The seven refiners all looked at Li Yao in confusion.
They had all heard that Li Yao had spent a fortune on a Grey Crystal in the auction the day before.
The incident had spread out in the circle of refiners and become the joke of many refiners.
Pondering for a moment, Li Yao opened his hands and retrieved a lumpy meteorite more than one meter in diameter from his Cosmos Ring, before he put it on the Divine Anvil.
"This is the Red Streak Gold Hair Stone that I bought in the auction yesterday."
Of the seven refiners, five of them did not attend the auction of meteorite materials the day before. They surrounded the meteorite and studied it carefully.
Xie Qianhe took out a portable magnifying crystal camera from his pocket and put it on his right eye. He observed the stripes on the surface of the meteorite carefully, before he extended two fingers and touched the 'hair' on the meteorite.
The refiner of the Red Line School, on the other hand, retrieved a glittering gem from his Cosmos Ring, which was emitting dozens of different colors like a Coloured Glaze lamp.
When each of the lights hit the Red Streak Gold Hair Stone, a different brightness would be reflected on the surface of the meteorite.
The refiner of the Red Line School stared at the streaks of brightness, deep in thought.
"In my opinion —"
Master Huangpu did not use any appraisal magical equipment. He simply wiped the surface of the meteorite casually. Then, he pinched his finger and sniffed it, before he said affirmatively, "What is inside the meteorite is indeed a Grey Crystal. There is no doubt about it. Other than that, there are more than 60% impurities in it. It is a low-quality material even among the Grey Crystals."
The other refiners made the same conclusion, too.
Two refiners had appraised the meteorite in the auction the day before. Unwilling to give up, they appraised it again, but the result was still the same.
"I was a bit opportunistic in the exchange of techniques just now."
Li Yao said quickly, "Since you are so interested, please step back and activate your best defensive magical equipment. I will cut the stone in front of everyone as my compensation. "
Recalling how Li Yao had waved the Star Basher in such a mysterious way, everybody knew that the human-shaped beast's skills in refining were unparalleled.
Fortunately, the hammer had hit a Heaven and Earth Treasure. If it had hit a person's head … Even the ten Great Grandmasters were smashed flat.
Could it be that he was going to perform an even more brutal refining technique?
The seven refiners looked at each other and retreated to a corner.
As artificers, they had plenty of artifacts on them. Each of them activated three or four defensive artifacts. He covered himself with quite a few layers of colorful spiritual shields. Then, he finally focused his eyes and observed the surroundings carefully.
They thought that Li Yao would take out a hammer that was even more exaggerated than the Star Piercing Hammer.
To his surprise, Li Yao simply took out two shiny silver gloves from his Cosmos Ring and put them on.
Li Yao's expression was extremely solemn. Veins and tendons once again wrapped around his arms. His ten fingers twitched crazily as if he was controlling an invisible magical equipment.
"What do you mean?"
Xie Qianhe narrowed his eyes and maximized his eyesight. He saw that Li Yao was acting as if he were treading on thin ice. He did not feel as comfortable as when he wielded the Star Penetrating Hammer a moment ago.
However, Xie Qianhe did not see it at all. What did the guy have in his hands?
Right then —
"Shua!"
On the top right corner of the Red Streak Gold Hair Stone, a protruding lump suddenly separated from the main body without a sound and smashed into the Divine Anvil. It then fell to the ground and rolled in front of everybody.
The cut surface was as smooth as a mirror, without the slightest flaw. It was as if someone had cut tofu with the sharpest knife.
It was not tofu but a meteorite that was extremely hard!
Under the flickering light … It was not until then that Xie Qianhe vaguely saw that gold brightness was flashing in front of Li Yao. The gold threads that were thinner than hair were floating in midair.
The threads were almost completely transparent. Only when the light was at the right angle could they reflect the feeble brightness.
The source of the gold threads was Li Yao's gloves.
He was very cautious about the gold threads. He was also extremely cautious. He focused on circulating his spirit energy and driving the golden threads to swim toward the Red Vein Gold Hair Stone.
