The Astonished Heavenly Fire Holy Land! (4K)

The Heavenly Fire Holy Land is the most famous Artifact Refining Holy Land in the Immortal Realm Holy Land for Artifact Refining geniuses, and a gathering place for grandmasters. Holy Lands and Sects of all sizes have more or less to ask for favors from the Heavenly Fire Holy Land.

A black-haired man appeared silently at the mountain gate. The disciples of the Heavenly Fire Holy Land guarding the gate were taken aback; they hadn't noticed him at all. They quickly surrounded him, asking, "Who are you?"

"Lu Changsheng of the Taihua Sacred Ground wishes to request your assistance in crafting a piece of jewelry."

After much deliberation, Lu Changsheng decided to ask the Heavenly Fire Holy Land to craft an ornament as a congratulatory gift for Xia Ningxue's taking over the Moon Palace.

After all, this was a major event for his wife, and Lu Changsheng couldn't be stingy in front of other Holy Lands.

We should at least give Taihua Sacred Ground and Moon Palace some face.

Besides, Xia Ningxue's is also Lu Changsheng's.

Therefore, Lu Changsheng traveled a long distance to visit him.

"You... you are the Taihua Saint?"

"Really? Why did you come alone?"

The disciples of the Heavenly Fire Holy Land were shocked but also skeptical.

When Saint and Saintess travel, they are usually accompanied by a large number of disciples from the Holy Land. It is rare to see a lone traveler like Lu Changsheng.

"You should go and inform your elders."

Lu Changsheng had already gotten used to the way people looked at him.

"Please wait a moment, Saint."

The disciples of the Heavenly Fire Holy Land immediately went to inform the higher-ups of the Heavenly Fire Holy Land.

The higher-ups of the Heavenly Fire Holy Land were quite surprised to hear that Lu Changsheng had come to ask them to refine ornaments.

If Lu Changsheng had asked them to refine a Law Treasure, they wouldn't have found it strange. After all, even some old monsters in the Immortality Realm sometimes needed their help.

However, what Lu Changsheng asked them to refine were ornaments.

Ornaments are different from Law Treasure; their main purpose is decoration, and they are a thousand times simpler to craft than magical Law Treasure.

Lu Changsheng could easily hire any Elder from the Taihua Sacred Ground who was skilled in Artifact Refining; why bother coming all the way to their Heavenly Fire Holy Land?

"I wonder what kind of ornament the Taihua Saint wants us to craft?"

"I heard that a new Palace Master is about to ascend the throne in the Moon Palace. Could it be that he's asking us to craft these ornaments as a congratulatory gift?"

"It's not impossible. But we, as Artifact Refining Grandmaster, are supposed to be prominent figures in the Artifact Refining world. How could we possibly craft a mere ornament? Who would want to take on the business of the Taihua Saint of Taihua?"

The Sect Master of the Heavenly Fire Holy Land glanced at the Artifact Refining Grandmaster present, waiting to see who would be willing to take on Lu Changsheng's job.

Among the group of Artifact Refining Grandmaster, some looked up at the roof beams, some looked down at their toes, and some had shifty eyes; none of them uttered a sound.

How much can you earn by crafting a piece of jewelry?

Besides, having these legendary weapon -Artifact Refining Grandmaster from the Immortal Realm polish a mere ornament would be a waste of their talents, and they would be laughed at if word got out.

"Sect Master, I think sending a Fourth-Grade Artifact Refining to handle him will suffice. It's just an ornament, isn't it? Even the most exquisite ornament can be easily handled by Fourth-Grade Artifact Refining."

"That's right. Do we really need to go to the Artifact Refining Grandmaster of crafting a piece of jewelry, even if it's a Third-Grade or Second-Grade Artifact Refining Grandmaster?"

"In my opinion, even Fourth-Grade Artifact Refining Grandmaster is overkill."

"Yeah yeah."

The Artifact Refining Grandmaster all chimed in.

In the world of Artifact Refining crafters can be divided into Ninth-Grade.

Newly initiated disciples are ranked Ninth-Grade.

After a period of time, one reaches the Eighth-Grade.

Senior disciples are ranked between the Fifth-Grade and Seventh-Grade.

