“Unfortunately, this ring can’t break through its current grade unless it’s reforged and requires some additional materials,”

Master Nan became utterly focused when discussing artifact refining.

However, for Pei Jinye, having an A level sealed object upgraded to Super A Level was already an unexpected joy.

Originally, he just wanted to ask Master Nan to make some changes to his ring.

“Master Nan’s craftsmanship is superb, junior admires it a lot,” Pei Jinye praised sincerely, and indeed, it came from the heart.

With his own abilities, he absolutely couldn’t do the same.

As for whether a Second Rank Artificer had the ability to reach Master Nan’s level, Pei Jinye didn’t have an answer either.

But he was sure of one thing.

If those obsessed with martial arts are called martial fools, then Master Nan would be the fool of artifact refining.

He was obsessed with everything related to artifact refining.

And moreover…

Very strong!

This also made Pei Jinye’s intent to leave immediately lessen a bit.

Under the expectant gaze of the other party, Pei Jinye did not disappoint him and silently took out a silver stick.

“Would Master Nan take a look?”

Master Nan gladly accepted.

After entering the Refining Device Room, it wasn’t long before the sounds of a heavy hammer falling began to echo.

But it didn’t last long.

Suddenly, Master Nan opened the door and peeked out, “How do you want it modified?”

“Both ends should have Golden Cudgels, the middle part is made of black iron with stars laid out, next to the cudgels there should be an engraved line of text: ‘Ruyi Jingu Bang, weighs thirteen thousand five hundred catties.’ And it should have dense patterns and dragon and phoenix scripts,” Pei Jinye shamelessly stated.

Master Nan paused, as if encountering some tricky issue, silently reciting Pei Jinye’s request before retreating back into the room.

After a while, the door opened again and he couldn’t help asking, “Thirteen thousand five hundred catties?”

Pei Jinye brazenly said, “I was born with great strength.”

Master Nan expressed understanding.

He took out some black Xuan stones with an exceptionally solid texture from his own cabinet and hurried back into the Refining Device Room.

From afternoon until nightfall.

Pei Jinye wasn’t bothered.

Master Nan had already entered the Refining Device Room and got absorbed in tempering.

Pei Jinye thus meditated on the side, continuing to recover his vitality.

With a “whoosh”.

The room door skillfully opened.

Pei Jinye opened his eyes and looked over, Master Nan was frowning, calculating something.

“Twenty catties of Heixuan, ten catties of Luminous Stone… plus a three to one ratio… no, this isn’t enough,” he murmured.

“What do you need, just tell me,” Pei Jinye wasn’t about to take advantage without giving anything in return.

“Right now, we still need another ten catties of Luminous Stone.”

“Are they available in the market?”

“The trade house should have some.”

“I’ll go buy it.”

Pei Jinye left decisively.

Master Nan hurried into the Refining Device Room again to lower the temperature of the fire.

Soon.

The sound of the heavy hammer falling echoed once more.

Under the night sky.

The faint light flickered.

Continuing straight down the street, Pei Jinye identified a trade house.

The peculiar thing was.

This trade house, despite its luxurious appearance, had very few customers.

Pei Jinye pushed open the door.

The wind chime on the door made a “ding-dong” sound.

As a master of hypnosis, Pei Jinye was extremely sensitive to such sounds.

He lifted his gaze.

In front of the counter stood a young woman with black hair in a black coat looking at him as if her pupils were also black, harboring a bit of excitement and expectation at this moment.

“Hello, welcome! How may I service you?” she inquired.

“Hi, do you have Luminous Stone?”

“Yes,” the black-haired woman affirmed, then hesitated slightly, “I remember… we should have it.”

She pulled the wind chime.

Suddenly, the ground trembled.

Pei Jinye turned his head to look.

In the corner, a huge Fierce Tiger bewilderedly lifted its head, having just caused the commotion by getting up.

“Don’t be afraid, DouDou won’t bite,” the black-haired woman hastened to explain to Pei Jinye.

Pei Jinye now understood why this store had so few customers.

He nodded slightly without saying a word, standing still.

The black-haired woman gave an apologetic smile before gesturing to the large tiger about Luminous Stone.

The Fierce Tiger quickly left.

Before long.

The Fierce Tiger returned, mouth holding a large iron chest that fell to the ground.

The landing kicked up a ring of dust.

The black-haired woman hurriedly used a broom to settle the dust, anxious that Pei Jinye, her only customer, might leave and quickly said, “How much do you need? I can give you a discount—”

“I’ll take all of it,” Pei Jinye said.

The black-haired woman seemed not to have heard clearly, turning her head back with a doubtful look, “How much?”

“How much of a discount can you give?” Pei Jinye asked, as if he hadn’t heard the woman’s question.

“Um…” The black-haired woman hesitated but, worried about scaring Pei Jinye away, quickly said, “If you buy it all, I’ll give you… a 25% discount!”

“25% off?”

“75% discount!”

“That works.”

Pei Jinye looked down at the chest, estimating it to be over forty catties. If it was too much, he would just leave it at Master Nan’s shop.

Whether he used it for forging in the future or left it for Master Nan himself, Pei Jinye wouldn’t mind.

The black-haired woman’s eyes brightened immediately as Pei Jinye agreed.

“Luminous Stone, 50,000 per catty, totaling 43 catties, comes to 2.15 million, and with a 25% discount, that’s 1.6125 million…” she said, blinking at Pei Jinye.

When Pei Jinye was silent,

The black-haired woman quickly added, “We can round down, I’ll charge you 1.61 million.”

Pei Jinye hadn’t expected it to be so much money.

He had been impulsive…

And he didn’t actually carry that much cash on him.
