Nevertheless, his Flying Sword Blue Edge had always been silent.

It immediately transformed into its physical form and made a \"clang\" sound, which was a surprising sword sound. It flew over in the blink of an eye and landed in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding Blue Edge Sword in his hand, Li Jing raised his eyebrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the sword was not in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he could partially sense the changes in Flying Sword Blue Edge through the connection between him and his Lifebound Magic Instrument, it was not very detailed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, including Flying Sword Blue Edge, all of them had been \"free-ranged\" in the Little Universe rather than nourished inside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he had it in his hand, Li Jing immediately understood its changes, causing his eyebrows to rise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spirit Weapon Qingfeng had truly understood two Powers of Rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was Wind Breeze, the other was Sharp Thorn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wind Breeze Rule was an extension of the basic Wind Rule.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From a sensory perspective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wind Breeze Rule, when considered individually, is a middle-of-the-road type. However, when it is placed on Flying Sword Blue Edge, it fits its Wind Attribute perfectly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Rule, combined with the inherent Wind Attribute of Blue Edge, makes it stand out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rule of Wind Breeze has greatly enhanced the Flying Sword Blue Edge’s ability to control wind. No longer like before, it was only capable of unleashing sharp wind blades, but it has become subtle and hard to detect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the typically ignored light breeze could become fatal under its influence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, it comes to the Rule of Sharp Thorn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This rule was quite unique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s a special rule designated for sharp instruments, and its effect makes the sharp tools even sharper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This seemingly simple rule could make sharp instruments cut through anything when sufficiently influenced by the Power of Rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This rule was the perfect match for the enhancement of object types like the Flying Sword!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Releasing the Flying Sword Blue Edge to transform into the Spirit Weapon, Li Jing smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad, keep working hard. I’m looking forward to the day you achieve the Taoist Tool.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spirit Weapon Qingfeng nodded slightly, not uttering a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was always somewhat aloof.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, at this moment, he couldn’t suppress the proud smile that crept up at the corner of his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His own flying sword was rather of a taciturn type, which Li Jing understood very well. So, he reacted with nonchalance and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next, I’m going to refine an artifact, and if everything goes well, you and Linglong should have a new little brother or sister.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Spirit Weapon Qingfeng was slightly stunned hearing this, then he realized what had been said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A new little brother or sister, Li Jing meant to create another artifact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obviously, Spirit Weapon Qingfeng would not object to this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the one hand, it was Li Jing’s decision, and on the other hand, as long as it didn’t affect his own use and there was no risk of him losing favor, having more spirit weapons for his master could make things more lively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was hard for a spirit weapon to find common ground with humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with their own masters, it was no exception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, constantly chatting with their master every now and then could greatly disrupt their normal life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it’s different when there are multiple spirit weapons together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When feeling bored, spirit weapons can communicate with each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without saying a word, Spirit Weapon Qingfeng questioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you need me to stay and protect you, master?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need, just go back to the heritage stele and continue your meditation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing waved his hand and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the Little Universe, no one can bother me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having received this answer, Spirit Weapon Qingfeng nodded again and then turned into a stream of light and vanished into the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing watched him leave, sensed slightly, and then his face turned dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ya’er was not taken to the Immortal Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main reason is that the little girl is still in the Eighth Realm, and she herself is a spiritual beast who prefers to be close to humans rather than monstrous beasts with strong independent wills. Going to the Immortal Realm is not suitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that doesn’t mean Li Jing abandoned her, the crucial point is that her strength is not enough for her to roam around. There’s a chance that she might be captured as a pet or that someone might take a liking to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would be troublesome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s always best to avoid what can be avoided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing is not indifferent to Ya’er who he \"picked up\", but after weighing pros and cons, he thinks it’s better to wait for her to reach the Ninth Realm before letting her out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just before refining artifacts, as a father, he cared for Ya’er, who was \"being raised\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mindset of this father blew...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Ya’er, in her golden-eyed cat form, was fooling around with Stinky Tofu, a cat and a dog together, tumbling and catching fish in a muddy pit in a very remote part of the Little Universe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was covered in mud, and even had a barbecuing rack set up beside her with a few sturdy monster bodies being roasted on it...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How can Li Jing’s face not be dark?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s tolerable if they only disturb the living beings in the Little Universe, that’s the secondary issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Life evolves according to the rule of survival of the fittest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An excessively comfortable life would make the evolution of life extremely slow or even stagnant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only when a crisis exists, can they progress more quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, no matter how powerful or potentially useful the life born in the Little Universe is, Li Jing will not interfere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s happening now,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is a disaster caused by humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be precise, it’s a disaster caused by beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is what they are destined to experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Li Jing cannot accept is...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ya’er likes to mess around with Stinky Tofu instead of practicing diligently, making her almost no different from a husky!