In the end, the Artifact Spirit did not ask about the Primal Fire Embryo. It felt that... the thing was truly rare and absurdly expensive, while compared to a Dual Fire Embryo, it offered only limited improvement to the Yin-Yang Mirror. It really was rather wasteful.
Later, when it learned that Feng Jun actually possessed a Primal Fire Embryo, there was no need to mention how bitterly it regretted it.
In fact, when repairing the Yin-Yang Mirror, it had indeed spared no expense. It asked Feng Jun to lend it one hundred Upper Spirit Stones in addition to the materials, planning to repair the Yin-Yang Mirror within two days.
Feng Jun rejected it outright. "Are you joking? What kind of person uses Upper Spirit Stones to repair an Emergence from Dust artifact? Mid-Grade Spirit Stones would be out of the question too. I'll give you five hundred thousand Ordinary Spirit Stones. Use those yourself."
"Back on Blue Star, you said Mid-Grade Spirit Stones would be more than enough. Now you're getting greedy again?"
The Artifact Spirit refused to accept that. It said this was not merely about repairing an Emergence from Dust artifact; it also had to consider improving the artifact's quality. At the same time, as its Artifact Spirit, it needed to become more compatible with the artifact. The Spirit Stones it used had to be at least high-grade.
In its view, one hundred Upper Spirit Stones really was not much, and Feng Jun's treasury contained at least several thousand Upper Spirit Stones.
But Feng Jun felt it was being far too precious. Even if it had once been a mighty expert, it was currently penniless and still putting on airs. "What makes you think earning Spirit Stones is so easy? I'm not indulging that habit of yours."
