From Yun Miao Sanren's purchases of various ores over the past period, it was apparent that the discovered mineral vein was a fifth-tier high-grade one of middling quality, with the occasional associated top-grade ore.
Besides all kinds of ores, Yun Miao Sanren had also sold a batch of Sea Fang Beast scales, bones, and hides—all fine fifth-tier materials. It was clear that they had slain a very powerful beast clan.
Que Yue Sanren examined the metal ingots, his heart crawling with a hundred claws. This was an envy-inducing haul; his years of savings did not compare to a single hunting trip of theirs.
Something else worried him as well. Whenever Fellow Daoist Yun Miao had encountered a hard bone to chew in the past, she would return to Sea Star City to seek assistance. Yet now, the two of them had formed a hunting party capable of taking down a clan with a fifth-tier top-grade Beast King.
If they maintained such cooperation, he and Xuan Shuang Sanren would lose a source of income.
Yet as an artifact refiner, he could not go out hunting often. He could only watch helplessly as others ate meat.
He patted his chest and consoled himself inwardly. They were lucky this time. They can't possibly reap such gains every time. Otherwise, everyone would be off hunting demonic beasts.
Que Yue Sanren gathered up the metals he needed and pushed the rest back. "Once this humble Daoist has upgraded Fellow Daoist's Plain Cloud World Banner, I will formulate the next upgrade plan and list the required materials then."
He no longer had the funds to purchase spirit materials and could only watch as the business slipped away.
Ji An nodded slightly and put away the metal ingots. He then took out another batch of beast bones
