Wang Mingzhan suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, you didn't tell Changxue and the others that you were studying Artifact Refining under Seventh Uncle, did you?"
"No. They only think I got lucky, though Third Brother seems to have guessed something."
Wang Changsheng answered truthfully. Knowing how important this was, he did not dare conceal even the slightest detail.
"It doesn't matter if he guessed. I'll tell him not to run his mouth. Don't casually tell others that you can refine Spirit Tools, especially outsiders. Understand?"
Wang Mingzhan warned him with a grave expression.
Wang Changsheng nodded in agreement. After Wang Mingzhan's analysis, he too understood the drawbacks of this matter and naturally would not speak carelessly.
Wang Mingzhan's expression eased, and a smile appeared on his face. "All right, go back to your room and refine. Once you've used up forty batches of materials, don't refine any more."
Wang Changsheng agreed and headed for his room.
Wang Changsheng spent four days using up forty batches of materials and refined twenty-eight Azure Cloud Shields, all of which he handed over to Wang Mingzhan.
At forty-eight Spirit Stones apiece, Wang Mingzhan paid Wang Changsheng 1,344 Spirit Stones and reminded him not to squander them.
The Azure Cloud Shields in Wang Changxing's hands were no longer easy to sell either. He sold only one in four days, which was perfectly normal; quite a few had already been sold before. He kept four, one for each of them, and handed the rest to Wang Mingzhan, who bought them at forty-eight Spirit Stones each.
Wang Mingzhan made up a reason, saying that Wang Changsheng had a talent for Artifact Refining and that the Lineage would properly nurture him. He told Wang Changxing and the other two not to spread the word everywhere,
