Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

The sword is decorated with a mix of red and white.

It was now covered in cracks.

The time it was used on Wei Qian, the four directions were annihilated; its power was too great.

Even the Vermilion Bird Fire Sword itself couldn't withstand it.

If it is not repaired, the true spirit within will completely collapse the next time it is used.

"Let's give it a try first."

"A new technique for refining weapons."

Zhang Yan thought for a moment and then took out some fifth-grade spiritual materials.

There is only one Vermilion Bird Fire Sword; it can only succeed and cannot fail.

laugh!
The power of the Dharma image was poured into the furnace.

The celestial fire within was bright and dazzling, burning quietly inside the furnace.

"Compared to the Nascent Soul stage."

"Now I have complete mastery over the flames."

Zhang Yan was pleasantly surprised.

Although the magical power of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator can activate the spiritual fire of heaven and earth.

However, Zhang Yan needed to expend a great deal of mental energy to control the changes in the furnace fire.

Now, with a thought, the spiritual fire of heaven and earth will spontaneously change.

The mental and physical exertion required is almost negligible.

Thus.

The speed and success rate of weapon crafting will be greatly improved.

The surging power of the Dharma form is inexhaustible.

Zhang Yan put various spiritual materials into the furnace, and the refining speed increased more than three times compared to before.

The spiritual materials began to be smelted in the spiritual fire of heaven and earth.

During this process, Zhang Yan began to draw upon the power of heaven and earth to perform his first "ritual".

Bang!
Suddenly, a piece of blue spiritual material burst open inside the furnace.

Zhang Yan frowned, quickly drew spiritual fire to envelop it, and moved it out of the cauldron.

"This piece is blue and green."

"The internal structure is incomplete, which makes the 'ritual' incomplete, but fortunately it does not affect the other spiritual materials."

Zhang Yan said with relief.

It's still in the smelting stage.

The explosion of a single piece of spiritual material has little impact.

If it's the stage of spiritual material fusion, then all the spiritual materials in this batch will be ruined.

this method.

This is the weapon-refining method that Zhang Yan comprehended based on the process of the Azure Dragon Zhenmu Sword absorbing the soul of the Crimson Dragon.

The Heavenly Lord of Jinhua initiated two separate "ritual rites".

Zhang Yan went a step further, pioneering three "sacrificial rites".

What Zhang Yan just did was the first time.

All the spiritual materials were fused together, and within the furnace fire flowed the spiritual essence of heaven and earth.

Next, the fusion process will begin, and a second "ritual" will be performed.

After the first "ritual," the difficulty of introducing the power of heaven and earth for the second time was greatly reduced.

Moreover, Zhang Yan's cultivation level has been raised to the Dharma Aspect Realm.

The power of the Dharma Image suppressed the furnace, and the second ritual was successful in less than three days.

Next.

This is the final shaping stage.

The fire in the furnace flickered, and the area outside the furnace was filled with colorful lights, which was the power of heaven and earth that had been drawn in.

The spiritual materials inside the furnace are constantly changing.

This time, Zhang Yan didn't forge a flying sword, but rather a more complex spirit armor.

Qingluan already possesses a fifth-tier spirit sword.

Zhang Yan also wanted to forge a fifth-tier spirit armor for her to protect herself.

The power of heaven and earth surged into the furnace, and the third "ritual" began.

Zhang Yan was completely focused and dared not be careless in the slightest.

The success or failure of the Spirit Armor hinges on this one move.

……

The waist of Ziyan Peak.

Qingluan and Lin Qingyue sat in a waterside pavilion.

In the Envy Fish Lake below, all sorts of spirit fish swam around, vying for the spirit bait that the two fair hands above occasionally scattered.

Clouds drifted across the sky, shimmering in the rosy glow and misty haze, creating a scene of tranquility and peace.

Although the two women were brewing tea around the stove, Qingluan, with her chin resting on her hand, kept her gaze fixed on the weapon-refining hall.

"Qingluan."

"Why don't I stay here alone while you go find Junior Brother Zhang?"

Lin Qingyue looked at Qingluan, shook her head, and teased her.

"Senior sister is joking."

