To be the best leader, you must also be the strongest leader!

"Elder Zhang, it's understandable if you have any objections. After all, breaking through from the Golden Core Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage is a great opportunity, but I don't think it's appropriate for you to break through now."

"You haven't yet switched to practicing our sect's Five Elements Kung Fu, nor have you cultivated the Five Elements Dantian. Obviously, even if you break through to the Nascent Soul stage, you won't be the most advanced Nascent Soul stage in our sect."

"If you break through the Nascent Soul stage now and then switch to practicing exercises and cultivating the Five Elements Dantian, the cost will be very high, and success may not be guaranteed. Once you have cultivated the Five Elements Dantian and cultivated your physical body to perfection, then the breakthrough should be different."

"You are willing to be an ordinary Yuanying stage master, and I am not willing to see you as an ordinary Yuanying stage cultivator. I hope you will achieve greater success in the future."

"Master, I understand. I will practice according to your instructions and will not let you down." Zhang Ye took a deep breath and understood everything in his heart.

"Now that your soul has fully recovered from its injuries, can you refine the spiritual fire directly? Last time, we killed a Yuanying stage cultivator in the Seven Stars Tower and obtained his Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire. If you can refine it, it will be very helpful to your weapon refining skills."

"If that doesn't work, then you can only wait until you have cultivated the Five Elements Dantian, and then use the Five Gates to refine the Spiritual Fire."

"I can try. Xuanhuo Sect has a secret technique specifically for refining spiritual fire. Moreover, I have a top-grade fire attribute spiritual root, so I am naturally suitable for refining spiritual fire."

"Okay, I'll go get the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire right away."

Sun Yi nodded, then went to get the Qinglian Earth Core Fire that he had seized last time.

I saw that the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire was placed in a red gourd spiritual weapon. Although the power of this spiritual weapon was great, it was not easy to refine now that it had lost its owner. Sun Yi decided to take out the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire directly.

"How is it? Take a look at this spiritual weapon and see if you can extract the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire from it?" Sun Yi looked at Zhang Ye.

Zhang Ye carefully examined the gourd spiritual weapon and said slowly, "The material of this spiritual weapon is quite good. It uses a five-thousand-year-old green jade gourd as the main material, and also adds a lot of precious materials. The quality is not low. It's a pity that it uses blood refining. Now that the owner of the spiritual weapon is dead, this spiritual weapon will be useless."

Sun Yi sighed helplessly. It was because of this that he could only find a way to get the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire out.

"Let me try."

Zhang Ye sat cross-legged, and the inner Qi surged out and directly wrapped around the gourd. The gourd hung upside down not far in front of him, emitting a faint spiritual light.

Suddenly, Zhang Ye clasped his hands together and instantly activated the true fire. The majestic true fire gradually changed under his control, and after a while it turned into a true fire vortex.

Then, no one knew what secret technique Zhang Ye used, but he directly sacrificed a drop of his own blood and completely merged it into the vortex of true fire. The vortex of true fire then turned blood red.

Then he placed the blood-red true fire vortex at the mouth of the gourd, and a suction force extended towards the inside of the gourd.

Time passed slowly, and Zhang Ye used all his strength to activate his true energy. The vortex of true fire continued to rotate around the mouth of the gourd. This process lasted for several hours.

Zhang Ye's true energy was almost exhausted at this time, but he still had no intention of giving up.

Sun Yi and others were watching nearby. Just when Sun Yi thought Zhang Ye was going to fail this time, a thin thread of light blue flame suddenly emerged from the mouth of the gourd.

After this thin flame gushed out from the mouth of the gourd, it fell directly into the center of the blood-colored true fire vortex. As time passed, more and more flames escaped from the gourd.

"Success!"

When the people watching nearby saw this scene, they all showed surprise on their faces. The Green Lotus Earth Core Fire had been in the gourd for some time, and the gourd could not be refined. Even the cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage could not get the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire out. They did not expect that Zhang Ye actually succeeded.

"As expected of a fourth-rank weapon refiner!"

"Hahaha, Elder Zhang's injuries have healed, and he will soon have the aid of spiritual fire. By then, his weapon refining skills will surely skyrocket!"

"It will be much easier for us to refine weapons from now on!"

Everyone in the R&D department was sincerely happy to see Zhang Ye gradually refining the Qinglian Earth Core Fire. The higher Zhang Ye's refining skills, the greater his influence on the R&D department.

Time passed slowly. Zhang Ye continued to take elixirs to restore his true energy and continuously extracted the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire from the gourd. Ten days had passed.

As the last trace of the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire escaped from the gourd, the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire in the center of the blood-colored vortex in front of Zhang Ye had revealed its complete form.

This is a bluish-white lotus flame, quietly suspended in Zhang Ye's true fire vortex, emitting a terrifying flame, which is much more powerful than the power of Sun Yi's purple extreme flame explosion.

After all, it was a spiritual fire that had been refined by a Yuanying stage master, and Sun Yi's current purple extreme flame could not compare to it at all.

Afterwards, Zhang Ye used the secret technique of Xuanhuo Sect to absorb the blue lotus core fire into his body, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Congratulations to Elder Zhang for obtaining the spiritual fire!" Wu Muyan bowed with a smile.

"Elder Wu, you are too polite. This is all thanks to the sect." Zhang Ye smiled and seemed to be in a good mood.

"Elder Zhang, have you completely refined this Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire?" Gu Qingcheng couldn't help but ask.

Zhang Ye shook his head helplessly. "It's not that easy. After all, this is a spiritual fire that was refined by a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage. It will take some time for me to fully refine and master it. Right now, I can only utilize a small portion of the spiritual fire's power. But even so, the spiritual fire has elevated my weapon-refining skills to a higher level."

"Great, now it's up to Elder Zhang." Sun Yi was very happy.

"Master, if you have any instructions, please speak up."

"Then let's refine the remaining demon refining pot first." Sun Yi assigned the task without any hesitation. Zhang Ye did not refuse and started working directly.

With his soul restored and the spiritual fire in his possession, his weapon-refining skills improved significantly. Not only was the quality of the demon-refining pot he refined higher, but his weapon-refining efficiency also increased a lot.

After the Demon Refining Pot was finished, Sun Yi had no intention of letting Zhang Ye stop. Instead, he asked Zhang Ye to concentrate on refining a fourth-level spirit sword.

This magic sword is made of very precious materials. It was specially made by Sun Yi for Su Motang. Su Motang's magic sword had been destroyed long ago. He had never had a magic sword that suited him and had no way to fully exert his strength.

Even if he went to buy a spiritual sword, he couldn't buy one that matched Su Motang's skills. If he asked a fourth-level weapon refiner outside to refine it, the cost would be too high.

Now that he had his own weapon refiner, it was natural to arrange for Su Motang's sword. When Zhang Ye heard that he was going to refine a spiritual sword for Su Motang, he did not dare to be careless and immediately used all his strength to refine the weapon.
