220: First-tier top-grade magic artifact stockings!

In the center of the main hall.

Liu Xuan raised his hand and pointed, and a sword embryo flew from the ground into the flames, its body instantly turning red.

The flames, controlled by Liu Xuan's magic power, flickered slightly, forming tiny fire snakes that swam around the sword embryo.

A moment later, it was as if an invisible pair of large hands molded the sword embryo into the shape of a long sword.

With a thought, the long sword flew before Liu Xuan. He raised his hand and drew several runes on the sword body. The long sword suddenly glowed with spiritual light, gradually transforming into a black Magical Artifact sword.

“A First-Order Low-Grade Profound Iron Sword, with a sharp shield-breaking effect. Senior Sister, what do you think?” The long sword flew and hovered quietly before An Yunxi.

“Clang!”

An Yunxi picked up the long sword and flicked its tip. “It’s better than most Profound Iron Swords on the market. Junior Brother is indeed an Artifact Refining Genius!”

Profound Iron Swords are one of the most common Magical Artifact swords, almost found in every Cultivation market.

Using the same Materials, the Profound Iron Sword refined by Liu Xuan was of High Grade quality, indicating his Artifact Refining skill was not low.

“You flatter me!”

Liu Xuan chatted with An Yunxi for a few moments, then explained the key points of Artifact Refining to his Concubine beside him.

“It’s just a First-Order Low-Grade Magical Artifact sword. The Profound Iron Sword has a single function and is extremely simple to refine. The main points are the final rune drawing and activating the sword body’s spirituality…”

A Profound Iron Sword sells for about ten Spirit Stones. With Liu Xuan’s Artifact Refining skill, personally refining it would be a complete waste of time. He was more focused on teaching his Concubine.

After explaining the key points, Liu Xuan arranged for several with basic knowledge to attempt Artifact Refining, and then he corrected their mistakes.

Through a comprehensive and easy-to-understand teaching session, Liu Xuan discovered that two Concubines had good Artifact Refining talent.

One was named Mo Li, a member of the Mo Family, a Cultivation Family from Yongning. The Mo Family primarily dealt in Magical Artifacts, so she already had some basic knowledge.

The other was Jiang Xiaoyou. This girl usually didn’t talk much and seemed a bit simple-minded, but in reality, her logical thinking was very rigorous, which is a great advantage for Artifact Refining.

Next, Liu Xuan focused on them, pointing out their weaknesses, assigning them learning tasks, and answering their questions… Liu Xuan’s skill was equivalent to a third-tier top Artifact Refiner. With such a Great Master’s dedicated guidance, even An Yunxi, who was listening nearby, nodded repeatedly.

“I understand! I understand!”

“Junior Brother, watch me. I’ll try first!”

An Yunxi became interested, her confidence greatly boosted, and she immediately started working.

A quarter of an hour later.

“Bang!”

The spiritualities inside the Magical Artifact sword clashed, causing a sudden explosion that turned into a sky full of gray mist.

“Senior Sister, the runes were wrong! The rune inscription cannot collide with the spiritual nodes of the sword body,” Liu Xuan explained.

“So that’s it!”

“I understand!”

She didn’t lose confidence due to the failure; instead, her interest grew even stronger.

Indeed, Liu Xuan found that she had made significant progress. If she continued practicing, she would probably succeed in a few days.

An Yunxi was, after all, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. Divine Sense greatly aided Cultivation skills, and with Liu Xuan’s guidance, refining a First-Order Low-Grade Magical Artifact was not difficult.

As long as one was willing to spend the time, First-Order Low-Grade skills could be mastered by Foundation Establishment Cultivators; it was merely a matter of time.

However, this offered them no practical help and was just a waste of time. An Yunxi’s great interest was likely just a hobby, something fun to do.

Once all the women entered a state of learning, Liu Xuan began his own research.

His personal maid, Xiao Shuang (Younger Twin), brought a box of Heavenly Silkworm Silk and a bottle of dark black Bewitching Fragrance Tree sap.