Fourth-Grade Artifact Refining is already capable of refining Emperor Weapon- level Law Treasure, which is considered to be at the level of an ordinary Elder.

Third-Grade and Second-Grade Artifact Refining Grandmaster Artifact Refining Grandmaster even forge Law Treasure of the Dao Artifact level.

They estimated that Lu Changsheng could be crafted into ornaments by Fourth-Grade Artifact Refining, so there was no need for them to help.

"After all, the other party is the Taihua Saint, currently recognized as the number one genius in the Immortal Realm. Our Heavenly Fire Holy Land must give him face. Elder Wu, why don't you let your Chief Grand Disciple make a move? I heard he has already taken a half-step into the ranks of Third-Grade -Artifact Refining Grandmasters. Presumably, if he makes a move, the Taihua Saint will be satisfied with the ornaments he refines."

After careful consideration, the Sect Master the Heavenly Fire Holy Land decided that it would be a bit excessive to send only an ordinary Fourth-Grade Artifact Refining to appease the Taihua Saint. Therefore, he decided to send a half-step Third-Grade Artifact Refining Grandmaster.

Lu Changsheng waited in the side hall for a while, and then a man with ponytail arrived, bowing with his hands clasped. "I am Yang Qianli, greetings to the Taihua Saint."

Lu Changsheng sized up the other person, who was probably at the Immortal Emperor Realm: "What grade of Artifact Refining are you?"

"Reporting to the Saint, I am Fourth-Grade Artifact Refining, half-step into the Third-Grade."

Yang Qianli was quite pleased with himself.

At his age, he was already a half-step Third-Grade Artifact Refining Grandmaster, Peerless Genius in the Artifact Refining world.

This is why the Sect Master the Heavenly Fire Holy Land sent him to deal with Lu Changsheng.

The Sect Master might not even remember the names of ordinary disciples of the Heavenly Fire Holy Land.

Lu Changsheng frowned. He had come to the Heavenly Fire Holy Land specifically to invite a half-step Third-Grade -Artifact Refining Grandmaster.

It wasn't that he looked down on half-step Third-Grade -Artifact Refining Grandmaster.

If Lu Changsheng wanted to hire Artifact Refining Grandmaster of this caliber, why would he need to make a special trip to the Heavenly Fire Holy Land?

Lin Qinghan and Dugu Aotian's Artifact Refining skills are completely comparable to Yang Qianli's.

Lu Changsheng came to the Heavenly Fire Holy Land for two reasons: first, to create a top-quality ornament for Xia Ningxue; and second, to test the strength of the Heavenly Fire Holy Land so that he could ask them to refine a top-quality Law Treasure in the future.

The Heavenly Fire Holy Land didn't send any Second-Grade or Third-Grade Artifact Refining Grandmaster- Artifact Refining Grandmaster, only a half-step Third-Grade Artifact Refining Grandmaster. Wasn't that looking down on them?

Lu Changsheng waved his hand. "Go back and have your master come over. He should be at least Second-Grade Artifact Refining Grandmaster."

"Second, Second-Grade..."

Yang Qianli was dumbfounded.

Lu Changsheng only wanted to have an ornament crafted; was it really necessary to hire Second-Grade Artifact Refining Grandmaster?

Second-Grade Artifact Refining Grandmaster are extremely rare in the entire Artifact Refining world; hiring them is incredibly expensive.

"Hiring Second-Grade Artifact Refining Grandmaster —the reward for that is quite substantial..."

"Money is no problem; even First-Grade Artifact Refining Grandmaster will do."

Lu Changsheng sipped his tea, patiently waiting for the Second-Grade Artifact Refining Grandmaster to emerge.

Yang Qianli was completely stunned.

First-Grade Artifact Refining Grandmaster?

There aren't many even in the Heavenly Fire Holy Land!

Moreover, most of the First-Grade Artifact Refining Grandmaster are renowned figures from High Antiquity times. Why would they be invited out of seclusion just to craft a single ornament?

Seeing that Lu Changsheng seemed determined not to leave until he saw Second-Grade Artifact Refining Grandmaster, Yang Qianli had no choice but to say, "Please wait a moment, Saint."

