Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

Lu Cheng'an followed True Monarch Qiandie into the Suspended Mirror Sect, and was then assigned to the Refining Peak of the Suspended Mirror Sect.

Although the Suspended Mirror Sect currently lacks fourth-tier weapon refiners, it possesses a more complete set of tools and equipment for weapon refining than the Lu family.

This is the profound foundation of a long-established Nascent Soul sect, far surpassing that of a newly emerging Nascent Soul force like the Lu family.

When Lu Cheng'an entered the Refining Peak to help True Monarch Qiandie repair the Kongming Mirror, a mid-grade fourth-order magic weapon, True Monarch Qiandie also conveyed Lu Cheng'an's intentions to the other Nascent Soul cultivators of the Suspended Mirror Sect.

"The sect's weapon-refining manuals involve our sect's secrets. How can we allow an outsider like Lu Cheng'an to know about them? I do not agree to him borrowing the sect's weapon-refining manuals!"

As soon as True Monarch Qiandie mentioned Lu Cheng'an's request, it was ruthlessly rejected by True Monarch Xiangkong.

Xiang Kong Zhenjun's cultivation level was also at the mid-Nascent Soul stage, and his status in the Suspended Mirror Sect was similar to that of Qian Die Zhenjun.

What Xiang Kong Zhenjun said makes some sense; the weapon-refining manuals passed down by the Xuanjing Sect involve the sect's secrets.

If Lu Cheng'an were to decipher the contents of the ancient texts, he might be able to see through the weaknesses of the Suspended Mirror Sect.

"I trust Fellow Daoist Lu's character; he certainly wouldn't do anything to harm the interests of our Suspended Mirror Sect."

Qiandie Zhenjun's gaze swept over the Nascent Soul cultivators, including Xiangkong Zhenjun, and he continued, "The magical artifacts and treasures we use all involve spatial power, and ordinary artifact refiners simply do not have the ability to refine them for us."

As for relying on our own training, you can also look at the current weapon refiners in the sect and see who has the potential to become a fourth-tier weapon refiner.

You should be well aware of how much a good pair of magical artifacts and treasures can affect our combat power.

You all probably know about Lu Cheng'an's talent for crafting weapons. If he were to look at the crafting manuals passed down in the sect, I believe he could definitely help us craft mid-grade fourth-tier magic weapons and artifacts.

His cultivation talent is also extremely high. I think it won't be long before he breaks through to the mid-Nascent Soul stage, and then he might be able to refine fourth-grade high-quality magic weapons and treasures in no time.

…………

Of the five Nascent Soul cultivators from the Suspended Mirror Sect, only the late-stage Nascent Soul True Monarch Wan Ying remained silent. Of the remaining four Nascent Soul cultivators, only the True Monarch Xiang Kong explicitly opposed Lu Cheng'an viewing the Suspended Mirror Sect's weapon-refining manuals.

"Sect Master, it's up to you to decide whether or not to let Lu Cheng'an witness the sect's weapon-forging inheritance!" True Monarch Xiangkong said in a muffled voice.

"Let's wait until Lu Cheng'an repairs the Void Mirror. If he restores it to its original state, then let him read the sect's weapon-refining manuals!" True Monarch Wanying decided.

The magical artifacts and treasures used by True Monarch Wanying also involve spatial power. His cultivation level is in the late Nascent Soul stage, so the quality of the magical artifacts and treasures he uses should also be at the fourth-order high-grade level.

The magical artifacts and treasures he uses all originate from the sect's inheritance. Although he can use these artifacts and treasures, none of them are particularly suitable for him, especially his natal magical treasure.

The reason given by True Monarch Qiandie also tempted True Monarch Wanying. Judging from the talent that Lu Chengan has shown so far, he will probably become a fourth-grade high-quality weapon refiner in a short time.

At that time, I will be able to help him refine the fourth-grade high-quality magic weapons and treasures he needs.

“We will all listen to the sect leader!” True Monarch Qiandie said with a smile.

He had great confidence in Lu Cheng'an's weapon-refining skills, and he believed that Lu Cheng'an would definitely be able to successfully restore the Kongming Mirror to its original state.

While the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Suspended Mirror Sect were engaged in heated discussion, Lu Cheng'an had already entered the weapon-refining room and begun to help True Monarch Qiandie repair the damaged Void Mirror.

The Kongming Mirror is a mid-grade fourth-tier magic artifact, which is much easier to refine than magic treasures.

What Lu Cheng'an had to do was to restore the damaged runes inside the Clear Mirror to their original state and to replace the missing and damaged parts.

Although this magical artifact involves spatial power, repairing it is still not a problem for Lu Cheng'an.

Lu Cheng'an's repair of the Void Mirror was not fast, mainly because he was also studying the spatial runes within the Void Mirror during the repair process.

The runes inside magical artifacts of the same grade have many similarities, and both the Void Mirror and the Thousand-Fold Void Mirror involve spatial power, so there is a lot of overlap in the runes inside these two magical artifacts and treasures.

Lu Cheng'an is now spending time studying the spatial runes within the Void Mirror, laying the foundation for refining the fourth-grade mid-level Thousand-Layer Void Mirror.

