Building a long-lasting family lineage starting with genealogy

Chapter 466 Divine Power Core Formation, Shattering Sword Qi with One Hand, Fourth-Order Array, Fourth-Order Weapon Refining

Above the Yan residence.

At first, it was just a faint, multicolored rosy light that shot up from the depths of the Yan Mansion, like a light veil billowing, appearing and disappearing in the morning light.

The early-rising cultivators in the city looked up inadvertently.

He was taken aback at first, then his pupils suddenly contracted.

The glow was intensifying at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Red, gold, cyan, blue, and purple intertwine, spreading out like brocade and satin.

Immediately afterwards, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of a hundred miles began to stir.

Above Yunxi City, the originally calm spiritual energy suddenly surged violently, like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea, frantically converging towards the Yan Mansion.

The concentration of spiritual energy increased, gradually condensing into a visible mist.

It surged in from all directions, forming a huge vortex of spiritual energy above the Yan residence.

The vortex spun slowly, with a diameter of over a hundred feet.

Five-colored rays of light flowed within, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene, yet also exuding a chilling sense of oppression.

"This is... Core Formation?!"

A monk exclaimed in surprise.

soon.

Countless people flocked to the area surrounding the Yan residence, on the streets, rooftops, and even in mid-air, upon hearing the news.

They were all densely packed together, stopping nearby to watch.

The crowd was bustling with people, including scions of various powerful families and independent cultivators from Yunxi City, all discussing the matter.

"Someone in the Yan family has reached the Core Formation stage. Who is it?"

"Who else could it be? Among the younger generation of the Yan family, the only one with such talent and aptitude is Yan Kuangtu, who has participated in the Gathering of Prodigies."

"Yan the Madman, I heard he's trying to comprehend the true meaning of supernatural powers, could it be..."

The man's pupils contracted instantly as he realized something.

The differences between different types of Core Formation are also enormous.

A Golden Core cultivator at the Divine Core Formation stage is more than capable of overwhelming an ordinary Golden Core cultivator.

Above the Yan family.

Two Golden Core cultivators gazed at each other from afar.

"The Yan family kid actually managed to get it done! He's the first person in Canglong Prefecture besides the Xu family to do so!"
"The Yan family is about to rise to power," Yan Hanxiao said.

Yan Yue, standing beside him, gleamed, "Even if they rise again, can they surpass the Xu family?"

"The Xu family is special. Putting the Xu family aside, Yan Kuangtu is the number one person with supernatural golden core in the Canglong Prefecture in five hundred years."

As our ancestors said, such people often possess a great deal of good fortune.

Perhaps they will have the opportunity to become the third Nascent Soul family in the Azure Dragon Prefecture.

Even if they don't succeed, at the very least they would be a top-tier Golden Core family like the Lei family.

There are rumors that the first ancestor of the Mo and Lei families possessed supernatural powers and achieved the Golden Core stage.

This was a huge commotion.

Besides the Yan family, it also attracted the attention of the Chen family, the Tang family, and many others, including the Xu family in the inner city.

Xu Chuan transmitted his voice to Ye Fan, saying, "Once Yan Kuangtu successfully forms his core, you should personally take Chen Changge and Tang Yuanli on a trip there."

He publicly invited Yan Kuangtu to become the third deputy city lord of Yunxi City.

Ye Fan was playing with the two little ones when he heard the telepathic message and immediately replied, "Yes, Master."

Xu Deyue looked at her in surprise, "What's wrong?"

Ye Fan told Xu Chuan about the matter.

Xu Deyue said with a faint smile: "Yan Kuangtu can be considered the first person in the Azure Dragon Mansion to truly achieve the Divine Power Core Formation."

He naturally deserves the position of deputy city lord.

Grandfather instructed, "Then go and do it."

"No rush." ​​Ye Fan smiled. "It will take a while for the Core Formation phenomenon to dissipate."

I'll spend some more time with the two little ones.

Half an hour later.

A strange phenomenon suddenly appeared in the sky, with thunder and fire intertwining, which was truly astonishing.

"Thunder and fire intertwine, creating a supernatural phenomenon!"

