"It is actually the Heavenly Realm Purifying Fire. How can this person control it? This fire can burn space! It can even destroy immortal substances. He is merely a figure in the Longevity Realm, only at the first stage of Longevity, and he can actually control this legendary flame?"
Seeing Fang Han suddenly summon the "Heavenly Realm Purifying Fire."
Everyone became astonished, especially the few purple-clothed cultivators, licking their lips with unbelievable looks in their eyes.
"He has refined this Heavenly Realm Purifying Fire; it has an aura connected to his flesh and blood, being a part of his body. No wonder he can manipulate it as if it were his own arm. Who knows what kind of fortuitous encounter he had. Using this fire for artifact forging and tempering various physical bodies is rumored to have unimaginable magical uses."
"Look! This person's artifact forging technique!"
The several assessing cultivators were shocked once again.
They saw Fang Han striking out series of hand seals, his hands taking on the shape of dragons.
From these dragon-shaped claws, profound patterns for refining magical treasures flew out. As the patterns danced, they seemed chaotic, yet contained the supreme principles of heaven and earth. Guided by his techniques, the various materials in the pill furnace leaped with spirit. The Western Geng Gold, Southern Cinnabar, Zhou Heavenly Meteoric Iron, along with some magical beast souls sealed inside crystals, Five Qi True Steel, and Seven-Colored Divine Stones, all melted into a mass in an instant. Under Fang Han's special hand seals, the properties of some materials flawlessly merged together.
"This is the Dragon Race's artifact forging technique, but it seems mixed with some other profound methods. What a perfect artifact forging technique! He knows the characteristics of various materials like the back of his hand; it's too terrifying. Look! That Five-Colored True Astral Qi and Profound Spirit Liquid can actually merge like that! I wouldn't even think of it!"
Seeing Fang Han manipulate those materials with extreme proficiency, everyone was shocked endlessly.
Within Fang Han's techniques, it was like the rhymes of heaven and earth. Just watching the hand gestures was an enjoyment. Furthermore, amidst his gestures, murmuring syllables were emitted, sounding like a clear spring, flowing water, and the sounds of nature!
After a few hours, all the materials transformed into an infant-like embryo. Arrays of light condensed around this infant, as if changing into a pill furnace.
"Could it be that he wants to refine a pill furnace, the most formidable among treasures? A pill furnace has a vast amount of functions and is difficult to refine, requiring various coordinations. It is more than a hundred times harder than refining flying swords and flying knives."
"It is indeed refining a pill furnace."
Time passed quickly, and many people present were refining treasures. The bearded robust man looked at Fang Han with sharp eyes while refining his own treasure.
And that woman was doing it with ease.
The old man changed his techniques extremely fast, seemingly refining a banner-shaped magical treasure.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a cultivator's pill furnace exploded violently. All the materials emitted a foul stench. The cultivator's face immediately turned ashen, knowing he couldn't control the fire, and all the materials were ruined.
"Get out! You are disqualified!"
A purple-clothed assessing cultivator waved his sleeve, and this cultivator was rolled up by a force of space, disappearing completely.
Everyone continued to refine, and subsequently, several other cultivators failed in their forging and were also rolled out and sent away. The artifact forging techniques of these cultivators were also quite exquisite, just that the stipulated time was too short. Compressing hundreds or thousands of years into this period, lacking long-term polishing, made the chance of failure exceedingly high.
For the same magical treasure, the success rate of refining it for a thousand years is naturally much greater than refining it for a hundred years; haste makes waste.
Meanwhile, Fang Han's techniques remained exquisitely varied, making even the assessing officials staring in shock: "Genius, truly a genius. With this cultivation level, to have such artifact forging techniques, if he is trained slightly, then…"
"If his cultivation level were a bit higher…"
"Our artifact forging techniques and various whimsical ideas are all inferior to his! How did he think of combining the Spirit Gathering Array and the Thunder Fire Array like that?"
"A peerless genius!"
"Look! His magical treasure is about to be successfully condensed. It is a pill furnace! Only twenty years have passed!"
The years of cultivation passed ruthlessly; as the saying goes, seven days in the cave is a thousand years in the world. During this treasure refining process, twenty years unknowingly passed.
Fang Han had refined all the materials into a pill furnace embryo. Suddenly, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. The pill furnace embryo stretched out its body, solidifying into a physical entity, transforming into an existence that resembled both a cauldron and a furnace.
The artifact spirit within emitted waves of tyrannical aura, and the patterns on the entire pill furnace seemed naturally formed.
"Everyone, please look! This is the pill furnace I refined, called the Five Hells Five Elements Sovereign King Cauldron. It brings out the best in both pill concoction and magical treasure refinement." As soon as Fang Han successfully finished refining, he stood aside with his hands down.
"Good treasure! I have never seen such an exquisite inferior-grade Dao Artifact! Perfect, simply perfect! Even a Grandmaster of Artifact Forging couldn't make this. If this inferior-grade Dao Artifact is taken out for auction, its value would probably be ten million! This can absolutely serve as a paragon for inferior-grade Dao Artifacts. Even an expert at the Creation Realm would probably find it hard to refine an inferior-grade Dao Artifact like this."
"Perfect, classic. An artwork, this is no longer a magical treasure."
"Breathtaking, exquisite craftsmanship. How long has it been since someone like this appeared among our Treasure Refining Masters?"
"Report it to the higher-ups."
A purple-clothed assessing official of relatively high status, who had reached the peak of the spatial laws, said: "You have passed. As for your rank, we still need to appraise it."
