Lingxiao Immortal Clan.

(I'll update extra tomorrow, thank you all so much for your support!)

In addition, the complete set of Crimson Yuan Flying Knives is composed of two high-grade fifth-tier weapon patterns: Crimson Yuan Blazing Fire Weapon Pattern and Crimson Yuan Sharp Weapon Pattern, as well as many common weapon patterns.

The Crimson Yuan Sharp Weapon Pattern can greatly enhance the sharpness of the Crimson Yuan Flying Knife.

The Crimson Fiery Weapon Pattern allows the throwing knife to wield the domineering Crimson Fiery Weapon.

This fire is a pure yang fire with extremely strong power, which is the nemesis of many evil methods, and it can also gain some advantages when facing ordinary attacks.

However, such patterns are relatively difficult to inscribe.

'The success of this weapon forging depends on this step.'

Ling Pengyun took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and then used his divine sense to simultaneously condense nine divine sense pens.

He then engraved patterns on each of the nine wooden throwing knives.

However, those patterns on the artifacts are not mutually exclusive.

Even the very essence of those nine wooden throwing knives was extremely averse to them.

In an instant, the condition of the nine wooden throwing knives inside them became chaotic.

Countless sources of power and artifact patterns began to surge, unleashing an extremely powerful spiritual energy fluctuation, comparable even to the full-force attack of an ordinary mid-to-late stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

Moreover, even though the nine wooden throwing knives were made of sturdy materials and had been tempered to an extremely robust foundation, they were now struggling to withstand the strain, as if they were about to burst, becoming increasingly bulging, and the situation was not good.

'The method of suppressing powerful artifacts!'

"Give me the town!"

Ling Pengyun raised an eyebrow slightly, intending to get serious. He immediately activated the special weapon-refining method in his family's weapon-refining heritage that was specifically designed to suppress such weapon pattern riots.

This method originated from the ancient sect, Chaoxia Immortal Sect, and was further improved by Ling Pengyun with his extraordinary comprehension, so its grade not only reached the fifth-grade upper level.

Furthermore, its quality is quite exceptional.

Its effects are therefore stronger.

In addition, Ling Pengyun's divine sense had already reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, and his cultivation level was still at the late stage of the veteran Nascent Soul stage.

The move he used was extremely powerful.

As nine special weapon-suppressing seals appeared one after another and flowed into the nine flying knives, they immediately became like mountains, firmly suppressing the violent surge of the nine flying knives' origins.

The situation with the nine throwing knives also improved.

However, Ling Pengyun's energy expenditure also increased significantly as a result, and he even felt mentally exhausted.

After all, he now needs to maintain the artifact-suppressing technique while also inscribing artifact patterns, which is really tiring.

Fortunately, Ling Pengyun's cultivation was quite strong, and he had also summoned the Black Dragon Armor to wear. With the help of the countless spiritual energies stored within the Black Dragon Armor, he was able to barely withstand the attack.

As time went on, he performed steadily this time and finally succeeded in engraving all the artifact patterns onto the nine wooden throwing knives.

'Refine!'

Immediately afterwards, Ling Pengyun channeled more spiritual energy into the Silver Moon Refining Furnace, summoning a massive Silver Moon Weapon Fire to continuously refine it.

Ultimately, the essence of those nine flying knives merged with the many newly inscribed patterns, becoming one.

Buzz buzz buzz!!!

The nine wooden throwing knives suddenly seemed to come alive, flashing with spiritual light and causing a shockwave in the heavens and earth.

Even more surprisingly, a fifth-grade high-level celestial treasure tribulation cloud gradually appeared in the sky above Cangxuan Mountain.

It was filled with terrifying lightning snakes, exuding an extremely powerful aura.

'That tribulation cloud is quite unusual; it's at least several times stronger than a typical high-grade fifth-tier tribulation cloud. I'm afraid even an ordinary late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator might not be able to withstand such a tribulation cloud.'

'It seems the set of throwing knives I crafted this time is quite extraordinary.'

Ling Pengyun, who was in the cave, was slightly surprised after sensing the situation in the sky with his divine sense.

His expression became even more serious as he looked at the nine wooden throwing knives inside the furnace, as if he were looking at a treasure.

Subsequently, to prevent the next set of flying knives from being destroyed by the tribulation lightning, he specially summoned his natal spiritual treasures, such as the Five Elements Hundred Treasures River, to protect it.

If anything goes wrong, he can promptly activate the Five Elements Treasures River and other treasures to come to his rescue.

In addition, ordinary methods of interfering with the tribulation lightning may cause the heavens and earth to repel each other, thereby attracting even stronger tribulation lightning.

