Chapter 869 -869: Closed-Door Treasure Refinement (Part 1)
After reaching an agreement, Wang Chen signed a Taoist Contract with True Person Jingyun.
For high-rank practitioners, the binding power of a Taoist Contract was even stronger because it involved cause and effect.
Unless one’s path had already ended, no high-rank practitioner would easily violate a Taoist Contract they had signed.
However, True Person Jingyun did not immediately hand over the South Bright Like Fire to Wang Chen, but made an appointment for ten days later, first providing Wang Chen with the materials needed for refining thirty high-grade Spiritual Artifacts, and after Wang Chen had finished refining these artifacts, they would then conduct the trade.
Wang Chen had no objections to this, after all, the value of the South Bright Like Fire was too high, and True Person Jingyun was also concerned he might take the fire and flee.
In fact, ever since True Person Jingyun had obtained the seed of South Bright Like Fire, she had always kept it hidden, let alone entrusted it to a Great Refiner to make Magical Treasures.
Because those Great Refiners all had deep and powerful backgrounds, stealing her South Bright Like Fire would be effortless for them.
This time, True Person Jingyun took a risk with the South Bright Like Fire, precisely because Wang Chen was a Loose Cultivator.
That seedling of South Bright Like Fire had been a constant worry to her!
The Golden Core Kun Cultivator glanced at the Taoist Contract and smiled, “So your surname is Wang and given name is Chen.”
It was only now that she learned Wang Chen’s real name.
Wang Chen smiled.
The Taoist Contract True Person Jingyun produced was of very high tier, and if he had used a fake name, he would have been immediately exposed.
That would be tantamount to deceiving others and making enemies!
Although revealing his real name was not a big deal, he still added, “Please keep this confidential for me.”
“Of course!”
True Person Jingyun agreed without hesitation, “Only heaven, earth, you, and I shall know of this matter; it shall not reach a third party’s ears!”
Wang Chen wished to keep things secret, and she was even less willing to reveal this Taoist Contract!
The relationship between the two also became much closer due to this contract.
In this tall pavilion, True Person Jingyun treated Wang Chen with great hospitality and even gave him a bundle of Wanli Talismans for convenient contact.
Ten days later, Wang Chen returned to Lingyou City and obtained the materials for the Spiritual Artifacts from the Golden Core Kun Cultivator.
Two months later, he delivered thirty customized Spiritual Artifacts to True Person Jingyun.
True Person Jingyun was very satisfied, and according to the agreement, she gave Wang Chen a seedling of South Bright Like Fire, as well as five sets of Magical Treasure materials.
She commissioned Wang Chen to customize three Magical Treasures that were personalized to her particular needs!
“I want it, give it to me now!”
On Wang Chen’s journey back to the Nameless Valley, the Ding leapt straight out from the Creation Cauldron and hopped around on his shoulder, unable to wait.
Wang Chen had no intention of indulging the little thing, “We’ll talk when we get back.”
The Ding could only sulkily shrink back into the Treasured Cauldron.
Returning to the Underwater Cave Abode, Wang Chen did not disturb Su Ziling who was cultivating in her quiet room and went to the Refinement Room to bring out the Creation Cauldron.
The Refinement Room used to be a storage room, which he had reorganized and arranged for the purpose of artifact refining.
Since he could not draw out Earth Fire, the Spiritual Artifacts he refined earlier were all sustained by his own strong Pill Force.
That consumption was quite significant, causing no progress in his cultivation during that period.
Now, at last, with South Bright Like Fire to bolster him, Wang Chen no longer needed to exhaust his own Golden Core.
“Let me do it!”
As soon as Wang Chen took out the crystal ball that Sealed the South Bright Like Fire, the Ding jumped out again, pouncing directly on top of the crystal ball, drooling as if it wanted to swallow it whole.
“Don’t misuse it.”
Wang Chen warned, “Once it’s used up, that’s it.”
This guy is just like a mischievous child—if you don’t put a golden hoop on him and recite spells all the time, he will definitely climb up onto the roof and remove the tiles!
“Don’t worry!”
The little Ding then said proudly, “I know the art of nurturing flame, and I can guarantee the eternal preservation of the fire seed. If my lord can gather the other nine ancient Source Fires, I can even refine the supreme Taoist Fire for you!”
Easier said than done!
Wang Chen’s mouth twitched, and he waved his hand, not bothering to entertain the other’s boast.
How rare are the ancient ten fires, some of which have already become legends. To gather them all, how much luck and skill would that require?
Wang Chen didn’t think he could do it.
However, the little Ding said it knew the art of nurturing flame and could ensure the fire seed would never die out, which was great!
So Wang Chen didn’t stop the little guy’s actions.
With a cheer, the little Ding picked up the crystal ball and threw it towards the Creation Cauldron, blinking as it jumped into the big treasured cauldron.
Bang!
The lid fell, emitting a muffled roar.
Under Wang Chen’s gaze, the treasured cauldron began to tremble, the True Seal Talisman Script engraved on its surface lighting up one by one. Its entire body turned red, as if it were about to be refined.
“My lord, assist me!”
The little Ding’s voice rang out in Wang Chen’s Sea of Consciousness.
Wang Chen’s gaze flashed, and he silently and breathlessly slapped the body of the cauldron, continuously infusing it with True Yuan.
This South Bright Like Fire couldn’t just be placed in the treasured cauldron and used. Like a freshly refined magical treasure, it needed to be consecrated and nurtured to perfectly merge with the Creation Cauldron.
Only then could it be used to refine spiritual artifacts and magical treasures!
As the master of the cauldron, Wang Chen naturally had to exert himself.
As a result, it took him three days and three nights of constant effort, exhausting his True Yuan, and even using the power of his Golden Core, before he completely tamed a sprout of South Bright Like Fire, making it the fire within the cauldron.
The pressure and torment Wang Chen endured during that time was unimaginable to the average person!
After refining the South Bright Like Fire, Wang Chen took five days to rest and recover until his state returned to its peak, and only then did he begin to set about refining magical treasures.
Most of the knowledge Wang Chen acquired about artifact refining came from “Nine Directions Refinement.”
This artifact refining classic is said to be the authentic Dharma Technique of the first artifact refining sect of the Haotian Realm, the Nine Directions Sect, from ten thousand years ago.
“Nine Directions Refinement” covers the fundamental methods of refining magic artifacts, spiritual artifacts, and magical treasures of the third order, including theories, techniques, and over a thousand refining recipes for various types of armor, weapons, and auxiliary equipment.
After getting “Nine Directions Refinement,” Wang Chen had spent quite a bit of time researching and studying, which allowed his skills in artifact refining to advance by leaps and bounds.
Now, Wang Chen found refining spiritual artifacts to be a piece of cake, very simple and easy.
But magical treasures were a different story. The difficulty was not just one level higher; the materials were also rare and precious, which meant he didn’t have many opportunities to practice and improve.
“My lord, let the little Ding help you refine it!” the little Ding offered itself once again, volunteering eagerly, “Whatever magical treasure you desire to refine, little Ding guarantees to help you refine it well, without any issues!”
After refining the South Bright Like Fire, the little guy’s confidence had greatly increased, his tone full of self-assurance.
Wang Chen glanced at the little Ding, too lazy to even acknowledge it.
The skills one commands are what constitute true ability, but if everything is completed by the Cauldron Spirit, then what is he?
A puppet? A tool person?
Moreover, Wang Chen was very certain that the little guy had its own ulterior motives!
The more actively it volunteered, the less likely Wang Chen was to agree.
Unless he was truly powerless.
“Fire up the furnace!”
