Chapter 1146

"Sacrifice..."

Listening to the mud fox's words, Xu Qing's gaze fell towards the abyss, lost in thought.

After a long while, he withdrew his gaze and spoke calmly.

"Since exploration is difficult, let's put it aside for now."

After speaking, Xu Qing's body swayed, rising from within this Ink Earth, and flew outward.

The mud fox behind him also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

After recalling what kind of place this was, he felt strong unease about continuing the exploration, and even felt palpitations when smelling the smell of rust.

After all, no one knows when that original upper star nail that was taken out will return...

If it really happens to return while they are exploring, then the moment it is nailed into this place will also be the time when he and Xu Qing are destroyed in body and soul.

Of course, the mud fox also knew that the probability of such a thing was not high.

So what he was truly palpitating about was the unknown beneath this Ink Earth.

That was mystery and danger that surpassed his omniscience.

Seeing Xu Qing give up at this moment, the mud fox breathed a sigh of relief and immediately followed.

Just like that, one after another with Xu Qing, they left the Ink Earth and appeared outside. The moment they appeared, Xu Qing raised his hand and threw the fishing rod to the mud fox.

After the mud fox caught it, he already had a guess in his heart, so a look of resentment appeared on his face.

"Stinky little brother, are you planning to run out and play by yourself? Leaving me at home to fish for you?"

Xu Qing nodded.

He did indeed plan to do so.

"There are still ten months before going to the Guiding Universe. Time is limited, so I also need to go and get some of the rewards after ascension."

"Fast in a few months, slow in half a year, I will be back."

"During this time, I trouble the Upper God to continue fishing for me here. As for source quality, naturally, the more the better."

After speaking, without waiting for the mud fox to agree, Xu Qing's body swayed and left first.

The mud fox hummed, looked at Xu Qing's departing figure, and curled his lips.

"Polite in words, but the tone contains an unquestionable quality, and the behavior is also like this. This kid... has grown up."

"Daring to talk to me like this!"

"However, I like him even more like this."

After curling his lips, the mud fox couldn't help but lick his lips. Outside this Ink Earth, he waved his jade hand, and immediately, a sea of flowers appeared out of thin air around him, with flowers blooming, and charming women walked out from within.

These were all molded by the mud fox's divine arts, vivid and true.

Amidst the warbling, there was music echoing here.

It was as if returning to the Hundred Flowers Palace.

So naturally, there were soft couches that came out with it.

At the same time, it was accompanied by some immortal fruits and spiritual wine.

The mud fox knows how to enjoy himself. At this moment, he lay on the soft couch like a noble concubine, flicked the fishing rod, the fishing line fell into the Ink Earth, and then while eating immortal fruits, drinking spiritual wine, and listening to beautiful music, he was in a pleasant mood.

"Life, you can't treat yourself badly."

Xu Qing noticed this scene of comfortable fishing outside the Ink Earth before leaving.

Everyone's preferences are different, and their cognition is also different.

The mud fox likes enjoyment and liveliness, but Xu Qing likes peace and quiet.

What the former feels is boring, might be a kind of peace in the latter's heart.

So no matter how the process is, it is just a different choice. As long as the source quality is fished out in the end, it is fine.

Carrying such thoughts, Xu Qing used his immortal slip to leave the Moyang Universe and head to... the Dao Refining Universe!

Whether it is the constitutional baptism for magic treasures or the chance for a lower immortal to personally refine weapons, it is all conducted in Dao Refining.

And the Dao Refining Universe is naturally special, and it is reasonable to say that it is a strategic resource universe.

Because this universe is already the core of the entire Nine Shores Heaven in terms of weapon refining.

The artificial changes within it are also huge and shocking.

The Dao Refining Universe has no star domains, no star systems, no stars.

What it has is just a vast furnace!

This furnace occupies seventy percent of the area of the Dao Refining Universe, so one can imagine that the vastness of this furnace has reached an unbelievable degree.

And the Dao Refining Fire within the furnace comes from... countless stars!

All the stars in the entire Dao Refining Universe have been moved here to bless the fire of this place.

But what forms this Dao Refining Fire is not just the stars of this universe.

There is also a part that was picked and sent from other universes to make the Dao Refining Fire more prosperous.

Another part comes from the fire of gods.

All this gathered together to form this terrifying Dao Refining Furnace that can accommodate billions of weapon masters to refine weapons with it.

Looking from afar, this furnace is actually not much different from the sun, but it is more astonishing and vast, becoming the only celestial body in this universe.

At the same time, there are countless void belts scattered from this Dao Refining Furnace, fluttering in all directions.

On each void belt, one can see densely packed cultivators coming and going.

In the entire Nine Shores Heaven, as long as there is a need for weapon refining and one possesses the qualification, one will come here, which makes this Dao Refining Universe lively and extraordinary at all times.

When Xu Qing's figure appeared, it was on a void belt. Whether it was what he saw in front of him, or the sounds coming from all around, as well as the heat wave hitting his face, all made Xu Qing have a moment of trance.

"Such a furnace..."

Xu Qing murmured in his heart, his footsteps did not pause, and he galloped forward.

Following the void belt where he was, he walked past the crowds coming and going, and finally approached the end.

Before the black altar standing here, he waited in line.