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How can this work out?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stinky Tofu, that’s something Chen Yuran has given up on!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just keep on living, don’t bother about the rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hopeless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only is this creature a famous mooching spirit beast, but its true nature is essentially a husky...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not a question of whether Chen Yuran wants to push it to become stronger, but its nature is predetermined not to be suitable for ordinary cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Ya’er spends all her time with Stinky Tofu, how can she succeed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing waved his hand without saying a word, summoning the bitterly soiled Ya’er over from a distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ya’er, who had just caught a fish and was about to bounce back to the shore with it in her mouth, froze when she saw it was Li Jing that hooked her neck. She then lowered her head submissively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Li family,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ya’er is remarkably spoilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First of all, this little creature is really cute, and besides, she has a sweet mouth, always calling everyone \"mum\". Not only does Chen Yuran, who already has a soft spot for her, spoil her to the extreme, but even others outside the Li family like Jiang Yini would feed her tasty things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the collective \"teaching\" of everyone, Ya’er’s nature is now quite human-like.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, she’s being treated like a child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s hard for her to maintain the natural freedom of a spirit beast, and Li Jing and the other adults wouldn’t allow her to behave like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As her nature is close to that of a human child, naturally she knows to think about whether she has done something wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although knowing one is wrong and actually correcting it are two different things, but at least she knows to admit her mistake to her parents when she does something wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Ya’er immediately becoming submissive in his hand, Li Jing twitched the corner of his mouth. He wanted to lecture her, but could barely bring himself to do so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being a father is really a bit difficult\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a heavy sigh, Li Jing took the fish from Ya’er’s mouth and threw it into a nearby pool. Then he rolled his eyes, casually brought the little creature to the location of the Heritage Stele and dropped her into her VIP spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meditating on the Heritage Stele has limited benefits for increasing one’s cultivation level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless one has insights that can boost one’s cultivation level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that’s quite rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main thing is, insights come in a variety of forms, and those that can directly boost one’s cultivation level are relatively rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Ya’er doesn’t know to cultivate diligently when she’s being raised, he can only restrict her for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would you believe it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing didn’t say a word, he just sent Ya’er away directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little creature probably sensed that her father was very frustrated, so she obediently sat in her VIP position with a sad face and stared at the Heritage Stele.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t really have a choice in some ways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Seven-Star Formation that Li Jing had set up for her was still in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once thrown in, she was stuck there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After dispatching Ya’er, Li Jing meditated again and after much hesitation did not interfere with Stinky Tofu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This creature is really beyond saving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, it even has its head buried under the water, searching for fish holding its breath, not realizing Ya’er has been taken away by him...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s fortunate that Stinky Tofu is a spirit beast, otherwise, it would have suffocated to death long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, Li Jing also didn’t know what to do with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Send it to the Heritage Stele?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This creature certainly won’t calm down, and it might end up affecting Ya’er.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If left elsewhere, its playful nature will definitely cause some trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, Stinky Tofu managed to just enter the Four Realm. The Spiritual Beasts that Li Jing had earlier brought into the Little Universe couldn’t compete with it. It might even venture to tease those creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would be a loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After much contemplation, it seems better to let it roam freely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Retracting his thoughts and calming his mind, Li Jing exhaled softly to ease the stifling feeling, taking out a storage bag and a Seal bag from Tong Xiaoxiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, he checked the storage bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were many materials inside, and the quality was quite good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was worth ninety thousand top grade Immortal Crystals, the quality and quantity were certainly not lacking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took out the formula stored separately inside and glanced at it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tong Xiaoxiao had given him three formulas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All three were for disposable magic tools. After refining, the magic tool would at least be of Spirit Device Level 8 quality with some spirituality. However, it had a very low chance of birthing a Spirit Weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three formulas were rather impressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a magic tool was crafted to Spirit level or above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless intentionally crafted without spirituality, a Spirit Weapon would usually be born.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the three formulas all tried to minimize spirituality from the configuration of materials, effectively lowering the chance of creating a Spirit Weapon while increasing the success rate of crafting and facilitating mass production.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such magic tools were usually used as disposable explosive devices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The formulas given by Tong Xiaoxiao to Li Jing were all conventional explosive device formulas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weak spirituality made them more controllable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the power after detonation was greater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These three formulas, while basically having slight variations in materials proportions, gave entirely different shapes and explosion effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were the three options Tong Xiaoxiao gave to Li Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could refine whichever he liked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing quickly skimmed through and decisively chose a formula called \"Thunder Element Sword\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It involved his proficient Thunder Skill, how could he not choose it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the other magic tools would not be weak if successfully crafted, the Thunder Skill in his hands provided a special boost, allowing for more significant power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For this disposable explosive item, the greater the power, the higher the price, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened the Seal bag and quickly found the Heavenly Treasure that allowed Taoist Items to control rules among the pile of materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Heavenly Treasure was thread-like.