"I am already deeply grateful that my master does not blame me. The treasure is too precious to accept." Qin Fan understood when his master refused, and although he was reluctant, he still declined.
"Since it has been bestowed, there is no reason to take it back."
Lu Qingfeng shook his head, ignoring the two, and pointed to the black stone in front of Qin Fan, saying, "This is Magnetism Divine Iron, mined from the depths of the North Sea. I see that your flying sword is made of mediocre material. Refining it with this will instantly elevate it to a higher level. In future battles, any magic Law Treasure refined from the Five Metals Essence will melt upon contact, and will lose much of its spirituality if it touches it."
This piece of Magnetism Divine Iron was obtained by Zheng Chi and presented to Lu Qingfeng.
Lu Qingfeng casually placed it in a corner, thinking he might need it for refining artifacts later. However, he had acquired too many Law Artifact through various means over the years, including quite a few Immortal Artifact, so he simply kept it.
Seeing Qin Fan's flying sword reminded him of this Magnetism Divine Iron.
"Magnetism Divine Iron".
Qin Fan was dazzled by what he heard. Looking at the inconspicuous black stone, his eyes suddenly burned with fervor.
This Magnetism Divine Iron is far more precious than the piece of Scarlet Jade that his master gave him before.
My heart was filled with turmoil.
"Grandmaster—"
He tried his best to hold back and still declined.
Lu Qingfeng didn't give him a chance to speak, pointing to the stack of fine gauze, "This is the 'Duer Immortal Robe,' which I wove from the silk of fire silkworms in a fire cave near the pole of the earth, beneath a thousand miles of glaciers in the bitterly cold land. When not in use, it is a stack of fine gauze, thinner than a cicada's wing, only an inch in size. When in use, it is shaped like a bell, covering the entire body from head to toe, like a light, silvery-white cloud or wisp of smoke enveloping the whole body. It looks empty and clear, as if there is nothing there, yet it can spontaneously generate Scattered Adept Blazing Fire, specifically to ward off Evil Method magic and strange treasures from other sects."
This Fire Silkworm Silk is none other than the material Lu Qingfeng used to weave the brocade robes for Six Wings when he led Six Wings on his journey through the starry sky back in the Black Star Realm.
Six Wings's brocade robe was already tattered.
Lu Qingfeng returned to the Black Star Realm and made a special trip back to the old place.
Among the hundreds of hundred-year-old and thousand-year-old fire silkworms in the Fire Aperture, one actually grew into a hundred-thousand-year-old fire silkworm, whose silk was even more precious than the Magnetism Divine Iron.
Lu Qingfeng retrieved it.
She wove another brocade garment for the Golden Silkworm.
There is still some left, but it is not enough for major use.
So Lu Qingfeng used some second-grade fire silkworm silk to weave three more 'Duer Immortal Robe'.
After all, he was Immortal Artifact weapon refiner who could forge even Celestial Artifacts. Although he forged them casually, the 'Duer Immortal Robe' was still an eighth-order Law Artifact after it was completed.
In the resource-scarce Lesser Weakwater Realm, it would be an absolute top-tier Law Treasure.
It was far superior to the tattered flying sword in Qin Fan's hand. However, that flying sword was a treasure Qin Fan had cherished with his life, and it was not easy to replace. So Lu Qingfeng simply gave him a piece of Magnetism Divine Iron to repair it.
"The Duer Immortal Robe?!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Fan stared at the stack of fine gauze again.
He had only recognized it as a treasure far surpassing the 'Heavenly Pivot Sword', but he never expected it to be an unparalleled defensive immortal garment.
If he could refine them, having two Law Treasure— one for offense and one for defense—would increase his strength by at least three to five levels.
Combat power has increased far more than just a lot!
"Let's watch carefully."
Lu Qingfeng smiled when he saw Qin Fan staring at him.
A burst of Law Power shot from his fingertips, and the fine gauze instantly transformed into a long robe. The style of the robe changed at will, like a light, silvery cloud or wispy smoke.
It True Immortal.
"This--"
Zhang Yang already knew these two treasures were extraordinary, and after hearing this, he was even more shocked. He wanted to refuse them again on Qin Fan's behalf, but he was worried about offending his teacher.
