Chapter 52: For Heavenly Dao Merit! Learning the Method of Refining!

As soon as he opened the Chat Group, Lu Yun discovered that he had missed several more messages about group members dying!

After taking a quick look at the chat content, he found that these deceased group members were not entirely new members; one of them was actually a veteran! This couldn't help but make his heart feel a chill.

Sure enough, he still couldn't afford to be negligent, otherwise, he might end up following in their footsteps! Glancing at the Points Mall, he saw that the bamboo he had uploaded earlier had been snapped up by everyone again!

Besides that, some beast bones he had listed previously had also been bought by others.

The points in his account suddenly increased by over a million.

This made him sigh: Sure enough, resources from the Great Desolation are in high demand! As long as I work hard to survive in the Great Desolation, I don't need to worry about not having enough points!

While thinking about this, Lu Yun listed another batch of bamboo! In fact, he could have listed more at once, but wasn't this about creating a bit of hunger marketing? Only in this way would everyone be unable to resist snapping them up, and he could also take this opportunity to build his presence in the group and trigger more tasks! Sure enough, just as he listed the new batch of bamboo and the group notification appeared, the group members who were originally chatting about other things all immediately turned their attention to him again.

Xiao Ling'er: "Lu Yun, you're finally here! Everyone was just hoping you could upload more Spirit Bamboo!"

Liu Chongxiao: "Haha, these Spirit Bamboo are so useful! I refined several high-grade Talisman Swords, and they just happened to come in handy for slaying a batch of ghost beasts!"

Jiang Ye: "@Lu Yun, you didn't just run off to cut bamboo, did you!"

Lu Yun: "Of course not, I just went to study the Culinary Dao Inheritance, and I gained a lot! I think if everyone is interested in culinary arts, you can all find Brother Yin Yan to purchase a copy. The effect is too good; I became a God of Cooking in just one night!"

Fang Wenjie: "... Is there a possibility that it's not that we don't want to buy it, but that we can't afford it?"

Chen Hai: "Can't afford it, simply can't afford it!"

Lin Yan: "If Brother Yin Yan is willing to be a bit cheaper, I'm still willing to contribute the lace I drew earlier!"

Yin Yan: "I have no such luck to enjoy that, keep it for yourself to play with!"

As soon as Lu Yun saw the topic starting to drift, he immediately began to steer it back.

Lu Yun: "Esteemed experts, I want to learn refining now. Does anyone have any suggestions?"

Ling Yan: "Hmm? Why are you suddenly wanting to learn refining?"

Lu Yun: "Isn't it because I'm preparing to host a banquet? I discovered that the Great Desolation doesn't even have kitchenware, so shouldn't I refine some properly?"

He wasn't just saying this casually; it was because he really thought so.

Originally, he had obtained a Kitchenware Compendium from a lucky draw, but he didn't intend to take it out and use it directly.

Because if he took out ready-made items, he wouldn't obtain Heavenly Dao Merit!

Conversely, if he refined a complete set of kitchenware and tableware directly within the Great Desolation, Heavenly Dao Merit would naturally not be lacking! Yin Yan: "Not bad, a workman must sharpen his tools if he is to do his work well! For the Culinary Dao to be fully utilized, a good set of kitchenware is also indispensable!"

Lu Yun: "Then is there any shortcut for refining, similar to the one for culinary arts?"

Lin Chen: "You want a shortcut for the Dao of Refining? That's too whimsical! You must know that when this skill is cultivated to the highest realm, one can even refine worlds, or even the Cosmos Stage! If it could really be mastered as a shortcut, wouldn't that be incredible?"

Lu Yun: "But I just want to refine some pots, bowls, and ladles; I assume I shouldn't need to master overly profound refining skills for that, right?"

Once these words were said, everyone fell silent.

Thinking about it carefully, it really was the case!

Lin Chen: "Then you can find Qiu Wanli for this matter; this guy is a refining master! @Qiu Wanli!"

Qiu Wanli: "I'm here, I'm here! Shortcut for refining skills? I can't provide a shortcut for anything too high-level, but for basic things, I can indeed help you master them quickly!"

Lin Chen: "What method do you want to use? Could it be inherited memory? You shouldn't be able to extract your own memories to give to others as an inheritance yet, right!" Qiu Wanli: "I indeed can't extract my own memories, but I can go and extract someone else's! I'm going to go find someone right now to extract a copy of 'Refining Insights'!"

Lin Chen: "Damn, you're going to forcibly find a refining master to extract memories? Aren't you afraid you'll drive the person crazy!"

Qiu Wanli: "Don't worry! Although this guy is a bit of a fool, his luck has always been good, so I assume he shouldn't end up crazy, right?"

Ming Xi: "What if his luck just happened to be bad recently?"

Qiu Wanli: "Then blame his bad luck; it's not my responsibility anyway!"

Everyone: "..."

Lu Yun had originally thought about persuading Qiu Wanli not to harm the innocent.

But before he could speak—

"Ding! Received suggestion: Purchase 'Refining Insights', Reward: one Fine Treasure Chest!"

Lu Yun felt a bit conflicted.

For him right now, the value of a Fine Treasure Chest was still very high!

Therefore, he hesitated about whether to continue persuading Qiu Wanli.

As it turned out, Qiu Wanli actually listed a new item directly: one copy of 'Refining Insights', priced at one million points!

Lu Yun couldn't help but click his tongue; this execution speed was too astonishing! Now he could only silently pray that the person whose memory Qiu Wanli extracted would definitely survive.

Anyway, it was too late for him to try to dissuade him now.

Subsequently, Lu Yun opened the Points Mall and bought the so-called 'Refining Insights'.

"Ding! You followed the advice and obtained: one Fine Treasure Chest!"

Lu Yun wasn't in a hurry to extract what he had purchased, but instead asked another question in the group.

Lu Yun: "There is another matter, which is that I want to find a cultivation technique suitable for the Primordial Human Race to practice, so I can pass it on to them later. What technique do you all think is better to buy?"

He knew that everyone would definitely have a lot of discussion about this.

During this time, he didn't want to waste time, so after sending the message, he immediately extracted the 'Refining Insights'.

Instantly, a vast amount of knowledge regarding refining surged into his mind.

The things that could be refined with this 'Refining Insights' were indeed nothing special, at most reaching the level of Supreme Spirit Tool.

Such things were the most basic magic treasures in the current Great Desolation! But Lu Yun didn't mind, because this skill was perfectly sufficient for him to refine some knives, tableware, and the like!

Lu Yun began to receive this memory inheritance with satisfaction.

Not long after, he had mastered the part he needed first, and he prepared to study the rest slowly later.

And before he prepared to start taking formal action, he thought of the Fine Treasure Chest he had just obtained.

Open it first! "Congratulations to the host, you have obtained: one volume of Ore Atlas Compendium!"

I've been busy moving these past two days, so updates have been a bit sluggish; starting tomorrow, I will resume two updates per day.
