Outside the mountain gate, there were two rows of Xuanji Hundred Refinement Sect disciples welcoming the guests.
These disciples were dressed in black robes with red flames as their patterns. Their auras were faint – they were all Spirit Refinement cultivators!
"Everyone has come from afar to participate in this Sword Refinement Meet. I am Bai Lianzi and I thank everyone on behalf of my sect … However, our sect's space is limited and we have to set up a barrier. Please don't take offense!"
A tall man who looked like a blacksmith took a step forward and waved his hand. Two paths appeared behind him. "The one on my left is the Thousand Layers Peak. If you want to obtain your fortuitous encounters, please go this way … The one on my right is the Hundred Refinement Path. Master Weapon Refinement, please go this way."
Fu Yun Zi observed silently from below and said in a low voice, "The Thousand Layers Peak is a famous Dharma treasure of Xuanji Hundred Refinement Sect. It is said that ordinary Spirit Refinement disciples can't even lift a mountain … As for the outstanding Spirit Refinement disciples, most of them can lift three mountains! The true disciples of the famous sects, such as the Seven Swords of Tianshan, can lift ninety-nine mountains. They are comparable to low-grade Core Formation patriarchs … Of course, if it's the legendary first-grade Golden Core, they can lift the entire mountain range with their Dharmic powers! Brother, where are you going? "
"I'm quite confident in my weapon refinement skills. Let's go on the Hundred Refinement Path. Farewell …"
Chung Shen-soo laughed.
Of course, he would not lower himself to snatch some flying sword fortuitous encounter from a bunch of cultivators.
He was a Creation Realm patriarch. It was more appropriate for him to be an old grandpa who gave others a cheat.
Furthermore, Xuanji Hundred Refinement Sect wanted to refine spirit treasures. The Sword Refinement Meet they were holding might be related.
As a Weapon Refinement Master, it was easier for him to get close to the truth.
Chung Shen-soo chose the Hundred Refinement Path and walked forward.
There was a faint white fog around him. It was obvious that there was an extremely powerful formation protecting him.
After walking for an hour, a huge door appeared in front of him.
The bronze door was ninety feet tall and covered the sky with a majestic aura.
In the middle of the door, there was a huge copper lock, its surface decorated with nine squares.
"Fellow Daoist, please!"
Right in front of the door, a disciple of Xuanji Hundred Refinement Sect bowed. "Fellow Daoist, since you've chosen this path, you must have some experience in the Dao of weapon refinement. This door uses the Thousand Chance Lock as the hub. If you can open the Thousand Chance Lock, you'll be able to reach the Weapon Refinement Cave of Xuanji Hundred Refinement Sect. Choose an Earth Furnace and begin weapon refinement …"
"Thousand Contraptions Lock?"
Chung Shen-soo had long known that the refiners who chose this path would also be tested, but he didn't expect it to be like this.
'After all, they are all Master Refiners, so they won't test anything else. However, it would be too much to ask them to refine weapons on the spot. This Thousand Contraption Lock can simulate the combination of various physical properties … As a qualified refiner, it is basic homework to know all kinds of physical properties like the back of your hand.
He nodded, stepped forward, and probed the Thousand Chance Lock with his Divine Telekinesis.
He felt as if he was forging a weapon, as if there were countless materials clashing with each other, unable to be reconciled.
Zhong Shenxiu's divine sense stirred. Like a miraculous hand, he untied the messy threads and began to comb through the different combinations of materials within the nine squares, finally bringing them closer to perfection. Primordial Chaos Furnace.
Click!
Snap!
When the final step was completed, the gigantic Thousand Contraption Lock let out the sound of gears rolling. The majestic bronze door opened, revealing a dark red tunnel.
Waves of heat surged over, clearly leading to an extremely hot place.
When Chung Shen-soo saw that, he walked in with an unchanged expression.
