Artifact Refiner hold extremely high status in every dynasty, as well as in the immortal sects of the Central Divine Dynasty!
Among martial dynasties like the Great Xia Dynasty and the Xianluo Dynasty,
Even Artifact Refiner can only forge the Amulet Battle Armor,
They were all regarded as strategic talents who could influence the rise and fall of dynasties!
For example, the Xiao Family of the Great Xia Dynasty,
They then recruited all the Artifact Refiner capable of crafting the Amulet Battle Armor into the government's fold!
certainly,
This is not only because the armor crafted by the Amulet Battle Armor Artifact Refiner allows cultivators to unleash powerful combat abilities, easily overwhelming cultivators without armor! On the other hand, the main reason why Artifact Refiner are recruited by various dynasties is that it is extremely difficult to cultivate an Amulet Battle Armor Artifact Refiner!
In some respects, the training of Artifact Refiner is even more difficult than that of an alchemist!
After all, alchemists can start by refining very low-level pills and gradually become more proficient before starting to refine lower-level pills!
However, the Artifact Refiner of various dynasties, even at the very beginning of their training, had to use extremely rare Liao Person Spirit Essence and a large amount of Marsh Python Forehead Scale, Xuan Iron, and other materials!
This means that every time Artifact Refiner practices, they could destroy a Liao Person Spirit Essence and a large number of other precious materials!
Under such circumstances, how could ordinary cultivation sects and ordinary cultivator Lineage afford to support Artifact Refiner? A mere dozen or so practice sessions would likely bankrupt a small to medium-sized Lineage or cultivation sect!
Only dynasties that control a large amount of various resources can afford to spend massive amounts of rare resources to cultivate Artifact Refiner who play a strategic role for the dynasty!
This is just Artifact Refiner capable of crafting the Amulet Battle Armor!
If it were a weapon Artifact Refiner, they would need even more rare materials, and might even need to consume a large number of more precious Demonic Pearl to practice!
That's Demonic Pearl. Therefore, most dynasties, including the Great Xia Dynasty, simply couldn't cultivate Artifact Refiner capable of crafting magical artifacts!
Only powerful immortal sects that govern numerous dynasties, similar to the Crane Immortal Sect, have sufficient financial resources to cultivate weapon Artifact Refiner can craft magical artifacts!
After all, immortal sects are all presided over by Earth Immortals, and often not just one or two. These Earth Immortals can compete for far more Demonic Pearl and various rare materials than the small dynasties below!
Even powerful sects like the Crane Immortal Sect, the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect, the Western Nether Immortal Sect, and the Northern Desolate Immortal Sect are limited to refining magical artifacts!
As for immortal artifacts, even those that are only at the initial level, no Artifact Refiner from any small or medium-sized immortal sect has been able to successfully refine them!
As everyone knows, in the entire Central Continent, apart from the Lingtai Buddhist Sect which possesses various magical Spiritual Treasure by consecrating and blessing ordinary items, other immortal sects, including the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect, only have a few Artifact Refiner capable of crafting immortal artifacts!
However, Lin Xuankong, standing before everyone, told all the Earth Immortals and over ten thousand cultivators present that he could forge immortal artifacts.
Moreover, judging from his tone, it seems that refining Early Stage Immortal Artifact is not a big deal!
Immediately, everyone started discussing it.
"Is this Mu Shiba bragging? Even in the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect, there are only a few Artifact Refiner capable of refining Early Stage Immortal Artifact, yet he claims he can!"
"Maybe it's true! This Mu Shiba isn't from a Celestial Sect. He seems to come from a remote dynasty called the Great Xia Dynasty. If he couldn't forge Celestial Artifacts himself, how could he possess so many Early Stage Immortal Artifact! A full seven Early Stage Immortal Artifact! The Celestial Sects in the Western Region of the Central Divine Dynasty probably only have this many Celestial Artifacts!"
"Tsk tsk, if this Mu Shiba really knows how to forge immortal artifacts, even if he can only forge Early Stage Immortal Artifact, he would probably be treasured by countless immortal sects, treated like a precious gem!"
"Of course! As far as I know, the Myriad Weapons Immortal Sect in the Eastern Region of Central Continent has a Second Grade Earth Immortal who can refine immortal artifacts. That Second Grade Earth Immortal is called Wan Ronggan. Although he is only at the Second Grade Earth Immortal level, even some Seventh Grade Earth Immortal and Eighth Grade Earth Immortal often ask him to refine immortal artifacts. Those are top seventh-grade and eighth-grade Earth Immortals, and they all respect him quite a bit!"
