Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

Master Tianyun let out a cold laugh as he looked at the old man of ten thousand corpses. Under other circumstances, he would definitely have fought with the old ghost of ten thousand corpses, but he had no such intention now.

"These are three Yin Sha Spirit-Slaying Blades that Lu Cheng'an forged over the past three years. Take a look at them first!"

Master Tianyun didn't say much, but instead took out the three Yin Sha Spirit-Slaying Blades that Lu Cheng'an had forged.

After the old man of ten thousand corpses temporarily shut his mouth, he let out a cold snort and quickly took the three Yin Sha Spirit-Slaying Blades into his hands.

A moment later, his expression changed several times, and he said in a deep voice, "Are you sure these were all made by Lu Cheng'an?"

Although the Yin Sha Spirit-Slaying Blade is a low-grade fifth-order magic weapon, it still requires a high level of crafting skill to forge a high-quality one.

Of the three, the superior Yin Sha Zhan Ling Flying Knife requires profound weapon-forging skills to craft, while the worst quality one was clearly made by a beginner.

Now that Old Ghost Tianyun is saying that these three swords were all forged by Lu Cheng'an over the past three years, he naturally doesn't want to believe it.

"Do you think I'm as stupid as you to lie to you about this? What good would it do me to lie to you? What is there about you that I would lie to!"

Master Tianyun spoke up lightly: "I have said everything I need to say. If you agree, provide the materials. Otherwise, leave now. But don't even think about asking Lu Cheng'an to refine the Yin Gathering Pool and the Golden Mother Yuan Plate in the future. Even if Lu Cheng'an agrees, I will stop him!"

The Old Man of Ten Thousand Corpses ignored the Venerable Tianyun. He frowned, thought seriously for a moment, and then said in a deep voice, "I will trust you this time, you old ghost. This is the insight left by my senior from the Heavenly Corpse Sect when he was refining the Yin Gathering Pool, and there are also two sets of materials for refining the Yin Gathering Pool."

“Your Yin Hua Sect needs to provide at least two sets of materials. If Lu Cheng’an fails to refine all four sets of materials, then I will temporarily give up on having Lu Cheng’an refine the Yin Gathering Pool!”

A complete set of materials for refining the Yin Gathering Pool is very valuable, costing nearly ten thousand spirit pearls.

Both the Yin Hua Sect and the Tian Shi Sect can afford such losses; however, some materials are extremely rare and very difficult to collect.

If Lu Cheng'an fails to refine all four materials, the Ten Thousand Corpses Elder feels it will be a complete waste, and he will no longer go crazy with Tianyun Old Ghost.

“I believe in Lu Cheng’an’s abilities. Even if these four attempts fail, he will definitely succeed in refining the fifth one. If you withdraw halfway, I will stop Lu Cheng’an from helping your Heavenly Corpse Sect refine the Yin Gathering Pool!”

Master Tianyun smiled faintly. He was simply trying to provoke the Old Ghost of Ten Thousand Corpses, as such opportunities were rare.

He believed in Lu Cheng'an's abilities; he was certain Lu Cheng'an could use these four materials to refine the Yin Gathering Pool.

The Old Man of Ten Thousand Corpses did not engage in further verbal sparring with the Venerable Tianyun. After letting out a cold snort, he left the Yinhua Sect directly.

After the Elder of Ten Thousand Corpses left, Master Tianyun handed over the weapon-refining insights and materials that the Elder of Ten Thousand Corpses had sent to Lu Cheng'an, and also provided him with a supplementary set of materials.

In the cave.

Lu Cheng'an sat cross-legged. After sensing the four materials for refining the Yin Gathering Pool in his storage ring, he couldn't help but sigh softly.

He clearly understood what Master Tianyun meant. He had four chances to refine it. If he failed all four times, then his cooperation with Yin Hua Sect and Tian Shi Sect might come to an end.

"Master Tianyun really trusts me!"

Lu Cheng'an sighed softly, then his mind once again became immersed in the insights he gained from refining the weapon in his hands.

The Gathering Yin Pool is very difficult to refine, and the materials used are also quite expensive, so Lu Cheng'an was not in a hurry to refine it.

He spent a long time studying the method of refining the Yin Gathering Pool, as well as the insights on weapon refining left by his predecessors, and constantly deduced the method of refining the Yin Gathering Pool in his mind.

Time flies, and six years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The cultivators guarding Jinding Mountain have already been rotated once. The Elder of Ten Thousand Corpses and the Venerable Tianyun had already spoken to the Red Cherry Sovereign about this matter, and their two sects were willing to hand over Jinding Mountain to Lu Cheng'an for guarding.

During the time that Lu Cheng'an is not returning, the two sects will take his place at Jin Ding Mountain to prevent the demonic cultivators of Qian Yuan Prefecture from retaking Jin Ding Mountain.

