On this morning, at the largest Martial Artists Trading Market in Flaming Sun City, some regular martial artist patrons discovered a new stall quietly appeared in the area where the alchemists and artifact refiners gathered.
In front of the new stall stood a freshly erected stone sign etched with the words "Alchemy and Artifact Refining".
Unlike the other old alchemists and artifact refiners at surrounding stalls, who were mostly elderly, the two owners of this new stall appeared to be only young martial artists in their twenties.
The two young martial artists—one clad in white, the other in black—were both handsome and graceful youths.
"These two young guys who haven't even fully grown up, understand alchemy and artifact refining? Ridiculous!"
"They actually came here to set up a stall and compete, how audacious!"
"Perhaps they've learned a little about alchemy and artifact refining somewhere and think they are the best in the world, daring to compete with us old folks!"