"Yan Kuangtu has indeed achieved the Divine Power Core Formation!"

Upon witnessing this extraordinary phenomenon, what was merely a guess before has now been completely confirmed.

Fifteen minutes later.

The strange phenomenon disappeared, and the sky turned blue again.

Not long after, a figure soared into the air, radiating the aura of a Golden Core cultivator.

It was even stronger than the pressure from an ordinary early-stage Golden Core cultivator.

"Today I, Yan, have achieved the Golden Core stage. Three months from now, I welcome all fellow Daoists to come to my Yan family to participate in the Golden Core Ceremony."

His voice carried a hint of boldness and uninhibitedness.

The news spread far and wide, reaching hundreds of miles away.

Just as he was about to return to the Yan residence.

A voice called out, "Wait a minute!" came from afar.

Yan Kuangtu paused.

Yan Nantian, the patriarch of the Yan family, also flew into the air and stood with Yan Kuangtu.

A short while later.

Then three streaks of light appeared from afar.

"So it's City Lord Ye and Deputy City Lord Chen Tang. May I ask what brings you three here?"

Yan Nantian smiled and clasped his hands in greeting.

Ye Fan smiled slightly, "I've come to see Brother Yan Kuangtu."

"Brother Ye, if you want to celebrate, it won't be too late at my Golden Core Ceremony in three months."

Yan Kuangtu laughed heartily.

"Don't worry, I will definitely come to congratulate you then, but I have other matters to attend to today."

"What is it that requires Brother Ye and the other two deputy city lords to make this trip?"

Ye Fan said, "I have come here on the orders of my master to invite Brother Yan to join my city lord's mansion."

He became the last deputy city lord.

Yan Nantian was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, while the other two seemed to be deep in thought.

"Invite me, Yan, to become the deputy city lord of Yunxi City?" Yan Kuangtu was quite surprised.

"Brother Yan, are you interested?" Ye Fan said, "My master said a long time ago that Yunxi City would have three deputy city lords."

And this last person is specially reserved for you.

Why?

"Having achieved the Divine Power Core Formation, one is naturally qualified to become the Deputy City Lord of Yunxi City."

"Did Elder Xu believe a long time ago that I could achieve the supernatural power of forming a core?"

Ye Fan smiled slightly, but said nothing more. Instead, he asked, "Brother Yan, would you be willing to accept?"

While he remained silent, Yan Nantian transmitted his voice and said, "Accept it."

Yan Kuangtu trusted his ancestor very much, and immediately said to Ye Fan, "Since Ancestor Xu is so kind, how can I refuse? I am willing."

Ye Fan nodded.

"Then it won't be too late to report to the City Lord's Mansion after Brother Yan's Golden Core Ceremony."

"must."

He finished speaking.

Ye Fan and his two companions bid farewell and returned to the inner city.

"Ancestor, why did you agree so quickly?"

"With your supernatural power to form the Golden Core, my Yan family, under your leadership, has the potential to become a top-tier Golden Core family."

There is even a slight chance of becoming a Nascent Soul family.

However, the possibility of the Xu family declining within a thousand years is extremely small; in fact, they may become stronger and stronger.

Being on good terms with them can only bring benefits, not harm.

It's even possible that your chance to achieve Nascent Soul stage might fall into the hands of the Xu family.

After all, the Xu family had previously offered a resource for Nascent Soul stage cultivation, hadn't they?

"The old ancestor is right."

"Besides, your becoming the deputy city lord of Yunxi City will also be of great benefit to the future development of my Yan family."

Yan Kuangtu nodded, then clasped his hands and said, "Ancestor, Kuangtu still needs to go back to consolidate his realm."

The matter of the Golden Elixir Ceremony will now be entrusted to the Ancestor.

"That's how it should be."

The news that Yan Kuangtu had achieved the Golden Core stage spread quickly.

Just half a month later, the Yan family also began sending invitations to various Golden Core forces in the Azure Dragon Prefecture.

This includes some elders of the Azure Dragon Alliance.

Those who achieve the Golden Core stage through supernatural powers possess immense potential; as long as they do not perish, they will undoubtedly become top-tier Golden Core experts.

All those who achieve the highest level of cultivation are willing to befriend him.

