The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 1263 - 1256: Insane Refinement! Is He Even Human?

After Ye Chenfeng left the Ziyun Auction House, he deliberately wandered the streets for a long while. Once he was sure that no one was following him, he cautiously walked into a deserted alleyway. When he walked back out, his appearance had returned to its original state.

Upon leaving the alley, Ye Chenfeng went straight back to his room at the inn. Inside, He Ping, Huang Chongyi, and Xiang Xiaoyi were already waiting for him. As for Little Bai, the Nine Nether Ice Lion, the moment it saw Ye Chenfeng, it immediately leaped into his arms, its small head nuzzling against his chest incessantly.

Ye Chenfeng gently patted Little Bai and then turned to the three who were looking at him expectantly. Calmly, he asked, "He Ping, did you three manage to find out which stores in Tianyao City still sell Ethereal Stones?"

He Ping replied, "Boss, through our investigation, there are still seven stores in Tianyao City that sell Ethereal Stones. However, the quantity in each shop isn’t much."

Unable to hold back, Huang Chongyi eagerly asked, "Boss, how many Spirit Stones did the storage ring you crafted fetch at auction?"

Glancing at the impatient Huang Chongyi, Ye Chenfeng took out 3,000 High Grade Spirit Stones from his storage ring. When Huang Chongyi and the others saw the pile of Spirit Stones on the ground, their entire bodies began trembling with excitement. He Ping swept the stones with his Divine Sense and immediately discerned the number. Stammering, he said, "B-Boss, there are 3,000 High Grade Spirit Stones here? That one storage ring sold for 3,000 High Grade Spirit Stones?"

Although He Ping and the others had mentally prepared themselves, seeing 3,000 High Grade Spirit Stones laid out before them still left them utterly unable to remain composed.

Ye Chenfeng shook his head and said, "These 3,000 High Grade Spirit Stones are for you. The storage ring fetched a total of 50,000 High Grade Spirit Stones."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

He Ping, Huang Chongyi, and Xiang Xiaoyi froze instantly. Their expressions solidified, their minds went blank, and they stood there like wooden statues. Their disbelieving eyes were fixed on Ye Chenfeng in utter shock.

After a long moment, Huang Chongyi was the first to recover. Swallowing hard, he said, "B-Boss, did that storage ring really sell for 50,000 High Grade Spirit Stones?"

"Do I need to lie to you?" Ye Chenfeng casually shrugged and replied.

Once it was confirmed to be true, Huang Chongyi said again, "Boss, we can’t accept these Spirit Stones! You earned them yourself. The fact that we were able to make it out of the Ice Holy Land alive is already thanks to your kindness."

"That’s right, Boss," He Ping seconded firmly. "Huang Chongyi is right. We absolutely can’t take these Spirit Stones."

Xiang Xiaoyi hurriedly chimed in, "Boss, you’d better put these Spirit Stones away!"

From the moment He Ping and the others had acknowledged Ye Chenfeng as their leader in the Ice Holy Land, to the time they had spent together since, Ye Chenfeng had wholly come to accept the trio, treating them as true friends. When it came to his friends and brothers, Ye Chenfeng was always exceptionally generous.

Ye Chenfeng waved his hand and said, "If you don’t accept these Spirit Stones, then from now on, I’m no longer your boss."

"Boss!" the trio exclaimed in unison upon hearing Ye Chenfeng’s words. How could they not understand their boss’s intentions? Their eyes grew misty, and each of them reluctantly took 1,000 High Grade Spirit Stones into their respective storage rings.

It must be noted that even in a lifetime, He Ping and the others might never have been able to amass 1,000 High Grade Spirit Stones, let alone own such a rare item as a storage ring. Yet, ever since they had allied with Ye Chenfeng as their boss, what once seemed like impossible dreams were becoming reality, one after another. Their hearts were filled with unending gratitude for Ye Chenfeng. For him, they felt they wouldn’t hesitate to lay down their lives in the future, not even batting an eye.

