Xu Feng possessed three Superior Dao Instruments. In fact, the Xuan Guang Jing was scrapped, the Ice Fire Blade was refined, and there was another sword-shaped Dao Artifact that, according to Jiang Wujue's last wishes, was to be returned to the Golden Stone Workshop.
Now that Xu Feng's strength had greatly increased, it was time to return Jiang Wujue's relics.
Xu Feng said, "These forty Supreme Treasures are of great importance. I hope to personally visit the Golden Stone Workshop to follow up on this matter. I wonder if Director Tao could facilitate this?"
Tao Bao hesitated and replied, "The Golden Stone Workshop has a reputation built over thousands of years. As long as we accept your order, we will certainly fulfill it. Xu Daoyou, I cannot promise you this request."
Xu Feng responded, "I apologize for my boldness. My visit to the Golden Stone Workshop will not involve observing your production process; I am entrusted to pay a visit to Senior Mu Zilin."
Tao Bao questioned, "You wish to see our ancestor?" Mu Zilin was the first master of Goldstone and had long since passed away.
Xu Feng said, "Please, Director Tao, make an introduction." Having a familiar person introduce him would be much better than going in without any prior connection.
Wujue Pavilion had just sold five Supreme Treasures and received a large order from Xu Feng. Since he was visiting out of goodwill, there was no reason not to help.
Tao Bao said, "Since Xu Daoyou is keen on visiting our Goldstone Workshop, I would naturally welcome you. No problem; I will take you back to the Golden Stone Workshop."
The Golden Stone Workshop ranked sixth in Xian Dao, second only to Pingdao Sect. Such a large sect naturally attracted a steady stream of visiting cultivators, especially those Refiner who were eager to gain entry into the Golden Stone Workshop. Even if they couldn't get in, receiving guidance from the Refiner at the Golden Stone Workshop would still be immensely beneficial.
Xu Feng was different from those visitors; he intended to meet the ancestor directly. If it weren't for Xu Feng's substantial order, Tao Bao would have never dared to accept such a request.
Seeing that Tao Bao agreed, Xu Feng expressed his gratitude: "Thank you."
The two agreed on a time to visit the Golden Stone Workshop, and Xu Feng left Wujue Pavilion with five Supreme Treasures.
Tao Bao then called over Zhen Tao and whispered, "Send someone to investigate Xu Feng's background and report back to me tomorrow." Zhen Tao nodded in response and left.
Xu Feng wandered around Xianxia City for a while and noticed that there were people occasionally locking their divine senses onto him. These were relatively weak divine senses, easily perceived under Xu Feng's powerful Soul Power.
This place was very close to the Purple Cloud Sect, and the only enemy of Xianxia City was the Purple Cloud Sect. It was likely that the spies of the Purple Cloud Sect had spotted Xu Feng. He paid them no mind; after all, there was only one Divine Separation Late Stage cultivator, Su Meng, from the Purple Cloud Sect, which posed no significant threat.
Entering a Cultivation Method shop, Xu Feng took a quick glance around.
The shop had a comprehensive selection of Cultivation Methods, including Alchemy, Refining Tools, and various formations and talismans, arranged from low to high levels. However, the highest level available was only Divine Separation Stage; there were none above Great Perfection Stage.
Most of the attack-type Cultivation Methods were of low quality, with only a few mid-quality ones available. Their power was inferior to the Great Strength King Fist and the Purple Hand Seal. These were standard Cultivation Methods; truly powerful ones would not be sold here but rather through auctions to find those who needed them most, thus driving up the price.
Xu Feng bought a complete set of Cultivation Methods from low to high quality. These ordinary items were not expensive; over a hundred books totaled only about five million spirit stones.
Having plundered a Spiritual Vein in Liuxiang Kingdom, Xu Feng had plenty of spirit stones. He had continuously robbed other cultivators along the way, so he never lacked spirit stones. This time he had set aside forty Supreme Treasures, spending eighty million without hesitation, and signs of depletion began to show in his spatial spirit stones.
With a pile of Martial Arts Manuals in hand, Xu Feng checked into the long-awaited New Dragon Gate Inn.
