Chapter 753: Standardized Artifacts

"Senior, look, I have already handed over the secret method of insect control to you."

Zhai Rang looked at Su Fan with eager eyes, his voice growing lower and lower.

"Hmm! Go!"

"What?"

As if he hadn't heard clearly, Zhai Rang widened his eyes.

"Do you still want to stay?"

Su Fan replied impatiently, which immediately brought Zhai Rang back to his senses. The expression on his face was quite spectacular, and it took him several breaths to react.

With a flick of Su Fan's sleeve, the seal within his body was completely undone.

Feeling his entire body loosen, he immediately scrambled away from the cave entrance, ignoring the injuries on his body, and transformed into a rainbow to flee.

"He runs quite fast."

Wu You had been watching from the side the whole time without speaking, only muttering a sentence at the end.

"Senior, aren't you afraid of letting a tiger return to the mountains?"

Wu You then asked in a low voice.

"Just based on him? That's not enough."

"What about Poison Demon Shangren?"

"It's best if he comes; it saves me the trouble of having to find him."

Su Fan smiled.

He didn't care about Zhai Rang at all. So what if they became enemies? He and the Purple Firmament Sect would always be able to suppress the other party.

If the other party really wanted revenge, that would be seeking death.

Even if he encountered some fortuitous opportunity in the future, could it compare to the Purple Firmament Sect?

As for that Poison Demon Shangren, he was the target. Ever since he rescued Wu You, the two sides had already become enemies.

From Wu You's mouth, he naturally knew that this Poison Demon Shangren was a person who would seek revenge for the slightest grievance, so his danger was more than a hundred times greater than Zhai Rang's.

After all, Zhai Rang's talent was decent, but whether he could break through to the Nascent Soul stage was still a question.

Not to mention, mere Golden Core cultivators posed no threat to the Purple Firmament Sect.

The only things that could threaten the Purple Firmament Sect were Nascent Soul cultivators, and even then, it was very difficult for an ordinary early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator to threaten the Purple Firmament Sect.

After all, even without him, the Purple Firmament Sect still had Lu Qingshan, a first-layer Nascent Soul cultivator.

Having experienced so much, the cultivation method Lu Qingshan practiced was not to say it was more powerful than those of the most ancient sects in the Central Plains.

But the cultivation method Su Fan provided was also tempered through a thousand trials, and it integrated multiple worlds; Su Fan himself valued foundations the most.

Practicing Su Fan's cultivation method made Lu Qingshan's foundation even stronger, and the magic power he cultivated was also very solid and thick, with improvements in combat as well.

In addition, whether it was divine abilities or artifacts, what he possessed was not bad either.

Those top-tier sects had many treasures, but there were also many cultivators to distribute them to. Currently, on the surface, the Purple Firmament Sect only had Lu Qingshan.

And Su Fan's main arts of cultivation had all reached the fifth rank.

Even in artifact refining, he had reached the fifth rank earlier than in alchemy.

After all, alchemy was more difficult to advance to the fifth rank due to pill formulas, while for artifact refining, even without some refining inheritances, he had long since formed his own unique set of refining techniques through his own exploration over the years.

Moreover, this artifact refining technique also integrated methods from several worlds, making the artifacts he refined even more powerful.

For example, right now, the fifth-rank artifact Thunder Seal held in Lu Qingshan's hand was refined by Su Fan using Wind-Thunder Stones from the *Swallowed Star* world as the main material.

The Thunder Seal contained vast thunder power; when smashing people, it could also release thunder, and its power was quite formidable.

It was a pity that Lu Qingshan did not have a thunder spirit root and could not exert the strongest power of this artifact.

Su Fan had quite a few Wind-Thunder Stones in his hands. Using them as the main material, he had refined many thunder-attribute artifacts, the lowest being fourth-rank high-tier, and most being fifth-rank artifacts.

It could be said that there were very many materials for artifact refining. Because of pill formulas, Su Fan couldn't bring back much from the *Swallowed Star* world for alchemy.

But for artifact refining materials, it was simple; there were too many various ores in the universe. Wind-Thunder Stones and Thunder Stones weren't considered very precious.

They were just average, but if these were placed in the main world, the Yuan Yang Realm, they would be comparable to fifth or sixth-rank materials.

Especially the essence extracted from Wind-Thunder Stones and Thunder Stones could be used as basic materials for refining sixth-rank Pure Yang Dharma Treasures.

In the future, the Demon race would invade, so Su Fan had also prepared a large number of such artifacts.

After all, thunder naturally restrained demonic cultivators.

In the future, when facing demonic cultivators, the Purple Mansion and Golden Core cultivators in the Purple Firmament Sect would be the main force. In fact, there was no need to get third-rank artifacts from the *Swallowed Star* side. After all, a mineral vein, the Red Flame Iron vein, had been discovered here in Zheng Guo. After refining it into Red Flame Refined Iron, it could be used to refine third-rank artifacts.

In recent years, the artifact refiners in the Purple Firmament Sect had already begun to refine these standardized third-rank artifacts in large quantities.

These artifacts containing Red Flame Refined Iron also contained Red Yang power, which had a lot of restraint against demonic energy.

Especially the Red Fire Cover invented by Su Fan; it was the most popular standardized artifact in the Purple Firmament Sect. If one could find a third-rank Red Fire Python and refine its essence into it, the power of this artifact would be even greater.

Su Fan had once killed more than a dozen third-rank fire-attribute demon beasts, integrating their essence and flesh essence into these Red Fire Covers, causing these artifacts to advance to the third-rank peak level.

For this reason, those Purple Mansion cultivators of the Purple Firmament Sect were competing fiercely to snatch those artifacts.

After all, the Red Fire Cover was an artifact Su Fan specifically refined based on the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover from the *Investiture of the Gods* world.

Although it was definitely a counterfeit product compared to that Dharma Treasure in mythology, its power was truly formidable when placed in the main world, the Yuan Yang Realm.

Especially once it integrated the essence of a demon beast, its power was even greater.

If the basic material of this artifact used higher-grade Red Flame Refined Gold, then the Red Fire Cover could continue to integrate demon beast essences, and could even improve the artifact's grade.

Now, the Red Fire Cover in the hands of Great Elder Su Shi'an had already been promoted from third-rank high-tier to fourth-rank low-tier because Su Fan gave him special treatment and integrated the essence of three Red Fire Pythons.

He could even continue to improve the grade of this artifact.

Su Fan had created several types of standardized artifacts, but this Red Fire Cover was undoubtedly the most popular. And many artifact refiners in the Purple Firmament Sect, after obtaining the refining method for this artifact,

all began to mass-produce imitations. They couldn't refine third-rank ones, but they could still refine first and second-rank ones.

So now, one could often see cultivators outside holding bright red Red Fire Covers.

Nowadays, it is almost the case that this Red Fire Shield has become a symbol of the Zixiao Sect disciples.

In fact, not only did Purple Firmament Sect disciples like it, but many cultivators outside also liked this artifact very much.

In terms of attack power, fire-attribute and metal-attribute were the most powerful.

This Red Fire Cover could trap people and then calcine them with flames; its power was formidable and very suitable for fire-attribute cultivators.

Moreover, it didn't require much essence from the wielder. ===== CHAPTER 754 =====
