Supreme-Grade Treasure Item, Refined

Sword Concealment Mountain is one of the forbidden areas of the Purple Mansion Holy Land. It is said that after the death of each generation of Purple Mansion sword cultivators, their natal flying swords would be hidden there.

Therefore, Sword Concealment Mountain is listed as one of the forbidden areas, and only cultivators who are also sword cultivators can enter, and each person can only enter once.

Of course, Sword Concealment Mountain is not a particularly important forbidden area in the Purple Mansion Holy Land, so these rules only apply to disciples.

Elders and other high-ranking members, however, can come and go as they please.

At that moment, Jiu Wu was hiding under a cliff in Sword Concealment Mountain.

Fortunately, although Sword Concealment Mountain is not a particularly important forbidden area, it still has various restrictions that are enough to block Divine Sense from investigating.

Therefore, although the Jiu Wu was extremely boring, the presence of the 'cell phone' allowed him to barely manage to endure it a little longer.

but...

For some reason, after finishing a game of mahjong, Jiu Wu always felt somewhat uneasy.

What's going on?

"Why do I keep feeling uneasy, as if something is about to happen? Is this... a ghost?!"

"What could possibly happen to an old man like me?"

"Although I have some enemies, this is the Purple Mansion Holy Land, so why do I have this feeling?"

He was completely baffled...

He even lost interest in playing mahjong, and started calculating with his fingers.

Although they don't know the Heaven and Earth Grand Deduction Art, cultivators at their level naturally possess some methods of deduction.

But upon realizing this, Jiu Wu was instantly shocked.

"Not good!"

"Am I... about to lose my freedom and live as a subservient person for a long time?!"

"This is outrageous! Could it be that..."

"Old Undying!!!"

Boom!

A furious shout echoed throughout Sword Concealment Mountain, and a sharp gaze, like a divine weapon, instantly made Jiu Wu feel as if he had a thorn in his back!

"Y-you... you... how did you get here?!"

Tian Qi?!

Jiu Wu jumped dozens of meters high, his expression changing drastically in fright.

"Why can't I come? How long are you going to keep hiding from me?!"

"I... I... I didn't avoid you, I had something to do, this... I was punished to go into seclusion and guard the forbidden area, I..."

"You bastard!"

Tian Qi charged forward angrily. "Does Sword Concealment Mountain need you to guard it? Today, if you don't explain what happened back then, don't even think about leaving."

"I... I have something to do, I'll go now!"

With the divination result before him, how could Jiu Wu dare to stop? He took off running!

However, Tian Qi was prepared. As soon as Jiu Wu ran out of the forbidden area, he was trapped by several layers of formations and could not break through for a while.

Just then, Tian Qi rushed into the formation. "Trying to escape?"

She sneered, "Now that you're in my hands, how could I let you escape again?"

"Now, I'm giving you a chance!"

Tian Qi walked straight up to Jiu Wu, Jiu Wu trembled and kept backing away until he was in a corner of the formation, with nowhere left to retreat.

"You have a choice!"

"Now, you choose!"

Tian Qi crossed his arms and stared at him coldly.

"I..."

Jiu Wu's eyes darted around. He didn't dare to face Tian Qi at all, and could only whisper, "I have something to do. How about we talk later?"

Snap!

A slap landed squarely on his face, instantly swelling up Jiu Wu's cheek.

"You get to choose!!!"

Jiu Wu: "O(╥╥)o..."

In the Purple Mansion Palace, Mo Daolin subtly touched his face...

Su Muxue clicked her tongue in amazement.

Zizhu pounded her chest and stamped her feet, laughing until she couldn't breathe...

"I... we already made things clear back then, that..." Jiu Wu had no choice but to make a decision.

But he still dared not face Tian Qi.

He was indeed in the wrong back then, so how can he still have the face to face it?

"Smack!"

Another hard slap, leaving Jiu Wu completely stunned.

Tian Qi remained cold. "If you chose wrong, try again!"

"..."

"┭┮┭┮..."

You promised to give me a choice!

Is this what you call a choice?

After being slapped more than a dozen times and told, "You chose the wrong one, try again!", Jiu Wu finally gave in and could only say the answer he least wanted to say.

"I was wrong, Qiqi, let's make up."

"Smack!!!!"

Another powerful slap landed, even more forceful than the previous ones. Jiu Wu was sent flying, crashing into the edge of the formation before bouncing back.

Jiu Wu: "???"

Tian Qi smiled, but tears streamed down her face. "Do you know how many years I've waited for you to say that?!"

"Seven Seven..."

For a moment, Jiu Wu hesitated, feeling a pang of pain in his heart. After all, he had truly loved her, but he had indeed made a mistake back then, so he dared not face it.

At this moment, seeing Tian Qi crying bitterly, Jiu Wu wanted to step forward to comfort him, but he was hesitant, and his outstretched hand remained unmoved for a long time.

However, the next moment, Tian Qi took the initiative to rush over and hug Jiu Wu tightly.

She even took the initiative to hold Jiu Wu's hands and hug him.

"If you ever dare to abandon me again, I will kill you in heaven and on earth, in Myriad Realms!!!"

Tian Qi spoke up angrily.

"No, no, no, it won't happen again, it will never happen again."

Jiu Wu wasn't stupid either, and said, "Actually, I already... Sigh! But I made a mistake back then, and I didn't expect you to still remember me..."

