Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

After successfully deducing the methods for refining these two treasures, Lu Cheng'an began searching for the materials needed to refine them.

Now that he has collected all the materials for these two treasures, he can begin to refine them.

The Teleportation Pearl and the Pure Yang Heavenly Fire Pearl were Lu Cheng'an's first attempts at crafting, but these two treasures were deduced by Lu Cheng'an based on the two supernatural abilities he had cultivated, which made the process of crafting these two treasures very smooth.

Time passed slowly, and a year and a half went by in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, Lu Cheng'an successfully refined the Teleportation Pearl and the Pure Yang Heavenly Fire Pearl.

During this period, Shi Ningyu had been studying the golden power contained in the golden arrow. This year-long study had greatly improved her understanding of the golden power.

Moreover, her research on that golden arrow was far more profound than Lu Cheng'an's. She felt that if she studied it for a longer period of time, she might be able to mobilize a portion of the golden arrow's power.

This golden arrow is of the sixth rank, low grade. Even if Shi Ningyu can only slightly activate the power of that golden arrow, it could still threaten a cultivator in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

"If you encounter an invincible enemy, do not be reckless. Just activate the teleportation bead I gave you and escape for your life," Lu Cheng'an instructed with some concern.

His spatial folding ability has been greatly improved, which has also significantly enhanced the power of the teleportation bead.

It can break through the spatial seals imposed by cultivators at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm.

This means that as long as Shi Ningyu doesn't attract the attention of cultivators at the Refinement of Void Realm, she can escape using the Teleportation Bead.

Of course, Shi Ningyu might encounter a powerful Nascent Soul cultivator, at which point the Teleportation Bead refined by Lu Cheng'an might also lose its effectiveness.

"Don't worry, my husband. I'm just traveling around, not seeking revenge. I definitely won't encounter any danger."

Shi Ningyu smiled helplessly. Her main purpose in going out to train this time was to see what the real Xuan Chen Realm was like and to broaden her horizons, which would also benefit her future cultivation.

"In short, be as careful as possible when you go out to train. If you encounter any danger, send me a message immediately," Lu Cheng'an said with a serious expression.

Not long after, Shi Ningyu left Jinding Mountain and sped off towards Mengyuan Prefecture.

After Shi Ningyu left, Lu Chengan returned to his cave and began refining the magic weapon, the Nether Soul Slaughtering Needle.

The Netherworld Slaughtering Needle is of mid-grade fifth rank. The method of refining this needle came from the Taoist Xuanxu, who also gave Lu Cheng'an two sets of materials for refining the Netherworld Slaughtering Needle.

It has been a long time since Lu Cheng'an obtained these two materials from Xuanxu Daoist, but only now has he had time to refine them.

He was already very familiar with the method of refining the Netherworld God-Slaying Needle, and now he was confident enough to refine it.

The crafting of the Netherworld God-Slaying Needle is quite difficult. It took Lu Cheng'an one year and two months to successfully craft the first Netherworld God-Slaying Needle.

After that, it took another year and one month to refine the second Ghost Soul Slaying Needle.

Xuanxu Daoist only needed one Netherworld God-Slaying Needle. The reason he gave Lu Cheng'an two sets of materials was because he was worried that Lu Cheng'an would fail when he tried to refine it for the first time.

"Both Netherworld God-Slaying Needles have been forged. One of them will be given to Daoist Xuanxu. Next, we will help the Yinhua Sect refine the fifth-grade mid-level Yin Gathering Pool and the Seven Elements Nourishing Spirit Flag!"

The Yin Hua Sect and the Tian Shi Sect provided Lu Cheng'an with a lot of help. Lu Cheng'an had long promised Tian Yun Shangren and Wan Shi Laoren to help them refine three magic treasures, including the fifth-grade mid-level Ju Yin Pool. Naturally, he would not go back on his word.

Before heading to Yin Hua Sect, Lu Cheng'an gave Lu Jingkun some instructions, telling him to guard Jin Ding Mountain well.

After Qinghe Shangren and the others broke through to the Nascent Soul realm, they left Jinding Mountain and continued to seek opportunities outside, never to return.

Shi Ningyu has now also left Jinding Mountain to travel. After Lu Cheng'an left Jinding Mountain, only Lu Jingkun remains as the Nascent Soul cultivator stationed in Jinding Mountain.

Lu Cheng'an wasn't particularly worried about the safety of Jin Ding Mountain. Lu Jingkun had already successfully completed the construction of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Formation on Jin Ding Mountain. Relying on the power of this formation, Lu Jingkun was able to withstand cultivators in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm for a period of time.

After giving Lu Jingkun some instructions, Lu Cheng'an left Jin Ding Mountain and soon arrived at Yin Hua Sect.

Because of the Netherworld God-Slaying Needle, Lu Cheng'an met Tianyun Shangren and Xuanxu Daoren after entering the Yinhua Sect.

