♂,
Chen Teng weighed the bundle in his hands, then said with a bitter smile, "I say, Immortal Han, what exactly are you planning? At least tell me something. Otherwise, I really won't know how to explain this when I go back. God Kong said that although he doesn't mind Official Xia's spending, as long as we aren't buying useless junk, there's no need to ask about it. But looking at what you've bought, it all seems rather useless..."
"How could it be useless? This steam furnace is used to shape Dao Artifacts. Since it's an ancient item, even the Directorate of Artifact Management may not have more than a few people who can recognize it. The fact that we managed to find one proves I have a good eye, doesn't it? I asked you to buy it, so why are you still nagging?" Han Shanshan looked somewhat impatient. Whenever she saw something good, her first thought was that someone else might snatch it away.
"This... Even so, these raw materials must cost a fortune. Never mind whether we can refine anything with them—the question is whether they'll even be useful!" Chen Teng said awkwardly.
"What? You're actually questioning my professionalism? Xia Yitian, explain it to him. I can't let him hold us up here. I'm going to build this artifact factory no matter what! I've thought it over several times. We're all penniless now, so shouldn't we make a living off our skills? This is skilled work, not something a little constable chief like him could understand!" Han Shanshan stamped her foot as she spoke.
I looked at Chen Teng awkwardly. His eyes had gone wide. A "high official" of the fifth rank had actually been called a little constable chief by an Immortal with a ninth-rank Dao Body.
