Chapter 794: Chapter 793 I Think You Are Just Saying One Thing and Meaning Another (2 more updates)

What the hell, am I the kind of guy who gets beaten up often? It’s usually me who does the beating, okay?

Ye Haochuan curled his lips, then finally revealed his true intention.

”You want to refine a Spiritual Artifact? Are you sure you haven’t gone mad?” Hearing that Ye Haochuan wanted to refine a Spiritual Artifact, Zhu Qingshuang looked at him as if he were an idiot.

”Is there a problem?” Ye Haochuan suddenly felt a little puzzled.

”Young man, don’t aim too high!” Zhu Qingshuang advised him, ”You’re only at the Innate Mid-Stage of cultivation. If you forcibly use a Spiritual Artifact, aren’t you afraid of being drained dry?”

No matter the level of the Magical Treasure, it requires the user’s own Spiritual Energy to operate. The difference lies in the amount of Spiritual Energy required; lower-level Magical Treasures use less energy, so their power is also smaller. Higher-level Magical Treasures have greater power, and the consumption of Spiritual Power increases geometrically.

Generally, those who haven’t reached the Foundation Establishment Stage can’t use Spiritual Artifacts, otherwise, they might die from exhaustion of Spiritual Energy.

”Please, I didn’t say I’d use it right now, just preparing for the future!” Ye Haochuan retorted impatiently.

”Forget it, you’ve only reached Innate Mid-Stage at your age, which shows that your talent is mediocre. Whether you can overcome the Foundation Establishment barrier in this lifetime is still uncertain. Even if you can break through, it might take decades, preparing now, isn’t it a bit too early?” Zhu Qingshuang said with some disdain.

Dammit, isn’t this blatant contempt?

Ye Haochuan sneered inwardly, proudly saying, ”I forgot to tell you, I’ve reached the Innate Mid-Stage in less than three months since starting my cultivation. With such genius, could I possibly fail to establish a foundation?”

”Come on, there’s a limit to boasting, right? Even Yang Sen, who founded the Institute of Extensive Learning, took two years to reach the Innate Mid-Stage. You think you’re more talented than him?” Zhu Qingshuang said with a look of disdain.

Believe it or not, up to you!

Ye Haochuan absolutely didn’t want to argue with Zhu Qingshuang about this matter anymore. He had heard of Yang Sen’s name. Yang Sen was a legend, one of the most formidable figures in the Xuanmen presently.

Ye Haochuan’s current level of cultivation was far from sufficient to interact with Yang Sen, so no matter how he explained, no one would believe he could be more formidable than Yang Sen.

”Why worry so much? Are you afraid I’ll be drained dry, or could it be that you’ve fallen for me?” Ye Haochuan said teasingly.

”Don’t flatter yourself! I’d rather you die sooner!” Zhu Qingshuang suddenly blushed, her voice turning cold.

”Since you’d rather I die, then why don’t you practice with me? I see that you’re contradicting yourself; you have actually fallen for me long ago!”

”Bastard! Do you want to die?” Zhu Qingshuang bellowed, a hint of fury in her demeanor.

Langfan, who had been following behind Ye Haochuan, didn’t dare to interject. Seeing the situation, he was so frightened that his legs began to tremble.

What a joke, this was a high-level Foundation Establishment master. He, a mere Innate Early Stage trash, couldn’t even withstand a single breath from her!

Panicking, Langfan quickly tugged at Ye Haochuan’s clothing, whispering, ”Big brother, can you not seek death? Even if you want to die, I haven’t lived enough yet!”

Ye Haochuan ignored him, still speaking nonchalantly to Zhu Qingshuang, ”Stop pretending, I know you don’t have the heart to kill me!”

”Oh really? Then today I’ll show you whether I care or not,” Zhu Qingshuang snorted coldly and immediately produced an ancient zither, beginning to play it.

”Speaking of which, I suddenly remembered the underwear I washed last year hasn’t been hung up yet, I’ve got to go, carry on!”

