My Celestial Ascension

309 Weapon Refining Technique for Xi Meili

"Let's go inside," Yuan said before entering the building.

"Welcome to the 'Sunset Lodging Services', Esteemed guests. I'm Tina, the daughter of the owner of this Inn." As they entered the building, they were greeted by a beautiful young lady in her early twenties.

Tina, the innkeeper's daughter, had gorgeous silky smooth brown hair and a pair of beautiful clear eyes. Her face was also quite beautiful and can be rated above average among commoners, and she had a very friendly look on her face.

'Wow...! I've never seen a man as handsome as this brother before... He is simply too handsome!' Tina looked at Yuan's handsome face seemingly in a daze, and mumbled to herself inwardly.

Her eyes couldn't believe that such a handsome man just walked into her Inn, followed by a group of unparalleled beauties that could create war among the empires, and perhaps even create a continental war.

'How is this possible?! How could so many beautiful women follow a single man?! This is unbelievable!! Is it because of this brother's handsome face? But it's too unreal!' Tina cried inwardly when Yuan's wives and Leah entered the Inn lobby.

Looking at the expression Tina was making, Yuan and his wives couldn't help but sigh and smile awkwardly, as it wasn't the first time something like this had happened to them.

'Am I really that handsome that everywhere I go the ladies would become like this? Or is it because of my Mom and the girls?' Yuan looked at Tina and wondered inwardly.

Tina, meanwhile, kept staring at Yuan's handsome face and she didn't want to take her eyes off of his face until she was satisfied.

'What am I doing?! Have I never seen a man before?! This is very embarrassing! If Mom sees me like this, I swear that she'll give me a lengthy lecture, and I don't want to hear any scolding.' Tina jolted awake and scolded herself.

"Hello, Miss Tina. It's very nice to meet you, I'm Yuan. And they are..." Yuan introduced himself first, and then he introduced his wives and Leah to Tina.

"It's a pleasure meeting you all, Mr. Yuan and Mrs. Yuan as well as Miss Leah," Tina replied with a smile.

Once the introduction was over, Tina asked, "So, Mr. Yuan. What kind of rooms would you like to book?"

"We have common, high-end, and premium rooms. Customers are treated differently in each case," Tina said before going on to describe the rooms in each category. "The common one will only cost 70 copper for a single night including a simple meal, the high-end one will only cost three silver coins for a single night including a high-quality meal."

"The premium one will cost 30 silver coins for a single night including an exclusive meal and the guest can request a custom order for their meal. And the premium one is capable of accommodating five people in a single room, unlike the others which can only accommodate about two people in each room." Tina finished her explanation to them about the rooms and looked at Yuan with a smile wondering which one Yuan would pick.

"We'd like to book two premium rooms close to each other for a single night, and here is the payment." Yuan didn't think twice before retrieving 60 silver coins from his system storage and placing them on the counter.

Because a single premium room can easily accommodate five people, Yuan has nothing to consider before booking the accommodation. As a result, he chose the premium room right away.

Furthermore, because he has a huge amount of boar meat saved in his system storage, he can request a special meal order. Why not make use of the services they have provided?

After that, Tina retrieved two special keys from the key holder behind her, handed the keys to Yuan, and said, "Your rooms are on the third floor, and your room numbers are 13 and 14, and here are the keys."

Then her expression became a little serious, and said, "And please don't lose the keys or you'll be fined 1 gold coin."

After accepting the keys, Yuan took out a boar limb from his system storage and placed the huge chunk of meat on the counter.

Tina was stunned and blinked a few times seeing Yuan take such a huge chunk of boar meat out of thin air, she couldn't process what was going on in front of her and how such a massive piece of meat appeared out of nowhere.

'Where the hell did he pull this thing out of?! More importantly, how the hell did he do it?!' Tina stared at Yuan with a dumbfounded expression on her face, seemingly in disbelief.

"H-How did you do that? Where did you take this out from?" She asked, wondering how Yuan pulled such a stunt.

"It's a secret." Yuan smiled, and then he said, "This piece of meat belongs to a boar that we hunt on our way here, I'd like you to cook this piece of meat the best way possible."

