188: Reaching for the Moon

Chu Yuan looked at Shangguan Xinglan in confusion, seemingly not understanding why she thought that way.

“Revered Master, what worries could I possibly have?”

Shangguan Xinglan looked at him seriously and said hesitantly, “You wouldn’t actually like Revered Master, and felt frustrated because I drove you away that day, would you?”

Hearing this, Chu Yuan was somewhat dumbfounded. Just as he was about to explain, he suddenly thought of something.

He deliberately made his eyes slightly evasive, “Revered Master, what are you talking about?”

Seeing him act this way, Shangguan Xinglan’s heart skipped a beat, “You... disciple...”

She opened her mouth, somewhat at a loss for words.

“Forget it. I will go find a Legacy Jade Slip for you. Settle your mind properly!”

After saying that, her figure vanished.

Seeing this, the corner of Chu Yuan’s mouth lifted slightly, and a hint of a smile appeared in his eyes.

This Revered Master is too amusing, isn’t she?

However... Chu Yuan thought of something, and his mind also wavered slightly. He quickly left the main hall.

A moment later, Shangguan Xinglan appeared, tossed a Jade Slip to Chu Yuan, and then left.

Chu Yuan checked the contents of the Jade Slip, and there were no Restrictions present.

However, he did not relax his vigilance.

First, he duplicated a copy in case Shangguan Xinglan retrieved it, and then he reinforced it once.

Seeing that there were indeed no issues, he used the Jade Slip and began studying its contents.

Artifact Refining is different from Alchemy. Artifact Refining Rank is only divided into five levels: Mortal Weapon, Spiritual Artifact, Spirit Treasure, Divine Artifact, and Sacred Artifact.

Strictly speaking, in the eyes of Cultivators, it is only divided into four Ranks.

Mortal Weapon is not worth mentioning!

Therefore, the Artifact Refiner Rank is also divided into four levels, namely Earth, Heaven, Divine-Grade, and Saint-Grade.

This Jade Slip contains the Artifact Refining Legacy of the Earth and Heaven Ranks, which is quite good.

Chu Yuan was in secluded cultivation for three days, finally internalizing this Artifact Refining Legacy.

He did not hesitate and immediately used the reinforcement ability to completely Revered Master it.

At this moment, he was like a Heaven-Grade Artifact Refiner who had spent dozens or even hundreds of years in Artifact Refining.

He walked directly into the Artifact Refining room, started the fire to warm the furnace, took out the spiritual materials, and began forging.

Artifact Refining is not blacksmithing!

Artifact Refining is using powerful Divine Thought to control the flames to remove the Impurities from the spiritual materials, connecting them with special runes, and fusing them into the desired weapon shape.

Finally, Artifact Refining runes are inscribed, drawing upon the power of heaven and earth for forging, and granting the artifact some special effects.

Chu Yuan’s first Artifact Refining project, naturally, was to stay true to his original aspiration and create a seven-string zither!

With his peak Heaven-Grade Artifact Refining attainment, coupled with the assistance of the Chi Xiao Spiritual Flame, the first Spirit Treasure appeared in just half a day.

Supreme Grade!

As the Supreme Grade Spirit Treasure was born, a faint, illusory phenomenon appeared above Chu Yuan’s attic.

Ordinary people might not notice it, but Cultivators above the Spirit Soul Realm could clearly sense it.

“A Supreme Grade Spirit Treasure has appeared?”

Su Yao said in surprise, “Why did such a phenomenon appear above Junior Brother’s attic?”

In the main hall of Ziyan Peak, Shangguan Xinglan felt something and her eyes were filled with astonishment.

“A Supreme Grade Spirit Treasure?”

“Is this disciple truly so extraordinarily gifted?”

“At such a young age, he has reached the Spirit Soul Realm cultivation, is a Seventh-Rank Alchemist, a Heaven-Grade Artifact Refiner, plus an Array Revered Master of unknown Rank...”

“What a Prodigy!”

What astonished her was not that Chu Yuan could become a Heaven-Grade Artifact Refiner, but... she had only given Chu Yuan the Artifact Refining Legacy three days ago!

Preposterous!

“Prodigy!”

Shangguan Xinglan murmured, and for some unknown reason, her ears turned slightly red.

She shook her head, forced herself to calm down, closed her eyes, and focused her mind.

Meanwhile, on Chu Yuan’s side, looking at the ancient zither before him, which resembled glazed white jade, he chuckled:

“Compared to the glazed moon in the sky, what harm is there in expressing feelings to the bright moon? I shall call you Embracing Moon.”