However, that set of throwing knives was made by Ling Pengyun, and it was more or less imbued with a large amount of Ling Pengyun's aura.

Under such circumstances, Ling Pengyun's assistance in helping him overcome the tribulation lightning should not be a problem.

Immediately afterwards, Ling Pengyun began to transmit his voice to the other cultivators in Cangxuan Mountain, telling them to leave Cangxuan Mountain quickly to avoid being affected by the tribulation clouds.

……

at the same time.

At this moment, outside the gate of the weapon-refining room in Ling Pengyun's cave.

'I never expected that my husband's crafting of his first high-level spiritual treasure would go so smoothly after his seclusion. After all, the fact that the treasure he crafted had already attracted tribulation clouds means that his crafting this time was successful.'

"Next, all we need to do is wait for it to pass through the tribulation lightning."

"It seems that my husband's previous seclusion and refining of weapons was indeed as extraordinary as he said."

'This matter will be of great benefit to my husband himself, and even our clan will likely benefit greatly.'

Yan Siyi, who had been protecting Ling Pengyun recently, looked up at the sky with joy in her eyes.

"Peng Yun's skills as a high-level weapon refiner are truly impressive..."

In other caves on Cangxuan Mountain, the Star Sea Ancestor and other high-ranking members of the Cangxuan lineage who were cultivating in seclusion here also noticed the movement of the tribulation clouds. They all looked over and showed some envy.

After all, if this matter succeeds, Ling Pengyun will also be able to refine a powerful fifth-grade high-quality spiritual treasure.

Such treasures are extremely rare, and even they don't have many of them.

Immediately afterwards, they all left Cangxuan Mountain, giving Ling Pengyun a quiet environment to help him overcome the tribulation lightning.

……

quite a while.

After a long period of preparation, the tribulation clouds finally unleashed the first bolt of lightning.

It was incredibly thick, crackling with countless black lightning bolts, descending from the sky with extraordinary power, even comparable to a full-force attack from an early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

In addition, such precious lightning can be used to refine spiritual treasures.

"go."

Therefore, Ling Pengyun raised his hand and immediately activated the nine newly forged, semi-finished spiritual treasures, the Crimson Origin Flying Knives, which swept out and met the tribulation lightning head-on.

Although that set of throwing knives wasn't a true magical treasure, its foundation was still strong.

In addition, the various artifact patterns it contains are also extremely powerful, so it temporarily possesses 50-60% of the power of an ordinary fifth-grade high-quality spiritual treasure.

Their power was quite good, and they were extremely sharp. In fact, countless Crimson Yuan Fires surged from their bodies, transforming into unique and extraordinary small flying knives of flame.

They are also extremely fast, like fiery dragons soaring straight into the sky.

Soon, they collided with the lightning bolt in the sky, creating countless roars.

Boom! ! !

Tiny bolts of lightning and flames scattered in all directions, causing the heavens and earth to tremble.

Immediately afterwards, nine flying knives, resembling fire dragons, ruthlessly cleaved the tribulation lightning into countless fragments.

It even absorbed the remaining essence of the tribulation lightning to temper itself.

The tribulation lightning was, after all, born from it, so they can be considered to be of the same origin.

In addition, there is feedback from heaven and earth.

They can then make perfect use of that source.

For a moment, their aura became even more refined than before, and they even resembled spiritual treasures.

'As expected, enhancing the foundation of a spiritual treasure still requires a tribulation-enhanced treasure.'

Ling Pengyun looked at this scene with great satisfaction.

Then, dozens of powerful lightning bolts struck down from the sky in succession from the tribulation clouds.

Moreover, each one is stronger than the last.

Even the last few bolts of tribulation lightning that struck down from the tribulation clouds had reached the level of the perfect Nascent Soul stage.

Even those nine throwing knives were struggling to withstand the attack.

'The Five Elements Treasures River, the Golden Bow and Arrow, the Nine Heavens Thunder Banner, the Ancient Pine Pearl, and the Morning Gourd.'

'go.'

Ling Pengyun immediately unleashed his five strongest top-tier fifth-grade offensive treasures to protect the nine Crimson Yuan Flying Knives.

The Morning Gourd, the Pine Tree Pearl, and the Nine Heavens Thunder Banner were one entity. They immediately unleashed countless Morning Gourd Flames, the power of the Pine Tree, and the thunder from the Nine Heavens, transforming into an incomparably powerful Pine Tree Morning Gourd Thunder Dragon.

Its entire body was incredibly solid, like a real dragon descending to earth. It immediately bared its fangs and claws, and pounced towards the thunder in the sky.

