My Daoist partner helps me cultivate immortality

"Of course!"

Gongshu Yan was smug, but he quickly came to his senses and frowned, saying, "But we can't underestimate them! The forging speed of the flesh furnace is not as fast as that of the metal furnace, so it is not very competitive in the competition."

"However, the magical artifacts of the Meteor Fire Sect are highly sought after in the market."

Gongshu Yan put his arm around Lin Ye's shoulder and whispered, "I've heard that the Mechanized City Palace is their lair. We'll have to teach those people a lesson..."

"Let's see who the real chosen ones are!" Lin Ye gritted his teeth. "Their sense of superiority is innate. Perhaps we can't completely crush them, but we can swallow them up!"

Lin Ye's rare boast caused Gongshu Yan to momentarily lose his composure.

"Haha, yes! That's it!"

Back home, Lin Ye decided to immediately begin his hellish special training.

For the next three months, until he set off to leave, Lin Ye planned to spend his days going back and forth between his bedroom and the workshop.

Chapter 56 Three Months

Three months later.

Wanbaolou, the manager's reception room.

Many things have happened in the Qingyang Sect in the past three months.

Firstly, Lin Ye himself became more diligent in his weapon-refining training than ever before, temporarily reducing production and allocating more energy to practice.

The Meteor Fire Sect has not yet grown into a large and powerful force.

But no matter what, they also have a Nascent Soul Ancestor in charge, which makes Lin Ye feel very threatened.

Fortunately, he had successfully fabricated the identity of a young master with "a powerful background," otherwise, if he had encountered the Meteor Fire Sect during the Qi Refining stage, he would have been bullied by those guys.

On the other hand, Lin Ye also obtained the [Heavenly Secret Inscription] that he desperately needed.

When the manager of Wanbaolou discovered that the people from the Refiners Guild were not ordinary fourth-grade refiners, but guest elders from the Great Wilderness, he was too frightened to go and buy from the Golden Crow Ancestor.

Finally, it was only after Wanbaolou's own Nascent Soul stage reached that the shopkeeper managed to obtain the [Heavenly Secret Inscription] for Lin Ye.

The Nascent Soul Ancestor of Wanbaolou followed the rules, and did not charge the shopkeeper a single penny more than the allotted spirit stones.

However, if you need to ask your superior for a favor, the person in charge of that favor has to honestly owe you one.

"Finally, I can leave this small place, Qingyang Sect. There's no future in staying here."

The shopkeeper stepped on the jade bricks under his feet and said with a smile, "We'll set off tomorrow. After leaving the Qingyang Sect, I'll be working for this old ancestor."

"Young friend Lin, sometimes, owing your boss a favor can make him more confident in your work."

“I didn’t tell the ancestor that this Heavenly Secret Inscription was for you, so you don’t owe him any favors.”

As the Heavenly Secrets Inscriptions merged into his body, Lin Ye felt his body filled with mist, making it impossible for outsiders to delve deeper.

He smiled and said, "Thank you, shopkeeper."

"I don't think the Ancestor needs to do a favor for someone as lowly as me who is only at the Qi Refining stage."

"Hehe, no need to be so polite..."

The shopkeeper's gaze held a hint of pity.

This kid is going to the Imperial Palace in the Mechanical City.

Anyone who gets involved with the Great Wilderness Emperor will likely benefit; how pitiful!

The [Desolate Curse] that you automatically receive upon entering the Imperial Palace of the Mechanized City can record a cultivator's contribution to the palace and be exchanged for various treasures. But who knows if it might be a preparation made by that emperor for a blood sacrifice of the creatures of the four continents?

Even those at the Nascent Soul stage find it extremely difficult to escape the Desolate Curse; this is truly terrifying.

The shopkeeper raised his teacup, ready to dismiss Lin Ye.

Lin Ye then clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Shopkeeper, I'll take my leave now."

The shopkeeper choked for a moment: "You're really not being polite, kid... Let's go!"

"Shopkeeper, don't forget to board the ship on time tomorrow."

The shopkeeper said irritably, "Heh, thanks for reminding me! Do you think I'd be left behind here?"

After Lin Ye walked away.

The shopkeeper looked up at the sky, strolled to the railing, and gazed at the brightly lit Wanbaolou below, his eyes filled with lingering nostalgia.

Go home.

Lin Ye couldn't wait to rush into the workshop.

Take out a nearly completed prosthetic limb and do the final polishing of the connecting parts.

As a tiny flame continued to burn away the metal, the surface became smoother and smoother.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the connectors of the prosthetic limb had become as smooth and clean as a mirror, and Lin Ye's forehead began to sweat slightly.

He is using flames to erode the artifacts instead of sandpaper!

This was a training session that even Lin Ye found extremely tiring. He tried to improve the precision of controlling the Candle Dragon Fire through meticulous operation.

This training requires extreme concentration, focusing on minute details, and continuing for more than twelve hours a day.

For the past three months, Lin Ye has had to use some spiritual medicines to nourish his eyes and clear his mind as an aid.

Even long training sessions will damage one's mental age, so Lin Ye would use dual cultivation to soothe his mood during breaks.

