Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

"We have no problem, we will follow Fellow Daoist Lu's arrangements!" True Monarch Suigu and True Monarch Dahuang said with smiles.

They instantly understood what Lu Cheng'an meant, since he had previously told them about helping them refine a mid-grade fourth-tier natal magic weapon.

Lu Cheng'an had never refined a mid-grade fourth-order magic weapon before, so he told them to be prepared for failure.

Lu Cheng'an's proposal to postpone the time for refining a mid-grade fourth-tier magic weapon is clearly intended to improve his refining skills after refining some low-grade fourth-tier magic weapons. This would increase the success rate of refining a mid-grade fourth-tier magic weapon for them.

This is a good thing for them, so naturally they won't refuse.

"Since you two agree, let's discuss the refining cost next."

Lu Cheng'an smiled at the three True Monarchs of the Withered Time and continued, "I have already told you three fellow Daoists about the refining costs I need..."

The refining fee quoted by Lu Cheng'an was not high, and it was the result of a joint discussion between him and the Hundred Weapons True Monarch of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

After all, Qingzhou and Hezhou only have him and Hundred Weapons True Monarch as fourth-tier weapon refiners.

Although Baiqi Zhenjun came from the powerful Tianjian Sect, he was a very good person. He had no hostility towards Lu Cheng'an, the newly emerged fourth-tier weapon refiner, and even had great goodwill towards him.

Especially after exchanging weapon-refining experiences with Lu Cheng'an and gaining a lot of inspiration from him, he has now digested what he learned from Lu Cheng'an and successfully become a fourth-tier mid-grade weapon refiner.

This also improved his impression of Lu Cheng'an.

Therefore, when Lu Cheng'an asked the Hundred Weapons True Lord how to collect refining fees, the Hundred Weapons True Lord told Lu Cheng'an his experience in great detail.

The issue of the cost of refining magical artifacts had already been mentioned by Lu Cheng'an before the arrival of the three, including Ku Shi Zhenjun. Now that Lu Cheng'an had reiterated it, they had no objections.

Lu Cheng'an needed only fourth-tier treasures. Among the materials provided by the Ancient Desolate Sect, many were for enhancing the Nine Luminaries Star Thunder Refining God Array, but there wasn't a single material for refining pills.

The time required to refine fourth-order magic weapons and treasures is relatively long. After discussing with Lu Cheng'an, the three of them told Lu Cheng'an about the materials needed to refine the magic weapons and treasures. After that, they left the Lu family together and returned to the Desolate Ancient Sect.

They weren't worried that Lu Cheng'an would keep their materials, after all, Lu Cheng'an wasn't alone.

After the three True Monarchs of the Desolate Ancient Sect left, the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Haoyang Sect quickly arrived at the Lu family.

Lu Cheng'an had experience helping Tianhuo Zhenjun, a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator from the Haoyang Sect, repair the Ranliu Treasure Mirror, so the cultivators of the Haoyang Sect were quite polite to Lu Cheng'an.

Haoyang Sect is the most powerful Nascent Soul sect in Qingzhou, and it also possesses the most cultivation resources.

Among the refining expenses provided by the Nascent Soul cultivators of Haoyang Sect was the Seven-Leaf Divine Ganoderma, which was needed to refine the Profound Jade Divine Ganoderma Pill, and they even provided two of them directly.

The cultivators from Haoyang Sect who came were all at the early to mid-stages of the Nascent Soul realm, and they asked Lu Cheng'an to refine low-grade fourth-order magic weapons.

The reason they didn't ask Lu Cheng'an to refine mid-grade fourth-order magic weapons and treasures was because they weren't very familiar with Lu Cheng'an's weapon-refining skills.

They made the same choice as the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Ancient Desolate Sect: after handing over the materials for refining magical artifacts and the deposit to Lu Cheng'an, they left the Lu family.