The golden arrows continuously fired out countless incredibly sharp fletchings. The Five Elements Treasures River, like a long dragon, transformed into a towering Milky Way, sweeping outwards.

In an instant, the power of the five treasures displayed an extremely dazzling brilliance, and even the power they unleashed touched the level of the perfect Nascent Soul stage.

With their combined strength, even a Nascent Soul cultivator at the peak of their cultivation would likely face immense trouble.

Therefore, the last few tribulation lightning bolts did not cause any trouble in front of them and were directly crushed by the treasures.

Moreover, because the treasures were unable to refine the essence of those tribulation lightning bolts, they gave them all to the nine crimson flying knives.

This also greatly benefited Chi Yuan Flying Knife, further refining his foundation.

After a while, when the tribulation clouds in the sky used their last bit of strength to send down a shower of sweet dew to nourish them, they were instantly transformed into true spiritual treasures.

It even exuded a power comparable to a top-tier fifth-grade spiritual treasure, and was not much inferior to treasures such as the Five Elements Hundred Treasures River.

If he were to refine some more high-grade precious materials, he might have the opportunity to reach the fifth-grade top-grade level in the future.

This is truly a treasure.

"This collaboration has been a great start."

Seeing this, Ling Pengyun raised his hand and took it into his hand. He examined it carefully and couldn't help but show a hint of fondness.

Besides, he already possessed many magical treasures, so he wasn't lacking in such things.

However, the spiritual treasures possessed by Madam Yan Siyi, who was also at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, were extremely ordinary.

Only her natal spirit treasures, the Mandarin Duck Fire Cloud Pot and the Mandarin Duck Fire Cloud Shield, could barely be considered presentable, possessing relatively strong power. The power of her other spirit treasures was extremely ordinary, and they could not compare with the set of Crimson Yuan Flying Knives that she had just refined.

Moreover, the Crimson Yuan Flying Knives perfectly matched its attributes, all being fire-attribute.

Furthermore, with her cultivation level, she has more than enough energy to refine that set of top-grade fifth-rank Crimson Yuan Flying Knives.

Most importantly, Yan Siyi is not only Ling Pengyun's Daoist partner, but also his right-hand woman, always standing behind him no matter what.

Therefore, Ling Pengyun immediately sought out Yan Siyi and handed her the set of Crimson Yuan Flying Knives.

"My lord, thank you so much for this."

"Furthermore, my husband, you can rest assured that once this item is in my hands, I will certainly not let its brilliance go to waste."

Seeing this, Yan Siyi felt incredibly warm-hearted and then began to examine the set of Crimson Yuan Flying Knives with great interest.

After chatting for a few more minutes, Yan Siyi went to the side and began refining the set of throwing knives.

Ling Pengyun continued refining spiritual treasures to practice his skills.

And as time goes by.

In the blink of an eye, nearly ten years have passed.

During this period, Ling Pengyun successively refined four more fifth-grade high-quality spiritual treasures.

While those magical treasures are difficult to refine.

However, Ling Pengyun's current skill in weapon crafting is extraordinary, and coupled with his good luck, he only failed once.

The other three attempts were all successful.

Moreover, the three spiritual treasures he forged were all of excellent quality, reaching the upper-middle level of their respective ranks, and their power was quite strong, not much worse than the set of Crimson Yuan Flying Knives he had previously forged.

Even more so if you add that set of Crimson Yuan Flying Knives.

During his seclusion this time, he successfully forged a total of four fifth-grade high-quality spiritual treasures, achieving a success rate as high as 80%.

His weapon-forging skills were also displayed perfectly.

Moreover, upon closer examination, even though the materials he consumed in this treasure refining were extraordinary, and even though he had exhausted all the high-grade refining materials produced by his family over the past hundred years, as well as some refining materials he had searched for from the outside world, it was still entirely worthwhile.

The value created is even ten times that of those precious materials.

Ling Pengyun made a fortune this time.

He also gave Yan Siyi one or two high-level spiritual treasures, and the rest to Ling Lihao, a talisman cultivator in the family, and other high-level righteous cultivators in the family.

In an instant, the spiritual treasures of Yan Siyi and the others were greatly enhanced, and their strength also increased dramatically.

Ling Pengyun has benefited many high-level cultivators in his family with his skill in weapon crafting.

"Furthermore, after several previous attempts at weapon crafting, I've basically mastered the art of forging. It's time to try assisting the Black Dragon Armor in its attempt to reach the fifth-tier top-grade level."

Inside the cave, Ling Pengyun slowly opened his eyes, his face filled with anticipation and seriousness.

He then took out the Black Dragon Armor, which already possessed some of the qualities of a fifth-tier top-grade item.

