Hu Le went to the back hall to cultivate, and the Treasure Offering Heavenly Lord also went into seclusion. He didn't want to fall too far behind Hu Le.
Hu Le has cultivated for thousands of years and advanced his Qi Refining technique to a higher level. He has also mastered several supernatural powers and secret techniques. He took this opportunity to refine the Dragon Tiger Ruyi Scissors and the Tai Su Golden Pearl.
However, after he finished refining these two spiritual treasures, he also realized that he seemed to be lacking a true protective spiritual treasure.
After all, whether it's the Dragon-Tiger Ruyi Scissors or the Tai Su Golden Pearl, they are both offensive magical treasures.
However, he had no experience in refining spiritual treasures, so he planned to refine a few ordinary spiritual treasures first to practice.
As for the materials for refining spiritual treasures, he certainly didn't lack any. When he traveled through the prehistoric world a few years ago, although he didn't search every inch of the land, he still didn't let any good things slip by...
He left the main hall and went to the fire workshop in the Heavenly Palace.
The Fireworks is where the Heavenly Court forges weapons and magical artifacts.
Over the years, everyone in the Heavenly Court has known that His Majesty Taiyi has taken in a disciple named Hu Le. Now that the couple has no children, he is practically equivalent to the Crown Prince.
Moreover, many immortals and gods secretly actually do call him "Crown Prince"...
When he strolled over to the pyrography workshop, many of the pyrography workers stopped what they were doing and bowed to him in greeting.
He didn't put on any airs and greeted everyone in a friendly manner.
Next, he found a fire chamber, came to the furnace, sat cross-legged, and began to try to refine a spiritual treasure with the help of the power of the true fire.
As for the steps and various restrictions, the Taiyi Initial Golden Chapter mentions them somewhat.
He first tried to refine a few small items, but he didn't know if he lacked the aptitude for refining treasures or if he was just unlucky, because two-thirds of them turned out to be failures, which annoyed him.
Damn it! I refuse to believe it!
He took out a pile of innate spiritual materials from the gourd again and continued his efforts, determined to refine a spiritual treasure that could be called a top-grade item.
However, more than a hundred years have passed.
Hu Le sat dejectedly in front of the cauldron, his eyes devoid of light.
Before him lay a pile of strangely shaped, dimly lit magical treasures; needless to say, he had refined another batch of junk.
Do I really lack this talent?
He finally lost his previous confidence. After all, facts speak louder than words, and the pile of rubbish in front of him left no room for self-deception.
well!
He sighed, finally giving up, and picked up the broken magical artifacts scattered all over the ground.
These magical treasures belong to his dark history and must be destroyed quietly. They absolutely cannot be discovered by others, or he'll be a laughingstock for an entire era…
Hu Le left the fire workshop in a sullen mood.
No one dared to say anything when he was around, but now that he's gone, the pyrotechnicians have started gossiping about it.
"Sigh! What's wrong with the Crown Prince? Could it be that his attempt to refine a magical artifact failed?"
"Nonsense! You don't need to say that. Just look at the Crown Prince's expression, everyone can guess it."
"Tell me, what kind of magical treasure did the Crown Prince try to forge that he failed? I remember His Majesty Taiyi was an expert in forging magical treasures. The Crown Prince received His Majesty's true teachings; what kind of magical treasure couldn't he forge?"
"Perhaps the Crown Prince wants to refine an innate spiritual treasure?" someone speculated.
"Ha! How is that possible?" someone else retorted, "You and I are both professionals in this field, don't you know that innate spiritual treasures are basically created by the Great Dao?"
To artificially refine such a thing is extremely difficult. In addition to requiring top-quality innate materials, it also requires the right timing, location, and the favor of the Great Dao.
Therefore, even if the Crown Prince has received His Majesty's true teachings, he is still far from being able to refine innate spiritual treasures..."
After hearing this person's analysis, everyone nodded in agreement.
"Alright! Everyone, stop right there! How could we possibly gossip and spread rumors about someone as important as the Crown Prince!"
