Genius Beauty
The green flame in Rongyue's hand was about the size of two fingers. Although she was trying her best to control it and not emit any heat, Luo Zheng could still feel that this ball of flame was shockingly powerful. Its grade was even higher than his own Astral Fire Source.
"What a powerful flame source! Could it be … sister is an alchemist? "
Luo Zheng's eyes widened in surprise.
"Hehe, this is the Ice Lotus Flame Source that my father spent a lot of effort to find for me. Unfortunately, I can only refine Mortal Level middle grade pills. Otherwise, I would definitely refine a Yuan Dan for big brother. It's all my fault for being so stupid." Rongyue blamed herself.
"You're at most twelve years old this year. You can refine Mortal Level middle grade pills and you call yourself stupid? If other alchemists heard this, wouldn't they be so embarrassed that they would find a hole to hide in? "
Luo Zheng couldn't help but roll his eyes. Becoming an alchemist at such a young age was simply unheard of.
He didn't expect Princess Rongyue to not only be a beauty, but also a genius beauty!
Tsk tsk!
At the same time, Luo Zheng was secretly amazed. The Ice Lotus was a rare heavenly treasure that only bloomed once every five hundred years. When it bloomed, the center of the lotus would give birth to the Ice Lotus Flame Source, which could be said to be priceless.
In the Through Heaven Record, the Ice Lotus Flame Source was rated as a fourth-grade flame source by the Spirit Sword Heavenly Sovereign. Prince Rong actually found it with a lot of effort. One could see how much love he had for Rongyue.
Hearing Luo Zheng's praise, Rongyue was overjoyed. Her beautiful face flushed red, looking extremely charming.
"Sister, don't worry. I have my own ways to obtain the Yuan Dan and enter the Blood Tempering Realm."
Luo Zheng's eyes lit up when he thought of the Blood Tempering Trial. According to Wang Nian, the Trial required one to be at least in the Blood Tempering Realm to compete for the rewards. However, now that he had the Astral Flame Source, the Azure Pearl Sword, and the Beast Transformation Pill, he might be able to obtain a Mortal Level high grade pill.
…
The two of them talked a lot in the carriage. When night fell and Rongyue had no choice but to return home, they reluctantly parted ways.
Luo Zheng smiled faintly as he watched the luxurious flood dragon blood carriage slowly depart.
As for Rongyue, he did not have any distracting thoughts. He simply treated her as a younger sister.
After the carriage had gone far away, Luo Zheng's fierce gaze swept across the crowded street. Then, his figure flashed and disappeared into the crowd.
"Could it be that this brat discovered us? Just now, he seemed to have looked over on purpose."
"That's impossible. He's only at the Film Forging Realm. How could he have discovered us? Let's go and report back to the Young Marquis."
It was obvious that these two muscular men were at least in the Blood Tempering Realm.
The two of them chatted for a while more before leaving.
"This Bai Xingjian is indeed up to no good. He actually sent someone to follow us. Humph!"
After the two men left, Luo Zheng went out again as he muttered to himself.
"40 Blood Nourishing Elixirs are far from enough for me to reach the peak of the Film Forging Realm. There are only two and a half days left until the end of the season break. It will take me one day to rush back to the Five Beasts Army camp. If I buy a Flood Dragon Blood Warhorse, I can shorten the time by half. That is to say, if I can refine a celestial weapon in two days, I can exchange it for enough elixirs to reach the peak of the Film Forging Realm before the Blood Refining Assessment!"
Luo Zheng walked slowly as he pondered. It was very difficult to refine a low-grade celestial weapon in two days. It was almost impossible.
And this was under the condition that he had the Heart Refining Technique. Normally, an ordinary weaponsmith would need half a month to refine a low-grade celestial weapon if they were fully prepared and went all out.
Moreover, if the time was too tight, there was a high possibility of failure. All the materials would be wasted, and the losses would be great.
However, Luo Zheng did not hesitate. What he needed to do now was to raise his cultivation with all his might and enter the Five Saints Army as soon as possible.
He was not doing this for himself, but for his mother and sister. More importantly, he wanted to clear his father's name!
