Chapter 1649
Benefits of the Spiritual Treasure Trove
"I didn't expect that I could forge a top-grade fifth-tier Golden Feather Arrow with just three sets of materials."
"We were really lucky this time."
"Moreover, with this arrow, our sect's foundation can be greatly enhanced."
"Even a hundred years from now, when I pass away, my sect will only have that kid Geng Jin at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage."
"I'm afraid my sect can still deter those hungry wolves in the surrounding area."
"..."
The old Taoist priest Jin Yu examined the fifth-grade top-quality Golden Feather Arrow and was overjoyed.
Moreover, after testing, he discovered that the power of the arrow was even stronger than he had imagined. When paired with the Golden Feather Bow, its power was even stronger than the full-force attack of an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator.
It is likely that this could allow them to instantly kill ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators in their early or mid-stages.
In addition, the Jin Yuan Immortal Sect had gained considerable benefits during the demonic chaos several hundred years ago, and even acquired a large number of treasure lands.
Although this was a good thing, it greatly enhanced the foundation of the Jin Yuan Immortal Sect.
But it was also a disaster, attracting the attention of many powerful forces.
Especially in recent years, as the condition of the Golden Feather Old Daoist has deteriorated, those forces have become bolder and have frequently clashed with the Golden Origin Immortal Sect.
If it weren't for the fact that the Golden Origin Immortal Sect had another late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, "Gengjin Daojun," in charge, those forces would probably have already made their move.
Under such circumstances, the Golden Feather Elder Daoist was extremely afraid that after his death, the sect would face a crisis.
That is why he is so eager to reforge the Golden Feather Arrow, so that his sect will have another trump card and thus more power to protect itself.
This is truly a treasure.
'Moreover, once the Golden Origin Immortal Sect obtains its power, its strength will likely increase even further.'
Seeing this, Ling Pengyun couldn't help but feel envious and moved, and secretly sighed.
He then immediately offered a few words of congratulations to the old Taoist master Jin Yu.
"I must thank you for this, young friend. If it weren't for your excellent crafting skills and your full assistance, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to craft this treasure on my own."
"Old Taoist Master Jin Yu said with a smile."
"You're too kind, senior."
"This junior is merely assisting you, senior. The main reason is your exceptional skill in weapon crafting. In fact, if you were given more time, you might even be able to enter the path of fifth-grade top-quality weapon crafting."
Ling Pengyun said sincerely.
The old Taoist master Jin Yu possessed exceptional talent in weapon crafting.
Moreover, he has the backing of the Jin Yuan Immortal Sect, which gives him access to the experience left behind by countless predecessors in the art of weapon crafting within the sect.
In his early years, he also received guidance from highly skilled weapon refiners.
His progress in weapon crafting has been consistently excellent.
Even more remarkably, he had already reached the level of a veteran fifth-grade high-quality weapon refiner hundreds of years ago.
Under such circumstances, it is normal that he was able to reach the fifth-order top-grade path and lead the successful refining of this weapon.
"Alas, it's a pity that I no longer have that much time."
"By the way, young friend, our sect still has two excellent materials for refining weapons."
"I wonder if you would be willing to continue to help my sect reforge the remaining Golden Feather Arrows?"
The old Taoist priest Jin Yu said with a hint of helplessness and anticipation.
The Golden Origin Immortal Sect had prepared five sets of refining materials, but only three sets have been used so far, leaving two sets remaining.
Besides, how could he not know the progress of his own weapon-refining skills?
However, the art of weapon crafting is extremely complex.
Even if he, like most of the talented weapon-refining predecessors of the Golden Origin Immortal Sect, has the potential to go even further.
But time waits for no one.
Of course, you could also say that they are not qualified enough.
Otherwise, if he had strong aptitude, he could have easily reached that level of weapon crafting within his limited lifespan.
"nature."
Ling Pengyun naturally wouldn't refuse the idea of joining forces to reforge and refine the weapon.
