The rag picking sister turned out to be a weapon refiner

"Therefore, if you insist on buying it, I would like to ask you to try to take it out first. If you can't take it out, you can look for other methods. If there is a way to take it out, you can also trade the method with us."

After saying that, everyone's eyes turned to Hu Xingtong who was sitting next to him. This stone was what she wanted, and maybe she had a way to deal with it.

At this time, Hu Xingtong was also communicating with the system, asking about the extraction method.

He's right. There's indeed a thick, hard layer between the Frigid Refined Iron and the Tungsten Steel Jade. However, this layer itself is an extremely rare refining material, requiring special conditions to form. If you want to remove the Tungsten Steel Jade, separating the layer is simple. After separating the Frigid Refined Iron, use your Nine Gold Cold Star Fire to lower the temperature of the layer to around 1,000 degrees below zero and freeze it for at least seven days. Then, immediately raise the temperature to over 1,000 degrees and hold it there for at least seven days. Only under the dual pressure of extreme heat and extreme cold can the layer be separated.

"This method means I need to activate the Scanning Eye to control the temperature, and it also requires me to use a large amount of spiritual awareness. At my current level, I can only complete the purification of a small area at most."

[Yes, it can be considered as a disguised form of cultivating spiritual power.]

After getting the method, Hu Xingtong pulled the corner of Han Qianyu's clothes. Just as she was about to speak, Han Qianyu raised her hand to stop her. Then an invisible barrier rose from the side of everyone, isolating the sound.

Seeing this, Hu Xingtong said in a low voice with relief: "Senior Sister, I can separate, but my realm is not high enough now, so I can only complete a small separation. Moreover, I need a private space, and I can't tell him the separation method. Only I can do it."

Hearing Hu Xingtong's words, Han Qianyu and Ye Nanhe frowned at the same time. This made things a little tricky, but it was not impossible to talk about it.

After removing the barrier, Han Qianyu spoke first: "We have a way to separate them, but this method is unique to us and cannot be replicated by others. If you really need it, you can give all the stones to us and we will help you separate them."

"This..." The branch leader was a little hesitant. What they were interested in was not the tungsten steel jade, but the hard medium that was not afraid of fire or water and was extremely hard. If they sold it to a weapon refiner, they should be able to make a good price.

"This thing is not easy to separate and lasts for a long time. We can only separate one piece at a time." Ye Nanhe added calmly, looking calmly in the direction of Hu Xingtong.

Hu Xingtong was also looking at her. She didn't know whether Ye Nanhe had guessed what he said just now or had said it on purpose for the branch leader to hear. In short, each sentence corresponded to what the system said. As a result, Hu Xingtong felt very insecure. The feeling of being seen through was very uncomfortable.

"In that case, could you separate them right here and now and show me?" After a long silence, the leader of the branch seemed to be a little shaken, but still made a final struggle.

Hu Xingtong calmly tugged at the corner of Han Qianyu's clothes, and the latter understood, "Okay, but we need a separate secret room."

"Okay, this way please."

The branch leader was a little excited. This stone had been discovered a long time ago, but no one, whether a great master in the Spirit Transformation Realm or anyone else, could peel off the layer of medium inside, so that the stone had been placed on the display stand of each branch for a long time without anyone seeing it.

The branch leader was not stupid. He could see that the only one present who truly understood the material was the little girl in the goose yellow dress. He thought that she must be young and protected by two senior sisters. However, he would not discriminate against the young. As long as there was a way to separate that layer of medium, he would naturally be willing to make friends with her.

After bringing a few people to a secret room, the branch leader tactfully withdrew.

After everyone saw the branch leader leave, they each investigated for a while, and then Han Qianyu stepped down from the barrier again, and only then did they speak with confidence.

"Xingtong, are you sure?" Ye Nanhe asked.

Hu Xingtong nodded, looked at them for a long moment before speaking carefully: "How about you all go out first? During the separation process, anyone except me could be accidentally injured. Besides, it will take too long for me, at least fifteen days. I may need some elixirs to replenish my energy along the way."

Everyone agreed and left the room. Before leaving, Han Qianyu said, "Be careful. If anything happens, call us."

After leading everyone away, Hu Xingtong sat down with the stone and asked the system: "Xiao Wuzi, how was this medium formed?"

[Actually, this is a special chemical reaction that exists in your world. This stone must have been mined from a snowy mountain pass, one that was once a volcano. As a result, through the dual transitions of molten flames and magma and the mountaintop's icy cold, the tungsten steel jade and the extremely cold refined iron undergo an energy transformation, forming that special medium. Therefore, if you want to separate the medium, both physical and chemical separations must be performed simultaneously. As I said, release the Cold Star Fire first.]

Hu Xingtong did as she was told. This was the first time she released the strange fire after refining it.

