"How is my sister?" Yu Caixing asked.

Zhang Lingshan said, "He's in good condition. If you're worried, you can go and check on him."

"No need. I doubt you'd dare lie to me."

Yu Caixing snorted and then said, "I'm going to start the first stage of the mixed solution now. Keep your eyes wide open and watch carefully. I won't demonstrate it to you a second time."

"Okay, let's begin."

Zhang Lingshan nodded.

Yu Caixing quickly formed hand seals, whether out of concern that Zhang Lingshan might see too clearly or because her refining technique was inherently fast, her hands moved swiftly, producing streaks of colorful flames that merged into the molten mixture.

In no time, the molten mixture stabilized completely, and all that was needed was to maintain this state.

"See clearly?"

Yu Caixing said, "Then start your own work and continue refining for me."

"it is good."

Without wasting any words, Zhang Lingshan continued refining the first-class materials.

It took a full three months to forge this Spirit Spring Sword with Pei Daoming.

But that was because I wasn't skilled enough at the time, and my flame intensity and mental strength were relatively poor, far from the current refining speed.

Now it doesn't take that long; at least Zhang Lingshan only needs less than ten days to refine these materials.

Now, it's up to Yu Caixing to show her skills.

Her speed in condensing the essence demonstrates her high skill level. After Zhang Lingshan records her techniques, he can also greatly improve his own weapon-refining skills.

The slower she condensed the essence, the more detailed Zhang Lingshan could observe her refining techniques, which would also improve his own refining skills.

He won't lose money no matter what.

time.

They spent their days refining and mixing various molten materials.

Apart from Zhang Lingshan going out every day to nourish Yu Caiyue's water-based spiritual veins, Qi Shuyan and Yu Caixing never went out.

But Qi Shuyan wasn't idle. This furnace could also be used to refine artifacts. Apart from observing Cai Xing's artifact refining process, he also spent his time refining the simplest third-grade magic weapons.

The merit points were naturally exchanged by Zhang Lingshan for Divine Sense Crystals, which he and Qi Shuyan would absorb later to enhance their divine sense.

"This old man's weapon-forging skills are truly astounding. Aside from the mental effort required to refine the molten metal, his forging process requires absolutely no physical exertion; it's fluid and effortless, a natural masterpiece. No wonder Zhang Lingshan said this was the closest I've ever come to becoming a weapon-forging master—he was referring to this old man."

Yu Caixing had been secretly watching the book on weapon crafting these past few days, and she was utterly shocked.

Having mastered his family's unique skills and practiced weapon crafting for so many years, and having encountered so many weapon-crafting masters, he had never seen anyone like Qi Shuyan.

This guy.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will definitely become a master weapon refiner; Zhang Lingshan's words were not mere nonsense.

"The three stages of the mixed melt have been formed. Yu Caixing, you can now complete the final condensation."

Zhang Lingshan said calmly.

Yu Caixing said, "I know, I don't need you to tell me what to do. Now just watch, if Pei Daoming can succeed, so can I."

That's all.

She quickly formed hand seals, and multicolored flames flowed from between her fingers, rapidly stirring the three mixed molten liquids.

Zhang Lingshan stared intently, not wanting to miss a single movement. Countless little figures in the Myriad Wonders Gate in his mind began to replicate these movements, including Yu Caixing's expression.

Even the exact moment Yu Caixing breathed was recorded by these tiny figures for future research and summarization.

This is the terrifying aspect of the myriad wonders that give rise to all laws.

If anyone knew that Zhang Lingshan possessed this ability, they would surely dig out his brain and try every means to strip him of his many wondrous supernatural powers.

For the myriad methods of creation, anything seen and recorded, even if it cannot be learned at first, will eventually be studied and formed, becoming an ability that is uniquely one's own and most suitable for oneself.

Tell me, who wouldn't want that?
With this method, nothing in the world will remain a secret.

Of course, the more profound something is, the more difficult it is to study, and it may take thousands of years.

Fortunately, Cai Xing's weapon-refining techniques were not that profound. Although she was better than Pei Daoming, she was actually less experienced in weapon-refining than Pei Daoming.

In short.

If Zhang Lingshan can learn Pei Daoming's weapon-refining techniques, he can definitely learn Yu Caixing's weapon-refining techniques as well.

All that's needed is time.

"It's done!"

Several days later, Yu Caixing finally burst into laughter, and the Longquan sword was officially completed.

She held it in her hand and admired it for a moment, then reluctantly sent it into the teleportation slot.

Click.

His identity badge immediately gained 100,000 merit points.