Therefore, the Golden Elixir Ceremony of the Yan family is destined to be a grand event for the Azure Dragon Mansion.

This is the Yan Madman Grand Ceremony.

Two important figures from the Xu family were present: Ye Fan and Xu Chonghui.

The rest were Ye Feng and a few younger members of the Xu family.

The gifts sent by the Xu family this time were more generous than before. In addition to top-grade pills, there was also a mid-grade magic weapon, the "Thunderflame Sword," and a third-tier Thousand-Mile Talisman.

The Golden Elixir Ceremony was a great success.

The Yan family also put a lot of effort into preparing for this grand ceremony.

Some prizes were also prepared as rewards for the younger generation to compete against each other.

Among the vassal families of the Xu family, the Zhao, Zhou, Qin, Wang, and Li families also participated in the Yan family's Golden Elixir Ceremony.

They also felt a sense of envy towards the Golden Core.

However, despite the promise from the Xu family, they would not easily hand over this opportunity to any member of their clan.

Even the head of the family himself.

They will only be considered if their talent and aptitude are recognized.

Because they all knew that the first Golden Core cultivator was extremely important; only by being outstanding could one go further.

Only a Golden Core cultivator with outstanding potential can ensure the family's long-term success.

Instead of being killed in one lifetime, they would fall back to the Foundation Establishment minor clans after five hundred years.

"Fellow Daoist Yan, although you have just formed your core, your foundation is solid and your aura is stable."

"How about I have a friendly spar with one of my fellow Daoists?"

A Golden Core cultivator made a suggestion with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, several Golden Core cultivators echoed, "Absolutely right, absolutely right."

Yan Kuangtu's eyes flickered slightly, "Since all of you fellow Daoists wish to witness my supernatural abilities, there is no problem."

I wonder if anyone would be willing to step forward and offer me some guidance.

His gaze swept across the area, and many Golden Core cultivators lowered their heads slightly.

“I’ll do it,” Mo Tingtao said.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Mo, then let us have a battle in the air."

Mo Tingtao comes from a Nascent Soul family, and as long as he doesn't provoke the Xu family, he has nothing to fear from the other families in Canglong Mansion.

He wanted to increase his combat experience through constant sparring, and also wanted to see how powerful those who had reached the Core Formation stage were.

The two soared into the sky and stood facing each other.

Mo Tingtao clasped his hands in greeting and said, "Fellow Daoist Yan, please."

As soon as he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeve, and a beam of green light flew out from his sleeve and landed in his palm.

It was his signature weapon, the "Qingbo Sword".

The sword's blade was as clear as water, with faint ripples of light.

Upon seeing this, Yan Kuangtu flipped his right hand, and a crimson longsword appeared.

It was a fire-type flying sword magic weapon.

Although Yan Kuangtu can use it, he cannot unleash his full potential.

no way.

The Yan family is not as good as the Xu family; they do not have that kind of wealth, nor do they have a third-tier weapon-refining master.

However, the mid-grade magic weapon "Thunderflame Sword" that the Xu family sent this time is a perfect match for it, as if it were tailor-made for them.

Yan Kuangtu could refine it and use it as his own natal magic weapon, greatly enhancing his strength.

"Fellow Daoist Mo, be careful!"

Yan Kuangtu shouted and made the first move.

He blurred into a streak of crimson light and charged straight at Mo Tingtao.

A crimson flying sword slashed out, a sword beam wrapped in lightning and flames, cleaving down towards Mo Tingtao's head!
That sword strike was wild, domineering, and unstoppable!
Mo Tingtao's gaze sharpened, and he thrust out the Qingbo Sword. At the tip of the sword, water rippled and transformed into layers of water curtains, meeting the sword's light.

boom--

When water and fire clashed, they unleashed a violent surge of spiritual energy.

After a while.

The water curtain broke open, and the sword light still fell towards Mo Tingtao.

However, it easily avoided it.

While seated.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Tang Yuanli smiled and said, "City Lord Ye, you are also a cultivator who has reached the Core Formation stage."

Who do you think would win in a match between the two?

