Chapter 218 The Method of Artifact Refining
"Congratulations on your Foundation Establishment, Junior Brother. Master has always been generous to his disciples." Yun Yishu said softly, "Newly promoted Foundation Establishment cultivators can have Master help them tailor-make a third-tier magic weapon."
Chen Beiwu was somewhat surprised to hear this.
Third-tier magic treasures are exclusive to Golden Core cultivators. Even if one's master is a renowned third-tier high-grade weapon refiner in the Earthly Evolution Realm, it would still take a considerable amount of time to refine a third-tier magic treasure.
Putting myself in others' shoes, if it were Chen Beiwu, even if he were to take on disciples in the future, he would never waste so much cultivation time crafting magic weapons for them; that would be a huge loss.
"You'll have to pay for the materials yourself when crafting this magic weapon," Yun Yishu reminded him. "Before you reach the Core Formation stage, you can gather some third-tier precious ore. If you're lucky enough to acquire a fourth-tier mystic ore, with Master's crafting skills, crafting a high-grade third-tier magic weapon will be a piece of cake."
"I see. It's a pity I don't have any suitable Tier 3 gem ore on hand right now." Chen Beiwu's eyes lit up slightly.
Although the third-tier magic treasures of the Immortal Alliance are far superior to those of the Southern Wilderness, they also have a drawback: complicated procedures and extremely long waiting times for appointments.
Because the higher-ups of the Immortal Alliance advocated conserving cultivation mineral resources, they even specially researched the Tongcan Huabing Secret Method, which can replace one's natal magic weapon.
It's no exaggeration to say that if you include the process of purchasing precious ore that requires approval, plus the time for refining the weapon, a Golden Core cultivator who wants to buy a Tier 3 magic weapon on the Immortal Alliance's official website will have to wait at least ten years.
Some Golden Core cultivators even have to wait a hundred years to obtain a custom-made third-tier magic weapon.
Over time, some Golden Core cultivators in the Immortal Alliance preferred to study the Secret Technique of Transforming Weapons into Weapons rather than go through the cumbersome procedures and purchase exclusive Tier 3 magic weapons from the Immortal Alliance's official website, with the exception of those of high status and position.
"No rush, Junior Brother, you can take your time. Just gather the precious ore before you form your core," Yun Yishu smiled.
Chen Beiwu understood his senior sister's deeper meaning and humbly asked why it was necessary to gather all the third-tier treasure ore before forming the core.
"Master has a secret method for forming the core called the Dao-Suppressing Furnace Elixir Method. It can use the power of a third-tier natal magic weapon to forcibly condense a wisp of immortal golden essence during the core formation process, increasing the probability of core formation by 20%."
"Using it together with the third-grade superior treasure pill, Golden Palace Pill, can increase the probability of forming a core to 50%."
Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu immediately became interested.
The Immortal Alliance has plenty of common Core Formation techniques and insights, but he had never heard of such a method of condensing immortal golden essence using one's natal magic weapon.
It should be understood that the reason why Foundation Establishment cultivators use the essence of the earth's evil spirits to temper their magic power is simply to use the essence of the innate earth veins to seize a trace of immortal gold, so that their magic power can be unified and possess a trace of immortality.
In this situation, no Foundation Establishment cultivator would complain about having too much Immortal Golden Nature; on the contrary, they would complain about having too little.
Moreover, Chen Beiwu possesses a flawless Dao foundation. In order to successfully form a Golden Core in the future, he will need to condense more Immortal Golden Nature to achieve a First-Grade Golden Core, or even a Titled Golden Core.
"Senior sister, how can we obtain this Dao-Suppressing Furnace Golden Nature Elixir Technique? Do we need to exchange it with contribution points?" Chen Beiwu asked impatiently.
Seeing her junior brother's reaction, Yun Yishu was not surprised.
When she first learned of this secret technique, her reaction was exactly the same as her junior brother Chen's; she couldn't contain her excitement.
"No contribution points are needed. According to the sect's custom, once junior brother has collected enough precious ore to forge a third-tier magic weapon, the master will bestow this Core Formation secret technique upon him."