But if you don't refuse, the teacher will definitely regret it later.
A dilemma.
"How nagging!"
Seeing Qin Fan looking at Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang's face hardening, Lu Qingfeng snorted and flicked his sleeve, pushing the Magnetism Divine Iron and the Duer Immortal Robe into Qin Fan's arms. "Don't worry about your master's expression."
Seeing this, Zhang Yang dared not say anything more and could only say to Qin Fan, "Since it was bestowed by our grandmaster, then accept it."
"Thank you, Grandmaster!"
Qin Fan was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly bowed to Lu Qingfeng.
This time, they were much more sincere.
"Good."
"Good."
Lu Qingfeng found his grand-disciple amusing and burst into laughter.
Early morning.
As dawn broke, the disciples of Sea-Gazing Peak got up early and rushed to Cloud Platform.
The disciples gathered in twos and threes, whispering amongst themselves.
"You despicable person!"
"Ungrateful!"
"How dare Lü Yuan draw his sword against the senior brother?"
"Sigh! Thinking back to when Lü Yuan first came down the mountain, he was only at the sixth level of Qi Refining. In just two short years, he's even surpassed the senior brother in skill. Truly—"
"What do you mean, 'going down the mountain'! That's defection!"
Indignant voices rang out from time to time, interspersed with sighs, but everyone kept sneaking glances toward the Cloud Platform.
Four disciples gathered at the front of the Cloud Platform.
Three men and one woman.
The woman was of average appearance, around twenty years old. The three male disciples were one older, one middle-aged, and one young.
Qiu Jin, the youngest and most impetuous, muttered hatefully, "That brat Lü Yuan is truly worse than a beast. Back when he first joined the sect, it was our senior brother who personally taught him swordsmanship and Thunder Method. I never imagined that not only would he betray the Great Victory Sect, but he would also dare to draw his sword against our senior brother and use such a vicious attack!"
Qiu Jin looked at his senior brother Zhao Qi, whose hair had turned gray, and saw that his wrinkled face was as pale as paper. He was filled with anger and hatred.
His fists were clenched tightly, and he wished he could go down the mountain right now to find Lü Yuan and have a match with him.
"Great Victory Sect is truly arrogant!"
"Yesterday afternoon, my senior brother and I went down the mountain to buy supplies. That Lü Yuan, along with several disciples of the Great Victory Sect, were swaggering through town, making sarcastic remarks. My senior brother got angry and drew his sword. Unexpectedly, Lü Yuan— "
Hong Tai had a square face and looked to be about thirty or forty years old. He let out a long sigh.
He went down the mountain with Zhao Qi yesterday and knows the whole story.
Zhao Qi was indignant at the humiliation inflicted upon Sea-Gazing Peak by the Great Victory Sect and challenged Xi Ping of the Great Victory Sect to a Xi Ping duel. Unexpectedly, Xi Ping used words to provoke Lü Yuan, who then stepped forward and fought Zhao Qi.
Lü Yuan truly deserves to be called one of the most talented people in Sea-Gazing Peak in recent years.
Sea-Gazing Peak, his swordsmanship and Thunder Method were already among the best. After arriving at the Great Victory Sect, he devoted himself to intensive Late Qi Refining. His swordsmanship and Thunder Method improved even further, surpassing even Zhao Qi, who had once taught him.
In the end, whether intentionally or because he couldn't retract his sword in time, he stabbed Zhao Qi in the shoulder, causing Zhao Qi a considerable injury.
Even after a night's rest, her face was still deathly pale.
It seems that it might not just be a matter of injury.
Being defeated by Lü Yuan, that ingrate, is perhaps the most unacceptable thing for Zhao Qi.
"Alright."
"Lü Yuan is wicked and has only been riding high for a moment; don't worry about him."
Among the four Late Qi Refining disciples of Sea-Gazing Peak, Bai Jing, the only woman, had a clear and melodious voice. Seeing Zhao Qi's increasingly grim expression, she quickly changed the subject, glanced around, and asked curiously, "Strange. Elder Zhao and Master should have arrived long ago by this time. Why are they so late today?"
