Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire

Seven days passed quickly.

Early that morning, just as dawn broke, a vast Bluestone Square, with hundreds of Blue Stone Arena, was filled with tens of thousands of cultivators, mostly Qi Refining Cultivator.

Today is the day of the Flying Cloud Assembly. The first activity is to refine flying magical Law Artifact. After the flying magical Law Artifact are refined, the flying speed will be tested.

If the flying magic Law Artifact is of a higher grade, it can have a great advantage, and even Foundation Establishment Cultivator with profound Law Power can gain a certain advantage.

Shen Long had studied weapon crafting, but his success rate was too low.

More than 300 Second Rank Artifact Refiner signed up for the competition, with the lowest cultivation level being the Foundation Establishment Early Stage and the highest being the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment.

Half an hour later, the contestants walked onto the Blue Stone Arena, with two Foundation Establishment Cultivator on each arena.

Contestants take out their Artifact Refining Furnace and materials, then entrust their Storage Bag to relatives or friends for safekeeping, or to the Bai Clan. They are all stored on a cyan shelf in the Bluestone Square, guarded by several cultivators and protected by Formation. Only the owners of the Storage Bag can touch Storage Bag, ensuring fairness and impartiality.

A tall man in a white shirt walked up to the Main Platform and announced loudly, "I am Bai Changlong, the referee of this Flying Cloud Assembly. Weapon forging will now begin and will last for one month. After one month, we will enter the second round. Weapon forging will begin now, and external interference is strictly prohibited. Anyone who deliberately interferes with the participants will be severely punished."

As soon as he finished speaking, a thick Cyan Light Screen appeared on each of the hundreds of cyan arenas. In the middle of the Cyan Light Screen was a white light wall that divided the arena in two, so that two Artifact Refiner could refine weapons at the same time.

The Formation has a soundproofing effect, preventing interference from outsiders.

More than 300 Artifact Refiner began refining weapons. They brought their own materials, and each set was provided. The refining was done in front of all the cultivators to ensure fairness and impartiality.

Inside the Formation, one cannot see Formation is happening outside. This reduces the pressure on the Artifact Refiner. Otherwise, being surrounded by a large number of cultivators would make some Artifact Refiner nervous, leading to failure in the refining process.

The cultivators each employed their own methods to begin refining weapons.

"Eh, the Dry Gold Profound Fire! Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire!"

Su Jianghai let out a soft exclamation of surprise, his gaze falling on a graceful Gold-Skirted Girl in a Gold-Skirted Girl dress. The dress was embroidered with a pattern of five-colored flames, which seemed to be the symbol of some kind of power.

"Five Flames Palace!"

Shen Long recognized the origin of the pattern.

Five Flames Palace is a cultivation sect in the North Sea Cultivation World, proficient in the art of fire control. The former Great Elder of the Spirit Control Sect had a relationship with the Vice Palace Master of the Five Flames Palace, but now both the former Great Elder and the Vice Palace Master have passed away.

Compared to the Five Flames Palace's identity, Shen Long was more curious about the Dry Gold Profound Fire, which was a spiritual Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire Ranking, ranked 455th.

There are many kinds of spiritual objects in the world. Spiritual water, rare gold and stones, and spiritual fire are all spiritual objects. They are spiritual objects that are nurtured by the natural world under the right time, place, and human conditions. They are very difficult to replicate.

Throughout history, many kinds of Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire have been born in the Immortal Realm, and the Dry Gold Profound Fire is one of them.

Some well-meaning people compiled a Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire Ranking, listing more than 500 kinds of Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire. Heavenly Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire are rare and hard to come by. Having a Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire in hand greatly increases the efficiency of alchemy and weapon crafting, and the quality of the pills, magical Law Treasure, and magical Law Artifact produced is also relatively good.

Shen Long is Alchemist. If he could obtain a ball of Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire, he might be able to refine High-Grade Medicinal Pill.

