Several days later.
The group led by Qin Fen safely arrived at Sword Peak.
Sword Peak was originally a mountain high in the clouds. After the sword realm was discovered, a small city was developed around the mountain. Every time the sword realm opened, the city was bustling with activity.
However, Sword Peak City wasn't like the High Seas City. It wasn't a public city and wasn't even managed by anyone. It was completely developed for the sword realm as a place to trade and rest.
"Brother Qin, Nan Ming Temple is still following us. What should we do now?" Qi Longxing's expression was grave.
Now that White Browed and the others had safely escorted Qin Fen to Sword Peak, their mission was considered complete and they didn't owe Qin Fen anything. However, there were still several days before the sword realm opened. Qin Fen scanned the area with his consciousness and didn't find Senior Xin Hai.
If White Browed and the others left now, Qin Fen would die unless he hid in the astral space.
He naturally couldn't hide in the astral space. That would be the end of Li Shanshan and Qi Longxing. Just as he was about to suggest making pills for everyone for free, Ge Erdan stood up and said, "Alchemy Monarch Qin, I see that the sword realm hasn't opened yet and Nan Ming Temple is hiding nearby. I'm willing to follow you and leave after you enter the sword realm."
Qin Fen was grateful. As expected, there were many people who valued relationships and loyalty among the demon cultivators.
With Ge Erdan taking the lead, a few more people stood up.
"I have nothing to do recently anyway. Why don't I follow Alchemy Monarch Qin and learn more about herbs?"
"I wonder if Alchemy Monarch Qin can help me make a few more cauldrons of pills? I can provide you with two sets of Spirit Grass, and we'll split the refined pills in half. "
"I was planning to challenge the sword realm and go in with Alchemy Monarch Qin."
A total of 29 powerhouses escorted Qin Fen to Sword Peak. In the end, 19 stayed. Seven body condensation cultivators left, two cauldron filling states bid farewell, and Cang Long from East Dragon Palace also left.
Qin Fen didn't ask them to stay. Their previous agreement had been fulfilled. They wouldn't feel sorry if they left on their own. When Cang Long left, Qin Fen promised him that once he became a level-nine level seven pill king, he would go to East Dragon Palace to help him make pills.
Qin Fen was very grateful to the 19 almighty seniors who stayed behind. He refined two cauldrons of pills for each of them for free as a way to repay their kindness.
Although Qin Feng's forces were slightly weaker, overall, they were still incredibly powerful. In fact, they could be considered one of the top forces in the entire South Flat Continent.
The cultivators of the Nan Ming Palace had been lurking around the sword peak. When they saw that Ge Erdan and the others were going to stay at the sword peak, they did not have any temper.
When all the pills were refined, there were still five days before the Sword Domain opened. Qin Fen booked an inn in Jianfeng City. When Gerdan and the other nineteen almighties appeared together, the owner of the inn was given a huge fright.
After arranging everything, Qin Fen planned to go into seclusion for five days and meet up with Senior Xin Hai on the day that the Sword Domain opened. However, it was a little rushed for him to break through in just five days, so he took out his ruler and started studying it.
This strange stone that looked like a ruler was bought by Qin Fen at an auction in the eighty kilometer city for ten million spirit stones. At that time, all the cultivators thought that Qin Fen had made a loss. Even a thousand spirit stones would be expensive for such an inconspicuous stone.
However, only Qin Fen knew the secret hidden in this stone. Back then, it was also because of the strong reaction from the Spirit Seeking Bug. Otherwise, even he would not have been able to discover the secret in this stone.
Qin Fen had studied the ruler before. When he scanned it with his divine senses, it was like a boundless black hole world. Moreover, that space gave Qin Fen an extremely mysterious and unfamiliar feeling. He was sure that it was his first time coming into contact with that kind of space. Although this ruler was only one and a half meters long, he did not know what material it was made of. It was extremely heavy.
Now that he picked up the ruler again, Qin Fen also found it extremely difficult. It was as if the longer he held it in his hand, the heavier the stone became.
"What the hell is this thing? What does the Spirit Seeking Bug see in it? "Qin Fen could not help but complain.
After a while, he realized that the ruler was as heavy as a mountain. Helplessly, he could only put the ruler on the ground.
When Qin Fen had first obtained this ruler, he had fantasized that he would one day wield it and go on a killing spree. Now, this thought had almost disappeared. If he really encountered a battle between Venerable Ones, wouldn't carrying such a heavy piece of rock be suicidal …
"Master, there are many seals on the ruler. Try to break the seals first." Little Pig said.
Qin Fen thought so too. He planned to use these five days to try to break the seals on the ruler. Previously, he realized that the seals on the ruler could only be broken by smithing techniques. Using formations was useless.
"Looks like I have to learn smithing first." Qin Fen sighed.
He was only 30 years old, but he was already a Level 5 Level 7 Pill King. He was also a Level 6 Formation Master. His cultivation level was at Nihility God Realm Level 3. His true strength could kill early stage Body Condensation Stage cultivators. He was about to embark on the path of smithing again.
