Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“You?”

“Equipment Forging Grandmaster?”

Feng Lanwu and Xiao Ru were shocked, and they stared at Xu Que in a daze.

Is there a need to be so shameless?

You said you’re from the Earth Continent, we didn’t expose you!

You said you pretended to faint earlier, we also didn’t expose you!

You said you’re actually very strong, all right, we didn’t expose you then either!

But this time round, you have gone overboard! How could you say you’re an Equipment Forging Grandmaster? Refine, my *ss!

Looking at the whole of the Zhen Yuan Celestial Realm, who had ever heard of an Equipment Forging Grandmaster who was only at the Initial Stage of the Half-Celestial Stage? Without the cultivation of an Earth Celestial Stage, how could it be possible for him to support the consumption of True Core Strength, Soul Strength, and Taoist Connotation needed in the refining of equipment?

“Uh, from your stares and expressions, I know you don’t believe me. Forget it, believe it or not!” As Xu Que finished talking, he proudly pulled out an ancient Bronze Lamp and played with it in his hand.

At that moment, Feng Lanwu couldn’t maintain her cool and she exclaimed, “This is...an Inferior Celestial Artifact?”

A weak cultivator in the Initial Stage of the Half-Celestial Stage actually owns an Inferior Celestial Artifact? It’s really unbelievable!

Whoosh!

Xu Que didn’t reply. He waved his hand, like a magic trick, and took out a piece of golden rope and played with as if he was bored!

“An...another Inferior Celestial Artifact?” This time round, Xiao Ru was staring with eyes wide opened; it was incredible.

“They’re just Inferior Celestial Artifacts. I have so many of them!” Xu Que responded disdainfully, and then he added, “They’re my master’s failed creations.”

“What?” Feng Lanwu cried out loud. She was tremendously shocked.

These Inferior Celestial Artifacts are failed creations?

Then what’s the grade of a successful creation? Middle Grade Celestial Artifact? High Grade Celestial Artifact?

God, is this man finally telling the truth that his master is the King Refiner of the Inferior Artifact?

At that moment, Feng Lanwu could no longer maintain her composure.She immediately rushed up to Xu Que and said in an anxious tone, “Fellow cultivator, you...could you recommend your master to us?”

“My master? Sorry, he’s not in this realm. But you only need an Equipment Refining Master. Is it necessary to send my master here?” Xu Que winked and laughed.

“Then...who should we look for? Your seniors? Where are they?” Feng Lanwu asked hastily.

She had spent many years searching for an Equipment Forging Grandmaster, but she had found nothing. Famous Equipment Forging Grandmasters were reluctant to help, and the Equipment Forging Grandmasters who were concealed were unreachable. It had almost made her give up in despair.

But now, Xu Que’s words had rekindled her hope.

“Ha, ha, Miss Feng, my master only has one disciple. Don’t look only at my cultivations of the Half-Celestial Stage. In fact, I’m an Equipment Forging Grandmaster. Look at this if you don’t believe me!” Xu Que with a slight move of his wrist took out the Firestorm Wheels.

“Middle Grade Celestial Artifact?”

Suddenly, Feng Lanwu’s expression changed and she looked at Xu Que, gasping with astonishment.

As a Second Miss of the Chamber of Commerce, she had naturally seen a Middle Grade Celestial Artifact. But only the aces in the Human Celestial Stage or those in the Earth Celestial Stage could own Celestial Artifacts of such grades. And here she was seeing a dude at his Half-Celestial Stage taking that out from his pocket! How could she not be shocked?

However, she carefully recalled Xu Que’s words and found something was amiss. He said he was an Equipment Forging Grandmaster. How could he show them a piece of Middle Grade Celestial Artifact? After thinking about that, Feng Lanwu immediately returned to her senses and looked at Xu Que. If Xu Que dared to say that the Middle Grade Celestial Artifact was made by him, she would definitely dash up and uncover the ultimate liar!

Fortunately, Xu Que was serious and sincere in his deception this time; he wouldn’t commit such a silly mistake.

He put away the Firestorm Wheels and the two other Inferior Celestial Artifacts and smiled, “This Middle Grade Celestial Artifact was made by my master. I showed you to prove my master’s strength. Give it careful thought. If he’s so strong, but only accepts me as his disciple, how bad could I be?”

Feng Lanwu and Xiao Ru were silent for a moment. It seemed that Xu Que’s explanation was pretty plausible!

If he was the sole disciple of a King Refiner of the Inferior Artifact, maybe he was also a genius in refining equipment. What a genius could accomplish shouldn’t be judged from an ordinary point of view. His cultivation of the Half-Celestial Stage might not be a disadvantage for him!

