We descended from the main hall at the summit.
Lu Li was somewhat bewildered.
The Jade Slip, gleaming with a pale gold hue, was slightly warm in his palm.
It made him feel as if he were in a dream.
There are many methods in the world, including Cultivation Method, Secret Method, spells, incantations, and body-refining methods.
Among them, offensive and defensive spells are the most common.
Next came numerous Secret Method and main Cultivation Method.
There are also unorthodox methods, such as the Sword Dao, the Soul Dao, the way of body refinement, and so on.
While the art of the Hundred Arts is not as precious as the art of Sword Dao, it is still extremely rare.
Especially the three-tiered ones.
Once you enter the third stage of the Dharma, everything in the Azure Pool is unparalleled.
Even the Peak Master are envious of each other.
But now...
After only meeting him once, the Peak Master of Supreme Refinement Peak True Lord Chiyang, gifted him a third-tier Dao of Artifact Refinement Cultivation Method.
This is simply illogical.
Something's glaringly wrong!
The problem is...
"If he gave me a third-tier Cultivation Method, I could still think he wanted me to practice some evil art and eventually turn me into a health supplement or something."
"At least people have heard of this tactic."
"But now, he's given me a technique for Dao of Artifact Refinement. The greatest benefit of this technique is that it allows for a significant improvement in the art of Dao of Artifact Refinement crafting."
"What good will this do him? What, is it to improve my skills so I can forge weapons for him?"
It's no wonder Lu Li couldn't understand it.
It looks really weird no matter how you look at it.
The idea of refining artifacts makes no sense either, since even Golden Core True Lord use artifacts that are at least of the third rank.
He's only at the Foundation Establishment; what can he possibly achieve?
Simple investment?
There's no need for monthly checks.
Lu Li was somewhat dazed, and in a daze, he arrived at the outer gate.
Then he remembered that he was supposed to give Changming Changye a mission.
So that they can help manage the spirit field.
We arrived at the cave abode where the Changye Changming ages.
The two of them happened to be there and saw Lu Li dressed in a green robe, exuding an otherworldly aura.
Overjoyed, they quickly bowed in greeting.
"Greetings, Master!"
Congratulations, Master, on your advancement to the inner sect!
"Yes, get up."
He waved his hand, signaling the two to stand up.
Lu Li was just about to explain the matter of the spirit field.
Lu Changye's eyes widened slightly, as if on a whim.
His body trembled as he looked up at the top of Lu Li's head.
The next second, cries of surprise echoed throughout the cave abode.
"Master! I sense that something good is about to happen to you!"
"Hmm? Good news. Do you have directions?"
This wasn't the first time Lu Li had been tested for good fortune by Changye.
I'm pretty familiar with the process now.
I became interested immediately.
After carefully considering the Changye, he spoke.
"It seems... it seems to be in the sect..."
"But I don't quite understand..."
Lu Changye scratched his head, a hint of embarrassment showing on his handsome face.
Over the years, his abilities haven't improved much.
I always only give a half-baked explanation, which makes me a little embarrassed.
Lu Li, however, was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.
"Right within the sect?"
"Could it be related to the magic I acquired today?"
"Or perhaps... within the inner sect..."
Unable to figure it out, Lu Li had no choice but to give up.
The Spiritual Power within his body was slowly mobilized, as if waiting for something.
"Buzz~!"
"Snap!"
The next second, something strange suddenly happened.
This is the Changming cave abode, cave abode also contains formations.
But this formation seems to have lacked maintenance or something else.
Suddenly, it flickered incessantly, and a piece of array material shot towards Lu Changye's head like a flying sword.
"Go!"
This was exactly what Lu Li had been waiting for.
Thoughts raced, fingers lightly flicked.
A ray of spiritual light shot out, colliding with the array materials and causing them to explode instantly.
It transformed into specks of golden light that scattered down.
"Hmm? That was quite powerful."
