Chapter 1064 - 491: Refining Qingzhi Again; Heading to Xinzheng

It was not surprising for Chen Ye to have such a thought.

The Medicine King Valley reigns over Yan Nan and is renowned for alchemy, so naturally, its ability to cultivate spiritual plants and Spiritual Medicine wouldn’t be lacking.

Not to mention, within the Medicine King Valley, the Earth Vein Mother and Child Suoluo Tree is also cultivated.

Therefore, the Spirit Vein in the valley must certainly be of the highest excellence!

However, speaking of which,

Although the Storage Bag lacks the Heaven and Earth Yin Yang Qi, Chen Ye had acquired a supreme treasure named the Wood Element Dao Stele in the Songyang Cave Heaven years ago.

This treasure is of Tier Three quality, containing Dao laws, boundlessly mysterious, and capable of transforming a certain space into a small Grotto Heaven that nurtures life.

If all Five Elements Dao Steles are gathered, a Grotto Heaven could be fully developed!

"Unfortunately, I left the Wood Element Dao Stele in Lisong Valley to place the demon vine, otherwise, I could have placed the Dao Stele in the Storage Bag and begun cultivating the residual seed earlier."

Chen Ye thought to himself.

At this moment, he could not return to Lisong Valley to retrieve the Dao Stele, as the journey was too far and would delay important matters.

But the existence of the Wood Element Dao Stele undoubtedly solved one problem for him.

That is, spirit plants require time to grow, and Chen Ye couldn’t stay in one place waiting for it to mature, but if he had the Dao Stele, he could place the residual seed in the Storage Bag.

"From my current perspective, at its peak, the Wood Element Dao Stele should be a Tier Three Upper Grade Spiritual Artifact, which is at the level of the Leakless Great Zhenren."

"Yet it has been supplying the grand array of the Songyang Cave Heaven for years, and after the demise of the Songyang Sect, lacking the refinement offerings for a millennium, it has become significantly depleted."

"Fortunately, the Five Elements Dao Steles form a system, supporting each other. A common Spiritual Artifact might have dropped in grade, but the Wood Element Dao Stele still maintains at Tier Three Middle Grade."

Chen Ye couldn’t help but covet the other Dao Steles a bit.

Having all five Dao Steles together would unleash the true wonders of the Dao Stele.

At that time, not only could it host residual seeds, it could even directly replace a Spirit Vein!

Alas,

Among the five Dao Steles of the Songyang Cave Heaven, only the earth, wood, and metal steles remain relatively intact, while the water and fire steles are severely damaged.

Additionally, after the collapse of the Songyang Cave Heaven, the Ten Thousand Dao Forest disintegrated; Chen Ye took the Wood Element Dao Stele, and the Refining God Sect took the Metal Element Dao Stele.

As for the whereabouts of the remaining three Dao Steles, they are lost without a trace,

"Dao Steles are extraordinary objects and most likely end up in the hands of an exceptional cultivator... as long as I keep walking the world, there will eventually be a chance to encounter them again."

If it were just some ordinary magical treasures, pills, or even mundane trinkets, once lost in this vast and endless Immortal Cultivation Realm, it would be like a drop in the sea, a mud ox entering the ocean, likely never to be seen again in this lifetime.

But treasures like the Dao Steles, sooner or later, will reappear at the convergence of storms in the Cultivation Realm.

With this thought,

Chen Ye temporarily stored away the seed and took out the two pieces of Tier Two Top Grade Spiritual Materials he obtained from the Spiritual Treasure Vault, as well as the two pieces of Tier Three Lower Grade Spiritual Materials offered by Huayue Mansion as ransom, namely Celestial Meteor Sand and Taiyi Geng Gold.

"Originally, I intended to use these two pieces of Tier Three Spiritual Materials as the foundation to forge a Spiritual Artifact... but now that I have a residual seed, there’s no rush to forge a Spirit Sword."

"Just as well, Qingzhi is severely damaged and has been repeatedly refined for half a year; it’s time to reforge it to prevent encountering a strong enemy in Xinzheng County."

Chen Ye set his mind.

Since the Soluo Magic Pavilion is a place for true men to cultivate, there is naturally no lack of places for refinement.

He immediately took out Qingzhi, combined it with the four types of spiritual materials, and began refining it again!

The goal is aimed directly at Tier Three!

[Hundred Refining Technique: 310/1600]

Currently,

Chen Ye’s Hundred Refining Technique has long surpassed the limit of Eighty-one Refinements, reaching ninety-nine refinements; his refining technique is almost perfect, able to fully harness the potential of Spiritual Materials below Tier Three, and even draw out ninety percent of the potential from Tier Three Lower Grade materials.

In the Ten Thousand Puppet Sect, this equals the eleventh level!

One must know, this cultivation technique has only nine levels in actuality!

"The refining of materials is nearly perfect... to further improve the level of puppets, it can only start from other aspects, such as the core, or the artifact patterns..."

...

Time flows like water, and in the blink of an eye, seven days passed.

During these seven days, the Cloud Summit Immortal Palace is bustling, even the Lingyin Sect sent a true disciple to participate in this Herb Collection Ceremony.

Of course, they did not come to participate in the so-called marriage proposal.

The Medicine King Valley organizing a son-in-law selection for Miss Su is one matter, while the Herb Collection Ceremony is another.

The Herb Collection Ceremony is a tradition in Yan Nan, prepared by the Medicine King Valley and the Yannan Hundred Families.

Called herb collection, it is actually demon hunting.

Cultivators must enter the Great Marsh County, venture deep into the Wilderness Marsh, slay the great demons residing there, and pick rare spiritual herbs from deep within the marsh.

Its grand scale is second only to the Luoxiao Grotto Heaven event within the Yan Kingdom.

Those who perform outstandingly will receive various benefits.

It is for this reason that the Lingyin Sect sent a true disciple thousands of miles to attend.

As it’s a grand opportunity to hone one’s sword edge, gather Treasures of Heaven and Earth, and is relatively safe, it is undoubtedly an excellent training ground.

Yet, all this hustle and bustle have nothing to do with the people inside the Soluo Magic Pavilion.

During these seven days, Chen Ye never stepped out from behind closed doors, focusing all his mind on reshaping and refining Qingzhi.

And this Soluo Magic Pavilion truly lives up to being a place for true men to cultivate.

The True Master of Medicine King Valley invested heavily here to build a fire chamber for alchemy; even the materials for catalyzing Spiritual Fire are taken from celestial tree branches.

Combined with the Three Paths Cauldron, refining Qingzhi is like a fish in water.

"Boom!"

The Spiritual Fire surged violently.

If the fire chamber weren’t made of spiritual materials, this Suoluo Tree might have been ignited by these flames.

"Whew—"

Chen Ye let out a deep breath, gazing at the newly rejuvenated Qingzhi, a slight smile on his lips.
