Sha Yan sighed. Wasn’t alchemy great? Why did he have to become a blacksmith?

In the cultivation world, alchemists and blacksmiths despised each other.

After drinking the tea, Xu Fan waved goodbye to his beautiful Senior Sister.

“Freedom is priceless.”

Xu Fan looked at the beautiful Senior Sister flying on a Dharma artifact in the air and said, “Who can stand a 150-year-old Qi Refinement Stage cultivator?”

In the room, Xu Fan took out the refining materials he had bought. There were more than a hundred jade slips containing the Light Illusion Spell.

Xu Fan picked up the jade slip that was marked as number one and placed it between his eyebrows. Then, his spiritual power entered the jade slip.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Fan appeared in an enormous weapon refinery field, which was next to a volcano.

“Weapon refinement extracts the essence of all things to mold the Dharma treasures in the world,” said a middle-aged man standing beside the volcano.

“A qualified Dharma artifact is made up of three components: raw materials, runes, and the array formation.”

As the middle-aged man spoke, he took out a large piece of black iron ore and controlled it to float in the air.

“The spirit fire condensed at the Qi Refinement Stage is currently insufficient to refine raw materials. Therefore, you need to go to a place with abundant fire spiritual force and use the environment to refine spirit ores.”

A ball of spirit fire was drawn out from the volcanic lava by the middle-aged man and surrounded the black iron ore.

As the spirit fire burned, the black iron ore began to soften. At this moment, a giant hammer formed from spiritual energy began to temper the black iron ore as if it was forging iron.

“This is the most basic tempering method of raw materials for refining weapons. Even though primitive spirit ores have been processed through primary processing, they still need to be tempered from scratch by us master blacksmiths.”

As the black iron ore was refined, the impurities in the ore were slowly expelled. In just a short while, the black iron ore turned into a lump of black molten iron that floated in the air like a liquid.

“The tempering is complete. All that’s left is the forging. The final spell for forging can be found at the very end of the jade slip.”

After saying that, the molten iron in the air slowly transformed into an ordinary sword under the middle-aged man’s control.

“The next step is to integrate the runes into the Dharma artifact before the Dharma artifact is fully formed.”

“This is also the most crucial step.”

As the middle-aged man spoke, he used his finger as a brush and drew three runes in the air before fusing them into the sword.

“The most basic Dharma artifact requires at least three runes.”

“The three runes that I integrated just now are: Tenacity, Armor Break, and Spirit Control. As for formations, that’s what you will learn in the future.”

“The most basic runes can be found at the back of the 11th jade slip.”

After the long sword fused with the three runes, the surface of the sword began to circulate with spiritual light. Then, the blade and the tip of the sword emitted a golden aura.

“Lastly, we have to add decorations.”

As the middle-aged man spoke, he sprayed out a handful of silver powder to cover the entire sword. After a while, a very delicate-looking Dharma artifact sword appeared.

“This is the process of refining Dharma artifacts in the Qi Refinement Stage.”

With that said, the scene where Xu Fan was changed again. This time, he appeared in a school hall.

The same middle-aged man held a piece of black iron ore in his hand and said, “Next, I will introduce more than 1,000 spirit ores commonly seen in the world of cultivation.

“I will also explain the characteristics of each spirit ore.”

Xu Fan seemed to have returned to his school days.

“This is f*cking getting better and better,” said Xu Fan.

As Xu Fan studied, the interest on his face grew stronger.

Xu Fan decided that he had to learn how to refine weapons as soon as possible. There were still many plans to be made.

Three months later, Xu Fan put down the last jade slip in his hand and let out a long sigh.

“Interesting. This is much more interesting than refining pills.”

In the past three months, Xu Fan had finished all the weapon refinery jade slips. He went through them as if he was a novel addict.

Xu Fan stood up and stretched. His Level-4 Qi Refinement Stage body was actually unable to withstand the pressure of working so hard for the past three months.

When he walked out of the room, he saw that the sun was shining brightly in the afternoon.

“I’ll have a good rest before heading over to the Weapon Refinement Peak later.”

