Chapter 140: Chapter 140: Thousand Clouds Refinement
Translator: 549690339
At this time, all the cultivators who had teleported here saw the announcement in the sky and quietly found a place to rest and recover in silence.
Xu Gang took out two treasure mats and sat down in a spacious area.
“Eldest brother, I took a quick glance, and there are no fewer than 100,000 cultivators I saw. Can the Demon Clan in Xiangzhou continue to be suppressed?”
“From the information I got from our intelligence organization, there are more than ten esteemed ones from the top sects participating in this operation.”
“This time when we go to Shengling State to hunt demons, elder brother, follow me.’
“When it comes to the destructive power of the Dao Law and Divine Abilities,
you are more powerful.”
“But in terms of running away, ten of you can’t compare to me.” Xu Yuexian transmitted her voice to Xu Gang.
“Hmm, when we get there, I’ll listen to your commands.” Xu Gang nodded. Their master had already told them when they set off that they should listen to their younger sister once they were on the battlefield.
At this moment, Xu Yuexian suddenly noticed a Foundation Establishment Stage green youth not far away. He was sitting there alone looking somewhat bored and nervous, clearly a newly emerged greenhouse flower.
“Little kid, considering your Dao age is no more than 20 years old and you’re at the Foundation Establishment Stage, are you an Alchemist or an Artifact Refiner?” Xu Yuexian asked. In this place, Foundation Establishment cultivators were only considered auxiliary personnel—either Alchemists or Artifact Refiners.
When the youth heard someone calling him, he immediately looked up. He found Xu Gang and Xu Yuexian and instantly felt like he had found his organization. He quickly went over and sat down beside them.
“Seniors, I am an Outer Disciple of the Heavenly Artifact Sect, and this time I am opening an artifact refining workshop in the large camp for the Elders’ Points.”
At first, the youth was a little nervous, but after seeing the two kind faces, he relaxed.
“A disciple of the Heavenly Artifact Sect?”
“Which level are you: ‘Artisan’, ‘Master’, ‘Spiritual’, or ‘Artifact?” Xu Yuexian asked with interest. These were the levels designated by the Refining Master before the Heavenly Artifact Sect. It was said that disciples at the ‘Master’ level and above had the potential to become Refining Masters.
Xu Yuexian had roamed the Cultivation World for so many years, and she had come into contact with top disciples from various sects. However, she had never seen a disciple from the Heavenly Artifact Sect, only hearing about the rumors within the sect.
“Junior, my name is Yun Lian, and I am a ‘Spirit’ level disciple in our sect.” The young man answered truthfully.
“Yun Lian, good name. How come your elders don’t worry about you coming to
Shengling State as a ‘Spirit’ level disciple?” Xu Yuexian asked curiously. In the Heavenly Artifact Sect, disciples at the ‘Master’ level and above were regarded as Spiritual Treasures.
“One reason is to gain experience in the Cultivation World, and the other is to earn points to exchange for Spiritual Treasures only available from the Elders’ Association.”
“The two of you seniors must be going to the front lines to slay demons, right?
If you need to customize treasure artifacts or repair and re-refine treasure artifacts, you can find this junior.”
“This junior can give the two seniors a discount.”
When it came to artifact refining, the young man seemed to regain some confidence. This was his first time leaving the sect, and before he left, his master told him not only to observe the world with his eyes but also to make friends with a few promising cultivators who could protect and guide him in the future.
His master had said this was a necessary step for an artifact refiner. As for safety, who would harbor ill intentions towards an artifact refiner? At most, they would be cheated out of their entire wealth or emotions, but if they dared to harm a disciple of the Heavenly Artifact Sect, they would be caught and dealt with, no matter where they hid.
Xu Gang and Xu Yuexian exchanged glances, reminded of the Space Ring Xu Fan had given them before leaving, containing all kinds of treasure artifacts and elixirs. They wouldn’t have to worry about running out of treasure artifacts and elixirs even if they fought continuously for a hundred years.
At this moment, Xu Yuexian took off the Five Elements Bead bracelet she was wearing.
“Yun Lian, what level of Artifact Refiner do you think our sect would rank for someone who can refine this treasure?” Xu Yuexian asked curiously, as she had always been curious about her master’s artifact refiner ranking.
Today, she happened to meet an Artifact Refiner of the same cultivation level as Xu Fan, so she wanted to ask.
Yun Lian cautiously took the Five Elements Bead from Xu Yuexian, looking at it with full confidence. He was extremely confident when it came to magical treasures.
As soon as he took the Five Elements Bead, Yun Lian’s hands shone with spiritual light, and the Runes on the bead seemed to leak out.
On the fifteen Five-Element Beads, densely-packed Runes were engraved, with a seamless integration of Dao Rhyme, as if they were meant to be Spirit Items in this world.
“These Runes…” Yun Lian fell into shock.
Seeing the silent youth, Xu Gang and Xu Yuexian did not urge him.
It took a full hour for Yun Lian to slowly raise his head, saying in astonishment, “Is this the treasure that my master said is just one step away from being perfect?”
“Such a treasure, if found in a special qi environment, might be able to be promoted to a Dao Tool.”
“The two seniors wouldn’t use a Refining Master’s work to jokingly test a junior, right?”
“This Refining Tool senior would directly be an elder in our sect.” Yun Lian said.
There was a possibility that this Refining Tool senior might be even better than his master Yun Lian hadn’t said this out loud.
Yun Lian carefully returned the Five Elements Bead to Xu Yuexian.
