Chapter 79 Weapon Refining
"The Lian Tian Sect, Ling Lan Sect, and Zi Xiao Sect have held the position of the top three sects for over a thousand years."
In the Elder Council Hall of the Lian Tian Sect, the Sect Leader sat on the main seat and said in a deep voice, "The fact that the cultivation world can be renewed and replaced means that there is still vitality in the cultivation world, and there is still hope for us cultivators."
The elders sitting below him remained calm; some nodded in agreement, while others exchanged glances.
The sect leader is right. It's better for the Qingfeng Sect to rise and replace a sect as one of the three upper sects, becoming a trendsetter for cultivators, than for the cultivation world to remain stagnant.
Moreover, even if the Qingfeng Sect is about to replace a sect in the top three sects, that sect is unlikely to be their Liantian Sect.
In recent years, whether it's their performance in cultivation competitions or the quality of their disciples, the Zixiao Sect has been on a downward trend.
The ones who should be panicking now are the Purple Cloud Sect.
Within the Linglan Sect, the sect leader and elders shared the same thought.
Within the Zixiao Sect, the elders also realized this and were indeed quite worried.
Because of the venue for the cultivation competition, the Zixiao Sect was dissatisfied with the Qingfeng Sect, and later there was some unpleasantness during the competition.
Regardless of what the Qingfeng Sect members thought, the Zixiao Sect secretly regarded the Qingfeng Sect as a rival.
It's a mystery how the Qingfeng Sect was so fortunate. Six thousand years ago, it was trusted by the Boundless God and entrusted with the important task of protecting the Xuanling Immortal Mountain. Six thousand years later, thanks to the new master of the Xuanling Immortal Mountain, it gradually rose from a fallen sect.
Sect Leader Xuanxiao sighed, "It's all about timing and fate."
He and the vice sect leader stood atop a mountain in the Zixiao Sect, overlooking the entire sect.
Unlike the elders' deep concern, the disciples remained carefree, practicing martial arts and cultivating their skills as usual.
The deputy sect leader clenched his fist and frowned, saying, "The people from the Heavenly Sect and the Spiritual Wave Sect are so calm. They must all think that our Purple Cloud Sect will be replaced by the Clear Wind Sect, right?"
"It's just replacing our position among the top three sects," Xuanxiao comforted him. "It won't destroy our Zixiao Sect."
The deputy headmaster loosened his fist, and his shoulders slumped slightly.
“Senior brother, you seem to have a very open-minded attitude,” he said.
Xuanxiao smiled and shook his head: "I just expected this day would come and was mentally prepared."
Then, he sighed and advised, "This is probably a test for us old folks. Don't get too caught up in your obsessions."
As for whether the deputy sect leader listened or not, he no longer cared.
...
The lotus roots in the pond are ripe.
After harvesting the mountain god's antlers, Li Chang'an started a live stream and sold off a large quantity of vegetables and lotus roots he had collected.
There are still hundreds of thousands of orders; the kites are keeping busy.
Looking at the stacks of white express delivery slips, Li Chang'an fell into deep thought.
After the cultivation of the Immortal Rice, the Spirit Kites also developed an interest in breeding. However, it takes a year for a Spirit Kite to carry an egg, and incubation requires a large amount of spiritual energy. It takes at least three months for the chicks to hatch, and it will take several years for the chicks to grow up enough to deliver packages.
Therefore, it is estimated that for a long time, Li Chang'an will only have 26,000 spirit kites for delivery.
Hundreds of thousands of orders is the limit that these spirit kites can deliver, and it will take three days to complete the delivery.
We need to think of other ways to deliver packages and reduce the pressure on the kites.
It took three days to ship this time.
On the evening of the third day, the kites returned and frolicked on the banks of the Ningjing River.
Li Chang'an watched from afar, pondered for a long time, and then sent a message to Xie Kuling, asking to borrow a food storage box to observe.
This food storage box has only about ten cubic meters of space, which is enough to keep food fresh. Like a storage bag, it cannot hold live animals.
After observing for a moment, Li Chang'an inquired about the crafting method for the food storage box from the basic manual.
