Chapter 1086: Cleaned Out

At this moment, inside the Artifact Refining Tower.

Xu Que was looking around with full curiosity, feeling amazed at everything.

Originally, he thought this tower was hiding some supreme treasure, or perhaps the treasure vault of the Ling family's City Lord's Mansion, but now that he had entered, he realized it wasn't like that at all!

The entire tower was very empty, far more spacious than it looked from the outside, easily the size of over a hundred football fields.

The most critical thing was that countless stoves were laid out inside. Looking at it at a glance, he almost thought he had come to a competition point where countless chefs were going to compete in culinary skills!

The only difference was that these stoves were all specialized casting platforms for artifact refining!

Every ten meters, a casting platform was laid out, neat and tidy, looking quite imposing at a glance. Beside each casting platform, a huge shelf was placed, on which were placed portions of precious artifact refining materials!

"Wind Thunder Demon Gold?"

"Ice Soul Profound Iron?"

"True Yi Silver?"

"Holy crap, so many precious artifact refining materials, I'm going to get rich!"

Xu Que looked at the various materials on the shelves and couldn't help but gasp in shock, truly stunned.

Even though he usually looked down on the storage foundations of other cultivators, seeing so many precious materials at this moment, he couldn't help but feel amazed.

This feeling was like a rich man who didn't care about money seeing a hundred yuan on the road. Most ordinary people would pick it up, but the rich man would be too lazy to pick it up. But if it were hundreds of billions of money thrown in front of him, who wouldn't pick it up!

Xu Que was in such a state of mind now. With so many precious materials, anyone who didn't pick them up was a fool!

"Come on! Get into my bowl, hahaha!"

Xu Que laughed happily, his big hands waving constantly, sweeping up all the precious artifact refining materials in the entire tower, and collecting them all into the system storage space without missing a single one!

Afterward, he also discovered that on each shelf, an identical artifact refining formula blueprint was placed, which was a refining diagram for a fourth-grade dharma treasure.

"Hundred-Mile Life-Taking Blade?" Xu Que was startled.

The name of this dharma treasure was interesting. It could actually take a life from a hundred miles away, and it was a small, short blade.

Generally speaking, Xu Que was a man who couldn't tolerate shortness, but this dharma treasure possessed the ability to take a life from a hundred miles away, which had to make him curious.

After carefully reviewing the refining diagram, Xu Que understood that this dharma treasure's way of taking a life from a hundred miles away was quite special. As long as one held this object, one could fuse their divine soul with spiritual energy, turning it into thousands upon thousands of blades, killing from a hundred miles away.

However, this dharma treasure had a flaw. If the opponent shattered the blades that were transformed, the dharma treasure would also suffer damage. After accumulating to a certain number of times, the dharma treasure would directly shatter.

But judging from the introduction attached to the diagram, this thing was still loved by many sects and forces because this Hundred-Mile Life-Taking Blade was most suitable for group battles. If everyone held one and blasted it out, the opponent would often fall in a large group first. It was simply shameless enough!

"Satisfying, this fourth-grade dharma treasure is still pretty good. Now then... to the second floor!"

Xu Que put away the diagram with a smile and swept his gaze toward the stairs leading to the second floor, directly walking toward them!

But to Xu Que's surprise, a layer of restriction was laid out at the entrance to the second floor.

Xu Que tried to probe with his divine soul, wanting to see if this restriction could be broken, but as soon as his divine soul approached, it was instantly shredded and annihilated by the restriction, leaving nothing behind!

"Holy crap, this restriction is quite strong. System, can you break it?" Xu Que immediately summoned the system.

The system remained silent for a long time before responding: "Ding, after detection, breaking this restriction requires 50,000 points of Acting Cool Points and will take seven days!"

"Seven days?" Xu Que raised his eyebrows. He couldn't guarantee whether Ling Feng and that group would find this place within seven days.

If they were really found, then those 50,000 points of Acting Cool Points would probably be a loss!

"No, the so-called wealth is sought in danger. Only by fighting can a bicycle turn into a motorcycle. Just do it!" Xu Que finally made a decision and let the system break the restriction!

On one hand, he felt that the pile of materials he collected on the first floor was worth far more than 50,000 points of Acting Cool Points, even 200,000 points of Acting Cool Points would be quite worth it.

Now spending another 50,000 points of Acting Cool Points to fight for it, even if it failed, it wouldn't be a loss, but if it succeeded, it would be a double joy.

He believed that the things on the second floor would definitely be more precious than those on the first floor!

"Ding, starting to break..."

Soon, as the system began to break the restriction, Xu Que also strolled around on the first floor.

He separated a wisp of divine soul, handed it to the system for trusteeship, and was responsible for breaking the restriction, while he himself came to a casting platform, touched his chin, and was lost in thought.

"Seven days, idle is idle. Might as well try to see if I can refine that 'Hundred-Mile Life-Taking Blade', and even upgrade it to the fifth-grade level!"

As soon as Xu Que's idea emerged, he was instantly full of interest and decided to challenge a high difficulty, directly starting from a fourth-grade dharma treasure!

Previously, although he relied on his own strength to successfully step into the level of an Artifact Refining Master, he was ultimately only at the first-grade level. Even if he finally used Artifact Refining Essence to upgrade it to a third-grade dharma treasure, his true strength was still a distance away from the second grade and needed continued artifact refining to adapt!

But now he wanted to try, if he used Artifact Refining Essence to assist in artifact refining throughout the process, in short, cheating, to see if he could successfully refine a fourth-grade dharma treasure, or even step into the fifth grade.

"Hehe, if this method can be mastered, the distance to refining immortal artifacts won't be so far away anymore!"

Xu Que's eyes brightened, and he began to enter the trial stage.

He waved his palm and instantly summoned his strange fire, and at the same time, took out one of the artifact refining materials placed on the shelf earlier from his system storage space.

Clearly, these materials were all specialized for refining the Hundred-Mile Life-Taking Blade, and the set was complete.

Following the guidance of the diagram, Xu Que first refined the "Wind Thunder Demon Gold". This kind of demon gold had a characteristic: after refining, only pure wind and thunder spiritual energy remained, which was very suitable for thunder cultivators to absorb into their bodies, and the effect was not much worse than the heavenly tribulation.

But the power of the heavenly tribulation could not be used to refine this kind of low-grade dharma treasure, while Wind Thunder Demon Gold could, so this kind of metal material was very rare. In the Four Great Continents, Xu Que could hardly see a single piece, but he didn't expect to be able to get so many pieces in this tower of the City Lord's Mansion in Baihui City of the Earth Continent.

"Sizzle!"

The moment the strange fire emerged, an electric arc instantly shot up from the Wind Thunder Demon Gold, releasing wisps of white smoke.

Xu Que didn't hesitate and immediately used the "Artifact Refining Essence" in the system to assist!

According to the grade of the material, Xu Que could use at most 10,000 points of Artifact Refining Essence to assist in the refining step. Just after consuming these 10,000 points of Artifact Refining Essence, Xu Que clearly felt that the pressure of his refining was greatly reduced.

Previously, he needed to concentrate when refining, and even a moment of distraction would lead to failure, but now he felt that even if he watched a Japanese movie while refining, he wouldn't need to worry about failure at all.

The role of Artifact Refining Essence was to simplify and accelerate the efficiency of refining to the greatest extent.

"So awesome!"

Xu Que felt a great surprise at this kind of imagination, and even in this process, he vaguely felt that his control and proficiency in refining were constantly improving.

This was equivalent to transforming this cheating ability into his own ability while cheating. It was simply the artifact refining version of "Mom no longer has to worry about my studies"!
