[Host]: Ning Ri [Skills]: 1. [Mortal Blade Technique]: 4 (Can Reset) 2. [Qi Refining Art]: 3 (Can Reset) 3. [Gale Step · Incomplete]: 3 (Capped) (Can Reset) 4. [Crocodile Turtle Iron Bone Skill · Incomplete]: 0 5. [Spirit Absorption Technique]: 10 (Capped) (Can Reset) 6. [Heavenly Craftsman · Incomplete]: 100 (Capped) (Can Reset) 7. [Heaven Defying Soul Splitting Technique]: 20 (Can Reset) 8. [Lightning Control Palm]: 0 Free Skill Points: 7.
When Ning Ri left the sect, he had originally possessed 27 Free Skill Points. But because he had learned the Heaven Defying Soul Splitting Technique, only 7 Free Skill Points remained.
However, on the flying vessel, Luo Ke had been feeling gloomy, so Ning Ri practiced his blade alone for two hours. As a result, his Mortal Blade Technique had returned to 4 points.
And at this moment.
Under the roasting waves of heat inside the Refining Room, Ning Ri watched with his own eyes as the skill points on his panel began to rise.
And the one rising was precisely [Heavenly Craftsman · Incomplete].
Under Ning Ri's gaze, the skill points for [Heavenly Craftsman · Incomplete]:
100 (Capped) (Can Reset)
Directly became:
101 (Capped) (Can Reset)
Ning Ri: "???"
What was going on?!
Wasn't this skill already capped?
Who had uncapped it for me?
What made Ning Ri's pupils contract even more was—
The very next second, it directly became:
107 (Capped) (Can Reset)
Ning Ri: "?"
It could rise that much?
110.
In the blink of an eye.
116.
Ning Ri: "???"
Brother...
You couldn't be—
Even if you were cheating, you couldn't cheat this hard, right?!
There were many techniques involved in artifact refining. Things like nurturing the furnace and nurturing artifacts were maintenance techniques. Then there were techniques aimed at changing a magic treasure's shape or appearance. For example, if someone grew tired of a magic treasure's color and wanted to change it, they could either directly apply a new outer layer or recolor it without damaging the original runes. There were also things like adding runes. The name sounded quite auspicious, but put plainly, it meant giving a magic treasure new functions...
However, none of those had anything to do with this round of artifact refining.
This time, they merely needed to refine a set of Qi Refining-stage magic treasures. Thus, the artifact-refining techniques they needed were: igniting the fire, melting materials, engraving arrays, and shaping.
All that fancy, flowery stuff was unnecessary for Qi Refining magic treasures.
For that reason, Liang Shuyou, Jin Le, and Jiang Wen were all skillfully igniting the Refining Furnace. With a thunderous boom—
Multicolored flames burst forth from between the black refining stones, but none of them were particularly powerful. They were only at the Seventh Stage Qi Refining.
As for why they were only at the Seventh Stage Qi Refining...
It was because Xi Yuan's cultivation was only at the Eighth Stage Qi Refining.
If they burned things too fiercely, they were afraid it would give Young Master Yuan an unpleasant experience!
As for Ning Ri, who was only at the Third Stage Qi Refining, they did not pay much attention to him.
It was not that they did not care about Ning Ri's feelings. They also knew that Yang Xingming had a good relationship with Ning Ri. But Third Stage Qi Refining Artifact Fire was simply too slow for refining artifacts!
Still, even though they had not lowered the power of the Artifact Fire, their gazes could not help drifting toward Ning Ri, afraid that he might furrow his brow...
Yet when they looked at Ning Ri, it was their own brows that furrowed instead.
Because they discovered that Ning Ri had not moved at all.
This left all three of them puzzled.
Why wasn't this guy moving in the slightest? Young Master Yuan next door was practically about to make a move already.
They did not know that Ning Ri was deliberately not moving.
At this moment, Ning Ri did not dare move.
If you can't find it by searching the book title, try searching the author instead. It may have simply been renamed!
He did not know what had triggered the panel's bizarre increase.
For that reason, he was afraid that if he moved, he would disrupt the process.
What if the real situation was this: the panel had bugged out and mistaken someone else's artifact refining for his own.
The panel calculated it all: My host is refining so well. This is truly shocking.