Time passed slowly, and more than three months have gone by in the blink of an eye.

Only then did Lu Cheng'an restore the Clear Mirror to its original state.

His understanding of spatial runes is now twice as deep as it was before he repaired the Void Mirror. He feels that even without reading the weapon-refining manuals of the Suspended Mirror Sect, he still has a certain chance of raising the Thousand-Fold Void Mirror to the middle grade of the fourth rank.

Lu Cheng'an naturally wouldn't tell Qiandie Zhenjun his true situation, because he still wanted to read the weapon-refining manuals of the Suspended Mirror Sect to further improve his understanding of spatial power.

"As you entrusted me with, Fellow Daoist Hu, I have successfully restored the Clear Mirror to its original state. Fellow Daoist Hu can take a look!" Lu Cheng'an said with a smile.

Upon seeing True Monarch Qiandie, he immediately handed over the repaired Clear Mirror to him.

With a joyful expression, True Monarch Qiandie examined the Clear Mirror and discovered that the power of the Clear Mirror, which had been repaired by Lu Cheng'an, was even stronger than when he first used it.

This is because the Void Mirror is also a inherited magical artifact of the Suspended Mirror Sect, and it is not a magical artifact newly crafted by True Monarch Thousand Folds.

“I knew Fellow Daoist Lu could restore the Void Mirror to its original state. I feel that the power of the Void Mirror is now even stronger than when I first obtained it.”

The Thousandfold True Monarch lovingly stroked the restored Clear Mirror, then carefully stored the magical artifact into his storage artifact.

"I have already spoken with the Nascent Soul cultivators of the sect about letting Fellow Daoist Lu view the sect's weapon-refining manuals. The sect leader said that as long as Fellow Daoist Lu successfully repairs the Void Mirror, he can freely consult the sect's weapon-refining manuals."

A pleased smile appeared on Qiandie Zhenjun's face. He had now obtained the restored Kongming Mirror from Lu Cheng'an, which meant that Lu Cheng'an had met the condition of viewing the sect's weapon-refining manual.

"Does Fellow Daoist Lu need to rest for a while? Otherwise, I'll take you to see the sect's weapon-refining manuals right now!" True Monarch Qiandie asked with a smile.

The power of a Nascent Soul cultivator is extremely strong. Although Lu Cheng'an spent more than three months repairing the Void Mirror, he did not feel tired.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that repairing magical artifacts is relatively easy. If he had spent more than three months refining magical artifacts, he would definitely have felt tired.

"Many thanks to Fellow Daoist Hu for mediating this!"

After expressing his gratitude to True Monarch Qiandie, Lu Cheng'an immediately said, "I'm not tired right now. Please trouble Fellow Daoist Hu to take me directly to see your sect's weapon-refining manuals!"

Soon after, True Monarch Qiandie led Lu Cheng'an into the Sutra Repository of the Suspended Mirror Sect.

The Suspended Mirror Sect possesses far more ancient texts than the Lu Family, which is the foundation of a long-established Nascent Soul sect, including its weapon-refining manuals. The Suspended Mirror Sect's weapon-refining manuals consist of two parts: one part is collected from the outside world, and the other part is left behind by weapon refiners who have appeared in the history of the Suspended Mirror Sect.

True Monarch Wanying was very magnanimous. He felt that since he had agreed to let Lu Cheng'an see the sect's weapon-refining manuals, there was no need to be stingy anymore, so he directly lifted all restrictions on Lu Cheng'an.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, this is where the sect stores its weapon-refining manuals. You are free to look at them. However, there is one thing I must warn you about: after you have viewed these manuals, please do not spread them out, not even to the Lu family!" True Monarch Qiandie said in a deep voice.

"Please rest assured, Fellow Daoist Hu, I will definitely not spread your sect's weapon-refining manuals!" Lu Cheng'an said very solemnly.

He was not one to push his luck. Since the Suspended Mirror Sect had agreed to let him view their sect's scriptures, he would definitely do as the Suspended Mirror Sect requested.

The Suspended Mirror Sect has a richer collection of weapon-refining manuals than the Lu family, but the number of fourth-order weapon-refining inheritances is relatively small.

Lu Cheng'an wasn't just looking at fourth-tier weapon-refining manuals; he was thinking of helping True Monarch Qiandie upgrade his natal magic weapon to the middle grade of the fourth tier as soon as possible.

Instead, he looked at all the weapon-refining classics he had never seen before.

Even though Lu Cheng'an's cultivation had reached the Nascent Soul stage and his comprehension was outstanding, the number of weapon-refining manuals in the Suspended Mirror Sect was simply too great.

It took Lu Cheng'an two whole years to comprehend all the weapon-refining classics.

For the past two years, True Monarch Qiandie has been staying with Lu Cheng'an in the Sutra Repository.

Of course, True Lord Qiandie wasn't just accompanying Lu Cheng'an; he was also looking at other types of books in the Scripture Pavilion.

During this period, some weapon refiners from the Suspended Mirror Sect sought guidance from Lu Cheng'an, and Lu Cheng'an did not refuse them.

