Immortal Martial Saint, something's wrong with my entry.

"That's it."

"what?"

Dongfang Jinghong was somewhat puzzled.

Did I say anything?

Thinking back carefully, I didn't say anything, so why did Li Youan just decide on this somewhat useless cultivation method?

Li Youan quickly provided the answer before Dongfang Jinghong was left wondering for long.

"My biggest weakness right now is my movement technique, but I've already chosen a suitable one."

"And this [Sky Shuttle] can perfectly meet my requirements for speed."

Upon hearing Li Youan's explanation, Dongfang Jinghong said nothing more, but instead reached out and took down the [Sky Shuttle] in front of him.

Dongfang Jinghong took it in his hand and examined it carefully for a moment, then handed the [Sky Shuttle] to Li Youan who was standing next to him.

"You're really helping us clear out our inventory this time. Some people bought this before and insisted on getting a full refund, even if it was only a partial refund of spirit stones."

Dongfang Jinghong spoke with a sigh about the relevant information he had previously read.

Knowing that he would be staying at the front-line base for a period of time, Dongfang Jinghong had carefully studied the relevant information about the Dongfang Treasure Pavilion at the front-line base, and therefore was quite familiar with the famous [Sky Shuttle].

Li Youan looked at the sleek Sky Shuttle in his hand and said something.

"It's alright, it will shine in my hands."

"Oh, there's one more thing."

Li Youan, having just seen so many magical treasures, now has some new ideas.

Dongfang Jinghong was somewhat curious. "What is it? Please speak freely."

"When I came here last time, you said you could repair magical artifacts. You've seen this bone whip of mine before, and I'd like you to refine it into a magical artifact."

"I can pay for the additional materials and processing fees needed for refining with spirit stones."

Li Youan took the bone whip from his waist and held it between the two of them.

"You mean this? I need to send it to the treasure refiners here to take a look so they can determine what you need. I can only give you a preliminary price range."

Dongfang Jinghong took the bone whip and examined it carefully.

Seeing that Dongfang Jinghong was not in a hurry to send it to the treasure refiner, Li Youan was not in a hurry either, but instead studied the [Sky Shuttle] in his hand.

Just as he was about to input his vital energy into the [Sky Shuttle], Dongfang Jinghong stopped him.

"Hey, hey, this is indoors, are you trying to tear the house down?"

Dongfang Jinghong hurriedly stopped Li Youan, who wanted to try out the [Sky Shuttle].

"Come out with me."

Li Youan followed Dongfang Jinghong somewhat awkwardly.

"Haha, I just got it, I'm a little excited."

Upon arriving in the backyard, Li Youan channeled his vital energy into the Sky-Piercing Shuttle.

After absorbing the vital energy, the Sky Shuttle automatically left Li Youan's palm, its size slowly increasing as it left.

Li An felt that he could control the size of the Sky Shuttle by controlling the flow of vital energy.

First, he enlarged the Sky Shuttle to the size of a skateboard, and then Li Youan lightly jumped onto the Sky Shuttle.

Standing on the Sky Shuttle, Li You felt as if the Sky Shuttle had become a part of his body.

With just a thought, the Sky Shuttle can move nimbly forward, backward, upward, or downward.

Thinking about continuing to grow larger, the Sky Shuttle eventually became more than ten meters long.

Li Youan stood on the Sky-Piercing Shuttle, his clothes fluttering in the wind, looking like a banished nobleman.

Dongfang Jinghong looked at Li Youan flying erratically ahead and gently shook his head.

"Ha, just like a child."

Dongfang Jinghong simply called out to Li Youan from afar, "Don't fly out of the Dongfang Treasure Pavilion's area," before continuing to observe the bone whip in her hand.

After demonstrating various maneuvers with the Sky Shuttle in the air, Li Youan put it away with satisfaction.

Li Youan came to Dongfang Jinghong's side and saw that Dongfang Jinghong was still examining his bone whip. Li Youan said.

"Let's go."

"Where are we going?" Dongfang Jinghong asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Go find a treasure refiner. Didn't you say you wanted my bone whip to be examined by a treasure refiner first?"

