"Sir Xiao, this is Senior Yun, a Rank 4 Grandmaster. He should be able to satisfy your requirements."
Li Xiuhai introduced Senior Yun to Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen nodded and asked, "Senior Yun, have you seen my saber?"
Senior Yun said proudly, "I have. It is a peak inherited Dao Tool. This old man believes that I can refine a Dao Tool of this level again."
Xiao Chen looked at Senior Yun somewhat suspiciously. Based on Senior Yun's expression, it seemed like he did not recognize the Tyrant Saber's origins.
"Boss Li, please step back for a while."
Li Xiuhai did as he was told, performing a cupped-fist salute and leaving. He did not know what Xiao Chen was up to.
"This saber of mine is not an ordinary inherited Dao Tool. Senior Yun, you can take a closer look." Xiao Chen made an inviting gesture.
Seeing Xiao Chen so serious, Senior Yun's expression turned grave. Then, he grasped the scabbard and carefully examined it.
Lightning-attributed. It has been passed down for a long time. What else is there?
Senior Yun looked at Xiao Chen and said, "Young Master Xiao, please draw the saber."
"Clang!"
Xiao Chen drew the Tyrant Saber with a backhand motion. A spot of cold light flowed down and gathered at the saber's tip, looking like a flickering icy star.
Senior Yun's expression changed slightly. Then, he gently flicked the saber with his finger.
A melodious saber hum rang out, and the saber hummed. Then, Senior Yun heard something else amid this humming.
Those were the cries of countless tyrannical, powerful bladesmen before they died.
"This is that Misfortune Saber!"
Senior Yun finally recalled it. Then, he looked at Xiao Chen in shock. "Young Master Xiao, you are really bold. Despite knowing the origins of this saber, you still dare to use it. This saber is not very auspicious. Anyone who wields this saber will eventually achieve hegemony. However, they will not have a good ending, dying a violent death. "
Xiao Chen said indifferently, "That is because they do not understand the Hegemonic Dao. Senior Yun, are you confident of modifying this saber for me?"
Senior Yun smiled and said, "Why not? How do you want to modify it? Just say it. "
Xiao Chen sheathed his saber and opened his palm. The Grand Unity Divine Lightning appeared in his hand.
"Taiyi Profound Bomb!"
Old Yun was startled. He grabbed Xiao Chen's hand and said excitedly, "Bring it over. Do you have more?"
Xiao Chen jumped in fright and quickly retracted the Taiyi Divine Lightning. Was there something wrong with this old man?
"Sorry, sorry, I was too excited. You don't know how excited we, as refiners, are when we see such a magical item that only exists in legends. I've been stuck at the fourth level of the supreme power realm for many years … "
Xiao Chen asked curiously, "This thing is deliberately helping Senior advance?"
"Advancing might not be possible, but you will definitely gain a lot. Are you thinking of merging the Taiyi Divine Lightning with the Tyrant Saber? It was a good idea. In this way, the Domineering Saber might grow into a Taiyi Dark Weapon in the future. There will be unlimited possibilities in the future! "
The more Elder Yun spoke, the more excited he became. He rolled up his sleeves, ready to start refining now.
Xiao Chen smiled embarrassedly and said, "I say, Elder, there's no need to be so agitated."
"Hahaha! You do not understand the Blacksmithing Dao. Naturally, you do not understand my current feelings. Right now, I feel like you found a supreme and profound Saber Technique and can't wait to practice it. "
Elder Yun guffawed and said, "Since it is merging the Taiyi Divine Lightning, I will not take your payment. After all, this is my first time doing this. Instead, I will be gaining experience for myself."
When Xiao Chen heard that, he rejoiced. This was great. He could save a lot of resources.
A Rank 4 Grandmaster refiner would be very remunerative. Two hundred thousand Primeval Heavenly Pills would probably be astronomical.
"However, I cannot help you pay for the other supplementary materials," Elder Yun said.
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry. I will get Li Xiuhai to make arrangements. Elder Yun, this way, please. When I rented this courtyard, I specifically requested for a suitable refiner."