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While emanating a hint of coldness, there seemed to be a sound of strings echoing inside of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thought, Li Jing’s eyes turned golden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Eye of True Vision examined, providing him with feedback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snow Sound Spirit Thread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It contained the rules of ice, snow, and sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Receiving this feedback, Li Jing was instantly shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the other Heavenly Treasures that allowed magic tools to control a rule looked like, he didn’t know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this item, which contained three rules, was definitely a rare and valuable treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If all are awakened during the making of the tool, wouldn’t the resulting tool directly become a complete Taoist Item!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Phoenix Sun City Lord really did spare no effort...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crucial point was that this was a gift for someone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took out the formula from the Seal bag and Li Jing frowned slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This formula was for crafting a guzheng, a traditional musical instrument.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this most likely to be gifted to a woman?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems like.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Phoenix Sun City Lord is preparing a big gift for his beloved...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having figured this out, aside from Li Jing wondering who the recipient would be, he couldn’t help but sincerely sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cost of pursuing a girl in the Immortal Realm seems a bit high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaking his head, Li Jing stuffed the guzheng formula back into the Seal bag, and from the storage bag, he took out materials for ten Thunder Element Swords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Refining a Half-step Taoist Artifact certainly posed a challenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t in a hurry to start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would first practice with disposable magic tools.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Throwing out materials for ten Thunder Element Swords, Li Jing’s Cultivation level instantly activated at high speed, and the surrounding Thunder Element Spirit Energy was immediately attracted to gather in large quantities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lifting his hand and snapping his fingers, a red electric arc shot out from Li Jing’s fingertip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scorching Fire Thunder instantly melted and purified materials for ten Thunder Element Swords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without any hesitation, Li Jing clenched his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten Thunder Element Swords were formed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Tong Xiaoxiao were here, she would undoubtedly be astounded by his efficient artifact refining technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Star Picker Elder, who had already witnessed it once, would likely pop out their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The key was that it was too seamless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to when Li Jing previously refined the Array Eye of Seven-Star Formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, he refined ten items in one breath without mention, but it was done so casually, the speed was so fast that one didn’t even have time to blink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing himself was a bit surprised right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This refining process was too easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was not solely due to the fact that the result was only at the Spirit tier, but also because the formula itself enhanced the efficiency and probability of success.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally when refining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Li Jing wouldn’t be much slower, it would still take some time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waving his hand to assemble the ten Thunder Element Swords in front of him, Li Jing inspected them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten Thunder Element Swords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Six were of Spirit Tier Level Nine, one was of Spirit Tier Level Ten, and three were of the formula’s minimum quality: Spirit Tier Level 8.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spirituality they possessed was very low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the hidden Thunder Element was extraordinarily abundant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on their appearance alone, they were perfect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regrettably, in the three of the lowest-quality Spirit Tier Level 8, none of the Fire Thunder used by Li Jing during refining made it in, not even a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The six of Spirit Tier Level Nine got in a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one of Tier Ten had the most mixed in, its power increased by at least about 30% compared to the regular version.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After evaluating them briefly, Li Jing casually tossed the Thunder Element Swords to the side, then took out materials for twenty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Refining twenty Thunder Element Swords in one go was much more difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing felt somewhat strained, but the process of refining was still smooth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once again, he successfully crafted twenty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The quality of this batch is better than the previous one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not a single one is of the lowest quality; they are all between the level nine and ten Spirit weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After having such a trial, Li Jing no longer randomly picked out materials; instead, each time, he took out a fixed amount of twenty materials and began to work on assembly-line style refinement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t the key to true mass production all about speed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unconsciously, more than two hours had passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The materials in the storage bag were finally used up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In two hours, Li Jing managed to refine nearly six thousand Thunder Element Swords in one breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, sixty percent were level nine Spirit weapons, twenty percent were level ten Spirit weapons, and the lowest quality, level eight Spirit weapons, made up ten percent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining ten percent surpassed the Spirit weapon level and reached the Immortal item level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The highest-quality one was a level three Immortal item.