Chapter Eleven: Flowing Light

  By the iron stove, Yun Zhongzi's head was only a little higher than the stove, which made his eyebrows knot up.

  However he could never have imagined that he would face such a difficult problem.

  On the side, Hu Yong and Lu Jiangshi wanted to laugh but held it in with great effort.

  He glanced around the room and saw a stone pedestal about one foot high, his eyes lit up immediately, and with a slight movement of his primordial spirit's power, the pedestal floated into the air, he jumped lightly, and the pedestal landed at his feet, its height just right.

  "Neutron, can you magic?"

  Lu Jiang was shocked, moving objects through the air, this is a magician's trick.

  "It's settled then!" Yun Zhongzi said vaguely, but it left both of them shocked and perplexed.

  "I want to refine the law instrument, but the temperature of the furnace is not enough. I haven't condensed the golden elixir yet and can't release the elixir fire, so I can only use the formation method to increase the flame's power!" After a brief thought, he took out nine pieces of magic crystal, drew a few strokes of magical symbols on each one, and arranged them around the furnace, forming an array that increased the flame's power. Suddenly, the bright red flames intensified by more than tenfold.

  This amazing scene left Hu Yong and Lu Jiangzi stunned, their hearts racing with fear.

  Yun Zhongzi arranged things while muttering a scripture, using his true yuan to urge the power of the formation, making a sound like a mosquito flying, echoing in the room and spreading throughout the Yun family's armory.

  "To grow rapidly, it's indispensable to build up one's power and influence. Given my special identity, while passing down the skills, I also need to ensure the other party's loyalty. I don't have that much time for training, fortunately, I inadvertently created the 'Heart Return Sutra' back then, which saved me a lot of trouble!"

  Yun Zhongzi thought back to when he created the Hui Xin Jing, his heart felt a pang of gloominess. He thought about how in the past, although there weren't many disciples of the Xuan Jiao sect, each one was incredibly powerful. However, after being sealed away by the gods for a calamity, nearly half of his fellow disciples betrayed the sect and left. This made both the respected Master Shang and the remaining fellow disciples hearts ache with sorrow.

  After going through this matter, he was moved and decided to establish a kung fu method. Without changing the nature of others, he sowed the seeds of loyalty, forever turning his heart without betraying it.

  It took nearly a thousand years, drawing on Buddhist scriptures such as the Universal Gateway Chapter and various Taoist classics, to finally create an extremely powerful Scripture of Returning Heart, which was in no way inferior to Buddhism's Universal Gateway Chapter. At that time, his strength had reached a peak, but he never used it.

  "With the power of the Original Spirit driving the scriptures, in the listener's soul, quietly sow the seeds of loyalty, and never fear the calamity of betrayal!"

  Yun Zhongzi's mind was racing with thoughts, "The Yun Family's Armory will be the place where I pass down my Refining Equipment Dao lineage!"

  When he had finished arranging everything, the Heart Sutra had already been silently recited by him. For Lu Jiang and others, his strength was too weak, one round was enough. But their expressions did not change at all, only in their hearts, they quietly drew closer to Yun Zhongzi.

  Taking a deep breath, Yun Zhongzi's heart was slightly excited, "This is the first time I've refined equipment since my rebirth!" Soon, he calmed down.

  He used the power of Yuanshen's divine thought to control the Tianxing Stone, Xuan Tie, and Mo Yu Shi, flying them in front of him, respectively casting them into the flames to melt and remove impurities.

  This magical scene once again shocked Lu Jiang and Hu Yong. Their gaze towards Yun Zhongzi began to show a hint of reverence.

  In the room, except for the sound of flames, it was quiet and still.

  After three incense sticks' time, the three materials finally melted completely and formed three liquid masses.

  "What I need most now is a flying sword for attacking and defending, and also a dan furnace to refine the elixir and quickly increase my strength!" Yun Zhongzi's mind was racing, and he divided each of the three sets of materials into four parts, using his yuan Shen's power to mix them together. In the blink of an eye, a small sword the size of a palm appeared.

  "Refine the flying sword, need to print a sharp array, to benefit its blade; solidify the array, to solidify its quality; break the wind array, to increase its speed; like-minded array, stimulate the spatial properties within, can be large or small at will; dissolve blood array, absorb the power of blood vessels, dissolve into the body!" Yun Zhongzi's mind flew back and forth, his two hands danced, printing out one after another array method, entering the flying sword.

