Artifact Refining

Lei Dong was truly at a loss for words. He couldn't tell whether Wang Lei had gone crazy or he had. The auxiliary materials were worth far more than the main ingredient. Lei Dong knew he'd somehow stumbled into a huge bargain with those wings, but facing such costly supplementary materials still made his heart pound. More than forty million Contribution Value—even with the thirty-percent discount, that was nearly thirty million. If he had to raise that much Contribution Value by spending Spirit Stones, almost six hundred thousand Spirit Stones would simply vanish. Still, being in a top sect had its advantages. Gathering such a wide variety of extremely rare materials from auction houses and shops would take years, if it were even possible. But Yin Sha Sect was a top-tier sect with a long history, and its stockpile of materials was beyond what anyone could imagine. Take Star Brilliance Stone, for example. At the usual price of twenty thousand Spirit Stones per liang, getting a few liang was fairly easy. Wang Lei, however, considered this soft yet remarkably tough stone perfect for repairing the wings, so he'd asked for ten jin of it in one go. If this weren't a top sect, where could anyone find ten jin of Star Brilliance Stone? The sect even kept some extremely obscure materials on hand. That was one of the great advantages of being a disciple of a top-tier sect. Fortunately, Zhang Heng had agreed to take some of the materials off Lei Dong's hands in exchange for Spirit Stones. When Lei Dong asked around his squad, he found plenty of people short on Spirit Stones. A few had been planning to trade their surplus Contribution Value for Spirit Stones anyway, so they could help him cover the cost of those materials.
