Chapter 1953: A Deal with Lu Qingyue
"Kid, you wouldn’t be thinking of pursuing Sister Lu, would you? You should know your own weight and capabilities; with your level of skill, you’re not even worthy to carry her shoes." The crocodile-headed creature sneered disdainfully.
Clearly, he thought Xu Nian was chasing after Lu Qingyue because of her beauty.
In his view, Xu Nian was like a toad wanting to eat swan meat.
Xu Nian ignored the crocodile-headed creature and instead turned to look at Lu Qingyue.
The latter, seeing this, turned to the crocodile-headed creature and said, "You all go back first, I’ll catch up later."
"Alright, be careful." Seeing this, the crocodile-headed creature didn’t insist and led the Early Level of God expert toward Ice Snow Mountain.
"Brother Song, you should also head back first," Xu Nian said to Song Ren and the rest.
"Alright!" Song Ren glanced at Xu Nian and then at Lu Qingyue before responding.
Then he left with Fang Yu.
For a moment, only Xu Nian and Lu Qingyue were left in the sky above the mountain range.
"What do you want to say?" Lu Qingyue asked Xu Nian, her expression particularly cold.
"I don’t mean anything else. I want to ask Lu Divine for something—Red Moon Snow Gold. If Lu Divine is willing to give it, I am willing to exchange it with something of equal value," Xu Nian said.
"Red Moon Snow Gold?" Lu Qingyue was somewhat surprised.
Didn’t expect Xu Nian to catch up to her for this item.
"Yes, this item is very important to me. I ask Lu Divine to part with it," Xu Nian said hastily.
"If it’s for this item, you’d better find someone else. This item is very important to me too," Lu Qingyue shook her head.
Clearly unwilling to hand it over.
Xu Nian, hearing this, breathed a slight sigh of relief.
From these words, it seemed the item was still in Lu Qingyue’s possession.
With this, there was a glimmer of hope.
"Lu Divine, don’t be in such a hurry to refuse. I’m willing to exchange things exceeding the value of this item. If I’m not mistaken, Lu Divine wants Red Moon Snow Gold to craft a Daluo God-level weapon, right? To be honest, I am a Divine Craftsman myself. Although I can only craft Mid-grade Heavenly Divine Artifacts, if you give me some time, I can make a Luo God Artifact suitable for you, and I’ll supply the materials myself," Xu Nian said.
"You’re a Divine Craftsman?" Lu Qingyue was a bit surprised.
In the Divine World, Divine Craftsmen hold a very high status, and they are particularly rare.
Especially those capable of crafting Heavenly Divine Artifacts; their status definitely surpasses that of gods.
And those who can craft Daluo God Artifacts are even more supremely esteemed, likely receiving top treatment even in Tianyu Mountain.
"Yes, I am a Divine Craftsman. These are all Heavenly Divine Artifacts crafted by me." Xu Nian waved his hand, and over ten Mid-grade Heavenly Divine Artifacts appeared before Lu Qingyue.
Lu Qingyue looked surprised.
So many Mid-grade Heavenly Divine Artifacts?
The Heavenly Divine Artifacts she possessed were only Mid-grade, not even Top Grade, and required a significant cost to obtain.
Never expected Xu Nian to bring out so many Mid-grade Heavenly Divine Artifacts at once.
If Xu Nian weren’t a Divine Craftsman, she would hardly believe a person could offer so many Heavenly Divine Artifacts.
What’s crucial is that these artifacts were perfectly suitable for her, all with Ice Attributes.
Actually, Xu Nian didn’t specially craft these for Lu Qingyue; he could only produce Ice Attribute Heavenly Divine Artifacts because he possessed only Ice Attribute God Power.
"I can give all these Heavenly Divine Artifacts to you, Lu Divine, as a deposit. When I’m able to craft Luo God Artifacts, I will certainly make a Daluo God Artifact suitable for you, Lu Divine. You must know the cost of hiring a Daluo God Craftsman," Xu Nian said.
"Gift them to me?" Lu Qingyue was shocked.
"Yes, consider it a gesture of sincerity from me," Xu Nian said.
Upon hearing this, Lu Qingyue showed a pensive look.
Xu Nian didn’t interrupt, instead quietly waiting.
The conditions he offered were quite generous.
"Trading one Red Moon Snow Gold for one Luo God Artifact, plus so many Mid-grade Heavenly Divine Artifacts, seems like too good a deal. In fact, I didn’t intend to craft a Daluo God Artifact; I just wanted to craft a Top Grade Heavenly Divine Artifact. I can give you Red Moon Snow Gold, and you just need to craft a Top Grade Heavenly Divine Artifact for me," Lu Qingyue said to Xu Nian.
"A Top Grade Heavenly Divine Artifact? Sure, I can definitely offer the God Sword during the Tianyu Mountain assessment," Xu Nian said.
"During the Tianyu Mountain assessment? Isn’t that still eighty years away?" Lu Qingyue echoed in surprise.
Understandably, the advancement of a Divine Craftsman is more challenging than Insight Cultivation, demanding significant experience accumulation.
And this accumulation naturally consumes a lot of time.
Xu Nian can presently craft only Mid-grade Heavenly Divine Artifacts; improving to Top Grade in eighty years seems nearly impossible.
"Eighty years is plenty," Xu Nian said confidently.
For him, eighty years equates to eighty thousand years.
If he can’t elevate to the Top Grade Heavenly Divine Artifact level in eighty thousand years, he might as well end it all.
"Alright, since you’re so confident, I’ll agree to the deal. I hope you can craft a Top Grade Heavenly Divine Artifact suited for me. Here’s the Red Moon Snow Gold you wanted," Lu Qingyue said.
Then with a wave of her hand, a palm-sized white metal ore appeared before Xu Nian.
Xu Nian was taken aback.
Didn’t expect Lu Qingyue to agree so readily.
Originally, he imagined she might agree to hand over the Red Moon Snow Gold during the Tianyu Mountain assessment, a deal he’d also accept.
Unexpectedly, Lu Qingyue directly gave him the Red Moon Snow Gold.
"Thank you, Lu Divine, for your trust. I will surely craft a Divine Weapon that Lu Divine will be satisfied with," Xu Nian said joyfully.
After speaking, he collected the Red Moon Snow Gold.
With Red Moon Snow Gold, he can craft a God-level Puppet.
In the future, even if he encounters these people again, he won’t be as passive.
"Alright, I believe you; however, I have a question for Mr. Xu. Are you interested in joining our Ice Snow Mountain? If willing, I can forego these Heavenly Divine Artifacts," Lu Qingyue said with a smile.
Her smile was as captivating as a blooming Ice Lotus.
Xu Nian, upon hearing, smiled bitterly.
"This condition is something I cannot agree to. I’ve already joined Black Mountain Territory, and Brother Song and the others have treated me well, so I can’t betray Black Mountain Territory and join elsewhere," Xu Nian said.
"Have you reconsidered? Our Ice Snow Mountain is much stronger than Black Mountain Territory," Lu Qingyue said.
Xu Nian smiled and shook his head.
Seeing this, Lu Qingyue regarded Xu Nian more highly.
If Xu Nian had agreed, she might’ve felt discontent.
"If that’s the case, I wish Mr. Xu success in crafting the Top Grade Heavenly Divine Artifact soon," Lu Qingyue said.
With that, she disappeared from sight.
Xu Nian watched Lu Qingyue leave, then glanced at the Red Moon Snow Gold in his hand, and smiled contentedly.
Finally, he flew toward the direction of Black Mountain Territory.