Because of the huge demand for weapon refining in the Dao Refining Universe, the crowds waiting on any void belt were not small. Fortunately, the number of weapon masters within it was also astonishing, so the waiting time was not too long.

And most of them were sitting cross-legged with eyes closed, practicing while waiting. When it was their turn, they walked onto the altar, crushed the jade slip, turned into a beam of light, and teleported into the surface layer of the Dao Refining Furnace.

Just like that, in this waiting, a few days passed in a flash.

During these few days, Xu Qing was also observing the Dao Refining Furnace in detail.

This furnace is divided into nine levels from top to bottom. The lower the level, the more massive the weapon refining entrance, and only the weapon refining entrances on the top level are few in number.

And the cultivators teleporting on the void belts in all directions are mostly entering the bottom three entrances, and those entering the middle three are not very common.

As for the top three, Xu Qing had not seen them.

So he had some judgments in his heart.

Until a few more hours passed, when the cultivator in front of him also walked onto the altar and teleported away, Xu Qing finally became the first in line.

After it was his turn, Xu Qing took a deep breath, stepped onto the altar, and took out the immortal slip he obtained from ascension.

According to the actions of others he saw during the few days, Xu Qing crushed this immortal slip.

With a bang, the shattered immortal slip spread and merged into the altar, forming a catalytic force, roaring and turning into a beam of light, rising up.

The beam of light went exactly to... the second layer of the top three layers of the Dao Refining Furnace!!

The appearance of this beam of light immediately attracted the attention of the cultivators on the surrounding void belts, and gazes filled with surprise were cast over one after another.

There were even discussions echoing among the cultivators.

"Actually saw a cultivator entering the second layer!"

"The top three layers of the Dao Refining Furnace are for immortal weapon refining!"

"Generally speaking, unless one has made a huge contribution, one will not get such a qualification..."

"It should be a newly ascended ascender of this session. The top ten of this session can obtain this honor!"

These discussions were mostly filled with envy.

It is really rare to have such a chance for a lower immortal to personally refine weapons.

And Xu Qing did not know about everything outside. At this moment, he teleported with the beam of light, and when he appeared, he was already in a weapon refining entrance on the second layer of the Dao Refining Furnace!!

The heat surrounded him, and in front of him was a huge fire pond.

An old man in a red robe was sitting cross-legged on the fire pond, exuding a terrifying aura. After Xu Qing sensed it, his expression became solemn.

He immediately judged that this person was an immortal!

So he bowed respectfully.

"What treasure do you want to refine?"

The red-robed old man did not open his eyes, still sitting cross-legged on the fire pond, but divine sense echoed.

Xu Qing did not hesitate, raised his hand and waved, immediately taking out the constitutional treasure compass he obtained back then, and even took out the dust of heavenly principles.

After thinking for a while, he also placed his star tower aside.

After doing all this, he spoke respectfully.

"Senior, the junior wants to refine this compass, use its material, cooperate with the heavenly principles, and add the junior's own constitution to forge it into a treasure that can echo with my constitution!"

"What kind of shape?"

The red-robed old man's divine sense transmitted.

"Make it into a skewer!"

Xu Qing raised his hand and waved, manifesting the iron skewer he often used back then, to determine the shape of the treasure to be refined.

Then he pointed at the compass.

"As for the constitution within this compass, please ask Senior to help take it out and integrate it into my tower treasure."

This time, the red-robed old man on the fire pond opened his eyes slightly, and terrifying pressure exuded from his eyes, falling on Xu Qing.

"You only have one chance to refine weapons."

Xu Qing lowered his head and spoke calmly.

"The junior also has a chance for a constitutional baptism."

"That is not for the old man to do." The red-robed old man transmitted a light voice, then looked at Xu Qing carefully, and suddenly said again.

"Are you Xu Qing?"

Xu Qing nodded.

The red-robed old man smiled.

"Since you are the first of this session... well, I will help you once."

After the old man finished speaking, he raised his hand and pointed, and immediately a shocking power exuded from his fingertips, falling on the compass.

The compass shook, melted rapidly, impurities dissipated, leaving the essence. As for the constitution within it, it was taken out without damage. With a movement of the red-robed old man's fingertips, the constitution of the compass headed straight for the star tower aside.

The next instant, a ball of fire sprayed out from the fire pond, surrounding the star tower, and after the constitution integrated into it was completely unified, even the breakage of the star tower itself was re-refined in the fire.

Not only did it recover, but the power exuded was obviously stronger.

After doing all this, the old man began to refine the magic treasure for Xu Qing, purifying the compass and the dust of heavenly principles, and then fused them rapidly. Then he thought for a while, took out a blue stone the size of a palm, and waved it into it.

Then the fire of the entire fire pond rose, burning completely, and under continuous refining, an iron skewer... appeared faintly in the sea of fire.

The moment it was about to take shape, the red-robed old man suddenly spoke.

"Your constitution!"

Xu Qing saw this scene of refining weapons as if it were easy, and knew that this person must be a master. He was excited and did not hesitate to scatter his own parallel constitution.

Integrated into the sea of fire, integrated into that iron skewer.

The iron skewer shook fiercely, as if it had become a kaleidoscope, appearing with countless illusory bodies.

"Done!"

Xu Qing's eyes lit up.
