Chapter 561: The “Santongqi”, the “Tongcan Magical Treasure”, Wang Yanjing was surprised!

Cultivation Technique: Divine Machine Hundred Refinements Art

Grade: Dao Inquiry Grade

Description: A Legacy from Hundred Refinements Mountain, Yin and Yang Water-Fire refines profound mysteries, human and artifact merge, divine machine hundred refinements, comprehending the true meaning within artifacts, constantly breaking through Realms, and achieving heaven-defying creation.

“Hundred Refinements Mountain again?”

Lu Changsheng’s expression was surprised when he saw the Cultivation Technique’s introduction.

The Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique he Cultivated came from a Legacy called Hundred Refinements Mountain.

He didn’t expect that this Divine Machine Hundred Refinements Art would also come from Hundred Refinements Mountain.

“But what grade is Dao Inquiry Grade?”

Lu Changsheng had only heard of Profound Grade and True Immortal Grade, and he didn’t expect another Dao Inquiry Grade to appear.

“System, Legacy!”

With a slight thought, he used this Divine Machine Hundred Refinements Art.

Immediately, all the Cultivation methods and related content poured into Lu Changsheng’s mind like a sudden enlightenment.

After a long while.

“So this Divine Machine Hundred Refinements Art is an Artifact Cultivator Cultivation Technique.”

After Lu Changsheng opened his eyes, he felt as if he had just woken from a dream.

Although he possessed many Cultivation Techniques, he had never seen an Artifact Cultivator Cultivation Technique before.

Even in Jiang Country and the surrounding countries, he had never heard of an Artifact Cultivator Legacy.

“This kind of Artifact Cultivator Cultivation Technique is truly profound and unique, quite extraordinary.”

“Not only can one Breakthrough Realms through Artifact Refining, but one can also use Magical Artifacts that surpass the Cultivator’s grade to drive the Cultivator’s advancement, comprehend the true meaning within the artifact, Breakthrough Bottlenecks, and even absorb the artifact’s power to enhance oneself.”

Normal Cultivators nourish artifacts with themselves.

After selecting a Lifebound Treasure, they continuously nourish their Lifebound Treasure while Cultivating and advancing, making the Magic Treasure perfectly compatible with themselves, improving its grade and power.

However, this type of Artifact Cultivator uses artifacts to nourish themselves.

Through forging Magical Artifacts or compatible co-Cultivation artifacts, they rapidly enhance themselves.

“However, this kind of Talisman Cultivator and Artifact Cultivator Legacy is indeed much more practical than the Yin Yang Creation Scripture and Vatican Devil True Saint Art, and more suitable as a Family Legacy.”

The basic Qi Refining method of the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements Art is only average.

It is far from comparable to the Yin Yang Creation Scripture and Vatican Devil True Saint Art.

But this Cultivation Technique, similar to the Nine-Nine Mysterious Talisman Scripture, contains numerous配套 (matching) Magical Treasure refining methods and Artifact Refining secret arts.

Although Lu Changsheng is a Third-tier High Grade Artifact Refiner, his Artifact Refining knowledge leans towards basic items, and he does not possess methods for refining rare Magic Treasures.

The Artifact Refining Legacy he obtained from Tianyuan Zhenjun was also like this.

It was difficult to refine rare Magic Treasures like the Dongxuan Treasure Mirror and the Mi Chen Banner.

He could only rely on his Artifact Refining experience and the condition of the Materials to forge ordinary Magical Artifacts like the Wind and Thunder Wings.

However, this Divine Machine Hundred Refinements Art contains methods for refining numerous rare Magic Treasures, Spirit Treasures, and even heavenly spiritual treasures.

For example, the supreme treasure of Hundred Refinements Mountain—the Heaven and Earth Nourishing Furnace.

Any medicinal herb placed in the furnace for a period of time can directly improve its quality, and even Cultivate ordinary medicinal herbs into top-tier divine medicines!

Cultivators entering the furnace can even Cultivate a Perfect Dao Foundation and a Supreme Golden Core!

There are also several extraordinary supreme treasures: the Eighty-Eight Corner True Yang Tower, the Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron, and the Prodigy Eight Daughters Diagram.

It can be said that the Magic Treasures recorded in this Divine Machine Hundred Refinements Art are all among the best of the best.

Even though Lu Changsheng possessed the Yin Yang Ancient Diagram, the Mi Chen Banner, and the Sun Moon Two Instruments Profound Light Mirror, he couldn’t help but marvel at the Artifact Refining Legacy of Hundred Refinements Mountain.

He planned to sort it out later to see if he could draw inspiration from it and imitate a few handy Magic Treasures.

He hadn’t refined too many Magic Treasures, partly because of limited time and energy, and partly because ordinary Magical Artifacts were meaningless to him.

“This secret art, Samatha-gupta, is quite interesting. One chooses a matching Magical Artifact, refines it into a co-Cultivation artifact, and uses it to Cultivate.”

