Chapter 114: Armor? Clothes?

  It's really arrogant. One thing hasn't even been refined into a magic treasure, and he dares to guarantee that someone can pass the heavenly tribulation. The spirit of the seniors is indeed what we refiners admire." Mu Rongyu's tone was full of sarcasm, which couldn't be more obvious. However, Sun Ming pretended to be the Ming Xin True Person, and his performance was quite elegant.

  "What's the point of guarantees? I still have some self-awareness. Don't want to be with those messy guys. Obviously, they're a bunch of trash. Still talking about forming an alliance. How ridiculous. Ridiculous!"

  "You." Murong Yu's eyes were about to lose control and rush over. But the other person really had some "ninja turtle" potential in controlling emotions. Just like a fire that was extinguished in an instant, his chest, which had been fluctuating with anger, quickly returned to normal.

  "Since that's the case, let's get started then. Let me see what kind of treasure can guarantee a cultivator's safe passage through the tribulation." Mu Rong Zhan Yu's words somewhat disappointed Sun Ming. After all, he had been hoping that Mu Rong Zhan Yu would charge over and he could directly kill him off. That way, this trip's mission would be completed ahead of schedule. But unexpectedly, Mu Rong Zhan Yu was able to endure.

  Sun Ming received a storage ring from that Tribulation Period cultivator and asked immediately.

  "What is the origin of the layout of the lower path? Where did it come from? What kind of Dharma is being refined?"

  "Ah, Junior War Cloud is shocked. He's a cultivator who has entered the Dao through martial arts, and can be considered a Body Refiner." War Cloud's response caused another stir among the crowd of cultivators, and also left Sun Ming slightly astonished.

  It's worth noting that Body Refiners are extremely rare among cultivators, to the point where there was once a saying that if a cultivator were to accidentally encounter a Body Refiner, they would be ecstatic for a long time. However, this is not because Body Refiners are particularly powerful or rare, but rather because they are the most pitiful existence among cultivators.

  There is no such thing as a Body Refining sect in the cultivation world, and almost all Body Refiners are martial artists from the mortal realm who have reached the pinnacle of martial arts and entered the Dao. Although this type of person has a much deeper understanding of the Heavenly Dao than other types of cultivators, they lack a complete cultivation system.

  As a result, Body Refiners rarely live long lives. Unlike other cultivators who die due to failure in their tribulation, almost all Body Refiners die from old age. Because they lack a complete cultivation system, they spend most of their time searching for a way to transcend their mortality.

  Even among cultivators, time is limited, and the current tribulation period Body Refiner can be said to be one of the last of his kind.

  "They're really a perfect match. One is not necessarily an alchemy master, and the other is the most useless cultivator in the cultivation world. They're truly made for each other." Sun Ming suddenly felt like he was reunited with Ling Xing again. Why do all the disciples of this Alchemy Union love to kick people when they're down? It seems like they can't survive without bullying others.

  "I really don't know how you were taught. Haven't I told you before? Everything in the world has its reason for existence, remember that nothing is useless. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. You truly have a shallow perspective." Sun Ming said with annoyance.

  "I won't argue with you here either. I'd rather see what you can come up with to get this body through the heavenly tribulation safely." Murong Yu seemed to be waiting for Sun Ming's joke, and even brought a stool from behind, poured himself a cup of tea, and sat there leisurely watching Sun Ming without saying a word.

  "Senior, you're in a difficult situation. I know that crossing the Heavenly Tribulation is originally an unthinkable thing for others. We can't use any formulas or borrow from any cultivation systems, only constantly changing combat techniques. But these combat techniques are really no match for the Tribulation Lightning. Ah, Senior, if you retreat now, it's still possible. The treasure I used to safely cross the Heavenly Tribulation is estimated to be something that even a large sect wouldn't necessarily be able to refine. I don't want to implicate you." Zhan Yun's words were filled with desolation, loneliness, and a hint of sorrow.

  Ti Xiu's decline to this point shocked Sun Ming greatly. Because in his mind, he had already imprinted several body-refining techniques. A few of them could even be cultivated to directly attain the Hu Yuan Dao Guo. For example, the Eight-Nine Technique he was currently using to change his physical form.

  These profound techniques have reached an extreme level. The powerful methods of the few points' skill. Haven't they been passed down? Sun Ming was puzzled. Since we are in the same world, why haven't these skills been passed down? Even the lowest-level Five Elements Escape Technique hasn't been passed down. In his own cultivation that had received the inheritance of Yun Zhongzi's master...

