Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now! Chapter 1159 - 346: Strength Unleashes Miracles

"Glazed Purple Treasure Vine, I can indeed offer you a batch of [Realm-Breaking Pill], but..."
Stone Furnace remarked, casting a look at Chen Yan. "The Realm-Breaking Pill is only effective post the Celestial Human Realm. With your current standing, you likely won't require it for a considerable time."
Chen Yan acknowledged this but then recalled something. "Can the Realm-Breaking Pill be utilized during Celestial trials for breaking through realms? The tribulation faced in the Celestial Human Realm..."
"Utterly useless," Stone Furnace declared, shaking his head. "The Mirror-Breaking Celestial is a grand celestial tribulation, the Heavenly Dao's most rigorous examination of cultivators. External aids like elixirs offer no efficacy. The Mirror-Breaking Pill is exclusively for breakthroughs from the complete Celestial Human Realm to the Golden Body Realm, and again from the complete Golden Body Realm to the Primordial Spirit Realm."
Chen Yan nodded once more, recognizing that, given these circumstances, he was still a substantial distance from needing such a potent item.
A hint of anticipation flickered in Stone Furnace's gaze as he looked at Chen Yan. "Do you happen to have any other treasures with you?"
Chen Yan felt a moment of internal conflict but ultimately decided against revealing the essence fruit gifted by the Xiahua Demon. Its significance was too profound!
Though he might not have fully grasped its importance earlier, his recent conversation with the old woman confirmed what "Heart Demon East Sea" had previously stated.
The Beautiful Glow encountered within the Celestial Demon Yin Yang Joyful Sect was no mere Xiahua Demon; it was an original essence, born alongside the world at the dawn of creation.
The singular indicator of its immense value was the "+1 Saint Position" it conferred.
Even if Stone Furnace were trustworthy, Chen Yan was unwilling to disclose such a treasure lightly.
Regarding matters of such magnitude, even the old woman had been hesitant to speak extensively, fearing that further discourse might invoke the Heavenly Dao's attention.
Chen Yan decisively shook his head. "Nothing else!"
Then, with a forced casualness, he chuckled. "Master Stone Furnace, do you perceive me as some sort of treasure chest, capable of conjuring anything? Presenting these items has already exhausted my ultimate assets."
Stone Furnace harbored no suspicion. To him, the mere fact that this young man had produced these few items was already quite astonishing.
"Very well. Given this, I shall depart for now. I will naturally seek you out again once my alchemy is complete in a few days."
As he spoke, Stone Furnace paused, contemplating. "The materials you've supplied are of the highest caliber, meaning the process won't be swift. You will need to await my completion patiently for some days—perhaps fifty to sixty days."
Chen Yan felt no inclination to rush his departure. After all, this was an opportunity for significant gains, so why hurry?
After seeing Stone Furnace off, he promptly returned to his quarters.
Within his room, he activated the Spirit Gathering Array and commenced meditation, circulating his Primordial Qi.
Consequently, Chen Yan dedicated half of each day to circulating Primordial Qi and the other half to honing his Primordial Spirit. His Divine Sense was amplified through the practice of the "Sharpening" technique.
This regimen continued, and three days elapsed with remarkable speed.
The appointed meeting with Artifact Master Golden Saber was scheduled for three days hence.
This time, Golden Saber did not arrive alone but was accompanied by two disciples.
Chen Yan was taken aback by the disciples he brought with him. One of them was not of the Ghost Race, but rather donned the typical attire of the Domain Realm. Judging by his complexion and build, he exhibited no discernible characteristics of a Ghost Race individual.
Golden Saber, possessing a background and experience akin to Stone Furnace, also originated from the Ghost Race. However, he had ventured away from the Southern Border to broaden his horizons and deepen his understanding of artifact refining. After a brief sojourn at the Immortal Platform, he returned to the Southern Border, declining their overtures. He subsequently accepted numerous disciples, establishing himself as a preeminent refining master within the Ghost Race.
His two disciples were brawny and robust, resembling craftsmen accustomed to wielding hammers and axes. Indeed, the refinement and forging of magical artifacts often necessitate considerable physical strength. Within the Domain Realm, artifact creators typically possess a substantial foundation in body cultivation, and a sturdy, enduring physique is paramount for aspiring artifact refiners.
Golden Saber himself was tall and lean, yet possessed a surprising musculature beneath his slender frame.
In contrast to the short and stout Stone Furnace, Golden Saber's lankiness elongated his face, with sunken cheeks, giving him a less approachable demeanor than the jovial Master Stone Furnace; he appeared rather cold and stern.
His personality mirrored this appearance, and he spoke with a chilling tone. This wasn't specifically directed at Chen Yan; the latter observed that he addressed everyone with a detached, almost mournful quality.
Perhaps, Chen Yan mused, these tech students from the Domain Realm shared a common deficit in communication and social skills.
Prior to Golden Saber's arrival, Chen Yan had already spent three days in contemplation, meticulously organizing his requirements.
"The saber you require has already been accounted for by myself."
Golden Saber’s preamble was straight to the point, eschewing pleasantries. Following this declaration, he lapsed into silence, implying for his disciple to elaborate.
It was the disciple who was not of the Ghost Race that then spoke. His voice resonated powerfully, his skin possessing a hue like pale gold. Though clad in cultivator’s robes, his sleeves were rolled high, giving him the distinct appearance of a skilled artisan. He addressed the group with clarity and volume: "My master is not fond of extensive conversation, therefore I shall introduce our offerings to esteemed guest."
A subtle nod towards his companion preceded the latter’s action. With a flourish, the second disciple slammed a bundle onto the table. This bundle, revealed to be an item of storage, soon yielded five distinct boxes from its depths.