At this moment, a palace eunuch came over and stopped the discussion...
...
Having already walked a distance, Hu Le naturally couldn't hear the crowd's discussion. Even if he had, he wouldn't have been angry. Instead, he would have told them: "You all overestimate me. Let alone innate spiritual treasures, even ordinary spiritual treasures are beyond my ability to obtain..."
Now that his plan to refine a magical artifact himself has failed, he will have to find another way to obtain a protective magical artifact.
Back in the palace, Hu Le immediately saw the Treasure Offering Heavenly Lord, who was drinking celestial dew. It turned out that he had also emerged from seclusion.
Upon seeing Hu Le enter the hall, the Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord hurriedly put down his cup and went to greet him.
"Elder brother, you're back... What's wrong? Did something happen to you, brother?"
The Heavenly Lord of Treasures quickly noticed the wisp of sorrow lingering between Hu Le's brows.
"Alas! I do have some difficulties here, and I was just wondering what to do. Now that you have come out of seclusion, why don't you give me some advice?"
They were all his own brothers, so he wasn't afraid that the Heavenly Lord of Offering Treasures would laugh at him, and he also believed that the Heavenly Lord wouldn't spread the word about him.
So he recounted the whole process of refining the protective magic treasure. Of course, he didn't mention the part where he went from being full of confidence to being deeply disappointed, because that would be too embarrassing. He could just experience it for himself.
Even if it's a brother, it's not appropriate to tell him.
"Oh, I see! Actually, it's quite simple! Brother, just go to His Majesty Taiyi and ask him to refine it. After all, throughout the entire Heavenly Palace, no one can surpass his skill in refining treasures!"
The Heavenly Lord of Treasures suppressed a laugh, pretended to think for a moment, and finally gave his suggestion.
He finally realized that he, as the eldest brother, was not omnipotent.
So there are things he's not good at too...
Hu Le, of course, could not guess what the Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord was thinking, but found that the Heavenly Lord's suggestion was quite good.
"Brilliant! You really reminded me!" He lightly patted his forehead with a look of annoyance. "If you hadn't mentioned it, I really wouldn't have thought of that."
It wasn't that he couldn't think of this, but Taiyi held too much power in his heart. In addition, he knew that Taiyi usually had to deal with the affairs of the Heavenly Court and the God Clan, as well as cultivate and seek the proof of Hunyuan. Time was very precious to him.
If he had no other choice, he really wouldn't want to bother this cheap teacher...
Now that the topic had come up, he could no longer sit still. So he told Xianbao Tianju what to do and went straight to see Taiyi.
Unfortunately, Taiyi was in seclusion at the time, so he went to the Jade Pool Immortal Palace to see the Golden Virtue Heavenly Empress.
Empress Jin De did not go into seclusion for spiritual practice; upon learning that he requested an audience, she immediately allowed him in.
After meeting Hu Le, Empress Jin De asked him a few warm words and tested his cultivation. Finally, she asked him why he had come.
Hu Le naturally stated his requirements.
After hearing this, Empress Jin De laughed and said, "It will be difficult for your teacher to make a move in the short term. This time, he may not emerge from seclusion for ten thousand years. If you can wait, then you might as well go see him ten thousand years later."
"this!"
Hu Le hesitated for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Since Master is too busy, aren't you still here, Master's Wife? Why don't you lend your disciple a hand..."
Jin Detian said with some difficulty, "Alas, my disciple! It's not that your master's wife doesn't want to help you, it's just that your master's wife is also very busy lately, and I'm afraid she doesn't have the time."
"How about this? You shouldn't even think about refining it yourself. I happen to have a spiritual treasure here. Although it's not at the innate level, it's quite profound in terms of defense."
As she spoke, Empress Jinde turned to the Heavenly Maiden Miaoyin beside her and gave her an instruction. The Heavenly Maiden then turned and went to the back hall.
Before long, she returned carrying a magical treasure...