“The two seniors, do you know the identity of the Refining Tool senior? If it’s possible, I would like to visit.” Yun Lian bowed and said.
“Hahaha, I’ll help you ask if there’s an opportunity.” Xu Yuexian laughed, surprised by her Master’s incredible abilities.
At this moment, a voice filled with surprise came.
“Brother Zhang Han, I didn’t expect you to actually come.”
A cultivator wearing the robe of the Thousand Spirit Sect came over, his eyes full of enthusiasm. Behind him, there were more than a dozen cultivator-like followers.
“Elder sister, who is this person? There’re no improper thoughts towards you, right?” Xu Yuexian saw Ji Muhua’s enthusiastic expression and said in a voice transmission.
“He’s just a friend who shares similar principles in the Dao.” Xu Gang said, also feeling a bit strange under Ji Muhua’s gaze.
“Oh, Big Brother, be careful. Keep your distance from him when you’re alone.”
Xu Yuexian sent a mental message.
Xu Gang nodded his head.
“It is truly a great fortune to meet you, Ji Dao-friend, here. It seems that the days of fighting in Shengling State won’t be too boring in the future.”
Seeing Ji Muhua, Xu Gang was very happy. He didn’t expect to meet her again so soon.
At this time, Ji Muhua led a group of people to sit down nearby, forming a temporary team.
Meanwhile, some scattered cultivators who came to slay demons on the battlefield began to slowly form various groups. In the Shengling State boundary battlefield, cultivators below the Integration Stage fighting on their own are just asking to die.
With everyone chatting and discovering that there was also a disciple from the Heavenly Artifact Sect, Qianyun Lian instantly became the darling of this temporary group.
“Quiet, now it’s time for the Panling Venerable to give his lecture.”
In an instant, all the cultivators in the Dragon Immortal Palace quieted down and began adjusting their conditions to welcome the upcoming lecture.
In the outer world of Feiyu, a giant flying boat was lurking.
Far away, clusters of flowing lights shuttled between the Demon Spirit World
and Feiyu Boundary.
Inside the giant flying boat, a Mahayana Period Venerable respectfully bowed to a white-robed youth, saying, “Your Excellency, shall we still wait?”
“Wait, it’s not time yet.”
“Now there are also demon clan warships watching us.”
“If the timing is not well handled and the Yu Zhou is damaged, our human race’s efforts for tens of thousands of years will be in vain.” The young man said.
In the youth’s hand appeared a mini-universe with Feiyu Boundary at its center. The giant ship was like dust lurking outside of Feiyu Boundary, and not far away was a snake-shaped flying boat waiting for an opportunity.
“Before I ascend, I must unify the two realms.”
“Demonic Clan, I’ll break one of your fingers first.”
The youth looked at the snake-shaped giant boat in his mini-universe and smiled faintly.
Over the Hundred-Thousand-Li Giant Lake, Xu Fan watched the news pushed to his communication magical weapon with an indifferent expression.
“Looking at this, it seems that the demon clan in Shengling State is not that rampant either. Why do they need so many cultivators?”
“Could it be that they want to annihilate them all at once?” Xu Fan looked at the news and said, then felt it too troublesome and waved away the news.
At this moment, Li Xingci, holding a purple mink, landed on Xu Fan’s turtle shell.
“Did you finish the replica secret regions I asked you to make?” Xu Fan looked at Li Xingci, who was holding the purple mink, and said.
He originally wanted to find a Husky to accompany Li Xingci, using the stupidity to heal his gloomy disciple, and it would be even better if he could assimilate into stupidity.
Unfortunately, there was no such species in the cultivation world, so Xu Fan had to settle for getting Li Xingci a purple mink instead.
“As per Master’s instructions, the illusions and rewards have been set up.”
“The illusions for the Nascent Soul Stage and below have been set up according to Master’s script.” Li Xingci said. He didn’t know where Xu Fan got these fantastic ideas from and was curious about all the interesting things.
At this moment, a screen unfolded in front of Xu Fan, showing the first Hidden Spirit Sect disciple participating in the trial.
“This is a female disciple; her name is Si Ruoyu, currently at the fifth level of Qi Cultivation. She possesses a talent for battle command, currently cultivating the ‘Five Elements Secret’.” Xu Fan introduced one of the disciples he paid attention to, even he was amazed by her extremely high battle command talent.
If this disciple was in the secular world, as long as there were opportunities, she would definitely become a famous female marshal.
“This is an endless challenge series.” Li Xingci began to speak, very familiar with the illusions he designed.
“How did you set up the rewards?” Xu Fan asked.
“Killing one demon beast of the same level rewards one spiritual stone. At the end of each month, the remaining rewards go down to the tenth place, with the lowest being one thousand spirit stones.” Li Xingci said.
“Quite reasonable. Now let us bet on how many demon beasts of the same level this disciple can kill.” Xu Fan said with a smile.
“If you win, I’ll allow you to continue your reincarnation and cultivation in 5 years. If I win, the period will be extended to 10 years, how about that?” Xu Fan continued to say.
“Alright, 1 bet this disciple will persist until the 100th one.” Li Xingci said with a smile.
“Then I’ll bet on 340.”
At this time, Si Ruoyu on the screen had already finished reading the rules of the replica trial.
“Interesting. With my advantages, I will definitely get first place.”
After Si Ruoyu finished speaking, a puppet barracks appeared behind her, from which five giant shield puppets, five long spear puppets, and five archer puppets emerged..
