The magical artifacts in the group chat finally reacted after seeing the words of the Ruyi Jingu Bang. They realized that there was such a treasure!
Since they had been calling out for so long without the group owner appearing, they shifted their attention to this newly joined artifact.
[Tai Chi Diagram: Where did this young fellow come from? Let me see, hmm, merely a Post-celestial spiritual treasure? Ah?]
[Pangu Banner: I heard him shouting so loudly just now and thought he was some formidable character. Turns out he's just a mere Post-celestial spiritual treasure!]
[Chaos Bell: I must say, the grade of this artifact is indeed too low.]
[God Slaying Spear: Not bad, not bad. Everyone here is either Chaos or Pre-celestial. Young man, you should be more low-key!]
[Qingping Sword: Exactly, exactly. Young people shouldn't be too arrogant and unruly. Be more humble!]
After seeing the grade of the Ruyi Jingu Bang, the artifacts in the group chat couldn't help but tease it.
It wasn't that they intentionally mocked the Ruyi Jingu Bang, but its grade was simply too low compared to theirs.
The Ruyi Jingu Bang also saw the grades of these artifacts and was greatly shocked.
How could these fellows be either Chaos or Pre-celestial? It felt immense pressure to be a Post-celestial spiritual treasure here!
Seeing everyone teasing the Ruyi Jingu Bang, the Heaven Measuring Ruler couldn't help but speak.
[Heaven Measuring Ruler: Alright, alright, stop bullying this young lad. He's the treasure Little Li just acquired. He's my little brother, the Heaven Measuring Ruler. Are you disrespecting me by acting like this?]
[Yellow Middle Plum: Oh? This is the new treasure Little Li acquired? Haha, my Little Li is truly blessed with fortune, acquiring another treasure!]
[Tai Chi Diagram: Merely a Post-celestial spiritual treasure, is it worth being so happy?]
[Pangu Banner: I don't know what Little Li is thinking. He doesn't want such a good artifact like me, yet he insists on taking this Post-celestial spiritual treasure?]
[God Slaying Spear: Come on, come on. If he wanted to, he'd have to be able to defeat Hongjun! We need to find a way to discuss with Little Li to retrieve me!]
[Chaos Bell: Actually, if possible, betraying Donghuang Taiyi or something isn't impossible.]
The Heaven Measuring Ruler had spoken up righteously for the Ruyi Jingu Bang, hoping everyone would pay more attention to it.
However, upon learning that this Post-celestial spiritual treasure was a newly acquired treasure by Xu Fang, everyone expressed their sighs, all feeling that Xu Fang had misjudged.
This made the Ruyi Jingu Bang even more dejected, feeling greatly discriminated against, and it declared solemnly.
[Ruyi Jingu Bang: Although all of you here have much higher grades than me, thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. Do not mock a young artifact for being poor. I believe that one day, my name will be known throughout the Great Desolation!]
[Heaven Measuring Ruler: Exactly, aspiring! As expected of an artifact under Little Li, just like me. If we brothers join forces in the future, we can travel the Great Desolation at will!]
[Ruyi Jingu Bang: Elder brother understands me! Paw shake!]
[All Artifacts: .]
Never mind, since the two brothers are being so passionate, they won't destroy their beautiful fantasies.
[Ruyi Jingu Bang: Elder brother, are you the great ruler in the sky? Indeed, you are majestic. This junior is filled with admiration. In the future... Wait, what is the master doing?]
The Ruyi Jingu Bang shouted in the chat group, and the entire artifact trembled incessantly.
It turned out that Xu Fang, with surge of spiritual power in both hands, was using his finger as a brush to carve something onto the Ruyi Jingu Bang.
[Ruyi Jingu Bang: Stop, stop! Don't come near me! Ahhh, I'm no longer a clean artifact!]
Xu Fang looked at the Ruyi Jingu Bang's frantic cries in the group chat and scratched his head. It felt as if he had done something unspeakable to it.
However, in this short time, Xu Fang had finished his task.
On the smooth body of the Ruyi Jingu Bang, right beside the hoop, a line of text had been added: "Ruyi Jingu Bang, weighing thirteen thousand five hundred catties."
Xu Fang had also added dense patterns and dragon and phoenix scripts, decorating it nicely.
"Only now does it truly resemble the Ruyi Jingu Bang in my heart!"
Xu Fang nodded with satisfaction. According to his memories from his previous life, this was how the Ruyi Jingu Bang should look.
As for the Ruyi Jingu Bang, the entire artifact wilted. It kept muttering in the group chat about being unclean. The other artifacts were speechless and all closed their chat groups.
Xu Fang was also speechless. It was just adding a few things; why the excessive crying and wailing?
Besides, it was just a low-grade artifact, what was the big deal?
According to the description of the Ruyi Jingu Bang, it had the potential to become a Post-celestial meritorious artifact.
Xu Fang recalled that to achieve such an upgrade, one had to lend it to Yu the Great during his flood control efforts to obtain the merit from controlling the waters.
It was precisely because of this merit that the Ruyi Jingu Bang could be promoted and become one of the six great Post-celestial meritorious spiritual treasures.
And thus, it gained its second name: the Tianhe Dingdi Divine Iron.
However, the human race had not yet emerged, and the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were still too far away. Naturally, there was no need to rush.
"Don't worry, one day, everything you just said will come true."
Xu Fang said silently in his heart. The passionate words the Ruyi Jingu Bang had just spoken would eventually become reality. It could be considered an inspirational figure in the artifact world.
As he was thinking this, the four dragon brothers also flew towards Xu Fang.
The remaining demons had been suppressed by the Heaven Measuring Ruler, and their strength had diminished. It was not difficult for them to deal with them.
They came to Xu Fang's side and glanced at the Ruyi Jingu Bang in his hand, which had already been partially refined. They didn't say much.
This fellow daoist had saved their lives. An artifact was simply not enough to repay such a debt. Naturally, they didn't think of taking back this treasure.
"Thank you, fellow daoist, for your assistance this time. My brothers and I are deeply grateful!"
The elder dragon bowed his hands to Xu Fang, giving a deep bow.
The three dragons behind him also bowed in unison, thanking Xu Fang for saving their lives.
"It's nothing, it's nothing."
Xu Fang waved his hand dismissively.
"I told you long ago that I came for the treasure. Rescuing you was just a side task. Now that everyone has what they wanted, it's a happy conclusion for all!"
Xu Fang was not being polite. In the eyes of the dragon brothers, Xu Fang saying this meant he didn't want them to feel indebted. This further increased their admiration, and they bowed again repeatedly.
"Alright, alright."
Xu Fang quickly beckoned them to rise and asked.
"May I ask for your esteemed names, and why you came to the East Sea region?"
Upon hearing this, the elder dragon quickly replied.
"This humble dragon's name is Ao Guang. These are my three brothers, Ao Qin, Ao Run, and Ao Shun."
Xu Fang's expression changed drastically upon hearing this, and he exclaimed in surprise.
"Dragon Kings?"
