Heavenly Craftsman

Chapter 26 The three diligent artifact refiners in the Heavenly Craftsman's artifact refining room were already melting materials. The blueprints for the Qi Refining magic treasures Chen Xingfeng had given them were not difficult; they could handle them using just Qi Refining stage artifact refining techniques.

It was precisely because of this that when Chen Xingfeng spoke, wanting to give Xi Yuan a lesson, they could stop immediately.

But as they stopped, Ning Ri realized his skill points had ceased increasing.

This immediately made Ning Ri keenly aware of something—

Were his skill points really increasing because others were refining artifacts?

But why didn't his Qi Refining Art skill increase when someone used the [Qi Refining Art] in front of him before?

Could it be...

Ning Ri raised an eyebrow—

It had something to do with his own skills?

At the same time.

Xi Yuan stopped what he was doing and looked at Chen Xingfeng, asking in a childish voice, "Master Xingfeng, did I do something wrong?"

Chen Xingfeng was looking at Xi Yuan and the refining furnace in front of him, which was gradually igniting with artifact fire, and said in a deep voice, "You didn't do anything wrong, you can just do better."

"When generating artifact fire, you need to pay attention to the harmony of the five elements. Your wood element is too strong. Have you been refining pills often?"

Xi Yuan nodded and said, "Yes! Master Xingfeng, you're so amazing."

Chen Xingfeng smiled and said, "Wood element represents rebirth and vitality, but the magic treasure I want you to refine doesn't need much wood element. So, you can adjust it again."

Then, Chen Xingfeng changed the subject and said, "However, blindly pursuing the fire element isn't good either. To refine a more perfect magic treasure, you need to pay attention to all five elements, especially for higher-tier magic treasures."

"If you can't coordinate the five elements well on your own, you can start with the artifact fire materials. Using external things can also help you understand yourself and adjust the five elements, just don't become dependent on them. I have a few specific methods, such as directly going to a place with a very strong wood element to generate artifact fire, which can adjust fire and wood, or directly going to..."

The rest of this long speech was directed at the artifact refining trio.

It was clear that Chen Xingfeng wasn't neglecting anyone. Since he was going to explain, naturally, everyone should benefit.

The three immediately looked thoughtful.

Ning Ri, on the other hand, pretended to listen while still studying his panel...

When everyone else wasn't refining artifacts, he thought about it and decided to immediately start the fire after Chen Xingfeng stopped.

He wanted to verify if refining artifacts himself could increase his skill points!

This was the perfect opportunity.

If everyone started working together later, it would be harder to control the variables.

BOOM--

The moment the flames rose, everyone's attention was immediately drawn to Ning Ri.

Jin Le and Liang Shuyou couldn't help but be stunned—

What was this guy's intention?

Master Xingfeng had just finished speaking, and you started?

That's too rude!

As for Chen Xingfeng himself, he showed a hint of surprise. What was the meaning of this kid's impatience?!

As for Yang Xingming, he showed a look of interest...

He was curious about what Ning Ri was up to, suddenly starting to refine after staying still for so long!

BOOM--

The moment Ning Ri channeled spiritual energy into the refining furnace, the flames burst forth, and a ball of spiritual fire instantly ignited. As the spiritual fire ignited, the colors of the five elements circulated within it.

At this moment, the surprised expressions on everyone's faces instantly changed—

Perfectly proportioned spiritual fire???

The five elements circulated, creating a cycle of life and death, making this spiritual fire seem to possess a touch of life and agility.

Everyone wondered if it was their imagination, but they felt the flames flickered unusually alluringly, becoming more and more captivating as they burned.

It reflected the shocked faces of everyone present.

At this moment, a look of horror appeared in their eyes, and they all stared at Ning Ri, finding it unbelievable—

No, buddy, were you serious about wanting perfection just now?!

Yang Xingming, on the other hand, showed a smile of "As expected"...