After all, he had gained a lot of experience in refining golden feather arrows when he successfully reforged them.
However, the words of the old Taoist Jin Yu made his mind sink.
time!
This is really important.
Even he had to take it seriously.
'If I have the opportunity in the future, I could cultivate the special life-extending natal spiritual plant, the Azure Immortal Tea Tree, which I refined after reaching the Nascent Soul stage.'
Ling Pengyun secretly made a plan.
That tea tree is extremely special; the tea leaves it produces, known as the "Azure Immortal Tea," are considered an excellent longevity-enhancing substance.
Moreover, each time it advances in rank, it can also replenish a large amount of lifespan for Ling Pengyun.
Indirectly, its contribution to lifespan is also quite remarkable.
Most importantly, he had already reached the fifth rank under Ling Pengyun's tutelage.
It has even reached the peak of the fifth-order low-grade for a long time, and is only one step away from the fifth-order middle-grade.
However, his foundation is relatively weak, and he is not yet confident of breaking through to the next level, so he is still working on refining his foundation.
However, if we could obtain enough spiritual items to aid us in transforming into divine beings, this matter could be expedited.
Afterwards, Ling Pengyun and the old Taoist Jin Yu meditated for a while, digesting their previous weapon-refining experience and restoring themselves to their best condition before starting again.
During the remaining two attempts to reforge the arrows, they were relatively lucky, failing once and succeeding once.
Upon careful calculation, the Golden Origin Immortal Sect successfully reforged two top-grade fifth-tier Golden Feather Arrows during this arrow reforging process.
Moreover, if those two arrows were fired simultaneously, their power would be extraordinary.
In addition, during the forging of those two arrow feathers, due to the secret technique, a total of four arrow feathers were used as fuel and directly dissipated.
Only three fifth-grade high-quality golden feather arrows remained.
But such expenditure is worthwhile.
This was beyond what the Golden Feather Taoist Master had expected.
He was radiant and much more energetic. Afterwards, he readily gave Ling Pengyun the money he had promised for refining the weapon.
However, he became more wary of Ling Pengyun, lest Ling Pengyun resort to underhanded tactics.
Such thoughts are unavoidable.
After all, no one is perfect.
"Senior is a man of his word."
“In that case, I will return to my Cangxuan lineage first.”
Ling Pengyun knew Jin Yu Laodaojun's thoughts well, and in order to avoid misunderstandings that could lead to a fight, he took the initiative to leave.
He then summoned his wife Yan Siyi, who had been waiting for him, and the Star Sea Ancestor, and left the Golden Origin Immortal Sect.
They then returned towards the Cangxuan lineage.
"This young friend Pengyun is indeed trustworthy, and has not caused any trouble so far. Seeking him to refine weapons this time was a wise move."
"..."
As Jin Yu Lao Dao Jun watched Ling Pengyun and the others leave, he felt relieved, and his brows were full of joy.
……
the other side.
Ling Pengyun and the others were on their way back to the Cangxuan lineage.
"Pengyun, were you and the old Taoist Jinyu working together to reforge the Golden Feather Arrow, one of the Golden Yuan Immortal Sect's most treasured artifacts?"
While waiting for Ling Pengyun to refine his weapon at the Golden Origin Immortal Sect, Ancestor Xinghai discovered that two Golden Feather Arrows from the Golden Origin Immortal Sect had triggered tribulation lightning. Curious, he asked Ling Pengyun about it.
Yan Siyi was also quite curious about this matter, so she also looked at Ling Pengyun.
"good."
Ling Pengyun did not hide anything.
"Pengyun, did you obtain the method for refining the Golden Feather Arrow?" Ancestor Xinghai's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked.
His main purpose in following Ling Pengyun was to see if Ling Pengyun could obtain the method for forging that powerful magic weapon while he and the Golden Feather Old Daoist were working together to refine it.
