Chapter 117: The Robe of the Thundercloud Immortal

  "After crossing the tribulation, come to Nanhuaxing Huayunpai to find me. At that time, you will have another TTT power. The hardships and sufferings you have gone through in cultivating your body to its current state are known to this old man. Although this ritual robe can protect you from harm and allow you to pass the heavenly tribulation safely, do not be careless. Remember my words: the danger of crossing the tribulation and ascending to immortality is not something that can be explained in a few words." Sun Ming helped War Cloud Sheng up, who was about to kneel down to thank him, and transmitted his voice.

  "Senior." War Cloud was about to ask, but was interrupted by Sun Ming's gaze, and the sound of his voice echoed in his mind.

  "Heh heh, I still have something to attend to, so I won't be able to watch you get blocked. Don't mention the matter of going to Nan Hua Xing to others, but if you want to bring some physical repairs with you, that's fine too. Just make sure to bring some trustworthy ones." Sun Ming smiled and helped War Cloud Shock up.

  In the grand hall of this ruined Qiwu Union branch, a thunderous applause suddenly erupted. This was the heartfelt applause from those cultivators, as Sun Ming had just shown them the demeanor that a true master craftsman should have, and the birth of an exquisite and unparalleled immortal artifact. Almost everyone was applauding, including some disciples of the Qiwu Union, who were staring at Mu Rong Zhan's face with envy, which was deathly pale.

  "Master, since it's a magical artifact refined by you, shouldn't it have a name?" A voice that seemed to come from behind the ruins suddenly received a response from the cultivators present.

  "Ah, hehe, let me think for a moment. Naming something is a very serious matter. Let's just call it 'Lei Yun Xian Yi' (Thunder Cloud Immortal Robe). What do you all think?" Sun Ming said with a smile. In fact, he hadn't really researched the name of the treasure at all. Just now, he almost said "Zi Shou Xian Yi" (Purple Ribbon Immortal Robe), but then thought that there was no purple color, and since he saw the thunderclouds in the sky had not yet dispersed, he hastily said "Lei Yun Xian Yi".

  "Haha, brilliant, really brilliant. Since this robe is for the lucky Body Refiner to pass the Heavenly Tribulation, calling it 'Thundercloud Immortal Robe' is indeed most fitting." One person's explanation made Sun Ming slightly stunned, he didn't think that his casually chosen song name could make them come up with such a suitable explanation, really...

  "Alright, I'll be staying on this planet for a while longer. If any of you need to refine any magical artifacts, just let me know and I'll satisfy your requests as long as time permits." Sun Ming completely ignored the grinding teeth of Murong Zhenyu beside him, and cheerfully spoke to a cultivator.

  The words had just fallen when a burst of thunderous applause erupted, and the crowd of cultivators rushed to Sun Ming's side in a flurry, filling up the large empty space that had been cleared due to the tribulation in an instant.

  "Master, I have all the materials ready, help me refine them first. I want to refine a flying sword."

  "What's going on? I was the one who arrived at Master's place first, why did you get to refine the flying sword first? Master, my materials are all double portions, please help me refine them first. I only need one attacking treasure, and the remaining materials will be given to Master."

  "What kind of person is the master? Still coveting that little bit of material. Master, look at this. This is a demon beast's inner elixir with nearly a thousand years of cultivation. I hope the master will accept it."

  One after another, such voices kept coming to Sun Ming's ears. One after another, flattering, requesting, and even pleading voices. The exorbitant fees charged by the Instrument Repair Alliance were not something that every cultivator could afford. However, magical instruments were a must-have for cultivators. That was why Sun Ming appeared as an instrument repair master, and he even did it for free. Naturally, this attracted almost all of the cultivators to flock around him.

  "Cough, cough. Everyone be quiet for a moment. Be quiet."

  "Sun Ming shouted. After all, so many people are crowded together. If it goes on like this, maybe no one will be able to refine it in the end."

  As expected, Sun Ming's appeal was still enormous. As soon as the words fell, the originally bustling and noisy crowd immediately quieted down. The crowd looked at Sun Ming with hopeful eyes.

  "I understand everyone's feelings, but after all, we are still on someone else's turf. In the workshop of the Equipment Repair Union. I'm suggesting that you refine equipment, isn't this a bit too much?" Sun Ming said, pausing intentionally here. He turned his head to glance at the already enraged and expressionless crowd from the Equipment Repair Union, giving them an extremely brilliant apologetic smile.

  "In my opinion, let's go outside instead. When I arrived just now, I found a large square in front of us, which is perfect for refining things. What do you all think?" Sun Ming said with a smile.

  "Of course, whatever the master says goes, we all listen to the master." Apparently, the level of refining the immortal artifact had made everyone thoroughly convinced of him, and as soon as he finished speaking, the crowd automatically gave way to a path two people wide for him.