Even Qin Fen was shocked by his own talent. He believed that there would not be a second cultivator like him in the North Sand Continent and South Flat Continent. As for whether or not there were any geniuses like him in the West Sea Continent and East Field Continent, it was hard to say.
"Ding! Congratulations Host Qin Fen, you have spent 500,000 Hedonist Points and successfully purchased "The Encyclopedia of Smithing". Host's total Hedonist Points: 829,000 Hedonist Points. "
"Gentle reminder: Host will only need to spend 1,700,000 Hedonist Points to upgrade to Rank 9 Hedonist Mortal. When the time comes, new system functions will be unlocked. Please look forward to it!"
… …
Qin Fen entered the system and bought "The Encyclopedia of Pill Refinement".
"The Encyclopedia of Pill Refinement", "The Encyclopedia of Pill Refinement" and "The Encyclopedia of Formation" belonged to the same category. They were all priced at 500,000 Hedonist Points in the system. Ever since he obtained "The Encyclopedia of Pill Refinement" and "The Encyclopedia of Formation", Qin Fen realized that spending 500,000 Hedonist Points on these types of secret manuals was definitely worth it …
The system also notified Qin Fen about leveling up to Rank 9 Hedonist Mortal. Qin Fen couldn't help but feel excited. However, he was still 900,000 Hedonist Points away from leveling up. It would be difficult for him to gather the required amount in a short period of time.
Qin Fen thought of Tiantong City, the place where the South Flat Continent's Genius Conference was held. It was the largest public city in the South Flat Continent, and the City Lord's identity was a mystery. The four elders of the city all had systems, and their system levels were even higher than Qin Fen's.
Qin Fen still didn't know what system the four elders of Tian Ming City had. Why did they help him escape? Was it because of his identity as the person who avoided the calamity?
There were many things that he couldn't figure out. In the end, Qin Fen decided not to think too much about it. What he needed to do now was to settle the matter at hand. When he calmed down, he took out the smithing materials from the system, and they piled up into a small hill by his feet.
"I didn't expect to collect so many smithing materials in less than three years since I came to the Divine Continent." Qin Fen was stunned by the scene in front of him.
This was mainly because he didn't like smithing. Most of the smithing materials he collected were piled up in his storage ring, and most of the spiritual herbs he collected were used to concoct pills.
With so many smithing materials for him to practice with, Qin Fen didn't have any worries.
He activated the Creation Chapter and flipped through the "Encyclopedia of Smithing". The originally abstruse explanations in the secret book seemed to have turned into simple pictures that flashed through Qin Fen's mind and were deeply engraved in his mind.
This kind of reading speed could be described as ten lines at a glance. In less than a day, Qin Fen finished reading the beginner chapter of the "Encyclopedia of Smithing" and had a deep understanding of the smithing process and tricks of smithing weapons and spiritual tools.
Both smithing and smithing required cauldrons, but cauldrons were slightly different.
Smithing required a pill cauldron to prevent the spiritual qi in the herbs from dissipating and affecting the quality and medicinal properties of the pills. Smithing required a weapon cauldron to make it convenient for smithing weapons.
Qin Fen didn't have a weapon cauldron specifically for smithing. Not long ago, he saw a low-grade weapon cauldron being auctioned at the Eighty Mile City Auction. However, he didn't think about smithing at that time, so he missed a great weapon cauldron.
However, he did have a few low-grade weapon cauldrons in his storage ring. These were the spoils of war he got from killing people. In fact, the storage rings he got from robbing people contained all kinds of treasures. However, those things were too low-grade, so Qin Fen didn't care about them at all.
Right now, Qin Fen was only practicing smithing the lowest level weapons, so he didn't have high requirements for weapon cauldrons. He compared them and finally took out a light blue weapon cauldron with a water dragon carved on it. This was the beginning of his smithing journey.
This was Qin Fen's first time smithing without the help of the system. In the beginning, it was difficult to get started. The complicated smithing steps and strict fire control caused Qin Fen to overmelt the materials a few times and turn them all into waste.
However, he didn't give up. Instead, he became more and more enthusiastic. The materials under his feet disappeared at a rapid speed, and Qin Fen's smithing results gradually changed from failure to weapon smithing …
The "Encyclopedia of Smithing" had an introduction to the levels of weapons. On the Divine Continent, the lowest level weapons were weapons, and blacksmiths who could make weapons were called weaponsmiths.
Above that were spirit weapons, and the corresponding blacksmiths were called spirit weapon grandmasters.
Above that were true weapons, and true weapons grandmasters.
As for immortal weapons, Qin Fen didn't look at them in detail because the highest level of weapons on the Divine Continent was the highest level. Although there were legends of immortal weapons, it was just a legend. At least, Qin Fen had never seen an immortal weapon on the Divine Continent.
Three days later, Qin Fen's smithing skills had stabilized at the weaponsmithing level. His success rate in smithing weapons had reached 50%.
In reality, this kind of success rate was already considered to be at the bottom of the Tool Refiners. However, Qin Feng had only spent three days to go from a Tool Refiner novice to a Weaponsmith. This kind of godly speed was already unbelievable.