After two hundred years away, the attendants had long since changed. Xu Feng requested a moderately priced room, locked the door behind him, and began to refine the five magical treasures he had just purchased.
As is customary for sellers, each magical treasure was given a name to enhance its appeal; naturally, these five treasures also had names.
The four exquisite Treasure Blades were named: Jin Xi Liuguang, Wood Element Tongyou, Water Severing, and Earthly Peace Rock.
An Earth Element Armor was named Prison Dragon.
Only the Fire Elemental Battle Blade gifted by Xu Mo remained unnamed. Xu Feng didn't concern himself with it; when the time was right, these five Supreme Treasures would still need to be upgraded to Dao Artifacts; otherwise, it would be difficult to contend with Wuwei Academy.
The power of refining the Supreme Treasure at the Mid Stage of Spirit Separation has become much easier than before.
Thirdly, Xu Feng completed the ritual refining of five magical artifacts, upgrading the artifacts in his hands, replacing the previous five Superior Magical Artifacts.
Fourthly, at the agreed time, Xu Feng arrived at Wujue Pavilion. Tao Bao was busy in the shop for a while, took care of everything, and then brought Xu Feng back to Golden Stone Workshop.
Golden Stone Workshop is located in the eastern part of Jianhu District, not far from Immortal Hero City, only thirty miles away.
Tao Bao called for a Spirit Beast Car, and the two of them got in. This Spirit Beast Car is exclusively used by Wujue Pavilion, only traveling between Immortal Hero City and Golden Stone Workshop.
The speed of the Seventh-Level Flying Spirit Beast is incredibly fast, reaching a speed of eight thousand miles per hour while pulling the carriage.
After a while, the Spirit Beast Car stopped in a mountainous area, which is part of Golden Stone Workshop's territory.
A bald-topped Decapitation Mountain stood in the distance, occasionally spewing sparks; it turned out to be a volcano.
Tao Bao said, "That volcano is also within our Golden Stone Workshop's territory. All Refiners who come to collect ground fire must pay us a fee for obtaining fire."
Refiners, besides their own true fire, also refine various types of ground fire to enhance their Refining Tool level.
Two disciples from Golden Stone Workshop came over to take away the Spirit Beast Car.
Following the main road, they arrived at an estate that was lush with trees and well-organized, protected by a large formation that blocked the ash and smoke coming from the volcano.
At the main entrance of the estate sat two real lions, not stone lions, with four strong men guarding the entrance. Above the door were three large characters in purple gold: Golden Stone Workshop.
“Director Tao!” The four disciples bowed to Tao Bao, “Who is this?”
Tao Bao replied, “This is Xu Feng, our client, and he has come to visit.”
The four then bowed to Xu Feng, who returned the gestures. When out in public, it is wise to show respect.
Upon entering the Golden Stone Workshop, the layout was complex, with numerous buildings arranged in a way that hinted at deeper meanings, clearly constructed according to some formation.
Occasionally, groups of two or three disciples patrolled with swords, all possessing strength above the Golden Core stage. The estate was quiet, and it was unclear where the disciples of Golden Stone Workshop resided.
After a short while, they arrived at a hall. Tao Bao invited Xu Feng to sit down and said, “Xu Daoyou, our ancestor has passed away for a long time, and it is impossible for you to enter the forbidden area of the ancestral hall. I can only ask one of our elders to receive you. Since you are here on someone else's behalf, you will be treated similarly by our elder.”
Xu Feng understood that entering the forbidden area of Golden Stone Workshop was not an option. He replied, “Xu Feng is merely fulfilling a senior's last wish. As long as it is one of the high-ranking elders of Golden Stone Workshop, I will be satisfied.”
Having received three Dao Artifacts from Jiang Wujue, along with a large amount of Refining Tool materials, he promised to return the ring and the Dao Artifacts to Golden Stone Workshop. Now possessing strength at the Mid Stage of Spirit Separation and protected by a Sword Formation, he felt confident in fulfilling his promise to Golden Stone Workshop.
Tao Bao nodded slightly and turned to leave, leaving two disciples from Golden Stone Workshop waiting outside.
