Chapter 259

Wang Ping'an's thought stirred, he put away the sword apparatus in front of him that had been continuously nurtured twice, then a storage bag appeared in his palm, and the next second three jade slips were taken out from the storage bag.

It is precisely the method of laying out the Small Five Elements Sword Formation, the formation diagram and the method of refining the formation base.

Ding! You have carefully studied 'Advanced Formation: Small Five Elements Sword Formation Laying Method', congratulations on obtaining reward: Formation: Small Five Elements Sword Formation 【Entry Level】!

Ding! Congratulations on opening the formation column!

Wang Ping'an casually attached a jade slip to his mind, a vast consciousness overflowed from the jade slip, permeating his mind; when he studied it carefully, two mechanical, cold sounds sounded in his mind.

Ding! You have carefully studied 'Advanced Formation: Small Five Elements Sword Formation Diagram Refining Method', congratulations on obtaining reward: Treasure: Small Five Elements Sword Formation Diagram 【Entry Level】!

Ding! You have carefully studied 'Advanced Formation: Small Five Elements Sword Formation Five Elements Law Sword (Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth high-grade magical artifacts) Refining Method', congratulations on obtaining reward: Magical Artifact: Five Elements Law Sword 【Entry Level】!

Wang Ping'an had just obtained the method of laying out the Five Elements Sword Formation, without hastily upgrading proficiency, he casually discarded the broken jade slips on the ground, letting the World Pearl devour them, and then he again attached another two sword apparatuses to his forehead.

At this moment.

When Wang Ping'an saw 'Merit: 6315' on the system panel, this was the merit he had painstakingly accumulated; his eyes lit up instantly, without any hesitation, he directly upgraded the proficiency of laying out the Small Five Elements Sword Formation, the formation diagram and the refinement of the formation base.

Ding! You consumed ten points of Merit, upgraded Formation: Small Five Elements Sword Formation, Entry Level → Proficiency!

Ding! You consumed one hundred points of Merit, upgraded Formation: Small Five Elements Sword Formation, Proficiency → Mastery!

Ding! You consumed one thousand points of Merit, upgraded Formation: Small Five Elements Sword Formation, Mastery → Cultivation!

As Wang Ping'an touched the flashing golden '+' sign behind the Formation: Small Five Elements Sword Formation, mechanical, cold sounds rang out in his mind, and simultaneously, more and more methods of laying out the Small Five Elements Sword Formation appeared in his mind.

It was as if a formation master was personally instructing, teaching hand‑in‑hand.

After a long while, Wang Ping'an absorbed the extra knowledge, suppressing his urge to act, he then touched the '+' sign behind the Treasure: Small Five Elements Sword Formation Diagram and the Treasure: Five Elements Law Sword again.

In Wang Ping'an's mind, a series of mechanical, cold sounds sounded again; as the two treasures, their proficiency was all upgraded to Cultivation, and only then did the originally flashing golden '+' sign dim.

Not long after.

Wang Ping'an likewise absorbed the two streams of extra knowledge, just like a refining master personally instructing, teaching him hand‑in‑hand how to refine the Small Five Elements Sword Formation Diagram and the Five Elements Law Sword.

Just as Wang Ping'an's thought moved, wanting to take out the materials for the Small Five Elements Sword Formation Diagram and the Five Elements Law Sword, taking advantage of the time to refine a set of the Small Five Elements Sword Formation.

His gaze saw that in the storage bag Hu Rui had given him, there was a furnace, and beside the furnace there was also a jade slip.

Wang Ping'an's thought moved, the furnace appeared inside the World Pearl, and he exclaimed in surprise: 'Is this a refining furnace?'

Afterward.

Wang Ping'an's gaze fell on the jade slip beside the furnace; he instinctively reached out, picked it up, and attached it to his mind.

Ding! You have carefully studied 'Nine Yang True Fire', congratulations on obtaining reward: Skill: Nine Yang True Fire 【Entry Level】!

A mechanical, cold sound rang out in his mind, and Wang Ping'an's expression instantly became extremely complex; whether it was the refining furnace or this Nine Yang True Fire, it was obviously specially prepared for him by Hu Rui.

Nine Yang True Fire is a superior fire‑control technique; whether refining magical artifacts or concocting pills, it is remarkably effective, increasing the success rate.

Although he did not know the value of this Nine Yang True Fire and the refining furnace, coming from Hu Rui's hands, even if she regarded it as a free gift.

They could not possibly be ordinary items!

Precisely, regardless of whether it was Nine Yang True Fire or this refining furnace, Hu Rui did not tell him; it seemed she was worried he would refuse.

He knew that Hu Rui would do this because he had investment value, so Hu Rui would be generous.

First she allowed him to buy the Small Five Elements Sword Formation on credit; now she didn't even say a word, directly giving him a refining furnace and a fire‑control technique to help him increase his refining success rate.

But he still felt deeply grateful to Hu Rui in his heart!

He and Hu Rui had no personal ties, and even their races were different; although he had utilitarian value, not everyone would be as valuable as Hu Rui.

In this life he hasn't lived long, but in his previous life he knew that the richer a person is, the stingier they become, even quarreling over every penny.

Of course.

Not all wealthy people are stingy; some wealthy people are very generous toward those of value, but it cannot be said that all such wealthy people will succeed.

At least eighty percent can succeed!

Hu Rui being able to do such things, he believes, Hu Rui's success is imminent, and doing business with Hu Rui will certainly not shortchange him.

"Even though I clearly know you are doing this because I have utilitarian value, I don't know why, but deep down I am still moved; perhaps this is a yang scheme!"

Wang Ping'an couldn't help but sigh, secretly making a resolution that from now on, as long as no accident occurs, whether it's the talismans he draws, the magical artifacts he refines, or the pills he concocts, he will sell them to Hu Rui if he can.

This novel you have reached

He believes that with Hu Rui's generosity, he will certainly not be shortchanged.

He and Hu Rui have had little contact; he initially wanted to do business with Hu Rui because she was willing to spend a lot of money, and only now has he begun to trust Hu Rui.

Perhaps…

This is also what Hu Rui wants!

He doesn't care whether he has fallen into Hu Rui's scheme; as long as he himself is not shortchanged, what does it matter if Hu Rui schemes against him? They are both winners.

Ding! You consumed ten points of Merit, upgraded Skill: Nine Yang True Fire, Entry Level → Proficiency!

Ding! You consumed one hundred points of Merit, upgraded Skill: Nine Yang True Fire, Proficiency → Mastery!

Ding! You consumed one thousand points of Merit, upgraded Skill: Nine Yang True Fire, Mastery → Cultivation!

Wang Ping'an eagerly upgraded Nine Yang True Fire to the Cultivation stage; after absorbing the newly acquired knowledge about Nine Yang True Fire, he eagerly took out a large pile of materials from the storage bag.

It is nothing but the method of refining the Small Five Elements Sword Formation Diagram and the Five Elements Law Sword!

He prepared to try refining it!

Coincidentally, he had this refining furnace, he also obtained a fire‑control technique, and having upgraded it to the Cultivation stage, it could greatly increase the success rate of refining magical artifacts.

However.

Wang Ping'an dared not be careless; he prepared to start with the simplest refining of the Five Elements Law Sword.

The Five Elements Law Sword consists of five swords with the five elemental attributes, five high‑grade magical artifact flying swords of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Wang Ping'an took a deep breath, exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, waited for his mind to clear, then he picked up a piece of high‑grade metal‑attribute iron ore, threw it into the refining furnace, activated the skill Nine Yang True Fire, and began the first step of refining a high‑grade metal‑attribute flying sword.