Qingluan withdrew her gaze, took a sip of tea, and smiled.

"The Celestial Lord of All Wonders ascends the peak."

Suddenly, a maid came to report.

"Master?"

Lin Qingyue was taken aback upon hearing this.

The Celestial Lord of All Wonders has always preferred tranquility, so why would he suddenly visit Purple Smoke Peak?
"Sister."

"Let's go and greet them."

As Qingluan spoke, she was about to get up.

"Qingluan."

"Let me do it."

Lin Qingyue stopped Qingluan and went ahead herself.

The two were master and apprentice, and were very familiar with each other.

Moreover, Qingluan is currently pregnant and is Zhang Yan's Daoist partner. In terms of status, the Heavenly Lord of Myriad Wonders would not require Qingluan to personally greet him.

soon.

The Celestial Lord of All Wonders and Lin Qingyue appeared together in the waterside pavilion.

"May I ask what brings Your Majesty here?"

After exchanging pleasantries, Qingluan asked the question calmly.

She was previously abducted by the Lord of All Wonders and taken to a small world.

Then the Lord of All Wonders came to the door to apologize, carrying thorns on his back.

This matter is now considered resolved.

However, Qingluan remained indifferent to Zhongmiao Tianjun.

This is also the second time that the Celestial Lord of All Wonders has ascended Purple Smoke Peak.

"Miss Qingluan."

"I have come here to present you with the elixir."

The Celestial Lord of All Wonders took out a palm-sized, purplish-red warm jade box from his storage magic treasure and said.

"I trouble you, Your Majesty."

"However, I have no shortage of various elixirs, so thank you for your kindness, Heavenly Lord."

Qingluan glanced at it but did not take the jade box.

Although Zhang Yan has not yet officially succeeded as the Pavilion Master.

Even the young master of the pavilion receives an extremely generous monthly allowance.

With Zhang Yan himself and a large quantity of pills, Qingluan was not lacking in pills at all.

If it weren't for the poisoning from pills, Qingluan could eat fourth-tier pills like food.

"Miss Qingluan."

"This pill is different."

"This pill was personally refined by me."

"It is called 'Ginseng and Poria Anti-Evil Pill' and is made with a fifth-grade spiritual medicine called 'Rehmannia and Poria Cocos' as the main ingredient."

"Although it is a fifth-grade pill, it can be taken by those in the Nascent Soul stage, as it has the effect of strengthening the foundation and nourishing the vital energy."

"It took me two years to collect all the medicinal herbs to refine this 'Ginseng and Poria Pill for Dispelling Calamity'."

The Lord of All Wonders explained.

She began preparing for this elixir two years ago.

All of this is for the bloodline within the Azure Phoenix's womb.

But it was only today that it was successfully refined, and not only the bloodline of the Azure Phoenix, but also the Azure Phoenix itself, are extremely important to the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

In addition, Zhang Yan returned.

Today, the Celestial Lord of All Wonders is thinking of using this fifth-grade pill to befriend the Azure Phoenix.

"Thank you, Heavenly Emperor."

Having learned the effects of the elixir, Qingluan reached out and took the jade box.

Such elixirs, capable of strengthening the body's foundation and nourishing its vital energy, are rare in today's cultivation world.

Qingluan had obtained some before, but they were all third or fourth tier.

This is the first time I've seen a fifth-order one like this.

Moreover, it was personally crafted by the Celestial Lord of All Wonders.

As for the two-year period, whether it's true or not, being able to achieve this is enough to prove the intentions of the Celestial Lord of All Wonders.

He sent out a pill.

Qingluan became much more polite to the Celestial Lords.

"Miss Qingluan."

"If we calculate the time, there are still four months left."

"The bloodline within you will soon be born."

"Among the female cultivators in the Divine Weapon Pavilion, I currently possess the highest cultivation level."

"For the sake of your safety, mother and daughter, I intend to stay at Ziyan Peak for the next period of time."

The Heavenly Lord of All Wonders revealed her purpose.

"Thank you for your concern, Heavenly Lord."

"However, at this time, we still need to wait for my husband to make the decision."

Qingluan neither refused nor directly agreed.

