<h4>Chapter 128 Myriad Treasure Refining Tome</h4>
Ming Yuexin heard the story and she was surprised. " Ahh, So Qinglian already left for the Azure Fragrance City, huh?"
" Sister Ming, If we hurry up now, Will we be able to catch up to her?" Long Ming asked.
" I don''t think so." Ming Yuexin pondered. " She already left hours ago. It was unknown if she took a treasured boat or chose to fly over there directly."
" And even she took the flying boats, it was unknown which route she had taken." She sighed. " So, the only way to meet her is to get to Azure Fragrance City."
Long Ming looked at the sky as he sighed. Although he could use his Temporal Fate Simtion to gauge where Mu Qinglian is currently at. But then, he felt it would be better to give her some time to adjust herself.
'' Hmm, This time, when I meet her, I will ask about her true intentions.'' Long Ming mumbled.
" Well, Sister Ming, Last time, We weren''t able to enjoy the ride in a flying boat. How about we enjoy this one?" Long Ming grinned as he looked at Ming Yuexin.
" Ah, sure. Why not?" Ming Yuexin smiled back. " Grand Elder said that she will lead the disciples to the Azure Fragrance City after a few days. So, It''s just you and me now…"
Saying that, her cheeks turned slightly pink. Long Ming nodded. " Well, It''s a good thing that we are departing early, I didn''t have a chance to explore around."
" Hehe, It''s fine, Brother Long." Ming Yuexin smiled brightly. " I am sure both of us going to have a lot of fun."
As both of them decided, they soon went to the Grand Sky City to catch a flying boat. Time time, Long Ming didn''t hesitate to get the tickets for a luxury flying boat. Each of the ticket costs surpassed 100,000 High grade Spirit Stones.
However, Thanks to the amount of Spirit Stones Long Ming still got from the treasury of ck Pearl City, he wasvishly rich. Not to mention, the financial condition of Four Seasons Valley is increasing thanks to the mines they won from the bet with Blissful Heaven Temple and the Deep Sea Iron from ck Pearl City.
The flying boat truly looked like a flying cruise ship, with all sorts of luxury avable on it. Since the Imperial Tournament was going to begin, this flying boat was sought after by many aristocrats.
Long Ming and Ming Yuexin got two Royal ss rooms, with adequate facilities like a home, a refinement room, and a Qi Gathering Formation for cultivation.
Soon, the flying boat took off as it soared across the sky. It was moving at a moderate pace, giving the passenger a great view of the surroundings. Ming Yuexin and Long Ming walked on the deck as they looked at the surroundings.
" In the past, Our sect also used to have such flying boats. But we needed to sell them for some immediate resources. Now, since our financial condition is good, I wonder if Sect Master will bring back those?" Ming Yuexin sighed.
" Before we reach Azure Fragrance City, we are going to stop at the Red Stone City for sightseeing." Long Ming became amused. "? Sister Ming, do you know about Red Stone City?"
" Red Stone City is famous for a scenic spot called the Sunshine Lake." Ming Yuexin spoke. " ording to the folklore, It is said that during the Ancient Awakening Era, a part of the sun fell here, making a giganticke of mes. But, as time passed, it turned into a beautifulke."
" So, Are there any hidden treasures in Sunshine Lake?" Long Ming became interested. Ming Yuexin grinned. " Even if there used to be, it would have taken away tens of thousands of years ago."
" Currently, it''s a beautiful scenic spot where you can watch sunrise and sunset." Ming Yuexing looked at the fleeting scenery as she spoke. " However, It''s said that Sunshine Lake is useful for Fire attribute cultivators."
" Is that so?" Long Ming nodded. " Maybe, It will be useful for your Scorching Summer Imperial Technique."
" Well, Now you mentioned it, How about we have a spar, Brother Long?" Ming Yuexin''s eyes shed with apetitive spirit.
" Let''s reach the Red Stone City first." Long Mingughed. " Alright, I need to have some rest now. My body is still aching from the beating of Sister Mu."
" Well, I shall enjoy the scenery here a bit more." Ming Yuexin nodded.
When Long Ming entered his room, he sat on the bed as he opened his inventory. He got a Star tinum Grade Skill, Myriad Treasure Refining Tome.
