Chapter 91: The Emergence of a New Master Artificer

  In the Xian Tian world, equipment refiners and pill refiners are highly respected professions. Professions? Yes, that's right, professions that have evolved over time in this unique world of Xian Tian. At this point, cultivators are no longer as all-powerful as they were in ancient times, with many ancient tomes and techniques lost to the ages. As a result, it has become increasingly difficult for cultivators to survive, with many natural dangers lurking in the world that can take their lives. Without the divine magic and extraordinary abilities of the ancient cultivators, even those who manage to transcend tribulations and ascend are becoming fewer and farther between, until now they are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

  It is precisely because of this that the energy of modern cultivators can no longer be like that of ancient cultivators, who were well-versed in everything and had boundless magical powers. Therefore, at this time, the two auxiliary methods for cultivation, alchemy and pill concoction, began to diverge. A person's life has its limits, and even cultivators have their limits. After these two methods became separate professions, each domain focused on research and exploration, finally achieving breakthroughs. Alchemical pills replaced medicinal herbs as catalysts, and some modern alchemical techniques also emerged. However, even so, some things, once lost, can never be recovered. The ancient cultivators' boundless magical powers, which could move mountains and seas, only exist in legend, and their methods for refining treasures and immortal pills have been reduced to mere fragments, with the rest becoming legends as well.

  Yang Tian asked unintentionally threw out the ten-tiered array of Lianlian, which is one of the legends!! Yang Tian's name, no, it should be the name "Ask Heaven" two words, quickly spread throughout the refining world.

  At the time when the alchemy world was going crazy for array, our protagonist Mr. Yang Tianwen had returned to his temporary cave mansion, quietly cultivating and practicing alchemy, refining pills and equipment. This time out, Yang Tianwen not only sold nearly thirty symbol artifacts and over thirty bottles of Yuanyuan Dan in one go, earning a huge sum of over 100,000 top-grade spirit stones, but also bought back the large quantities of spiritual materials and medicines he had wanted to buy before but couldn't afford.

  Although I bought a lot, they were all some medicinal materials for refining the Nourishing Spirit Dan. The main spiritual medicines and the most important medicine guide didn't have any leads at all. The spiritual materials I bought back were also similarly depressing. According to Yang Tianwen's expectations, the array base should not be difficult to refine, but it still lacked the most important main material, Qingyao Stone! At the same time, this is also a necessary spiritual material for refining magic treasures. Strangely enough, there was none on the market, and instead, demon dan was quite abundant on the market, with those below seventh grade being readily available.

  However, if the Lianzhi Nourishing Spirit Pill uses the demon pill to replace the 500-year-old Rougui as a medicine guide, to be honest, Yang Tian himself doesn't know what level to use. This requires time to study and also needs samples, requiring a 500-year-old Rougui as a sample to explore its medicinal properties before comparing it with the demon pill's grade.

  Yang Tian felt that time was clearly insufficient, with so much to study, consider, practice magic, learn formations, read alchemy scriptures, and explore the way of artifacts.

  Time passed like flowing water, Yang Tianwu closed his door and cultivated in seclusion, without asking about worldly affairs.

  The outside world's discussion about Master "Wen Tian" has never stopped, and those who bought the talismans made by Master "Wen Tian" suddenly found that what they had in their hands was a treasure. The high-grade talismans that were originally worth one or two thousand top-quality spirit stones to buy and use, appreciated in value again and again over the years, doubling and redoubling in price. Countless sects and artifact-refining masters offered high prices to buy them back, while the entire Dao Alliance's cultivation world was searching for this newly emerged artifact-refining master.

  Unfortunately, there has been no news for over a decade, and on the market, some symbols with the words "Ask Heaven" have appeared. "Ask Heaven" suddenly became a famous brand logo, and countless counterfeit and inferior products emerged. The profession of alchemy master is respected, but it refers to high-level alchemy masters above the level of repair. There are too many below the high level, and their level is only at the level of treasure instruments. Only high-level alchemy masters can refine spiritual instruments. Although they are only first-level spiritual instruments, they are stronger than tenth-level treasure instruments. Those who can refine fourth-level or higher spiritual instruments can be called alchemy masters. Those who can refine seventh-level or higher spiritual instruments are called sect masters. In the cultivation world, those who can be called alchemy sect masters can be counted on one hand.

  And "Wen Tian" got the title of Master Refiner with only thirty or so seventh- and eighth-grade artifacts, which is a miracle in the cultivation world. No other reason, just relying on the refining method contained in these artifacts, can be considered one of the best. "Wen Tian" got the title of Master Refiner in the cultivation world, but in the refining world, no master or grandmaster jumped out to oppose and accuse him. They all silently acknowledged the dark horse-like "Wen Tian".

  A batch of "Wen Tian" branded artifacts suddenly appeared on the market, causing a stir. However, these fakes can only deceive outsiders, while true connoisseurs can spot them at a glance. Although they are fake, their quality is still passable and has become a trend. Nowadays, most lower-level cultivators use these "Wen Tian" branded artifacts, and if you don't use one, others will look down on you!

  As a direct result, the genuine "Ask the Sky" became even more valuable, and its price skyrocketed again. Whenever someone took one out, wealthy collectors would offer prices that were never low, with the lowest being at least tens of thousands of high-grade spirit stones. As fewer genuine items circulated in the market, their price became even higher, with a record sale reaching 150,000 high-grade spirit stones. 150,000 high-grade spirit stones could buy a third-grade or even fourth-grade spiritual artifact, but it was spent on just one eighth-grade talisman.

  No choice, this is the brand effect. Maybe in terms of quality it's not much different from some street stall goods, but people just think it's precious, a treasure.

  Unfortunately, Yang Tianwen did not know that the several thousand high-quality spiritual stones he sold were actually worth tens of millions. If he had known, who knows if he would have been so depressed that he would have pounded his chest and stomped his feet?

  "Hiss~!" Yang Tianwen's hand formed a seal, and with a soft shout, a bolt of lightning as thick as a thumb suddenly descended from the sky, striking the giant tree that five people could encircle with their arms. With a loud "Boom", the entire tree was blasted apart.

  Yang Tianwen nodded, the Thunder Spell summoned by Tian Lei had finally been practiced successfully. The heavenly thunder brought by the innate purple energy was even more powerful than Yang Tianwen's imagination. To think that this wasn't caused by a magic treasure, but rather by a spell itself. Looking at the destructive power of this Thunder Spell, Yang Tianwen suddenly felt that the talismans he was currently using were really too inferior.
