Liu Family Artifact Refining Workshop

He felt he had control of the other party!

Only then did Lu Wanyuan flip the other party over and retract the thorns.

The giant turtle before him, its shell was as large as two tabletops.

He hadn't expected such a giant turtle to appear in this pond. After controlling its soul, he learned the turtle's origins.

It turned out that an ancestor of the Chu Family had released a small turtle into this pond when he was young.

Who knew that this turtle, by chance, entered the Spirit Spring. The Spirit Spring Cave contained abundant spiritual spring water.

It had lived in this spiritual spring for several hundred years, only developing intelligence in the last few decades, thus becoming a Spirit Beast.

A few months ago, Lu Wanyuan had just opened up the Spirit Spring's mouth, allowing this fellow to sneak into the pond and steal Spirit Fish from time to time!

Baili Qiuyue looked at everything before her with surprise. From Lu Wanyuan blocking the Spirit Spring's mouth to subduing this giant turtle, although it seemed like a long process, it was actually completed in an instant.

Facing the giant turtle's frenzied attacks, Lu Wanyuan blocked them.

No wonder the Spirit Fish in the pond were getting fewer and fewer; it was this guy's doing.

However, she had never seen such a large turtle before.

She just saw her husband fighting it continuously. Fortunately, her husband subdued this fellow, and the Spirit Fish should be safe from now on.

But she hadn't expected her husband's strength to be so great. He wasn't afraid of such a large Demonic Beast at all; instead, he defended, attacked, and subdued it with reason and order.

It was completely under her husband's control.

"Alright, you are not allowed to eat the Spirit Fish in the pond anymore. I worked hard to get these Spirit Fish. If you eat them all, we won't be able to find such Spirit Fish anymore!" Lu Wanyuan said loudly to the giant turtle before him.

The turtle seemed to have no reaction, only revealing its small, dark eyes, looking very wronged. The appearance of its eyes was truly comical compared to its massive body.

"Green Bean Turtle" was truly an apt description!

"Alright, these Spirit Fish are for us to breed. Once the numbers increase, you can eat them. If you eat any more now, there will be none left to eat in the future!" Lu Wanyuan said, pointing at the giant turtle's eyes as he warned it. After thinking for a moment, he issued a warning.

"If you dare to eat these Spirit Fish again, I'll eat you directly. I'll get a big pot and stew you. A centuries-old turtle like you must be nutritious!"

Perhaps seeing Lu Wanyuan's threat, the giant turtle showed obvious fear, taking a few steps back.

Seeing its fear, Lu Wanyuan immediately comforted it, "If you protect these Spirit Fish well here, I will definitely give you better Spirit Fish to eat in the future. You should endure it for now!"

Upon hearing this, the giant turtle's gaze finally calmed down.

"Alright, you can go."

After speaking, Lu Wanyuan no longer cared about the turtle's life or death. The Thorn Spell he had just cast was quite powerful, actually piercing the opponent's skin and drawing a lot of blood, which increased the pressure on the turtle and made it gradually give up resisting.

Although the giant turtle was huge and, in theory, its defense should be extremely strong, it was still pierced by the Thorn Spell.

The main reason was that the Thorn Spell was an all-around attack. Although the turtle had a large shell on its back with formidable defense that couldn't be broken, its belly was pierced by the thorns of the Azure Vine. This was truly unexpected.

Currently, his Thorn Spell was only at the beginner stage. If he could cultivate it to the Great Accomplishment stage, the attack speed, attack range, and the number of Azure Vines would be even greater.

It seemed he hadn't fully unleashed the power of the Thorn Spell yet!

Thinking of this, he looked forward to the Thorn Spell and felt it was necessary to cultivate it well in the future!

"Mmm, wife, I've made you worry!"

Lu Wanyuan walked to Baili Qiuyue's side and helped her sit down.

When he was fighting the giant turtle, Baili Qiuyue, standing on the shore, had looked very worried.

"You knew the reason for the Spirit Fish disappearing earlier?"

"Yes, I discovered this fellow not long ago, but my strength wasn't enough to subdue it at the time. I had to immediately go into seclusion to cultivate, and only then did I break through to the Qi Refining fourth layer and increase my strength. If I hadn't been at the Qi Refining fourth layer today, I'm afraid my defenses would have been broken by this fellow. The consequences would have been unimaginable!" Lu Wanyuan said with lingering fear.

"Mmm, it must have been hard on you, husband. I even complained that you left me alone?" Baili Qiuyue said awkwardly.

"Mmm, that was my fault. My strength wasn't strong enough to give you enough security. I'm sorry!" Lu Wanyuan embraced her and apologized awkwardly.

"It's okay, it's okay!"

At Chunfeng Road No. 300, there was a stone-built wall. Beside the courtyard stood a tall pole with a flag hanging from it. The flag was embroidered with the words 'Liu Family Artifact Refining Workshop'.

From afar, the sound of clanging could be heard from inside.

"Eldest Brother, this is the workshop. There are 'For Sale' notices posted in front of it, so it seems they are very willing to sell!" Lu Wanshan said excitedly to Lu Wanyuan.

After entering the Heavenly Craft Workshop, he had gained the recognition of the workshop master due to his hard work, diligence, and meticulousness, without engaging in any other petty actions.

Having the opportunity to engage in practical artifact refining operations allowed him to refine various magical artifacts, leading to a rapid improvement in his artifact refining skills.

Moreover, his purpose for going there was very clear: to learn the techniques and gain more opportunities for practical artifact refining operations.

Coupled with his own genuine first-stage artifact refining legacy, in just one year, he learned all the experience that the Heavenly Craft Workshop could impart. He could also refine most magical artifacts, which gave him the idea of starting his own business.

He came here today to take over this workshop!

Lu Wanyuan looked at Lu Wanshan, who was beaming with excitement. His dark and sturdy body, calloused rough hands, and beard and eyebrows singed to a near-scorched yellow color, all indicated that he was a cultivator involved in artifact refining. The diligence he showed over the past year made Lu Wanyuan feel ashamed.

He hadn't expected that in just one year, his brother had truly understood the first-tier artifact refining legacy and had also learned a lot from the place where he worked.

When they had planned with their brothers and sisters, the idea was for them to develop in their respective fields. He hadn't expected Wanshan to be the first one to have such an idea.

"Hmm, we'll know once we go in and take a look!"

Lu Wanyuan said with a smile.

Then he walked towards the workshop, with Lu Wanshan closely following.

What greeted their eyes was a long building made of stacked stones, with three rooms. Near the base of the walls, canopies were built on supports to shield from wind and rain.

The tools for refining magical artifacts were all under these canopies: the furnace, bellows, anvil, and tongs that shone from friction. However, the furnace fire near the wall had long been extinguished, and even the bellows were covered in dust. It was clear from this that the workshop hadn't been in operation for a long time.

The refining equipment at the other end was scattered on the ground, and there were only a few items left on the shelves.

"Is the shopkeeper here?"

Since there was no one in the courtyard outside, Lu Wanyuan shouted loudly into the building, but there was no response.

So he raised his voice again, "Shopkeeper Liu, are you there?"

"Who is it, making such a racket!"

An impatient voice came from inside the building.
