Chapter 1259: Chapter 1259
The Martial Arts Trade Fair held by Mirror Lake Villa is generally about making friends through martial arts and trading various items.
However, some factions use such occasions to extend an olive branch to certain cultivators.
The person in charge of Hanhai Group, who has just spoken, is undoubtedly here to recruit and expand their influence.
After the representative of Hanhai Group spoke up, a beautiful middle-aged woman also began to speak.
"Master Xia He, our Galaxy Magic Artifact Store is willing to cooperate freely with you long-term."
"As long as you refine a magic artifact, we can purchase it immediately at a price five percent higher than the market rate."
The head of Hanhai Group, Galaxy Magic Artifact Store, and several other organizations successively spoke up at this moment.
Not only them, but even some cultivators expressed their desire to purchase magic artifacts at this time.
"Master Xia He, how are these Heart Clearing Jade Pendants to be traded this time?"
After a cultivator asked, many eyes in the hall turned to Xia He.
Master Xia He clearly enjoyed this feeling of being the center of attention.
Regarding the offers from several organizations, Xia He neither accepted nor rejected any of them.
As for those cultivators who wanted to purchase magic artifacts from her, she could trade with them one by one now.
However, when Xia He's gaze fell on Zhang Xiaoshan.
She saw, with some annoyance, that Zhang Xiaoshan shook his head in feigned understanding at the Heart Clearing Jade Pendant she refined.
Seeing this, Xia He naturally was quite angry as she spoke to Zhang Xiaoshan.
"Just now, I saw you looking at the three Heart Clearing Jade Pendants I refined and sighing."
"Looks like you are not impressed with these three Heart Clearing Jade Pendants I made?"
As soon as Xia He said this, everyone's eyes in the hall fell on Zhang Xiaoshan.
The magic artifacts refined by Xia He were evidently very effective.
The Fire-controlling Ring displayed by the martial artist earlier had made many people envious.
The three Heart Clearing Jade Pendants Xia He brought out this time were considered valuable items essential for cultivation by many.
As everyone looked at Zhang Xiaoshan at this moment, their thoughts were the same as Xia He's.
That Zhang Xiaoshan was acting like he knew what he was talking about when he did not.
Under everyone's gaze, Zhang Xiaoshan also gave a stunning answer to Xia He's question.
His answer was simple but left everyone present quite shocked.
No one had expected him to respond this way.
Xia He immediately felt angry and sneered:
"You find the magic artifacts I refined unimpressive, so are you saying your artifact refining skills are quite good?"
Since Zhang Xiaoshan entered this hall, Xia He has been speaking sarcastically.
Upon being questioned again, Zhang Xiaoshan shook his head and replied:
"It's not that I find your artifacts unimpressive; it's that these artifacts are a complete waste of materials."
Zhang Xiaoshan's words were already quite tactful.
If he was more straightforward, he would say the so-called magic artifacts refined by Xia He were utter rubbish.
Ding Peng, who was wearing a black trench coat and possessing the Fire-controlling Ring artifact, angrily said to Zhang Xiaoshan!
He wasn't just a paid spokesperson for Xia He; he had customized many magic artifacts with Xia He. Fresh chapters posted on NoveIꜰire.net
In Ding Peng's view, the artifacts refined by Xia He were indeed very good.
Though they didn't drastically enhance his combat capability, they provided significant convenience for his cultivation.
Following Ding Peng, some other martial artists also spoke with dissatisfaction.
"Crossing fields is like crossing mountains!"
"An outsider guiding insiders, isn't it laughable?"
After this martial artist spoke, another martial artist continued:
"Hu Lie of the Flying Fox Sect does not understand artifact refining techniques."
"Even Grandmaster Hu Lie doesn't understand, so where could you, as his true disciple, have learned artifact refining techniques?"
"Since you don't understand artifact refining techniques, don't comment so casually!"
Most of the martial artists here were familiar with Xia He.
Facing such a situation, they naturally stood by Xia He's side.
Hearing the words of those around him, Zhang Xiaoshan was completely unfazed.
He looked at Ding Peng and said:
"The Fire-controlling Ring on your hand is refined using Red Copper True Essence as the main material."
"Red Copper True Essence is a rare material that can only be found in small quantities at a volcano's crater."
"Normally, after being refined into an object, Red Copper True Essence absorbs the essence of heaven and earth."
"Over time, the power of the refined object would become stronger."
"But your Fire-controlling Ring is terribly refined, utterly botched."
"If I'm not mistaken, the power of this Fire-controlling Ring has evidently decreased significantly from its original state, right?"
As soon as Zhang Xiaoshan said this, everyone in the hall showed a puzzled expression.
Grandmaster Hu Lie of the Flying Fox Sect is certainly not a Qi Refining master.
But Zhang Xiaoshan's earlier speech was detailed and eloquent.
He seemed to really understand artifact refining!
Ding Peng was also quite dumbfounded now.
Zhang Xiaoshan was right, but Master Xia He had told him differently originally.
Master Xia He said that after using it more than five hundred times, the artifact's power would continually be depleted.
Ding Peng couldn't be sure now whether it was due to Master Xia He's lack of refining capability.