Finally, the Nascent Soul cultivators from the Suspended Mirror Sect arrived. The Suspended Mirror Sect had previously interacted with Lu Cheng'an, and the fourth-tier technique, Piercing Void Finger, in Lu Cheng'an's possession was given to him for free by True Monarch Thousand Folds of the Suspended Mirror Sect.

The Penetrating Void Finger is a technique involving spatial power. The fourth-tier magic weapons and treasures that the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Suspended Mirror Sect need to refine also basically involve this power.

If a weapon refiner does not have a deep understanding of the principles of space, it will be difficult to refine magical artifacts that involve spatial power.

Although Baiqi Zhenjun has been a fourth-tier weapon refiner for many years, his understanding of the Dao of Space is not profound, so it is difficult for him to help the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Suspended Mirror Sect refine magical artifacts using the power of space.

During the time Lu Cheng'an spent in the underground magma river, besides observing the changes in the magma river, he was also cultivating the Thousand-Year Seal and the Penetrating Void Finger.

The Thousand-Year Seal involves the power of time. Lu Cheng'an had already cultivated the Quiet Ancient Seal, which also involves the power of time, to perfection. Therefore, it was relatively easier for him to cultivate the Thousand-Year Seal, which also involves the power of time.

Even so, it took him two years to go from beginner to mastering the Thousand-Year Seal.

He spent the remaining year fully cultivating the fourth-tier technique, the Piercing Finger.

Although Lu Cheng'an had never practiced this type of technique before, the Piercing Finger technique, which involves spatial power, was not as profound as the Tranquil Ancient Seal and the Thousand-Year Seal.

Lu Cheng'an had good comprehension skills, and with the help of the panel's effects, he spent a year cultivating the Void-Piercing Finger technique to the point of near mastery.

At this point, his understanding of spatial power had deepened considerably, and he was confident that he could help the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Suspended Mirror Sect refine fourth-order magic weapons and treasures that involved spatial power.

After the Nascent Soul cultivators from the Suspended Mirror Sect arrived at the Lu family, Lu Cheng'an first told them about refining fourth-order magic weapons and treasures. Then he asked them about cultivating the fourth-order technique, the Penetrating Void Finger, and about spatial power.

This helps the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Suspended Mirror Sect to better refine fourth-order magic weapons and treasures, so the cultivators of the Suspended Mirror Sect were very attentive when answering Lu Cheng'an's questions.

After exchanging ideas with the cultivators of the Suspended Mirror Sect, Lu Cheng'an gained a deeper understanding of spatial power.

The problems I encountered when I was practicing the Piercing Finger technique alone were solved without me even realizing it.

The Nascent Soul cultivators from the Suspended Mirror Sect did not wait for the Lu family either. After making arrangements with Lu Cheng'an, they left the Lu family.

After seeing off the last Nascent Soul cultivator from the Suspended Mirror Sect, Lu Cheng'an handed over all the materials for refining pills to Shi Ningyu.

After that, Lu Cheng'an announced his seclusion. However, he did not immediately begin refining the fourth-order magic weapons and treasures he had been assigned to. Instead, he devoted himself to cultivating the fourth-order technique, the Piercing Void Finger.

Lu Cheng'an was already close to mastering this technique, and after exchanging ideas with the cultivators of the Suspended Mirror Sect, he gained even more insights into it.

After more than a month of seclusion, he mastered the art of the Piercing Finger technique.

After Lu Cheng'an mastered the Piercing Void Finger technique, he stopped practicing it and began to focus on refining fourth-tier magic weapons and treasures.

Lu Cheng'an's crafting skills have improved considerably compared to before, and the fourth-tier magic weapons and treasures he is currently working on are less difficult to craft than the treasures he has crafted before.

This reduced the time he spent refining fourth-tier magic weapons and treasures. It took him three to four months to refine a low-grade fourth-tier magic weapon and four to five months to refine a low-grade fourth-tier magic treasure.

