Since that's the case, I won't insist further. However, before the auction ends, if you change your mind, you can still come to find me. But once the auction is over, I won't give you another chance. Remember this well. After Zuo Qinghui finished speaking, he turned and left with his disgruntled disciples from Changchun Temple. As soon as he left, Luo Xing'er grabbed Yuan Ming's arm and pouted, "Senior, Changchun Temple is really overbearing. Will they target you?" "No!" Yuan Ming shook his head with a smile, "Don't worry. As long as I stay within Xiaohu City, what can they do to me?"

"They just want to use me to capture Pu Zhengqing, especially since I survived a fight with him." "You're right, but publicly refusing an elder from Changchun Temple has cost them face, and there will be trouble eventually." Hearing this voice, Luo Xing'er turned around joyfully, "Grandmaster Song." Yuan Ming looked up and saw a young female cultivator dressed in a plain long skirt with a hairpin, beautiful as jade and fragrant as flowers. Despite her simple attire, she radiated an undeniable brilliance. Luo Xing'er's call of 'Grandmaster' reminded Yuan Ming of her identity; she was his grandmother's master, Elder Song Huitong of Shengye Sect, who was actually at least two to three hundred years old but somehow maintained her youthful appearance.

Yuan Ming immediately greeted her with a bow, and Song Huitong waved her hand, asking, "I've heard from Fen Yun that you're a decisive person. Now that you've refused Brother Zuo, you must have your plans, right? You saved Xing'er and have a deep connection with Fen Yun. It's only right that we help you. If there's anything you need, feel free to tell me." "Thank you for your kind offer, Elder. I do have a favor to ask. In my last fight with Pu Zhengqing, my magical artifact was nearly depleted. I'm looking to replace it. Do you know any artifact refiners who can upgrade top-grade magical artifacts to supreme-grade? Could you recommend one to me?" Yuan Ming didn't hesitate to ask directly.

Song Huitong pondered for a moment and nodded, "This matter is neither difficult nor easy. The person I know is quite peculiar. Even with a recommendation, whether they'll refine for you depends on your own persuasion." "If Elder can make the recommendation, I would be eternally grateful, successful or not," Yuan Ming said earnestly. After speaking with Yuan Ming, Song Huitong left alone, and Yuan Ming wandered around the Shengye Sect's booth for a while before leaving. Besides Shengye Sect, there were many other booths from sects Yuan Ming had never heard of, and he was greatly enlightened. Passing by a booth decorated with a blazing phoenix, Yuan Ming encountered two cultivators he had met once before.
