Chapter 259 Supervise! Urge!
Lu Yu hesitated for a moment, and Fairy Wanyue stopped asking. She then asked, "Are these the materials for refining beast soul artifacts?"
Lu Yu nodded and said, "Yes, I have been studying the refining of spirit beast pills all along."
"Although I have gained something from my studies, it eventually became too monotonous."
"That's why I started studying other techniques."
"Even though they are different techniques, many of the basic principles are the same, so I can verify them while refining."
Fairy Wanyue nodded slightly, showing a look of approval on her face.
She pointed to the Qingling Bamboo and asked softly, "This bamboo seems to have a long history, probably over a thousand years. What grade of artifact is it used to refine?"
Lu Yu smiled and said, "This is used to refine fourth-grade Foundation Building artifacts."
"It can be considered one of the easier beast soul artifacts to refine, nothing special."
In the field of artifact refining, there are many categories.
There are weapons, armor, and auxiliary artifacts.
Similar to beast soul artifacts, they are just a relatively niche branch.
In the Qi Refining stage, beast soul artifacts are considered insignificant.
Most of them are nurtured with the souls of spirit beasts, and the spirit beasts that reside in the artifacts are mostly companion-type spirit beasts.
Or some special insects that do not understand human nature but have treasure-hunting abilities.
These are all beneficial for cultivators in battles.
Therefore, even dedicated artifact refiners do not delve into the refining of beast soul artifacts.
But once they enter the Foundation Building stage, refining beast soul artifacts becomes an essential task for dedicated artifact refiners.
Among the beast soul artifacts that can be used in the Foundation Building stage, most of them are inhabited by spirit beast souls with extraordinary spells.
Some of them are inhabited by remnants of high-level spirit beasts. Although they are disposable beast soul artifacts, they can also become a decisive factor in battles for Foundation Building cultivators.
The variety of spirit beast souls that can be selected to inhabit beast soul artifacts has also greatly increased.
Some beast soul artifacts even combine many functions and become indispensable weapons for cultivators.
Fairy Wanyue rarely praised directly, saying, "Fellow Daoist Lu, I thought you only had talent in refining spirit beast pills, but I didn't expect you to have such accomplishments in the path of refining as well."
"If we verify each other during the refining process, it may even improve your understanding of refining spirit beast pills."
"I think you have already mastered the basic principles and the 'Summary of Spirit Pills' quite well."
"If you need it, I can exchange other materials for you to gain a deeper understanding."
Lu Yu looked at Fairy Wanyue in surprise. He thought she would advise him to focus on one field and not be distracted.
He didn't expect her to praise his approach and even offered to buy other expensive jade slips about refining spirit beast pills for him.
But he repeatedly waved his hand and refused, saying, "Fairy Wanyue, you're overthinking it."
"For now, I don't need any other materials to deepen my understanding."
"The key to refining spirit beast pills lies in practice. Although I have understood many techniques in the 'Summary,' I still need some time to become proficient."
Seeing this, Fairy Wanyue did not insist.
However, she secretly made up her mind to buy other jade slips for Lu Yu.
Although she had already spent a lot of contribution points on exchanging the "Summary of Spirit Pills" and hiring Lingxiao Daoist to guide Lu Yu in mastering the basic principles.
But she still had her senior brother. He had been stationed at the main building of the Qingyun Commercial Alliance for years and had easily earned a lot of contribution points. She believed he had accumulated quite a lot.
She became Lu Yu's patron at his instigation. If she ran out of contribution points, she could borrow some from him.
...
In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed.
Qingyun Commercial Alliance main building.
Hall of the Greedy Wolf.
Laughter could be heard from the hall from time to time.
The two cultivators responsible for rotating guard duty in the hall noticed and exchanged a smile.
A hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.
Even on ordinary days, the hall master always had a stern expression.
But why was he laughing so heartily today?
"Not bad, not bad."
"With your current attainments in alchemy, even among the disciples of those old monsters who specialize in production, you can rank in the top three."
"When the newly issued Tianji guest cultivator identity jade slips are distributed and you can exchange for abundant cultivation resources..."
"In the future, there will be a place for you in the Qingyun Commercial Sect."
"This time, the sect master has ordered all the halls to spare no effort in cultivating you and the other geniuses of the past century. It is said that they will use the accumulation of the Qingyun Commercial Sect from the past few hundred years."
"The accumulation of a commercial sect for hundreds of years, how amazing it must be!"
"You must cherish this opportunity."
"By the way, there are also many rankings announced in the newly issued Tianji guest cultivator identity jade slips."
"If you achieve something in those rankings, I believe it will be a natural progression for you to become an immortal-level Tianji guest cultivator."
...
In Gongyue City.
Inside the quiet room where Fairy Wanyue was located.
The identity jade slip with a wolf head relief was gently held in her hand.
Her divine sense seeped into it, and inside was a joyful message from her senior brother Huangshan.
"Junior sister, the sect has made many significant changes to cultivate the geniuses within the sect."
"This includes the newly issued Tianji guest cultivator identity jade slips and the use of a completely new method."
"But the specific details of this method are still unknown to senior brother."
"However, it is said to have been developed by the senior cultivators within the sect."
"After summarizing this information, senior brother feels that the entire Qingyun Commercial Sect is about to change."
"You must urge that fellow cultivator Lu to seize this opportunity."
"Otherwise, both you and him will regret it on the path to immortality."
"..."
Fairy Wanyue looked at the lengthy message, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.
After carefully reading it several times, she repeatedly murmured a few key words.
Finally, she focused on the words "newly issued Tianji guest cultivator identity jade slips."
Besides proving one's identity, the most important aspect of the Tianji guest cultivator identity jade slip was the high level of resources that could be exchanged.
The newly issued jade slips must be related to the exchange of cultivation resources.
With this in mind, she immediately contacted her senior brother Huangshan and received a positive response.
"That's right, that's right."
"The purpose of the newly issued Tianji guest cultivator identity jade slips is to modify the exchange of cultivation resources."
"There are also many new rankings added to evaluate the geniuses."
"If you can make a name for yourself on the rankings, you can exchange for corresponding sect's secret resources in your identity jade slip."
Huangshan paused after delivering this message.
"And, it is said that there is also an extremely important Tianji genius ranking."
"Those who make it onto the Tianji genius ranking will ultimately receive rewards such as the substitute Dragon Wood, the Ascension Fruit, and the Immortal Token..."
With each reward item Huangshan mentioned, Fairy Wanyue's body trembled slightly.
By the time he finished, her surroundings were already in a whirl.
Her beautiful eyes widened, and her heroic posture gradually shrank. Her face was filled with a bewildered expression.
"Such precious sect treasures... it's impossible for them to be used as rewards!"
In addition to her shock, she could only think of the sect treasures mentioned by the hall master within the Qingyun Commercial Sect.
Each one was a rare and precious treasure in this realm.
Even if a Void God Realm expert obtained them, they would be targeted by higher-level cultivators who would take them by force!
