"This is only the deposit. Once you successfully refine this item, I am willing to pay another twenty mid-grade spirit crystals."
Wei Tu said decisively.
Upon hearing this, a trace of temptation appeared on Madam Hai's calm face.
An ordinary sixth-grade high-grade spirit treasure sold for only a little over a hundred mid-grade spirit crystals. The commission that fell into an artifact refiner's hands was even less, at most one-third of that.
Wei Tu's previous offer had already been generous, and with this added price, the reward for this job was enough to rival the earnings from refining two sixth-grade high-grade spirit treasures.
Of course, unlike a pure commission, refining this puppet component would also require her to provide the spirit materials needed to make it.
After deducting the cost of those expensive materials, her reward would shrink considerably. Even so, her profit would still be substantial. Moreover, refining this puppet component was far less painstaking and time-consuming than refining a sixth-grade high-grade spirit treasure... The only sore point was that finding the materials would not be easy.
"I accept this deal," Madam Hai said through gritted teeth.
"At most ten years. I will find suitable spirit materials and begin refining it," Madam Hai promised.
"Ten years?" Wei Tu raised his brows slightly. The time was somewhat long, but still within the range he could accept.
After pondering briefly, he nodded.
After all, in this remote land of foreign races, it was already no easy feat to find a sixth-grade high-grade artifact refiner willing to refine a "core puppet component" for him. He could not afford to be picky... especially when this woman appeared so confident.
"I will be staying in this immortal city for some time. Once you have found suitable spirit materials and set the date to begin