Feeling the backlash from that attack, Lu Li was somewhat surprised.
If this attack were to occur Changye, and the person was not properly prepared, the injuries would likely be severe.
It was only because Lu Li was at the Foundation Establishment that he could resolve the situation so easily.
but...
"Logically speaking, it shouldn't be this dangerous."
"Could it be that because I broke through to the Foundation Establishment, the backlash from the resulting good fortune has also become greater?"
Startled, Lu Li spoke in a serious tone.
" Changye night, one should not casually pray for blessings on behalf of one's teacher."
"My cultivation has improved, and if I'm not careful, it could be very dangerous for you."
"I understand, Master. Isn't this you here?"
He laughed and joked through the Changye, not really caring.
Over the years, within the Azure Pool Sect, Lu Li sheltered the two from the wind and rain.
The two had long regarded Lu Li as their support.
Lu Li remained silent and waited quietly for a moment.
Seeing that nothing else happened, they breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alright, let's get down to business."
"As your master, I now have cave abode within the inner sect where I can assign spirit field tasks."
"Both of you can come a few more times each month to help me manage the spirit fields."
"I will guide both of you in your cultivation."
The words fell.
Both of them were overjoyed and immediately followed Lu Li the General Affairs Hall to take on this long-term task.
After finishing, Lu Li was not in a hurry to return to the peak.
Then I went to the Pill Hall.
I'm planning to buy two bottles of second-tier cultivation-enhancing pills.
I can use it myself, and also send it back to Great Xia.
In the past two years, the Great Xia has finally made outstanding progress in the research of elixirs.
Not only can it analyze and study the components of first-tier pills, but it has also successfully optimized the Pill Formula for most mainstream first-tier pills.
This increased the efficacy of the pills by at least 30%, while also significantly reducing the amount of materials needed.
They even successfully trained Zhang Xuanqing to become Alchemist.
It must be said that the person the country chose was extremely suitable.
His understanding of Taoism classics and his insights into traditional Dao of Alchemy were like wings to a tiger when applied to cultivating immortality and refining elixirs.
The two complement each other, enabling the country to make rapid progress in the research of elixirs.
This also allowed Zhang Xuanqing to successfully enter the realm of alchemy master.
In today's Great Xia, this would be nothing short of a miracle.
"It's a pity... there hasn't been much progress in the research of fully automated constant-temperature Pill Furnace."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have to worry about Spirit Stone."
"Medicinal pills, especially first-tier pills, are the most consumed items in the entire three prefectures."
"If we can mass-produce pills and then have Senior Brother Xu sell them... Spirit Stone will definitely flow in continuously!"
With a sigh, Lu Li bought two bottles of Second-Tier Azure Spike Pill from the disciple on duty at the Pill Hall.
This is a special elixir for Foundation Establishment cultivators; one pill can sustain one's cultivation for several months.
It's quite effective, but also expensive; a bottle contains ten pills and costs several hundred Spirit Stone.
It is more than ten times more expensive than the Yellow Sprout Pill used by a first-level Qi Refinement cultivator.
This demonstrates the terrifying profits involved in elixirs.
Alchemy is quite different from weapon crafting; it requires extremely high levels of skill in controlling the heat and technique.
Just a hair's breadth away, and the elixir could have turned into a poison pill.
To achieve mass production, further improvements in Dao of Artifact Refinement are now necessary.
Only by overcoming all the difficulties of the fully automatic constant-temperature Pill Furnace can the goal of mass production be achieved.
With this thought in mind, Lu Li couldn't help but think of that third-tier Dao of Artifact Refinement technique Jade Slip.
A surge of warmth filled my heart.
"A third-tier Dao of Artifact Refinement technique... it should be quite extraordinary, right?"
"If I could comprehend it, or pass it back home so that the Great Xia could decipher its inner Secret Method."
"Perhaps... we really can develop a fully automated, temperature-controlled Pill Furnace!"
