Chapter 65: Chapter 65: Take Me to See Him Immediately
"Learned some basics from the Immortal?"
Zuo Qingyang and the other two were once again shocked, their hearts nearly leaping out.
Gu Chenfeng only learned some basics, yet dared to assert that the chief artifact refiner of the Artifact Refining Pavilion used too little Golden Copper Sand and too much Wind Spirit Stone?
Gu Chenfeng’s courage was truly extraordinary!
Seeing the shock on the faces of Zuo Qingyang and the others, Gu Chenfeng smiled faintly and said, "Senior Brother, don’t worry, the chief artifact refiner will soon emerge."
At this moment.
In the artifact refining room behind the hall.
Outside the artifact refining room, a maid was walking back and forth anxiously, fearing to speak and disrupt.
Gu Chenfeng was not an artifact refiner, and the maid did not fully believe what he had just said.
It was precisely because of this that the maid felt both anxious and uneasy.
"What should I do? Should I speak or not? If I don’t say something, the chief artifact refining elder might really fail to refine it."
"But if I do speak, it will certainly disrupt the chief artifact refining elder’s work, and he’s not an artifact refiner, what he says might not be credible."
The more the maid thought about it, the more anxious she became, sweat forming in her palms.
However.
Just as the maid found it difficult to decide.
A sudden explosion rang out from within the artifact refining room, a terrifying energy ripple surged forth, accompanied by billowing black smoke.
"Refining failed!" The maid was utterly shocked.
Soon thereafter.
A black-robed old man, coughing severely, rushed out of the smoky artifact refining room, completely blackened by the smoke, with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, utterly disheveled.
The black-robed old man was none other than the chief artifact refiner of the Artifact Refining Pavilion, Xiao Hanfeng.
"Chief, are you alright?" The maid hurried forward to ask.
"I’m fine." Xiao Hanfeng shook his head slightly, looking at the smoky artifact refining room, he smiled wryly: "Ah, failed again, almost cost this old man’s life; refining Wind Attribute Spiritual Artifact is truly not easy."
The maid hesitated, then gathered her courage and said: "Chief, someone just informed me to tell the chief that the Soul Power and timing were not the issue in refining the Wind Attribute Spiritual Artifact, but the refining materials could not merge, thus it could not be crafted."
"That’s right!" Xiao Hanfeng nodded repeatedly and said: "After the refining materials were tempered, no matter what method I used, they wouldn’t merge."
As the words fell.
Xiao Hanfeng’s old face shook, and he quickly asked: "Xin Yue, who informed you? What else did he say?"
"What he said was true." Xin Yue was internally in turmoil but hurriedly said aloud: "Chief, he also mentioned that you used too little Golden Copper Sand and too much Wind Spirit Stone; wind attribute is the Power of Heaven and Earth, not something Wind Spirit Stone can supplement."
"Too little Golden Copper Sand? Too much Wind Spirit Stone?" Xiao Hanfeng was initially stunned, then deeply furrowed his brows and sank into contemplation.
Seeing Xiao Hanfeng deep in thought, Xin Yue dared not disrupt.
Who knows how much time had passed.
Xiao Hanfeng furrowed his old brows, puzzled: "Although Golden Copper Sand helps in merging during refining, it absorbs the wind attribute of the Demon Core; if used excessively, how can Wind Attribute Spiritual Artifact be refined?"
"Wind Spirit Stone possesses pure wind attribute power; it is the best treasure for refining Wind Attribute Spiritual Artifact, why say I used too much? Must it be Heaven and Earth’s wind attribute?"
Xiao Hanfeng was utterly baffled.
Looking towards Xin Yue on the side, Xiao Hanfeng asked: "Xin Yue, do you know who he is?"
"I don’t know, I’ve never met them." Xin Yue shook her head and continued: "But he seems only sixteen years old and isn’t an artifact refiner."
"Sixteen years old? Not an artifact refiner?" Xiao Hanfeng was completely bewildered.
A sixteen-year-old youth, not an artifact refiner, knew he was refining a Wind Attribute Spiritual Artifact without witnessing it firsthand and could discern about the Golden Copper Sand and Wind Spirit Stone.
"How is this possible?" Xiao Hanfeng was immensely shocked: "Even if he’s not an artifact refiner, even if he were, they could never know what Spiritual Artifact I am refining without seeing it personally."
In shock, Xiao Hanfeng hurriedly said: "Xin Yue, quickly take me to meet him!"
Glancing at Xiao Hanfeng, completely blackened and disheveled, Xin Yue whispered: "Chief, are you going like this?"
"Forget appearances, quickly take me to meet him." Xiao Hanfeng couldn’t wait, urgently needing to understand the situation.
Refining Wind Attribute Spiritual Artifact was extremely difficult.
Encountering someone who might know the Refining Technique was rare, Xiao Hanfeng was determined not to miss this opportunity and needed to meet Gu Chenfeng immediately.
Soon thereafter.
Xiao Hanfeng and Xin Yue arrived on the second floor.
Seeing Xiao Hanfeng entirely blackened and disheveled, Zuo Qingyang and the others were once more stunned.
Observing Xiao Hanfeng, Gu Chenfeng thought to himself: "Failure in refining, must be quite unbearable; he truly deserves to be the chief artifact refiner, not only a Sixth Grade refiner but also a Soul Emergence Stage expert."
Bai Tu couldn’t contain his shock: "Junior Brother actually predicted correctly, the chief artifact refiner failed in refining! It’s similar to when Qiushui Uncle failed in alchemy."
Liu Qingqing trembled and said: "The chief is actually out..."
Xin Yue respectfully said: "Chief, he’s the one who said it."
Xiao Hanfeng turned to Gu Chenfeng, then clasped his fists with a happy smile and asked: "I am Xiao Hanfeng; may I know how the young brother addresses himself?"
Seeing Xiao Hanfeng’s extremely courteous attitude, Zuo Qingyang and the others were extraordinarily shocked.
"Gu Chenfeng." Gu Chenfeng smiled slightly.
"Gu Chenfeng." Xiao Hanfeng nodded, then urgently asked: "Young brother, can you explain Golden Copper Sand and Wind Spirit Stone? In attempting to craft Wind Attribute Spiritual Artifact, I have failed countless times, unable to pass the first step."
"My understanding is limited; I hope young brother will explain in detail."
"Of course, that’s no issue." Gu Chenfeng readily agreed, then added with a smile: "However, before that, I need the chief to help my senior sister craft a Water Attribute Spiritual Jade Pendant."
"I’ve purchased all the refining materials, and the chief can take a look."
"Water Attribute Spiritual Jade Pendant?" Xiao Hanfeng was slightly surprised and then checked the refining materials selected by Gu Chenfeng.
He was caught off guard, and upon seeing them, he was greatly startled.
Xiao Hanfeng was immensely shocked: "Five hundred years Refined Iron, Centennial Profound Jade, Water Spirit Stone, Golden Copper Sand... such precise amounts, is he truly only sixteen years old?"
"Even Fourth- or Fifth-Grade artifact refiners might not be able to measure so precisely, and he selected the most premium Water Attribute Demon Core, is this young man truly not an artifact refiner?"
Xiao Hanfeng didn’t think much further, promptly agreeing with a smile: "No problem, I’ll start refining immediately, Xin Yue, refund the Crystal Stone to the young brother."
"Yes! Chief!" Xin Yue respectfully replied.
"Senior Brother, did I hear correctly? The chief artifact refiner actually helped with the refining!" Liu Qingqing widened her beautiful eyes in shock, almost unable to believe it.
"The chief artifact refiner also returned the Crystal Stone!" Bai Tu was in shock and awe.
