A great emperor master every day—the good-for-nothing young master is having a blast!

"All the refining materials in Jiangcheng Auction House?"

Upon hearing Chen Yue's words, the smile on Director Shan's face instantly became somewhat unnatural.

They had assumed that Chen Yue had come to the auction house because he had some treasure to consign for auction, so that he could make a fortune.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yue came to buy something.

"Mr. Chen, please wait a moment, I'll have someone take care of it right away!"

The bank manager clapped his hands, "Little Zhang!"

Upon hearing the bank manager's call, Ms. Zhang, the receptionist, pushed open the door to the VIP room and quickly walked over.

After a moment's thought, Director Shan said, "Have Xiao Wu bring over all the refining materials from the auction house, including those that haven't been auctioned yet. Be quick about it."

Ms. Zhang quickly agreed, "Yes, bank manager, I'll take care of it right away."

I sat in the VIP room, waiting patiently.

Eating Zhiling cake and drinking warm Zhiling tea, I satisfied my taste buds first thing in the morning.

Recalling the Jiangcheng auction house incident a while ago, Chen Yue's pockets were filled with tens of millions of high-grade source stones.

As for that bastard, his body is probably already cold.

Not long after, a burly young man entered through the door, carrying a black storage bag.

"Manager, it's all in here." Xiao Wu shook the storage bag in his hand and handed it to Manager Shan with both hands.

The bank manager reached out and took the storage bag, then waved to the young man, "I understand, you can go back now."

Once the door closed, only Chen Yue and Director Shan remained in the VIP room.

"Mr. Chen, please take a look."

The bank manager skillfully unlocked the storage bag and laid out all the refining materials inside on the ground.

The sheer number of them left Chen Yue speechless with astonishment.

This VIP room isn't particularly large, but it's not small either; it's probably around 100 square meters.

Given the size of the space, it was almost impossible to put it all in.

Chen Yue looked at the dazzling array of crystals, his eyes were too blurry, and he couldn't tell which piece was good and which was bad.

"Mr. Chen, please let me know which piece you're interested in."

"A promise made by the bank manager is a promise that cannot be taken back. I will certainly not forget the promise I made to Mr. Chen at the Chen family back then."

"No matter how many pieces you choose, we'll give you a 90% discount!"

As Director Shan said these words, he became excited.

Who would dare say something like "10% off everything"?

"Chen Yue is right here. Thank you, Director Shan!"

Immediately afterwards, Chen Yue began to pick and choose.

While seeking advice from Teacher Tianji, they also learned about selecting materials for weapon crafting.

Pick up a piece of colorful crystal and turn it over and over; you can clearly see the energy flowing within it.

Chen Yue subconsciously believed that this material must be extraordinary and could definitely be used to forge an unparalleled divine weapon.

"Teacher Tianji, what do you think of this one?"

Chen Yue's heart pounded, and his hands holding the crystal trembled slightly.

Tianji glanced at it and said without pausing, "Trash, throw it away."

"Trash...garbage?"

Chen Yue glanced at the colorful crystal in his hand, then looked up at the Heavenly Emperor.

Seeing his serious expression, Chen Yue had no choice but to reluctantly throw away the crystal.

"Teacher Tianji, is this material really that bad?"

The Heavenly Emperor explained, "It's not that it's terrible, but it's still quite capable of producing an earth-based weapon."

After listening to Teacher Tianji's words, Chen Yue no longer lingered on the crystal.

His target materials today are at least at the Heavenly Soldier level; Earthly Soldier materials are simply not good enough.

The room was filled with refining materials, totaling at least a thousand crystals.

Each time, Chen Yue would excitedly gather the selected crystals or spirit iron together and ask Teacher Tianji for his opinion.

After just one glance, Tianji gave a very fair evaluation.

"Throw it away, it's all trash."

At a glance, there wasn't a single piece of material that even the Heavenly Emperor had his eye on.

The thousands of materials laid out on the ground, whether crystals or spirit iron, were all garbage without exception.

Better ones can even create earth-based soldiers, while worse ones struggle to even create mystical soldiers.

Tianji sighed softly and asked, "My beloved disciple, is there anything else?"

Chen Yue's expression was complicated. He hadn't expected that the entire Jiangcheng Auction House couldn't produce a single piece of material that Tianji considered worthless.

The bank manager stood to one side, quietly watching Chen Yue pick and choose.

From a beaming smile at the beginning, he gradually became puzzled.

Seeing Chen Yue pick up a piece of material, he was all smiles one second, but the next he was sighing.

The constant changes in attitude left the branch manager at a loss.

Will the items in the auction house suit Mr. Chen's taste?

Just as Director Shan was feeling anxious, Chen Yue suddenly asked, "Director Shan, is this all there is?"

The bank manager subconsciously touched the storage bag at his waist. In fact, he had a few privately kept items, which were his treasured possessions.

I usually wouldn't even take it out for myself to look at, let alone let outsiders choose from it.

"With so many refining materials, Mr. Chen didn't take a single one of them?"

Chen Yue felt helpless. If he were to choose, he could at least pick something worth ten or eight yuan.

However, with the Heavenly Emperor present, in his eyes, not a single crystal or spirit iron in the room was worth considering.

In response to the question raised by Director Shan, Chen Yue replied truthfully, "No, for the time being. If there are any other materials, may I take a look?"

"This..." Director Shan was caught in a dilemma.

He placed his right hand on the storage pouch at his waist, hesitating whether to take it out.

Seeing that Director Shan looked embarrassed, Chen Yue simply gave him a slightly apologetic smile.

"Since there isn't one, Chen Yue won't bother Director Shan any longer."

Seeing that Chen Yue was about to leave, Director Shan decided to take out his storage bag and bring out his treasured possessions.

"Mr. Chen, please wait!"

The bank manager took out his storage bag and put out a conspicuous dark blue crystal and a piece of gray spirit iron that was cracked beyond recognition.

They were placed on the table with utmost care, as if they were afraid of bumping or damaging the two pieces.

As soon as they were placed there, Chen Yue could tell at a glance that these two pieces of material were different from what he expected.

Compared to the materials on the ground, it is clearly on a new level.

The deep blue crystal and gray spirit iron drew Chen Yue's gaze involuntarily to the crystal.

Upon closer inspection, it appears crystal clear, with patterns within the crystal resembling surging waves.

After just one glance, Chen Yue was certain that this deep blue crystal would definitely satisfy Teacher Tianji.

Chen Yue looked at Teacher Tianji with anticipation, only to find that his attention was completely drawn to the gray spirit iron.

"Is this piece of spirit iron the real good thing?"

With this thought in mind, Chen Yue suddenly became less confident.

Compared to the deep blue crystal, this piece of gray spirit iron seemed rather ordinary.

Does that mean that anything that looks glamorous is actually bad?

"sky......"

"Rubbish."

Those two familiar words again. The Heavenly Emperor didn't linger on them for long; he practically glanced at them before uttering them.
