Chapter 40 Many hands make light work
In addition, the white jade flying sword is one of the magical artifacts that Huang Che and his wife are most skilled at crafting.
Therefore, the couple mastered the method of repairing the magical artifact.
The flying sword artifact is alright overall.
However, its blade was covered with cracks, and its power was only 70% of what it was at its peak, making it much weaker than ordinary magical weapons.
However, there is still a chance to reverse this situation. As long as it is rebuilt, it can be fully restored to its former glory.
Secondly, the cost of reforging is much cheaper than the cost of buying a brand new ritual implement.
Therefore, the master of the flying sword sent it here for reforging.
"Repairing magical artifacts? This is a good opportunity to make a profit."
Ye Xuan'an was pleasantly surprised by this.
In addition, although he had been refining weapons at the Dongyang weapon-refining shop for a long time, the repair of magical artifacts was more profitable and was the core business of the shop.
He had never been in contact with this before.
However, he did have some understanding of this, as the spiritual materials for repairing magical artifacts were not scarce.
It is even one or two times easier than directly refining magical artifacts.
If it were handed over to Huang Che and his wife for recasting, it would be very difficult to fail.
Moreover, it takes very little time, at most only half an hour.
Therefore, the cost of reforging that flying sword would only be two or three spirit stones at most.
The profit is seven spirit stones, which is more than the profit from selling a flying sword directly.
"The bulk of the profits from repairing magical artifacts still comes from this business."
Ye Xuan'an couldn't help but sigh.
He then took the flying sword artifact, gave a few instructions to the shopkeeper Bai Wei, and went to a quiet room in the backyard of Xiu Che's weapon-refining shop.
Immediately afterwards, he handed the flying sword, along with some spiritual materials for reforging it, to Huang Che and his wife inside the servant tower, and instructed them to complete the task as soon as possible.
Because Huang Che and his wife took this matter very seriously, and because they were skilled in weapon crafting, they completed the task in just half a day.
Ye Xuan'an then handed it over to the old shopkeeper Baiwei and the servant, and notified the master of the flying sword, successfully obtaining ten spirit stones.
"It feels great to have someone help you earn money."
Ye Xuan'an looked at the ten spirit stones that Huang Che and his wife had helped him earn, his face full of joy.
……
night.
Waiting for the shop to close.
After the old shopkeeper Bai Wei and the servant left the shop, Ye Xuan'an removed his disguise and returned to the Dongyang weapon-refining shop.
now.
Inside the Dongyang Refining Shop.
"Young friend Xuan'an, you're finally back."
"By the way, how did your trip go? Did you manage to kill Huang Che's Daoist partner, Zhao Xiu?"
"During the daytime, we saw Huang Che return to his shop, but his Daoist partner did not appear..."
Qiu Yang, Li Dong, Zhang Fu, and others breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Ye Xuan'an return and asked him curiously.
In addition, they had some suspicions about Ye Xuan'an's previous trip, so they had been keeping a close eye on Xiu Che's weapon-refining shop recently.
During the daytime, they witnessed Ye Xuan'an, disguised as Huang Che, returning to the shop.
That's why they asked that question.
"I never expected that Brother Zhang and the others would guess the purpose of my previous trip, and half of their guesses were actually correct..."
Ye Xuan'an couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Then, to avoid the spread of his previous affair with Huang Che and his wife and bring trouble upon himself, he simply said...
"You must have misunderstood. I really did go out to search for spiritual objects. As for whether Huang Che's partner is dead or not, I really don't know."
"Ah? Young friend Xuan'an, you shouldn't keep this from us anymore."
Qiu Yang and the others said with a smile.
"Really not."
Ye Xuan'an shook his head.
After offering a few more explanations, he hurriedly said goodbye and returned to the shop's quiet room to refine artifacts and earn spirit stones.
"Really not? Were we just disappointed?"
Qiu Yang and the others were extremely puzzled by this, and at the same time, they felt a little regretful.