The reason for this is that it was made by the Black Dragon Clan of the Cangxuan Realm in the early years using some dragon materials.

It resembles a dragon, its entire body seemingly crafted from countless thick dragon scales.

Moreover, its surface is decorated with a menacing dragon pattern, making it look extremely imposing.

Furthermore, due to its extraordinary foundation, it is extremely sturdy, capable of withstanding several blows from a Nascent Soul cultivator at the peak of their cultivation.

What pleased Ling Pengyun the most was that it also had the effect of storing spiritual energy, making it an extremely valuable treasure.

It was precisely for this reason that Ling Pengyun was eager to reforge it to a fifth-tier top-grade item, since at that time, this treasure would be of even greater help to him.

"Furthermore, the defensive treasures I acquired back then have all been gradually refined by it. This is the last chance to reforge it. If I fail again, even if I manage to preserve it, it will be severely damaged, and it won't be able to recover in a short time with just my gentle nurturing."

Therefore, we must succeed this time, no matter what.

Ling Pengyun's expression was solemn. Then, he activated the Silver Moon Refining Furnace and had it summon the Silver Moon Flame to preheat the furnace.

Once the internal temperature reached a certain level, he threw the black dragon armor into it and slowly used the high temperature inside the furnace to refine the impurities inside the black dragon armor, doing his best to create a perfect foundation for it.

In addition, the Black Dragon Armor is, after all, a spiritual treasure.

In addition, over the years, Ling Pengyun has refined a lot of precious materials to consolidate his foundation.

Therefore, reforging this treasure can save some of the usual weapon-refining steps.

It only takes two steps.

One of them is to refine the impurities inside.

Secondly, it involves perfecting the patterns on the vessel.

This first step in reforging a magical treasure is quite demanding and requires considerable mental effort, as it is difficult to find impurities.

However, the Black Dragon Armor was, after all, Ling Pengyun's natal treasure. The two were of the same origin, and it was like Ling Pengyun's arm. Therefore, Ling Pengyun could clearly perceive any situation within it.

Indirectly, this process of refining impurities becomes easier, even easier than refining impurities within a typical fifth-grade high-level spiritual treasure.

This is also the main reason why Ling Pengyun chose to reforge the Black Dragon Armor instead of directly trying to refine a fifth-grade top-quality spiritual treasure.

As time went by, in just a few months, the impurities were refined.

The black dragon armor then transformed into a ball of incredibly pure molten iron, releasing a powerful aura of precious materials.

Even if this precious molten iron were taken out alone, it would probably be enough to become the main material for a fifth-grade top-quality spiritual treasure.

'Artifact patterns.'

"now!"

Immediately afterwards, Ling Pengyun made a hand seal and prepared to begin perfecting the artifact's patterns.

The next moment, the precious molten iron flashed with spiritual light, and the internal patterns finally emerged on the surface.

They are extremely ancient, composed of various special patterns, bizarre yet containing immense power.

Even the unique Black Dragon Spirit Gathering Artifact Pattern and the Black Dragon Solid Artifact Pattern reached the top-tier fifth-order superior level.

The other minor artifact patterns have also reached the fifth level.

Moreover, they are more or less connected to the true meaning of heaven and earth, making them extremely extraordinary.

However, it is also quite difficult to perfect them to the fifth-tier top quality.

Even though the difficulty is reduced somewhat due to it being a natal spirit treasure, it is still more than ten times more difficult than refining an ordinary fifth-grade high-quality spirit treasure.

Fortunately, Ling Pengyun had already improved it beforehand, so he had some confidence.

In addition, the family originally did not have a perfect method for creating such artifact patterns.

However, when the family and the other forces of the Cangxuan lineage wiped out the Silver Moon Barbarian Bear Clan, a demon race that was extremely skilled in weapon crafting, they obtained an extremely profound fifth-grade top-quality weapon crafting inheritance from them.

It contains many methods of weapon crafting, as well as experience, etc.

Furthermore, Ling Pengyun possessed extraordinary comprehension, which allowed him to use this as a source to ultimately deduce the method for perfecting the artifact's patterns and even the method for reforging the Black Dragon Armor to a fifth-tier top-grade level.

Therefore, his preparations this time can be considered complete.

It's time to make a move.

Ling Pengyun's expression hardened, and he began to meticulously refine the artifact patterns within the liquid formed from the black dragon armor, filling in any deficiencies or strengthening them as needed.

This incident, like his previous attempts to refine magical artifacts, caused rejection from the artifact's patterns and even the molten iron material.

However, due to various factors, Ling Pengyun was able to suppress it with the help of a special method.

The matter proceeded steadily. (End of Chapter)