“Especially the Lifebound Treasure of a Family Elder after their passing; not only is the Cultivation Technique inherited, but it’s also Bloodline-connected, making it a perfect match. Once refined into a co-Cultivation artifact, Cultivation and Breakthroughs will be like breaking bamboo!”

Through the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements Art, Lu Changsheng gained some understanding of Hundred Refinements Mountain’s situation.

Each person possesses one or two Lifebound Treasures and four or five ordinary Magical Artifacts.

After their passing, these are passed down from generation to generation, directly ensuring that there are no generational gaps among the Disciples.

After all, a Disciple with an ordinary Low Grade Spiritual Root, upon obtaining a perfectly compatible co-Cultivation Magical Artifact, would have a Cultivation speed directly comparable to that of a High Grade Spiritual Root.

In terms of Bottlenecks, they might even have a slight advantage over High Grade Spiritual Roots.

However, this Cultivation method also has its drawbacks.

First, it’s very expensive!

Second, over time, the Cultivator’s magical power Foundation will be assimilated by the Magic Treasure.

Once they reach a certain Realm, their Cultivation speed will significantly slow down, and they must upgrade their co-Cultivation Magic Treasure to Breakthrough the Realm.

However, for Cultivators with average Aptitude, these drawbacks are nothing compared to the benefits.

“And this Divine Machine Artifact Refining Art, as long as one understands the principle of the Magic Treasure, one can directly replace and condense the Materials of the Magic Treasure, strengthening the Magic Treasure itself and saving a lot of Artifact Refining time. It’s simply ingenious!”

“With this Artifact Refining Art, it’s much simpler to increase the upper limit of a Magic Treasure’s grade.”

“There’s also this Art of Human-Artifact Unity, which can, in the shortest amount of time, refine the Cultivator and the Magic Treasure to be in perfect harmony, with power comparable to a Lifebound Treasure.”

As Lu Changsheng digested the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements Art, he increasingly felt that the Dao of Artifact Refining was vast and profound.

Or rather, every Dao, when explored deeply, is extraordinary.

“Speaking of which, my Yin Yang Creation Scripture seems to be highly compatible with the Sun Moon Two Instruments Profound Light Mirror. Perhaps I can refine the Sun Moon Two Instruments Profound Light Mirror into a co-Cultivation Magic Treasure.”

At this moment, Lu Changsheng’s eyes narrowed slightly as he thought of his Sun Moon Two Instruments Profound Light Mirror.

If he were to refine this heavenly spiritual treasure into a co-Cultivation artifact, he could use it to Cultivate and Breakthrough Realms.

And in the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements Art, there are also several secret arts that can help him reduce the cost and forcibly activate this heavenly spiritual treasure.

However, thinking about how Cultivating with a co-Cultivation artifact requires consuming the Magic Treasure’s Origin, and using it too much would assimilate his magical power Foundation with the Magic Treasure, affecting his future, Lu Changsheng dismissed the idea.

His talent and potential did not require the aid of such a secret art.

“It’s more for Zixiao.”

Among Lu Changsheng’s wives, Honglian and Meng Xiaochun had already reached Core Formation.

Xiao Xiyue’s Core Formation was expected within the next two years.

Lu Miaoge had just broken through to Basement Establishment Ninth Level, and although a Supreme Golden Core was not certain, with the Taiyi Dao Seed, Core Formation was not an issue.

Only Ling Zixiao, whose Cultivation was delayed in her early years due to her Dragon’s Roar Body, was only at Foundation Establishment Sixth Level now.

Although her talent, Comprehension Ability, and Heart-Nature meant that Core Formation would not be difficult for her in the future.

But for him, it was still a bit slow.

Moreover, Ling Zixiao also had to be responsible for some Family matters, the Family’s grand formation, and now she was the Great Manager of Great Dream Immortal City, so her low Cultivation was truly inconvenient.

“Although Samatha-gupta has a very high Comprehension Ability threshold, for Zixiao, it shouldn’t be a problem.”

“However, Zixiao’s Twelve Heavenly Demon God Art and the Sun Moon Two Instruments Profound Light Mirror are probably not compatible, making it impossible to refine into a co-Cultivation Magic Treasure. Even if forcibly refined, it would destroy her Dao.”

“Furthermore, the Sun Moon Two Instruments Profound Light Mirror, as the Family’s server, has infinite potential and is not suitable as a co-Cultivation artifact. However, I can custom-make a co-Cultivation Magic Treasure for Zixiao.”

“Although she is not an Artifact Refiner, as a Third-tier High Grade Artifact Refiner, after comprehending the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements Art, I can completely help her forge and upgrade this Magic Treasure, and even upgrade it to a Spirit Treasure or a heavenly spiritual treasure in the future.”

Lu Changsheng mused in his heart.

Cultivating Samatha-gupta and using a Magic Treasure for Cultivation would consume the Magic Treasure’s Origin. Over time, the magical power Foundation would be assimilated by the Magic Treasure.

In the future, if the Magic Treasure’s grade was insufficient, the Cultivation speed would greatly decrease, making it impossible to Breakthrough the Realm.

