"No fees will be charged!"
The usually stern and unsmiling Second Madam was unusually agitated at this moment.
For weapon refiners, nothing is more exciting than personally crafting a fourth-tier spiritual weapon, except for breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.
As the saying goes, once there is one, there will be two.
Once you forge a magical weapon, even if it's made from the easiest materials, the improvement it brings to yourself is unimaginable.
This will lay a solid foundation for forging a second magical weapon in the future.
He might even have a sudden enlightenment on the spot and break through to the fourth-tier low-grade weapon refining master in one fell swoop!
The Sea-Stabilizing Divine Iron is the easiest material to refine into a fourth-order spiritual weapon.
This is also why the Second and Third Supreme Beings were so crazy.
After hearing what the Second Elder said, Zhang Xuanchen pondered for a while.
He said, "An 80% chance is not low."
But it did not meet my requirements.
After all, the Dinghai Divine Iron is a rare find, occurring only once every thousand years.
If the refining fails, the item will be scrapped.
It's simply impossible to forge an ideal magical weapon for the Great Sage.
Even with the information about a celestial connection, Zhang Xuanchen couldn't guarantee that he would encounter the Dinghai Divine Iron, such an excellent material for refining weapons, again.
We must be cautious.
If all else fails, Zhang Xuan would likely choose to forge a top-grade third-tier magic weapon for the Great Sage first.
With the inheritance of the Xuanlong Venerable and the treasure vault of the Azure Sea Immortal Sect, he was not lacking in high-level refining materials at this time.
Otherwise, the idea of refining a third-tier flying boat would not have been proposed by the family.
The Second Elder understood the meaning behind Zhang Xuanchen's words.
Suppressing his excitement, he asked:
"I wonder how certain it will be for Patriarch Zhang to entrust this Sea-Stabilizing Divine Iron to my Heavenly Crafting Pavilion for refining?"
Robbery?
He dare not.
He feared that if True Lord Qingming descended, he would slaughter the entire Heavenly Craft Pavilion.
A foundation built over ten thousand years was destroyed in an instant.
Upon hearing the question, Zhang Xuanchen's lips curled into a smile:
"98%"
"If I'm confident in this, I'll entrust the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Iron to the Heavenly Crafting Pavilion for forging."
"What! Ninety-eight percent?" The Second Elder looked at Zhang Xuanchen in disbelief.
I never expected his requirements to be so high.
With a 98% certainty, doesn't that mean they have to succeed in refining it?
"Can't do it? Then forget it. To be honest, my Zhang family has some connections with the Flying Feather Immortal Sect."
"I believe that the fourth-tier weapon-refining masters in the Flying Feather Immortal Sect can definitely do it." With that, Zhang Xuanchen slowly walked forward.
They wanted to take the Sea-Stabilizing Iron.
"slow!"
Just as Zhang Xuanchen was about to put the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Iron into the Myriad Spirits Ring.
A majestic female voice rang out in the hall.
Immediately afterwards, a beautiful woman dressed in a phoenix-patterned Taoist robe appeared silently in the main hall.
The beautiful woman's aura was restrained, revealing not a trace of emotion.
On the surface, she looks no different from an ordinary woman.
"We have met the Grand Elder!"
Upon seeing the newcomers, the two elders and others respectfully bowed.
Zhang Xuanchen and the others naturally did not neglect this matter.
Those who are strong should be treated with due respect.
Xuanjing's voice also rang in Zhang Xuanchen's mind at this moment:
"Brother Chen, this man is dying."
Although she doesn't look old, she's surrounded by signs of aging.
With lifespan nearing its end, if there are no rare and precious materials to extend lifespan...
He will surely die within ten years.
Hearing this, Zhang Xuanchen's expression remained unchanged.
The Heavenly Craft Pavilion had nothing to do with him.
The Grand Elder waved his hand and said, "No need for formalities."
Then he turned his gaze to Zhang Xuanchen.
He chuckled softly and said:
"Patriarch Zhang, in the art of weapon forging, no one can guarantee their success."
Even a fourth-tier weapon-refining master can make mistakes when refining a third-tier magic weapon.
But I assure you.
