My Daoist partner helps me cultivate immortality

My sense of security plummeted again.

Lin Ye's face froze.

I'm so poor...

In theory, weapon refiners are considered wealthy middle-class cultivators of the same level, but in reality, they are always short of cash.

The senior didn't even offer any financial assistance, although I know that newly breakthrough weapon refiners are all very poor... Sigh!

Lin Ye used the last bit of spirit stones he earned from selling goods to exchange for refining materials on his way back.

We're almost out of materials, there's nothing we can do.

Upon seeing Lin Ye return, Chu Yingying rushed over: "Fellow Daoist Lin, you're back."

"Yingying! Dual cultivation, I want to cultivate now!"

"So eager? Oh..."

Lin Ye needs external spiritual energy.

He has already reached the fifth level of Qi Refining, and it's time for him to challenge himself to create high-level spiritual artifacts!

He pulled Chu Yingying onto the bed.

There will be no sleep tonight.

......

The next afternoon.

During a break from refining weapons, Lin Ye went to the doorway for some fresh air.

Just then, they saw Old Li with the window open, tidying up his house.

"Fellow Daoist Li, are you leaving?"

"Fellow Daoist Lin!"

Seeing the "Wan" character token hanging from Lin Ye's waist, Old Li felt a pang of emotion.

"After that injury, Fellow Daoist Lin worked hard and his weapon-refining skills improved by leaps and bounds. I admire you!"

"I never imagined that my neighbor would become a member of Wanbaolou."

"Sigh, I'm finally leaving Yuyi Lane, where I've lived for decades. Of course, I'll be moving to the next lane."

Hearing the commotion, the other neighbors also came out, looking at Lin Ye with a sense of awe.

The crowd exchanged pleasantries and wished each other good fortune, such as "May your path to immortality be smooth," before watching Old Li leave Raincoat Alley.

Lin Ye also returned to his weapon-refining hut.

Look up and down.

I should probably consider moving.

Let's move to a better house.

Lin Ye glanced at the first-grade high-level spiritual weapon displayed on the stage, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

It was successfully built.

"Advanced Weapon Refiner!"

Of course, it's the highest grade among the first-class.

It must be said that the social status of a first-grade advanced weapon refiner is higher than that of a typical late-stage Qi Refining cultivator, only slightly lower than that of a cultivator who has just entered the Foundation Establishment stage.

With the recent influx of outsiders, accommodations are becoming increasingly scarce. Any decent place is already booked, and you won't be able to get a room without connections.

Lin Ye originally wanted to go to Wanbaolou to see if they had any rooms available.

Then I remembered that Gongshu Yan said the Refiners' Guild was about to establish a branch.

The newly established organization must have purchased a considerable amount of land for staff housing... there must be vacancies.

His only connection there was his acquaintance with Gongshu Yan, a third-grade weapon refiner.

However, Gongshu Yan's popularity...

The probability of it not being good is 1000%.

It's not a debuff, is it?

Don't worry, I haven't formally become an apprentice yet!

While asking around on the street, Lin Ye decided to go and ask first.

Lin Ye found the brand-new pavilion belonging to the Refiners' Guild and pushed open the door to enter.

Chapter Seventeen: Tactical Base Swap

The Refiners Guild, Qingyang Sect Branch.

The branch president was looking at a low-grade first-rank spiritual artifact, pulling at his hair and secretly worrying.

This is illogical, even absurd.

A cricket-grade spiritual artifact is utterly insignificant to a third-grade artifact refiner like the branch leader.

Would anyone really spend half a day studying a classic, fashionable little piece of junk?

The assistant standing behind the branch president thought to himself.

some.

Similar to how ancient people would react to flashy modern plastic packaging bags...

"...That's strange, something's not right."

"How exactly was this situation handled?"

The branch president rested his hands on his forehead, staring at the low-grade first-rank spiritual artifact on the table. It seemed incredibly profound, and his head was about to explode.

"President, does this thing... really have any research value?"

Taking advantage of the moment when the president looked away, the assistant glanced at the sword on the branch president's desk and asked in confusion.

"What do you, a mere second-grade weapon refiner, know?"

"Yes..."

The assistant was dumbfounded.

Although I am only a second-grade weapon refiner, according to your logic of looking down on lower-grade ones, how could I not understand a first-grade spiritual weapon?

President, you're being ridiculous!

Then I looked at it closely, and I really couldn't understand it.

The assistant, as if facing a formidable enemy, said, "This seems a bit more than you think..."

The president said, "It's just psychological."

"Actually, you wouldn't be able to detect anything unusual at your level."

The assistant was moved to tears: "...I was too arrogant!"

The president nodded.

The creator definitely used a very special technique.

I heard he's a rogue cultivator.

Is he really a genius?

However, the success of a weapon refiner depends on many factors, and it cannot be determined by a flash of inspiration when they first enter the profession.

But it wouldn't hurt to pay attention to it.

Pushing the sword aside, the branch leader said, "Let's invite the person who made this into the Weapon Refiners Guild and wait and see how things develop."

"Understood, Chairman."

A look of surprise flashed in the assistant's eyes.

Not only this top-grade spiritual artifact, but the guild leader has gone even further and is interested in the top-grade weapon refiner who created it.

The guild leader has always looked down on weapon refiners of lower rank than himself, and has even uttered outrageous statements such as "High-rank weapon refiners are meant to humiliate low-rank weapon refiners!"

This situation is highly unusual.

I've followed him for over a hundred years, and this is the first time I've ever seen this!

The president narrowed his eyes slightly, glancing at his assistant behind him out of the corner of his eye.

"What are you standing there for? I'm telling you to go find him right now."

"...Yes! I'll set off immediately!"

The assistant quickly went out the door.

But he was even more astonished.

He hadn't expected that the chairman, at his age, would be so anxious about this matter.

As soon as the assistant left, the guild leader couldn't resist picking up the low-level spiritual artifact made by Lin Ye and examining it closely.

"Ha, old man, you won't understand."

The guild leader frowned and looked towards the door, where another third-grade weapon refiner was looking at him provocatively.

"...Gongshu Yan!"

The president's eyes revealed disgust.

Gongshu Yan crossed his arms and said, "I witnessed the entire process of making this magical artifact firsthand. If it were you, you probably wouldn't even understand it."

"You've learned the technique?"

"No."

The president gritted his teeth and said, "That's it! What makes you better than me?"

"Of course it's better than you! And the talented little guy who made it has already... already been..."

Gongshu Yan was suddenly at a loss for words.

There doesn't seem to be anything between him and me.

The president asked in confusion, "You've taken on apprentices?"

Not yet...

"Then what's there to say!"

The branch president clenched his fist and said, "Gongshu Yan... wasn't it just that he mocked you before you reached the third rank? Why hold a grudge until now?"

"what?"

"I don't hold a grudge against you. I don't even remember this happening."

Gongshu Yan looked puzzled.

The branch president realized that she seemed to be serious and suddenly understood.

This guy simply looks down on all mediocre people equally...

Asshole!

I hope someone can come and teach her a lesson!

By the way, that rogue cultivator's technique was something even Gongshu Yan couldn't imitate?

Wait a minute, how did you do that?

I hope he really is a genius, preferably even better than her.

The branch president thought angrily.

at the same time.

In the lobby on the first floor, many weapon refiners were queuing up, and Lin Ye mingled in the queue.

"Fellow Daoist, isn't it not open for business yet? I see the signboard hasn't been put up outside."