When instructing the weapon refiners of the Suspended Mirror Sect on the art of weapon refining, he would also ask them about their experiences and insights in weapon refining.

This is mainly because the weapon refiners from the Suspended Mirror Sect who came to inquire about Lu Cheng'an were all third-tier weapon refiners at the Golden Core realm.

Some of them were older than Lu Cheng'an and had been involved in weapon crafting for a longer period of time.

These individuals have all developed their own styles of weapon crafting and have their own insights into the art of weapon crafting.

When Lu Cheng'an communicated with these weapon refiners, he was also able to learn a lot about weapon refining from them.

In the past two years, Lu Cheng'an has not only been reading the weapon-refining manuals of the Suspended Mirror Sect, but he has also been working hard to comprehend them and truly transform the knowledge in the manuals into his own strength.

Two years have passed, and Lu Cheng'an's weapon-refining skills have greatly improved, as has his understanding of spatial power.

"Fellow Daoist Hu, I am now confident that I can help you upgrade the grade of your natal magic weapon to the middle grade of the fourth rank!"

After putting the jade slip back in its original place, Lu Cheng'an smiled and looked at Qiandie Zhenjun not far away beside him.

“Fellow Daoist Lu, there’s no need to rush. Only two years have passed!” True Monarch Qiandie immediately said.

He had no intention of urging Lu Cheng'an. He hoped that Lu Cheng'an's weapon-refining skills would improve significantly, so that the probability of successfully refining his natal magic weapon would be greater.

"I'm ready, Fellow Daoist Hu, let's go!" Lu Cheng'an said as he stood up, preparing to leave the Scripture Pavilion.

Seeing this, True Lord Qiandie stopped trying to persuade him, and he and Lu Chengan quickly left the Sutra Repository.

However, True Monarch Qiandie did not let Lu Cheng'an refine it directly. Instead, he arranged a cave for Lu Cheng'an to rest and recuperate before starting to refine his natal magic weapon.

Lu Cheng'an did not refuse Qian Die Zhenjun's suggestion.

After entering the cave prepared by True Monarch Qiandie, Lu Cheng'an did not meditate or rest, but went straight to bed to sleep.

He slept for three days and three nights, and when he woke up, he felt extremely refreshed.

After sending a message to True Monarch Qiandie, he walked out of the cave and, led by the cultivators of the Suspended Mirror Sect, went to the weapon-refining room where the Void Mirror had been repaired.

After receiving Lu Cheng'an's message, Qian Die Zhenjun was already waiting for Lu Cheng'an's arrival here.

Lu Cheng'an didn't say much after meeting Qiandie Zhenjun. He and Qiandie Zhenjun entered the weapon-refining room together and soon began refining.

Because the weapon to be refined this time is the natal magic weapon of True Monarch Thousandfold, True Monarch Thousandfold needs to assist him during the process. Therefore, True Monarch Thousandfold needs to follow Lu Cheng'an into the weapon refining room.

Two years have allowed Lu Cheng'an to significantly improve his weapon-refining skills, especially in refining magical artifacts like the Thousand-Layer Void Mirror, which involves spatial power.

Although the Thousand Layers Void Mirror was quite difficult to forge, Lu Cheng'an forged it very smoothly.

After spending four and a half months in the weapon-refining room with True Monarch Qiandie, he successfully upgraded the Thousand-Fold Void Mirror to the middle grade of the fourth rank.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, I am deeply grateful and will do my utmost to help you if you ever need my assistance in the future!"

Upon sensing the power of his natal magic weapon, True Monarch Qiandie revealed an excited smile, and felt even more grateful to Lu Cheng'an.

He felt that only now did he truly experience the power of his natal magic weapon.

Once he successfully refines his newly upgraded natal magic weapon, his strength will increase by more than half.

Suitable magical artifacts and treasures can greatly enhance a cultivator's combat power, which is the main reason why Nascent Soul cultivators from Nascent Soul sects such as the Ancient Desolate Sect value Lu Cheng'an so highly.

"Fellow Daoist Hu is too kind. I was able to successfully help you upgrade the grade of your natal magic weapon without your help!"

Lu Cheng'an smiled and looked at True Monarch Qiandie, saying, "I have already helped Fellow Daoist Hu refine a mid-grade fourth-order magic weapon. I wonder who will take the remaining opportunity to refine mid-grade fourth-order magic weapons free of charge?"

This was a condition set by Lu Cheng'an before he even looked at the weapon-refining manuals of the Suspended Mirror Sect, and he was determined to fulfill it.

Qiandie Zhenjun really wanted Lu Chengan to help him refine another mid-grade fourth-tier magic weapon, but he knew that was simply impossible.

After all, the weapon-refining manuals in the Scripture Pavilion belong to the sect, and it's impossible to let him monopolize this benefit.

Moreover, he couldn't gather enough materials for a new mid-grade fourth-tier magic weapon.

"The remaining opportunity will be given to Huang Xiewen. He will definitely ask you to help him upgrade the grade of his natal magic weapon, the Shattering Void Axe," said True Monarch Qiandie. (End of Chapter)
