222: Uncle-Master, this isn't just enchanting, it's rewriting the heavenly laws!
Myriad Dao Divine Mountain, Martial Arts Field.
The grounds originally used for sparring and dueling were now occupied by a long queue.
At the front of the line, the Red Sun Saint, Xiao Zhan, was proudly showing off his pitch-black "God Tier" armor—the kind that wouldn't even show a white scratch from a top-grade spirit sword—to the surrounding Junior Brothers and sisters.
"See this? This is the handiwork of Martial Uncle Shen!"
Xiao Zhan patted his chest, producing a dull "clanging" sound that made people's teeth ache just hearing it.
"Physical immunity! Do you understand what physical immunity means? Just now, when Senior Sister Yue struck me with her sword, I didn't even activate my protective Spiritual Qi. I tanked it head-on! Not a single scratch!"
Nearby, a group of third-generation Disciples' eyes turned green with envy.
This wasn't just armor; this was clearly an extra life!
"Martial Uncle Shen! Please, take a look at my Flying Sword!"
"Martial Uncle! My defensive Magic Treasure seems to be 'broken' too. Could you fix it? Preferably fix it so it reflects damage!"
"Martial Uncle, I've been getting some acne lately, do you think you could..."
Shen Nanxi was surrounded in the middle, holding his spirit fox brush. His forehead was drenched in sweat, but a silly grin hung on his face.
This feeling of being needed was truly wonderful.
"Don't worry, one at a time."
Shen Nanxi picked up a broken jade ruyi.
This was the Magic Treasure of a female Disciple from the Hundred Flowers Valley.
"Repair."
Shen Nanxi took a deep breath, a faint shimmer flashing in his eyes.
In his vision, the lines of the jade ruyi were fractured, and its material was loose.
"Define: Resilient, Everlasting."
The brush tip descended, and golden light flowed.
The originally broken jade ruyi healed instantly, its entire body turning emerald green. Several tender green leaves even sprouted from it, emitting a thick aura of life.
"It's done."
Shen Nanxi handed it back.
The female Disciple took it and tested it, immediately crying out in surprise: "Heavens! How did my offensive Magic Treasure turn into a healing one? And my spiritual energy recovery speed has increased tenfold?!"
"Ah? It changed?"
Shen Nanxi scratched his head. "I saw that its vitality was severed, so I just added the concept of 'vitality' to it."
The surrounding people gasped.
Rewriting a Magic Treasure's attributes at will?
Is this a damn Artifact Refiner? This is clearly a Creator!
...Sect Master's small courtyard.
Chu Xuanjin lay on a rocking chair, listening to the System notifications popping off in his mind like firecrackers. The corners of his mouth were harder to suppress than an AK.
[Ding! Disciple Shen Nanxi has reshaped a Magic Treasure for Disciple Lin Wan'er, triggering a 10,000-fold Critical Strike Return!]
[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining: Immortal Grade Top-Tier · Wood Element Longevity Staff!]
[Ding! Disciple Shen Nanxi has reinforced a shield for Disciple Zhao Tiezhu, triggering a 100,000-fold Critical Strike Return!]
[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining: Acquired Supreme Treasure · Absolute Barrier!]
"This wool-shearing feels great."
Chu Xuanjin took a leisurely sip of Enlightenment Tea.
Shen Nanxi's "Innate Talisman Source Body" was simply a bug.
Other Artifact Refiners refined based on the properties of the Materials, but this kid skipped the process entirely and modified the result.
As long as his Mental Energy held out, he could define a fire poker as the Ruyi Jingu Bang.
Just then.
A miserable wail came from down the mountain, breaking the peaceful atmosphere.
"Martial Uncle!!! Help!!!"
Ye Chengshan (Ergou) came scrambling onto the Martial Arts Field, covered in mud and looking completely broken.
"What's wrong?"
Shen Nanxi was startled and quickly supported this martial nephew, whose cultivation was countless times higher than his own.
"Martial Uncle! That ground... that ground can't be farmed anymore!"
Ye Chengshan said with a long face, pointing toward the back mountain.
"Didn't you just fix it into bluestone slabs? I thought I could just dig through it with my fingers, but... but that ground is as hard as immortal gold! I almost broke my fingers, and I couldn't even leave a white mark!"
"If the Grandmaster sees that I haven't finished tilling the field, he'll definitely skin me alive!"
