Chapter 1648
Rank 5 Top-Grade Golden Element Arrow Feather
As the initiator of this joint weapon-forging effort, the Jin Yuan Immortal Sect was naturally well aware of the difficulties involved.
However, the Golden Origin Immortal Sect had already found a relatively good solution.
The Jin Yuan Immortal Sect has produced some exceptionally talented predecessors in the past, and they had long intended to reforge the arrow feathers.
They even used this to create a very special method of weapon crafting.
Once activated, it can mobilize the power of the remaining arrows during the reforging of the golden feather arrows, fully assisting a few arrows in their transformation.
However, the remaining arrows were basically useless afterwards.
However, the probability of having to recast the arrows will also increase significantly.
Moreover, the Golden Origin Immortal Sect has other trump cards.
"In fact, if I were to receive further assistance from my young friend, the chances of success would be at least 50% to 60%."
"Furthermore, although the risks of this weapon forging are great, the benefits are also great."
Although the old Taoist Jin Yu had some concerns, he felt somewhat relieved when he thought of Ling Pengyun's exceptional skill in weapon crafting.
A top-grade fifth-tier Golden Feather Arrow might be considered ordinary on its own.
However, if it were paired with the Golden Feather Bow, the top-grade fifth-rank superior-quality weapon of the Golden Yuan Immortal Sect, its power would likely be exceptionally extraordinary, perhaps even comparable to a full-force strike from a Nascent Soul cultivator at the peak of their cultivation.
Under such circumstances, if the Golden Origin Immortal Sect can refine one or two top-grade fifth-rank arrow feathers this time...
It is likely that the strength of the Golden Origin Immortal Sect could increase dramatically, and even if the Golden Feather Elder Daoist passes away in the future, the Golden Origin Immortal Sect could probably maintain its peak state.
Moreover, even those forces in the Heavenly River Realm that possess the perfected Nascent Soul stage would probably not dare to provoke the Golden Origin Immortal Sect casually, lest they bring trouble upon themselves.
"I never expected that your clan would possess such formidable methods."
"In that case, I am willing to lend a hand."
After learning everything, Ling Pengyun's worries immediately disappeared, and he gained more respect for the old-established power, the Golden Origin Immortal Sect, which was skilled in weapon crafting.
"Very good, very good."
Upon hearing this, the old Taoist Jin Yu was overjoyed.
He then handed over to Ling Pengyun the method for refining the fifth-grade top-quality Golden Feather Bow and Arrow, which the Golden Yuan Immortal Sect had deduced and reforged in its early years.
However, the method for forging the Golden Feather Bow and Arrow was, after all, the culmination of the efforts of generations of predecessors of the Golden Yuan Immortal Sect.
The old Taoist master Jin Yu did not want his story to be widely circulated.
He then had Ling Pengyun swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao and even sign a Yuanhun Contract, among other things, to prevent the news from spreading.
Ling Pengyun naturally had no objection and immediately did as instructed.
This matter also greatly pleased the Golden Feather Taoist.
'Young friend Pengyun is indeed reliable.'
The old Taoist priest Jin Yu sighed inwardly.
At this moment, Ling Pengyun was watching with great anticipation the forging method of the powerful fifth-grade top-quality Golden Feather Bow and Arrow.
'This weapon-refining method is truly profound. No wonder the Golden Feather Bow and Arrow, the sect's most prized weapon, is so powerful, far surpassing any ordinary fifth-grade high-level spiritual treasure of the same level.'
Ling Pengyun was astonished upon seeing this.
In addition, he had witnessed the power of the complete set of magical artifacts, the Golden Feather Bow and Arrow, in his early years, and he had always been extremely fond of such treasures.
Unfortunately, the Cangxuan lineage does not possess the method for forging such powerful bows and arrows.
He could only ever envy the Golden Origin Immortal Sect.
However, now that he has obtained the method for forging the Golden Feather Bow and Arrow, as long as his forging skills are sufficient and he gathers enough resources in the future, he can certainly try to forge it.
"Furthermore, although the method of refining weapons is complex, my assistance to Senior Jin Yu in reforging the arrow fletchings is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for practice."
'This will be quite beneficial for my future attempt to forge a high-level Golden Feather Bow for myself.'
Ling Pengyun chuckled to himself.
He then went into seclusion to study the weapon-refining method.
His comprehension was exceptional, and with the guidance of the Golden Feather Old Daoist, he was able to achieve great things.
In just a few years, he mastered the basics of that method.
"I didn't expect you, young friend Pengyun, to have grasped the basics of weapon crafting so quickly. It seems you have quite a talent for weapon crafting."
"Who knows, young friend, you might one day be able to explore the art of crafting fifth-grade top-quality weapons."
The old Taoist master Jin Yu was slightly surprised by the speed at which Ling Pengyun comprehended the weapon-refining method.
"You're absolutely right, senior."
"By the way, senior, now that the time is ripe, let's begin the weapon forging process."
Ling Pengyun had been eagerly anticipating the weapon-forging matter, so he immediately spoke up.
