Capítulo 20: Weapon Refinement
Editor: Atlas Studios
"I have two bottles of middle-grade Spirit Pills and a bottle of high-grade Body Tempering Pills."
Xu Fan placed the three bottles of spirit pills on the trading counter. When he completed the missions from time to time in the alliance, it was often very satisfying to look at other people's envious expressions.
At this time, the shop assistant at the counter handed the corresponding items to Xu Fan. The shop assistant didn't check the pills either. In this alliance, no one would sell fake items.
After the trade was completed, Xu Fan said to Pang Fu beside him, "Senior Brother, help me issue a mission. I want to purchase all kinds of rune information. Natural God Descending Runes are even better. The price of the rune remains to be determined."
"Also help me to indicate that there is no need to trade runes that are imparted by the Weapon Refinement Peak," said Xu Fan.
"Alright. Come, Junior Brother Xu, let's go upstairs and have some tea," said Pang Fu with a smile. A trace of doubt flashed across his eyes. He wanted to purchase runes? Could it be that this junior brother was currently learning how to refine weapons?
In the guest reception room, Xu Fan looked at the scene of people coming and going downstairs and praised, "Senior Brother Pang, this is not bad. It's only been a short time and our alliance is already doing so well."
"Isn't it because the alliance has a genius like Junior Brother Xu overseeing it that I am able to quickly rope in our alliance brothers?"
He was clearly an immortal cultivator, yet he exuded the aura of a merchant.
"You should know what the next step our alliance should take. Our sect is a bit against development. Even though they didn't object to it, it's not like they can just sit back and watch as we develop and grow," said Xu Fan. He had some understanding of the attitude of the sect.
After entering the outer sect for a period of time, Xu Fan was amazed by the sect cultivation system.
When recruiting outer sect disciples, even if they were geniuses, they had to stay in the outer sect area for the entire Qi Refinement Stage. This was the same even if the seniors in the sect took disciples in. Then, their performance in the outer sect would determine whether they would enter the inner sect.
The Heavenly Imperial Sect placed great importance on the disciple's character and personality.
Xu Fan had a feeling that there was a pair of special eyes staring at the outer sect. In fact, it might be staring at every single disciple.
Pang Fu pondered for a moment and said, "If we are a little bigger, I'll establish a Chamber of Commerce in the outer sect."
"Establishing this alliance is a way for me to accumulate connections. In the future, this alliance will also exist in the form of a Chamber of Commerce."
Pang Fu spoke without any reservations. After all, they were both smart people. If he covered it up too much, Xu Fan would look down on them.
"You will definitely become a cultivator whose wealth resounds throughout the world in the future." Xu Fan praised Pang Fu. Those who could easily play around with this type of platform were all people with schemes and methods.
In Xu Fan's opinion, it was only a matter of time before such a person became famous in the cultivation world.
"Haha, Junior Brother Xu is too kind."
"Oh right, Junior Brother Xu, have you been learning the path of weapon refinement recently?" Pang Fu asked.
"That's right. What's wrong? Are you trying to persuade me to focus on alchemy?" Xu Fan smiled. When he was chatting with Wang Yulun, Wang Yulun had tried to persuade him otherwise.
"Junior Brother Xu, I'm not trying to persuade you. Let me tell you a secret first."
"Oh, what secret?" Xu Fan asked with interest.
"I unintentionally received a message regarding the dual alchemy and weapon cultivation."
"Regardless of whether it is refining pills or refining weapons, once they reach the peak of refinement, this realm will release a guiding light, bringing them into the Immortal World."
"However, if one refines both alchemy and weapons, that would be equivalent to giving up on the guiding light. They can only rely on cultivation to break through to the Immortal World," said Pang Fu in a serious tone.
"Haha, Senior Brother Pang has thought too far ahead for me."
"However, I must still thank you, Senior Brother Pang."
Xu Fan took out a bottle of high-grade spirit pills from his storage bag.
"I won't listen to Senior Brother Pang's secret information for free."
"I will give you this bottle of high-grade Small Spirit Pills in exchange for Senior Brother's news," said Xu Fan. Xu Fan did not mind making friends with people with potential in the future.
