Elder Zhao, emboldened by a secret message, defies Shen Han and Xiao Feifei to proceed with a duel against Ye Chenfeng. Shen Han and Xiao Feifei’s intervention escalates the situation into a conflict between two factions within the Soul Instrument Pavilion, with Duan Yan and Liu Tongshi supporting Elder Zhao. Ye Chenfeng proposes a duel to refine an Eighth Grade weapon, astonishing everyone when a testing stele confirms him as an Eighth Grade Artifact Refiner, seemingly sealing Elder Zhao’s fate before the duel even begins.

Everyone present was plunged into shock.

No one expected that Ye Chenfeng was actually an Eighth Grade Artifact Refiner? Although this stele could only test up to the Eighth Grade, they naturally assumed Ye Chenfeng was of the Eighth Grade, and wouldn’t think that Ye Chenfeng was of the Ninth Grade, or even a Supreme Artifact Refiner.

It must be understood that Ye Chenfeng’s aura was indeed very young, being under a thousand years old, with his cultivation reaching the Initial Stage of the Divine Emperor Realm, and his artifact refining skill reaching the Eighth Grade, this was already an incredibly unbelievable feat.

Especially knowing that Ye Chenfeng was an Alchemist, Shen Xiutian, the Nanshan Old Demon, and others were even more tumultuous inside, originally convinced that Ye Chenfeng couldn’t possibly be an Artifact Refiner, only to be proven wrong?

The Nanshan Old Demon transmitted to Shen Xiutian: "What grade is our benefactor as an Alchemist?"

He unconsciously also referred to Ye Chenfeng as benefactor.

Shen Xiutian had only transmitted that Ye Chenfeng was an Alchemist, without mentioning his specific grade.

Shen Xiutian answered woodenly using transmission, originally intending to transmit only to the Nanshan Old Demon, but perhaps due to being too shocked, he accidentally included Fang Duo’er and Song Lanruo in the transmission: "The benefactor is a Supreme Alchemist."

Alchemy and artifact refining mastered together!

A Supreme Alchemist and an Eighth Grade Artifact Refiner?

With cultivation still at the Initial Stage of the Divine Emperor Realm?

How exactly did Ye Chenfeng achieve this?

Shen Xiutian and the Nanshan Old Demon were plunged into endless astonishment, their gaze on Ye Chenfeng standing calmly and confidently on the high platform, now understanding why Ye Chenfeng had remained so calm from start to finish!

Shen Han and Xiao Feifei’s eyes were a bit dull, they completely didn’t expect this result, that Ye Chenfeng was also an Eighth Grade Artifact Refiner like them?

A moment later.

Finally snapping back to reality, Shen Han became even more interested in Ye Chenfeng, his warmth growing more evident: "Friend, you truly are deep and unfathomable! I, Shen Han, have never admired anyone, but you indeed make me admire you, your age should be younger than mine, yet you reached the Initial Stage of the Divine Emperor Realm at such a young age, with an Eighth Grade artifact refining level, I fear there’s no second person like you in the entire Divine Origin Realm."

Although Xiao Feifei said nothing, the sparkle in her beautiful eyes showed her intrigue toward Ye Chenfeng.

Elder Wang, covered in blood, finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Ye Chenfeng as an Eighth Grade Artifact Refiner, such a character would undoubtedly be among the elite in the Upper World someday! He was extremely grateful he had proactively shown goodwill towards Ye Chenfeng yesterday, profoundly thankful to him, even secretly swearing that from now on, his life belonged to Ye Chenfeng, willing to risk life and limb for him.

Duan Yan and Liu Tongshi’s expressions were unsightly, Ye Chenfeng’s excellence completely surpassed their expectations, if Ye Chenfeng joined Shen Han’s side, it would be extremely detrimental to their faction, and they had already become enemies with Ye Chenfeng, making it impossible for him to join their side, so they must completely cripple Ye Chenfeng.

Duan Yan spoke: "Elder Zhao is only a Seventh Rank Artifact Refiner, and yet you want to refine something that an Eighth Rank Artifact Refiner can, isn’t this obviously unfair? In my opinion, everyone should simultaneously refine something a Seventh Rank Artifact Refiner can, a Lower Grade treasured artifact, to determine victory, that’s the fairest."

Upon hearing Duan Yan’s words.

Shen Han and Xiao Feifei immediately glared coldly, Shen Han shouted: "Duan Yan, don’t you think you’re being shameless? Just now you surely thought this friend wasn’t an Artifact Refiner, yet after finding out he’s an Eighth Rank Artifact Refiner, you still play such tricks, don’t you think it’s too low-key?"

Liu Tongshi said: "Shen Han, don’t blame us, it was you who first wanted to break the rules of the Soul Instrument Pavilion, we’re only discussing the matter itself, letting a Seventh Rank Artifact Refiner compete against an Eighth Rank Artifact Refiner to refine a Middle Grade treasured artifact, something a Seventh Rank Artifact Refiner can’t do, what’s the point of such a contest?"

Elder Zhao, initially in shock, snapped back after hearing Duan Yan and Liu Tongshi’s words, and yelled at Ye Chenfeng: "If you’re capable, compete with me to refine a Lower Grade treasured artifact, you hid your refining level, how despicable!"

Ye Chenfeng shrugged indifferently at Elder Zhao’s outburst, from the start no one had asked about his refining level, everyone just assumed he wasn’t an Artifact Refiner, and now they accuse him of being despicable?

As things were dragging on unresolved, Ye Chenfeng had lost patience, coldly staring at Elder Zhao: "Are you sure you want to compete with me in refining Lower Grade treasured artifacts? Are you certain you won’t regret it?"

Then Ye Chenfeng looked at Duan Yan and Liu Tongshi, saying: "Both of you, some random nobodies, are you also sure you won’t regret it?"

Elder Zhao questioned: "So you’re saying you agree?"

Duan Yan shouted: "Kid, don’t get too complacent, if you agree, no one will go back on their word then."

"Good, we can begin refining now." Ye Chenfeng said calmly.

Shen Han and Xiao Feifei couldn’t stop it in time.

As long as various grades of weapons are refined on this high platform, the better the quality of the weapon refined, the more resonances it will have with the platform.

In the same grade, such as Lower Grade treasured artifacts.

Upon completing the refining, generating one to three resonances can only belong to normal quality within the Lower Grade treasured artifacts; generating four to six resonances can be said to be of medium quality; generating seven to nine resonances can be said to be of high quality; and producing ten continuous resonances can be considered a perfect existence of that grade.

Usually reaching perfection is very difficult.

A Seventh Rank Artifact Refiner can refine Lower Grade treasured artifacts, while an Eighth Rank Artifact Refiner can definitely refine a Lower Grade treasured artifact, but cannot guarantee the quality of the refined Lower Grade treasured artifact.

Sometimes, an Eighth Rank Artifact Refiner’s refined Lower Grade treasured artifact might not be as good as one refined by a Seventh Rank Artifact Refiner, this is also possible.

Elder Zhao left Ye Chenfeng with no retreat, feeling confident about refining Lower Grade treasured artifacts, knowing many Eighth Rank Artifact Refiners whose refined Lower Grade treasured artifacts might not even be as good as his.

He casually pulled out two identical sets of materials from his storage ring, flicking one set to Ye Chenfeng: "Let’s refine a longsword reaching the Lower Grade treasured artifact level, I’ll start refining first, and let you know who will regret it?"

With those words.

Elder Zhao immediately began refining.
