This dignified late-stage Fifth Grade Earth Immortal had a complex expression, a mix of surprise, confusion, and joy. After carefully scrutinizing Lin Xuankong several times, he spoke excitedly, "Mr. Mu, you just said you can refine Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts. Is this true? What's your success rate? If you have enough materials, can you succeed once in a hundred tries, or once in eighty?"

At this point, the respected Sect Leader Li of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, who had been calling Lin Xuankong "Fellow Daoist Mu," now addressed him as "Mr. Mu." This shift in address clearly indicated the change in his mindset! Sect Leader Li was very clear: if what this Fellow Daoist Mu before him said was true—that he could indeed refine Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts—then Fellow Daoist Mu's status in the entire Central Divine Dynasty Western Region would instantly soar!

As for Sect Leader Li's mention of succeeding once in a hundred or eighty tries with enough materials, this was understandable. Even the high-status Artifact Refining Masters he had encountered, those capable of refining Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts, often succeeded only once after many attempts—sometimes as many as one or two hundred. After all, if those Artifact Refining Masters who refined Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts had high success rates, the Central Divine Dynasty would already be flooded with Immortal Artifacts. Most Immortals wouldn't still be primarily using Magical Artifacts, as they were now.

However, Lin Xuankong was unaware of these facts. His artifact refining skills were inherited from the peerless Artifact Refining Genius Xiao Xiuyi—one who possessed thirty times the normal comprehension talent. Therefore, in Lin Xuankong's view, even refining Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts should have a one hundred percent success rate!

So, upon hearing Sect Leader Li of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect's words, the initially confident Lin Xuankong couldn't help but falter, a look of confusion appearing in his eyes.

Sect Leader Li, seeing Lin Xuankong's reaction, quickly waved his hand. "Ah, it's my fault for speaking so directly! Actually, the success rate doesn't matter much. Even if it takes two hundred sets of materials to refine one Initial Tier Immortal Artifact, that would still qualify one as a true Artifact Refining Master!"

Beside him, Spiritual Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'Er smiled and said, "As far as I know, the Artifact Refining Master named Wan Rongqian in the Central Divine Dynasty Eastern Domain can achieve a one percent success rate in refining Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts.

"With this success rate, even though Master Wan is only a Mid-grade Second-Grade Earth Immortal, his status is comparable to that of top Seventh-Grade and Eighth-Grade Earth Immortals. In fact, some powerful Seventh and Eighth-Grade Earth Immortals address him as 'Master' with deep respect!

"But the reason Master Wan has such a high refining success rate is mainly because he has been refining artifacts for thousands of years. This Fellow Daoist Mu is so young, at most seventy or eighty years old. It's unlikely his success rate for refining Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts would be higher than Master Wan's. A success rate of one in three hundred would already be astonishing!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuankong was dumbfounded. What kind of nonsense is a one percent success rate? he thought. Master Wan averages one hundred sets of materials to refine a single Initial Tier Immortal Artifact? The Artifact Refining Genius Miss Xiao had an absolute one hundred percent success rate refining Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts! Is the gap between people really this huge? This is probably wider than the gap between humans and dogs! However, remembering that Miss Xiao Xiuyi could develop Magical Artifacts on her own, then High-Tier Spiritual Artifacts, and later Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts and Growth-type Immortal Artifacts, Lin Xuankong found it understandable. There's certainly a huge difference between geniuses and ordinary people. It's just like how Young Lady Lii Xiaolan's Primordial Strange Vein allows her to cultivate the Shadow Concealment Primordial Technique, while others without this talent wouldn't be able to succeed no matter how hard they tried!

The surrounding Earth Immortals, seeing Lin Xuankong's dumbfounded expression, immediately misunderstood him.

Among them, a Third-Grade Earth Immortal from the Beimang Immortal Sect suddenly burst into loud laughter. He waved his hand at Sect Leader Li of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, then looked at Lin Xuankong and spoke heroically, "Mr. Mu, if you can really refine Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts, never mind one or two hundred sets of materials! As long as you can refine one, I'm willing to prepare four hundred sets, and the remuneration is yours to name—as long as I can afford it!"

This Third-Grade Earth Immortal from the Beimang Immortal Sect was evidently trying to strike a deal before anyone else.

Upon hearing this, Guo Haishan, a Third-Grade Earth Immortal from the Western Nether Immortal Sect, also spoke with anticipation, "I once requested Immortal Master Wan in the Central Divine Dynasty Eastern Domain to refine an Initial Tier Immortal Artifact for me. Unfortunately, the queue alone took a thousand years... There are just too many Earth Immortals requesting Immortal Master Wan to refine Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts! And often, powerful Seventh and Eighth-Grade Earth Immortals would cut in line. It was quite troublesome, to say the least!

"Immortal Master Wan's fee for refining an Initial Tier Immortal Artifact is four hundred sets of materials! Mr. Mu, if you can help me refine an Initial Tier Immortal Artifact, I can offer eight hundred sets of materials! My only condition is that you refine an Initial Tier Immortal Artifact for me first!"

Lin Xuankong's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.

Good heavens! As expected of a Third-Grade Earth Immortal Vice Sect Leader of an Immortal Sect! To offer eight hundred sets of materials in one go! A while ago, I painstakingly collected just over a hundred sets of materials for refining Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts! If I got my hands on eight hundred sets... Hmm... could I refine eight hundred Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts? Or perhaps a few Third-Grade Immortal Artifacts?