The Heavenly Crafts Pavilion will do its utmost to refine this Ruyi Jingu Bang (Golden Cudgel).
If we fail, my Heavenly Craft Pavilion is willing to compensate Fellow Daoist Monkey with a top-grade third-tier staff-type magic weapon.
At the same time, all the magical artifacts you wish to craft today will be free of crafting fees.
how is it?
I can guarantee that the conditions you set will not be promised to you by the Grandmaster of Weapon Forging of the Flying Feather Immortal Sect.
Because in his eyes, it is already an honor for you to be able to forge spiritual weapons for you.
The failure to refine it was due to the inevitability of the time, not his fault.
As a weapon refiner, she knew the temperament of weapon refiners very well.
Especially high-level weapon refiners.
Hearing this, Zhang Xuanchen nodded slightly.
He said, "Okay."
If the Grand Master offers such conditions, how can I refuse?
That would be incredibly ungrateful.
You can give the Ruyi Jingu Bang to the Tiangong Pavilion to refine it.
However, I have one condition.
Tell me about it.
"I want you to work with the Second and Third Grand Masters to refine it."
As far as I know, the Heavenly Craft Pavilion has a secret technique that can be used to perform combined refining.
"It can improve refining efficiency and success rate." Zhang Xuanchen spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, recounting the information he had gathered before coming to the Heavenly Craft Pavilion.
As the First Empress Dowager pondered, the Second Empress Dowager spoke first: "No!"
"The Grand Elder's lifespan is nearing its end; he should no longer attempt to refine weapons."
Patriarch Zhang…”
His aged eyes held a mixture of inferiority and a deep-seated love.
He never spoke of this feeling for over six hundred years.
Because he knew that his senior sister had someone she deeply loved.
But that doesn't stop him from liking her.
So I don't want her to die.
"Yu'an." Before the Second Empress Dowager could finish speaking, the First Empress Dowager waved her hand to interrupt her:
"Humans are one with the universe, and thus share the same fate as all other creatures."
"Having entered the path of cultivation, one should see through the meaning of life, which is nothing more than a fleeting cloud."
In life, they absorb the essence of the sun and moon; in death, they scatter into stars and gentle breezes.
What sorrow is there?
Plants wither and flourish in their own time; the beginning and end of the immortal and the mortal are both part of the Great Dao.
Those who do not attain immortality are not exempt from the cycle of birth and death.
"After this weapon forging, I will attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul realm."
I would have no regrets even if I died.
Junior Brother Yu'an, the heavy responsibility of protecting the sect will fall on your shoulders then.
But you're getting old too.
I'm afraid they won't be able to hold out for many more years.
"For our sect to endure forever, we must rely on those vibrant young people."
"Xue Li, you must remember to always maintain a clean and upright family tradition."
We attach great importance to cultivating the next generation of disciples.
They are the hope and the future of the sect.
Those who have reached the half-step Nascent Soul stage face an extremely high chance of death if they attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
She knew that this breakthrough would most likely result in her death.
I might as well take what I say now as my last words.
She does not regret her decision today.
If she delays for a few more years, even the power to maintain her appearance will dissipate, making it impossible for her to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
At least for now, there is still a glimmer of hope.
Upon hearing the words of the Supreme Elder, Xue Li's eyes reddened slightly.
He nodded heavily.
"I will remember the words of the Supreme Lord!"
He will definitely prioritize training younger generations of disciples!
"We will not fail the trust placed in us by the Great Empress Dowager!"
The Second Elder looked at the First Elder's captivating face, opened her mouth as if to say something persuading, but the words that came out changed:
"Junior Brother is far inferior to Senior Sister Li in terms of her carefree spirit."
I don't think there's any need to be so pessimistic. With your talent and mindset, Senior Sister, you might very well be able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
He knew that no matter what he said at this moment, he couldn't stop Li Jinmian.
It's better not to say anything.
I would be content if I could simply spend some time with her during the time I was refining the magical artifact.
If it weren't for that person, he was confident that Li Jinmian would break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
But there are no "what ifs" in this world.
If Li Jinmian cannot overcome that hurdle.
The moment her inner demons manifested was the moment of her demise.
