Chapter 473 Forging Treasures (1)
During this period, Gu Qingqing and Ji Zhuangjian returned to the Danxue Mountains one after the other. They did not stay for long. After advancing to the Emperor level and stabilizing their realm, they hurriedly returned to Xizhou.
During their return, Ji Rong was knocked unconscious by the chaotic airflow after the explosion while personally testing the stability of the spatial inscription path, and therefore did not see them.
After Ji Zhuang successfully advanced, Qing Pingzi, who had heard the news from Shan Shui Kou, came out and gave Ji Zhuang two large pills, telling him to take them back and eat one with Gu Qingqing.
Thanks to Ji Rong's leadership, every thirty to fifty years, a new and longer spatial passage would appear above Sunset Abyss in Juzhou, bringing a rare period of harmony to all parts of the Nine Provinces.
A large number of powerful clans rushed to donate money so that the materials and magical artifacts obtained by the "Ascension Order" could be permanently stored in their hands; and among the lower-level cultivators, there were also quite a few who became famous and rich overnight because of the discovery of new materials.
Originally, this spatial passage was to be built at the Jade Void Palace's Artifact Peak, but because all the cultivators who participated in refining the spatial passage had experienced being blown up, they unanimously chose the remote and sparsely populated Sunset Abyss in Juzhou.
Five hundred years have passed, and the original artifact building of Jade Void Palace has also changed dramatically.
The mountains have long since been flattened, and nearly a hundred smelting furnaces stand in the middle;
Layers of arrays separated the smelting furnaces to prevent sparks and hot molten lava from splashing out.
In front of the smelting furnace was a row of newly built stone houses. Hearing the noise outside, dozens of puppet beasts rushed out and surrounded Ji Rong and Qing Pingzi, who had just descended from the clouds.
This is the beauty of the puppet beasts. Although they have no brains and limited abilities, they know no fear, making them a good choice for many trivial tasks such as assassination, siege, mining, and exploration.
Qingpingzi stretched out his claws and grabbed a puppet beast, deftly plucking the jade tablet recording the beast's forehead. After glancing at it, he handed it to Ji Rong and said, "Your multi-eyed puppetry skills have improved again."
Ji Rong carefully examined the inscription on the jade piece and nodded, saying, "Master's puppetry skills have finally found a successor." After saying that, she put the jade piece back into the puppet beast's head.
"Junior sister..." Qingpingzi had just opened his mouth when he heard a "smack!" The puppet beast stretched out its claws, grabbed Ji Rong's face, and exploded.
The puppet beast's explosion was quite powerful. Fortunately, Ji Rong's feathers were all valuable, otherwise she would have been blown bald by now.
The puppet beast's limbs were scattered on the ground, but its head was not yet rotten. Just as the head opened its mouth, Qingpingzi stomped on it and flattened it. He picked out a golden thread from the crushed head, gently flicked it, and soon Qingzhizi rode Suiye, whose face had become much more weathered, to the door.
She smiled broadly and said, "Senior Brother Wanfa, Junior Sister, I was wondering who had broken my puppet weapon. It turns out it's you two."
As she spoke, she raised her third leg and waved it. Dozens of transparent threads in the air seemed to tighten, and the puppet beasts surrounding Ji Rong and the other retreated back into the room.
Then, Qingzhizi manipulated Suiye to pick up the puppet beast limbs scattered on the ground, then dismounted from Suiye's back and led Jirong and Qingpingzi towards the largest smelting furnace with silent footsteps.
The large furnace has been used by Qingyangzi and Qingtanzi recently. They are working together to refine new materials, and now is a crucial moment.
They arrived at the center, where the tallest smelting furnace was located, and beside the furnace were two mountain peaks, one large and one small.
Qing Yangzi and Qing Tanzi, one carrying water and the other fanning the flames, continuously cast spells on a ball of liquid in the air that emitted a scorching heat. The eighteen disciples below them wielded huge magic hammers and struck them rapidly. After every hundred or so strikes, the hammers showed signs of melting, while the liquid solidified slightly.
The disciple wielding the hammer would quickly throw the slightly damaged magic hammer into the nearby mountain of discarded artifacts, and then pull out another magic hammer from the mountain of fine artifacts to continue hammering.
Sunrise and sunset, moonrise and waning;
After eight days and nights of this cycle, when all the cultivators were exhausted, Qing Yangzi and Qing Tanzi suddenly pulled out huge magic hammers from their mouths. They laughed loudly and smashed the nearly solidified object with all their might, shouting excitedly in unison, "It's going to work! It's going to work!"
As Qingyangzi and Qingtanzi pounded, orange light emanated from the object, and bursts of spiritual light scattered across the world, while lightning and thunder struck the mass of matter directly.
The aura emanating from Qing Tanzi and Qing Yangzi continued to rise, and the phantoms of the two giant snakes rose higher and higher with this aura, growing larger and larger. In no time, they ascended into the sky, and golden chains of order appeared in the deep space, suddenly growing larger. The phantoms of Qing Yangzi and Qing Tanzi's giant snakes directly coiled around them.
As the illusory image of the giant serpent coiled around them, the auras of Qing Yangzi and Qing Tanzi became both real and illusory. They transformed into enormous serpent bodies, coiling around the newly formed matter and rising into the sky, while the illusory image of the giant serpent dragged the chains of order downwards.
"Sizzle... sizzle... sizzle" They met in the air, imprinted each other's images, and then returned to their original places.
As the jars and spades landed, the rich aroma of meat from the brand marks on their bodies gradually dissipated, replaced by the smell of molten iron.
Scars fall off quickly, and new flesh grows in no time;
Qingpingzi and Jirong exchanged a glance and said happily, "They are about to attain enlightenment." Then they quickly transformed into their Dharma bodies and carried their disciples away to Qingzhizi's puppet stone house.
After setting the cultivators down, they summoned Yunlai and flew into the sky, quietly waiting for Qingyangzi and Qingtanzi to become immortals.
"Hahaha, Senior Brother Wanfa, come quick!" A hearty laugh came from Qingtanzi and Qingyangzi. They waved their huge heads at Qingpingzi and tapped the ground with their tails, saying, "Please protect us, Senior Brother." After saying that, they quickly took out a lot of treasures and storage rings from their mouths. Before long, a small treasure mountain was piled up on the open ground.
Qingpingzi swept the area from the cloud and shouted, "Clouds gather!" Suddenly, the clouds widened and grew larger, and a treasure mountain appeared on the cloud, making Ji Rong's eyes light up.
Ji Rong said enviously, "My senior brothers and sisters are really experienced. At such a critical moment, they even remembered to take out the treasure in advance."
The sky seemed to darken.
Beneath the clouds, thunderbolts mixed with heavenly fire crashed down on Qingyangzi and Qingtanzi amidst the rain. Qingyangzi and Qingtanzi exchanged a smile, then wrapped their bodies once more around the bundle of divine material, letting the wind, rain, thunder, and lightning strike their flesh.
Countless chains of order drooped down, lashing their bodies. Qing Yangzi and Qing Tanzi's bodies underwent a dramatic transformation, with gleaming black-gray scales sprouting from their bodies, pushing away their original scales.
Blood mixed with rainwater washed their eyes, making them glow with an orange light. Their skulls gradually rose, exuding an imposing aura.
