Chapter 1045 Initial Aspiration for Entering the Dao
Upon hearing this, Yunxi's face showed a look of understanding. So this was the reason why Chui Bingzhuo had chosen her. It was because the Taixu Heavenly Ice Flame was sealed within her body, which was one of the important conditions for her to inherit Tang Jihan's mantle.

Bai Qiao should have sensed it the first time she saw her, which is why she was willing to spend time fighting her to improve her combat power and help her pass the first test.

Yunxi sighed inwardly. The schemes in the Immortal Realm were truly deep. Fortunately, her Dao heart was firm. She simply wanted to learn another skill, temper her body, and consolidate her cultivation. In the end, the result was actually good.

However, this was the first time she had heard of the name Tang Jihan, the master craftsman of weapon refining. To satisfy her curiosity, she respectfully asked:

"Senior, do you know the whereabouts of this Holy Master Tang Jihan?"

The phantom waved its sleeve, returning the jade hammer to Yunxi's hand:

"His weapon-refining hammer is now in your hands. He should have perished long ago. Not long after the war between good and evil began, he was in the rear repairing damaged immortal artifacts and treasures. He even forged a divine weapon specifically for evil immortals and was once named a weapon-refining saint, which made him famous. However, after the war ended, he disappeared without a trace."

Some say he went into seclusion to improve his weapon-forging skills; others say he went to the perilous lands of the Divine Realm to search for new weapon-forging materials; still others say he was invited to forge a clan's protective artifact. In short, there are many conflicting accounts, but Tang Jihan never reappeared, nor did he take on any disciples, so his unique weapon-forging techniques were lost.

Yunxi took the ice hammer, gently touched it, and then transmitted her voice:
“Master Hammer, someone remembers your master, and it is rumored that the person who asked Master Tang to forge the clan-protecting artifact may be the family that trapped him. If I have the chance, I will definitely seek justice for your master.”

Since she had received Tang Jihan's weapon-refining inheritance, she considered him as half a master, and it was her duty to retaliate against these people on behalf of her master.

Hammer Ice Wash trembled slightly and then said:
"Alright, remember what you said. I will be your personal weapon-refining hammer until I ascend to the Divine Realm."

Yunxi smiled slightly, hung the Hammer Ice Cleanser back on her waist, thanked the illusory figure again, and then returned to the starting point once more.

Seeing that Yunxi had used even less time this time, the little jade tablet no longer believed that she hadn't obtained the inheritance, so it flapped its wings, left the stone tablet, and came to Yunxi's side:

"Fairy, how was the harvest this time?"

"The senior said that the weapon-refining inheritance I obtained was good enough, and there was no need to waste any more time, so he sent me out."

"Hehe! Fairy, you're amazing! You even have an array formation inheritance. Do you want to go take a look?"

"Yes, the only thing I haven't systematically studied is formations."

Yunxi wasn't lying about this. In the cultivation world, she had only exchanged formation techniques with Cao Yi, because Cao Yi had received a complete inheritance of formation techniques.

The small jade tablet eagerly re-embedded itself into the stone tablet, sending Yunxi to the stone gate where the formation was passed down.

Yunxi looked at the Five Elements Formation carved on the stone gate, then waved her sleeve to open the gate and stepped inside again.

This time, Yunxi didn't even have time to look around before the illusory figure reappeared, and the expression on the man's face was truly indescribable:

"Ranxi, is there anything you haven't learned?"

Yunxi grinned, revealing a set of small white teeth, and said:
“Senior, I have not received any training in array formations. I only worked with my companions to refine two attack array plates in order to destroy the passage built by the evil god from the ‘Ruins of Nothingness’. As for how to set up an array, I really have not learned it.”

After listening to Yunxi's story, the phantom felt a little better, realizing that he still had a chance to prove himself. He then waved his sleeve and displayed a row of blank array plates, asking Yunxi to create an array plate that he had already mastered and then set up an array. He wanted to see Yunxi's array-setting skills.

Yunxi took the blank array plate and pondered for a while before picking up her engraving knife and beginning to create the array plate. Her specialties were the "Heavenly Dipper Demon-Slaying Array" and the "Five Elements Reincarnation Array," and she believed that setting up these two arrays would demonstrate her array-setting skills. Then Yunxi began to diligently engrave the array plate. The illusory figure, seeing that Yunxi needed more and more blank array plates, began to furrow its brow. It also began to examine the array plates Yunxi had finished, and it actually discerned some interesting details.

After an unknown amount of time, just as the phantom felt its shadow become even more blurred, Yunxi finally finished setting up the "Heavenly Dipper Big Dipper Demon-Slaying Formation." Moreover, the one she set up was an improved version of the "Demon-Slaying Formation," a complete formation composed of eighty-one small formations.

Even if half of the smaller arrays are destroyed, it cannot overturn the entire large array. As long as the smaller arrays are repaired in time, the power of the Demon-Slaying Array can continue to be exerted.

After Yunxi finished setting up, she activated the "Heavenly Dipper Demon-Slaying Array" with her own immortal energy. Only after all eighty-one array formations were connected did she look at the illusory figure and humbly say:
“Senior, I don’t know many formations. This is the one I’m most familiar with, but it takes a bit of time to set up. There’s also the ‘Five Elements Reincarnation Formation,’ which is simpler and can connect to the Netherworld once set up.”

After saying that, she rubbed her hands together and looked longingly at the illusory figure. There were no blank array plates left beside her.

The illusory figure gracefully raised a hand, then rubbed its temples and said:

"Ranxi, can you tell me your original intention for learning the Four Arts?"

Yunxi felt that her senior's train of thought was a bit disjointed, but she still answered truthfully:

"I learned alchemy because my mother's family is good at it. They wanted me to have another skill so that my cultivation path wouldn't be too difficult. Once I learned alchemy, I could be self-sufficient, earn more cultivation resources, and last longer when fighting enemies."

Learning talismans is for earning cultivation resources, and also because when encountering powerful enemies, scattering talismans is the most effective way to launch group attacks.

The purpose of learning formations is to suppress the body of evil gods and kill evil cultivators.

Learning weapon crafting is to upgrade the grade of one's natal immortal treasure, so that the power of attacks can be maximized when fighting enemies.

After listening, the phantom only said one sentence:
"Ranxi, no matter what, your original intention in learning the four arts was to defeat the enemy."

Yunxi nodded after thinking about it, indicating that it was indeed the case.

The phantom asked curiously:
Do you have that many enemies?

Yunxi smiled and said:

"Not really! It's just that evil cultivators always rush in front of me. I don't have the habit of taking a beating without fighting back. Besides, everyone should kill evil cultivators. Over time, it's become like this. I don't think it's a bad thing."

"Aren't you afraid that your excessive killing intent will affect your Dao heart?"

“Senior, if my Dao heart were flawed, I wouldn’t have broken through so smoothly. I went to the battlefield of the ancient war between good and evil, and the ancestors there taught me a very good lesson, which made my Dao heart stable, and that’s how I became who I am today.”

The illusory figure nodded in satisfaction, this time presenting a purple jade slip, and said with a smile:

"You are the best successor I have encountered in tens of thousands of years. I hope you can carry forward what you have learned. I am about to disappear. The fate of the inheritance palace is up to you and Xiao Mo."

After saying that, he turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared completely in front of Yunxi.

"senior."