Although ranked sixth in the Xian Dao, Golden Stone Workshop usually kept a low profile. Besides operating a magic item store, they rarely involved themselves in other matters and focused more on technical work rather than being active in business.
The storefront of Golden Stone Workshop was uniformly named Wujue Pavilion, limited to the Jianhu District. Unlike Jingcheng Auction, which had branches across the Five Lakes, they maintained a singular presence.
Wujue Pavilion also sold Dao Artifacts, all of which were Low-Grade Dao Artifacts. However, each store only had one piece available as a prized possession. For Medium-Grade Dao Artifacts, customers could only place advance orders; they were expensive and often hard to come by—having money did not guarantee availability.
Every sale of a Dao Artifact was recorded, so as long as it was from Golden Stone Workshop, one could easily find out who purchased it.
As for the Superior Dao Instrument, there is no need to think about it; even the Golden Stone Workshop only has one.
After having a cup of tea in the living room, Tao Bao led a cultivator inside. Upon seeing the person at the door, both of them quickly bowed and addressed him as Elder.
Tao Bao introduced, "This is our Four Elders, Wei Ji from the Golden Stone Workshop. If you have any matters, you can discuss them with the Four Elders."
Xu Feng bowed to the Four Elders and said, "Xu Feng pays respects to Elder Wei."
Wei Ji had already heard about Xu Feng from Tao Bao on the way and said, "You are Xu Feng. Hmm, not bad. To challenge Silverbeard with your Mid Stage of Spirit Separation strength, you are the first one to do so in thousands of years."
Xu Feng knew this was a result of the Xu family's publicity and wasn't surprised. However, Tao Bao was shocked; after all, the news from Wujue Pavilion couldn't compare to that of the Golden Stone Workshop headquarters. Tao Bao exclaimed, "Xu Daoyou, are you really going to challenge Silverbeard from Wuwei Academy?"
Xu Feng replied, "That is indeed the case."
Wei Ji said, "Silverbeard killed Xu Ruchu. Challenging Silverbeard as a disciple of the Xu family is reasonable. Regardless of success or failure, the Xu family will gain fame in Zheguo because of your battle."
Xu Feng stated, "I only wish to seek justice for my elder sister from the Xu family and have no other intentions."
Wei Ji sat down in the main seat and said, "I don't want to get involved in your grievances, nor can I. Now that you're at Golden Stone Workshop, besides those forty Supreme Treasures, do you have any other matters?"
Xu Feng replied, "I have been entrusted by someone to ask Elder Wei to take a look at something."
Tao Bao's face turned slightly red. He had been stationed at Wujue Pavilion for many years; if Xu Feng wanted Wei Ji to appraise materials, it would be like slapping him in the face—he would be greatly underestimated.
The two disciples outside were worried about any unexpected events and quietly moved closer to Wei Ji.
Xu Feng reached out and took out a piece of red ore the size of a bowl.
"Fire Crystal!"
Tao Bao and Wei Ji both exclaimed. Fire Crystals are very famous in the realm of artifact crafting; any cultivator with a basic understanding of Refining Tools can recognize a Fire Crystal at a glance. The first piece of Fire Crystal that Xu Feng obtained was left behind by Jin Liaoyuan.
The two were not surprised because they recognized the Fire Crystal, but rather because the size of the Fire Crystal was simply too large. Typically, one could find pieces the size of a fingernail, which could fetch a good price. Yet, Xu Feng had pulled out a piece as large as a bowl; just this one piece of Fire Crystal would cost no less than ten million spirit stones.
Wei Ji took it in his hand, examined it, and said, "Not bad, the quality is pure, without any impurities. It's an excellent material for refining Dao Artifacts. Name your price; I won't let you suffer a loss."
Xu Feng replied, "I'm not selling it."
Wei Ji felt slightly disappointed. He had already prepared a high price in his mind, just waiting for Xu Feng to speak.
Xu Feng said seriously, "Senior Wei, this piece of Fire Crystal originally belonged to the Golden Stone Workshop. I came here only to return it to its rightful owner; how could I dare to sell it?"
Hearing Xu Feng say this, Wei Ji and Tao Bao felt their minds short-circuiting, bewildered and unsure of what to think.