If this Mu Shiba really can forge Early Stage Immortal Artifact, wow, it's hard to imagine how welcome and revered he will be in the Crane Immortal Sect!
"This Mu Shiba should be able to refine Early Stage Immortal Artifact, right? With so many cultivators watching, how could he dare to boast? Even if he dared to boast in front of these hundreds of thousands of cultivators, he wouldn't dare to deceive those Earth Immortal seniors!"
"Wow, this is truly an eye-opener! I never imagined that the Crane Immortal Sect's Disciple Recruitment Competition Ceremony be so spectacular."
Not only did he witness firsthand the powerful cultivator capable of controlling four Early-stage Demon King level Earthwalker Dragon,
I even witnessed this Mu Shiba wielding seven Early-stage Immortal Sword and directly defeating four Early-stage Demon King level Earthwalker Dragon!
What surprised me most was that this Mu Shiba might actually be a master craftsman capable of forging Early Stage Immortal Artifact!
Amid the discussion,
The numerous earth immortals high in the sky, amidst the clouds, could no longer stand.
Led by Sect Master Li the Crane Immortal Sect, many Earth Immortals urged their clouds to descend towards Lin Xuankong's location.
The first to land beside Lin Xuankong was Sect Master Li the Crane Immortal Sect.
This dignified Late Fifth Grade Earth Immortal had a complex expression on his face, a mixture of surprise, doubt, and delight. After scrutinizing Lin Xuankong for a few moments, he asked excitedly, " Mr. Mu just said that you can refine Early Stage Immortal Artifact yourself. Is that true? What is your success rate? With enough materials, is it one in a hundred attempts, or one in eighty?"
At this point,
The fact that this dignified Sect Master Li of the Crane Immortal Sect addressed Lin Xuankong by changing his address from "Little Fellow Daoist Mu" to "Mr. Mu" shows the change in his mindset at this moment!
This Sect Master Li knew very well that if what this young Daoist Mu said was true, and he really could refine Early Stage Immortal Artifact, then the status of this young Daoist Mu in the entire Western Region of the Central Divine Dynasty would probably instantly become extremely high!
As for what Sect Master Li said—that with enough materials, one might succeed once in a hundred attempts, or once in eighty attempts—it's because even those highly respected weapon-refining masters he had met, those who could refine Early Stage Immortal Artifact, often had to refine them many times, frequently one or two hundred times, before they could succeed even once!
After all, if the master craftsmen who forged Early Stage Immortal Artifact had a high success rate, the Central Divine Dynasty would have already been overflowing with immortal artifacts. How could it be like now, where most immortals still use magical artifacts?
But,
Lin Xuankong had no idea about these things.
His weapon-refining skills came from the peerless Artifact Refining Prodigy Xiao Xiuyi, who possessed thirty times the Artifact Refining Prodigy Xiao Xiuyi. Therefore, in Lin Xuankong's view, even refining Early Stage Immortal Artifact would have a 100% success rate!
Upon hearing the words of Sect Master Li of the Crane Immortal Sect,
Lin Xuankong, who had been so confident, suddenly changed his expression, a hint of doubt appearing in his eyes.
Upon seeing Lin Xuankong's expression, Sect Master Li of the Crane Immortal Sect Sect's face flickered, and he waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "Oh dear, I was a bit too direct! Actually, the success rate of refining doesn't matter. Even if you can refine a low- Early Stage Immortal Artifact with two hundred materials, you can still be called a true weapon-refining master!"
The Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'er, smiled and said, "As far as I know, the weapon-refining master Wan Ronggan from the Eastern Region of the Central Divine Dynasty can achieve a one percent success rate in refining low- Wan Ronggan Early Stage Immortal Artifact."
Thanks to this success rate, although Master Wan was only a mid-stage Second Grade Earth Immortal, his status was comparable to that of top-tier seventh- or eighth-grade Earth Immortals. Even some powerful seventh- or eighth-grade Earth Immortals would address him as "Master" and show him great respect!
The reason Master Wan was able to achieve such a high success rate in refining artifacts was mainly because he had been refining artifacts for thousands of years. This Fellow Daoist Mu is so young, probably only seventy or eighty years old at most. I estimate that his success rate in refining Early Stage Immortal Artifact will definitely not be higher than Master Wan's. A success rate of one in three hundred would already be incredibly amazing!
