The primordial era began with the mythological age.

Chapter 102 Refining Weapons (Imitation, School District Housing!) (First update, please subscribe and vote)

As it turns out, no one is indispensable.

Taiyi originally planned to personally lead Zhongyue and other human gods to move mountains on the outskirts of the desolate mountains, but after Zhu Dang replaced Zhu Yan as the subject of the dissection, the latter let himself go and mingled among the human race like a fish in water.

So Zhu Yan set out and, with Zhong Yue and the others, carried the mountain back.

Taiyi was happy to let go.

However, to do something well, you must first have the right tools.

At present, Li Ling and others can only refine true divine artifacts at most. Using a refining furnace of the true divine artifact level is inevitably less efficient and makes it difficult to break through the ceiling of their own cultivation level.

Taiyi then reforged the furnace he had previously used into a divine artifact.

This furnace, thanks to the immortal fire from the Phoenix Clan, can achieve twice the result with half the effort without needing to connect with the earth's veins to draw earth fire.

After officially naming the furnace the Undying Divine Furnace, Taiyi felt that since they were going to refine weapons on a large scale, they might as well build a large-scale weapon-refining replica.

One stove is not enough.

On this day, Emperor Yi happened to come to the Hall of Qi and deliver the innate golden silkworm silk.

Previously, the innate golden silkworm divine artifact of the Kongsang God King was finally restored to its original state by her.

Taiyi accepted the gift, thanked the Emperor, and then asked Yidi to borrow the divine fire.

The wasteland is covered by a large formation, making it impossible to use the underground fire veins to refine weapons. The best option would be for the weapon-refining furnace to have its own powerful fire source.

This is the only way to improve the efficiency of weapon crafting.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yi immediately understood the reason and couldn't help but say, "The divine fire I wield is not as good as your immortal fire."

Taiyi explained with a smile, "I want to build a replica of a weapon-refining facility, to refine a batch of weapon-refining furnaces, and to prepare the ignition source."

"Different divine flames have their own unique uses, and there are many different materials for refining weapons, most of which can be used."

"Your fire in the water is perfect for refining impurities in materials, Emperor Yi."

Emperor Yi understood immediately and said, "Of course it's possible."

"I have cultivated the Li Fire, the Blue Spirit Fire of Water and Fire, all of which are the same kind of fire seed for you."

Having said that, He conjured two flames and handed them to Taiyi.

Li Fire is the fire element in the Five Elements theory.

The blue spirit fire in the water is even more mysterious.

After seeing off Yi Di Shi, Tai Yi Shi got up and went to see Hou Tu Shi. He borrowed a fire seed from Hou Tu Shi, which was a primordial fire seed called Yuan Kun Ming Huo.

It is the flame of life!

That was the fusion of three innate true fires: fire from wood, fire from water, and fire from earth. It was the innate fire that Houtu was born with.

Upon returning from Houtu, and gazing at the flames, Taiyi's mind was filled with various fire-based supernatural abilities.

Southern Bright Fire, True Fire of the Sun, Six Ding Divine Fire, Six Bing Divine Fire, Samadhi True Fire, Red Lotus Karmic Fire, Nirvana Fire, Nine Netherworld Fire.

"The Southern Ming Fire is perhaps the easiest for me to cultivate."

"The Yin-Yang Fire of the Six Ding and Six Bing can only be cultivated on specific days. Although the prehistoric world does not use the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches to record years, calculating the time is not difficult for me..."

"The Samadhi Fire is a combination of fire in the air, fire in wood, and fire in stone."

"The Red Lotus Karmic Fire requires understanding the Great Dao of Cause and Effect."

"The Flame of Nirvana is the innate flame of the Phoenix lineage, which can only be cultivated by comprehending the power of Nirvana. The Flame of Immortality originates from the Flame of Nirvana, but it is acquired later in life."

"Nine Netherworld Flames, perhaps it is possible to cultivate them."

……

After some deliberation, Taiyi began to refine a furnace, incorporating three flames into it. In the process, he also made great progress in his mastery of the Dao of Fire.

However, after forging three furnaces at the level of Divine Lords, he had exhausted all the materials he had for forging Divine Lord artifacts.

This is truly a case of "even a skilled cook can't cook without rice!"

After thinking it over, Taiyi's physical body split into two parts, which burrowed underground into the desolate mountains to mine, while his primordial spirit left his body and came to the desolate city of Dahuang to refine weapons.

Palaces of divine artifact level, or even true divine artifact level, are arranged according to yin and yang, the three powers, the four symbols, the five elements, and the nine palaces, forming a huge palace complex.

Underground, copper pillars form the base of the array, creating a large formation.

However, it was specially crafted by the Taiyi clan to transform the underground evil energy into spiritual energy to nourish the forging of artifacts.

Although the evil energy accumulated in this area has been drained by the Great Wilderness Seal, the Wilderness Mountains are still constantly eroding it with evil energy.

Previously, all of it had been intercepted by the Great Wilderness Seal, but now a portion has been released to allow the evil energy to enter the newly built Great Wilderness City and be refined by the great formation.

Currently, the physical bodies of both the Emperor and the Giant Spirit are here.

