Fang Zelin examined each of the treasures and then categorized them one by one.

I'll think about what I'll need for the treasures I'm crafting later.

The disciples stood aside, leaving a large space for the sect leader and his group to observe their actions.

I was a little puzzled.

This time, they brought so many things; the treasure vault has been completely emptied. I wonder what the sect leaders want with all these treasures?

Almost everything has been moved out, and I have no idea what it's for.

After most of the day had passed, the treasures in front of them had been identified.

Looking at the piles of treasures neatly arranged in front of him, Fang Zelin then distributed the various treasures that had been written down earlier to each sect leader.

"Everyone can take a look at the power of these Law Treasure, see which treasures can be used, and also what formations are needed."

There is too much preparation work to do before we can start refining the Law Treasure. Fang Zelin definitely can't handle it all by himself. Everyone has to work together.

To ensure a very high success rate when the refining process begins.

If we fail, we may not be able to try again.

Upon hearing Fang Zelin's words, the sect leader and the others nodded hastily. They carefully examined the information Fang Zelin had given them while also taking out the books they carried with them to examine them closely.

Fang Zelin then took out a Law Treasure and examined it carefully. Afterward, he went to the pile of treasures in front of him and began to pick and choose.

Meanwhile, the disciples standing to the side were also assigned tasks by their respective sect leaders and began to move about.

After many years, Zhenke, who was not far away, had long lost the naivety of her youth. Now, she was making arrangements with remarkable competence.

At first glance, it appears very composed and steady.

The Sea-Calming Divine Pearl

Fang Zelin looked down carefully at the bead in front of him.

The power of the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl is naturally extremely formidable.

However, it's really unclear whether this bead in front of us can actually be refined into this treasure.

Another point is the Yao Qi within this bead.

Fang Zelin tried to refine it using alchemical fire, but quickly discovered that this method wouldn't work.

The fire could not directly penetrate the inside of the bead; instead, it felt as if it was being repelled.

To refine the Yao Qi inside the bead, one would have to break the bead directly.

However, if all the beads are broken, then there's no need to pay attention to this Yao Qi; it will dissipate on its own if there's nothing to hold Yao Qi.

After a moment's thought, Fang Zelin couldn't help but think of Tianxi.

With this in mind, Fang Zelin immediately sent a letter to Yingping Peak, asking Tianxi to come over.

Perhaps the other party has the ability to remove the Yao Qi from this bead.

Putting everything else aside, Tianxi's cultivation level is not low now, so she should be able to do it.

After the letter was sent, Fang Zelin immediately placed the bead aside and continued to think about the next steps in the refining process.

To craft such Law Treasure requires a profound understanding of Yin and Yang, knowledge of the Five Elements, and a deep comprehension of the Great Dao.

While Fang Zelin was still pondering, several groups of disciples not far away had already begun to make calculations.

Each sect leader categorized their disciples.

Some of these studies explore the applicability of various matching formations, examining which formations can be inscribed into the selected treasures.

Just as Fang Zelin had just thought, if some formations are incompatible in terms of Yin and Yang or conflicting in terms of the Five Elements, their interaction will inevitably affect the power of the formations.

It might even affect the use of the formation.

Even if Law Treasure is successfully crafted, it may be unusable or fail to achieve the expected power.

Another group of disciples, skilled in divination, were calculating which formations they would use in the future.

However, such calculations are extremely mentally taxing and may even yield no results.

Predicting the future is essentially prying into the secrets of heaven, which is extremely difficult.

Some disciples were trying to identify the five elements associated with the treasures they selected, as well as their unique characteristics.

These things were already in the materials, but to ensure there were no errors...

Now we need to check it all over again.

The task was given out, and within moments each disciple had their own things to do.

At this moment, the entire Jade Void Mountain became extremely lively.

As for the tasks that these disciples were responsible for, they each chose the places where they would work.

Soon, Jade Void Mountain was divided into several areas, and everything looked very orderly.

Seeing this, Fang Zelin thought for a moment and then sent another letter to Yingping Peak.