The three members of the Ancient Desolate Sect, including True Monarch Kushi, had Lu Cheng'an help them refine two low-grade fourth-order magic weapons and two low-grade fourth-order magic treasures.

Lu Cheng'an spent a year and a half refining all the magical artifacts and treasures that Ku Shi Zhenjun and the other two needed to make.

At this time, his weapon-refining skills improved significantly again, and he had greater confidence in refining the fourth-grade mid-rank natal magic treasures that True Monarch Suigu and True Monarch Dahuang needed to refine.

However, he did not plan to help Su Gu Zhenjun and his companion refine their natal magic treasures now. He would wait until he had finished refining all the fourth-grade low-level magic weapons and treasures that the Nascent Soul cultivators of Haoyang Sect and Xuanjing Sect needed to refine before helping Su Gu Zhenjun and his companion refine theirs.

Lu Cheng'an relayed a message to the three True Monarchs of Kushi, instructing them to retrieve the completed fourth-grade low-level magic artifacts and treasures.

The Ancient Desolate Sect and the Lu family were not far apart. Soon after receiving Lu Cheng'an's message, the three True Monarchs of the Dead Time arrived at the Lu family.

After receiving the magical artifacts and treasures that Lu Cheng'an had crafted for them, the three of them, Ku Shi Zhenjun, felt extremely satisfied.

Because Lu Cheng'an needed to continue refining, the three of them, including Ku Shi Zhenjun, did not stay at the Lu family for too long.

After paying Lu Cheng'an for the remaining refining costs, they left the Lu family directly.

After that, Lu Cheng'an began a new round of refining. The number of fourth-grade low-level magic weapons and treasures that the Nascent Soul cultivators of Haoyang Sect asked Lu Cheng'an to help refine was even greater, and it took Lu Cheng'an two and a half years to complete the refining.

The number of fourth-tier magic weapons and treasures that the Suspended Mirror Sect allowed Lu Cheng'an to refine was relatively small, only two in total.

This is because they don't have much faith in Lu Cheng'an's weapon-refining skills, since the magical artifacts they need to refine involve spatial power.

The Nascent Soul cultivators of the Suspended Mirror Sect only sought Lu Cheng'an's help to refine the artifacts this time as a test. If Lu Cheng'an could successfully refine them for them, they would then ask him to refine more fourth-order magic weapons and treasures.

Lu Cheng'an's refining went quite smoothly this time, without any major mistakes. He successfully refined all the fourth-order magic weapons and treasures that Haoyang Sect and Xuanjing Sect had asked him to refine.

When the Nascent Soul cultivators from Haoyang Sect and Xuanjing Sect came to the Lu family to retrieve the magical artifacts and treasures they had asked Lu Cheng'an to refine, the Nascent Soul cultivators from Xuanjing Sect asked Lu Cheng'an to refine some more fourth-tier magical artifacts and treasures for them, but Lu Cheng'an did not agree.

Because he doesn't have that much time.

He had already promised True Monarch Suigu and True Monarch Dahuang that he would help them refine a mid-grade fourth-tier natal magic weapon.

He has not yet refined a mid-grade fourth-tier magic weapon, but he is certain that refining a magic weapon of this grade will take even longer.

Shi Ningyu has now successfully refined the Xuan Yu Shen Zhi Dan. The success rate of the two batches of pills is not low, and a total of six Xuan Yu Shen Zhi Dan were obtained.

Lu Cheng'an already had a plan in mind. After he finished refining the fourth-grade mid-level natal magic weapon for True Monarch Suigu, he would take the Xuan Yu Divine Mushroom Pill and strive to raise his cultivation to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Then, they took the Ghostwood Demon King into the Netherworld to search for treasures that could help condense a Nascent Soul.

After Lu Cheng'an rejected the Nascent Soul cultivators from the Suspended Mirror Sect, the cultivators from the Suspended Mirror Sect were not angry, because they knew that Lu Cheng'an had been refining fourth-order magic weapons and magic treasures all these years.

