Now, Ye Tianxiang's level of refining magical artifacts is at the level of being able to only refine first-level low-grade magical artifacts.

Therefore, even if he wanted to refine a casting furnace by himself, he could only refine a first-class low-grade casting furnace.

However, Ye Tianxiang was not worried about this, because he had obtained the secret refining technique from the God of Miaoshou that could once again improve the level of refining skills by adding high-level refining materials.

Since the casting materials for first-level and second-level artifacts are more common, Ye Tianxiang just wandered around the market for more than three hours and bought all the materials for refining the first-level treasure furnace, which cost him a total of more than 3,000 crystal coins.

After purchasing the materials he wanted, Ye Tianxiang did not rush to leave, but instead found a shop selling divine power stones and walked in.

Generally speaking, people who come and go to shops selling divine power stones and high-level materials are all magicians or artifact casters.

Therefore, at this moment, when the owner of the shop saw Ye Tianxiang coming in, he greeted him with a smile, regardless of whether he was a magician or not: "This little brother, welcome to our store. I hope you can buy the treasure you like in our store as you wish."

"Yeah!" Ye Tianxiang smiled, without saying much, and walked around the store casually, without even taking a fancy to the treasure he thought was worth buying. Then he said to the owner of the store: "Give me five hundred divine power stones."

"Well? Five hundred divine power stones? I'm sure I heard it right?"

Under normal circumstances, only the artifact founder will purchase a large number of divine power stones to supplement their divine power and use them to refine divine weapons.

The magician will only purchase the magical power stone as a supplement before fighting with people, or performing dangerous tasks, or exploring.

Therefore, when the shop owner heard Ye Tianxiang's words and saw that he was just a twelve or twelve-year-old boy, the shop owner was a little surprised.

"Yes, that's right, I want five hundred divine power stones. However, I don't have any extra crystal coins for the time being. I don't know if it's feasible to get a first-level medium-grade divine weapon to pay the bill." Ye Tianxiang smiled.

"It's no problem to pay the first-level medium-grade artifact, but I can't pay the bill at the price I sell. One level-level medium-grade scepter and six hundred crystal coins, what do you think?"

"You sell one thousand, but you only pay six hundred, which is too little!"

"Hey... you don't know anything! The first-class artifact used to be worth only 1,000, but now it has increased for some reason. Although the price has increased, the money we earned is slightly less than before." The store owner stretched out his head in embarrassment and whispered this in Ye Tianxiang's ear.

"This price increase incident is related to the three major chambers of commerce?"

"If we want to put it aside, the three chambers of commerce did not have the courage to do this. Recently, there are rumors that the controller of Tianbao Star was killed by powerful masters from other worlds while exploring in the world outside the domain. This led to Tianbao Star, with no leader. The eighteen great city lords under the controller of Tianbao Star, were of equal strength and no one obeyed each other. This led to the situation where the entire Tianbao Star became a cemetery and the city was king."

"So, the fact that these three chambers of commerce intend to monopolize the artifact casting industry with iron-blooded means is actually related to the city lord of Ning'an City?"

"This is just a speculation from everyone, and only the three major chambers of commerce and the city lord know about it."

"Oh." Ye Tianxiang said with a smile: "Okay, as you said, you can pay the bill at a price of 600 crystal coins."

While agreeing to the store owner to give the price, Ye Tianxiang reached out from the storage bag and took out a total of 100 items such as first-class middle-grade scepter, bracelet, armor, ring, necklace, gloves, shoes, etc. from the storage bag and placed it on the counter.

"Ah? Do you have so many first-level medium-grade artifacts?" The shop owner looked at Ye Tianxiang in surprise. After looking at him for a while, he took the items that Ye Tianxiang placed on the counter and put them into the warehouse. Then he took out the six hundred divine power stones worth the same value as the artifact that Ye Tianxiang paid for him, and gave them to Ye Tianxiang.

When Ye Tianxiang was trading with the store owner, he was sent by "Yongxingtang" to wander around the market and supervised whether there were slaves who had signed cooperation agreements with "Yongxingtang" and could see whether there were slaves who executed the contract.

After Ye Tianxiang left the shop, the slave did not rush to follow, but used secret means to notify another slave under his command, and ordered them to secretly stare at Ye Tianxiang's every move, and he quickly returned to "Yongxingtang".

This Murong family slave who is responsible for supervising the market is named Fang Chuji.

The chief manager of Ning'an City "Yongxingtang" is named Nie Zhonghai.

Fang Chuji returned to "Yongxing Hall". When he met Nie Zhonghai, Nie Zhonghai was discussing matters with a guard from the visiting city lord's mansion.

