Building a long-lasting family lineage starting with genealogy

Chapter 269 Eleven in a Row! Beginner's Guide to the Holy Body! (Bonus chapter provided, please guarantee a minimum tomorrow! There will be a bonus chapter!)

Xu Mingxian walked to the front, cupped his hands to the three elders including Chi Yang, and then took a few steps forward to face the group of Tanlang Sect members.

"The thirty-sixth person from Tiancang Mansion, please enlighten me, fellow Daoist from Tanlang Mansion."

at the same time.

At the inner arena peak of the Tiancang Sect, many unsuccessful candidates waited.

Four of the independent cultivators gathered together.

"This is bad. According to past practice, the elders will definitely arrange for someone to challenge the last person first, but Xu Mingxian has many treasures and is definitely strong enough to rank in the top fifteen."

"I'm afraid my Greedy Wolf Manor is going to lose face this time."

"On the other hand, although Xu Mingxian is strong, he cannot withstand repeated challenges from multiple people. He might be killed by the cultivators of my Greedy Wolf Mansion."

This can be considered a relief for us.

"Yes."

"You don't even dare to give your name, are you afraid of losing face?"

"I'll go and have a go at him first!"

A young disciple dressed in black and red laughed loudly and flashed to a spot ten feet away from Xu Mingxian. "Ge Yixiao of the Greedy Wolf Sect requests guidance from fellow Daoists number thirty-six."

Upon hearing this, the disciples of the Greedy Wolf Sect behind him burst into laughter and mockery: "These greenhorns from the Heavenly Azure Sect dare to challenge Senior Brother Ge?"

"I'm afraid he won't even last three moves and will have to kneel down and beg for mercy!"

Xu Mingxian remained calm. "Since this battle is a matter of life and death, that means any means, including pills, arrays, talismans, and secret techniques, can be used, right?"

Li Yang, the old demon, said, "Of course, when faced with life and death, no means are excessive."

"So, this is all your rambling, last words?"

"Death!"

Ge Yixiao summoned a curved blade with his right hand. The blade gleamed with a cold, eerie green light. He used some kind of sword technique and leaped to the top of Xu Mingxian's head like a streak of light.

The curved blade in his hand, carrying a chilling aura, slashed down heavily.

Xu Mingxian raised his hand and flicked his storage bag, and a two-patterned gold flying sword and a gold-patterned shield flew out at the same time.

As the golden light shimmered, the golden-patterned shield suddenly expanded.

With a crisp clang, the scimitar struck the shield, leaving not even a scratch. Instead, the sword was forced back by the metal-elemental spiritual energy.

Simultaneously.

With a flick of his fingertips, Xu Mingxian unleashed a golden sword that transformed into a golden rainbow, shooting straight at Ge Yixiao's heart like a shooting star chasing the moon.

Ge Yixiao's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly withdrew his sword to parry, but he was a fraction of a second too late.

The golden rainbow flying sword pierced through his protective spiritual power and, with a "poof," stabbed into his shoulder.

He cried out in pain and was about to back away.

Xu Mingxian arrived in time, and the golden shield slammed out, landing heavily on Ge Yixiao's chest.

With a cracking sound, Ge Yixiao spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward.

Before landing, a cold glint flashed in Xu Mingxian's eyes, and the flying sword moved again, a golden rainbow streaking across the sky, and a line of blood splattered up.

Ge Yixiao's head had separated from his body and rolled to the ground, his eyes still filled with disbelief and horror.

In the blink of an eye, the duel came to an end.

The mocking remarks from the disciples of the Greedy Wolf Sect abruptly ceased, and each of them looked astonished.

The two elders of the Greedy Wolf Sect frowned slightly, and the fat old man in the red robe had an even more sinister look in his eyes.

In contrast, the morale of the Tiancang Sect members was greatly boosted, and the three elders, including Chiyang, stroked their beards and smiled faintly.

"I'll fight him!"

Suddenly.

Another disciple of the Greedy Wolf Sect, dressed in black, roared out. He held a long spear with a black gleam at the tip, aiming it straight for Xu Mingxian's heart.

Xu Mingxian blocked with his golden shield and slashed diagonally with his flying sword. Both the flying sword and the shield were two-patterned magic weapons with great power.