After handing the Taiyi Profound Lightning and the Tyrant Saber to Elder Yun, Xiao Chen said seriously, "I'll leave the rest to Elder Yun. I want to activate the strand of soul in the Tyrant Saber and improve my Thunder Great Dao."
"No problem. I will do my best." Sparks flickered in Elder Yun's eyes, appearing incredibly excited.
Xiao Chen frowned to himself. He did not know whether this would work or not.
Shaking his head, Xiao Chen stopped thinking about it. A Rank 4 Grandmaster was already extremely incredible. If not for the Nine Cauldron Pavilion, Xiao Chen would not be able to find a Rank 3 Grandmaster by himself.
"Sir Xiao, what instructions do you have?"
Li Xiuhai walked over with a smile. Now, he firmly believed that Xiao Chen was the God of Fortune. It would not be wrong to befriend him.
Xiao Chen made a list of all the supplementary materials needed for refining and handed them to the other party.
Li Xiuhai took a casual glance and said that there was no problem. Then, he pretended to say casually, "Recently, the Heavenly Lodging Palace's matter caused a huge commotion in Ancient Desolate Town. I wonder if Sir Xiao has heard of it?"
Xiao Chen's expression did not change as he said, "What is it? Tell me."
Does this fellow really not know?
Li Xiuhai could not see any suspicion in Xiao Chen's expression. He felt somewhat disappointed as he continued, "I don't know what the Heavenly Lodging Palace discovered in Desolate God Valley. They actually sealed off the place and turned it into a forbidden zone. The four nearby Rank 6 sects — the Ruling Sword Gate, the Northern Mountain Academy, the White Sun Sect, and the Wolf Smoke Pavilion — could not hold back and sent their elites over. "
Xiao Chen exclaimed in shock, "To think that there is such a thing. The Nine Cauldron Pavilion is considered one of the top three merchant associations in the entire Central Great Realm. They can be considered a super faction, but they did not make any moves? "
Li Xiuhai said embarrassedly, "Sir Xiao, you must be joking. The Nine Cauldron Pavilion of this Ancient Desolate Town is nothing compared to us. Just in the northern region alone, there are three ranks above me. How could I be in the mood to join in on the excitement? Even if I wanted to, I could not. "
The last sentence was clearly directed at Xiao Chen. Li Xiuhai felt that there should be an expert behind Xiao Chen.
If Xiao Chen was willing, their Nine Cauldron Pavilion was willing to form an alliance with him and investigate the situation together.
Xiao Chen thought to himself, Sly old fox. Then, he smiled and said, "Boss Li, you are too humble. That will be all. I will not send you off."
Li Xiuhai turned his head back and discovered that Xiao Chen had already sent him to the courtyard without him realizing it.
Li Xiuhai could not help feeling depressed. He had not gotten anything out of Xiao Chen yet.
However, Li Xiuhai could only give up now. He performed a cupped-fist salute and said, "Sir Xiao, come over often when you have time. I'll get someone to deliver the items on this list tomorrow."
"Take care."
After the other party left, Xiao Chen immediately withdrew his smile.
The plan worked. They had finally stirred up the waters. Other than the four sixth-grade sects, there were probably many other hidden forces and powerful individuals.
They all wanted to see what exactly the Heavenly Lodging Palace discovered.
Given this, the Heavenly Lodging Palace no longer had any hope of monopolizing the spoils.
"The muddier the waters, the better."
Xiao Chen thought to himself. Then, he closed the door and returned to the cultivation room to prepare for his breakthrough.
Since Xiao Chen intended to get involved in this mess, he needed to improve his strength further. Otherwise, he would not be sufficient before a Sovereign Personage.
Even if an ordinary Initial Perfection Sovereign Personage came, Xiao Chen would not be a match for them. He would only be able to barely flee.
If Xiao Chen did not raise his strength, he could only watch the excitement and be a bystander in this mess.
"Seven Apertures Cloud Breaking Pill!"
Xiao Chen took out the Medicinal Pill and entered deep thought.