Zhang Lingshan noticed this immediately and said, "This refining process is not considered an assessment, so the Refining Pavilion has awarded you merit points. These 100,000 merit points are shared between the two of us."

"Humph."

Yu Caixing glanced at him and said, "Do you think I care about these merit points? I have so many merit points that I can't possibly spend them all. As long as you help my sister strengthen her water-type spiritual root, all 100,000 merit points are yours."

"So good."

Zhang Lingshan was secretly pleased. Although this woman was impolite in her speech, she was quite kind in her actions.

She had originally planned to bargain with him, not asking for too much, just 60,000. He and Qi Shuyan would each get 30,000, leaving Yu Caixing with 40,000, so Yu Caixing wouldn't lose out.

Moreover, Yu Caixing's experience in refining top-tier magic weapons this time also increased her expertise, which was also a gain.

But if Yu Caixing really wants to haggle, she probably won't get 60,000; she'll be lucky to get 40,000.

Unexpectedly, Yu Caixing had such a broad vision, making Zhang Lingshan seem rather petty in comparison.

but.

There's nothing we can do.

Zhang Lingshan also wanted to be generous, but reality wouldn't allow it.

All he wants now is more merit points to exchange for more treasures and further enhance his strength.

In this way, when he is seconded to the scoundrel Huo Ran, he will have more autonomy, instead of being a little slave who can be bullied by others.

“Master Qi.” Suddenly, Yu Caixing turned her head, cupped her hands to Qi Shuyan, and said, “Zhang Lingshan will be transferred away sooner or later, and it is uncertain whether he will be able to come back. I see that Master Qi is exceptionally talented and will surely achieve great things in the future. Why don’t you refine weapons with me? We can exchange ideas and improve together, what do you say?”

"Haha."

Seeing this, Zhang Lingshan smiled and said, "Why is this woman suddenly so easy to talk to? She's revealing her true intentions and is starting to win over Qi Shuyan."

However, she was right. She would be temporarily transferred away sooner or later, leaving only Qi Shuyan and the other three.

Although the book on the instrument is powerful, it has come too late to the third level and its foundation is too shallow.

Although Shi Yong had been there for a long time and was a veteran fire-starter, his low status made many things inconvenient for him.

If they could get help from Yu Caixing after I leave, that would be great.

Seeing Zhang Lingshan's signal, Qi Shuyan nodded and said, "It is an honor to be able to exchange ideas with Master Yu. However, before we leave, I still need to refine weapons with Master Yu, so I won't bother you any longer."

"What's wrong with that?"

Yu Caixing said, "We can refine weapons together, just like we are now."

Then, she changed the subject, smiling as she looked at Zhang Lingshan and said, "Speaking of which, I've never seen Master Zhang Lingshan forge weapons before. Why don't we forge weapons together sometime and see who's more skilled?"

"Haha."

Zhang Lingshan laughed: "Excellent. That's exactly what I was thinking. If we could refine another top-tier magic weapon, that would be the best."

"You still want to forge more? Do you want to forge the Dragon Spring Sword?"

Yu Caixing raised an eyebrow and said, "However, I'm no longer interested in that. If you can refine other attributes, I can help you refine them, and all the merit points will be yours. What you want is these merit points, right? To improve your strength and help you survive longer with Huo Ran in the future."

"Don't always say such unlucky things."

Zhang Lingshan laughed and said, "However, speaking of which, Caixing understands me best. You're like a mind reader. In that case, I'd like to ask you for some merit points. What do you say?"

"I'm afraid they'll borrow it and never pay it back," Yu Caixing said.

Zhang Lingshan said, "But if I return from the Alchemy Pavilion, it will greatly benefit you. Everyone knows that I, Zhang Lingshan, always repay kindness and have a good reputation. The favor you owe me will surely be repaid tenfold or a hundredfold in the future!"

After pondering for a while, Yu Caixing said, "I can lend it to you. How much do you want?"

"The more the better."

Zhang Lingshan said.

Yu Caixing snorted: "What do you mean by the more the better? The treasures on the third floor are limited. Do you think you can spend all those merit points? Are you going to the alchemy pavilion? But you're going to the fifth floor of the alchemy pavilion. My sister said that things there are ridiculously expensive. The only cheap thing is the Clear Spring Pill. What can you buy then?"

"Don't worry about what I buy, just lend me some credit," Zhang Lingshan said.

Yu Caixing said, "As long as you cooperate with me and help me refine the other four types of super-grade magic treasures, I will lend you 500,000 merit points."

"Only 500,000?" Zhang Lingshan was somewhat dissatisfied. "You've been on the third floor for so long. With your strength, you've been refining first-class magic weapons every day. You would have earned countless 500,000 by now, and accumulated tens of millions of merit points. You only want to lend me 500,000?"