He broke through the spear's stance in seven or eight moves and delivered a fatal blow to the throat with a single sword strike.

After the battle, he flicked his finger, swallowed a pill, and his magical power flowed rapidly throughout his body.

Elder Li Yang glanced at him with a sinister look.

Another disciple of the Greedy Wolf Sect flew out wielding two axes, giving Xu Mingxian no chance to catch her breath.

Little did he know that Xu Mingxian had taken a top-grade Condensing True Qi Pill, which could restore 20% of her magical power instantly, with the rest gradually recovering afterward.

"So what if it's a two-patterned magic weapon!"

The double-axe disciple approached Xu Mingxian, took out a crimson pill, and swallowed it.

After the elixir entered his stomach, his blood and qi surged, his muscles bulged, and his aura increased significantly.

Then, the double axes swung fiercely at Xu Mingxian, who blocked them with his golden shield. He felt his arms go numb and hurriedly activated his flying sword to counterattack.

"Despicable! He actually took the Bloodthirsty Pill!"

"It seems that the opponent does not want Xu Mingxian to continue winning, but as long as Xu Mingxian can hold out for a quarter of an hour until the effects of the Blood Explosion Pill wear off, he can win."

"If he wins this match, the weapon-refining elder of the Heavenly Azure Sect will be able to tailor-make a two-pattern magic weapon for him!"

Do you think the Xu family lacks a two-patterned magical artifact?

Upon hearing this, the man was speechless. It seemed that the magical artifacts used by the Xu family members were all custom-made two-patterned artifacts, perfectly suited to their main cultivation techniques, and possessing both offensive and defensive capabilities.

Even some disciples from Golden Core families were filled with envy, secretly wondering: Who exactly is a disciple of a Golden Core family?!

In the blink of an eye, the two engaged in a fierce battle of dozens of moves.

Xu Mingxian found an opening, and countless golden rays burst forth from the surface of the golden shield, knocking away the double-axe disciple of the Greedy Wolf Sect.

The next moment, the flying sword pierced his heart, killing him.

However, the price was that the golden shield's surface glowed slightly less.

Xu Mingxian intended to meditate, but the Greedy Wolf Sect had no intention of letting him rest. Another disciple wielding a curved blade darted out like a ghost.

The moment he appeared, he also took a low-grade Bloodthirst Pill to enhance his strength.

With a tap of his storage bag, three first-tier high-grade fire-element talismans flew out, their self-destruction sending him flying.

Xu Mingxian mustered his magical power and manipulated his flying sword into a golden rainbow to attack.

After more than thirty moves of fighting, Xu Mingxian gradually felt the strain. In the end, he used his golden shield to block the blade and the flying sword to pierce his chest, killing his opponent.

Xu Mingxian immediately took out two more pills, which transformed into two streams of light and entered his mouth.

One is a superior-grade Condensing True Pill, and the other is a superior-grade Pure True Pill.

His condition instantly recovered to 90%.

The disciples of the Greedy Wolf Sect then took turns challenging Xu Mingxian, but none of them were able to kill him.

Later, both the old demon Li Yang and the gaunt, black-robed old demon Hei Jiu had faces as gloomy as water.

The people behind Xu Mingxian all looked surprised.

"This Xu Mingxian actually managed to kill ten people in a row. Could it be that he intends to kill everyone from the Greedy Wolf Sect all by himself?"

"Why not? With the aid of elixirs, he still maintains 80% of his strength."

"Tsk tsk tsk, in the last few rounds, he consumed five high-grade Condensing True Pills and three high-grade Pure True Pills, which cost him more than five or six hundred spirit stones."

However, the shield and golden sword also had many scratches, and their power was greatly reduced.

"I'm afraid Xu Mingxian will be in danger in the next match."

In the eyes of Xi Tianqing, Cang Daoling and others, Xu Mingxian was merely relying on external aids. If he were to face a true expert, he would not be given the opportunity to take any pills.

In just a dozen or twenty moves, the defense of a two-patterned defensive magic weapon can be broken, and the enemy can be killed!

When the eleventh person was born.

The disciples of the Greedy Wolf Sect swallowed a high-grade Bloodthirst Pill and used a secret technique. The pressure emanating from their bodies caused even Liu Yue and the others to change color slightly.

