But River Styx didn't care. He was all alone and had nothing to worry about. The strength of Elder Jiang Wu and Elder Hong Quan didn't affect him at all. Anyway, after this trip to the Mystery Realm of Earth, he would go to the Central Region. In the Central Region, there were many Chaotic Lingbao. And when he arrived there, River Styx might not have any interaction with these people, so he didn't have to worry about anything.
There were seven halls in Yunling Academy, but there were also eight forces. In addition to the forces of the seven halls, there was a neutral force that drifted away from the seven halls, which was similar to the Branch of Individual Cultivators. This Branch had always been protected by the Dean of the Academy, both in the Eastern Region and the Central Region. And every Dean came from this Branch, and the seven halls had never objected to it. It seemed to be a rule that everyone tacitly agreed with.
This branch was very suitable for Minghe. In this way, Minghe could wander outside the Seven Halls, but he could also mingle with the Seven Halls and use various means to get what he needed. Although it was a little troublesome, at least he would not be controlled by others. He could avoid the power struggles of the Seven Halls and could cultivate wholeheartedly, which was exactly what Minghe wanted.
But now River Styx wanted to get some precious cultivation resources from Elder Jiang Wu and Elder Hong Quan, so he could only exchange them with the Chaotic Lingbao. Besides that, River Styx had nothing that could attract them. After all, in terms of cultivation, they were not inferior to River Styx, and in terms of foundation, they were many times stronger than River Styx. The only advantage that River Styx had was his refining skills.
However, River Styx was not in a hurry to show that he could refine the Chaotic Lingbao. Now there were about 60,000 years before the opening of the Mystery Realm of Earth. River Styx and his Three Separations could use this time to improve their cultivation and understand the formation. Moreover, the Tao Wheel of Heaven and Earth in Qiankun Taoist's hand was still a Chaotic Lingbao. It would take a long time and a lot of refining materials to transform it into a Chaotic Lingbao.
River Styx had already collected all the refining materials. As for the Tao Wheel of Heaven and Earth, it would not take too long for it to transform into a Chaotic Lingbao. After all, the World of Heaven and Earth had now reached the level of a low-level Vast Thousand World. However, Qiankun Taoist was not in a hurry to transform the Tao Wheel of Heaven and Earth. Instead, he devoted himself to the evolution and stability of the World of Heaven and Earth. After all, the World of Heaven and Earth had changed greatly from a Middle Thousand World to a Vast Thousand World.
In this way, 40,000 years passed. During this time, River Styx did not leave his Elders' Hall. The other Elders gradually gave up their attention to River Styx. Some of them were worried that River Styx would play some tricks, and some of them were looking forward to River Styx. However, River Styx had been silent for 40,000 years. He did not take any action, nor did he refine weapons to exchange for various kinds of resources. In their estimation, River Styx was probably in closed-door cultivation. After all, 40,000 years were nothing to a Fate Realm expert.
However, after 40,000 years of silence, one day, a powerful spirit suddenly broke out in River Styx's Elders' Hall. Even with the Sealing Formation set up in the Elders' Hall, some of the spirit still leaked out. This spirit was powerful, ancient, and full of the spirit of Chaos. It also carried a spirit of spirituality. This was the spirit of the birth of the Chaotic Lingbao.
In the Elders' Hall, all the Elders were shocked by this sudden burst of spirit. Obviously, they did not expect that River Styx's refining skills would break through to the Fate Realm 40,000 years after breaking through to the Fate Realm. A new Level Six refining teacher was born. Among the seven Elders, Elder Jiang Wu and Elder Hong Quan were the most expectant. They saw the hope of getting the Chaotic Lingbao.
Before this, Elder Jiang Wu and Elder Hong Quan had almost given up. After all, not long after the Mystery Realm of Earth, they would have to go to Yun Ling Academy in the Central Region. When they reached there, they would naturally be able to get the Chaotic Lingbao that they wanted. However, the price they would have to pay would be much higher than here.
As soon as River Styx's refining skills made a breakthrough, Elder Jiang Wu and Elder Hong Quan immediately left their respective Elders' Halls and walked towards River Styx's Elders' Hall. The other Elders naturally saw their actions, but they could not stop them. Although the Seven Halls fought openly and secretly, they could not stop them from getting the Chaotic Lingbao.
When Elder Jiang Wu and Elder Hong Quan arrived at the door of River Styx's Elders' Hall, they looked at each other and remained silent. Neither of them had the Chaotic Lingbao. Now that River Styx's refining skills had made a breakthrough, they had the opportunity to get the Chaotic Lingbao that they wanted from River Styx. However, River Styx might not be able to refine two Chaotic Lingbao before they went to the Central Region. However, it was still possible for him to refine one Chaotic Lingbao. As a result, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.
"So it's Elder Jiang Wu and Elder Hong Quan. Since the two of you are here, please come in for a chat." River Styx's voice suddenly rang out from within the hall, breaking the awkward atmosphere between Elder Jiang Wu and Elder Hong Quan. The two of them entered the hall one after another. After they entered, the doors to the hall closed again and the sealing formation was activated again. As a result, the people outside naturally could not find out what the three of them were talking about.
