Battle Through the Heavens: Emperor Yan, please restrain yourself; your elder brother is truly hones

After her grandparents passed away, she was an orphan with no one to care for her from a young age, and she also had to be wary of people with ulterior motives.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the two women and Zhang Yuan will be her future family.

Where is my family?

"Thank you, Sister Jing, and Sister Xun'er." Little Fairy Doctor smiled gently.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yuan set off for the outside world and found Xiao Yan, who was cultivating on Gravity Peak while carrying the Xuan Heavy Ruler.

"Little Yanzi".

Zhang Yuan appeared before Xiao Yan.

"cousin?"

Xiao Yan, who was practicing standing meditation and was covered in sweat, was taken aback.

Immediately, he winked and said, "Cousin, you finally have time to care about your little brother?"

Zhang Yuan: "."

Did I ruin the mighty Great Yan Emperor?

Why does he seem so irritating?

"Yes, I really need to take good care of you."

Zhang Yuan revealed a gentle smile.

“I remember you said that towering trees cannot be grown in a greenhouse, and I wholeheartedly agree.”

"To avoid you losing to Nalan Yanran during the three-year agreement, which would bring shame to the Xiao family and me."

"Are you prepared for the hard work ahead?"

Go, Pikachu!

Bah, go! Entei Beast, Child of Destiny, Adventure Detector!

Chapter 89: The Artifact Refining Technique Shocks Elder Yao! Emperor Yan: Cousin, I Want to Learn This!

One

Are some things truly only attainable by those destined for greatness?

This question arose in Zhang Yuan's mind, and he really wanted to find out more about it.

It was only because Little Fairy Doctor was also a woman of destiny, and Zhang Yuan now possessed a mid-stage Spirit Realm soul, whose perception and investigation abilities were no weaker than Ling Ying's. He could continuously investigate the cliffs in the Monster Mountain Range area for several days, but he still could not find the cave with the remnant of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame Map.

Therefore, he decided to send out our Yan Emperor Beast to see if it could "accidentally" find the cave, or if it could be "unexpectedly" discovered by the Medicine Elder, whose soul power is stronger.

"Cousin, are you serious?"

Xiao Yan looked at Zhang Yuan and scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.

He idolizes Zhang Yuan so much now, and he never expected his cousin to personally scold him—that's awesome!

“Hmm.” Zhang Yuan nodded and said, “Right now you’re just following the steps to cultivate. My suggestion is that you go to the Monster Mountain Range to train for a while. I will have the Purple Thunder Cloud Eagle patrol in the air to ensure that you don’t encounter any monsters above the third rank. Only through actual combat and life-and-death experiences can you truly grow.”

"That's a good suggestion." The old apothecary appeared, his eyes approving. "I was just about to arrange for Xiao Yanzi to do this, and Yuan boy and I are of the same mind."

Xiao Yan acknowledged that everyone was right, and coughed lightly, saying, "Cousin, this doesn't count as you giving me any special training, does it?"

He was clearly being raised in a free-range manner, but he thought his cousin was personally training and honing him.

“I will certainly do my part to get this for me.”

Zhang Yuan raised his hand and pointed at the giant sword behind Xiao Yan.

This giant sword was larger than Xiao Yan's height and was entirely black.

It's more accurate to describe it as a thick, massive ruler without a tip or blade, with a smooth, mirror-like cross-section at the end, as if it had been chopped off by something.

The surface of this giant ruler is covered with strange patterns that extend all the way to the hilt of the sword. Combined with its ancient black color, it gives off a sense of mystery.

"The Xuanzhong Ruler?" Xiao Yan asked doubtfully, "How can this thing help?"

The Xuanzhong Ruler was given to him by Yao Lao. It was forged from a piece of seventh-grade Flamefall Xuan Iron. There is probably only one of its kind on the entire continent. It is not only extremely hard and incredibly heavy, but most importantly, it has the unique effect of suppressing battle qi.

After being carried on his back, the flow of his internal energy became much slower and heavier, causing him to expend tremendous strength with every movement. Due to overexertion, he has become exhausted and his voice has recently become hoarse.

He truly hadn't expected that this unassuming thing would be so terrifying, causing him to experience genuine exhaustion every day after he became a fighter.

However, if one can adapt to this suppression, their physique will become extremely strong. When they take this item out in future battles, their combat power will likely increase significantly.

It's truly a great tool for pretending to be weak while actually being strong.

"Give!"

Despite his doubts, Xiao Yan still managed to take the Xuan Heavy Ruler off with some difficulty and slowly placed it on the ground, creating a considerable dent.

Zhang Yuan used his Absorption Palm to take the Xuan Heavy Ruler into his hand, wielding it with pure physical strength, giving people a sense of effortless mastery.

Xiao Yan: "."

Is my cousin trying to show off in front of me, to put me down, and to motivate me to improve?

"Not bad." Zhang Yuan flicked the Xuan Heavy Ruler lightly with his finger and said, "The main body is good, and the key parts were not wasted. I will help you refine it again."

Refining?

Xiao Yan and Yao Lao were both slightly taken aback.

Xiao Yan asked in surprise, "Cousin, you know how to forge weapons?"

“Hmm.” Zhang Yuan nodded calmly: “If we measure by the ranks of alchemists, I am now a sixth-rank weapon refiner. Refining this finished Xuanzhong Ruler is not a piece of cake, but it is not a challenge either.”

After more than a year and several months of hard training, he had become so proficient in the Thunderfire Refining Technique that he could forge sixth-grade weaponry.