When the Elder of Ten Thousand Corpses and the Venerable Tianyun spoke to Hongying about this matter, Hongying Yuanjun immediately guessed what kind of deal they had made with Lu Cheng'an.

Hongying Yuanjun did not ask the two people, because she knew that they would definitely not tell her the real reason.

The fact that the Yin Hua Sect and the other two sects were willing to guard Jin Ding Mountain was not a bad thing for the Yu Ling Sect. It would allow the Yu Ling Sect to save a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. Therefore, Hong Ying Yuan Jun quickly agreed to the requests of Tian Yun Shang Ren and Wan Shi Lao Ren.

As for what kind of deal existed between these two groups and Lu Cheng'an, she planned to have the sect's spies investigate privately.

Lu Cheng'an was unaware of what was happening outside. For the past six years, he had been studying the method of refining the Yin Gathering Pool and finally had enough confidence to refine it.

“Blindly studying is no longer useful. The Heavenly Corpse Sect and the Yin Hua Sect gave me a total of four chances. Even if I failed the first two times, it doesn’t matter. At least I can accumulate experience.”

After making his decision, Lu Cheng'an didn't waste any more time. He took out the refining furnace and the materials for refining the Yin Gathering Pool one by one and began refining the Yin Gathering Pool directly.

The Yin Gathering Pool consists of four parts, each of which is equivalent to crafting a low-grade fifth-order magic weapon, and it is a magic weapon with considerable difficulty.

For the past six years, Lu Cheng'an has been studying the method of refining the Yin Gathering Pool, and his weapon-refining skills have greatly improved.

Although the components of the Yin Gathering Pool are not easy to refine, he is confident that he can successfully refine these four components.

After two years of work, Lu Cheng'an successfully refined the four components of the Yin Gathering Pool.

"These four components are just like the Yin Sha Spirit-Slaying Blade I originally forged. Although they were successfully forged, their quality is too poor!"

After taking out all four parts and checking them again, Lu Cheng'an couldn't help but let out a helpless sigh.

The difficulty of the Gathering Yin Pool lies not in the crafting of these four components, but in the final fusion of them into one.

This requires that the quality of the four components refined in the early stages be very good; otherwise, the refining process is very likely to fail.

"Just fuse it directly. As for how far it can be fused, that's up to luck!"

After considering it for a while, Lu Cheng'an put the four parts into the refining furnace at the same time.

He then pushed the Pure Yang Heavenly Fire to its limit and quickly cast an extremely complex fusion seal.

Refining the components of the Yin Gathering Pool was extremely time-consuming, but Lu Cheng'an stopped after a year and a month because he had failed to refine them.

This failure was within Lu Cheng'an's expectations, so he was not particularly disappointed.

After spending three months summarizing the lessons learned from his first failed attempt, he quickly began his second attempt. The second attempt showed significant improvement over the first, although it still ended in failure, but he had successfully completed the fusion process to its final stage.

This time, Lu Cheng'an spent another three months summarizing. When he started the third refining process, he was full of confidence. He believed that he would definitely be able to successfully refine the Yin Gathering Pool on his third attempt.

As Lu Cheng'an had expected, he successfully refined the fifth-grade low-level magic treasure, the Yin Gathering Pool, after four years and five months.

After successfully crafting the Yin Gathering Pool, his weapon-refining skills improved significantly, bringing him closer to becoming a mid-grade fifth-tier weapon refiner.

"First, let's send this message to Master Tianyun; he's probably going crazy with anticipation!"

After carefully inspecting the successfully refined Yin Gathering Pool, Lu Cheng'an stored it in his storage ring and then sent a message to Master Tianyun.

Lu Cheng'an did not rush to find Master Tianyun. Instead, he meditated and recovered in his cave, while also summarizing the gains from this successful refining.

This time, Lu Cheng'an did indeed refine the Yin Gathering Pool, but the quality of the Yin Gathering Pool was not good, even worse than the Yin Sha Spirit Slaying Blade he refined for the first time.

This is mainly because the refining process of the Yin Gathering Pool is too complicated. Even if a tiny problem occurs during the refining process, by the time the refining is finished, these small problems will accumulate and become big problems. This is the main reason why the quality of the Yin Gathering Pool is poor.

If Lu Cheng'an wants to solve this problem, he can only continue to refine the Yin Gathering Pool and constantly summarize and refine his methods in order to continuously improve the quality of the Yin Gathering Pools he refines.

"I knew I hadn't misjudged Lu Cheng'an. He really did manage to successfully refine the Yin Gathering Pool in such a short time!"

Upon seeing Lu Cheng'an's message, Master Tianyun's face immediately lit up with excitement.

Lu Cheng'an has spent nearly twenty years refining the Yin Gathering Pool.

This short period of time was extremely short in the eyes of Master Tianyun, but in fact he had already prepared for what Lu Chengan would spend decades on.

