Following the three major ranks of Immortal Gods-Army Lord, Marquis, and King-a few experts in artifact refining within the Human Race simplified and restructured the Immortal portion of Manhu's Artifact Refining Compendium, dividing it into three stages.
The first stage corresponded to the Immortal Army Lord level. Those who thoroughly mastered it would possess the artifact-refining secret techniques and mastery of secret patterns needed to forge divine weapons on the level of the Luo Fu Ying Pan.
The second stage corresponded to Marquis-level Immortal Gods. Those who thoroughly mastered it could forge divine weapons suitable for Marquis-level Immortals, weapons that could fetch tens of millions or even over a hundred million Hunyuan units.
The third stage corresponded to King-level Immortals. The weapons covered by this portion of the inheritance were, at minimum, suitable for high-level King-level Immortal Gods.
Weapons of that caliber could sell for at least several billion Hunyuan units. It would be nothing unusual for exceptional pieces to fetch tens of billions.
And if someone fully mastered the secret techniques of the third stage, the finest treasures they could forge would qualify as "Pseudo-Heavy Treasures." Though such treasures still fell short of true Heavy Treasures, they surpassed every type of divine weapon.
Anyone who passed all three inheritance trials could be considered highly suited to Manhu's Artifact Refining Compendium and would be permitted to access more advanced artifact-refining inheritances.
Even Li Che himself was surprised by the influence of this three-stage artifact-refining inheritance. In the first two hundred years after its release, the vast majority of Immortal Gods he knew had begun studying it.
Within the Giant Axe Arena, for example, everyone devoted themselves to studying these artifact-refining secret techniques, from the lofty Immortals directly affiliated with the Void Gold Lineage, Giant Axe's lineage, and Lan Cang's lineage