Tina was astonished that Yuan and his wives hunted such a massive boar on their way here, and she began to think that Yuan and his wives must be high-ranking hunters traveling the world.

"I understand. I'll Inform my mother to use the high-end ingredients to cook this premium piece of meat, and I'm sure that you won't be disappointed by the result." Tina quickly took the piece of meat, put it on the side, and asked, "So, do you want us to send your meal to your rooms or..."

"Please, send it to our rooms." Yuan quickly replied.

"Got it." Tina nodded with a smile.

After that, Yuan and his wives as well as Leah left the lobby and headed towards their rooms.

Since this world doesn't have any lift, they had to climb the stairs and it took them a minute to arrive at the third floor of the building.

Yuan looked at the room number written above the door of each room, and said, "Room number 13 and 14, these are our rooms. Sister, here's the key to your room." Yuan then handed one of the keys to his sister Lily.

A few minutes later, Yuan was sitting on the massive bed with a very comfortable mattress, he looked at Xi Meili with a loving smile as she was leaning against him with a sweet smile on her face.

'There is still some time before it gets entirely dark, and with Xi Meili's assistance, I can make the shock absorbers for our carriage in about an hour. But Nora has been unusually quiet for some reason, and I need her assistance in looking for anything in the system storage.' Yuan pondered.

'Should I try to call her name and see if she will respond to me or not?' He wondered inwardly.

He hadn't heard Nora's voice inside his head in a long time, and it happened as they were traveling from Pinebrook village to Monbrook city. And since then he never heard Nora's voice again.

'Let's give it a shot; it won't hurt anything.' Yuan decided to try calling Nora's name and see whether she responded. He was really curious to know why she hadn't spoken to him for so long, what's the secret behind her silence.

"Hey, Nora. Are you listening to me?" Yuan spoke inside his mind, hoping that Nora would respond back to him.

And to his surprise, Nora quickly responded to Yuan, [I'm listening, Host. Do you need my help with something?]

"Is it just my ears ringing or do I actually hear Nora's voice?" Yuan's face lit up with amazement as he heard Nora's crystal-

clear voice in his head.

[Host, Your ears are not ringing, I'm really talking to you.] Nora quickly responded to him.

"So you're really speaking to me, I see..." After confirming that it was indeed Nora's voice in his head, he then asked her, "So what happened to you? Why haven't you spoken to me for such a long time, Nora?"

[Host, I've been watching you the whole time. It's only you who didn't ask for my assistance, and thus I didn't speak to you unnecessarily.] Nora nonchalantly replied.

"What?! You're watching me the whole time in silence and didn't even speak to me once?! Unbelievable!" Yuan couldn't believe what he just heard. It seemed that he was the only idiot there.

Yuan took some time to calm himself down, and a moment later, he took a deep breath and asked, "Hey, Nora. Can you check my system storage if there is a decent weapon refining technique for Xi Meili to learn? And also, please do look for a weapon refining cauldron."

[Give me a moment, Host. I'll scan the system storage and look for them.] Nora quickly responded and began searching for a decent weapon refining technique and a cauldron for Xi Meili.

A moment later Nora finished scanning the system storage and spoke to Yuan.

[Host, I've finished scanning the system storage and found a very suitable weapon refining technique for Xi Meili, and also found a Heaven Grade Weapon refining cauldron to refine weapons and such.]

"Alright. Let me have a look."

[Understood, Host.]

Suddenly, a blue translucent window appeared in front of Yuan with information written on it about the refining technique and the cauldron.

«Dragon's Breath Refinement»

«Rank: Divine»

«Description: A legendary weapon refining technique that once belonged to the mighty dragon race.»

«Flameheart Furnace»

«Rank: Heaven»

«Quality: Peak»

«Description: A very famous furnace that once belonged to a very renowned weapon refining master.»

"What a powerful refining technique... And it appears to have formerly belonged to the dragon race, which is why it fits Xi Meili perfectly." Yuan was shocked to learn that the refining skill was a divine rank refining technique that once belonged to the mighty dragon race.
