283 Self-Confessed as the Second in the World
“It seems like that big crab wasn’t lying. The remaining one-third of the heavenly and earth puppet mystic scripture did have traces of being edited! However, it shouldn’t have been a malicious modification. It was just that the person who repaired it was unable to do so, or perhaps he was overconfident, which led to a problem with the repair.”
A certain little girl with exquisite features was currently supporting her chin with her small hand as she analyzed the situation seriously.
She was like an unreliable military adviser.
However, her other fair and tender hand seemed to be unable to stay idle. She rubbed the raw “synthetic material” that Fang Jinyu had recently refined back and forth as if she were kneading dough.
The small hand looked small, but it had a lot of strength. There was also nomological power circulating, so the lump of “synthetic material” really turned into dough.
Fang Jinyu took a few glances at it and couldn’t stand it anymore. He snatched it back.
Although it was another failed synthesis, compared to the previous few times, this time the raw “synthetic material” was refined with great improvement!
It was because it was originally an ordinary spirit ore from the Nine Desolations. According to the classification of ninth-grade heavenly materials and earthly treasures of the Thousand Realms in the upper realm, the ordinary spirit ore couldn’t even be considered a grade 1 heavenly material and earthly treasure. It could only be considered an ore that contained some spiritual energy, so its quality had been improved.
However, after Fang Jinyu’s synthesis and refinement, the spirit ore had become a middle to a high-grade spiritual item of the Nine Desolations.
It could completely be regarded as a grade 4 heavenly material and earthly treasure.
It was already a leap in quality.
However, it was still not enough. According to the crab puppet and the description in the remnant of the heavenly and earth puppet mystic scripture, the most successful performance of the ordinary ore was to be used to refine the “grade 5” and “grade 6” puppets.
In “Beyond the Heavens,” the number of cultivation stages was even higher and even overlapped with some of the ones in the Nine Desolations, the upper realm, and the immortal realm. In this case, Fang Jinyu used numbers to differentiate the various cultivation stages in “Beyond the Heavens.”
The first stage in “Beyond the Heavens” was the Qi Condensation stage.
Afterward, it increased in turn.
The fifth and sixth stages were equivalent to the great Core Formation stage cultivators in the cultivation systems of the Nine Desolations, the upper realm, and the immortal realm.
Fang Jinyu looked at the rough outline of the “synthetic material” a few more times, then thought about it carefully. After confirming the problem, he waved his hand and summoned a puppet to bring it away.
At the same time, Fang Jinyu shot out a stream of inner energy to get the other puppets to start refining new “synthetic materials.”
Fang Jinyu’s cultivation of refining puppets was originally extraordinary. Now that he had obtained the remnant of the heavenly and earth puppet mystic scripture, his puppet refining skills naturally improved.
In the Nine Desolations, if Fang Jinyu claimed to be number two in refining puppets, no one dared claim to be the champion.
Apart from not having self-consciousness and being able to cultivate, the puppets Fang Jinyu refined had already reached a level that was comparable to cultivators of the same level.
Moreover, because many Foundation Establishment stage puppets held superior-grade spirit tools, their combat strength was even higher than that of the immortal sect’s Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.
Every ten Foundation Establishment stage puppets could even form an array formation to fight against the great Core Formation stage cultivators.
Although they could only fight against early-stage Core Formation cultivators, one could see how powerful the puppets were. It was because it wasn’t a simple, temporary fight, but a desperate fight!
It was the result of a few Core Formation stage cultivators from the Tianling Sect who were eager to try it.
As for the Tianling Sect’s Core Formation stage cultivators, although most of them didn’t have high-graded cores and only formed cores around grade 7, their combat strength wasn’t bad because they cultivated high-tier spells.
One of them even had a magic treasure.
Fang Jinyu was proficient in refining spirit tools, so he refined all the half-magic treasures that were taken out halfway through nurturing into a magic treasure of a magic domain.
Although the magic treasures required a lot of effort to refine, in terms of power, they were far inferior to the lotus lamp that Fang Jinyu had given to a certain gourd.
But no matter what, it was still a magic treasure!