"it is good!"
Jin Yu Lao Daojun naturally did not refuse, and then he led Ling Pengyun into the core area of Jin Yuan Immortal Sect, "Jin Yuan Mountain".
The extremely special fifth-order superior-grade metal-attribute spiritual vein of the Golden Origin Immortal Sect is located here.
Moreover, that spiritual vein is accompanied by a treasure land called the "Golden Yuan Evil Qi Treasure Cave".
Every so often, it can generate a unique and extraordinary golden energy.
Such malevolent energy is very beneficial to metal-attribute spiritual treasures, not only because it can quickly nurture the essence of metal-attribute spiritual treasures.
It can even be used as a special 'fuel' for refining weapons, and this method of refining weapons can greatly increase the success rate of refining weapons.
The Jin Yuan Immortal Sect possesses a unique method for refining such artifacts.
It was precisely because of this treasure land that this sect was able to gradually refine the Golden Feather Bow and Arrow to the top level of the fifth rank.
Most importantly, the Golden Yuan Immortal Sect had planned this weapon forging in advance.
For tens of thousands of years, they have rarely used the golden energy within that treasure cave.
Indirectly, the golden elemental evil energy within this treasure cave becomes extremely dense.
The malevolent energy was countless.
There are even dozens of rare fifth-order golden elemental evil energies here.
Moreover, there are several of them that are of the fifth-order superior quality.
There were even three top-grade fifth-tier malevolent energies.
Such a thing is extremely valuable. If it were released to the outside world, it would probably cause quite a stir, and even cultivators at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage might be attracted to it.
'The weapon-refining foundation of the Golden Origin Immortal Sect is truly not to be underestimated.'
Ling Pengyun sighed inwardly.
Afterwards, he meditated with the old Taoist priest Jin Yu for a while, restoring his condition to its best.
"Young friend Pengyun, get ready."
Immediately afterwards, the old Taoist Jin Yu greeted Ling Pengyun and made a hand seal, activating an extremely special weapon-refining method.
The countless malevolent energies within the entire Golden Ingot Cave were instantly activated, transforming into an exceptionally unique 'refining furnace'.
For a moment, the Golden Feather Old Daoist was as if he were using heaven and earth as a furnace.
He then took out nine arrows from his family's treasured Golden Feather Bow and Arrow Set and divided them into three sets.
Each portion contains three sticks.
He then threw three of them into the vast expanse of malevolent energy.
In addition, he also took out a batch of rare refining materials for reforging those arrow feathers.
Among them are many high-grade fifth-order refining materials, and even some top-grade fifth-order materials.
It was a fist-sized piece of golden jeweled iron, of extraordinary value.
Based on its size, it might even be enough to serve as half of the main material for a fifth-grade top-quality spiritual treasure.
'These materials are truly excellent; the Golden Origin Immortal Sect has certainly made ample preparations.'
'However, considering the circumstances, the Golden Origin Immortal Sect must have expended considerable effort and resources to gather those materials.'
Ling Pengyun gazed at the materials, making his own guesses. As a weapon refiner, he had a fairly good understanding of the various weapon-refining materials available in the Heavenly River Realm.
Although the Heavenly River Realm is a prosperous place with many spiritual creatures.
However, spirit objects of the fifth rank or higher are relatively rare.
Even for a powerful force like the Golden Origin Immortal Sect, it would be extremely difficult to collect spiritual items of the fifth rank or higher.
Not to mention, getting that fist-sized piece of fifth-grade top-quality Golden Radiance Iron is impossible.
Ling Pengyun's guess was indeed correct. In the early years, the Golden Origin Immortal Sect had to offer two powerful fifth-grade high-quality spiritual treasures in order to obtain that precious iron from an established power.
After that incident, the Golden Origin Immortal Sect felt quite distressed for a long time.
After all, even the Golden Origin Immortal Sect doesn't have many fifth-grade high-quality spiritual treasures.
And this moment.
"Refining!"
As the Golden Feather Daoist changed his finger technique, the baleful energy surged into the three arrows and the spiritual materials, continuously refining them.
Moreover, as time went on, the three arrow feathers and the other spiritual materials gradually liquefied.
Then the liquid formed from the spiritual materials gradually merged into the three streams of molten iron.
The molten iron in those three arrows gradually increased in strength, eventually increasing several times over.
However, its current strength is like a rootless floating object, only temporary.
To truly maintain its formidable strength, the only way is to deeply refine its inherent patterns, allowing those patterns to firmly control its underlying essence.
However, this is extremely difficult.
Just as the old Daoist Jin Yu was about to use his divine sense as an iron pen to perfect those artifact patterns, those patterns began to violently repel him.
The quality of those artifact patterns was high, with many of them even reaching the fifth-grade upper level.
The power they contain is extremely formidable.
Even a veteran fifth-tier high-grade weapon refiner like Jin Yu Lao Dao Jun was somewhat unable to suppress it.
Under such circumstances, it would be extremely difficult to spare the resources to perfect those artifact patterns.
Furthermore, perfecting the weapon's patterns is, after all, the most crucial step in reforging the arrow fletching.
