Chapter 1077

"What?"

Xu Que instantly widened his eyes, looking shocked.

What is the meaning of this?

This King of Acting Cool has worked hard to refine for so many days, finally figured out how to refine a Fifth-Grade dharma treasure, and now you're telling me it's not needed?

Holy crap, and you even said you found a true Fourth-Grade Artifact Refining Grandmaster, this meaning is implying that I'm a fake, right?

Fine, even if I'm a fake, you can't compare an outsider Fourth-Grade Artifact Refining Grandmaster with me. I'm different from those coquettish bitches outside!

"Miss Feng, wait a moment, I need to sort this out! According to what you mean, you look down on my ability and feel that others have more certainty, right?" Xu Que raised his eyebrows and said very unhappily.

For so many years, it had always been others begging him to do things. Even if he was looked down upon, he could always act cool with his strength and slap their faces back!

This time it was originally the same. He knew Feng Lanwu and Xiao Ru didn't believe he could refine a Fifth-Grade dharma treasure, but according to his prediction, he would soon be able to slap their faces strongly and earn Acting Cool Points!

But never expected this! This Feng Lanwu was too ruthless, directly taking away even the opportunity for him to act cool and slap faces, simply an invincible operation!

"Fellow Daoist, don't misunderstand. You are so young and can refine a Third-Grade dharma treasure, which can be called a genius among geniuses. Such aptitude is definitely unique in the entire Zhenyuan Immortal Realm. It's just... now that the Feng Chamber of Commerce is in trouble, we cannot take risks. Although that Fourth-Grade Artifact Refining Grandmaster is not a famous master, he is experienced and has studied the way of artifact refining for many years, so he won't easily make mistakes. That's why we decided to ask him for help!" Feng Lanwu hurriedly opened her mouth to explain.

In fact, Xu Que refining a Third-Grade dharma treasure had already shocked her, but as she said, this matter was related to the future and even the life and death of the Feng Chamber of Commerce, so she had to choose a more stable and experienced senior.

In the final analysis, she was afraid that Xu Que was too young. If a mistake occurred, they and the Feng Chamber of Commerce would also be finished.

"Mistake? Does artifact refining not allow for mistakes?" Xu Que couldn't help but frown.

Although he did make many mistakes at first, that was because it was his first time refining. But in the later period, he had basically been able to skillfully control the Strange Fire and divine soul power, ensuring his success rate reached one hundred percent. As long as he wasn't refining across levels, there would definitely be no mistakes.

But he could do this because of many reasons. As for others, Xu Que didn't believe they could also achieve one hundred percent success. Artifact refining mistakes must be a very normal phenomenon, right?

"No, artifact refining involves too many processes and flows, so mistakes will definitely exist. But this time, our Feng Chamber of Commerce needs to compete for several spots, so we need an Artifact Refining Grandmaster to participate in the Artifact Refining Conference. This conference stipulates that each contestant is only allowed two mistakes, so a total of only three sets of materials are provided. Once the number of mistakes exceeds two, it means being eliminated!"

After Feng Lanwu said this, she looked at Xu Que and smiled bitterly: "So... Fellow Daoist, please understand. It's not that we don't have confidence in you, it's just that considering all aspects, we hope to be more stable!"

"Uh... alright then!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Que could only shrug his shoulders and give up on getting his face back.

After all, people had already spoken to this point, was there any need for him to stick his face up and beg for a chance to help?

A dignified generation of King of Acting Cool wouldn't be that cheap, turning around to beg others to give him a chance to help. This was truly unnecessary!

"Since that's the case, I won't disturb you anymore! Although I still want to say that I have the confidence to absolutely refine a Fifth-Grade dharma treasure, you definitely won't listen, so let's just leave it at that, goodbye!"

In the end, Xu Que cupped his hands and left the flying boat directly.

He actually knew very well that whether it was Feng Lanwu or the little maid, they didn't value him that much, and didn't take his background and strength to heart.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have even asked his name until now, and had always only called him "Fellow Daoist"!

Feng Lanwu looked at Xu Que's departing figure and couldn't help but sigh slightly: "Sigh, he might have some resentment toward us in his heart. Xiao Ru, did I choose wrong by doing this?"

"Second Miss, don't blame yourself so much. If it were anyone else, they would definitely choose that Fourth-Grade Artifact Refining Grandmaster!" Xiao Ru opened her mouth to comfort her, because she also felt there was nothing wrong with it.

