Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill Chapter 1177 - 519: Celestial Patrol Ship
Moreover, having Li Yunjing provide some of the materials himself can also alleviate the pressure on the Celestial Craft Hall. If he truly manages to gather them, it would be a good thing for the Celestial Craft Hall.
"Of course, this is merely a preliminary quote."
"The specifics will depend on how many materials you can provide and the extent of your involvement in the refining process."
Fu Lingfeng smiled, his eyes carrying a hint of cunning, as he awaited Li Yunjing’s response.
"Uh..."
After listening to Fu Lingfeng, Li Yunjing was dumbfounded. Another thirty thousand High Grade Spirit Stones?
When the Hall Master started speaking, he seemed quite generous, even gifting him a Tier Four Magical Treasure. How did he become so mercenary?
He was like a different person altogether!
"I have the dragon scales!"
However, since the initiative was in Fu Lingfeng’s hands, Li Yunjing had no right to argue. He could only grit his teeth and retrieve all the scale armor from the Tier Four Ice Dragon from his "Storage Ring!"
"What!"
Fu Lingfeng’s teacup paused just before reaching his lips as his eyes fell upon the ice dragon’s scale armor.
The scales exuded a faint blue cold light, with intricate ice crystal patterns on their surfaces. Each piece radiated the unique, formidable aura of a Tier Four Demon Beast, piled up on the ground like a small iceberg.
"This... these are the scales of a Tier Four Ice Dragon?"
His pupils contracted violently, his knuckles whitening slightly from the force, "Three thousand pieces! Is it a complete dragon corpse?"
Fu Lingfeng stood up, accidentally overturning his chair, and hurried to the small ice mountain in three rapid strides.
A ball of South Ming Separation Fire rose from his palm, cautiously reaching towards the scales. As the fire touched the chill, there was a sizzling explosive sound, turning into blue smoke and dissipating.
"Unbelievable..."
He murmured to himself, the shock in his eyes gradually replaced by ecstasy, "With these scales, the material gap for the dragon scale armor is directly filled! The price..."
He suddenly turned to look at Li Yunjing, his Adam’s apple bobbing up and down, "The price can be reduced by another thirty percent!"
Li Yunjing observed Fu Lingfeng’s hands trembling with excitement, inwardly clicking his tongue.
The previously steady-as-a-mountain Hall Master now seemed like a child who had seen a rare treasure.
"Alright! So it’s twenty thousand High Grade Spirit Stones?"
Li Yunjing didn’t hesitate, directly taking out a dozen "Hundred Treasures Pouches" and tossing out two million Middle Grade Spirit Stones!
"Uh..."
Like the two Elders from the "Treasure Pavilion," Fu Lingfeng shook his head wryly at the sight of Li Yunjing’s payment, thinking to himself that this kid really knows how to drive a hard bargain!
You know, this price is low!
Li Yunjing at least saved twenty million Middle Grade Spirit Stones!
But considering Li Yunjing’s bright future, Fu Lingfeng could only accept the one-to-one hundred exchange rate.
Fu Lingfeng took a deep breath, suppressing his surging emotions, and with a wave of his sleeve, collected all the scales.
He looked at the pile of Spirit Stones on the table in front of Li Yunjing, suddenly laughing brightly: "Good! This little one sure knows how not to lose out!"
The laughter resounded in the secret chamber, making the hanging Treasure Artifacts hum, "So be it, I’ll bet on you, young man!"
He flicked his fingers, sending out a stream of Golden Light, outlining the silhouette of a contract in the air: "Twenty thousand High Grade Spirit Stones, the ’Celestial Craft Hall’ accepts this deal! However, during the refining period, you must come to the Celestial Craft Hall daily to assist, both as supervision and for you to learn some artifact refining techniques."
Before his voice had even faded, the words on the contract transformed into a glow and entered Li Yunjing’s forehead, "This contract is bound by the Divine Soul, just rest assured and wait to receive the Treasure Ship!"
"Understood!"
Li Yunjing’s expression was solemn as he raised his hand to press on the contract’s projection.
He calculated to himself, despite paying a huge price, having the opportunity to observe the "Celestial Craft Hall’s" artifact refining secrets up close, this deal was still a guaranteed profit.
He also realized that this was Fu Lingfeng’s way of taking care of him!
Try asking someone else?
Not to mention whether they could even meet Fu Lingfeng, would any other Elders bother with you?
The people at the "Celestial Craft Hall" are all artifact refining maniacs, each busier than the last. Who are you?
Coming here to ask us to refine an artifact?
What nerve do you have?
It’s like those Array Masters at "Seven Stars Peak," everyone is busy, and suddenly someone comes and requests help setting up an array, who wouldn’t be upset by that?
Li Yunjing was in no hurry to leave and decided to stay directly on "Celestial Craft Peak."
As for the Sect Leader Venerable’s task?
Three months didn’t make much difference; the Sect Leader didn’t set a time limit because it was certain that no immediate negative consequences would occur.
There is enough time for Li Yunjing to complete the task.
"Alright!"
Fu Lingfeng formed a seal with both hands, and suddenly enormous array patterns appeared on the floor of the secret chamber, seventy-two shadows of Pill Furnaces becoming faintly visible in the formation: "Issue my order, begin the refining of the ’Celestial Patrol Ship’ at once!"
His voice reached the ears of the two Elders outside the door as the Hall Master called out, "Elder Xu, retrieve the ’Meteorite Sand,’ Black-Robed Elder Ghost, gather the artifact refiners!"
"In three days, I want to see the warship’s dragon skeleton form!"
"Yes!"
The two Elders outside the door were momentarily stunned, then quickly reacted, saluting towards the empty space, and hastily left.
"This is the ’Celestial Craft Hall’s’ Artifact Refining Order, and with this, you can harness the power of earth fire."
Fu Lingfeng pulled out a token engraved with starry patterns from his sleeve and tossed it to Li Yunjing.
His gaze swept over Li Yunjing, speaking with deep meaning: "Tomorrow during 7 a.m. to 9 a.m., you will also participate. I am curious to see what progress you will make in crafting Treasure Artifacts."
"Yes! Disciple understands!"
Li Yunjing respectfully bowed, inwardly marveling that Fu Lingfeng was indeed nurturing him!
...
The next morning, during 7 a.m. to 9 a.m., Li Yunjing, with the "Artifact Refining Order" in hand, stepped into the core refining area of the "Celestial Craft Hall."
At this moment, the Eight Trigrams Array composed of seventy-two Pill Furnaces was fully activated, and crimson flames soared into the sky, intertwining in mid-air to form a giant dragon spitting out fire tongues.