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuankong was utterly astonished.
He thought to himself:
What the heck is a one percent success rate? That Master Wan only needs an average of one hundred materials to forge a single Early Stage Immortal Artifact? The Artifact Refining Prodigy Miss Xiao, has an absolute one hundred percent success rate when forging Early Stage Immortal Artifact! The difference between people is really this huge? It's probably even greater than the difference between a person and a dog!
However, when Lin Xuankong thought about how Xiao Xiuyi was able to deduce magic artifacts, high-level magic artifacts, and later Early Stage Immortal Artifact and growth-type immortal artifacts through her own research, he felt it was only natural.
There is definitely a huge difference between geniuses and ordinary people. For example, Li Xiaolan's Primordial Chaos Strange Meridian enable her to cultivate the Shadow Concealing Primordial Art. Others do not have this talent, and even if they work themselves to death, they will never be able to cultivate it successfully!
The Earth Immortals who had gathered around immediately misunderstood Lin Xuankong's astonished expression!
One of them, Third Grade Earth Immortal from the Northern Desolate Immortal Sect, suddenly burst into laughter.
He waved to Sect Master Li Crane Immortal Sect, then looked at Lin Xuankong and said with a heroic air:
" Mr. Mu, if you can truly refine Early Stage Immortal Artifact, let alone a hundred or two hundred sets of materials, I'd be willing to prepare four hundred sets if you could even do it. And the reward is up to you; anything I can afford, I'll give you!"
This Third Grade Earth Immortal from the Northern Desolate Immortal Sect actually started discussing 'business' on the spot, clearly intending to get ahead of everyone else.
Upon hearing this, Guo Haishan, Third Grade Earth Immortal of the Western Nether Immortal Sect, immediately spoke with anticipation:
"Back then, I asked Myriad Immortals Master of the Eastern Region of the Central Divine Dynasty to forge a Early Stage Immortal Artifact. Unfortunately, the waiting list alone was a thousand years long. There were just too many Earth Immortals asking Myriad Immortals Master to forge Early Stage Immortal Artifact! Moreover, powerful Earth Immortals of the seventh and eighth ranks would often cut in line. It was truly a headache!"
The reward for that Myriad Immortals Master to refine Early Stage Immortal Artifact is four hundred sets of materials!
Mr. Mu, if you can help me refine Early Stage Immortal Artifact, I can provide eight hundred sets of materials. My only request is that you refine one Early Stage Immortal Artifact for me first!
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuankong's heart skipped a beat.
Good heavens, as expected of Third Grade Earth Immortal Vice Sect Leader of the Immortal Sect! He just asked for eight hundred sets of materials!
I spent a lot of time and effort collecting materials recently, but I only managed to gather a little over a hundred sets of materials for refining Early Stage Immortal Artifact! If I obtained eight hundred sets of materials for refining Early Stage Immortal Artifact... wow, eight hundred Early Stage Immortal Artifact right away? Or several grade Third-Grade Immortal Artifact?
The Third Grade Earth Immortal from the Western Dwelling Immortal Sect standing nearby couldn't hold back any longer and spoke up directly:
"Hehehe, Guo Haishan, you're being far too stingy!"
Mr. Mu, if you agree to help me forge a Early-stage Immortal Sword first, I can immediately instruct my sect disciples to start collecting materials and prepare a thousand sets of materials for Early Stage Immortal Artifact for you to practice on!
Lin Xuankong was almost stunned by the thousand copies of the document thrown at him by this Third Grade Earth Immortal from the Western Dwelling Immortal Sect!
at this time,
Standing beside Lin Xuankong, Li Xiaohu, Hu Shuo, Han Lu, and the others were stunned when they saw the expectant faces of the many Earth Li Xiaohu and heard them talking about four hundred, eight hundred, and one thousand portions of materials for refining Early Stage Immortal Artifact.
Especially the Third Princess Xiao Ying'er, as one of Lin Xuankong's closest cultivators, naturally knew very well that Lin Xuankong's crafting of immortal artifacts was 100% successful!
Thinking of all this, and hearing the promises of these immortals, Third Princess Xiao Ying'er's mouth agape, her heart pounding wildly.
