Protect Our Chief-Chapter 532 - 30: Storms Arise! Wealth Stirs the Heart

...

The world is vast.

However, no matter how vast the world is, it doesn’t have much to do with the Changning Wang Family, as they are still just a Seventh-Grade Noble Family.

An opportunity like this is a heaven-sent chance for the Wang Family, with the opportunity to fill the gap in artifact refining.

Beside the "Molten Pool", within an already opened secret room, there is a pile of scrapped artifact-refining parts, with an Artifact Refining Spirit Platform positioned in the center.

The Artifact Refining Spirit Platform is an essential tool for an Artifact Refiner, similar to an Alchemist’s Tripod Cauldron. It can channel Earth Fire into the Spirit Platform through the Earth’s veins, making the smelting of materials and the shaping of Spiritual Artifacts and Magical Treasures very convenient.

Next to the Artifact Refining Spirit Platform stands a tall and valiant Metal Puppet, over three meters high. It has an overall dark red hue, seemingly having undergone numerous battles, with its body showing many signs of damage.

Behind the Artifact Refining Spirit Platform is the Cultivation Platform of Tian Yezi. Its key parts are made from heat-resistant crimson metal, allowing it to absorb Fire Spiritual Qi from the fire spirit vein below and cultivate the fire-element Profound Martial Technique.

Additionally, the materials left by Tian Yezi include "Tian Yez’s Refining Insights," "Tian Yezi’s Guide to Artifact Refining from Scratch," "Nameless Miscellaneous Records (Tianyezi’s Legacy)," "Heaven Refining Technique" (including Qi Refining Chapter, Spirit Platform Chapter, Celestial Human Chapter), "Celestial Fire True Technique (Purple Mansion Chapter)," and "Ten Thousand Treasures Complete Book" (containing three Chapters on thirty-five Spiritual Artifacts, five Magical Treasures, three types of Puppets, two special Spirit Treasures, one Divine Technique Treasure, and the artifact refining formulas and comprehensive experiences for foundation cultivation platforms with metal, fire, and water attributes).

It is worth mentioning that the "Ten Thousand Treasures Complete Book" is a classic artifact creation book collected by the Celestial Fire Sect. Every item was handpicked before being archived, and compared to similar creations, it definitely has strong advantages and unique features in certain aspects.

Additionally, Tian Yezi left behind a "Celestial Craft Box."

This is a space treasure similar to a Storage Ring, but its storage space is vastly larger than ordinary storage rings, big enough to hold all the objects in this room with plenty of space to spare.

The only problem is, once a Celestial Craft Box is forged, it becomes very difficult to move.

It’s not to say it can’t be moved at all, but it is extremely challenging. Moving the Celestial Craft Box casually could cause turbulence in its internal space, leading to minor instances where items scatter everywhere, to major instances where important stored items are destroyed.

Additionally, it cannot be placed inside a Storage Ring for transport, as this would cause space collapse, resulting in shockwaves in the storage space, potentially destroying the Storage Ring entirely.

In short, it’s like an excellent-performance large personal multifunctional storage cabinet—very useful when stationary, but extremely inconvenient to take along on the run.

Thus, most folded spaces within a Celestial Craft Box, once unfolded, are typically left alone.

Furthermore, Tian Yezi also left an Upper Grade Storage Ring, on which Tian Yezi’s power of divine sense had eroded over time, leaving it empty except for containing the technique Chapters.

Together, these form the entire legacy left by Tian Yezi.

Among them, although the "Heaven Refining Technique" is only a middle-grade fire-element cultivation technique, it is the prerequisite for inheriting all of Tian Yezi’s legacy.

After all, Tian Yezi’s lifelong artifact refining insights were born from the "Heaven Refining Technique," and later, in an attempt to forcibly breakthrough to the Purple Mansion Realm, he acquired the "Celestial Fire True Technique (Purple Mansion Chapter)." The latter only contains the Purple Mansion Chapter, which cannot be cultivated alone.

Hence, the "Heaven Refining Technique" is placed within an Artifact Refining Box that has a slot to insert an ordinary Spirit Stone. Once activated, it can be used to test the compatibility between the Black Tortoise Cultivator and the "Heaven Refining Technique."

If it doesn’t match, naturally, one cannot inherit the "Heaven Refining Technique."

Wang Shouming, Wang Lili, Wang Zongyao, and Wang Luqing were the discoverers of the relic, so they were naturally given priority for compatibility testing.

Subsequently, the four of them underwent the test in succession.

As Ancestor Longyan predicted, despite Wang Shouming cultivating the "Red Dragon True Technique" and being a fire-element Black Tortoise Cultivator, his compatibility with the "Heaven Refining Technique" was very average, unable to open the Artifact Refining Box of the "Heaven Refining Technique."

This left Wang Shouming slightly disappointed.

Instead, Wang Shouyong came forward to comfort him, "Eighth Brother, the ’Red Dragon True Technique’ you cultivate is already an upper-grade technique and has remarkable potential in the future. As long as you cultivate diligently, there will definitely be a place for you to shine."

"Fifth Brother, I understand." Wang Shouming nodded. "Everyone in the family has their own role. It’s good to focus on combat and contribute to the family’s efforts in developing the Wilderness of the Outer Domain in the future."

Subsequently, Wang Lili, Wang Luqing, and Wang Zongyao also underwent the test.

However, the results were unexpected; none of the three succeeded in matching.

This left everyone remarkably astonished.

For just a middle-grade technique, can the threshold be so high?

However, after their initial astonishment, they thought it over and understood.

It probably wasn’t that the "Heaven Refining Technique" itself had a high threshold; rather, it was that Tian Yezi had intentionally set the threshold quite high. Following this, the younger generation of the Wang Family went through the test in turns, but all were filtered out.

After that, even Wang Shouyong tried, but he still couldn’t meet the inheritance conditions set by Tian Yezi.

So, next came the turn for the Household Generals to try.

One failure, two failures, three failures...

Days later, when everyone had nearly lost hope, an eleven-year-old Household General by the name of Wang Ping unexpectedly passed the test, opened Tian Yezi’s box, and obtained the "Heaven Refining Technique."