In addition, he simultaneously controlled his flying sword to attack while casting hand seals to unleash magical talismans.

Given the current state of the golden shield, it would surely be shattered directly by the power of the talisman.

Xu Mingxian dared not be negligent. With a flick of his left hand, three second-tier low-grade talismans flew out simultaneously: ice-type, fire-type, and metal-type talismans.

Then, he took out a formation plate, began to form hand seals, and set up a second-tier high-grade killing formation.

"A mere second-tier low-grade weapon thinks it can interrupt my attack?"

A mocking smile curled at the corner of the Greedy Wolf Sect disciple's lips. As the dust settled, a layer of pale blue defensive light appeared around him.

Although there were cracks in the light screen, it completely blocked Xu Mingxian's talisman attack.

"Fool, attack now! The enemy is using a second-tier high-grade array artifact!" Old Demon Li Yang's voice rang in the ear of the Greedy Wolf Sect disciple.

The man was startled and looked closely; sure enough, a formation plate was floating in front of him.

"go with!"

He was distracted in controlling the flying sword to attack Xu Mingxian, but Xu Mingxian, who was also distracted, was able to control it more skillfully.

The shield blocked the flying sword.

Xu Mingxian immediately controlled the golden-patterned flying sword to rush towards the blue light screen in front of the Greedy Wolf Sect disciple.

"With the current power of your flying sword, it would take at least seven or eight breaths to break through, while I only need three breaths to fully activate the power of the talisman."

Your death is nigh!

After saying that, he frantically poured spiritual energy into the talisman from his fingertips, and the black giant sword shone even brighter, about to be fully activated.

"Explode!" Xu Mingxian remained expressionless, uttering only one word, his voice indifferent yet carrying an undeniable resolve.

"what!"

The disciples of the Greedy Wolf Sect had a sudden change in expression, their pupils contracting sharply. Before they could react, they saw the golden rainbow-like flying sword explode on its own the moment it collided with the pale blue light barrier.

The self-destruction power of a two-patterned magical artifact is close to that of a fully-established Foundation Establishment cultivator's self-destruction.

The already cracked cyan light barrier was instantly destroyed by the explosive force.

He himself was also engulfed by the aftershocks, and the activation of the talisman came to an abrupt halt.

As for Xu Mingxian, he naturally used his golden-patterned shield to defend himself immediately.

The golden shield, though barely protecting Xu Mingxian from the aftershocks of the explosion, was riddled with cracks and could shatter at any moment.

Xu Mingxian self-destructed his magical artifact, suffering mental and physical damage. He brushed his hand across his storage bag, took out a Jade Sprout Pill, and swallowed it.

The aftershocks subsided.

The disciple of the Greedy Wolf Sect was killed by the explosion, and his storage bag and talisman treasures, as before, became Xu Mingxian's spoils of war.

At this moment, the second-tier superior formation was successfully set up.

Xu Mingxian calmly surveyed the elders and disciples of the Greedy Wolf Sect, and said indifferently, "There is one last person!"

After a short while, he added, "If you're scared, just admit defeat."

"Fine, fine, fine!" Old Demon Li Yang said angrily, "Kill him, and I will take you as my disciple."

The last member of the Greedy Wolf Sect looked at Xu Mingxian and the faint light barrier surrounding him, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and stammered, "Disciple...Disciple."

"Useless trash!"

The withered old man in black robes raised his hand and a burst of magical power shot out, instantly piercing through the old man's head.

He glanced at Xu Mingxian, then looked at Chi Yang and said, "I didn't expect your Tiancang Sect to have learned its lesson and deliberately chose someone like this to be placed at the end. You're deliberately setting a trap for us, aren't you?"

This time, my Greedy Wolf Sect admits defeat!

"You'd better pray you don't run into anyone from my Greedy Wolf Mansion during the preliminary rounds of the Heavenly Pride Tournament!"

Say it.

The fat old man in red robes and the withered old man in black robes transformed into two streaks of light, one red and one black, and vanished in an instant.

Xu Mingxian turned to the three elders, Chi Yang and Huang Yuan, and bowed, saying, "Elders, I have not failed in my mission!"

"Well done!" Chi Yang praised with a smile, "Your name is Xu Mingxian, right? I will keep my promise regarding the two-patterned offensive and defensive magic weapon and the talisman treasure that I promised before."

