Chapter 64: My Strongest Skill is Artifact Refining!!

Translator: 54969032

The higher-ups of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect all revealed looks of hope, “The protege uncle must be asking for spiritual artifacts, the greatest possibility is that he is preparing to cross the Tribulation!”

Whenever a cultivator crosses the Tribulation, they would prepare several defensive spiritual artifacts to help themselves withstand the Tribulation Thunder.

Now that the protege uncle is asking for spiritual artifacts, aside from preparing for the Tribulation, what else could it be for?

In an instant, everyone was overjoyed, they had finally waited for this day!

Mu Xingzhi suppressed the joy in his heart and asked, “Protege uncle, do you need defensive-type spiritual artifacts?”

Li Cheng pondered, then said offhandedly, “A tripod would be best.”

A tripod?

Mu Xingzhi and the others exchanged looks, and the First Elder hurriedly said, “Sect Master, a tripod can also be used for defense.”

With this statement, everyone understood; indeed, like the protege uncle’s Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod, it could transform into something immensely large!

Such a large tripod, overturned in mid-air, could instantly withstand a massive amount of Tribulation Thunder!

The protege uncle is truly clever!

In the past, powerful sect members who crossed the Tribulation relied on battle armors, but now it seems, the defensive capability of battle armors may not compare to that of tripods!

“It looks like, the protege uncle is really preparing to cross the Tribulation!” an elder whispered, his voice filled with joy.

Mu Xingzhi pondered, aside from using it for Tribulation Crossing, he really couldn’t think of any other reason the protege uncle would need a spiritual artifact, especially a tripod-type spiritual artifact.

It seems, the protege uncle is truly intending to cross the Tribulation!

Having this thought, Mu Xingzhi nodded firmly, “Rest assured, protege uncle, we will make sure you are satisfied.”

Li Cheng was busy preparing materials and did not notice the others’ whispering. He nodded slightly, “Anything will do.”

He was simply looking for a few spiritual artifacts to modify, as practice, and didn’t need to care about the quality.

Why use modification as practice?

Because modifying spiritual artifacts is even more difficult than crafting new ones, and this is how one demonstrates their skill and hones their technique.

For a completed spiritual artifact, tugging on one thing affects everything; the difficulty of modifying it far exceeds that of crafting a new one. Without a high level of expertise, how could it be possible to modify?

Moreover, these are spiritual artifacts crafted by others, not himself.

If he were to modify artifacts he had crafted himself, it would naturally be much easier.

“I’ve nearly eighty thousand sets of materials for the fourth-grade Rising Yuan Pill, and due to its high grade, the Pill Tribulation it attracts will certainly exceed that of the previous third-grade Rising Yuan Pili. So I’ll need the Sect Master to keep an eye out for me and prevent people from getting close to the Eighteenth Peak, to avoid disaster!”

Having sorted out the medicinal herbs, Li Cheng spoke up.

Seven days ago, when refining the third-grade Rising Yuan Pills, although there were over one hundred and ten thousand sets, the grade was only third-grade. Now he was refining fourth-grade, and the Pill Tribulation would naturally be stronger.

Last time, so many people witnessed Yun Tianqiong and two others using the Tribulation Thunder for cultivation with their Golden Core Stage cultivation bases, it was likely that many people had been tempted to emulate the trio’s strategy.

But without a doubt, outsiders didn’t possess the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture or the trio’s robust physiques; if they approached the Tribulation Thunder, they would surely die!

Mu Xingzhi and the others nodded solemnly. Even without Li Cheng’s instructions , they knew what to do.

The alchemy began, and for the next five days, Li Cheng only refined one batch per day, spending the rest of the time refining Tribulation Thunder and Immortal Yuan Power.

Having completed the refining of the eighth-grade Rising Yuan Pill, Li Cheng had already capitalized on the situation to master ten Thunder laws, greatly enhancing his body, spiritual sense, and Immortal Yuan.

His body’s strength was now comparable to an Immortal Artifact, he had transformed sixty percent of his Immortal Yuan, and when he released his spiritual sense, he could cover a radius of ten thousand ii.

These enhancements were related to the more than twenty days of continuous enlightenment experienced last time, as well as the six times he refined his body with Tribulation Thunder. All in all, this alchemy session brought abundant rewards.

