Chapter 317
Wan Yitong looked at Yan Tianhen sympathetically as he propped up his chin. “Didn’t your master teach you a meditation method before?”
Yan Tianhen nodded, his tone incomparably bitter, “Yeah, every day I have to recite the secret manual my master taught me three whole times from beginning to end and pull out all the weeds on Sinking Sword Peak. Now there are no more weeds to pull out.”
Wan Yitong, “…”
Duan Yuyang, “….”
Truly, what a pity!
How come I feel a little sad but also feel like laughing?
Although Yan Tianhen’s restless mood remained shaken up all day long, he didn’t suffer a decline in his cultivation speed with Esteemed Huai Yu keeping him under control. This made Duan Yuyang feel that Yan Tianhen really needed a master willing to give him tough love!
Wan Yitong patted Yan Tianhen on the shoulder, “I’ll go and see if there are any more weeds on the nearby mountaintops that haven’t been cleaned up yet. It’ll save you the trouble of having nothing to do and letting your imagination run wild.”
Yan Tianhen weakly nodded.
After Wan Yitong left, Yan Tianhen lifted up his spirits and stared blankly at Duan Yuyang’s abdomen, wanting to see whether or not there was a fully-developed baby inside.
“Yuyang Gege, how is my big nephew?”
Duan Yuyang rubbed his stomach, “Alright; it didn’t create that much disturbance. Dad found me many spiritual pills and miracle medicine, so at least he preserved this boy’s life.”
Ah, he was already calling Su Mo “Dad”. It seemed that they got along very well.
“Then can the poison inside your body be cured?”
Duan Yuyang sighed a little, “Not yet, we’re two herbs short. It can only be alleviated for the time being, not eliminated.”
Yan Tianhen asked with a frown, “What herbs do you need? Let me see if my master has any.”
Duan Yuyang’s heart warmed and he smiled, “I don’t think so. Dad has already visited Profound Sky Sect to ask for medicine, but he didn’t find any. It’s said that the two medicines have already gone extinct in the outside world, and the only existing herbs grow in West Continent’s Myriad Beasts Demonic Forest. He intends to travel to the West Continent to take a look.”
Yan Tianhen took a slight breath, “Myriad Beasts Demonic Forest, that’s not a good place. It’s said that there are great mountains, deep ravines, and hidden pools. There are even ancient trees tall enough to reach the heavens and countless demonic beasts and monsters. It’s exceedingly dangerous. Many people never leave once they enter the forest.”
“Yeah,” Duan Yuyang also nodded, “so Dad is planning to leave this matter to mercenary groups.”
Yan Tianhen thought of the Cloud Summit mercenary group. Ever since the last time when he saw Qi Yun, there was no news of them for the next month.
Yan Tianhen couldn’t help frowning, “Mercenary groups aren’t very efficient; you should choose them carefully.”
Duan Yuyang smiled, “Although I am physically in Profound City, I heard that you and Lin Xuanzhi went looking for trouble with Yongtai Manor?”
Yan Tianhen was filled with indignation. “Don’t even mention it. Although we took the initiative to attack them, the root cause of the problem is on them.”
Duan Yuyang asked, “What happened?”
Yan Tianhen had been holding in a belly full of anger recently. He finally found a person whom he could freely complain to, so he carefully told Duan Yuyang the details from beginning to end.
Duan Yuyang was also willing to listen to Yan Tianhen’s rant. In this way, firstly, he learned about how Yan Tianhen had been doing recently, and secondly, he could let Yan Tianhen, this chatterbox, forget about Lin Xuanzhi for the time being.
Three days later.
The last forged stone had all its spiritual Qi exhausted and turned into a grayish-black waste. A pill furnace with six openings entwined with scarlet vines and fruits on the outer surface was formed and was quietly lifted up by spiritual Qi in front of Lin Xuanzhi.
Lin Xuanzhi slowly opened his eyes, palms up, and turned his fingers slightly. The pill furnace began to slowly rotate in the air.
The pill furnace’s outer surface was a matte dark purple, with three legs below. The design looked adorable and even somewhat cute.
In fact, magic treasures didn’t have standard shapes. Depending on what shape the craftsman had in mind when refining the equipment, even if it was the same person, the magic treasure refined wouldn’t be exactly the same, just like this pill furnace.
En, it suits my family’s Ah Hen very well.
Lin Xuanzhi thought with satisfaction.
When he crafted items, he mostly followed his heart; valuing results first and design second. Therefore, most of the magic treasures refined from his hands were elegant and unadorned, clean and simple after being washed.
However, every inch of this pill furnace, from inside to outside and from top to bottom, was meticulously and delicately crafted. Lin Xuanzhi spent three whole days just on the dark line patterns on the outer wall, let alone the other more precise structures and fusion processes.
Although he didn’t have any distractions when he crafted the equipment, it wasn’t like his mind was empty of all thoughts. When he was designing the general shape of the pill furnace, he thought of Yan Tianhen.
What kind of pill furnace was suitable for Ah Hen?
Is it longer? Is it rounder? Is it shorter? Is it fatter?
Lin Xuanzhi pondered over and over again, changed again and again, and eventually finalized this pill furnace’s design.
The truly powerful magic treasures, just like sword cultivators’ swords, must be tailored for the user in order to be the most suitable and the best. Lin Xuanzhi felt very satisfied.
“Now, you’re already a Teal Soul first stage craftsman.” Soul Plate’s tone was extremely complex.
Lin Xuanzhi was slightly stunned, “I didn’t even realize that my soulfire cultivation is higher than my spiritual root cultivation.”
Teal Soul corresponded to Primary Realm’s Calcified Bones Stage and Condensed Pulse Stage, which meant that the offensive, defensive, and auxiliary items that he refined could at most withstand a full-powered blow from cultivators at these two stages, yet his own cultivation, was no more than Hardened Body Stage third layer. This kind of situation wasn’t common, but Lin Xuanzhi guessed that it should be because he forcibly suppressed his cultivation to the peak of Hardened Body Stage instead of allowing himself to directly breakthrough to the Primary Realm.