As Li Youan spoke, he gestured for Dongfang Jinghong to lead the way, but seeing Dongfang Jinghong raise an eyebrow at him, he thought to himself, "No way?"

"You mean, you're the treasure refiner you mentioned?"

"Of course it's me. As a family of treasure refiners, it would be too embarrassing to say that I don't know how to refine treasures."

Dongfang Jinghong was very pleased with Li Youan's current surprise.

"I have one major advantage over other treasure refiners."

Looking at Dongfang Jinghong's waving fingers, Li Youan felt a little strange.

"Advantages?"

"Are you younger than them?"

"Are you prettier than them?"

Looking at the pampered young lady-like Dongfang Jinghong before him, Li Youan couldn't think of any advantages she might have.

"Or is it that the materials you can use are much more precious than theirs? In that case, I can't afford to give them that many spirit stones."

"If you hadn't said that last sentence, I would have slapped you. While I am indeed young and beautiful, don't I have any other redeeming qualities?"

Seeing Dongfang Jinghong's furrowed brows, Li Youan quickly offered an explanation.

"Of course not, Dongfang is also highly skilled, understanding, and incredibly intelligent..."

"Alright, alright, stop flattering me. This bone whip isn't difficult to forge."

"My father taught me a technique for refining magical artifacts back in the family, specifically for creating semi-finished magical artifacts like these. I'll refine them for you this time."

"Of course, because my technique is not very proficient yet, I will take responsibility for any problems that arise."

"That's the biggest advantage of coming to me. I guarantee you compensation if it fails. You absolutely won't find another treasure refiner who makes such a promise right now."

"However, the material of this bone whip itself is quite good, and although the processing method was very rough before."

"But this person is very self-aware and didn't do anything reckless; he just refined it a bit."

"Therefore, it is very easy for me to handle."

Dongfang Jinghong fiddled with the bone whip in his hand again and continued speaking.

"Speaking of which, how did you get this bone whip? I'm quite interested in the person who did the initial processing of the bone whip."

Li Youan was somewhat surprised to hear Dongfang Jinghong's words.

Could it be that I am not only exceptionally talented in martial arts, but also a master at crafting magical treasures?

Seeing the changing expressions on Li Youan's face, Dongfang Jinghong assumed that he had some unspeakable secret.

"If it's inconvenient to talk about it, that's fine. I'm just curious, it won't affect my refining it."

Dongfang Jinghong's words interrupted Li Youan's thoughts, and he immediately looked up at Dongfang Jinghong.

"There's nothing secret about this. It's the spine of a snake demon I killed in the Forest of Ten Thousand Demons. I forged it myself in a cave using lava."

"You? Slayed the snake demon? Magma? Melted snake bones?"

These words are familiar to everyone in the East, but when put together, they feel somewhat unfamiliar.

"You were only at the sixth or seventh level of the Body Tempering Realm back then, but judging from this snake bone, it must be a snake demon at least at the ninth level."

"Besides, you haven't studied artifact crafting, so how could you have successfully smelted this snake bone?"

The more Li Youan talked, the more confused she became. She felt that Li Youan was lying to her and had come up with a very bad excuse.

Li Youan briefly recounted his experience of hunting the snake demon.

"You're really brave to try this."

After listening to Li Youan's story, Dongfang Jinghong gave him a thumbs-up as she spoke.

"Sigh, given the situation at the time, I couldn't think of any other way to survive. At the worst, it was worth it to carry two others."

"Is this what you call refining a treasure? I just felt that the bone was too big, long and heavy, too difficult to hold and not suitable as a weapon, so I threw it into the lava to melt it."

"No, is this acceptable? Is this acceptable?!"

Although Dongfang Jinghong didn't say it aloud, he couldn't help but mentally criticize Li Youan's words.

"So they melted it down because it was too big?"

Many people want to refine treasures, but get stuck at the first step.

It's simply incomprehensible that this kid would step into the world of treasure refining for such a reason.

What's even more outrageous is that they used lava, such a mundane substance.

Dongfang Jinghong felt that her talent was already high enough, but she did not expect that Li Youan would bring surprises everywhere, and that her talent was comparable to her own.

