This black object, at a glance, Lu Ping recognized it as an armor plate from so magical artifact.
The armor plate was covered in gold patterns, containing an indescribable divine rune. Just by looking at it, one would feel a sense of admiration.
"It seems to be a fragnt of so magical artifact."
Lu Ping’s eyes burned with curiosity as he murmured to himself.
"Hmm, indeed this artifact is only a fragnt, not complete."
Just as Lu Ping finished speaking, a slightly hoarse voice was heard.
Even though the voice wasn’t loud, it was extrely clear in the silent shop, allowing Lu Ping to hear it distinctly.
Lu Ping’s expression changed, and he looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a mysterious figure quietly appearing beside him, accompanied by a sense of ancient tilessness.
It was also the aura of an old Cultivator who had returned to the field after experiencing nurous battles.
"How does this object strike you, fellow Daoist?"
The speaker was an old man, with grey hair and beard, looking very old and slightly hunched over, resembling a candle flickering in the wind.
He even coughed several tis as he finished speaking, as if he was suffering from an illness.
Lu Ping glanced at the white-haired elder and roughly guessed his identity, surely a Cultivator of this shop.
Therefore, he did not ask the old man’s identity but instead, shifted his gaze back to the black armor plate with a hint of interest, slowly speaking.
"Since this object is incomplete, why is it still put up for sale?"
Upon hearing Lu Ping’s question, the old man was already accustod, having heard similar inquiries from Cultivators like Lu Ping before.
With a faint tone, he said: "You may not know, fellow Daoist, this object was created by Master Gao Tianhai. Although finding the complete magical artifact is difficult, even this small piece is remarkable, enough to be regarded as a top-grade magical artifact."
The old man spoke slowly, showing so admiration on his face when he ntioned the na Gao Tianhai.
"Gao Tianhai?"
It was the first ti Lu Ping had heard this na, and he couldn’t help but mumble.
"Is he a renowned Artifact Refining Master in the Qingli Sea?"
Seeing Lu Ping reacting this way, muttering to himself, the old man looked up at him and, with a slight smile, remarked: "Hmm, it seems fellow Daoist is not a local Cultivator."
"I co from the mainland of Lingxi State."
Lu Ping didn’t hide it and nodded.
The Qingli Sea and Lingxi State mainland both belong to the Lingxi State territory, although referred to as the mainland and the Outer Sea.
The Outer Sea refers to the Qingli Sea outside of Lingxi State.
As for the Outer Realm Sea, it is not within Lingxi State’s territory.
"It’s apparent, local Cultivators brighten upon hearing Gao Tianhai’s na, even showing excitent, so much that when they see his refined magical artifacts, they regard them like treasures, extrely attractive indeed."
The old man smiled, glancing at Lu Ping, gazing into his eyes naturally.
"But you remain unperturbed, which suggests you aren’t familiar with Master Gao."
At this point, the old man didn’t keep Lu Ping in suspense and simply introduced Gao Tianhai.
"Master Gao is not only the youngest Divinity Transformation Cultivator of the Artifact Sect but also the foremost Artifact Refiner in the Qingli Sea, capable of refining up to Tier Eight Spiritual Artifacts, just a step away from becoming a Tier Nine Refiner."
"Do not underestimate Tier Eight Refiners as they haven’t reached the pinnacle of refining. It’s known that Tier Nine Refiners have not erged in the Qingli Sea for hundreds of years."
"The reason is nothing but the difficulty in finding Tier Nine demon gods or top-grade Heavenly and Earthly Treasures in the Qingli Sea, lacking such supre refining materials."
"Otherwise, with Master Gao’s Artifact Refining Talent, advancing to Tier Nine and reaching the peak of refining would not be difficult."
When speaking of Gao Tianhai, the old man’s eyes were filled with pride, as if ntioning him brought light to his own face.
Listening to the old man’s narration, Lu Ping couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
Let alone a master who has reached the Divinity Transformation Stage.
What’s more, Tier Eight Refiners, as far as he knows, such a level of refiners would be treated as honored guests by any force, definitely regarded as a figure at the top of the refining pyramid.
Because, as the old man said, to refine Tier Nine magical artifacts, the prerequisite is acquiring Tier Nine Refining Materials.
Speaking of demon beasts, a Tier Nine demon beast can be called a demon god, a supre existence leading the demon race, how many are there in this world?
Who possesses godlike ans, capable of slaying Tier Nine demon gods?
Moreover, Tier Nine level Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, Spiritual Ore Crystal Stones, and such; to date, Lu Ping hasn’t even seen them, let alone heard of them.
To cultivate a Tier Nine Refiner, one must engage in refining Tier Nine level magical artifacts; this is no easy task.
The highest-tier refiner Lu Ping has seen is Elder Jiang, Tier Six Refining level, and that’s after Elder Jiang collected refining resources from Chu Kingdom, Qi Kingdom, and Jiang Kingdom decades ago to achieve such accomplishnts.
Even now, for her, cultivating Liu Qiui into a Tier Six Refiner is quite challenging. She has to gather Tier Six refining resources throughout Lingxi State, even Qingli Sea, Outer Realm Sea, and other major states to further cultivate Liu Qiui.
Thinking about the path of refining, the higher you go, the more difficult it becos, Lu Ping feels sowhat sentintal.
Gao Tianhai achieving the remarkable feat of becoming a Tier Eight Refiner can truly be deed a talent rare indeed.
As for the Artifact Sect, hearing this na, it seems focused on refining magical artifacts.
The exact nature of this power, Lu Ping does not yet know, and will have to investigate later.
"Your eyes are sharp, senior. I seldom visit the Qingli Sea, indeed this is my first ti hearing the na of Master Gao."
Lu Ping smiled politely.
As they say, a smiling face rarely receives hostility.
The old man kindly introduced him, and naturally, he wouldn’t offend him.
"You need not be tense; local Cultivators and outsiders are treated the sa here."
The white-haired elder spoke self-assuredly, introducing himself: "I am Gao Tianhe, the shopkeeper of this shop. If you wish to buy sothing, I can recomnd well."
"Gao Tianhe?"
Upon hearing the na, Lu Ping couldn’t help but think of Gao Tianhai.
One nad Gao Tianhe.
Another Gao Tianhai.
Could there be a familial relation between these two?
"Haha, there’s no need to wonder, fellow Daoist. Master Gao is indeed my son."
Gao Tianhe chuckled, his face brimming with even more pride.
When Lu Ping heard this, he couldn’t help but feel quite surprised.
Such a prestigious refiner as Gao Tianhai turned out to be the son of this white-haired elder, truly unexpected.
The Qingli Sea really is a place of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