The Scanning Eye was also opened simultaneously with the strange fire. The Scanning Eye assisted the spiritual consciousness to accurately control the temperature of the strange fire at about one thousand degrees below zero. The Nine Gold Cold Star Fire could be controlled to separate into the overheated Nine Gold Fire and the overcooled Cold Star Fire. The characteristic of the Cold Star Fire is that it has a burning property in the extreme cold. Only in this way can it bring about a burning reaction to the medium while maintaining the extremely cold temperature. Therefore, only Hu Xingtong can complete this separation task.

Hu Xingtong has already started the separation work inside the secret room, but Han Qianyu and others outside the secret room have already started to fight for her interests.

"You have also seen that my junior sister's cultivation is not very high, and it is also very difficult to separate her. If the separation is successful, what will you do?" Han Qianyu's tone was unfriendly, with a bit of alienation in her indifference, giving people a very cold and aloof feeling.

The branch leader felt the pressure from Han Qianyu's Nascent Soul stage and knew the importance of the person in the secret room. So, he said under pressure, "If your junior sister can really separate the stone, we at Huanyi Pavilion are willing to be friends with her for life. We will give her a 20% discount on all the materials she buys in the future. And you can take away all the results of this separation."

There was one point that the Pavilion Master didn't mention. If Hu Xingtong could really separate the stone, he must be a gifted weapon-refining genius. If he had a master, it would be fine. If not, they in the Changyi Pavilion still wanted to compete for it.

"Is the fairy from the Sword Controlling Sect?" The branch leader planned to test it out first.

Han Qianyu shook her head. She knew what he was thinking and didn't intend to hide it. "I am a disciple of Immortal Luo of Fanyun Sect."

Suddenly, the branch leader was struck by lightning. No wonder Hu Xingtong was so talented.

It seemed that the branch leader was somewhat glad for what he had just said. At least he had become friendly with him. However, he still planned to notify the Huanyi Pavilion at the foot of Fanyun Sect. At the very least, their Huanyi Pavilion must become the first organization to make friends with the genius.

Fifteen days passed in a flash. During this period, Han Qianyu and Tan Yuruo went in once each, put the food in, and then left.

On this day, which was the last day Hu Xingtong mentioned, everyone was waiting anxiously at the door of the secret room. Gu Sihe and Tan Yuruo were even more eagerly watching with a lot of food, fearing that Hu Xingtong would starve to death as soon as he left.

"Squeak-"

The door to the secret room opened, and a thin figure walked out. His face was clearly tired. Hu Xingtong looked up at everyone and smiled softly, "I'm glad I've fulfilled my mission."

Everyone smiled with relief when they heard this. They took the box from Hu Xingtong's hand and helped her sit aside. Gu Sihe and Tan Yuruo even pushed the food over and fed her.

Han Qianyu walked towards the branch leader with Hu Xingtong's box. The branch leader rubbed his hands and looked at the box with some anticipation.

Han Qianyu didn't waste any words. She opened the box and took a look at it herself. She was instantly amazed by what was inside. Then she handed the box to the branch leader with confidence, "Master, you keep your word, right?"

The branch leader took the box and took a look at it before saying anything, and asked the weapon refiner who had been waiting beside him for a long time to check it.

Soon, the weapon refiner exclaimed, "This technique not only separates the materials, but also purifies them. Now, whether it's the Arctic Refined Iron or the Tungsten Steel Jade, the purity has more than doubled compared to before! Pavilion Master, who created this? This technique is simply amazing. If you introduce it to me, I will definitely cultivate it well!"

"Really?" The branch leader couldn't believe it. He thought that being able to separate was good enough, but he didn't expect that it could be purified. Suddenly, there was a hint of difference in his eyes when he looked at Hu Xingtong.

"Of course I take it seriously. Not only is this technique more unique than those of us old guys who have been refining weapons for many years, even the purity of the quenching is more precise. This method is definitely a rare talent in the world." The weapon refiner was about to go crazy. He had just seen the child coming out of the secret room. He didn't dare to shout to the other senior sister, so he could only shout to the Pavilion Master.

Upon hearing this, Ye Nanhe and Han Qianyu each turned their gaze towards the three people who were eating. The surprise was suppressed in their eyes, but their faces showed relief.

"Alright, you can leave now. Don't tell anyone about what happened today. If anyone finds out, you'll be dead." The branch leader sternly stopped the weapon refiner's behavior, then turned to look at Han Qianyu and the others and handed the box back. "Fairy, I know the result. This is my jade slip for communication. If it's okay, please pass it on to the little fairy. If she needs anything in the future, please feel free to contact me. This is her parting gift, so I'll give it to her as a welcome gift. Of course, all your purchases here today will be 50% off. What do you think?"

Han Qianyu and Ye Nanhe looked at each other and knew what each other was thinking. The branch leader's action was to make friends with Hu Xingtong, the future leader, as well as with himself. It seemed that he had already investigated the identities of the two people clearly in these days.

"Thank you, Pavilion Master." The two naturally thanked the branch pavilion master, and the branch pavilion master also enthusiastically took them to continue shopping.
