"Hmm...it seems he did this first, then this..."
Ye Buxiu held the clod of earth in his hand, but since he had no spiritual power, the clod of earth did not move at all.
One of the onlookers quietly approached Qian Fei.
"Brother, is this kid out of his mind? Does he really think he can make clay from clods of dirt?"
Qian Fei put the spirit ore in his hand into his storage ring and laughed.
"Hmph, a greenhorn, he'll take the bait if you give him a little provocation, without any regard for the consequences."
"Just wait and see how he makes a fool of himself."
"Why isn't it working?"
Ye Buxiu stared at the clod of earth for a long time without any reaction.
"What went wrong?"
Ye Buxiu thought about it seriously.
He seemed to have just used fire to refine the stones...
Oh, right, Ming Fengyan!
With a wave of his hand, Ye Buxiu summoned the Netherworld Sealing Flame from the space.
Ye Buxiu skillfully ignited the black flames on her body.
Let's give it a try.
Ye Buxiu thought about chopping at the rock.
"Damn, where did this kid get that sword from? And why is it flamey?"
"Is this kid going to use a sword to forge stones?"
Qian Fei watched from the side, several questions popping into his mind.
Ye Buxiu's idea was very simple.
Fire is needed to refine clay, and fire is also needed to refine elixirs. Why can't we use the methods of refining elixirs to refine clay?
Moreover, Ye Buxiu was also aware of the effects of Hellfire.
It can melt things and then automatically glue them together.
He had already grasped this point thoroughly when he was refining elixirs.
That's what we'll do!
Ye Buxiu, wielding the Netherworld Sealing Flame, cleaved the clod of earth in two with a single stroke.
The stones were instantly engulfed by hellfire.
Thanks to Ming Fengyan's efforts, the clod of earth actually began to melt and then coalesce, just as Ye Buxiu had predicted!
"What's going on?"
Qian Fei was dumbfounded.
He just used some tricks to replace the dirt with stone.
How can you turn real clods of earth into ore?
What's more, this was just a clod of dirt I picked up casually!
Qian Fei is now rambling incoherently.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the clod of earth slowly changed color in the black flames, and then a golden object appeared in everyone's sight.
"What is this? Gold?"
Ye Buxiu also expressed doubts about his own possessions.
On the other side, Qiuqiu in Ye Buxiu's space couldn't help but complain.
"This is so fake. You could at least make up some dirt mine or something to fool them."
He hadn't expected Ming Fengyan to be so decisive, taking out a golden spirit ore directly.
"There's nothing I can do about it; this is the cheapest option I have right now."
Ming Fengyan declared himself innocent.
She herself is a divine artifact, so asking her to produce a mortal artifact spirit is just making things difficult for her.
Moreover, even she knew that this clod of earth was nothing special.
You simply can't refine spirit ore or anything like that.
She saw through Qian Fei's little trick at a glance, so she retaliated in kind with an even more sophisticated one.
Qian Fei's eyes were deep and piercing.
"I didn't expect to meet my match."
This little trick of his was just something he used to fool people when he was wandering the world.
I never expected Ye Buxiu to know this little trick. And it's clearly a bit more sophisticated than mine.
Even though he knew it was a trick, he couldn't find a single flaw in it.
"Not bad, kid."
Qian Fei laughed.
Those in the know could see that the two had played some tricks, but since both sides had done so, it was difficult to step in and offend both.
"You've got some skills. I apologize for what I said earlier, but I'm now formally inviting you to join our North-South showdown in two days."
Why would I want to participate in a North-South war? I have no interest in joining in the fun.
Ye Buxiu thought with disdain.
He was merely using Ming Fengyan's magical hellfire abilities to swindle and deceive.
If he really agrees to participate in some major competition, what if the flames malfunction and the society dies?
To be on the safe side, he believes staying at home is the safest option.
Besides, if there's no system assigning him a task, only a fool would do it.
Thinking about the mission, Ye Buxiu was actually looking forward to when the system would announce that the mission was complete.
He already has quite a few exchange points, so he'll use ten points to browse the shops.
However, the system did not make a sound.
"What's going on, system? I've completed the task, you're not going to swallow my exchange points, are you?"
Ye Buxiu felt that the thing he feared most was about to happen.
They immediately protested.
"We can't go back on our word!"
[Please learn how to refine spirit ore before applying to complete this mission. To reiterate: you must successfully refine it yourself!]
Did you manage to refine it yourself?
"Damn it, you're a real dog! Where am I supposed to get spiritual power from that you expect me to refine it myself?"
[You must not use the magical artifact Netherworld Sealing Flame; you can only use fire and rely on your own senses to smelt spirit ores.]
[Reward upgraded: 30 exchange points.]
"Damn it, come here!"
Ye Buxiu's mind went blank when he saw so many exchange points.
He wasn't just having a dialogue with the system in his mind; he was shouting it out excitedly.
Qian Fei smiled slyly, "They've taken the bait."
"Then I will be waiting for your arrival then! Representative of the North."
Qian Fei smiled sinisterly. He'd seen plenty of people like him, thinking they could actually mine minerals just by playing a few tricks.
Judging from how young this child is, his cultivation level probably isn't very high.
