Refinement had been going on for about half a day when dusk gradually set in.
When a crisp bell tone rang out, all the refiners heaved a sigh of relief and ceased their refining actions.
"Ah, I'm dead tired; finally, we can rest."
"Yes, refining all day long, my bones are sore."
"We're close, the Sacrificial Altar is almost complete. Our mission will soon end. As soon as the Teleportation Formation of the Sacrificial Altar is activated, we can consider our great task accomplished. Each of us will have made a significant contribution and will receive a handsome reward, hehe..."
"Go, drink some wine. A bit of wine will help with sleep."
"Go!"
The Artifact Refiners chattered casually as they walked out in groups.
Lin Chen was considering what he should do next when the Artifact Refiner in front of him turned his head and said, "Moze, do you want to join us?"
Lin Chen, unsure of where else to go, nodded without hesitation.
