Chapter 1499: Chapter 1497: Crafting the Diamond Ring (Fourth Update)

“This… no problem, no problem!”

The ancestor hastily shook his head and said, given the current situation, if they didn’t agree, they would face destruction, so they had no choice but to swear allegiance to Xiao Yifeng.

In the council hall of the Refining Equipment Sect, Xiao Yifeng sat in the chief’s seat, with the Refining Sect Ancestor beside him, followed by Chen Hao, a group of elders of the Refining Equipment Sect, and those who were decent artifact refiners.

“How many artifact refiners does the Refining Equipment Sect have now?”

Xiao Yifeng asked.

“Currently, the Refining Equipment Sect has twenty-eight first-level artifact refiners, twelve second-level artifact refiners, and including me and the elders, a total of seven third-level artifact refiners. As for fourth-level artifact refiners, only the ancestor is at that level.”

Chen Hao said.

Just like array masters and alchemists, artifact refiners are also divided into levels one through nine.

“What level of weapons can you craft?”

Xiao Yifeng asked again.

“I and a few elders can craft top-grade Spiritual Artifacts, and if the ancestor has sufficient materials, there’s a strong probability of crafting either inferior or middle-grade Precious Artifacts!”

Chen Hao said.

“This artifact crafting level is too low!”

Long Qian said directly.

“Low?”

Xiao Yifeng curled his lips; he didn’t understand much about artifact refining.

“Low. In the Ancient Realm, a fourth-level artifact refiner can at least craft a superior grade Precious Artifact or even a supreme quality Precious Artifact. But this fourth-level refiner can only produce inferior or middle-grade Precious Artifacts, and that’s not always guaranteed. Isn’t that considered low?”

Long Qian said.

“This is the Kunlun Realm; it can’t be compared to the Ancient Realm!”

Xiao Yifeng lightly smiled, looking at the group as he brought out the Starry Sky Stones.

“These… these are Starry Sky Stones!”

Seeing this pile of Starry Sky Stones, everyone present was momentarily stunned, with the Refining Sect Ancestor being the first to react, his face showing a look of shock.

“You have a keen eye. Yes, these are the Starry Sky Stones that can enhance the level of artifact refining!”

Xiao Yifeng said.

“When I was young, my master obtained a piece of Starry Sky Stone and used it to craft an inferior King’s Weapon. That was the first time I saw a Starry Sky Stone. I never expected that after so many years, I would see Starry Sky Stones again, and in such large quantities!”

The Refining Sect Ancestor exclaimed, his face filled with astonishment.

“Take these Starry Sky Stones and use them to craft a batch of weapons. Whether they are Spiritual Artifacts or Precious Artifacts, I want the best. The reason for subduing your sect is to craft weapons for me. If you cannot accomplish this, then you have no value in existence.”

Xiao Yifeng stated directly.

“Rest assured, we will not disappoint you. In my lifetime, being able to use Starry Sky Stones to craft a weapon, I would have no regrets even in death!”

The ancestor said calmly.

“And this!”

Xiao Yifeng took out some Starry Sky Jade Stones again.

“Are these also Starry Sky Stones?”

Looking at the Starry Sky Jade Stones, the Refining Sect Ancestor asked in surprise.

“These are Starry Sky Jade Stones. I want you to refine them into rings!”

Xiao Yifeng instructed.

“Starry Sky Jade Stones?”

Chen Hao and others showed confused expressions, clearly having never heard of Starry Sky Jade Stones.

“Kid, these Starry Sky Jade Stones are incredibly tough. Their internal fire is simply incapable of melting them, let alone refining them into the rings you want.”

Long Qian said directly.

“Then what should I do?”

Xiao Yifeng frowned. He had planned to have these people refine the Starry Sky Jade Stones into rings to give to his women.

“Unless you personally use the Crimson Earthfire to completely melt these Starry Sky Jade Stones, and then let them refine them into the rings you want. Given the material of these Starry Sky Jade Stones, the rings would at least be of superior grade Precious Artifact quality, so they could protect your women in case of danger.”

Long Qian mentioned.

“Hmm, that’s exactly what I was thinking!”

Xiao Yifeng nodded, what Long Qian said was exactly in line with his thoughts.

He estimated that it would not be long before he had to head to the Ancient Realm, and it was impossible for all his women to go with him, so he had to protect their safety in every possible way, ensuring they would be safe after he left.

“Oh yeah, there’s still a flame deep within the Refining Equipment Sect you should absorb; it could further enhance your Crimson Earthfire!”

Long Qian suddenly said.

“Is there an unevolved flame deep in your Refining Equipment Sect?”

Xiao Yifeng asked, looking at the Refining Sect Ancestor.

“Sir, it’s unexpected that you know this. Yes, in our Refining Equipment Sect, there is indeed a flame left by my master years ago, said to be very powerful.”

“Back in the day, my master relied on this flame and a piece of Starry Sky Stone to craft a King’s Weapon. After his passing, this flame was left in the sect, but no one has been able to master it since.”

The Refining Sect Ancestor explained.

“Take me to see it!”

Xiao Yifeng said, and then he went to the depths of the Refining Equipment Sect, seeing a white flame that looked immensely powerful.

The Refining Sect Ancestor was shocked to hear that Xiao Yifeng wanted to absorb the flame.

“Sir, this flame is difficult to control even for experts at the Spirit Severing level. My master, with his fivefold Spirit Severing strength, nearly died mastering it!”

The ancestor cautioned hurriedly.

“Don’t worry, it’s fine!”

Xiao Yifeng shook his head, and then he began to absorb the white flame.

The white flame, though powerful, stood no chance against Xiao Yifeng’s Crimson Earthfire and was completely devoured in less than ten minutes.

Xiao Yifeng then perfectly fused the flame with the Crimson Earthfire. During this process, his physical body power increased again, starting to push towards the third layer of the Gathering Elixir Realm.

Boom!

Half an hour later, the Crimson Earthfire flawlessly merged with the white flame, a terrifying aura burst forth, and a searing hot flame blazed over Xiao Yifeng’s body.

His physical body also gained an opportunity for enhancement, increasing the physical body power by dozens of times, although it did not break through to the third layer of the Gathering Elixir Realm, being just a hair’s breadth away.

After his physical body entered the Gathering Elixir Realm, each level-up required immense cost and enormous energy, no longer as easy as before to grow stronger.

Now, if Xiao Yifeng wants to enhance his physical strength, he needs to absorb more powerful energy to temper his body for further enhancement.

With the successful union of this flame with the Crimson Earthfire, its power drastically enhanced, now capable of easily defeating even a Spirit Severing fivefold expert.

After merging the flame, Xiao Yifeng began discussing with the Refining sect members about refining Starry Sky Jade Stones into the rings he intended to gift his women.