"What do you mean 'only 500,000'? Go ask around on the third floor and see who would lend 500,000 to someone at once, let alone someone who has been temporarily transferred to the Alchemy Pavilion."

Yu Caixing also looked dissatisfied and snorted, "Tens of millions is a lot, but it's all earned through my time and effort. Besides, even tens of millions won't be enough for me when I advance to the fourth level."

"But that's still too little. Lend me a million. Or I can help you refine a weapon. Instead, you could work with the old weapon refine a first-class magic weapon. Considering the time and effort involved, it's more cost-effective than helping you refine a super first-class magic weapon."

Zhang Lingshan bargained.

If Yu Caixing hadn't witnessed Qi Shuyan's abilities, she would have said that Zhang Lingshan was bragging. First-class magic treasures are not so easy to forge. You two have only been promoted for a few years, and you still want to earn a million with first-class magic treasures so quickly? You're dreaming!
However, after seeing Qi Shuyan's weapon-making skills, Yu Caixing did not doubt Zhang Lingshan's words.

More importantly, she also wanted to befriend Qi Shuyan, so she said, "Then one million, that's the highest I can ask for."

"Good, Master Yu is a straightforward and honest person, a good ally. It is an honor for me, Zhang Lingshan, to get to know Master Yu."

Zhang Lingshan laughed loudly.

One million merit points, plus the 500,000 points obtained from crafting five top-tier magic treasures, totals one million five hundred thousand merit points.

With so many merit points, I'll use them all to exchange for Divine Sense Crystals. Breaking through to the fifth level of Immortal Divine Sense is just around the corner.

With another trump card up his sleeve, how could he not be happy? It's only natural to praise Yu Caixing a couple of times while he's happy.

Yu Caixing pursed her lips, about to make a sarcastic remark as usual, but then saw Qi Shuyan cup his hands and say, "Thank you, Master Yu. Master Yu is beautiful and kind-hearted. If Dashan can return safely from the Alchemy Pavilion, Master Yu will be the best friend of all of us."

"Master Qi, there's no need to be so polite. It's just a small matter, no need for such formalities."

Yu Caixing hurriedly cupped her hands in greeting to Qi Shuyan.

This time it was Zhang Lingshan's turn to pout.

Why are there two different attitudes?

"It's agreed, but there's no rush to start. Old Qi and I will go and improve our skills first, so as to prepare for the next weapon forging."

As Zhang Lingshan spoke, he instructed Yu Caixing to immediately transfer the merit points to him. Then, he and Qi Shuyan happily exchanged a large amount of Divine Sense Crystals. After that, they went to the weapon-refining room of Song Yi, Wei Sheng, and Shi Yong.

Enough said, let's begin refining!
Because he was about to be forcibly transferred away by the scoundrel Huo Ran, ninety percent of the divine sense crystals would be wasted when Qi Shuyan and the other three refined them.

and so.

Zhang Lingshan planned to upgrade them all at once, until they no longer needed to use Divine Sense Crystals.

In any case, all I need to do is transfer the remaining 10% of my pure divine sense to others; it won't have much of an impact on me.

He certainly wouldn't have dared to be so extravagant before.

But now, who can blame us for having so many credits?

Thanks to the wealthy woman Yu Caixing for lending me one million merit points.

If all of them were converted into Divine Sense Crystals, it would amount to a full five hundred coins.

Afterwards, there will be a reward of 500,000 for refining a top-tier magic weapon, so there's no need to worry about not having enough.

Most importantly, Zhang Lingshan estimated that Qi Shuyan and the others had limited absorption capacity. Even if he separated the mixed resentment and kept it all for himself, leaving them with pure divine sense, they still wouldn't be able to absorb much.

Therefore, there's no need to worry about how many Divine Sense Crystals they will consume.

As Zhang Lingshan had predicted, things turned out just as he had expected.

Just one hundred Divine Sense Crystals were enough to make the four of them feel dizzy and lightheaded, indicating that they wouldn't be able to improve for at least another year or two.

"Very good, now it's my turn to enjoy it all by myself."

Zhang Lingshan chuckled and then added, "Afterwards, you can exchange all your merit points for Flame Crystals or Immortal Pills. You can also eat more rice if you can."

"We've been delayed for so long, it's time to go help Yu Caixing with weapon forging."

"After this weapon forging, the time should be almost up. Huo Ran's patience is limited, and Yu Caiyue will soon recover as well."

"At that time, Huo Ran will definitely find a way to force the Weapon Forging Pavilion to release the person. Manager Ying is just a nobody and can't protect me." (End of this chapter)