In addition, the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire can also be used in combat, especially for cultivators who practice Fire Element Cultivation Method. Having a ball of Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire can greatly enhance their strength.

"Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire! She actually possesses Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire! What is her background?"

"I don't know him, I've never heard of him."

"Idiot, this person is a disciple of the Five Flames Palace in the North Sea Cultivation World. To possess the Dry Gold Profound Fire at such a young age, he must be a key disciple being groomed by the Five Flames Palace."

The cultivators discussed among themselves, and some of them recognized the Gold-Skirted Girl.

Among the more than three hundred Artifact Refiner, only the Gold-Skirted Girl possessed the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire, instantly becoming the focus of the entire event.

"Huh, they're actually using demonic fire to forge weapons."

Some of the cultivators' gazes fell on a handsome man in red robes. In front of him was a Red Tripod Furnace with four legs and two handles, and next to it was a red tortoise with three heads, its shell covered with flame-like patterns.

A stream of Cyan Flame shot out from one of the red turtle's heads and landed at the bottom of the Red Tripod Furnace.

Besides Innate True Fire, Formation, earth fire, and spiritual fire, some Artifact Refiner use demonic fire to refine weapons. This method of refining is considered unorthodox, and not all Fire Element Spirit Beast can assist Artifact Refiner. In addition, the refining process is prone to errors, leading to failure, such as the Spirit Beast being frightened or the Demon Power being insufficient.

Because of these shortcomings, this method of weapon forging has not been widely adopted. Only a few cultivators are willing to use this method. Of course, this method also has its advantages. If the Spirit Beast's Divine Ability are strong, the efficiency of weapon forging can be greatly improved.

"Who is this person?! He actually possesses Three-Headed Flame Turtle at the late stage of the second tier, and he's even using demonic fire to forge weapons."

A monk asked curiously.

The man in the red shirt had no obvious markings on his clothes, making it impossible to identify him.

"I know him; he's a member of the Wang Clan from Begonia Valley."

Bai Yuxian said.

"The Wang Clan Begonia Valley, so they're descendants of the Wang Clan. No wonder they have the cultivation of the Foundation Establishment Late Stage stage at such a young age, and also a Three-Headed Flame Turtle at the late second stage."

"I knew it! How could an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator possibly cultivate a late-stage second-tier Three-Headed Flame Turtle? This kind of Spirit Beast usually lives in Volcano Cluster and can spew out three different types of flames."

"Yes! The demonic fire spewed by the Three-Headed Flame Turtle is quite powerful; it would be very suitable for refining weapons."

The monks all offered their opinions, and not one of them expressed any doubt.

The Wang Clan Begonia Valley is a top-tier power in the East Hua Cultivation World, with more than ten Nascent Soul Cultivator. The Bai Clan doesn't even have a single Nascent Soul Cultivator, and the strongest cultivation sect in the Chu Kingdom Hundred Crafts Sect, only has five Nascent Soul Cultivator.

"Fellow Daoist Bai, what is this person's surname and given name?"

Shen Long asked Bai Yuxian.

"Wang Yifeng is a master of weapon crafting and a core member of the Wang Clan."

Bai Yuxian said, his tone tinged with envy.

The Bai Clan might be considered prominent in the Chu Kingdom, but in the entire East Hua Cultivation World, they are nowhere near the top. The Bai Clan Wang Clan Begonia Valley, on the other hand, is a leading force in the East Hua Cultivation World.

Shen Long secretly memorized the name, but after watching for a quarter of an hour, he lost interest. For the time being, the Artifact Refiner would not be able to forge a flying magic Law Artifact.

"By the way, Fellow Daoist Shen, have the Insect Eggs hatched yet?"

Bai Yuxian seemed to remember something and asked.

"Not so fast. I'll soak it in the Spiritual Liquid to boost its vitality first, then we'll see how it goes and use other methods."

Shen Long said.

In fact, he did nothing.

