"Is that so?"
Hearing Huangfu Jue's grand introduction, Huang Liao started to size up Su Fang. "No wonder the competition is still going on, and the ceremony hasn't been held yet. How can someone become the Eternal Star Son? Looks like you, Huangfu Shaoying, are a good seedling."
Su Fang also bowed to Huang Liao. "No, no. Junior Brother, you were just a bit lucky. That's all. Even now, I still can't figure out how I became the Eternal Star Son. Otherwise, how could I, with my Two Dao Cave Immortal Realm cultivation base, be qualified to step into the inner Dao Rite and become the Eternal Star Son?"
"Low-key, I like low-key people." Huang Liao lifted Su Fang up. "However, I'm also considered an old man. I've been in the Treasure Secret Realm for more than sixty thousand years. Think about the geniuses who became the Eternal Star Sons with me. Some of them have already become powerful existences. I'm the only one who hasn't achieved anything. I can't refine weapons, and I can't cultivate. You have to work hard. Overall, if you don't have talent, you can rely on hard work. But if you can't even work hard, then you're destined to be mediocre like me."
"Thank you for your teachings, Senior Brother. I'll definitely remember it."
Huang Liao laughed at himself. "How can I be qualified to teach others? Compared to you and me, it's just that the time of cultivation is different. I also know that you'll surpass me soon."
At this moment, Huangfu Jue said, "Senior Brother Huang, are Senior Brothers Qingkui and Yuan Yifang still here? I have to bring Junior Brother Shaoying to meet them first. It'll be convenient for cultivation."
"Both Senior Brothers are here. Senior Brother Qingkui is about to succeed in refining the Qing Yuan Cauldron. During this time, many Senior Brothers have gathered here. They won't leave. Go, go."
"Thank you, Senior Brother."
Su Fang followed Huangfu Jue and bowed to Huang Liao before entering the door.
After entering the majestic stone door, there was a scorching aura inside. In front of him was a huge hollow cave with many passages. Other than the scorching aura, there was also a shocking aura of magic treasures.
There was also the Great Pregnant Purple Qi.
If he didn't suppress his right arm and control the Purple Qi Dharma Spirit, he would have already started absorbing all the energy here.
Su Fang could also hear the sound of burning flames coming from the depths of the cave. This place felt like a furnace. The scorching aura was truly astonishing, making it impossible for Su Fang to calm down.
Huangfu Jue looked at the stone door behind him and whispered, "Don't underestimate that Senior Brother Huang Liao. Although his cultivation isn't that great, he is very proficient in refining. Although he hasn't refined any peerless magic treasures, he has made some contributions. Although he can't compare to the Senior Brothers who have mostly cultivated for sixty thousand years, he is still someone who knows everything."
After listening, Su Fang nodded honestly and suddenly asked, "Thank you for your reminder, Senior Martial Brother. Oh right, the two Senior Martial Brothers you mentioned, Qing Kui and Yuan Yifang, are they peerless geniuses in the Treasure Refining Mystic Realm?"
"Of course, they are peerless geniuses. Both of them have cultivated for around fifty thousand years. There are two reasons why we call them Senior Martial Brothers here. First, you know how long they have cultivated, so naturally they are Senior Martial Brothers. Second, the stronger they are, the more powerful they are. Even if they have cultivated for a thousand years, they will still be called Senior Martial Brothers. In the future, keep your eyes open and don't offend any Senior Martial Brothers."
Huangfu Jue led Su Fang to a huge red tunnel that was shrouded in a scorching aura. "The two Senior Martial Brothers Qing Kui and Yuan Yifang are both extraordinary existences. Among the tens of thousands of disciples in the Treasure Refining Mystic Realm, they are one of the top existences. They have refined countless weapons and made a lot of contributions. They have been recognized by Elder Luan and the sect, and they have become the people in charge of the mountain dojos. They have a lot of power. Our daily affairs are handled by the two Senior Martial Brothers, so we can't afford to offend them. Unfortunately, they are not from our Huangfu Dojo. If they were, it would be much more convenient for you and me here."
"Then what about the Qingyuan Cauldron?"
"The Qingyuan Cauldron is a high-grade magical treasure that Senior Martial Brother Qing Kui has been refining for thousands of years. It is a Dao item with the ability to refine weapons. I heard that when he went out to train, he obtained an incomplete refining manual about refining ancient cauldrons. After ten thousand years of studying and experimenting, he finally had a certain level of confidence and began refining the Qingyuan Cauldron."
"That's incredible."
"Of course. Once Senior Martial Brother Qing Kui succeeds in refining the Qingyuan Cauldron, he will have made a huge contribution. In the future, he might even become a special disciple. Step by step, he will walk the path of a refining grandmaster."
"Then let's go take a look."
"Yes, I'll take you to the largest refining space in this dojo. The Celestial Artifact Spirit Pool is at the center. Normally, you can't go there. Only when you need to do so will you get permission from the two Senior Martial Brothers."
As they chatted, the scorching aura in the cave suddenly increased by ten times. Su Fang's aura began to burn.
Huangfu Jue didn't find it strange. After all, Su Fang was only at the Dual Dao Cave Immortal realm. However, he still felt that it wasn't simple. Only Heavenly Immortal realm disciples wouldn't be affected by the scorching aura.
Suddenly, there was a bridge in front of them.
It was a floating bridge in the middle of lava.
Seeing this, Su Fang thought back to what he had experienced in the Silent Flame Desert. That lava waterfall had been so terrifying. If this floating bridge was gone, cultivators who fell into the lava would definitely be burned to death.
Huangfu Jue explained that these lava flames were used to refine weapons. They could burn all kinds of ores, gems, and immortal stones.