Hearing this, Shen Nanxi was immediately filled with guilt.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I used too much force."
"Come, I'll go change it back for you right now."
...Back mountain spirit fields.
The original three acres of spirit fields were now as smooth as a mirror, so flat they could be used as one.
Shen Nanxi stood on the ridge, looking at the land he had "fixed" into uselessness, and took a deep breath.
"Since it's for farming, it needs to be fertile and soft."
He picked up his brush and aimed it at the massive bluestone slab, setting the tip down again.
"Define: Containing infinite vitality, soft and breathable, the most fertile soil in the world."
This time, he specifically emphasized the concepts of "fertile" and "vitality."
Buzz!
The talisman sank into the ground.
The bluestone, hard as iron, softened instantly, and its color changed from bluish-gray to a glossy blackish-brown.
A thick, inescapable scent of earth and Spiritual Qi rushed toward them.
"It's done."
Shen Nanxi wiped his sweat and turned to Ye Chengshan with a smile. "Nephew, why don't you try it?"
Ye Chengshan cautiously extended a finger and poked it.
Squelch.
His finger easily sank into the soil, which was incredibly soft. Moreover, the dirt seemed to have a life of its own, gently wrapping around his finger, warm and comfortable.
"Amazing! Martial Uncle is amazing!"
Overjoyed, Ye Chengshan pulled a spirit grain seed from his robe.
"I'll try planting something!"
He tossed the seed into the soil.
The next second.
Rumble—!!!
The moment the seed touched the soil, it was as if it had fallen into a nuclear reactor.
A green light shot into the sky!
The spirit grain, which originally took three months to mature, sprouted, branched out, and grew tall in the blink of an eye!
In one breath, it grew to the height of a person.
In two breaths, it grew into a large tree.
In three breaths, it produced heads of spirit grain as large as watermelons!
And because the vitality was too exuberant, the spirit grain stalk actually developed sapience. Its roots danced wildly like tentacles, directly entangling the nearby Ye Chengshan.
"Holy crap?! Help! This grain is going to eat me!"
Ye Chengshan was hung upside down in the air by the massive spirit grain, struggling desperately.
But it wasn't over.
The surrounding dead weeds were now also nourished by the "most fertile soil," instantly growing into towering trees. Within a few breaths, the entire back mountain spirit field had turned into a terrifying primeval forest!
Shen Nanxi stood at the edge of the forest, brush in hand, dumbfounded.
"Did I... use too much force again?"
His definition of "infinite vitality" seemed a bit too infinite.
This wasn't farming; this was cultivating a Tree Demon Matriarch!
..."Sigh."
A soft sigh came from the void.
Chu Xuanjin's figure appeared out of thin air.
He looked at the chaotic "spirit field" before him, then at Ye Chengshan swinging from the tree, and shook his head helplessly.
"Living Earth."
Chu Xuanjin saw through the current nature of the land at a glance.
Shen Nanxi's Talisman Dao had forcibly upgraded the attributes of this land to the level of the legendary "Living Earth."
Everlasting and growing upon contact with the wind.
Forget planting spirit grain; even if you planted a chopstick, a forest would grow by tomorrow.
"Revered Master!"
Seeing Chu Xuanjin arrive, Shen Nanxi quickly knelt in fear.
"This Disciple has caused trouble again..."
"Get up."
Chu Xuanjin waved his hand casually.
An invisible force of Law swept through.
The wildly growing plants immediately stopped their agitation, and their sizes rapidly shrank back to normal spirit plant forms, though the dense Spiritual Qi remained staggering.
"This isn't trouble; it's an Opportunity."
Chu Xuanjin looked at the oily black soil.
"From now on, this will be the Sect's top-tier medicinal garden."
"However, Nanxi, next time you define something, remember to add a restrictive condition."
"For example: 'Limited to plant growth, spirit transformation forbidden'."
Shen Nanxi nodded like a chick pecking grain. "This Disciple will remember!"
"Alright, Ergou, stop hanging from the tree and get down to work."
Chu Xuanjin kicked the nearby tree.
Ye Chengshan finally fell down, looking disheveled, his gaze toward Shen Nanxi filled with awe.
This Mortal Martial Uncle was practically a walking causality weapon!
...After dealing with the spirit field, Chu Xuanjin was about to go back and lie down.
"Revered Master! Revered Master, please wait!"
A round figure flew over in a frantic hurry.
