Chapter 1077: Chapter 588_2 Chapter 1077: Chapter 588_2 If it werenât for Nangong Xuanyu, Chen Mobai, with his qualifications for Divinity Transformation, would be the prime candidate for the Primordial Yang Set.
With that being the case, there really was no necessity for him to refine the Primordial Yang Set himself.
Chen Mobai: âTeacher Hong, I am planning to apply my knowledge and try refining some magic artifacts. Here are the designs Iâve devised; please take a look.â
Hong Mengkui: âMm, integrating knowledge with action is indeed the fastest approach to achieve unity of theory and practice,â
Having already achieved the theoretical knowledge of a near Rank-3 Artifact Refiner, Chen Mobai passed his designs to Hong Mengkui, who checked the various parameters marked on the blueprints and gave a satisfied nod.
However, his brows furrowed when he glanced at the material list.
Hong Mengkui: âYou should practice with Rank-1 materials first; these Rank-2 materials are too precious for a novice like you⊠and there are even Rank-3 onesâŠâ
Chen Mobai: âThe designs utilize the best material specifications, but I will certainly downgrade when actually practicing.â
Within the Immortal Gate, materials are scarce. If cultivators wish to refine their own Lifespan Artifacts, they would naturally aim for the best quality, and just the collection of materials could take a long time.
For instance, when Che Yucheng first entered Core Formation, it took him a total of eight years to gather all the core chips and materials needed to refine a Rank-3 puppet.
Some Golden Core Masters couldnât even complete their collection before passing away in meditation.
It canât be helped, as there were only so many top-tier items above Rank-3 available each year, and everyone was vying for them.
Some high-ranked items were even coveted by Nascent Soul Superiors.
âThank you, Teacher Hong, for your guidance.â
During their conversation, the two concluded todayâs lesson.
Chen Mobai looked at the disconnected video link on the screen, picked up the printed blueprints, activated the Turtle Treasure, and returned to the Tianhe Realm.
âSect Leader, here are the Artifact Refining materials collected according to your list.â
Inside Shenmu Hall, Luo Xueâer handed a storage bag to Chen Mobai.
Materials might be scarce within the Immortal Gate, but there were plenty in the Eastern Wilderness.
As the Sect Leader of the Divine Wood Sect, he hardly felt anything about Rank-1 or Rank-2 materials. It was only when Rank-3 materials were used up that he would feel pain.
At Chen Mobaiâs command, Luo Xueâer began organizing the Reward Virtue Hallâs inventory, and with the addition of tasks issued by the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, the materials were gathered for him in less than half a month.
âMmm, youâve worked hard.â
At that time, the head of the Artifact Refining Department, Wang Tingbo, also stepped forward, indicating that he had prepared the Sectâs best refining room for Chen Mobaiâthe intensity of the True Fire within was sufficient for refining Rank-3 magic artifacts.
âLetâs go and take a look together.â
After hearing this, Chen Mobai immediately followed everyone to inspect the site and then shook his head.
The artifact refining technique in the Eastern Wilderness was far too backward.
They used traditional True Fire to melt ores, then shaped them with Divine Sense or by pouring them into molds, and during the formation of the magic artifact, they would embed various restrictions and attach spells.
During this process, the temperature control of True Fire, the precision of Divine Sense, and the casting of spells all depended on the Artifact Refinerâs own skill.
If any of these aspects werenât controlled properly during the refining process, the magic artifact would basically be ruined.
In the Immortal Gate, however, it was different. You could set the True Fire to any temperature you wanted, and the machine would adjust it for you; the most expensive True Fire reactor could control the temperature with absolute precision.
The cheaper ones fluctuated by at most two or three degrees.
Magic artifact shaping, material fusing, cooling time, etc., could all be controlled by machines.
It was the transitions between procedures and the step of attaching spells that truly tested the Artifact Refinerâs foundation.
Nonetheless, since he was there, Chen Mobai still gave it a try in what was claimed to be the finest refining room of both the Divine Wood Sect and all of the Eastern Wilderness, as prepared by Wang Tingbo.
To avoid demolishing his image as a peerless genius, Chen Mobai picked up the simplest piece of Green Yang Spiritual Wood and then, with a concentration of his gaze, transformed it into a Divine Wood Sword amidst the flash of cold light.
Relying on the materials, this sword was undoubtedly of intermediate grade Rank-2, and Chen Mobai, with his Golden Core Realmâs divine sense attached, coupled with the theories from the Immortal Gate, easily attached a Purple Fire Sword Light to the blade.
