Free Skill Points: 7.

When Ning Ri left the sect, he had 27 Free Skill Points. However, after learning the Heaven Defying Soul Splitting Technique, he only had 7 points left.

But on the flying ship, because Luo Ke was feeling melancholic, Ning Ri practiced the blade alone for two hours. As a result, his Mortal Blade Technique returned to level 4.

And at this moment.

Under the scorching heat waves in the Refining Room, Ning Ri watched with his own eyes as the skill points on his panel began to increase.

The one that was increasing was precisely [Heavenly Craftsman (Incomplete)].

Under Ning Ri's gaze, the skill points for [Heavenly Craftsman (Incomplete)]:

100 (Maxed) (Resettable)

Directly became:

101 (Maxed) (Resettable)

Ning Ri: "???"

What is going on?!

Didn't this skill already hit its cap?

Who opened it for me?

What made Ning Ri's pupils constrict even further was--

In the next second, it directly became:

107 (Maxed) (Resettable)

Ning Ri: "?"

It can increase this much?

110.

In the blink of an eye.

116.

Ning Ri: "???"

Dude...

You're not...

You can't be cheating this hard, can you?!

There are many techniques in artifact refining. Some, like furnace nurturing and artifact nurturing, are maintenance techniques. Others are techniques for transforming the form and appearance of magic treasures. For example, if someone gets tired of the color of their magic treasure and wants to change it, they can directly apply a new appearance layer or change the color without damaging the original runes. There are also techniques like adding runes. The name sounds auspicious, but in reality, it's about adding new functions to the magic treasure...

However, none of these are related to the current artifact refining process.

The current artifact refining is only meant to produce a set of magic treasures for the Qi Refining stage. Therefore, the techniques they need to use are: igniting the fire, melting materials, carving arrays, and shaping.

The other fancy techniques are not required for Qi Refining stage magic treasures.

Because of this, Liang Shuyou, Jin Le, and Jiang Wen were all skillfully igniting the refining furnaces. With a rumble--

Flames of various colors erupted between the black refining stones, but their power was not strong, only at the seventh stage of Qi Refining.

As for why it was only at the seventh stage of Qi Refining...

It was because Xi Yuan's cultivation was only at the eighth stage of Qi Refining.

If they burned too intensely, they were afraid it would cause discomfort to Young Master Yuan!

As for Ning Ri, who was at the third stage of Qi Refining, they didn't pay too much attention.

It wasn't that they didn't care about Ning Ri's feelings. They also knew that Yang Xingming had a good relationship with Ning Ri. However, artifact fire at the third stage of Qi Refining was too slow for refining!

Even if they hadn't suppressed the power of the artifact fire, their gazes couldn't help but rest on Ning Ri, fearing that Ning Ri might frown...

But when they looked at Ning Ri, it was their turn to frown.

Because they discovered that Ning Ri was completely unfazed.

The three of them were baffled.

Why wasn't this guy making any move? Young Master Yuan next door was already starting.

They didn't know that Ning Ri was deliberately not moving.

At this moment, Ning Ri didn't dare to move.

If you can't find the book title, you can try searching for the author, maybe they just changed their name!

He didn't know what kind of situation had triggered the anomaly in the panel's growth.

Precisely because of this, he was afraid that if he moved, he would disrupt the process.

What if the real situation was: the panel had a bug, mistaking someone else's artifact refining as his own.

The panel then calculated: My host is refining really well, this is truly shocking.

And then it started growing infinitely for itself.

As a result, when he started refining, the panel realized the accounts didn't match. The host's true artifact refining talent was 0, and it directly stopped the skill points. What then?

This wouldn't do!

There were still six hours left. With his [Heavenly Craftsman] level, it was enough time to refine a complete set of magic treasures.

And in just this short while--

His [Heavenly Craftsman (Incomplete)] had already reached 125 points.

This was simply outrageous.

His efficiency in increasing skill points through blade cultivation wasn't even this rapid!

And at this moment.

Ning Ri suddenly noticed that the words "Capped" in the panel's [Heavenly Craftsman (Incomplete) (Capped) (Resettable)] suddenly turned red.

"It's over? They found out I was exploiting a bug?"

Ning Ri's heart sank.

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Ning Ri saw that not only did the words "(Capped)" turn red, they also rapidly became bold.

After turning bold and red, the 125 skill points in [Heavenly Craftsman (Incomplete)] instantly became 100 with a swish.

Ning Ri: "?!"

At that moment, Ning Ri felt like the sky had fallen. This kind of thing couldn't be undone!

But before the heartache could flood his chest, he caught a glimpse of...

The Free Skill Points below had become: 32.

Ah, so it was just a reset. That's fine then.

Immediately after.

The skill points for [Heavenly Craftsman (Incomplete)] rose back to 101.

But this time it was different from before. As soon as the skill points appeared, they were immediately reset.

Gain one point, reset once.

In the blink of an eye, the Free Skill Points had already reached 37.

Ning Ri's expression remained calm, but inwardly he was dumbfounded.

He was so shocked that his blocked acupoints seemed to have opened a little, and some of his kidney stones had even shattered.

This was too exaggerated!

Just then.

Chen Xingfeng, who was not far away, suddenly turned his head and said to Ning Ri indifferently, "Ning Ri, what are you still spacing out for? Aren't you going to start?"

Hearing this, Ning Ri was stunned for a moment, then replied, "Master Xingfeng, I... I was contemplating how to begin perfectly."

When he had first entered the Refining Room, Chen Xingfeng had asked for the names of Jiang Wen, Jiang Wu, Liang Shuyou, and Jin Le, but he had specifically not asked Ning Ri.

Ning Ri hadn't paid it any mind, thinking that perhaps Chen Xingfeng didn't take him seriously at all.

As soon as Ning Ri finished speaking, Chen Xingfeng let out a scoff, "Heh, don't overthink it. Perfection? You're just a disciple of Mo Cuidao. How perfect can you be?"

Ning Ri: "!"

The old guy is mocking me?

Has he been possessed by Fear Anomaly too?

But Ning Ri didn't mind, because he could tell that Chen Xingfeng's target of mockery seemed to be Mo Cuidao.

With this thought, Ning Ri said, "Master Xingfeng is right. This junior is dull-witted and will always be a disciple with limited learning ability. I will certainly not be able to achieve perfection. Only after being enlightened by Master did I realize that perfection cannot be achieved by overthinking. This disciple will start immediately. Thank you for your guidance, Master!"

Ning Ri did not admit that Mo Cuidao was incompetent, nor did he refute Chen Xingfeng. He simply said that he himself was not smart enough to learn everything, and he also flattered Chen Xingfeng a bit, hoping Chen Xingfeng would be satisfied.

But Chen Xingfeng just shook his head, showing no particular expression.

At this time, Ning Ri could only place his hand on the Refining Furnace, preparing to ignite it. At the same time, he noticed that while he was chatting with Chen Xingfeng, the Free Skill Points had already reached 57.

It's increased by 814.29% since I entered the Refining Room!

This is too much of an increase!

But Ning Ri still had one nagging question—

What exactly caused this increase?

Just then.

Chen Xingfeng suddenly said to Xi Yuan, "Hold on a moment, I'll explain it to you here."

As soon as he said that, the other three people in the Refining Room perked up their ears and paused their actions...

And at this very moment.

Ning Ri looked at the number on the panel that had abruptly stopped and his expression suddenly changed—

I think I know the reason for the increase.

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you can find it next time.
