"It only takes a few moments to refine the material."

"If you, fellow brothers, are not able to help, can we ask Senior Wei for help?"

"Besides, I have always heard of Master Wei and have always wanted to see him in person."

The woman in green spoke softly and had a graceful manner, which made the disciples of the Weapon Refining Hall present feel honored.

Chen Yun observed calmly. Although the woman appeared polite on the surface, the cunning look that flashed across her eyes did not escape his observation.

Chen Yun sneered inwardly but said nothing.

However, the three disciples were deceived by the woman's words, and one of them actually agreed to report to the old man surnamed Wei.

Chen Yun sighed inwardly. He clearly remembered that the old man surnamed Wei had clearly told him before he went into seclusion that he would not go into seclusion unless there was something extremely important.

Otherwise, he and his two assistants must not be disturbed from their refining work in the underground secret room.

Now, if someone makes a fuss just because of a trivial matter like refining materials, the person who reports it may face punishment.

Sure enough, the disciple entered the Earth Fire Hall with his head held high, and just a moment later, he ran out with a dejected look on his face.

"My Lady, Uncle Wei is really unable to get away at the moment, so why not let Junior Brother Chen give it a try?"

The male disciple said this with a forced smile in front of everyone.

"The Imperial Qing Temple's Weapon Refining Hall is famous. Can't you three refine materials for the princess?"

The person who asked the question was another young woman in the crowd besides Princess Luxiu. She was a little older and still pretty.

The beauty mole at the corner of her mouth added a bit of charm to her, and she asked with a smile.

"Miss Mingzhu, you don't know that if it is to refine ordinary materials, the three of us can naturally do it."

"But a rare material like blood silver can only be mastered by Junior Brother Chen who is proficient in the material refining method taught by Senior Brother Wei."

"The three of us mainly study the methods of refining commonly used magic tools."

The three of them looked at each other with slightly awkward expressions, and one of the disciples named Gao explained helplessly.

"I'm afraid this is a bit tricky. We came here with Madam Yu, so it's inconvenient for us to stay here for long."

"But if we miss this opportunity, I don't know when we can find a refiner who can refine blood silver."

"It seems that I need to trouble this senior brother to help me."

Princess Luxiu's eyes moved, and she opened her red lips and said to Chen Yun. Chen Yun responded calmly:

"If the princess is not afraid of risks, Chen will do his best."

"It's okay, brother, please do your best to refine it."

"If it really cannot be accomplished, it is not a big deal. It can only be said that Lu Xiu's opportunity has not come yet. We can find another way in the future."

The girl in palace dress smiled faintly.

Seeing the girl's statement, Chen Yun nodded. However, after glancing at everyone present, he frowned slightly and said:
"When I am refining materials, there should not be too many onlookers. Otherwise, they may be distracted, thus reducing the success rate."

"No problem, just allow me to be alone at the time."

"Others can wait outside first, or be led by these three brothers to visit other areas of the Equipment Refining Hall."

The girl in palace dress said nonchalantly upon hearing this.

Although those who followed the girl were reluctant, no one raised any objections.

Chen Yun said no more and immediately led the way, heading straight to the Earth Fire Palace.

At the girl's signal, the rest of the people had to stay where they were.

In the Equipment Refining Hall, the Earth Fire Hall is a vital building.

Although the area it occupies is relatively limited, being only about a hundred feet wide, its internal structure is divided into three layers: upper, middle, and lower.

The main function of the upper layer is to store raw materials, while the middle layer is responsible for introducing underground fire.

In order to refine materials and refine low-level spiritual weapons.

The lower level is already twenty to thirty feet deep underground, and is specifically used to draw pure earth fire from the earth fire pool to refine high-level spiritual weapons.

Chen Yun's daily refining work is carried out in a separate space on the middle level.

He led Princess Luxiu into the secret room. The room was a little messy, but Chen Yun still tidied it up by himself.

The girl was curious about everything in the secret room.

Especially the large cauldron in the middle and the gourd-shaped instruments around it, it seems to be the first place to witness this kind of refining work.

Chen Yun asked the woman whether she had ever refined a magical instrument. The woman explained that she had been practicing since she was young and had no time to learn how to refine instruments. She usually only practiced at home.

Chen Yun asked about the cultivation in her mansion, and the woman revealed that she had connections with the royal family.

He had been practicing in a cave in the mountains and had never been to any royal palace.

The woman's temperament suddenly changed, from a graceful young lady to a quirky young girl.

Chen Yun was puzzled by the woman's sudden change, and she explained that her title of princess was real.

