Chapter 904: Chapter 373: Jiuhua Starship (Part 3)

“Here it is,” Ge Liuyang said, handing over a Jade Scroll.

“The refining methods of the Jiuhua Starship are extremely complex, and a single diagram is simply not enough for recording.

I have compiled all the related refining methods and array formation methods into this Jade Scroll.”

Chu Ning reached out to take it, then immediately scanned it with his Divine Sense.

At that glance, he found himself completely immersed in it.

Over the years, Chu Ning had also refined some things, even refining a set of magical treasures like the Five Elements Spirit Sword with quite impressive power.

However, these are still magical treasures for single combat, so the difficulty of refining them was not very high.

The reason Chu Ning’s Five Elements Spirit Sword took so much effort to refine was mainly due to his own high standards.

He sought to integrate top-tier materials like Black Profound Gold and condense an Essence Soul within it.

Although the requirements for the Artifact Refining Technique, Golden Core Magical Power, and Pill Fire intensity were not low, in terms of complexity, it wasn’t that high.

But the Jiuhua Starship before him was different.

This magical treasure is massive and its structure extremely complex, requiring thousands of materials to be refined and processed.

Moreover, the various inscriptions and Dao Runes on it are countless.

On top of that, there are all sorts of array formations involved, which in terms of complexity, was beyond anything Chu Ning had ever seen.

All these things greatly piqued Chu Ning’s interest.

So once he started looking at it, he couldn’t stop, reading it all in one go.

Even for Chu Ning, it took him three full days and nights to do so.

And this was just a first read-through without carefully analyzing and scrutinizing every time.

After he had finished reading everything, Chu Ning put down the Jade Scroll and exhaled lightly.

His eyes shone slightly as he looked at Ge Liuyang.

“Senior Brother Ge, when do you plan to start refining this treasure?”

“Immediately!” Ge Liuyang replied straightforwardly.

“The various materials have been collected over decades by the sect and are quite complete.

The refining of this treasure could very well take more than ten years, so we don’t want to delay time any further.”

Hearing Ge Liuyang’s words, Chu Ning nodded.

Indeed, the time to refine this object must be calculated in years; what Ge Liuyang said was not an exaggeration.

If just relying on the power of a Golden Core Cultivator, it would indeed take more than ten years.

However, with so many artifact refiners in the Jiuhua Sect, although many of the things require someone above a Golden Core Cultivator to refine,

there are also smaller items that Foundation Establishment Cultivators can refine.

If the whole Artifact Refining Pavilion joins forces, then of course this time could be shortened.

Chu Ning thought for a moment, then said:

“I am certainly willing to participate in the refining of this Jiuhua Divine Ship, but as for time, I cannot spend years refining without cultivating.

Senior Brother Ge, let me know which parts I need to refine, and I will arrange for that.

As for the subsequent array formations, those are to be done when the treasure nears completion.

At that time, perhaps Elder He can help out, and of course Zijin, who is also skilled in array formations.”

“Good, with your words, I am relieved.” Ge Liuyang’s face showed great joy at this moment.

He casually took another Jade Scroll from his Storage Bag.

“For the refining methods of this ship, I have been researching for nearly thirty years.

I initially wanted to see if I could advance further on my own, so I could refine more things.

Unfortunately, my cultivation has yet to break through.”

Ge Liuyang sighed slightly as he spoke to this point.

“In the past year, I reorganized things, recording all that the Artifact Refining Pavilion and I cannot refine into this Jade Scroll.

Junior Brother Chu, you are now at the Golden Core Late Stage, and your Magical Power and Divine Techniques far exceed the usual Golden Core Late Stage Cultivators.

I believe that aside from the first ten items, you should be able to refine the rest.”

Chu Ning took the Jade Scroll and looked through it, finding over a hundred items needing refinement.

Scanning from back to front, he found that he could basically refine all of them.

But when he saw the first ten items that needed refining, Chu Ning’s eyes flickered slightly.

“Senior Brother Ge, you said earlier that aside from the first ten items, I should be able to refine the others.

Do you have other arrangements for these first ten items?”

“Naturally, they need to be refined by someone else.” As Ge Liuyang spoke, the door suddenly opened.

Lu Jiakang entered with two people, who were none other than Sect Leader Yu Changge and Elder Ling Cang from the Alchemy Pavilion.

Seeing the two of them, Chu Ning couldn’t help but ask in surprise:

“Sect Leader, Senior Brother Ling, what brings you here?”

Yu Changge smiled and pointed at Ge Liuyang:

“Well, I’ve been coming regularly to learn the Artifact Refining Techniques at Elder Ge’s arrangement.”

Hearing this, Ge Liuyang laughed heartily:

“Sect Leader, it’s something that cannot be helped; there are ten items in the Jiuhua Starship that are the most difficult to refine.

We don’t have sufficient Pill Fire intensity, and we have to rely on your Nascent Soul True Flame. These things aren’t something you can directly refine.

Even with my guidance, you must first become familiar with the general refining methods.”

“I understand,” Yu Changge laughed, shaking his head.

“But since I haven’t delved deeply into artifact refining before, suddenly having to complete something of this level means my progress is slow.

Fortunately, as you’ve said, refining this treasure will take at least several years, so the time is ample.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Ning understood the situation.

He immediately smiled and said, “It doesn’t necessarily have to be the Sect Leader personally; perhaps I can give it a try too.”

Upon hearing Chu Ning’s words, all three turned to him.

Ge Liuyang hesitated and said:

“Junior Brother Chu, although you are at the Golden Core Late Stage, and I know your Magical Power has always been stronger than those of the same tier, your Pill Fire power certainly isn’t weak.

However, refining these ten items is quite challenging, not merely akin to refining Black Profound Gold.”

“I know!”

Chu Ning smiled and didn’t explain further but extended his hand, condensing a reddish-purple flame at his fingertips.

At the sight of this flame, all three couldn’t help their eyes from flickering.

Ge Liuyang and Ling Cang exclaimed in unison:

“Earth Vein Essence Fire!”
