950 years later, the Flame Fire Stone absorbed a large amount of Fire Spirit Power, producing a trace of sentience, and its Grade increased to Five.

1000 years later, the Flame Fire Stone's Grade increased to Six.

Drop Ended. Recall?

Jiang Qing chose to recall, and the Flame Fire Stone appeared in his hand.

“Not bad, a Six Grade Materials combined with an Artifact Refining Great Master is enough to forge an Earth Rank Spiritual Artifact.”

Jiang Qing rubbed his hands, somewhat looking forward to tomorrow's drop.

Putting the Flame Fire Stone into his Storage Ring, Jiang Qing continued to Cultivate his Physical Body.

Cultivate has no concept of time, and when he opened his eyes again, it was already the second day.

Jiang Qing quickly edited the drop conditions and eagerly began the drop.

Item Dropped: Six Grade Flame Fire Stone.

Drop World: Battlefield of the Heavens.

Drop Time: Ancient Era.

Duration: 300 years.

Drop Conditions: Accidentally obtained by an Artifact Refining Great Master, try to obtain excellent Materials and fuse them to forge a weapon.

Drop Beginning...

Ancient Era, a Six Grade Flame Fire Stone appeared in a cave...

One year later, a young man named Ye Ming unexpectedly discovered the Six Grade Flame Fire Stone in the cave. He treasured it and carried it with him, and unexpectedly discovered that the Six Grade Flame Fire Stone contained a mysterious effect that could constantly temper one's Qi and blood...

5 years later, the young man Ye Ming achieved outstanding accomplishments in the Martial Dao and began to study forging techniques...

6 years later, Ye Ming became a Low Grade Artifact Refiner...

110 years later, Ye Ming became a Five Grade Artifact Refining Great Master...

206 years later, Ye Ming accidentally obtained a Heaven and Earth Different Fire. He began to collect rare Materials, preparing to refine a Divine Artifact Spiritual Artifact with the Six Grade Flame Fire Stone as the main Material...

250 years later, Ye Ming had gathered all the Materials needed to refine the Spiritual Artifact and officially began to melt the Materials and refine the Spiritual Artifact...

298 years later, the Earth Rank Spiritual Artifact “ancient flame spear” refined with the Six Grade Flame Fire Stone as the main Material was born. Ye Ming successfully advanced to a Six Grade Artifact Refining Grandmaster with the help of this Spiritual Artifact...

300 years later, the ancient flame spear, carefully placed by Ye Ming, disappeared without a trace...

“Good spear!”

Jiang Qing caressed the ancient flame spear in his hand, his eyes filled with satisfaction.

The ancient flame spear was entirely black, covered with flame patterns that glowed fiery red. As the flame patterns shimmered, countless ancient Yao Beasts indistinctly appeared within the flames.

The first feeling Jiang Qing had when he held the spear was its weight, followed by the explosive power contained within.

The Materials Ye Ming used to forge the ancient flame spear were not bad; the lowest were Four Grade Peak Materials, and there was also a Five Grade Peak Profound Origin Stone. Coupled with being refined by the Heaven and Earth Different Fire “Ancient Beast Ancient Flame,” the quality of this spear far surpassed other Spiritual Artifacts of the same Realm.

The ancient flame spear was a Low Grade Earth Rank, but in reality, its quality could already rival a Medium Grade Earth Rank. It was only limited by Ye Ming's Artifact Refining skill at the time that it ultimately became a Low Grade Earth Rank upon completion.

Thrust!

Jiang Qing tried to thrust forward, and the terrifying weight made it difficult for him to hold the spear steadily.

“The spear is a good spear, but I am not yet capable of controlling it.”

Jiang Qing thought to himself.

Looking at the ancient flame spear, Jiang Qing couldn't put it down.

Not only was its quality high, but the ancient flame spear also possessed characteristics that ordinary Spiritual Artifacts could hardly achieve: it could constantly temper a Martial Artist's Qi and blood, improving the quality of their Qi and blood.

