  The little fox saw that Ye Chen didn't mention the name change again, so it put away its small paws and continued, "Since I can remember, I have been the instrument spirit of this immortal mansion. I am unable to leave this immortal mansion and have never seen any other people. Also, in recent days, I often see herbs appearing out of thin air in the medicine garden on the island, consuming a lot of the immortal mansion's spiritual energy. As the instrument spirit, I am one with the immortal island. When the island's spiritual energy is abundant, I can wake up; when the spiritual energy weakens, I fall asleep."

  "Herbs?"

  Ye Chen thought for a moment, the herbs that Xiao Hu Li mentioned should be the Tempering and Qi-Blood Grass that he had brought in some time ago for warriors to cultivate their bodies.

  Ye Chen looked at him in surprise and asked, "Haven't you seen the cultivator who refined this immortal island?"

  "I've never seen anyone before, except for you showing up on this island."

  The little fox was also very strange, and then it thought seriously and said, "However, what you said is also right. There are houses on this island, so someone must have built them, but I don't know who."

  "What can this fairy island do?"

  Ye Chen thought for a moment and asked a most crucial question.

  "This immortal mansion is a Qi-refining level artifact, and I'm also at the Qi-refining level as an artifact spirit. This island has only one mu of medicinal land, which can only produce low-grade spiritual medicine. The Dan-refining Pavilion and Artifact-refining Pavilion can refine Qi-refining level spiritual pills and artifacts. The beast enclosure can only raise low-grade spiritual beasts at the Qi-refining level. Of course, if there's more primordial energy, this immortal mansion can also upgrade its grade. There's still a lot of empty space on the island, perhaps we can build other structures, which has a direct relationship with the mansion's grade."

  "How did you know so clearly, even knowing what kind of spiritual instrument can be refined in the Refining Pavilion?"

  Ye Chen exclaimed in surprise.

  "I am the spiritual essence, one with the immortal mansion. What this immortal mansion can do, I naturally know."

  Xiao Qing said in a bad mood, "The role of the instrument spirit is to help the master guard the immortal mansion when the master is not around. Also, if you want to refine the elixir or instrument, just tell me and I'll do it for you. As an instrument spirit, I can control the operation of the immortal mansion and help you get things done. Of course, operating the immortal mansion requires consuming spiritual energy, without which nothing can be done."

  "Oh!"

  Ye Chen nodded slightly, roughly understanding what was going on.

  Ye Chen's divine consciousness flew around the immortal island in a circle, observing all directions and understanding the situation of the immortal mansion.

  He came to the pharmacy.

  "What kind of divine medicine can be grown in this small plot of medicinal herbs?!"

  "Spirit grass absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to grow, as long as it gets enough spiritual energy, it's fine, and it grows very quickly. It's just that this mu of medicinal field is of a very low grade, with thin spiritual energy, and can only grow first to third-grade spirit medicine. Higher-grade spirit medicine cannot be grown. Special spirit medicine also requires special soil."

  "Oh!"

  Ye Chen arrived at a small wooden hut on the island.

  On the small wooden house, the two characters "Xian Fu" were written.

  Ye Chen's mind stirred slightly, and the small wooden door opened. He entered the small wooden house in the immortal mansion and took a look around. However, he did not find anything unusual.

  "Xiao Qing, what's the use of this wooden house?"

  "I'm also unclear what this small wooden house can do. This is the place where the master of the immortal mansion lives, the master can enter, I cannot enter."

  Ye Chen again wandered around a Dan-refining pavilion, a tool-refining pavilion, and a beast enclosure on the Immortal Island.

  They are all low-rise buildings with some simple facilities.

  Alchemist's Pavilion

  Inside this crucible pavilion, there is a four-cornered bronze crucible tripod, and under the furnace tripod, there is a small flame.

  "This bronze refining cauldron is a spiritual artifact of very low grade. It can be exchanged for a better one, but before that, the grade of the immortal mansion must be upgraded. If the immortal mansion is only at the refining qi level, it cannot accommodate stronger artifacts."

  "How does this Refining Pavilion refine equipment?"

  "Need blueprints for spiritual devices and mineral raw materials!"

