Chapter 2850: Choosing a Blade?

He felt compassion for Gu Tianhai, knowing Gu Tianhai hadn’t had a moment’s rest since joining him, constantly running around for his matters. With Gu Tianhai, things had been much easier for him; Gu Tianhai truly became his pillar. But seeing Gu Tianhai’s pale face, he couldn’t help but worry. The people of the Destiny Family had such frail bodies. Previously, he had forcibly prolonged Gu Tianhai’s life, not knowing how long it would last. After the sect battle, he must find a way to thoroughly cure Gu Tianhai’s ailment.

"I’m fine, Young Master, don’t worry," Gu Tianhai looked at Lin Feng and asked, "By the way, what did you need me for?" He saw Lin Feng rush in, so it must be something important.

"Two things. First, you should hand over all economic dealings from the Holy Pill Pavilion to Han Xuan’er. I plan to let her take charge since you have too much on your plate, and I’m afraid your body can’t handle it. Once the sect battle is over and the sect gets back on track, you’ll have even more on your plate." Lin Feng said to Gu Tianhai. He understood Gu Tianhai fully; ever since Gu Tianhai joined him, he had been utterly loyal. Lin Feng had already considered him family, so he spoke directly, not worrying Gu Tianhai would have other thoughts.

Gu Tianhai nodded, knowing Lin Feng was acting for his own good. He was indeed feeling tired and finding someone to handle the sect’s transactions could boost the sect’s income, which would be good for Lin Feng too. So, he agreed, "Yes, Young Master. What’s the other matter?"

"I plan to refine artifacts for the sect members. Do you have any good suggestions? I recently found a huge metal ore in the Western Wasteland. I plan to use the remaining month to refine suitable weapons for all the ascenders of the sect." Lin Feng said excitedly. It had been a long time since he dabbled in alchemy or artifact refining, and his hands itched at the thought. He remembered many weapon designs from a previous auction, expecting unexpected gains.

Hearing this, Gu Tianhai also felt excited. He knew the sect members had repeatedly mentioned wanting a dharma treasure. With weapons, their strength would significantly increase. If the ascenders knew these dharma treasures were personally crafted by the Sect Master, they’d be delighted. After a moment’s thought, he said, "Honestly, I don’t have any special ideas, but since they are ascenders, and you all come from Earth, the Young Master should know the ascenders’ preferences better."

These words seemed to immediately enlighten Lin Feng. Yes, these ascenders are from Earth, and Earth’s weapons would suit them. Myriad Heavens Divine Realm’s weapons wouldn’t feel right for them. This simplifies things. He then smiled and patted Gu Tianhai’s shoulder saying, "I’ll head out then!"

"Wait, Young Master," Gu Tianhai called out to Lin Feng. After constructing the sect, there were some remaining metal materials and crystal stones, brought by demon beasts through considerable effort. Now that the sect construction is complete, he offered them to Lin Feng to see if they could be useful in refining, saying, "There’s some metal material in the refining room, see if you need anything, and some rare crystal stones, all gathered by Xiao Jiu’s subordinates."

Upon hearing this from Gu Tianhai, Lin Feng suddenly remembered and quickly nodded, saying to Gu Tianhai, "I’ll go check it out now!"

"Yes, take care, Young Master," Gu Tianhai smiled while watching Lin Feng leave, then continued sorting through his accounts. It seemed he had a lot to do, with the handover to Han Xuan’er being another big task.

Leaving Gu Tianhai, Lin Feng went straight to the refining room. Pushing the door open, he was stunned. This was what Gu Tianhai called ’some’? The room was full of materials. It seemed the little benefits given to the demon beasts paid off, as they really put in the effort. The metal materials, although not as pure as the metal ore in his space ring, had usable details. Most importantly, the crystal stones in the corner were exactly what he needed. With a wave of his hand, all the heavenly treasures were stored in his space ring.

After collecting the materials, Lin Feng left the refining room. He thought the space was too small for refining so many weapons. So, he headed to the open area near the Ascension Hall.

Flying there directly, he met Bage Tower. After greeting Bage Tower, he closed his eyes and spread his divine sense, instantly covering an area of several miles. He then used his divine sense to set up a transparent barrier within this range. He didn’t want to be disturbed during artifact refining and knew that without a barrier, once the Eternal Divine Flame ignites, the sect’s temperature would spike, making the ascenders uncomfortable.

