180: Notes, two brothers

Soon, the Dao Lecture and Spirit Treasure Grand Ceremony concluded. Although Chen Cuo and the others still felt that it ended too soon, they all gained a lot.

Chen Cuo had completely clarified his thoughts on refining the Five Elements Rings, and he eagerly looked forward to refining them successfully and making a fortune again.

However, the two ideas previously proposed by Yuanyuan True Man were quite difficult to choose between.

Chen Cuo thought, "Should I first refine five Spirit Ring Magical Artifacts and then combine them into a Magic Treasure? Or should I directly refine each of the five Spirit Rings into Magic Treasures and then combine them into a set of Magic Treasures?"

The first method was simpler and relatively cheaper, while the latter method was more costly, but the Magic Treasure's power would be greater, and its value even higher.

As everyone dispersed, Yuanyuan True Man remained alone. His gaze fell upon Chen Cuo, filled with deep expectation and concern.

This Master, who was usually dignified and solemn, now appeared exceptionally patient and meticulous.

"Chen Cuo, stay here," Yuanyuan True Man's voice was calm and firm, as if possessing an invisible power that made Chen Cuo involuntarily stop.

Chen Cuo turned around and looked at his Master's profound eyes. Just now, his nominal Master had said he had some more instructions, which made Chen Cuo involuntarily ponder.

This was like getting private tutoring in public!

"Master, is there anything else you wish to instruct me on?" Chen Cuo asked, seemingly respectfully, his voice seemingly filled with respect and gratitude towards his Master.

Yuanyuan True Man nodded slightly. He walked to Chen Cuo's side, looked at him with a smile, and said, "Your idea is quite ingenious. It can be inferred that refining the Five Elements Rings is an extremely complex process, and you need to be extra careful."

"The five Spirit Rings of the Five Elements Rings are interconnected and influence each other. A slight mistake could lead to refining failure."

Chen Cuo nodded seriously, listening carefully. As an Artifact Refiner at the Perfection of the Golden Core Realm, his experience was countless times richer than Chen Cuo's!

Yuanyuan True Man continued, "During the refining process, you must always keep your mind clear and not be influenced by external disturbances. At the same time, you must also pay attention to adjusting the heat and the flow of Spiritual Qi to ensure the stability and power of the Five Elements Rings."

"These are some Artifact Refining experiences I recorded during my Foundation Establishment Stage. Several of your Senior Brothers have observed them, and you must not fall behind either!"

Chen Cuo's heart rejoiced, and he immediately solemnly put it away. These valuable experiences and suggestions would be a precious asset for him in refining the Five Elements Rings.

Chen Cuo said, "Thank you, Master, I will definitely refine this Magic Treasure!"

He immediately intended to bid farewell and leave!

However, Yuanyuan True Man said earnestly, "Chen Cuo, you have joined my Sect, but you haven't met your Senior Brothers yet. Two of them happen to be in the Sect, so I'll take you to meet them today."

"Master, I have always looked forward to meeting my Senior Brothers." Chen Cuo, who originally wanted to leave quickly, could only respectfully reply.

Yuanyuan True Man smiled and nodded, leading him towards the inner hall of the Sect. Chen Cuo slowly followed behind, his heart also filled with anticipation and curiosity.

Entering Yuanyuan True Man's Immortal Cave's inner hall, the inner hall was vast. When Chen Cuo entered, it was like entering another world, boundless and wide.

This environment was very similar to the Secret Realms in legends.

Chen Cuo followed his Master's footsteps, and as his gaze moved forward, at a location similar to a volcano, a shirtless man was swinging a large hammer, striking something repeatedly.

That Senior Brother was tall and handsome, exuding an indescribable Aura.

Extremely far away, there was another person, impeccably dressed, with a profound Aura, forming streaks of red light with his hands, controlling them as they danced in the clouds atop the mountain peak.

"This is your First Senior Brother, named Feng Wuchen. He has already entered the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, and is a prominent figure in our Sect," Yuanyuan True Man said, pointing to the man with the profound Aura.

"This technique is precisely the Cloud-Gathering Brocade Weaving, which uses magical power to collect the purple Qi of the morning clouds to weave cloud brocade and refine Magical Artifacts, with extraordinary effects."

Chen Cuo's eyes immediately narrowed, secretly shocked. The Cloud-Gathering Brocade Weaving technique, this was a Legacy of ancient Cultivators.

This method uses magical power to collect the purple Qi of the morning clouds—ancient Cultivators were said to refine a breath of purple Qi from the east. The purple Qi of the morning clouds is the essence of heaven and earth, the gift of the sun, moon, and stars, and the source of all growth.

It can only be collected for a brief moment each morning, at sunrise.

Then, Cultivators use this to weave splendid cloud brocades. Cloud brocades are not merely beautiful; they are Magical Artifacts containing powerful energy.

Cloud brocade Magical Artifacts contain the mysteries of heaven and earth. They can dispel darkness, illuminate the path ahead, resist powerful enemies, protect Cultivators, and further assist them in comprehending the Laws of heaven and earth and improving their cultivation.

The key was that the Immortal Cave where Yuanyuan True Man resided could actually generate this purple Qi and cloud light, and it could even be collected by his nominal First Senior Brother, which was simply incredible.

"I know what you're thinking, but this is not the original ancient Cloud-Gathering Brocade Weaving method. It is a modified Cultivation Technique, and the power of the Magical Artifacts that can be refined is not as Heaven-Defyingly powerful as those of ancient Cultivators."

"Also, this Immortal Cave is a fragment of a Secret Realm, which I refined. With the help of Butian Pavilion, it has some of its current peculiarities, and it is not particularly astonishing."

Yuanyuan True Man looked at Chen Cuo's shock and actually explained everything one by one. This trust made Chen Cuo inexplicably feel a sense of goodwill.

Exposing his own background like this truly showed that he regarded Chen Cuo as his Disciple.

After all, strictly speaking, he was currently only a Named Disciple.

"And this one is your Fifth Senior Brother, named Lei Zhen. Like you, he is at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, and he is also my Named Disciple." Yuanyuan True Man then pointed to the tall man with a rainbow-like Aura.

"Cuo, greets both Senior Brothers!"

Chen Cuo suppressed the shock in his heart and greeted the two Senior Brothers. Both of them were outstanding figures in the Sect, yet they had no airs and enthusiastically entertained Chen Cuo.
