Chapter 3088: Artifact Refining Exhibition

Ye Liuyun found an inn outside the Chen family estate and settled there; each night he cultivated, and during the day he and his two clones took turns going out to monitor the Chen family's situation, keeping an eye on anyone leaving the Chen family.

That day, while gathering information in a restaurant, he suddenly heard that the Chen family's outer gate would hold an Artifact Refining Exhibition, where interested people could attend, and some Artifact Refining Masters might appear on site.

Ye Liuyun, upon hearing this, immediately paid attention, inquired carefully, even went to the Chen family's outer gate to confirm, and learned that on the exhibition day one could indeed come and go freely through the outer gate.

Although it was only the outer gate, that was already sufficient.

He felt certain he could find a chance to get close to the Chen family's artifact refiners.

"This great clan truly is different; the Chen family actually holds such an exhibition!"

He also sighed inwardly, thinking the Chen family was indeed generous, willing to showcase their own crafted works for others to see.

Ye Liuyun felt pleased, returned to the restaurant, planned to have a meal, then go back to the inn and wait for the exhibition to begin.

But just after he ordered, a young man dressed in the Chen family's inner disciple attire entered the restaurant, surrounded by a group of wealthy young masters.

The group shouted loudly as they entered, calling to the waiter: "Quickly find us a private room; the Heart Refining Master has arrived!"

The Chen disciple wore a smug expression, his head held arrogantly high.

The restaurant staff bowed and led them up to a private room on the second floor.

"Master?"

Ye Liuyun smiled and shook his head.

Just by seeing the man's arrogant demeanor, he knew he could not be a top-tier master.

Nevertheless, he thought this was a good opportunity to get in touch with an inner disciple.

He was now pondering how to break through the private room's shielding Formation.

Using Spatial Power, he had already discovered that the Formation enveloped all layers of void.

Ye Liuyun intended to apply the method for breaking spatial shields, doing the opposite by smashing the ninth layer of void from the outside.

He acted immediately, using Spatial Power to push the void outside the Formation toward it, quickly forcing the shield to crack open.

Ye Liuyun then stopped at once.

These cracks were already enough for him to freely enter or eavesdrop on its interior.

So he sent his clone to breach the spatial barrier, rushing through the void to gather information.

The clone also emerged directly from his Space World without needing an Invisibility Cloak, passing through the void and listening at the Formation's cracks to hear what the people inside were saying.

It turned out they were asking the Chen disciple about which weapons and treasures would be displayed at the upcoming exhibition, and which masters would appear.

Through their conversation, Ye Liuyun learned that the final stage of the auction would be the sale of the exhibited weapons, which would be auctioned on the spot.

And the appearing masters would ultimately grant a person's artifact refining request.

However, it depends on what competitors can present to attract those Artifact Refining Masters, as well as the masters' preferences.

At that time, the communication between both sides will matter.

In this stage, simply throwing money at it yields far less effect.

These Artifact Refining Masters are not short of money; they lack certain special resources.

At this moment, the young man called the Heart Refining Master said to the others: "I only know that Uncle Ancestor Huo Yang and Senior Sister Lian Yu will attend.

As for what treasures they will display, I cannot say.

When the time comes, I will also bring a treasure to display and will attend."

"Master Huo Yang!"

"I heard Master Lian Yu isn't that old?"

The others, upon hearing this, immediately became interested in the two, and many eyes lit up.

Obviously, these two's artifact refining skill is far superior to Chen Lianxin's.

"What grade of treasures are those?"

Someone else asked directly.

Chen Lianxin replied disdainfully: "When Uncle Ancestor Huo Yang and Senior Sister Lian Yu act, at least it's genuine ninth-grade items; items of too low a grade could never be displayed!"

"Indeed! The Chen family produces many masters; such a public display must be of high grade.

Heart Refining Master, why not give us a hint about what you're preparing, so we can be ready to snap it up then!"

A Martial Cultivator immediately started flattering him.

Chen Lianxin immediately showed a hint of pride, feigned modesty, but finally said: "The exhibit I bring is a Formation Flag that seals void; although it's only a genuine seventh-grade treasure, even a ninth-layer Martial Cultivator cannot escape its seal."

"Impressive!"

"Sealing void?

That's a good thing!"

A few others also flattered him, making Chen Lianxin feel very proud.

These people kept praising Chen Lianxin, but he seemed to have shared all the information he knew and said nothing further useful.

The rest was these people stating their needs, hoping Chen Lianxin would help refine some items.

Their requests, at most, were genuine seventh-grade.

It seems Chen Lianxin can only refine items up to that grade.

But for ordinary Martial Cultivators, genuine seventh-grade treasures are already sufficient.

Many treasures of this grade can even withstand attacks from ninth-layer strong beings.

The clone listened a bit longer, gauging the approximate prices of these items, and got a sense of the numbers.

Then it considered trying to leave a Divine Sense imprint on Chen Lianxin, to more easily locate him later.

However, Chen Lianxin's Soul Power and Spatial Power seemed not weak; when the clone tried to enter the Formation, he sensed it and used his own Spatial Power to investigate.

The clone instantly flashed back to Ye Liuyun's Space World, leaving him unaware.

Yet Chen Lianxin still noticed the private room's Formation had cracks, and displayed his skill, prompting the restaurant to improve the Formation later.

After the inn also verified that the formation indeed had a loophole, it also sparked another round of flattery from the martial cultivators around him.

Ye Liuyun also had no choice but to temporarily give up, waiting for a future chance to speak again.

He immediately settled the bill and returned to the inn to cultivate.

He also had the two clones carry enough primordial power, so they could join him at the exhibition later.

The primordial power he has now obtained has piled up like a small hill inside the Space World, and everyone can freely take as much as they want.

Each of the two clones took several thousand units of primordial power, making ample preparations for participating in the exhibition.

Both clones also prepared treasures that needed to be upgraded in grade.

The first clone held the Hunting Demon Bow and Hunting Demon Armor, the second clone prepared the Item bow, while Ye Liuyun prepared several sets of gilded armor.

In fact, many of the treasures he favored still needed to be upgraded in grade, but he couldn't take them all out at once.

He could only first take these things to test the artifact refiners here.

His purpose this time was not artifact crafting, but to capture the artifact refiners.