After entering the hall, Elder Jiang Wu and Elder Hong Quan saw River Styx sitting on a platform. There were two platforms placed across from River Styx. It was obvious that River Styx had prepared these platforms for the two of them. After the two of them sat down, Elder Jiang Wu smiled and congratulated, "Congratulations Elder River Styx for refining the Chaotic Lingbao. I didn't expect my Daoist Friend's refining skills to have made a breakthrough in just 40,000 years. My Daoist Friend's talent in refining weapons is truly astonishing."
When River Styx heard Elder Jiang Wu's words, he smiled slightly. "Elder Jiang Wu, you're too kind. I only managed to make a breakthrough in my refining skills by chance. Otherwise, I would probably have to wait for a long time before I could refine the Chaotic Lingbao." Right after he finished speaking, River Styx looked at Elder Hong Quan, who was silent at the side, and asked, "I'm afraid the two of you didn't come here just to congratulate me, right?"
When Elder Jiang Wu and Elder Hong Quan heard this, they looked at each other. They didn't expect River Styx to be so direct. However, this was just as well. Elder Hong Quan looked at River Styx and said in a deep voice, "Since Elder River Styx has asked, we'll be direct. I'm sure my Daoist Friend knows that among the seven elders, only Elder Jiang Wu and I don't have the Chaotic Lingbao. Now that my Daoist Friend has made a breakthrough in refining weapons, the two of us would naturally like to ask my Daoist Friend to help us refine the Chaotic Lingbao."
After Elder Hong Quan finished speaking, he stared at River Styx without blinking. There was a hint of anticipation in his eyes. Elder Jiang Wu was the same. Although their cultivation had reached the Manifestation Realm, they didn't have a Chaotic Lingbao. If they met someone of the same cultivation level who had the Chaotic Lingbao, they would naturally be at a disadvantage and might even lose their lives. Therefore, they were eager to get their hands on a Chaotic Lingbao.
This time, when the Mystery Realm of Earth opened, the two of them wanted to enter the Inheritance of Tools Method to try their luck. If they were lucky enough, they might be able to find a Chaotic Lingbao. Although the probability was very small, there was no other way. Now that River Styx was able to refine the Chaotic Lingbao, they naturally turned their hopes to River Styx.
After hearing this, River Styx became thoughtful. The Chaotic Lingbao that broke out before was deliberately done by River Styx. At the moment when the Tao Wheel of Heaven and Earth completed its transformation, River Styx didn't hide it at all and let it break out the Chaotic Lingbao's Chaotic Lingbao. Therefore, some of the Chaotic Lingbao's Chaotic Lingbao leaked out of his Elders' Hall and attracted Elder Jiang Wu and Elder Hong Quan. This was his purpose.
River Styx naturally saw the hidden expectation in their eyes, and then he said, "I know what you are thinking, but I have just made a breakthrough in the art of refining weapons, and I can't guarantee that I can refine the Chaotic Lingbao this time. You also know that it is not easy to refine the Chaotic Lingbao. Besides, I have just broken through to the Creation Realm, and I need time to practice in seclusion, so …"
Hearing that River Styx wanted to refuse them, the two became a little anxious. River Styx made it clear that he wanted to practice in seclusion, but Elder Jiang Wu and Elder Hong Quan also understood that there were only about 20,000 years left before the opening of the Mystery Realm of Earth. Even if he practiced in seclusion, River Styx's cultivation might not be improved much. As long as they were willing to pay him enough, they believed that River Styx would be very willing to give up his practice in seclusion and refine the Chaotic Lingbao for them.
Thinking of this, Elder Jiang Wu said, "Elder River Styx wants to practice in seclusion for nothing more than to improve your cultivation. I am willing to give you ten Heaven Crystals as compensation. If my Daoist Friend can refine a Chaotic Lingbao for me, these ten Heaven Crystals will belong to you. What do you think?" Elder Jiang Wu said as he stretched out his hand, and ten Heaven Crystals appeared in the palm of his hand.
River Styx's eyes lit up when he saw the Heaven Crystals. The Seven Halls had been passed down for so long, and they indeed had a deep foundation. Even in the Yunling Academy of the Eastern Region, they could take out ten Heaven Crystals at once, which really surprised River Styx. Ten Heaven Crystals as compensation for refining the Chaotic Lingbao was a very good deal.
Hearing this, Elder Hong Quan also took out ten Heaven Crystals and said, "I am also willing to give you ten Heaven Crystals as compensation for refining the Chaotic Lingbao for Elder River Styx. What do you think, Elder River Styx?" Seeing that Elder Jiang Wu took out Heaven Crystals as compensation, Elder Hong Quan was naturally anxious. If River Styx agreed to Elder Jiang Wu's request first, his Chaotic Lingbao might be gone.
Seeing this, River Styx said in a deep voice, "Since the two of you are so sincere, I will naturally not decline. As long as there are enough refining materials, I believe we should be able to refine two Chaotic Lingbao in the next twenty thousand years." The refining materials for refining the Chaotic Lingbao were all provided by them, and there were also twenty Heaven Crystals as compensation. River Styx had no reason to refuse.