Ye Fan smiled and said, "In terms of combat strength, Fellow Daoist Yan is stronger, even though we are at the same cultivation level."

Be careful of his thunder and fire supernatural powers, they are truly domineering.

But in terms of foundation, Fellow Daoist Mo is stronger.

Ye Fan's words were ambiguous.

The others seemed thoughtful.

“Fellow Daoist Mo, your strength is even greater than it was when you were at the Xu family a few years ago.”

"Fellow Daoist Huang isn't just saying that for nothing. After all, you've already entered the second level of the Golden Core stage. How could your strength possibly regress?"

In the sky.

Suddenly, thunder and fire intertwined, and water vapor transformed into a dragon, creating a spectacular sight.

But it's just as Ye Fan said.

When the two exchanged moves and clashed head-on, Yan Kuangtu still had the upper hand.

Even if Mo Tingtao's understanding of supernatural powers is stronger.

However, he has not yet reached the stage of minor mastery of supernatural powers, and there has been no qualitative change.

However, Mo Tingtao also possesses some decent defensive magic items.

He certainly wouldn't leave it unused.

But Yan Kuangtu did not have such a foundation.

Many times, he needs to avoid the opponent's attacks.

In the blink of an eye, the two had fought more than fifty rounds.

Mo Tingtao grew increasingly alarmed as the battle progressed.

"Is this the supernatural power of Core Formation? It's only been three months since Core Formation, and its magical power is already comparable to mine."

Its magical power quality is comparable to that of a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator.

If he had been born into my Mo family, or the Lei family, or the Cang family, he would probably have been given a mid-grade magic weapon for protection.

Water should be able to control fire.

However, Yan Kuangtu cultivates the power of thunder and fire, and thunder magic is also effective against water magic.

This puts Mo Tingtao at a complete disadvantage.

As the battle raged.

Yan Kuangtu roared repeatedly, his swordplay becoming increasingly unrestrained. Thunder and flames surged around him, making him appear like a god of thunder and fire.

"That felt great! That felt great!"

He shouted and slashed out with his sword again.

A solid sword beam, several dozen feet long, fell from the sky, carrying the power of thunder and fire.

Mo Tingtao's expression changed drastically, and he used his magic weapon to defend himself with all his might.

But it had already suffered a lot of attacks before, and it has only been touched for a short time now.

The light screen began to crack, and the cracks continued to widen.

If his defenses are breached, Mo Tingtao will suffer at least severe injuries from this attack.

Just now.

A figure suddenly burst in!
fast!
It happened so fast that most of the Golden Core cultivators present only saw a blur before their eyes.

A crimson shadow had already stretched between the lightning and fire sword energy and the defensive magic weapon's light barrier.

It was Ye Fan.

He reached out and grabbed, his five fingers like hooks, and actually grasped the lightning and fire sword energy!
The sword energy, imbued with the power of thunder and the intensity of flames, was something that ordinary Golden Core cultivators could not avoid.

He seemed oblivious, and tightened his grip slightly—

Click!

That sword energy, powerful enough to severely injure someone in the early stages of the Golden Core realm, was actually crushed by him.

It transformed into specks of lightning and fire, vanishing without a trace.

The entire room fell silent for a moment.

Immediately, gasps of astonishment filled the air.

"Crushed the Thunderfire Sword Qi with bare hands?!"

"What level has Lord Ye's physical body reached?!"

"This is the power of cultivating both body and spirit! It's truly beyond the reach of others!"

Among the crowd, a Golden Core cultivator stood with a solemn expression, whispering among himself.

"Lord Ye's aura is concealed, making it impossible to probe him with divine sense and thus impossible to discern his specific cultivation level."

"However, the Xu family is not short of resources, and with his talent, he may have already entered the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm."

"Yes, Lord Ye's talent is no less than that of Fairy Fengling, it's just that he's slower to form his core."

"It's about time I reached the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm."

They were right.

Ye Fan did indeed reach the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, as did Xu Deyue and Xu Mingxian.

High in the sky.

Ye Fan withdrew his hand and looked at Yan Kuangtu and Mo Tingtao with a smile.

"It's just a friendly spar, fellow Daoists. How about we stop here once we've made our move?"