……
In the blink of an eye.
Twenty-five days have passed.
This day.
The servant is inside the tower.
"Young Master, we have used the spiritual materials you provided to refine numerous magical artifacts."
"You may take a look at one or two..."
After handing over all the magical artifacts that Huang Che and his wife had recently crafted to Ye Xuan'an, they smiled and said...
"Did you get this done so quickly?"
Ye Xuan'an was somewhat surprised to see this.
After all, according to his expectations, it would be quite good if Huang Che and his wife could complete this matter within a month.
Unexpectedly, they arrived five days ahead of schedule, which shows how hard they have been working recently.
In addition, their success rate in refining weapons this time was particularly good, reaching 65%.
In total, dozens of magical artifacts were crafted, as well as a considerable number of high-quality first-tier low-grade magical artifacts.
If you sell it, even disregarding the cost of the spiritual materials, you can earn at least three hundred spirit stones.
And such returns are particularly good.
After all, even if Ye Xuan'an's weapon crafting skills were much better than theirs, he also possessed expertise in formations.
At most, one can only earn about two hundred spirit stones a month.
"Moreover, Huang Che and his wife are, after all, my prisoners, and the spirit stones they earned will also fall into my hands."
"This will be quite beneficial for me in storing spirit stones, preparing to bid on items like the Illusionary Spirit Pill during the auction three months later."
Ye Xuan'an was secretly overjoyed.
Even the profits from hunting demons by Yi Kui and his group were quite good.
Together with Kui Yi and the Huang couple, he could earn nearly six hundred spirit stones a month.
In two months, that amounted to nearly two thousand spirit stones.
"In that case, I should be able to accumulate enough spirit stones before the auction."
"Furthermore, with more people, profits can be made faster."
Ye Xuan'an was overjoyed and somewhat relieved that he had spared Huang Che and his wife.
In addition, Huang Che and his wife have been honest and hardworking lately.
Therefore, he planned to improve the treatment of Huang Che and his wife, but not with spirit stones.
Instead, every three days they would be given a delicious dish made from monster meat and spirit rice.
As for their daily meals, they eat ordinary dishes, which are not only mediocre in taste but also in small quantities, barely enough to fill their stomachs.
That is why they were overjoyed when they learned that they could eat delicious food and spirit rice.
"Although eating only once every three days is a bit little, being able to eat at all is a blessing."
"After all, Brother Zhongyan... will never be able to eat it again."
Mr. and Mrs. Huang sighed slightly at this.
Afterwards, Ye Xuan'an chatted with them for a few more minutes before leaving the Servant Tower.
He then put all the magical artifacts that Huang Che and his wife had crafted, as well as some magical artifacts that he had recently crafted himself, into Xiu Che's weapon crafting shop for sale.
In addition, when he was crafting those magical artifacts, he deliberately modified the crafting method to prevent other artifact crafters from recognizing that the artifacts were made by him.
He is still working for the Dongyang Weapon Refining Shop, and if this matter gets out, it could easily cause some trouble.
Secondly, the magical artifacts he and Huang Che made were quite good.
Among them were even quite a few high-quality Tier 1 low-grade magic artifacts.
Therefore, Xiuche's weapon-refining shop received more customers than before, even surpassing Dongyang's weapon-refining shop.
Each month, they can sell a lot of religious items and even take on some jobs repairing second-hand religious items.
This also allowed Ye Xuan'an to earn a considerable amount of spirit stones.
In addition, he also obtained a large number of refining materials through the reliable demon-hunting teams that Huang Che and his wife knew.
He then gave most of it to Huang Che and his wife, allowing them to continue refining weapons.
Ye Xuan'an was not idle either. He kept buying spiritual materials from Dongyang Refining Shop at low prices and refining weapons and arrays for them. In his spare time, he would refine spiritual items himself and sell them at Xiu Che Refining Shop.
They also purchased resources for their own cultivation and for the cultivation of Kui Yi and others.