Bai Yuxian had been incubating the insect eggs for many years without success. He then handed the Insect Eggs to Shen Long Shen Long, who hatched them in just a few days. This was outrageous. Besides, if the eggs were hatched too easily, Bai Yuxian wouldn't be grateful to Shen Long.

Shen Long plans to wait a while before hatching the Insect Eggs, which is more reasonable.

Bai Yuxian nodded and said, "Fellow Daoist Shen is truly resourceful. There's nothing interesting to see in weapon crafting; let's chat at my place!"

Shen Long did not refuse and left with Bai Yuxian.

······

A Quiet Manor, with pavilions, towers, waterwheels, and long corridors.

A refined-looking man in a gold shirt, a voluptuous White-Skirted Woman, and a slender young woman in a white dress sat in a Cyan Stone Pavilion, sipping tea and chatting.

"Fairy Shen, it's been so many years! You've already advanced to the late stage. Next time we meet, you'll probably have reached the Nascent Soul Realm!"

The White-Skirted Woman said with a smile.

Wang Ruxue, Core Formation Mid Stage.

"It's not that easy to advance to the Nascent Soul Realm, Madam Wang. I'm in the East Hua Cultivation World on some business, and I need the help of the Wang Clan of Begonia Valley."

The girl in the white dress spoke sincerely.

Fairy Cold Flame was born in the Five Flames Palace of the North Sea Cultivation World.

"It depends on the matter. If it's something too big, I can't make the decision."

Wang Ruxue said.

"For important matters, I won't handle it myself. I need to find a place with the name 'Golden Carp,' which shouldn't be difficult for Madam Wang!"

"Fairy Cold Flame with a meaningful expression.

A place name containing "golden carp"? That's it?

Wang Ruxue was slightly taken aback.

"Of course, this is difficult."

"Fairy Cold Flame?"

"That's not difficult, it just takes a bit more time. I need to go back to my clan to consult the books in the Scripture Depository. Over the years, it's normal for place names to change."

Wang Ruxue said.

"Then I'll leave it to Madam Wang. I won't treat you unfairly after it's done."

"I'll have to trouble Fellow Daoist Bai this time," said Fairy Cold Flame, her gaze falling on the man in golden robes.

"I, Bai, did not help Fairy Shen, so there was no trouble on my part."

The man in the gold shirt said modestly.

Bai Changguang, Core Formation Mid Stage.

"Fellow Daoist Bai, you're too kind. In any case, you helped me this time, and I'll remember this favor. If you ever need my help in the future when you go to the North Sea Cultivation World, just let me know."

"I promise Fairy Cold Flame said.

Bai Changguang's face lit up with joy, and he said with a smile, "Definitely, definitely."

······

A month passed quickly.

Tens of thousands of cultivators gathered in a vast Bluestone Square, including Shen Long, Su Jianghai, Bai Yuxian, Wang Yifeng, and others.

Bai Changlong stood on a Blue Stone Arena and announced loudly, "There are a total of 325 participants. 110 participants failed to forge their weapons and are disqualified from the second round. Eight fellow Daoists have forged Top-Grade Dharma Artifact, 75 have forged High-grade Magical Tool, and the rest have forged Mid-grade Magical Tool. Please take out your forged flying magic Law Artifact and prepare for the flight competition. Our Bai Clan disciples will be monitoring the route. Anyone who changes their flying magic Law Artifact midway will be disqualified."

"It seems the winner of this Flying Cloud Assembly will be either Fairy Wu, Fellow Daoist Bai, or Daoist Wang."

Shen Long said.

"Fellow Daoist Shen is joking. Other fellow Daoists also have a chance."

The Gold-Skirted Girl said modestly.

Wu Sisi was born in the Five Flames Palace.

She spent only seven days refining a top-grade flying magic Law Artifact, while Wang Yifeng took almost half a month to refine it, and others took more than half a month. This shows the benefits of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire, which makes the refining process very efficient.

