Seeing that Elder Crane’s attitude was quite good, Yang Chen casually took out a Storage Bag containing Spirit Stones, weighed it in his hand for a moment, and said, “Elder Crane, I, Yang Chen, am not a stingy person. As long as you can meet my satisfaction, these Spirit Stones, without a single one missing, will all be yours.”

Having said that, Yang Chen threw the Storage Bag to Elder Crane.

Elder Crane hurriedly caught it, opened it to check the quantity of Spirit Stones inside, and was instantly dazzled by the sight, his eyes glowing with excitement.

However, despite his elation, Elder Crane was not the kind of person who didn’t think things through. He knew that these Spirit Stones seemed enticing, but they weren’t his yet. If he couldn’t handle Yang Chen’s matter properly, he might not even get a single Spirit Stone, and that would be a big problem.

Thinking of this, Elder Crane hurriedly said, “I don’t know what the Young Sect Master wants me to do… Regarding artifact refining tasks, I will do my utmost to help the Young Sect Master achieve the best results.”

Seeing Elder Crane’s clever choice of words, “doing my utmost,” left no room for criticism.

Yang Chen narrowed his eyes, seeing that Elder Crane was a clever man.

He liked dealing with intelligent people.

With that thought in mind, Yang Chen took out the Purple Forbidden Soaring Dragon Spear and said calmly, “Take a look at this Spirit Weapon.”

As Elder Crane held the Purple Forbidden Soaring Dragon Spear, he couldn’t help but flatter, “What a fine spear! Judging by its material, it’s a decent Middle-Level Spirit Weapon!”

Spirit Weapons are ranked.

Generally, there are low-quality Spirit Weapons, such as the Dazzling Mind Bell.

Next are the Lower-Level Spirit Weapons, such as the Boots, and Heart-Protecting Mirror that Mu Baisheng gave to Yang Chen. They are trivial and common Spirit Weapons. Following them are the Middle-Level Spirit Weapons, such as Yang Chen’s Purple Forbidden Soaring Dragon Spear.

Above them are the Upper-Level Spirit Weapons, and the Supreme-Level Spiritual Instruments!

Above the Supreme-Level Spiritual Instruments are the Profound Heaven Spirit Artifacts, also known simply as Profound Artifacts.

However, Yang Chen, who had specialized in Alchemy in his previous life and hadn’t engaged in battles, had a very vague concept of the Spirit Weapons’ grades.

But he had a general idea of what grade the Purple Forbidden Soaring Dragon Spear was. Now that Elder Crane had recognized it as a Middle-Level Spirit Weapon, Yang Chen had a certain degree of approval for the other party’s level of expertise.

Elder Crane cleared his throat and hesitated, saying, “Young Sect Master, forgive me for being blunt. This purple spear is in perfect condition and doesn’t require any repairs.”

“Who told you I want to repair it?” Yang Chen responded calmly.

An understanding dawned on Elder Crane, who realized that the matter wouldn’t be so simple: “What does the Young Sect Master mean…?”

Yang Chen took out the short dagger from the Storage Bag and said without hesitation, “Have you seen this short dagger?”

“This is a Lower-Level Spirit Weapon, nothing extraordinary!” Elder Crane replied immediately.

Yang Chen nodded, “I want to replace the spearhead of this spear with this short dagger.”

Elder Crane was stunned for a moment, “Young Master, these two Spirit Weapons both seem to be Innate Spirit Weapons, formed before the heavens. If modified arbitrarily, the Spirit Weapons could be damaged. At that time, Young Master, you… ”

How could Yang Chen not be aware of Elder Crane’s concerns? He had considered everything when bringing out these two items and waved his hand, “Don’t worry, Elder Crane. Just do as I say, and if anything goes wrong, you won’t be held responsible.”

“Then I won’t waste any more time, I’ll start right now, right now…” Elder Crane thought of the large number of Spirit Stones and couldn’t help but feel ecstatic.

Upon hearing Yang Chen saying he wouldn’t be held responsible in case of any mishap, Elder Crane was completely relieved. He quickly exchanged a few words with Yang Chen before rushing into his Artifact Refining Room.

Once inside the Artifact Refining Room, Elder Crane excitedly started working.

Yang Chen waited outside, and after about three double-hours, when it was almost dawn, Elder Crane finally emerged from the Artifact Refining Room in a state of utter exhaustion.

However, upon holding the newly modified Purple Forbidden Soaring Dragon Spear and seeing Yang Chen, Elder Crane’s energy was instantly rekindled.

It was clear to anyone with discerning eyes that Elder Crane had successfully refined the weapon.

Yang Chen naturally noticed as well and subconsciously glanced at the Purple Forbidden Soaring Dragon Spear in Elder Crane’s hand. At first look, he couldn’t help raising his eyebrows.

Compared to its original appearance, the Purple Forbidden Soaring Dragon Spear had undergone significant changes, making it even more imposing. Most importantly, upon looking at the Purple Forbidden Soaring Dragon Spear, Yang Chen felt that its power had undoubtedly become extraordinary!

This made Yang Chen ponder, while Elder Crane hurriedly approached with the good news, saying, “Young Sect Master, this is the newly refined weapon for you, and there’s more good news. Please take a careful look.”

Initially, Yang Chen hadn’t paid much attention, but upon observing the Purple Forbidden Soaring Dragon Spear more closely, he couldn’t help but be astonished.

“Young Sect Master, it’s incredible. At first, I didn’t believe it, but when I swapped the short dagger onto the spearhead and observed the weapon’s aura, I felt the two had become one. With that, the spear instantly became a Supreme-Level Spiritual Instrument.” Elder Crane stroked his beard, an expression of disbelief on his face.

Yang Chen also noticed the change in the aura of the Purple Forbidden Soaring Dragon Spear. It was much stronger than before.

Unbelievable.

Melting a Lower-Level Spirit Weapon with a Middle-Level Spirit Weapon would typically result in the destruction of the Spirit Weapon, with only a slight improvement in power at most. It was the most erroneous method of refining artifacts.

However, when the short dagger was replaced as the spearhead of the Purple Forbidden Soaring Dragon Spear, it magically transformed into a Supreme-Level Spiritual Instrument.

Clearly, they were meant to be together in the first place.

But who had separated them?

Yang Chen was at a loss.

It seemed like there was some significant secret hidden within this Purple Forbidden Soaring Dragon Spear.

“Young Sect Master, are you satisfied?” Elder Crane asked cautiously and expectantly.

Yang Chen knew exactly what Elder Crane was thinking and replied expressionlessly, “Elder Crane, you can safely accept these Spirit Stones. However… ”

Upon hearing that “however,” Elder Crane’s heart leaped into his throat.

Yang Chen grinned, “I don’t like it when a second person knows about today’s matter. Otherwise, not only this bag of Spirit Stones, but also some other things, cannot be guaranteed to remain undamaged and yours, Elder Crane. You should understand what I mean.”

Elder Crane immediately broke out in a cold sweat, as an old Jianghu, how could he not know how significant the matter of the spear was? Supreme-Level Spiritual Instruments were by no means ordinary playthings. He hurriedly replied, “This news will absolutely not be known to a second person! Young Sect Master, rest assured.”
