Chapter 503: This Name Was Born for Pill Refining

Li Shi Trading Firm!

"Brother Xiao, if you have any more good things to sell in the future, feel free to contact me at any time. The price will definitely be higher than what other trading firms offer."

Li Chongshan gave Lin Chen three red-gold money notes. These were money notes issued by the Thousand Machines Sect. Each gold money note had a face value of one hundred thousand Flame Coins, so three notes totaled three hundred thousand Flame Coins.

Lin Chen could understand why Li Chongshan would be so enthusiastic. He had sold items worth three hundred thousand Flame Coins to Li Chongshan, and Li Chongshan could turn around and sell them in the trading firm for at least four hundred thousand Flame Coins.

A price difference of one hundred thousand Flame Coins!

Li Chongshan was a Second Stage Innate martial artist. A martial artist at this level serving as a manager in a trading firm certainly wasn't just taking a salary; there must be a sales commission. One hundred thousand Flame Coins would at least yield a commission of several thousand Flame Coins.

For a Second Stage Innate powerhouse, several thousand Flame Coins could already be considered a not-insignificant income.

"Good."

Lin Chen nodded and agreed. Before he came to the Li Shi Trading Firm, he had also gone to other trading firms, and the quotes were indeed lower than what Li Chongshan gave.

"Brother Xiao didn't come to the auction last time. Three days later, there will be an artifact refining competition in Hundred-Refinement City. If Brother Xiao has time, you might as well come to watch. The judges for this artifact refining competition are all artifact refining masters. If Brother Xiao has any needs then, I can introduce you."

Li Chongshan took out an invitation letter once again. Lin Chen took it and pondered for a long time: "Good, I will arrive on time then."

Artifact refining master is the title given by the Thousand Machines Domain to some artifact refining experts.

The Thousand Machines Domain has an artifact refining competition, which is held by the Thousand Machines Sect. It assesses pill refining, artifact refining, arrays... and gives different titles according to the ranking in the competition. The highest is Artifact Refining Grandmaster, followed by Master, then Intermediate Artifact Refiner, and Artifact Refiner.

Every artifact refining master is at least at the Fourth Stage of the Innate Realm, but those at the Fourth Stage of the Innate Realm are not necessarily able to become artifact refining masters.

But what attracted Lin Chen was not the realm of the artifact refining master, but that every artifact refining master had their own unique attainments in the aspect of spirit. This was the reason they could become artifact refining masters.

For Lin Chen, since he had arrived in the Thousand Machines Domain, he naturally couldn't let go of understanding cultivation techniques in the aspect of spirit. Although he had secretly learned the Thousand Machines Sect's Spirit-Controlling Record, he couldn't display it openly. The offensive techniques needed to be comprehended by himself.

Perhaps, watching this artifact refining competition could provide him with some ideas.

"You are going to watch that artifact refining competition?"

Walking out of the Li Shi Trading Firm, Hearing Yin Yue asked curiously.

"I'm not watching."

"Not watching?"

Hearing Yin Yue was a bit puzzled. Since he wasn't watching, why did he accept this invitation letter?

"I am prepared to sign up for the competition myself."

Lin Chen smiled slightly. This Manager Li, besides giving him the invitation letter, also told him about the situation of this artifact refining competition.

The artifact refining competition is a unique competition in the Thousand Machines Domain and is also the most attractive one.

The entire artifact refining competition is held by the Thousand Machines Sect. Artifact refiners are recommended by various cities. As for how various cities recommend them, for the sake of fairness, various cities also held city artifact refining competitions. Like a big city like Hundred-Refinement City, it possessed ten spots. The top ten were qualified to participate in the final competition held in Thousand Machines City.

For the artifact refiners in the Thousand Machines Domain, being able to stand out in the artifact refining competition is equivalent to passing the imperial examination, meaning that many sects and families will send resources and hire them as guests of honor.

And in order to encourage more people to study deeply in artifact refining, the Thousand Machines Sect also allocates resources to these cities based on the rankings of the artifact refiners recommended by major cities in the final competition.

In this situation, shining brightly in the artifact refining competition doesn't just represent glory and wealth, but also represents bringing honor to one's ancestors.

And major cities, for their own interests, will also give generous rewards to the artifact refining competition. Lin Chen also pried out the rewards prepared by various major families in Hundred-Refinement City for this artifact refining competition from Li Chongshan's mouth.

The top three all have spirit cultivation technique rewards!

Hearing Yin Yue knew what Lin Chen's goal was, but still frowned: "Your spirit strength is indeed sufficient, but artifact refining is not that simple. You haven't studied artifact refining, and in just three days... I fear it's not enough, right?"

"The competition starts in three days, but the entire competition lasts for seven days. You can learn while participating in the competition. What you need to do now is to first buy some jade slips related to artifact refining to read."

Lin Chen smiled. After his spirit strength was raised to level 10, his comprehension also reached level 7. With the blessing of level 7 comprehension, learning artifact refining was not a difficult thing.

"Do you know why I took the name Xiao Yan for myself?" ===== CHAPTER 504 =====