At this moment, the circular communication device in Xu Fan’s hand vibrated. He opened it and saw that it was the latest news from the Heavenly Imperial Sect.

“Firstly, the Heavenly Imperial Sect is about to open a batch of Qi Refinement Stage Mystic Realms. I hope that the brothers of the alliance can seize this opportunity (Mystic realms usually only open once every 50 years).”

“Secondly, our sect’s number one beauty, Murong Qian’er, has already become partners with a disciple of the A-Hall some time ago.”

“Thirdly, a Fusion Stage elder from the Illusionary Spirit Sect brought his disciples to pay their respects. Our alliance speculates that he might be here to rent the auxiliary battleships that accompany the Floating Sky Ship in our sect.”

“Fourthly, this year, the Alchemy Hall has taken in far more new disciples than in previous years. On the contrary, Weapon the Refinement Peak has only taken in a few disciples this year. From what I can see, the price of the most basic Dharma artifacts in the Qi Refinement Stage should increase. I hope that the brothers in the alliance will be prepared.”

“Fifthly, in three days, our sect’s strongest Qi Refinement Stage cultivator, Yun Shangfeng, will accept the challenge from the Illusionary Spirit Sect. A dealer will be present then, and we cannot miss this opportunity.”

“Sixthly, an insider has sent a message. The Floating Sky Ship that headed to the former territory of Japan has returned early. It seems to have brought back a lot.”

“Exchange Area: I wish to purchase a bottle of middle-grade Speed Spirit Pills for 1,500 Spirit Stones. I hope the brothers in the alliance will part with their goods.”

“I’m offering 200 Spirit Stones to learn from a brother who has mastered the Spiritual Rain Technique to a high level.”

“I’m looking to purchase one strand of Origin Snake Grass for 1,000 Spirit Stones.”

“I’m looking to purchase unused Foundation Establishment pills. Details will be discussed in a face-to-face meeting.”

“Personal Announcement Area: Zhao Shiyuan: Alchemy Senior Brothers in the Alliance. I have 20 bottles of Speed Spirit Pills with me. I only want one bottle of middle-grade Speed Spirit Pills or one high-grade Speed Spirit Pill.”

“Li Shihu: I’m looking to purchase a high-grade Body Tempering Pill.”

Xu Fan looked at the news in the communication artifact and slowly smiled. This was one of his greatest joys ever since he joined Pang Fu’s alliance and obtained this Dharma artifact. It was like reading the news every day in his previous life.

“Interesting. Could Murong Qian’er’s Dao partner be Yulun?”

Just as Xu Fan mentioned Wang Yulun, a ringtone sounded from the restriction.

After the restriction was opened, Wang Yulun brought an exquisite-looking young lady in.

The young lady was wearing a plain green dress. Her long hair reached her waist, showing off her youthful charm. She held onto Wang Yulun’s arm and revealed a blissful expression.

“Yulun, is this Senior Brother Xu really as powerful as you say?” The young woman asked curiously. She really couldn’t think of any cultivator of the same level who was more powerful than her lover in the outer sect.

“Of course, my achievements today are all thanks to Big Brother Xu,” said Wang Yu in admiration. Even if he were to enter the A-Hall now, he probably wouldn’t be able to last 25 minutes in a fight against Xu Fan.

“Qianqian, when you meet Big Brother Xu later, please speak nicely to him. I think that your matter will be a piece of cake to Big Brother Xu,” said Wang Yulun in a serious tone.

“Alright,” replied Murong Qian’er obediently.

“I still think Senior Sister Sha is pretty. The outer sect disciples are still too young and don’t understand the beauty of maturity.” Xu Fan retracted his gaze from the window and stood up to walk out of the room.

He had to personally welcome a new guest.

“Big Brother Xu, how have you been recently?” Wang Yulun smiled.

“Hello, Big Brother Xu.” Murong Qian’er greeted him, appearing very well-mannered.

“Hello, if I’m not wrong, you must be the number one beauty of the outer sect, Murong Qian’er,” said Xu Fan warmly.

“Big Brother Xu, do you already know about her?” Wang Yu looked at Xu Fan in shock.
