Chapter 84: Refining a Deity Transformation Stage Magic Treasure?

Ye Songzhi discovered that the only viable path before him was the second one.

Although he had decided on the direction, implementing it proved fraught with difficulties.

The biggest obstacle was that magic treasures capable of storing spiritual qi were extremely rare and precious.

In recent years, even Ye Qingping, a Body Integration Stage powerhouse, had spared no effort helping him search everywhere for such magic treasures.

Yet the results were disappointing; after immense hardship he had managed to gather only two.

By contrast, the various materials used for refining magic treasures were harvested in abundance, accumulating a considerable quantity.

What was frustrating, however,

was that he could never find a skilled and suitable artifact craftsman to turn these precious materials into usable magic treasures.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiuxiu froze,

a flicker of astonishment crossing her beautiful eyes:

"A magic treasure for storing spiritual qi at the Deity Transformation Stage?"

Immediately, a look of difficulty appeared on her pretty face,

and she whispered:

"Grandfather, although refining such a magic treasure is not completely impossible for me, with my current cultivation I am indeed still far from enough!"

After a brief pause, Ye Xiuxiu continued explaining:

"At my present level, being able to successfully refine a perfect-quality Nascent Soul Stage great completion single-use magic treasure is already pushing my limits."

"To go further, unless I can smoothly advance to the Golden Core Stage and successfully condense a golden core."

"Only then might there be a sliver of possibility—please note,"

"merely a possibility—of refining a perfect-quality Deity Transformation Stage great completion magic treasure."

At that moment, Ye Songzhi let out a long sigh.

He silently thought to himself:

Indeed, my earlier thoughts were overly idealistic.

I actually imagined asking my granddaughter, who had only just broken through Foundation Building not long ago, to help me refine such a high-level magic treasure,

which is nothing short of daydreaming!

However,

the next instant, Ye Songzhi suddenly seemed to realize something, his whole body shaking.

"No way!"

He muttered to himself,

"When did I ever demand that it must be a perfect-quality Deity Transformation Stage great completion storage-spiritual-qi magic treasure?"

"Actually, such high quality is not needed at all..."

Thinking this, Ye Songzhi couldn't help but shake his head and give a self-mocking laugh.

It seems I have been dazed by the difficulties before me,

to the point of not even clarifying the most basic requirements.

It really doesn't need to be that good.

"Xiuxiu, I'm afraid you misunderstood my meaning."

Ye Songzhi explained solemnly:

"I mean a Deity Transformation Stage early-stage magic treasure used solely for storing spiritual qi will do."

"Moreover, the quality need not be high; even a defective product is completely fine."

"Even a single-use one is acceptable,"

"After all, we can win by quantity—if one treasure's quality is insufficient, we can prepare several more, ten, even a hundred."

Hearing this, Ye Xiuxiu couldn't help but tilt her little head,

falling into deep thought.

She racked her brain for various plans and possibilities,

wondering how she could meet her grandfather's demands.

After a while,

Ye Xiuxiu's eyes suddenly flashed a glimmer of light,

but soon that glimmer dimmed away.

"Well... theoretically, it is indeed possible to refine such a magic treasure."

Ye Xiuxiu said hesitantly:

"However... doing so would consume an enormous amount of materials."

Before Ye Xiuxiu could finish, the anxious Ye Songzhi beside her interjected eagerly:

"It's fine, it's fine!"

"As long as we ultimately succeed in refining it, what does it matter if we use more materials?"

While saying this,

he took out all the artifact-refining materials he had cherished for many years,

handed them to Ye Xiuxiu,

looking at her with eager anticipation, earnestly saying:

"Xiuxiu, Grandfather now entrusts you with all my artifact-refining materials—go ahead and give it a try; you might just succeed!"

"This matter is truly very important to Grandfather!"

Ye Xiuxiu looked at the storage bag Ye Songzhi handed over,

I felt my grandfather's full trust and expectations.

She lightly nodded and answered firmly:

"Well then, grandfather, since you trust me so much, I'll give it a try."

"But I have to say first, I can't guarantee a hundred percent success."

Ye Songzhi smiled and rubbed Ye Xiuxiu's head, encouraging her:

"Grandfather certainly believes in you! As long as you do your best, the result doesn't matter."

The system's voice suddenly sounded in Ye Xiuxiu's mind,

【Your grandfather Ye Songzhi, over ten years ago when he was breaking through from the Void Refining Stage to the Body Integration Stage, suffered an attack from external enemies, causing severe damage to the Ye Family Ancestral Land. Until he lowered his own cultivation, falling at the peak of the Deity Transformation Stage, great perfection, and stopped breaking through. If you can help your grandfather Ye Songzhi refine a Deity Transformation Stage Magic Treasure capable of storing spiritual energy, to help him store spiritual energy for use when he is weak in the Void Refining Stage, he will surely be delighted.】

【Mission: Refine a Deity Transformation Stage Magic Treasure that can store spiritual energy for your grandfather Ye Songzhi.】

【Mission Reward: Top-grade Confucian Way technique, the Confucian Character Law Seal (later upgradable to the Confucian Character Secret Technique, then to the Confucian Character Divine Ability).】

Upon hearing the system's voice,

Ye Xiuxiu's eyes lit up!

"Wow, this news is fantastic!"

Ye Xiuxiu couldn't help but shout excitedly in her heart,

"I never expected such a coincidence to happen,"

"Two things just happened to meet like this!"

According to the system,

Due to his severe lack of stored spiritual energy during the Void Refining Stage,

it ultimately led to the disaster that caused heavy losses to the Ye Family.

Thinking of this, Ye Xiuxiu couldn't help but feel a chill of fear,

but at the same time she was glad she could learn of this in advance,

and take appropriate measures to prevent it.

The system's timing is truly perfect.

"Grandfather, rest assured! When I return home, I will devote myself wholeheartedly to artifact crafting, striving to help you successfully refine the needed Magic Treasure as soon as possible."

She quickly put away the Heaven-Earth Creation Cauldron,

and without hesitation grabbed Bai Qingxia's hand, heading toward where the two of them lived.

She eagerly said, "Mother, let's hurry back home!"

"We must seize the time to refine that crucial Magic Treasure for grandfather!"

Bai Qingxia smiled and greeted the people present,

and followed Ye Xiuxiu's steps as they left.
