The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 1264 - 1257: Shaking Tianyao City

After resting for a full two hours, Ye Chenfeng’s throbbing headache finally subsided to a degree. Just as he was about to rise from the ground, his expression suddenly changed. He felt the spiritual energy within him start to churn uncontrollably. Then, a surge of Spirit Communication Realm Fourth Heaven Peak spiritual energy spread outward, and Ye Chenfeng’s strength instantly broke through to a higher minor level.

One must know, refining these storage rings is not only mentally taxing but also consumes a tremendous amount of spiritual energy. Just now, in one intense burst, Ye Chenfeng had crazily refined one hundred rings in one go. Unknowingly, he had touched the barrier of breakthrough, effortlessly stepping into the peak of the Spirit Communication Realm Fourth Heaven.

Ye Chenfeng unconsciously touched his nose, the corners of his lips curving slightly upward. He turned toward the people outside the compartment and said, "He Ping, you can come in now. I’ve completed refining the storage rings."

"Creak!"

As soon as Ye Chenfeng’s words fell, the compartment door opened. He Ping and the other two entered enthusiastically. Before they even noticed the floor covered in storage rings, Huang Chongyi directly asked, "Boss, how many storage rings did you refine this time? Ten?"

Ye Chenfeng shrugged indifferently and said, "Can’t you three just look at the floor yourselves?"

When He Ping, Huang Chongyi, and Xiang Xiaoyi’s gazes fell on the storage rings covering the ground, they each inhaled sharply. Then, their breaths became labored, and they tried hard to rub their eyes. Confirming that what lay before them wasn’t an illusion, Huang Chongyi suppressed his excitement and asked, "Boss, did you make all of these storage rings?"

"Mm," Ye Chenfeng nodded and said calmly, "The time was too tight this round, and I ran out of Ethereal Stones, so I only managed to refine a hundred storage rings."

He Ping and the other two’s eyes immediately widened to the size of lanterns, their hearts pounding fiercely as though about to leap out of their chests. They felt as if they were struggling to breathe, their throats reflexively swallowing nonstop. A single storage ring was equivalent to fifty thousand High Grade Spirit Stones? Then a hundred storage rings were equivalent to five million High Grade Spirit Stones? The three were so shocked they almost passed out.

He Ping and the other two were well aware of the two artifact refiners in the Refining Sect who had comprehended the Space Law. Even they could only refine a total of one hundred storage rings in an entire year. Yet Ye Chenfeng had managed to accomplish this within a matter of hours?

Following Ye Chenfeng as their boss, the three felt like their hearts were on the verge of bursting out of their chests time and again due to one shock after another.

After a full fifteen minutes, He Ping and the others finally recovered slightly. Reluctantly tearing their gazes away from the piles of storage rings, they turned their eyes to Ye Chenfeng once more. Instantly, their eyes widened again. He Ping cautiously asked, "Boss, Boss, did your strength just break through again?"

Ye Chenfeng saw no need to hide it. Casually, he responded, "While refining the storage rings, I accidentally broke through."

Accidentally broke through?

He Ping and the other two were utterly dumbfounded. Their shock had reached its peak, rendering them completely numb. They stood in a daze, staring at their boss, Ye Chenfeng, realizing that in his presence, they might as well not exist.

Ye Chenfeng casually swept the hundred storage rings on the floor into his own storage ring before adding, "Tomorrow, after I auction off a portion of the storage rings, we’ll leave Tianyao City immediately. For now, you should all go and rest." Ye Chenfeng had no intention of auctioning all one hundred storage rings at once, considering it far too attention-grabbing. He reminded himself repeatedly to maintain a low profile.

Meanwhile, as Ye Chenfeng crazily refined one hundred storage rings, a sensation rippled through Tianyao City due to the defective storage ring he had sold earlier. By now, everyone in Tianyao City knew that a storage ring, superior to those made by the Refining Sect, had been auctioned at the Ziyun Auction House. The streets and alleys hummed with discussions about this event.

"Have you heard? A master artifact refiner unrelated to the Refining Sect has appeared in Tianyao City. Based on the storage ring they refined, their grade must be extremely high."

"Isn’t that obvious? The storage ring crafted by that refiner is leagues ahead of the ones made by the Refining Sect. I wonder if that mysterious artifact refiner will continue to auction storage rings at Ziyun Auction House?" freёwebnoѵel.com

"A couple of days ago, I saw a young kid buying a piece of Ethereal Stone in the Divine Artifact Pavilion. Do you think the ring auctioned at Ziyun Auction House could have been refined by that kid?"

"Are you out of your mind? Everyone knows that refining storage rings requires comprehension of the Space Law. How could a mere kid possibly grasp the Space Law? Even those geniuses from top-tier sects haven’t achieved that."

...

The streets of Tianyao City buzzed endlessly with speculations, making the mysterious "artifact refiner" and their so-called defective storage ring the center of attention throughout the city.

At Tianyao City’s outer gate, Wu Changnan, the Great Elder of the Qingyang Sect, had been waiting for several days. Beside him stood a hunched old man named Zhou Haifu, whose strength was at the Ocean Gathering Realm Fifth Heaven Peak.

Wu Changnan was waiting for Ye Chenfeng and his group to leave Tianyao City. To ensure he successfully captured Ye Chenfeng, he had no choice but to enlist Zhou Haifu’s help. Zhou Haifu was a close friend of Wu Changnan’s.

Zhou Haifu wore an impatient expression and remarked, "Old Wu, why haven’t those brats you’re talking about left Tianyao City yet? Do they really have a supreme cultivation technique on them?"

Wu Changnan nodded and said, "Old Zhou, if we want a supreme cultivation technique, we must remain patient. By the way, Tianyao City has been quite lively these past couple of days. I’ve heard of a mysterious artifact refiner appearing out of nowhere."

"Indeed! Artifact refiners hold incredibly prestigious statuses. People like us are probably beneath their notice," Zhou Haifu sighed.

If Wu Changnan and Zhou Haifu were to find out that the mysterious artifact refiner they were discussing was none other than Ye Chenfeng, their target, they wouldn’t have known how to react.

Meanwhile.

Inside the Divine Artifact Pavilion of Tianyao City.

The plump shopkeeper Zhu Mingqian sat on a chair, while Hua Zhao, at the Creation Realm First Heaven Initial Stage, stood beside him. After a long silence, Zhu Mingqian asked, "Any movement from those kids?"

Hua Zhao shook his head and replied, "I’ve stationed people at the city gates round-the-clock. As soon as those kids step out of Tianyao City, we’ll receive the news immediately. However, our men have also discovered another group stationed outside the gates, seemingly targeting those kids as well."

Zhu Mingqian nodded and asked, "What’s their strength level?"

"They’re all at the Ocean Gathering Realm," Hua Zhao answered directly.

Learning this, Zhu Mingqian no longer felt concerned. He said, "If they choose to follow along, we’ll just send them on their way as well."

Then, Zhu Mingqian continued, "I also heard that a mysterious artifact refiner appeared in Tianyao City. Go investigate and see if you can uncover this refiner’s background. If we can recruit them into the Refining Sect, the sect might even break protocol and let me join. Plus, with my father’s support, who knows? That refiner’s storage rings are significantly better than the Refining Sect’s work."

"Understood, I’ll look into it thoroughly, but the chances of identifying that mysterious refiner are slim," Hua Zhao nodded.

Zhu Mingqian was clueless that the mysterious refiner he was so intent on recruiting was none other than the target he sought to eliminate, the "kid" Ye Chenfeng.