Mo Tingtao came to his senses, his back already drenched in cold sweat.

He gave Ye Fan a deep look, then clasped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you for saving me, City Lord Ye."

Upon hearing this...

Ye Fan waved his hand: "Fellow Daoist, you're too kind. It was nothing."

"It was because I, Yan, was too obsessed with winning that I almost injured Fellow Daoist Mo," said Yan Kuangtu.

"How can this be blamed on Fellow Daoist Yan? It is because I overestimated myself."

Mo Tingtao sighed softly, "The Divine Power Core Formation truly lives up to its name. It is far superior to the ordinary early stage of Golden Core at the same level."

Even at the very beginning, he is already comparable to a typical mid-stage Golden Core cultivator.

Then, Mo Tingtao flew back to his seat.

Yan Kuangtu looked at Ye Fan, his eyes filled with fighting spirit, but knowing the gap between them, he ultimately held back. "Fellow Daoist Ye's progress in strength is truly unbelievable. It seems that I, Yan, cannot catch up even if I try to catch up."

Ye Fan smiled slightly and said calmly, "Those who have reached the Core Formation stage have a deep foundation, so their progress in the early stages is naturally faster."

"Fellow Daoist Yan, you might very well catch up with me in the future."

Yan Kuangtu's eyes flashed, as if he were deep in thought.

A moment later, he laughed loudly, "Fellow Daoist Ye is right."

However, having witnessed Fellow Daoist Ye's skills today, I am even more eager to learn from him.

If I have the opportunity to seek your guidance someday, I hope you will not hesitate to offer your instruction.

Ye Fan nodded and clasped his hands in greeting, saying, "I await your arrival."

After saying that, he swayed and landed back in the Xu family's seat.

More than an hour later.

The Yan family's Golden Elixir Ceremony then came to an end.

But only a few days later.

Yan Kuangtu went to the city lord's mansion to report for duty and officially became a deputy city lord of Yunxi City.

Two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

someday.

Xu Mingxian finally comprehended the complete Dao of the fourth-order formation.

However, he did not publicize it.

He simply informed Xu Chuan about the matter.

Xu Chuan looked at him with a smile, "Very good, it seems that comprehending the fourth-order teleportation array is just around the corner."

"At most two or three years, the child will surely succeed."

Xu Mingxian asked, "Should I upgrade the clan's protective formation in a while?"

“It’s not too late to wait until your array formation skills improve further.” Xu Chuan said, “It’s not too late to wait until you improve your skills in array formations further.”

"For the next one or two decades, my Xu family will not face any external threats."

"I understand," Xu Mingxian said thoughtfully.

Not only did Xu Mingxian have a happy event, but Xu Chuan himself also had one.

That is, his true meaning of life and death has finally broken through 30%, nourished by this Dao intent.

The withered lotus seed that had been saved from its calamity finally came back to life.

The lotus seed that survives the extreme of death is even more tenacious and vigorous than the ordinary lotus seed that helps people overcome adversity.

After all, Xu Chuan used the Crossing-Arc Lotus Seed to refine the Crossing-Arc Pill at the Xuan Yue Sect, so he could naturally distinguish clearly.

Xu Chuan entered the "Xu Family Grotto" and placed it in the spiritual spring.

Now that life is reviving, what he needs is a massive amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth.

Xu Chuan would also come in from time to time to promote its growth with his life force or the power of decay and prosperity.

This is far more advanced than ordinary spells that promote the growth of spiritual plants.

Those spells had little effect on some high-level spiritual plants.

However, Xu Chuan's methods were supernatural; he could even accelerate the growth of fourth-tier spiritual herbs.

In addition, the three supernatural abilities, including "Shadow Strike," were all mastered to a minor degree in the past two years, and are progressing towards mastery.

When Xu Chuan had also grasped one-tenth of the rudimentary form of the true meaning of innate decay and prosperity.

Xu Chuan suddenly realized that his [Withering and Flourishing, Life and Death] destiny talent had changed.

It actually transformed into a supernatural power.

However, the power of this supernatural ability lies in Xu Chuan's understanding of the innate Dao of decay and prosperity and the Dao of life and death.