The gold threads were extremely thin, but they were extremely sharp after they were injected with spiritual energy. When more than ten gold threads brushed the meteorite softly, the shell on the surface of the meteorite was peeled off layer by layer as if it were an onion.
"This is' Monocrystalline Mica Threads', a piece of magical equipment that I recently refined. Although they are extremely sharp, they are very difficult to be used. I haven't been able to use them freely yet. One moment of carelessness and I might lose control. It won't be good if somebody is hurt."
Very soon, Li Yao's naked upper body was covered in sweat again. Staring at the Red Streak Gold Hair Stone, he spoke softly.
He spoke casually, but when the refiners thought for a moment, their eyelids were twitching violently.
The 'Monocrystalline Mica Threads' were so sharp, invisible, and unpredictable that it was more than easy to cut Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures with them. But wouldn't it be even easier to cut flesh and blood with them?
When they thought of dozens of Monocrystalline Mica Threads passing through their bodies without a sound and dissecting them into pieces before they even felt any pain, the refiners shuddered at the same time.
"This is too brutal. The Monocrystalline Mica Threads are not magical equipment of refining at all but out-and-out attack magical equipment!"
Several refiners were mumbling to themselves.
When they came back to themselves, Li Yao had already peeled off the outer shell of the Red Streak Gold Hair Stone. The raw ore that was left looked like a gray coral embedded with white spots.
"They are indeed Gray Crystals!"
The experts recognized them immediately. If they were real Radiant Crystals, the stripes embedded on the surface should be bright silver, not as lifeless and pale as they were right now.
But Li Yao's eyelashes did not shiver at all. His narrowed eyes suddenly widened, and his hands turned into a cluster of gray mist.
Thousands of Monocrystalline Mica Threads turned into streaks of gold brilliance and enshrouded the Gray Crystals like hundreds of invisible daggers. After a while of messy noises, the Gray Crystals and countless impurities were peeled off one piece after another.
Hiu!
When the core of the Gray Crystals was peeled off, a weird shriek suddenly echoed on the Divine Anvil. A streak of green brilliance soared into the sky. The entire room was filled with greenery and fragrance!
"What!"
Xie Qianhe gasped hard.
Li Yao suddenly stopped and retracted the Monocrystalline Mica Threads. It was not until this moment that he finally took a long breath in relief.
On the Divine Anvil, in the middle of the scraps and powder of the Gray Crystals … A weird material that was neither gold nor wood, neither stone nor jade was lying quietly.
It was about the size of a fist. It was warm and green, like a cluster of frozen water. Green mist was spreading out from it.
Even a quick look at it would make anyone feel refreshed and refreshed!
"This is —"
The six experienced refiners, including Xie Qianhe, scratched their heads and looked at each other in bewilderment, unable to figure out what it was. What kind of material was it exactly?
They all looked at Master Huangpu in confusion.
But after pondering for a moment, Master Huangpu shook his head with a bitter smile and turned his eyes to Li Yao.
Li Yao warmed up his aching arms. With a smile of relief, he said, "This is' Green Sky Blue '. It is a very ancient material. I only read its introduction in an ancient notebook by chance before.
"It looks like jade, but it is not jade but something else. It is similar to 'amber'. For some reason, it fell to the ground and was condensed after billions of years through various coincidences.
"Even in the age of the ancient Cultivators forty thousand years ago, 'Green Sky Blue' was very rare. I didn't expect that I would see the meteorite in the auction and vaguely sense the sign that it contained Green Sky Blue. Although the odds were only thirty percent, I still took action! "
"That explains a lot!"
All the refiners were greatly enlightened.
The refiner of the Red Line School said, somewhat in embarrassment, "Fellow Cultivator Sand, you are truly knowledgeable. You even recognize a rarely-seen material from forty thousand years ago. I didn't think much of it when a few of my friends in the circle were talking about it yesterday. But now, I know that I was wrong. Fellow Cultivator Sand, you have found an invaluable treasure! "
Li Yao said, "It's not necessarily priceless, even though it is an ancient treasure. Although it is an ancient item, it does not necessarily mean that ancient items are good.
