Yao Ruoxian was instantly dumbfounded.
Miao Yi, on the other hand, looked at him expectantly.
The two of them stared at each other silently for a while. Yao Ruoxian felt like he had been tricked, and asked with a dark expression, "You have so many Blaze Resins, and you still said you wanted to buy them from me at a high price. Are you messing with me?"
He had reason to believe that Miao Yi was making a fool out of him, because the items were taken from the storage ring on Miao Yi's hand. From the moment he saw Miao Yi, he had been wearing those rings on Miao Yi's hand. They weren't hidden on his body like the storage rings of the seventy-two Fort Masters.
"No, no, I wouldn't dare." Miao Yi was overjoyed, and asked, "Senior Yao, are these really Gold Blaze Resins and Blue Blaze Resins?"
Yao Ruoxian scoffed, and said, "Where did you get so many Blaze Resins from? From the seventy-two Fort Masters? "
Miao Yi was overjoyed. Back when he killed Madame Wu Hua and checked the items in her storage ring, he saw a large box of brightly colored stones and jewelry placed together. He thought it was some kind of gemstone, but he didn't expect it to be Blaze Resins used to refine artifacts. He almost threw them away.
"No, they were given to me by a friend. I don't think he knew they were Blaze Resins either."
"You can casually grab a bunch of them. Your friend must have given you quite a few, right?"
"No, that's all."
"Is that so? Let me check. "
Miao Yi still wanted to dodge, but Yao Ruoxian grabbed his wrist, and forcefully invoked his arts to invade the storage ring Miao Yi had just checked.
Clang! A large box flew out, and fell to the ground.
Looking at the box of Gold Blaze Resins, Blue Blaze Resins, and Red Blaze Resins under the sunlight, Yao Ruoxian's expression twitched. He pushed Miao Yi away, and grabbed handfuls of Blaze Resins to check, as if he couldn't bear to part with them.
There were so many Blaze Resins, at least tens of thousands of them. The most outrageous thing wasn't just the Red Blaze Resins, but there were also so many Gold Blaze Resins and Blue Blaze Resins. They weren't even differentiated by grade, and were just packed carelessly into the box, as if they weren't valuable items at all.
Yao Ruoxian's eyes lit up. To an artifact refiner, this was definitely one of their favorites, because artifact refinement could not do without these things.
He could confirm that it did not belong to the seventy-two Fort Masters. How could the seventy-two Fort Masters obtain so many Blaze Resins? If even the seventy-two Fort Masters could get their hands on them, there was no reason why Yuan Kaishan could not.
"Could it be that your friend has a Blaze Resins mine?" Yao Ruoxian abruptly turned his head around and asked with a face full of grief and indignation. It was the kind of grief and indignation that made one feel infuriated when compared to others.
A White Lotus Third Grade cultivator was actually able to casually throw out a huge crate of Blaze Resins. How could he, a freak of talent who had refined artifacts for many years, endure this?
If he knew that Miao Yi had almost thrown away this crate of Blaze Resins back then, he would definitely stomp his feet in anger and scold him for being a wastrel.
Miao Yi shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
How would he know whether or not Madame Wu Hua had a crystal mine? Besides, he and Madame Wu Hua weren't friends. He was just making up nonsense to fool Yao Ruoxian.
After all, he wasn't clear about Yao Ruoxian's background. It would be best if he didn't let others know that he had killed someone and robbed them in the dark. It wasn't some glorious thing anyway, so why would he let outsiders get hold of his weakness?
What he was most worried about now was that this sloppy old man would take this crate of Blaze Resins for himself.
"The Blaze Resins mine is hidden deep in the ocean and is controlled by those Demonic Behemoths. It's the biggest source of profit that they've joined hands to fight for from the hands of the Six Sages. In order to maintain the selling value of the Blaze Resins, they won't easily release a large amount of Blaze Resins for sale, to prevent them from being sold cheaply. Those Demonic Behemoths precisely use this method of controlling the Blaze Resins to obtain their own cultivation resources … "Yao Ruoxian fiddled with the Blaze Resins in the crate, unwilling to let go as he continued to mutter incessantly.
However, Miao Yi became pensive because of his words. Wasn't Bi Youbo the descendant of some Demonic Behemoth? For Madame Wu Hua to have so many Blaze Resins, Bi Youbo probably had something to do with it. It seemed like being a concubine with a powerful background was pretty cool.
As he was pondering, Yao Ruoxian suddenly turned around and fiercely said, "Brat, give me half of this crate of Blaze Resins. Treat it as my wages for refining your transcendent artifact!"
"Half?" Knowing the value of the Blaze Resins, Miao Yi exclaimed, "What kind of transcendent artifact would require such an expensive wage to refine? Didn't you say you don't take any wages? Can I not look for you to refine them? "
'Damn it, with so many Blaze Resins, do you think I'm afraid I won't be able to find someone to help me refine a first grade transcendent artifact?' Miao Yi cursed in his heart.
"No way!" Eyes red, Yao Ruoxian angrily said, "Go ask around about the market for me refining transcendent artifacts. I've always been a man of my word. I never go back on what I promised!"
If it weren't for the little mantids, he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't forcefully snatch it away.
Miao Yi was equally indignant as he said, "Senior Yao, you can't lie through your teeth. What do you mean by never going back on what you promised? Didn't you say you don't take any wages? "
"I … I … I …" After stuttering for a while, Yao Ruoxian's eyes lit up. His gaze swept over Miao Yi's entire body, and it was unknown what excuse he thought of. Suddenly, he said eloquently, "I only promised to help you refine one for free. I still have to take wages to refine the others."
"What others?" Miao Yi was stunned.
Yao Ruoxian walked over with his hands behind his back. He circled around Miao Yi and patted his shoulder, "I'll help you refine another set of battle armor. How about that?"
He was obviously beating around the bush to cheat him of his Blaze Resins. Miao Yi was also a little anxious, "I won't refine anything else. Just help me refine a spear artifact for free."
With so many Blaze Resins, he could just casually throw out a few dozen Gold Blaze Resins. Would he still be afraid that he wouldn't be able to get a set of battle armor? Was it worth it to give away half a chest? He didn't look that stupid, did he?
Yao Ruoxian pointed at Miao Yi's nose, and said with a bitter expression, "Kid, some things are just worldly possessions. Don't be reluctant to part with them. Having a good set of transcendent artifacts to protect yourself is a wise move. What's more, how can the transcendent artifacts I refine be compared to those of a mediocre artifact refiner? As long as it's from my hands, it's a fine product. Normal people wouldn't even be able to find me to refine them. Consider yourself lucky this time. It's fate that you met me. "
"No matter how fine it is, it's still a first grade transcendent artifact! Refining a set of first grade battle armor is worth half a chest of Blaze Resins? I have quite a lot of Gold Blaze Resins here. They're Gold Blaze Resins! "The Great Cave Master Miao defended himself with a sullen expression.
With a wretched look on his face, Yao Ruoxian's eyes darted around. His gaze fell on Charcoal who was on the beach. He pointed at Charcoal and increased the price, "Don't you think highly of that fat thief? I'll help you refine another set of battle armor, and help that fat thief refine another set of battle armor for a mount. How about it? "
Miao Yi was furious. He shouldn't cheat him like this. "Senior Yao, if you want to steal my Blaze Resins, then just say it. Have you ever seen a dragon steed in the cultivation realm that wears battle armor? Where would I find so many materials for you to squander? "
