The Path of Craftsmen, The Home of Master Craftsmen

Over at the small black hole, silence suddenly fell.

Several seconds later, that honest voice, trembling with disbelief, finally spoke up:

"Fellow Daoist, you... you really have five extra?"

Jiang Xuan said with certainty:

"Precisely."

The honest voice said:

"If fifteen purple star fruits are added, then my heaven-ranked magical tool can almost be completed immediately! Fellow Daoist, besides the coiling dragon axe, what else do you want? Anything I have, I can exchange for it!"

Jiang Xuan was delighted, but his voice remained calm:

"Since Fellow Daoist needs these purple star fruits so much, then I will part with all of them for you. As for what I want, I've recently become quite interested in the Dao of Artifact Refining."

The honest voice immediately said:

"Easy to say, easy to say, Fellow Daoist, I will immediately give you our Sect's secret Artifact Refining method along with the coiling dragon axe!"

The next moment, the small black hole flashed with light, and a palm-sized, pitch-black axe along with a Jade Slip appeared on the ground.

Jiang Xuan was quite surprised to see this.

Good gracious, this Heaven-rank Artifact Refiner's character was indeed as honest as his voice; he actually gave him the items first!

One must know that even the previous Senior, who had excellent character, only gave him the trade items after he had first given the outer heaven geng metal.

"Fellow Daoist is truly straightforward; I will give you all fifteen purple star fruits now!"

Jiang Xuan said with a smile, throwing all fifteen purple star fruits into the black hole.

Instantly, an extremely joyful voice rang out from within the small black hole.

"Good! Thank you, Fellow Daoist! If you need any Magical Artifacts refined in the future, or encounter any difficulties in the Dao of Artifact Refining, feel free to find me next time we meet!"

As soon as the words fell, the small black hole vanished instantly.

Jiang Xuan let out a long breath, still somewhat disbelieving, and looked at the Jade Slip on the ground.

He had originally thought it would take at least several months or even years to obtain an Artifact Refining method, but he had gotten it so quickly!

Moreover, it was from a Heaven-rank Artifact Refiner!

Jiang Xuan first picked up the coiling dragon axe and immediately put it into his space box.

At first glance, the coiling dragon axe didn't seem special; its entire body was pitch black, giving it an ancient and grand feel, without even any patterns.

The moment Jiang Xuan touched it, the true essence in his body began to boil, and he felt a destructive power emanating from the axe.

As an earth-rank magic tool, this coiling dragon axe was certainly extraordinary. He decided to explore it slowly later. He bent down to pick up the Jade Slip that recorded the Artifact Refining method and, with practiced ease, placed it against his forehead.

The next moment, the Jade Slip shattered with a bang, transforming into thousands of crystal lights that danced in the air before all rushing into Jiang Xuan's forehead!

Jiang Xuan didn't even have time to react; his brain felt like it was being smashed, and the pain was immense. His nose immediately gushed with blood.

He uncontrollably fell backward, clutching his head with both hands, in so much pain that he even rolled around.

But from beginning to end, he endured without making a sound.

It was a full half an hour before the intense pain subsided.

Jiang Xuan lay on the ground, limbs spread out, gasping for breath as if he had just survived a catastrophe.

And at this moment, his brain was almost completely filled with Artifact Refining knowledge and methods!

All this information related to Artifact Refining, combined, was more than ten or even a hundred times the amount of information from all his memories of two lives!

"Fortunately, this Jade Slip is also quite extraordinary; it seems to have the effect of protecting the Divine Soul and body. Otherwise, such a massive amount of knowledge, the moment it was crammed into my mind, my Divine Soul would probably have collapsed along with my body..."

Jiang Xuan understood that the honest Heaven-rank Artifact Refiner was unlikely to harm him.

The reason he didn't specifically mention the extreme pain one would suffer when mastering this Artifact Refining method was most likely because... he thought Jiang Xuan was also a strong practitioner who could endure such pain, or perhaps wouldn't even feel any pain.

"Artifact Refiners, especially Heaven-rank Artifact Refiners, should hold a very respected position in that Fantasy World. He saw that my tone was normal when speaking with him, so he probably subconsciously took me for a Holy Land's Holy Master or a great Sect's Sect Master..." Jiang Xuan secretly took note of this lesson before choosing to begin trying to digest the Artifact Refining method he had obtained.

"Qiankun Artifact Refining Method... what a domineering name!"

"Artifact Refiners are also divided into Yellow Rank, Profound Rank, Earth Rank, and Heaven Rank... as long as one can refine Magical Artifacts of the corresponding grade, they can be promoted?"

"I wonder what level of Artisan in our world a Yellow Rank Artifact Refiner is equivalent to..."

After digesting it for a little over an hour, Jiang Xuan found that he had almost mastered how to refine Yellow Rank Magical Artifacts!

Of course, what he had mastered were the methods; the specifics still required practice.

"Perfect, when I sell those four bottles of star core water, I'll find a House of Heavenly Craftsmanship to try it out..."

The House of Heavenly Craftsmanship is an exclusive organization that most Artisans in the Human Federation join, with dedicated venues established in every human city.

Whether it's selling star core water or buying or selling artisan items, the House of Heavenly Craftsmanship is the best place to go.

Jiang Xuan stood up, took out his phone, and checked the time. It showed 10:23.

"Oh no, I'm going to be late!"

He only then realized that he had been delayed for a full two hours because he was trying to master the Qiankun Artifact Refining Method!

He immediately washed up quickly and rushed to school. Fortunately, Lei City No. 1 Middle School's exclusive Secret Realm was only opening in the afternoon.

Otherwise, he really would have missed it... At 10:35 AM, Jiang Xuan arrived punctually... er... just in time at the classroom door.

The Classmates were originally all standing in theirstance training (Zhan Zhuang) stances or practicing combat techniques, the class bustling with activity.

But as soon as they saw Jiang Xuan appear, everyone immediately stopped what they were doing and swarmed towards him.

"Brother Xuan, you're awesome! Did you really kill two Transfer Students?"

"Brother Xuan, you might not know, but Feng Lin has already spread the word that he'll look out for you from now on. My goodness, having the Grandson of a Martial Emperor look out for you is something I wouldn't even dare to dream of!"

"Can you tell us about what happened last night? I'm so curious!"

Jiang Xuan thought, why hadn't he noticed before that his Classmates were so gossipy?

Liu Qingqing's voice rang out, stopping the topic in time.

"Classmates, have all your qi and blood values broken through 1000? If you don't work harder and can't get into a good Martial Arts University, don't regret it and cry later ~"

Her tone was teasing, not at all strict, but it was surprisingly effective. The Classmates reluctantly dispersed, returning to their original positions and resuming their training.

Only Yu Xiaoyu remained standing where she was.

Her long legs were crossed under her short skirt, and a sweet, fashionable smile was on her face: "Jiang Xuan, you finally showed up. Feng Lin almost thought you were assassinated by Hai Tongtian's men."
