Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 1544 - 682: Squandering Precious Materials (Part 2)

In this Absolute Spirit Mini World, there are people who can refine elixirs, yet how easy is it to find the various spirit medicines and spiritual materials needed for refining Immortal Ascension Treasure Pills? Unless a cultivator uses their own blood and True Qi, nurturing certain herbs daily, and spends hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years, only then might they cultivate the herbs necessary for Immortal Ascension Treasure Pills—and this scenario is almost impossible!

In other words, even within the so-called Six Paths Celestial Court of the Star River First Immortal Sect, it is extremely difficult to see a true Earth Immortal emerge, even though there may be thousands upon tens of thousands of so-called Tier Nine Immortal Venerables.

At this moment,

while the many cultivators sighed,

Ding Ye, in the distance, started to vigorously mobilize his somewhat sluggish True Qi,

to face Jin Ming’s Golden Light Small Sword from the Six Paths Celestial Court. Even though Ding Ye was hundreds of meters away, he was still suppressed by this true magical artifact!

But Ding Ye has always been tenacious by nature, even if he already knew he could never be a match for this Six Paths Celestial Court expert Jin Ming, he didn’t want to directly run away and still prepared to wield the Earth Spirit Immortal Technique!

"You’re no match for him, let me do it instead!"

Suddenly, Lin Xuankong’s voice echoed in Ding Ye’s ear,

He turned his head to look, still wanting to say something, yet Lin Xuankong gently shook his head, solemnly speaking:

"You’ve already managed to push your True Qi to its limits, relying on your innate battle talent to stand equally against Jin Ling, a disciple of the Six Paths Celestial Court, even vaguely suppressing his Low-Tier Spiritual Artifact—this is truly commendable! If it were another cultivator like you, of Transcendence Tier Three Realm, wielding the same Earth Spirit Immortal Technique, they probably wouldn’t even withstand a single move from that Six Paths Celestial Court disciple Jin Ling! In this battle, you’ve indeed exceeded my expectations, very well done!

However, this Jin Ming from the Six Paths Celestial Court stands far above Jin Ling in strength, with a realm that surpasses Jin Ling by a full floor, outstripping your cultivation realm by three tiers altogether. Moreover, the magical artifact he wields counts as a Middle-Tier Spiritual Artifact, the power of which could effortlessly obliterate most of the Tier Seven Transcendence cultivators!

Firstly, your realm is far too inferior to his; secondly, you possess no suitable superior magical artifact to combat him—so there’s fundamentally no chance you’ll defeat him. This immense gap in strength and equipment simply cannot be bridged by pure Immortal Technique advantages and astonishing talent alone!"

Ding Ye listened to Lin Xuankong’s words and respectfully nodded, "Disciple understands!"

Lin Xuankong gently shook his head, "You still haven’t completely understood! Do you know, the path of cultivation is fraught with innumerable difficulties and dangers; possessing a courageous and diligent Dao Heart is indeed essential, yet being courageous and diligent does not equate to recklessly fighting at all times, nor does it equate to gratuitously seeking conflict! To advance at the right time, and retreat at the appropriate juncture—that is the true manifestation of inner strength!"

And hearing this, Ding Ye’s expression suddenly shifted, kneeling down on one knee, he spoke: "Disciple has received your teaching; indeed, disciple felt somewhat dissatisfied moments ago, intending to engage in a life-and-death struggle against Jin Ming—impulsiveness got the better of me! I shall firmly engrave Master’s teachings in my heart!"

Seeing Ding Ye being like this, Lin Xuankong’s expression finally softened a bit, and he nodded, saying: "Your nature is sufficiently strong, which is naturally good for your cultivation, because your Dao Heart is resolute! But you must also realize, all things in the world, the blending of yin and yang, the coordination of strength and softness are the ways to endure—being too rigid easily leads to breaking! Very well, move aside now, let me confront this so-called expert of the Six Paths Celestial Court!"

After Ding Ye retreated, Lin Xuankong raised his eyes to look at the distant Jin Ming of the Six Paths Celestial Court; at this moment, that expert Jin Ming also looked over at Lin Xuankong, saying:

"Are you Ding Ye’s master, the so-called Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable?

That Giant Stone Puppet technique Ding Ye displayed earlier, was it taught by you?

