Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 462 Refining Treasures
"You want me to come out of seclusion."

He scanned the mountains beyond the pass with his divine sense. Although he could not be sure whether the old bald monk was still waiting, given the persistent nature of Buddhist cultivators, ten years was but a fleeting moment for a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"To rashly leave the pass is tantamount to walking into a trap."

Xu Yunfan's gaze turned slightly cold.

I know all too well what these bald monks are like; they seem compassionate, but in reality, they are relentless.

If he were to step out of Hanya Pass at this moment, he would likely be ambushed immediately.

"Perhaps we've barely stepped out of the pass."

He could almost see the scene before his eyes: the sky filled with Buddhist light, and Buddhist ritual implements such as the vajra and the demon-subduing pestle breaking through the air.

Those bald monks have probably already laid a trap, just waiting for him to walk right into it.

"We can't take the risk."

Xu Yunfan withdrew his divine sense, tapped his knuckles lightly on the table, and made a decision in his heart.

The path of cultivation is long, and there is no need to put oneself in danger for the sake of a moment's needs.

After all, he still has enough lifespan to live, so he can wait for the right opportunity.

On the other hand, regarding the Arhat Subduing Dragon, according to the information obtained, he has been famous for nearly three hundred years and is likely nearing the end of his lifespan. Rather than risking leaving seclusion, it would be better to take this opportunity to focus on refining weapons.

Either way, that old bald monk can't afford to waste this time.

The Xuan Du Eight Scenic Spots Refining Heaven Creation Cloud Book is now partially completed. Relying on the resources within Han Ya Pass, it is possible to refine a few magical treasures.

After all, according to Master Baiyue, Hanya Pass is one of the outlets from which the innate pure and turbid qi burst forth. Something will surely happen within sixty years. At that time, we should do our best to search for it and hand it over to True Lord Qingyuan. There will naturally be a considerable reward. Perhaps we can find the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Qi from True Lord Qingyuan and take another step forward.

There's no need to be so anxious.

The advantage is mine.

Over the next ten years.

Xu Yunfan sat cross-legged deep in the cave, his body surging with malevolent energy. The yin and turbid energy accumulated in Hanya Pass for many years flowed within his carefully arranged yin-gathering array, transforming into pure spiritual power that continuously poured into the refining furnace in front of him.

"I have already reached the minor completion of the Xuan Du Eight Views Refining Heaven Creation Cloud Book, so refining weapons is not difficult for me now."

Xu Yunfan stared at the Eight Scenery Spirit Flames leaping in the refining furnace, already having a plan in mind.

In the art of weapon crafting, the principle of "the combination of materials and techniques" is paramount.

The quality of the materials determines the foundation of a magical artifact, while the crafting techniques determine its ultimate power.

Now, he has reached the minor completion stage of the "Xuandu Eight Scenes Refining Heaven and Creating Cloud Book". With the attribute panel, he has a clear understanding of this weapon refining method and can refine ordinary magic treasures without any obstacles.

"At the minor completion stage, one can refine magical treasures; upon reaching the major completion stage, one can achieve perfection and flawlessness..."

He lightly touched the furnace fire with his fingertips, and the eight-colored spiritual flames flowed with his thoughts.

Although he has not yet reached the Great Perfection realm, with the spiritual materials gathered within Hanya Pass and the unique tempering techniques of the Xuandu Eight Scenes Refining Heaven Method, he is capable of crafting a magic weapon that matches the manifestation of the three heads and six arms of the Divine Martial Dao Foundation.

As for higher-level "spiritual treasures" or even "heaven-reaching spiritual treasures," they require more profound crafting skills and the support of rare and precious materials, so there is no need to rush.

"Enough is enough."

Xu Yunfan withdrew his thoughts and immersed his consciousness into the furnace.

Refining weapons is like cultivating oneself; being greedy for more and more can easily lead to obstacles.

For now, let's use the existing materials to refine a suitable magic weapon. When our cultivation level improves and resources become more abundant, we can pursue a higher level of weapon refining later.

You can't get fat in one bite.

Even with his attribute panel, he can only progress slowly.

His eyes flickered slightly, and with a light tap of his fingertip, the flames in the furnace suddenly rose, transforming into eight different colored spiritual flames that swirled around the cauldron. This was precisely the unique feature of the "Eight Scenes of Xuandu: The Cloud Book of Refining Heaven and Creating Creation".

