Flame Heart Bone Painting

Starlight Academy, the Pavilion of the Alchemy Lineage.

Inside a reception room.

Su Bai and Ying Luo sat upright to one side.

The wait wasn't long.

A figure dressed in the attire of Xinghui Academy entered. It was Lu Yue, the current head of the Lu family, the head of the weapon-refining lineage of Xinghui Academy, and a late-stage Golden Core cultivator!

His appearance was like that of most Golden Core Cultivator, maintaining the youthful look of someone in their twenties or thirties. He had a reserved demeanor, and his thick eyebrows made him look quite resolute.

"Instructor Yingluo, and this gentleman must be Alchemist Lu Jiu from the Star Luo Pill Pavilion. There are still some matters to attend to in class, so I apologize for keeping you waiting."

Lu Yue didn't put on airs and took the initiative to speak, cupping his hands in greeting.

"We just arrived too." Su Bai and Ying Luo stood up together and returned the greeting with a cupped hand.

Su Bai secretly initiated the Survey using [Immortal Talent Reflection].

[Name]: Lu Yue

[Spirit Root Talent]: Single Spirit Root (Fire)

[Spell Talent]: Fire Attribute Spell Talent (Third Tier)

[Artifact Forging Talent]: Flame Heart Bone Painting (Yellow Tier)

(Flame Heart Bone Painting: Increases the success rate of weapon forging tenfold. It allows for a deeper perception of the internal structure of materials than ordinary weapon forgers, enabling them to manipulate flames to sculpt the weapon blank, resulting in a significant improvement in the quality of the forged weapon.)

As expected, he has the Artifact Forging Talent at the Yellow Tier!

He might also be the only Yellow Tier Artifact Forging Talent in Heavenly Star City at present.

[Flame Heart Bone Painting], what a treasure! I must get my hands on it today!

Lu Yue was a straightforward person. He looked directly at Su Bai and asked, "I heard that Alchemist Lu Jiu wants to ask me about refining Houtian Spirit Treasure today?"

Seeing this, Su Bai also summoned the Soaring Dragon Sword.

This Supreme-Grade Spirit Artifact immediately caught Lu Yue's attention upon its appearance.

"This Top-grade Spirit Sword seems to be the work of Grandmaster Tie Xiong." Lu Yue recognized the person who upgraded the Soaring Dragon Sword at a glance.

Su Bai nodded. "As expected of Grandmaster Lu Yue, your insight is truly remarkable. This Spirit Sword was indeed upgraded to the level of Supreme-Grade Spirit Artifact with the help of Grandmaster Tie Xiong."

After a pause, Su Bai continued, "This Spirit Sword has been with me since it was just Law Artifact."

"It suits my training style quite well and has helped me solve many difficulties."

"Therefore, I wish to further elevate it to Spirit Treasure, so that it may continue to accompany me throughout my cultivation journey."

"So I'd like to ask Master Lu for some advice."

Lu Yue nodded slightly and reached out to take the Spirit Sword.

With a solemn expression, Su Bai turned the sword around, gripped the hilt, and handed it to Lu Yue.

Lu Yue was slightly taken aback. As Artifact Refining Grandmaster, he didn't think there was anything wrong with this action. Instead, he admired Su Bai even more.

The sword hilt was no more than two hands wide, and when the Spirit Sword was handed over, Su Bai and Lu Yue's palms naturally and unconsciously touched each other.

"Copy Lu Yue's [Flame Heart Bone Painting] for me! "Su Bai secretly activated his [Immortal Talent Reflection] Copy ability!

[Copy successful, target Artifact Forging Talent: Flame Heart Bone Painting has been Copy.]

[Name]: Su Bai

[Spirit Root Talent]: Heavenly Spirit Root (Water)

[Sword Dao Talent]: Clear Heart Enlightenment Root (Yellow Tier) (Coordination)

[Immortal Talent Reflection]: Survey 0/1, Copy 0/1. (Updated 12.15)

After advancing to the Golden Core, Su Bai's perception of his body became even more acute.

