My Daoist partner helps me cultivate immortality

Don't notice me...

The branch president, accompanied by a seemingly ordinary-looking Taoist priest in purple robes, arrived at the plaza in front of the Refiners' Guild. All the refiners were already lined up in two rows, bowing and shouting, "Welcome, Ancestor!"

"Hahaha..."

The purple-robed Taoist priest revealed a kind smile, lightly waved his whisk, and everyone involuntarily straightened their bodies.

Then, the branch president led him toward Lin Ye, who was hiding behind the crowd.

The purple-robed Nascent Soul elder laughed and said, "Is this the junior?"

"Reporting to the Ancestor, it is indeed this person."

Lin Ye was already covered in cold sweat.

In an instant, it felt as if a long battle had taken place in his heart.

The branch president of NieMa really gave me a bad introduction!

The onlookers were even more astonished and uncertain.

The fourth-grade weapon refiner ancestor actually went straight to Fellow Daoist Lin.

Do his magical artifacts, which are incomprehensible but generally made of poor materials, really have such great research value?

Even a Nascent Soul cultivator had to personally intervene!

Some people have already realized that the value of Lin Ye's magical artifacts is about to skyrocket.

I really regret not stocking up more before...

The purple-robed patriarch glanced at Lin Ye, then raised an eyebrow at the branch leader and said, "It's not a low-grade spiritual root, it's clearly a mid-grade spiritual root."

"What you said is incorrect."

The branch president was taken aback.

this...

At that time, Lin Ye only verbally stated that he had a low-grade spiritual root!

He actually had a hidden trick up his sleeve. What is this kid up to...? In any case, I recommended Lin Ye to the Ancestor, so this must be an accident.

The branch president had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Ancestor, perhaps it was due to the subordinate's poor performance that day, resulting in a mistake in the registration. I will investigate thoroughly immediately."

"Oh, it's nothing."

The purple-robed Taoist waved his sleeve.

Lin Ye calmed down a little.

However, they couldn't quite figure out what this unfamiliar Nascent Soul ancestor was thinking.

"Young friend, did you refine this?"

The purple-robed Taoist priest had a kind face and took out a flying sword with a flick of his wrist.

Lin Ye looked closely and saw that it was the best of the low-grade spiritual weapons he had made.

It turns out the branch president had collected them.

Lin Ye clasped his hands and said, "To be honest, Ancestor, it was indeed refined by this junior. I was in excellent condition at the time and performed exceptionally well."

The Nascent Soul Ancestor shook his head: "I know that, but the other similar products you made are also quite good!"

"Thank you for the compliment, ancestor."

"Haha, I heard you're already a second-grade weapon refiner, and you completed the assessment in just half a day as a seventh-level Qi Refining cultivator?"

Lin Ye felt a chill run down her spine.

He quickly replied, "That's true. I was in good condition at the time!"

The weapon refiners around them almost fainted from hearing this.

It was already incredible that Fellow Daoist Lin passed the second-grade weapon refiner assessment with only the seventh level of Qi Refining, but they had no idea about the details of the examination.

To complete the second-grade weapon refiner assessment in half a day... is this even human?

Does he have eight arms?

So, what did the Nascent Soul Ancestor want with him?

"I wonder if you've ever heard of the [Spiritual Path], young friend?" The purple-robed Taoist paused. "You, a rogue cultivator, are probably unaware of it. Why don't you introduce it to me?"

Lin Ye's legs trembled, and he almost ran away first.

The Spirit Path continued for a thousand years, and he visited it when he was in the Nascent Soul stage.

It's a place where a bunch of abnormal little monsters who can fight opponents far stronger than themselves fight.

Going there would be suicide.

The branch president hurriedly said, "The Spirit Road is a grand gathering for the geniuses of the Eastern Divine Continent to hone their skills. Its format is modeled after the [Path to Immortality], and it is divided into two levels: Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment."

"Winning the championship is an unparalleled honor, and even a Nascent Soul Ancestor might show him great favor!"

"The next opening of the spiritual path will take three years."

"By then, young friend, you will have probably broken through to the eighth level of Qi Refining? Participating in the first half of the Spiritual Path will be a bit of a stretch, but it will be enough."

The purple-robed Taoist also smiled and looked at Lin Ye.

I'm already a bit too old!

An adult appearing there will inevitably be surrounded by a bunch of children...

Lin Ye's hands trembled with nervousness as he clasped his hands and said, "This junior has never fought against a cultivator in my life, and I am not worthy of being called a combatant!"

The purple-robed Taoist laughed heartily: "Young friend, rest assured, the Spiritual Path is not a contest of individual strength, but a battle of collective wisdom and effort. No spiritual artifacts are allowed to enter!"

"The highest grade one high-level spiritual weapon materials can be found in the arena. Young friend, can you create the strongest grade one high-level spiritual weapon? If you can, someone will protect you."

This competition format.

