Chapter 379 Great Evolution Divine Light
Qiyan Palace.
As Gu Fan stepped into the hall, he immediately saw an elderly man in black with white hair and a wooden cane in his hand. The man's slightly protruding eyes were fixed on him, his gaze filled with scrutiny and anger.
He immediately guessed the man's identity; he was none other than Hong Ye, a mid-stage Nascent Soul weapon refiner.
A faint aura of magical power emanated from him, causing Gu Fan's steps to falter slightly. He immediately judged that Elder Hong's cultivation level was probably not far from the late Nascent Soul stage.
The secret plot he had previously conspired with the Third Elder involuntarily surfaced in his mind.
three years ago.
Gu Fan had just finished a sermon and was watching the weapon refiners leave when he saw Yan Fuyao enter the Azure Sky Palace. He cupped his hands and said, "Greetings, Senior. The Third Elder invites you."
A moment later, he saw Yan Guiren again in an ancient palace.
Without exchanging pleasantries, Yan Guiren bluntly presented a magical artifact and asked in a deep voice, "Elder Gu, what do you think of this treasure?"
Gu Fan took the magic weapon and saw that it was a three-inch-long round cauldron with three legs and two handles. It was green all over and emitted a faint magnetic force, obviously incorporating Qingxuan Stone.
When activated by magic, a hazy blue light appeared at the mouth of the cauldron, and a faint rumble of thunder could be heard.
The All-Seeing Eye quietly activated, allowing one to see the restrictions directly through the cauldron.
Seventeenth floor, top-grade magic treasure.
Having made up his mind, Gu Fan put down the small cauldron, looked up and smiled, "After being integrated with the Qingxuan Stone, it's not bad among high-grade magic treasures."
"good?"
Yan Guiren narrowed his eyes slightly, picked up his teacup and took a sip, his gaze trembling as if he was pondering the meaning behind Gu Fan's words.
After a long silence, he put down his teacup and tentatively asked, "So, Elder Gu can also refine magic weapons of the same grade?"
In response to Yan Guiren's question, Gu Fan chuckled and slowly shook his head.
"No way?" Yan Guiren's eyes widened suddenly, and his tone became more serious.
"Senior has misunderstood."
Gu Fan tapped the small cauldron with his finger and said confidently, "When I say this treasure is good, I mean it's just good. Even though it's a high-grade magic weapon, it's nothing special."
Gu Fan's words are true.
The quality of magical artifacts has always been assessed based on the number of layers of restrictions. Nine layers and below are considered magical artifacts, while ten to nineteen layers are considered magical treasures.
The threshold for a top-grade magic weapon is seventeen levels.
The small cauldron was forged from metal and spirit materials, but it contained a wood energy. The refiner used wood to transform into lightning, and then used the magnetic power of the Qingxuan Stone to enhance the power of the lightning.
The design concept was impeccable, but the combination of restrictions and the form of the magic weapon were nothing special to him.
If Gu Fan were to refine it, it might be forged into offensive weapons such as mirrors and swords, and the restrictions could be stacked up to eighteen layers, increasing its power by at least three points.
"If I'm not mistaken..." Gu Fan slowed his voice, guessing, "This treasure should have a mature and stable refining method, and it was forged by a weapon refiner following the instructions."
Yan Guiren's expression softened, and then he burst into laughter, nodding and saying, "Elder Gu has a good eye! This treasure is called the Thunder-Subduing Cauldron, a well-known magic weapon that the Yan family sells to the public. I never thought it would be so in the eyes of the elder."
"I was being presumptuous," Gu Fan replied, bowing his head, but his tone showed no remorse.
"Sigh..." Yan Guiren put away the Thunder-Subduing Cauldron, then took out a storage bag and gestured, "Since the elder believes that a magic weapon surpassing this treasure can be forged, why not forge one?"
"That is what I wish for." Gu Fan put away the storage bag, then took his leave.
Less than a month has passed.
When he returned to Yan Guiren, he now held a precious mirror the size of a palm.
The mirror is octagonal, with the sun, moon and stars engraved on its back. Its surface glitters with silver light, and lightning flashes from time to time. It contains eighteen layers of restrictions, and its spiritual light far surpasses that of the Thunder-Subduing Cauldron.
"This treasure is called the Void Mirror. It can absorb spiritual energy and nurture itself on its own, and when used, it can unleash a thunderous sword light."