Judging from how hard these disciples are working, they probably won't have time to worry about meals anymore.

Since that's the case, why not just bring all the spirit rice from Yingping Peak over?

With the Spirit Rice, there's absolutely no need for anything else.

One grain of spirit rice is very filling, can slightly boost one's cultivation, and is also very convenient and delicious.

Otherwise, if all the disciples are here refining Law Treasure, they won't have time to cultivate, and their cultivation levels won't increase.

Although Lingmi's cultivation level didn't increase much, it did increase to some extent.

"Senior!"

While Fang Zelin was pondering this question, Zhenke, having already arranged everything, saw that the disciples of Jade Willow Mountain were doing well, and immediately came over as well.

Fang Zelin looked up at Zhenke beside him, and then smiled at Zhenke.

"Not bad, he's starting to look like a sect leader."

Zhenke still looks the same as she did back then, but she appears much more composed, and her aura has become much more subdued.

"Have your injuries been completely healed, senior?"

Zhenke knew about Senior Fang's previous injuries, and she came here specifically to find out more about them.

"Yes, you've fully recovered."

The injuries had been treated without informing the other cultivators, so it's perfectly normal that Zhenke didn't know.

"That's good!" Zhenke was relieved to hear that. She had been worried that Senior Fang's injuries hadn't been fully healed before he started worrying about this.

Now that the problem is solved, there's no need to worry about it anymore.

"Has Senior Fang ever glimpsed the secrets of heaven? Are we capable of refining it?"

Zhenke hesitated for a moment, then asked softly.

To be honest, she really wanted to know if this would actually work out.

Just now, some of her disciples were frowning as they were choosing formations.

The main problem is that many formations simply cannot be integrated together.

Forcing them together would involve far too many issues.

However, their current formations are simply not capable of achieving the power of the Law Treasure that Senior Fang mentioned.

Such as illusions, Soul-Bewildering Formation, Spirit-Trapping Formation, and Li Fire Formation arrays.

The power exerted by these formations, once inscribed, is truly negligible.

"I am not skilled in divination, nor have I ever sought to pry into the secrets of heaven."

Fang Zelin shook his head upon hearing this, then added, "Furthermore, each of these things is exceptionally powerful. If they could truly be crafted, it would be beyond our comprehension."

"It's impossible to use techniques of divination to discover whether such a magical Law Treasure has been forged."

Any one of these Law Treasure, if forged, could directly suppress the entire immortal sect and become its most prized possession.

It can also enhance the Immortal Sect Karmic Fortune.

Regardless of which method is chosen, they cannot foresee future success simply by glimpsing the secrets of heaven at this moment.

Hearing what Senior Fang said, Zhenke nodded.

Indeed, such a powerful Law Treasure could not possibly be discovered simply by prying into the secrets of heaven.

Even if they could discover it, the price they would pay would likely be immediate annihilation.

"In that case, Senior Fang, I'll head back to my work now!"

Having obtained what she wanted to know, Zhenke immediately went off to get busy.

Fang Zelin watched the other person leave, then lowered his head again and began to work.

There are just too many things to prepare before crafting Law Treasure.

Nearby, some disciples had already begun dismantling some houses to use as workshops for refining weapons.

In addition, based on the various magical Law Treasure to be refined, some corresponding refining tools were prepared for use at that time.

After half a day, Tianxi brought the spirit rice that Yingping Peak had stored up over the years to the Jade Void Mountain.

Although Tianxi's cultivation level was quite high, he was still somewhat frightened to see so many cultivators covering the mountain.

Approaching Fang Zelin with trepidation, she was clearly not used to being surrounded by cultivators.

Did you bring everything?

Fang Zelin glanced at what the other party had brought. Not only were there spirit rice, but also all the pills that Fang Zelin had previously refined.

The cultivation level that can be increased by spiritual rice is limited, but if you add elixirs, then it's about the same.

This can be considered a way to make up for the lack of cultivation these disciples have been unable to do on a regular basis.

Another concern for Fang Zelin was that he didn't know how long this would take to end.

