Everlasting Warm Wood 209: 208.
Everlasting Warm Wood Shen Tianle and Fang Yuan seemed interested after hearing Duan Muhan’s words.
Shen Tianle would not have come with Fang Yuan if his disciples had not returned with riveting tales of the Ninth Floor’s amazing table…
The two nodded at the Third Prince and Mo Chenfeng, exchanged greetings, and proceeded straight to the divided table, observing the tabletop and its base that were separated on the observing platform…
When Fang Yuan came near, his eyes brightened.
The tabletop’s material was refined from Millennium Warm Wood.
Millennium Warm Wood is a divine wood that matured over a millennium, adding flexibility to a weapon during its refinement process, and also providing it with a healing factor…
The Millennium Warm Wood, although not exceedingly rare on the Lingtian Continent, is inimitably precious due to its requirement of a thousand years to mature before it can be used…
Yet, the Ninth Floor had the extravagance to use the Millennium Warm Wood to make a dining table for its guests.
No matter how Fang Yuan thought about it, it felt egg-achingly wasteful…
Even Shen Tianle was stunned.
Just how ostentatious could one person be to own such a large piece of Millennium Warm Wood!
Greed flashed across Shen Tianle’s eyes, but he managed to keep it well-hidden…
Just when Fang Yuan and Shen Tianle had barely recovered from their initial shock of the Millennium Warm Wood, they were stunned all over again by the table’s refining method…
This time, even Shen Tianle was too shocked for words.
As the saying goes, an expert knows the value with a glance.
Putting aside that the tabletop is made of Millennium Warm Wood, just the skill required to create this tabletop was beyond both their capabilities…
They were both people who had studied artifact refinement for hundreds of years.
Even though Shen Tianle had desired to own the Millennium Warm Wood upon seeing it, compared to the Millennium Warm Wood, it was this exquisite artifact refining technique that really stirred their interest…
If they could meet the person behind this artifact, their own levels of artifact refinement would surely improve!
“Duanmu kid, do you know who refined this table?
Where is that person?
Can you invite them so that this old man can meet them?” Fang Yuan turned to Duanmu Han and asked with excitement after regaining his equilibrium.
“President Fang, what’s the matter?
Can you repair this table?” Duanmu Han asked with a furrowed brow.
“Repair?
Yes, we can, but we can’t repair it.
Only the original refiner can repair it.
Otherwise, no one else can!” Fang Yuan replied with slight confusion.
Confused by President Fang’s statement, Duanmu Han turned his puzzled gaze to Shen Tianle.
He knew that Shen Tianle was always competitive and reluctant to admit that anyone was superior to him…
Unexpectedly, Shen Tianle approved of President Fang’s remark when he caught Duanmu Han’s look, saying: “The president is right, this table can only be repaired by the original refiner!
Not to mention that we cannot repair it, even if we have the ability to repair it, we do not have the necessary flame!
If I am not mistaken, the person who refined this table used an extremely powerful Divine Fire!”
“Exactly, it is indeed a Divine Fire!
The flames that Tianle and I possess are mere abnormal fires!” Fang Yuan said somewhat regretfully.
He had always wanted to find a Divine Fire, but Divine Fire is a divine object between heaven and earth, and hence is not easily found…
“So, you mean that as long as you have a Divine Fire, you can repair this table?” Duanmu Han asked hesitantly.
If I remember correctly, the fire of Huai Canzui, the president of the Artifact Refining Guild in Beifeng City, is a Divine Fire!
Since President Huai is currently in Fengyun City, maybe he could make a request…
“That depends on the artifact refinement skill of the person!
If they have a Divine Fire, there should be a possibility it can be repaired!” Fang Yuan said uncertainly.
“Third Prince, may I trouble you to make a trip?” Duanmu Han asked, turning his gaze to Third Prince Ouyang Luochen.
Ouyang Luochen naturally understood what he meant and nodded, saying: “Okay, I will ask Ancestor right away!”
After speaking, he turned and left…
“Duanmu kid, who is he going to find?” Fang Yuan asked curiously.
“It’s President Huai from the Artifact Refiner’s Guild in Beifeng City!” Duanmu Han said awkwardly.
After all, this matter was from their Fengyun Country, and now they had to ask for an artifact refiner from another nation, which was quite unorthodox!
“He came to Fengyun City?” Fang Yuan asked with a displeased expression upon hearing the news.
“Ahem, yes, apparently he came for the Beast Tamer Conference!” Duanmu Han braced himself and said.
He knew that Fang Yuan has always been at odds with Huai Canzui.
The two of them didn’t really have any grudge between them, they simply could not stand each other!
Fang Yuan was obsessed with artifact refinement, so a majority of the Artifact Refining Guild affairs were managed by Vice President Shen Tianle, while he was single-mindedly focused on artifact refining…
Simply put, he was a president who was indifferent to fame and fortune, and Huai Canzui was very similar to Shen Tianle.
Both prioritized their own interests.
The Artifact Refiners’ Grand Assembly was held once every ten years at the Guild’s headquarters, after which resources were allocated according to the competition’s rankings…
Fengyun Country had always been the weakest of the Seven Countries, and if it weren’t for the shrewd Shen Tianle holding up the Artifact Refiners’ Guild of Fengyun City, the passionate Fang Yuan’s ambitious plans would have most likely led to the Guild being swallowed up by other guilds…
Before, Huai Canzui, due to his relationship with Ouyang Lin, had secretly sent people to the Artifact Refining Guild through Ouyang Lin to persuade Fang Yuan to join the Beifeng City Artifact Refining Guild as the president, but Fang Yuan had all always refused…
Upon hearing the news of Huai Canzui’s arrival in Fengyun City, Shen Tianle’s eyes flickered, but he lowered his head and remained silent without speaking…
Mo Chenfeng had been standing to the side listening to the conversation all along, and when he heard the two Artifact Refiner’s Guild presidents rate the table so highly, he couldn’t help but feel a bit proud, as he knew Jiuli, who was reportedly residing in the Ninth Floor, must have a deep relationship with it…
He looked at how extraordinary his own niece was, surrounded by such impressive people!
He secretly decided that he had to visit the Ninth Floor more often for meals in the future, to support Jiuli’s friend’s business…
“Humph, even if they invite him, it would be futile!
Dreaming of repairing this table with his capability is just plain laughable!” Fang Yuan said with great annoyance.
“Dreaming is better than some people who are not even qualified to dream, right?” As the voice echoed, the Third Prince walked in with Huai Canzui.
Huai Qianzui was planning to challenge the Alchemist Association in Fengyun City, so he decided to go into seclusion for three days.
Ouyang Lin had returned to the palace, leaving him some spare time just as Ouyang Luochen came looking for him…
Huai Qianzui nodded at Duanmu Han, Mo Chenfeng, and Shen Tianle, then provocatively looked at Fang Yuan: “Hey Old Fang, what’s wrong?
Are you embarrassed because your flame is too weak?
I’ve told you many times.
If you need Divine Fire for refining something, just give me a shout.
Although I’m very busy and my fee for artifact refinement is very high, I still would respect your standing.
Moreover, considering Ouyang’s face, I might even consider giving you a discount!”
