Chapter 2820: Chapter 2840: Distant Water Can’t Save A Nearby Fire

"What are you going to refine?"

"Well, it seems like a flying sword."

Lin Chen had obtained more than a thousand Crystal Scorpion Tail Stingers on Gathering Immortal Island and had yet to find a suitable opportunity to refine them. Firstly, because he himself was on a journey, and secondly, because the Crystal Scorpion Tail Stingers were extremely hard with very high melting points, average Artifact Refiners simply lacked the strength and the corresponding Artifact Refining Fire to smelt them.

Now that he had heard about the Master Refiner competition here, Lin Chen’s heart stirred immediately.

Heading over to the Red Immortal Domain next, no one knew what they would encounter, so it was better to be well-prepared and have something extra just in case.

The second day, Lin Chen and Gong Jianying got up early, left the Small Building, but as soon as they stepped out of the sect’s gate, a figure dashed through the sky like a streak of light, rapidly pursuing the two.

"Junior Sister Gong, wait a moment."

Hearing this voice, Gong Jianying involuntarily rolled her eyes because the owner of the voice was Wan Yan Jie.

It must have been Wan Yan Jie who made sure someone was watching her movements. As soon as she left, they immediately notified Wan Yan Jie, who then hurried over immediately.

Lin Chen raised his eyebrows, a smile filling his eyes.

It had to be said, observing such matters from the sidelines made them especially entertaining.

Wan Yan Jie landed in front of them, laughed and said, "Junior Sister, where are you heading, leaving without saying a word?"

Gong Jianying smiled politely, "Isn’t there a Master Refiner competition in Xuanbai Valley? There’s still some time before the Longevity banquet, so we’re planning to go check out the liveliness."

Wan Yan Jie laughed, "The Master Refiner competition, eh? Our Void Sect is the organizing party. Seeing as the two of you are so interested, I’ll accompany you there."

Gong Jianying had no way to refuse, considering she had already declined his company the day before. Then Wan Yan Jie had made comments like, ’My only task is to accompany Junior Sister well.’ To refuse again would basically be equivalent to turning hostile.

"Then we shall trouble Senior Brother."

Wan Yan Jie laughed, "Why be so polite? We’re not outsiders after all. Let’s go, I’ll lead the way."

The two became three, and after half a day’s journey, they arrived at Xuanbai Valley.

"The reason why the Master Refiner competition is held in Xuanbai Valley is because there’s a vein of Purple Fire ore beneath it. This naturally occurring Purple Fire just needs a bit of guiding to ignite and refine implements."

"Although Purple Fire may not be considered top-tier Artifact Refining Fire, its quality can be regarded as first-class, far more powerful than the Earth Core Fire used by the vast majority of Artifact Refiners in the world."

"Our Void Sect is not only offering rich prizes for this Master Refiner competition, but also promises that as long as one achieves a certain ranking, they can obtain a furnace of Purple Fire. That’s why Artifact Refiners from all over are flocking here, creating such a spectacle. After all, which Artifact Refiner wouldn’t want an excellent Artifact Refining Fire?"

Wan Yan Jie brought the two into the Xuanbai Valley while proudly explaining the origins of this year’s Master Refiner competition.

"Junior Sister, if you have anything to refine, I can introduce you to well-known Master Refiners..."

Gong Jianying subconsciously glanced at Lin Chen, and he slightly shook his head.

Lin Chen didn’t want Gong Jianying to owe Wan Yan Jie a favor because of his own affairs. With so many Master Refiners around, as long as he offered enough reward, there would definitely be someone willing to take the job.

Besides, there was another reason. The quantity of Crystal Scorpion Tail Stingers Lin Chen had was too great. If it took a long time to refine a single tail stinger into a flying sword, then how long would it take to refine over a thousand stingers?

The Bitter Sea Immortal Domain was merely a stop on Lin Chen’s journey; he didn’t have the time to wait around for them to be processed.

Lin Chen’s plan was to consult the Master Refiners to find out how long it would take to refine these stingers, whether the process was difficult, and if it was indeed difficult and the time required was long, then he would temporarily give up and make plans after reaching the Crimson Immortal Domain.

If the refinement process was short, he could wait, especially since he had to help Taoist Duan Tian find his daughter next, which would take up some more of his time, or if the technique wasn’t difficult, Lin Chen considered learning it himself.

Lin Chen’s requirements for the refinement of these thousand-plus stingers weren’t high; as long as the quality was passable, that would suffice for him. After all, his Vast Wilderness Ten Thousand Sword Art relied not on the might of a particular flying sword, but on wielding thousands upon thousands of flying swords.

Gong Jianing laughed, "We’re just wandering around idly. My sixth senior brother is quite formidable at refining; many of our treasures were refined by him."

Wan Yan Jie, pretending to have forgotten, laughed heartily, "Ah that’s right, I almost forgot, Master Taixu is a renowned Artifact Refining Master. Even his Disciples under the gate are Master Refiners—there’s no need to look elsewhere."

Artifact Refining Master?

Is True Person Taixu really that impressive?

Too bad that True Person Taixu is not at Mount Taixu, even if Senior Brother Liu, the Master Refiner Gong Jianying mentioned, is also away. Otherwise, Lin Chen could’ve sought some advice.

Distant water can’t quench a nearby fire, after all!