If the disciples of the Daoist Sect were to experience a stagnation in their cultivation at this time, that would be a serious matter.

If the Law Treasure is successfully crafted, that's fine. But if it fails and the disciples' cultivation doesn't improve, that would be a real problem.

"As instructed by the immortal, I brought everything."

Tianxi nodded obediently and sorted the items one by one, placing them in front of her.

Fang Zelin nodded slightly upon seeing this, then took out the bead and placed it in front of the other person.

"This bead contains Yao Qi Yao Qi. See if you can extract it."

What kind of beads are these?

Tianxi, who was initially a little uneasy, calmed down after seeing the bead in front of her, and began to carefully sense it after taking it.

"A long time ago, the immortal sect eliminated a demon. It flew out of the demon's body on its own and looked like a treasure that was naturally created by heaven and earth, but we can't be completely sure yet."

Fang Zelin briefly explained the origin of the material, and then continued to ask, "Is it possible to extract it?"

Tianxi placed the bead directly in front of her chest, carefully felt it for a moment, and then opened her eyes.

"Sure, it's quite simple. However, this precious pearl is not simple; it will take some time to extract it."

As Tianxi spoke, her eyes shone brightly as she examined the precious pearl before her, a hint of surprise in her expression.

"Immortal Master, I can sense that this bead contains extremely pure water energy. Simply carrying this bead with me will enhance my cultivation!"

"The power of water?"

Fang Zelin raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this, as he hadn't sensed this thing when he tried to sense it before.

"Yes, I can feel it. It's as if there's an endless supply of water inside this bead, but it must be covered by something. I only sensed it after focusing my mind on it."

Tianxi nodded solemnly and said something.

She definitely felt those things.

If she weren't a member of this type of Aquatic Race, she probably wouldn't have been able to sense it.

"Alright, since you can do it, then it's up to you. Extract the Yao Qi as quickly as possible."

"By the way, if absorbing this Yao Qi doesn't take too much effort, you can stay here and steam some spirit rice every day. There's really no one to help out here."

Upon hearing this, Zhenke looked around. Although she didn't know what was going on here, she didn't dare to ask any questions and quickly nodded.

"Alright, this thing only needs to be carried on your person to absorb energy at any time. There's no need to put in any effort. If the Immortal Master has any instructions, Xiaoxi will handle it without a problem!"

Tianxi readily agreed, which was taken as her consent.

Seeing this, Fang Zelin was quite relieved and waved his hand to let the other party go about their business.

When Tianxi arrived just now, the cultivators on the mountain must have known about it. Knowing that Tianxi was a little demon by his side, they naturally wouldn't make things difficult for her.

He's too busy with so many things to do right now, he simply can't spare a moment.

As the sun began to set, a continuous rumbling sound started to come from not far away.

Perhaps because they were inexperienced at the beginning, the disciples who were trying to integrate the formation were completely overwhelmed and embarrassed.

The booming sound came from the formation they had just tested.

These are some methods for fusing formations that my fellow disciples over there came up with, and they were sent here for them to try and see if they can successfully fuse them.

This is something that should be tried out now, of course.

Otherwise, if we wait until the forging process has already begun before trying, and then fail, the entire forged treasure will be destroyed.

Fang Zelin heard the commotion, glanced over from a distance, and was relieved to see that none of his disciples were injured.

"Senior brother, this formation is based on the principles of Yin and Yang, and the Five Elements, which are mutually destructive. How can it be reconciled?"

The disciple, his face dark with worry, spoke with a pained expression.

The formation that just exploded was the result of them considering various aspects and making many modifications before attempting it.

Even so, it still exploded with a deafening roar immediately after the formation was activated.

In this situation, it's really hard to think of any other way to get them to keep trying.

"Increasing the Immortal Sect Karmic Fortune is not that simple; you'll have to put in more effort."

Hearing this, the senior student standing nearby patted the other person helplessly and simply said something.

Upon hearing this, the junior disciple thought about it and agreed. He sighed, then tidied up the scene to continue.
