Chapter 671: Why Are You Crying?
Translator: flycrane01 Editor: Millman97
The air in the examination room seemed to have been pumped away . There was nothing but dead silence for ten seconds . Then, the experts of the trade all jumped to their feet .
"Sand Scorpion? The magnate from Iron Plateau?"
"It's true that he has a refining center under his name, but does he really know the arts of refining himself and is so adept at them?"
"Is—is it possible? I'm told that he made a fool of himself this morning by purchasing a worthless crap with a fortune . He was the biggest joke in the auction!"
"I remember that he is not very old . Forty years old, tops . The seven components are crafted skillfully without the least hint of hinderance . It also carries a vintage air with it . Such a young man is definitely not able to do that!"
Hearing the exclamations, Xie Qianhe felt that his head was dizzy, and his ears were humming . He could not help but step back in shock .
He opened his mouth, too, and was about to question Master Huangpu, but he knew deep in his heart that Master Xue would not make such a joke in the work report .
Is Sand Scorpion really an expert of refining who has been hiding himself?
Producing such super components, his skills in refining are really unbelievable . Did he start learning the arts of refining before he was born?
Xie Qianhe could not figure out the reason at all .
He recalled his remark about the guy in front of his daughter . His mouth immediately turned sour, and he was grasped by complicated feelings .
Listening to everyone peacefully, Master Huangpu nodded and said, "To be honest, I found it as hard to believe as every one of you .
"Seeing is believing . It's very simple if we want to know Sand Scorpion's expertise in refining .
"Just now, I made a deal with Sand Scorpion through Old Xue that we will 'barter' tomorrow . "
"What!"
Everybody was greatly surprised . They did not expect that Master Huangpu would propose to communicate with Sand Scorpion despite his fame in the circle of refiners .
'Barter' was also known as an 'exchange of techniques' . It was a very common method of communication among refiners .
The rules for bartering were very simple .
For example, Master Huangpu was quite interested in the techniques through which Li Yao forged the seven core components and wanted to know more about them . But Li Yao would not show the techniques to anybody easily because such precious techniques were priceless . Therefore, if Master Huangpu was really interested in them, he could offer some of his own techniques for Li Yao to decide . The two parties would demonstrate their own techniques, which were mostly of similar value, unreservedly, including every detail, to each other .
This would be a bartering of techniques .
As for how much the other party would be able to grasp, it would all depend on their own understanding .
'Barter' was both communication and competition .
The subtext was:
"Even if I show every move of my technique to you right in front of your face, you won't be able to understand it!
"On the contrary, I will grasp your technique as long as you show it once to me!"
After all, refiners were not combat-type Cultivators who played with blades . Most of them did not have grudges with each other . There was no way that they would engage in a real battle .
Competing with each other by bartering would not only measure the skillfulness of different refiners but also maintain the ostensible peace . Besides, it could also stimulate the development of the arts of refining in general . Therefore, it was quite popular among refiners .
For many refiners, their sole purpose of travelling to Heavenly Saints City after a journey of ten thousand miles was to barter techniques with other experts . Nothing else .
They did not expect that Master Huangpu would propose to barter with a young refiner .
However, on second thought, if the seven core components were indeed refined by Sand Scorpion, the techniques were definitely worth trading with any skill .
Master Huangpu always considered the arts of refining his life . No wonder he would not let go of such an opportunity .
The refiner from the Red Line School hesitated and said, "Master Huangpu, I want to exchange techniques with Sand Scorpion, too . I wonder, will he accept?"
Master Huangpu smiled . "I can ask Old Xue to forward your message . But according to Old Xue, Sand Scorpion is an out-and-out maniac in refining who is interested in every skill . It should not be a problem .
"However, what kind of technique are you going to barter with?
"I proposed to exchange his techniques with my 'Heptahedral Dual Rune Array Structure' .
Everybody gasped again simultaneously .
The Heptahedral Dual Rune Array Structure was Master Huangpu's well-known ultimate skill that could embed two unidentical and different-sized rune arrays together .
Even the simplest rune array groups would have dozens of new variations after employing such a design!
They did not expect that Master Huangpu would be so extravagant as to offer such secret arts .
But in a way, it did make sense . The techniques to forge the seven components were too incredible . The guy would not agree to the barter at all if they were not sophisticated techniques such as the Heptahedral Dual Rune Array Structure, provided he was not an idiot .
Everybody looked at each other in bewilderment .
They were all planning to barter with Sand Scorpion . But now that Master Huangpu had provided such a high-level technique, they would not only be considering Sand Scorpion a moron but also slapping Master Xue's and Master Huangpu's faces if they were to offer some rudimental skills of refining .
