I Can Infinitely Synthesize Transcendent Genes
Chapter 501: Ruyi Jingu Bang!The black-haired woman’s smile became somewhat forced, “No problem, I can give you a discount if you ask for less.”
After all, she was the first client this week to dare to stay.
Earning less was still earning, nonetheless.
Pei Jinye pulled out several gold bars, “Can they be exchanged for cash?”
The black-haired woman at first was taken aback, then nodded furiously.
“Of course, of course.”
Before long.
The woman’s voice became somewhat shrill.
“It’s too much, too much.”
……
Three minutes later.
Pei Jinye left with the Luminous Stone box in his hand.
The black-haired woman remained in place, her eyes gleaming as she stared at the pile of gold bars in front of her.
“They’re all real, so much gold…”
The Fierce Tiger yawned, finding it dull, but not wanting to provoke a certain Dragon Lady who was in high spirits, he pretended to see nothing and continued to rest on the ground.
…
…
“Master Nan?”
“You got them? So many?” Master Nan was startled, “Seems like there’s more than enough…”
“No problem, just leave the extra here,” Pei Jinye said with a gentle smile.
“This… well, that’s not quite proper,” Master Nan knew well the value of these.
Pei Jinye pushed the box towards him, “Nothing improper about it, the task of the Ruyi Jingu Bang is now in Master Nan’s hands.”
“Rest assured, leave it to me. With the current heat, I estimate about three days or so,” Master Nan said, calculating seriously.
Pei Jinye made an unusual request.
Master Nan thought it was something else, but when he realized Pei Jinye wanted to observe, he was slightly taken aback.
Pei Jinye inquired, “If it involves any secrets or inheritance, Master Nan can refuse, I am merely curious.”
“There’s no secret,” Master Nan said with an honest smile, “The temperature inside is quite high, you can stay a bit further away… And when I swing the Iron Hammer, the noise might be quite loud, don’t let the shock hurt you.”
“All right, Master Nan, just go about your work, don’t mind me,” Pei Jinye assured him.
As Pei Jinye spoke,
The curtain outside the door fluttered.
A figure in a red dress appeared inside, holding a skewer of candied fruit.
The temperature inside the shop suddenly dropped a few degrees.
Master Nan instinctively stepped back.
“What are you doing? Aren’t you going home for dinner?” Red Lotus asked curiously.
“I asked Master Nan to help with Artifact Refining,” Pei Jinye looked over, “How is your injury?”
“I’m already healed,” Red Lotus approached and instinctively offered the candied fruit, “Here, I bought this for you.”
Pei Jinye glanced and declined,
As if understanding the unsaid.
Red Lotus savored a bite gleefully and found a chair to sit down on.
Watching Master Nan’s hesitance and unease.
As Red Lotus leisurely bit into the second candied fruit, her red lips parted lightly, “What are you looking at? I’m getting an artifact refined for my little brother.”
Master Nan didn’t waste any more time and hurried into the Refining Device Room.
Pei Jinye followed him in.
Red Lotus, finding it too noisy, remained seated outside, contentedly enjoying her candied fruit.
The Iron Hammer swung up and came down hard.
Mysterious light reverberated.
Pei Jinye’s Vitality was shocked.
He looked up,
His eyes filled with astonishment.
Was this… a Domain?
A Domain exclusive to Transcendents of the Extraordinary Seventh Rank?
Could it be that everyone living there were remarkable figures?
Red Lotus kept Pei Jinye company for a while, but eventually found it too dull and left a message asking Pei Jinye to remember to come home for dinner.
Pei Jinye acknowledged and continued to watch Master Nan refine artifacts.
Even with his intelligence comparable to a Level 4, he could not fully keep up with Master Nan’s pace.
Time flew by, and more than an hour had passed.
In fact, Master Nan was also surprised.
He had deliberately controlled his strength, yet over the years, very few people could stand so close to him.
Even fewer were of Pei Jinye’s age.
He suddenly became somewhat interested in this young man.
“Can you understand it?”
Master Nan suddenly spoke.
Pei Jinye knew this was not a challenge, and he nodded slightly: “A little bit, but my technique is lacking.”
“No wonder,” Master Nan said no more.
In his heart, he still felt somewhat intrigued.
After refining all the materials according to their proportions, it was time to seal the furnace.
“It needs to be nurtured for twelve hours; let’s go. Come back tomorrow to hammer it a second time, to remove impurities,” Master Nan also expressed some astonishment: “The material of this staff is somewhat unusual. I’ll look it up when I return, as I seem to have seen a description of this kind of material somewhere before. It appears it can be further upgraded… Yes, it should be possible.”
