I'm determined to become an immortal!

Yuanxia Immortal City, Shangyang Ward.

In the cramped main hall of Cave No. 48, He Sheng and Heng Daoyuan sat facing each other across a table.

A pot of spiritual tea sat on the table, its aroma filling the air. He Sheng was looking through the list of special-sale materials that Heng Daoyuan had presented to him.

This list is a specially made jade bamboo slip. When one's divine sense sinks into it, the names, grades, quantities, and even prices of various spiritual materials appear one by one. There are hundreds or even thousands of items.

"Senior, in the past year, you consigned two mid-grade auxiliary magic artifacts, the Bright Water Spirit Pearl, to our Sitong Chamber of Commerce. The selling price was 640 low-grade spirit stones."

In addition, fifteen superior-grade magic weapons, the Cold Moon Arc Light Swords, were sold for 21,240 low-grade spirit stones, bringing the total to 21,880 spirit stones.

As Heng Daoyuan reported the accounts, he discreetly observed He Sheng's expression.

When He Sheng approached him more than a year ago, he was just giving it a try.

After all, the binding force of cooperative weapon refiners is not strong. Most of the cultivators who have the title of "cooperative" with the Sitong Chamber of Commerce are only half-hearted and can only provide stable supplies.

But this one is different from his predecessor.

Since the start of the partnership, we have been regularly restocking, and the quality has remained remarkably consistent, with all products being of excellent quality.

This stable output capability is extremely rare among independent weapon cultivators.

What's even more remarkable is that the pure and spiritual aura inherent in water-refined magical artifacts is especially favored by cultivators who practice water and wood magic, yet water-refined magical artifacts are extremely rare on the market.

Especially the Cold Moon Arc Sword, which often sells out quickly as soon as it's on the shelves, without the help of the staff. Now it even has repeat customers.

Heng Daoyuan not only met his sales target with this batch of water-refined swords, but also made a considerable profit from the price difference.

This alone earned him several thousand spirit stones last year, which is no small amount; it's much more than his annual salary.

Keep in mind that he is only a Qi Refining stage cultivator, yet his income is almost exceeding that of some Foundation Establishment cultivators.

That's why he was even more enthusiastic when he visited today than usual.

He Sheng put down the bamboo slips and nodded slightly:

"Thank you for your help, Manager Heng."

He had a good idea of ​​the amount of income, which was roughly in line with his previous estimates. Now, he was more concerned about the exclusive sales.

According to the agreement between the Sitong Chamber of Commerce and the cooperating weapon refiners, 30% of the total sales amount is the exclusive sales quota, which is the purchase right for a little over 6,500 spirit stones.

The exclusive right to sell is limited to spiritual materials below the third tier, and priority supply is guaranteed at the lowest market price.

For He Sheng, this quota was mainly used to purchase Divine Sand, since it was a necessity for cultivating the Divine Artifact Bottle Forging Method.

However, after carefully scanning the list of spiritual materials in the bamboo slip from beginning to end, he actually discovered quite a few good things.

For example, Xuanbing Jade is a rare and high-grade second-tier spiritual material that is rarely sold on the market, yet this jade slip indicates that it is in ample supply.

He Sheng was quite tempted by this item.

He possessed the Cold Soul Mystic Crystal, a third-grade low-level treasure material given to him by the Star-Backed Mystic Turtle, which was also the core material he envisioned for refining the prototype of a magic weapon.

However, the Cold Soul Mystic Crystal Stone is extremely cold in nature. If it is used alone to forge the prototype of a magic weapon, its properties will be too singular and extreme. It must be supplemented with other spiritual materials to harmonize its properties in order to stabilize the structure.

This Xuanbing Jade is one of the most suitable auxiliary materials for refining ice-type magic weapons, as recorded in the "Secrets of Refining Weapons in Tianyue Mountain".

This item possesses an extremely rare characteristic: it can absorb and harmonize excessive cold energy, transforming it into a more gentle and enduring icy spiritual essence, perfectly complementing the properties of the Cold Soul Mystic Crystal.

He Sheng examined the bamboo slip closely and found that the price of Xuanbing Jade was marked as 1,200 low-grade spirit stones per tael.

To obtain enough auxiliary materials, at least fifteen taels are needed, which adds up to nearly twenty thousand spirit stones.

His current disposable sales quota is only 6,500 spirit stones, which is naturally far from enough.

He Sheng remained silent for a moment, then finally looked away from the list, thinking to himself:

"Forging the prototype of the magic weapon is not the most urgent task. The most important thing right now is the 'Divine Artifact Bottle Forging Method'."

He composed himself and looked up at Heng Daoyuan.

"Manager Heng, please exchange three thousand spirit stones for the Divine Sand first. Leave the remaining exclusive sales quota as is for now."

In addition, I have twelve Cold Moon Arc Swords here.