At this point, Yun Yishu took out a jade slip from her storage ring and crushed it: "Now I will report the good news of your advancement to Foundation Establishment to Master."
"boom!"
At the instant the jade slip shattered, a vast and boundless divine consciousness, like the descent of the great sun, suddenly appeared.
It’s different in the past.
Facing the Golden Core Divine Sense Dharma Body, Chen Beiwu, with his current cultivation level, was already able to remain calm and composed.
Instead of being unable to move his body as before, and even being unable to control his breathing.
"Greetings, Master."
Chen Beiwu and Senior Sister Yun bowed to the two-zhang-tall phantom.
"No need for such formalities."
Zhu Shaoyuan, dressed in a dark Taoist robe, looked at Chen Beiwu with a gentle and curious gaze, showing no airs of a master.
The reason is simple: Chen Zi'ang reached the Foundation Establishment stage at the age of twenty, which is extremely impressive.
If it were a Foundation Establishment mid-stage cultivator with limited potential, Zhu Shaoyuan wouldn't even consider him a threat.
Such a weak Foundation Establishment cultivator doesn't even need to use his physical body; he can easily crush it with a single finger simply by descending with his divine sense.
But Chen Zi'ang was different.
In just a few years, he was able to cultivate the Seven Revolutions Qi Refining Method and advance to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. No matter what secrets this young man is hiding, he can be said to have a limitless future.
In the future, he will be fully capable of becoming a Golden Core Elder of the Mirror Moon Sect, on par with him, and may even have the opportunity to surpass his master and become a renowned Nascent Soul True Monarch in the Earthly Realm.
"To be fair, Chen Zi'ang is excellent in appearance, temperament, cultivation, and talent. Thinking about it carefully, he is quite a good match for my daughter. Perhaps they can form a happy marriage." Zhu Shaoyuan thought to himself.
Chen Beiwu remained composed, allowing his master's gaze to scrutinize him.
"I've been traveling around inspecting the sect's territory all these years and haven't had time to guide you." Zhu Shaoyuan's eyes showed appreciation as he spoke frankly, "Even so, you've made rapid progress. It seems you're hiding quite a few secrets."
Seeing the strange expression on Chen Zi'ang's face, Zhu Shaoyuan waved his hand and said casually, "No need to explain. Whether you are a reincarnation of a True Monarch, exceptionally talented, or possess profound knowledge and inherit the legacy of a True Monarch, I have no intention of exploring your secrets. I only care about your opinion of the sect."
"Without the Mirror Moon Sect, there would be no disciples like we have today," Chen Beiwu said from the bottom of his heart.
While individual effort is important, the assistance of the platform is also indispensable.
If he hadn't joined the Mirror Moon Sect, but instead, out of caution, become one of the five unaffiliated cultivators in the Southern Wilderness, he probably would have only been able to join the Seven Nine Upper Sect like Xu Ziqing after the college entrance examination, instead of the Upper Three Immortal Sect, let alone have had time to cultivate Qi and build a foundation.
"Very good." Zhu Shaoyuan nodded.
With his insight, he could naturally see that Chen Zi'ang was not lying, but rather expressing his true feelings.
Zhu Shaoyuan had no intention of deceiving his disciple; he truly had no interest in Chen Zi'ang's secrets, let alone harbor any delusions.
Because it's not worth the risk!
First, seizing opportunities from disciples goes against his cultivation philosophy, and even if he could successfully seize them, those opportunities might not necessarily benefit him.
Secondly, Chen Zi'ang's spiritual consciousness was growing too fast, so fast that Zhu Shaoyuan was wary of it.
You should know that when they first met, Zhu Shaoyuan thought Chen Ziang was a promising talent with good spiritual awareness and temperament, and worth cultivating.
However, upon meeting him this time, Zhu Shaoyuan was surprised to find that Chen Ziang's spiritual strength was only slightly inferior to his own, comparable to a Golden Core cultivator.
What does this mean?
Recalling the contents recorded in ancient books, Zhu Shaoyuan suspected that Chen Zi'ang was very likely a Nascent Soul True Lord, or even a Transformation God True Venerable who was reincarnated with innate wisdom.