The deeper one's understanding, the stronger this supernatural power becomes.

There is almost no upper limit.

He vaguely sensed that the power of this divine ability was already above that of ordinary perfect divine abilities.

"As expected of a destiny talent of the supernatural type, it actually transformed into a supernatural power in the end."

However, it is true that the physical attributes bestowed by the family genealogy will slowly change one's body.

Ultimately, this evolved into a complete physical constitution.

Xu Chuan pondered to himself, "It seems there's still a lot of potential to be explored in one's destiny and talent."

Perhaps I could try what Mingwei suggested, forming a phantom of talent.

Xu Chuan tried it out but found it wasn't very feasible.

His destiny and talents are too complex.

Unlike Xu Mingwei's talent, which is basically related to his physique and can be regarded as the same type.

"Perhaps only Mingwei could do that."

If he can control it freely in the future, he will surely be able to fight against a Nascent Soul True Monarch with his Golden Core form.

"I have already comprehended 20% of the power of creation, so I should be able to refine the 'Heaven-Mending Pill'."

Let's give it a try first.

The materials used in the "Heaven-Mending Pill" are of a normal level for a third-tier pill.

It's not particularly precious.

The key lies in the power of the Five Elements and the way of creation.

However, after refining it, he found it was more difficult than he had imagined.

He failed to refine the product in two consecutive batches.

"How long has it been since I failed to refine anything?"

Xu Chuan immediately became interested and devoted himself to it, as if he had returned to the time when he first learned alchemy.

They were so careful, afraid that if they ruined the process, they wouldn't have any extra materials.

The third batch.

Xu Chuan succeeded, but only produced one low-grade "Heaven-Mending Pill".

Two more furnaces were set up.

At most two.

The rest are all useless pills.

"That's enough, let's stop here. It's not good to auction off too many low-grade pills."

The reason given is that these pills are rare and can be obtained from ancient caves or secret realms.

Too many would lead people to believe that the Xu family possessed such elixir formulas.

Even if they couldn't refine it, they would still secretly covet the Xu family.

They might even use this as a pretext to surrender to a more powerful force.

"A low-grade 'Heaven-Mending Pill' can at most purify the spiritual root to a little over 50% purity."

For those with earth-elemental aptitude, the effect is minimal.

The pseudo-spiritual root aptitude should be able to reach the level of a top-tier true spiritual root.

Mixed spiritual roots can reach more than 40%.

Let's put it up for auction; I imagine it would be very popular.

As for the Xu family themselves, they would naturally use at least a mid-grade "Heaven-Mending Pill".

Once he has grasped 30% of the essence, he may be able to attempt to refine it.

If the ratio reaches more than 50%, it should be possible to refine a high-grade "Heaven-Mending Pill".

Then.

Xu Chuan continued to comprehend the way of creation.

Six months later.

Tianling Sect.

Inside a weapon-refining room.

This weapon-refining room is for Xu Deling's exclusive use.

After years of study and numerous failed attempts, she finally crafted her first high-grade magic weapon.

It is a fire-type flying sword.

Although it is ordinary, it signifies that Xu Deling's weapon-refining skills have entered the next stage.

Compared to other weapon refiners, Xu Deling still has a long way to go to become a qualified high-grade magic weapon refiner.

The success rate should be controlled to at least 20%.

However, Xu Deling can skip this stage directly thanks to his "thousands of hammer blows".

The second thing she planned to do was to refine a special high-grade magic weapon for herself.

However, before that.

She informed Xu Chuan of this news.

“Not bad, not bad. Your fifth uncle broke through to the fourth-level array master more than half a year ago, and now you have also broken through to the fourth-level weapon refiner.”

"Fifth Uncle broke through? How come there was no news about it?"

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "With his talent, breaking through is only natural."

There's no need to drastically change the Xu family's formation now.

He can hide for as long as he can, and it won't be too late to carry out a major upgrade of Yunxi City in ten or twenty years.

"Grandfather was very thoughtful. More than ten years ago, Yunxi had just undergone a major change, so there was no need to be in such a hurry."

Anyway, my Xu family is not in any danger at the moment.

Xu Chuan nodded slightly, "However, you can help your clansmen upgrade their magic weapons."

