Chapter 85: Refining a Deity Transformation Stage Dharma Treasure

Ye Xiuxiu and Bai Qingxia stepped into the room together,

The moment the door closed,

Ye Xiuxiu immediately walked to the table, eager to start assembling the necklace she had long desired.

Only her slender fingers were seen swiftly extending,

She accurately seized the necklace flashing with dazzling bright silver light.

This necklace was exquisitely crafted,

On it was delicately designed a small, exquisite claw-shaped ornament, its size just right,

It could firmly grasp the slightly indented part at the exact center of the palm-sized round shield.

Ye Xiuxiu focused entirely, her hands deftly manipulating the necklace and shield,

As if an experienced artisan were carving a rare treasure.

In the blink of an eye, as a faint "click" sound rang out,

The necklace and shield perfectly joined together,

As if made in heaven.

The two items that originally existed independently,

Now merged into one, becoming a magnificent necklace.

After completing the task, Ye Xiuxiu could not hide her joy, the corners of her mouth lifting into a brilliant smile.

She carefully held up the necklace she had just finished making by hand, as if it were the world's most precious treasure.

Afterwards, she gently placed the necklace around her neck,

and carefully adjusted its position,

so that it hung perfectly before her chest, flashing with captivating brilliance.

After admiring it for a moment, Ye Xiuxiu nodded in satisfaction,

being very pleased with her work.

However, despite having successfully crafted such an exquisite necklace,

she did not immediately proceed to the next step of artifact forging.

Because she understood that to smoothly complete the subsequent, more complex and difficult forging process,

she first needed to ensure she had abundant spiritual energy as support. Thus,

Ye Xiuxiu decisively sat cross-legged on the ground, eyes tightly shut,

entering a cultivation state.

She quietly adjusted her breathing rhythm,

guiding the spiritual energy in her meridians to circulate slowly,

bit by bit replenishing the energy previously expended...

Time quietly passed,

After two hours,

Ye Xiuxiu finally took out, with care, the mysterious storage bag given to her by her grandfather Ye Songzhi.

She gently lifted the bag,

focusing her mind to sense the various precious materials stored inside.

After a moment,

When she initially sensed the myriad items within the storage bag,

Ye Xiuxiu involuntarily opened her eyes, her pupils contracting instantly from surprise.

The mountain‑piled forging materials before her were far too abundant and rare,

merely a tiny fraction leaking out from within,

their quality far surpassed all the treasures she had previously scavenged from her second uncle.

After a thorough search,

Ye Xiuxiu discovered that most of these materials were actually of Deity Transformation Stage level, accounting for about three‑quarters of the total;

even more surprising, a full one‑quarter of the materials had reached the Body Integration Stage level.

However, what shocked her most was,

among these numerous materials,

there existed an extremely tiny portion, exceedingly rare yet priceless,

which had already reached the Tribulation Crossing Stage level.

Faced with such a multitude of peerless treasures,

Ye Xiuxiu could not help but let out a heartfelt exclamation from deep within: "Good heavens, just how many treasures are hidden in here!"

It is precisely thanks to these top‑grade material advantages,

that she has sufficient confidence and assurance to successfully forge the item her grandfather hoped to obtain.

After all, if one were to use only Deity Transformation Stage materials for forging, the task would be nearly impossible,

only by skillfully utilizing Body Integration Stage materials,

and combining them with Deity Transformation, Nascent Soul, and Golden Core Stage materials of various levels,

through carefully adjusting the proportions and employing unique forging techniques,

can the excessively high strength of the Body Integration Stage materials be effectively reduced to the Deity Transformation Stage level,

thereby achieving the final forging goal.

To forge a finished product with flaws from originally fine materials,

This way, refining will become much easier.

However, even so,

Most of the steps still require reliance on that mysterious and powerful Heaven-Earth Creation Cauldron.

After all, given Ye Xiuxiu's current abilities,

she can at most successfully refine materials of Golden Core Stage level.

So, without the assistance of this great cauldron,

attempting to complete this task would be nothing short of a daydream!

As everyone knows, the higher the quality and the more outstanding the function of the Refining Great Cauldron,

the greater the assistance it naturally provides.

Ye Xiuxiu briefly contemplated the specific procedure in her mind,

without hesitation, she placed a piece of rare material from a Body Integration Stage expert into the Heaven-Earth Creation Cauldron.

This material is not ordinary; it contains a unique spatial power within,

making it one of the excellent materials for crafting storage-type Magic Treasures.

At the moment that precious material fell into the cauldron,

a blazing yellow flame suddenly shot up inside the Heaven-Earth Creation Cauldron.

This roaring flame, as if alive, greedily licked the material inside the cauldron.

Moreover, this scorching lasted a full three hours! During this period,

Ye Xiuxiu dared not be the slightest bit lax,

she exerted herself to maintain a full state of internal spiritual energy,

by various means extending the time needed for refinement,

and at the same time trying every way to reduce the consumption rate of spiritual energy.

At the same time, she secretly activated the Hongmeng Creation Scripture technique she had cultivated for a long time,

to help her recover the expended spiritual energy more quickly.

When the Body Integration Stage material was successfully refined,

Ye Xiuxiu carefully began adding Deity Transformation Stage material into it.

She first placed a piece of Deity Transformation Stage material,

after it was completely refined, she then immediately added a second piece, a third piece, and so on,

she consecutively added four different types of Deity Transformation Stage material.

Although this method uses weaker materials to lower the tier of stronger ones, the prerequisite is that these materials' functions are relatively similar.

Otherwise, such an operation would not only fail to achieve the intended effect,

but would instead become a disruptive act.

As the Deity Transformation Stage materials were successively added,

the strength of the material originally from the Body Integration Stage gradually decreased.

at the same time, the difficulty of subsequently shaping it also decreased.

Next, it was time to add a large amount of Nascent Soul Stage material.

Since the quantity of material to be added was numerous,

Ye Xiuxiu had to control the Heaven-Earth Creation Cauldron,

causing its volume to increase slightly.

Initially, she merely increased the space a little to accommodate those Nascent Soul Stage materials.

However, as more and more low-grade materials were added in,

the space inside the Heaven-Earth Creation Cauldron became increasingly cramped.

Thus, Ye Xiuxiu continued to control the cauldron furnace, letting its volume keep expanding.

From the initial slight increase to the later gradual expansion,

finally, the volume of the Heaven-Earth Creation Cauldron actually grew to the size of half a room!