When the two Primordial Spirit Elders were mentioned, the three of them were indeed drawn to them.
Sea-Gazing Peak has a small population, and every morning class, two Primordial Spirit Elders would be present to lead Zhang Shu and the other Qi Refining disciples in their cultivation.
If I have time later, I will guide and answer your questions one by one.
Bai Jing became a disciple of Zhang Shu, one of the two Primordial Spirit Elders.
Hong Tai and Qiu Jin were disciples of another Primordial Spirit Elder Zhao Dahai.
As for Zhao Qi—
Zhao Dahai is his father.
"I heard that both of the patriarchs have returned to the mountain. Perhaps they have something to discuss and have been delayed," Hong Tai guessed.
Qiu Jin's eyes lit up as he listened, "Both patriarchs have returned?! Will they give us a lecture today?"
True Immortal Object Spirit are rarely seen, even by disciples of our sect.
Occasionally, when they had free time, Zhang Yang and Qin Fan would also give lectures to these disciples. However, these disciples were at a very low level, and the two Primordial Spirit elders, Zhao Dahai and Zhang Shu, were more than enough to teach and answer their questions. Therefore, the number of times the Ancestor gave lectures was very limited.
"The Ancestor is giving a lecture?"
Bai Jing and Hong Tai were also moved and looked at Zhao Qi.
"I don't know either."
Zhao Qi shook his head.
In the past few days, he had seen his father, Zhao Dahai, and his aunt Zhang Shu, frequently entering and leaving the Righteous Heart Hall. Every time they came out, they were beaming with health.
It was clear that the two patriarchs were giving special training to the only two Primordial Spirit elders of Sea-Gazing Peak.
Whether this will take care of the Qi Refining disciples remains to be seen.
Zhao Qi simply didn't say anything.
"I see."
Qiu Jin was somewhat disappointed, but still held onto hope. Although it didn't make much difference to him whether it was the patriarch preaching or his master and uncles preaching, the thought of witnessing the True Immortal was still something special.
I was just thinking about it.
Suddenly, auspicious clouds broke through the mist on the mountain peak and landed on the Cloud Platform.
"They're here."
Qiu Jin's expression changed, and he quickly counted them. He saw that there were five auspicious clouds in total, and five people were standing on them.
Master Zhao Dahai and Martial Aunt Zhang Shu were both in the last row, while the person in front was a young Daoist priest. Of the two figures following the young Daoist priest, the one with white hair was the easiest to recognize—
"It's the White-Haired Patriarch!"
"And there's also Ancestor Qin!"
"Huh?"
"How strange. What is the background of this young Daoist priest, that he is able to stand in the main seat?!"
Not just Qiu Jin.
On the Cloud Platform, more than a dozen disciples saw the five people descend from the sky. Their eyes widened, their minds shaken, and they were filled with joy and confusion about the identity of the young Daoist.
No one explained.
The disciples saw two Primordial Spirit elders land on the Cloud Platform, leading them to bow upwards and address them as 'Ancestor Master'.
Then he sat cross-legged at the front.
Qiu Jin and his disciples also sat down.
On the Cloud Platform, the young Daoist and the two patriarchs of their sect sat cross-legged. Without saying much, the young Daoist spoke with profound Xuanyin sounds, instantly drawing the disciples into a state of profound mystery.
Feeling dazed and confused.
I felt an endless sense of mystery, with information about Swordsmanship and Thunder Method constantly flooding in, leaving me with no time to speculate or guess.
Her words blossomed like lotus flowers.
Golden Lotus bloom from the ground.
The preacher's teachings were truly extraordinary.
Those Golden Lotus were a convergence of Spiritual Qi, containing countless mysteries. They rose from the clouds and landed above the disciples' heads, disappearing from sight. In an instant, they felt completely refreshed, as if they had eaten the legendary Ginseng Fruit, their entire bodies cleansed.
Both their Law Power and physical bodies seemed to have been transformed.
The young Daoist priest continued his sermons without ceasing.
Auspicious Cloud rose above his head, and a Daoist appeared in the middle of them. With a single sword strike, thunder roared, bringing the art of swordsmanship and Thunder Method to its ultimate expression.
