After a moment of silence, Xiao Lin glanced once more at Lei Ji, who hoped he would state his request, and finally decided to speak up. The difference between owing a favor to Mang Tianchi and owing a favor to the Lei Clan did not seem that large.
Because this was the Lei Realm, even if he made a request to Mang Tianchi, it was essentially equivalent to making a request to the Lei Clan.
Unless the location was changed to Jia Nan Academy, then he would only owe Mang Tianchi rather than the Lei Clan. But since he had already come to the Lei Clan, what else was there to hesitate about?
"Alright, Elder Lei Ji, since that is the case, I will speak frankly. My visit to the Lei Clan this time was originally to ask Headmaster Mang Tianchi for a favor."
Xiao Lin said sincerely.
As for Xiao Lin's statement, Lei Ji did not feel surprised.
Or rather, this was within his expectations!
"Oh? Is that so? Then can little friend Lin Xiao tell me directly? Our Lei Clan has always been very warm toward friends. As long as we have the capability, our Lei Clan will definitely assist!"
At a time like this, polite standard phrases still had to be said.
Even if both sides knew what each other was thinking, there were times when such things could not be spoken explicitly.
This was probably the world of adults.
"It is like this, Elder Lei Ji. I have some artifact refining materials here, and I want to refine them into an ideal weapon. I wonder if the Lei Clan knows any top-tier artifact refiner masters?"
As he spoke, Xiao Lin also took out all the various artifact refining materials he had collected over these years.
Initially, when Lei Ji heard that Xiao Lin merely wanted to find a artifact refiner master to forge a weapon, he was still somewhat disappointed.
This request, in his view, was just too small!
It was completely unable to make Xiao Lin owe a huge favor to his Lei Clan!
However, before he could even speak from his side, after seeing those top-tier artifact refining materials Xiao Lin brought out, the corners of his eyes could not help but twitch.
Good heavens!
Mythril Essence, Lightning-Struck Wood, the tendons of a certain tiger-type magic beast at the Dou Sheng realm, and that Meteoric Metal which seemed a tier lower than Meteoric Iron on the surface but was clearly incomparably special at a glance.
Which one of these artifact refining materials was ordinary? Not to mention that Xiao Lin had also pulled out a pile of other miscellaneous auxiliary materials.
To refine these materials into a single weapon, there were probably not even a few artifact refiner masters on the entire Central Plains continent who could accomplish it!
Seeing this, Lei Ji finally knew why Xiao Lin would come to the Lei Clan to seek help.
'This kid is not simple! They are all top-tier artifact refining materials! To be able to gather all these top-tier artifact refining materials together, besides strength, luck is also indispensable!'
'It seems that as long as this kid does not fall prematurely, nine times out of ten he can achieve the Dou Sheng realm. Furthermore, he will not be a low-level Dou Sheng!'
As thoughts flashed through his mind at lightning speed, Lei Ji had already thought of many things. At the same time, regarding the Lei Clan's investment in Xiao Lin, he no longer had any doubts!
A future Dou Sheng who was hopeful of reaching the mid-stage or above was worth their Lei Clan's full effort to rope in!
"Elder Lei Ji?"
Seeing that Lei Ji had fallen into a daze because of these artifact refining materials he brought out, Xiao Lin could not help but call out.
Hearing Xiao Lin's voice, Lei Ji finally snapped back to his senses.
"Ah? Oh, apologies, I lost my train of thought. Little friend Xiao Lin, you are preparing to use these materials to refine a weapon, right?"
After his gaze swept over each piece of artifact refining material, Lei Ji opened his mouth to ask.
"Yes, in the Central Plains, I have already looked for many artifact refiners, but not a single person could take the job. That is why I came to the Lei Clan to seek the headmaster's help."
Xiao Lin also spoke the plain truth.
"Tsk tsk, these materials of yours are all the most top-tier artifact refining materials! Ordinary artifact refiners naturally cannot utilize them. Even if they had the capability, there is a high probability that they would damage a thing or two of these materials."
