Chapter 1191: Acting Cool Again

Essence?

Everyone present was stunned, including Mo Junchen, who was very astonished.

This staff had already been refined like this, fusing the Purple Void Geng Metal without the slightest waste. Why add more things?

Could it be that this old man still had materials comparable to Purple Void Geng Metal on him, or even materials more precious than Purple Void Geng Metal?

"Leader Xu's father, what else are you adding?" Mo Junchen asked, a bit confused.

He knew Xu Que understood some artifact refining methods, but that was precisely why he couldn't understand.

Logically speaking, if there were other materials, they should have been taken out early and fused with the Purple Void Geng Metal onto the staff for the best effect.

Now that the Purple Void Geng Metal had been refined and fused with the staff, adding things on top of it would be a bit like painting a snake and adding feet. Even if the material taken out was divine-grade, the overall effect would be greatly reduced!

"Nothing, you rest for a while. Let me handle the final finishing touches!" Xu Que smiled, tapped his toes on the ground, flew into the air, and blocked the purple-black shiny staff.

Bang!

Xu Que struck out with a punch, slapping the staff toward the vicinity of the Divine Fire across the air, keeping the Purple Void Geng Metal on the staff in a high-temperature state, not letting it completely cool and solidify.

He immediately summoned the system interface, his mind stirred, and he mobilized all the Artifact Refining Essence, pointing directly at the staff!

"Ding! After detection, this mid-grade Immortal Artifact can be upgraded to a high-grade Immortal Artifact by fusing 5 million points of Artifact Refining Essence!" The system prompt sounded immediately.

What?

Xu Que immediately widened his eyes, his face full of shock.

Previously, he had refined Dharma Artifacts, but Dharma Artifacts could only fuse a few tens of thousands of points of Artifact Refining Essence at most, with an upper limit. And every half-grade Immortal Artifact could only be decomposed into 100,000 to 200,000 points of Artifact Refining Essence.

So Xu Que originally thought that this mid-grade Immortal Artifact would also have an upper limit, and it might cap out at 100,000-plus Artifact Refining Essence.

But he never expected that it could fuse 5 million points of Artifact Refining Essence and directly upgrade to a high-grade Immortal Artifact!

This is really... deadly!

Being able to upgrade is definitely a good thing, but the problem is, where can he get 5 million points of Artifact Refining Essence now?

"System, count my unused half-grade Immortal Artifacts!"

Xu Que immediately shouted at the system.

A window popped up on the system interface, listing more than 20 half-grade Immortal Artifacts. Excluding the ones he had used, this was Xu Que's entire stock, and they were all half-grade Immortal Artifacts he hadn't used.

According to the fact that each half-grade Immortal Artifact could be decomposed into 100,000 to 200,000 points of Artifact Refining Essence, even if each one could be recycled for 200,000 points, consuming all 20-plus pieces would at most yield about 4 million points, completely failing to reach 5 million points of Artifact Refining Essence.

"This is troublesome. Where can I get 10 more half-grade Immortal Artifacts?" Xu Que immediately fell into a difficult situation.

Artifact Refining Essence must be used during or after artifact refining. If this opportunity is missed, even if he accumulates enough Artifact Refining Essence in the future, he won't be able to upgrade the staff.

But he couldn't get extra Immortal Artifacts right now. Watching a high-grade Immortal Artifact slip away from his eyes was really a pity!

Xu Que hovered in mid-air, lost in thought.

The crowd below all looked up at him, and couldn't help but become confused again.

"What is this Elder Xu doing?" Ji Wu Yun frowned.

"He kept the staff near the fire, not wanting to finish the refining, keeping it at high temperature, but why is he standing there motionless?" A guardian also spoke, completely unable to understand what was going on.

Some people also looked at Mo Junchen. After all, the only one present who was most proficient in artifact refining was him, an Artifact Emperor.

"Protector Mo, what's the situation with this... cough cough, this Leader's father?" Duan Jiude also looked at Mo Junchen and asked.

However, Mo Junchen was even more confused than the others, shaking his head helplessly, "You ask me, I don't know what's going on either. From the moment he took out that staff, I was already stunned!"

"You guys know nothing. This deity saw it at a glance. He is communicating with that staff and cultivating feelings!" Er Gouzi shouted, looking like he understood everything!

Everyone rolled their eyes at the same time and directly ignored its words.

Cultivating feelings by communicating with an artifact?

Even if there was an artifact spirit, it wasn't a way to cultivate feelings like this. Standing there motionless, cultivating feelings my ass. Not to mention that there was no artifact spirit in this staff at all!

"Swish!"

At this moment, Xu Que in the air suddenly had movement.

He turned his head to look at the crowd below, locked his eyes on Er Gouzi and Mo Junchen for the first time, and asked, "Do you have any half-grade Immortal Artifacts on you? Low-grade ones are fine too!"

"Ah?" Mo Junchen and Er Gouzi were both stunned.

Immediately, both the man and the dog shook their heads, indicating they didn't have any.

Mo Junchen naturally had some collections in his early years, but when he left the Artifact Sect, he left all the artifacts he had refined to the Artifact Sect. Now, if he wanted to take out a half-grade Immortal Artifact, he would probably have to spend time finding materials to refine it.

In Xu Que's current situation, he couldn't refine a new half-grade Immortal Artifact in time, and he couldn't find the artifact refining materials that easily.

Er Gouzi was even more so. This idiot had quite a lot of private collections, but they were basically all for eating and drinking. It probably couldn't squeeze out half a half-grade Immortal Artifact.

Everyone present was also stunned, unable to understand why Xu Que needed Immortal Artifacts at this time.

"Damn, Little... pfft, no, Leader's father, why do you only ask them but not me?" At this moment, Duan Jiude, seeing himself being ignored, immediately became anxious.

"You? Do you even need to ask? If you can take out a half-grade Immortal Artifact, I'll eat shit!" Xu Que said with disdain.

"Grass!" Duan Jiude was so angry that his beard and eyes were blowing, and he threw out an ancient turtle shell. It was the turtle shell he used for divination before, and this thing was actually a half-grade Immortal Artifact.

The atmosphere of the scene instantly became awkward.

"Awoo!" Er Gouzi jumped up excitedly, turned around, and ran away, "This deity is going to take a shit!"

Xu Que's mouth twitched.

He never expected Duan Jiude's luck to be so awesome. Having an inheritance was one thing, but he even got his hands on a half-grade Immortal Artifact.

However, this turtle shell had already been refined by Duan Jiude as his life-bound Immortal Artifact, so he couldn't snatch it and recycle it to the system.

"Uh, forget it, just pretend I didn't say that just now!" Xu Que waved his hand.

The next moment, his gaze fell on Bai Cailing, and his eyes lit up, as if he remembered something.

"Daughter-in-law, let me discuss something with you!" Xu Que said with a smile.

Bai Cailing was stunned for a moment, "I don't know what Elder Xu has in mind?"

Xu Que touched his chin and said solemnly, "Emmm... I have thought about it carefully and repeatedly just now. According to the marriage contract, if you take out 10 Immortal Artifacts, your marriage contract with Xu Que can be canceled. Why don't you not marry over, and change it to 10 Immortal Artifacts, how about that?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was instantly dumbfounded.

The people of several major forces looked at Xu Que, unable to believe it.

This old man is too casual. For 10 Immortal Artifacts, he actually wants to sell his daughter-in-law in public... no, it's to cancel the marriage in public, and the object is the Saintess of the Yaochi Holy Land?

Flamboyant, really flamboyant!
