Chapter Fifteen: Basic Refining of Equipment

  The second update is here, the difference in points is too great, and I'm still working hard to update, so please brothers give me some recommendation votes!

  The day after the Sect Trading Event ended, in a small hut on Purple Cloud Peak.

  Chu Linfeng did not sleep all night, studying the "Basic Refining Techniques Collection" back and forth for a whole night, and finally memorized the detailed refining methods of the 36 ordinary treasure talismans recorded in it.

  "Bursting Flame Needle, Violet Gold Eight Trigrams Shield, the refinement of these two Mortal-grade treasures can be said to be the foundation of the foundation of the Refining Path. I've made sufficient preparations, it's time to put them into practice..."

  Ironbacked tortoise shell pieces, rhinoceros horn, cinnabar sand, three taels of refined gold, ordinary spirit stone one hundred pieces...

  Place the materials needed for refining Blazing Inferno God Needle and Violet Gold Eight Trigrams Shield in front of him, Chu Linfeng took a deep breath, activated the Xuan Yang Refining Furnace Decision, and the true yuan force inside his body began to circulate in an unprecedented strange cycle.

  As Chu Linfeng slowly extended his right hand, a faint blue flame suddenly burst forth from his palm.

  Watching the Zhanlan Yuan fire rising between his fingers, Chu Linfeng's mouth involuntarily curled up into a faint smile. Although this Qingyang Yuan fire was only one of the easiest to understand among the three major refining equipment fires, mastering it would be equivalent to having the ability to refine ordinary treasure artifacts.

  When the thought arose, Chu Linfeng's hand moved swiftly, and in front of him, one of the nine pieces of iron turtle shell that had been cut into fragments was already placed into the Qingyang Original Fire. As the flames changed from blue to green, and then from green back to blue, after three cycles of transformation, the originally extremely hard turtle shell surprisingly melted into a half-transparent liquid like mercury.

  And in this process, Chu Linfeng's body consumed nearly half of his true yuan power. If it wasn't for the fact that his left hand had been holding a piece of spiritual stone to supplement the massive consumption of true yuan power from the very beginning, he would have probably exhausted all his true yuan power by the third time he changed the color of his primordial fire.

  The sixth spirit stone in his hand had already lost its spiritual energy, Chu Linfeng quickly replaced it with another one, replenishing the rapidly consumed true yuan force. At the same time, a small flame on his right hand slightly ignited, taking two pieces of refined financial essence into the iron turtle shell that had been melted into a liquid state.

  Two different kinds of materials, under the control of Chu Linfeng's Qingyang Yuanhuo, merged into one at a speed visible to the naked eye. As the Qingyang Yuanhuo flashed on and off, the liquid-like substance gradually solidified.

  At this moment, Chu Linfeng's consumption of true yuan force was much more than before, and the amount of spiritual stones needed to replenish the consumed true yuan force had already reached fifteen.

  "This is still the most inferior mortal-grade treasure, yet it consumes so much. If one were to refine a high-grade, precious, or even an ultimate-grade treasure, even with an endless supply of spirit stones to replenish their true yuan force, they would likely be unable to keep up..."

  In the midst of astonishment, the true yuan force was being consumed intensely. Meanwhile, Chu Linfeng's hands didn't dare to stop for a moment. Just as the shape of the object began to condense in his palm, his divine sense stirred and he pointed out three flashing cyan arrays on the newly formed object.

  Refining equipment up to now, this moment is indeed the most critical moment. Although refining a purple gold eight trigrams shield and other basic mortal treasures does not require complicated talismanic arrays, for Chu Linfeng who has just started refining equipment, it is still a considerable challenge.

  After all, refining equipment is not necessarily successful every time. The selection and matching degree of the material, the strength control of the fire, the sufficiency or insufficiency of the true yuan force, and the timing of the array method, are all indispensable factors in the refining process. If there is a slight mistake, it will waste precious materials and gain nothing.