"Fellow Daoist Xuanxu, this is the Netherworld God-Slaying Needle that you asked me to help you refine before. I have now successfully refined it. Let me see if it meets your requirements!"

Lu Cheng'an smiled slightly and took out the Netherworld God-Slaying Needle.

A look of joy appeared on Xuanxu Daoist's face. After quickly receiving the Netherworld God-Slaying Needle, he immediately examined this mid-grade fifth-tier magic weapon.

"Fellow Daoist Lu's weapon-refining skills are superb. This Netherworld God-Slaying Needle is even better than I imagined!" Xuanxu Daoist exclaimed.

"I'm relieved that Fellow Daoist Xuanxu is satisfied!"

Lu Cheng'an chuckled softly, his gaze falling on Tianyun Shangren, and asked, "I wonder if Fellow Daoist Yue has prepared all the materials for refining a mid-grade level 5 Yin Gathering Pool? I now have time to help your sect refine the Yin Gathering Pool and the Seven Elements Nourishing Spirit Flag!"

"Everything is ready, and the refining room is also prepared. If Fellow Daoist Lu has time, we can begin refining the Yin Gathering Pool now!"

An excited look appeared on Tianyun Shangren's face. When he saw Cheng'an take out the Youpo Slaughtering God Needle, he wanted to ask Lu Cheng'an if he would have time to help them refine the Yin Gathering Pool and the Seven Elements Nourishing Spirit Flag.

He had been rejected by Lu Cheng'an more than once before, so he hesitated and did not ask immediately.

He didn't expect that in the brief moment he hesitated, Lu Cheng'an would take the initiative to ask about this matter.

“If all these things are ready, I can help you refine the Yin Gathering Pool right now!” Lu Cheng’an said with a smile.

Although the Yin Hua Sect did not cultivate any fifth-order weapon refiners, the weapon refining environment they prepared for Lu Cheng'an was of extremely high quality.

After entering the weapon-refining room prepared for him by the Yin Hua Sect, Lu Cheng'an released Jin Yuan and his son Jin Dou.

Both Jin Yuan and Jin Dou are at the fourth level of cultivation. They can help Lu Cheng'an process fourth-level top-grade materials. However, they are relatively slow at processing materials of this grade, and the quality of the processed materials will be relatively poor.

The materials prepared by Master Tianyun for refining the Yin Gathering Pool are all raw materials, which need to be processed before they can be used.

The amount of spiritual materials needed to refine a mid-grade fifth-order Yin Gathering Pool is extremely large. If Lu Cheng'an were to handle these materials by himself, it would take a very long time.

That is why he brought Jin Yuan and his son Jin Dou with him when he came to Yin Hua Sect this time.

Both Jin Yuan and Jin Dou have reached the fourth level of cultivation. If they help Lu Cheng'an, they can quickly complete the refining of those raw materials.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, I'll take you to the weapon-refining room right now!" Venerable Tianyun said with a smile.

Lu Cheng'an had visited this refining room before when he helped the Yin Hua Sect refine the Yin Gathering Pool, and nothing had changed. "These are the materials for refining the Yin Gathering Pool and the Seven Elements Nourishing Spirit Flag. Fellow Daoist Lu, please take a look and see if there's anything amiss?"

Although the Yin Hua Sect has not refined a mid-grade fifth-order Yin Gathering Pool for a long time, the sect has detailed records of refining mid-grade fifth-order Yin Gathering Pools.

The materials that Master Tianyun searched for according to the records in the classics are naturally without any problems.

After Lu Cheng'an confirmed that there were no problems with the materials, Master Tianyun left the weapon-refining room.

Master Tianyun is not skilled in weapon crafting, so his presence in the weapon crafting room is of no use; he will only disturb Lu Cheng'an's crafting process.

"Jin Yuan and Jin Qiu, you two, refine all these materials!"

After Lu Cheng'an took out all the fifth-tier and fourth-tier top-grade materials needed to refine the Yin Gathering Pool and the Seven Elements Nourishing Spirit Banner, he handed the remaining materials over to Jin Yuan and his son Jin Qiu.

Jin Yuan and Jin Qiu each perched on Lu Cheng'an's left and right shoulders. Although their cultivation had broken through to the fourth level, their physical size had not changed much under normal circumstances.

"Master, we guarantee to complete the mission!"

After Jin Yuan hugged the storage ring that Lu Cheng'an had given him with his two little paws, he immediately made a promise.

A look of excitement appeared in his eyes. It had been a long time since he had accompanied his master so closely in refining magical artifacts.

"Son, come with me to refine these materials!"

After calling out to Jinqiu, Jin Yuan jumped off Lu Cheng'an's shoulder.

There were no restrictions on the storage ring. After Jin Yuan jumped off Lu Cheng'an's shoulder, he took out some of the materials from the storage ring.

At this moment, a golden-white spiritual light appeared around Jin Yuan, and this light merged into the unprocessed materials, beginning to rapidly refine these raw materials.