Master Nan was muttering to himself.
Pei Jinye’s interest was piqued.
He had to admit that at first it was indeed the staff’s intriguing name, Ruyi Jingu Bang, that had attracted him.
But now, Master Nan’s skills seemed to be revealing something to him.
“Although it doesn’t compare to the Primitive Era, it’s still pioneering in its own right,” Pei Jinye allowed himself to feel some anticipation.
He was curious whether this Extraordinary Ruyi Jingu Bang could make a fierce name for itself in the realm.
He returned to his separate residence.
Pei Jinye brought along barbecue and invited Master Nan, but the burly man kept waving his hands, as if Red Lotus’s dwelling was off limits, forbidding anyone from seeing or entering.
On the way, he encountered the young man called Xiao Qiu. Xiao Qiu didn’t notice him as he clutched his injured shoulder, swiftly scaled the wall, and slipped into his own room.
“… That’s a rather unusual way to enter,” Pei Jinye retracted his thought of asking him to join for dinner.
Once back in his own room,
Pei Jinye found it odd not to see Red Lotus.
Instead, he found a note on the desk.
[A friend has come visiting. I’ll be away a few days. If needed, find the Master. A message from your brother.]
He felt a sense of strangeness rising in his heart.
Pei Jinye quietly folded the note, “It’s a pity, they’ll all miss out on this late-night feast.”
The old Master arrived with wine, following the smell without any pretense, placing two small wine cups in front of himself and Pei Jinye.
“Fine wine, night sky, and barbecue—it’s rare to be so at ease in life,” the elder said with a chuckle.
Pei Jinye drank with him: “Had I known there’d be wine, I would’ve bought more.”
“No matter, this is enough,” the elder said cheerfully: “Did you visit Master Nan this afternoon?”
“Yes, Master Nan’s craftsmanship is truly brilliant. It was an eye-opening experience,” Pei Jinye was not stingy with his praise.
“Indeed, Master Nan was once unmatched—” the elder suddenly paused: “The past is the past. When there’s a chance, let him tell you himself; I won’t overstep.”
Hearing this, Pei Jinye looked at him while eating skewers, chuckling: “From what you imply, Master, it seems you too must’ve been quite renowned back in the day, no?”
“Ha ha, not at all,” the elder picked up his wine cup: “Just an old fellow with a fondness for a bit of yellow wine, that’s all.”
Pei Jinye didn’t believe him.
But since the elder had said as much, he didn’t inquire further.
Instead, he asked directly: “Shifu, about that God Water you used to heal me earlier—if I may ask, what is it?”
“Sky Blood,” the elder looked at him with no intention of hiding: “It comes from the Fountain of Youth. I only had that one bottle, and there wasn’t much left. After using two drops on you, there’s even less now.”
Seeing the elder’s pained expression, Pei Jinye could only offer an apology: “Where is the Fountain of Youth? I don’t seem to have heard of it before.”
“The Fountain of Youth is on the Other Shore,” the elder said wistfully: “I think you might have heard of it.”
Pei Jinye nodded.
Back in the Western Continent, he had heard that woman and the Old Dragon mention this place.
However, it seemed they were mistaken about the world behind the Flame God’s Coffin. It wasn’t the same Other Shore they yearned for.
But the next second, he looked at the elder in surprise.
“Shifu, have you been to the Other Shore?”
“It was all a fluke. I was unwittingly taken there by someone, and then I came back just as perplexingly,” the elder sighed softly: “Life is like a dream. Sometimes I truly feel that this world’s wonders are endless, and there’s so much we don’t know.”
“What is the Other Shore really like?” Pei Jinye finally asked after a moment of silence.
The elder seemed taken aback.
Stroking the edge of his cup, his gaze held a hint of reminiscence.
“It’s like a marketplace, carefree yet heartless.”
Pei Jinye did not disturb, listening quietly.
The elder himself didn’t know how to get in… Pei Jinye tentatively believed this, because the elder mentioned that the person who had taken him in was still alive.
As for who it was, the elder skirted the question without revealing it.
Suddenly, noise came from outside the door.
Someone was being loud and boisterous.
Pei Jinye looked up.
The elder rose to his feet: “I’ll handle it. It’s not the first time.”
…
Pei Jinye sat alone in front of the window.
Looking up,
in tonight’s moonlight, there was blood.