It will also quickly increase your success rate in crafting high-grade magic weapons.

"After a few days of recuperation, my granddaughter plans to refine a pair of wings, using the wings of the Two-Headed Black Flame Sparrow and the Nine Nether Sparrow as the main materials."

Wind and fire blend together.

"With such a magical treasure, even a Nascent Soul cultivator couldn't catch up with me."

"You can refine it into your own natal magic weapon, just like the 'Fire Phoenix Feather'."

This way, the mana consumption is much less.

Then refine a high-grade defensive magic weapon and further enhance the Fire Phoenix Feather.

With these three magical treasures, no one below the Nascent Soul stage can kill you unless a grand formation traps you.

As for the rest, you can gradually build up your foundation yourself. Whenever you need anything, just ask your family.

"If anything is missing, the family will do its best to find it."

"Thank you, grandfather. After I finish refining, please bring the Golden Core cultivators of my clan into the 'Xu Clan Grotto Heaven'."

The granddaughter ordered custom-made items according to each person's request.

"Those with above-average potential can refine high-grade magic weapons; others can use mid-grade magic weapons."

Xu Chuan established the rules.

"My granddaughter understands."

Five or six days later.

Xu Deling began to go into seclusion to refine the "Wind Flame Wings".

It took him a full half month to successfully refine this special high-grade magic weapon.

If it were like the previous crimson flying sword, seven or eight days would probably be enough.

Then comes upgrading "Fire Phoenix Feather".

He then crafted another "Haoyang Mirror," which combines offense and defense, and also served as his natal magic weapon.

Xu Deling's spiritual sense is the strongest in the Xu family besides Xu Chuan's, and his soul is close to the perfection of the Golden Core stage.

For an ordinary Golden Core cultivator to control a high-grade magic weapon is already the limit.

However, Xu Deling was able to separate eighteen streams of divine consciousness using the "Thousand Gods Technique".

With the connection of mind to one's natal magic weapon, they can be used together.

Just by being able to control these magical treasures together, few among the Golden Core cultivators could rival Xu Deling.

Moreover, Xu Deling's supernatural powers and magical skills are top-notch.

When she reaches the Golden Core stage, she will also have the ability to fight against Nascent Soul cultivators.

Of course, it's still very difficult to achieve what Xu Chuan did.

Unless she can also break through the limits of her soul again.

a few days later.

Xu Chuan pulled everyone into the "Xu Family Cave Heaven," including Xu Mingwei.

Xu Mingxuan looked around. "Big brother, you've come in too. It seems all the Golden Core cultivators have arrived."
This is the first time everyone has been here.

Xu Mingwei smiled.

Immediately, Xu Chuan appeared.

Everyone greeted Xu Chuan one by one.

"I've called you here to inform you of something: Deling's weapon-refining skills have broken through."

Then I'll ask you if you have any magic weapons you'd like to discuss with Deling.

All materials will be provided by the family.

"Another major upgrade is coming! That's great. I've wanted a binding magic item for a long time."

Capturing monsters will be much easier.

Xu Mingshu spoke first.

"High-grade binding magic weapons are not easy to refine, mainly because the materials are hard to find, requiring things like the tendons of fourth-order demon beasts."

"A mid-grade magic weapon will also work."

Xu Deling nodded.

“I don’t need to.” Xu Mingwei smiled. “The ‘Guardians’ have a much stronger foundation than I imagined.”

And I can't leave either.

They had also been given a high-grade magic weapon, a bow and arrow.

Xu Chuan nodded. "Does anyone else need anything?"

Xu Mingyuan said, "Father, I think we have enough magical artifacts."

Even with multiple high-grade magic treasures, it is difficult to control.

Not everyone is like you, able to easily control three or four high-grade magic treasures without any effort.

“Mingyuan’s words make sense,” Xu Mingwei added.

"In that case, those at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm or above, if we don't have a high-grade magic weapon, then we'll forge one."

"Hehe, Master, I don't have any yet."

Mei Yun spoke up.

What type do you want?

Mei Yun thought for a moment and said, "Then help me advance to the 'Nine Dragons Seal'."

