Since Zhang Yan was able to kill both Guo and Pang, it was obvious that his magical powers were not ordinary and could not be underestimated.
Even the three elders of the Zhen Luo Union had to give him face. Even if they could not use him to help the union, they did not want to offend him over such a small matter.
After the three of them came to a conclusion, Che Zi Yi ordered someone to send a message to him, agreeing to lend the Earthly Fire Heavenly Cauldron to him. At the same time, he also sent a Daoist child to Wei Shudan and Liang Changgong to pass down a decree, ordering the two to help Zhang Yan forge the treasure together and not to disobey.
After Liang Changgong received the decree, he did not object.
Although Wei Shudan was a little dissatisfied, he was able to reach his current position because the union did their best to nurture him. How would he dare to disobey the orders of the elders? He also hurriedly agreed.
However, he hadn't seen Zhang Yan before this, so he didn't know exactly what sort of Magic Treasure material he wanted to refine. At this moment, he didn't care about face any longer and took the initiative to go to the Liang Estate, and only after he inquired about it did he obtain an understanding.
Although the two of them were experts in forging, treasures like the remains of a great demon were hard to find in the world and they had never forged it before. If there was any damage during the forging process, neither of them could afford to bear the responsibility. Therefore, they had to do their best.
After communicating for a while, the two of them ordered their disciples to split up and buy the treasures they needed.
Because they needed a lot of things, some of them had to go to Ping Dong and deep in the mountains and ravines to collect. Therefore, the two mansions had a total of more than a hundred disciples running to and fro, other matters were delayed.
This movement was huge and everyone in the Zhen Luo Union knew that the two grandmasters were going to forge a treasure together. Immediately, it caused quite a commotion. After the news spread, many forging experts came from far away just to observe the two's forging methods.
When Zhang Yan found out, he was not surprised.
He already knew in his heart that forging a good treasure was not something that could be done in a year and a half. In such a long period of time, and at the same time, with the help of the Earthly Fire Heavenly Cauldron, it was impossible to hide it from others. Therefore, when the treasure was being forged, he still needed to watch from the side. This was to prevent any mistakes from happening.
If someone was secretly coveting it, there was no need to think too much. They could only kill it.
Ever since he entered this island, he had not gone out. He had only focused on cultivating in the Dao Palace, waiting for the right time to refine treasures.
With his current level of cultivation, absorbing ordinary Spiritual Qi was no longer of much benefit to his cultivation. Fortunately, this island was located at the top of the clouds. There was a mountain peak that broke through the extreme heavens, drawing in the Heroic Heavenly Sand from beyond the heavens, enough for him to cultivate.
That day, he woke up from his meditative state as usual. When he was about to start studying the Five Elements Escape Technique, he suddenly heard a sound coming from outside. "Is Zhenren Zhang here? I am Liang Changgong, and I would like to see you, Immortal. "
Zhang Yan became spirited and said with a smile, "So it's Fellow Daoist Liang who has come to visit. Please come in and talk."
Liang Changgong stepped inside. This time, he was not alone. There was another cloth-robed elder beside him. After seeing Zhang Yan, he took the initiative to step forward and clasped his hands, saying loudly, "Greetings Daoist Zhang, I am Wei Shudan. Greetings. "
Zhang Yan saw that he was tall and had arms that reached his knees. His face was fair and beardless, his head was like a sharp awl, and his long hair draped over his shoulders. His appearance and dressing were different from ordinary people, so he subconsciously took a few more looks and said, "So you are Fellow Daoist Wei. I have long heard of your name, I will have to trouble the two of you to refine the treasures this time. "
Wei Shudan hurriedly said, "What are you saying, Daoist Zhang, I dare not not do my best."
Liang Changgong said, "You are too polite, Daoist Zhang. The two of us came here today for this matter. Now that all the treasures are ready, we just don't know when is the best time to open the furnace?"
Zhang Yan thought for a moment and asked, "Is there a reason for this?"
Liang Changgong replied, "If it's a normal furnace, it still needs to be in accordance with the time and sacrifice demons, but the Earth Fire Heavenly Furnace doesn't need to be so particular. However, the first fire requires Daoist Zhang to use his own blood as a sacrifice. After the furnace fire burns for seven days, the two of us can start refining it."
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "If that's the case, there's no time like the present. I will now follow the two of you to open the furnace fire."
He rolled up his sleeves and wrapped up a strong current. The two of them were brought in by him and flew through the air, leaving Feiyu Daoist Palace in the blink of an eye.
The place where the Earth Fire Heavenly Furnace was located was in Mount Luqi, five hundred miles away from Twin Moon Peak. To prevent intruders from trespassing, there were also sky lanterns hung around the area and disciples were arranged to patrol day and night.
In just a moment, Zhang Yan arrived at the mountain. He retracted the strong current and the three of them landed on a mound.
Liang Changgong pointed to the front and said, "Daoist Zhang, is this Earth Fire Heavenly Furnace to your liking?"
Zhang Yan looked into the distance and saw a sinkhole that was thousands of hectares in size. There were more than a hundred Earth Breath Fire Veins under the Heavenly Furnace, surrounded by white soil paste to prevent the fire from leaking out. The inside was separated by stones like a cage, and there were a total of three hundred and sixty-five rooms, which corresponded to the number of Heavenly Cycles. When refining a transcendent artifact, the size of the treasured materials could be changed at will.
