Primordial Era: All-Conceptual-Level Weapon Forging, Whoever Uses It Will Die.

……

On the way back to Sanxian Cave.

Bixiao remained in a state of extreme excitement.

He clutched the sword of fatherly love, as solid as a mountain, tightly in his hand.

Every now and then, it would wave its arms and hum an unknown tune.

"Hehe, this is so awesome!"

"Didn't you see Cihang's expression just now? Her face was as red as a monkey's bottom!"

"If Hiroshige ever dares to mess with me again, I'll make sure he's dead!"

Compared to Bixiao's carefree nature.

Yunxiao and Qiongxiao exchanged a glance.

Their faces showed a hint of confusion.

"Big sister, this magic weapon is truly powerful; even a Golden Immortal couldn't defend against it..."

Qiongxiao whispered.

"But, actually saying those things in public... I still feel so embarrassed."

Yunxiao also sighed and rubbed his temples.

"Yes, its power is strong, but the side effects... do indeed challenge one's Dao heart."

"If it were up to me, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to draw the sword."

"However, it is truly remarkable that my elder brother was able to forge such a treasure."

"If we have suitable materials in the future..."

"Perhaps we could have our elder brother refine some... well, some with slightly less severe side effects."

The three sisters chatted along the way, parted ways with Zhao Gongming at the crossroads, and returned to their respective caves.

……

Zhao Gongming returned to his cave and immediately closed the restrictions.

The long-awaited system notification sounded in my mind.

[Ding! Congratulations, host! Your creation of the 100% Bare-Handed Blade Catching Holy Sword has been a resounding success in its first real combat application!]

[Impact: The Chan Sect's Golden Immortal Cihang Daoist publicly committed suicide, greatly boosting the morale of the Jie Sect disciples, and the host's reputation began to emerge.]

[Critical hit bonus triggered!]

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the supreme innate spiritual treasure, the Nine Dragon Cauldron!]

Om-!

A large, ancient bronze cauldron, its entire body shrouded in the phantom images of nine crimson-gold dragons, appeared out of thin air in the center of the cave.

The moment the cauldron hit the ground, the earth fire within the entire cave instantly boiled, as if paying homage to a king.

"The Nine Dragon Cauldron?!"

Zhao Gongming's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he reached out and stroked the dragon patterns on the cauldron.

This is no ordinary defensive magical artifact.

It is a top-grade furnace specifically designed for refining weapons!

[Nine Dragon Cauldron: Contains nine innate dragon flames, which can greatly increase the success rate of weapon forging, shorten the forging time, and has a chance to upgrade the grade of the magic weapon, and even endow the magic weapon with a trace of dragon's might.]

"Good treasure, with this Nine Dragon Cauldron..."

"From now on, I'll be much more adept at crafting conceptual magical artifacts!"

Just as Zhao Gongming was getting excited, he suddenly sensed that the restrictions outside the cave had been activated.

"Junior Brother Gongming, Senior Sister Jinling, have come to pay their respects."

Zhao Gongming raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself.

So this is it?

It seems that this first order is from Senior Sister Jinling.

He put away the Nine Dragon Cauldron, waved his hand to break the restriction, and went out to greet them with a beaming smile.

"It's Senior Sister Jinling! Please come in, please come in!"

The two entered the cave, took their seats as host and guest, and exchanged a few brief pleasantries.

The Holy Mother of Golden Spirit is straightforward and doesn't mince words; she gets straight to the point.

"Junior brother, your senior sister has come today to ask you for a favor."

The Holy Mother of Golden Spirit stared intently at Zhao Gongming.

"I also want a concept-level magic weapon like Bixiao."

"Ideally... a sword."

Zhao Gongming feigned surprise.

"Oh? Senior Sister's cultivation is profound, and her swordsmanship has been truly passed down from Master. Does she still need such external tools?"

The Holy Mother of Golden Spirit sighed, somewhat helplessly.

"Junior brother, you may not know this, but although I cultivate the way of the sword..."

"But in front of Senior Brother Duobao, he always loses more than he wins."

"Senior Brother Duobao is at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm, just one step away from the Taiyi realm."

"Moreover, it possesses numerous magical treasures, making its defenses completely impenetrable."

"Every time I spar with him, my sword energy can't break through his defense, it's really frustrating."

"Therefore, I would like to request an item that can restrain Senior Brother Duobao."

"Or rather... a magic weapon that can help me win just once!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gongming understood.

Duobao Daoren was the senior disciple of the Jie Sect.

He is indeed very powerful, and he is also a multi-talented child.

It's really difficult to break through his defenses.

"Since Senior Sister has spoken, Junior Brother will do his best."

Zhao Gongming picked up his teacup, took a sip, and his tone became serious.