The Cangxuan lineage has a very weak foundation, so it doesn't have any powerful methods for refining spiritual treasures.
"Of course."
"Moreover, I gained a lot during the time I assisted Senior Jin Yu in reforging the arrow feathers."
"Give me a few more years to digest this information, and I am fully confident that I can refine some special sets of fifth-grade low- to mid-grade spiritual treasures, the Golden Feather Bow and Arrow."
"Even a hundred years from now, there's no guarantee that this junior might be able to forge a fifth-grade superior Golden Feather Bow and Arrow."
Ling Pengyun said confidently.
"This is truly a great thing. Upon closer examination, our trip wasn't entirely in vain."
"By the way, Pengyun, a hundred years from now, once you are confident in crafting a fifth-grade superior golden feather bow and arrow, you must help me craft one."
"I will certainly repay you with a generous gift at that time."
Ancestor Xinghai's eyes lit up slightly as he spoke his thoughts.
The Golden Feather Bow and Arrow were indeed quite powerful.
Moreover, it is a ranged attack magic weapon, which is exceptionally useful whether used for surprise attacks or to break through protective barriers.
The Star Sea Ancestor was extremely fond of such spiritual treasures, and they could also make up for the deficiencies in his spiritual treasures.
He desperately wanted to get his hands on one.
“This is easy to discuss. As long as Ancestor obtains enough materials for refining weapons, this junior will definitely help.”
Ling Pengyun said with a smile.
Although the Golden Feather Daoist had previously forbidden him from revealing the crafting method of the Golden Feather Bow and Arrow, he did not prohibit him from using that crafting method to make Golden Feather Bows and Arrows for other cultivators.
"Thank you very much."
When the Star Sea Ancestor saw Ling Pengyun agree, his face lit up with joy.
Even after he returned to the Cangxuan lineage, he immediately instructed the Cangxuan lineage to try to collect spiritual materials for refining the Golden Feather Bow and Arrow.
Ling Pengyun felt the same way, after all, he also longed for such spiritual treasures and wanted to refine one himself.
Although the spiritual materials needed to refine that treasure are rare, the Cangxuan lineage has many channels available today.
In addition, Ling Pengyun and the Star Sea Ancestor had a strong foundation and offered substantial benefits, so their material collection made some progress.
……
at the same time.
Because the commotion caused by Ling Pengyun and Jin Yu Laodaojun's joint efforts to reforge those two pillars was too great, it was inevitable that the matter would be leaked.
Although those two arrows, taken individually, are not as powerful as ordinary fifth-grade top-quality spiritual treasures.
However, the combined power of the two is still quite good, at least much stronger than a typical fifth-grade high-level spiritual treasure.
Furthermore, fifth-tier top-grade spiritual treasures are extremely rare in the entire Heavenly River Realm.
Such a treasure has not appeared in the Heavenly River Realm for tens of thousands of years.
This matter stirred up countless waves.
now.
Deep within the Radiant Star Immortal Sect, the strongest force of the righteous path, lies a cave dwelling with exceptionally rich spiritual energy.
A peculiar middle-aged man was sitting cross-legged here in meditation.
He wore the Daoist robe of the Yaoxing Immortal Sect, and his temperament was extraordinary, as dazzling as the stars in the sky.
Once you see someone, it will be hard to forget what they look like.
This person was none other than the powerful being of the Shining Star Immortal Sect, the "Shining Star Dao Lord," who had reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.
However, his current situation is somewhat unfavorable.
During that period of demonic chaos, the powerful Silver Moon Bear Clan, a top-tier Nascent Soul demon clan, persuaded the Nascent Soul Perfected Demon Cultivator within the only top-tier Nascent Soul Demon Sect in the Heavenly River Realm to help them fight against Dao Lord Yaoxing.
Yao Xing Dao Jun was already finding it difficult to cope.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the Nascent Soul cultivator's lifespan was extremely precarious at the time, and his strength was less than 70% of what it was when he was at his peak.