  Ye Chen put away "Refining Foundation", "Mystic Iron Knife Diagram" and ten portions of Mystic Iron ore fine sand materials into the immortal mansion, handing them over to Xiao Qing for processing.

  Xiao Qing quickly glanced at the "Refining Foundation" and the "Mystic Iron Knife Diagram". It was a ball of yuan spirit, and with just one sweep of her divine sense, she could finish reading the vast amount of content inside, extremely quickly.

  Xiao Qing began refining her instrument.

  Ye Chen watched from the side as he observed Xiao Qing refining equipment. He had originally thought about doing it himself, but since he could use the immortal mansion to refine equipment, it would save him a lot of effort.

  Xiao Qing blew a breath of air, and the small flame under the cauldron roared to life, burning fiercely. Although the flame was small, it was extremely hot, and the cauldron was scorched bright red.

  Xiao Qing slowly poured a small amount of fine sand from a large package of xuan tie mine stone material into the furnace, funnel-like.

  The Xuan Tie fine sand that fell into the furnace began to melt under the scorching flames, gradually melting into a liquid. Just smelting the large package of Xuan Tie ore fine sand took nearly several hours of time.

  Next, Xiao Qing followed the diagram of Xuan Tie Dao, waved his hand and pointed, the furnace鼎 inside **flew up**, condensed into a knife shape in mid-air, gradually cooling down. After nearly a day's work, he refined a low-grade spiritual instrument - Xuan Tie Dao, with exactly the same style as the diagram.

  Xiao Qing was refining equipment in the Refining Pavilion at the same time, the light of the immortal mansion also began to gradually dim. Equipment refinement consumes the immortal mansion's mana.

  Ye Chen's expression was one of surprise, Xiao Qing had learned how to refine equipment so quickly! He stood there motionless, staring.

  After the Xuan Iron Sword cooled down.

  Ye Chen took a closer look, but shook his head in disappointment. "There are at least dozens of fine cracks on the surface of this Xuan Iron Knife. According to the diagram, the more fine cracks there are, the lower the durability of the knife will be, and it's extremely easy to break. This one is a defective product, no one would buy it."

  Xiao Qing's eyes suddenly turned red, and after a day of hard work, she had finally succeeded in refining a spiritual sword. But instead of praise, she was scolded. She couldn't help but argue back, "The success rate of refining equipment is originally not high. Moreover, the quality of this Refining Pavilion's furnace is low, with a success rate of less than 10%. It's normal for nine out of ten spiritual instruments to be scrapped, and it's even possible that not a single one can be refined."

  "Is Chen Gong's efficiency really this low? Is there no way to improve it?"

  "According to the 'Refining Foundation', my current refining level is only equivalent to that of a Refining Child, to increase the success rate, I must refine a large quantity! When I become a Refining Apprentice, the success rate of refining will be slightly higher, reaching around 20%!"

  Ye Chen was worried, looking at the useless Xuan Iron knife in his hand, and said helplessly, "But my ten pieces of mineral raw materials were borrowed from others. I must refine two Xuan Iron knives to pay off the material fee. If I can refine three or more, I will get one piece of Ling Stone as labor cost for each one. If I fail to refine it, I will owe others a debt."

  Xiao Qing's face lit up with a smile, "The defective Xuan Tie knife can be melted down and re-refined into an Xuan Tie ingot, then re-forged! Even if the success rate is less than 10%, repeated refinement will eventually yield an Xuan Tie knife!"

  "Can waste materials still be decomposed?"

  Ye Chen's eyes suddenly lit up.

  Xiao Qing said with a smile, "Of course, the raw materials of the ore will not be wasted. This is not like refining spiritual medicine, where waste products cannot be used again. However, decomposing the discarded Xuan Tie knife requires a large amount of spiritual energy."

  "Alright, you refine these ten raw materials first!"

  Ye Chen thought to himself that he had just received his wages, and apart from paying the rent, he still had two pieces of spiritual stone left over, which gave him some confidence. These two pieces of spiritual stone should be able to last for a while.

  The Xianfu's Lianqi Pavilion has a low-grade furnace, and the refining level of Qing'er, the furnace spirit, is still that of a Refining Child. He doesn't have many extravagant hopes now, as long as he can break even, it's fine. Once Qing'er becomes an apprentice refiner, she'll be able to start earning money for him.
