Mo Hua replied with a smile, “Thank you.”
Then the young man led the way, and Mo Hua walked into the Gu Family’s Refinery Shop.
Inside the Refinery Shop, there were quite a few cultivators.
These cultivators were mostly Artifact Refiners or Refinery Apprentices.
There were also many Refining Furnaces scattered around the area.
At that moment, the Artifact Refiners were sweating profusely, heating up the somewhat old and worn Refining Furnaces until they were glowing red, then focusing intently as they swung large hammers, forging the embryos of what seemed to be Spiritual Artifacts.
The sounds of flames, clanging, and shouting mingled together.
Just from observing the forging techniques, these Artifact Refiners seemed highly experienced and skilled.
But the Refining Furnaces were too old, and the Formations too rudimentary.
The process of forging Spiritual Artifacts also seemed somewhat perfunctory.
So, despite the considerable size and many Refining Furnaces and the exquisite crafting skills, there was still an anachronistic feeling of being “backward.”
However, Mo Hua did not feel it was right to keep staring.
After all, he had just arrived, was unfamiliar with the people here, and prolonged scrutiny could raise suspicions.
He walked further inside, entering a large courtyard which displayed many Spiritual Artifacts.
Passing through the courtyard, the corridor narrowed, then after another large door, the view suddenly opened up.
In front lay a mountaintop with a mine.
On the mountaintop, many cultivators were mining, with several simple Refining Furnaces nearby for refining the ores.
Mo Hua then realized that the entire Refinery Shop was not a closed structure but was built alongside the mountain, with walls on three sides enclosing this particular mining area.
Inside was a mine, outside a refinery.
One side for excavation, the other for Artifact Refining.
Mo Hua’s eyes lit up.
This was his first time seeing a Refinery Shop in this format.
From the look of it, this Refinery Shop must have once been splendid, but now it was in decline, probably fallen on hard times.
Currently, outside the mine, there was a stone table.
Sitting by the stone table, a large man was frowning in thought.
With just a glance, Mo Hua recognized that this majestic-looking man was a Golden Core Cultivator, and most likely the “Master Gu” he was seeking.
