Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

Jinhua.

"Although this 'Zhong Miao' could not be considered as carrying thorns to apologize, it is still a great blessing."

"But it can be considered an apology."

"Such a great opportunity, if you don't take it, do you really not want to be the head of this pavilion?"

Walking on Purple Smoke Peak, Crimson Flame Heavenly Lord inquired of Golden Flower Heavenly Lord.

The two are now considered fellow disciples.

Only the Crimson Heavenly Lord could ask such a question.

In the eyes of the Crimson Heavenly Lord, Jin Hua was merely using this opportunity to give these Heavenly Lords of the Divine Weapon Pavilion a warning.

The position of the final leader must not fall into the wrong hands.

"Senior brother."

"Even you couldn't see through my true thoughts?"

A smile appeared on Jin Hua Tianjun's face as he asked in return.

"Don't keep me in suspense."

"Crimson Heavenly Lord said with a sneer."

Even he didn't understand Jin Hua Tianjun's actions.

"actually."

"I really don't want to be the Pavilion Master."

The Heavenly Lord of Jinhua replied leisurely.

"what?"

"Now, the Divine Weapon Pavilion is finally showing signs of improvement."

"Why did you suddenly quit your position as the sect leader?"

"Have you forgotten the promise you made to your master?"

"I ask in confusion," said the Crimson Heavenly Lord.

Their master's only wish was to restore the Divine Weapon Pavilion to its former glory.

Now that Zhang Yan is an unparalleled genius, the Divine Weapon Pavilion has received a wealth of resources and is in dire need of rebuilding.

As a result, the Heavenly Lord of Jinhua refused to comply.

Isn't this chaos?

Moreover, Crimson Heavenly Lord knew how much his junior brother had sacrificed for the Divine Weapon Pavilion over the years.

"I haven't forgotten."

The master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion shook his head and continued.

"However, I feel that I am indeed not suitable to serve as the head of this pavilion."

"My idea is to take this opportunity to appoint Xiao Yan as the head of the pavilion."

Upon hearing this, Crimson Flame Heavenly Lord suddenly understood.

"So you had this other plan in mind."

Crimson Heavenly Lord chuckled in a low voice.

According to the opinions of the Heavenly Lords, Zhang Yan needs to reach at least the True Self Realm cultivation level to succeed as Pavilion Master.

Even if Zhang Yan's cultivation speed is fast.

It will take at least several hundred years.

But the master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion couldn't wait that long.

This time, he found an excuse to step down as the head of the pavilion.

The Heavenly Lord of All Wonders and others, having tried to persuade him repeatedly to no avail, must have been extremely anxious and distressed.

Other Heavenly Lords are not capable of shouldering great responsibilities, and the position of Pavilion Master cannot remain vacant for too long.

When the time comes...

If the Heavenly Lord of Jinhua promotes Zhang Yan, it will be a natural progression for Zhang Yan to become the Pavilion Master.

However, the Heavenly Lord of Jinhua also knew this.

The Pavilion Master is very busy, which will delay Zhang Yan's cultivation progress.

Therefore, when the time comes, the Heavenly Lord of Jinhua can also help Zhang Yan with practical matters.

The Divine Weapon Pavilion is still operating normally, but the Pavilion Master has now become Zhang Yan.

"This is you."

"They gave all the benefits to that kid."

"You'll have to take the blame for the rest."

"The Crimson Heavenly Lord sighed."

"I am the master."

"That's all we can do to help him."

The master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion shook his head and said calmly.

……

time flies.

The Heavenly Lords of the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

Every now and then, I would come to Ziyan Peak to seek out the Heavenly Lord of Jinhua.

If you can't find the Heavenly Lord of Jinhua, then come find Zhang Yan.

However, Zhang Yan used the excuse of refining a fifth-order magic weapon to stay indoors and not come out.

This left all the Heavenly Kings at a loss.

Inside the weapon-refining hall of Ziyan Peak.

Zhang Yan and Qingluan sat cross-legged in front of the alchemy furnace.

After successfully forging a fifth-tier "Azure Edge" sword last time, Zhang Yan continued to forge fifth-tier spirit swords.

