“Quick! Quickly show me this mystical pearl!” said Huo Yutong with a sense of urgency, an almost imperceptible flash of cunning appearing in his pupils.

Xia Fei had very sharp eyes, so this particular detail did not escape his sight. He somewhat uncertainly took out the Heavenly Beast Spirit Pearl, saying, “This is something that I inadvertently came across, so I’ve got no clue whether it’s of high or low quality.”

“High! Absolutely high!” Huo Yutong held the Heavenly Pearl as he kept heaping praises on it. “A pearl of this clarity! Too bad it got harvested a little too early. If given another handful of decades or even a hundred years, it’d definitely have been a perfect specimen!”

Xia Fei pouted and remained silent, snatching back the pearl. He did not have the patience to wait another hundred years for it to become perfect.

Lightly stroking the pearl, Huo Yutong hesitantly asked, “I wonder what the two benefactors have in mind, sending you to me with this pearl?”

Xia Fei suppressed his voice and answered, “A Celestial Zerohammer.”

“What! A Celestial Zerohammer?!” Huo Yutong blurted out..

Xia Fei nodded. “That’s right. I came here this time in hopes that the master here would be kind enough to lend me a hand in constructing the legendary Celestial Zerohammer. This Heavenly Beast Spirit Pearl will be used as the catalyst to forge a divine weapon.”

“Hmm… That’s a little difficult.” Huo Yutong sat up straight. He meaningfully stroked his beard with one hand, while he gripped that Heavenly Beast Spirit Pearl with the other, unwilling to part with it.

“I won’t lie to you; the benefactors helped me get back my life again, so there’s no way I can say no to their request. Unfortunately, this Celestial Zerohammer isn’t just something any artificer can construct. I really don’t have the cultivation to do it,” Huo Yutong said with regret.

Xia Fei had already expected him to decline the request, smiling as he said, “Master, you’re second to none in the entire White Horse Constellation. Since you are unable to construct the Celestial Zerohammer, I’m afraid that there won’t be anyone else who can do so.”

Huo Yutong craftily replied, “That’s not true! Xia Laoshi from your Skywing Clan is also a highly skilled artificer.”

Xia Fei countered, “Xia Laoshi is an energy artificer, not like you. When it comes to pure forgery, you’re naturally the better candidate.

“Besides, from what I know, there isn’t just one type of Celestial Zerohammer. It can be graded as primary, intermediate, advanced, super, and godly. Though you’re unable to forge something at the super or god grade, an advanced Celestial Zerohammer array should be no problem for someone like you.”

What Xia Fei said was true. He had learned about the five grades of the Celestial Zerohammer from the Black and White Gods, and based on their explanation, the array that had forged him his Blood Crystal should be a super grade. The difficulty was horrendously high. Xia Fei was simply very lucky to have come across that ancient array before. Normally, just coming across an advanced grade was rare enough.

Huo Yutong seemed slightly moved, loudly admitting, “That’s true! Xia Laoshi views with disdain and looks down on everyone because of his status as an energy m