"Thank you, Junior Brother Xu."
Pang Fu did not speak any nonsense and directly accepted the Small Spirit Pills. A hint of admiration flashed across Xu Fan's eyes.
As Pang Fu bid farewell, Xu Fan flew towards Weapon Refinement Peak. He wanted to refine a few Dharma artifacts before entering the mystic realm.
The Weapon Refinement Peak was the core of the weapon refinement places within the Heavenly Imperial Sect. The peak itself was a huge volcano. It was said that the Peak Master of the Weapon Refinement Peak had drawn up an earth core flame from the depths of the earth 1,000 years ago for the younger generation to refine weapons.
After paying 100 Spirit Stones on Weapon Refinement Peak, Xu Fan obtained a token for a single room at the Earth Core Workshop.
"Oh my god, did that Peak Master empty the entire mountain?"
"Furthermore, there's too much fire spiritual energy here."
The moment he entered the Earth Core Workshop, Xu Fan saw the lava in the middle of the workshop. It was as if it was controlled by an invisible force, flowing like water into all the rooms.
Xu Fan found the room number stated on the token according to the order of the rooms and directly placed the token on the mechanism. Then, the door of the room opened.
It was a room that was more than 40 square meters large. This was the lowest-grade room in the Earth Core Workshop. It was just right to refine basic Dharma treasures.
Under the wall at the other side of the room, there was a water trough that flowed with magma from the core of the earth. There was also a small pool of magma. In addition, there were three fire Spirit Stones on the wall to ensure that the room was filled with fire spiritual energy.
"The temperature here is about 60 degrees. It's perfect for a sauna."
Xu Fan waved his hand as he spoke. Then, a thin layer of frost armor appeared on his body, instantly refreshing him.
"I have my black iron ore, Thousand Cloud Steel, Hundred Flower Spider Silk, Thousand Fire Copper Vine…" Xu Fan took out everything he needed.
"Let's practice first," said Xu Fan as he threw the black iron ore and Thousand Cloud Steel into the lava pool, waiting for them to soften.
Summoning spirit fire directly to refine it would require too much spiritual energy.
Half an hour later, Xu Fan quickly pulled out the softened Bblack iron ore and Thousand Cloud Steel. He controlled his spiritual energy to make the materials float in the air before they slowly landed on the specially prepared tempering platform in the room.
Xu Fan cast a spell with both hands and multitasked. Two hammers made of spiritual energy appeared in the air, and he began to hammer the two spirit ores on the tempering platform.
"This is completely different from what I imagined refining weapons to be."
As Xu Fan spoke, he controlled his spiritual energy and used the sledgehammer to hammer and temper the two spirit ores. He occasionally flipped the ores as well.
An hour later, when the black iron ore and Thousand Cloud Steel finally started to stabilize, they were tempered to the extent that Xu Fan wanted.
"It's a bit of a waste of spiritual energy. If it weren't for the fact that I have a solid foundation, I wouldn't have been able to endure this at Level-4 of the Qi Refinement Stage."
Xu Fan instantly controlled the two tempered ores to float in the air. Then, he took out a high-grade Speed Spirit Pill and stuffed it into his mouth. His spiritual energy instantly recovered.
After that, he used the Modeling Spell.
The two pieces of metal in the air began to change shape. The Thousand Cloud Steel became the most ordinary sword, while the black iron ore became a ball of liquid that slowly attached itself to the surface of the sword.
A pure black sword appeared.
At this moment, Xu Fan's gaze became serious. All that was left was to fuse the runes.
Xu Fan used his finger as a pen, drawing runes in the air and infusing them into the Dharma artifact.
"Spirit Control, Armor Break, Sturdy, Light Feather, Silence, Spirit Break."
Just as Xu Fan was about to fuse the sixth rune…
Bang!
The explosion of spiritual power directly destroyed the Dharma artifact that was about to form.
Earth Spirit Barrier!
Water Spirit Barrier!
At the moment of the explosion, two layers of defensive barriers instantly formed on the surface of Xu Fan's body.
Xu Fan looked at the scene of failure and wanted to cry.
"My ingredients that cost over 400 Spirit Stones are gone just like that?"