If you have any requests, you may ask them later.

Now, everyone, come back with me. Those who have secured a spot will follow Elder Huang to the Daoist Treasury to choose their techniques or supernatural abilities.

Cultivating supernatural powers is difficult; you should choose carefully.

"Yes, Elder Chiyang!"

Thirty-six people followed Elder Huang Yuan to the Daoist Scripture Pavilion, while the rest returned to the Arena Peak.

Many elders or heads of powerful families congratulated Xu Chuan and praised Xu Mingxian's strength.

Of course, what they felt most was admiration for how many tricks Xu Mingxian had up her sleeve.

It is estimated that only a few top aristocratic families, such as the Xi family and the Cang family, have a foundation that can match it.

Other prominent families are not saying they can't afford it, but they won't give it away easily.

Chen Changge also said enviously, "Brother Xu, your Xu family has only been around for a short time, but how come your foundation seems to be much more solid than my Chen family's?"

Xu Chuan replied with a faint smile, "It's not that my Xu family has a deep foundation, but rather that my Xu family has few members, so naturally, the amount distributed among the core family members is more."

"That seems to make some sense."

"Moreover, my Xu family mainly engages in business. If there is no profit, why would we do it?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Changge sighed softly, "Even if my Chen family wanted to learn this, we couldn't. Although we have disciples who know alchemy, weapon crafting, array formations, and talismans, or recruited rogue cultivators, there are none who are outstanding."

The profits were meager.

In addition, there are expenses for the cultivation needs of the clan's members.

There's not much left over; I can only accumulate it little by little over time.

The other aristocratic families were mostly similar.

Such explosive growth in the foundation of your Xu family is truly rare.

While everyone waited.

Xu Mingxian and the others have arrived at the Daoist Library.

The Daoist Scripture Pavilion has four floors, corresponding to the scriptures for Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, and Nascent Soul. The higher the floor, the higher the grade and the fewer the number of scriptures.

Each level has restrictions; you can't go up without the corresponding token.

There is a stone tablet in the center of the first floor, and there are also restrictions around the stone tablet.

Elder Huang Yuan flicked his sleeve, sending out a token that emitted a burst of light that landed on the restrictions surrounding the stone tablet.

The restrictions quickly dissipated.

"Let's start with you, Tianqing, and set an example for others. All those who inherit the legacy must register their name."

Xi Tianqing nodded and said, "This is the inheritance stele of my Tiancang Sect. All disciples obtain their cultivation techniques, spells, and incantations through this stele."

Say it.

Xi Tianqing walked to the stone tablet, placed his hand on it, and infused it with his own magical power. A moment later, a beam of white light shot out from the stone tablet and entered his brow.

after the end.

Xi Tianqing continued, "Inject your magic power, probe with your divine sense, tell me the technique, cultivation method or supernatural power you seek, and the inheritance stone tablet will select the method that suits you from among its contents."

The content of the cultivation method is directly sent into your sea of ​​consciousness through divine sense transmission.

The technique is protected by inherent restrictions and cannot be taught to outsiders.

"What I obtained is the wind-based divine ability 'Pale Wind.' Junior Brother Cang, it's your turn."

Cang Daoling, Shen Feiyu, Lei Chaojian, Liu Yue, and Xu Deyue stepped forward one by one to receive the inheritance.

Xu Deyue carried with him the ancient master of the Azure Dragon Sect, who was a Nascent Soul cultivator. He had no shortage of techniques, spells, and supernatural powers. Thus, by chance, he obtained a top-tier cold-path technique called "Frosty Heaven Seal".

This method has nine seals: three seals of frost, three seals of ice, and three seals of heaven.

They are respectively: Azure Frost Seal, Condensed Frost Seal, Frost Splendor Seal, Ice Frost Seal, Ice Crystal Seal, Ice Soul Seal, Frost Heaven Seal, Ice Heaven Seal, and Cold Heaven Seal.

Mastering the nine seals signifies great achievement.

Achieving the perfect union of nine seals within one seal results in power comparable to the initial stage of supernatural abilities.

Ye Fan obtained a fire-based divine power cultivation method called "Burning Heart Palm".

