Chapter 143: The First Shot of Refining

Chapter 143: First Shot at Artifact Refining

A group of True Immortal Cultivators engaged in lively discussions.

They chatted from the Chaos Continent to various Immortal Realms, and from various Immortal Realms, they talked about the Jian Sea Area.

Occasionally, a True Immortal Cultivator would even discuss his Cultivation insights.

The Cultivators sat and discussed the Dao, and the atmosphere was very lively.

Zhang Yuhe sat to the side, listening silently, occasionally responding.

A few days later.

Liu Haitao, who was hosting the gathering, stood up and said,

"Thank you, Fellow Daoists, for sharing your experiences. Now, let's begin the trade fair."

After speaking, he waved his right hand.

Several items appeared before everyone's eyes.

Among them were two Low Grade Immortal Artifacts: an Immortal Sword and an Immortal Artifact Spear.

There were also some Immortal Materials and Spirit Medicine.

Seeing the items Liu Haitao displayed, many people present were very interested.

They all privately communicated with Liu Haitao through spiritual messages.

Soon, the two Immortal Artifacts were traded away.

Low Grade Immortal Artifacts were the main means of combat for True Immortal Cultivators.

A suitable Immortal Artifact could allow a True Immortal to exert greater power.

Therefore, Immortal Artifacts had always been sought-after goods.

Liu Haitao was able to produce two finished Immortal Artifacts at once for trade.

This showed that his wealth was abundant, incomparable to ordinary people.

He was indeed a Disciple of the Nine Immortals Sect.

After Liu Haitao, others displayed their trade items in turn.

Some brought out Immortal Grade Ore, while others brought out Immortal Grade Spirit Medicine.

Some even brought out Cultivation Techniques and Divine Abilities for trade.

One True Immortal Cultivator brought out an Opening Aperture Secret Technique.

Although it was a secret technique that could only open three apertures, it was quickly exchanged by another Loose Cultivator present.

Zhang Yuhe sat to the side, only able to watch quietly.

Because he was now a truly poor man.

Apart from a set of Lifebound Treasures, which were Low Grade Immortal Artifacts.

He had nothing else valuable on him.

Of course, the Opening Aperture Secret Technique didn't count.

If he dared to trade the Chaos Opening Aperture Secret Technique, he would probably disappear in minutes.

That thing could only rot in his stomach; it was impossible to tell anyone else.

The trade fair continued to its end.

He Xingfa suddenly stood up and asked Liu Haitao,

"Is your esteemed Sect's Fellow Daoist He currently in the Market? I would like to ask him to help refine an Immortal Artifact."

The Fellow Daoist He he spoke of was He Zhongming of the Nine Immortals Sect.

This person was an Immortal Grade Artifact Refiner and was very famous in the Market.

It was said that those who sought him to refine Immortal Artifacts had already queued up for thousands of years.

Artifact Refiners were still very popular in the Immortal Realm.

In fact, any True Immortal Cultivator.

As long as he could master an Immortal Grade skill, he basically wouldn't have to worry about Cultivation resources.

"Senior Brother He is not in the Market at the moment. He has already returned to the Sect for secluded Cultivation. I heard he won't be taking on any more Artifact Refining recently."

Hearing Liu Haitao's reply, He Xingfa's face showed a disappointed expression.

With his wealth, he could naturally afford ordinary finished Immortal Artifacts.

But after forming his Immortal Body.

He Xingfa wanted to specifically refine an Immortal Artifact to better exert the power of his Immortal Body.

For this, he had even specially collected Artifact Refining Materials.

Unfortunately, he had not found a suitable Immortal Artifact Refiner.

Although there were quite a few Immortal Artifact Refiners in the Market.

However, these people either had too low a success rate or had a bad reputation.

He Xingfa didn't trust these people, and he had only collected one set of Artifact Refining Materials.

If the refining failed, it would all be for naught.

Immortal Artifact Refiners would not compensate for failed refining.

Just as he was feeling dejected, a voice entered his ears.

"If Senior Brother He trusts this junior, you can come find me later."

Hearing the spiritual message, He Xingfa couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. He glanced at Zhang Yuhe.

He tried to ask via spiritual message,

"Is Junior Brother Zhang also an Immortal Artifact Refiner?"

"Yes, let's discuss it in detail later."

"Alright."

