After issuing the pardon, Shi Mingxiu did not continue to distract Shi Xuan, and stepped back to a distance to observe Shi Xuan's actions.
Before long, all the materials were processed, and then came the most crucial moment: to refine the materials together.
This step requires complete concentration and cannot tolerate the slightest disturbance.
The entire hall, filled with over a hundred people, remained silent, quietly awaiting the final result.
The final refining process lasted a full hour before Shi Xuan finally cast the weapon-collecting incantation.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, a long sword rose from the furnace, gleaming with silver light and extremely sharp.
Disappointingly, the longsword forged this time was only of third-tier quality. Although it was at the very top of the third tier, it still did not reach the fourth tier.
Everyone watching felt a pang of regret, and after a moment of silence, a murmur of discussion arose from the crowd.
"It's such a pity that I was so close to reaching the fourth tier."
"Even a slight difference won't do. Although there's only a fine line between the third and fourth ranks, that's the hardest part. Once you get past that line, the amount of spiritual energy you can mobilize will be completely different."
"Why are you in such a hurry? This is only the first time we've tested a third-tier magic weapon. We succeeded with the first and second tiers before, which means we'll definitely succeed with the third tier as well. We're just waiting to find the right method."
"That's true. The creation of any magical artifact or elixir has gone through countless experiments. This is nothing compared to what's to come."
"Yes, yes, on the very first day we discovered this, we completed the advancement from first-tier to second-tier magic artifacts. Just think about that, how many people can do that!"
...
Unlike the audience, Shi Xuan did not show any emotion at all.
This unexpected joy is enough for today. Shi Xuan didn't have high hopes for whether the third-tier materials could be used to forge a fourth-tier magic weapon.
If this thing were really that easy, how come it took so long for someone to discover it? There are people who are meticulous in crafting artifacts.
Three furnaces of magical artifacts have already been forged, and Shi Xuan has covered most of the basics of artifact forging that he learned from the illusion. The rest depends on their own comprehension and fortune.
Shi Xuan packed up his things and said to the disciples around him, "That's all for today. I've covered most of what I know. You new disciples can take your time to digest it."
The disciples around him all benefited greatly and really didn't want Shi Xuan to leave like this. However, they also knew that it was already very rare to find Shi Xuan to talk for a whole day. Although they were reluctant to part with him, they were too embarrassed to ask him to come again.
Unlike Baicao Peak, Lin Zhengfeng had virtually no disciples who knew her.
Unexpectedly, after Shi Xuan finished packing his things, he said to Lin Zhengfeng's disciples before leaving, "This is where we'll end this time. I'll come back when I return to the sect next time. Consider this an exchange. If you have any new ideas or insights about weapon refining, please compile them so I can learn from them."
"Great!" The disciples were all quite happy and cheerfully made an appointment to come again next time. Although they weren't familiar with Senior Sister Xuan yet, they would definitely become familiar with her after coming a few more times.
This time, Shi Xuan shared all his insights on his breakthrough in weapon crafting with everyone present. As for how many people will succeed, that depends on their individual talents.
The next day was the day to go to Baicao Peak. The disciples of Baicao Peak were already quite familiar with Shi Xuan, after all, Shi Xuan was considered half a member of Baicao Peak.
When Shi Xuan was still in the sect, she would go to Baicao Peak almost every day, but since she left the sect to go on training, she has not returned for a long time.
Before leaving last time, Shi Xuan had already taught Gu Liangce the method of treating the dantian and took him to the Liu family to practice it, so that he could come back and teach the disciples of Baicao Peak.
I came back to see how well they're doing.
Lu Shan was the first to step forward and report: "Senior Sister Shi Xuan, I've almost mastered the method for treating the dantian!"
"Oh? That's possible." If this disciple can truly learn it, it means their control over divine sense has reached an extremely refined level, to the point of being able to use it with ease. From now on, they won't be stuck on the divine sense hurdle in the alchemy process.
"Senior Sister Shi Xuan, don't listen to Senior Brother Lu's nonsense. He's far from good enough. He thinks he's all that, and then he goes to the back mountain every day to catch monsters to practice on, but he's never succeeded!" Zhu Jingchen, standing to the side, mercilessly exposed him, revealing Lu Shan's true colors.
Lu Shan glared at him angrily: "I'm about to succeed! I've been incredibly close to success these last two times!"
“That means it didn’t succeed,” Gu Liangce said. “When it comes to life and death, there’s no such thing as ‘almost’. It’s either life or death.”
Anyway, all the monsters he captured died.
Lu Shan scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said in a low voice, "Then let me put it another way, I've made progress recently."
No one said anything about him.
Zhu Jingchen continued his report: "So far, only Senior Brother Gu has succeeded. We happened to encounter a severely injured cultivator on a mission. His dantian was damaged, and he had given up hope. Senior Brother Gu tried it as a last resort, and unexpectedly, he succeeded!"
The disciples nearby burst into laughter. It was hard to tell whether Zhu Jingchen was praising Senior Brother Gu or mocking him.
Gu Liangce wasn't annoyed and added, "There's no guarantee of success right now; it all depends on luck."
Shi Xuan nodded and said, "That's already very good. If we successfully form our Nascent Soul, then we can be absolutely certain of success."
Speaking of Nascent Soul formation, Gu Liangce had already reached the seventh level of the Golden Core stage. Shi Xuan took out a Nascent Soul Pill and handed it to him, saying, "Take this Nascent Soul Pill for now, and save it for when you form your Nascent Soul."
Gu Liangce reached out and took the jade bottle, only realizing what Xuan was saying a beat too late.
"A Nascent Soul Pill?" Gu Liangce still couldn't believe his ears. A Nascent Soul Pill was a pill that was practically extinct outside. If it appeared outside, Golden Core cultivators would fight tooth and nail for it. Shi Xuan just handed it to him so easily? It was as if he had only handed over a bottle of Rejuvenation Pills.
The small jade bottle in his hand seemed to suddenly become heavier.
"This...this precious pill..." Gu Liangce was speechless for a moment. The item was too valuable. For no reason at all, he had learned the method of dantian treatment and received the Nascent Soul Pill. How could he possibly accept it?
However, he couldn't bring himself to refuse at this moment. The Nascent Soul Pill was the pill he truly wanted, the Dream Pill. Now that he had it in his hands, how could he turn it away?