"By the way, I was going to ask you before, which one do you want to choose: alchemy, treasure crafting, or array formation? I now suggest you just focus on treasure crafting. It would be a waste not to use your talent for treasure crafting."

Hearing Dongfang Jinghong's words, Li Youan was very tempted, but she always felt a voice in her heart reminding her to try all three.

"I'm going to collect the cultivation technique this afternoon. I still want to check out all three places, just in case I have a higher talent on another path."

"However, I am still very grateful for Dongfang's suggestion."

Looking at Li Youan's confident expression, Dongfang Jinghong waved his hand.

"Alright, alright, since you're not leaving the city and won't encounter any battles, you can leave the bone whip here now."

"Come pick it up tomorrow afternoon. By then you'll have finished your shift, and you can get the bone whip and prepare for the next steps."

Li Youan nodded, then took off two more snake fangs and handed them to Dongfang Jinghong.

"Could you also melt down these two snake fangs for me? I can make them into hidden weapons or something, whatever you think is best."

Seeing that Li Youan had no other requests,

"Go on, go on, go do your thing. Remember to come find me after your shift."

Seeing that Dongfang Jinghong was seeing the guests off, Li Youan didn't linger and turned to leave, preparing to receive the cultivation technique.

Watching Li Youan's departing figure, Dongfang Jinghong turned and walked towards a room in the corner of the backyard.

"You're really stubborn. Go ahead and try it. In the end, you'll still have to come and practice with me. Then I'll be your master."

As he spoke, Dongfang Jinghong pushed open the door to the treasure refining room.

After entering the treasure refining room, Dongfang Jinghong made several hand seals, and then a magic seal landed on the door, sealing the entire door.

During the process of refining treasures, the treasure refiner is absolutely not allowed to be disturbed.

Looking at the bone whip and snake fangs in his hands, Dongfang Jinghong sat cross-legged in front of the treasure refining furnace and began to ponder.

It's rare to find such suitable materials now, so Dongfang Jinghong is ready to practice her skills.

It's just suitable, not precious. If you want precious materials, Dongfang Jinghong can have as many as he wants.

However, such rough, unrefined blanks suitable for practice were actually quite rare for Dongfang Jinghong.

If a family member were to produce such a crude artifact by a master craftsman, they would be ridiculed.

After some thought, recalling the classics he had read at home, Dongfang Jinghong clapped his hands.

"Okay, that's all."

Immediately, Dongfang Jinghong waved his right hand, and the top of the treasure refining furnace flew off, while the bone whip and two snake fangs flew into the furnace at the same time.

At the same time, Dongfang Jinghong's left hand had already formed a hand seal, and a magic seal flew towards the formation on the ground.

The formation was activated, and the treasure refining furnace also started to run. The temperature in the treasure refining room was rising rapidly, and a barrier rose around Dongfang Jinghong to isolate the high temperature inside the room.

Li Youan went to the street, took out Bai Ze from his pocket, and put it on his shoulder.

"You're acting a little strange today. Why are you hiding in my arms? Didn't you used to love snuggling up to Dongfang Jinghong?"

Bai Ze yawned widely.

"Ah, ha."

"Who said that? My favorite is the sweet and soft flower fairy."

"I'm too tired today, and I don't want to deal with this little girl. Otherwise, she'll give me a good rub, and then how will I be able to go back to sleep?"

"I wanted to snuggle into her arms because the herbs in her sachet smelled so good."

"Why are you so weak now? When will I be able to find a sweet and soft flower fairy?"

Li Youan initially ignored Bai Ze's words, finding the beast utterly unlike a mythical creature.

But upon hearing Bai Ze's last words, Li Youan couldn't hold back any longer.

"No, what do you mean I'm too weak? I've only been cultivating for a short time!"

"You've completely turned the world upside down."

"I want to become stronger too! Give me a magic pill right now, and I'll take you to find the Flower Fairy."

Bai Ze was unaffected by Li Youan's words, turning his head and letting out a soft hum.

"Hmph, you're just too weak. We divine beasts are born like this..."

"Forget it, Master Bai has a long lifespan, Master Bai can wait."