She looked at Lin Xuankong with admiration, thinking to herself: Hurry up and agree! If you agree, wouldn't that mean you can easily get one or two thousand Early Stage Immortal Artifact in the future? In that case, with a wave of your hand, you can unleash a sky full of low- Early-stage Immortal Sword, which even fourth or Fifth Grade Earth Immortal immortals wouldn't be able to withstand!
At this time,
Seeing the sudden enthusiasm of so many Earth Immortals, Sect Master Li of the Crane Immortal Sect couldn't help but secretly begin to ponder.
A moment later, he glanced at Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'er, and then secretly transmitted his voice.
After hearing her sect leader's telepathic message, Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'er immediately nodded slightly.
The Crane Immortal Fairy cleared her throat, suddenly channeling her immortal energy, and announced to the more than 100,000 cultivators around her:
"Just now, Mr. Mu directly used seven Early Stage Immortal Artifact to defeat Chang Li and successfully win this competition!"
Because the power unleashed by these two during their battle exceeded that of ordinary Layer Nine Perfection cultivators, causing considerable damage to the entire arena, the upcoming matches will likely have to be postponed for some time!
Our Crane Immortal Sect will send some array masters to rearrange the array to ensure that this situation of the array being destroyed will not occur again in the upcoming competition!
in addition,
On behalf of the Crane Immortal Sect, I hereby announce that...
Mr. Mu's strength has long surpassed that of a normal Layer Nine Perfection cultivator.
Even if there are several more rounds of competition, Mr. Mu will definitely win. Therefore, I hereby announce that Mr. Mu does not need to participate in the next round of competition. He will directly become one of the twenty-one advancing contestants and can officially become a member of my Crane Immortal Sect. Moreover, he will not join the Crane Immortal Sect as a disciple, but as the first elder of the Crane Immortal Sect!
As soon as Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'er uttered these words,
The more than 100,000 cultivators in the stands immediately turned their gazes toward Lin Xuankong, and almost every one of them showed envy on their face.
The tens of thousands of cultivators participating in this competition were all exceptionally talented, most of them geniuses among geniuses. However, Mu Shiba only fought two rounds before advancing directly to the next round and becoming a true member of the Crane Immortal Sect. Mu Shiba had become the sole exception; how could they not be envious!
Those cultivators who knew the inside story, who knew that the Crane Immortal Sect's Disciple Recruitment Competition Ceremony had a hidden agenda and involved the Sixth Heavenly Meridian Spirit Material, were extremely envious when they thought that Mu Shiba could directly advance and even become a worshipper of the Crane Immortal Sect!
Even the most talented disciples from the immortal sects among the crowd wore complex expressions.
However, after realizing that Lin Xuankong could wield seven Early Stage Immortal Artifact with a wave of his hand, even though they felt that the Crane Immortal Sect's decision was somewhat excessive, they had no choice but to accept it!
After all, they were both cultivators at the Layer Nine Perfection, so how could they possibly defeat an opponent who possessed seven Early Stage Immortal Artifact!
The location of the Five Elements Immortal Sect
The female cultivator named Feng Lingling couldn't help but show a disappointed expression. "Oh dear, I was thinking that in the later rounds, when there are fewer and fewer cultivators, I might be able to fight this Mu Shiba!"
The Crane Immortal Sect actually did this, it's so unfair!
Although this Mu Shiba possesses seven Early Stage Immortal Artifact, which is indeed very powerful, it doesn't necessarily mean he's invincible!
After saying that, she stood up looking dejected, clearly intending to shout a few words.
Xiao Yan, a genius disciple of the Five Elements Immortal Sect standing nearby, immediately pulled back his junior sister, shaking his head repeatedly.
"Junior Sister Feng, please don't act rashly!"
The reason their Crane Immortal Sect made this announcement was not because of Mu Shiba's strength, nor because Mu Shiba possessed seven low-grade Early Stage Immortal Artifact, but because Mu Shiba was highly likely to be a master craftsman who could refine Early Stage Immortal Artifact!
Didn't you see that Crane Immortal Fairy just announced Mu Shiba's identity? He joined the Crane Immortal Sect Crane Immortal Sect as a disciple, but as an enshrined member!
Moreover, since this Mu Shiba can forge Early Stage Immortal Artifact, why should our Five Elements Immortal Sect antagonize him?
If we have the chance to get to know this Mu Shiba in the future, we might even be able to ask him to help our Five Elements Immortal Sect refine a few Early Stage Immortal Artifact!