And then it gave him unlimited increases.
But once he started refining himself, what if the panel realized the numbers did not match? What if it discovered that its host's actual artifact-refining talent was zero and directly stopped giving him skill points?
That would not do!
There were still six hours left anyway. With his [Heavenly Craftsman] level, there was enough time to refine an entire set of magic treasures.
And in just this short while—
His [Heavenly Craftsman · Incomplete] had already reached 125 points.
This was simply outrageous.
Even the efficiency with which his blade practice increased skill points had never been this ferocious!
And right at that moment.
Ning Ri suddenly discovered that the three words "Capped" in [Heavenly Craftsman · Incomplete] (Capped) (Can Reset) abruptly turned red.
"It's over? They found the bug?"
Ning Ri's heart skipped a beat.
The moment that thought crossed his mind, Ning Ri discovered that the words "Capped" had not only turned red, but were rapidly becoming bold.
After turning bold and red, the 125 skill points of [Heavenly Craftsman · Incomplete] instantly swished back down to 100.
Ning Ri: "?!"
At that moment, Ning Ri felt as though the sky had collapsed. Don't do this to me!
But before the pain in his heart could flood his chest, he caught sight of...
The Free Skill Points below had become: 32.
Ah, so it had merely reset the points. Then it was fine.
Immediately after.
The skill points of [Heavenly Craftsman · Incomplete] rose back to 101.
But this time was different from before. The instant the skill point appeared, it was immediately reset.
It rose one point and reset once.
In the blink of an eye, the Free Skill Points had already reached 37.
Ning Ri looked calm on the surface, but inwardly, he was dumbfounded.
He was so shocked that even his blocked acupoints seemed to have opened a little, and some of his stones seemed to have shattered.
This was far too exaggerated!
Right then.
Chen Xingfeng, not far away, suddenly turned his head and said flatly to Ning Ri, "Ning Ri, what are you standing around for? Are you not going to make a move?"
Hearing this, Ning Ri froze for a moment before saying, "Master Xingfeng, I... I was considering how to make my move perfectly."
When they had first entered the Refining Room, Chen Xingfeng had asked Jiang Wen, Jiang Wu, Liang Shuyou, and Jin Le for their names, but he alone had not asked Ning Ri.
Ning Ri had not minded. He felt that perhaps Chen Xingfeng simply had not considered him worth noticing.
But as soon as Ning Ri finished speaking, Chen Xingfeng let out a mocking laugh. "Heh heh, don't overthink it. Perfect? No matter what you do, you're still only taught by Mo Cuidao. How perfect can you possibly be?"
Ning Ri: "!"
The old geezer was taunting him?
Had Fear Anomaly gotten into his head too?
But Ning Ri did not mind, because he could tell that Chen Xingfeng's target of mockery seemed to be Mo Cuidao.
Thinking that, Ning Ri said, "Master Xingfeng is right. This junior is dull-witted and will always remain a disciple. My ability to learn is limited, so I naturally cannot achieve perfection in every aspect. Only after Master's guidance did I realize that perfection cannot be achieved merely by overthinking. This disciple will begin immediately. Thank you, Master, for your explanation!"
Ning Ri had neither admitted that Mo Cuidao was incapable nor refuted Chen Xingfeng. He merely said that his own brain was poor and he could not learn everything, while incidentally flattering Chen Xingfeng in hopes that Chen Xingfeng would be satisfied.
But Chen Xingfeng merely shook his head without showing any reaction.
At this point, Ning Ri could only press his hand against the Refining Furnace and prepare to ignite it. At the same time, he noticed that while he had been chatting with Chen Xingfeng, his Free Skill Points had already reached 57.
From entering the Refining Room until now, they had increased by 814.29%!
This was rising far too quickly!
Yet one question still lingered in Ning Ri's mind—
What exactly was causing this increase?
Right then.
Chen Xingfeng suddenly said to Xi Yuan, "Stop for a moment. Let me explain this part to you."
The moment those words came out, the other three people in the Refining Room all pricked up their ears in unison, their movements pausing...
And at that very moment.
Looking at the number on his panel that had abruptly stopped, Ning Ri's expression suddenly changed—
I think I know what is causing the increase.
If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you won't have trouble finding it next time!