In Fenbaoyan, Treasure Refining Masters also had ranks. The higher the rank of the Treasure Refining Master, the better the treatment. Every year, they would receive more Pure Yang Pills, and even many immortal pills that increased lifespan to consume.
"Hmpf!" Seeing Fang Han refine a pill cauldron, the bearded robust man did not show weakness. Pushing out another breath of vital energy, two flying swords took shape, actually being one Yin and one Yang, two inferior-grade Dao Artifacts.
Subsequently, the woman also successfully refined a flying sword, and the old man refined a complete set of long banners, where the main banner was an inferior-grade Dao Artifact, and there were three sub-banners, all of which were peerless-grade Treasure Artifacts. When activated, the power was also good. By coordinating with each other, they could also be arranged into a grand array.
"The methods for refining magical treasures are all not bad. Within a mere twenty years, they have all refined them, completing it faster than the stipulated time. Among Treasure Refining Masters, they can be considered outstanding. It seems we have recruited some good Treasure Refining Masters this time." Seeing this scene, the assessing officials all nodded.
"You four advance early. Follow me!"
Right away, Fang Han, the bearded robust man, the woman, and the old man all followed these assessing officials into the depths of Fenbaoyan. The power of time normalized. The magical treasures that took twenty years to refine just now had merely taken a bit less than an hour in the outside world.
"Regardless of what your previous identities were, starting from now, you are the Treasure Refining Masters of our Fenbaoyan. As for the rest, your ranks have yet to be determined by the higher-ups. Starting from now, your task is to cultivate and refine magical treasures for our Fenbaoyan. Our Fenbaoyan has plenty of materials. Even if you want some substances from the Immortal Realm, we have them all. As long as you have the ability to refine outstanding magical treasures, our Fenbaoyan will definitely not treat you poorly."
A purple-clothed assessing official said, respectfully throwing out four dark-gold colored iron plates. Fang Han caught it in his hand. The iron plate was heavy, containing some unknown substances, emitting bursts of immortal energy. It was very likely refined from materials originating from the Immortal Realm.
"This plate is your credential as a Treasure Refining Master." The assessing official continued: "There is currently only one star on it. You are the most low-level one-star Treasure Refining Masters. When your contribution points increase, the things you get will also increase. A one-star Treasure Refining Master has an annual salary of one hundred million pills. Other benefits include imparting cultivation methods, bestowing immortal pills, elevating cultivation levels, and many more. Also, inside this magical treasure pouch are the clothes of our Fenbaoyan's Treasure Refining Masters. As long as you wear them and go to other places, even experts at the Realm King Realm in the top ten Great Worlds will not casually do anything to you."
Another magical treasure pouch was thrown over. Inside was a set of Dao attire that was a mid-grade Dao Artifact.
Additionally, inside the magical treasure pouch, there were thirty million Pure Yang Pills and an immortal pill used for increasing cultivation level called Life Fortune Pill.
"The treatment of a Treasure Refining Master is indeed good." Fang Han said inwardly.
"However! Now that you have become Treasure Refining Masters of Fenbaoyan, you cannot casually go out. Unless it is a sect mission. Leaving Fenbaoyan casually will be punished by death!" The assessing official coldly spoke words full of killing intent, which caused the bearded robust man to pause, while Fang Han nodded, showing a natural, sincere, and satisfied look. These expressions were all taken in by the assessing official's eyes.
"Now, you are different from casual disciples, you must pay attention to this. The more things you get, the greater the restrictions you face. If you want to leave Fenbaoyan, you can. But you must submit an application first. The higher-ups will consider it according to the situation. Additionally, inside this Fenbaoyan, there are countless alternate spatial dimensions, in which our supreme Treasure Master has sealed countless alien objects with world-shocking magic power. You absolutely must not intrude randomly. If you encounter danger, no one will rescue you, and you will also suffer punishment."
"Yes!"
The four of them all nodded.
"Alright, you will go to the Grand Refining Factory, and you are about to start refining magical treasures." As he spoke, space shifted. Suddenly, a boundless vast space appeared before the four of them once again. Inside this large space, there were pill furnaces everywhere. Masters wearing the clothes of Treasure Refining Masters were constantly sacrificing and refining magical treasures in front of the pill furnaces.
Countless treasure lights shot into the sky.
Treasure aura crisscrossed.
Fang Han counted, and in this large space, there were fully tens of thousands of pill furnaces.
The pill furnaces varied in size. There were huge pill furnaces, ten thousand feet high, like a mountain of treasures, which were actually superior-grade Dao Artifacts, or even half-peerless-grade! There were small pill furnaces, the height of a few people, which were inferior-grade Dao Artifacts.
For those pill furnaces ten thousand feet high, at least a thousand figures revolved around them. Many disciples continuously transported materials into them, and then hundreds of Treasure Refining Masters struck out hand seals together to sacrifice and refine a magical treasure.
Countless Pure Yang Pills burned as if they cost nothing.
Countless Dao Artifacts and Treasure Artifacts continuously left the furnaces, and unusual phenomena occasionally occurred in heaven and earth.
"My heavens! This is simply!" Even though Fang Han had seen a lot, he watched in a daze. He had never seen such a spectacular treasure refining scene!
"This is one of the Grand Refining Factories inside our Fenbaoyan. There are many such factories. Alright, you are now a group, and have been assigned a mid-grade Dao Artifact pill furnace, situated over there. In the future, for tasks assigned by the sect, you will complete them together! As for the four of you, Prince Wula will be the main lead, understood?"
The assessing official said.
Surprisingly, they were a group of four, and led by Prince Wula, whose cultivation was the "lowest"!
