An Experience an Artifact Refiner Could Never Forget

Wang Duanshan and the others walked out of the courtyard together and looked up at the sky. Sure enough, Lu Qing'an and his companions had returned.

Xue Tianfei, however, quickly fixed her gaze on Luo Danhong, with her red hair and gorgeous face.

"Wait! He was only gone for a little while, and he came back with a woman!"

The corner of Xue Tianfei's mouth twitched.

This man was so charming that he attracted bees and butterflies wherever he went!

Especially now that she saw Luo Danhong staring at Lu Qing'an with her beautiful eyes wide open. No matter how she looked at it, something was off.

Had he actually bewitched this woman already?!

And how come she had never seen this woman before? She had the presence of the Demon Domain and was at the Peak Great Emperor Realm. By rights, Xue Tianfei shouldn't have been unfamiliar with her!

When Lu Qing'an saw that Wang Duanshan had arrived, the corners of his mouth rose. In the blink of an eye, he and his companions flew down into the courtyard.

"Old Wang, you're here?" Lu Qing'an looked at Wang Duanshan and greeted him calmly.

"Haha! I thought they'd tricked me! You're finally back!" The trace of arrogance that had always lingered on Wang Duanshan's face gave way to a modest expression when he saw Lu Qing'an.

"I had them tell you why I asked you to come. How did it go?" Lu Qing'an asked.

Xiao Qingyi quickly said, "This old bastard just wouldn't believe us!"

"You have no idea how many times Old Xiao here has tricked me. After being fooled so often, I stopped believing him. You can't blame me for that," Wang Duanshan hurriedly said.

Lu Qing'an smiled.

Just then, Lu Miaomiao came over to Lu Qing'an and tugged on his sleeve with her little hand. "Daddy, who's this?"

"His name is Wang Duanshan. You can call him whatever you like," Lu Qing'an said.

They were old friends, after all.

"Oh, then he's Grandpa Wang!" Lu Miaomiao said with a smile. "Hello, Grandpa Wang!"

Wang Duanshan was dumbfounded.

Huh?!

This is your daughter?!

You disappeared for a thousand years and came back with such an adorable daughter?!

"Grandpa Wang," Lu Zixuan called out as well.

After getting over his shock, Wang Duanshan hurriedly smiled with grandfatherly warmth. "Haha, hello, you two little girls. Grandpa Wang didn't know about you, so I didn't bring any nice gifts... How about this? Pick out whatever weapons you like! Consider them welcome gifts from Grandpa Wang!"

He refined artifacts whenever he had time, and the weapons he took out now were all tenth-grade supreme-quality weapons.

Sun Minzi was practically drooling.

How generous!!

I want some too!

But she was too embarrassed to say it.

Lu Miaomiao and Lu Zixuan blinked, then looked at Lu Qing'an, seemingly seeking his opinion.

Lu Qing'an smiled calmly. "Take whatever you like. Your Grandpa Wang has nothing but weapons."

"Right, right, take whatever you like. I don't have much of anything else, but I've got weapons to spare!" Wang Duanshan was truly taken with Lu Qing'an's two daughters. One was so adorable, the other so pretty, and most importantly, they had actually called him Grandpa Wang.

Just listen!

Those two calls of 'Grandpa Wang' sounded so damn good!

They went straight to his heart!

Hearing this, Lu Zixuan and Lu Miaomiao didn't stand on ceremony. Who would complain about having too many good weapons?

Each of them went up and picked one, but the next moment, they heard Lu Qing'an remind them, "Take another one each. Your Grandpa Wang really won't miss a few weapons."

"That's right, that's right! Take more!" Wang Duanshan said.

So the two girls obediently did as they were told and each took another.

Once they had made their choices, they hurriedly thanked Wang Duanshan in sweet voices.

"Thank you, Grandpa Wang!"

"Haha! No need to thank me! No need!" Wang Duanshan beamed.

The sight left Xiao Qingyi and Xue Tianfei speechless.

This old man had been arrogant all his life, yet today he was showing such a side of himself!

And they had never seen Wang Duanshan smile like that before, either!