Upon seeing Taiyi, Juling laughed and said, "Brother, the great formation is basically complete."

"Then we can begin operating this weapon-refining simulation."

Taiyi immediately took out the four refining furnaces and placed them into the core of the great formation in the four main halls.

The grand formation operated on its own, and the surging spiritual energy of heaven and earth poured into the furnace, causing the four divine artifacts to begin operating.

Chi Yang, who was appointed as the manager of the weapon-refining workshop, immediately led many human weapon refiners into the four palaces to familiarize themselves with the weapon-refining furnaces.

Chi Yangshi comes from the Phoenix Clan and has the bloodline of the Vermilion Bird. He is exceptionally skilled in the art of fire and became a True God a hundred years ago. He is second to none among the many weapon refiners of the human race. Therefore, Taiyi appointed him to manage the weapon refining workshop and preside over the weapon refining affairs of the human race.

Of course, nowadays, there are not only the four refining furnaces of the Taiyi clan, but also various refining furnaces made by human weapon refiners such as the Chiyang clan.

Whether they are true divine artifacts or divine artifacts, they are now scattered throughout palaces.

However, the entire weapon-forging replica is centered around the divine artifact forged by the Taiyi clan.

After becoming familiar with the different characteristics of the weapon-refining furnace, Chi Yang and the others began to melt materials and attempt to refine weapons.

Different materials are sent to different refining furnaces for tempering and refining, and finally converge in the Immortal Furnace, which is personally operated by Chi Yang.

Coming from the Phoenix Clan, he was most familiar with this weapon-refining furnace.

Seeing everyone working together in an orderly manner, Tai Yi was very satisfied.

It has a bit of an assembly line feel to it.

Moreover, each link in the chain involves different apprentices, cultivating new talents and successors.

From selecting materials and refining them, to the final refining and even the final quenching.

Prior to this, there were also Daoist patterns designed for divine artifacts.

Once you follow a set process, someone with talent and a willingness to learn can learn much faster than someone who tries to figure it out on their own.

Refining weapons is both a practice and a cultivation!

Refining weapons, crafting talismans, cultivating spiritual and divine herbs, medicine, setting up formations...

Taiyi pondered to himself.

In the current situation, all the territories that can be occupied are already occupied.

Even places without a master, such as desolate mountains and other dangerous places, actually have a master.

Humans have a lowly status, but now that they are gaining momentum in the Longmen Mountains, they can no longer remain as raw material suppliers if they want to continue to develop upwards; they can only engage in reprocessing.

Currently, in terms of crafting talismans and cultivating spiritual and divine herbs, the human race is already second to none in the Longmen Mountains.

The crafting of weapons is currently developing rapidly.

When the world is at peace, medicine is used less.

However, it still flourished in the Longmen Mountains because medicine not only treats illness but also prevents illness, and can regulate yin and yang and the five elements to bring one to the optimal state of cultivation.

"Alchemy..."

Tai Yi thought of this skill and then kept it in mind.

Time flies.

With their cooperation and the help of a powerful forging furnace, a divine artifact was forged in just half a year under the supervision of the Chi Yang clan.

In an instant, the entire weapon-refining workshop was engulfed in a sea of ​​cheers.

The three members of the Tai family did not get involved.

Even the most skilled weapon refiner, with the highest level of cultivation, can only create true divine artifacts.

Although, the ability to forge a divine artifact is ultimately due to the materials used.

After all, the Great Dao is fundamental; without the Great Dao of the Divine Lord Realm, it is impossible to forge a Divine Lord's artifact.

However, having materials for the Great Dao of the Divine Lord Realm does not guarantee that one can forge a Divine Lord artifact.

After the cheers subsided, the three members of the Tai family joined in.

First came praise, then Taiyi and Yidi pointed out the shortcomings and mistakes made by Chiyang and the others in the process of refining the weapon.

The design of the drawings was inadequate, and the core materials were not used to their fullest potential.

There are shortcomings in the selection of materials.

There are flaws in the quenching of materials, shortcomings in temperature control, etc.

Giant Spirit did not speak.

He also knew how to forge weapons, but his technique was rather crude, relying instead on his Taoist cultivation.

When it comes to weapon crafting skills, he's still not as good as Chi Yang Shi!

After their comments, the three members of the Taiyi clan left the weapon-refining workshop, only sending out clones to provide further guidance every so often.

As time went by, the weapon-refining system got on track and became increasingly prosperous, gradually refining divine artifacts for many true gods in the Longmen Mountains.

In fact, most deities are capable of crafting divine artifacts.

However, everyone has their own area of ​​expertise.

If we can get something better, then it's worth spending more materials.

A true god possesses a divine artifact, but this is extremely difficult to achieve.

However, if one possesses a divine artifact, breaking through to the Divine Lord realm becomes much more likely.

This is the demand!

If there is no demand, then guide demand and create demand.

As the Great Wilderness City gradually took shape, with weapon crafting as its center, many human gods and cultivators began to settle there in large numbers.

