Taoist Master Leaves the Mountains: All My Senior Sisters Love Me-Chapter 1537 - 1536: Tian Shu Furnace for Artifact Refining
Wang Ye fixed his gaze and discovered ahead was not a sect, but rather a plaque of a sect, seemingly someone had secluded themselves here with an obsession to revive the sect.
He then looked down at the skeletal remains and found that none of these fell from above survived.
Even if they miraculously survived, they had no chance to leave.
Only those who could avoid exhausting their strength, like Wang Ye, finally emerged from the bones and reached a very special underground cave.
This cave was small, only about the space of five carriages.
In the cave, there was only one physically disabled elder. In front of him was a refinement furnace that had been used for an unknown amount of time.
The elder had already lost his breath, his body had become skin and bones.
Wang Ye released his divine sense to investigate, finding he was the only living person here.
The elder had reached the end of his life and completely perished.
He left behind ten books on artifact refining and a compilation of refinement insights, with a will hoping the one who found this Tian Shu Furnace would inherit his legacy.
Wang Ye looked around, understood the situation, and began to arrange the elder’s body with respect.
This was his way of expressing respect to the elder in front of him.
Because this person belonged to the Human Race.
After half an hour of organizing, Wang Ye had thoroughly explored the underground cave, leaving nothing overlooked.
He thought he could find a way out there, but didn’t discover anything.
Despite feeling somewhat disappointed, he didn’t give up.
Time passed without him realizing, and Wang Ye still couldn’t find a way out.
He finally sat down and began examining the refinement books in front of him.
There was no spiritual power here, nor a sparring partner he could find.
In this seemingly endless time, Wang Ye tried to learn the methods of artifact refining.
"Elder, since you could leave these things behind, even in such a grievously injured state, your dedication to refining is truly admirable."
Wang Ye finished speaking and bowed to the elder.
Then, he began to examine all the refinement books left by the elder.
There was much he couldn’t understand, so he set them aside.
As for the books he could read, he definitely wouldn’t abandon them.
In order to predict the time to leave the Ancient Secret Realm, Wang Ye recalled when Lin Celestial Honor instructed him upon entering, if he encountered an unsolvable situation, he should ensure not to endanger himself.
Once the secret realm’s opening time ended, a powerful force would transport everyone out of the Ancient Battlefield Secret Realm.
Wang Ye thought this advice was sensible.
However, he found this elder and the surrounding bones seemed to have been here for many years.
He believed, if the Ancient Battlefield Secret Realm ended, only in that abyss could the sensation be felt.
Hence, he returned to the abyss and placed some talismans within. If any suction appeared, he would sense it as the opportunity to leave the Ancient Secret Realm.
At this moment, the Spirit Herb Doll poked its head out from Wang Ye’s clothes.
Having seen Wang Ye’s overwhelming power, it had hidden in his clothes.
Now emerging, thinking there was no longer any danger to fear.
Yet it found itself in an immeasurable abyss.
"Where are we?"
"The abyss of death!"
Wang Ye glanced at the heap of bones as tall as a hill and casually replied.
Indeed, this place was a chilling abyss of death.
Among all who fell, only the former elder and Wang Ye remained alive.
The Spirit Herb Doll saw Wang Ye start studying refinement books and wandered aimlessly.
However, it couldn’t see everything clearly, so it used its leaves to emit a fragrance of spiritual medicine that spreads in the darkness.
If the fragrance encountered a living presence, it would be absorbed by it.
If there was no encounter, it indicated the place was quite safe.
As it wandered carelessly, it unexpectedly found something odd in the abyss.
Upon careful examination, it discovered a frozen, lifeless giant dragon.
The Spirit Herb Doll was startled, and upon touching the frozen dragon, it felt as though its spiritual power was being devoured.
It screamed and hurriedly ran to Wang Ye.
After explaining, Wang Ye saw the terrifying ice dragon.
This ice dragon seemed completely perished within the ice, trying to take the dragon bones wasn’t an easy task.
Wang Ye wasn’t interested in this creature.
However, when he touched the icy dragon bones, his eyes bore a profound expression.
"These dragon bones seem sealed. If captured, they could become a formidable demon pet."
Wang Ye said, probing by biting his right index finger to dribble a drop of blood.
An hour passed without any reaction.
If it were outside, anyone seeing this scene would understand the reason.
Resisting the blood drop meant unable to use this method to awaken a demon beast or turn it into a demon pet.
Since it couldn’t be done, Wang Ye ceased trying.
He returned to the cave and continued to study the refinement books.
At this time, some refinement materials had already been taken out by Wang Ye and placed into the furnace.
Refining requires patience, somewhat similar to the mindset required in Alchemy.
However, refining demands more striking and forging skills, and controlling the heat, making it clear that mastering the furnace wasn’t easy.
Through repeated pondering, Wang Ye finally was able to grasp all of it.
However, his refining speed was slow.
To speed up the refining process, he even used the Chaos Black Flame.
The heat from the Black Flame Furnace nearly instantly made the Tian Shu Furnace extremely useful.
After an hour of effort, he crafted his first artifact.
This artifact looked like a Jade Pendant, but it could nourish the mind.
The first one was pretty decent but was for use only by those just entering the cultivation stage.
After flipping through more refinement insights and many forging books, Wang Ye became interested in refining for the first time.
Believing he needed an exceptionally handy artifact, he decided not to abandon his refinement skills.
The Spirit Herb Doll watched him achieve a state of forgetfulness, constantly learning and forging material, significantly enhancing his refining skills.
Bored, it helped Wang Ye by putting various materials into the Tian Shu Furnace, finding that working busily with someone else was indeed delightful.
"Hey, will you refine me when you leave here someday?"
The Spirit Herb Doll suddenly remembered something and raised his head, hoping Wang Ye would quickly answer.
