Refining a Magic Artifact, Earthly Yuan Realm Middle Stage

Having been here once before, Lin Fan made his way to the Appraisal Room with ease.

Then,

he had the Middle-aged Man at the Appraisal Room summon Xuan Su.

Seeing Lin Fan appear again, Xuan Su smiled and asked, "Sir, have you come to our Ten Thousand Gold Auction House this time to sell cultivation techniques, or to purchase something?"

"I'm here to purchase something," Lin Fan replied.

Xuan Su asked again, "Yin Attribute Spiritual Medicine?"

Lin Fan shook his head. "No. I want both Jade Marrow and Yin Attribute Spiritual Medicine!"

"Oh?"

Xuan Su gave Lin Fan a somewhat surprised look and said, "All of those items combined are worth eighty-five thousand Yang Essence Stones!"

Lin Fan handed a Cosmos Sack to Xuan Su and said with a smile, "There are eight thousand Yang Yuan Pills inside. I wonder if that will be enough?"

Xuan Su accepted the Cosmos Sack and inspected it. She could not help but nod. "Although there are only eight thousand Yang Yuan Pills, their quality is exceptionally high. They are enough for the transaction."

As she spoke, Xuan Su looked at Lin Fan curiously and asked, "May I ask where you obtained these Yang Yuan Pills? Our Ten Thousand Gold Commerce Guild is willing to exchange for them at a suitable price."

"Sorry, I can't tell you."

Lin Fan spoke calmly.

Though he knew it would be good business, only Lin Dong's Stone Talisman could condense such Yang Yuan Pills.

After refining Yang Yuan Pills this time, Lin Dong was practically sick of it. He certainly would not continue doing it.

"I see!"

Hearing Lin Fan's words, Xuan Su was rather disappointed.

Then, she passed the Cosmos Sack to the Middle-aged Man and had him retrieve the items for this transaction.

Before long, the Middle-aged Man returned carrying a Cosmos Sack.

"Sir, these are the items you requested."

The Middle-aged Man respectfully presented the Cosmos Sack with both hands.

Lin Fan took the Cosmos Sack and sensed its contents, finding that everything inside was what he needed.

He immediately rose to his feet and said to Xuan Su, "Now that I have obtained the items, I'll be taking my leave."

By evening, Lin Fan had finally returned to the Lin Family.

He went to Lin Dong's home and called Lin Dong out.

Lin Fan handed a Cosmos Sack to Lin Dong. "Here, Lin Dong. This Cosmos Sack is for you. The Yang Yuan Pills are inside as well."

"Thank you, Lin Fan Bro!"

Lin Dong accepted the Cosmos Sack and spoke gratefully.

Lin Fan smiled and waved a hand. "There's no need to be so polite between us."

"Lin Fan Bro, I'm relieved knowing Qing Tan will marry you."

Lin Dong spoke earnestly.

"Ha ha!"

Receiving his future brother-in-law's approval made Lin Fan quite happy.

He said to Lin Dong, "Lin Dong, tell Qing Tan to come find me early tomorrow."

"Alright."

Lin Dong nodded.

Then, Lin Fan left.

After returning home, Lin Fan locked his door and took out the piece of Jade Marrow.

Jade Marrow was the finest grade of jade. Though it was only palm-sized, it was worth fifty thousand Yang Essence Stones.

The moment the Jade Marrow appeared, it emitted a dazzling, flowing radiance. Its texture was even more delicate than the finest jade, gleaming with a warm, lustrous light.

Such an item was no longer an ordinary object. It was a spiritual treasure.

In another world, this Jade Marrow was one of the best materials for refining treasures at the beginning of cultivation.

Lin Fan had bought this Jade Marrow because he intended to refine a magic artifact for protection.

With this magic artifact, his safety would be greatly improved.

He could even use it to unleash attacks several levels beyond his current strength.

Of course, Lin Fan's cultivation was still weak, so refining a magic artifact would not be easy.

Even though he had inherited Chen Beixuan's legacy, he could only rely on slow, painstaking effort and refine it bit by bit.

An entire night passed, and Lin Fan merely engraved some talismans, secret incantations, and formations onto the Jade Marrow.

Early the next morning, Qing Tan came running over just as Lin Fan finished breakfast.

Qing Tan smiled sweetly and asked, "Lin Fan Bro, what did you want to see me about?"

"Here!"

Lin Fan tossed a Cosmos Sack to Qing Tan. "This is for you!"

"Lin Fan Bro, what is this?"

Qing Tan looked through it and asked curiously.

"This is a Cosmos Sack. There's a space inside it."

Lin Fan explained, "I prepared Yin Attribute Spiritual Medicine for you inside. There are five fourth-grade plants and three fifth-grade plants."

Qing Tan's eyes widened. "So much spiritual medicine, and it's all Yin Attribute? Lin Fan Bro, where did you get these?"

"You don't need to worry about that."

Lin Fan rubbed Qing Tan's head and said, "Right now, all you need to do is cultivate properly. Of course, you must cultivate by my side."

"Oh."

Qing Tan also knew that Lin Fan needed the Yin Fiend Qi within her body.

She did not have any thoughts about it.

After all, Lin Fan was the person she liked most.

Lin Fan set up a Spirit Stealing Array and had Qing Tan sit at its center, taking out the spiritual medicine to cultivate.

Meanwhile, he continued engraving talisman formations onto the Jade Marrow.

Several days passed like this.

With the aid of the spiritual medicine, Qing Tan advanced to the Earthly Yuan Realm Late Stage.

Lin Fan, meanwhile, used the Yin Fiend Qi within Qing Tan's body to cultivate to the Earthly Yuan Realm Middle Stage Peak.

He was only one step away from breaking through to the Earthly Yuan Realm Late Stage.

In truth, if Lin Fan had not absorbed this Yin Fiend Qi, Qing Tan might have directly cultivated to the Heavenly Yuan Realm.

After these days of refinement, the Jade Marrow was already densely covered in countless tiny talismans.

Lin Fan had directly branded all of them deep within it using Yuan Power, which required an extremely high degree of control.

Had Lin Fan not mastered Chen Beixuan's artifact-refining experience, he likely would have been unable to refine it.

"The first step is finally complete."

Lin Fan let out a long breath and thought proudly, Next, I'll need to nourish its spiritual essence with Yuan Power over a long period of time.

Before him, the child-palm-sized Jade Talisman continuously flickered with a faint gleam.

Upon closer inspection, one could see countless tiny golden talismans constantly moving within the Jade Talisman, making it appear mysterious and unfathomable.

Lin Fan had condensed three basic incantations and formations within it.

They were the "Nourishing Spirit Array," the "Vajra Mantra," and the "Demon Subduing Divine Lightning."

Among them, the Nourishing Spirit Array could nurture the soul. As long as one wore the Jade Talisman, it would automatically nourish the wearer's soul.

The Vajra Mantra and Demon Subduing Divine Lightning, meanwhile, were the most basic incantations. One could protect the body, while the other was for attack, each possessing its own wondrous effects.

Lin Fan stared at the Jade Talisman and thought arrogantly, With this Jade Talisman magic artifact, I believe that even if someone at the Heavenly Yuan Realm Initial Stage comes, I can still defeat them!

Heavenly Yuan Realm martial artists were already considered experts in Qingyang Town.

Even among the Qingyang Town Four Great Powers, their strongest members were only at the Heavenly Yuan Realm Late Stage.

At present, Qingyang Town did not yet possess a single Essence Core Realm cultivator.

It could be said that only now did Lin Fan barely possess some ability to protect himself.
