The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2840: Distant Water Cannot Put Out a Nearby Fire

What do you want to refine?

"Well, I'd say it's a flying sword."

Lin Chen acquired over a thousand crystal scorpion tail stings while exploring the world of Juxian Island, but hadn't yet found a suitable opportunity to refine them. Firstly, he was on a journey, and secondly, the crystal scorpion tail stings were incredibly hard with an extremely high melting point, making them impossible for most weapon refiners to refine with the corresponding refining fire.

Now that he heard there was a weapon-refining master competition here, Lin Chen was immediately intrigued.

Next, we'll head to the Crimson Immortal Realm. No one knows what we'll encounter, so it's always good to be prepared.

The next day, Lin Chen and Gong Jianying got up early and left the small building. However, as soon as they left the mountain gate, a figure streaked across the sky like a streak of light and chased after them.

"Junior Sister Gong, wait a moment."

Upon hearing this voice, Gong Jianying rolled his eyes, because the voice belonged to Wanyan Jie.

It must have been Wanyan Jie who specifically gave the order. Someone was watching his movements, and as soon as he left, they notified Wanyan Jie, who rushed over immediately.

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow, his eyes full of amusement.

It has to be said that it's quite interesting to look at such things from an outsider's perspective.

Wanyan Jie landed in front of the two of them and smiled, "Junior Sister, where are you going? Why did you leave without saying a word?"

Gong Jianying smiled politely: "Isn't Xuanbai Valley having a weapon-refining competition? There's still some time before the birthday banquet, so we're planning to go and see what's going on."

Wanyan Jie laughed and said, "The weapon refining competition? Our Xuan Kong Sect is the organizer. Since you two are so interested, I will accompany you."

Gong Jianying couldn't refuse, since she had already declined to accompany him yesterday, but Wanyan Jie had said something like, "My only task is to take good care of my junior sister." If she refused again, it would be tantamount to turning against him.

"Then I'll trouble you, senior brother."

Wanyan Jie laughed and said, "Don't be so polite. We're not strangers. Let's go, I'll lead the way."

The two became three, and after traveling for half a day, they arrived at Xuanbai Valley.

"The reason why the weapon-refining competition is held in Xuanbai Valley is because there is a purple fire vein below Xuanbai Valley, which contains naturally formed purple fire. With just a little guidance, it can be used to refine weapons." "Although the purple fire cannot be considered the top-level weapon-refining fire, its quality is still first-class, much more powerful than the earth core fire used by most weapon refiners in the world."

"Our Xuan Kong Sect is holding a weapon-refining competition this time. Not only are the prizes generous, but we also promise that as long as you achieve a certain ranking, you will receive a furnace of purple fire. Because of this, weapon refiners from all over the world are flocking here, creating the current grand occasion. After all, which weapon refiner doesn't want to have a weapon-refining fire of excellent quality?"

Wanyan Jie led the two into Xuanbai Valley, proudly explaining the origins of this year's weapon-refining competition.

"Junior sister, if you have anything you want to refine, I can introduce you to a famous weapon-refining master..."

Gong Jianying glanced at Lin Chen subconsciously, and Lin Chen shook his head slightly.

Lin Chen didn't want Gong Jianying to owe Wan Yanjie a favor because of his own affairs. Since there were so many weapon-refining masters, as long as he offered enough compensation, someone would surely be willing to take the job.

Besides, there is another reason: Lin Chen has too many crystal scorpion stingers. If it takes a long time to refine one stinger into a flying sword, how long would it take to refine more than a thousand stingers?

The Bitter Sea Immortal Realm was just a stop on Lin Chen's journey; he didn't have time to wait there.

Lin Chen's plan was to consult with a master craftsman to find out how long it would take to refine these tail spikes and how difficult it would be. If it was very difficult and time-consuming, then Lin Chen would give up for the time being and make a decision after arriving in the Crimson Immortal Realm.

If the refining time is short, Lin Chen can wait. After all, he still needs to help Duan Tian Dao Ren find his daughter, which will take up some time. Or, if the refining technique is not difficult, Lin Chen may consider learning weapon refining.

Lin Chen didn't have high requirements for the crafting of these thousand-plus tail spikes. As long as the quality was acceptable, that was fine. After all, his Primordial Myriad Swords Technique didn't rely on the power of a single flying sword; it relied on controlling thousands upon thousands of flying swords.

Gong Jianying laughed and said, "We're just taking a stroll since we have nothing else to do. My sixth senior brother is quite skilled at weapon crafting; many of our good items were made by him."

Wanyan Jie laughed as if he had forgotten, "Oh right, I forgot. Uncle Taixu is a renowned master craftsman. Even his disciples are master craftsmen. Why would we need to find someone else outside?"

A master craftsman?

Is Master Taixu really that powerful?

It's a pity that Master Taixu isn't on Mount Taixu, and even the weapon-refining master Brother Liu that Gong Jianying mentioned isn't here either, otherwise I could have consulted him.

A distant solution can't quench a nearby fire!
