Man Is Also a Thing Between Heaven and Earth, and Thus Lives and Dies Alongside All Creation

No fees will be charged!

The usually stern and unsmiling Second Supreme Elder was unusually agitated at this moment.

For Artifact Refiner, nothing is more exciting than personally crafting a Fourth-Rank Spirit Tool, except for breaking through to the Nascent Soul.

As the saying goes, once it happens, it will happen again.

Once you forge a Spirit Artifact, even if it's made from the easiest materials, the improvement it brings to yourself will be unimaginable.

This will lay a solid foundation for forging a second Spirit Artifact in the future.

He might even have a sudden enlightenment on the spot and break through to the Fourth-grade Low-tier Artifact Refinement Grandmaster in one fell swoop!

The Sea -Sea Calming Divine Iron is the easiest material to refine into Fourth-Rank Spirit Tool.

This is also why the Second Supreme Elder and Third Supreme Elder were so crazy.

After hearing what the Second Supreme Elder said, Zhang Xuanchen pondered for a while.

He said, "An 80% chance is not low."

But it didn't meet my requirements.

After all, the Sea Calming Divine Iron is a once-in-a-millennium find.

If the refining process fails, the item will be scrapped.

It's simply impossible to forge an ideal magical Spirit Artifact for the Great Sage.

Even with the information about Immortal Fate Information, Zhang Xuanchen couldn't guarantee that he would encounter the Sea Calming Divine Iron, such an excellent material for refining weapons, again.

We must be cautious.

If all else fails, Zhang Xuan would likely choose to forge a top-grade Third-grade Top-tier Law Artifact for the Great Sage first.

With the Profound Dragon Venerable's Legacy and the treasure vault of the Bihai Immortal Sect, he was not lacking in high-grade refining materials at this time.

Otherwise, the idea of forging Third-tier Flying Boat would not have been proposed by the Lineage.

The Second Supreme Elder understood the meaning behind Zhang Xuanchen's words.

Suppressing his excitement, he asked:

"I wonder how certain it will be for Zhang Family Head to entrust this Sea Calming Divine Iron to my Heavenly Craft Pavilion for refining?"

Robbery?

He dared not.

He feared that if Qingming True Lord descended, he would slaughter the entire Heavenly Craft Pavilion.

A foundation built over ten thousand years was destroyed in an instant.

Upon hearing the question, Zhang Xuanchen's lips curled into a smile:

"98%"

"If I'm confident in this, I'll Sea Calming Divine Iron to the Heavenly Craft Pavilion for refining."

"What! Ninety-eight percent?" The Second Supreme Elder looked at Zhang Xuanchen in disbelief.

I never expected his requirements to be so high.

A 98% certainty of success means they absolutely must succeed in refining it, right?

"Can't do it? Then forget it. To be honest, my Zhang Family has some connections with the Feather Immortal Sect."

"I believe that the Fourth Stage Artifact Refinement Grandmaster in the Feather Immortal Sect can definitely do it." With that, Zhang Xuanchen slowly walked forward.

They wanted to acquire the Sea Calming Divine Iron.

"Slow!"

Just as Zhang Xuanchen was about to put the Sea Calming Divine Iron into the Myriad Spirit Ring.

A dignified female voice rang out in the Main Hall.

Immediately afterwards, a beautiful woman dressed in Fire Phoenix Daoist Robe appeared silently in the Main Hall.

The beautiful woman's aura was restrained, revealing not a trace of emotion.

On the surface, she appears no different from any other woman.

"We have met the Grand Supreme Elder!"

Upon seeing the newcomers, the Second Supreme Elder and others respectfully bowed.

Zhang Xuanchen and the others naturally did not neglect this.

Those who are strong should be treated with due respect.

Xuanjing's voice also rang in Zhang Xuanchen's mind at this moment:

"Brother Chen, this man is dying."

Although her appearance hasn't aged, she's already showing signs of old age.

With lifespan nearing its heavenly materials and earthly treasures...

He will surely die within ten years.

Hearing this, Zhang Xuanchen's expression remained unchanged.

The Heavenly Craft Pavilion had nothing to do with him.

The Grand Supreme Elder waved his hand and said, "No need for formalities."

Then he turned his gaze to Zhang Xuanchen.

He chuckled softly and said:

"Zhang Family Head, in the art of weapon forging, no one can guarantee their success."

Even Fourth Stage Artifact Refinement Grandmaster can make mistakes when crafting a Third Stage Law Artifact.

