“Indeed, there is still one left. However, the Yin Gathering Pool is too difficult to refine. The quality of the Yin Gathering Pool I refine next time will definitely be improved, but the quality may not meet the requirements of the two sect leaders.” Lu Cheng’an said with a smile.

For Lu Cheng'an, refining the Yin Gathering Pool was not without its benefits. After becoming a fifth-order weapon refiner, he needed to refine a large number of fifth-order materials to create fifth-order magic weapons and treasures, thereby improving his weapon refining skills.

The Yin Hua Sect and the Heavenly Corpse Sect asked him to refine the Yin Gathering Pool, which perfectly met his needs.

Now that he has successfully crafted the Yin Gathering Pool, his weapon-refining skills have greatly improved, and he is not far from becoming a mid-grade fifth-tier weapon refiner.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, please go ahead and refine it. Our two sects still have the materials needed to refine the Yin Gathering Pool. With a few more attempts, Fellow Daoist Lu will surely be able to refine a high-quality Yin Gathering Pool."

Master Tianyun laughed heartily, then took out a storage ring and said, "I have collected all the materials that Fellow Daoist Lu asked me to gather. There are also 20,000 spirit pearls in here. Consider it as Fellow Daoist Lu's refining fee!"

Lu Cheng'an had previously asked Master Tianyun to help him collect the materials needed to refine the Divine Jade Exquisite Pagoda and other fifth-grade low-level magic treasures. The cost of these materials was deducted from the price of the three Yin Sha Spirit-Slaying Blades.

Master Tianyun had already collected all the materials, but because Lu Chengan was in seclusion in his cave refining the Yin Gathering Pool, he had no opportunity to give these materials to Lu Chengan.

The fact that Lu Cheng'an has managed to refine the Yin Gathering Pool in such a short time has shown Tianyun Shangren just how powerful Lu Cheng'an's talent for refining weapons is.

That's why he made the last-minute decision to pay Lu Cheng'an such a high refining fee.

The old man of ten thousand corpses' eyes changed, and he instantly understood what the Heavenly Cloud Master meant.

Since Lu Cheng'an was able to refine the Yin Gathering Pool, refining the Golden Mother Yuan Plate and the Seven Elements Nourishing Spirit Flag should not be difficult for him either.

If they pay Lu Cheng'an a high refining fee now in exchange for Lu Cheng'an continuing to refine these magical treasures for them in the future, they certainly won't lose out.

After all, the Gathering Yin Pool, the Golden Mother Yuan Plate, and the Seven Elements Nourishing Spirit Banner are related to the birth of Nascent Soul cultivators in their respective sects.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, that fifth-grade low-level magic weapon refining furnace and these 20,000 spirit pearls are the refining fees I'm giving you," the Elder of Ten Thousand Corpses said with a smile.

Lu Cheng'an looked at the Old Man of Ten Thousand Corpses with surprise, and then looked at Tianyun Shangren.

That fifth-grade low-level weapon is still very valuable, worth at least seven or eight thousand spirit beads. Adding those twenty thousand spirit beads, it's nearly thirty thousand spirit beads in total.

This is a very large sum of money.

The Old Man of Ten Thousand Corpses also felt a great pain in his heart, but after hearing the refining fee that Master Tianyun had offered, he felt that what he offered could not be lower than that of Master Tianyun.

Master Tianyun glanced at the Old Man of Ten Thousand Corpses, then smiled slightly at Lu Cheng'an, offering no explanation whatsoever.

The refining fee he offered was much lower than that of the Old Man of Ten Thousand Corpses, after all, Lu Cheng'an still had nearly ten thousand spirit pearls with him.

But now it's the old ghost of ten thousand corpses who's bleeding the blood, while Lu Cheng'an is the one who benefits. He has absolutely no need to explain.

After seeing that Tianyun Shangren had no reaction, Lu Cheng'an hesitated for a moment, then decided not to say anything more.

"Thank you both, sect leaders. With these spirit pearls, I will have enough resources to transform the demonic veins of Golden Cauldron Mountain!" Lu Cheng'an said with a smile.