He returned to the main hall of the Heavenly Fire Holy Land and explained Lu Changsheng's request to the Sect Master and the Elders.

The Elders looked at each other in bewilderment.

"It's just making a piece of jewelry, why bother us? Is this kid just playing us for a fool?"

"This kid even specified that he needed Second-Grade or higher Artifact Refining Grandmaster to help him; he's making a mountain out of a molehill."

What exactly is this child going to do?

"If he's deliberately playing tricks on us, we might as well play tricks on him back, raise the price, and make him back down."

The Elders chattered amongst themselves, Sect Master of the Heavenly Fire Holy Land frowned even more deeply. "You must decide quickly."

"Sect Master, since he has specified Second-Grade Artifact Refining Grandmaster, I have no choice but to take action myself."

Elder Wu rolled up his sleeves; he had to take matters into his own hands.

Yang Qianli breathed a sigh of relief.

His master, Elder Wu, was Second-Grade Artifact Refining Grandmaster from the Heavenly Fire Holy Land, and countless Holy Lands held him in high esteem.

Elder Wu personally intervened this time; should Lu Changsheng be satisfied now?

A moment later, an old man with Dao Bone, a full Heavenly Court, and vigorous spirit appeared in the side hall, with a ball of golden flame in his palm.

"Twentieth-Grade Spirit Fire - Heavenly Qian Separation Flame?"

Lu Changsheng recognized the origin of the Spirit Fire in the old man's palm.

Twentieth-Grade Spirit Fire is no ordinary Spirit Fire.

The upper limit of Artifact Refining Grandmaster often depends on the Spirit Fire they control.

This Elder of the Heavenly Fire Holy Land wields the Heavenly Qian Separation Flame, so his skill in Artifact Refining must be extraordinary; he should be Second-Grade Artifact Refining Grandmaster.

He deliberately displayed the Heavenly Qian Separation Flame, probably to give Lu Changsheng a warning.

After all, in the eyes of the Heavenly Fire Holy Land, Lu Changsheng's request for Second-Grade Artifact Refining Grandmaster to refine an ornament for him was a provocation.

"You do know about the Heavenly Qian Separation Flame, that shows some knowledge. I am Wu Ting'en, Elder of the Heavenly Fire Holy Land and Second-Grade Artifact Refining Grandmaster. I wonder what kind of ornament you wish to have made, that you would require my assistance?"

Elder Wu's tone was somewhat dissatisfied.

It would be embarrassing for Second-Grade Artifact Refining Grandmaster like him to help Lu Changsheng craft an ornament.

This is equivalent to asking a five-star hotel chef to make a plate of fried rice.

I want to have a jade hairpin made.

"You little brat..."

Elder Wu was so angry he almost laughed.

Why the hell would you need a Second-Grade Artifact Refining Grandmaster to make a jade hairpin?

Wu Ting'en disdained to use ordinary Dao Artifacts.

Moreover, jade hairpins are merely decorative.

"Although what you requested to be forged is nothing special, since I am Second-Grade Artifact Refining Grandmaster, the reward I demand will not be small, and may even be tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of times that of this jade hairpin."

Wu Ting'en snorted. Since Lu Changsheng wanted him to forge a jade hairpin, he would charge him as if he were forging a Dao Artifact. Was that too much to ask?

Lu Changsheng hesitated, "Excuse my frankness, but at most I can offer a treasure equivalent to the price of this jade hairpin as payment."

Wu Ting'en's eyes widened.

The esteemed Taihua Saint, and his family fortune is so meager?

How much is a jade hairpin worth?

Lu Changsheng is only willing to pay such a small price; is he deliberately toying with him?

"This is the material used to make jade hairpins."

Seeing Elder Wu's strange expression, Lu Changsheng knew that Elder Wu must have misunderstood, so he calmly took out a piece of jade.

As soon as this piece of jade appeared, a chilling aura filled the entire side hall, and the beams and eaves were quickly covered with ice.

When Elder Wu saw the jade in Lu Changsheng's hand, his eyes widened even more, utterly incredulous. "This is Twenty-First-Grade Artifact Refining material— Taiyin Cold Jade! It's one of the most yin and cold Artifact Refining materials in the world! How could you possess such a treasure!"