Once you've mastered this divine ability, you can unleash the Heart-Burning Flame, a special third-tier true flame that can damage your divine consciousness.

Without the help of others to plant the Burning Heart Flame, one can only comprehend the Burning Heart Realm on one's own, understand the meaning of supernatural powers, and reach the entry level before one can condense the Burning Heart Flame on one's own.

One disciple after another acquires suitable techniques or supernatural powers, and the Daoist Archives has stewards specifically responsible for registering them.

Finally, Xu Mingxian received a top-tier metal-type sword technique at the Foundation Establishment level, titled "Tai Bai Sword Technique." This appeared to be a fragment of an ancient sword technique, containing only Qi cultivation and Foundation Establishment training content.

But it is incredibly powerful.

If Xu Mingxian can master this technique, dealing with those twelve people today will be much easier, instead of relying solely on magical artifacts and external objects.

soon.

Elder Huang Yuan led them back to the peak of the arena.

"The competition is over for today. Everyone, please leave with your clan or sect disciples. The Xu family, please stay behind."

The group bowed and left the Tiancang Sect under the guidance of the sect's steward.

Chi Yang looked at Xu Mingxian and said, "I have already sent a message to my junior brother, Elder Chi Huo, about the matter of forging the magic weapon. He will be here soon."

The voice just fell.

Then a crimson ray of light appeared from afar and landed beside Chi Yang. "Senior brother, you were looking for me?"

Elder Chiyang said, "This boy is named Xu Mingxian. He is one of the thirty-six people from Tiancang Prefecture who participated in the Tianjiao Grand Gathering. He has made great contributions to my sect. I promised to make him a two-pattern magic weapon that is both offensive and defensive."

You'll be in charge of this.

Chi Huo looked at Xu Mingxian, and then saw Xu Chuan beside him. "You're not Huo Yun's disciple's grandfather, and your name is Xu Chuan, right?"

"Master Chi Huo has a good memory," Xu Chuan said with a clasped fist and a faint smile.

Chi Huo said, "Senior brother, the Xu family has a close relationship with Huo Yun Zhenren, so why does our Tian Cang Sect need to forge magic weapons for them? Besides, Xu Deling has extremely high skill in weapon forging, and he is more than capable of forging two-pattern magic weapons."

"Just do what I tell you to do, and stop talking nonsense!"

Elder Chiyang rebuked, "Xu Mingxian fought against twelve members of the Tanlang Sect for my Tiancang Sect. Of his two two-patterned magic weapons, one self-destructed and the other was half-destroyed."

Even if it's just to make amends, you still have to forge two more items for him.

"What? Those demons from the Greedy Wolf Sect are back again?!"

"With Xu Mingxian present this time, they didn't get a single spot, and instead lost face."

"Hahaha, that's great!" Master Chihuo laughed three times, looked Xu Mingxian up and down and said, "Alright, I'll help you with this. You come with me to Fangri Peak."

Xu Mingxian obediently followed him away.

On the way, Chi Huo inquired about the recent situation of Huo Yun Zhenren.

"That old man Huoyun went on a long journey with his disciple a year ago?!"

After a long pause, he added, "He's just so easygoing."

Upon arriving at Fang Rifeng, Chi Huo inquired in detail about Xu Mingxian's main cultivation technique attributes, preferred styles, and so on.

Then he let him leave, saying that he would send someone to deliver the magic artifact to the Xu family a month later.

Xu Mingxian returned to the arena peak, where Bai Yan gifted him a gold-type flying sword talisman before Xu Chuan and the others left.

As for that request, Xu Chuan didn't mention it for the time being. Elder Chiyang said that he could bring it up with the Tiancang Sect later when he thought of it.

Upon arriving at the mountain gate, they were surprised to find Chen Changge and the chubby boy from the Chen family waiting for Xu Chuan and the others.

“Brother Xu, I will return with you and stop by your Xu family to retrieve the magical artifact.”

"Thank you very much, Brother Chen."

Xu Chuan naturally understood that the other party intended to escort them.

We arrived at the Xu residence.

Xu Chuan gave Chen Changge a discount, handing over the Taotie Shield, a special defensive magic weapon with two patterns, to Chen Changge for four thousand spirit stones.

Chen Changge examined it carefully, stroked his beard and smiled faintly: "It is indeed a good magic weapon."

