Chapter 12: The Refining Master (Part 2)

  "Even Grandfather, I've obtained an extremely precious ore, and according to my estimation, it should be a top-grade divine ore." Qin Yu's first sentence made Lian Yan jump up suddenly.

  Lian Yan's eyes were filled with shock and incredulity as he stared at Qin Yu, unable to speak for a long time before finally saying: "Qin Yu, this is no laughing matter. A top-grade Xian-class ore is something that even the most skilled masters can only dream of obtaining. The weapons forged from it are absolutely divine. How could such a high-level ore be obtained so easily?"

  For the people of the Profound Dragon Continent, weapons are simply divided into ordinary and sacred artifacts. Sacred artifacts are further divided into upper, middle, and lower grades. The same applies to minerals. Even the Eastern Tyrant King, with his immense power, only has a few dozen pieces stored in his armory, mostly lower-grade sacred artifacts, with a small portion being mid-grade sacred artifacts. As for top-grade sacred artifacts, there are only two.

  "Even Grandfather, would I still deceive you? I used the Fish Intestine Sword to slash and test it, but there wasn't even a single mark. If it's not a top-grade sacred artifact, what is it?" Qin Yu immediately explained.

  "Fish intestine sword chopped, not even leaving a mark?" Lian Yan understood in his heart that if the fish intestine sword couldn't leave a mark, it was definitely a top-grade ore of the immortal class. "Xiao Yu, what does this ore look like? How big is it? Is it about the size of a fist?"

  The more precious a mineral is, the smaller it generally is. If one has a fist-sized piece, it would be enough to forge short swords and daggers.

  "Fist?" Qin Yu exclaimed in surprise.

  He got a fiery red crystal that was nearly one meter high and as thick as his thigh, this fiery red crystal was much larger than a fist.

  "It's not even the size of a fist, so it can only be used to make dagger-like weapons. However, that's still pretty good, at least it's an upper-grade immortal artifact." Lian Yan said with a smile, while Qin Yu beside him suddenly understood what Lian Yan meant and couldn't help but laugh.

  "No, even Grandpa, the ore I got was very large, it's cylindrical in shape, one meter high, and as thick as a thigh, much larger than a fist." Qin Yu said with gestures.

  As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes widened and his face began to flush red.

  "Cylinder, and one meter high?"

  Lian Yan was not Qin Yu, he thought more about it, such a large piece of ore, and it's still a top-grade immortal artifact, for example, refining a war knife can refine dozens of them, this is dozens of top-grade immortal artifacts.

  Dozens of items, what is this concept?

  "Of course it's true, do you need to ask?" Qin Yu felt helpless as Lian Yan asked again and again, but he didn't know that Lian Yan couldn't believe it was true because it sounded like a pie falling from the sky, something that no one could easily believe was real.

  "Hurry, take me to see." Lian Yan said to Qin Yu immediately. Qin Yu nodded in agreement and took Lian Yan to the underground secret room.

  In the secret underground chamber, Lian's eyes shone brightly as he stared at this fiery red crystal.

  The fiery red crystal emitted a faint, hazy red light, and was so crystalline that the patterns inside the crystal could be seen. As soon as Yan Yi saw the appearance of this crystal, he knew it must be a priceless treasure, and compared to it, pearls and agate would pale in comparison.

  Lian Yan's waist suddenly twitched, and a purple soft sword appeared out of nowhere. Lian Yan's hand shook, and the purple soft sword immediately straightened up, then transformed into a purple ray that slashed onto the fiery red crystal stone.

  "Indeed." Lian Yan's eyes gleamed with a fierce light as he stared at the fiery red crystal in front of him, "Not even my Purple Core Soft Sword can leave a scratch on it, it's absolutely a top-grade sacred artifact." Lian Yan turned his head to look at Qin Yu beside him and said solemnly, "Qin Yu, such a precious treasure must be sent to the palace immediately. If you want to refine any divine weapons, please ask Master Hei of the Refining Sect to help you refine them. With so many crystals, you can refine armor and other equipment, and there will definitely be some left over. You can leave the leftovers for your father, the king. Can you do that?"

  Qin Yu listened to what Lian Yan said and suddenly understood everything in his heart.

  Such precious ore, the refined weapons are absolutely divine soldiers. These divine soldiers were sent to the emperor's hands, and the emperor would definitely be able to exert his power in battle. Qin Yu didn't care about Jinyin Lingbao and the like.

  "It's alright, I only need one-tenth of this crimson crystal and the rest can be given to Father," Qin Yu said with a smile.

  Lian Yan looked at Qin Yu's gaze, full of approval: "Little Yu, you are so young, yet you can resist the temptation of such a heavy treasure, your heart is indeed far superior to ordinary people." A person who can face such a heavy treasure without being tempted, this person's state of mind is absolutely not comparable to that of an ordinary person. A martial artist wants to break through, must have a state of mind that matches it.

  Qin Yu saw Lian Yan's gaze and said, "Grandfather Lian, don't look at me like that. I might get a bad premonition." He said with a pretended shy expression, which made Lian Yan burst out laughing.

  A person's temperament needs to be tempered, and when someone has gone through what Qin Yu has. Every time they break through their limits, it is a tempering of their temperament, and Qin Yu started from the age of eight. Qin Yu's temperament is far more resilient than that of ordinary people.

  Lonely people are generally independent and have their own style. Because a person is often lonely, they naturally think deeply.

  Reflecting on life, reflecting on one's own value, the more you think, the more things become transparent.

  Qin Yu was the same, often lonely as a child, watching the stars alone, and after experiencing some things, Qin Yu, who is now mentally mature, completely understood how to be a person: The most important thing in life is that kind of kinship, the feelings of blood being thicker than water. As for money, treasures, etc., they are just enough to guarantee basic living, what's the use of having more? Ten thousand taels of silver are enough for a lifetime, what's the use of having one hundred thousand taels of silver? So he naturally didn't have any greedy thoughts either.

  People have dreams, Qin Yu also has dreams. Family affection comes first, and that dream is second. Life? Without family affection, without dreams, life is just a walking corpse.

  At the moment of extreme breakthrough, Qin Yu likes that kind of hot-blooded feeling after breaking through the limit. He likes close combat, the thrill of deciding life and death in an instant. Qin Yu's dream is to make his life passionate and burning like a meteor, life needs this kind of hot-bloodedness...

  "Even Grandfather is planning to have someone deliver this crimson crystal stone to the Wang Manor?" Qin Yu said with a smile.

  "Yes, I'll arrange for someone to go," Lian Yan said hastily, as this was a big matter and he couldn't afford to be even slightly negligent. He quickly made the arrangements and left. Qin Yu glanced at the fiery red crystal stone and thought to himself, "I didn't think this crystal stone would also be useful for Father Emperor, it's a gain." Then, Qin Yu smiled and turned around to leave the secret room.

  In the Zhen Dong Wang's mansion, at this moment in a courtyard, there were many people gathered here. The three sons of Zhen Dong Wang, Lian Yan, Ge Min's general manager and three big men with bare upper bodies, as well as a middle-aged man in black, all looked at the fiery red crystal in the center.

  "Mr. Hei, is there a way to refine it?" Lian Yan asked the middle-aged man in black clothes.

  The middle-aged man in black, however, did not respond. Instead, he stood beside the fiery red crystal stone, his eyes wide with concentration as he carefully examined every detail of the crystal stone. He was completely absorbed in his observation. Qin Yu and the others nearby saw this and naturally didn't disturb the alchemy master.