The only one left behind was the Xuanji Hundred Refinement Sect disciple with a horrified expression. "To be able to unlock the Thousand Contraption Lock in less than half an incense stick, this person must be a top-notch Weapon Refinement Grandmaster. This time, his name will definitely spread throughout the world! I'm really envious and jealous … "
A moment later, Chung Shen-soo arrived at a hall. There were different fire chambers in all directions, extending in all directions like a gigantic ant nest.
In the middle of the hall, there were a few cultivators waiting. When they saw Chung Shen-soo, their faces were filled with smiles. "Greetings, fellow Daoist. May I know what materials and what kind of Earth Fire are you looking for?"
The materials for the flying swords for the Sword Refinement Meeting were naturally provided by Xuanji Hundred Refinement Sect. As for the refined flying swords, they would choose cultivators who were fated with them.
As a Weapon Refinement Master, the only thing they could obtain was fame.
Of course, there were no materials that were too precious.
If I say that I want treasures like Taiyi Pure Metal or Taiqing Divine Metal … their faces would turn green. I heard that some Weapon Refinement Masters would really go all out and prepare their own precious materials in order to make a name for themselves.
Chung Shen-soo smiled. "My lineage of sword refinement doesn't require any precious materials. The main material is the 10,000 Year Frost Iron. As for the other supplementary materials, they'll be fine."
With that said, he tossed out a jade slip.
When the cultivator saw the names of the supplementary materials, his expression became much gentler. "May I know your name and which Earth Fire chamber you would like to choose, fellow Daoist? From the 11th year onwards, there are a total of 365 Earth Fire chambers that can be used in the Earth Fire Cave."
"Choose the one with the most intense Earth Fire for me."
Chung Shen-soo nodded. "I am … Fu Yunzi!"
"So, it's Fellow Daoist Fu Yunzi. This way, please!"
Immediately, a cultivator in black robes with red patterns led the way and brought Chung Shen-soo to an Earth Fire chamber.
The entire Earth Fire chamber was made of black stones that emitted a cold aura. In the middle were four ferocious beast heads – it was a Dharmic weapon as well!
"The Earth Fire Restriction that our Xuanji Hundred Refinement Sect uses is the Four Pillars Fire Refinement Technique. It's extremely compatible with most weapon refinement techniques …"
The cultivator said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist, you're a little late. There's still three months left until the ceremony. Is that enough?"
"Not bad!"
Chung Shen-soo replied indifferently.
"These are the materials you need. If they're ruined, there's no way for you to find replacements … Of course, you can use other materials if you prepare them yourself. Our sect doesn't need that."
The cultivator smiled and left the Earth Fire chamber.
Chung Shen-soo waved his hand and struck a Dharmic art to seal the door of the chamber. He then looked around. "Every Weapon Refinement Master that can pass the test is actually a free set of materials and a chance to practice? Xuanji Hundred Refinement Sect can be considered a large and wealthy sect. "
He looked at the Earth Fire chamber and confirmed that there was no surveillance before taking a step forward and caressing the Weapon Refinement Platform.
The platform was pitch-black and was extremely sturdy. It was unknown what material was used to refine it.
However, there were still countless mottled marks on its surface.
Those were faint marks left behind by sabers, axes, and even hammers.
Touching it, there was a sense of history, as though he could see the scene of countless Weapon Refinement Masters refining Dharmic weapons and Dharmic treasures here.
"Tsk tsk …"
Chung Shen-soo exclaimed repeatedly, "The foundation here is incomparably deep … or rather, the Dao of weapon refinement is about to condense into Dao marks. Not only that, it's even being absorbed by the ritual below …"
After all, he was a grandmaster of the Dao of weapon refinement and immediately understood something. "Xuanji Hundred Refinement Sect will naturally not harm the Weapon Refinement Masters of the previous Treasure Refinement Conventions. What they're interested in is the foundation left behind by every master who refined Dharmic treasures here. A spirit, an indescribable aura … Little by little, they can turn into Dao marks that can assist in refining treasures. This is the secret technique of Xuanji Hundred Refinement Sect, right? No wonder they have to spend so much money to organize such a grand event every once in a while … "
