came up with the idea of holding the Stone Appreciation Conference. He took advantage of the gambler mentality of many people who wanted to get rich overnight and made some money, which allowed the mine to survive. Otherwise, the Yuan family would have wanted to close the mine.
Yuan Tianbo also regained the family's attention because of the revival of the meteorite gold mine, and his status was even higher than before. This time, he came to Xiaochi City for an inspection as the acting head of the family.
Usually, this means that he is officially appointed as the young master of the Yuan family. As long as his grandfather dies and then his father dies, he will be able to take over the position of head of the family. Of course, if he performs better, it may not be surprising for him to skip his father and take over the position of head of the family directly from his grandfather.
When Yuan Tianbo arrived at Xiaochi City at this time, he was naturally in high spirits and full of confidence, but he did not expect to meet Mu Hanyan.
For the past six months, every encounter with Mu Hanyan had been a nightmare for him, so the sight of that familiar figure had him trembling with fear. Subconsciously, Yuan Tianbo was about to turn and leave. This guy was a jinx, bringing bad luck every time he saw him. It would be better to pretend he hadn't seen him and stay as far away from him as possible.
"Young Master, do you know those people?" The man next to Yuan Tianbo was also staring in the direction of Mu Hanyan and the others, and asked after hearing Yuan Tianbo's words.
The man was about fifty years old, with a Shanyang beard and a thin body, but his eyes were bright and sharp, making him look extremely shrewd.
His name is Yao Guangcheng, and he is the mine manager hired by the Yuan family at a high price. Although he is not good-looking and has an ordinary name, he is a well-known alchemist with great experience in identifying and mining meteorite gold mines, so he is highly valued by the Yuan family.
"The one in front is called Mu Hanyan, my old rival. That guy is a jinx, and nothing good will happen if you meet him." Yuan Tianbo said with a gloomy look on his face.
"What about the one behind?" Yao Guangcheng asked, pointing behind Mu Hanyan, his eyes shining even more brightly.
"Which one?" Yuan Tianbo looked at Yan Yuchu and the others who were following Mu Hanyan like followers. He only knew Mu Cheng, but he didn't know who Yao Guangcheng was asking about.
"The man carrying the box." Yao Guangcheng said.
"Him, his name is Mu Cheng, a small character in the Mu family. He used to be a sworn enemy of Mu Hanyan. Recently, he has lost his mind and has become his follower. He has no ambition." Yuan Tianbo said with contempt.
"Just a follower? His status is even lower than Mu Hanyan?" Yao Guangcheng asked with some surprise.
"Yes, in the entire Black Stone City, only I, Yuan Tianbo, am qualified to be an opponent of Mu Hanyan. We are of equal status. Others are nothing." In front of outsiders, Yuan Tianbo would of course flatter himself.
"That's strange." Yao Guangcheng said thoughtfully.
"What's so strange?" Yuan Tianbo looked at Yao Guangcheng in confusion.
"The box he carries on his back is definitely not ordinary. Based on my decades of experience in alchemy, it is definitely made by a master alchemist. Moreover, it is very likely related to a legendary artifact." Yao Guangcheng said thoughtfully.
"What, a magical weapon? Haha, stop joking. Mu Cheng is just Mu Hanyan's lackey now. What kind of magical weapon can he have?" Yuan Tianbo suddenly paused when he said this. It was impossible for Mu Cheng to have any magical weapon, but Mu Hanyan was different. He was a direct descendant of the Mu family in the capital, and he had made a great success recently. Maybe he would regain the attention of the main family in the capital, and he might be rewarded with a magical weapon.
"What magic weapon are you talking about?" Thinking of this, Yuan Tianbo was no longer in a hurry to hide, but asked curiously.
