Chapter 514 - 675 : Ling’er has never refined artifacts

"Senior, my Ling'er has never refined artifacts with this kind of earthfire. May she first familiarize herself with it a little?" Wentian cupped his fists.

Firecloud Perfected One waved his hand. "I will give you three hours."

"One hour is enough."

Golden light flashed through Jianyi Deling's eyes. She formed seals with both hands, her finger techniques changing like butterflies moving through flowers. Threads of earthfire flew out from the bronze artifact cauldron and circled around her.

Gradually, they transformed into lotus flowers, orchids, and other shapes, then changed into animal forms.

A short while later,

Three fire lotuses floated before Jianyi Deling at the same time, slowly rotating.

This earthfire's power was extremely strong. Jianyi Deling used the mind-splitting method, and only by stacking two streams of divine sense could she control the earthfire as usual.

Firecloud Perfected One stroked his red beard, his pupils shrinking slightly as he thought inwardly, "This little girl has some skill. This kind of divine sense secret art is not ordinary.

"Yunxi Jianyi family?

"Does Yunxi Town have such a family?"

Afterward, Jianyi Deling tried using this earthfire to refine artifacts. What she refined were all low-grade magic artifacts.

But from her techniques, Firecloud Perfected One could tell that Jianyi Deling's artifact refining foundation was extremely solid, not inferior to his own disciples at all.

One hour later,

"It is done," Jianyi Deling said calmly.

"Then begin. Senior, what do you think?"

"Let this old man see what level this girl's artifact refining attainments have reached."

From the previous events, he could see that Jianyi Deling's artifact refining attainments were not weak, but as for exactly what level they had reached, it was very difficult to tell from only low-grade magic artifacts.

Fine-grade magic artifacts could already display her level to a certain extent.

Wentian silently stood at the side.

Jianyi Deling and Firecloud Perfected One each drew earthfire from the artifact cauldron to refine artifacts.

Compared to Jianyi Deling, Firecloud Perfected One's control over the earthfire had already reached consummate mastery and was as easy as moving his fingers. Even after sealing his cultivation, it was still not something a Foundation Establishment junior like Jianyi Deling could compare to.

For the offensive magic artifact, Jianyi Deling refined the Five Spirits Box.

It was a fine-grade magic artifact set recorded in the Five Elements Spirit Art, containing a Five Elements Sword Formation and possessing the might of a top-grade magic artifact.

"A fine-grade magic artifact set." Firecloud Perfected One smiled slightly. What he wanted to refine was naturally also this type of magic artifact.

However, compared to Jianyi Deling's full concentration, he only used forty to fifty percent of his attention on refining, while the rest was used to observe Jianyi Deling.

"Five-element materials. Could it be a complete five-element set? If this kind of set magic artifact contains a five-element formation, that would be extraordinary.

"However, it should not be a true five-element formation. Even the Small Five Elements Formation is a second-rank peak formation, and the others are even third rank or above.

"But even if it only contains the five-element intent, that is still very extraordinary.

"At the very least, it can truly rival a top-grade magic artifact."

Magic artifacts below top grade and top-grade magic artifacts were separated by a major dividing line.

Even fine-grade magic artifact sets rarely truly reached the might of top-grade magic artifacts.

As for the difference between top-grade magic artifacts and magic treasures later, it was even greater.

"As expected, it is the five-element intent. It is actually a sword box magic artifact, truly special."

The corners of Firecloud Perfected One's mouth lifted slightly.

Based on this one Five Spirits Box magic artifact alone, Jianyi Deling's attainments at the fine-grade magic artifact level had already surpassed all his disciples.

"This little girl has some skill."

At this moment, Firecloud Perfected One no longer had the furious mood he had at the beginning. His eyes carried a bit more appreciation, as if he were admiring uncut jade.

Seeing this, Wentian also looked like a fish had taken the bait.

People like Firecloud Perfected One cherished talent the most.

Just like Yun Zhongzi had toward him back then. Merely because of his Alchemy Dao talent, Yun Zhongzi had almost held nothing back toward him.

Before reaching the end of his lifespan, Yun Zhongzi had entrusted all of his lifelong alchemy experience, pill formulas, and so on to Wentian.

Wentian himself was also somewhat like this kind of person.

But he was not as pure as they were.

They pursued the peak of immortal arts, while he pursued the Jianyi family's inheritance lasting ten thousand years.

Toward talented people, he could extend an olive branch. But if they threatened the Jianyi family's continuation, he would not be soft-hearted in the slightest.

For the defensive magic artifact, Jianyi Deling refined a seal.

It originated from Wentian's idea.

A palm overturns heaven, lawless and heavenless!

Its name: Heaven-Overturning Seal!

It combined offense and defense, displaying its might through heavy pressure. Among fine-grade defensive magic artifacts, it was absolutely not weak either.

"Many earth-element materials are fused together, containing a heavy intent. It is far superior to ordinary shield-type defensive magic artifacts.

"It seems this girl's artifact refining attainments are even a step above all my disciples.

"Her life aura is young. She should be far from a hundred years old, yet she has cultivated to the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, even more outstanding than this old man was when young."

Firecloud Perfected One was a rogue cultivator, but his aptitude was not ordinary. His spiritual root purity was above six point five, considered top Earth Spiritual Root aptitude.

He studied Artifact Dao and earned cultivation resources.

When he reached Foundation Establishment completion, he was already over one hundred and sixty years old.

Later, he obtained an innate spiritual object by chance and successfully attacked Golden Core. Now, it had already been more than one hundred and fifty years since he became a Golden Core cultivator.