Given Xiao Chen's situation, even without the help of a Rank 4 Heavenly Pill, breaking through to Holy Venerate was just a matter of time.
If not for the situation changing, breaking through naturally would have been the best for Xiao Chen.
However, the situation was urgent. He could not care so much.
After placing the Primeval Heavenly Pill in the Spirit Gathering Formation below, Xiao Chen sat in the center of the formation in the air.
"Open!"
Xiao Chen gently tapped the Spirit Gathering Formation, and the Primeval Heavenly Pill turned into extremely pure Spiritual Energy, spreading throughout the entire cultivation room.
Xiao Chen's hands did not stop moving, continuously pouring in Primeval Heavenly Pills into the Spirit Gathering Formation.
After the Spirit Gathering Formation spun one hundred times and the Spiritual Energy in the cultivation room turned into clouds, Xiao Chen stopped pouring in Primeval Heavenly Pills.
As Xiao Chen looked at the Spiritual Energy above him that looked like real clouds, he sighed, "How extravagant!"
For the sake of raising the Spiritual Energy in the room to the level of the Heaven Dragon Palace's Profound Dragon Platform, Xiao Chen used a total of one hundred thousand Primeval Heavenly Pills.
All this was for the sake of a smooth and perfect breakthrough.
Furthermore, this was just the beginning.
Purple Thunder Divine Incantation!
Demonic Cloud Heaven Swallowing Art!
Xiao Chen circulated two kinds of energy at the same time. Then, he opened his mouth and directly swallowed one hundred thousand Primeval Heavenly Pills.
The Primeval Heavenly Pills all turned into liquid. Xiao Chen was like a whale swallowing the sea, continuously absorbing this vast Veritable Essence Energy.
If an ordinary person were here, they would definitely faint from fright.
If a Star Venerate absorbed such a vast amount of Primeval Heavenly Pills, his body would explode and he would die on the spot.
However, Xiao Chen did not fear this. His physical body was like a bottomless pit, greedily absorbing the Spiritual Energy.
The whirlpools formed by the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation and the Demonic Cloud Heaven Swallowing Art were like black holes in his body, continuously digesting and turning the Spiritual Energy into Veritable Essence Energy.
"Boom!"
The two Veritable Essence Energies intersected, and the primal chaos Veritable Essence Energy spun continuously.
Xiao Chen sat down, and a mottled Taiji diagram appeared. Black and white Yin-Yang fish chased each other in the diagram.
When they reached a balance, Xiao Chen felt his physical body swell up slightly. He knew that he had already reached his limit.
Xiao Chen closed his mouth and stopped absorbing the Primeval Heavenly Pills.
After refining for a while, he opened his mouth again and swallowed the Seven Apertures Cloud Breaking Pill.
When the Medicinal Pill entered Xiao Chen's mouth, the Medicinal Energy ignited in that instant. Then, it quickly exploded in a way that Xiao Chen did not expect.
"Boom!
Boom! "First, an intense explosion came from Xiao Chen's Soul Pool. Following that, an even more horrifying explosion came from his 9-Star Primal Core.
"Pu ci!" Xiao Chen vomited a mouthful of blood. Intense pain filled his entire body. Blood flowed from his eyes, nose, mouth, and mouth, and he nearly fainted in that instant.
Xiao Chen could not help feeling startled. I was too anxious. I was still overconfident.
He thought that with so many resources, Rank 4 Heavenly Pills, and his outstanding talent, it would be a piece of cake for him to break through the bottleneck of the Holy Venerate Stage.
It should have been a piece of cake. There should have been no need to worry.
Unexpectedly, while he broke through the bottleneck, he nearly exploded to death. He could not stabilize the Soul Energy and Veritable Essence Energy that continuously poured into him after advancing to Holy Venerate.
Oh no!
Just as Xiao Chen calmed himself and put in all his effort, a cold snort suddenly rang out in his heart.
Trash! Trash! To think that breaking through to Holy Venerate still requires so much effort. I must have been blind to have chosen you as my successor! "