It was the third Disciple, Wang Duojin.
He held the broken iron fragment he had collected from the Wang Family Old Ancestor in the Lower Realm, looking excited.
"Revered Master, look at this!"
"Just now, I saw Martial Uncle Shen showing off his Divine Might over there, and I thought, since even I can't see through this scrap of iron, could it be that it's just been obscured by time?"
"So I asked Martial Uncle Shen to 'repair' it."
Chu Xuanjin's gaze fell upon the iron fragment.
The originally rust-covered scrap iron had now completely changed.
It had become a crystal-clear medallion emitting a faint starlight.
On the front of the medallion, two ancient seal script characters were engraved—[southern heaven].
On the back was a fragmented star map.
Chu Xuanjin's pupils constricted slightly.
Heavenly Dao Dharma Eye, open.
[Item: Southern Heaven Gate · Summoning Token (Fragmented)]
[Grade: Innate Spirit Treasure (Damaged)]
[Origin: A key left behind after the collapse of the Ancient Celestial Court. Holding this token allows one to sense the location of the lost 'Southern Heaven Gate' ruins.]
[Status: The surface has been repaired by 'Material Reconstruction,' but the internal core Laws are missing.]
"Good stuff."
A sharp glint flashed in Chu Xuanjin's eyes.
The Ancient Celestial Court.
That was an existence even more ancient and powerful than the current Xuantian Immortal Dynasty.
It was said that when the Celestial Court collapsed, countless treasures were lost in the Void Realm.
He hadn't expected a small Family in the Lower Realm to be hiding such a thing.
"Shen Nanxi."
Chu Xuanjin looked at the youth who was about to slip away.
"This Disciple is here!"
"Did you fix this?"
"Yes... I fixed it," Shen Nanxi said somewhat nervously. "I saw that many of the patterns on it were broken, so I defined it as 'complete,' and then it became like this."
"Well done."
Chu Xuanjin gave a rare word of praise.
"This time you didn't fix it into nonexistence; instead, you revealed its true form."
"It seems your fine control has improved."
Shen Nanxi immediately beamed with joy, feeling sweeter than if he had eaten honey.
"Duojin."
Chu Xuanjin threw the token to Wang Duojin.
"Keep this safe. When we go to the Immortal Realm in the future, this will be a key."
"Also, pass down an order."
"From today on, in addition to Cultivating the Talisman Dao, Shen Nanxi will serve as the Sect's 'Equipment Reinforcement Master'."
"Let him practice on all the scrap metal in the Sect."
"If he ruins them, so be it. But if he succeeds..."
A mischievous smile curled on Chu Xuanjin's lips.
"If he succeeds, take them to your Myriad Dao Merchant Guild to be auctioned."
"I've already thought of a name. We'll call it the 'Hand of God' series."
Hearing this, Wang Duojin's beady eyes instantly erupted with a light more dazzling than the sun.
It was the light of money.
"Revered Master is wise! Revered Master is brilliant!"
"This isn't just a reinforcement Revered Master; this is clearly a money-printing machine!"
Wang Duojin turned to look at Shen Nanxi, his gaze so fervent he looked like he wanted to rush over and kiss him.
"Junior Brother! My dear Junior Brother!"
"Come, come, come. Senior Brother has several warehouses full of 'junk' over there. Shall we pull an all-nighter?"
Shen Nanxi was so startled by Wang Duojin's enthusiasm that he shrank his neck.
"Senior Brother... drawing talismans all night is very tiring."
"Oh, Senior Brother will give you supplements! Ten-thousand-year Spirit Milk! Dragon Liver and Phoenix Marrow! As much as you want!"
...Watching Shen Nanxi being dragged away by Wang Duojin, Chu Xuanjin stretched.
This Myriad Dao Divine Sect was getting more and more lively.
Just then, the System's voice sounded again.
[Ding! Detected that the Host's Disciple Shen Nanxi has repaired the 'Southern Heaven Gate · Summoning Token,' triggering a million-fold Critical Strike Return!]
[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining: Complete Version · Ancient Celestial Court Panorama (Includes Treasure Vault Coordinates)!]
[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining: Divine Ability · Universe in the Sleeve (Great Perfection)!]
Chu Xuanjin paused in his tracks.
A panorama? And a treasure vault?
He looked up at the sky.
This was basically telling him to go inherit an estate.
