Over the next few months, Luo Yan visited Ning Qi's cave abode every day, sometimes staying for half a month at a time.
As soon as Ning Qi revealed a bit of the Nine Hells Tempering Art, Luo Yan, a Grand Elder of the Divine Artifact Sect and one of the top three artifact forging grandmasters in the world of immortals aside from the Heavenly Dao Clan, was shocked. With Ning Qi's current artificing skills, refining a mid-grade dao artifact was a piece of cake. As long as he had the spiritual materials, he could refine a mid-grade dao artifact in no more than a year. Luo Yan also had the ability to refine mid-grade dao artifacts, but every mid-grade dao artifact would take at least hundreds or even thousands of years!
If he wanted a better quality dao artifact, it would take at least ten thousand years!
"So runes can be engraved in this way. This way, the power of this dao artifact has increased by at least thirty percent … As expected of the ancient immortal clan's artificing skills."
Luo Yan sighed.
Ning Qi used immortal qi to demonstrate his artificing method, but it only took up less than one percent of the Nine Hell Tempering Art. Luo Yan was amazed. "Fellow Daoist Ning, I heard that you have reached a bottleneck in your artefact-refining technique. I have a good suggestion. The immortal flames that you have integrated with are not of high quality. They can only be regarded as above average in the ranking of immortal flames. Through my observations over the past few days, your bottleneck has been stuck here.
If you have an even better immortal flame, you might be able to make a breakthrough. "
Luo Yan suddenly said.
"Please enlighten me, Daoist Luo."
Ning Qi smiled. He knew that Luo Yan's words might have some other meaning.
"In fact, my Artifact Sect has some connections with the ancient immortal clan. Before the Immortal Fiend War, we had a third step almighty who was extremely skilled in the art of artificing. Legend has it that the third step almighty even refined a connate numinous treasure!"
Luo Yan said with a serious expression.
Connate numinous treasure?
Ning Qi's eyes flashed with surprise. "Did you succeed?" Luo Yan smiled. "I think I failed. There's no record of it in the sect. Later, the old ancestor died in the Immortal Fiend War and our sect declined. But after all these years, no matter how much we declined, our artificing skills have always ranked among the top in the Immortal World. Daoist Ning, do you know why?
Why? "
"Because of the inheritance?"
Ning Qi smiled.
"Inheritances can also be lost." Luo Yan said meaningfully, "It has nothing to do with the inheritance. In the forbidden area of my Divine Artifact Sect, there is a divine mountain. That divine mountain is shrouded in flames all day long. Forging around the divine mountain can increase the chances of success and quality. If you can enter the center of the divine mountain and use the magical flames around it to forge,
However, up until now, I've only been able to reach the waist of the mountain with my cultivation. If I want to reach the center, I'm afraid I'll need to reach the Emperor Realm or even take that step! "
"A divine mountain shrouded in flames …"
Ning Qi's eyes flickered. This should be the core of the Artifact Sect. This was a spiritual land that was extremely helpful for alchemy and refining weapons. He just didn't know if the flames inside could help him break through to the seventh level of the Nine Hell Tempering Technique. "There are records in my sect. It's said that a long time ago, this divine mountain was just an ordinary mountain. Later on, the heavens descended and turned the mountain into what it is today. I'll be blunt about that flame. Even the number one immortal flame in the Immortal World, the 'Heavenly Divine Flame', isn't much stronger than it. It's just that I can't enter until now.
I can't enter the center of the divine mountain and experience it for myself. "
Luo Yan sighed.
"Daoist Luo, may I ask if this mountain has a name?"
Ning Qi felt that what Luo Yan said sounded so familiar, so he asked subconsciously.
"This mountain is called the Blazing Mountain. It's been named since a long time ago. Because the name might have been given by my sect's patriarch, the descendants didn't dare to change it."
Luo Yan smiled.
"Blazing Mountain …"
Ning Qi had a strange look in his eyes.
Was it a coincidence?
Or was it the Blazing Mountain that he knew of?
If it was the latter, then the flames on the Blazing Mountain were indeed not ordinary flames. They were immortal flames that fell from the Old Lord's cauldron when monkey knocked it over!
"Daoist Luo, you should have something else to say. Please go ahead."
Ning Qi said with a smile that was not a smile.
"That … it's like this … I feel that this Blazing Mountain can be of help to Daoist Ning. However, the patriarch said that other than cultivators of my Divine Artifact Sect, outsiders are not allowed to enter the Blazing Mountain. However, as the Grand Elder of my Divine Artifact Sect, the patriarch shouldn't blame me for breaking the rule once in a while. It's just that …"
Luo Yan looked at Ning Qi with some embarrassment. "I wonder if Daoist Ning can impart some of the ancient immortal clan's weaponsmithing arts to me …"
"Is that so … the weaponsmithing arts I have are also a secret that can't be passed down. If the Blazing Mountain can't help me …"
Ning Qi muttered.
"It's fine. I can let Daoist Ning enter the Blazing Mountain first. If it's of help, it won't be too late for Daoist Ning to impart it to me. If not, just treat it as me doing Daoist Ning a small favor. Daoist Ning, just remember this favor …"
Luo Yan hurriedly said.
"That's possible."
Ning Qi nodded slowly.
If the Blazing Mountain was of help to him, he could impart the first three levels of the Blazing Nine Hell Tempering Art. That would be sufficient for him to cultivate. If it wasn't of any help, he would impart the next level to repay the favor.
"I wonder how far is your sect from Asura Planet? How long would the round trip take? "
Ning Qi asked.
"It's not far, not far! My Divine Weapon Sect is located at the border of the Ancient Heavenly Court. However, that place is a grotto-heaven, so it's hard for ordinary people to find it. With me leading the way, a round trip of three to five months should be sufficient. "
Luo Yan immediately spoke.
Right now, he was in a rush to learn Ning Qi's weaponsmithing arts. He naturally hoped that Ning Qi would immediately follow him to the Blazing Mountain.
"At the border? That's good. There's no time to lose, let's set off now. "
Ning Qi smiled.
If the Blazing Mountain was also considered the border, this wouldn't conflict with his advancement mission at all. As for the devil race, Ning Qi believed that there wouldn't be too many changes within a short period of time after the Hanbei Devil Emperor died. Even if there was, he could use the All Heavenly Talisman to instantly return to Asura Planet.
Upon thinking of this, Ning Qi's eyes flashed as he spoke to Luo Yan, "Daoist Luo, is there anyone in your sect who can use the All Heavenly Talisman?"
"Yes."
Luo Yan nodded. "The All Heavenly Talisman is quite useful. Although it can't be compared to a dao artifact, to those disciples, its function is comparable to a dao artifact."
"That's good."
Ning Qi smiled. Even the journey of three to five months could be saved.
After that, he released Kong Xuan and Mo Qian from his Creation Domain.
"Miss Kong Xuan, this place is the Asura Sect. There are three immortal lords guarding this place. From now on, you can stay in my cave abode."
Ning Qi smiled at Kong Xuan.
Kong Xuan's eyes flashed. She glanced at Luo Yan and nodded.
"You should stay here as well. If you can contribute, I can consider restoring your freedom in the future."
Ning Qi then glanced at Mo Qian who was dressed like a maid.