Fortunately, walking on the floating bridge wasn't wobbly. Otherwise, it would be even more terrifying.
The floating bridge was a thousand meters long, and there were chains protecting it.
Past the floating bridge was a large door. Activating the medallion, the door swung open.
A huge cave appeared in front of Su Fang in an instant. In front of him, there were three spirit altars built in the cave that were almost like large stoves. Above them were three large cauldrons. The two cauldrons on the left and right were five zhang tall.
As for the cauldron in the center, it was over thirty meters tall.
Around the three cauldrons, there were hundreds of disciples sitting in the air. They didn't even blink as they stared at the cauldron in the center.
Huangfu Jue looked at Su Fang and saw that the latter was filled with shock and only had eyes for the three cauldrons. He couldn't help but sigh, "Our Celestial Pool Peak has dozens of cauldrons. These three cauldrons are the most powerful, especially the cauldron in the center. It's a primordial Dao Artifact. Every peak in our Treasure Artifact Secret Domain has a peerless cauldron like this. Every disciple wants to refine artifacts there, but only the truly powerful disciples and those who have made enough contributions can refine artifacts there.
"Ancient treasures, they really are ancient treasures."
Su Fang's heart was filled with indescribable shock. "I didn't expect the cauldrons for the disciples to be ancient treasures. There are also many of these ancient cauldrons in the Treasure item secret realm. I finally understand how terrifying a large power can be."
He had made the right decision to come to the Constellation of Nine Heavens back then. He didn't regret it at all. Instead, he rejoiced.
From the three cauldrons' auras, Su Fang sensed a shocking amount of Primordial Violet Qi. It was unknown just how many treasures had been born from these three cauldrons.
Huangfu Jue said cautiously, "Don't be in such a rush. I've already notified senior apprentice-brothers Qing Kui and Yuan Yifang. They should still have some matters to attend to. Let's just wait."
"It's a pity I can't see the refining state of the Qing Yuan Cauldron." But Su Fang didn't want to see his senior apprentice-brothers. He wanted to see the refining scene.
"If there's a chance in the future, there will be other cauldrons in other cultivation caves. You have to take it one step at a time." Huangfu Jue brought Su Fang and floated quietly in front of the door.
Su Fang looked behind the three cauldrons and saw two disciples.
They were around thirty years old and wore starry robes. They represented the Treasure Refining Secret Realm. The two of them were naturally Qing Kui and Yuan Yifang. One of them, a horse-faced man, was controlling most of the cauldron's aura. It was likely that he was Qing Kui. Only a refiner could control most of the cauldron's aura.
Looking closely at Qing Kui and Yuan Yifang, the two of them had the aura of peerless geniuses like Chi Yanzi. They were very powerful.
Looking at the hundreds of disciples around them, he couldn't see through their cultivation. None of them were Cave Immortals or Heavenly Immortals.
They were all existences that surpassed the Heavenly Immortal realm. Su Fang could sense that they weren't the strongest or the weakest. They were all powerful experts.
They waited for a few days.
Yuan Yifang suddenly flew over. As for Qing Kui, she was still controlling the cauldron.
"You're here!"
Yuan Yifang and Qing Kui looked very different. Qing Kui had a slender face, while Yuan Yifang had a square face. He had high cheekbones, sword-like eyebrows, and a big nose.
He nodded at Huangfu Jue and then looked sharply at Su Fang. "You're Huangfu Shaoying. Elder Luan just sent me a message saying that the first disciple to become the Eternal Star Son will come here and enter our Treasure Refining Secret Realm. It's you!"
Su Fang immediately bowed. "Disciple Huangfu Shaoying greets senior apprentice-brother. I'm willing to do anything to cultivate in the Celestial Pool Peak from now on. I'll learn the art of refining from senior apprentice-brothers."
"En. Normally, new disciples have to cultivate from the basics. Junior apprentice-brother Jue will teach them what to do and the rules of our Treasure Refining Secret Realm and Celestial Pool Peak. You're also a disciple of Huangfu Dao Sect. You'll cultivate with junior apprentice-brother Jue in the future. He'll help you get used to this place." Yuan Yifang stood with his hands behind his back.
"Don't worry, senior apprentice-brother. Then we won't delay senior apprentice-brother's important matters."
After bowing to Yuan Yifang, Huangfu Jue brought Su Fang out of the central cave.
After leaving, Su Fang felt much more relaxed. This passage also contained a long history of Primordial Violet Qi. To him, this place was a cultivation paradise.
"Don't think that Yuan Yifang is easy to talk to. He won't be merciful when punishing disciples. Back then, when I committed a crime, I ended up in his hands. Fortunately, it's all over now. You probably won't see Qingkui and Yuan Yifang in the future."
They passed through the floating bridge and left this hot passage.
He then brought Su Fang to another passage. At the end of the passage was a cave much smaller than the central cave. There were dozens of disciples refining treasures around several cauldrons.
These cauldrons were all high grade treasures. Although they weren't ancient treasures, their quality wasn't bad.
They then went to the other caves. Most of them were refining treasures. Some of them were guarded by disciples. They were forbidden areas where all kinds of materials were stored. One had to register before entering.
He originally wanted to see the Heavenly Artifact Spirit Pool, but he had no choice. It was something that disciples like him couldn't see.
In the end, he returned to the valley with Huangfu Jue.
Su Fang wasn't a spoiled brat. Whichever cave Huangfu Jue told him to enter, he would obediently listen.
He could be considered to have a cave like the one in the Treasure Refining Secret Realm. It was just that the location was ordinary. This was the difference in status.