Golden Ball followed closely behind, working with his father to process the raw materials.

After glancing at the state of the golden orb and the golden sphere, Lu Cheng'an withdrew his gaze and began to refine the fourth-grade and fifth-grade materials.

The refining of high-grade materials is relatively difficult. If all the impurities contained in the materials cannot be refined out, it will seriously affect the subsequent refining process.

Lu Cheng'an knew very well how difficult it was to refine the Yin Gathering Pool, so he was extremely careful when refining the materials for it.

Time passed slowly, and more than two months went by in the blink of an eye.

Only then did Lu Cheng'an finish refining all the materials for the Yin Gathering Pool.

The father and son, Jin Yuan and Jin Qiu, had to refine a greater quantity and variety of materials, but they were exceptionally talented, and in the past two months they had already completed the refining of all the materials below the fourth-tier top grade.

Lu Cheng'an inspected the materials they were refining. This race's racial talent was terrifyingly strong, and the materials they refined were of even higher quality.

Moreover, their process of refining spiritual materials is also an effective form of cultivation. Over the past two months, the golden ball's cultivation level has improved considerably.

Jin Yuan had exhausted his talent by cultivating to the fourth level, and now his cultivation speed was extremely slow. Although his cultivation had improved in the past two months, the improvement was not very obvious.

Jinqiu's cultivation level improved more significantly; he broke through to the mid-stage of the fourth rank earlier than Jinyuan.

"I'm going to refine a magic weapon next, so I won't need you for the time being. You can leave the weapon refining room now and go find Master Tianyun."

"I've already spoken to him and arranged some jobs for you to refine fourth-grade spiritual materials. If you have any requests, you can contact Master Tianyun directly!" Lu Cheng'an said.

"Yes, Master. When will you finish refining it?"

"This Yin Hua Sect is so gloomy and eerie, it's nothing compared to Jin Ding Mountain. We want to go back as soon as possible!"

Jin Yuan and Jin Qiu squatted on the ground, looking up at Lu Cheng'an with their two little heads tilted back.

"The Yin Gathering Pool and the Seven Elements Nourishing Spirit Flag are not easy to refine, and I need to refine more than one. After that, I also need to help the Heavenly Corpse Sect refine the Yin Gathering Pool and the Golden Mother Disc. It will take no less than a certain amount of time to refine all these magical treasures."

"You two should stay in the Yin Hua Sect from now on. If you need any materials to improve your cultivation, just ask the Yin Hua Sect. They will definitely do their best to meet your needs because of me."

"You two must work hard to cultivate and strive to break through to the mid-stage of the fourth rank, so that you can provide me with more assistance."

After giving instructions to Jin Yuan and his son, Lu Cheng'an kicked them out of the weapon-refining room.

The Jin family was not afraid of strangers. After meeting Master Tianyun, they made various requests.

Master Tianyun had already learned about the situation of Jin Yuan and his son through Lu Cheng'an, and he naturally agreed to all the requests made by Jin Yuan and his son.

However, he did not take care of Jin Yuan and his son himself, but instead found a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Yin Hua Sect to take care of them.

After Jin Yuan and Jin Qiu left the weapon-refining room, Lu Cheng'an completely sealed it off and then began to refine a mid-grade fifth-order Yin Gathering Pool.

Lu Cheng'an's weapon-refining skills have greatly improved, and he had previously refined a fifth-grade low-level Yin Gathering Pool.

Although the difficulty of refining a mid-grade fifth-order Yin Gathering Pool has increased considerably, it still shares many similarities with a low-grade fifth-order Yin Gathering Pool.

Therefore, it is much easier for him to refine a mid-grade fifth-order Yin Gathering Pool now than when he first refined a low-grade fifth-order Yin Gathering Pool.

"After two years and seven months, we have finally refined the mid-grade fifth-tier Yin Gathering Pool!"

Lu Cheng'an cast a spell to retrieve the Yin Gathering Pool from the refining furnace.

The difference between a mid-grade fifth-order Yin Gathering Pool and a low-grade fifth-order Yin Gathering Pool is quite significant. In addition to the runes that condense Yin energy, the bottom of the Yin Gathering Pool also contains many transformation runes and pure Yang runes.

The Pure Yang Rune absorbs pure Yang energy, which is mutually restraining with the Yin energy gathered in the Yin Gathering Pool.

However, those transformation runes harmonize the pure yang energy and yin energy, allowing them to reach a state of fusion.

"The craftsman who created the Yin Gathering Pool must have had an extremely deep understanding of both Yin and Yang principles; otherwise, it would have been impossible to create a magical artifact of this type!"

Lu Cheng'an cast a spell, activating his primordial spirit power, and carefully inspected the inside and outside of the Yin Gathering Pool.

He then discovered that the transformation runes were not merely about harmonizing pure yang energy and yin energy; these runes might also be able to transform the ethereal energy of the underworld. (End of Chapter)