However, they still gave Lu Cheng'an some instructions, hoping that he would help them refine fourth-tier magic weapons and treasures when he had time in the future, and Lu Cheng'an naturally agreed.

After the cultivators from Haoyang Sect and Xuanjing Sect left, Lu Cheng'an sent a message to Sui Gu Zhenjun and Dahuang Zhenjun, preparing to help them refine a mid-grade fourth-order natal magic weapon.

Sui Gu Zhenjun and the other man did not go to the Lu family together, because Lu Cheng'an could not help them refine at the same time.

After discussing it for a while, the two decided that Sui Gu Zhenjun would first go to the Lu family to ask Lu Cheng'an to refine his natal magic weapon.

Because Lu Cheng'an had experience in helping Ku Shi Zhenjun refine his natal magic weapon, although Sui Gu Zhenjun's natal magic weapon was only of the middle grade of the fourth rank, it had many similarities with Ku Shi Zhenjun's natal magic weapon, the Withered Wood Staff.

Sui Gu Zhenjun's natal magic weapon is called the Zhou Guang Shen Pan, which can release the Zhou Guang Shen Blade for attack.

The Divine Blade of Time is formed from the power of time. Once struck by the Divine Blade of Time, it will leave a time wound in the cultivator's body.

Only treasures that involve the power of time can heal this kind of injury. If the injury cannot be healed, the cultivator's physical body will be gradually eroded by the power of time, and will eventually be eroded in a very short time.

The crafting difficulty of the Divine Disc of the Universe is much greater than that of the Staff of the Dead Wood, and this magic weapon is of a high grade of mid-fourth rank.

Lu Cheng'an now has a deep understanding of the power of time. After frantically refining fourth-grade low-level magic weapons and treasures some time ago, his weapon-refining skills have also been greatly improved.

He had studied the crafting method of the Divine Disc of the Universe for some time. After True Monarch Suigu arrived at the Lu family, Lu Cheng'an took True Monarch Suigu directly to his crafting room and began to help True Monarch Suigu craft the Divine Disc of the Universe, a mid-grade fourth-order natal magic weapon.

Contrary to Lu Cheng'an's expectations, refining a mid-grade fourth-order magic weapon took longer, but his process of refining the Cosmic Light Divine Disc went relatively smoothly.

Even so, it still took him a full eight months from start to finish.

Of course, this is also largely due to the fact that this is his first time refining a mid-grade fourth-tier magic weapon, and that his cultivation level is only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

As he refines more fourth-grade mid-level magic weapons and artifacts, the time he spends refining these types of magic weapons and artifacts will definitely decrease.

After Lu Cheng'an helped Sui Gu Zhenjun refine the Zhou Guang Divine Disc, Sui Gu Zhenjun expressed his sincere gratitude to Lu Cheng'an and then returned to the Huang Gu Sect.

Not long after, the Great Wilderness True Monarch arrived at the Lu family from the Ancient Wilderness Sect.

Lu Cheng'an then began to help the Great Wilderness True Monarch refine a mid-grade fourth-order natal magic weapon.

The Great Wilderness True Lord's natal magic weapon is called the Great Wilderness Divine Tower. The Great Wilderness Divine Tower is not easy to forge, but it is still somewhat different from the Cosmic Light Divine Disc.

Lu Cheng'an already had experience in refining the Divine Disc of the Universe, so refining the Great Wilderness Divine Tower was relatively easier for him.

After spending seven and a half months, Lu Cheng'an successfully helped the Great Wilderness True Lord forge the Great Wilderness Divine Tower.

After that, Lu Cheng'an stopped refining fourth-tier magic weapons and treasures. After receiving three Xuan Yu Divine Mushroom Pills from Shi Ningyu, he entered the underground lava river to focus on improving his cultivation. (End of Chapter)
