Chapter 3091: The Master Takes the Stage

Ye Liuyun checked the numbers, estimating that this time the Chen family's inner sect Elders and Artifact Refining Masters were also many; together there must be at least ten or so.

They didn't wait long; soon an inner sect Elder of the Chen family appeared, bringing several Artifact Refining Masters, among them Chen Lianxin.

However, after that Elder sat down, the four chairs beside him were empty.

"Those who show up at this time should be ordinary Artifact Refining Masters.

Those four chairs are reserved for the true masters!"

Ye Liuyun guessed in his mind.

Sure enough, the inner sect Elder first said some ceremonial words, then emphasized that this time they had forged void‑tier weapons, and then introduced the Artifact Refining Masters beside him to the crowd.

The items forged by these Artifact Refining Masters were all on‑site displays of True Tier sixth to eighth grade items.

Ninth Prince, Elder He Ming, and Elder Yao Feng also politely greeted these Artifact Refining Masters, showing no sign of contempt.

Ye Liuyun also does not look down on these Artifact Refining Masters.

The Artifact Refining Masters under his command cannot even forge True Tier items.

He simply feels these people are not worth the risk of capturing.

Afterwards, those Artifact Refining Masters all stepped out, moving into the crowd to explain and answer questions.

This segment is actually the favorite part of some Artifact Refining Masters; they rushed up to ask about their refining methods and followed them to learn.

Some Martial Cultivators from other factions also stepped forward to get to know these Artifact Refining Masters, introduced their own backgrounds, and learned about the items they were interested in.

Ye Liuyun and his clones mingled within the crowd, taking the opportunity to plant Divine Sense seals on these Artifact Refining Masters.

Although he may not act against these Artifact Refining Masters, if a chance arises he certainly would not let it slip.

For the exhibits that the Artifact Refining Masters themselves did not bring, the crowd could only learn about them through the written introductions above.

After everyone had examined the products, the Artifact Refining Masters returned to their seats, and the Chen family Elder announced the start of bidding on the exhibits.

The sale began with the lower‑grade exhibits.

Some Martial Cultivators indeed supported the event; even True Tier sixth‑grade treasures attracted interested buyers.

Ye Liuyun heard people around say that some came here to pick up leftovers.

Because these products had no floor price, everyone could bid arbitrarily.

Some people deliberately bid very low; when competition was not fierce and the price stayed low, they would buy first and later resell.

Even the Formation Flag forged by Chen Lianxin to seal the void sold for fifty Primordial Power, which pleased him greatly.

Overall, Ye Liuyun felt the prices were far lower than at an auction, so buying would basically guarantee profit.

That Seventh Tier alchemical cauldron, the First Clone also bought for fifty Primordial Power.

Ninth Prince, He Ming, and Yao Feng were chatting leisurely with the Chen family inner sect Elder and did not pay attention to the bidding.

When it came to the eighth‑tier Kuailei, the Second Clone spent eighty Primordial Power, and no one competed with him.

Although Kuailei was relatively popular, its weakness was a body that was not sturdy enough, and many thought equipping it with a high‑grade armor set would be uneconomical.

Most people believed Kuailei's main role was to block gunfire in battle, so the weak, non‑sturdy Physical Body was still very apparent.

With eighty Primordial Power, even those looking for leftovers could not guarantee a profit.

Hence the Second Clone easily snapped it up.

Ye Liuyun pretended to approach, letting the thief cat deliver a True Tier eighth‑grade armor set to the Second Clone.

In the Blue Whale's treasure, there are more than ten armor sets, all True Tier seventh to ninth grade.

The ninth‑grade armor, Ye Liuyun prepared to keep for his own people, reluctant to give it to this Kuailei.

Anyway, the eighth‑grade armor was sufficient for the Kuailei's survival.

The Second Clone immediately inputted Divine Sense, filled the Kuailei with one Primordial Power as energy, let it wear the armor, and gave it a freshly looted True Tier ninth‑grade longsword as its weapon.

Then he found a Unified Eighth Layer Martial Cultivator to duel the Kuailei; the moment the Kuailei struck, countless voids stacked around it, its sword cut instantly, and it also sealed the opponent's void, killing the foe with a single slash.

"Ha ha, found a treasure."

The Second Clone at once gave the Kuailei a Storage Ring, loaded it with some Primordial Power as energy, allowing it to store weapons, and named it the Space Kuailei.

When the True Tier eighth‑grade exhibits were nearing the end of the auction, four more Artifact Refining Masters arrived one after another.

One of them, an elderly man with messy red hair, was Chen Huoyang.

He was at the Unified Ninth Layer realm, his whole aura aflame, his attire also unkempt and very casual.

Yet he looked quite aged.

A young woman, dressed in plain clothes, bright eyes and white teeth, with an ethereal temperament.

This Artifact Refining Master turned out to be Chen Lianyu.

Ye Liuyun had not expected that the Lianyu Master praised by everyone was so young and a beauty.

However, her realm was Unified Seventh Layer.

There was also a middle‑aged man in his forties, with a serious face, sword‑shaped eyebrows, star‑like eyes, full of masculine vigor, at the Unified Eighth Layer realm, named Chen Xing.

Another man in his thirties, surnamed Liu, named Liu Yuanyang, at the Unified Seventh Layer realm, also a renowned Artifact Refining Master cultivated by the Chen family.

When these people appeared, even Ninth Prince, Elder He Ming, and Elder Yao Feng all stood up to greet them, daring not to be negligent.

Ye Liuyun thought it was reasonable; after all, they were the top Artifact Refining Masters of the Fire Seal Dynasty and indeed deserved respect.

Their Divine Soul Power and the fire flame power within them were not weak; the fire flame power likely had limited attraction to them.

Their Physical Bodies were also not too strong, so they probably didn't care much.

Especially Chen Huoyang.

Both his Divine Soul Power and fire flame power were the strongest, but his vitality was relatively weak, so refining likely consumed him more.

"Hope the Life Spring Water can pique his interest!"

Ye Liuyun prepared to use Life Spring Water to lure him into refining for him.

Chen Lianyu's True Essence Quality was relatively poor; although her Divine Soul and fire flame were not as strong as Chen Huoyang's, they were stronger than everyone else's.

Ye Liuyun thought for a moment, estimating that this girl could become an Artifact Refining Master at such a young age, and her Bloodline Power could not be lacking.

So he decided to use the Condensing Yuan Technique as a condition to attract her, letting her help refine the Gilded Armor, and even could give her a set of the armor's gilding.

If that is still not enough, then add a Blood Spirit Demon as well.

If Chen Lianyu herself has strong Bloodline Power, then she would know the importance of bloodline-related resources.

As for Chen Xing and Liu Yuanyang, their cultivation is relatively balanced, so he can only decide later based on the situation.

Now he lacks confidence in attracting even Chen Huoyang and Chen Lianyu, estimating that his meager resources could not possibly draw in all four Artifact Refining Masters.
