CHAPTER 633: CHAPTER 125: WASTE REFORGED

The Treasure Pavilion looked luxurious and extravagant, but its backyard was no different from any ordinary courtyard, and in fact, it looked even more dilapidated.

The so-called storage room was a bungalow similar to a firewood shed, and it was hard to imagine that in a place like the Treasure Pavilion, which was filled with treasures everywhere, such a place would exist.

"With the years of accumulation at the Treasure Pavilion, just the Treasure Pavilion itself is divided into several rooms, according to the rank and appearance of the collected items, into low, mid, high, holy, and even divine grades. But some, due to improper storage and the passage of time, become worn and cannot be presented for sale," Manager Chu explained.

She pushed open the door of one of the bungalows.

Upon opening the door, a musty smell was immediately noticeable, indicating the room hadn’t been opened in a long time.

Yun Sheng looked inside and saw that the room was filled with shelves placed haphazardly.

Each shelf held items that varied greatly.

Manager Chu led Yun Sheng to one of the rooms, which was specifically used to store various old magic artifacts, weapons, armor, and more.

Due to the limited number of Artifact Refining Masters in the Treasure Pavilion, those that looked too old or had high refining difficulty were discarded here.

Over time, more items piled up and even more were left unprocessed.

Like abandoned artifacts, Manager Chu would have a headache every year about how to dispose of these worn weapons and magic artifacts.

"These count as treasures? The Treasure Pavilion doesn’t just take in any junk, does it?" Donghuang Lingling frowned.

Chu Yu also felt somewhat embarrassed.

However, Yun Sheng didn’t say much. She stepped forward and casually picked up a magic wand.

Just like before, Yun Sheng channeled a portion of her Marrow Jade Technique power into the magic wand.

"This magic wand is already ruined; there isn’t a trace of magic elements left in it, it can’t be fixed," Yun Sheng said, immediately picking up a necklace that resembled a storage device.

"Hmm? This necklace is still intact, and moreover, there seems to be something inside. If you find a master capable of removing the Sealing Demon seal, there could be a significant, unexpected fortune," Yun Sheng quickly inspected the items, and in just 15 minutes, she had selected a dozen or so pieces of junk and repairable equipment.

This result sent Manager Chu into fits of joy.

If Manager Chu had any doubts about Yun Sheng’s abilities before, after the affair with the Holy Artifact, she had not a single doubt left.

Donghuang Lingling looked completely puzzled as she also touched and examined the old magic artifacts, muttering to herself, "How come they all look the same to me? Yun Sheng, what kind of vision do you have?"

Yun Sheng just smiled without saying anything.

With Manager Chu’s permission, Yun Sheng could now spend two hours each day renovating various magic artifacts and weapons for the Treasure Pavilion.

To avoid drawing attention, Manager Chu would place the magic artifacts and weapons that needed renovating inside a Storage Ring and deliver them to Yun Sheng’s inn.

Once the repairs were completed, they would be sent back by someone trusted by Manager Chu.

As for the remuneration for renovation, it was calculated based on the value of the items after refurbishing, providing Yun Sheng with about ten percent of the profits after each renovation.

Yun Sheng accepted this arrangement as well, Ten percent of the remuneration wasn’t much.

The magic artifacts and weapons here were mostly low-grade and mid-grade artifacts and weapons. Yun Sheng estimated that ten percent remuneration would amount to no more than a few hundred gold coins at most.

However, the good thing was that there were many artifacts to renew, and the difficulty was much easier compared to that of the Mantis Blade.

In the same two hours, Yun Sheng could renovate dozens of magic artifacts and weapons at least, which meant that she could earn a few thousand gold coins a day, far more profitable than competing in the arena.

But Yun Sheng had no intention of using that money; he handed it all over to Chu Yu.

With Manager Chu stepping in, even that suspicious "Mysterious Stone" was preserved.

Manager Chu even extended the time allowed; as long as Yun Sheng could gather five million gold coins within a year, he could purchase the stone at any time.

After this incident, the relationship between Chu Yu and Yun Sheng grew even closer.

When Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling returned to the inn, Qi and Gu Feng had also come back.

No sooner had they walked in than they heard Gu Feng’s laughter.

"Hahaha, Yun Sheng, Lingling, you’re finally back," Gu Feng had been listless since they arrived at the Arena.

It was because he was a Light Mage, and aside from healing, he had no other special talents.

Although Gu Feng’s current cultivation was that of a Holy Mage, the magic he knew, apart from a Secret Magic that was defensive, was all healing-focused.

So for him to go to the Earth Wing Competition Zone, a place where Holy Mages were as common as stray dogs, there was basically no chance of victory.

That’s what Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling thought, and so did everyone else, including Elder Helian.

Earlier when Yun Sheng encouraged Gu Feng, it was to lift his spirits; who would’ve thought this silly boy would get it into his head to go and compete.

Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling had not previously bothered to ask about Gu Feng’s competitive results.

"Could it be that you won?" Donghuang Lingling asked indifferently upon seeing Gu Feng’s happy demeanor.

"Hehe, I didn’t win, but I drew in one match, and this is my first time not losing!" Gu Feng said somewhat sheepishly, yet with a touch of pride.

"A draw? Could it be you encountered some newly advanced Holy Mage?" Donghuang Lingling wasn’t raining on Gu Feng’s parade; rather, Gu Feng’s true offensive capability was at best comparable to that of a Magic Guide.

Even Donghuang Lingling, when it came to competing with attack magic, would be far superior to Gu Feng.

"This time, Lingling you got it wrong. The one who tied with Gu Feng is an experienced old contestant with an ability around the middle level of Holy Mages," Qi, having finished his matches early today, had gone to watch Gu Feng’s competition.

The capability of that old contestant was strong, and he had previously been a favorite to win.

When Gu Feng talked about going on stage earlier, he was very nervous. As soon as he went up, he activated the Bright Celestial Sphere and maintained a full defensive stance. Inconceivably, the opponent could not find any way to gain the upper hand.

And so, it turned out to be the longest-lasting match ever in the Earth Wing Competition Zone, continuing from morning until afternoon, to the point where several of the scheduled two-player matches had to be temporarily adjusted.

"Don’t tell me that in the end..." Yun Sheng guessed the reason for the draw in this match.

"The opponent ran out of stamina and couldn’t break through Gu Feng’s defense, so the referee had no choice but to declare the match a draw," Qi, usually expressionless, had a hint of an amused smile creeping onto his face as he chuckled softly.

This outcome must have had many spectators in the Earth Wing Competition Zone coughing up blood.

Because Gu Feng had formerly lost every match, the odds for this match were astonishingly high, and many people had placed heavy bets on the old contestant.

No one expected Gu Feng to win in such a bizarre manner.

That’s why Gu Feng was so overjoyed.

With Qi’s smile, his originally calm and cool demeanor like that of fresh bamboo showed a different charm altogether.
