Chapter 1097: Chapter 1097: Opportunity to Refine a 7th-grade Magic Treasure

"What do you think, young friend?"

Duan Yuanfeng looked at Lin Chen and asked.

However, Lin Chen’s expression remained indifferent, making Duan Yuanfeng mistakenly believe he was not interested.

"How about this, besides this volume of Divine Dragon Fist, I can also refine a Seventh-Rank Magical Instrument for you, Lin Chen, as an exchange."

Duan Yuanfeng continued to propose.

Deng Yangbo, who was beside him, chuckled speechlessly.

Usually, people haggle step by step in negotiations, but Duan Yuanfeng proactively increased the stakes.

But Deng Yangbo did not understand that this Artifice Mastery Secret was crucial to Duan Yuanfeng. He was determined to get it and thus offered favorable conditions upfront, hoping Lin Chen would agree outright.

It was known that requesting Duan Yuanfeng to refine a Seventh-Rank Magical Instrument usually required a hefty price.

Apart from the materials needed for refining, a substantial reward had to be paid, and even then, Duan Yuanfeng’s consent wasn’t guaranteed.

Yet now, Duan Yuanfeng directly promised to refine a Seventh-Rank Magical Instrument for Lin Chen, which made Lin Chen feel embarrassed.

He had originally feigned indifference as a bargaining tactic, but didn’t expect Duan Yuanfeng to be so straightforward, making it hard for Lin Chen to push for more.

"Since Master Duan has said so, I thank you in advance. However, I will provide the materials for the refining."

Lin Chen calmly responded.

With abundant resources on him, Lin Chen was willing to provide valuable materials himself to ensure a better quality artifact since it was for his own use.

"You’ll provide the materials?"

Duan Yuanfeng was initially overjoyed because Lin Chen had agreed to the exchange, but then he was stunned at hearing Lin Chen would supply the materials.

He didn’t believe Lin Chen could produce materials good enough for refining a Seventh-Rank magic treasure.

After all, a Seventh-Rank magic treasure belongs to the divine instrument grade, and even a Creation Realm expert would struggle to gather all necessary materials easily.

Previously, a Creation Realm expert almost exhausted all resources gathering materials for a Seventh-Rank magic treasure and ultimately had to offer the Divine Dragon Fist as compensation.

The Divine Dragon Fist, being a mid-divine martial technique, was incredibly valuable. Although Duan Yuanfeng wasn’t skilled in fist techniques, he accepted the compensation due to its mid-divine rank.

Thus, Duan Yuanfeng didn’t underestimate Lin Chen but rather thought Lin Chen, being young, might not fully understand the preciousness and rarity of materials needed for a Seventh-Rank magic treasure.

At that moment, Lin Chen perceived Duan Yuanfeng’s concern from his words—worrying he couldn’t provide the necessary materials for a Seventh-Rank magic treasure and hence would delay the refining process.

Lin Chen lightly waved his hand and took out over twenty materials from the space of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, each matching the Seventh-Rank grade.

The appearance of these materials immediately changed the complexion of Duan Yuanfeng and Deng Yangbo. They hadn’t expected Lin Chen to fetch such high-grade materials effortlessly.

Any of these materials would fetch a sky-high price at an auction. In Duan Yuanfeng’s view, the grade and quality of these materials surpassed even those he possessed.

Deng Yangbo and Duan Yuanfeng exchanged glances and surmised Lin Chen’s identity from each other’s eyes.

The ease with which Lin Chen produced these materials and his calm demeanor suggested these were not all he had.

Coupled with his nonchalance towards a mid-divine martial technique, they could almost confirm Lin Chen came from an exceedingly powerful force, possibly training outside and had for some reason come to Tian Que City of the Cloud Dragon Kingdom.

Although they had suspicions about Lin Chen’s identity, they did not probe further.

After all, some ancient sects operate secretly and do not wish for the outside world to know their identity.

At this point, Duan Yuanfeng glanced at the materials Lin Chen produced and immediately realized Lin Chen intended to refine an archery-type magic treasure.

"Young friend, are you planning to have me help refine an archery-type magic treasure?" Duan Yuanfeng asked.

"Exactly, my cultivation technique leans towards archery, so I wish to ask the master to help refine an archery-type magic treasure."

Lin Chen replied, though he already possessed a powerful magic treasure like the Cloud-Piercing Arrow, each use expended immense energy, more than he could currently wield easily.

The Cloud-Piercing Arrow, being an ancient magic treasure, though a divine artifact, was too old and not as convenient as a newly-refined one.

Lin Chen recalled offending Lei Hao from the Central State Flying Crane Sect when he was in the Eastern Domain and worried that Lei Hao might lead the sect’s experts to retaliate in the future.

If alone, Lin Chen could escape without worry, but he had the Jade Cauldron Sect and innumerable friends and family behind him, so he had to be prepared to protect them.

Lin Chen had initially planned to acquire a divine-grade magic treasure as a trump card if the opportunity arose but didn’t expect an opportunity to refine a Seventh-Rank magic treasure to come to him voluntarily.

It must be said that presenting the Artifice Mastery Secret indeed turned out to be a great profit for Lin Chen.

"Lin Chen, young friend, do you want me to refine the bow and arrow according to the designs I possess, or do you have other requests?" Duan Yuanfeng asked.
