The reason Zhao Hai decided to use this method to send liquid silver to the refining base was because he was deeply wary of the transcending tribulation experts.
Zhao Hai saw the battle between transcending tribulation experts. Although he was confident in his strength, he knew clearly that he couldnât fight against them. Without entering the Space, it would be impossible for him to save his life if he faced them.
Because he dreaded the transcending tribulation experts, Zhao Hai decided that he needed to make advance preparations to deal with the Inferno Valley. He couldnât risk the Space being discovered by other people.
Using this method, Zhao Hai could send liquid silver into the Inferno Valley. This way, the transcending tribulation experts wouldnât detect it.
Zhao Hai followed Xu Jin to his mountain base. Xu Jinâs mountain base wasnât small, it was as big as Phoenix Cry Peak. However, Zhao Hai could see that Xu Jinâs people were a bit worse. There werenât a lot of people who could be considered as strong.
After Xu Jin led Zhao Hai into the mountain base, they immediately went inside a residence. Then Xu Jin turned to Zhao Hai and said, âLittle Wei, this will be your residence from now on. If you need anything, donât hesitate to tell me.â
Zhao Hai looked at the cave residence and could honestly say that it was bigger than Wei Tianchenâs original cave. This was good. It could be said that Xu Jin was truly grateful towards Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, âThank you, Senior Brother. This is a good place. Right, Senior Brother, I have reached a bottleneck in my cultivation. So after going to the Inferno Valley to get my artifact, I will be heading out to gain experience. I hope thatâs alright with you?â
Hearing Zhao Hai, Xu Jin couldnât help but ask, âYouâre leaving so quickly? Alright, wait here for a bit. Iâll go get something.â Zhao Hai nodded. Xu Jin turned around and left.
Zhao Hai looked at Xu Jinâs back and couldnât help but sigh. To be honest, Xu Jin wasnât a hateful person. In order to get his hands on the Ancient Eternal Sand, he went to Zhao Hai personally and even brought Zhao Hai to his mountain base. If it was the real Wei Tianchen, he would definitely agree to Xu Jinâs request. After all, entering a mountain base means that he has a backer. This would be beneficial for his future cultivation.
Unfortunately, Xu Jin was an enemy and he should be treated as an enemy. Even if Zhao Hai appreciated his conduct, he still wouldnât hesitate to deal with him when the time comes.
As Zhao Hai thought of this, Xu Jin returned. He was holding a spatial ring in his hand. Then he gave the ring to Zhao Hai and said, âLittle Wei, take this. See if itâs enough. If itâs not, just tell me. By the way, thereâs also a set of armor inside. It had been refined a few years ago and has been unused. If you donât dislike it, then you can use it.â
Zhao Hai received the spatial ring and then scanned it with his spiritual force. Inside were 30 portions of faith power. There were also plenty of pills inside. Most importantly, there was a set of protective armor.
For inner disciples, 30 portions of faith power was a lot. Even core disciples would see it as generous. In the past, Zhang Feng gave Zhao Hai 100 portions of faith power. However, that was because Zhang Feng knew how important Zhao Hai was. This shows how generous Xu Jin was towards Wei Tianchen.
Moreover, the pills that Xu Jin gave were all high-quality. These pills would be useful for Core Formation experts.
Whatâs even more outstanding was the set of armor. It had a simple appearance. There was no headpiece, only the chest piece, wrist guards, elbow guards, knee guards, and boots. The armor was made of scales. It looks like it wasnât defensive, but Zhao Hai could see that these scales were from a defensively powerful beast. Naturally, he doesnât need to wear it all the time. When he was in danger or was going to a battle, he could take it out and use it.
Xu Jinâs gift was very precious, especially towards a core formation expert. When Zhao Hai received the gift, he made a grateful appearance as he looked at Xu Jin and said, âThank you so much, Senior Brother. But this gift is too precious. I wouldnât dare accept it.â
Xu Jin waved his hand and said, âTake it, this is payment for your material. Alright, take a good rest. If you need anything, donât hesitate to tell me.â Zhao Hai hastily delivered Xu Jin to the exit. Then he went back inside.
To be honest, Zhao Haiâs perception of Xu Jin has improved a lot. Xu Jin was polite and he was even generous. If Zhao Hai was Wei Tianchen, he would definitely be loyal to such a person.
Unfortunately, Zhao Hai wasnât Wei Tianchen. As he sat inside the residence, Zhao Hai threw the spatial ring to the Space for Laura and the others to take care of. Meanwhile, Zhao Hai didnât return and sat cross-legged to cultivate.