And now, he is going to practice it.
Refining treasures, many would think about cksmithing when they hear this term. However, even without using mes and a hammer, one can still refine the treasure.
However, such an unconventional way is much harder to learn than traditional cksmithing. But as a benefit, the practitioner can truly create any treasure as he wishes.
To be a true treasure refiner, one needs to have talent in three things. First, an extensive knowledge regarding materials. Second, knowledge regarding runes and inscriptions. Lastly, proficient in Spiritual Qi and refinement.
In fact, Spiritual Qi ys a vital role in refining treasures than True Qi. Be it controlling the refinement or inscribing runes, an abundant amount of Spiritual Qi is necessary.
For a cultivator, gaining Spiritual Qi is ten times harder than gaining True Qi. The recovery of the Spiritual Qi of the soul takes more time than the recovery of True Qi in the divine sea.
And most medicinal pills, treasures, or techniques regarding soul or spiritual qi is much rarer than cultivation techniques or physique refining technique.
'' Hmm, A cultivator can refine a natal weapon once they reach the Nine Transformations of Soul Realm. Such natal weapons are what makes the difference between Acquired and Innate type weapons.'' Long Ming pondered.
For example, In terms of power, a Noble grade weapon is actually suitable for a Harmonization Realm Cultivator. But that doesn''t mean cultivators of the lower realm can''t use it at all. The only difference is the output of power will be less than the Harmonization Realm Cultivator.
A newly forged weapon of Noble grade would easily lose to a Noble grade natal weapon refined by a Nine Transformation of Soul Realm cultivator.? That''s why ancient Innate type weapons were more sought after than new, Acquired type weapons.
However, given time, a cultivator can refine those Acquired type weapons into Innate types as long as they reach a higher cultivation realm.
But then, for most cultivators, Why have a weak weapon and level it up, instead of having a max level weapon from the start?
However, there is a fatal w in this method.
'' Cultivation is something that one should solely rely on themselves. No matter how powerful, the resources of others could never be truly yours. The same condition applies to the weapon too.''
'' You can use a powerful weapon which is refined by others. But it could never match the power of the same grade weapon that you have carried along with you throughout your journey.''
Long Ming understood the essence of Myriad Treasure Refining Art as his heavenlyprehension already started to digest it.
He made a wonderful discovery, that he can refine his natal weapon even right now, even before reaching the Nine Transformation of Soul Realm. All thanks to this new skill.
'' There are so many types of refinement techniques recorded here. For example, Treasure Inscription Technique, me and Lightning Refining Technique, Blood and Spirit Refining Technique…'' Long Ming became excited.
Since he had enough time, he took out some material from his spatial bracelet and put it in front of him.
His Scarlet Yang Qi zed as Long Ming slowly transformed it into a lump of crimson me. Condensing it, the temperature of the me rose sharply.
" Oceanside Steel, Deep Sea Iron, and Azure Bronze…" Long Ming''s spiritual qi swirled as the metal ores floated up and started to get smelt in the crimson mes.
Long Ming activated the formations in the refinement room, to help him to refine weapons. The crimson me burned the ores at high temperatures, burning away their impurities and extracting the essence of the ores.
Long Ming''s spiritual qipressed the essence together, tempering the metal billet with spiritual qi and mes. Slowly, it took the shape of a dagger.
Long Ming pulled out his Treasured Jade Brush, the spiritual qi concentrated on the nib as he started to inscribe runes on it.
His Heavenly Revtion Eyes increased his precision and Temporal Fate Simtion showed him the potential chances of failure. With both of them, Long Ming''s refinement of the dagger became faster and more precise.
It took two hours as a dazzling dagger appeared in front of Long Ming.
'' Haha, As expected of the protagonist.'' Long Ming grinned as he flicked his hair. '' I am truly an all rounder. This dagger can easily be a powerful Xuan grade weapon. With a bit more, it could even reach Mystic grade.''
Long Ming was ted with his result as he stepped out. He decided to show it to Ming Yuexin.
But when he arrived on the deck, his eyes narrowed when he saw amotion.
Ming Yuexin was quarreling with someone. It was none other than Liu Ye.