But the second attempt failed.

This is the third time. The spiritual fire of heaven and earth flickers inside the furnace, but Zhang Yan's brows are tightly furrowed.

"Even Master Lian refined a fifth-tier magic weapon."

"The success rate is less than 30%."

"It's normal for you to have some shortcomings."

Qingluan comforted her gently.

"I know."

Zhang Yan smiled and replied.

During this time, Zhang Yan was refining weapons, and Qingluan was always by his side. He lacked nothing and was carefree every day.

However, the pregnancy was already starting to show in her womb.

"I'm tired today too."

"Go to the side hall to recuperate."

Zhang Yan squeezed Qingluan's fair hand and said with concern.

"Ah."

Qingluan did not insist and got up to go to the side hall.

After all, she was refining a fifth-tier magic weapon, so the spiritual fire of heaven and earth would more or less affect her.

Therefore, she only spent a few hours with Zhang Yan each day.

He spent the rest of his time recuperating in the side hall.

Below Purple Smoke Peak, several eighth-order spiritual veins beneath the Divine Weapon Pavilion have now been connected.

Zhang Yan's bloodline received the most superior nourishment in the entire cultivation world even before he was born.

"Perhaps from the moment of birth."

"You can directly establish your foundation."

Zhang Yan thought to himself.

The magical artifacts produced in this batch are extremely unstable.

Zhang Yan quickly turned his attention back to the furnace.

But during this period of time.

He had a new idea.

His weapon-forging skills were basically inherited from the master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

It was more than enough when I was a fourth-tier weapon refiner.

But now, even if he does everything perfectly, he can only achieve a success rate of 30%, at most the same as the Master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

So he had a new idea.

I have an equipment slot.

"As long as I obtain the alchemist's furnace."

"Then you can fully comprehend their weapon-forging techniques."

"If I could borrow all the furnaces and cauldrons of all the fifth-tier weapon refiners in the Divine Weapon Pavilion."

"I will be able to learn all of their weapon-forging techniques."

"At that time, my weapon-refining skills may even surpass my master's!"

Zhang Yan thought to himself.

He was merely using the furnace; it wouldn't have much impact on the fifth-tier weapon refiners.

However, his improved weapon-refining skills will bring real benefits to the entire Divine Weapon Pavilion.

With this idea.

Zhang Yan became increasingly expectant.

"cough!"

At this moment, Zhang Yan's magical power suddenly broke down again.

hum!
The spiritual fire within the furnace went out of control and instantly devoured the spiritual materials being smelted.

All the power of heaven and earth that had been integrated before was wasted.

The spiritual material fused from these fifth-tier spiritual materials can only be used to refine fourth-tier magic weapons.

"The Dao injury of the Nascent Soul stage."

"There is still no improvement."

Zhang Yan withdrew his magic power, his expression somewhat grim.

Half a year has passed, and of his nascent soul, only the Nine-Sided Lotus Platform has recovered.

The three-colored spirit ring remained dim and without luster.

Even so, he remains a revered Nine-Turn Nascent Soul cultivator.

However, for him, giving up the Tricolor Spirit Ring was simply unacceptable.

Without the Tricolor Spirit Ring, his combat power would definitely plummet.

Even those at the mid-stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm are no match for them.

"Xiao Yan."

The figure of Jin Hua Tianjun appeared outside the weapon-refining hall.

"Master."

Zhang Yan responded.

"Your injury..."

Jin Hua Tianjun immediately saw through Zhang Yan's situation.

"It's best to focus on recovering from the injury."

"With a master here, the pavilion doesn't need another fifth-tier weapon refiner like you."

The Heavenly Lord of Jinhua walked over and sighed.

Zhang Yan wants to refine a fifth-order magic weapon.

Because of insufficient cultivation, it is inevitable that the nascent soul will be injured.

To compromise one's own foundation in order to refine magical treasures is to put the cart before the horse.

That's why the Master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion said that. "Thank you, Master."

"I just want to gain some practical experience."

Zhang Yan replied.