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing, himself, was somewhat greedy when he held the level three Immortal Thunder Element Sword in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t underestimate the level three Immortal tool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This thing is used to thrown and blast people, not to control and fight against people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Detonating an Immortal tool is inherently very powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a normal level three Immortal tool is detonated, the instantaneous burst of power can be comparable to a full-strength strike of a level eight or even level nine Immortal tool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a disposable consumable, the Thunder Element Sword is a \"specialized\" explosive and has even greater power than a normal Immortal tool, and because of its high quality, it integrates a large amount of Fire Thunder stimulated by Li Jing’s refinement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This power can match up to a level ten Immortal tool with ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, he surely made a large profit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Li Jing had no idea about the market price of the Thunder Element Sword and couldn’t calculate it on his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless of quality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his near perfect success rate, making a loss would be very difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If other artefact refiners were to refine it, they wouldn’t be able to match his efficiency or the exaggerated success rate he achieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After casually picking up the Thunder Element Swords scattered around, Li Jing sat cross-legged to rest and recover for a while, then got up while he was still warmed up and took out materials for refining a half-step Taoist tool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He threw out the materials and his cultivated skills operated at full speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to his long-time operation of the Thousand Thunder Attraction, a thunder growl sounded over Qingyuan Fairy Palace, which was shrouded in clouds, and an extremely violent thunderstorm struck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When refining a half-step Taoist tool, he naturally had to be a bit more serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst flashes of lightning and peals of thunder, Li Jing’s gaze was as sharp as lightning as he struck out with his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A robust Fire Thunder erupted, and in a blink of an eye, it swallowed up the thrown materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several more robust Fire Thunder fell from the sky, assisting in handling the materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The materials refined into a half-step Taoist tool were indeed a bit different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from the Snow Sound Silk, the rest of the materials are also extraordinary and are guaranteed to be of high-quality Immortal tools when refined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Melting the materials and purifying them took Li Jing a full three minutes...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t underestimate these three minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing’s three minutes may equal three hours or even longer for other artefact refiners...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the materials were melted, Li Jing promptly raised his hand and clutched it forcefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The refining was not as smooth as usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usually, Li Jing could refine it instantaneously by clenching his hands through the air, but this time he faced a considerable obstacle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he chose to refine, the material solution formed a guzheng (zither), and then it twisted and lost its shape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raising his brows slightly, Li Jing concentrated, controlled it through the air with both hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Heaven’s Creation Skill had a unique characteristic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With ordinary refining techniques, after experiencing a failure, it’s basically considered a waste, but he can have a second opportunity to reshape it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after the refining, the quality may take a hit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, he couldn’t be bothered with that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he couldn’t refine a half-step Taoist tool, he should at least produce an Immortal tool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On one hand, he would familiarize himself with it, and on the other hand, the refined tool would be an Immortal tool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could also sell it for money later and make a large profit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After adjusting it several times, under Li Jing’s control, the material solution finally showed a trend of reshaping again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, he decisively chose to refine the tool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Buzz!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A guzheng (zither) materialized in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that the refining was successful, Li Jing heaved a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could let out his full breath, the guzheng (zither) that was hanging in the air suddenly turned into a streak of light and shot out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing was slightly stunned by the sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only Immortal tools but also Spirit weapons are usually not so obedient after being refined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But fleeing immediately without saying a word, this was his first encounter with such a situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laughing while shaking his head, Li Jing casually reached out, brought the guzheng (zither) which had escaped an unknown distance back and placed a seal on the weapon’s spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Little Universe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if there were no spirits like the Unnamed Taoist Tool to \"maintain the order\", where could the tools he had refined escape to?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the spirit was sealed, the Immortal tool quieted down immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing lowered his head to take a look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Level eight Immortal tool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering that there was a failure in the refining process, this quality could be said to be extremely high. If he sold it for Immortal Crystals, he could probably make a lot of money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He casually threw the guzheng (zither) that had been refined aside. Li Jing was too lazy to study if its spirit was fat or thin, male or female. He immediately took out the second batch of materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The refining started.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Li Jing was not as careless as the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>High degree of concentration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of his mind was devoted to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The solution was quickly purified and ready for the moment of refining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Handling it with care, Li Jing’s hands clutched fiercely in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Buzz!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A jade guzheng (zither) was successfully formed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Li Jing’s eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Has he succeeded already!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was surprised and delighted, there was a sudden thunderous booming sound in the sky above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>???ı\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shocked voice of Xia Ai rang out in his ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah! Master, what did you do!? I cannot control myself!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she finished speaking, a thick black thunder silently appeared in the high sky, and then descended with a thunderous force.\u003C\u002Fp>",4728,"2026-06-06T07:41:35.217Z",1,"novelbin.me","5ad1896111077dc5bd10501249e88d23ffd92e075bd24a23f63de864b8d9bd90","why-do-all-these-monsters-have-health-bars-chapter-489","why-do-all-these-monsters-have-health-bars-chapter-487",719,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwhy-do-all-these-monsters-have-health-bars-cover.jpg"]