After accepting the spirit pearls, Lu Cheng'an handed the Yin Gathering Pool to Tianyun Shangren, and then returned to his cave to continue refining the Yin Gathering Pool.

Tianyun Shangren and Wanshi Laoren each gave Lu Cheng'an a set of materials for refining the Yin Gathering Pool, as well as two sets of materials for the Golden Mother Yuan Plate and the Seven Elements Nourishing Spirit Flag.

Both the Golden Mother Yuan Plate and the Seven Elements Nourishing Spirit Banner are magical treasures that need to be used in conjunction with the Gathering Yin Pool. The crafting difficulty of these two magical treasures is not low, but they are not comparable to the Gathering Yin Pool at all.

If Lu Cheng'an can refine the Yin Gathering Pool, then refining the Golden Mother Yuan Plate and the Seven Elements Nourishing Spirit Flag will not be too difficult.

After returning to his cave, Lu Cheng'an immediately began refining the Yin Gathering Pool.

He spent ten years refining all three materials used to create the Yin Gathering Pool.

The quality of these three Yin Gathering Pools is much higher than the first one he refined, especially the last one he refined, in which he made almost no mistakes during the refining process.

After he finished refining the three Yin Gathering Pools, he began to refine the Golden Mother Yuan Plate and the Seven Elements Nourishing Spirit Banner, two magical treasures.

Lu Cheng'an's current weapon-refining skills are now almost on par with a mid-grade fifth-tier weapon refiner. The Golden Mother Yuan Plate and the Seven Elements Nourishing Spirit Flag are many times easier to refine than the Gathering Yin Pool.

Lu Cheng'an did not spend too much time studying the refining methods of the Golden Mother Yuan Plate and the Seven Elements Nourishing Spirit Flag, but he successfully refined both of these magical treasures on his first attempt, and the quality of the Golden Mother Yuan Plate and the Seven Elements Nourishing Spirit Flag he refined on his first attempt was not particularly low.

It took Lu Cheng'an five years to complete the refining of the two Golden Mother Yuan Plates and the two Seven Elements Nourishing Spirit Banners.

Thus, Lu Cheng'an spent nineteen years finally completing the crafting of all the magical treasures he had promised to Yin Hua Sect and Wan Shi Sect.

After resting for a while, Lu Cheng'an handed over all these magical treasures to Master Tianyun.

After that, he returned to his cave and began to help Shi Ningyu upgrade the Divine Jade Exquisite Pagoda to the fifth-grade lower level.

Lu Cheng'an was very familiar with the Divine Jade Exquisite Pagoda, and it would not be difficult for him to upgrade the Divine Jade Exquisite Pagoda to the fifth-grade low-level.

"Husband, we have been staying at Yinhua Sect for quite some time. When will we head to Jinding Mountain?" Shi Ningyu asked.

Shi Ningyu knew that Lu Chengan was helping the Yin Hua Sect refine a fifth-order magic weapon, but she didn't know the specifics.

She has been diligently cultivating in her cave for many years.

The cultivation environment of Yin Hua Sect is much better than that of the Lu family. With the help of the Pure Yang Elixir, Shi Ningyu's cultivation has improved a lot in recent years.

“I have already finished refining the fifth-tier magic treasure for the Yin Hua Sect. Next, I just need to help you upgrade the grade of the Divine Jade Exquisite Pagoda to the fifth-tier low grade, and then refine a fifth-tier low grade defensive magic treasure for each of us. After that, we will leave the Yin Hua Sect.”

Lu Cheng'an smiled slightly and said, "These are the formulas for the fifth-grade low-level Pure Yang Pill and the Green Wood Replenishing Pill, as well as a complete set of alchemy materials. If you have time, you can study them."

“We don’t need to rush to Golden Cauldron Mountain. After we finish refining our defensive magic treasures, I plan to refine a fifth-grade low-level magic treasure alchemy furnace. Then we can go to Golden Cauldron Mountain together.”

