Capítulo 1535: Chapter 830: The Great Grandmaster Emerges

“Certainly, certainly!”

Following a quick round of greetings, the trio shifted to the serious matters at hand.

Fire Dragon Taoist spoke first, “Lately, Elder Ku Rong mentioned to me that Brother Shaoling excels as a Refining Master. I wish to upgrade my Lifebound Spiritual Treasure, thus I’ve come to you, Taoist friend, hoping for your assistance. Should it work out, I vow to compensate you generously.”

“I’m curious about the kind of Magical Treasure that Fire Dragon Taoist favors. What exactly is your Lifebound Magic Treasure? Could I examine it initially?” Zhao Sheng asked.

“Naturally.”

With those words, Fire Dragon Taoist parted his lips, abruptly expelling a streak of crimson glow.

The crimson glow darted forth and instantly morphed into a spear as thick as a forearm, fully scarlet like fresh blood, etched with fiery motifs, its sharp point gleaming while sporadically unleashing flares of True Flame.

After a close inspection, Zhao Sheng smacked his palms together in admiration, “Such an impressive spear, capable of scorching rivers and seething oceans! This weapon holds strong spirituality, and it seems to have hit the peak of top-grade magic treasure status. Down the line, it boasts a thirty percent likelihood of evolving into a Spiritual Treasure.”

Upon hearing this, Fire Dragon Taoist shook his head with a wry grin, “My Fire Dragon Spear has accompanied me for close to two millennia, practically an extension of myself! Regrettably, its foundational materials limit it, so the Fire Dragon Spear has yet to ignite Wisdom Light. Absent a rare fortune, advancing to Spiritual Treasure status remains out of reach.

That’s why I’m counting on you, Taoist friend, to forge a Spirit Treasure-grade Fire Dragon Spear mirroring the original design. I’ve secured a chunk of Red Refining Divine Iron Ore, sufficient for crafting two Divine Weapons. Please take a look.”

As he spoke, Fire Dragon Taoist turned his palm over, revealing a lump of ore as tall as half a person, shimmering in golden and red tones, now cradled in his grasp.

The moment this ore materialized, it unleashed intense scorching waves, flooding the parlor with surging heat currents that rapidly elevated the room’s temperature.

Zhao Sheng extended his hand to seize the Red Refining Divine Iron Ore, scrutinizing it meticulously as he dispatched his Divine Thought to fully encompass the mineral.

Soon enough, he gave a subtle nod, a grin forming on his face, “Impressive weight to it! This ought to suffice for forging a Fire Dragon Spear. I’ll take on this task.”

In his prior existence, he had once possessed a “Fire Dragon Spear” as well, surpassing the current one in quality and firmly classified as a Spiritual Treasure.

Drawing from the “Fire Dragon Spear” of his past life for guidance, crafting a fresh version proves far from challenging.

Naturally, even lacking such a model, Zhao Sheng would have accepted without qualms, since his goal was undoubtedly to build his fame.

Fire Dragon Taoist beamed with delight and couldn’t resist inquiring, “Is that so?! Are you aware of the complexities in refining a Spiritual Treasure, particularly given my rigorous demands: first, preserving the original Divine Skill of the Fire Dragon Spear intact, second, ensuring seamless compatibility with my Cultivation Technique, thirdly… ”

This individual listed off seven or eight stipulations, truly quite exacting.

Zhao Sheng heard him out calmly, then consented to every single one without pause.

Yet, he put forward a minor condition of his own: to thoroughly probe Fire Dragon Taoist’s mana and Divine Thought traits, using them as the basis to tailor a bespoke Spiritual Treasure Fire Dragon Spear.

Through this method, however, Fire Dragon Taoist’s innermost workings would essentially lie bare to Zhao Sheng.

Fire Dragon Taoist fully grasped the implications, so he paused in deep thought for an extended period before finally offering a grave nod of assent.

Observing this, Zhao Sheng dropped the topic, striding ahead to rest his right hand upon Fire Dragon Taoist’s right shoulder, then abruptly infusing a thread of mana via his palm into the shoulder acupoint, racing through the entire form in a flash.

In short order, Zhao Sheng quietly pulled back his right hand, signaling Fire Dragon Taoist to trail him into the Artifact Refining Room.

Ku Rong Ancestor witnessed the proceedings and rose at once to take his leave.

Zhao Sheng saw no reason to urge him to stay. Once he escorted Ku Rong Ancestor from the cave mansion, he hastily led Fire Dragon Taoist into the Artifact Refining Room.

Three months passed, when abruptly a resounding dragon roar shattered the cave mansion’s barriers, racing outward to echo across the entire Qunxian Residence, alarming innumerable cultivators.
