“What, you encountered the traitor Lin Beichen? And you inflicted serious injuries on him?”
The Ancestors of Mount Taihua Sacred Land were shocked to learn that Lu Changsheng had an encounter with Lin Beichen on Meteorite Island and, together with Xia Ningxue, caused Lin Beichen to sustain severe injuries.
How strong Lin Beichen is, has been witnessed by these Ancestors. Even the combined efforts of the Elder Ancestor of Lin Clan and Jiang Family Ancestor may not necessarily match Lin Beichen. And yet, Lu Changsheng and Xia Ningxue managed to defeat him?
Although Lin Beichen was ultimately afflicted by a backlash from the vast number of Ancient Demon Worms he consumed, it still demonstrates the heaven-defying strength of Lu Changsheng and Xia Ningxue.
Upon hearing Lu Changsheng’s recount of the event, Lin Xuantong fell into deep thought.
“Master, what’s the matter?”
Seeing Lin Xuantong deep in thought, Lu Changsheng seemed to sense that he was pondering over something.
“Nothing much. Now that we know the locations of the thirteen branches of Blood Sea Palace, it’s time to inform the neighboring Holy Lands to take the opportunity to eradicate these branches.”
Lin Xuantong arranged for the disciples of the Holy Land to inform the respective Holy Lands about these locations.
“Lin Beichen still poses too great a danger to you, do not take risks lightly next time. If you encounter him, try to escape. There will be no danger once your cultivation level surpasses his.”
“Your disciple will bear this in mind. I also wish to ask which Ancestor in the entire Holy Land is most adept at crafting magical treasures? My Disciple, Dugu Aotian, has the qualifications of a Refinement Grandmaster, but unfortunately, as a master, I’m stretched too thin and lack the ability to teach this disciple.”
Lu Changsheng sought to find a master in artifact crafting for his disciple, Dugu Aotian.
In addition to being of the Demonic Ancestor Body, Dugu Aotian also possesses the talent to become a Refinement Grandmaster. However, since Lu Changsheng has the system, he couldn’t be bothered to waste time forging magical treasures, thus he isn’t well-versed in this field.
But with Dugu Aotian’s talent in this area, it would indeed be a waste not to cultivate it properly.
The magical treasures awarded by the system are crafted by the artifact refiners of the Human Race or Great Powers. If Dugu Aotian becomes a Great Power of the Human Race, then he could forge more magical treasures for the Human Race, as well as craft his own suitable magical treasures.
One’s self-forged magical treasures naturally align best with one’s attributes and can bring out the treasures’ maximum potential.
The Ancestors of various Holy Lands looked at each other with strange expressions.
“Could it be that the Ancestors are unaware who among the Holy Land has the highest level of refinement skill?”
“The Mount Taihua Goddess, who established our Mount Taihua Sacred Land, is a Refinement Grandmaster of our Human Race. She has crafted countless magical treasures. Her sister, our Elder Ancestor, had the fortune to receive guidance from the Goddess, and naturally her refinement skill is considered the first among the Holy Land.”
The words of the Elder Ancestor of Lin Clan reminded Lu Changsheng.
Lin Qinghan, even in the Immortal Emperor Realm, could forge magical treasures of the Emperor Soldier level, clearly inheriting part of her ancestor Mount Taihua Goddess’s talent, thus exhibiting astonishing forging talent.
Elder Ancestor Lin Shiyu, the sister of Mount Taihua Goddess, followed her in two Ancient Wars. With the Mount Taihua Goddess’s personal guidance, Lin Shiyu’s refining skills should be almost equal to hers.
However, Lin Shiyu has hardly shown her skills in front of Lu Changsheng, which led him to forget about this Ancestor.
If Lin Shiyu were to guide Dugu Aotian in artifact refining, perhaps he could surpass his teacher’s own skill.
After all, Dugu Aotian is the son of Demon Marshal Dugu Mietian and Fairy Yuehua of Yaochi; his natural talent is only higher, never lower, than Lin Shiyu’s.
After informing about his journey, Lu Changsheng returned to Yuntai Peak, ready to distribute the treasures acquired from Meteorite Island and arrange for Dugu Aotian to learn artifact refining under Lin Shiyu.
The Star River Sand obtained from Meteorite Island is Eighteenth Grade refining material.
Star River Sand originates from the cores of shattered stars in the Void, with varying qualities.
From an ancient and colossal star like Ziwei Ancient Star, the Star River Sand formed from its core surpasses the category of Eighteenth Grade refining materials.
Yet, the Star River Sand from Meteorite Island came from a smaller star, hence it is only about Eighteenth Grade.
Even so, sand of this caliber is sufficient to be used as material for crafting Dao Artifacts.
[Ding, your attempt to reward your disciple Dugu Aotian with Eighteenth Grade material “Star River Sand” has failed to return a mentorship reward.]
[Ding, your attempt to reward your disciple Dugu Aotian with Eighteenth Grade material “Star River Sand” has failed to return a mentorship reward.]
[Ding, your attempt to reward your disciple Dugu Aotian…]
[Ding, you have used up your mentorship return attempts for today. Please host try again tomorrow.]
Lu Changsheng had just begun rewarding his disciple and faced fourteen consecutive failures, a stark setback.
Could it be that rewarding Star River Sand, such a precious item, doesn’t count as a higher-tier treasure?
Star River Sand is the core of a star; could there be treasures of even higher grade?
Having used up today’s mentorship return opportunities, Lu Changsheng had no choice but to try again tomorrow.
In the meantime, Lu Changsheng took Dugu Aotian to meet Lin Shiyu.
“I would like to ask for a small favor from my senior.”
Lu Changsheng met Lin Shiyu, who was peerlessly elegant.
After reverting to her youthful appearance, Lin Shiyu has always maintained this look, and she resembled Lin Qinghan somewhat, as they both belong to the Lin Family.
“What favor?”
Lin Shiyu always felt that this young man was out of the ordinary; his idea of a ‘small favor’ could very well be a colossal disaster.
“I would like to ask my senior to guide my disciple in forging magical treasures.”
“He is the son of the Demon Marshal; do you think there won’t be any problems?”
“One thought can become divine; one thought can become demonic. Before the conflict between the Immortals and the Demons, the Three Realms were a place where the weak were prey to the strong. The Human Race joined forces regardless of factions to resist the rule of the Demon Race. Only after defeating the Demon Race did they split into two hostile camps. My disciple is half-blooded with Yaochi lineage and has now embarked on the Righteous Dao. We should foster him carefully, rather than let him fall into the Demonic Dao. Would this not be a great meritorious deed?”