Pure Yang Elixir is the most common fifth-tier elixir used in the cultivation world to assist Nascent Soul cultivators. Depending on the quality of the materials used in its preparation, the grade of the Pure Yang Elixir ranges from low-grade fifth tier to top-grade fifth tier. Green Wood Replenishing Elixir is a low-grade fifth-tier healing elixir, and it is the most common type of low-grade fifth-tier healing elixir.

The formulas for both pills came from the Yin Hua Sect, and the materials for refining them were also provided free of charge by the Yin Hua Sect.

"Put away the formulas and ingredients for these two pills first. I'll help you upgrade the Divine Jade Exquisite Pagoda to the fifth-grade low level now!" Lu Cheng'an said with a loud laugh.

Shi Ningyu nodded gently. After putting away the pill formula and alchemy materials, she summoned her natal magic treasure, the Divine Jade Exquisite Pagoda.

The upgrade of a natal magic weapon requires the cooperation of its master. Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu were of one mind, which made the process of upgrading the Divine Jade Exquisite Pagoda even smoother.

Lu Cheng'an spent six months successfully upgrading the Divine Jade Exquisite Pagoda to the fifth-grade low-level.

At this time, Shi Ningyu left Lu Chengan's cave and returned to her cave to nurture the Divine Jade Exquisite Pagoda, which had just been promoted to a higher rank. At the same time, she was also studying the formulas for Pure Yang Elixir and Green Wood Replenishing Elixir, striving to break through to become a fifth-rank alchemist as soon as possible.

After Shi Ningyu left, Lu Chengan began to refine two fifth-grade low-level defensive magic treasures: the Spirit Flame Glazed Armor and the Profound Gold Secret Armor.

Defensive magic items are relatively difficult to craft among magic items of the same tier.

However, since Lu Cheng'an became a fifth-tier low-grade weapon refiner, apart from the three Yin Sha Spirit-Slaying Blades he initially refined, which were relatively easy to refine, the Yin Gathering Pool, the Golden Wood Yuan Plate, and the Seven Elements Nourishing Spirit Flag he subsequently refined were all more difficult than the Spirit Flame Glazed Armor and the Profound Gold Secret Armor.

After carefully studying the crafting methods of these two defensive magic treasures, Lu Cheng'an immediately began crafting them.

Two years later, Lu Cheng'an successfully refined these two magical treasures.

The Xuanjin Secret Armor was directly handed over to Shi Ningyu for refinement, while Lu Chengan simply refined the Spirit Flame Glazed Armor before beginning to study the refining method of a fifth-grade low-level magic weapon alchemy furnace.

Lu Cheng'an searched through almost all the weapon-refining manuals in the Burial Immortal Land, including the method for refining a fifth-order alchemy furnace.

The crafting of a fifth-grade low-level alchemy furnace is quite difficult, but Lu Cheng'an's crafting skills are now very high. After studying the crafting methods for a period of time, he began to craft a fifth-grade low-level magic weapon alchemy furnace.

Lu Cheng'an did not spend a long time refining the alchemy furnace; he successfully refined the fifth-grade low-level magic weapon alchemy furnace in less than nine months.

"Ningyu, this is a fifth-grade low-level magic weapon alchemy furnace that I just refined. Find some time to refine it. Now I will take you to find the sect master of Yinhua Sect, Master Tianyun."

Lu Cheng'an originally planned to wait until he was done with his work before taking Shi Ningyu to see Master Tianyun, but he did not expect it to take so long.

After quickly inspecting the fifth-grade low-level alchemy furnace, Shi Ningyu couldn't help but show a look of joy on her face.

"During this period of time, I have studied the formulas for the Pure Yang Elixir and the Green Wood Replenishing Elixir, and I am confident that I can refine these two elixirs."

Shi Ningyu smiled faintly and said, "These two kinds of pills are very effective for cultivators in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Before we head to Golden Cauldron Mountain, should we buy some more materials to refine these two kinds of pills?"

Shi Ningyu was indeed confident that she could refine the Pure Yang Elixir and the Green Wood Replenishing Elixir, but she only had one set of materials, so there was still a certain chance of failure.

