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

Seeing how much Chen Yue valued the crystal, Tianji also offered an appropriate evaluation.

“My dear disciple, you can’t judge things by appearances alone.”

"That blue crystal looks magnificent, but it would take some effort to forge even a low-level heavenly weapon from it. I advise you to give up on it as soon as possible."

After speaking, he immediately turned his gaze back to the gray spirit iron and examined it closely.

After looking at thousands of items, this was the first time the Heavenly Emperor had shown such a serious expression.

The words spoken by the Heavenly Emperor reached Chen Yue's ears, leaving him speechless. In the Heavenly Emperor's words, low-level heavenly soldiers were all trash.

"hiss......"

The Heavenly Emperor's shout made Chen Yue's heart pound so hard it felt like it would jump out of his throat.

Tianji stared intently, but finally sighed with disappointment.

"What a pity, what a pity."

"If this piece of spirit iron were intact, it would be more than enough to forge a top-tier heavenly weapon."

"Unfortunately, there are too many cracks on it, so it has completely lost its plasticity and it will probably shatter into pieces if touched."

"In its current state, it might be possible to forge a Heavenly Weapon, but its power would certainly be inferior to that of a top-tier Earthly Weapon, so I do not recommend it."

The Heavenly Emperor was extremely disappointed; he had finally found a piece of material that was even remotely acceptable.

Unfortunately, it was a defective product.

Chen Yue's mood fluctuated wildly. He thought he had finally found good materials, but they were still unsatisfactory.

Director Shan was extremely confident in these two refining materials, based on his years of experience.

These two pieces of refining materials are more than enough to forge two earth-level weapons.

A single earth-based weapon, placed in the outside world, not to mention Jiangcheng, even in places like the Xuanyun Holy Land and Yunxuan Sect, would be a formidable asset.

It will definitely be looted, and it's inevitable that it will alarm the higher-ups.

After all, heavenly soldiers only exist in legends and are unlikely to appear in the world.

Most people will only ever encounter the most advanced weapons in their lifetime, and those are ground weapons.

Therefore, from the perspective of the branch manager, Chen Yue had no reason not to want these two treasures.

After hesitating for a long time, they must be considering which one to give up.

Thinking of all this, Director Shan couldn't help but feel a little moved.

When Chen Yue saw the two treasures, he didn't even consider taking them both; he even planned to leave one for him.

The bank manager thought to himself, "Mr. Chen is a man of great loyalty and integrity. I knew I hadn't misjudged him!"

Chen Yue pushed the crystal and spirit iron toward the line manager standing opposite him.

With a hint of embarrassment on his face, he said, "Manager Shan, you can take these two refining materials back."

"Thank you for your help this time."

The branch manager was puzzled. He thought they were precious treasures, so why did Chen Yue not want any of them?

After a brief moment of thought, he came up with the most likely answer.

That's because Chen Yue couldn't bear to take away what someone else loved, so he left it all for him.

Since the decision has already been made to give it up, there's no reason to take it back.

With a determined effort, Shan Xingzhang relinquished his beloved.

"Mr. Chen, you pick one, I won't take the source stones, I'll give it to you for free!"

Chen Yue hurriedly waved his hand, refusing repeatedly.

"Don't be so polite, take it to Mr. Chen, it's my decision!"

Seeing that Director Shan was about to do something serious, Chen Yue quickly ran to the door of the VIP room.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Shan. See you next time!"

After saying this, Chen Yue walked out of the VIP room and closed the door behind him.

He muttered to himself, "What's wrong with Director Shan today? I was already planning to give it to him, but he's offering it to me for free."

Inside the VIP room, Director Shan looked down at the treasures he had collected on the table and silently put them back into his storage bag.

"Mr. Chen must have realized how much I value these two materials, so even if I gave them to him for free, he wouldn't accept them."

"To have such magnanimity at such a young age, Mr. Chen has a bright future ahead of him!"

The branch manager was lost in his own thoughts, unaware that Chen Yue hadn't even given him a second glance.

Chen Yue was in low spirits after leaving Jiangcheng Auction House.

I thought that I would definitely be able to find materials that Teacher Tianji would be satisfied with there.

Unfortunately, all he talked about was garbage.

Since we couldn't find it at the auction house, we had no choice but to search for it in the Jiangcheng Market like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Finding a good piece of material is really not easy.

Arriving at Jiangcheng Market, located in the heart of Jiangcheng.

Jiangcheng Market encompasses more than a dozen alleys and countless stalls, its prosperity is self-evident.

Chen Yue headed straight for the refining materials, turning his head to look at the Heavenly Emperor standing beside him.

"Teacher Tianji, if you find any good materials, please tell me immediately."

"Don't worry, my disciple, my judgment is never wrong."

Tianji glanced at the stalls on both sides; the refining materials displayed there were undoubtedly the worst of the worst.

Most of the weapons sold at Jiangcheng Auction House can be crafted into Xuan weapons, and some can even be crafted into Di weapons.

Finally, the two treasured artifacts that Director Shan took out could at least be crafted into low-level celestial soldiers.

As for the junk among the junk on the market, they are not even worthy of being used as weapons; they are only fit to be turned into a pile of broken copper and scrap iron that can be taken by whoever wants it.

Upon seeing these materials, the Heavenly Emperor felt no different than seeing a pile of filth.

“My beloved disciple, it is really too difficult for me to find a piece of material in this pile of garbage that can be used to forge a heavenly weapon or an imperial weapon.”

In order to obtain the peerless divine weapon, Chen Yue immediately cheered on the Heavenly Emperor.

"Teacher Tianji, you have reached the pinnacle of weapon crafting, and you can tell the quality of materials at a glance."

"Besides you, a top-tier weapon refiner, who else in the world could do this?"

"Let alone Tianyuan Continent and Yuanyang Continent, your weapon-refining skills would be absolutely top-notch anywhere, Teacher!"

Tianji's laughter echoed in Chen Yue's ears after being praised like that.

Others might not buy into this, but Tianji does. Even the Great Emperor Qingxuan wouldn't laugh heartily at a few words of praise.

"My dear disciple, you have a good eye! Watch how your master finds treasure in a pile of trash!"

No sooner had they finished speaking than the two of them found themselves in this alley, amidst thousands of stalls and nearly hundreds of thousands of refining materials.

They were searching for that piece of material that had the potential to become a heavenly weapon or an imperial weapon.

Even the Great Emperor Qingxuan couldn't resist joining in the fun when he saw the two full of energy.

I looked at it from beginning to end and couldn't find a single piece of material that could compare to the gray spirit iron in the auction house.

After a period of busy work yielding no results, Chen Yue couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed despite his high expectations.

Finding a material that would satisfy the Heavenly Emperor might be asking too much of this small Jiangcheng.

After all, it's just a small place, and you can hardly find any Xuanbing weapons there.

The crystals and spirit iron in Director Shan's possession are probably the best refining materials in the entire Jiangcheng.

The Heavenly Emperor had been standing in front of a stall for a long time, his gaze fixed on the stall owner's seat.

It was a huge piece of black spirit iron. Unlike the fragments of the Heavenly Meteor Blazing Hammer, this black spirit iron did not have any broken inscriptions on its surface.

Tianji's eyesight is incredibly sharp; he could tell at a glance that this wasn't pure black, but rather that beneath the surface black, there was a faint red glow.

Something's fishy...
