How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!-Chapter 639 - 0634: Smelting Phoenix Wings! (Request for Monthly Tickets)
Such a bustling Cultivation Spirit Hall, it was the first time Yang Fenghou and others had laid eyes on it.
The entrance fee here had also doubled from the usual rate.
All of this was because the Heavenly Jade Sect and Black Demon Valley were recruiting disciples nearby.
Ordinary two-star and two-and-a-half-star sect powers usually recruited once a year or every two years.
However, the Heavenly Jade Sect and Black Demon Valley recruited once every five years, so the number of people coming each time was astonishing.
Some even resigned from their original sect powers and traveled long distances to participate in the assessment.
"In each Cultivation Spirit Hall, there is a powerful figure in place, and generally, nobody causes trouble, even if he encounters Yan Hanshan, he wouldn’t dare do anything to us."
Yang Fenghou laughed, "Brother Chen, this is your first time here, you might want to take a look around first, I’ll go find a place to stay and let you know once I’ve found one!"
At this moment, Yang Fenghou, compared to the Yang Fenghou Chen Yu knew, seemed like a completely different person; the former was cold and hostile, while the latter seemed more like Chen Yu’s subordinate.
"Brother Chen, let me take you around."
Yang Yuhuan smiled cheerfully.
"Sure!"
Chen Yu nodded.
"Alright, I’ll go too."
Yang Hai said nonchalantly.
"What are you going for? Come with us and help Fenghou find a place to stay."
Another of the Yang Family’s disciples immediately grabbed Yang Hai and dragged him away.
"I want to go around with Sister Yuhuan!"
Yang Hai shouted.
"Go around my ass!" another person cursed and knocked on Yang Hai’s head.
After all, Chen Yu was an outsider, and the Yang Family had misunderstood him before; whether he would care about the Yang Family’s troubles in the future was unknown.
But if Chen Yu could be paired with Yang Yuhuan, that would be much more secure.
Fortunately, Yang Yuhuan also had a favorable impression of Chen Yu, making the success of this good event very likely.
Yang Yuhuan first led Chen Yu to the most bustling area, where the flow of people was tremendous, and there were shops and pavilions everywhere.
"When disciples of our Yang Family come to the Cultivation Spirit Hall, we always come here; you can basically buy everything!"
Yang Yuhuan explained slowly.
Chen Yu glanced around; there were various shops here selling Cultivation Techniques, Spirit Pills, Divine Weapons, and more.
The left side consisted mostly of less permanent private stalls, while the right side featured long-operating shops.
As these were mostly small shops, no rare items appeared, and the prices weren’t very high.
At the end, there was a treasure-hunting area.
Relatively speaking, there were the most people here, of all sorts.
"Each Cultivation Spirit Hall’s treasure-hunting area has a legendary story about a cultivator who accidentally discovered a treasure and soared to great heights from there!"
"Brother Chen, you might try your luck."
Yang Yuhuan said with a beaming smile, seemingly very pleased.
In fact, from the first meeting with Chen Yu, Yang Yuhuan had taken a liking to him.
During their prolonged interactions, this fondness gradually increased.
Especially half a year ago, when the Yang Family faced disaster, Chen Yu stepped forward, killed bandits, and repelled Yan Hanshan, which intensified Yang Yuhuan’s feelings for Chen Yu.
"By the way, Brother Chen, do you need anything? Like purchasing Cultivation Techniques, Spirit Pets, or Spiritual Artifacts?"
"In a month, you’re attending the Black Demon Valley’s entrance assessment, being more prepared will definitely yield better results."
Yang Yuhuan suddenly remembered she had been so busy introducing the area that she forgot to ask Chen Yu what he needed.
"I would like to refine an artifact!"
Chen Yu pondered for a moment.
He suddenly remembered he still had a pair of Golden Winged Phoenix wings to deal with.
Although the wings of the Golden Winged Phoenix were damaged, they were still relatively intact, capable of being crafted into a flying tool, with the feathers also able to be made into a special defense armor.
"Find someone with a good reputation and skill in artifact refining."
Chen Yu added another sentence.
Though there were powerful figures in the Cultivation Spirit Hall keeping order, and despite the large crowd, nothing chaotic had yet erupted, it was still relatively stable.
But the pair of wings Chen Yu had were from the Holy Beast Golden Winged Phoenix, whose real cultivation and strength were extremely high, limited only by the restraint of the Beast Taming Chain, allowing it to exhibit only the power of the Early-stage Sky Sea Realm.
"Okay!"
Yang Yuhuan nodded seriously and then began leading Chen Yu to look for a suitable place, although she was not very familiar with the area.
"Let’s go with this one!"
Soon, Yang Yuhuan found a palace that appeared extremely luxurious.
On the signboard in front, "Treasure Refining Hall" was engraved in bold, powerful lettering that exuded a majestic spirit.
Upon entering the Treasure Refining Hall, a young man dressed as an Artifact Refiner approached, "May I know if you are here to purchase or to custom-make a spiritual artifact?"
Indeed, the standards of this hall were quite high, dealing only in the sale and customization of spiritual artifacts, with lower-tier treasures not included in their trading scope.
"I have the materials and want to refine a high-grade flying treasure!"
Chen Yu stated his requirements.
Then, the young man led Chen Yu into a spacious room alone.
"Master Tong, this man wants to refine a flying treasure!"
The young man reported and then left.
"What kind of flying treasure do you want to refine, and please take out the materials."
This Master Tong, with a beard and slightly unkempt appearance, casually spoke.
