Lin Chen had a piece of Spirit Crystal Stone on him, a type of material that could be used to craft high-grade magic treasures. Such high-end materials were usually only managed by senior artifact refiners, otherwise, it would be a waste.
However, Lin Chen didn’t know any artifact refiners, and he didn’t trust the people of Jade Cauldron Sect with his materials either, after all, who knew whether those sly fellows would embezzle them.
Therefore, Lin Chen decided to improve his own artifact refining skills.
Lin Chen knew that even with his current strength, refining the Spirit Crystal Stone would not be easy, but he was confident.
Alchemy, Spiritual Formation, and the Mystic Heaven Refining World – Lin Chen had dabbled in all these three supreme techniques, yet his artifact refining skill was the weakest among them.
During the day, Lin Chen had exchanged for a book of Artifice Mastery Secrets at the sect’s Spiritual Treasure Pavilion, authored by a former senior artifact refiner from the Jade Cauldron Sect. The complete lineage had been passed down, but nobody today could recreate that predecessor’s glory.
It took Lin Chen half a month to thoroughly familiarize himself with the Artifice Mastery Secrets. Coupled with the knowledge of refining observed from within the Ancient Myriad Transformation Cauldron, Lin Chen then took out various materials for artifact refining like jade, ores, crystal cores, and beast bones from the space within the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron.
This was Lin Chen’s first time refining artifacts, naturally, he wouldn’t start with the Spirit Crystal Stone, but with materials he had obtained from the Mire Dragon Marsh Secret Realm to practice his skills.
Another half month passed, and Lin Chen was completely immersed in his life of artifact refining. Having reached the Spirit Gathering Realm Seventh Layer, relying on his own spiritual power, it was no issue for him not to eat for most of the year.
Therefore, Lin Chen devoted himself entirely to artifact refining, forgetting even to eat and use the restroom.
After more than a month of seclusion, Lin Chen’s artifact refining skills had finally improved. From the initial difficulty of even purifying materials, to gradually becoming proficient, and now being able to successfully create low-level magical treasures, he could now craft Mid-Grade Spirit Level treasures.
Mid-Grade Spirit Level treasures were already quite impressive, and even the True Disciples of his sect would be envious. Lin Chen’s artifact refining skills had finally reached the level of a Third Grade Artifact Refiner.
During his seclusion of over a month, Lin Chen had crafted nearly thirty Yellow Grade treasures and four Profound Grade treasures, mostly consisting of swords and sabers, but also including large hammers and spears. The most unique among them were the Cloud-Stepping Boots and the Binding Demon Rope.
There were also a Flame Staff and Strength Gauntlets.
The Cloud-Stepping Boots were a Profound Middle Grade treasure. Once worn, they required just a bit of spiritual power to grant incredibly swift speed, even faster than some powerful movement techniques.
As for the Binding Demon Rope, as the name suggested, it could be unexpectedly effective during hunts or pursuing enemies, able to restrain the opponent. It was also a Profound Middle Grade treasure.
Although Lin Chen possessed powerful movement techniques, such life-preserving treasures naturally had to be worn by himself, a consideration he had made while refining to update his own equipment.
The Strength Gauntlets, inspired by Wang Yilin, were treasures Lin Chen refined to enhance his own strength. If used together with a Strength Talisman, they could instantly unleash an unimaginable force.
As for the Flame Staff, it was a long-range magic wand Lin Chen had crafted for himself, which could dramatically increase the power of some long-range spells while reducing his own consumption of spiritual power.
These four Spiritual Grade treasures were all custom-made by Lin Chen for himself. Now, although he couldn’t claim to be cladded in treasures from head to toe, compared to the other True Disciples, his wealth was far more abundant.
Lin Chen was only interested in high-end and valuable magic treasures; the low-level ones he simply didn’t care for. After all, as a Third Grade Artifact Refiner, what kind of magic treasure couldn’t he craft for himself?
So, he planned to take all those Yellow Grade treasures and exchange them at the sect’s Spiritual Treasure Pavilion for Sect Contribution Points or Spirit Stones. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ NoveIꜰire.net
To Lin Chen, these Yellow Grade treasures were no longer worth a second glance.
Lin Chen went to the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion, and in no time at all, he sold out all the Yellow Grade treasures.
After selling all the Yellow Grade treasures, Lin Chen was very pleased with himself, his mouth grinning so much it was almost cramping.
As he walked out of the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion, Lin Chen saw a group of people gathered in the distance.
"This is absolutely impossible, you were clearly single before your seclusion, and I know you just came out after a month, how could you possibly have taken a Dao companion now, I don’t believe it."
"Your Twelfth Peak, Uncle Master Yang only has three female disciples, where did this male disciple come from? If you really have one, call him out, I won’t stop until I’ve chopped him into a thousand pieces."
In the crowd, a disciple dressed in green looked frantically at the goddess in front of him, his heart in agony.
Xu San had been pursuing Zhao Yijing for a full twenty years, without so much as touching a strand of her hair, making him one of the most devoted suitors in the Jade Cauldron Sect, and also one of the people Zhao Yijing found most annoying.
Zhao Yijing really didn’t want to waste time here with Xu San; as soon as she appeared, he had been pestering her incessantly. Although annoying, the guy had strength to back him up; otherwise, Zhao Yijing would have dealt with him long ago.
Right at that moment, Lin Chen emerged from the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion, and Zhao Yijing’s face lit up with joy, ready to take action against Xu San.