I'm afraid it will be very difficult for Daoist Yaoxing to overcome that hurdle.
Afterwards, although he managed to repel the two demons who had reached the Nascent Soul stage, he himself was also seriously injured.
Even after hundreds of years of seclusion and the expenditure of countless healing items, he was still unable to recover.
'I truly never expected that the Golden Origin Immortal Sect would possess such skill, managing to reforge two top-grade fifth-tier Golden Feather Arrows in succession.'
'This kind of thing is also a powerful weapon. If I could obtain it, my strength could increase by at least ten or twenty percent.'
'In this way, when I face two Nascent Soul stage cultivators from both the demon and monster factions simultaneously in the future, I will be able to fight them to a standstill, and won't be as humiliated as I was before.'
At this moment, after learning about the Golden Feather Arrow through sect channels, the Radiant Star Immortal Sect's eyes immediately gleamed with countless sharp rays.
He immediately went to the Golden Origin Immortal Sect.
……
Soon after.
Inside the mountain gate of the Jin Yuan Immortal Sect.
'The two arrows my sect reforged are truly powerful; I never imagined that even someone like Daoist Yaoxing would be drawn here.'
Looking at Yaoxing Daojun who appeared outside the mountain gate, Jin Yu Lao Daojun naturally guessed the purpose of Yaoxing Daojun's visit, but he was extremely troubled by it.
"Master, what should we do?"
The other late-stage Nascent Soul Daoist from the Golden Origin Immortal Sect, Gengjin Daojun, who was standing nearby, also had some worries and immediately asked.
"I don't have any good solutions either, I can only deal with things as they come."
"But no matter what, we must protect those two top-grade fifth-tier golden arrows."
"After all, they were crafted from countless spiritual materials collected by our sect over tens of thousands of years."
"If it is lost, our sect will suffer a great loss."
The old Taoist master Jin Yu said with unwavering determination.
He then went to greet Yaoxing Daojun outside the mountain gate and invited him into a luxurious reception hall of the Jinyuan Immortal Sect.
"Fellow Daoist Jin Yu, my visit this time is truly abrupt, and I hope you will not take offense."
Yaoxing Daojun said with a smile.
"Fellow Taoist, you're welcome."
"By the way, fellow Daoist, please speak frankly if you have something to say."
The old Taoist priest Jin Yu said.
"That's good. I heard that your sect has just reforged two top-grade fifth-tier golden arrows."
"And this is a rare item; even I am quite tempted by it."
"I intend to purchase them, along with your clan's Golden Feather Bow."
"Moreover, I am willing to offer five top-grade fifth-rank spiritual treasures, plus a top-grade fifth-rank Radiant Star Rejuvenation Pill that can extend the lifespan of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator by five hundred years."
"I wonder if you would be willing?"
Yaoxing Daojun offered huge profits.
Even the old Taoist master Jin Yu couldn't help but be tempted upon hearing this.
The benefits are truly enormous.
Moreover, Yaoxing Daojun also paid a premium for it.
Upon closer examination, this transaction is indeed extremely worthwhile.
However, the two arrows that Jin Yu Lao Dao Jun and Ling Peng Yun had just reforged, as well as the Jin Yu Bow, were too important to the future of the Jin Yuan Immortal Sect, so he was unwilling to trade them away.
Daoist Yaoxing was extremely helpless about this.
Moreover, he is still injured, and those two top-grade fifth-tier arrows can also pose a threat to him.
He was unwilling to use force, lest he give demons an opportunity to take advantage.
He then settled for second best, using the fifth-grade, high-quality longevity-enhancing pill, the "Radiant Star Rejuvenating Pill," as the source. They agreed that the Golden Origin Immortal Sect would need to lend the Radiant Star Immortal Sect the two Golden Origin Arrows and a bow and arrow three times in the future if necessary.