Luo Zheng was born into a poor family. His family had been poor since he was young. In order to support his cultivation, his family had almost given everything they had.
A year ago, Luo Zheng's father had inadvertently offended a wealthy family in order to obtain a low-grade mortal class Qi Nourishing Pill. He had been framed by the Luo family and sentenced to forty years of hard labor. He had been sent to the Frigid Wasteland to build city walls.
The Frigid Wasteland was the extreme north of the Hundred Battles Dynasty. It was cold all year round and the environment was harsh. Even a powerful Blood Tempering Realm martial artist would not be able to withstand such harsh weather for long periods of time.
Moreover, Luo Zheng's father was only in the Muscle Tempering Realm.
Luo Zheng had entered the Five Beasts Army precisely to clear his father's name. This was because only the martial soldiers of the Five Beasts Army had the opportunity to enter the Five Saints Army and become the personal soldiers of the War Emperor. They were the disciples of the Son of Heaven and had the opportunity to build a career.
As long as he could perform meritorious deeds, Luo Zheng would be able to use his own merits to exchange for an Imperial Golden Talisman to clear his father's name!
"Not only will I clear my father's name, but I will also cut the enemies who framed my father into pieces to avenge my father's death!"
Luo Zheng's eyes flashed with hatred as he thought of his father's suffering in the Cold Light. He walked towards the Martial Market.
An hour later, Luo Zheng walked into an inn specially set up for martial artists with a package in his hand. He asked for a room with a quiet room for refining weapons.
A fist-sized Thunder Gold Essence could be refined into a mid-tier magic tool. However, the time required to refine a mid-tier magic tool was twice as long. If it failed, the loss would be enormous. Luo Zheng also understood the principle of not putting all of his eggs in one basket.
In the quiet room.
"This piece of Thunder Iron Gold Essence is enough to refine three low-grade magic tools."
Luo Zheng calculated in his mind. He opened the package and took out a piece of black iron the size of a forearm.
This was the Ten-thousand-refined Stainless Steel he bought from the Martial Market. After being tempered ten thousand times, this seemingly small piece of Stainless Steel weighed more than 250 kilograms.
In order to buy this piece of material, Luo Zheng had spent ten thousand taels of gold.
He took a deep breath and wrapped the Ten-thousand-refined Stainless Steel with the Star Fire Source. The yellow-gray flame burned fiercely.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In an hour, the whole piece of Ten-thousand-refined Stainless Steel turned into black molten iron. Luo Zheng took out the prepared container from the package and filled it with molten iron.
After being refined by the Star Fire Source, the volume of the Ten-thousand-refined Stainless Steel was almost half of what it used to be.
After a short rest, Luo Zheng continued to refine the Thunder Gold Essence.
Although the Thunder Gold Essence was not as tough as the Blue Fire Crystal, Luo Zheng spent nearly two hours to refine one-third of the Thunder Gold Essence into liquid.
The materials used to refine the Low-grade Celestial Device were relatively simple.
The main material was the Thunder Gold Essence as the embryo, and the auxiliary material was the Ten-thousand-refined Stainless Steel as the embryo. Combining the two materials into one, and then applying the incantation to let it absorb the Spiritual Power of Heaven and Earth, the Celestial Device would gradually produce a special power.
In the quiet room, Luo Zheng kept reciting the incantation. His hands were flying, and one by one, the mysterious incantation was constantly changing. The gray Thunder Gold Essence and the black Ten-thousand-refined Stainless Steel changed into various shapes from time to time.
"Done!"
Time was constantly passing. One day later, a light shout came out from the quiet room.
Above the quiet room, the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth suddenly condensed into a finger-thick thunderbolt and drilled into the dagger in Luo Zheng's hand.
"It's a success. The Heart Refining Method is really extraordinary. It only took me one and a half days to refine this Low-grade Celestial Device!"
Luo Zheng looked at the short saber in his hand with excitement. It was about a foot and a half long and had a single edge. The handle was covered with thunder runes, and on the blade edge, there was a faint silver bolt of lightning that slowly swam about, showing how powerful it was.
