Chapter 320: Chapter 282: Earning Divine Stones through Artifact Refining_2
There’s no need to rush; cultivating the White Tiger Seal and achieving enlightenment in the Pill Artifact Array is the current priority.
“I plan to go back and cultivate diligently, so this is where we part,” said Kong Lianqing.
Li Cheng clasped his fists toward Kong Lianqing, “I owe you much for these days, thank you!”
Kong Lianqing’s stunning face remained cold as she nodded slightly and strode away.
Li Cheng used the Demon Suppression Order to inform Yin Yue that he had returned, and then he walked toward the courtyard he had previously chosen.
This courtyard covered more than five hundred square meters, composed of three two-story buildings. Li Cheng surveyed it briefly, activated the Hidden Spirit Array Plate that enveloped the courtyard, and then entered the main house.
He had wanted to achieve enlightenment based on the foundational knowledge of the Pill Artifact Array he had seen before and truly elevate it to the stature of a Divine Master. Now, he finally had the time.
“Enlightenment!”
Starting with Artifact Refining, Li Cheng commenced his enlightenment. Although he could easily refine Divine Artifacts, the knowledge he saw in the Kongqian Library inspired him greatly, and using the state of enlightenment to delve deeper wasn’t a bad idea.
The next day, Li Cheng awakened from the state of enlightenment and reached out to touch the great blade, ready to refine it anew.
The materials used for this great blade far surpassed those he had used before, and if handled properly, it could certainly reach the level of a mid-grade Divine Artifact.
“Master, I have returned!” came a message from Yin Yue through the Demon Suppression Order.
Li Cheng opened the Formation, “Come in, how did it go with your gains?”
“There’s so much recorded in the library, I haven’t finished yet; Master, are you preparing to refine an artifact? May I learn?” Seeing Li Cheng holding the great blade, Yin Yue asked eagerly.
She had witnessed Li Cheng refining artifacts and greatly admired his miraculous techniques.
Li Cheng pondered, “I have comprehended nearly one hundred and thirty thousand laws of the Rule of Fire, and with the support of these laws, refining is naturally not difficult. You are different from me; perhaps you should learn about Formation instead!”
Yin Yue was a native cultivator from the Divine Realm, who didn’t need to comprehend laws to enter the Heaven God State. Currently, she hadn’t grasped any laws, so even if she stepped into the Heaven God State, the power of her Divine Fire wouldn’t be sufficient to support her easy refining of artifacts.
At that time, crafting a single Divine Artifact could easily require a hundred years.
A look of understanding dawned on Yin Yue, and she nodded, “That makes sense. Our Hidden Spirit Village had a formidable array master among our ancestors, but unfortunately, the inheritance was broken.”
“Master, then I’ll study Formation!” Yin Yue decided firmly.
Li Cheng smiled, “No need to decide so quickly. Whatever you choose to study, you must first love it, have firm confidence and belief, and possess persistent determination. Consider it for a few days!”
Regardless of what Yin Yue wanted to learn, Li Cheng would support her, but the matter indeed required careful consideration. Once a path was chosen, one naturally had to follow it.
And he himself would also take these days to achieve enlightenment in Formation and the Alchemy Dao, to pass on even better knowledge to Yin Yue.
Yin Yue nodded earnestly and began to ponder seriously.
Li Cheng also looked at the war saber in his hands, with Divine Fire surging and seals emerging, he commenced the re-refining.
Half an hour passed, and the war saber in Li Cheng’s hands had greatly transformed; over forty thousand Divine Patterns were densely spread over it, and it had already reached the quality of a mid-grade Divine Artifact.
For the next two days, Li Cheng returned to his room to meditate and deduce knowledge on Array Method and Alchemy Dao.
Today, Li Cheng awoke from his meditation, having fully integrated the knowledge of the Pill Artifact Array, and current Array knowledge would easily allow him to traverse through those mazes he encountered around Cloud Bright City.
What he now lacked were Arrays!
With only a Hidden Spirit Array in hand, that was certainly not enough.
He could exchange points for Array Diagrams in the Affairs Hall to learn other arrays, but without any points, Li Cheng had to earn Divine Stones to buy them from the commerce association.
Stepping out of the door, Yin Yue was already waiting outside, “Master, I’ve decided to study Array Methods. If my ancestor was a formidable array master, as a descendant, I want to reach and even surpass that level.”
Li Cheng did not know what sort of array master Yin Yue’s ancestor was and even felt her reasoning was a bit far-fetched, but it didn’t matter—as long as she wanted to learn.
However, to teach her Array Methods, simply passing his knowledge to her was insufficient; she would need arrays as a foundation for continuous practice and training.
Thus, earning Divine Stones to buy Array Diagrams was an absolute necessity.