It could be called a Cultivate cheat device!

After his excitement, Jiang Qing slung the ancient flame spear over his back and began his weighted Cultivate.

With the mountain-heavy ancient flame spear on his back, it constantly tempered his Qi and blood while also making his Physical Body Cultivate easier.

“The ancient flame spear is truly a Divine Artifact!”

Jiang Qing hadn't expected such an effect and grew to love the ancient flame spear even more.

...

The next day, noon.

Jiang Qing walked into the school gate.

Students came and went on the road, quite lively, most of them gathered in groups discussing how much they had improved recently.

Walking along, the school road was lined with banners on both sides.

“Strive hard today, who will contend tomorrow!”

“A pound of fist power surpasses a thousand people, a second faster foot rushes through the college entrance examination!”

“Today bravely ascend the Dragon and Tiger list, in the future surely be a pillar of talent!”

“Challenge limits, surpass self, rush forward regardless of everything!”

“...”

“Jiang Qing!”

Just then, a call came from behind.

Jiang Qing turned around and saw a powerfully built young man.

Memories surged; this young man was named Xia Cang, the original owner's best buddy. He had good talent in Martial Dao and was the first Genius Martial Artist in Jiang Qing's class to receive a special admission quota.

“Not bad, kid, you quietly got a special admission quota.”

“I only came back this morning, otherwise, I would have made you treat me to a meal a few days ago.”

Xia Cang walked over and patted Jiang Qing's shoulder, a smile on his face.

“It's not too late to know today, how about a meal tonight?”

Jiang Qing said with a smile.

“Good, I'm going to really make you pay tonight.”

Xia Cang laughed loudly.

The two walked together on the road, chatting happily after a long time apart.

“Old Xia, you didn't get injured on your trip to the Secret Realm, did you?”

After chatting for a while, Jiang Qing asked.

“No, I teamed up with others to enter the Secret Realm this time, so it was much safer.”

Xia Cang said, a smile appearing on his face,

“And yesterday, I had incredible luck. I discovered a Three Grade Spirit Ascension Fruit tree in the evening. After dealing with the guarding Yao Beast, everyone got a Spirit Ascension Fruit. I am now a Four Level Martial Artist.”

“Congratulations, a mid-level Martial Artist Cultivation. You'll at least be able to get into a key university during the college entrance examination.”

Jiang Qing congratulated him.

“Haha, just luck.”

Xia Cang said, then a light flashed in his hand, and he handed over a Spirit Ascension Fruit.

“A Qing, I exerted the most effort in dealing with the guarding Yao Beast yesterday and got two Spirit Ascension Fruits. This thing has no effect on me after I eat one, so taking it will allow you to Breakthrough a Realm.”

“This is too valuable, I can't accept it.”

Jiang Qing waved his hand in refusal.

A Three Grade Spirit Ascension Fruit was worth as much as a Four Grade Spirit Medicine on the market.

Its effect was simple and direct: for Martial Artists below the mid-level, using it had a high probability of allowing them to Breakthrough a Realm. It was always in high demand but rarely available.

“Don't be so quick to refuse. With this Spirit Ascension Fruit, you'll be able to advance one level. If you perform well enough, you can get signed by a big company, and then you can just return a Spirit Ascension Fruit to me.”

Xia Cang said.

“Then I'll accept it, thank you.”

Jiang Qing pondered for a moment and then accepted it.

This brother the original owner made is truly reliable...

Holding the Spirit Ascension Fruit in his hand, Jiang Qing thought to himself.

Just as Xia Cang said, advancing one level meant a greater chance of being signed by a big company.

Once signed with a big company, basic resources would not be a concern in the early stages, and a clear path to success would open up for the future.

The kindness given when one is weak is truly like sending charcoal in the snow. Xia Cang's action made Jiang Qing truly acknowledge him as a brother from the bottom of his heart.