Purple Mansion Palace.

The Purple Bamboo True Person, who had been laughing heartily and almost laughing until tears streamed down his face, could no longer laugh. He was extremely depressed, and a deep sadness was hard to shake off.

"Hahaha!"

However, Xiao Zhan, the peak master of Medicine Peak, couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Zizhu, go ahead and laugh! Why aren't you laughing anymore?!"

"Haha, weren't you laughing quite happily just now?"

"If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute."

Zizhu was extremely depressed...

How can anyone still laugh like that?

He and Jiu Wu had been bickering for many years, from when they first joined the sect until now. Just now, seeing Jiu Wu being beaten by Tian Qi but not daring to fight back, he was naturally very happy.

But what about now?!

Good heavens!!!

It's unbearable to look at!

Most importantly, he, Purple Bamboo True Person, is still a single dog!

Upon closer reflection, it becomes clear that Jiu Wu had illicit relationships with other women back then... In other words, Jiu Wu had at least two women, one of whom he was incredibly devoted to.

What about myself?!

How many years have you been cultivating? Still single...

"I'm done watching, let's play mahjong! Come on, let's play mahjong!!!"

Purple Bamboo True Person was extremely frustrated and started urging people to play mahjong.

"Sour, so sour."

Su Muxue sniffed, a half-smile playing on her lips.

Mo Daolin: "... dog food, I'm full."

Artifact Refining Pavilion, in a secret room.

Wu Lian personally took action, using his newly created ' Strange Fire ' to melt the Natural Gold, and not just the Natural Gold.

A large amount of materials flew out of Wu Lian's Storage Bag, were melted by the Strange Fire, and then intertwined with the liquid formed by the Natural Gold, becoming colorful.

Then, it was refined, shaped, and refined again and again.

Wu Lian is done entirely using his most extreme methods, removing as many impurities as possible. The entire process looks like an art.

During the journey, Wu Lian explained, "To meet your requirements, Natural Gold alone is not enough; a combination of various rare metals is also needed for perfection."

"Fortunately, I have all these materials, so I'll refine them for you as best I can. Keep an eye on them!"

Rumble!

The Strange Fire burned fiercely, extremely terrifying, and the surrounding air was completely distorted.

However, in Wu Lian's hands, this Strange Fire did not dissipate in the slightest, and even Lin Fan, who was also in the secret room, did not feel the temperature rise!

The control is incredibly precise!

A good half day has passed.

The materials, refined countless times, finally began to change shape according to Lin Fan's requirements under Wu Lian's control...

The pair of earrings are crystal clear, as if made of high-quality crystal. They don't have any complicated patterns or shapes, but their simplicity is their strength.

A hairpin is exceptionally beautiful, resembling a phoenix spreading its wings, noble and extraordinary. Especially with Wu Lian's astonishing forging skills, the entire hairpin is as lifelike as a real phoenix, as if it possesses life!

"Finalizing the design is only the first step."

Wu Lian explained as he refined the food.

"At this moment, it can at most be considered to be made of extraordinary materials, but it has no power whatsoever. It doesn't even qualify as a magic weapon, let alone a spiritual weapon or a treasure!"

"Next, we need to inscribe an array into it and make it resonate with itself!"

"The more and more complex the array formations are inscribed, the stronger their power will be!"

"As you said, first we should inscribe a solid formation so that it is impenetrable by any magic and cannot be broken by swords!"

Buzz!

With a flick of his fingertips, Wu Lian gathered a wisp of True Essence and began to carve it onto the earring. The scene was terrifying, and what was even more astonishing was that it required extremely high skill!

Most of the formations used by cultivators are very difficult, except for relatively simple ones such as the Small Spirit Gathering Array, the Soundproof Barrier, and the Sound Transmission Formation!

For example, a solid formation is one of them!

But how big are the earrings?

It's just a teardrop shape and a size similar to a teardrop. To inscribe an array or even solidify an array in such a small space is only one aspect of the task!

The ultimate goal is to depict multiple arrays that complement each other without interfering with one another...

This is where the real difficulty lies!

This moment marks the end of a day.

A day later, even Wu Lian was a little tired. He stopped his right hand, which was inscribing the array, and carefully examined the earrings and hairpins in front of him.

"It's done!"

With a casual wave of his hand, the earring and hairpin floated to Qi Zixiao's front. "Top-Grade Treasure Item, though not yet mastered, are still extremely rare."

"Thank you, Uncle-Master!"

Lin Fan put away the earrings and hairpins and sincerely thanked them.

As far as he knew, in the Cultivation World, artifacts were classified into different levels, such as Mortal Weapon, magic weapons, spiritual weapons, treasure weapons, Dao weapons, Quasi-Emperor weapons, and emperor weapons.

The Sky Gazing Mirror is an extremely terrifying imperial weapon.

Mortal Weapon, as the name suggests, have no inscribed formations or special powers, and are useless to cultivators.

Ordinary Holy Land Disciple mostly used magical artifacts for their weapons and armor when they were young.

Spiritual artifacts are worth a hundred times more than magical artifacts, and only those ranked high within the inner sect, or even Direct Disciple, can obtain them.

Treasure...

Even the older generation, the Great Ascension Stage cultivators, only used magical artifacts.

Dao artifact?

That's something that only the 'big shots of Sendai' can usually own.

Imperial weapon?

Even for a sacred place, it is a treasure to be cherished!