The golden particle in the basic manual quickly provided the relevant answer:
【Preservation Box】: A magic artifact-level item made from ordinary refining materials and spatial array diagrams, with a relatively small space.
Spiritual artifacts are crafted from high-grade or higher refining materials and spatial array diagrams, and have a relatively large space.
The Qingfeng Sect's food storage box is only at the level of a magical artifact.
The golden particles were still floating, seemingly aware that Li Chang'an still needed to store living things, and then they provided the method for refining a spiritual artifact:
【Spirit Mustard】: It is made from top-tier weapon-refining materials, spatial array diagrams, and spirit-gathering talismans. Its shape is determined by the weapon embryo and it can hold living creatures.
Li Chang'an stared at the rows of golden characters in front of him.
The materials required for the Freshness Storage Box and the Spirit Mustard are similar, but they are completely different things. The difference may only lie in the small steps during the refining process.
Li Chang'an was somewhat unsure.
"You want to refine a weapon?" Tianxuan walked over and glanced at it.
“Yes.” Li Chang’an nodded. “There aren’t many Spirit Kite Birds, so I think we still need to use manpower.”
"Human delivery will definitely be slower than bird delivery, but with food storage containers, there's no need to worry about the vegetables being damaged."
Tianxuan nodded in agreement, and then said, "Weapon refining requires a refining furnace. I know a weapon refiner. If you need it, I can ask her to lend you her refining furnace."
The better the quality of the refining furnace, the higher the grade of the magical artifacts and spiritual artifacts that will be refined.
Li Chang'an nodded quickly: "If possible, could she guide me on how to forge weapons?"
He scratched the back of his head: "Although the basic manual will explain things in great detail, you still need a teacher to supervise you on the details."
Tianxuan readily agreed: "Of course."
Li Chang'an was relieved.
But in the next second, he suddenly remembered that the last time Tianxuan said she would help him find a team to make a vegetable selling website, the team she found was the top-notch Qishun.
Could this weapon refiner also be a top figure in the industry...?
The following day, Yao Guang Xingjun, a member of the Seven Stars of the Alliance, stood at the entrance of the bamboo forest on Xuanling Immortal Mountain.
Li Chang'an: "..."
"Yaoguang is currently at the third level of the Golden Core stage. She is very skilled in alchemy and weapon crafting, and she also possesses a unique fire. The pills, magic weapons, and spiritual artifacts she refines are all of very high quality," Tianxuan introduced.
He truly is a top figure in the weapon refiner industry.
"Uh, hello, Star Lord." Li Chang'an came back to his senses and clasped his hands in greeting.
Yao Guang looked like a girl in her teens. She put her hands on her hips, sized up Li Chang'an a few times, and waved her hand: "No need for these formalities. Is it you who wants to learn weapon crafting?"
"Yes, I want to refine a preservation box and some spirit mustard. Please guide me, Star Lord." Li Chang'an nodded.
His attitude was very sincere, which surprised Yao Guang.
She had never met Li Chang'an, nor did she pay attention to those things online. She spent her days refining pills and crafting weapons within the Alliance Palace.
The first time I heard the name Li Chang'an was when Yuheng said that this person had inherited the Xuanling Immortal Mountain.
Now that Li Chang'an's cultivation level is much higher than hers, and he also has the divine sword Li'e to back him up, Yao Guang thought that no matter what, Li Chang'an shouldn't treat her like this.
The result was unexpected.
Yao Guang was a little embarrassed and scratched her head, saying, "Okay, you don't need to be polite. Just ask me anything you want to know, and I'll tell you everything."
Li Chang'an nodded and led her home.
Refining weapons is not something that can be done in a day or two, so he prepared a room for Yao Guang to stay in for a while.
Yao Guang didn't care about the living conditions, and once she got to the living room, she started talking to Li Chang'an about weapon crafting.
"Although the function of the food storage box is similar to that of the storage bag, the storage bag can be made directly using the spatial array diagram, while the food storage box needs to be forged using the refining furnace."
"Spiritual mustard is actually the carrier of the mustard seed space. Its appearance can be made into various shapes. In the past, cultivators liked to make it into rings, necklaces, or bracelets." It is both decorative and practical.