Zhao Hai didnât return to the Space because he was afraid that he would be discovered by Xu Jin. Although Xu Jin seemed like an honest person, he was still a cultivator who had ambitions. If he was completely honest, then he wouldnât have become one of the top ten core disciples of the Roaring Flame Sect. Xu Jin should have his own methods. If Xu Jin discovers that Zhao Hai has disappeared from his residence, then it would be troublesome.
While Zhao Hai behaved in his residence and cultivated, the Roaring Flame Sect was shaken. The reason for this was Xu Jin.
Just like what Zhao Hai thought, after obtaining the Ancient Eternal Sand, Xu Jin immediately went to the Inferno Valley. He used the large amount of Ancient Eternal Sand he obtained to have artifacts crafted.
Xu Jinâs actions naturally attracted the attention of the other core disciples. In any sect, there was bound to be competition between fellow disciples. And this time, it seems like Xu Jin has grasped the upper hand.
Later when they discovered that Xu Jin approached Zhao Hai personally and even brought him to his own mountain base, the core disciples couldnât help but call Xu Jin a sly fox. They also sighed at Xu Jinâs vision.
Zhao Haiâs entry into Xu Jinâs mountain base immediately spread throughout the entire Roaring Flame Sect. As for the sect leader, he didnât have any reactions. To be honest, even though Zhao Hai took out a lot of Ancient Eternal Sand, the sect leader was unfazed by it. The Roaring Flame Sect has accumulated riches for many years. Although the Ancient Eternal Sand was a rare refining material, the sect can still find other materials that could match it. As for Zhao Hai entering Xu Jinâs faction, the sect leader similarly didnât care. It was normal for a core disciple who had a mountain base to recruit people, it was not a big deal.
Although Zhao Hai was inside his cave residence all this time, he knew all about what happened in the Roaring Flame Sect. He also didnât care about what happened. In fact, his current identity was still a nobody. If it werenât for the Ancient Eternal sand, Xu Jin and the others wouldnât have given him a glance.
Now whatâs left for Zhao Hai was to wait for his artifact to be finished. Then he could leave the Roaring Flame Sect. Thereâs nothing left in the sect that could attract him.
It must be mentioned that the Roaring Flame Sectâs refining techniques were indeed formidable. Not too long after Zhao Hai entered Xu Jinâs faction, he received notification from the Inferno Valley to go over and claim his artifact.
Zhao Hai immediately went. Although he was now Xu Jinâs subordinate, he was still relatively free. He didnât need to ask Xu Jin for permission whenever he leaves.
Before long, Zhao Hai arrived at the Inferno Valley. Entering the stone building, Zhao Hai was once more inside the large hall. The female cultivator behind the counter remained the same.
Seeing Zhao Hai, the female cultivator immediately stood up and gave a greeting, âI have seen Senior Brother.â
Zhao Hai returned the greeting and said, âJunior Sister is too polite. Iâm here to claim my artifact.â
The female cultivator smiled faintly and said, âSenior Brother, I have it here.â Then she took out a wooden box with a pair of gloves inside.
Zhao Hai inspected the glove. The gloves were made pretty well. It had a shade of yellow on the surface and looked metallic. It wasnât eye-catching and appeared quite low-key.
Zhao Hai took the gloves and felt its texture. The glove was very light. Moreover, although it was made of metal, it didnât have a rigid feeling. Instead, it was unexpectedly soft.
Seeing Zhao Hai inspecting the glove, the female cultivator couldnât help but interject, âSenior Brother, you should go outside and test it out. See if you like how it feels.â
Zhao Hai nodded and expressed his thanks to the female cultivator. Then he went out of the stone building and found a space where he could test the gloves out.
Zhao Hai didnât test the gloves too close to the stone building. He went a distance away before putting his spiritual energy into the glove. When his spiritual qi entered the glove, it emitted a faint layer of light. Because it was a close-combat weapon, Zhao Hai patted a boulder next to him. The boulder was more than five meters high. When Zhao Haiâs hand touched the boulder, it shattered immediately.
This caused Zhao Hai to stare. He didnât expect the gloves to be this powerful. He couldnât help but be more curious about the Roaring Flame Sectâs refining technique.
Zhao Hai took off the gloves and sent it to the Space for Caiâer to analyze. Then he returned to Xu Jinâs mountain base. It was time for him to leave.