"nature."

The Celestial Lord of All Wonders nodded.

hum!
As the three women were talking, the power of heaven and earth gathered again.

To refine a magic weapon of the fifth rank or higher, one needs to "offer a ritual," and once the refining is complete, it will trigger unusual phenomena in the heavens and earth.

Although not as astonishing as the Azure Phoenix's reshaping of its nascent soul, it was still enough to affect an area of ​​a thousand miles.

"Junior Brother Zhang."

"You've crafted another complete fifth-tier magic weapon?"

Lin Qingyue exclaimed in surprise.

The news that Zhang Yan had become a fifth-order weapon refiner had already spread.

But fifth-tier magic treasures are not as common as cabbages.

In today's cultivation world, every fifth-tier magic weapon is priceless.

Even Lin Qingyue herself does not yet possess a fifth-tier magic weapon.

But Zhang Yan had already crafted his second fifth-tier magic weapon.

"It's not just a fifth-tier magic weapon!"

"This aura should belong to a mid-grade fifth-tier magic weapon!"

The Lord of All Wonders stared intently, and said in astonishment.

"Mid-grade fifth rank?"

Lin Qingyue gasped in shock.

Successfully crafting a mid-grade fifth-tier magic weapon already makes one a mid-grade fifth-tier weapon refiner.

It should be noted that Zhang Yan has only been a fifth-level weapon refiner for less than a year.

Now it has transformed again.

He became a mid-grade fifth-tier weapon refiner!

In contrast, Lin Qingyue has yet to even touch the threshold of fifth-order weapon crafting.

"Zhang Yan's weapon-refining skills have become increasingly refined."

Qingluan was filled with joy upon hearing the exclamations of the master and disciple.

Amidst the glow of the setting sun.

The doors to the weapon-refining hall suddenly swung open.

Using the power of his Dharma form, Zhang Yan, wearing a silver-blue spirit armor, approached the waterside pavilion.

"The Lord of All Wonders".

Zhang Yan landed in the waterside pavilion and discovered the Celestial Lord of All Wonders.

"Young Master."

"This is the mid-grade fifth-tier spirit armor you just crafted?"

When the Celestial Lord of All Wonders saw the radiant spiritual armor up close, his eyes were filled with wonder.

"good."

Zhang Yan placed the spirit armor in his hand and nodded in reply.

“Impeccable.”

"Even if your master made it, it wouldn't be any better."

"If the power of heaven and earth were even stronger, it might be possible to reach the upper-grade fifth rank!"

The Celestial Lord of All Wonders praised this magical armor highly.

Both being mid-stage fifth-tier magic weapons, spirit armor-type magic weapons are the most difficult to forge and also the most demanding of a weapon refiner's skills.

From her perspective, she couldn't find any fault with the spirit armor.

She is also one of the existing fifth-tier weapon refiners, and a peak fifth-tier weapon refiner.

But she didn't even compare herself to Zhang Yan.

Instead, they included Jin Hua Tianjun and Zhang Yan together.

Because it can be seen from this piece of spirit armor that her current weapon-refining skills are no longer as good as Zhang Yan's.

"Thank you for your praise, Lord Tianjun."

Zhang Yan replied modestly.

Then he looked at Qingluan and said with a smile:
"Luan'er".

"Keep this 'Moonlight Silver Scale Armor,' a mid-grade, fifth-tier item, for your own protection."

Qingluan smiled sweetly and accepted the spirit armor with a rosy complexion.

A mid-grade fifth-tier spirit armor.

Even Lin Qingyue didn't have one, yet she was able to get one first.

"Junior brother's feelings for Miss Qingluan are indeed sincere."

Lin Qingyue watched this scene and said enviously.

"Husband."

"Lord of All Wonders..."

After accepting the Moon-Shocking Silver Scale Armor, Qingluan told Zhang Yan about the elixir given to her by the Celestial Lord of Myriad Wonders.

"Since the Heavenly Emperor is so kind to my wife."

"Then I would rather obey your orders than be respectful."

Zhang Yan agreed to let the Celestial Lord of Myriad Wonders stay at Purple Smoke Peak.

"Luan'er".

