According to the latest data, Yu Changdao's fortune this year was estimated to have surged to one billion.
This made Ma Mingyuan, Wu Hua, and the other refiners who had a good relationship with Yu Changdao envious.
Even a sge-level refiner like Tan Yuan was polite to Yu Changdao.
Who wouldn't, with all that money?
As for Han Muye, he mostly stayed deep in the workshop, researching his refining techniques.
Tang Yuan had exchanged ideas with Han Muye a few times, but then stopped going.
Privately, Tang Yuan expressed that it was not something he, a sage-level refining master, could comprehend.
But he also explained that it wasn't because Chief Han's research was too profound, but rather because it was relatively new and not within his scope of expertise.
Among the workshop's refiners, speculation arose that perhaps Chief Han was about to introduce a new patent.