…

The gathering ended, and everyone departed.

Not long after Zhang Yuhe returned to his residence.

He Xingfa quickly came to find him.

He cupped his hands towards Zhang Yuhe and said,

"I didn't expect Junior Brother Zhang to also be an Immortal Artifact Refiner. Please forgive my lack of discernment."

"Senior Brother He is too polite. May I ask what type of Immortal Artifact Senior Brother He wishes to refine?"

There were many types of Immortal Artifacts.

Ordinary sword, saber, and spear types were common and relatively easy to refine successfully.

There were also some special Immortal Artifacts.

For example, enemy-trapping Immortal Artifacts, heavy-duty Immortal Artifacts, and even complete sets of Immortal Artifacts.

The difficulty of refining these Immortal Artifacts.

Relatively speaking, was much higher.

He Xingfa looked at Zhang Yuhe, his expression slightly hesitant, and said,

"I want to refine a heavy-duty Immortal Artifact to use with my Immortal Body."

"But I only have one set of Materials. Does Senior Brother Zhang have confidence?"

"As for the Artifact Refining remuneration, I will certainly satisfy Senior Brother Zhang."

He knew nothing about Zhang Yuhe, and if it weren't for Xie Mingyuan bringing him.

He wouldn't have come to his door at all.

Among Immortal Artifact Refiners and Immortal Pill Masters, there were indeed many who scammed people.

Some people clearly had no confidence themselves, yet they made full promises.

Using others' Materials for practice.

Finally, they'd say the refining failed and dismiss the person.

Therefore, unless it was an Immortal Artifact Refiner with deep connections or an excellent reputation.

Ordinary people were generally reluctant to seek out other Immortal Artifact Refiners.

Zhang Yuhe was brought by Xie Mingyuan, and Xie Mingyuan had an excellent reputation in the Jian Sea Area.

He Xingfa couldn't find a reliable Immortal Artifact Refiner for the time being, which was why he came to inquire.

Zhang Yuhe pondered for a while.

He never worried about the success rate.

Since his first contact with Artifact Refining, he had never failed.

The only problem now was how to make He Xingfa believe him.

He thought for a long time before slowly saying,

"If I say I can guarantee 100% success, Senior Brother He certainly won't believe it."

"However, we can sign a contract. If the refining fails, I will take no money and compensate Senior Brother He with half of the Material cost. How about that?"

"Good, then it's settled."

Zhang Yuhe's condition could be said to be extremely advantageous.

He Xingfa did not hesitate at all.

He immediately took out a contract, and both parties left their marks on it, so neither feared the other backing out.

After the contract was signed, He Xingfa handed over a Storage Ring and said,

"Here are the Immortal Artifact Materials. I want a heavy-duty long staff Immortal Artifact, or a heavy hammer would also work."

"No problem, Senior Brother He can come collect it in half a year."

Zhang Yuhe took the Storage Ring and nodded in response.

After He Xingfa left.

Zhang Yuhe quickly went to the Artifact Refining Room.

This was his first shot in the Jianfang Market.

He couldn't be careless.

According to He Xingfa's needs, Zhang Yuhe quickly planned the form of the Immortal Artifact.

He intended to use the Nine Heavens Flying Spirit Staff as a blueprint to refine a long staff-shaped Low Grade Immortal Artifact.

As the Materials were put into the Refining Cauldron.

Zhang Yuhe silently observed the changes in the Cauldron while slowly Cultivating.

After becoming a True Immortal, Cultivation progress was extremely slow.

Zhang Yuhe roughly estimated.

Even with his Heaven-Defying Aptitude, to Cultivate to the Middle Stage of True Immortal.

It might take several thousand, or even tens of thousands of years.

If he could open three apertures in advance, his Cultivation speed should be faster.

However, it would still likely take four or five thousand years to Breakthrough to the Middle Stage of True Immortal.

This kind of Cultivation speed could be said to be extremely fast.

One should know that Xie Mingyuan took two hundred thousand years to Breakthrough to the Late Stage of True Immortal.

Even so, he could be considered a peerless Genius in the Jian Sea Area.

But Zhang Yuhe still felt it was too slow.

He was used to rocket-speed Cultivation in Yu Fan Heaven.

Now that it had suddenly slowed down, he felt extremely unaccustomed.

However, Immortal Cultivation was just like this.

Let's take it slow.