“That...fellow cultivator, which grade of an Equipment Forging Grandmaster are you in?” After a moment of silence, Feng Lanwu finally asked since she was still dubious about his explanation.

“Which grade do you need?” Xu Que asked instead of replying.

“We need at least a Fourth Grade to help us!” Feng Lanwu replied.

“I’m in the Fifth Grade!” Xu Que didn’t hesitate even for a second as he held out five fingers in an arrogant manner.

Feng Lanwu and Xiao Ru were staring with their eyes wide open again.

Fifth Grade Equipment Forging Grandmaster?

Is this possible?

They weren’t aware what the situation was like in other Celestial Realms, but they knew very well that in the Zhen Yuan Celestial Realm, within the already well-known Fifth Grade Equipment Forging Grandmasters and beyond, they had at least a cultivation at the peak of the Human Celestial Stage; they were also known as geniuses in the field!

But now, a young man who was in the Initial Stage of the Half-Celestial Stage had labelled himself as a Fifth Grade Equipment Forging Grandmaster. Could they trust him?

“Wait a minute, you say you’re a Fifth Grade Equipment Forging Grandmaster, then could you show us a Fifth Grade magic weapon you’ve personally refined? No, no, no, you should refine one and show us!” Xiao Ru collected herself and said.

Feng Lanwu had a sparkle in her eyes. She secretly reflected to herself that she was too anxious and missed out on such an important detail. All they needed was to see him refine something to know whether he was speaking the truth!

“Refine one for you to see? Uh...it’s going to take quite a while. Forget it, let me be honest. I admit that I was really knocked out unconscious before, and that’s because I was injured, hence I can only create a Nine Star magical weapon now. But if I can recover from the injury after some rest, I can create a Fifth Grade magic weapon!” Xu Que spitted out half-truths. He was indeed a Nine Star Equipment Refiner and he could refine a Nine Star magical weapon.

However, after recovering from his injury, he could still only make a Nine Star magical weapon, unless he took advantage of that period of time to conduct research and learn about the knowledge of refining equipment and break through to a Fifth Grade Equipment Forging Grandmaster. Of course, as to whether he could succeed or not, Xu Que didn’t really have the confidence in that, after all, he had never tried before.

However, since he had already bragged about his ability; he had to give it a try. If he failed, he would have to use violence to solve their problems and he would help them in this way. After all, he believed that he would have returned to his peak by then!

“You...how long do you need?” After much consideration, Feng Lanwu looked at Xu Que and asked with an expression of incomparable seriousness. She was pinning her last hopes on Xu Que. She could only hope that Xu Que wasn’t deceiving her.

Of course, even if he lied to her, she was ready for that too. It was because, before she met Xu Que, she already knew that the present crisis faced by the Wind Chamber of Commerce could not be resolved. By placing a trace of hope on Xu Que, it was...better than nothing!

“I probably need...” Xu Que thought for a moment and then suddenly sat cross-legged on the ground. “Wait a minute, let me check where I was injured!”

After that, he ignored Feng Lanwu and Xiao Ru’s looks of frustration, and he shut his eyes immediately! Next moment, Xu Que called out the System and explored his own situation in detail! It was all good before he decided to check, but he was astonished with his state when he checked!

His injuries far exceeded his expectations. Although his appearance and some meridians were repaired, his Dantian was in a mess. The six balls of light, which were originally created from five Celestial Spiritual Roots and a Thunder Spiritual Root, were mingled up into a huge mess and running all over the place in his Dantian. Every collision would cause his Dantian to break a little and then quickly be repaired by the System. As a result of this vicious cycle, there was no progress in his recovery, and he had been stuck in that awful state of health!

Fortunately, the System’s automatic recovery ability wasn’t shut down. Otherwise, he might have had to suffer from another serious injury, or even worse, his cultivations would have been deemed useless!

“D*mn it, what sin have I done? Why do you treat me like that?” Xu Que immediately began to shed bitter tears; he felt helpless and distressed. Although he had encountered many difficulties before, generally speaking, it had been quite smooth sailing for him. But from the moment he entered the Celestial Burial Valley until now, there had been all kinds of disasters and hardships; it was sheer bad luck.

“Fellow cultivator, how are you?” Just then, Feng Lanwu saw Xu Que open his eyes and she asked hurriedly.

Xu Que shook his head helplessly. “I don’t know what’s going on now. I guess I’ll have to wait a little longer to tell you how many days it will take!”

“Is your injury very serious?” Feng Lanwu asked.

“It isn’t particularly serious!” Xu Que shrugged his shoulders. “It’s just that my Dantian is about to explode!”