Langfan, already scared half to death, turned around and started sprinting.

This world is too crazy; he, with his tiny arms and legs, really couldn’t keep up with Ye Haochuan’s recklessness!

”Damn, how could you be so heartless?”

Ye Haochuan quietly despised the lack of loyalty, but seeing Zhu Qingshuang’s murderous look, he knew he had overdone it. He immediately adopted a very ”wronged” expression and said, ”Ah, it’s really not easy being a good person these days. I tried to save someone, and I ended up risking my own life!”

”You...” Zhu Qingshuang was completely defeated by Ye Haochuan’s shamelessness. His tone clearly implied that she was ungrateful!

”Come on, why are you angry? Being angry all the time will give you wrinkles!” Ye Haochuan cooed.

”I’d rather have wrinkles than be angered to death by you!” Zhu Qingshuang snorted coldly and turned to leave.

”Hey, you haven’t helped me refine artifacts yet?” Ye Haochuan called out urgently.

”Refine your sister!” Zhu Qingshuang huffed heavily and walked away without looking back.

Damn, she’s just walking away like that?

Ye Haochuan felt a bit let down, but he wasn’t ready to give up just yet. It wasn’t easy to find a high-level artifact refiner capable of making spiritual artifacts, so how could he give up so easily?

Just as Ye Haochuan was about to catch up with her, he suddenly saw Zhu Liang running over.

”Boss Ye, do you really have Crimson Fire Essence?” Zhu Liang asked eagerly.

Shit, Langfan really has a big mouth, didn’t he? He’s already blabbed?

Ye Haochuan cursed inwardly. He had repeatedly told Langfan not to let too many people know about the Crimson Fire Essence. After all, this stuff is very tempting to cultivators below the Foundation Establishment Stage, and if word got out, it would mean big trouble for them.

Fortunately, Zhu Liang wasn’t an outsider. Knowing that he couldn’t keep it a secret any longer, Ye Haochuan nodded.

”Boss Ye, could you give me a piece? I’d like to add some to the magic artifact I’m crafting. Maybe it could boost the artifact to Law-Level Mid-Stage!” Zhu Liang said excitedly.

Damn, Crimson Fire Essence is supposed to be used for crafting spiritual artifacts. Using it for a Law-Level Mid-Stage magic artifact is such a waste of materials!

Ye Haochuan’s expression changed slightly, and he said with a faint smile, ”I don’t have much Crimson Fire Essence left, and I need it to create a spiritual artifact, so I probably can’t give you any...”

”Is that so?” Zhu Liang suddenly looked disappointed, ”Since you need it for crafting a spiritual artifact, I won’t insist. How prepared are you with the other materials? If everything is ready, with Elder Zhu’s refining skills, she should be able to help you craft a spiritual artifact soon.”

”Other materials? Can’t I just use the Crimson Fire Essence alone?” Ye Haochuan asked, puzzled.

”Of course not!” Zhu Liang explained, ”Although Crimson Fire Essence is an extremely rare high-level refinement material, if it’s used alone to craft a spiritual artifact, the artifact will be very fragile and easily damaged.”

”Moreover, such a spiritual artifact would require massive amounts of spiritual energy to operate. Even cultivators at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage wouldn’t dare to use it!”

Shit, so there are all these limitations. It turns out crafting a spiritual artifact isn’t as simple as I thought.

”Do you know what other materials are needed then?” Ye Haochuan asked.

”Hundred-Refined Meteoric Iron is essential, but it’s not easy to get. If you want to enhance the performance of the spiritual artifact, you could also add some ores with special properties, such as Thunderstone or Cold Ice Ore. However, these materials aren’t common, so it depends on your luck,” Zhu Liang replied earnestly.

Ye Haochuan felt like cursing. No wonder spiritual artifacts are so rare, not only are high-level artifact refiners scarce, but the materials are also hard to come by!

Looks like I’ll need to pay more attention to those materials from now on!