“Buzz~”

Controlling the Formation with his Divine Thought, another flame rose in the center of the main hall. Liu Xuan threw the Heavenly Silkworm Silk into it and refined it with full concentration.

Heavenly Silkworm Silk is not a metal spiritual Material. If the flame temperature was too low, it couldn’t be refined, but if it was slightly too high, it would burn directly. This required extremely strict control over the flame.

However, Liu Xuan’s skill was superb, and this difficulty was no match for him. Soon, the Heavenly Silkworm Silk was refined, thinned, and then woven into a pair of… silk stockings!

A quarter of an hour later.

‘A first-tier top-grade Magical Artifact silk stocking! Not only does it look good, but it also has excellent defensive effects. I am indeed a Genius!’

“Husband, what kind of Magical Artifact is this? It’s so strange, I’ve never seen anything like it!”

Zhang Kexin stared curiously at the silk stocking Magical Artifact in Liu Xuan’s hand, racking her brain but unable to figure out what kind of Magical Artifact it was.

Could it be a Magical Artifact similar to a Heavenly Net? But from its shape, it didn’t look like it. What was the purpose of making it so long and thin?

“Uh…”

“It’s for self-defense. I’ll give you a pair tonight!”

Liu Xuan looked at Zhang Kexin’s legs, hidden by her long skirt. Although her legs were not as long as She Xiaorong’s, they were fair and delicate. Wearing white silk would definitely look good… Liu Xuan was a proper person. Enjoyment was one thing, but important matters still needed to be done.

He began refining the dozens of first-tier mid-grade and High Grade Magical Artifact embryos that had accumulated during this time.

The refined Magical Artifacts were given to Da Shuang to be sent to the Merchant Alliance’s Vast Gathering Pavilion for sale, or sold at internal prices to various Families within the Merchant Alliance.

Currently, the quantity was small, so making money was secondary. The main point was to show everyone the prospects of the Liu Family Artifact Refining workshop and encourage them to actively participate.

After he was mostly finished, Liu Xuan instructed Da Shuang to assign tasks to the many Artifact Refining apprentices in the workshop, intending to refine a first-tier top-grade large Magical Artifact flying ship.

Large Magical Artifacts differ from ordinary Magical Artifacts. They are generally not for individual use but for forces like Families and Sects.

Similar to the Red Pine Sect’s cloud-breaking flying boat, it has comprehensive functions, combining offense and defense, and requires multiple people to coordinate its control to unleash its full power.

Large Magical Artifacts are troublesome to operate and consume a lot, but their power is also great. A second-tier cloud-breaking flying ship, when fully activated, is equivalent to a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and in special circumstances, it can even be stronger than an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

The price is naturally not cheap. A second-tier cloud-breaking flying ship is worth tens of thousands of Spirit Stones, and its full activation requires continuous consumption of Spirit Stones, which most Foundation Establishment Families cannot afford.

The Liu Family Artifact Refining workshop is still far from being able to produce a cloud-breaking flying boat. Liu Xuan plans to make a first-tier top-grade or first-tier high-grade simplified version to practice.

No way! It’s not that his skill isn’t enough, but that the Liu Family currently doesn’t have the conditions; there aren’t enough Artifact Refining personnel for him to command.

Refining a first-tier top-grade flying ship, rather than being for his own practice, was more for his Artifact Refining apprentices to practice and improve their Artifact Refining skills.

A few days later, the Liu Family members had another path: learning Artifact Refining.

Not only Liu Xuan’s Concubines could participate, but children who were interested could also participate, provided it didn’t affect their Cultivation.

Liu Xuan never encouraged his children to learn any Cultivation skills; he only encouraged them to Cultivate.

For many children, unless they were truly exceptionally gifted, spending time learning Cultivation skills was not as good as putting more effort into Cultivating. As long as they weren’t foolish, they would naturally know how to choose.

Artifact Refining is not currently the focus for the Liu Family. The father-in-law Families in the Merchant Alliance are the focus. Various basic steps and Material refining can be outsourced to them.

The Artifact Refining workshop is like a high-precision mechanical manufacturing plant; the Liu Family only needs to master the core technology.
