Zhou Xing is the Second Elder's apprentice and is now able to refine low-grade spiritual weapons. Because his master and disciple do not get along, the relationship between the apprentices is naturally not good. Now that Yang Dali has been expelled from the sect, the two still glare at each other when they meet.

Zhou Xing's gaze fell on the only superior-grade spiritual weapon, a white jade sword.

"Aren't you only capable of crafting low-grade magical artifacts?"

"My friend is a genius. She can refine them. Let me tell you, no disciple of the Qiyun Sect can compare to my friend."

Yao Feiran: "..."

If Yang Dali weren't so naive, she would have thought the other person was trying to provoke her.

Some of the others were unconvinced. Zhou Xing picked up the high-grade spiritual artifact, channeled his spiritual power into it, and his gaze became increasingly solemn. His spiritual power flowed smoothly without any obstruction, and what about the Dao pattern?

Yang Dali shouted, "Hey, don't touch it if you're not buying it, or you'll have to pay for it!"

"How many spirit stones? I'll buy it."

Yang Dali held out both hands: "One hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones."

The person next to him jumped up and said, "You're extorting me! It's so expensive!"

"If you think it's too expensive, then don't buy it."

"I bought it."

Zhou Xing took out his storage bag and tossed it over, then hurriedly returned with his sword.

Yang Dali muttered, "Buying it even though it's twice as expensive is such a rip-off."

As he spoke, he placed another high-grade spiritual artifact on it, which was a spatial ring.

Yao Feiran: "Is he also a disciple of the Qiyuan Sect?"

"His master is a Nascent Soul cultivator and a member of the Zhou family, whose family is extremely wealthy."

"Were you also a disciple of the Qiyuan Sect before?"

"Yes, but he was expelled from the sect."

"Your cultivation aptitude isn't bad either, so why were you expelled from the sect?"

"Because my aptitude for weapon crafting was too poor, I didn't follow the sect's route of recruiting disciples. Instead, I was accepted as a disciple by the Second Elder after handing over 100,000 high-grade spirit stones. Later, when he kicked me out, the sect didn't care."

One hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones? That's ten million low-grade spirit stones. So Yang Dali was this rich before.

"Didn't your former master already know you had poor aptitude? He was willing to take you in before, so why did he want to kick you out later?"

"He probably thinks I'm embarrassing him."

Yang Dali sighed. He used all the wealth of his clan to become a disciple. Every time he asked a master for guidance, he had to offer a large sum of spirit stones or resources before the master would be willing to teach him. Over time, all his resources were exhausted. Fortunately, he had good cultivation aptitude and reached the peak of Foundation Establishment. His contributions over the years were just enough to exchange for a Breakthrough Pill.

As soon as he exchanged the Breakthrough Pill, he was kicked out, and the Breakthrough Pill disappeared without a trace.

"With such poor talent for refining artifacts, you might as well save your spirit stones for your own cultivation."

"My family made its fortune in weapon crafting, so I wanted to fulfill my parents' last wish, but seeing you made me realize that."

"What does this have to do with me?"

Yang Dali looked aggrieved: "Waaah, no matter how hard you try, it's all for nothing if you don't have talent."

Yao Feiran: "...How many resources did you give to your former master?"

"Anyway, all of the Zhou family's assets were left to me. After that, I used them to support my master and for my own cultivation. Now they're all gone."

Yao Feiran patted him on the shoulder: "Don't say others are being taken advantage of; you're no less so yourself."

Yang Dali: "........"

Before long, a large number of people came to the shop and surrounded it. When Yang Dali saw Zhou Xing, he jumped up and said, "The money and goods are settled, I will not give you a refund."

Zhou Xing sneered, "Who's as petty as you? My master and I want to meet the weapon refiner behind you."

Yang Dali then noticed an old man standing nearby, with an air of otherworldly grace. Startled, he realized that this was Lu Daozhi, Zhou Xing's master, a Nascent Soul cultivator.

"Sen...senpai."

Yao Feiran had noticed the old man long ago. She had now mastered a disguise technique that only cultivators two realms higher than her could see through, so she wasn't afraid of being confronted.

Yao Feiran stepped forward: "I wonder what business you have with me, senior?"

Lu Daozhi glanced at Yao Feiran: "Young friend, why don't we talk privately?"

"it is good."

The two entered the room behind the shop, and Lu Daozhi sensed with his divine sense that there was a pill furnace in one of the rooms.

"Young friend, you refined your Breakthrough Pill yourself, didn't you?"

"Yes."

It seems that Yang Dali's breakthrough was guessed.

"I wonder if you, young friend, would be interested in joining the Qi Yuan Sect?"

"I prefer freedom."

"It's alright. You can become my disciple directly, without being bound by the sect. I can teach you other weapon-refining techniques, which are the inheritances I found during my training outside."

"What do I need to do?"

"Judging from your skill in weapon crafting, you should be able to forge magical treasures."

"I haven't tried it yet; I lack the materials needed to craft magical artifacts."

Magical treasures are generally used by Nascent Soul or Void Refinement experts, and the materials used are quite precious, making them very difficult to collect.

Lu Daozhi smiled and said, "Once you join the Qiyuan Sect, you won't lack materials."

Qiyuan Sect is the number one sect in the world for refining weapons. People from outside would bring materials and personally ask disciples of Qiyuan Sect to refine them.

"Alright, I wonder why you chose me, senior."

"The sword you forged has Daoist charm. I saw that you engraved a Heaven-rank Daoist pattern on that spiritual sword. It's such a waste. How can the materials of a spiritual weapon be worthy of a Heaven-rank Daoist pattern? A slight mistake could ruin everything. I imagine you spent a lot of time drawing that pattern."

So those were Heavenly Rank Dao patterns? She saw them from the broken sword, and it didn't take much effort, just a few minutes longer than usual.

However, she remained silent. Lu Daozhi continued, "Many large magic treasures cannot be completed by me alone. I need others to imprint the array patterns together, and the components need to be smelted. This requires the cooperation of fellow Earth-rank weapon refiners. Furthermore, the sect must complete the refining task before they can go into seclusion for cultivation."

"Can't your vast Qi Yuan Sect find anyone?"

Lu Daozhi gave an awkward smile: "Most of my disciples have average talent, and the other fellow disciples have already completed their missions and gone into seclusion to cultivate."

Yao Feiran immediately understood that Lu Daozhi's talent and strength were not particularly advantageous among his peers, which was why he couldn't snatch up disciples with good aptitude.

"Can I continue selling the magical artifacts I craft?"

"Yes, and with Qiyuan Sect as his backer, no one will bother Yang Dali."

"OK."

After Yao Feiran joined the Qiyuan Sect, it became easier for her to earn resources. Yang Dali openly placed high-grade spiritual artifacts on the platform, and Yao Feiran also gained access to several secret realms through Lu Daozhi's influence, where she encountered many fortuitous events.

With Yao Feiran as his helper, Lu Daozhi's success rate in making magical artifacts increased significantly, which can be considered a win-win situation.

After Lu Daozhi completed his assigned quota, he went into seclusion. Yao Feiran also found a place to go into seclusion, and when she came out, she had reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

She went to Yue Shuo City again, and Yang Dali laughed and said, "The Qingyan Sect has some fun going on recently, are you going?"

"What's the fun?"