Fang Chuji did not dare to disturb the conversation between the Chief Executive and the people in the City Lord's Mansion, so he had to wait patiently at the door.

Fang Chuji didn't wait long, and after seeing the Grand Chief Executive sending the people from the City Lord's Mansion, he hurried into the house and reported to Nie Zhonghai: "Master, when the villain was patrolling the market, he accidentally saw a young man who took more than 100 first-grade artifacts and exchanged them for more than 600 divine stones from a boss who sold divine stone shop. I suspect that the more than 100 first-level artifacts that the kid used as mortgage is the batch of divine artifacts that my "Yongxingtang" casting workshop was stolen by a thief a few months ago. Then he hurried back and report to you.

"Are you sure that those more than 100 magical artifacts are all from my 'Yongxingtang' casting workshop?" Nie Zhonghai asked in confusion.

Because he didn't believe it at all, the thief was so bold that he stole the items from "Yongxingtang" a few months ago. After these few months, he sold the items in the same city.

"This villain is not sure."

"I can't be sure, so why don't you go back quickly. After you have confirmed it, report to our supervisor?" As soon as he heard Fang Chuji's words "I'm not sure", an angry light burst out in Nie Zhonghai's eyes.

The reason why he got angry was not entirely because Fang Chuji was not good at doing things well, but also because in the "Yongxingtang" he was in charge of, in the casting workshop of Ning'an City, the magical artifact was stolen, which made him feel dull.

"Yes, yes, sir, sir, go and confirm this matter now." When he saw Nie Zhonghai getting angry, Fang Chuji, who originally thought he could get the reward, knew that Nie Zhonghai was in a bad mood at the moment and was worried that he would not have any good results if he offended him. He hurriedly quit the house with his tail squatting and headed straight to the trading market.

On the way to the trading market, Fang Chuji received a secret report from two subordinates who were following Ye Tianxiang. After learning that Ye Tianxiang was now living in a small hotel, he concluded that Ye Tianxiang must be a little person without any backstage.

So, this Fang Chuji was immediately overjoyed. A vicious plan was brewing in his mind, "If this plan could be implemented smoothly, I would have made great contributions. The rewards given to me by the chief executive will definitely not be less."

Fang Chuji replied to the letter and asked the two to continue to keep a close eye on Ye Tianxiang, and he rushed to Ye Tianxiang to get the magical artifact and exchanged it for the magical power stone shop, and then directly revealed his identity, "I am Fang Chuji, the general manager sent by the shopkeeper of the 'Yongxingtang' to supervise the market."

"Hello, Lord Fang, I don't know what's wrong with you looking for a villain?" When he heard that the person came was from "Yongxingtang", the store owner was so scared that his legs were trembling, afraid that he would say the wrong thing, which made the "uncle" angry and caused trouble for himself.

While talking, he hurriedly ordered the shopkeeper to bring Fang Chuji a cup of hot tea.

Fang Chuji acted like a "uncle", held a teacup, tasted it carefully, and then said to the shop owner: "Your shop sells goods from the "Yongxingtang" casting workshop, right?"

"Oh, Lord Huifang, I sell more goods and have a lot of brands in my shop, but the main goods are still from the 'Yongxingtang Foundry'."

"Yes." Fang Chuji nodded, took another sip of tea, and then continued: "You have a hundred first-level artifacts in your current inventory, right?"

"Yes, yes." The store owner didn't know what the Murong slave who was supervising the market was making, but he didn't dare to hide it and had to answer truthfully.

"Okay, okay, very good. Now you can get me one hundred first-level artifact equipment and follow me to Master Nie to give a certificate."

"What certificate should I do?"

"How can you talk so much nonsense? Doing what I said will benefit you. Otherwise, you will be asked to land."

"Okay, okay, the villain will do it now." Hearing Fang Chuji's threatening words, the store owner realized that the situation was not good and was already in a disaster, but he did not dare to offend the "uncle". He had to go into the warehouse and ordered a friend to pack a hundred first-level artifact equipment into the storage bag, and then followed the Feng Chuji to the "Yongxingtang" main hall in Ning'an City.

As usual, a small shop owner didn’t even have the chance to meet the manager of "Yongxingtang".

At this moment, the shop owner followed Fang Chuji and saw Nie Zhonghai, he was so scared that he was shaking like a sieve, his whole body was trembling.

"Master Manager, the villain has brought back the witness, and what he is holding is physical evidence." Fang Chuji did not give the store owner a chance to speak. He snatched the storage bag from the store owner and handed it to Nie Zhonghai, and then said to the store owner: "Hurry tell the store owner that this batch of first-level artifacts was purchased by you from a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy. If you dare to talk casually, be careful that I tear your mouth apart."