At the moment, he was fiddling with some special components, not even glancing at Chen Yu.
Chen Yu’s cultivation was only in the Late Guiyuan Realm, so this order did not particularly interest him.
Chen Yu looked around. This place held many spiritual artifacts and treasures, but none were of high grade; it was mostly filled with low and medium grade items, with only two barely reaching high-grade.
The Golden Winged Phoenix’s wings were extremely precious. Chen Yu estimated they could at least be used to craft a high-grade treasure.
When the Golden Winged Phoenix’s claws were first found, they had caused Guardian Lan Yue to openly fight over them.
If the claws of the Golden Winged Phoenix were only good for refining mid-grade Spiritual Artifacts, they likely wouldn’t have caught her attention.
Seeing that Chen Yu did not respond right away and instead started examining his work, Master Tong’s face soon showed signs of hesitation and doubt.
"Kid, are you doubting my skills? Did you not ask around? My Artifact Refining skills are quite famous throughout the Cultivation Spirit Hall. Just give me the materials, and if I can’t refine something that fully utilizes the quality of the materials, you can write my name backwards!"
Master Tong spoke irritably and annoyed.
In his view, Chen Yu, who was in the Late Guiyuan Realm and accompanied by someone at the Peak of Middle Stage Guiyuan Realm, could only hope to refine something that at most reached the top end of mid-grade.
"Alright, what is your name?"
Chen Yu asked.
"…You!"
Master Tong momentarily paused, and after recovering, he was too angry to speak.
"Tong Fan!"
Master Tong suppressed the anger in his heart and voiced his name.
The next moment, Chen Yu took out the materials.
Immediately, a brilliant golden light illuminated the entire room, causing Master Tong’s eyes to blink fiercely.
Then, a powerful and terrifying flame’s essence pervaded the air, even causing a moment of trepidation in Master Tong.
"What is this!"
As soon as Master Tong saw the golden wings that Chen Yu had brought out, he immediately stood up, hurried closer, and reached out slowly to touch them.
"This is a Holy Beast’s material, and this Holy Beast was extremely powerful when it was alive!"
Master Tong’s heart trembled at the precious materials that he had seen before but had never personally used.
Suddenly, Master Tong recalled something, and his heart skipped a beat.
Having never used such precious materials for Artifact Refining, he indeed wouldn’t be able to fully realize the value of these wings.
"Right, take a look at these wings. If possible, could you merge them?"
Chen Yu took out a pair of black, damaged wings.
These were the spoils from a hunting competition he had won from Marquis Yunlai and until now, Chen Yu couldn’t identify what type of wings they were.
However, after reaching the Late Guiyuan Realm, the black damaged wings still significantly increased his speed and were surely not a low-grade item.
"These are… Yin Ming Bird wings!"
Master Tong gaped in surprise.
The Yin Ming Bird was an extremely rare treasure bird that lived in extremely yin places, moved like a shadow, and was very difficult to capture.
Nevertheless, the quality of a Yin Ming Bird’s wings was not very high, definitely not on par with the wings of a Golden Winged Phoenix.
Looking at the two materials, Master Tong had a look of being both amused and distressed.
With his ability, he could barely manage to use the wings of the Golden Winged Phoenix for refining, but the result wouldn’t be ideal.
If he had to fuse wings of different properties, the difficulty would be much higher.
"Just a moment, sir, I’ll go call the Chief Artifact Refiner from the Treasure Refining Hall!"
Master Tong wiped his sweat, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
"Go ahead…"
Chen Yu waved his hand.
As Master Tong was heading to the door, a voice sounded from behind, "By the way, your name sounds good spelled backwards!"
The name Tong Fan reversed in Master Tong’s mind, causing him to stumble on the threshold nearly falling.
"Master Tong Fan… idiot, haha!"
From behind, Yang Yuhuan couldn’t help but cover her mouth and laugh.
…
In the middle of a spacious hall sat an old man and five young people.
Above the hall hung a huge crystal chandelier casting a beautiful and dreamy pale halo.
A black-robed, aloof man took a sip of tea, and then smiled, "The tea here at Master Song’s is really good!"
"This ’Biluo Qiu’ is a treasure I’ve hoarded for many years, not something ordinary people can enjoy. If it weren’t for your visit, Young Master You, I wouldn’t have been willing to share it," replied an old man in a gray robe, smiling as he took a small sip.
Black-robed, aloof man You Lie said, "The Spiritual Artifacts we need customized this time will all be entrusted to Master Song."
"No problem, you’ll be satisfied," Master Song easily promised.
"The artifact or tool that increases speed which I’m ordering, be sure to use only the best materials!" You Lie emphasized.
Just then,
"Master Song?"
A knocking and calling sounded from outside the hall.
"What is it? Didn’t you see I’m entertaining important guests?" Master Song’s face darkened slightly as he chided softly.
"I have met Young Master You Lie!"
Master Tong glanced at the several men and women inside the hall and immediately spoke.
The You Clan, a clan that had once produced a Condensed Star Realm King, and its younger generation was full of geniuses.
"What’s the matter?"
Master Song asked.
"It’s like this, just now a client came to my shop to refine a treasure, but the materials he brought out, I can’t handle..."
Master Tong spoke somewhat plaintively, "He brought out the wings of a Mid-stage Sky Sea Realm Holy Beast, and also the extremely rare Yin Ming Bird wings!"
"Oh?"
You Lie, who had been waiting on the side somewhat bored, suddenly lifted his gaze upon hearing this and looked very interested, "Where is he? Take us there to have a look!"
