The day after reaching an agreement with Ye Feng, Li Qing came to the stall and took away his artifact-refining materials and the agreed-upon spirit stones.
During this, Ye Feng said somewhat nervously, "Fellow Daoist Li, I've entrusted all these materials to you. I trust you very much!"
These words carried two meanings. First, he worried that Li Qing's artifact-refining skills might be lacking, causing all the materials to be ruined. Second, he did not entirely trust Li Qing and feared that he might run off with the materials.
But Li Qing was naturally not so shortsighted. He still had to remain in Tianhe Marketplace for quite a long time. If he ruined his reputation, how would he continue making a living as an Artifact Refiner?
For an Artifact Refiner, aside from refining skill, reputation and public approval were equally important.
Once one's name stank, no one would be willing to ask for help refining artifacts, no matter how high one's skill was.
Besides, although Ye Feng's materials were quite valuable, Li Qing might not even think much of them.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, rest assured. I, Li, am not such a shortsighted person!"
"Just wait for my good news. In one month, I will certainly place the magic tools in your hands!"
With that, Li Qing clasped his fists and departed, returning to the inn where he stayed.
As for where to refine the artifacts, Li Qing had long ago considered the matter.
This time, he not only needed to help Ye Feng refine Low-grade Magic Tools, but also refine some magic tools of his own to sell.
Taking a month truly was not very long.
But if he stayed in Tianhe Marketplace, the rent alone was three spirit stones a day. The cost in time was indeed not low.
