Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard” - Chapter 602: Su Yuan Takes Action, Revealing His Skill
“Let us drink together!”
Master Chongxiao raised his wine cup.
Everyone else also picked up their cups one by one.
Together, they all drank the fine wine.
When Su Yuan drank the wine, a vast surge of Chaos Origin energy erupted, but it was still easily absorbed and refined by him. More importantly, this wine actually contained a massive amount of artifact refining experience and insights into Chaos True Intent!
For a moment, Su Yuan immersed himself in it, activating [Balancing Work and Rest] to continuously absorb the vast amount of insights hidden within the wine.
After digesting the insights from this fine wine, Su Yuan felt that his artifact refining skills had indeed improved by a notch. He had fully mastered, ten out of ten, Master Chongxiao’s refining methods, and had even innovated upon them, developing his own unique understanding.
As for the Chaos True Intent, there were indeed some insights within, but many of them were repetitive for Su Yuan. He absorbed some insights, but not many.
When he opened his eyes, however, he did not find that the other drinkers had obtained corresponding insights. They had only absorbed the Chaos Origin energy from the Divine Source Wine.
“Huh, it seems only I can gain additional harvests. Could it be because of the [Dominator of Artifacts] trait and the [Dominator of Will] trait?”
Su Yuan formed a guess about this.
Others merely treated the Divine Source Wine as a cultivation potion, while he treated it as a treasure for enlightenment. The difference in their gains was like night and day.
Master Youhe awoke from his reverie and praised, “Excellent wine!”
This praise was both for the exquisite flavor of the wine and also in admiration of Master Chongxiao’s refining skill!
Chongxiao smiled faintly, calmly enjoying everyone’s flattery. This refining session had indeed gone remarkably smoothly, with an unusually good performance.
Half of the wine liquid remained within the Divine Source Well.
Master Youhe collected it into a wine pot prepared by the tavern and handed it to Master Chongxiao.
Master Chongxiao expressed his thanks and very happily accepted the wine pot. This was one of the benefits for the one who performed the demonstration.
Another benefit was spreading one’s fame.
“Excellent. Master Chongxiao has set a fine precedent. Who else wishes to take the stage and refine?”
Master Youhe’s gaze swept over the various Cloud Beds, lingering on the Green Forest Recluse.
But before Master Youhe could utter the words inviting the Green Forest Recluse to step forward, a voice rang out within the hall.
“This humble Daoist is willing to give it a try!”
Master Youhe paused slightly, his gaze locking onto Su Yuan.
The others also looked at Su Yuan in surprise.
The Green Forest Recluse frowned. Could it be that this Seven Stars had discovered him, the mastermind behind the scenes?
Su Yuan stood up with a cheerful smile, cupping his hands in salute to all directions. “I am also deeply curious about the Divine Source Well. Having the fortune to witness it today, I wish to taste the Divine Source Wine I brew myself. May I ask all of you to grant me this opportunity!”
Master Youhe laughed heartily. “So it’s our new friend, Master Seven Stars. Originally, every newly arrived artificer must refine once before the Divine Source Well, allowing everyone to see the newcomer’s skill level. Since you wish to try first, the second round shall be yours to take the stage!”
Su Yuan cupped his hands towards the four directions. “Seven Stars will make a fool of himself!”
Su Yuan took a single step and arrived at the other side of the Divine Source Well.
Su Yuan sat cross-legged before the furnace, then suddenly looked up towards the direction of the Green Forest Recluse, giving him a slight smile.
The Green Forest Recluse was taken aback. He glanced left and right; Master Youhe was right beside him, but he faintly sensed that Su Yuan’s smile was directed at him.
Su Yuan’s [Mental Echo] had long since captured the thoughts of the Green Forest Recluse.
Previously, Su Yuan hadn’t paid attention and didn’t know who had thoughts about him. But when he entered the tavern, the mental activities of everyone could no longer escape his [Mental Echo]!
Thus, he instantly locked onto nine individuals among them, with the strongest one being precisely the Green Forest Recluse.
“You have thoughts about my method of batch-refining standard equipment. Since that’s the case, if I directly display supremely powerful artifact refining strength, how will you respond?”
Su Yuan muttered to himself internally, then raised a hand towards all directions.
Fourteen types of materials flew towards Su Yuan.
This action gave everyone a sense of déjà vu.
“Huh? How does this Master Seven Stars artificer intend to refine? Why does it look somewhat familiar?”
“I heard that at the entrance, he effortlessly repaired a damaged ten-tier Dominator Artifact. His strength is at least at the fourteen or fifteen-tier level. This newly ascended master’s strength is definitely not weak, already ranking in the middle tier within Black Flame City!”
“I think the newcomer’s strength is nothing special. Otherwise, why haven’t I heard of the name Seven Stars before?”
“Let’s watch and see.”
As Su Yuan began to smelt the fourteen materials, condensing them into a stable, new composite material, he started to inscribe a complete Chaos Dao Pattern onto it.
Master Chongxiao had originally been watching with a full smile, but seeing this familiar technique, the smile on his face gradually faded, replaced by a serious expression.
The other artifact refining masters also grew solemn. The previously chatting crowd quieted down, watching Su Yuan’s refining process attentively.
Under everyone’s gaze, Su Yuan completely and perfectly refined the first Chaos Secret Pattern, and its intensity reached the fourteen-tier level!
The first Chaos Secret Pattern had reached fourteen-tier!
If he were to solidify the form now, it would already be a fine Chaos Dominator Artifact, and it had only taken just over ninety thousand years in total.
Su Yuan remained calm and composed. With another wave of his hand, thirteen more materials fell into the furnace to be smelted.
This scene confirmed the guesses of many, especially Master Chongxiao, who stared intently at every detail of Su Yuan’s refinement.
Under Su Yuan’s control, the second batch of smelted material perfectly encased the core layer of the first batch.
The two fused together in a near-perfect manner, causing Master Chongxiao’s eyes to gleam with brilliance.
And Su Yuan inscribed a second complete Chaos Secret Pattern, causing the power of the Chaos Dominator Artifact embryo to rise to the fifteen-tier!
Many people gradually began to show expressions of shock.
“Could it be…”
“It can’t be!”
“If this succeeds, then…”
Many swallowed their saliva, an emotion of disbelief rising in their hearts.
Yet, Su Yuan truly, before everyone’s eyes, smelted layer after layer of Chaos Secret Patterns!
When the final, fourteenth Secret Pattern enveloped the entire Chaos Dominator Artifact, causing the fourteen-layer structure to be mutually interlinked, forming a fourteen-dimensional structure with its own internal Chaos, this Chaos Dominator Artifact was also shaped into the form of a long spear.
“Fourteen-Layer Soul-Severing Spear!”
Su Yuan softly uttered the name, breaking the silence in the hall.