Li Cheng kept ten Emperor Grade pills of each Rising Yuan Pill for himself, giving two to each disciple, with four remaining in his possession for any unexpected needs.

“Protege uncle, you’ve truly worked hard!”

As the eighth-grade Rising Yuan Pills were finished, Mu Xingzhi and the others flew forward to salute him.

Li Cheng nodded, “It s a minor matter, please proceed with the arrangements as I’ve said before, Sect Master.”

Mu Xingzhi nodded, “Junior Uncle, rest assured, even if we keep only half, the overall strength of our sect will still undergo a qualitative improvement,” he said.

As he spoke, Mu Xingzhi flipped his hand, and five Pill Tripods appeared beside him!

“Junior Uncle, these are the Spiritual Artifacts you asked for. Are you satisfied with them?” Mu Xingzhi said with a smile.

Li Cheng scanned the five top-grade Spiritual Artifacts level Pill Tripods, his expression gradually becoming one of astonishment, “Does our sect have so many top-grade Spiritual Artifacts level Pill Tripods?”

The smile on Mu Xingzhi’s face did not diminish as he shook his head, “Of course not, three of them were purchased from the Hundred Calamities Commerce Union these past few days.”

Li Cheng’s mouth twitched, “Using top-grade Spiritual Artifacts as practice material is a bit extravagant, isn’t it?”

Hmm?

Mu Xingzhi was taken aback, “Modifying them?”

They’re not meant for Tribulation Crossing?

The higher-ups were also stunned. Junior Uncle wanted Spiritual Artifacts, just to modify them?

Was he modifying them for fun?

Once a Spiritual Artifact is formed, modifying it would require highly advanced Artifact Refining Technique.

Junior Uncle is already proficient in Alchemy Dao and Array Path, could it be he’s also skilled in Artifact Way?

This… was highly doubtful!

Mu Xingzhi’s expression turned bitter, “Junior Uncle, your Pill Skill is unparalleled, and your formations are surely beyond the reach of many. Isn’t that enough? Do you still want to dabble in Artifact Refining?”

“Isn’t that great? If my Pill Artifact Arrays could all reach an extremely high standard, it would be a good thing for the sect. Why are you… why are you all looking so troubled?” Li Cheng asked, puzzled.

Lhe others could only offer a bitter smile. Of course, they couldn’t be happy because they were all hoping for Junior Uncle to ascend soon!

Now that your Alchemy Dao and Array Path have successors, if you were to ascend, not to mention the sect receiving a baptism of Immortal Qi, more importantly, it would break the embarrassing plight of no one from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect ascending for tens of thousands of years.

Moreover, your reputation is currently at its peak. An earlier ascent would greatly boost rhe reputation of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect!

But you… are actually interested in studying Artifact Refining?

The others looked dismayed, but those words were hard to voice out loud.

“Actually, my Alchemy Dao and Array Path can only be considered average, my true strength lies in Artifact Refining!” Li Cheng added.

The group remained silent. Great, Alchemy and Array Paths are almost unmatched, yet deemed average?

Just keep boasting, boast boldly, go ahead and boast all you want!

Anyway, the ascension has been postponed once again.

Really incomprehensible, you’ve already been at the Complete stage of the Transcendence Tribulation Stage for so long, why not ascend, what exactly are you aiming to do?

As for Artifact Refining… just do whatever you like.

All the others could do was hope that Junior Uncle would soon have his fill and then ascend early.

Seeing no response, Li Cheng shrugged his shoulders. Honestly, everyone seemed unwilling to believe him.

Well, if he could successfully modify these five Pill Tripods, then there wouldn’t be any pressure in working on the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod.

Without delay, Li Cheng grabbed a Pill Tripod, and as his Spiritual Sense swept over it, he had already formulated a modification plan.

Li Cheng’s idea was to strengthen the Spirit Lock Array in the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod, and to carve out even larger space within the array to store Immortal Yuan.

In this way, in the future, he could fully refine the Immortal Infant and Immortal Stone, and store the Immortal Yuan Power for his own refining process.

But to achieve this, he needed to practice first.

The Pill Tripod in front of him also had a Spirit Lock Array engraved on the inside, making it perfectly suitable for practice.

If he failed, the worst outcome would be the destruction of a top-grade Spiritual Artifact Pill Tripod.

Such a loss was trivial for the current Heavenly Mechanism Sect..
