"Master Sun, I'm certain. You know how skilled I am at inscribing. If I'm only refining an ordinary ranked magical artifact, there's little chance of failure," Wang Yu replied without hesitation.
"Heh, that's true. Your Artifact Refining skills already surpass mine. How could an ordinary ranked magical artifact stump you? Wait a moment. I'll apply to the hall's executive elder for your test right away." Master Sun nodded with an amused chuckle, then took a Communication Talisman from his robes. After murmuring a few words, he tossed it out, and it turned into a white streak that flew out of the Artifact Refining Room.
"Thank you, Master Sun!" Naturally, Wang Yu was delighted and thanked him.
Although he could apply directly to the Artifact Refining Hall himself, he would probably have to wait several days for other Certified Artifact Refiners to serve as witnesses. How could that compare with the speed of a direct recommendation from a Certified Artifact Refiner?
"All right, rest here and gather your strength. Unless something unexpected happens, two more artifact refiners will arrive shortly to join me in witnessing you refine a ranked magical artifact," Master Sun said with a smile.
Wang Yu nodded his agreement, then sat cross-legged in a corner, closed his eyes, and rested his mind.
Only an hour later, footsteps sounded outside the Artifact Refining Room, and a man and a woman walked in.
The former was a burly man in a coarse-cloth short jacket, with short hair, a short beard, and bright, piercing eyes. The latter was a woman in black robes, her complexion sallow, her figure gaunt, and her expression impassive.
"Guo, Xiao, it's you two?" Master Sun froze briefly at the sight of them, then went forward to greet them in surprise.
"What, Old Sun? Aren't we welcome?
