Three Thousand Years, and the Artifact Forging Technique Was Finally Complete!

Nan Ji and Guang Chengzi's conversation was unknown to Xian Junyu. At that moment, he had already arrived at Yuanshi's Daoist Sanctuary.

"Disciple Xian Junyu requests an audience with Second Martial Uncle!"

"Yu'er, you're here. Come in."

When Yuanshi heard that Xian Junyu had arrived, he immediately let him in without another word.

Although he now had three disciples—Nan Ji, Yun Zhongzi, and Guang Chengzi—he still admired Xian Junyu just as much as before.

"How is it, Yu'er? Have you thought it over and decided to join my sect?" After having Xian Junyu sit down, Yuanshi went straight to the point.

Having him join his Chan Sect was always his first consideration.

Seeing Second Martial Uncle say this, Xian Junyu could only smile bitterly and explain, "Second Martial Uncle, why are you bringing this up again..."

"This disciple didn't come because of that. Rather, I have a favor to ask of you, Second Martial Uncle..."

"A favor?" Yuanshi was slightly puzzled.

After secretly making some deductions, he immediately understood Xian Junyu's purpose. He was willing to do this as well.

After reaching his conclusion, Yuanshi looked at Xian Junyu again and discovered that his cultivation had already broken through and that he had entered the Taiyi Realm. He was delighted, but also somewhat puzzled.

How had his cultivation broken through so quickly? Had Tongtian used pills?

What a terrible teacher! What a terrible teacher...

In Yuanshi's view, Xian Junyu's rapid breakthrough was definitely because his good younger brother Tongtian had used pills that squeezed out his potential to forcibly raise his cultivation.

"Sigh... I understand what you're asking for, but this matter can't be rushed!"

"First, take a good look at these Jade Slips of mine and build a solid foundation. Once you're ready, I'll personally guide you in putting it into practice!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several Jade Slips as tall as a person's knees appeared before Xian Junyu.

The name of the top Jade Slip was [Jade Clarity Artifact Forging Technique]!

That's right, Xian Junyu wanted to learn artifact forging. In the entire Primordial, Yuanshi was absolutely among the very best at it. He could even forge Houtian Spiritual Treasures, so naturally, Xian Junyu had to seek him out.

More importantly, Yuanshi and Tongtian's relationship was not yet too strained, and the Three Pure Ones had not yet split apart.

If he didn't learn now, who knew whether Second Martial Uncle Yuanshi would still treat him so well after they separated?

"Yes, thank you, Second Martial Uncle!"

After receiving the artifact-forging Jade Slips, Xian Junyu did not return to his own cave abode. Instead, he directly stayed at Second Martial Uncle Yuanshi's place.

For someone like Xian Junyu, who disliked studying, reading Jade Slips was sheer torture. Compared with reading Jade Slips, he preferred practical work even more.

However, for the sake of his plans, he endured his discomfort and carefully began studying the knee-high [Jade Clarity Artifact Forging Technique]!

For these three thousand years, he planned to go nowhere and focus wholeheartedly on cultivating artifact forging with Second Martial Uncle.

To build a solid foundation, he spent a full hundred years studying these Jade Slips. He only stopped after he could recite them backward and forward.

On this day, a hundred years later, the system also stirred.

[Ding! Duobao's cultivation has broken through to the early Xuanxian Realm. Randomly returning a multiple to the host... five layers of the early Grand Unity Heavenly Immortal Initial Stage cultivation!]

A major realm was divided into four stages: initial, middle, late, and perfection.

In fact, once one reached perfection, one could already attempt to break through to the next major realm. The first three stages also had differences in strength, so each was further divided into the first through ninth layers.

"He broke through to the Mystic Immortal Realm? As expected of Duobao. He actually shows signs of catching up from behind. Truly extraordinary!"

"But no matter how extraordinary you are, all you can do is contribute to me!"

Watching his Grand Unity Heavenly Immortal cultivation advance another step, the fatigue from being tormented by the Jade Slips for a hundred years instantly vanished.

For ordinary cultivators, it was difficult to focus on anything besides cultivation. Xian Junyu was different, however. With System Bro around, he had no need to waste billions of years cultivating.

He could use all those countless years he saved to learn other things. With so much time, what couldn't he learn?

Even without talent, he would force his way upward through sheer accumulation.

During these hundred years, a new disciple named Chi Jingzi had joined Yuanshi's Chan Sect. Meanwhile, two of Tongtian's Seven Attendant Immortals had also arrived: Wuyun Xian and Jingu Xian Ma Sui.

"The Twelve Golden Immortals and the Seven Attendant Immortals are gradually arriving. It seems I have to pick up the pace!"

Xian Junyu was already becoming impatient.

Now that he had laid a solid foundation in artifact forging, he could find Second Martial Uncle and formally begin.

As for how he knew that two more disciples had joined the Interception Sect while he was with the Chan Sect, it was because his system had already bound itself to the two of them.

Xian Junyu immediately went to find Second Martial Uncle.

After passing the written recitation test, he directly embarked on the path of artifact forging.

The so-called written recitation test was merely an examination of how well he had memorized the texts. It was no challenge to Xian Junyu, and he passed on his first attempt.

From that point onward, he began his twenty-nine-hundred-year journey of artifact forging.

"No, no, no. There's a problem with your technique. It isn't done like this..."

"Your sequence is wrong too. The Jade Slip's contents are only for reference. The order differs when forging different artifacts. Don't keep following the Jade Slip mechanically. You need to have ideas of your own!"

"This part is wrong too!"

"..."

It had to be said that Yuanshi was highly responsible. He was extremely strict throughout the forging process, pointing out every mistake and making Xian Junyu correct it.

He passed on everything he knew about the Dao of artifact forging, even though Xian Junyu was not his disciple.

As for Xian Junyu, one couldn't exactly say he had a talent for artifact forging. He had no particularly impressive techniques, yet he could still manage to forge a few things.

At most, he could barely become an artifact forger.

Twenty-nine hundred years passed in a flash, and the time was up.

Xian Junyu officially became an artifact forger.

Inside the Artifact Refining Room, all kinds of magical artifacts were piled throughout the room. There were ordinary Spiritual Treasures, trashy low-grade spirit artifacts, and even things that could not be considered spirit artifacts at all—in short, the floor was covered with experimental products.

"The path of artifact forging has been established. As long as you diligently practice and accumulate experience in the future, you'll be able to advance further. I also have some Innate Gold and other materials here. Take them all."

After helping him enter the path of artifact forging, Yuanshi also gave Xian Junyu some materials as a small gift from his martial uncle.

"This disciple thanks you, Second Martial Uncle!"

Looking at the materials, Xian Junyu immediately accepted them.

The things Second Martial Uncle had casually given him were no ordinary items. Every one of these innate materials was a treasure. There were hardly any to be found in the entire Primordial. They were all absolutely priceless treasures!

"There's no need for that. Practice more in the future. You may yet become a top-tier artifact forger!"

"Sigh... Yu'er, go on, go on!"

Yuanshi waved his hand slightly and directly sent Xian Junyu away.

In his view, since his good younger brother had used pills to raise Xian Junyu's cultivation, Xian Junyu would probably have difficulty achieving much on the path of cultivation. It was fine for him to focus on artifact forging instead.

He would normally have felt heartache over wasting so many artifact-forging materials, but considering that Yu'er's path to becoming a top expert had been cut off and that he could only focus on artifact forging, he felt less distressed.

Instead, he felt deep pity for Xian Junyu.
