Chapter 79 Refining Treasure, Leaping Three Ranks!
The next day.
Green Bamboo Peak, halfway up the mountain.
A factory with a length of over three hundred zhang was built from hundreds of thousands of purple bamboos. The entire structure was dark purple, with traces of flame aura attached to it, and it felt warm to the touch.
"Phew!"
"Finally, I don't have to continue chopping purple bamboo. The patch down the mountain has all been chopped down!"
Xiaoyu lay on top of the Big Black Lizard's head, looking at the finished purple bamboo house, and spoke rather feebly.
Inside the bamboo factory.
Lin Xuan had paved the ground with a layer of black jade stone slabs that had been refined by the Earth Fire Cauldron.
He had roughly constructed the prototype within this bamboo house.
Then, Lin Xuan took out a Transmission Talisman, injected spiritual energy into it, and activated it.
Whoosh!
That spiritual talisman suddenly flew out, and in just a few breaths, it shot toward the Inner Sect in the distance.
On the Inner Sect Dragon-Tiger Peak.
At the mountain summit.
Beside a giant boulder entwined with green vines, Zhao Feiyu, wearing light armor and holding a black long spear, was waving the black iron spear in his hand with sweat covering his face. He seemed tireless; in his hands, the black iron spear seemed alive. When the spear attacked, white airwaves surged and rolled, like a great dragon turning over clouds and rain within a vast ocean.
At this moment, the scene of the battle with the Bull-Headed Monster kept replaying in Zhao Feiyu's mind. Back then, if his spear technique had been even a fraction faster, perhaps Lin Xuan wouldn't have needed to kill that Bull-Headed Monster; he could have done it himself!
After practicing the set of family spear techniques five hundred times.
Zhao Feiyu finally slowly ceased his efforts.
His powerful arms, with muscles bulging, planted the black iron spear vertically on the ground. As the three-thousand-jin black iron spear landed, it caused a few shocking cracks to appear in the rock beneath his feet.
Zhao Feiyu stroked his father's relic, the Black Dragon Spear. Now that his physical strength had become increasingly formidable, this Third Rank lower quality Black Dragon Spear felt somewhat light to him. He was already preparing to go to the Artifact Refining Peak and find an Inner Sect disciple to refine it.
Zhao Feiyu casually took out a Cleansing Garment Talisman from his storage bag. After activating it with spiritual energy, a mist of water mixed with floral scent enveloped Zhao Feiyu. Half a breath later, his pants, which had been soaked in sweat, became very dry.
Suddenly.
From the morning clouds, a transmission spiritual light flew over and landed into Zhao Feiyu's hand.
On the transmission spiritual light, a character "Xuan" flashing with spiritual light could faintly be seen.
"Lin Xuan?"
Zhao Feiyu submerged his spiritual consciousness into the Transmission Talisman, then immediately looked in the direction of Green Bamboo Peak, stepping out and riding the wind away.
Half a quarter-hour later.
Zhao Feiyu arrived within the range of Green Bamboo Peak. He was evidently attracted by a bamboo house halfway up the mountain, revealing a hint of confusion in his eyes. He did not understand why Lin Xuan would build such a large bamboo house on his own cultivation peak.
Just as he was feeling curious.
Lin Xuan walked out from the bamboo house below.
"Lin Xuan, what did you build this bamboo house for!?"
Zhao Feiyu looked at the bamboo house with interest, even approaching it and knocking on it a few times.
"The materials used to build this bamboo house are probably of the Third Rank or above!"
Zhao Feiyu said in surprise.
"I asked you to come because I want to help you forge your weapon!"
Lin Xuan led Zhao Feiyu into the bamboo house and said to him.
When Zhao Feiyu saw the Twin Dragons Earth Fire Cauldron, his pupils shrank.
"Forge my weapon? When did you learn the art of artifact refining!"
Zhao Feiyu asked in confusion.
"In the inheritance of the Northern Underworld Emperor, there is a supreme book on artifact refining. It records several methods of artifact refining and left behind this cauldron."
Lin Xuan said with an unchanged expression.