After hundreds of years of governance, and with the Taiyi clan using a basin of innate five-colored soil given by the Qilin clan as a foundation and expending a large amount of innate five elements energy to continuously cultivate it, manors were built in the Great Wilderness City surrounded by mountains, and human tribes migrated out from the Longmen Mountains.

First, the original Thai tribe was split in two.

Some remained in Xiaocang Mountain, while others entered the Southern Wilderness City.

The so-called Southern Wilderness evolved gradually after Taiyi divided the wilderness into two with the Great Wilderness Seal.

South of the Great Wilderness Seal is the Southern Wilderness, and north of it is the Northern Wilderness.

On this day, in Aoqi, the river god of Longyuan, a message quickly spread throughout the circles of demigods and gods in the Longmen Mountains, thanks to the efforts of the true god Ji Jiang and other deities from the dragon race.

Amazing phenomena have appeared within the Great Wilderness City of the Southern Wilderness!

"Feng Lingzi, don't try to fool us. There's a powerful array covering the underground spiritual veins in this wasteland, making it difficult to even detect spiritual energy. Where would you find any signs of Dao?"

Walking on the spacious, clean, and tidy streets of the Great Wilderness City, a deity of demigod originates from the Dao.

The others nodded in agreement, none of them quite believing it.

If it weren't for Feng Lingzi, none of them would have wanted to come.

Feng Lingzi, with his long hair flowing over his shoulders and a plain white Daoist robe fluttering in the wind, exuding a free and easy air, laughed and said, "If I were deceiving you, I would lend you each a hundred years of my Samadhi Fan Wind for meditation!"

Everyone was overjoyed upon hearing this.

"It's settled then!"

"We'd rather cheat than give up!"

……

Soon, the group entered a palace under Feng Lingzi's guidance.

Feng Lingzi familiarly instructed the human maids in the palace to serve various spiritual fruits, fragrant tea, and snacks, and invited his friends to sit down.

Everyone else was quite curious when they saw it.

Someone asked, "Feng Lingzi, is this your training ground in the Great Wilderness City?"

"These humans are yours too?"

Feng Lingzi took a sip of fragrant tea and smiled, "Indeed."

"This palace has been taken over by me. Maids are part of the palace's service, but they must not be insulted."

Everyone was speechless upon hearing this; having a good father really is amazing!

Immediately, everyone's attention shifted, and they inquired about the whereabouts of the Daoist image.

Feng Lingzi smiled mysteriously and said, "No rush, no rush. Please enjoy some human refreshments first; they are quite interesting."

Helpless, everyone could only patiently wait.

Time flies, the sun sets and the moon rises.

The previously languid Feng Lingzi immediately sat up straight, and above their heads, the palace dome, illuminated by the moonlight, also showed a change.

The Dao flows and ripples, and various extraordinary phenomena gradually condense and appear.

The demigods invited by Feng Lingzi were immediately dumbfounded, and then became deeply engrossed in it, unable to extricate themselves.

In the blink of an eye, the night passed, the Daoist image faded, and the crowd awoke, still feeling unsatisfied.

Feng Lingzi smiled and looked at her friends, asking, "How about it?"

Are you disappointed?

Everyone stared at him, and a demigod named Kui Yao said, "Feng Lingzi, why is there a Dao image appearing in this palace? If I'm not mistaken, this is just an ordinary divine artifact, isn't it?"

Feng Lingzi nodded: "It is indeed just a divine artifact, but this image is not fake."

"Within this Great Wilderness City, many palaces display Daoist images, each with its own unique characteristics."

Glug!

As if swallowing hard, she exclaimed, "Feng Lingzi, how is this possible?"

Feng Lingzi chuckled: "How is it impossible?"

"You all witnessed the Daoist phenomenon last night."

"I have also heard that in the core area of ​​the Great Wilderness City, the palaces there are even capable of comprehending the Dao of the God Lord Realm, or even the God Sovereign Realm."

"Unfortunately, I am not qualified to go. Otherwise, I would have gone bankrupt to rent a palace to comprehend the Dao within."

Upon hearing this, Kui Yao immediately understood and quickly asked, "What is meant by 'rental contract'?"

Feng Lingzi quickly explained: "A hundred years, five hundred years, a thousand years... the time limit is given. With rare and precious materials and all kinds of spiritual objects, one can obtain the right to live in the palace and comprehend the Dao within."

He was very proactive; the more people he recruited, the more deals he closed, the longer he could stay in the palace.

If the Father God had not been on good terms with humanity, He would not have had such an opportunity.

This scene also occurred in other palaces of the Great Wilderness City.

Compared to Mount Tai, the Longmen Mountains are just an inconspicuous little mountain village, with no amazing blessed lands or natural phenomena or signs of Taoism.

Taiyi believes that the potential demand here is extremely strong.

As long as you are willing to reveal your own Daoist essence so that others can observe and comprehend it.

He's willing to give it up!

They are not afraid that the manifestation of their Dao will allow those with ulterior motives to discover the flaws and weaknesses in their own path.

His cultivation was constantly improving, and his Dao was constantly evolving. The Dao phenomena he presented were all from several generations ago.

Refining a batch of such palaces would allow one to collect rent without lifting a finger, with a continuous supply of rare and precious materials—a win-win situation without any cost!