"Let's go find Master Tianyun first and ask him to help us purchase the materials for refining the Pure Yang Elixir and the Green Wood Replenishing Elixir!"

The materials for refining Pure Yang Elixir and Green Wood Replenishing Elixir are not uncommon. Many Nascent Soul sects, such as Yin Hua Sect, cultivate spiritual herbs for refining these two elixirs.

Lu Cheng'an plans to purchase a batch of medicinal seed materials for refining Pure Yang Elixir and Green Wood Replenishing Elixir when he returns to his family next time.

By now, a fifth-order spiritual vein should have been cultivated within Suixing Peak, and the spiritual energy on Suixing Peak is more than sufficient to support the growth of fifth-order spiritual herbs.

A moment later, Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu left the cave together and headed towards Tianyun Shangren's cave.

Master Tianyun has been very busy lately, as he has been setting up the Yin Gathering Pool and the Seven Elements Nourishing Spirit Flag that Lu Chengan has refined.

If these two magical treasures are successfully installed, the Yin Hua Sect will be able to gain two more cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage.

However, he valued Lu Cheng'an highly. After receiving Lu Cheng'an's message, he immediately put down what he was doing and returned to his cave to wait for Lu Cheng'an to arrive.

"Sect Master, this is my Daoist partner, Shi Ningyu."

"Ningyu, this is the Sect Master of Yinhua Sect, Master Tianyun!"

"Actually, we should have paid our respects to the sect leader together when we returned to Yin Hua Sect, but I've been so busy that I only had time now!" Lu Cheng'an said with a hint of apology.

After greeting Master Tianyun and Shi Ningyu, Master Tianyun said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Lu is too kind. Fellow Daoist Lu has been so busy all these years because of me. I should be the one apologizing to Fellow Daoist Lu!"

After exchanging pleasantries with Tianyun Shangren, Lu Cheng'an asked, "The sect leader previously said that if I go to Jinding Mountain, the higher-ups will cover half of the cost of converting the Jinding Mountain demonic veins. I'm preparing to go to Jinding Mountain with my Daoist partner now, but I don't know when we'll receive half of the cost for converting the Jinding Mountain demonic veins?"

The demonic cultivators of Jinding Mountain have been gone for nearly thirty years. In these years, without the blessing of the demonic transformation array, the demonic veins of Jinding Mountain have shown a tendency to transform back into spiritual veins under the influence of the power of the Xuan Chen Realm itself.

However, the time required to transform the Xuan Chen Realm using its own power is extremely long. If the transformation time is to be shortened, a purification magic array needs to be set up on Jin Ding Mountain.

The demonic energy of Jinding Mountain is still extremely dense. If we want to eliminate the demonic energy of Jinding Mountain in a short time, we need to set up at least a mid-grade fifth-level purification magic array.

In addition to the purification magic array, a large number of spirit pearls need to be invested in Golden Cauldron Mountain to assist the purification magic array in weakening the power of the demonic energy in Golden Cauldron Mountain.

A mid-grade fifth-tier purification magic array is extremely difficult to construct and requires a great deal of resources.

There are no spirit array masters in the three states of Mengyuan Prefecture who can set up a mid-grade fifth-order purification magic array, so it is necessary to ask fifth-order spirit array masters from other states to come and help.

Hongying Yuanjun has already consulted with the Jinyan Sect in Lizhou, and the Jinyan Sect has given Hongying Yuanjun accurate information.

If the three states of Mengyuan Prefecture decide to set up a purification magic array at Jinding Mountain, then the Jinyan Sect will send a spirit array master to Jinding Mountain to set up the purification magic array.

The materials for setting up the purification magic array will be provided by the three states of Mengyuan Prefecture, but Lu Cheng'an will have to pay for the cost of having a fifth-level spirit array master from the Golden Flame Sect set up the purification magic array himself.

Setting up a mid-grade fifth-tier purification magic array won't be cheap, costing around ten thousand spirit orbs. (End of Chapter)