However, even Yuanying cultivators would find it difficult to change the landscape of a mountain.
This Heavenly Furnace was created by the joint efforts of two Grotto-Heavens.
These two great cultivators were a pair of Dao companions. Their original sect had long been annihilated by the Shaoqing Sect, so they retreated to the land of Pingxi. After a few decades, hundreds of cultivators came here and established the Zhen Luo Union, worshiping the two of them. Now that hundreds of years had passed, one of the Grotto-Heavens had passed away, and the other was also near the end of his lifespan. If the Zhen Luo Union was not at that critical juncture of life and death, they probably wouldn't have appeared.
At this moment, there was a movement in the sky, and several people dressed in golden robes came from afar. They stood in the clouds and looked down.
Liang Changgong glanced over and said in surprise, "Brother Wei, look at that person. Is he Hua Zhaofang from the Golden Soaring Sect?"
Wei Shudan looked up and exclaimed in surprise, "It's him, why is he here too?"
Zhang Yan turned around and asked, "Do the two of you know this person?"
Liang Changgong replied respectfully, "This person is an expert in refining artifacts from the Pingdong Golden Soaring Sect. In terms of ability, he's probably not inferior to us."
Wei Shudan shook his head and sighed. "We don't know what treasure we're going to refine, but we definitely can't hide it from this person."
They understood that although the news of the two of them working together to refine a transcendent artifact had spread far and wide, outsiders only knew a little about it. No one knew what exactly they were going to refine.
However, Hua Zhaofang was different. Just from the many precious materials they bought, it could be seen that the refinement this time was not comparable to the previous ones.
At this moment, the leader of the group in the clouds also noticed Zhang Yan and the others. He immediately recognized Liang Changgong and Wei Shudan, but he had no intention of coming down to greet them. After watching for a while, he left.
Zhang Yan looked in the direction where those people went and revealed a thoughtful expression. After a while, he looked away Just Now.
At the same time, in the Feiyu Daoist Palace.
Shang Teng sat cross-legged on a cattail hassock with a gloomy expression. He seemed to be thinking about an extremely difficult matter. In the end, he snorted heavily and looked up at the sky. He muttered to himself, "If I don't accept the gift of Heaven, I'll be punished instead."
He flicked his sleeve and threw out a talisman. He ordered the Daoist boy beside him, "Boy, take my talisman and summon Lihua."
The boy received his order and left. In less than the time for an incense stick to burn, a gorgeous young woman arrived in the hall and knelt on the ground. "Lihua greets the Ancestor."
Shang Teng said in a low voice, "Get up. You're the most intelligent and quick-witted amongst the juniors in the clan. I have something for you to do now."
Shang Lihua still knelt on the ground and said, "Please instruct me, Ancestor."
Shang Teng nodded with satisfaction and said, "You're able to come up."
Since he joined the Zhen Luo Alliance 400 years ago, his juniors and disciples had spread out here. Now, it had become one of the top clans on Twin Moon Peak.
There were over 10,000 disciples in the Shang Clan, but only a few of them were able to catch his attention, and Shang Lihua was one of them.
Moreover, this woman was extremely talented in the path of cultivation. She'd already cultivated to the Enlightened Qi Realm at the age of 17, and her future was limitless.
Shang Lihua stood up and walked forward. When she came close, Shang Teng whispered a few words, and then he took out a sleeve pouch and gave it to her. "All my instructions are in there. You can open it after you're done, and you'll know what to do next."
Shang Lihua took it with both hands and said respectfully, "Lihua will not let you down."
Shang Teng stroked his beard and smiled, "Alright, go."
After Shang Lihua left the Palace and returned to the residence, she immediately summoned a few strong men and maidservants. They got on the carriage and headed towards Mount Deer Qi.
The group of people set off at the end of the five o 'clock. Just Now, they'd arrived at the foot of the mountain.
The maidservant outside the carriage asked softly, "Wife, is this place okay?"
Shang Lihua lifted the curtain and walked out. She took a look and circled around before saying, "If we go any further, we'll arouse suspicion. Let's go here."
The maidservant waved her hand and a strong man came out with an object. It was about two feet high and wrapped in yellow silk, but it was not clear what it was.
Two servants took the shovel and walked to the front and started digging the soil. They were all used to doing farm work, so it didn't take long for them to dig a hole that could fit a jar. They then carefully buried the object and covered it with soil, trying to compact it.
Shang Lihua looked again and saw that there were no flaws, so she said, "Let's go."
They came by carriage and didn't fly. They didn't stay for long before they left, so they didn't attract the attention of the patrolling disciples.
The carriages went south for dozens of miles. After passing a mountain ridge, Shang Lihua opened the sleeve bag in the carriage and took out a letter according to Shang Teng's instructions. After opening it and reading it, her expression changed slightly, but she quickly calmed down.
She took out a small sword from the bag and chanted a few incantations. Finally, she said, "Go."
A silver light flashed and the small sword flew out of the carriage. Screams of agony could be heard from outside, but after a while, it quieted down.
Shang Lihua stepped out of the carriage and looked around. She saw that all the maidservants and strong men were killed and turned into a pool of thick blood.
She took a deep breath and took out another item. She tossed it on the ground, and a cloud of smoke dissipated, revealing a flying cloud carriage.
She took three steps and two steps and got on the carriage. After sitting down, she picked up the talisman and shook it. The carriage shook lightly and flew into the clouds. It turned into a ray of moonlight and flew towards the east.