  Hummm...

  After several spells were cast, the flying sword suddenly trembled violently, emitting infinite light that illuminated the entire room. At the same time, a fierce aura was released, causing Lu Jiang to feel chilled to the bone.

  "Done!" Yun Zhongzi was overjoyed, and with a flick of his hand, a drop of fresh blood flew out and merged into the flying sword. Instantly, he could manipulate this divine weapon that had first appeared in another world as if it were an extension of his own arm.

  At the slightest thought, the flying sword quickly flew around the room at an incredible speed, already beyond Lu Zhang's sensory limits.

  "Could this be the legendary divine artifact?"

  Lu Jiang was shocked and exclaimed, "Only a legendary divine artifact can be manipulated at will."

  "This is not a divine artifact, it can only be considered a mid-grade magic artifact, temporarily making do with it!" Yun Zhongzi's mind moved, and the flying sword came to his eyes, looking at the shining silver blade, he smiled and said, "From now on, you will be called Flowing Light!"

  The flying sword trembled and entered his body, entering the dantian, where it was warmed by the true yuan.

  "This is clearly a characteristic of the legendary divine artifact!" Lu Jiang felt that his brain was not enough to comprehend, but in his heart, he couldn't stop roaring: He, a little kid, how could he have such unheard-of casting skills? And how could he refine a divine artifact?!

  Perhaps sensing his thoughts, Yun Zhongzi said, "After it's over, I'll teach you the art of casting!"

  "Really?" Lu Jiangsi jumped up excitedly, three feet high.

  Lu Xizhe is named Lu Xizhe, with barbarian characteristics. Otherwise, it's uncertain whether he would be accepted as a disciple by Yun Zhongzi and pass on the true teachings.

  Yun Zhongzi nodded, looking at the three clusters above the flames, but in his heart he said: "I can't release Dan fire now, to refine the cauldron, I must leave a fire groove, used to place magic crystals, use array method to stimulate the flames, can be used at will!"

  The design is fixed, and the three materials are mixed together to form a tripod furnace shape. Various arrays are then added to it for blessing, especially at the bottom of the tripod furnace, where a hollow base plate is formed, with the True Fire Array engraved on it, leaving nine empty slots for the Nine Defensive Magic Crystals.

  Refining the cauldron is more than a dozen times more complicated than flying sword, fortunately his yuan god is strong and profound, otherwise it would be difficult to hold on.

  Hum...

  The tripod furnace shook, and the entire room began to vibrate.

  "Done!" Yun Zhongzi showed a joyful expression, and after spitting out a drop of fresh blood to acknowledge ownership, he thought for a moment, and the cauldron transformed into the size of a millstone. With another thought, it transformed again into the size of a pigeon egg. "A mid-grade artifact, slightly stronger than a flying sword. From now on, you shall be known as Mo Ding!"

  After taking in the Ink Cauldron, he moved his hand and recalled the nine pieces of magic crystal, only to find that the spiritual energy inside had been depleted by nearly half. He shook his head slightly and stored them away in the spatial ring.

  Yun Zhongzi stared at Lucille, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, making Lucille feel uneasy. "Your current strength is too weak, I'll pass on to you the True Fire Refining Body Technique, which will completely convert your yuanqi into fire attributes. When it's fully mastered, you'll be able to emit true flames and then you can refine artifacts! I'll also pass on to you the Thirty-six Hammer Forging Method, which will raise your casting level by several tiers. Remember, cultivate well!"

  With that said, Mo Yu pointed with one finger and transmitted the two techniques into Rusier's mind.

  A vast amount of information suddenly left Rusi stunned, his eyes bewildered. Yun Zhongzi chuckled and walked out with Hu Yong.

  After a long time, Lucille came to her senses.

  "What a powerful technique, what a mysterious iron-forging method!" Rusiel exclaimed in shock. "Teaching me the divine skill is like giving me new life. From now on, I will definitely make Cloud Manor's Arsenal Department famous throughout the world!" After speaking, he bowed his head and knocked three times in the direction of the Cloud Manor, and when he stood up, an unprecedented strong confidence rose from his chest!