Therefore, ever since Fang Jinyu placed them in the sect’s treasure vault and allowed them to be exchanged by the sect’s disciples with their merit points, the Tianling Sect’s Core Formation stage cultivators were naturally extremely excited.
The Core Formation stage cultivator with a grade 7 core who had exchanged for the magic treasure had almost emptied his entire family’s collection. He had even lent a large sum of money to obtain the magic treasure.
Even so, the cultivator and his family thought that they had greatly profited!
It also made the number of Core Formation stage foreign masters in the Tianling Sect increase over the years. Although Fang Jinyu had killed many Core Formation stage and Nascent Soul stage cultivators who had obeyed the desolate forbidden land’s Incarnation stage lord cultivator, he had only killed two of them. Fang Jinyu didn’t go to the Desolate Immortal, and some who obeyed the Incarnation stage “hair man” had escaped. Therefore, there were still many Core Formation stage and Nascent Soul stage cultivators in the Nine Desolations.
However, it was also because of this that the original major families in the Nine Desolations had been scattered over the years.
After all, no matter how much rogue cultivators wanted to obtain resources, they rarely attacked immortal cultivation aristocratic families or thought of exterminating their families. Most rogue cultivators only wanted to occupy the resources of some cultivation families.
Some cultivators of the Nine Desolations cultivated the path of slaughter as well, but because its inheritance had been lost long ago, all cultivators who had chosen the path of slaughter died very quickly.
Only a few of them lived past two or three years.
Therefore, although many people liked to fight, there weren’t many who would simply fight to the death just because of a disagreement.
The most important thing on the path of immortal cultivation was cultivation!
On the other side, the puppet in Fang Jinyu’s hand began to work, and Sect Leader Qin came over.
Sect Leader Qin had been the acting sect leader before. Before Fang Jinyu returned to the Nine Desolations, the position of Tianling Sect Leader had always been available. He had always been addressed as the acting sect leader. However, Fang Jinyu saw that he had done a good job. In addition, his way of taking office was a little similar to that of his time. They were both products of the major families’ dissatisfaction with each other, so Fang Jinyu helped him to become the “real” sect leader.
It made Sect Leader Qin extremely grateful to Fang Jinyu.
The number of spirit stones, spirit herbs, and other resources that the acting sect leader of the Tianling Sect could obtain was only one-third of the Tianling Sect Leader. Fang Jinyu, who was a Core Formation stage cultivator at that time, didn’t even care about it. However, they were enough to make a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator envious and excited!
Moreover, Sect Leader Qin still had to support his family.
“Greetings, Grandmaster. Grandmaster, there are three more days before the land of refining the heavenly elixir opens. Are the types and quantities of elixirs to be refined the same as before?” Sect Leader Qin knew Fang Jinyu’s personality, so he bowed and went straight to the point.
“The land of refining the heavenly elixir?”
Fang Jinyu thought about it and remembered that it was the most special place in the Nine Desolations.
It opens once every hundred years.
Every time it appeared, it could help the various factions in the Nine Desolations refine large amounts of elixir!
It was also because of the “elixir production line” that the major sects of the Nine Desolations rarely respected alchemists. Unless one could break through their limits and become a Holy Alchemist.
After all, even if an ordinary alchemist refined elixirs for a hundred years, they wouldn’t be able to refine as many elixirs as the land of refining the heavenly elixir.
“Revise it appropriately.”
Fang Jinyu said after thinking for a moment. Afterward, he said, “This time, I’ll go with you.”
It was because Fang Jinyu had never seen the “elixir production line.” Even now, he still couldn’t figure out the reason for the changes he had experienced in the Lightning Territory. That was why Fang Jinyu wanted to go to the most special place in the Nine Desolations to see if he could get some clues.
After all, the only thing in the entire Nine Desolations that could be compared to the change he had experienced in the Lightning Territory was the “elixir production line” that was opened once every hundred years.
“Yes, Grandmaster!”
Sect Leader Qin responded and went to make preparations. Fang Jinyu had said that it was appropriate to make changes, but how to change the number and types of elixirs was a problem that needed to be studied carefully.
Three days passed quickly. Fang Jinyu, who was checking the “synthetic materials,” suddenly looked up at the sky.
