Chapter 2824: Chapter 2844: If I learn it, won’t my avatar know it too?

Su Hao couldn’t stop praising, and Lin Chen responded with a smile.

"Senior, can we talk business?"

Su Hao laughed, "Of course we can talk. So, what do you want me to do for you?"

Lin Chen extended his hand, and on it appeared a shiny, dark Crystal Scorpion Tail Stinger, which floated over to Su Hao.

"Senior, you’re an Artifact Refining Master. Can you take a look at this and tell me, how about using it to refine a flying sword?"

Su Hao’s eyes lit up. He reached out with both hands, holding the huge stinger and carefully examined it for a moment before looking up, "This appears to be some Demonic Beast’s tail sting?"

Lin Chen nodded, "It’s from a Demonized Crystal Scorpion."

Su Hao praised, "Such excellent material! Although scorpion-like Demonic Beasts have exceptionally hard shells, the essence of them is truly in their tail stingers. They are the aggregation of essence, not only are they extremely hard, rivaling various metals, but the tip of the stinger is exceptionally sharp with amazing piercing power. Refining it into a flying sword would give it a significant advantage against Barriers and Protection Shields."

After pondering for a moment, Su Hao replied, "The stinger is already quite perfect as is. Only a small amount of additional materials are needed along with the integration of a corresponding Array Formation to make a very perfect flying sword."

Lin Chen pressed on, "How long would it take to refine a flying sword like this?"

Stroking his white beard, Su Hao laughed, "Refinement is a delicate task. Even though only minor adjustments are needed, all the necessary modifications can’t be overlooked. After all, this stinger is very ’raw’ and needs corresponding modifications to truly become a real flying sword."

"If I were to refine it, I would need three days. If someone else were to do it, it would probably take five days. What, my friend, do you want me to refine this stinger into a flying sword for you?"

Three days?

Lin Chen quickly calculated in his heart, considering all the tail stingers he had acquired before, numbering over fifteen hundred. If all were to be refined, wouldn’t it require four thousand five hundred days, and that’s without a single moment’s rest?

Four thousand five hundred days, that’s almost thirteen years!

Without responding to Su Hao, Lin Chen changed the subject, "When refining such a flying sword, can only one be refined at a time, or is it possible to refine many at once?"

Su Hao laughed, "Like I said before, refinement is a meticulous process. To forge a fine Magical Treasure, there can be no slightest error, or else a slight deviation here can lead to a great divergence there. Although powerhouses can multi-task with their heart and mind, unless one has cultivated a specific Cultivation Technique for that purpose, it’s quite difficult to ensure no mistakes are made."

"If the materials are the same, I certainly can refine multiple items at once, but I can’t guarantee there won’t be any mistakes nor that the quality of each would be perfect like the others."

Lin Chen, having listened to Su Hao, now had a clear understanding and followed up with another question, "Is the technique required to refine this stinger complex, and does it involve anything that must not be disclosed?"

Su Hao understood what Lin Chen was getting at upon hearing this and laughed, "The Crystal Scorpion Tail Stinger is already very perfect, and the refining process is not complex. Of course, a good technique can result in a higher-quality product. Perhaps you want to learn Artifact Refinement and do it yourself? You really don’t need to. It’s not that your talent isn’t good, but even if you learn, it would require a lot of effort. Plus, if the materials are ruined, they’re gone. For a single stinger, it’s just three days—I can help you with this."

Su Hao paused then added, "Whether or not you’re willing to lend me the Phoenix Fire, I can help you with this small favor."

Lin Chen shook his head, "Senior, that stinger is just a sample. The number I intend to refine is not small, I wouldn’t dare to trouble a grandmaster like you..."

Merely borrowing a fire, Lin Chen didn’t think it was worth requesting an Artifact Refining Master to sit and refine for over a dozen years, plus he couldn’t wait that long either.

The back and forth he had already caused had delayed him significantly, and he was now quite worried about his family, wishing only to quickly settle affairs and head to the Crimson Immortal Domain—staying here for so long was out of the question.

Of course, the Xinghe Sect had countless Artifact Refiners. Should Su Hao agree, the entire sect’s qualified Artifact Refiners working together could probably finish the work in no time, but Lin Chen didn’t think he had such "face."

Lin Chen wanted to specifically learn the technique for refining the tail stingers so that he could slowly work on them himself.

The Vast Wilderness Ten Thousand Sword Art Lin Chen cultivated was actually a kind of multi-tasking Divine Power—otherwise, how could he precisely manipulate tens of thousands of flying swords?

Moreover, Lin Chen had the Avatar Ability. Once he learned it, wouldn’t his avatars learn it as well?

As long as he mastered the refining technique, he could just make a bunch of avatars to work over time in the Linglong Tower—how could he fear not being able to finish refining those thousand-plus stingers?

Su Hao laughed, "Such tail stingers are extraordinary, not easily obtained. How many do you have?"

Lin Chen hesitated for two seconds, slightly embarrassed before he answered, "Over fifteen hundred."

"Hiss!"

Su Hao’s hand shook, nearly pulling off his own beard, sucking in a breath of cold air and the smile on his face froze. With widened eyes, he blurted out, "So many, how did you obtain them?"