  Here is the translation:

  "This cultivation realm in front of me is like playing a child's game. No technical content. It seems that all the skills have not been passed down. The current skills are just like a process of constantly accumulating energy. The only difference is that when absorbing external energy, the running route is different. This also leads to the differences between different schools and classics."

  "Heh heh. In this cultivation world, there's no one who understands body refinement better than me. You can rest assured. If the magical treasure I refine can't even protect you from passing the tribulation smoothly, then going to find someone else would be useless."

  "Could it be that you're also...?" Zhan Yun looked at Sun Ming with surprise and curiosity, as if observing whether Sun Ming was of the same physique as himself.

  "Don't be suspicious anymore. Although I'm not a body refiner, I understand your group very well. So you can rest assured now. The thing that Lao Fu has refined for you will absolutely exceed your imagination." Sun Ming's voice contained endless power, and War Cloud, who felt this power, had his severe doubts disappear, replaced by boundless trust.

  Sun Ming took out the storage ring that Zhan Yun had passed to him. He didn't even look at it, and directly poured out the things inside the storage ring.

  Heavenly Golden Sand, Stellar Iron, Dense Jade Silver... The materials were indeed abundant. However, Sun Ming hadn't thought of what to refine. After all, it was a treasure refining method that guaranteed his safe passage through the tribulation... It was really difficult. Slowly, Sun Ming sat down there, closing his eyes. He was thinking. This might be the most difficult thing Sun Ming had ever encountered in his life.

  "It's indeed like that. Dragging out time, I suppose."

  "This guy is all bark and no bite. Hmph, he's come to our Alliance to stir up trouble. He's really asking for it. Pass the word down, if he makes even the slightest move, kill him on the spot." Murong Jiu Yu said to his subordinate beside him.

  Just when the dog legs of the Instrument Repair Alliance couldn't wait to take action, Sun Ming's eyes, who had been sitting cross-legged and holding onto his origin, suddenly opened. A fierce aura instantly filled the entire main hall. And those eager dog legs of the Instrument Repair Alliance retreated in disarray.

  Sun Ming's hands were placed in front of his chest, waving the spell. A white flame appeared in front of everyone. Suddenly, the bustling crowd quieted down. Many people covered their mouths with their hands because they were shocked and opened them wide.

  "Skyfire?" Murong Zhenyu's jaw almost dropped. A master can tell at a glance whether it's real or not. As a fellow refiner, Murong Yu naturally understood what this meant. A Grandmaster-level expert was right in front of him, and to make matters worse, he was also a refiner. Even the worst Grandmaster-level refiner would be at least an eight-star refiner. After all, Skyfire was proof of one's strength.

  If the heavenly fire just now was an appetizer before a meal, then what is presented to everyone now is a sumptuous feast. Along with Sun Ming's changing hands, one material after another flew into the spiritual fire. A full-body armor gradually appeared in front of everyone.

  From head to toe, almost every inch of his body was covered. But what puzzled everyone was that this armor was as thin as a cicada's wing. The layer on the chest could see through to the back.

  Everyone present was puzzled. After all, this armor is so thin that it can't be anything but a Yuan Ying Xin Jia. However, the size of the piece in front of them clearly didn't match War Cloud's; it should be real armor, not a Yuan Ying Xin Jia. What's the point of this? It made all the present refiners puzzled. Such thin armor couldn't withstand extremely powerful attacks, let alone the power of Tian Jie Lei.

  However, they apparently did not understand Sun Ming's meaning. Sun Ming was still constantly changing his techniques. Those with some knowledge of alchemy in the audience were whispering to each other, discussing their own doubts.

  "What's this guy brewing up? Have you ever seen such a strange armor?" asked the Cultivator A in puzzlement.

  "What a piece of armor. It's just a piece of clothing, after all. It just looks a bit strange. I think this guy must have been kicked in the head by a donkey. To give Tian Jie's physical refinement technique treasure and actually refine a piece of clothing. I thought a refiner who could use heavenly fire would be amazing. Looks like it's nothing special after all. What a pity that heavenly fire was wasted."

  But nobody noticed that the armor they jokingly called "clothing" was changing in the flames. One by one, patterns slowly crawled onto the armor, adding a touch of eeriness and seductiveness to it.

  It's just that such details that can determine the outcome are destined to be forgotten. Even Yun Jing, who was asked by Sun Ming to refine the treasure, began to worry. After all, this thing is too strange.