With Yao Lao's guidance, Xiao Yan was able to reach the sixth grade in six years. He had directly obtained a higher grade of weapon-refining memory inheritance than Yao Lao, so his current limitation of only being able to refine sixth grade weapons is still due to his strength.

"A sixth-grade weapon refiner?" Xiao Yan asked in confusion, "Are weapon refiners ranked?"

According to the information he learned from the old doctor, weapon forging in the Dou Qi Continent simply involves bringing together materials of the same grade and melting them down to create a weapon of a certain type, without any special effects.

Basically, anyone with sufficient strength can complete this process, which is no different from adding firewood to a fire. Alchemists can do it with ease, and non-alchemists can also use earth fire and heaven fire to refine it.

"It didn't exist before, but it will exist in the future."

Zhang Yuan didn't explain much. He simply sat down cross-legged in mid-air and took out four kinds of sixth-tier minerals and a sixth-tier fire-attribute magic core from his storage ring.

He then closed his eyes, summoned the Four Dragon Thunderfire, used his soul power to create a soul eye to observe, and used a special method to refine the Xuan Heavy Ruler.

Forged by thunder and scorched by flames, it has been tempered and refined in the blink of an eye.

Silver lightning crackled across the surface of the Xuanzhong Ruler, and its entire body turned orange-red.

"Interesting." The old apothecary had exceptional insight and watched with great interest.

Xiao Yan watched for a while, but found he couldn't understand it at all, so he continued to cultivate.

About an hour later, silver objects began to appear on the Xuanzhong Ruler, but they would vaporize and disappear under the burning of the Four Dragon Thunderfire, as if they had never existed.

In other words, Yao Lao was observing in a spiritual state, so he was able to notice these details and was surprised: "Yuan boy's technique is so strange. Even the Nine Dragons Thunderfire is inferior to the Bone Spirit Cold Fire. He only has the Four Dragons Thunderfire, while I used the Bone Spirit Cold Fire to temper the Flamefall Profound Iron and shape it into the Profound Heavy Ruler when I was a Dou Zun.

"Unexpectedly, he was able to force out some of the impurities."

The old herbalist was delighted by the sight and watched even more intently.

Two hours later, Zhang Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.

The impurities in the Flamefall Iron were thoroughly removed by the old doctor, saving him a lot of smelting time. However, the slight chilling power left by the Bone Spirit Cold Fire required him to spend a lot of time and effort.

"Refining!"

Zhang Yuan began to use the Four Dragon Thunderfire to refine the four sixth-order heavenly treasures he had previously taken out.

Like alchemy, weapon crafting also heavily relies on the crafter's own skill; otherwise, even high-grade materials cannot be smelted into the desired state, let alone subsequent steps.

One hour, two hours

Another four hours passed, and Zhang Yuan, following a certain order, melted the four kinds of rare and precious materials into four different states.

During this time, Xiao Yan came to visit, but after finding that he couldn't understand it at all, he obediently went back to eat dinner.

Qing Yanjing, Xun'er, and Little Fairy Doctor also came out from within the realm to take a look.

Finding Zhang Yuan engaged in serious business, they did not disturb him and went down the mountain to the Xiao family.

Xun'er and Qing Yanjing introduced Little Fairy Doctor to Xiao Zhan and the rest of the Xiao family.

Xiao Mei stood in the corner, looking both dejected and somewhat relieved, while Xiao Yu's eyes revealed a hint of persistence and determination.

Zhang Yuan was unaware of all this, as he was currently at a crucial moment in his weapon forging process.

"melt!"

Zhang Yuan used a specific method to integrate four materials into the Xuanzhong Ruler in a special way, and used the Four Dragons Thunder and Fire to make the materials achieve a delicate balance, gradually forming a special cycle.

"Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth—is this meant to transform the Xuanzhong Ruler into a combination of the five elements, rather than simply the power of fire and metal?" Yao Chen analyzed inwardly.

He was still the number one alchemist on the continent back then. If his strength had reached the level of a Dou Sheng, he would have become a ninth-grade alchemist long ago. His vision and perspective surpassed those of countless others.

By drawing inferences from similar cases, he could probably deduce the purpose behind some of Zhang Yuan's methods, but he only knew the "how" but not the "why," and he couldn't understand the principles and logic.

With so many things he couldn't understand, another four hours passed. The darkness inside the small world was followed by light, indicating the start of a new day, and the sun rose outside the small world.

Finally, the new Xuanzhong Ruler was completed, its volume reduced to about half of the original. Its black color deepened, giving it a more ancient and heavy feel. There was a groove slightly above the handle.

Zhang Yuan placed the sixth-tier fire-attribute magic core into the groove and used the Four Dragons Thunderfire to refine and seal it.

boom!

A scorching heat emanated from the Xuanzhong Ruler.

A red aura appeared in the veins on the sword's surface, which had become somewhat lifelike, as if flowing lava.

"A high-ranking sixth-grade official, not bad luck."

Zhang Yuan took the Xuanzhong Ruler in his hand and swung it around. Then he leaped into the air, gathered his strength, aimed at the distance, and suddenly swung it out with force.

A wisp of fire erupted and condensed from the Xuanzhong Ruler, detaching itself and transforming into a several-zhang-long molten lava sword aura. After flying a certain distance, it suddenly surged, transforming into a massive fire wave tens of zhang in size, engulfing the area tens of zhang ahead.

"Sigh~"

Xiao Yan, Xiao Yu, and the other group, along with Qing Yanjing and the other two women, who had been in the vicinity for some time, showed expressions of horror in their eyes.