Moreover, if this goes wrong, the attempt to reforge the arrows will also fail.
Even the spiritual materials that the Golden Origin Immortal Sect had painstakingly produced would be wasted.
Those arrows may also be severely damaged, resulting in a significant reduction in their power.
Old Taoist Jin Yu dared not act rashly.
"Young friend Pengyun, I hope you will do your best to help."
The old Taoist Jin Yu's expression became more solemn, and he immediately called out to Ling Pengyun who was standing to the side.
"Senior, rest assured, I will definitely not let the resources spent on inviting me here go to waste."
Ling Pengyun made a promise and then immediately took action.
"Lingxiao's Art of Suppressing Weapons".
He immediately used the technique of suppressing weapon patterns that he had perfected in his early years through various advanced weapon-refining methods.
This technique and Ling Pengyun's technique share the same origin, so the power he unleashes is stronger.
It is even much stronger than ordinary suppression artifact techniques.
In addition, Ling Pengyun's weapon-refining skills have also reached the fifth-order superior level.
The power of the technique he used was quite terrifying, not much weaker than the technique for suppressing artifact patterns mastered by the Golden Feather Old Daoist.
It was precisely because of this that, with Ling Pengyun's timely assistance, the turbulent artifact patterns within the three arrows were gradually suppressed.
In fact, Ling Pengyun and the Golden Feather Old Daoist still had some energy left.
They immediately began to carefully work together to perfect the weapon patterns according to the weapon-forging method.
However, those patterns were particularly complex, and this was the first time they had perfected them.
They were a bit rusty.
They even failed twice in a row.
Fortunately, the Golden Origin Immortal Sect had gathered a large quantity of materials for reforging arrow feathers, totaling five portions.
Ling Pengyun and the other two remained calm for the time being, and slowly learned from their previous failures before taking action again.
Immediately afterwards, the patterns within the molten iron of the three arrows became increasingly refined.
However, the difficulty increases as the story progresses.
It's not just the patterns on those artifacts that have a stronger repulsive force.
Moreover, the foundation of those three streams of molten iron was also starting to crumble, as if it were about to be shattered by the power of the gradually perfecting artifact patterns, and cracks began to appear.
"That's the only option we can use."
Jin Yu Lao Dao Jun was struggling, but he gritted his teeth and decided to give it a shot. He moved his divine sense.
'The Method of Refining Weapons by Combining Gold and Yuan!'
'Freeze!'
The next moment, two of the three arrows, made of molten iron, inexplicably flashed with spiritual light.
Moreover, the primal power they contained was integrated into the remaining molten iron in a short period of time.
They then dissipated.
However, this also made the remaining molten iron in the arrow much stronger.
The situation stabilized immediately, and it even benefited Ling Pengyun and Jin Yu Laodaojun in perfecting their artifact patterns.
'This method is truly exquisite, but unfortunately, it's a closely guarded secret of the Golden Origin Immortal Sect, and it's not being passed on to outsiders for the time being.'
Seeing this, Ling Pengyun was somewhat tempted, but secretly regretful.
Afterwards, he and the Golden Feather Daoist focused all their attention on perfecting the artifact's patterns.
As time went by, the patterns on the artifact were gradually perfected.
Even the core golden feather sharp weapon pattern has reached the fifth-order top-grade level.
Success!
The molten iron arrow immediately released an incomparably powerful aura, even attracting the fifth-grade top-quality Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasure Tribulation Cloud, which unleashed powerful tribulation lightning bolts.
"Although this tribulation lightning is dangerous, it is also an opportunity."
"If we can use the tribulation lightning to temper our origin, the foundation of the arrow feathers will probably be even stronger."
The old Taoist priest Jin Yu was somewhat excited. Then, with a flick of his fingers, the molten iron arrow gradually solidified rapidly with the help of countless golden elemental energies.
It transformed back into an incomparably sharp arrow.
It was about the length of an arm and the thickness of a thumb, with an extremely sharp arrowhead and several feathers stuck in the fletching. Its whole body was golden and particularly dazzling.
Moreover, as the Golden Feather Daoist took out the Golden Feather Bow and shot it out, it immediately unleashed terrifying power, directly piercing through a bolt of tribulation lightning.
The same applies to most of the remaining tribulation lightning.
The arrow's power was also greatly enhanced by the tribulation lightning.
It wasn't until the final few tribulation lightning bolts reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage that he began to feel overwhelmed.
However, this place is, after all, the territory of the Golden Origin Immortal Sect.
The old Daoist Jin Yu immediately activated the protective formation of the Jin Yuan Immortal Sect to help block the remaining tribulation lightning.
Finally, when the tribulation lightning was exhausted, the tribulation clouds in the sky used the remaining power to send down a shower of sweet dew.
The arrow feathers, nourished, underwent a transformation.
Tier 5 Supreme Item!
become!
Its prestige soared, its entire body enveloped in strands of golden energy capable of piercing through qi, making it a formidable treasure for breaking through qi barriers. (End of Chapter)
