Such children are truly rare! With a disciple like this, what more could one ask for! She smiled; talking to intelligent people saves effort.
"Naturally!"
With that, she waved her hand to summon Zhan Hun. Silver-white light blazed through the dim, silent mansion, an aura of an immortal artifact radiating outwards, accompanied by a chilling presence that showcased its inherent ice attribute and proud might!
As a weapon refiner, how could Chu Tianlin not see the grade of this immortal artifact? Though it was only half a grade, its aura, power, and radiance were in no way inferior to any first-grade immortal artifact!
At the same time, a hint of fear entered his gaze as he looked at Jin Baoer…
One must know how proud immortal artifacts are; they are exceedingly rare even in the entire Upper Realm. The might of an immortal artifact represents the strength of its master, a case of shared glory and shared loss!
Jin Baoer was not stingy. She directly handed Zhan Hun to Chu Tianlin, then took out a white-glazed long saber. Its rusty exterior looked utterly incongruous with Zhan Hun. Anyone seeing it would hardly believe this piece of scrap metal was once the treasured saber of a powerful being, a weapon that once struck fear into the Seven Great Families a hundred years ago…
The moment Chu Tianlin took Zhan Hun, he immediately sensed the sword spirit within, and his entire being was electrified! His body, seated on the chair, involuntarily straightened, his gaze fixed intently on the black dragon longsword in his hand…
Such potent aura! Such sharp pride!
A good sword! An absolutely good sword!
Seeing the fervent gleam in his eyes, Jin Baoer casually handed him the white-glazed long saber…
"My requirement is to merge this long saber with Zhan Hun, discarding its dross! I don't care about the grade, but it must maximize the white-glazed long saber's effects!"
This was also to avoid wasting the remaining value of the white glaze! Such a proud long saber would surely not wish to become mere scrap metal!
As Chu Tianlin took the white-glazed long saber, he subconsciously furrowed his brow. Let alone others, even he himself saw it as scrap metal. But the moment he held it, he sensed something was amiss. After examining it carefully for a long time…
He was utterly astonished!
This is a f***ing immortal artifact, isn't it? An offensive immortal artifact! At least above second grade! Judging by its shape, it should be for a male cultivator, but for some reason, it's severely damaged. If not for the rare material of the saber itself, it would likely be completely ruined!
In his shock, he looked at Jin Baoer dazedly! No one knew how much a weapon refiner yearned for such a moment! His voice trembled.
"You… you truly want to entrust this to me for refining?"
The excited, fervent look in his eyes suggested that if Jin Baoer said no, he would immediately go mad!
Seeing this, Jin Baoer felt a little relieved! There was no greed in his eyes, only genuine appreciation from someone with true skill and recognition of its value!
Chu Tianlin was ecstatic! He wished he could roar aloud right then and announce his joy to the world…
"This is my honor. Forget about payment, I'd even pay you to…"
"Ah!!"
Just as Chu Tianlin was excitedly preparing to refuse payment to express his selfless dedication to his profession, a sharp, intense pain shot through his thigh! It made him jump up and yelp in agony!
The culprit, the little radish head, looked at him with a smile! His voice was childish and innocent… if one ignored the murderous aura emanating from him!
"Master, what are you saying?"
Seeing this, Jin Baoer couldn't help but chuckle! Her stunningly beautiful features seemed to erupt with dazzling radiance, captivating all who beheld it…
However, apart from a greedy, childish little radish head, there was also an uncle engrossed in his newfound immortal artifact! Neither of them noticed this exceptionally stunning, beautiful smile!
Jin Baoer, however, felt even happier. She quite liked the pair of lively master and disciple before her! Their interaction was pure and natural.
In the days that followed, she temporarily stayed at the Artifact Refining Sect, under the greedy, lewd gaze of the little radish head, paying ten low-grade spirit stones daily as rent.
One day, she was in her room refining pills and making talismans! She had completely forgotten about the two individuals in the immortal mansion.
Until suddenly, a dense spiritual energy surged within the immortal mansion, even faintly spreading outwards. While she was controlling the fire for her pill refinement, she almost couldn't help but cause an explosion in the furnace, only then noticing the changes within the immortal mansion.
Following that, a flash of light green light zipped past! The noble and proud blonde man slowly appeared… He first surveyed the room she was staying in, then shook his head with disdain.
"You live here? Tsk tsk!"
Jin Baoer's expression remained unchanged. Perhaps it was proximity that corrupted her, but the once noble and gentle Elf King had completely changed! He was as sharp-tongued and arrogant as Long Li Xing!
"Your injuries are healed? Then you may leave!"
Her cold tone completely choked off whatever the Elf King intended to say next, a helpless smile gradually appearing at the corner of his lips.
"We're friends, aren't we? You don't need to be so cold."
Hearing this, Jin Baoer finally shifted her gaze from the cauldron to his face, which was as handsome and noble as a celestial being, and asked in confusion.
"Friends? I haven't seen friends who demand to be paid handsomely for helping you out!"
She was not wrong! The last time she took out the elf tree branch from the immortal mansion to replenish her strength, she discovered that this Elf King was shamelessly greedy. Almost half of the spiritual energy had been drained from the perfectly good elf tree branch, leaving only a small portion!
In contrast, the Elf King's injuries and suppressions had almost fully recovered in a short period, and now he appeared before her without any sign of weakness.
Upon hearing her words, the Elf King showed no trace of embarrassment! It must be said, after living for tens of thousands of years, thick skin was a given!
"You say that… if it's not enough, I can let you take two more branches next time."
Jin Baoer nodded, accepting his offer without politeness! She then returned her attention to her pill furnace.
After a while, she turned to look at him… with a puzzled expression.
"Why haven't you left yet?"
Hearing this, the man, who had been feigning sleep on a soft cushion, immediately opened his eyes and met her completely serious gaze. The corners of his mouth twitched violently!
He, the great Elf King, when had he ever been so disliked?
"Fine! I'm leaving now!"
You damned woman, used and then discarded! Ruthless as a viper! He had taken care of Long Li Xing for so long, thinking it was easy? For months, this fellow could have exploded with power at any moment. If not for his intervention, the immortal mansion would likely have been blown to smithereens!
As Jin Baoer sensed his receding aura, she showed no reaction! After all, he had accepted her benefits, and she had saved him once. It was a clean slate, with neither owing the other anything.
After finishing her pill refinement, she began making talismans!
One must know that in the future, she would inevitably clash with behemoths like the Seven Great Families. Her current strength was still lacking. She needed plenty of teleportation talismans! She had never intended to rely solely on Long Li Xing for protection!
