768. Chapter 766 You Can Rest Assured

We need an outstanding artifact craftsman to forge a supreme-grade spiritual artifact to deal with the recent crisis we have encountered.

Upon hearing this news, Lu Yuan's heart was suddenly shaken.

Supreme-grade spiritual artifact?

What a precious existence it is!

If I could become the craftsman, that would be the highest-grade, top-tier product I have ever forged!

He excitedly looked at Hong Lietian after saying these words: "Please rest assured!"

I will devote my full effort to complete this task.

Hong Lietian smiled slightly, "Lu Yuan, keep it up."

He turned and left the artifact forging room, leaving Lu Yuan alone to continue his forging work.

After several months, Lu Yuan successfully formed a Golden Core during his closed-door cultivation.

His cultivation surpassed that of his peers, making him a notable figure.

However, even after reaching such a high realm, Lu Yuan did not become arrogant or complacent.

On the contrary, he treated his artifact forging technique more cautiously and persisted in producing more high-grade pills and magical devices.

Although the waiting period lasted several months, Lu Yuan ultimately succeeded in advancing to a third-rank artifact craftsman and prepared himself to participate in the Sect Grand Comparison.

As the Sect Grand Comparison approached, Hong Lietian sought out Lu Yuan once again.

Good news!

I have already secured some extra resources and slots for you.

This will provide some support for you in the Sect Grand Comparison!

Upon hearing this news, Lu Yuan's feelings of gratitude overflowed.

Elder Hong Lietian, please accept my thanks.

I will exert my full effort to display my strength and achieve good results in the Sect Grand Comparison.

Hong Lietian nodded and gave Lu Yuan some encouraging looks.

The Sect Grand Comparison finally began; Lu Yuan entered the martial arena, his heart filled with anticipation and nervousness.

He looked around at his fellow cultivators, sensing the powerful aura each one emitted.

Although this put some pressure on him, it also aroused his inner fighting spirit.

In the midst of the fiercely proceeding Sect Grand Comparison, Lu Yuan and the other disciples entered the secret realm of the Lei Huo Dan Ge together.

They stepped into this mysterious place full of curiosity, hoping to find more rare artifact-forging and pill-refining materials.

The secret realm was permeated with a mysterious aura, making one's heart yearn.

At the entrance of the Lei Huo Dan Ge secret realm, everyone's attention was drawn to rows of huge cyan stone carvings.

These carvings lifelike depicted various magical beast forms, each emitting a special energy fluctuation.

Lu Yuan carefully observed these carvings, suddenly feeling something was off.

These carvings seem to be the legendary exotic species of the Spirit Beast Valley!

Su Liyan tightly gripped the Ice Crystal Long Whip in her hand and spoke alertly.

Zi Xi'er also wore a solemn expression, "I've heard the Spirit Beast Valley exotic species are extremely dangerous; we must act cautiously."

Lu Yuan furrowed his brows slightly, looked at Hong Lietian, and asked.

Elder Hong Lietian, how can we avoid these Spirit Beast Valley exotic species?

Hong Lietian showed a hint of a contemplative expression.

According to the records, to pass through this secret realm, we need to employ a special immortal technique, lure those exotic species to chase us, and then escape their control range.

At that time, others can take the opportunity to search for more precious materials.

But, safety comes first.

After hearing this, Lu Yuan suddenly understood, "Then let's act quickly!"

Everyone worked together, exerting their respective immortal techniques, moving swiftly through the Lei Huo Dan Ge secret realm.

Lu Yuan swung his Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword, using great power to control the airflow around him and leading everyone forward swiftly.

Suddenly, a fierce wind howled past, mixed with the sound of exotic beasts roaring.

Lu Yuan's heart tightened, "They're here!"

Everyone hurriedly increased speed to dodge the swiftly lunging Spirit Beast Valley exotic species.

Su Liyan skillfully wielded the Ice Crystal Long Whip, tracing beautiful, cold arcs in the air, freezing several exotic species in place.

Zi Xi'er, relying on the power of the Cold Jade Ice Slice, released a sheet of illusion, confusing even more exotic species.

Amidst the brutal battle and looming danger, a tragic cry rang out.

Everyone alertly traced the source of the sound, only to discover that Senior Brother Feng Tianfeng had unfortunately been besieged by the Spirit Beast Valley exotic species.

Immediately after, another mournful cry sounded; everyone rushed to the scene in panic, seeing only a broken corpse lying on the ground.

Everyone's faces grew solemn as they silently mourned the sacrifice of Senior Brother Feng Tianfeng.

We cannot lose any more comrades!

Lu Yuan's eyes were firm, "We must repel these exotic species and protect everyone."

Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Hong Lietian was slightly taken aback, then revealed a relieved smile.

Excellent, Lu Yuan, with a helper like you we have even more confidence.

He nodded, indicating the other disciples should follow.

Everyone continued forward under Lu Yuan's leadership, heading deeper in.

Along the way they encountered ever more exotic beasts, but thanks to Lu Yuan's skillful use of immortal techniques and the assistance of Zi Xi'er and Su Liyan, they smoothly passed through one obstacle after another.

When they arrived at a spacious, bright place, an enormous vein appeared before them.

This is a mountain formed from condensed spiritual springs, exuding rich immortal qi.

Everyone was amazed by the sight before them.

Su Liyan leaned in for a look and said, "These spiritual springs are exactly the materials we need!"

"If we can extract and utilize them, it would be a tremendous wealth."

Hong Lietian nodded in agreement, "Exactly!"

"It contains extremely rich immortal energy elements, usable for crafting magic artifacts and pills."

Lu Yuan smiled slightly, took out a crystal-clear immortal stone from his storage bag, and said, "I discovered a mysterious spirit-immortal vein deeper ahead; this is one of them."

He pointed to the immortal stone and said, "This can help us extract more spiritual springs."

Everyone looked in astonishment at the immortal stone in Lu Yuan's hand, never expecting him to possess such a precious resource.

Hong Lietian felt deep gratitude toward Lu Yuan, saying, "Lu Yuan, you truly are a pride of our Lei Huo Dan Ge disciples!"

The other disciples began to change their attitude toward Lu Yuan.

Just moments ago they doubted whether he could help them, but now they are full of anticipation.

They all expressed their honor for Lu Yuan and the ling ling ore vein.

A hint of pride appeared on Lu Yuan's face; he knew he had finally gained everyone's approval.

Thus he proposed, "Elder Hong Lietian, please arrange personnel to begin extracting these spiritual springs."

"I will protect everyone."

Hong Lietian nodded in agreement and immediately organized the disciples to start work.

After some discussion, Lu Yuan indicated he would consider the sect's interests, and after refusing the proposal to become a core disciple, he earned Hong Lietian's praise and a promise of material rewards.

Although some doubted whether he could fulfill his promise, Lu Yuan remained full of confidence, making everyone anticipate his achievement of crafting a magic artifact within a day. (End of chapter)
