Dao Nan continued, "Even worldly businessmen know that you have to put in the effort to reap the rewards. Times have changed. Put away your old-fashioned aloofness. We have no obligation to work for you for free."

Mei Moke angrily exclaimed, "Of all evils, lust is the worst!"

Li Si turned his head and looked at He Lili. He Lili shook her head.

This means that even though he was provoked to this extent, Mei Moke still did not harbor any aggressive malice towards them.

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Chen Jing quickly interrupted, "Mr. Mei, we are indeed lacking in power. Could you help us appraise the spiritual artifact we obtained? Consider it an advance payment from you."

"Okay," Mei Moke said, sounding slightly agitated. "Hurry up."

Chen Jing looked at Li Si and, seeing that the other party did not object, took out the various items that appeared to be spiritual artifacts that he had collected.

First, there were two items produced by the workshop: a silver rifle that Li Ai found utterly repulsive, and a piece of lightweight silver armor.

"This is the standard equipment of the workshop hunters. Hmph, of course it is the standard equipment of cultivators. If you infuse spiritual power into it when firing, this rifle will have additional lethality against half-demons and cultivators of the Qi of Words. But you still need to make sure it can fire, that the structure is intact, and that you need bullets."

"Its core is a battle aura at the Body Realm level. As long as you inject spiritual power, your accuracy and proficiency in using it will improve, just like you are a sharpshooter who is good at shooting."

"As for this armor, it has a Heavenly Qi spiritual energy at the Body Realm level as its core. When infused with spiritual power, it can quickly create a thin mist. Although the user will also be affected by the mist, it can obstruct the enemy's vision."

This... is somewhat similar to the ability of the Mist Monster. Chen Jing muttered to himself.

Li Si asked, "Do they have any side effects?"

“No,” Mei Moke said. “At least I didn’t notice it before. These are all spiritual artifacts at the Body Realm level. The spiritual imprints in their spiritual energy have been completely removed, so there won’t be any major side effects.”

There might be smaller ones, and you don't even know it yet... Chen Jing thought to himself.

He watched as Li Si also took out the spiritual artifacts that she had temporarily stored with him, and the others also took out the spiritual artifacts they had brought from this ruin, and had Mei Moke appraise them one by one.