As Gu Fan introduced the story, a hint of nostalgia flickered in his eyes.
The shape of this precious mirror is exactly the same as the Dongxu Mirror that the Immortal Xuanji bestowed upon him back then.
Yan Guiren reached out and summoned the Void Mirror into his hand. He examined it for a moment, and was overjoyed. Then he dismissed his attendants, leaving only him and Gu Fan in the hall.
"Since Elder Gu has such abilities, there are some things I can speak of with peace of mind, but today's matter... must not be told to anyone else."
As he spoke, Yan Guiren's gaze became serious.
"I understand."
Upon hearing this, Gu Fan felt a chill run down his spine, and his expression turned serious.
Yan Guiren pondered for a moment, then said slowly, "With the elder's weapon-refining skills, it's truly a waste that no orders have been placed in recent years. Would the elder like to know the inside story?"
"That's natural." Gu Fan nodded decisively.
Without orders, his source of income for spiritual practice is cut off.
The three elders of the Yan family were fighting, which left him somewhat helpless, but he was not quite sure why the Yan family was in this situation.
"This matter, in fact, is related to the attainment of the Divine Transformation stage."
Yan Guiren looked up and sighed, explaining, "The three of us are all in the late stage of Nascent Soul. If we want to advance to the Divine Transformation stage, we must obtain the Great Evolution Divine Light to transform our Nascent Souls into Divine Spirits."
Upon hearing this, Gu Fan immediately perked up.
The Great Luo Inner Landscape Heavenly Mysterious Chapter also contains a record of the Great Evolution Divine Light, but it only says that it was conceived in the evolution of the Heavenly Realm, without saying much about its specific origin.
"The Great Evolution Divine Light is a rare treasure born during the evolution of each realm. It can be said that each realm can only produce a limited amount of Great Evolution Divine Light. If the divine light of a realm dries up, one must go to other realms to find it."
Yan Guiren looked outside the hall and snorted softly: "For example, Elder Hong comes from a realm where the Great Evolution Divine Light has dried up."
Gu Fan narrowed his eyes and quickly pondered before asking, "Elder Hong joined the Yan family because of the Great Evolution Divine Light?"
""
"Exactly!" Yan Guiren nodded and said, "The way for the Qingwei Realm to obtain the Great Evolution Divine Light is firmly controlled by the three races. If he wants to obtain the Great Evolution Divine Light, he can only serve one of them."
"Only Nascent Soul cultivators can enter the location of the Great Evolution Divine Light, and each person can only enter once in their lifetime. Regardless of whether they can obtain the Great Evolution Divine Light, they must leave after one month."
"During the Nascent Soul transformation, the Great Evolution Divine Light is not just needed in its entirety. Rather, the more divine light one has, the higher the chances of success in the transformation. If the three of us want to obtain more Great Evolution Divine Light, we need the Nascent Soul cultivators under our command to serve us."
"The Grand Elder used Hong Ye to control the production of high-grade magic treasures in the clan, and then seized the power to issue orders and allocate spiritual materials. As a result, he had the most Nascent Soul cultivators under his command."
"I see." Gu Fan suddenly realized.
The three elders of the Yan family seem to be fighting for clan power, but in reality, they are fighting for the qualification to seize the Great Evolution Divine Light!
Perhaps to the Yan family patriarch, it doesn't matter who wins the Great Evolution Divine Light.
Once one advances to the Nascent Soul stage, one will ultimately be a cultivator of the Yan family.
However, the situation was quite different for the three Nascent Soul stage elders.
The path to immortality is arduous, and countless geniuses have fallen. A slight increase in the chances of victory can make all the difference.
Yan Guiren controls the trade routes that the Yan family has expanded outwards. If he can obtain sufficient supplies through Gu Fan, he can break free from Yan Qingwu's control.
He will train even more Nascent Soul cultivators to serve him!
Seeing that Gu Fan understood, Yan Guiren smiled and said, "If Elder Gu is willing to lend me a hand, then the qualification to seize the Great Evolution Divine Light can also be shared with you."
Gu Fan was immediately overjoyed.
Before he could agree, Yan Guiren continued, "However, the elder must share the profits from the Great Evolution Divine Light we collect with me."
Gu Fan nodded in understanding and asked, "I wonder how you plan to divide the profits, senior?"
"We'll split it 30/70," Yan Guiren said decisively.
"Senior only wants 30%?" Gu Fan raised an eyebrow, feigning surprise.