I intend to make it the national treasure after the dynasty is established.

“Okay.” Xu Deling nodded.

Xu Chuan said, "Bring Chong Hao back to stay for a while in a few days."

We are all of the same clan, so we should get to know each other.

“No problem, Master.” Mei Yun nodded.

Xu Deyue said, "Grandfather, the 'Sea-Suppressing Seal' is not easy to control; let's return it to the clan first."

Xu Chuan looked at him in surprise, then pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, but let Deling forge a high-grade armor for you."

Ye Fan, you'd like one too.

"Master, your disciple..."

Even for cultivators who cultivate both body and magic, magic treasures can still provide tremendous help.

If you feel it will harm your physical training, you may only reveal it in times of crisis.

"I will listen to my master."

"Thank you, Grandfather."

Ye Fan and Xu Deyue clasped their hands in greeting.

"Does Mingqing need any magical artifacts?"

Soon, Xu Chuan looked at Xu Mingqing.

Xu Mingqing smiled, intending to politely decline, "I have no powerful experts among my men."

"We must have a sense of crisis, because it is indeed unlikely that powerful figures will appear there."

But you can't be without a trump card to save your life.

De Ling, you should try to refine a mid-grade magic weapon ship. In that case, unless a fourth-tier expert intervenes.

Otherwise, even if you encounter a peak third-tier demonic beast, you have the ability to escape.

Xu Mingqing thought for a moment, then finally cupped his hands and said, "Then I thank you, Father."

"I still need a high-grade alchemy furnace and a special magic weapon."

"De Ling, wait a moment. Come to the Kurong Academy, and I'll explain everything to you in detail."

“Yes, Grandfather.”

"That concludes this meeting. Mei Yun and Ming Qing, please remember to visit Yunxi in a while."

"Yes."

Then, everyone logged off.

soon.

Xu Deling went to find Xu Chuan.

Xu Deling was already very familiar with the magic alchemy furnace, and he had his own ideas in mind.

As for the other item...

It is a magical treasure recorded in the "Xiantian Kurong Jing" and is called the "Kurong Needle".

It is best suited for surprise attacks and has a powerful armor-piercing effect.

It is much more effective to deal with magical shields and magical artifact shields.

"How is it possible to refine the 'Withering and Flourishing Needle'?"

"It's somewhat similar to 'Bai Cao Tie' (a traditional Chinese medicine), but clearly more mysterious, likely due to its ingredients."

"The withered tree is the best material; you can take a few branches with you."

Xu Deling nodded and said, "My granddaughter will do her best to refine it."

"By the way, help your fifth uncle upgrade the Azure Pearl. If that doesn't work, then refine a high-grade defensive magic weapon for him."

"Row."

Then came the busy period.

For the next six months, Xu Deling was almost always busy, spending all his time refining weapons.

Mei Yun and her husband brought Xu Chonghao to Yunxi.

The little guy wasn't shy at all and quickly integrated, playing with several other children his age.

Among them are the twins, Hsu Chung-sheng and Hsu Chung-hsi.

A month and a half later.

They returned to the Demon Netherworld with the upgraded "Nine Dragon Seal".

Then Xu Mingqing returned.

He stayed for more than a month before returning to his place of imprisonment.

Then came the crafting of the Demon-Binding Rope for Xu Mingshu, and the superior-grade armor for Xu Deyue and Ye Fan.

Upgrade Xu Mingxian's Mysterious Azure Pearl.

By this time, Xu Deling's success rate in refining high-grade magic weapons had reached as high as 80% to 90%.

Finally, she refined the superior-grade magic weapon, the alchemy furnace, and the "Withering and Flourishing Needle" that Xu Chuan needed.

Xu Chuan intends to make the "Withering and Flourishing Needle" his own natal magic weapon.

With his current magical power and divine sense, he no longer needs to spend as much time as before.

It can be successfully refined into a natal magic weapon in a few months.

From De Ling's weapon forging to Xu Chuan's refining of magical treasures, another year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Xu Deling plans to return to Tianzhu Sect.

Xu Chuan also decided to visit the Tianzhu Sect and collect the reward he had agreed upon with Yan Longzi.