It was just a lucky find.

This is, of course, a treasure rewarded by the system.

"Hiss..."

Elder Wu felt a chill run down his spine.

He finally understood why Lu Changsheng had insisted on meeting Second-Grade Artifact Refining Grandmaster when he came to the Heavenly Fire Holy Land.

His Disciple, Yang Qianli, a semi-step Third-Grade Artifact Refining Grandmaster, was completely helpless against the Taiyin Cold Jade!

If even the Taiyin Cold Jade cannot be polished, how can the jade hairpin that Lu Changsheng desires be made?

The Artifact Refining Grandmaster of the Heavenly Fire Holy Land originally thought that Lu Changsheng was deliberately making things difficult for them, but now it seems that they were judging a gentleman by their own petty standards.

"Are you sure this piece of Taiyin Cold Jade isn't going to be used to forge a Law Treasure, but only to be made into a jade hairpin?"

Elder Wu stared longingly at the exquisite jade in Lu Changsheng's hand.

Twenty-First-Grade Artifact Refining materials, used only to craft jade hairpins.

What a waste!

"Good."

Lu Changsheng knew that Xia Ningxue possessed the Ink Snow Sword, the Slaying Immortal Sword, and the Immortal-Slaying Sword, and was not lacking in Law Treasures at all. There was no need to give her another Law Treasure. On the contrary, giving her an ornament would better express Lu Changsheng's feelings.

"All right."

Elder Wu felt it was a pity, but that's how the client is.

Whatever the client says, goes.

What can a contractor like him say?

"In that case, I won't ask for any extra reward from you, just the scrap of this jade as a handling fee, what do you think? In addition, I will also imbue this jade hairpin with the effect of calming the mind, after all, it would be a waste to make it just an ornament."

This time, Elder Wu dared not underestimate Lu Changsheng at all.

Lu Changsheng's ability to produce Twenty-First-Grade Artifact Refining materials was enough to earn Elder Wu's respect.

As the saying goes, practice makes perfect; who knows what good stuff Lu Changsheng will bring out next time.

Even Second-Grade Twenty-First-Grade -Artifact Refining Grandmaster would rarely find 21-grade Artifact Refining materials.

"That's settled then."

Lu Changsheng heard that Elder Wu only wanted the scraps, so as not to have to worry about too much.

Three-fifths of this jade was used to make a jade hairpin, while the remaining two-fifths belonged to Elder Wu.

Elder Wu, however, made a fortune.

Although he only picked up scraps that Lu Changsheng didn't want, this was an extremely rare Taiyin Cold Jade!

"I hope to obtain the jade hairpin before the inauguration ceremony of the new Palace Master of the Moon Palace begins."

"Don't worry. Crafting Law Treasure won't be that quick, but if it's just an ornament, it's much simpler. Stay in our Heavenly Fire Holy Land for a while, and you'll get the jade hairpin soon."

Elder Wu became much more polite in his speech and happily went to carve the Taiyin Cold Jade.

"What? The Taihua Saint wants to use Taiyin Cold Jade to forge a jade hairpin?"

"That's Taiyin Cold Jade!"

"The Taihua Saint is truly wealthy and powerful. He uses such top-grade Artifact Refining materials just to forge a jade hairpin to please his beloved."

"Oh no, Old Wu got a huge windfall!"

The other Elders who were unable to take on the task were filled with remorse and regret.

Lu Changsheng was generous enough to use Taiyin Cold Jade to forge a hairpin; how could his reward be meager?

Putting aside everything else, even the scraps of Taiyin Cold Jade would be a considerable reward.

"This young man truly deserves his title as the first place winner of the Heavenly Court Assembly, a genius whose name resounds Three Realms; every move he makes is extraordinary."

The Sect Master the Heavenly Fire Holy Land was well-informed and not attracted by the Taiyin Cold Jade. Instead, he became interested in Lu Changsheng.

Given Lu Changsheng's qualifications, it was truly beyond his expectations that he could produce such a treasure as the Taiyin Cold Jade.