But I assure you.

The Heavenly Craft Pavilion will do its utmost to refine this Ruyi Jingu Bang).

If we fail, my Heavenly Craft Pavilion is willing to compensate Fellow Daoist Monkey with a Third-grade Top-tier staff-type magic Law Artifact.

At the same time, all the magical Law Artifact you wish to craft today will be free of crafting fees.

How?

I can guarantee that the conditions you set will not be agreed to by the Artifact Refinement Grandmaster of the Feather Immortal Sect.

Because in his eyes, it is already an honor for you to be able to forge Spirit Artifact for you.

The failure to refine it was due to the timing not being right, not his fault.

As Artifact Refiner, she knew the temperament of Artifact Refiner very well.

Especially high-level Artifact Refiner.

Hearing this, Zhang Xuanchen nodded slightly.

He said, "Okay."

If the Grand Supreme Elder offers such conditions, how can I refuse?

That would be incredibly ungrateful.

You can give the Ruyi Jingu Bang to the Heavenly Craft Pavilion to refine it.

However, I have one condition.

Tell me about it.

"I want you to work with the Second Supreme Elder and Third Supreme Elder Grand Masters to refine it."

As far as I know, the Heavenly Craft Pavilion possesses Secret Method that allows for the Joint Refinement Technique.

"It can improve refining efficiency and success rate." Zhang Xuanchen spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, recounting the information he had gathered before coming to the Heavenly Craft Pavilion.

As the Grand Supreme Elder pondered, the Second Supreme Elder spoke first, "No!"

"The Grand Supreme Elder's lifespan is nearing its end; he should no longer engage in weapon forging."

Zhang Family Head..."

His aged eyes held a mixture of inferiority and a deeply buried love.

He never uttered these feelings aloud for over six hundred years.

Because he knew that his Senior Sister had someone she deeply loved.

But that didn't stop him from liking her.

So I don't want her to die.

"Yu'an." Before the Second Supreme Elder could finish speaking, the Grand Supreme Elder waved her hand to interrupt her:

"Humans are one with the universe, and thus share the same fate as all other creatures."

"Having entered the path of cultivation, one should see through the meaning of life, which is nothing more than a fleeting cloud."

In life, they absorb the essence of the sun and moon; in death, they scatter into stars and gentle breezes.

What sorrow is there?

Plants wither and flourish in their own time; the beginning and end of the immortal and the mortal are both part of the Great Dao.

Those who do not attain immortality are not exempt from the cycle of birth and death.

"After this weapon forging, I will attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm."

I would have no regrets even if I died.

Yu'an, the heavy responsibility of protecting the sect will then fall on your shoulders.

But you're getting old.

I'm afraid they won't be able to hold out for many more years.

"For our sect to endure forever, we must rely on those energetic young people."

"Xue Li, you must remember to always maintain a clean and upright family tradition."

We attach great importance to nurturing the next generation of disciples.

They are the sect's hope, and its future.

Those who have reached the Half-step Nascent Soul face an extremely high chance of death if they attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul.

She knew that this breakthrough would most likely result in her death.

I might as well take what I say now as my last words.

She doesn't regret her decision today.

If she delays for a few more years, even the power to maintain her appearance will dissipate, making it impossible for her to break through to the Nascent Soul.

At least for now, there is still a glimmer of hope.

Upon hearing the words of the Grand Supreme Elder, Xue Li's eyes reddened slightly.

He nodded heavily.

"I will remember the words of the Grand Supreme Elder Xue Li!"

He will definitely prioritize training younger generations of disciples!

I will live up to the expectations of the Grand Supreme Elder Dowager!

Looking at the First Empress's captivating face, the Second Supreme Elder Grand Supreme Elder her mouth as if to say something persuading, but the words changed as soon as they reached her lips:

"Senior Sister Li's carefree spirit is far beyond what Junior Brother can match."

I don't think there's any need to be so pessimistic. With your talent and mindset, Senior Sister, it's entirely possible that you can break through to the Nascent Soul."

He knew that nothing he said could stop Li Jinmian at this moment.

It's better not to say anything then.

I would be content if I could simply spend some time with her during the period of refining the Spirit Artifact.

If it weren't for that person, he was confident that Li Jinmian would break through to the Nascent Soul.

But there are no "what ifs" in this world.

If Li Jinmian cannot overcome that hurdle.

The moment that Inner Demon Tribulation manifests will be the moment of her demise.