Even after one, he felt he hadnât reached his limit and sealed anotherâŠ
It wasnât until the third one that the Divine Wood Sword in his hand began to get scorching hot, with a tendency to burn, that he stopped.
âThis is an intermediate grade Rank-2 Talisman Sword, I suppose!â
Chen Mobai put the sword on the table in the artifact refining room with a faint sense of satisfaction.
âThe Sect Leader is incredible!â
Wang Tingbo, not good with words, stood beside the table, observing the Divine Wood Sword and feeling the fierce sword light surging on it, managing to squeeze out these four words.
âThe Sect Leader can refine such a talisman sword in a blink, his artifact refining mastery is truly unrivaled in the sect.â
Luo Xueâer, compared to him, was much more talkative.
âI took some shortcuts. When adding the enchantments, I used the method of talisman drawing. If a Qi Practitioner wants to activate the two sword lights, they need to use blood as ink and supplement it with pure Red Flame Spirit Power.â
The Divine Wood Sword refined by Chen Mobai, without his guidance, would probably require a long time to grapple with before the correct usage could be mastered.
He directly snapped his fingers in front of everyone, and the sword artifact on the table flew up, then he demonstrated the Sword Control technique.
The Flying Sword erupted with purple-red flames, like a fire dragon racing back and forth in the artifact refining room, amazingly brilliant.
âSect Leader, the sectâs grand competition is imminent, this year also happens to be the year for distributing Foundation Building Pills, a highly significant event. How about we use this newly refined Shenmu Purple Light Sword as the prize for the first place in the true inheritance?â
After Chen Mobai demonstrated the Flying Sword, Yue Zutao immediately stepped forward and suggested.
Mainly because the Foundation Establishment Practitioners from the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions who came along were all covetous of the Flying Sword, all thinking about how to get it into their own hands afterward.
This was the first Flying Sword personally refined by the foremost sword cultivator of the Eastern Wilderness, also engraved with his two sword lights; even if they could not comprehend it themselves, leaving it to their disciples or successors would be beneficial.
Yue Zutao also thought of this, so he simply spoke up first, to prevent discord among the others over the sword later on.
âShenmu Purple Light Sword? Thatâs a good name, letâs do it your way.â
After hearing this, Chen Mobai smiled, waved his sword finger, and the flying sword in mid-air, trailing a line of fire, landed in front of Yue Zutao, who immediately accepted it.
âI wonder which true inheritor will be able to win the Sect Leaderâs Flying Sword!â
Xie Yuntian said with a hint of envy on the side; his Red Flame Sword Jue was second only to Chen Mobai in the sect, and he was only a thread away from Foundation Establishment Completion, making him the most eager for the Shenmu Purple Light Sword.
However, Yue Zutaoâs suggestion, for him, turned out to be a blessing.
Indeed, after the end of the sectâs grand competition, the true inheritor from the Sword Training Division won first place and got the Flying Sword, which naturally ended up in Xie Yuntianâs hands.
As for this, Chen Mobai had indeed heard about it but merely laughed it off.
At least Xie Yuntian still abided by the sectâs rules.
Compared to the distribution of Foundation Building Pills, he didnât want to bother with these minor matters.
Since Zeng Woyou had already mastered the refinement of Foundation Building Pills proficiently, the Divine Wood Sect now didnât have to be exploited by Back to Sky Valley and could enjoy them alone.
A total of ten Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms matured. Zeng Woyou had already started to refine Foundation Building Pills one after the other a year ago.
Chen Mobai knew best that if a sect wanted to become strong, the future was the most critical.
Therefore, he had Zeng Woyou drop all his other tasks, even halting the refining of his Longevity Dew, and also mobilized the rest of the sectâs related Spirit Plant and other departments to fully assist Zeng Woyou in refining the Foundation Building Pills. Anyone dropping the ball in this would be sent straight to Lonely Spirit Ridge to mine after the sectâs grand competition.
Thanks to the Spirit Cultivation Method passed down by Chen Mobai, coupled with all the sectâs resources and manpower at the disposal of the Alchemy Department, Zeng Woyouâs success rate in pill formation had reached an astonishing eighty to ninety percent.
In three yearsâ time, ten furnaces of Foundation Building Pills were successively opened, for a total harvest of 86 pills.
Subtracting the three-tenths owed to Golden Cliff, there were exactly 60 pills left.
