Chapter 704 - Lecture of Refiners

Han Fei didn’t find Bei Huo, Guan Qingyan or Mu Jia’er in the Fourth Unit. He only saw that Xie Qingqing, the mature lady he saw a couple of times earlier, was spinning.

A big red dress that Xie Qingqing was wearing was spinning as her own body did.

Seeing Xie Qingqing, Han Fei intended to sneak away, but she simply shouted, “Han Fei, come here!”

Han Fei was lost for words, regretting that he called Uncle Bei Huo aloud earlier.

Summoning his courage, Han Fei walked in and asked, “Sister Qingqing, is this the new fashion?”

Xie Qingqing stood straight and said, “Do you think I’m beautiful?”

Han Fei broke into a sweat. “Yes, of course you are! Sister Qingqing, well, I have something important to do. I’ll be on my way!”

Xie Qingqing quickly stopped Han Fei. “Wait a moment. You haven’t even looked at me yet, and you said that I’m beautiful?”

Han Fei smiled awkwardly, “I don’t need to look at you to know that you’re beautiful, Sister Qingqing! Anyone can tell that!”

Xie Qingqing giggled. “Okay, enough teasing. What do you think of my dress? I sealed a Burning Fire Fish into it. But I think this dress is a little bit long. Do you think I should cut it short?”

Han Fei was lost for words. He thought to himself, You’re wearing a dress to the battlefield? What if the enemy blows wind at you?

Han Fei said absentmindedly, “It will be more beautiful if you cut it to your knees.”

Xie Qingqing considered. “Wouldn’t it lower the defense capabilities?”

Han Fei rolled his eyes. “You’re not wearing this to the battlefield. Why do you care about its defense? It only needs to be beautiful. Well, there’s really something important I need to do.”

Xie Qingqing was still dragging Han Fei. “That does make sense. As a refiner, I don’t go to the battlefield anyway. Tsk, tsk. You’re truly a thoughtful boy... Okay, Boss Bei Huo is in the Refining Hall. You can go there!”

“The Refining Hall? Does Uncle Bei Huo still need to perform refining?”

Xie Qingqing said, “Today, Boss Bei Huo is talking to several five-star refiners on refining. Xiao Guan and Jia’er are both there. You didn’t know it because you were out on a mission.”

Han Fei was stunned. “A meeting of five-star refiners? Then why are you not there, Sister Qingqing?”

Xie Qingqing shrugged. “The meeting is held once every three months. I attended it several times, but I couldn’t follow, so I stopped attending.”

Han Fei instantly ran off. “Sister Qingqing, I’m leaving. Bye bye.”

Xie Qingqing shook her head helplessly and mumbled, “It’s not like you can understand anything even if you go there. Should I really shorten the dress and lower the neckline? Let me try it...”

...

Han Fei was recognized the moment he came to the Refining Hall.

Immediately, someone shouted, “Master Han Fei, when are you getting to work? Is your service package still available?”

Someone chased Han Fei and asked, “Master Han Fei, we’re not greedy, and eighty percent is fine with us. When will you start business?”

Han Fei rolled his eyes. Do you want to be chosen again?

Han Fei instantly said, “I’ve been really busy recently. Hold on a second, guys. I need to go to a lecture!”

Leaving those people aside, Han Fei went straight at the reception counter and threw five high-quality pearls before he asked, “Where’s the meeting of five-star refiners?”

The receptionist asked in a stun, “Master Han Fei? Oh... They’re in the No. 8 refining room. Someone will receive you at the door.”

Han Fei turned around and ran to the back of the Refining Hall.

On the previous trip, he had fully recognized how powerful a good weapon could be!

With Snowmourne, which counted as a Sea Quelling Bizarre Treasure, Han Fei thought that he could just cut everything on his way without thinking when he could use it easily.

Also, he had just got some semi-divine weapons. How were they different from Divine Weapons?

He knew that the semi-divine weapons weren’t real Divine Weapons, but even so, they were still extremely powerful and much better than his other weapons.

Also, the guy’s golden battle suit and harpoon were really powerful. He might not have been able to defeat the enemy if he hadn’t fought with full strength.

At the door of the No. 8 refining room.

Two two-star refiners were guarding the door solemnly. Both of them were in their twenties. They were stunned to see Han Fei striding close.

“Stop! What are you doing?”

Briefly dazed, Han Fei quickly took out his three-star refiner certificate. “Oh! I’m here for the lecture.”

“Huh!”

At the door, the two refiners looked at each other in bewilderment. “A three-star refiner?”

“Can I come in now?”

One of them instantly smiled. “Yes, of course you can. Please come in.”

After Han Fei stepped in, the other one asked, “Who is he? Why haven’t we seen such a young three-star refiner before now?”

“Did you forget? He’s the famous newcomer a while back who offers a package from refining to soul sealing and a thirty percent discount every day.”

“It’s him? Han Fei?”