"Alright, you three help me purchase more Ethereal Stones. But you’d better split up while buying them so no one notices you. I plan to craft more storage rings, and once we’ve earned enough, we’ll leave Tianyao City immediately," Ye Chenfeng instructed.

"Understood, Boss! We’ll go buy the Ethereal Stones now," the trio replied before rushing out of the room.

About three hours later.

In the room’s inner chamber.

Ye Chenfeng sat cross-legged on the floor. In front of him were 16 Ethereal Stones of varying sizes, costing a total of 130 High Grade Spirit Stones. He Ping and the others had purchased these discreetly to avoid drawing attention. Although they could only buy so many Ethereal Stones at a time, it was sufficient for Ye Chenfeng’s crafting.

With a rough estimate, Ye Chenfeng figured that these Ethereal Stones could be used to craft around 100 storage rings.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Chenfeng immediately set to work crafting storage rings. Having gained experience from before, he found the process much smoother this time. One storage ring after another took shape in his hands as he became wholly absorbed in crafting. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

Time passed quickly, and eight hours flew by in the blink of an eye.

By this point, the floor was already piled high with 90 storage rings. When Ye Chenfeng had crafted the 50th ring, he had started to feel a dull ache in his head. But when he thought about the astonishing profits these storage rings could bring, he gritted his teeth and pressed on.

With only two Ethereal Stones—one large, one small—remaining, the pain in his head grew sharper. After a brief one-minute rest, he resumed crafting. When these last two Ethereal Stones had been transformed into the final 10 storage rings, Ye Chenfeng could hold out no longer. He collapsed to the floor, his head wracked with waves of sharp pain.

However, as he gazed at the 100 storage rings spread across the ground, a faint, satisfied smile formed at the corners of his lips. Just then, the voice of the shadowy figure, Jiang Yuntian, rang out in his mind.

Breathing heavily, Jiang Yuntian exclaimed, "Damn it! Am I seeing things? Kid, are you trying to drive me insane? You—you actually crafted 100 storage rings in one go? Are you even human?!"

Earlier, Jiang Yuntian had refrained from interrupting Ye Chenfeng, who had been entirely focused on crafting. He had assumed that 10 storage rings would be Ye Chenfeng’s limit. Who would have guessed the boy would manage to produce 100 instead? This left Jiang Yuntian utterly beside himself.

Crafting storage rings was extraordinarily taxing on one’s mental energy. Back when Jiang Yuntian had first comprehended Space Law and reached the Divine Thought Realm, he could only craft 10 storage rings at once, even with his prodigious talent. And after crafting those 10, he needed a month to recover before attempting another round due to the immense strain on his mental faculties.

But Ye Chenfeng? He was merely at the fourth level of the Spirit Communication Realm, and yet he crafted 100 storage rings in one go. What kind of monster was this?

It was worth noting that the two Artifact Refiners in the Refining Sect who had also mastered Space Law could only produce 100 storage rings in an entire year. Each ring they crafted required a long period of recovery. If they found out that Ye Chenfeng had completed their annual production quota in just a few hours—and with each ring boasting a larger internal space than theirs—they would likely conclude that they were as worthless as pigs. They might even shamelessly beg Ye Chenfeng to take them on as disciples!

Hearing Jiang Yuntian’s incredulous rant, Ye Chenfeng retorted inwardly, "What’s the matter? Weren’t you calling me a blockhead earlier? Admit it—you’re just envious of my talent. Back when you first mastered Space Law, there’s no way you could’ve crafted 100 storage rings in one go."

Jiang Yuntian, struck where it hurt the most, had indeed only managed to craft a tenth of what Ye Chenfeng had. Moreover, back then, Jiang Yuntian had been two entire cultivation stages stronger than Ye Chenfeng was now! His frustration bubbled uncontrollably, and he decided not to humor Ye Chenfeng further, lest he aggravate himself to death.

Jiang Yuntian realized it was best not to compare himself to this anomaly of a human. Otherwise, he might really lose his mind.
