Chapter 53

The Purple Cloud Sword actually exchanged for more than two hundred spirit stones, and Qin Fengming was greatly surprised upon hearing this. ...www..com...

For the fifty spirit stones that the two senior brothers had taken out, he naturally did not hesitate to put them in his pocket. Although he had not contributed a single material for this magical tool, he was the one who wielded the knife. It was only right to take some remuneration.

Although he received ten low-grade spirit stones each month, after deducting the costs for refining and daily cultivation, he could only save two or three stones each month. Being able to earn fifty spirit stones at once made Qin Fengming extremely pleased.

He accepted the spirit stones without hesitation, also because Qin Fengming already knew that the materials used for the Purple Cloud Sword had only cost the two senior brothers twenty spirit stones to buy the Purple Cloud Iron, and the rest of the materials were leftovers from Uncle Fei.

According to their original intention, they wanted to refine a high-quality magical tool to exchange for a hundred or so spirit stones. After deducting expenses, each person would get twenty. They never expected that Qin Fengming would refine an extremely high-quality high-grade magical tool. This greatly increased their net worth, making them absolutely wealthy among the low-rank disciples, which made them even more delighted.

Qin Fengming's success in refining a high-grade magical tool was also a joy for the low-rank disciples.

Everyone knew that to successfully refine a magical tool, one had to immerse oneself in refining for several years. To successfully refine a high-grade magical tool, one's cultivation must at least reach the late Qi Gathering stage.

Even in a sect that primarily focused on refining, it was impossible for a fourth-layer Qi Gathering disciple to refine a high-grade magical tool. And who would refine a high-grade magical tool for a low-rank disciple?

Hearing that a junior brother could refine a high-grade magical tool, the low-rank disciples of Luoxia Sect were immediately overjoyed. They all secretly accumulated refining materials and looked for opportunities to ask the junior brother to help refine a magical tool for them.

Suddenly, the exchange of refining materials among the low-rank disciples of Luoxia Sect became widespread, presenting a scene of prosperity. This also made the higher-ups of Luoxia Sect extremely pleased.

Not long after this, the young man surnamed Wang, whom Qin Fengming had met a few times in the Skill Transmission Hall and who was cultivating in the Alchemy Hall, led a seventh-layer Qi Gathering senior brother to find Qin Fengming.

"Brother Qin, how have you been? Do you still remember me?"

"How could I forget Senior Brother Wang? When I first came to Luoxia Sect, Senior Brother Wang helped me a lot. I have always been grateful. It's been a few months, and your cultivation has improved even more. Truly, this is something to celebrate."

Qin Fengming also chuckled. He didn't know many people in Luoxia Sect, and Senior Brother Wang was one of them.

"This time, I have come specifically to ask Brother Qin for help." Seeing that Qin Fengming was still very polite, the young man surnamed Wang was delighted and did not say much else, directly speaking up.

As he spoke, the young man surnamed Wang pointed to the cultivator who had come with him and continued,

"This is Senior Brother Hong, who cultivates in the Alchemy Hall with me. Senior Brother Hong wants to refine a high-grade magical tool. Hearing that I have met Brother Qin a few times, he invited me to come along. I hope Brother Qin will not refuse."

Hearing this, Qin Fengming immediately showed a look of difficulty.

"Senior Brother Hong, I will not let Brother Qin help for nothing. I will pay Brother Qin five low-grade spirit stones in advance. If the refinement is successful, I will definitely give Brother Qin two Yellow Essence Pills. Even if it fails, I will not blame Brother Qin in the slightest."

Senior Brother Hong was quick-witted and, before Qin Fengming could say anything, he immediately mentioned the benefits.

Qin Fengming, of course, had heard of the Yellow Essence Pills. They were the pills distributed by Luoxia Sect to disciples above the sixth-layer Qi Gathering stage, and one could only receive one every six months.

It was said that these pills helped improve the cultivation of Qi Gathering stage cultivators and could help them break through bottlenecks. Each Yellow Essence Pill was worth at least fifty spirit stones.

For Senior Brother Hong to be able to take out two at once, it seemed he had a closer relationship with the sect and had either secretly refined them or saved them up.

"Since the two senior brothers look up to me so much, I will do my best, but I must say this upfront: I cannot guarantee success. If I fail, I hope Senior Brother will not blame me."

Hearing Qin Fengming agree to refine, the two were naturally delighted.

"As long as Brother Qin can help, regardless of success or failure, I will always remember your kindness." As he spoke, he flicked his hand, and a storage ring appeared. With a mental command, five spirit stones and a pile of materials appeared in front of Qin Fengming, including as many as seven types of refining materials.

Senior Brother Hong pointed to the materials, his face extremely tense, and said, "I am not very proficient in refining. I wonder if these materials can be used to refine a high-grade magical tool?"

Qin Fengming had learned refining from Uncle Fei and, in his spare time, had read many books and scrolls about refining materials. He was already familiar with ordinary materials.

With a quick glance, he saw a yellow mineral in the materials, which had a faint yellow glow. He picked it up and examined it carefully, recognizing it as a Gold Crystal.

This crystal, which accompanied gold ore, was extremely rare and was an excellent material for refining magical tools.

This Gold Crystal was enough for two magical tools. The other materials were auxiliary materials, and even without them, one could find a few types in the hall.

After a moment's thought, Qin Fengming said, "This Gold Crystal can be used as the main material, and it is enough to make a magical tool. However, these auxiliary materials are somewhat insufficient."

Upon hearing this, Senior Brother Hong's face showed great disappointment.

Seeing his expression, Qin Fengming slowly continued, "Senior Brother, don't worry. Although they are slightly insufficient, I have some surplus materials. It won't be difficult to make up for the shortfall. Additionally, I will add Fire Crystal and Starfire Sand. These two materials will definitely increase the power of the refined magical tool."

Senior Brother Hong, who had just fallen into a bottomless abyss, immediately felt as if he were sitting on a cloud, his face showing great gratitude.

"The Refining Hall does not allow outsiders to enter, so the two senior brothers can only wait here. Regardless of success or failure, I will return here after the refinement is complete." Qin Fengming finished speaking and, without further ado, walked towards the Refining Hall.

Seeing Qin Fengming leave, Senior Brother Hong's face showed a hint of reluctance, but he did not say anything.

Qin Fengming was away for seven or eight hours, even missing lunch. When he returned to his residence, it was already late at night.

Seeing that Senior Brother Hong and the other were anxiously waiting, Qin Fengming, with a pale face, showed a smile. He handed a stone box to Senior Brother Hong and said,

"I have worried the two senior brothers. Although there were some difficulties at the beginning, I ultimately did not fail my mission and successfully refined it. Senior Brother Hong, are you satisfied?"

Senior Brother Hong took the stone box with both hands, opened it excitedly, and saw a two-inch-long small knife inside, glowing with a golden light.

Picking up the small knife, he infused it with spiritual energy, and the knife instantly grew to over three feet long, its light becoming even brighter, and a wave of intense heat surged out. The magical tool danced on his fingertips, as if it could break through the air at any moment.