After failing the second and third attempts, he was exhausted and decided not to try a fourth time.

"Master."

"I have an idea."

"I want to observe the veteran fifth-tier weapon refiners in the pavilion refining weapons."

"Borrowing their furnace again might be of some help to me."

Zhang Yan then presented his idea.

"Borrow those old things' furnaces?"

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Lord of Jinhua's expression changed.

Zhang Yan's request was not excessive.

As long as it helps him improve his weapon-forging skills, that's a good thing.

However, he is no longer the Pavilion Master, and if he makes such a request again, those Heavenly Lords will definitely take the opportunity to make demands.

"Since Xiao Yan has a request."

"It's just in time for him to succeed as the Pavilion Master."

"At that time, we can let him bring it up himself."

Jin Hua Tianjun thought to himself.

"Xiao Yan."

"I've made a note of this."

"But for now, you should focus on recovering."

The Heavenly Lord of Jinhua replied.

He only told the Crimson Flame Heavenly Lord about his plan.

If Zhang Yan had known beforehand, he most likely wouldn't have agreed, so he had no choice but to keep it from Zhang Yan.

"Junior brother."

"Young Master."

"The Lord of Qingyun has come to pay his respects."

At this moment, the voice of the Crimson Flame Heavenly Lord came from outside the weapon-refining hall.

"The Daoist Master of Qingyun?"

The master and apprentice looked at each other in bewilderment.

The Qingyun Dao Sect and the Divine Weapon Pavilion are extremely far apart, so the sudden visit of the Qingyun Dao Master is quite a rare occasion.

"Let her in."

After pondering for a moment, Jin Hua Tianjun spoke.

"Pavilion Master."

"Young Master Zhang."

The figure of the Azure Cloud Dao Master appeared in the weapon refining hall, and his ethereal voice spread out.

To Zhang Yan's surprise, there was a beautiful figure beside the Qingyun Dao Master.

Xia Yubing wore a light blue dress with a plain white silk ribbon tied around her waist, which accentuated her slender waist.

Her pretty face was radiant and captivating, with exquisite eyebrows and eyes that sparkled with life.

"Greetings, Master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion."

"Greetings, Young Master Zhang."

Xia Yubing greeted the two of them.

After returning the greeting, the master and disciple noticed the furnace in front of Zhang Yan.

Although the spiritual fire within had begun to dissipate.

However, the two still sensed the faint aura of a fifth-tier magic weapon within it.

"So the Pavilion Master is refining a fifth-tier magic weapon."

The Qingyun Daoist Master looked at the furnace and said politely.

"This magical artifact was not made by me."

"It was refined by my disciple."

Jin Hua Tianjun shook his head in reply.

"Was it refined by Young Master Zhang?"

Upon hearing this, both the Qingyun Dao Master and Xia Yubing were taken aback.

The master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion is renowned as a sixth-tier weapon refiner and is considered the number one weapon refiner among the five major immortal sects.

It's not unusual to forge a fifth-tier magic weapon.

However, it's a different story when Zhang Yan refines fifth-tier magic weapons.

"Young Master Zhang."

"It's been almost two years since I last saw you, and you've already begun to comprehend the fifth-order weapon-refining technique."

Xia Yubing's eyes were filled with astonishment.

She and Zhang Yan had become somewhat acquainted because of the Five Sects Competition.

But she only knew that Zhang Yan's talent in cultivation was unparalleled in the cultivation world, and she did not know that Zhang Yan was also unmatched in the art of weapon crafting.

He was not even three hundred years old when he began to refine fifth-order magic weapons.

Although it was not successfully refined.

However, given Xia Yubing's perspective, it's clear that Zhang Yan can at least complete most of the refining process.

Having reached this point, they have surpassed the fourth-tier weapon refiner and are only one step away from the fifth tier.

"Congratulations, Pavilion Master."

"To find such an outstanding disciple as Young Master Zhang."

The Qingyun Dao Master also praised it.

"This magical artifact."

"Although the refining failed."

"But my disciple has already successfully forged a fifth-order spirit sword."

"He is now a genuine fifth-tier weapon refiner."