"Among defensive magical artifacts, earth-type magical artifacts offer the strongest defense. These artifacts also have the function of storing spiritual energy, so even when constantly attacked by others, they can withstand attacks for several times longer than other people's magical artifacts."

It can also be used as a reserve of mana for users.

Provide a portion of mana at crucial moments.

"I'm glad Brother Chen is satisfied."

"Naturally satisfied."

Then Chen Changge smiled and readily paid the spirit stones.

Then he said goodbye and left.

“Grandfather, you are being far too lenient with the Xu family. You might not be so lenient with other Golden Core families.”

Chen Changge looked at Fatty Chen and said, "Tianlei, remember this: you must maintain good relations with the Xu family in the future."

"No need to ask why, just do it."

"Understood, Grandfather."

The thirty-six people from Tiancang Mansion who obtained the techniques and supernatural powers all went into seclusion to cultivate.

Xu Deyue has a special physical advantage, so his cultivation speed of the "Frosty Heaven Seal" is not slow.

Xu Mingxian mainly focuses on the study of array formations, and practices the "Taibai Sword Technique" in his spare time, but his progress is average.

Ye Fan spent his days studying the divine power "Burning Heaven Palm," but he mainly focused on cultivation, taking time out to search for third-tier demonic beasts in the Tiancang Mountains.

Upon seeing this, Xu Chuan specially used the "Minor Astrology" in conjunction with the "Daily Divination" to point out the location of the two third-tier demonic beasts.

After learning about this, Ye Fan took Mo Yue with him.

They obtained a considerable amount of blood from fire-type and earth-type third-tier demonic beasts, as well as a few drops of essence blood.

With the addition of essence and blood, the effects of the body-tempering medicine are enhanced, and it can approach the level of the first three body-tempering sessions.

One month later.

Ye Fan has achieved mastery of the first level of the "Brahma Sacred Body Technique," which is also known as the entry point of the Brahma Sacred Body.

It can be practiced to learn the first three forms of the Brahma Holy Fist recorded therein: Overlord of Heaven, Absolute Heaven, and Burning Heaven.

This style of boxing can only be mastered with an incomparably strong physical body.

Forcing yourself to cultivate will tear apart all the meridians in your body, turning you into a cripple.

Each technique has stages: beginner, minor mastery, advanced mastery, and perfection.

With perfect execution, he is virtually unmatched during the Foundation Establishment stage.

With both techniques perfected, one is virtually invincible during the Foundation Establishment stage.

When the three techniques are perfected, they can block the Golden Elixir for a moment.

After Ye Fan achieved physical mastery, he focused his cultivation on the Brahma Holy Fist, and devoted the rest of his time to meditation, qi cultivation, and comprehending supernatural powers.

The magical artifact crafted by Elder Chi Huo was delivered soon afterward.

After refining it, Xu Mingxian continued his seclusion.

Xu Chuan was the same.

Time slips away silently.

at this time.

Far away in the southern region of Tiannan, Master Huoyun finally arrived at Tianzhu Sect with Xu Deling.

Looking at the magnificent mountain gate, Master Huoyun had a complex expression.

Initially, the two went to Xuan Yue Prefecture and then used a teleportation array to reach a major cultivation city in the southern part of Tiannan. They then took Xu Deling to travel around and broaden his horizons.

The most popular place for weapon crafting in the entire Tiannan region is here, because the weapon crafting sect, Tianzhu Sect, is based here.

The practice of alchemy was most prevalent in the eastern part of Tiannan.

Because the Heavenly Pill Sect exists there.

Although these two sects are not as powerful as the five top sects, they each have two or three Nascent Soul cultivators in charge, with the strongest reaching the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

They should belong to the second tier among the various Nascent Soul forces.

Because of the special nature of sects.

The status of Tianzhu Sect and Tiandan Sect in the cultivation world of Tiannan is no less than that of the five top sects.

The entire Tianzhu Sect occupies an area of ​​several hundred miles.

As far as the eye can see, there is hardly any lush vegetation; only towering, iron-colored mountain peaks rise abruptly from the ground, their rugged peaks resembling thousands of divine soldiers thrust upside down into the earth.

The mountain mist was not ordinary fog, but rather a reddish-gold smoke rising from the earth's fire.

