Chapter 190: Chapter 190 Assertion_1

The Refinery Shop has been built, and the Formation has been perfected, they can no longer cause trouble.

When the exterior walls are closed, and the Formation is activated, thinking of sneaking in would be akin to a fool’s dream.

Master Qian glanced at the Refinery Shop again and suddenly asked:

“Family Head, do you know which Formations have been used in this Refinery Shop?”

“Typical construction Formations can’t be separated from the Earth and Wood series, but as for the specific Formations, I’m not a Formation Master, so I’m not clear,” Qian Hong pondered and said.

“Family Head, you’ve encountered this set of Formations before,” Master Qian said with a composed attitude.

Qian Hong thought thoughtfully, then his eyes brightened, “Are you talking about the Formation used at the entrance of the Spiritual mines that day?”

“Exactly!” Master Qian nodded, “Among the First-grade Formation Methods, there is one called the Earth Stone Formation, which can strengthen the soil and stone and resist external enemies. If I’m not mistaken, the walls of the Refinery Shop are fortified with this First-grade Earth Stone Formation.”

Qian Hong frowned and then had a flash of understanding.

Master Qian said, “One Earth Fire Formation, one Earth Stone Formation, previously it was these two Formations, and now it’s still these two Formations. Just as I had anticipated, the Formation Master among the Monster Hunters doesn’t know many Formations, so he can only use these two over and over...”

“This is not his fault,” Master Qian sighed, “First-grade Formations are not easy to learn, and it is quite remarkable that he has mastered these two.”

Qian Hong nodded slightly, Formations are indeed difficult to learn, let alone First-grade Formations which are even more challenging.

Learning Formations is hard, and handling them is even harder.

During the previous battle with the Monster Hunter on the Nameless Peak, these two Formations gave the Qian Family a lot of trouble. If it hadn’t been for these two Formations, their Qian Family wouldn’t have suffered such heavy losses.

Elder Yu, that old rascal, and those Monster Hunters would not have been able to leave with a full load of Spirit Stones and return unscathed.

Every time he thought about this, Qian Hong felt heartache as if being cut by knives.

Master Qian said, “Now that the Refinery Shop is completed, there’s no need to dwell on it any longer, Family Head. You can proceed with the plan.”

Qian Hong nodded, “Elder Yu built the Refinery Shop simply to refine Spiritual Artifacts to compete with our Qian Family business. All we need to do is to take the lead, refine more and better Spiritual Artifacts, lower the selling price, and make it impossible for them to continue their business, and naturally there will be no aftermath...”

“And the key to mass-producing Artifacts is the Refining Furnace,” Qian Hong finished speaking, then asked, “How goes your comprehension of the First-grade Melting Fire Formation used for the Refining Furnaces?”

Master Qian stroked his beard, “These days, I have been diligently studying day and night, and now I have understood most of it. It won’t be long before I can fully master it.”

Qian Hong showed delight and bowed his hands, “You have worked hard, Master!”

Master Qian returned the courtesy, “Since I am a descendant of the Qian Clan and supported by the family, it is my duty to exert all efforts for the Clan. Family Head, you’re too courteous.”

“The skinny one with the dark face from Chen’s Refinery Shop, next to the small pond on South Main Street.”

“Oh.” Elder Yu remembered, “He’s not willing to come either.”

Mo Hua put down the unfinished Melting Fire Formation he was holding and said, “I’ll go have a look.”

“What are you going to look at? Will he listen to you?” Elder Yu was somewhat astounded.

“Not sure, but I’ll try. I’m on fairly good terms with Master Chen,” Mo Hua said.

Elder Yu looked at the teenage boy, half a person tall, that was Mo Hua, and then thought of Master Chen’s stern face and couldn’t fathom what kind of relationship they could have.

“Well, you try it first; I’ll look for some other Artifact Refiners,” Elder Yu said.

“Mm, okay.”

After speaking, Mo Hua went back home, asked his mother for some wine and meat, boxed it up, and put it in his Storage Bag. Then, he headed to Chen’s Refinery Shop and found Master Chen.

Master Chen was leading Dazhu and the rest in the iron forging, with the clanging sounds echoing and sparks flying everywhere.

Mo Hua shouted a couple of times before Master Chen heard him. Master Chen let Dazhu continue on his own, then washed his hands, wiped his sweat, and welcomed Mo Hua into the courtyard.

There were several small stools and tables in the courtyard.

Mo Hua chose a stool to sit on and took out the wine and meat from the Storage Bag.

“This is my treat for everyone!” Mo Hua said.

“How can I accept this...”

Though Master Chen verbally declined, his eyes never left the wine jug.

“Don’t be polite!” Mo Hua said.

Master Chen stopped being coy. After all, he was well-acquainted with Mo Hua, and he didn’t consider him a stranger. So he laughed and said, “Then I won’t be.”

After finishing his words, Master Chen called out to a group of disciples, “Stop what you’re doing, take a break, and come have some food.”

The group of Artifact Refiner disciples were overjoyed at hearing this, and they all put down their work and crowded around.

Ever since Mo Hua entered, and the moment he placed the food box on the table, they had already become distracted from refining.

Artifact Refining was physically demanding, and these young and strong men were also growing, so they got hungry easily.

The business at the Refinery Shop was actually not so good; it was quite an achievement for them to get enough to eat, let alone indulge in delicacies. So when they saw the meat Mo Hua had placed on the table, their eyes shone with eagerness.
