Cultivation System: Stronger with Age-Chapter 703 - 301: The Reward of Immortal Lord Luoshui, The Ambition of a Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifact_3
Hearing Lin Xuankong say this, the slight frown on Immortal Lord Luoshui’s face eased somewhat.
"Mr. Mu’s artifact refining methods are unparalleled. I’m afraid only you can help me forge forty-eight Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts in such a short span of twenty years!
Furthermore, as I mentioned earlier, Mr. Mu has dedicated time and effort to help me and to help the Central Divine Dynasty’s Western Region refine these Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts. Naturally, I, Yaan Mingyu, cannot let Mr. Mu’s efforts go unrewarded!
Now, Mr. Mu, you can tell me what kind of compensation you require for refining these artifacts!"
Compensation... I want to see the Luo Water Divine Diagram! Lin Xuankong secretly thought to himself.
However, he knew very well that the Luo Water Divine Diagram wasn’t considered a top secret by the Luo Water Immortal Sect. It had even been shared by the sect’s patriarch with some friendly Immortal Lords for joint study. But those old friendships could span tens of thousands of years!
Meeting Immortal Lord Luoshui Yaan Mingyu for the first time and immediately asking to view the most important Treasure of the Luo Water Immortal Sect would likely result in a refusal!
For a moment, Lin Xuankong hesitated.
Seeing Lin Xuankong’s silence, Immortal Lord Luoshui Yaan Mingyu smiled and said, "Mr. Mu, your refinement of Immortal Artifacts is crucial for the outcome of this Immortal Demon War in the Western Region. If you could truly refine forty-eight Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts, it might even bring significant hope of victory in this war. For such a contribution, no matter what kind of compensation you need, I will do my utmost to fulfill it!"
Hearing this, Lin Xuankong steeled his heart and spoke, "To be honest with you, Immortal Lord Luoshui, my main focus is Artifact Refining, but I also have some knowledge in the Way of Arrays. Unfortunately, I lack the companionship of truly skilled array formation experts and mentors! Now, meeting you, Immortal Lord Luoshui, who excels in Grand Array formations, makes Mu Shiba’s heart rejoice!
Therefore, Mu Shiba doesn’t need any compensation!
If Immortal Lord Luoshui is willing, just a bit of guidance on the Way of Arrays would make Mu Shiba perfectly content!"
After he finished speaking, Lin Xuankong looked up at Immortal Lord Luoshui Yaan Mingyu, a hint of expectation in his eyes.
However, this Immortal Lord Luoshui, with her picturesque brows and full head of silver hair, had just sincerely promised Lin Xuankong any kind of compensation. Upon hearing his request, she immediately furrowed her brows, and her expression turned serious.
Seeing this, Lin Xuankong felt a nervous jolt in his heart and thought secretly, It seems that learning the powerful array formations of the Luo Water Immortal Sect is indeed not something easy! The formations obtained by their patriarch through tremendous fortune are unlikely to be easily passed on to outsiders; I’ve been too naive!
As Lin Xuankong was hesitating, Immortal Lord Luoshui Yaan Mingyu, with a serious look on her pretty face, said in a solemn tone, "Mr. Mu, your talent, bloodline, fortune, achievements, and artifact refining methods are among the most outstanding I’ve encountered in nearly ten thousand years, and you are one of the most fortunate geniuses I have met.
"Since you can already refine Third-Grade Immortal Artifacts, it shows your talent in Artifact Refining far surpasses countless cultivators in the Central Divine Dynasty, possibly even surpassing any other Artifact Refiner. With such an extraordinary talent in Artifact Refining, you should naturally devote most of your efforts and focus to Cultivation and Artifact Refining!
"You must know that any proficiency in this world—be it Artifact Refining, Alchemy, Array Formation, raising Spiritual Beasts, or nurturing Spirit Plants—requires cultivators to spend a vast amount of time to constantly improve. Often, this can even affect their progress in Cultivation itself!
"Take myself as an example. Had I not spent so much time on array formations, I might have reached the Perfection Realm of the Ninth-Grade Earth Immortal at fifteen hundred years old. Despite this, I spent nearly eight thousand years studying the Way of Arrays. In the Way of Arrays, I’m still only at the beginning stage, barely able to set up the Third Layer of the Luo Water Grotto Heaven Array, just reaching the Array Realm of my Luo Water Immortal Sect’s patriarch!
"But to further advance my proficiency in array formations to the next level and arrange the Fourth Layer of the Luo Water Grotto Heaven Array, I estimate it would require at least another ten thousand years of secluded cultivation!
"This is with me having a bit of Array Formation Talent and dedicating ninety-nine percent of my time to studying the Way of Arrays!
"Never mind myself; even looking across the entire Immortal Realm, there isn’t a single Artifact Refiner who could also master other techniques!
"As far as I know, among the countless cultivators in the entire Immortal Realm, there isn’t a single Artifact Refiner capable of refining Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts who has also studied Alchemy to the Immortal Tier. Similarly, there’s no Alchemy Master who can produce an Immortal Ascension Treasure Pill and also refine Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts. In the same way, the Immortal Realm has never seen an Artifact Refining Master who is also an Array Master!"
Speaking to this point, her expression gradually softened, and she continued in a heartfelt tone, "Mr. Mu, with such extraordinary talent in Artifact Refining, if you could calm your heart and devote yourself entirely to the Refining Technique, that would be the right path!
"If we can withstand the assault of the Profound Yin Demon Sect in this Immortal Demon War, and everyone can continue their peaceful Cultivation, there’s a chance that in a few thousand years, with your astonishing talent, Mr. Mu, you could create a Fourth-Grade Immortal Artifact. That would be a rarity in the entire Immortal Realm!"
