"Was the Immortal Ancient Zhao Family really that generous?"
Lu Ren was astonished.
A top-grade Dao Artifact was worth at least ten billion, and only someone in the Shattered Realm could forge one.
Moreover, the higher a cultivator's cultivation, the more terrifying the effort, resources, and time required to forge an artifact suited to them.

Lu Ren said evenly.
"But winning