Good, very good! If I, Jin Ming, were to bully a mere Tier Three Immortal Venerable by realm, it would really mean nothing!

Instead, since you taught such a disciple as Ding Ye, it is clear your realm is not bad and your power is sufficiently formidable, making it worthwhile for me to unleash the full power of my Golden Light Sword Treasure!"

Lin Xuankong, hearing this, looked at the Golden Light Small Sword held by Jin Ming, the expert from the Six Paths Celestial Court, and coldly said:

"Although various magical artifacts possess good power, they are ultimately just magical artifacts—among the items used by numerous Immortal Families, they are considered the lowest-end objects, unworthy of being called treasures!

As for your so-called Golden Light Sword, even among magical artifacts, at most it is Middle Grade, not even qualifying as a treasure, much less a treasure worthy of being called a supreme treasure!"

While Lin Xuankong’s talent in artifact refining did not surpass his cultivation talent, with the assistance of the Artifact Refining Genius Xiao Xiuyi, his realm in artifact refining was exceedingly high, unmatched in the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm, and considered rare even in the Supreme Origin Realm!

In his eyes, even ordinary true Immortal Artifacts do not qualify as treasures—even those valued by the Candle Dragon Race may not be to his liking, not to mention this so-called supreme treasure from the Star River First Immortal Sect’s Six Paths Celestial Court!

Thus, the previous words he spoke were simply expressions of his feelings, without a hint of looking down upon the Golden Light Small Sword!

Unfortunately,

The words Lin Xuankong spoke from his heart,

completely changed in meaning in Jin Ming’s ears.

Originally, the expert Jin Ming from the Six Paths Celestial Court could maintain a calm and natural expression, but after hearing Lin Xuankong’s statement, his expression dramatically changed, becoming extremely cold in an instant,

His eyes burned with killing intent, glaring fiercely at Lin Xuankong, saying coldly: "You are merely an indigenous cultivator of this barren planet, who hasn’t even left this planet, who hasn’t seen true magical artifacts, who doesn’t possess even a single magical artifact, yet how dare you boast like this?

The Golden Light Sword, refined painstakingly by my master and dozens of my master’s uncles, ranks among the top in the countless supreme treasures of our Star River First Immortal Sect’s Six Paths Celestial Court, yet you dare to belittle it like thus!

Die, arrogant one!

Today, I shall use your arrogant blood to wash away your insult to the Golden Light Sword!"

Before the words fell,

The Golden Light Small Sword in Jin Ming’s hand, the expert of the Six Paths Celestial Court, had already turned into a streak of golden light, shooting towards Lin Xuankong’s position with the crisp sound of a dragon’s roar!

This Golden Light Small Sword indeed lives up to being a Middle-Tier Spiritual Artifact; in its shooting, the speed was incredibly fast, the eyes of nearly a thousand cultivators surrounding the high platform could barely pinpoint the precise location of the Golden Light Small Sword!

However, Jin Ming, who was wielding the Golden Light Small Sword, was laughing coldly, evidently extremely certain that this sword shot would surely decapitate ’Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable’, for in Jin Ming’s view, this was indeed a supreme treasure capable of severely injuring even Tier Eight Immortal Venerables!

From a distance, Lin Xuankong leisurely raised his right hand, lightly beckoning.

The Golden Light Small Sword, initially shooting with fearsome speed within three feet of Lin Xuankong’s forehead, abruptly halted and trembled a few times before descending lightly, landing precisely in Lin Xuankong’s raised palm.

At this moment, Lin Xuankong lowered his head to look at the palm where the Golden Light Small Sword lay, gently stroking the sword in his hand, and gently shook his head, saying:

"The materials are truly decent, seemingly imbued with some of the original essence, indeed composed of materials formed by Star Core condensation! However, the refining method is rather crude, not only failing to harness the special star power of Star Core materials but also diminishing some star power, merely adding runes to enhance sharpness and speed—such a refining method is simply a waste of rare resources!

In a world like this, to refine a Middle-Tier Spiritual Artifact starting from scratch indicates that the cultivator who refined this artifact possesses a middling artifact refining talent at least! Yet your Six Paths Celestial Court, having dominated countless life planets, why not select cultivators with stronger artifact refining talents... Alas, truly a pity for such exceedingly rare Star Core materials!"
