Bai Jue unceremoniously transmitted his thoughts.
"Elder Bai, what you said is not right. My luck has always been terrifyingly good, how could it be this issue."
"Haha! Terrifyingly good indeed, but luck is elusive and for things that cannot be accomplished, I attribute them to lack of luck."

Xia Liu was speechless.

"This..."
Xia Liu couldn't argue back.
The truth might indeed be this.
This sort of thing really depends on luck!
"Continue refining, maybe the upcoming refinement will surprise you, or perhaps you'll gain nothing at all; adjust your mindset accordingly."
"I understand!"
Xia Liu continued to wield the Heavenly Gang Holy Fire for gold refinement.