But he acted restrained in order to maintain the face of the royal family. Now he feels at ease in front of Chen Yun.

The woman asked Chen Yun not to reveal her identity to anyone, and Chen Yun agreed to comply.

The woman further revealed that her grandfather was one of the four great independent cultivators of Dajin, and he was proud of it.

Chen Yun was shocked by the woman's identity and believed that she had a bright future.

Chen Yun learned about the four independent cultivators who possessed profound skills.

Among them there are both late Nascent Soul cultivators and middle Nascent Soul cultivators, but almost all of them have extraordinary magical powers that cannot be compared with ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators.

The girl accepted Chen Yun's compliment and thought it was okay for people to recognize her grandfather.

Chen Yun felt a headache, so he ignored the girl and started to activate the giant tripod. The girl looked at him curiously.

After the giant tripod was activated, Chen Yun asked the girl to hand over the materials.

The girl warned Chen Yun that he would have to pay compensation if the materials were damaged, and threw out a piece of silver ore mixed with blood.

Chen Yun discovered that this material was very rare, and it was even harder to come by for cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage.

Chen Yun didn't say much. He put the materials into the cauldron and started refining.

Meanwhile, in a loft at the top of a mountain, two women were discussing an important plan.

The old Taoist nun said that the royal family had been planning this plan for more than 400 years, and failure would bring disaster.

The beautiful woman thought that this was an opportunity for the royal family to break free from the control of other forces and it was worth taking the risk.

"Humph! There have long been rumors in the world of immortal cultivation that the Tongtian Lingbao is extremely powerful and unbelievable."

"However, it is hard to believe that you can reverse the situation and become equal to several major forces with only two treasures."

"I am afraid that this move will backfire and arouse the covetousness of other forces, leading to the disaster of possessing a treasure and committing a crime."

“Don’t forget that even if you have the Tongtian Lingbao, there are still powerful forces behind them.”

“Although I don’t know their exact number, as long as one of them shows up, it will be enough to destroy my Ye family.”

There was a flash of coldness in the Taoist nun's eyes, and she spoke with a look of great fear.

"A strong person in the Spiritual Transformation Stage is invincible in our world."

"Even if Third Uncle and his men hold the magical treasures, they can barely protect themselves against this old monster. However, Aunt, don't worry too much."

"My Ye family has been secretly investigating the existence and weaknesses of these old monsters a hundred years ago."

"After many aspects of analysis, we speculate that even if the lifespan of these old monsters is really as expected." "More than a thousand years longer than that of Yuanying stage cultivators, in the past two thousand years of Dajin, there are only a few cultivators who have advanced to the Shenhua stage or have the potential to advance to the Shenhua stage."

"Among them, a small number successfully ascended to the spiritual world."

"There are no more than two or three people left in the human world."

"Moreover, these people have paid a huge price for staying in the human world."

"Not only will they not fight with others easily, even if they do, they will try their best to suppress their cultivation to the level of the late Nascent Soul stage."

“Although I don’t know the reason, it seems that these old monsters are not as invincible as the rumors say.”

"Besides, most of these old monsters will not take action for the rise and fall of a certain force."

The beautiful middle-aged woman frowned and said solemnly.

"How did you know these things? Don't tell me, these are all your speculations or what you heard on your own."

"Over the years, countless cultivators have tried to find out the secrets and information about the Divine Transformation cultivators who stayed in the human world, but all have returned empty-handed."

"You have been able to conduct such a thorough investigation in just over a hundred years, and you are still so confident."

"Do you think I'm old and confused? What else are you hiding?"

Instead of looking happy, the old nun's face suddenly turned gloomy.

"We have absolutely no intention of deceiving Aunt. Although this information was not found out by anyone from our Ye family, it was said by an elder who was newly recruited into the family a few years ago."

"After our calculations, we found that it is completely consistent with other clues. Therefore, it is not wrong to say that it was my Ye family who found it."

Seeing her aunt was angry, the beautiful woman quickly began to explain.

"Elder? When did the Ye family get another elder? Is he a casual cultivator, or a cultivator from a small sect? There shouldn't be any problems, right?"

The Taoist nun was suddenly startled and asked repeatedly.

"Don't worry, aunt. This person is not a cultivator from our Dajin Sect, but a casual cultivator from Tianlan Grassland."

"He has quite impressive magical powers. We have already sent people to investigate his background, and there is absolutely no problem with his origins."

"There is indeed such a cultivator in Tianlan Grassland. He had to flee to avoid disaster because he offended Tianlan Holy Temple. Moreover, the core matters of the family have never been revealed to this person."