"Don't worry, I wouldn't help you forge it if I didn't have absolute certainty!"
Then, Lin Xuan said with confidence on his face.
Afterward, Zhao Feiyu didn't ask any further questions and just took out the Black Dragon Spear.
Lin Xuan threw the Black Dragon Spear directly into the Earth Fire Cauldron.
"Great Artifact Refining Technique!"
The next moment, Lin Xuan directly cast the spell. His spiritual consciousness connected with the natal rune of the Great Artifact Refining Technique in his sea of consciousness, and a scorching flame suddenly surged up between his hands.
Firewaves swept in all directions.
Even Zhao Feiyu, who had already retreated dozens of steps away, could still feel a scorching sensation rushing toward his face.
"Condense!"
Lin Xuan stared at the fist-sized spirit fire before him. Under the control of his spiritual consciousness, it shrank to the size of a grain of rice at a speed visible to the naked eye, yet the heat wave did not decrease but increased.
After several repetitions, even Zhao Feiyu had to circulate spiritual energy to resist and retreated to a hundred steps away.
"Is Lin Xuan's strength already this powerful?"
Zhao Feiyu stared at Lin Xuan, who was submerged by the firewaves, with strong fighting intent burning in his eyes.
He even decided in his heart to increase his daily spear practice count to one thousand times.
In a few days, he would go to the Mission Hall to accept a few tasks and leave the mountain to gain some experience.
At this time.
Lin Xuan had already condensed the spirit fire generated by the Great Artifact Refining Technique eight times, and controlling it had become very difficult.
Immediately after, Lin Xuan threw this cluster of spirit fire into the Earth Fire Cauldron.
His gaze was solemn.
Although Lin Xuan had used spirit fire to temper magical treasures over ten thousand times, this time it was Zhao Feiyu's relic, the Black Dragon Spear. He had to ensure that no accidents would happen.
Inside the Earth Fire Cauldron.
The fist-sized orange-red flame bloomed like a beautiful peony, releasing countless strands of spirit fire like willow catkins, very evenly enveloping the Black Dragon Spear.
At the same time, Lin Xuan used the aura of this spirit fire that had been condensed eight times to draw forth that strand of Meteor Heart Flame within the Earth Fire Cauldron.
Under Lin Xuan's spiritual consciousness observation.
He saw a trace of blood-colored flame rise from the bottom of the Earth Fire Cauldron. As if attracted by something, it was led by Lin Xuan to travel through the Black Dragon Spear once.
A long time later.
Lin Xuan casually recalled the Black Dragon Spear.
Holding it in his hand, without adding any spiritual materials, it seemed to weigh over a thousand jin more.
It still felt somewhat steady in hand.
Immediately after, Lin Xuan opened the system's inspection function.
Nickname: Black Dragon Spear
Type: Magical Treasure
Rank: Sixth Rank High Grade (Flame Attachment)
"It leaped three ranks in a row, and it even has a special effect!"
Although Lin Xuan was prepared, a situation of leaping three ranks at once was also happening for the first time.
"Could it be because of that spirit fire condensed eight times?" Lin Xuan pondered.
Then, Lin Xuan injected spiritual energy into the black iron spear in his hand.
Hum!
The next moment, a crimson blazing flame suddenly surged from the body of the entire Black Dragon Spear, turning it into a flaming spear. Lin Xuan absorbed a wisp of the flame; the power of this flame also reached the Fourth Rank.
"Feiyu, catch the spear!"
Lin Xuan threw the tempered Black Dragon Spear toward Zhao Feiyu.
Zhao Feiyu caught it with one hand and waved it twice. In an instant, it stirred up a swath of white airwaves. The sharp spear technique was several tenths more powerful than before.
At the same time, Zhao Feiyu also tried the effect of flame attachment. With this spear, he even had the confidence to fight a demon of the Golden Core Realm for three hundred rounds.
"Good spear!"
Zhao Feiyu stroked the spear body a few times. The warmth of entry wrapped around his arms. It seemed as if wisps of residual flame heat were traveling through his meridians, actually giving his arms a brief tempering while holding the spear, which was astounding!
