"Fellow Daoists, and this senior here!"
"The usual rules!"
"Within these ten years, I will only accept five Immortal Artifact forging commissions and five Immortal Artifact quality upgrades!"
"Regardless of your cultivation or how powerful your Immortal Artifact is, anyone who can offer Sword Dao Origin or Sword Intent Origin as payment gets priority!"
Over the three hundred years since Qiao Xiaoqiao's Immortal Artifact Shop opened, a rule had gradually taken shape.
The shop would only open once every ten years.
Each time it opened, its owner only accepted five Immortal Artifact forging jobs and five Immortal Artifact quality upgrades.
Customers could return to collect their items when the shop next opened ten years later.
Of course, as a top-tier Artifact Refiner whose fame filled the Imperial Capital and even the entire Nine Woods Immortal Domain, Qiao Xiaoqiao was bound to provoke dissatisfaction by doing this.
But dissatisfied though they were, everyone could understand.
After all, they were all Immortals who needed to cultivate. No one could possibly spend huge amounts of time refining artifacts, could they?
As for He Pingsheng, his artifact-refining skills were still at the sixth grade.
He could forge a sixth-grade Immortal Artifact in about a month or two, but the quality left rather a lot to be desired.
With good luck, he could produce a middle-grade one.
Under normal circumstances, he could produce a low-grade one.
With bad luck, he could only end up ruining it.
Fortunately, with the Treasure-Gathering Basin to fall back on, He Pingsheng did not particularly concern himself with his artifact-refining skills.
Thus, he could finish forging five Immortal Artifacts within a year, or even a little over half a year.
As for upgrading Immortal Artifacts, he basically did not need to refine them at all. He could simply toss them