"You should go back to the palace and rest first."

After chatting for a few minutes, Zhang Yan squeezed Qingluan's smooth palm and said considerately.

"Ah."

Qingluan readily agreed and returned to her bedchamber with Lin Qingyue.

Inside the waterside pavilion.

Only Zhang Yan and the Celestial Lord of All Wonders remained.

"Tianjun."

"I have something to ask."

Zhang Yan took a sip of tea and suddenly asked.

"Young Master, please speak."

The Lord of All Wonders remained unmoved.

"I want to ask."

"While I was unconscious."

"Has anyone I don't know ever approached me?"

Zhang Yan asked.

He learned from Ran Yijun that he possessed a demonic seed.

The spirit of the Bodhi tree with its Dao pattern also testifies to this.

Although that demon seed did not harm him.

It has already been extracted by the spirit of the Bodhi tree, but Zhang Yan still doesn't know the origin of the demon seed.

Behind every demon seed, there must be a powerful demon.

Zhang Yan needed to know the specific origin of the Demon Seed.

"Never before has it."

"Although I was confused for a moment and took Qingluan away."

"But in the small world, I have always taken good care of Miss Qingluan."

"Apart from Qingyue and me, no one else has ever had contact with Miss Qingluan."

“I can swear on that.”

"The Lord of All Wonders said solemnly."

She was unaware of the demon race's affairs and thought Zhang Yan intended to settle scores later.

"I believe in the Heavenly Emperor."

Zhang Yan's face remained calm, but his heart was far from at peace.

The Celestial Sovereign of All Wonders is at the peak of the seventh realm. If even she is no less powerful, then that demon's strength must be extraordinary.

"The spirit of the Bodhi tree said so."

"The status of the demon race is no lower than that of the gods."

"Could that demon also be a being of the Ninth Realm?"

Zhang Yan thought to himself.

With his current strength, facing such an existence would be like throwing an egg against a rock.

"My strength is still too weak."

"Luan'er and her daughter still need me, I absolutely cannot have anything happen to them."

A sense of urgent urgency welled up in Zhang Yan's heart.

"Tianjun."

"I have one more favor to ask of you."

"I would like to ask the Heavenly Lord to instruct me in the art of weapon forging, and also to borrow the Heavenly Lord's furnace and cauldron."

Zhang Yan made the request.

Although his weapon-refining skills have improved, there is still room for improvement.

With the help of the equipment slots, he can master all the weapon-refining techniques of all fifth-tier weapon refiners.

Finally, we will innovate and introduce new ideas.

This way, the efficiency is much higher than if he did it all by himself.

"of course can."

"But now, it's no longer appropriate to offer guidance."

"In the art of weapon crafting, those who have mastered it are my teachers."

"In front of the young master, I am merely thousands of years older."

The Lord of All Wonders waved his hand and said with shame.

Inside the waterside pavilion.

Zhang Yan raised his questions, which were answered by the Celestial Lord of All Wonders.

During the process of answering the question, Zhang Yan was able to offer his own interpretation.

At first, the Heavenly Lord of All Wonders could answer the questions easily, but in the end, even the Heavenly Lord of All Wonders himself only had a superficial understanding, and was even less knowledgeable than Zhang Yan.

She even learned a lot of new weapon-refining techniques from Zhang Yan's understanding.

"Young Master's talent in weapon crafting."

"It's truly enviable."

Before they knew it, two days had passed. The Heavenly Lord of All Wonders was still unable to calm his mind and couldn't help but sigh.

She only knew that Zhang Yan was exceptionally talented.

But now she realizes that she underestimated Zhang Yan.

"Thank you for your praise, Lord Tianjun."

"I beg the Heavenly Lord to lend me this furnace."

Zhang Yan said politely.

"please."

With a wave of her hand, the Celestial Sovereign of All Wonders took out a storage bracelet, inside which was her commonly used refining furnace.

"After I have understood it, I will return it immediately."

Zhang Yan left a message, took the storage bracelet, and returned to the weapon-refining hall.

He could finally use his equipment slots to gain the weapon-refining experience from the Celestial Lord of All Wonders. (End of Chapter)