The entire sect was shrouded in a semi-transparent crimson-gold light curtain, which appeared and disappeared intermittently.

"Senior, may I ask what brings you to my Heavenly Forging Sect?"

The Qi Refining Perfection disciple guarding the mountain gate sensed the faint pressure of the Golden Core emanating from True Person Huoyun and respectfully greeted him.

"I have come to pay my respects to Lord Lieyang."

"Is the real person an old friend of Elder Lieyang?"

"Sort of. You sent him a message saying that Huoyun was coming to fulfill the promise made a hundred years ago."

The two Qi Refining disciples looked at each other in bewilderment, and one of them immediately sent a message to True Lord Lieyang.

Inside the Tianzhu Sect's mountain gate, atop a palace on a massive mountain peak, a burly old man with red hair and red eyebrows opened his eyes.

The communication talisman flew to his eyes.

He raised his hand and gently tapped, and the voices of the sect disciples rang in his ears.

[Elder Lieyang, a Golden Core cultivator claiming to be Huoyun has arrived outside the mountain gate, saying he has come to fulfill a promise he made to you a hundred years ago.]

"Huoyun, so it was him. He's quite stubborn."

“Tianyang, Fellow Daoist Huoyun from a hundred years ago has come to fulfill his promise. He is currently outside the mountain gate. Go and bring him here and entertain him.”

Lord Lieyang transmitted his voice to a middle-aged man in a cave halfway up the mountain.

The middle-aged man opened his eyes and replied, "Yes, Master."

This person is named Rong Tianyang. Back then, he was at the Foundation Establishment stage when he defeated Huo Yun, who had just entered the Golden Core stage, in the art of weapon crafting.

A century has passed.

He is now a Golden Core cultivator, and his strength has reached the fifth level of the Golden Core realm, surpassing True Person Huoyun by one small realm.

"Huo Yun, is he the one who, having just entered the Golden Core stage, was so arrogant as to want to spar with Master on weapon crafting?"

Rong Tianyang still remembered Huo Yun's words before he left in a sorry state: "One day, I, Huo Yun, will definitely cultivate a disciple who is no less talented than the weapon-making genius of the Heavenly Forging Sect, so as to wash away today's shame!"

He shook his head and chuckled.

The Heavenly Forging Sect is considered a sacred place for weapon forging in the entire Tiannan region.

How could a rogue Golden Core cultivator like him compare to the richness of the Dao of Artifacts?

Even if he trained them until his death, it would be almost impossible for him to cultivate a disciple comparable to the genius of the Heavenly Forging Sect in weapon crafting.

"I wonder if his Dao heart will shatter if he loses this time."

Rong Tianyang stood up and transformed into a streak of red light, flying towards the mountain gate.

A moment later, we arrived at the mountain gate.

The disciples of the mountain gate quickly cupped their hands in greeting, "Greetings, True Person Tianyang."

Huoyun Zhenren looked at Rong Tianyang. At this moment, Rong Tianyang no longer looked as young as he did a hundred years ago. His arrogant demeanor had been restrained, and he had become more composed.

"Fellow Taoist Rong."

"Fellow Daoist Huoyun, I never imagined that after a hundred years, you would still remember the oath you made that day." He glanced at Xu Deling beside Huoyun and said, "Is this the disciple you are so proud of?"

"You're so stubborn and unable to let go of your own obsession; don't you dare harm your own disciple as well!"

Master Huoyun was slightly taken aback and turned to look at Xu Deling.

at this time.

Xu Deling stepped forward, his sharp edge fully revealed, facing Rong Tianyang, a Golden Core cultivator, with no hint of smugness in his eyes.

"I have come here to bring fame to my master!"

Huoyun Zhenren's eyes immediately became misty, but it disappeared in an instant, revealing a determined look.

"She's quite an outstanding girl."

Rong Tianyang looked at Xu Deling, smiled slightly, and casually praised him.

“If True Lord Lieyang is unwilling to receive me, I will take my disciple and leave,” said True Master Huoyun.

“It’s not that I don’t want to see him.” Rong Tianyang shook his head and chuckled. “Master has already reached the Golden Core stage and has been in seclusion almost all the time, preparing to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.”

However, he had previously sent me a telepathic message asking me to entertain you.