Wu Sisi handed over the top-grade flying Law Artifact she had crafted to the Bai Clan. The Bai Clan placed it on a shelf and assigned someone to guard it day and night, so that everyone could see the flying Law Artifact for the competition.

Through Bai Yuxian's introduction, Shen Long met Wang Yifeng and Wu Sisi.

"Yes! The grade of the flying Law Artifact is important, but the cultivator's magical Law Power is also very important."

Wang Yifeng expressed his strong agreement.

"Fellow Daoists are too modest. Different cultivators have varying levels of Law Power power, but the difference is not too great. The grade of the flying Law Artifact is still very important."

Su Jianghai said solemnly.

Even among Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator, the strength of their Law Power will certainly differ, but the difference won't be too significant.

"That's not necessarily true. Some fellow cultivators practice rather unique Cultivation Method and possess profound Law Power; that possibility cannot be ruled out."

Wu Sisi said.

Half an hour later, more than two hundred contestants stood on the Blue Stone Arena, with flying magical Law Artifact right in front of them.

"The competition has begun. Spectators should not disturb the participants."

Bai Changlong announced loudly.

As soon as they finished speaking, Wu Sisi and the others walked onto the flying Law Artifact. With a quick hand seal, the flying Law Artifact emitted a dazzling spiritual light and carried the Foundation Establishment Cultivator into the sky.

Shen Long released the Snow Wind Sparrow and followed.

Wu Sisi, Wang Yifeng, and Bai Yushuo in the lead; they have all crafted top-grade flying magical Law Artifact, allowing them to fly at relatively high speeds.

The speed of the Snow Wind Sparrow couldn't match that of a top-grade flying magic Law Artifact, and Shen Long couldn't keep up.

A slender man in a blue robe piloted a Flying Shuttle that shimmered with blue light. The blue Flying Shuttle suddenly accelerated, overtaking many Foundation Establishment Cultivator and catching up with Wu Sisi.

Shen Long was somewhat surprised and urged the Snow Wind Sparrow to give chase.

By the time Snow Wind Sparrow reached the finish line, the race was already over, and the top ten had been determined.

Wu Sisi won first place in the flight competition, Wang Yifeng came in second, Bai Yushuo came in third, and the sixth place was unexpected for everyone, a thin man in a blue robe.

The man in the blue robe was named Liu Dong. He had the cultivation level of the Foundation Establishment Late Stage. He had only refined a high-grade flying magic Law Artifact. During the flying competition, he suddenly accelerated and left many people behind.

Ordinary acceleration would be impossible to achieve this speed, and the organizers also prohibited participants from taking pills or using Secret Talisman. As such, it is very difficult to cheat, which means that this person's Law Power is exceptionally profound, which is why this was possible.

The Flying Cloud Assembly has come to a close. Liu Dong has become the biggest dark horse and has attracted much attention. According to others, Liu Dong is Rogue Cultivator, but Shen Long does not believe that Liu Dong is Rogue Cultivator. He guesses that Liu Dong is a disciple of a powerful force who is traveling.

After the Flying Cloud Assembly ended, the Artifact Refiner did not immediately leave the Marketplace. Instead, they made friends and sought advice from weapon Artifact Refiner with high skill levels to improve their own weapon refining techniques.

Shen Long is not Artifact Refiner, but he is quite skilled and is also Alchemist, so he was invited as well.

In a sprawling manor, more than thirty Foundation Establishment Cultivator, including Bai Yuxian, Bai Yushuo, Shen Long, Wu Sisi, Wang Yifeng, Liu Dong, and Xu Yue, gathered in a Cyan Stone Pavilion to enjoy tea and discuss the Dao.

"Fellow Daoist Liu, your Law Power is exceptionally profound! Even those at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment don't possess such depth."

Wu Sisi said with a smile.

Liu Dong, wielding a high-grade flying magical Law Artifact, was actually able to catch up with those who were piloting Top-Grade Dharma Artifact, demonstrating his extraordinary Law Power.