At that thought, Xiao Qingyi looked again at Lu Qing'an's two daughters and immediately understood Wang Duanshan.

There was no helping it. Lu Qing'an's daughters really were charming!

Who wouldn't like them?

"Go on, one of you give a weapon to your aunt, and the other give one to Minzi," Lu Qing'an transmitted to his daughters.

Hearing this, the two girls instantly understood why their father had told them to take an extra weapon each.

So that was what he meant!

"Auntie, I have an extra weapon. Here you go!" Lu Miaomiao was closer to Xu Yunyi, so she smiled and handed her an exceptionally fine-looking immortal tenth-grade supreme-quality treasured sword.

Xu Yunyi was stunned.

Lu Zixuan also went over to Sun Minzi and handed her the extra weapon she had received.

"Minzi, this is for you."

"This... I couldn't possibly!" Sun Minzi was dumbfounded, looking flattered and overwhelmed.

"She's giving it to you, so take it. She got it for free anyway," Lu Qing'an said calmly.

"Then... all right. Thank you..." Sun Minzi swallowed and hurriedly thanked her.

Xu Yunyi had been about to refuse. Even though the weapon she currently used was only tenth-grade high-quality, she was too embarrassed to take her niece's weapon. But upon hearing Lu Qing'an's words, she thought about it and could only accept it.

"Thank you, Miaomiao."

Lu Miaomiao smiled. "You're welcome, Auntie."

"By the way, who are these two?" Wang Duanshan asked, looking at Sun Minzi and Luo Danhong.

He could tell that Lu Miaomiao and Lu Zixuan did bear some resemblance to Lu Qing'an, and since Lu Miaomiao called Xu Yunyi Auntie, he also knew who Xu Yunyi was. But as for Luo Danhong and Sun Minzi, he didn't know what their relationships to Lu Qing'an were.

"That's right. Who is this fellow Daoist?" Xue Tianfei also asked, referring specifically to Luo Danhong.

"Never mind them. Come, let me introduce this man in particular. This is He Hong, a good friend of mine from the Immortal Ruins. Did you get acquainted just now?"

Lu Qing'an walked over to He Hong and put a hand on his shoulder.

Wang Duanshan froze when he saw Lu Qing'an place a hand on He Hong's shoulder so affectionately.

This...

Lu Qing'an had never even put a hand on his shoulder like that!

Xiao Qingyi was a little envious too.

He had never had that either!

Xue Tianfei didn't know why, but she felt a little sour inside.

She wanted him to put a hand on her shoulder like that too!!

"Uh, we got acquainted just now." Wang Duanshan hadn't expected He Hong and Lu Qing'an to be so close.

"My friend here is quite skilled at refining artifacts too, though of course he's still a little behind you. I asked you here because I want you to help me refine some treasures, and pass on some of your experience to my good friend while you're at it," Lu Qing'an said.

"Oh? You want to refine artifacts? Do you have some good materials again this time?! Ahem, this friend of yours seems quite capable. He can assist me, and how much he learns will depend on his own fortune!"

Hearing that Lu Qing'an wanted his help refining artifacts, Wang Duanshan couldn't help being delighted. But he quickly concealed his feelings, mainly because there were so many people around, and it would be easy for his carefully maintained image to fall apart.

"It's not some other material. It's the same heavenfall divine metal as the last time I asked you to refine an artifact," Lu Qing'an said.

"Even better!!! How much is there this time?! Is there enough to refine a weapon?!" Hearing this, Wang Duanshan could no longer contain his excitement.

As an artifact refiner, his favorite thing was working with mysterious materials like this!

Even after all these years, he had never forgotten the experience of helping Lu Qing'an refine an artifact that time!

It was like a first love from his youth, a feeling he could never forget in his lifetime!

He hadn't expected that, after so many years, he would actually get to use this material to refine another weapon!

"There's quite a bit this time. See how many things you can make with it."

Lu Qing'an took out all the heavenfall divine metal he had obtained this time.

In an instant, a huge mass of heavenfall divine metal appeared out of thin air, floating in the air.

When Wang Duanshan saw the sight before him clearly, he dropped onto the ground with a smack.

"Oh, my mother!!!"