He Sheng placed a storage bag on the table and gently pushed it over.

Heng Daoyuan took it in his hand, scanned it with his divine sense, and could no longer hide the smile on his face.

The twelve Cold Moon Arc Swords remain remarkably consistent in quality, all being of excellent grade, with one of them even subtly exuding the spiritual charm of a fine piece.

"The quality of the swords used by the seniors is widely recognized."

To be honest, a few days ago several customers came specifically to ask when we would restock.

As Heng Daoyuan spoke, he carefully put away the storage bag, then took out a blank consignment certificate from his sleeve and filled it out on the spot.

He Sheng smiled and didn't take it too seriously. After all, it was just a high-grade magic weapon. He thought it was just because water-refined magic weapons were scarce on the market, and things were valued for their rarity.

"I am busy with matters concerning you, senior, so I will take my leave now."

"I will have the divine cinnabar delivered to your residence that afternoon, so as not to delay your affairs, senior."

Heng Daoyuan was also a decisive person; once he finished his business, he immediately took his leave.

He Sheng looked at the consignment certificate in his hand and murmured:

"We now have a stable supply of Divine Sand. Yang Wanshi will deliver it this afternoon, and we can begin to try cultivating the Divine Artifact Bottle Forging Method."

The difficulty in cultivating the "Divine Artifact Bottle Forging Method" lies in using divine sense as a special spiritual material to inscribe a spatial restriction, but the beginner only needs to learn one spatial restriction.

He Sheng had previously worried that he might make a mistake when inscribing the void restriction, but during the process of refining the Blood Poison Mother-Child Blade, he used the Mindful Ripples Intent to enhance his divine sense and personally inscribed two void restrictions. In the end, there was not a single mistake, which greatly boosted his confidence.

In the afternoon,

As the sun began to set, the phonograph outside the cave entrance rang, signaling the arrival of Yang Wanshi.

"Senior, I have been sent by Manager Heng to deliver the Divine Sand to you."

..."

Yang Wanshi respectfully presented a peach-colored wooden box.

He Sheng took the wooden box, opened it, and saw that the inside was lined with soft velvet cloth, on which dozens of small jade bottles were neatly arranged.

Each jade bottle is only the size of a thumb, with a translucent body that allows glimpses of the fine silver-white sand inside.

He casually took out a bottle, uncorked it, and poured some into his palm.

The divine sand was extremely fine and light to the touch, with uniform particles like stardust. It emitted a faint silvery-white spiritual light in the palm of the hand and had a warm and smooth texture.

When one probes into it with one's divine sense, one can faintly sense the tiny porous structure inside the sand grains. It is this unique structure that allows it to bear the power of the void restriction and stabilize the form of the artifact formed by one's divine sense.

He Sheng nodded in satisfaction, put away the wooden box, gave Yang Wanshi a few spirit stones as a reward, and then sent him away.

He closed the mansion gate, walked straight through the courtyard, and entered the quiet room in the backyard.

The quiet room was small and simply furnished, containing nothing but a futon and a low table.

He Sheng sat cross-legged on the futon and took out the jade bottles containing the Harmonizing Sand one by one, arranging them neatly in front of him.

Then, he closed his eyes and began to recall the introductory techniques of the "Divine Artifact Bottle Forging Method" in his mind.

"The first step of this method is quite difficult. You must use your own divine consciousness as spiritual material to inscribe a complete spatial restriction in your sea of ​​consciousness."

Engraving a void restriction already consumes a great deal of spiritual energy. On the other hand, spiritual energy is also used as the spiritual material for engraving the void restriction, which is equivalent to doubling the consumption. It is very easy to run out of spiritual energy.

The first empty restriction in the "Divine Artifact Bottle Forging Method" is called "Hidden Artifact Restriction". It is equivalent to the base of the entire Divine Artifact Bottle. Although its structure is not complicated, some restriction patterns in the center need to be drawn back and forth.

He Sheng repeatedly pondered the incantation in his mind, and sketched the restriction pattern diagram of the Daoist artifact with his divine sense no less than a hundred times before he officially began to cultivate it three days later.

Let's begin.

He Sheng took a deep breath, first visualizing the subtle ripples in the mind, then using his divine sense as a sword, he made the first stroke in his sea of ​​consciousness.

hum...

Deep within his sea of ​​consciousness, a faint silver light appeared out of thin air.

He Sheng was highly focused, his mind almost taut.

The engraving of the Void Forbidden Zone is different from that of the Spirit Forbidden Zone.

The spiritual restriction is attached to the spiritual material, and the pattern of the restriction can be seen in the physical object;

However, the Void Restriction is constructed out of thin air. Each pattern must be suspended in the void. If the spatial relationship between the nodes is slightly off, the entire restriction pattern will collapse instantly.

After the first stroke is made, the second stroke follows immediately.

Then,

The third stroke,

The fourth stroke...