"Let's go, come with me to Blazing Sun Peak."

Huoyun Zhenren felt a chill, but then he remembered that Lieyang Zhenjun was already in the late stage of the Golden Core realm a hundred years ago, so it wasn't surprising that he had now reached the perfection of the Golden Core realm.

The two followed Rong Tianyang into the Tianzhu Sect.

The fire-elemental spiritual energy within the sect is several times denser than that in the surrounding outside world.

They arrived at the square at the foot of Lieyang Peak.

"Fellow Daoist Huoyun, you haven't forgotten this place, have you?"

“Of course!” Huoyun Zhenren said, “A hundred years ago, I was defeated here when you were still in the Foundation Establishment stage.”

Rong Tianyang smiled slightly.

However, the next moment, Huoyun Zhenren's words caused his pupils to shrink slightly.

"But a hundred years from now, my disciple will also become famous throughout the entire Tianzhu Sect!"

"Fellow Daoist Huoyun is full of confidence. I only hope that your disciple's mastery of weapon crafting will not become a laughing stock, just like your arrogant words back then."

Upon hearing this, Master Huoyun remained calm and said indifferently, "Besides fulfilling my promise, I have another purpose in coming here. I wish to have my disciple enter your sect's Flame Phoenix Blood Pool for a few days of cultivation."

"The Flame Phoenix Blood Pool?!" Rong Tianyang raised his voice a few decibels, full of disdain, and said, "Since Fellow Daoist Huoyun knows that this blood pool is precious, why do you still dare to spout such nonsense and make such absurd remarks?"

Even among my Heavenly Forging Sect disciples, only the nine most outstanding individuals are allowed to enter the Blood Pool for baptism every sixty years.

"My disciple alone can suppress the younger generation of your Heavenly Forging Sect to the point of being unable to raise her head!" True Master Huoyun stared straight at Rong Tianyang and said, "If she can do it, would your sect consider it?"

"Of course, if Fellow Daoist Rong cannot make the decision, you can consult your master, True Lord Lieyang."

Given his status in the Heavenly Forging Sect, he should be able to make the decision!

"Hmph, let your disciple defeat mine first!" Rong Tianyang sneered, "Zhu Shan."

Say it.

A burly young man quickly approached Rong Tianyang, clasped his hands in a respectful greeting, and asked, "Master, what are your orders?"

"Come and exchange techniques on weapon crafting with this disciple of Master Huoyun."

Zhu Shan glanced at Xu Deling, and upon seeing that she was a woman, a look of disdain appeared in his eyes.

"Xu Deling, please enlighten me, Fellow Daoist!"

Many disciples in the square, upon hearing that an outsider weapon refiner wanted to spar with Zhu Shan in weapon refining, immediately gathered around out of curiosity.

Upon seeing that it was a woman, they all began to mock her without reservation.

"There has never been a famous female weapon refiner in the Tiannan cultivation world. This woman is too arrogant, daring to challenge Senior Brother Zhu."

"Yes, Senior Brother Zhu ranks twelfth in strength among the younger generation of our Tianzhu Sect, and his skill in weapon forging is also astonishing."

"Female cultivators should act like female cultivators!"

"This woman has a very nice figure!"

Xu Deling paid no heed, focusing solely on forging the weapon.

Upon hearing that Rong Tianyang's disciple was only ranked twelfth among the younger generation of the Tianzhu Sect, Huoyun Zhenren stroked his beard and smiled, saying, "If you are not as good as me in weapon crafting, Fellow Daoist Rong can also have your disciple spar with mine later."

Perhaps we can salvage some face.

"Fellow Daoist Huoyun, your verbal skills have truly improved by leaps and bounds!"

Immediately, the two stopped speaking and quietly watched the two men refine their weapons.

Several hours passed in the blink of an eye.

After observing Zhu Shan for a long time, Huo Yun Zhenren had a general idea of ​​his weapon-refining skills, which were only recently achieved by a second-level weapon refiner.

A two-pattern weapon refiner is already considered to be among the top-tier weapon refiners in the Foundation Establishment stage.

As for three-pattern weapon refiners, their weapon refining skills are not much higher than those of two-pattern weapon refiners, and there is no substantial improvement.

What's truly precious is the method for crafting three-patterned magical artifacts!