Bage Tower was outside the barrier, watching curiously, not knowing what Lin Feng was planning.

Having set up the barrier, Lin Feng sat down at the center of the open space. He was contemplating what kind of weapons to forge for the sect’s members. On Earth, there were the eighteen martial arts, mostly involving swords and sabers. He thought whether it’s Guan Yu’s Azure Dragon Crescent Blade or Ma Biaohu’s Seven Stars Thunderclap, they’re all treasured blades. It seemed that treasured blades had the most use.

Moreover, most ascenders were strong-built men, so blades would suit them well. Since he had a limited amount of refining materials, he could only forge the same kind of weapon for all the ascenders due to time constraints. There could be no mistakes.

In his mind, he repeatedly visualized the blade’s design. Then, in his space, he began searching for the materials needed to craft these treasures. Gu Tianhai had mentioned earlier that few in the sect had brought dharma treasures, around ten people. He had crafted weapons for the female disciples, which didn’t need to be included, and the dozen who weren’t mighty enough for Divine Venerable level also didn’t need weapons for now. The remaining hundred ascenders needed dharma treasures. But forging over a hundred dharma treasures at once wasn’t easy, consuming an unimaginable amount of materials. He searched his space ring thoroughly, finding not just the metal ore, but many auxiliary materials. After sorting these materials, he piled them on the open ground.

Gazining at the heap of metal materials like a small mountain, Lin Feng smiled, seeing this as a challenge. He had never attempted to forge so many weapons at once before. He then closed his eyes, deployed his divine sense, and began sketching the blade’s outline in his mind.

Once sketched, Lin Feng confidently nodded. He was quite confident with this type of weapon since they were commonly used on Earth. However, to make them unique, he needed to put in some thought. Looking at the mountainous materials before him, he waved his hand, sorting them into categories, preparing to start refining.

"Boom!"

The Eternal Divine Flame emerged, and suddenly, the temperature within the space soared to its peak. An orb of eight different colored flames hovered above Lin Feng’s hand. He tossed the Eternal Divine Flame into the air, and in an instant, it transformed into a flame towering a hundred meters high, hovering between heaven and earth.

The fierce flames illuminated the entire area, and even outside the barrier, one could feel the blinding brightness. The Yuan Energy encompassed by the massive space began to destabilize, twisting due to the extreme heat, and even forming threads of fine black spatial cracks. Around the Eternal Divine Flame, the energy gradually vaporized, as if shrouded by layers of mist.

Bage Tower stood outside the barrier, amazed by the scene. It was like an Immortal Realm within, filled with mist, and even within his range, strong heat could be felt. He didn’t know what the Sect Master was doing, as it was his first-time witnessing such a spectacle, leaving him deeply impressed.

The Eternal Divine Flame burned fiercely within the barrier, seemingly stabilizing. The various flames shone with different lights. Lin Feng rose into the air, parallel with the Eternal Divine Flame, carefully observing its state. It had been a long time since he used the Eternal Divine Flame for alchemy or artifact refining. The fusion of the eight types of flames seemed successful.

Not until the temperature rose to a satisfactory level did Lin Feng toss the massive metal ore into the Eternal Divine Flame. The instant the ore was thrown in, sizzling sounds emanated as the sudden heat instantly melted the metal into liquid form.

However, this process took considerable time because of the unknown origin of the metal ore, which contained many impurities. The massive metal ore, during purification, produced a lot of black, unidentified dust, which was instantly burned to ash by the Eternal Divine Flame. Therefore, Lin Feng didn’t have time to investigate what it was.

Recalling that he found this metal ore in the Western Wasteland, it likely wasn’t a product of Myriad Heavens Divine Realm. However, as long as it could be used for refining, its origin didn’t matter.

"Sizzle, sizzle..."

Such minute sounds continuously emanated from the Eternal Divine Flame. Normally, with the firepower of the Eternal Divine Flame, refining such a metal ore shouldn’t take this long. Lin Feng flew around the Eternal Divine Flame a few times, sensing that this metal ore was unusual, possibly a rare metal element. But the results could only be revealed once the refining was complete.

About a couple of hours later, the metal ore transformed into a liquid and began to change. The originally gray-black metal liquid turned into a pure silvery-white, emitting a faint silver glow, like a lotus unstained by mud, clear and pristine.

Seeing this, Lin Feng was also surprised. He could feel the extraordinary metallic aura emanating from the ore, but he truly didn’t know what it was.