The ancient zither trembled slightly, seemingly in joy.

Chu Yuan smiled slightly, directly used a drop of blood to acknowledge ownership, making it his personal Spirit Treasure.

Immediately, just as he was about to pack up and leave, he suddenly raised his eyebrows slightly and continued Artifact Refining.

The next day.

A ray of morning light sprinkled onto the earth, and the faint, illusory phenomenon reappeared above Chu Yuan’s attic.

Seeing this, everyone was somewhat surprised.

But considering Chu Yuan’s nature as a Prodigy, it didn’t seem too strange anymore.

Before long.

Chu Yuan walked out of the attic and saw that Ye Qingyi and the other four were all present.

Han Ling’er ran up, “Senior Brother, I heard Senior Sister say that you know Artifact Refining?”

Chu Yuan nodded slightly, “I just learned it. I can make a few pieces for Junior Sister later!”

“Ah?”

Han Ling’er was stunned for a moment, then reacted, saying happily, “Thank you, Senior Brother!”

“You’re welcome!”

Chu Yuan smiled and said.

“What about Senior Sister’s?”

Su Yao quickly spoke up, blinking her eyes, which seemed to contain a pink glow.

“Naturally, Senior Sister won’t be left out!”

Chu Yuan chuckled, and then looked at Ye Qingyi and the other person, “Sister Qingyi, for yours, how about waiting until I advance to Divine-Grade Artifact Refiner?”

“After all, Supreme Grade Spirit Treasures aren’t very useful to you.”

Ye Qingyi’s eyes lit up, “Little Brother, you promise then? The first Divine Artifact you can refine must be made for me, alright?”

But before Chu Yuan could agree, Bai Zhi narrowed her eyes, “Why should it be for you? I was the first one to follow Chu Yuan.”

“Hmph, I was the first one to meet Chu Yuan and become acquainted with him.” Ye Qingyi scoffed.

Seeing that the two were about to continue arguing, Chu Yuan quickly raised his hand to stop them.

“Sister Qingyi, just tell me if it’s possible: if I become a Divine-Grade Artifact Refiner, can I refine two or even three pieces at the same time?”

Hearing this, both Ye Qingyi and Bai Zhi were startled, then shook their heads and chuckled:

“You certainly know how to mediate!”

The two women chuckled, but truly did not say anything more.

“I won’t crave Divine Artifacts for now, but Little Brother, I’m hungry...”

Ye Qingyi looked at Chu Yuan, blinking her large eyes, which were full of longing.

Chu Yuan chuckled, “It’s a small matter, and must be satisfied.”

“Hehe, Little Brother is the best.”

Ye Qingyi was delighted, and the others also swallowed slightly, their eyes full of anticipation.

Chu Yuan smiled and prepared a table for everyone, and Shangguan Xinglan arrived as promised.

After eating, Shangguan Xinglan left.

Chu Yuan’s eyes flickered as he watched the others leave one after another.

This world ultimately values strength; even Ye Qingyi needs to Cultivate.

Even Bai Zhi, when she was with him, would dedicate some of her mind to comprehending the Law.

Chu Yuan pondered for a moment, returned to the cultivation room, and his consciousness entered the primal origin space.

The Cultivation Technique of the Spirit Venerable Chapter of the Heavenly Revelation Spirit Cultivation Art needs to be reinforced, comprehended, and mastered.

In addition, a Divine Soul imprint needs to be placed on the Pill Saint’s Inheritance Space before the Spirit Medicine required for the Legacy assessment can be placed inside to restart the Legacy.

He had forgotten this matter before, and since he remembered it today, he naturally needed to do it.

Although he temporarily cannot Revered Master Eighth-Rank Alchemy ability, it’s not like he can’t study it, is it?

As long as he passes the Seventh-Rank assessment, he can accept the Eighth-Rank Legacy, right?

Chu Yuan did not overthink it. He first placed the Divine Soul imprint on the Inheritance Space, replenished the required Spirit Medicine, and then temporarily put it away.

Afterward, he pondered slightly and decided on the three things he needed to do next.

Revered Master the Spirit Venerable Chapter Cultivation Technique!

Enter the Inheritance Space, pass the Seventh-Rank Alchemy assessment, and learn the Eighth-Rank Alchemy Legacy!

Finish reading the Legacy left by Duanmu Shenfeng to see if there is a complete Eighth-Rank Array Arrangement Legacy.

If there isn’t, then he should consider looking for Eighth-Rank Array Arrangement texts to study.

Right, there is also a fourth thing!