Feng Lanwu shook her head: "No! His aptitude is truly one in ten thousand. It's a pity that our Feng Chamber of Commerce can't even protect itself, and we can't take care of making friends with him. Forget it!"

"Hehe, Second Miss, if our Feng Chamber of Commerce can succeed this time, get the spots, and get some treasures, we might not only save the chamber of commerce but also return to the glory of the past. By then, let alone Artifact Refining Grandmasters, maybe even Artifact Refining Masters will take the initiative to make friends with us!" Xiao Ru giggled.

"No!" Feng Lanwu's expression suddenly froze: "Xiao Ru, remember this. Don't say such things randomly. Even if our chamber of commerce can return to glory and even stand higher than before, our status can never surpass those Artifact Refining Grandmasters and Alchemy Grandmasters. Their status is noble, far higher than you imagine!"

"Alright, Xiao Ru understands!" Xiao Ru nodded.

"Hmm, alright, let's return to Baihui City to prepare first. My father and eldest sister should be arriving soon. The Artifact Refining Conference in half a month must not be missed!" Feng Lanwu said, her expression incredibly firm and serious!

At the same time, Xu Que had already moved far away from Feng Lanwu's flying boat, standing in a wilderness, his gaze fixed on a huge and magnificent ancient city not far away.

Even though he was still far from the ancient city, Xu Que still saw the three big characters "Baihui City" written on the city gate!

This was very different from the place he had stayed before. Obviously, during the time he was in seclusion refining artifacts, Feng Lanwu hadn't stopped the flying boat, but had driven it and brought him to this new place.

At this time, at the gate of Baihui City, countless cultivators were coming and going, most of them at the Half-Immortal and Human Immortal stages, but no Earth Immortal experts were to be seen!

However, these Half-Immortal and Human Immortal cultivators were indeed slightly stronger than those of the same stage in the Lost Land. After all, cultivators of the Earth Continent had complete heaven and earth rules, which was ultimately more than those with fake realms!

But what surprised Xu Que was that from time to time, there were some Combined Body stage, Tribulation Transcendence stage, and even Infant Transformation stage cultivators and mortals passing by.

Logically speaking, the Earth Continent was also a place where other cultivators landed after ascending, belonging to the Lin Xian Realm, so there shouldn't be low-level cultivators or mortals appearing.

But thinking carefully, whether they were mortals or cultivators, they were ultimately people. Mortals give birth to mortals, and cultivators give birth to mortals, all of whom have to start cultivating from zero. So it was normal for low-level cultivators and mortals to appear in this place!

"Tsk tsk tsk, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Let's go into the city for a stroll first, and by the way, think of a way to check if there is a Jade Pool in the other immortal domains. If not... I'm afraid I'll really have to run to the Tianzhou Continent!" Xu Que muttered to himself and stepped toward Baihui City.

Feng Lanwu had told him that there was no Yaochi in the Zhenyuan Immortal Realm, but besides the Zhenyuan Immortal Realm, there were five other major immortal domains in the Earth Continent. Before figuring out whether Yaochi belonged to the Earth Continent, Xu Que couldn't rashly run to the Tianzhou Continent, otherwise, the time wasted going back and forth would only be more.

"Eh? It seems the cities of this Earth Continent are not much different from other places!"

After entering Baihui City, Xu Que looked around with a smile and muttered to himself.

The buildings in the ancient city were ancient and elegant, no different from the cultivation world, and there were also stall vendors and various shops on the street, people coming and going, very lively.

Looking at everything in front of him, Xu Que couldn't help but miss the four continents of the cultivation world!

However, just as he was a bit distracted, suddenly there was a muffled "thump" sound, and a figure bumped into him lightly.

"S... sorry!"

Following closely, that figure apologized in a hurry and then hurried away.

"No problem!" Xu Que smiled calmly and responded, his eyes narrowed as he watched that figure go away!

At this time, a few young cultivators passed by and saw this scene, and couldn't help but laugh.

One of the red-clothed women shook her head and shouted: "Silly boy, don't you know you've lost something? That person just now is clearly from the Thief Sect. You couldn't even see such a clumsy and rough stealing method, and you just foolishly said no problem, haha!"

"Thief Sect? Stealing? Nonexistent!" Xu Que heard this and instantly weighed a strange storage ring in his hand, smiling: "I, Bai Zhantang of the Zha Tian Bang, have never had anything stolen from me!"