Regarding this point, even though Lei Ji was not a artifact refiner, he was still able to see it clearly.
According to the meaning in Lei Ji's words, it was that an ordinary artifact refiner could not handle this kind of top-tier material.
A small portion of artifact refiners who could manage to use them might also refine these top-tier materials into a low-tier weapon.
This was obviously not something Xiao Lin could accept either.
"Then Elder Lei Ji, do you know any artifact refiner masters who can perfectly utilize these top-tier artifact refining materials?"
When asking the question, Xiao Lin was still a little nervous.
Regarding his own weapon, Xiao Lin had already been busy for many years. He did not want his efforts to end up being all for nothing.
"Hahaha, little friend Lin Xiao, on this point, you have asked the right person and come to the right place!"
Speaking up to this point, Lei Ji suddenly burst into loud laughter.
Listening to Lei Ji's laughter, Xiao Lin's eyes also lit up instantly.
"Elder Lei Ji, does that mean..."
"That is right, within our Lei Clan, there happens to be such a artifact refiner master!"
Before Xiao Lin could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Lei Ji.
However, Lei Ji's words also carried a hint of pride!
The most top-tier artifact refiner on the Dou Qi Continent, their Lei Clan had one!
Hearing this, Xiao Lin's hands could not help but clench with excitement.
"Elder Lei Ji, would it be possible to introduce me?"
Xiao Lin rubbed his hands together, forcing down the excitement in his heart as he asked.
He finally had news of such a top-tier artifact refiner!
This trip to the Lei Realm was definitely not in vain!
"Of course no problem, I will take you to see Elder Lei Xiu right now, come with me."
Lei Ji had no intention of dragging his feet either, and spoke up immediately.
Xiao Lin also learned the name of that artifact refiner master of the Lei Clan from Lei Ji's mouth, Lei Xiu!
Subsequently, Xiao Lin followed Lei Ji, left the cave dwelling that the Lei Clan had arranged for his rest, and flew all the way toward the east.
The Lei Realm was still very large!
Before long, Xiao Lin saw a lightning mountain.
That is right, a lightning mountain!
It was not to say that this mountain was made of lightning, but the peak of this mountain was completely enveloped by dark lightning clouds, and from time to time, deep blue lightning bolts would strike down.
In addition, there was no vegetation of any kind on this mountain, which was completely composed of pieces of pitch-black rock. On the surface of these black rocks, an electric arc would occasionally flash out now and then.
Very clearly, after being struck by this lightning day after day, year after year, the rocks on this mountain could actually already be counted as a treasure. After all, how could normal rocks carry electric arcs?
Furthermore, at the top of this lightning mountain, there was a massive iron pillar plunging straight down, dividing the entire lightning mountain into two halves.
Around this massive iron pillar, countless iron chains also extended out, embedding themselves into the stone walls all over the lightning mountain.
Looking at it as a whole, the feeling this lightning mountain gave off was incomparably towering and majestic!
"We have arrived, it is right here. Elder Lei Xiu loves artifact refining as much as his own life, and stays on top of Mount Lei all year round without coming down. He also masters a powerful artifact refining secret technique called the Lightning Forging Art!"
"Whenever members of our Lei Clan want to refine any weapon, they all ask Elder Lei Xiu for help. Of course, Elder Lei Xiu's temper is somewhat eccentric. Ordinary weapons, he disdains to forge them."
"Even with the Clan Leader's order, sometimes he will not compromise. To use his words, does scrap metal deserve his action? Therefore, wanting to make him take action is not an easy matter!"
"Fortuitously, little brother Lin Xiao, what you hold in your hands are all top-tier artifact refining materials, so I think he should be interested. In addition, the existence of this lightning mountain also assists Elder Lei Xiu in executing the Lightning Forging Art."
After arriving at the foot of Mount Lei, Lei Ji introduced everything here to Xiao Lin, including the person and the environment.
After listening to Lei Ji's introduction, Xiao Lin's eyes could not help but grow brighter and brighter!
Excellent, he precisely liked this kind of artifact refiner master who refused to take action unless facing top-tier materials!
