Chapter Eighty-Three: Exactly the Same Refining Materials

  The next morning, on the mountain peak where Qīng Yún Hall was located,

  Qing Fan Zhang Lao's face was flushed with red light, descending from the sky and landing directly in Kong Fang's small courtyard.

  Upon hearing the noise, Fang Tou hastily stopped his cultivation and quickly walked out of the house. When he saw that the visitor was actually Qing Fan Elder, Fang Tou's expression couldn't help but be taken aback. After reacting, he hurriedly paid his respects, "Disciple Fang Tou greets the elder."

  Qing Fan elder waved his hand and said with a faint smile: "Where is your brother Kong? Call him out to see me." Qing Fan elder's face was flushed with joy, obviously in a very good mood.

  Fang's head was stunned for a moment, "Shixiong is not in the sect, he left the sect yesterday to go to Muxing Sect on a mission."

  Elder Qing Fan was slightly stunned, "He is not in our sect?"

  "Yes." Fang Tou replied respectfully: "Yesterday, Shixiong and Su Yun Shi Jie from Tian Ji Hall competed in alchemy, then he rode the Xingyun Chuan to Mu Hang Zong."

  "This kid." Qing Fan's elder smiled and shook his head, "After refining a low-grade Heavenly Spirit Treasure, he can still calm down and do the task, his temperament is indeed steady."

  "By the way, you tell me in detail about yesterday's refining tool competition between Kong Fang and Su Yun." said Qing Fan elder.

  Fang Tou then recounted in detail everything he had seen and heard. After listening to Fang Tou's words, Qing Fan Zhen Lao nodded slightly and instructed: "When Kong Shixiong returns, have him go to Huo Yun Tang to see me."

  Having said that, Qingfan Zhenjun quickly flew away, but Qingfan Zhenjun did not fly towards Huoyun Hall below, but instead flew to another mountain peak.

  ……

  In the Mu lineage of Zen,

  Under the giant tree stood many people, all of whom were the disciples of the Qi Zong who had accepted this task. Standing in a corner, Kong Fang's eyes scanned and found that there were still quite a few people who had accepted the task, with over twenty people present.

  Suddenly, three figures flew down quickly from the air and landed in front of Kong Fang and others.

  The disciples of the Qizong sect who were chatting with each other suddenly fell silent, and those who could fly were at least cultivators in the Ascension Realm. To them, who were still in the Lingering Soul Realm, their strength was already considered very powerful.

  Among the three people standing in the middle is an old man, to the left of the old man is a middle-aged person, and to the right is a young man. All three are wearing green clothes with various strange patterns embroidered on them, including trees or vines.

  The young man standing on the right side of the elder looked at all the disciples of Qizong and smiled, saying: "I'm very glad that fellow Taoists from Qizong have come to our Muxingzong. If there's anything that doesn't meet your expectations, please let us know and we'll make sure you're satisfied."

  "We have taken the task of refining equipment, there is no satisfaction or dissatisfaction, let's arrange the refinement as soon as possible." A disciple of the Equipment Sect said loudly in the crowd.

  "It seems that some of you are getting impatient. Alright, from now on, the arrangement for the refining equipment will be handled by me, Qingmu Elder."

  Kong Fang and other disciples of the Qizong sect were shocked, Mu Xingzong was a very powerful sect, although not as good as Qizong, but in Mu Xingzong, those who could become elders were generally strong figures at the Huiling boundary.

  The old man standing in the middle spoke up at this time.

  "Fellow Taoists, since you have all received your tasks, I assume you are also aware of the rules. I won't repeat them here; everything depends on your individual refining abilities. What's disappointing is that the lowest task among you all is to refine a lower-grade Post-Heaven Spirit Treasure, and yet no one has taken on the task of refining a Quasi-Spirit Treasure." The old man shook his head with a sigh, appearing somewhat helpless, but then smiled again, saying: "It seems that the inner disciples of the Instrument Sect are becoming increasingly powerful; they can't even be bothered to refine Quasi-Spirit Treasures anymore."

  Upon hearing this, the other sect disciples couldn't help but burst out laughing. Some praised them, saying that their strength was naturally a good thing. However, the blue-robed youth and the flame-armored youth who had met Kong Fang yesterday looked puzzled.

  The two of them turned their heads together and looked at Kong Fang standing in the corner, with a surprised and uncertain expression.

  "He took the task of refining the Quasi-Spiritual Treasure, so why did Elder Qingmu say that no one had taken the task of refining the Quasi-Spiritual Treasure?" The young man in the cyan robe said in a low voice.

  "It's possible that he arrived yesterday, so Elder Qingmu doesn't know about this yet." The Flame Armor youth also lowered his voice and said: "Moreover, he has only been an inner disciple for half a year, you don't think he can already refine a low-grade Heaven Spirit Treasure now, do you?"

  "Me too." The young man in green nodded in agreement.

  Zhun Lingbao and Xia Tianlingbao were both aware of the difficulties in advancing their refining skills, having spent a long time to reach their current level. Therefore, they did not believe that Kong Fang could refine a lower-grade Post-Heavenly Spirit Treasure in just half a year.

  If these two hadn't arrived at Muxing Sect ahead of time, they wouldn't be so confident, because they would have heard the results of Kong Fang and Su Yun's trial.

  The two of them exchanged a glance and couldn't help but laugh.

  "We actually doubted that a newcomer who has been an inner disciple for only half a year could refine a low-grade acquired spiritual treasure. It seems that too much time has passed, and we have almost forgotten how much time and effort we spent to break through this bottleneck when we were at the same stage."

  The two withdrew their gaze and no longer paid attention to Kong Fang. In their hearts, they were certain that Qingmu Elder had not received the news of Kong Fang obtaining the refining permit for the Azure Spirit Treasure.

  Mr. Aoki said a few words and then took all the disciples of the instrument to another direction. After a while, everyone came to a very empty place. Other places were covered with trees and vegetation, but here was a large area that was completely empty, with nothing at all.

  This is the location of the Mu Xing Zong's Lian Qi Shi, although the ancient wood that has been here for hundreds or even thousands of years is very dense and hard, it is not suitable for opening up a Lian Qi Shi, so the Mu Xing Zong's Lian Qi Shi was built underground.

  The young and middle-aged people beside Laozhe distributed some refining materials to Kong Fang and more than 20 others according to the different tasks each person received.

  The people who obtained the refining material entered the underground refining room one after another along the stairs and have already started preparing for the refinement.

  The youth in blue robes and the youth with flame armor did not rush to enter the underground refining room after storing the refining materials, but instead stood idly by, their eyes scanning the other people.

  Although the two of them were certain that Qingmu Elder had not received news of Kong Fang's arrival, they still had some curiosity in their hearts and wanted to know what kind of refining material Kong Fang would obtain. After all, the materials for refining a quasi-spirit treasure and those for refining a low-grade postnatal spirit treasure were different.

  When the two saw the refining materials prepared by Mu Xingzong for Kong Fang, both of their eyes widened suddenly, and they were all stunned. The refining materials that Kong Fang received turned out to be exactly the same as theirs.

  "Was I seeing things just now?" The young man in the green robe turned his head to look at his companion, but found that his companion was also looking incredulous.

  Kong Fang obtained the refining material and did not linger on the ground for long, directly entering the underground refining room along the stairs.