He knew that the Heaven Defying Sect wouldn't have sent Ning Ri here without a reason.

Now it seemed, that reason was quite significant!

If you can't find the book title, you can try searching for the author, maybe the name has been changed!

As for Ning Ri himself...

After igniting the spiritual fire, he didn't act rashly. Instead, he stood quietly for a moment, then frowned, a very subtle hint of dissatisfaction flashing across his face...

Seeing the fleeting dissatisfaction on Ning Ri's face, everyone else was stunned.

"Dude, what are you complaining about?"

"What's there to be unhappy about?"

"Is it the perfect five-element ratio of the artifact fire that's bothering you?!"

Ning Ri's reason for dissatisfaction was simple.

He thought that after his artifact refining techniques merged into [Heavenly Craftsman], it might have triggered some hidden condition—

For example, anyone who refined artifacts near him could increase his skill points.

Because of this, he wanted to see if he had this special treatment.

Could his skill points increase if he refined artifacts near himself?

If so, he wouldn't have to painstakingly practice his swordsmanship anymore.

However, at this moment, he realized that even though he had lit the artifact fire just like everyone else, his skill points hadn't changed at all...

Ning Ri picked up the nearby refining materials, his mind racing—

It seemed he'd have to let others refine artifacts to test it.

But...

Ning Ri glanced at them. Why weren't they moving?

He could only continue working himself. He directly threw a piece of iron ore into the artifact fire and began manipulating his spiritual energy to melt it. As it melted, he controlled the spiritual energy within his body, his fingers steadily unleashing strings of spiritual arts...

When the others melted materials, they flailed their hands like they were dancing, their fingers flying in a dazzling display.

Ning Ri actually wanted to form seals crazily too; he had a chuunibyou dream like that.

That would be so cool!

But his current spiritual energy didn't support such coolness.

Flashy displays came at a cost.

He could only adopt the most cost-effective method, unleashing spiritual arts at crucial moments, simple and unadorned, leaving the rest to the artifact fire...

Meanwhile.

Chen Xingfeng, who had been silent all along, took a couple of glances at Ning Ri's material melting technique before suddenly turning to transmit a message to Yang Xingming: "Have Xi Yuan learn from Ning Ri. His method is the most correct and the most suitable for Qi Refining stage artifact refiners."

"He's a very down-to-earth artifact refiner..."

He chose to transmit his message rather than speak aloud, fearing he might disrupt Ning Ri's refining process.

Upon hearing this, Yang Xingming nodded slightly and immediately transmitted a message to Xi Yuan, whose eyes lit up immediately...

After reminding Xi Yuan, Yang Xingming looked at Chen Xingfeng, about to speak.

Chen Xingfeng's voice reached his ears first: "I don't know how this kid managed it, but just with this artifact fire technique, I understand why Mo Cuidao wanted him to come over."

"He's here to show off, that bastard."

Yang Xingming: "..."

Chen Xingfeng, wanting to avoid disturbing Ning Ri, had a lot bottled up. At this moment, he could only say to Yang Xingming:

"This kid is simple, pure... He must have put a lot of hard work into his artifact refining techniques."

"This kid... Hmm, sigh, why doesn't your Lingxi Immortal Sect recruit him? Why did he go to the Heaven Defying Sect?"

"You guys are really... Forget it, I can't be bothered to talk about you."

Yang Xingming: "..."

What does that have to do with me?

However, he then looked at Ning Ri, his eyes filled with satisfaction, and nodded slightly—

Chen Xingfeng's evaluation of Ning Ri was exactly the same as his own perception of Ning Ri!

This kid is truly extraordinary!

Just then.

Chen Xingfeng's voice came again, tinged with disdain:

"Stop nodding over there. Don't look at him with such admiration. With your artifact refining fundamentals... hurry up and learn from him."

Yang Xingming: "?"

If you can't find the book by its title, you can try searching for the author. Perhaps the name has just been changed!