"Any random stone below our feet has been condensed over billions of years. It is safe to say that it is a marvelous stone from billions of years ago. What can it do?
"Although this' Green Sky Blue 'is rare, its effect is not mysterious. It can only help one adjust their blood, clear their veins, improve their body constitution, and maintain the flexibility of the body.
"Also, its effect is very slow. It is only suitable to be refined into a piece of personal magical equipment for low-level Cultivators to wear for a long time.
"In terms of value, it might not be worth the price that I paid for it."
This time, the refiner of the Red Line School was confused. "If there is only a thirty percent chance that the Green Sky Blue can be found, and even if it is, it might not be worth the price, why did you buy it, Fellow Cultivator Sand?"
Pausing for a moment, he slapped his head and realized what was going on. "Fellow Cultivator Sand, you bought it for your collection, didn't you? Now that it is a collection, its value cannot be estimated by its actual price. "
Li Yao smiled casually and glanced at Xie Qianhe. He shook his head and said, "I did not buy it for my collection.
"I have a student. Although his talent is not outstanding, his character is extremely determined. He has been following me and undergoing extremely harsh training."
"I was thinking of recruiting her as a true disciple, but her training will be even more arduous after she becomes my disciple.
"My student is a girl. I don't want her to exhaust herself because of excessive training, nor do I want her to turn into a brawny monster. Therefore, I've been hesitating.
"It just so happens that with the Blue Sky Azure, I can help her slowly cleanse her marrow and meridians, and she'll be reborn. She'll be able to slightly increase her aptitude, and after the harsh cultivation, she'll be able to recuperate her body and increase her strength while maintaining her petite and delicate figure."
"Shua!"
Xie Qianhe was dumbfounded. His old face immediately blushed.
He was so ashamed that he almost wanted to crawl into a hole.
As it turned out, Sand Scorpion had spent hundreds of millions on the meteorite because he wanted to give the treasures inside to his daughter!
As it turned out, he had made careful plans for An'an!
He was only thirty percent confident that he could find the Green Sky Blue. It meant that there was a seventy percent chance that he would end up with nothing and become the biggest joke of his circle!
All of this was for An 'an!
The refiner of the Red Line School clicked his tongue in admiration. "Fellow Cultivator Sand, not only do you have a profound Cultivation, you are also very considerate of your students. Whoever becomes your true disciple will be truly blessed by their previous life!"
"Of course. Just look at Wu Mayan," another refiner said with a smile.
Another refiner smiled. "Although martial arts and refining are different, after witnessing Fellow Cultivator Sand's … dominating skills in refining today, I'm certain that it won't be long before Fellow Cultivator Sand's true disciple becomes a super newcomer that everybody's attention, just like Wu Mayan!"
"Master Sand!"
Xie Qianhe's face was so red that chili oil was almost dripping down. He couldn't help but step forward and bow to Li Yao so deeply that his head almost hit the ground, while he shouted, "I — I was truly blind. I'm truly ashamed!"
All the refiners were dumbfounded. They did not understand why Xie Qianhe, as the deputy director of the Silver Heart School, was so polite to Li Yao all of a sudden.
Even if the guy's refining skills were better than theirs, it was not necessary!
Li Yao was dazed, too. He frowned and said, "Fellow Cultivator Xie, we can always talk in private."
"No!"
Blushing, Xie Qianhe breathed heavily. His hands were shivering. "Master Sand has done so much for me, but I've been …
"If I don't make it clear to everybody right now, I — I don't deserve to be a refiner, much less a father!
"As it happens, fellow Cultivators are here today. Please be my witnesses. I'm going to make an announcement!"
Taking a deep breath, Xie Qianhe turned to Huangpu Bo and bowed again, before he said solemnly, "Master Huangpu, I'm truly sorry. I didn't know that my daughter An'an had found the best master for herself!"