With this thought, Li Cheng nodded. A point of light condensed between his eyebrows and drifted toward Yin Yue, “This is your master’s Comprehension of Array Method. Take your time to understand it, and remember not to be impatient for quick success.”
Yin Yue was overjoyed. She had not expected her master to transmit knowledge in this manner. With this, as long as she fully absorbed the knowledge, she could reach the same height as her master.
“Thank you, Master!” Yin Yue gave a serious bow of gratitude.
Li Cheng waved his hand, “Go on and contemplate it. I’m going out for a walk.”
In the courtyard of Li Cheng, he headed toward the Kongqian Commerce Association.
The Kongqian Commerce Association was the official commercial guild of the Divine Dynasty, and also the largest one within the Divine Dynasty’s territories. Most importantly, as a Demon-suppressing Envoy, one could enjoy a twenty percent discount here.
The guild was not far from the Demon-suppressing Department. One could see it upon stepping outside; it was a seven-story building that spanned dozens of miles. It was said that inside, there was more than meets the eye, with its actual size far exceeding its outward appearance.
“Welcome, Demon-suppressing Envoy. This way, please!”
Before he even reached the entrance, a woman dressed as a servant had already come up to greet him, her face carrying a smile, her demeanor respectful.
Li Cheng knew from his reading that the guild had private rooms specially designed for receiving Demon-suppressing Envoys. Whether purchasing or selling supplies, transactions could be conducted directly in the private rooms, and someone would come to liaise.
Indeed, led by the woman, he entered a private room about thirty square meters in size, where she asked, “What does the Demon-suppressing Envoy need?”
Li Cheng surveyed the private room, seeing another door within it that had spatial fluctuations, suggesting that inside was likely a small Secret Land.
“Is this the Demon-suppressing Envoy’s first visit to the guild? That is a secret chamber exclusively for Demon-suppressing Envoys to cultivate. It’s the size of ten thousand miles, with a concentration of Divine Qi twice as rich as that of the Inner City. Divine Stones can be used to enhance the concentration of Divine Qi,” the woman explained.
Li Cheng diverted his gaze, “I need a large quantity of tier one and tier two Refining Materials. Bring me the price list.”
The woman waved her hand, and an illumination appeared on one wall, displaying various Refining Materials and their prices.
“Does the Demon-suppressing Envoy intend to refine a particular Divine Artifact? The guild has professional Artifact Refiners. With your status, you can enjoy a twenty percent discount,” she said.
Li Cheng, continuously selecting materials, shook his head, “I will refine them myself. Can I get these materials on credit? Later, I will offset it with Divine Artifacts.”
The woman smiled awkwardly while maintaining politeness, “My lord, a one-star Demon-suppressing Envoy can only get an advance on materials worth up to one hundred thousand Divine Stones. The materials you are selecting total up to more than one hundred kinds, with varying quantities for each. The combined value has already exceeded one hundred thousand.”
Li Cheng nodded, taking out all the Divine Artifacts from his storage ring, “Help me sell these Divine Artifacts, then exchange them for these materials, all of them.”
There were a total of eighty-three Divine Artifacts, valued at at least eight hundred fifty thousand Divine Stones.
The woman showed a look of astonishment. From these Divine Artifacts, she could recognize the same refining technique, could they all have been refined by the Demon-suppressing Envoy before her?
“Please wait a moment, I will take these for appraisal. Afterward, I’ll exchange these materials at an eighty percent price for you,” she said.
The guild’s efficiency was very high, perhaps also because Li Cheng was a Demon-suppressing Envoy; the guild did not dare to neglect him. In just the time it took to brew a cup of tea, the woman returned with a storage ring.
Li Cheng inspected it and found that materials worth over one million were inside.
These materials did not include any precious special materials. The Divine Artifacts refined from them would not possess special abilities, but if all were successful, at least two thousand could be produced.
It was not that Li Cheng couldn’t refine Divine Artifacts with special abilities, but there was no necessity. After all, they were to be used to earn Divine Stones.
“How long can I stay inside?” Li Cheng asked, pointing at the door.
“One month for free, and beyond that, the rate is ten thousand Divine Stones per year. That is the rate for a one-star Demon-suppressing Envoy,” the woman answered, maintaining her smile out of professional habit.
Li Cheng nodded and stepped through the door.
The woman’s smile grew even wider, “With so many materials, he might not leave for hundreds of years, right?”
For hundreds of years, there would be a fee of several million, and naturally, her commission would be significant. How could she not be happy?
Naturally, Li Cheng would not stay for so long. Coming here to refine artifacts was merely for the convenience of trading.
Inside the door was a small world, just as the woman had described, ten thousand miles in size.
Li Cheng did not examine it closely, casually taking out all the materials. With his Divine Sense, he lifted them and began to refine.
Indeed, he refined all the materials at once!
