Dashing Student-Chapter 1249: Forging Weapons

Liu Hanyue's words were as fierce as a tiger's, but it wasn't that she lacked cunning; she simply preferred not to show it in front of her disciple.

Unlike other Nascent Soul Realm cultivators who fought their way to the top, she grew up in a cultivation family, always having her way, and faced little resistance in reaching the Nascent Soul Realm.

Compared to those old and wise Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, she was more straightforward and direct.

Zhou Mingyu was speechless, his master's words going in one ear and out the other, and he sighed in his heart: "This family will fall apart without me!"

When Liu Hanyue arrived at the room where Chen Nan was, he was already gone, leaving only a note on the table.

"Thank you for your help, Master. I've accompanied you for three days, and we're now even."

Liu Hanyue felt as if the sky had fallen; how could her husband run away before she even explained? She hurriedly sent people out to search.

Unfortunately, no one had spent much time with Chen Nan and only knew he came from a far-off place, but they didn't know where exactly, making the search difficult.

Only the little sister from Sea Wave Island seemed very happy.

"Hehe, Master, you can't keep him, so I still have a chance in the future!"

The news of Master Hanyue's husband's disappearance wasn't known to others except for a few disciples from Sea Wave Island, but they did notice that Master Hanyue, as if possessed, went to fight Master Panshi.

No one knew the outcome of that battle, only that Master Panshi's cave was reduced to ruins.

...

On the other side, Chen Nan had left Sea Wave Island, thinking how absurd the past few days had been, being dragged into becoming a shield.

Although he didn't suffer any loss and, due to dual cultivation with the Nascent Soul True Man, his cultivation restored, advancing from the Golden Core Third Layer Middle Stage to the Third Layer Perfection.

Yet, he still felt somewhat uncomfortable in his heart.

But now that Chen Nan left Sea Wave Island, he gradually left those matters behind as he made his way towards Luoyue Island.

On the way, Chen Nan found a large island called Flying Star Island, which had a huge city with a population of several million, comparable to the cities on the Nine Provinces Continent. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

He stopped because he wanted to process the corpses of the twelve Jiao Longs, as such precious materials should not go to waste.

Chen Nan first collected the dragon scales, dragon horns, and dragon gallbladders and set them aside, selling all the spiritual materials from the Foundation Establishment Realm, while keeping those from Jiao Dao for himself.

There was an Artifact Refining Workshop on the island, run by a skilled artifact refiner at the Fifth Level of the Nascent Soul Realm, known as the "number one artifact refiner of the East Sea."

Chen Nan came to the island aiming for this artifact refiner.

After gathering all the spiritual materials from the Jiao Longs, Chen Nan went to the Artifact Refining Workshop, which was quite different from what he imagined.

There weren't any magnificent buildings, just a row of small huts, with a few workshops in front where shirtless artifact refiners were forging spiritual artifacts.

It didn't match the reputation of the "number one artifact refiner of the East Sea."

Chen Nan approached a muscular artifact refiner with a tuft of white beard, courteously asking: "Is this Master Gongshu Wu's Artifact Refining Workshop?"

The artifact refiner, busy forging a spiritual artifact, didn't even raise his head, continuing to hammer a piece of spiritual material: "What do you want?"

"I have some materials and would like to ask the master to craft something for me."

After speaking, Chen Nan presented dragon scales from the sixth-layer Golden Core Realm Jiao Long and a complete dragon bone to the artifact refiner.

Seeing that they were indeed spiritual materials from a Jiao Long, the artifact refiner's eyes lit up, eagerly approaching to inspect each scale, nodding continuously.

"Not bad, not bad, these are Jiao Long scales. I haven't seen such top-grade spiritual materials in years. It's a pity the cultivation level is a bit low, only the sixth-layer Golden Core Realm, else we could attempt to refine a Fifth-grade Spiritual Armor."

This remark left Chen Nan stunned. A Fifth-grade Spiritual Armor is a supreme treasure capable of withstanding attacks from Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, each piece having immeasurable value.

What shocked him the most was the identity of this elderly man before him. After a moment of thought, he saluted immediately: "Greetings, Master Gongshu."

Gongshu Wu waved his hand, appearing indifferent: "No need for formalities, I'm just an old man. Leave the spiritual materials, and I'll personally craft a piece of spiritual armor for you."

"Thank you, Master. How many Spirit Stones will it cost?" Chen Nan couldn't believe his luck, having Master Gongshu, the foremost artifact refiner of the East Sea, crafting for him.

Gongshu Wu frowned, thinking aloud: "We'll need to add a few more types of spiritual materials, so the cost..."

"Fine, I'll charge you the cost price, fifty million low-grade Spirit Stones, and I'll still be losing money."

Chen Nan gulped; fifty million low-grade Spirit Stones would nearly cost him his entire fortune, an expense so painful he could barely breathe.

"By the way, what do you want the Jiao Long bone refined into?" Gongshu Wu inquired, inspecting the bone.

Chen Nan thought for a moment. He didn't lack spiritual artifacts, and crafting it into a weapon seemed wasteful since he still had over a hundred unused Flame Brilliance Daggers.

Quickly, he got an idea and said eagerly: "Please refine it into arrows, Senior."

He possessed the Yun family's ancestral Sun-shooting Bow, capable of condensing mana arrows with great power, but using Jiao Long bones to craft them would surely enhance their strength.

This way, it could become one of his means, as currently, the Sun-shooting Bow had no place in his arsenal.

"Alright, that will be another twenty million," Gongshu Wu said without looking up, as if twenty million Spirit Stones were nothing: "Oh, and give me some Jiao Long Essence Blood, it's needed for refining."

Chen Nan nodded, but his combined Spirit Stones weren't enough for seventy million. Since he hadn't been neglecting his cultivation, the usage of Spirit Stones was still high.

"Senior, may I use spiritual materials as payment?"

"Show me," Gongshu Wu was intrigued; someone who could present Jiao Long materials must have other treasures.

However, the spiritual materials Chen Nan brought out were disappointing, still Jiao Long materials but all from the Foundation Establishment Realm, barely enough to forge Eighth-grade Spiritual Artifacts.

The difference between Eighth-grade and Seventh-grade Spiritual Artifacts is tenfold, and between Seventh-grade and Sixth-grade Spiritual Artifacts a hundredfold. A Sixth-grade Spiritual Artifact could cost tens of millions, or even over a billion Spirit Stones.

Materials from the Foundation Establishment Realm could at most be crafted into Eighth-grade Spiritual Artifacts, with Jiao Long materials not being of high value. All the Foundation Establishment Realm Jiao Long materials combined would only deduct thirty million.

Chen Nan painfully brought out materials from two Golden Core Realm Jiao Longs, recently advanced young Jiao Longs, yet being in the Golden Core Realm, their price soared tenfold immediately.