The beautiful woman said with confidence.

"Oh, that's more like it."

"Although I don't agree with your subsequent plan, since the other elders agree."

"And now that the implementation has begun, these two magical treasures must be obtained."

"We can only take things one step at a time. You still need to be more careful in the future."

"Those major forces have many eyes and ears. If we make the slightest move, it may attract their attention. We must not let the news leak out."

The old Taoist nun gave another reminder.

"Aunt, I'm afraid we have aroused the suspicion of some people."

"A few days ago, the number of garrison monks sent to the capital by those major forces increased dramatically."

The beautiful woman smiled bitterly and said helplessly.

"The number of Nascent Soul cultivators has also increased?"

The Taoist nun's heart sank and her face changed slightly as she asked.

"Not really. Most of the newcomers are at the Jindan stage. The Yuanying level ones are still the same as before, and those few are still stationed in the capital."

The beautiful woman shook her head.

"That's good! It seems they just have some suspicions but haven't really noticed anything yet."

"Since the Three Emperors Temple released the news that it was going to refine a precious treasure, it has attracted a lot of attention. Otherwise, the pressure on your side would definitely be even greater."

The old nun's expression softened.

"My aunt is right. However, although the Three Emperors Temple is just a bait, if we can successfully refine the replica of the spiritual treasure, it will greatly increase our strength."

"If possible, try your best to refine this treasure."

After thinking for a moment, the beautiful woman said this again.

“I know this.

The imitation of a treasure like the Pingshan Seal, which can split mountains and crack the earth, is definitely not ordinary. "

"If we can refine it, it will be almost like adding a late Nascent Soul cultivator out of thin air. I will do my best."

"Your second uncle and his men said they wanted to win over some masters among the independent cultivators. How is the progress? Tell me about it..."

The old nun changed the subject and asked about another matter with concern.

"The matter of winning over independent cultivators has been started a long time ago."

"Two of the four independent cultivators have agreed to become the royal family's tribute. The whereabouts of the other two are erratic and we have no way of tracking their whereabouts, so there is naturally no question of winning them over."

"However, the Ghost King of Xibing Mountain and the Deputy Valley Master of Wan Yao Valley, Master Xiong, are happy that my royal family can be independent."

"No longer controlled by a few major forces, they promised to lend us a helping hand when the time comes."

"Other small sects that have shown goodwill to us include..."

Afterwards, the old nun of Huangqing Temple and the beautiful middle-aged woman had a more detailed conversation in the attic, and time passed quietly without them noticing...

In the attic of Huangqing Temple, the old Taoist nun and the beautiful middle-aged woman were still having a detailed conversation.

At the same time, in the Earth Fire Palace, Princess Luxiu opened her eyes wide.

He looked with joy at the egg-sized piece of silver metal in his hand, which was shrouded in silver and blood light - blood-silver.

"Brother Chen, I never thought you could refine this piece of blood silver, and the content is so high."

"It seems that Elder Wei is really amazing. Even his disciples have such exquisite weapon refining skills."

"I have been to several weapon refineries in the market before, but none of the weapon refiners there are sure they can refine it."

The girl in palace dress said to Chen Yun with a smile while playing with the materials in her hands.

"Master Wei's refining skills are naturally incomparable to those of ordinary market refiners."

"Besides, I am not Master Wei's disciple. I am just helping out in the Equipment Refining Hall temporarily. When the time comes, I will concentrate on my cultivation. I am just learning this refining technique as the situation dictates."

Chen Yun smiled slightly and responded calmly.

"Is that so? That's a pity. You can refine blood silver, so you must be very talented in refining equipment."

When the girl heard what Chen Yun said, she looked regretful.

"Since I have helped the princess refine the blood-thread silver, I still have important matters to deal with, so I will not accompany the princess any longer."

As Chen Yun spoke, he began to pack up his magic tools and prepared to leave.

"Don't be impatient. Is it because I am so ugly that you are in such a hurry to leave, brother?"

"Besides, who said that this princess only refines this one thing?"

"I still have one more material that needs to be processed. I didn't know how good your refining skills were before, so I didn't dare to take it out rashly. Now, of course, I have full confidence in you."

After receiving the blood-stained silver, the girl said with a smile, then took out a jade box about a foot long from the storage bag on her waist and threw it directly to Chen Yun.

Chen Yun suddenly felt a headache and said with a bitter face: "Are there any more materials to be refined?"

"My Lord, you think too highly of me. With my cultivation level, I am already exhausted after refining the blood-thread silver. I really have no strength to refine other materials." (End of this chapter)