Spiritual mustard can be upgraded. Although it is just a spiritual artifact, as it progresses from grade one to grade nine, it will have more and more functions. Grade nine spiritual mustard can even be used to grow spiritual flowers and herbs, raise spiritual beasts, and create a paradise space.
For this reason, the spirit mustard requires a large amount of spiritual energy, so a spirit-accumulating talisman is needed when refining it.
Yao Guang casually mentioned it, then added, "By the way, Lingjie needs top-tier weapon-refining materials, and the Cultivation Alliance doesn't have many of them left these days."
She wanted Li Chang'an to be mentally prepared that exchanging top-tier weapon-refining materials in the Cultivation Alliance would come at a considerable cost.
However, just as she finished speaking, she heard Li Chang'an say, "I have top-notch refining materials."
"Huh?" Yao Guang's eyes widened.
Li Chang'an took out the piece of Xuan Tang wood that Xuan Tang had given him from his storage bag: "Is this alright?"
The Xuan Tang wood floated in mid-air, emitting a green light, and a warm and healing power seemed to slowly flow from it.
Yao Guang was frozen in place.
After a moment, she raised her hand to cover her eyes: "Take it back quickly, my eyes are red."
"Huh?" Li Chang'an was stunned, but he still subconsciously put away the Xuan Tang wood.
Noticing that the Xuan Tang wood was gone, Yao Guang lowered her hand, her eyes slightly red: "It's such a waste to use that kind of material to refine the spirit mustard!"
She took a deep breath: "That branch you just used must have come from a high-grade spiritual plant that is close to the immortal grade. It contains the spiritual essence of that plant. This kind of refining material is suitable for forging weapons, and can even be used to forge immortal artifacts."
The final products of weapon crafting are divided into magical artifacts, spiritual artifacts, immortal artifacts, and divine artifacts.
However, spiritual energy is scarce in the Cangxuan Realm, which also leads to a shortage of refining materials. Nowadays, only a very small number of weapon refiners can forge spiritual weapons.
Therefore, the allure of that Xuan Tang wood to a weapon refiner was not to be underestimated; if she hadn't known she couldn't win, she would have wanted to snatch it.
But I just can't beat them!
Li Chang'an also didn't understand why the Xuan Tang wood was so powerful.
He was stunned for a moment, not expecting that Senior Xuan Tang Tree would give him such a big gift just because of the Ningjing River water.
After expressing his gratitude, he added, "There is also a top-grade material for refining weapons in the Xuanling Immortal Mountain."
After Li Chang'an finished speaking, he led Yao Guang to the top of Wolu Mountain.
"These are purple jade bamboo, which can be used as materials for refining weapons, pills, and medicines."
He doesn't come to see these purple jade bamboos often, and this time when he came, he found that there were several bamboo shoots on the ground.
Li Chang'an was overjoyed and quickly squatted down to examine the bamboo shoots carefully.
The bamboo shoots also have purple husks with fine hairs.
Each bamboo shoot had only grown a section, which looked to be only about the length of his forearm. But even from this emerging section, you could tell that the whole bamboo shoot was plump and would eventually grow into a large bamboo with a diameter of nearly 20 centimeters.
He counted them and found there were about ten bamboo shoots, more than the existing purple jade bamboo.
Once these bamboo shoots grow, there will be ten more purple jade bamboos.
Li Chang'an was overjoyed, and he couldn't stop smiling.
Beside him, Yao Guang also looked at the eight purple jade bamboos in front of her with shining eyes.
She touched it; the bamboo felt like jade, with a lustrous sheen, and a light sniff revealed a fresh and delicate bamboo fragrance.
A single purple jade bamboo has about thirty-five sections, and each section can be used as a material for refining weapons.
Yao Guang's hands began to tremble.
Great materials! Superb materials!
Li Chang'an stood up from the ground and asked, "Star Lord, can this be used to refine a food preservation box and spirit mustard?"
Yao Guang took a deep breath and said, "More than enough to make a freshness preservation box."
It's even a bit wasteful.
"Perfect for refining spirit mustard!"
"Furthermore," Yao Guang looked at Li Chang'an excitedly, "with this, I can also help you forge a spirit boat!"