  "Gentlemen, since it has come to this..."

  "Alright." Sun Ming cupped his hands and said to the crowd of cultivators from the Xiu Alliance, then walked out under the escort.

  The usually bustling main hall of the Qirenyuan branch of the Equipment Repair Alliance was now eerily quiet, with a kind of awkwardness hanging in the air as cultivators looked at each other uncertainly.

  "Make sure to restore this place to its original state before I return." Murong Jiyu sternly said to his subordinates behind him. Looking at the broken wall, he felt a kind of unspoken suffocation in his heart, being humiliated and unable to fight back, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?

  "I wonder where Master wants to go?" A cultivator who seemed to be the second-in-command asked in a low voice, as if afraid of offending Mu Rong Zhan Yu.

  "The cultivation world has suddenly produced a master-level artifact refiner that our Artifact Refining Alliance was unaware of, and it seems to have hostile intentions towards us. This is an important matter that I should report to the seniors at the alliance headquarters. You people, can't you think things through before asking? Not everything needs to be asked about, some things are simple if you just take a moment to consider them, understand?" Mu Rong Zhan Yu's words were laced with a hint of hysteria, which was unusual for his normally calm demeanor.

  "Alright, I'm leaving. Keep an eye on that guy's activities for the next few days and make sure to remember every single detail, no matter how small. Hmph, when I get back, it'll be the day I take care of him. He dares to be so arrogant in our Qirepair Union's branch, he's really asking for trouble." Murong Zhenyu grumbled as he walked out.

  Since the destruction of Qī Líng Zōng by the Qì Xiū Lián Méng and Shèng Méng, Pò Yán Xīng has replaced Yún Yuān Xīng as the place with the highest density of alchemists in the Xiū Zhēn Jiè. The reason is none other than that the headquarters of the Qì Xiū Lián Méng is located on this planet.

  If the previous one of the Instrument Repair Alliance's other courts can be said to be magnificent, then the palace building group in front of us must make the cultivators who have never seen it before stunned and unable to close their mouths. It seems that this is not a place where cultivators should live in seclusion, but rather a venue for a grand architectural competition. Pavilions, towers, jade halls, and orchid palaces, each building is as dazzling as a peony in full bloom, making it hard for one's eyes to take it all in.

  But here, every cultivator seems to be used to it, only those who come here for the first time through the interstellar transmission array will constantly hear bursts of exclamations from their mouths.

  At this moment, in the most magnificent building among these palace buildings, an old man was throwing a tantrum. The qiong flower fairy wine had been spilled all over the floor, and the fragments of the thousand-year-old jade bottles were scattered everywhere, clearly having been smashed by someone. If Sun Ming saw it, he would definitely curse these guys for their extravagance. After all, the qiong flower fairy wine was almost among the top ten in the fairy wines, yet it had been wasted like this, which was really detestable.

  "Who exactly is it? Is our formation really that vulnerable? The elders inside were killed, and the disciples outside didn't even notice a thing? Hmph, since the destruction of the Qilong Sect, our Qixiu Alliance's disciples have been treated with great respect there. Today you come back and tell me that our elder was killed and the Jinxian Xuan Tie was taken away? Are you joking?" The old man said, slamming down the fragrant cup in his hand, which shattered into pieces on the ground, sparkling brightly but briefly, a fleeting beauty that was also cruelly short-lived.

  "Report to the Alliance Master, I have recorded the scene we felt at that time. Please take a look at it, Alliance Master and elders." The old man handed over a crystal clear crystal from the storage treasure, handing it to the old man who was furious to the extreme.

  The old man didn't catch it with his hand, but instead gently waved it, and the crystal flew to the center of the great hall. A faint glow slowly emanated from within the crystal.

  Faintly visible through the light screen was a cave-like scene, and as the light screen grew brighter, the scene above became fully revealed to everyone.

  It was indeed a mine shaft, and it seemed that no battle had taken place inside the mine shaft because those stone walls were intact and there was no chaos caused by fighting.

  When everyone was confused, two corpses with extremely miserable deaths suddenly appeared in a corner of the cave. The cause of death was astonishingly consistent, both were cut in half directly from the waist, and intestines were still left outside. From one of the corpses, people recognized that it was an elder of the Qixiu Alliance.

  "What about their Yuanying? Could it be that they were killed by the demonic path and didn't even leave behind a Yuanying?" an elder asked in puzzlement.

  "I asked the cultivators who were present at the time of the battle, and it seemed that their primordial spirits were all directly dispersed by a mysterious high-ranking master's treasure. At the time of their death, their primordial spirits didn't even have a chance to escape."