Three months of training transformed the surface from rough to spotless, like new, from 24-grit coarse sandpaper to 3,000-grit or finer sandpaper!

The process of polishing the metal surface from rough to smooth was entirely carried out using small streams of candle flame. Initially, Lin Ye only dared to practice on scrap materials.

Three months later, they were able to use finished products for training, and also for polishing.

The surface of the prosthetic limb in front of him was already so shiny it could reflect a mirror, but Lin Ye still didn't stop polishing it. The flames were so fine that they couldn't be seen with the naked eye in the dark.

Two more incense sticks' worth of time have passed, and it still hasn't stopped!

Lin Ye was drenched in sweat and his eyes were dry.

"...Success! We can't refine it any further for now!"

Finally, after three incense sticks had burned, the procedure was completed. Lin Ye used the eye-protecting elixir essence to drip into his eyes and asked his master to help with the examination.

The moment Gongshu Yan saw the prosthetic limb, his eyes lit up: "Lin Ye, it seems even smoother this time!"

"I started observing, first using my Qi Refining stage spiritual sense."

Under this level of spiritual awareness scanning.

The desktop, which is usually considered to be very flat, looks rough.

However, the surface of the prosthesis still appears smooth.

"Foundation Building Stage..."

Gongshu Yan began to sweat, noticing that the surface of the prosthesis remained completely smooth.

"A Golden Core stage divine sense!"

Gongshu Yan fully unleashed the power of his divine consciousness.

In the small area that Lin Ye was focusing on depicting, the prosthesis still looked perfectly smooth!

Gongshu Yan withdrew his divine sense, his heart pounding with emotion.

As a genius, she was even more aware of how difficult it was to achieve such precision.

What Lin Ye had always been striving for was to make sure that even his master couldn't find fault with it.

"My good disciple...you succeeded..."

"You're amazing!" Gongshu Yan picked up Lin Ye and spun her around a few times, unable to contain his joy.

"Master, please put me down."

"Finally, we've reached this point!"

Lin Ye was very satisfied.

Even a Golden Core cultivator's divine sense couldn't find any loopholes!

This level of precision allows Lin Ye to create extremely exquisite magical artifacts.

If one were to use their own body as a furnace to imitate it, the artifact would become easily damaged due to minor errors in the connecting parts!

And then I'll say...

"Don't show off inferior products!"

Lin Ye was in a great mood. He left the workshop with his prosthetic leg and his master told him to practice a little longer.

He paced around looking for them and found Gu Yuesheng and Chu Yingying in the side room, listening to Teacher Ren Qingyu's teaching.

After Wenren Qingyu completed her breakthrough materials, she was already a proper Golden Core cultivator.

It's more than enough to teach two Qi Refining stage cultivators.

However, upon seeing Lin Ye enter, both Chu Yingying and Gu Yuesheng greeted him with smiles.

"Senior is here?"

"My lord, who shall serve you tonight?"

Only Wenren Qingyu was so frightened that she trembled slightly like a hamster, hiding half of her body behind the bed.

"Master, you've arrived...!"

"Well, here I come!"

Wenren Qingyu was suddenly startled.

Normally, when Lin Ye came to his room, he would simply say "hmm" to greet him, and Wenren Qingyu would tremble and rub her legs in fright.

But she hadn't expected her host to be so hospitable today.

Wenren Qingyu blushed and leaned over the bedside.

For some reason, the humidity in the room seemed to have increased slightly.

"I have good news today..."

Lin Ye grabbed Gu Yuesheng and swiftly removed her prosthetic leg.

Gu Yuesheng simply blinked.

Wenren Qingyu, standing beside her, trembled like a startled bird.

"Senior, is this how we're going to play today?"

"No..." Lin Ye took a breath: "The brand new one is done."

"A true prosthetic body that can circulate spiritual energy just like a physical body!"

Gu Yuesheng was stunned: "It can circulate spiritual energy..."

"There are prosthetic limbs like this?! Seriously...?"

Before she could finish asking, Lin Ye magically produced a prosthetic limb from his spatial token and quickly put it on her.

Compared to the three magical artifacts previously displayed, this prosthetic body is Lin Ye's true masterpiece.

These kinds of prosthetics would be very expensive in the cyber age. They can circulate spiritual energy just like real limbs, and are very easy to install and remove.

The surface is also covered with a soft, silicone-like material, making it feel and look almost exactly like a normal arm.

Gu Yuesheng stared blankly at his novice. Before he could even operate the machine, Lin Ye had already finished replacing his prosthetic leg.

"So beautiful, it looks just like the real thing..."

No one rushed to congratulate him; instead, they waited for Gu Yuesheng to adjust.

Soon, tears welled up in her eyes, but she exclaimed excitedly, "Hands... feet... even my eyes! I have them all back!"

"Senior, I'm just like a normal cultivator now, right?"

Lin Ye waved his hand: "No."

"The prosthetic arm I made is far stronger than a normal Qi Refining stage arm! And your eyes are also..."

Halfway through his sentence, Gu Yuesheng hugged Lin Ye tightly, buried his head, and gently shook her.