“Of course! Guan Qingyan and Mu Jia’er are already inside. Who else could the young man have been if not Han Fei?”

“Tsk, tsk. That’s one tough kid. I’m told that he only asks for two sets of materials, and he offers a thirty percent discount! He wouldn’t dare to do that if his odds of success weren’t high.”

“Hehe! Not just that. Even four-star refiners might not have the courage to do that. Their reputation would be ruined if they made a mistake in refining or failure to seal the soul.”

...

While the two refiners outside of the room were talking in amazement, Han Fei was already inside the refining room.

He saw a hundred people inside the room. Because the No. 8 refining room wasn’t too big and only had a coverage of three hundred square meters, he couldn’t even see the lecturer behind the crowd.

A voice was coming from inside.

Bei Huo was speaking aloud, “Therefore, there are many details we can pay attention to when refining ultra-quality spiritual weapons, and those details are necessary for you to become four-star refiners.”

Not far away, a middle-aged man smiled and said, “Master Bei Huo is right. It’s barely possible for a three-star refiner to craft a Divine Weapon, but the four-star refiners might be able to. Even if they fail to create Divine Weapons, the ultra-quality spiritual weapons they make will be at a whole new level.”

An old man smiled. “That’s right. Such weapons are exactly the semi-divine weapons that we often talk about. The semi-divine weapons are actually very close to Divine Weapons, but still not as good as Divine Weapons. We’ve discussed it countless times before. However, our genius refiner Xiao Guan made a semi-divine weapon recently... Xiao Guan, why don’t you tell everybody about it?”

Guan Qingyan rose and picked up a shield. “I sealed a level-47 mutated Silver-Scaled Fish into this shield. I crafted this spiritual equipment with a sealed soul... but it was still an ultra-quality spiritual weapon, so I thought to enhance it with arrays. However, I tried it many times, and the enhancement of a single array wasn’t enough to make it better than an ultra-quality spiritual weapon. So, I asked an array master to carve nine interconnected defense arrays on it. When they were carved, the semi-divine weapon was made.”

“Hiss!”

Someone was stunned. “Just nine interconnected arrays?”

Guan Qingyan nodded. “Yes, nine.”

Someone said, “That’s not right! We tried carving more than ten arrays on the weapons before, but none of them became semi-divine weapons.”

Guan Qingyan said, “The arrays have to be interconnected and combined. They are in fact only one array.”

Someone asked with complicated feelings, “Xiao Guan, which array master did you ask for help?”

Guan Qingyan shook his head. “I can’t tell you.”

Someone asked, “Then how many of such array masters does the Scattered Stars Island have?”

Guan Qingyan replied, “No more than five.”

Immediately, someone was frustrated. “That won’t help! No more than five in the whole Scattered Stars Island? They must be real grandmasters.”

Guan Qingyan continued, “It will help. When I discussed arrays with Han Fei earlier, Han Fei proposed a theory called replication... He meant that you can learn the templates of arrays by heart and try to create the same weapons with the templates. If you can make one of those weapons, you can make a lot of them!”

Someone exclaimed, “So, we only need to remember one template in order to craft some identical semi-divine weapons?”

Someone said, “So, the key to making semi-divine weapons is the array masters instead of the refiners?”

“No, no!”

While everybody was having a heated discussion, they heard a voice from over their head.

At first, they were all puzzled that someone would be over their head. They raised their head, only to see a man crawling forward on the ceiling like a spider.

Han Fei even greeted them with one hand and then said, “Old Guan, something is wrong with that method. I’ve already tried it.”

He had come up with the idea at Old Jiang’s place when he crafted the Overlord earlier.

However, he had a few experiments and realized that replication didn’t work.

Guan Qingyan’s eyes glittered when he saw Han Fei. “Brother Han, right on time. Why doesn’t the method work?”

Many people were stunned and looked up at the ceiling.

“He is Han Fei?”

“The genius refiner?”

“Is it true that he became a three-star refiner faster than Guan Qingyan did?”

“Why is he hanging from the ceiling?”

Han Fei, however, jumped off from the ceiling and dashed over. “Old Guan, have you refined a second weapon?”

Guan Qingyan frowned. “Not yet. It’s not easy to find a creature that can be sealed.”

Han Fei patted his shoulder. “That’s right. It isn’t easy to refine a second weapon.”

Bei Huo and a few other old men couldn’t help but remark, “Han Fei, we’ve considered your idea and found it feasible. We never thought of melting the arrays earlier, so we never made semi-divine weapons, but we already have one semi-divine weapon that’s made of ultimate materials!”

Han Fei waved his hand. “Uncle Bei Huo, there’s actually a problem with this. I’ve already tried it. There’s only one possible way to successfully duplicate it. No other ways will help.”

Bei Huo asked, “What’s the way?”

Guan Qingyan’s eyes lit up, “What’s the way?”

Everybody else: “What’s the way?”