The two, one human and one beast, bickered and argued along the way. Soon, guided by the map, Li Youan arrived at the array master's residence.

Looking at the two characters "Zhen Tang" on the plaque in front of him, Li Youan couldn't help but complain.

"This is too simple."

Without looking any further, Li Youan led Bai Ze through the main gate into the array hall.

Upon arriving at the front desk, Li Youan identified herself and explained the purpose of her visit.

The receptionist called over a waiter, who led Li Youan to a pavilion in the backyard.

"Young man, this is the cultivation technique pavilion, but I can only take you this far; I cannot go inside."

"Once you go inside, there's a machine in the center of the lobby. Place your device on it, and it will verify your emails and your identity."

"Then there will be voice prompts; just follow the instructions."

"There are only templates here; the originals are all in the academy."

"Put the selected technique back into the previous machine along with the terminal, and the template will be burned onto the terminal."

"But you can only keep it for one day, and you must memorize it within that day."

"Alright, let's go in."

After saying this, the waiter opened the door to the cultivation technique pavilion for Li Yun'an and gestured for Li You'an to go in.

Without hesitation, Li Youan stepped directly into the cultivation technique pavilion. The moment he entered, the door closed automatically.

But Li Youan didn't pay attention to the automatically closing door behind him; instead, he looked at the machine in the center of the hall.

Walking up to the machine, Li Youan opened the email and placed the terminal on it, as instructed by the waiter.

Drop drop drop.

The machine started up as soon as the terminal was placed on it, and a red light swept across the terminal and Li Youan's entire body.

Even the white ze on its shoulder was scanned by the red light, but nothing happened.

A metallic beep sounded.

"Identity confirmed, Li Youan."

"Please go to Room A, 3rd Floor, on the second floor to find the required cultivation technique, 'Myriad Manifestations Ascension to Immortality'."

"Due to the special nature of this technique, Li Youan needs to make one last confirmation: do you wish to choose this technique?"

"Confirm your selection."

As soon as Li Youan finished replying, a door on the wall behind the machine opened automatically.

Li Youan retrieved the terminal, walked up the stairs, and soon arrived at the door of Room A, as indicated by the prompt, and opened the door.

"One, two, three. I'll look for the second shelf of this bookshelf."

Li Youan counted as he walked, and soon confirmed the location.

"Here."

Li Youan found "The Myriad Manifestations of Ascension to Immortality" in the very center of the second shelf.

Although he couldn't take out the cultivation manuals next to him, Li An could see that those manuals had been read before, but the "Myriad Manifestations Ascension to Immortality Manual" in front of him was a brand new book.

"Is this technique really that amazing? Nobody's even looked at it. Where did all those comments come from?"

It was only much later that Li Youan learned that many students still had a quota for exchanging cultivation techniques upon graduation.

These people would all choose to exchange for the legendary "Myriad Manifestations Ascension to Immortality Technique".

As graduation approached, these people were all in the academy, not at the front-line base, and they were looking at the original academy copy. This copy from the front-line base, on the other hand, seemed like a new copy.

After exchanging their tokens, the students found they were unable to cultivate, so they left messages on the forum.

Li Youan took the "Myriad Manifestations Ascension to Immortality Technique" back to the machine on the first floor to copy it, put the technique back on the bookshelf, and left the Technique Pavilion.

Upon exiting, I saw the waiter still waiting outside. "Please lead the way," I said.

"There's no need to be so polite."

Led by a servant, Li Youan headed towards the place where he learned about formations.

"I don't know how good my talent is in formations."

Li Youan thought to himself, "I hope it won't be too bad. The subsequent battles will require the coordination of several formations."

After learning about the profession of array master, Li Youan had already designed several combat styles for himself.

The array master plays a crucial role in this.

"The room is just ahead. You can go straight in. A formation master will explain it to you in a moment."

Li Youan looked in the direction the waiter was pointing and saw a standalone building.

A large character "阵" (array) hangs high in the very center.

Li Youan walked to the front of the building and pushed open the central door.

Li Youan was somewhat surprised by the scene inside the room.

"This is……"
