Chapter 978: Chapter 616: One Saint Three Families! (4K)

Behind the mountains of Mount Taihua Sacred Land, Lin Shiyu was guiding Dugu Aotian and Lin Qinghan in forging magical treasures.

Thick smoke billowed from the iron furnace, Lin Qinghan’s True Qi transformed into Ziwei Celestial Flame, melting the rare refining materials inside the furnace into fiery red molten iron.

Lin Qinghan, who was capable of forging superior Emperor Soldiers in the Immortal Emperor Realm, now intended to refine a Dao Artifact Level magical treasure.

For a Holy Land, Artifact Refiners, Alchemists, and Talisman Makers are invaluable resources.

Once Lin Qinghan can forge a Dao Artifact Level magical treasure, Mount Taihua Sacred Land could add several new Dao Artifacts, deepening its foundation even further.

Lu Changsheng appeared.

“Are you here to check on your disciple’s cultivation progress, or to see this girl?”

Seeing Lu Changsheng’s arrival, Lin Shiyu wondered what the junior was thinking this time.

“The junior acquired a type of refining material on Meteorite Island. Knowing that the senior is highly skilled in the art of refining, I would like to ask if there is a way to use this material to craft a magical treasure?”

Being the Ancestor most adept at refining in Mount Taihua Sacred Land, Lin Shiyu might be able to utilize the supreme refining material, the Jade Balance Star Core, to create a magical treasure.

A magical treasure made from the Jade Balance Star Core, imbued with the Starforce of the Yu Heng Ancient Star, would surely shake the Three Realms once it’s completed.

“I don’t mean to boast, but within the Three Realms, there are very few materials I cannot refine.”

In Lin Shiyu’s palm, a scorching flame emerged, the inner flame of the Ziwei Ancient Star, intensely hot.

Lu Changsheng and Lin Qinghan’s understanding of the Ziwei Celestial Flame True Art pales in comparison to Lin Shiyu’s.

The intensity of flame control determines the height of an Artifact Refiner’s skill.

If even the ore cannot be melted, let alone forging a magical treasure.

Lin Shiyu learned the art of refining from her sister, the Mount Taihua Goddess, and had cultivated the Ziwei Celestial Flame True Art to Great Perfection, so there were indeed very few refining materials that could stump her.

But what if Lu Changsheng took out materials from beyond the Three Realms? How would one deal with that?

Lu Changsheng took out a piece of dark purple metal the size of a fingernail, seemingly struggling to hold it, his forehead beading with sweat.

Lin Qinghan and Dugu Aotian were both incredibly surprised.

This was just a small piece of metal; given Lu Changsheng’s realm, was it worthy of such an effort to hold in his hand?

All Lin Shiyu did was glance at the tiny piece of metal, but her entire being seemed to be drawn into it: “This is an Ancient Star Core, an extremely heavy and superior refining material from beyond the Three Realms; there’s probably very little throughout the Three Realms…”

“Ancient Star Core?”

Lin Qinghan had heard from Lin Shiyu about this highest grade of refining materials.

At the star’s core, the density is extremely high, the hardness immense, capable of sustaining colossal amounts of True Qi.

The star core also contains vast Starforce, and when refined into a magical treasure, it can utilize this power to enhance the treasure’s might.

It is said that some of the magical treasures used by ancient Human Emperors were made from the cores of ancient stars.

“The small piece of Ancient Star Core you’ve obtained should be from one of the Big Dipper Ancient Stars, the Yu Heng Ancient Star, containing a trace of the Yu Heng Ancient Star’s Starforce, and it can remotely resonate with it. It’s a pity it is slightly insufficient, otherwise once forged into a magical treasure, another superb treasure would be added to the Three Realms.”

Lin Shiyu was both excited and disappointed.

The Jade Balance Star Core was a superb refining material for magical treasures, but it was a shame that this little of it did not have many good uses.

If crafted into something like the Storm Pear Flower Needles, the might of the needles would lack, only good for sneak attacks.

If the Jade Balance Star Core were merged with other materials, the result wouldn’t match a magical treasure crafted mainly from the Jade Balance Star Core; it is likely that the other materials would shatter while the star core remained.

“It is a bit too little…”

However, Lu Changsheng was not at all worried about this issue.

Although the amount of the Jade Balance Star Core was indeed small, he knew that by rewarding his disciple with Star River Sand, there was an exceptionally low chance that the system would return the Jade Balance Star Core.

In the long run, Lu Changsheng might be able to gather enough Jade Balance Star Core to refine an unparalleled magical treasure.

At the moment, the issue that Lu Changsheng was most concerned about was finding an Artifact Refiner capable of forging the Jade Balance Star Core into a magical treasure: “So you’re saying, if the junior could find enough Jade Balance Star Core, would the senior have a way to refine it into a magical treasure?”

Lin Shiyu shook her head: “The Jade Balance Star Core already belongs to the realm of refining materials from outside the Three Realms, and it is the hardest substance within the Yu Heng Ancient Star; even the Ziwei Celestial Flame can’t melt it, let alone refine it into a magical treasure.”

“Could it be that within the Three Realms, there is no one else who can forge it into a magical treasure? How did those ancient Human Emperors manage to do it?”

“Just because I can’t do it, doesn’t mean that others can’t. In the realm of refining during the Ancient Times, there was a saying about ‘One Saint Three Families’.”

“One Saint Three Families?”

Lu Changsheng, Lin Qinghan, and Dugu Aotian became intrigued.

Such secrets were not necessarily recorded in ancient classics; they were mostly transmitted among the Ancient Great Powers.

“The so-called ‘One Saint’ refers to the Heavenly Fire Holy Land. This is the Holy Land with the highest level of artifact refining skills in the Immortal Realm, similar to the Lianshan Holy Land which specializes in alchemy. Despite their overall power not being strong, their stature is not low, and all major Holy Lands try to please them as they need their assistance. It’s possible that several old beings from Heavenly Fire Holy Land have the ability to use the Jade Balance Star Core to craft magical treasures.”

The name of the Heavenly Fire Holy Land was indeed something Lu Changsheng had heard of.

This Holy Land was primarily focused on artifact refining, from the Sect Leader to the ordinary disciples, all were artifact refiners, taking pride in their craft.
