“What's going on? How did he manage to do this!” Gongsun Ruoxi's heart was filled with surging waves and terrifying tides.
The eleven Attribute Supreme-Grade Spirit Artifact Flying Swords chosen by Tan Yun were personally crafted by Murong Daoist, Gongsun Ruoxi's master, when he was a saint-level refiner thirty years ago!
Tan Yun was able to pick these eleven Flying Swords from among countless Attribute Supreme-Grade Spirit Artifact Flying Swords, akin to finding a needle in a haystack. In Gongsun Ruoxi's eyes, only a grand artisan, whose refiner skills surpassed those of a saint-level refiner, could accomplish such a feat!
"Is he a grand artisan?" As this thought surfaced in Gongsun Ruoxi's mind, she immediately dismissed it.
In her view, Tan Yun was just a young disposable disciple. How could he possibly be a grand artisan whose crafting skills surpassed her own?
Conflicted and filled with uncertainty, she simply couldn't understand how Tan Yun managed to do it!
After regaining her composure, suppressing the shock and confusion in her heart, she stared intently at Tan Yun, her delicate lips parting as she spoke with a melodious voice, "Junior Brother, there are over ten thousand Flying Swords on the shelf; why did you choose these eleven?"
"I just picked randomly, what's wrong with that?" Tan Yun said dismissively, adding, "Let’s settle the bill."
Hearing this, Gongsun Ruoxi naturally didn't believe him. Who could possibly pick these eleven from over ten thousand Flying Swords without selecting any others?
Even if one were to assume that Tan Yun got lucky and stumbled upon one or two, that might be possible. But eleven? How could Gongsun Ruoxi believe that Tan Yun was simply lucky?
Seeing that Tan Yun was unwilling to explain, Gongsun Ruoxi's eyes suddenly lit up with realization. She changed her previous cold demeanor and smiled charmingly, "Since we are both sensible people, if you don't wish to disclose, I won’t press further. How about this: as long as you answer another question of mine, I'll charge you for one less Flying Sword, how does that sound?"
One should know that even the cheapest Wood Attribute Flying Sword Tan Yun selected would cost at least two hundred million Low-Grade Spirit Stones!
Was Tan Yun tempted? Of course, he was!
If there were Spirit Stones to be made, who wouldn’t want to seize the opportunity?
"Gongsun Beauty, please go ahead," Tan Yun chuckled.
"Whoosh!"
In an instant, Gongsun Ruoxi's delicate hand reached out, and a Flying Sword shot up from the shelf, landing in her palm. She then confidently handed it to Tan Yun, saying, "You don't need to hide your identity. You are not merely a disposable disciple; you are one of our Artifact Lineage."
"Of course, I won’t pry into why you chose to disguise yourself as a disposable disciple or why you deliberately covered your face with mud. I just want to know why you didn’t select this Flying Sword in my hand."
Upon hearing this, Tan Yun smiled slightly and chose not to explain his identity.
In Gongsun Ruoxi's eyes, his smile was a tacit acknowledgment.
After receiving the Flying Sword from Gongsun Ruoxi, Tan Yun toyed with it for a moment before finally speaking:
"If I'm not mistaken, this sword should be a Supreme-Grade Thunder Property Spirit Artifact Flying Sword, and it was crafted by a woman."
"And this woman is not a thunder fetal soul; she must have used some method to temporarily set the sword aside just before it was completed, waiting until a heavenly thunder descended to refine it into the sword. That’s why it possesses the Thunder Property."
Tan Yun paused, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes, and continued, "Generally, a saint-level refiner who is not a thunder fetal soul finds it difficult to refine a Thunder Property Flying Sword to the Supreme Grade level.
"But this woman succeeded, clearly showcasing her exceptional talent during the refining process."
After hearing all this, Gongsun Ruoxi appeared calm on the surface, but inside, she was shocked beyond measure!