"It's a pity that Lu Cheng'an is currently in seclusion summarizing his experience, otherwise I really want to see what the Yin Gathering Pool he refined looks like!"

"Immediately send a message to the Corpse Demon King and see his reaction!"

A pleased smile appeared on Tianyun Shangren's face. He couldn't let him wait anxiously alone; he wanted to bring Wan Shi Lao Gui along.

After seeing the message from Master Tianyun, the Old Man of Ten Thousand Corpses reacted in the same way as Master Tianyun.

Without wasting any time, he went directly to Yin Hua Sect after receiving the message from Master Tianyun.

"Are you telling me the truth or not? You know how difficult it is to refine the Yin Gathering Pool. How much time has passed? Can Lu Cheng'an really refine the Yin Gathering Pool?"

The Old Man of Ten Thousand Corpses looked at Master Tianyun with suspicion, still unable to believe that Lu Cheng'an could refine the Yin Gathering Pool in such a short time.

"Why are you yelling at me? This is what Lu Cheng'an told me. He's currently in seclusion in his cave, summarizing his experiences. If you don't believe me, I can tell you the location of Lu Cheng'an's seclusion cave. You can go and ask him directly!" Master Tianyun said with a smile.

He hoped that the Elder of Ten Thousand Corpses would ask Lu Cheng'an at this time, so that he could see the Yin Gathering Pool that Lu Cheng'an had refined in advance.

It can also make Lu Cheng'an feel disgusted with the Ten Thousand Corpses Elder, and eventually refuse to help the Heavenly Corpse Sect refine the Yin Gathering Pool and the Golden Mother Yuan Plate.

The old man of ten thousand corpses let out a cold snort. He knew very well what evil scheme Tianyun the old ghost was plotting.

If Lu Cheng'an can refine the Yin Gathering Pool so quickly, then his seclusion this time certainly won't last too long. He can wait patiently.

Lu Cheng'an had no idea what Tianyun Shangren and the Ten Thousand Corpses Elder were thinking. He continued to calmly adjust, recover, and summarize in his cave.

Time flies, and more than two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

At this point, Lu Cheng'an finally ended his seclusion.

After sending a message to Master Tianyun, he headed directly towards Master Tianyun's cave.

"How have you been resting lately, Fellow Daoist Lu? You don't need to rush to come out; we're not in a hurry!" Venerable Tianyun said with a smile.

The Old Man of Ten Thousand Corpses couldn't stand Tianyun Shangren's behavior. They had been waiting for this long time and were almost going crazy. What was he doing putting on airs in front of Lu Cheng'an?

However, the Old Man of Ten Thousand Corpses was not familiar with Lu Cheng'an. After greeting Lu Cheng'an, he did not say anything more.

"Thank you for your concern, Sect Master. I have fully recovered!"

Lu Cheng'an smiled faintly, then took the Yin Gathering Pool out of his storage ring.

"This is the first Yin Gathering Pool I successfully crafted, but its quality is rather poor."

The moment Lu Cheng'an took the Yin Gathering Pool out of his storage ring, it immediately attracted the attention of Tianyun Shangren and Wanshi Laoren.

Even though this Yin-gathering pool is of relatively poor quality, it is still a genuine Yin-gathering pool.

Lu Cheng'an really managed to refine the Yin Gathering Pool in such a short time!
"Fellow Daoist Lu is too modest. It is already very impressive that you were able to refine the Yin Gathering Pool in such a short time."

"The quality of this Yin Gathering Pool isn't particularly bad, and I have faith in your crafting skills. The quality of the next Yin Gathering Pool you forge will definitely be greatly improved!"

Master Tianyun praised it repeatedly, showing no sign of dissatisfaction.

These were his heartfelt words, and he was truly very satisfied!
As long as their Yin Hua Sect is bound to Lu Cheng'an, they will no longer need to worry about the refining of the Yin Gathering Pool and the Seven Elements Nourishing Spirit Flag.

However, Lu Cheng'an was going to Jin Ding Mountain next, which was really not a good place. He now regretted encouraging Lu Cheng'an to go to Jin Ding Mountain.

"The sect leader is right. After summarizing my experience this time, I think the quality of the Yin Gathering Pool I refine next time will definitely be improved."

Lu Cheng'an smiled faintly and said, "There is one of those four materials left. I will start the fourth refining process later."

"Fellow Daoist Lu, you said there's one of those four materials left. Is this Yin Gathering Pool actually the result of your third refinement?" the Ten Thousand Corpses Elder asked in surprise.

During this time, he and Tianyun Laogui had been speculating whether there were any of the four materials left. After discussing it, they both felt that this was Lu Chengan's fourth attempt at refining, otherwise it would have been impossible to refine the Yin Gathering Pool.

But now Lu Cheng'an is saying that there's one document left out of the four. (End of Chapter)