Using the Eight Scenes to Refine Heaven, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is transformed into the fire for refining weapons. Each flame corresponds to a primordial power in the world, capable of melting all things and refining their essence.

The Divine Martial Dao Foundation manifests as a three-headed, six-armed form. However, without a suitable magical weapon for each of the six arms, it would be difficult to exert its full power.

After all, according to the records of the Yuanshi Sect, when the Divine Martial True Man unleashed his Divine Martial Dao Foundation in the past, he had all six arms and was able to contend with the sword cultivators of the Wancheng Sword Sect who specialized in killing and swordsmanship without being at a disadvantage.

This kind of power is exactly what Xu Yunfan sought. Now that the foundation of his Divine Martial Dao has been established, he should emulate the sages of the past and prove his Dao through martial arts.

"Divine Martial Immortal, you can go with peace of mind. I will naturally follow your will and use the True Martial Subduing Demon Scripture to obtain a Golden Core position."

Xu Yunfan feigned a sigh, saying that some things always need a legitimate reason to maintain one's morale and make one's actions more fulfilling and complete.

With a thought, pieces of rare materials flew out of the storage bag.

He threw all the spirit ores, demon bones, and evil crystals he had collected in Han Ya Guan Market over the years, as well as a few broken magic artifacts he had obtained from rogue cultivators, into the furnace.

"rise!"

He formed hand seals, and his divine sense surged into the furnace like a tide, each strand of his divine thought precisely controlling the melting, purification, and recombination of the materials.

With a slight shift in his mind, Xu Yunfan incorporated the essence of the Heavenly Craft Forging Technique into the weapon-refining process.

This forging technique was inherited from the Divine Martial Realm. Although it is not as profound as the immortal weapon-refining methods, it has the advantage of a solid foundation.

Its most unique feature is that it can be tailored to the characteristics of cultivators, and can both forge standard magic weapons in a conventional way and realize special ideas in an ingenious way.

After all, those ingenious mechanisms are something that doesn't exist in the Taihua Spirit Ruins Realm.

The spiritual flames surged within the furnace, and the materials melted rapidly under the tempering of the Eight Scenery Fire, burning away impurities and leaving only the purest part.

Xu Yunfan stared intently, his fingertips lightly tracing lines, imprinting runes onto the molten material, gradually shaping it.

Although it was his first time refining a weapon, with the help of the attribute panel, he had already memorized all the key points of weapon refining in the Lesser Completion stage of "Xuandu Eight Scenes Refining Heaven and Creating Cloud Book".

His fingers flew like butterflies, precisely casting spells into the furnace. The Eight Scenery Clouds flowed with his thoughts, drawing out the essence of all kinds of spiritual materials.

He practiced for forty-nine days.

He gave a low shout, and black light surged from the furnace, slowly forming a long halberd that was entirely black and shrouded in yin energy.

The halberd's edge is like a dragon's tooth, and its body is engraved with mysterious patterns. It was forged with the unique Yin energy of Hanya Pass. Once activated, the Yin energy surges like a tide, capable of corroding the enemy's magic power and magical treasures, making it extremely lethal.

"Mysterious Fiend Heavy Halberd!"

'You have successfully crafted a low-grade magic weapon. Your proficiency with the Xuandu Eight Sceneries Refining Heaven Creation Cloud Scroll has increased.'

'Your Heavenly Crafting skill has gained a massive amount of proficiency.'

'Your mastery of forging is now complete.'

As Xu Yunfan felt the forging essence surging within his sea of ​​consciousness, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

In the Divine Martial World, this Heavenly Craftsmanship Forging Technique is undoubtedly one of the most advanced secret methods combining weapon forging and mechanical engineering. Yet, it has only been used to successfully forge a single magical artifact, which has already elevated it to perfection.

The level is a bit low.

After mastering the Heavenly Craftsmanship Forging Technique, the essence of weapon forging and mechanism design, which was naturally inherited, kept lingering in his mind and was quickly digested by him.

He stared at the Xuan Sha Heavy Halberd in his hand, and as the Yin Sha Qi flowed around the halberd, he suddenly noticed several subtle flaws.

"I see."

He lightly stroked the halberd blade with his fingertips, and the Eight Scenery Spirit Flames flickered between its veins.