Jin Hua Tianjun glanced at the master and disciple and said smugly.

It was before.

He had already started showing off the fifth-tier magic weapon that Zhang Yan had refined.

However, having experienced ups and downs, his personality is now much more stable.

It's just a fifth-tier magic weapon, nothing special.

These words struck Xia Yubing and her apprentice like a thunderclap from a clear sky, causing them to be shaken to their core!
He is about to become a fifth-tier weapon refiner.

He has already become a fifth-order weapon refiner.

This is a completely different concept.

Especially considering Zhang Yan's young age, he has a very promising future!
The reason why the Master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion holds such a high position is because he is the strongest weapon refiner in the cultivation world today.

And following this trend...

I fear that within a thousand years, Zhang Yan will be able to take his place!
When the time comes, if the Qingyun Dao Sect wants to refine high-level magic weapons, they will inevitably need Zhang Yan's help.

"We must never offend Zhang Yan."

The master and apprentice shared the same idea.

Xia Yubing, in particular, had her eyes fixed on Zhang Yan with a look of admiration.

"Master of Qingyun Dao".

What brings you here today?

"Jin Hua Tianjun asked calmly."

Previously, Daoist Qingyun had interfered in the affairs of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, and he had already settled accounts with Lord Zhongmiao.

As for the Lord of Qingyun, he is, after all, the master of a major immortal sect.

This matter is not serious enough to cause the two major immortal sects to break off relations.

However, the Heavenly Lord of Jinhua did not give the Daoist Master of Qingyun a kind look.

"This is why we have come here."

"I came here specifically to congratulate Young Master Zhang on his awakening."

The Qingyun Dao Master replied.

His tone became noticeably more enthusiastic.

"Yu Bing".

The Qingyun Dao Master said something to Xia Yubing.

"Young Master Zhang."

"This is a small token of my appreciation from the Qingyun Dao Sect."

Xia Yubing walked lightly to Zhang Yan, holding a storage bag in her fair and well-proportioned hands.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Xia and Daoist Qingyun."

Zhang Yan accepted the storage bag without hesitation.

"Pavilion Master."

"Judging from Young Master Zhang's magical power, it seems that it is not functioning smoothly."

"Are there any remaining injuries?"

The Qingyun Dao Master's gaze was intense as he suddenly asked a question.

She was also a supreme expert in the eighth realm, and Zhang Yan's situation could not be hidden from her eyes.

"We humbly request that the Daoist Master investigate."

Although the Heavenly Lord of Jinhua was not very willing, he had no choice but to ask the Daoist Master of Qingyun to help for Zhang Yan's sake.

The Qingyun Dao Master walked up to Zhang Yan and pointed a finger at his palm.

She already knew about Zhang Yan's tenth-stage Nascent Soul.

Therefore, he is very familiar with Zhang Yan's situation.

This investigation revealed the anomaly.

"Young Master Zhang's spirit ring."

"It has suffered a severe blow, is almost wiped out, and is very likely to fall from its former status."

The Daoist Master of Qingyun withdrew his finger and spoke slowly.

"Sure enough."

The Heavenly Lord of Jinhua sighed inwardly.

"but."

"I happen to have a method that might be able to reshape the spirit ring for the young master."

The Qingyun Daoist then changed the subject, revealing news that delighted Jinhua Tianjun and Zhang Yan.

"Please inform us, Daoist Master."

The Heavenly Lord of Jinhua looked delighted and made his request.

It would be wonderful if Zhang Yan could rebuild his tenth-stage Nascent Soul.

Compared to that, his face is nothing.

"There's nothing I can do about it right now."

"However, recently, an ancient secret realm has appeared in my Qingyun Dao Sect."

"Our sect's experts found some fragments about the Tenth-Rank Nascent Soul within it."

"If we enter the ancient secret realm, it might help the young master to reshape his nascent soul."

The Qingyun Dao Master replied.

In order to reshape his Nascent Soul, Zhang Yan obtained the consent of the Golden Flower Heavenly Lord and prepared to travel to the Qionglin Great World where the Qingyun Dao Sect was located. (End of this chapter)