It is different from what it was a thousand years later.

Lin Ye's eyes flickered slightly, sensing that the multiplayer format was more favorable to him.

The purple-robed Taoist raised his voice slightly: "I heard that you took the lead and ensured that the Weapon Refiners' Guild and Wanbaolou could evacuate in advance?"

"If it weren't for this matter, I would have had other ideas about the quota for the Spirit Path."

The branch president, nervously winking behind him, said, "Wouldn't it be easy for young friend Lin to sit comfortably in the back on Ling Road?"

"It's also good for my Refiner's Guild to win some glory."

"The ancestor has invited you, young friend Lin, you must not refuse now!"

Lin Ye sighed inwardly.

The on-site process of a weapon refiner is slower than that of an alchemist, talisman master, or array master.

In this kind of situation, it probably wouldn't be very popular.

With my incredibly fast hand speed, it's no wonder that high expectations were placed on me.

This is really terrible!

However, the Nascent Soul Ancestor's request could not be refused.

Based on the viewing experience of the Spirit Road a thousand years later.

If you can make it into the top 100 on the Spiritual Path, you will receive a badge. Even if you become a high-level cultivator, the status of being among the "top 100 on the Spiritual Path" is a great honor and a testament to your potential.

If you're going to go, aim for the top 100.

Lin Ye replied respectfully, "This junior will do my utmost!"

There are still three years to develop.

If I could work harder and reach the tenth level of Qi Refining...

In addition to the [unusual phenomenon], and the top-tier physical body of the Qi Refining stage...

Hmm? Thinking about it this way, am I considered pretty good at fighting during the Qi Refining stage?

Lin Ye caught his breath.

The purple-robed patriarch was satisfied with this. The follow-up matters, including ensuring that Lin Ye could be found at that time, were to be handled by his subordinates, and were not matters for people of his status to consider.

When the ancestor is not present.

Lin Ye felt that he didn't match the impression he had of the other people in the Refiner's Guild.

"May I ask which venerable ancestor you respectfully call?"

The branch president said, "You wouldn't recognize him even if I told you. This ancestor is a guest elder of our Weapon Refiners Guild."

"Our ancestor was a powerful member of the Golden Crow clan, a noble family of the Great Wilderness. Since arriving in the Four Continents, he has been passionate about the weapon-forging techniques of our Eastern Divine Continent."

Oh!

The Golden Crow Clan!

They're actually nobles from the Great Wilderness! They've become just like the local cultivators. They must have lived on the four continents for decades. I really didn't recognize them at all.

The most elite direct descendants of the Golden Crow clan may possess the bloodline of the Three-Legged Golden Crow.

To be honest, Lin Ye really craved this kind of bloodline.

Chapter Fifty-Three: The Chainsaw Sword, Three New Types of Spiritual Weapons!

The three-legged golden crow possesses a powerful bloodline ability—the True Fire of the Sun!

If it were fused with the Eye of the Candle Dragon...

Isn't this absolutely mind-blowing?

Unfortunately, it's just a thought for now.

The eldest son, possessing the bloodline of the Three-Legged Golden Crow, was pampered and raised in the clan's territory deep in the Great Wilderness from a young age, rarely venturing out.

Only the heavy responsibility of serving as a stepping stone for the chosen one... would attract such top talents!

Now that the task has been accepted.

While the patriarch was still there, Lin Ye prepared to show him his masterpiece...

"A mid-grade first-rank spiritual weapon, an electric shock baton!"

"A top-grade first-rank spiritual weapon, the chainsaw sword!"

"A Grade Two, Initial-Level Spiritual Weapon: Vibrating Rod!"

“Ancestor, these are all my masterpieces.”

Lin Ye took out three novel gadgets in one go, startling the purple-robed patriarch who was drinking tea in the private room.

"Don't call me Ancestor anymore, just call me Senior Wu."

As any junior cultivator would do, Lin Ye was flattered and replied, "Yes, Senior Wu!"

The purple-robed cultivator with the Golden Crow bloodline picked up the stun gun with great interest.

"Electric shock? Could it be lightning-based?!"

As the Golden Crow Ancestor was speaking, he accidentally touched the switch, and the front half of the staff in his hand actually released a burst of lightning power.

A look of surprise flashed in the old ancestor's eyes.

As a mutated spiritual root, lightning power is very rare!

This kind of magical artifact has never been seen before in the Great Wilderness.

Feeling the faint electric current at his fingertips, the ancestor exclaimed with delight, "Hehe, as expected of a spiritual artifact from the Eastern Divine Continent! Truly profound and extensive!"

Branch President: "???"

Isn't it true that you need at least Grade 3 materials to make a lightning-type magical artifact?

Why is there a "first-class" item here...?

This... is not something from the weapon-refining world of the Eastern Divine Continent!

The branch president stared at Lin Ye with wide, round eyes, his heart pounding with fear.