After Copy this weapon -Artifact Forging Talent, Su Bai clearly sensed that something new had appeared in his mind.

At this moment, Lu Yue had already taken the Soaring Dragon Sword, and given Su Bai's attitude, he was also quite careful in testing the Soaring Dragon Sword.

After a moment, he replied, "This sword is of very good quality and has the potential to be upgraded to Houtian Spirit Treasure. However, gathering various Spirit Treasure resources will require at least nearly ten thousand High-grade Spirit Stone stones as a starting point, and many insights will require time to accumulate."

"Furthermore, the Artifact Spirit corresponding to a sword-type Spirit Treasure is preferably a sword-type spiritual object, which is extremely difficult to find. Of course, if you, Alchemist Lu Jiu, can cultivate Sword Phantasm, then integrating it into Spirit Treasure would be perfect, and this Spirit Treasure could become your unique second Clone."

Upon hearing this, Su Bai's face showed surprise. "Nearly ten thousand High-grade Spirit Stone? No wonder only Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator can afford this Spirit Treasure, tsk tsk."

Su Bai accepted the Soaring Dragon Sword and stored it in his dantian.

Lu Yue smiled faintly, "Given the income of Alchemist, although these Spirit Stone stones are numerous, it's not difficult to collect them all."

"If Alchemist Lu Jiu needs anything in the future, he can come to me anytime."

Upon hearing this, Su Bai tentatively asked, "Master Lu, have you perhaps already refined Houtian Spirit Treasure for yourself?"

Lu Yue smiled but remained silent.

The Lu Family is Aristocratic Clan weapon refiners, Old Ancestor Lu may have left behind many Houtian Spirit Treasure. It's not particularly exaggerated that Lu Yue could refine Houtian Spirit Treasure with his Golden Core Stage cultivation.

"Master Lu, I've heard that the Lu Family is also extremely skilled at setting up Teleportation Array."

"How many Spirit Stone would it cost to purchase a Teleportation Array?" Su Bai asked.

Su Bai always needed Teleportation Array array, whether traveling to Qingzhou, Demon Star City, or the South Sea.

If we could set up the Teleportation Array ourselves, it would save us a lot of trouble.

Of course, this is on the premise that the price is right; otherwise, Su Bai should learn the art of weapon crafting on his own and figure out how to craft his own teleportation Teleportation Array.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yue replied, "That depends on whether it's Two-Way Teleportation Array or One-Way Teleportation Array."

"What is the distance that needs to be transmitted?"

Su Bai guessed and said, "For example, Two-Way Teleportation Array array to the Southern Sea Cultivation World."

Lu Yue said, "Such Ultra-Long-Distance Teleportation Array that crosses the Teleportation Array Cultivation World requires extremely high-strength spiritual materials for its base, and the refining time is extremely long. The number of Teleportation Array inscribed on it is also extremely large and perfectly integrated. As a fellow teacher of the Starlight Academy, I'll give you a friendly price: it will cost at least two thousand High-grade Spirit Stone to refine it."

"The Teleportation Array needs regular maintenance; otherwise, if it fails and someone falls into the boundless Void, those with insufficient cultivation could perish instantly."

"Regular maintenance is inexpensive, costing only a dozen or so High-grade Spirit Stone. I will then send Lu Family weapon refiner to provide on-site service."

Two thousand High-grade Spirit Stone... Regular maintenance fees...

This number of Spirit Stone was within Su Bai's imagination, but accepting it was impossible.

I'll wait until I've mastered the essence of weapon crafting before I start crafting and maintaining my own weapons.

Anyway, Lu Yue's Artifact Forging Talent has already been acquired, and he will eventually reach Lu Yue's level.

"The art of weapon crafting and the Array Formation Dao are interconnected. Which one is more difficult?" Su Bai asked.

Lu Yue smiled faintly, "For a weapon refiner like me, the Array Formation Dao. The formations that can be used in weapon refining are limited. I can inscribe simple teleportation and Mustard Seed Space formations myself, but some special Magic Array require the assistance of a specialized Formation Master to complete."
