Chapter 1995: Chapter 965:
Yuanhuo Shangren listened attentively, as he had also considered seeking powerful Artifact Refiners for assistance. This was because, if he were to refine the Fifth Rank Feather Fan himself, he could at most control the power of a single Rank-5 Feather, and would need other powerful Artifact Refiners to share the burden.
“Sect Master Chen, I would appreciate your guidance. Is there a good method to minimize failure?”
After listening, Chen Mobai pondered for a moment, realizing that developing a good relationship with the Mysterious Fire Sect would be beneficial in the future, and decided to reveal some true skills.
“During the refining process, one can find a material to fuse with the Feather, sealing and suppressing the power contained within. Once the Magic Artifact is completely formed and possesses controllable spiritual nature, using a sacrificial method can allow the Artifact Spirit to slowly release these seals, and even use this as a trigger to unleash the full potential of the Feathers.”
In the Immortal Gate, this was considered a normal operation for Artifact Refiners, but in the Tianhe Realm, it was unique.
Yuanhuo Shangren nodded repeatedly, continuing to ask for advice: “Sect Master Chen is absolutely right, may I ask which Spirit Materials are suitable?”
Chen Mobai smiled slightly and took out the newly acquired Blazing Heaven Crystal: “This item can increase the power of flames. Fellow Daoist, try the opposite approach. However, it will take quite some time to experiment with the material properties, so do not rush when refining this Fifth Rank Feather Fan, take your time to experiment.”
Yuanhuo Shangren suddenly understood and repeatedly thanked Chen Mobai for his guidance. He then took out many materials from his Storage Bag, in addition to two other Rank-5 Feathers, there were many ores and Spirit Wood.
These were all the materials he had collected to refine the Fifth Rank Feather Fan.
Chen Mobai saw the golden Spirit Wood and couldn’t help but take a look; it turned out to be Rank-5 Sun Divine Wood.
Upon inquiry, he learned that it was exchanged from Patriarch Bai Wu through Zhang Pankong’s connection.
Chen Mobai put down the Sun Divine Wood and, after observing the other Spirit Materials, gave some general pointers on handling materials including taboos and fire control.
“Thank you, Sect Master Chen. If I successfully refine this Feather Fan on the Eastern Continent, I will definitely come to express my gratitude to you personally.”
Yuanhuo Shangren kept Chen Mobai’s words in mind, expressed his gratitude once again, and carefully stored all the Spirit Materials before taking his leave.
“Master, is the Sect Master of Five Elements Sect, Chen Guixian, a Fifth Rank Artifact Refiner?”
On their return, Hong Xiu from the Mysterious Fire Sect asked Yuanhuo Shangren with surprise. She had previously inquired together with her friend Lin Qingqing about the Five Elements Sect and Danxia Pavilion, finding out that it was a Nascent Soul Major Faction in the Eastern Wilderness, but not known for Artifact Refining.
“Sect Master Chen also has another identity, known as Yi Yuan Taoist Child in the upper circles of the Eastern Continent. Sixty years ago at the Beidou Conference, he was already a Quasi-Rank-5 Artifact Refiner.”
“Yesterday at the trade fair, I saw a Magic Artifact of exquisite refinement, using only Rank-2 Spirit Material to achieve a Lower-grade Rank-3 quality, it was purely a display of skill.”
“Even if the Immortal in Flames were to act, he would be at this level. This person must have truly inherited Yi Yuan True Monarch’s Artifact Refining Technique. No wonder he ascended to the position of Yi Yuan Taoist Child with Fire Attribute Technique as a genius!”
During his speech, Yuanhuo Shangren took out a lotus-shaped treasure lantern.
This was Chen Mobai’s work from decades ago, crafted to practice the refining techniques of the Douluo Eight Scenic Lantern, producing a total of eight lanterns. Later, he combined five of them into a Five-Fire Formation, and placed them in the South Mountain Shop in the East Land for sale.
However, over time, this set of Five-Fire Formation had already scattered, and the five lanterns had spread across the world. Coincidentally, one appeared at this Beidou Conference, originally used by a Nascent Soul Cultivator to press Talisman Paper, but Yuanhuo Shangren saw its profound mystery and bought it along with the Talisman Paper.
Chen Mobai’s refined Magic Artifacts, like Qing Nu’s Elixirs, all bear his exclusive mark, for the purpose of letting people know they are his creations.
Yuanhuo Shangren inquired to Zhang Pankong about the lantern, and when the latter saw the tiny turtle engraved at the bottom, he knew it was Chen Mobai’s work.
“Indeed, Yi Yuan Taoist Child!”
Hong Xiu marveled as she took the lotus-shaped treasure lantern for examination. Under Yuanhuo Shangren’s guidance, she had assisted in refining Fourth Rank Weapons, and thus was considered a Fourth Rank Artifact Refiner. But examining this Rank-3 treasure lantern, from the refining technique to the material combination, and the restriction and Technique Law within, she could barely comprehend a few aspects.
“Is this the Fifth Rank Artifact Refiner who has inherited Yi Yuan True Monarch’s Artifact Refining Technique?”
Hong Xiu had always taken pride in being a Refiner of the Mysterious Fire Sect, believing that even in Central Earth she was an outstanding refiner.
But now, seeing Chen Mobai’s work, she felt deeply aware of her own lack of proficiency.
As a Fourth Rank Artifact Refiner compared to Yi Yuan Taoist Child, she felt like an apprentice still wandering outside the threshold.
“It’s a pity this is the Eastern Continent…”
Yuanhuo Shangren looked back at the courtyard of the Five Elements Sect, expressing his regret.
…
After sending off the guest, Chen Mobai looked at the Blazing Heaven Crystal and Nine Yang True Fire Stone in his hand, resisting the impulse to refine them immediately.
After all, the Douluo Eight Scenic Lantern is a genuine Fifth Rank Magic Artifact, unlike the already formed Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo at the time, which only needed the use of “The Union of Differences” to refine the materials one by one for enhancement. The Blazing Heaven Crystal and Nine Yang True Fire Stone, as Fifth Rank materials, embody immense power requiring Chen Mobai to be fully focused.