"However, my senior sister also heard what I said earlier."

"A concept-level magic weapon, defying the heavens, ordinary materials simply cannot withstand that causal power."

"It's not that my junior brother is being difficult; it's simply the way of Heaven."

The Holy Mother of Golden Spirit smiled slightly and said confidently.

"Don't worry about that, junior brother. Since senior sister is here, she has naturally made preparations."

As she spoke, she flipped her palm, revealing a piece of metal exuding a sharp and powerful aura.

A strange metal with faint signs of starlight appearing and disappearing on its surface appeared in the palm of the hand.

"This is the essence of Venus's core gold."

"It was given to me by my master when he distributed treasures back then."

"Possessing the ultimate killing power and the laws of Geng Metal, I wonder if you are qualified?"

[Ding! High-grade refining material detected: Taibai Star Core Gold Essence.]

[Rating: Pass.]

[Matching Solution: Can be used to craft magic items with guaranteed hit/armor penetration capabilities.]

Upon hearing the system notification, Zhao Gongming's eyes lit up.

This Senior Sister Jinling is indeed a rich woman!

This material is more than a hundred times better than the scrap metal I used before!

"That's enough, that's more than enough!"

Zhao Gongming took the materials and, without saying a word, immediately brought out the Nine Dragon Cauldron he had just obtained.

hold head high--!

A dragon's roar echoed throughout the cave, and nine phantom fire dragons coiled out.

He swallowed the piece of Taibai Star Core Gold Essence in an instant.

"This is... a top-grade innate spiritual treasure-level cauldron?!"

Golden Spirit Mother's pupils contracted, and her evaluation of Zhao Gongming rose to a new level once again.

"Junior Brother Gongming not only comprehended the concept-based weapon crafting method."

"He actually possesses such a valuable treasure... It seems I've been too low-key before."

Zhao Gongming ignored Jin Ling's shock.

He concentrated intently on casting the incantation and began the refining process.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side of Kunlun Mountain, near the Yuxu Palace, lies the Chanjiao (Chan Sect) Buddhist temple.

Cihang Daoren was bowing his head and covering his face with his sleeve.

He hurried back to his cave, afraid of being recognized.

The experience I just had still haunted me like a nightmare.

Unfortunately, as the saying goes, what you fear most is what happens.

Love came around the corner, just finished turning the corner.

They bumped into a Taoist priest dressed in white with a kind face.

The visitor was also a disciple of the Chan Sect, a good friend of Cihang, the Taoist Puxian.

"What a coincidence! Isn't this Brother Cihang?"

Puxian's eyes lit up, and he quickly came closer.

He asked with a gossipy look on his face.

"Senior brother, were you crying just now? You seem a bit off."

"I heard you went to Qilin Cliff to reunite with your relatives, what's going on?"

Puxian lowered his voice, his eyes gleaming with a thirst for knowledge.

"Senior brother, given our relationship, there's no need to hide anything."

"Actually, I'm very emotional, and I felt very angry after hearing about it."

"Zhao Gongming and Bixiao dare to live but not admit it; this is absolutely outrageous!"

boom!

Cihang's already flushed face instantly turned red.

Shame, indignation, grievance, and anger all rushed into my heart at once.

His already delicate and handsome face was now flushed red.

There were even tear stains at the corners of her eyes.

It even has a strangely coquettish feel to it.

"roll!!!"

"Get out of here!!!"

Cihang stomped her feet and let out a sharp roar.

"No, no, don't talk nonsense!"

"Puxian, are you sick?!"

"That's a rumor, a rumor, don't you understand?!"

"Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast!"

"You...you're all bullying me!"

Cihang completely lost her composure and pushed Puxian away.

He covered his face and ran back to his cave, crying, because he was truly too ashamed to face anyone.

Puxian was left standing there, scratching his head, looking completely bewildered.

"Why are you so angry... Is it because I hit the nail on the head, and you're getting mad?"

……

Inside Zhao Gongming's cave, at the Jie Sect.

As the last dragon roar faded from within the Nine Dragon Cauldron.

A strange fluctuation spread out instantly.

"It's done!"

Zhao Gongming reached out and summoned a uniquely shaped magical artifact into his hand.

The Holy Mother of Golden Spirit hurriedly stepped forward, her eyes full of anticipation.

"Junior brother, is this the magic weapon that will allow me to defeat Senior Brother Duobao?"

"What...what is it?"

Zhao Gongming looked at the magic weapon in his hand.

A knowing smirk curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Senior sister, with this treasure, let alone Senior Brother Duobao..."

"Even if Guang Chengzi came, he would have to obediently give way."

"However, the way to use it requires a bit of a test of your aura, Senior Sister."