Carefully looking at the dagger, Luo Zheng could not help but show a trace of reluctance on his face. After all, this was the first time he had successfully refined a Celestial Device, and it was of great significance.
"Well, with the Blue Fire Sword in hand, this Celestial Device is of little significance to me. I'd better use it to exchange for elixirs to improve my cultivation and save my life. I have the Weapon Refining Volume of the Through Heaven Record. I'm afraid I can't refine a better Celestial Device in the future."
After thinking for a while, Luo Zheng gritted his teeth, packed up, and directly left the inn for the Martial Market.
"Heavenly Fortune Pavilion, here it is!"
Luo Zheng chose a shop with a larger store and walked in.
In addition to selling, these shops were also purchasing.
"I have something to sell, but I don't know which shopkeeper I'm looking for."
Luo Zheng found a shop assistant and expressed his intention.
"Sir, please follow me to the negotiation room."
The shop assistant was very polite. He directly led Luo Zheng to a quiet room on the second floor, served him tea, and asked him to wait for a while before leaving.
Not long after, an old man in black came in. After sitting down, he smiled and said, "My surname is Jia, and I'm an appraiser of the Heavenly Fortune Pavilion. What do you want to sell?"
The old man was very polite, but also very casual. He probably thought that Luo Zheng was too young to take out anything valuable.
"Thank you, Elder Jia."
Luo Zheng nodded indifferently. Without saying anything, he directly took out the dagger and handed it over.
"Celestial Device!"
Whoosh!
Elder Jia directly jumped up from his seat with his eyes wide open. He had been an appraiser of the Heavenly Fortune Pavilion for nearly 20 years and had seen many Celestial Devices. However, it was rare for him to see someone bring a Celestial Device to the Heavenly Fortune Pavilion to sell.
It should be known that even the lowest quality Low-Grade Celestial Device was worth seven to eight hundred thousand gold taels. The one that the young man took out was probably worth more than a million gold taels.
Celestial Devices were now in short supply regardless of which aristocratic family it was. Everyone was scrambling for it. If it was put in the auction house, it could easily be sold for more than half the price.
If it was sold in the shop, it would definitely not reach that price. Therefore, very few people were willing to sell their shop.
"Young Master, may I ask what is the name of this Celestial Device?"
Elder Jia carefully examined the dagger and asked. He even changed the way he addressed Luo Zheng, revealing a trace of respect.
"My master casually made it. He didn't say what it was called. Let's call it Tiger Piercing Dagger."
Luo Zheng already had an idea in his mind. Anyone could see that this dagger was newly made. He couldn't hide it from others, so he had to make up a master to deal with it.
It was better to hide the fact that he had become a Weapon Refiner. A tall tree attracts the wind. It was not a good thing.
"Tiger Piercing Dagger! So it was casually made by your master. No wonder there are some small flaws in some places. "
Realization dawned on Elder Jia, and the expression on his face became even more respectful.
A Weapon Refiner who could casually make low-grade Celestial Devices had amazing skills. It would not be a problem for him to make middle-grade Celestial Devices. He could even make upper-grade Celestial Devices.
The price of any upper-grade Celestial Device was in the tens of millions. Moreover, there was a huge shortage. There was a price but no supply.
If he could curry favor with a Weapon Refiner who could make upper-grade Celestial Devices and establish a long-term partnership, he would prosper in the future.
"Elder Jia, how much can your shop pay for this Celestial Device?"
Luo Zheng only had half a day's time before he had to rush back to the Five Beast Army camp. If the Heavenly Fortune Pavilion's price was not suitable, he would have to ask a few other shops. He did not want to be polite and asked directly.
"Young Master, can you give me some time? I will discuss with the shop owner. As for the price, you can rest assured. I can make the decision. It will definitely not be less than a million taels of gold. It can only be higher!"
Elder Jia did not care about Luo Zheng's attitude. To be accepted as a disciple by a powerful Weapon Refiner, he must have outstanding talent. It was normal for a young man to be arrogant.
"Alright, I can only wait for an hour at most." Luo Zheng saw that Elder Jia was sincere and nodded.