  What's more, it is said that when refining a superior-grade artifact above the mortal grade, one will even invite heavenly punishment. The power of this punishment is determined by the might of the artifact. At that time, if one does not possess absolute strength, let alone successfully refine the artifact, being able to preserve oneself when the heavenly punishment arrives would already be a stroke of luck.

  "It's done!?"

  In an instant, Chu Lin's palm was empty of the green flame, but a new object appeared, shaped like an octagon, with a faint blue glow.

  His fingers brushed over the magic treasure he had personally refined, and Chu Lianfeng's heart couldn't help but stir up a wave of excitement. Having left home for so long, and having experienced two years of bitter life where his cultivation was lost, it made him clearly realize how enormous the intangible wealth he possessed now was.

  "Alchemist, this identity will surely become the strongest aid on one's future path..."

  Although it was only refined into an extremely ordinary mortal treasure, the success gave Chu Linfeng a great encouragement.

  Since learning of the disaster at home, his mother was taken away and imprisoned by the Taicheng Sect, the first major sect of Daoism. Chu Linfeng had not been thinking for a moment about how to kill his way into the Taicheng Sect and start a massacre.

  "Taiqing Sect..."

  Chu Linfeng's face was calm as water, lightly reciting three words. Except for the flash of cold killing intent in his eyes, even a seasoned person would not detect the depth of hatred Chu Linfeng had towards Tai Qingzong.

  This is undoubtedly due to Chu Lianfeng's precious qualities honed through two bleak careers - endurance and determination far beyond ordinary people.

  "Mother, I will definitely rescue you as soon as possible. At that time, the hardships you have suffered, at that time I must repay them a hundred times..."

  Taking a deep breath to calm the fluctuating emotions, Chu Linfeng casually placed the newly refined Purple Gold Eight Trigrams Shield aside and continued refining the second piece without hesitation.

  In the blink of an eye, three days passed. A yellowish-brown sword light flashed through the air and arrived at the small wooden hut in front of Ziyun Peak's Chulinfeng. A young man with a majestic figure stood on his sword, his expression revealing a hint of puzzlement.

  "With such a thin aura and living in such a dilapidated place, it doesn't seem like you're someone who can take out a treasure..."

  Just as he was filled with suspicion, a coarse linen green robe Chu Linfeng stepped out of the wooden house with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth. "This senior brother is indeed trustworthy, the three-day deadline has arrived, and the treasure has been prepared properly, why not make the transaction immediately?"

  "You are..."

  That young man couldn't help but stare blankly for a moment after seeing the true face of Chu Linfeng, "You are Chu Linfeng, that year's genius of the sect who possessed the Xuan Yang spiritual body!"

  "Oh? Does Big Brother recognize me?"

  Chu Lin's smile remained unchanged, as calm as water: "It's all in the past now. Nowadays, I'm just a miscellaneous disciple within the sect."

  "Human Fivefold Heaven...... You have regained your former strength......"

  The man took a deep breath, seemingly thinking of something, and burst out laughing: "Haha, it seems that this year's Zong Nei Grand Competition will have another powerful opponent. Not bad, I, Lin Zhantian, am really looking forward to seeing the one who won the first place in the three generations of Xuan Yuan Sect two years ago, Chu Lianfeng."

  "Lin Shixiong, shall we continue our transaction?" Chu Lianfeng smiled ambiguously and took out four ordinary treasure talismans that he had refined early in the morning from his storage bag.

  Lin Zhantian took the four treasures handed over by Chu Lianfeng, and after releasing his divine sense to investigate, he couldn't help but say sideways: "No mistake, it's indeed what I need."

  "With that said, Lin Zhan Tian flicked his wrist and a dan bead the size of a longan flew towards Chu Lian Feng. 'The Kyoran Dan is here, our transaction is now settled. Additionally, please keep this deal confidential, Brother Chu.'"

  The second update is here, and the difference in points is too great. Fortunately, the updated Xianyun is still quite impressive. Please brothers, give me some recommendation votes to support!
