[Ding, you have collected thirty-six Holy Artifact Fragments, which can now be merged into one Holy Artifact. Would you like to proceed with the synthesis?]
The Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator issued a prompt, signaling the ability to finally craft a Holy Artifact.
Various Daluo Golden Immortals fought fiercely over the Holy Artifacts born from the Nine Nether, and Qingyue Fairy had even spent ninety thousand years to refine a single Holy Artifact, while Lu Changsheng, equipped with the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator, could synthesize one with relative ease.
[Ding, you have consumed thirty-six Holy Artifact Fragments to synthesize a low-grade Holy Artifact—Sky-Piercing Divine Fire Pillar.]
Inside Lu Changsheng, eight Divine Fire Pillars appeared, each over thirty meters tall and around three meters in diameter, arranged according to the Bagua positions. Each pillar bore carvings of fire dragons baring their teeth and dancing claws, emitting a blazing fire-colored divine light, stabilizing the miniature world.
Apart from the Earth Scripture, the Nameless Ancient Cauldron, and the Immortal Slaying Four Swords, the aura of all other divine tools seemed subdued by the eight Divine Fire Pillars.
These eight Divine Fire Pillars made up a complete set of treasures.
[Sky-Piercing Divine Fire Pillar: A low-grade Holy Artifact that can suppress and refine powerful enemies, each pillar is sealed with forty-nine Samadhi True Fire-formed fire dragons, totaling three hundred ninety-two fire dragons.]
Lu Changsheng was secretly astonished when he saw the treasure description displayed by the system.
Three hundred ninety-two fire dragons would give even a Daluo Golden Immortal a headache.
Not only that, but the Sky-Piercing Divine Fire Pillar could also seal spaces and suppress mighty foes.
Lu Changsheng rarely obtained treasures of this type.
Lu Changsheng proceeded to refine the eight Divine Fire Pillars one by one.
“This is somewhat strenuous.”
Lu Changsheng attempted to refine one of the Divine Fire Pillars but found the refining speed to be extremely slow.
However, the Sky-Piercing Divine Fire Pillars could, at least, be refined. Unlike the Earth Scripture and Nameless Ancient Cauldron, it might be slow, but with a few years’ time, he could refine all eight Divine Fire Pillars.
“As long as I completely refine the eight Sky-Piercing Divine Fire Pillars, then I can be confident in killing the Green Ox King.”
Having obtained this set of treasures, Lu Changsheng was confident about defeating the Green Ox King.
What he needed to do now was to refine the eight Sky-Piercing Divine Fire Pillars and wait for several disciples to pass the Tribulation to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, then he could return to Unparalleled City and seek revenge on the Green Ox King.
“Qianqian, come here.”
Lu Changsheng immediately initiated a Power-infusing Initiation for Ning Qianqian, who had just broken through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm.
[Ding, you have transferred 100,000 Heavenly Cultivation to your disciple Ning Qianqian, who has actually gained 20,000 Heavenly Cultivation. You receive a fiftyfold return reward from teaching a disciple: 1,000,000 Heavenly Cultivation.]
Spiritual Energy equivalent to one million Heavenly Cultivation surged within Lu Changsheng’s Dantian, flooding his Qi Sea!
The Earth Scripture and the Nameless Ancient Cauldron devoured the excess Spiritual Energy like mad.
The Earth Scripture swallowed 350,000 of the Heavenly Cultivation Spiritual Energy, while the Nameless Ancient Cauldron consumed 150,000, leaving Lu Changsheng with 500,000 Heavenly Cultivation.
Lu Changsheng had no choice but to let these two treasures be.
These two treasures needed a vast amount of Spiritual Energy to be repaired, and Lu Changsheng considered this an investment for the future.
The Earth Scripture remained unchanged, whereas the cracks on the Nameless Ancient Cauldron greatly diminished.
“This treasure, I bestow upon you to wield.”
Lu Changsheng presented Ning Qianqian with a Demon Sword of mid-grade Ultimate Treasure level.
[Ding, you have rewarded your disciple Ning Qianqian with the mid-grade Ultimate Treasure “Dragon Bone Sword,” and you receive a hundredfold return reward from teaching your disciple: a high-grade Ultimate Treasure “Eight Desolation Fire Dragon Sword”.]
[Remaining Ultimate Treasure/Treasured Fragment returns for this year -1.]

Lu Changsheng then took out a Pan Peach aged thirty thousand years and fed it to Ning Qianqian.
[Ding, you rewarded your disciple Ning Qianqian with a thirty thousand year Pan Peach, acquiring a hundredfold return reward from teaching your disciple: Purple-patterned Pan Peach Tree.]
[Purple-patterned Pan Peach Tree: One of the divine trees of the Immortal Realm, capable of yielding Pan Peaches of three, six, nine thousand years, and thirty thousand years.]
A Pan Peach Tree was added to Lu Changsheng’s medicinal garden within his body.
Lu Changsheng’s medicinal garden housed the Ginseng Fruit Tree, Pan Peach Trees, and various ginsengs, Ganoderma, and lotuses.
“If rewarding a thirty thousand year Pan Peach yields a Pan Peach Tree, then what if I reward a thousand thirty thousand year Pan Peaches? Wouldn’t that return a thousand Purple-patterned Pan Peach Trees, reaping a thousand thirty thousand year Pan Peaches every thirty thousand years? What about ten thousand trees? A hundred thousand trees?”
Lu Changsheng pondered for a moment, realizing the importance of developing his medicinal garden. Periodically, he could harvest Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures without wasting the disciple teaching return chances.
If he had one hundred thousand Purple-patterned Pan Peach Trees, he could, on average, produce three Pan Peaches daily, and these would be thirty thousand year Purple-patterned golden-core Pan Peaches.
Just by selling these Pan Peaches, Lu Changsheng could become rich enough to rival nations.
Ning Qianqian savored the Pan Peach with relish.
A thirty thousand year Pan Peach could extend life by thirty thousand years, but Ning Qianqian didn’t truly care.
With her Dragon Emperor Bloodline, her lifespan was exceedingly long. Adding another thirty thousand years was merely icing on the cake.
Ning Qianqian merely treated the thirty thousand year Pan Peach as a fruit brimming with Spiritual Energy, sweet and delicious.
If other cultivators saw Ning Qianqian treating such a treasure as mere fruit, they would be heartbroken and cry out in anguish.
Such a waste of a heavenly gift!
“Master, Lian wants to eat too~”
Lu Qinglian, seeing Ning Qianqian receive the Great Pan Peach, started to pester Lu Changsheng.
“…”
Both these disciples were foodies. Lu Changsheng had no choice but to take out another Great Pan Peach to use as a snack for Lu Qinglian.
Fortunately, disciples Xiao Fan and Dugu Aotian were not foodies. They understood that the effects of Pan Peaches don’t stack, so there was no need to overindulge.
In the meantime, Lu Changsheng focused on refining the Sky-Piercing Divine Fire Pillar.
During this time, Lu Changsheng allowed his several disciples to gain experience in nearby minor nations, upholding justice and accumulating virtue.
In the Immortal Realm, at the sacred land of Yaochi, Immortal Qi surrounded the area, the waters of the pool were as calm as a mirror, and the water of Yaochi was pure and flawless, containing Spiritual Energy that would astonish anyone.
