Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 442 - 212: He’s Actually an Artifact Refining Genius?_2

Dressed in black, Xiao Xiuyi gazed at the brand-new Initial Tier Immortal Sword in Lin Xuankong’s hand, her expression kept changing. "This... this, you actually succeeded in refining an Immortal Artifact? But how is this possible? I’ve never seen you refine an Immortal Artifact; you haven’t even attempted to refine Magical Artifacts or Battle Armors!"

Lin Xuankong glanced at the two newly refined Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts beside Xiao Xiuyi. "Unfortunately, I’m still far from Miss Xiao’s refining speed. I’ve only just refined my first Initial Tier Immortal Sword, yet Miss Xiao has already completed her second! Mm, there’s quite a gap!"

Xiao Xiuyi: ....

Lin Xuankong watched Xiao Xiuyi’s peculiar expression and couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly.

Xiao Xiuyi frowned and said, "I suddenly don’t feel like refining Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts for you anymore. Since you’re so strong, do it yourself!"

Lin Xuankong: ....

Xiao Xiuyi was, of course, only speaking out of irritation! Lin Xuankong could provide her with a quiet, uninterrupted refining environment and continually supply her with a large amount of materials, allowing her to constantly verify her new insights into Artifact Refining. Most importantly, Lin Xuankong had once gifted her his family’s treasured Treasure Medicines, which had allowed her Artifact Refining skills to continuously improve since then. With these conditions, help, and acts of kindness, Xiao Xiuyi, this prodigy of Artifact Refining, would naturally spare no effort in repaying his generosity!

Thus, a dozen or so days later, Lin Xuankong, on Flying Dragon Slope, was surrounded by a pile of Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts! Most of these new Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts were refined by Xiao Xiuyi, while roughly a little less than half were refined by Lin Xuankong. Although Lin Xuankong’s Artifact Refining skill wasn’t far behind Xiao Xiuyi’s due to the second talent from his Wives, Children, Elders, and Youngsters, in actual practice, Xiao Xiuyi’s Artifact Refining Talent still slightly surpassed his, naturally allowing her to outpace him in refining speed!

Gazing at the ground now covered in Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts, Xiao Xiuyi, dressed in black, stood gracefully beside Lin Xuankong, a look of satisfaction on her face. For her, nothing brought more peace and joy than continuously refining various artifacts!

However, watching Lin Xuankong pick up one Initial Tier Immortal Artifact after another and swiftly nourish it, Xiao Xiuyi, despite being long accustomed to this sight, still felt a profound shock in her heart.

"To nourish an Initial Tier Immortal Artifact in just a few breaths... even cultivators in the Earth Immortal Realm might only be capable of this! Truly, I wonder, if you ascend to the Earth Immortal Realm one day, just how abundant would your Immortal Yuan be? How long could you activate these Immortal Artifacts?" Xiao Xiuyi couldn’t help but say.

Hearing this, Lin Xuankong’s eyes also revealed a touch of anticipation. Having arrived at Spiritual Crane Immortal City and met Lii Xiaolan, he now understood much more about cultivation in the Earth Immortal Realm.

According to Lii Xiaolan, cultivators in the Transcendence Realm could only channel True Qi. Thus, when nourishing Immortal Artifacts, they had to expend a large amount of True Qi each time and could only activate them for a very short period—typically two or three breaths at most!

Cultivators in the Earth Immortal Realm, however, are different. After their bodies are stimulated by Immortal Ascension Treasure Pills and Immortal Tribulations, their Sunflower Water Vein, Geng Metal Vein, Thick Earth Vein, Wood Vein, and Li Fire Vein merge to form an Earth Immortal Golden Core! Furthermore, the Divine Souls of Earth Immortal Realm cultivators also merge with their Immortal Body and Golden Core due to the effects of Immortal Ascension Treasure Pills, Immortal Tribulations, and Immortal Yuan. At that point, Earth Immortal Realm experts could practically stand invincible, possessing nearly indestructible Golden Cores and infinitely versatile Immortal Bodies. As long as these are not completely annihilated, their Divine Souls will persist until their Lifespan is exhausted!

Simultaneously, as True Qi is converted into Immortal Yuan, which is countless times more condensed, the energy consumed to activate Magical Artifacts and Immortal Artifacts becomes minimal. Even an Initial Tier Earth Immortal, with the abundant Immortal Yuan in their Golden Core and Immortal Body, can easily activate an Initial Tier Immortal Artifact for thousands of breaths. For a First-Grade Immortal Sword that is several times heavier, they could activate it for hundreds of breaths. As for heavy Immortal Artifacts of Second and Third Grades, they could still activate them for dozens of breaths!

The Immortal Yuan of a typical Initial Tier Earth Immortal can already activate a Third-Grade Immortal Artifact for dozens of breaths.

Thinking of this, Lin Xuankong smiled and said, "I just have a little more True Qi, so I’ll just be able to activate them for a little longer than others!"

Xiao Xiuyi was speechless. "Mm-hmm, a little, a little!"

Then, her brows suddenly furrowed. "But there’s one thing I still need to remind you, Brother Lin! The Central Divine Dynasty has numerous Earth Immortals, and they all possess their own powerful Immortal Techniques; they must not be underestimated. This time you are participating in the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect’s disciple recruitment ceremony. Firstly, do not underestimate your opponents. Even with Immortal Artifacts, you must not look down on the disciples from the various Immortal Sects. Secondly, unless it is absolutely necessary, do not reveal your Third-Grade Cyan Nether Immortal Sword. Also, when activating the Immortal Capturing Array, it’s best not to casually use so many Immortal Artifacts, to avoid attracting unwanted attention and covetous eyes!"

Lin Xuankong nodded slightly. "I will certainly keep Miss Xiao’s reminder in mind!"

With that said, he stored away the last nourished Immortal Sword, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