"Junior sister, you have Early Stage Immortal Artifact given to you by your grandmaster, but the other junior brothers and senior brothers have no chance to obtain Early Stage Immortal Artifact. This Mu Shiba is their only chance!"
After Xiao Yan finished speaking, the disciples of the Five Elements Immortal Sect next to him nodded slightly, clearly agreeing with Xiao Yan's words.
Hearing him say that, Feng Lingling couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
However, seeing the expressions of her fellow disciples around her, she could only sit down helplessly. "Hmph, so what if you can refine Early Stage Immortal Artifact!"
Xiao Yan immediately nodded, "Of course it's amazing!"
Feng Lingling:
She pouted slightly, feeling frustrated, but she had to admit that although her talent was strong and her various techniques and methods were also extremely powerful, she was still far inferior to a master craftsman who could forge Early Stage Immortal Artifact!
She had to admit that any weapon-refining master capable of crafting Early Stage Immortal Artifact held an extraordinary status in the Central Divine Dynasty!
Thinking of this, Feng Lingling gritted her teeth and looked at Lin Xuankong carefully, her eyes darting around as if she were thinking about something.
On Lin Xuankong's side, Li Xiaohu, Hu Shuo, Han Lu, and the others all beamed with joy upon hearing Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'er's announcement.
The seven immediately bowed and clasped their hands, saying in unison, "Congratulations, Adoptive Father, on passing the competition!"
Lin Xuankong nodded slightly, then looked at Fairy Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'er and Sect Master Li of the Crane Immortal Sect, "I thank you both for your high regard for Mu Shiba Mu Shiba!"
Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'er smiled and said, "You and Li Xiaolan are both from the Great Xia Dynasty, and Xiaolan is my sister Qu Wan'er's personal disciple, so there's no need for us to be so polite. If Mr. Mu doesn't object, I will address you as Wood Guest Official from now on!"
Lin Xuankong's expression shifted, and after a moment's thought, he nodded decisively, "Since the Immortal Sect thinks so highly of Mu Shiba, Mu Shiba naturally has no reason to refuse!"
Upon hearing this, Sect Master Li the Crane Immortal Sect immediately burst into laughter.
His face and eyes were filled with joy.
This Mu Shiba is extremely strong. He possesses a technique that can greatly enhance the strength of the body. Most importantly, he is a master craftsman. Otherwise, how could a mere cultivator from the Great Xia Dynasty possess so many Early Stage Immortal Artifact?
Now that Mu Shiba has agreed to become an honorific of the Crane Immortal Sect, he has recruited a true weapon-refining master for the Crane Immortal Sect, which is a great thing for the entire Crane Immortal Sect!
At this moment, Sect Master Li of the Crane Immortal Sect could even imagine how terrifyingly fast the overall strength of the Crane Immortal Sect would increase after the addition of this weapon-refining master!
Seeing this, the Earth Immortals from various immortal sects nearby all frowned and began to ponder.
Standing at a distance, Flame Saber Duan He and Second Prince Chang Li were both incredibly frustrated!
Especially the Second Prince Chang Li,
This guy whose cultivation was just crippled by Lin Xuankong,
Seeing the numerous Earth Immortals surrounding Lin Xuankong Lin Xuankong a cluster of flowers, even offering him various promises and making an exception for him to join the Spirit Lin Xuankong Crane Immortal Sect Crane Immortal Sect and become its worshipper.
His frustration at that moment had reached its peak.
Flame Saber Duan He, was equally frustrated. He stroked the Early Stage Immortal Artifact, the Flame Blade, in his hand, his brows furrowed.
He had completed countless extremely dangerous missions for the sake of this Early Stage Immortal Artifact of the sect, and had almost perished several times. After he was rewarded by the Supreme Elder with this Early Stage Immortal Artifact after surviving a near-death experience, he was so excited that he almost lost his mind. After all, this was one of the six Early Stage Immortal Artifact of the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect!
As it turned out, his nephew's mortal enemy easily produced seven Early Stage Immortal Artifact. Moreover, the man himself was a master craftsman. This meant that in the future, this Mu Shiba would not only be able to continuously craft Early Stage Immortal Artifact, but would also become a well-known figure in the Western Region of the Central Divine Dynasty, and a figure that everyone respected!
Thinking of this, Flame Saber Duan He, suddenly felt immense regret.