But for Lu Changsheng, this was not too big a drawback.

Ling Zixiao herself couldn’t forge Magic Treasures or replenish their Origin, but he could forge and upgrade them.

He could also custom-make it according to Ling Zixiao’s Cultivation Technique and Physique, turning this assimilation of magical power Foundation into a kind of boost and aid, and even re-releasing the effects lost by her Dragon’s Roar Body.

If she had this assistance, with Ling Zixiao’s talent and Comprehension Ability, let alone Core Formation, she might even have hope for Nascent Soul and Soul Transformation in the future!

“I can talk to Zixiao later.”

Lu Changsheng felt it was feasible, then continued to digest the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements Art in his mind.

After a long while, he let out a long breath and went to Cultivate with Xiao Xiyue, Lu Miaoge, and the others.

Things needed to be done one step at a time, and refining a co-Cultivation Magic Treasure couldn’t be rushed; it also required time for preparation.

The main task at hand was to resolve Xiao Xiyue’s matter.

Biyun Peak, Starfall Pavilion.

“I didn’t expect Qian’er to be a Five Elements Body.”

In the backyard, Wang Yanjing looked at her son, Lu Xuangan, who was sitting in meditation, and murmured in her heart, filled with surprise and joy.

Although the Five Elements Body was not a hidden Spiritual Physique, it only began to show its potential after reaching a certain age and starting Cultivation.

A few years ago, she had already realized that her son’s situation was extraordinary, as if he possessed a Spiritual Physique, but she couldn’t confirm it, thinking she would wait until he started Cultivating.

Now, seeing her son Cultivating, and through her own Minor Five Elements Body, she finally confirmed that her son possessed a Spiritual Physique, most likely a Five Elements Body!

As one of the three great Core Formation Families in Jiang Country, and a Core Formation seed of the Five Elements Wang Family, she naturally understood the Five Elements Body!

In fact, when she was young, she grew up listening to the legends of the Five Elements Body, taking pride in possessing a Minor Five Elements Body!

She hoped that when she grew up, she would be able to lead the Family to rise, just like the first Wang Family Old Ancestor, and restore the glory of the Five Elements Wang Family!

But life is never smooth sailing.

During one of her outdoor training expeditions, she was attacked, her Dao Foundation was damaged, and her Dao path was half-crippled.

She originally intended to return after recovering from her injuries.

However, her injuries were too severe, and she suspected that the attack she suffered back then was due to a traitor in her Lu Family, and then she met Lu Xingchen, so her desire to return gradually faded, and she chose a normal, ordinary life.

But she never expected that her son would actually possess the Five Elements Body!

A Five Elements Spiritual Physique, just like her Family’s first Old Ancestor!

“Should I inform the Family about Qian’er’s matter?”

Wang Yanjing looked at her son before her, her heart conflicted.

Although she had no intention of returning home, she was still a daughter of the Wang Family after all.

Over the years, she had always paid attention to the situation of the Five Elements Wang Family.

Now, the entire Jiang Country Cultivation World knew that the Wang Family was in decline.

The Wang Family Old Ancestor’s Lifespan was running out, and he was about to pass away.

Once the Wang Family Old Ancestor passed away, the name of the Five Elements Wang Family would cease to exist.

Under these circumstances, if she brought her son, Lu Xuangan, back to the Wang Family, it would bring hope to the Wang Family, the hope of rising again!

Moreover, as a mother, she also hoped her son would have a bright future.

If she brought her son back to the Wang Family, the Wang Family would certainly pour all its resources into cultivating this child to become the Wang Family’s Young Master!

If he obtained the Wang Family’s resources and inherited the Five Elements Wang Family’s Cultivation Technique Legacy and Divine Ability Magic Treasure, her son would certainly be able to reach Core Formation in the future, and even have a chance at Nascent Soul.

However, besides being a daughter of the Wang Family, she was also a daughter-in-law of the Lu Family.

Her son’s Talent, for any Family, was that of a Qilin child!

How could she face her husband if she sent her son to the Wang Family!

Over the years, her husband, Lu Xingchen, had treated her impeccably; how could she do such a selfish thing?

Furthermore, the Wang Family Old Ancestor’s Lifespan was running out and he would not be able to last until her son, Lu Xuangan, rose and became a Core Formation cultivator.

If the Wang Family’s hostile forces knew that the Wang Family had produced a Five Elements Body, they would certainly pay a great price to eliminate her son, which would be equivalent to putting her son in danger.

Although the Wang Family would conceal her son’s information.

But as a Core Formation seed of the Wang Family, she was suspected of being betrayed by a Family traitor; how could she be at ease with her own situation?

The Five Elements Wang Family had declined to this point; it was no longer as simple as the Core Formation Old Ancestor’s Lifespan running out; there were problems at the root!

Wang Yanjing pondered for a long time, preparing to discuss this matter with her husband, Lu Xingchen, later and ask for his opinion.

She wondered if there could be a compromise, using her son, Lu Xuangan, to make the relationship and cooperation between the Lu Family and the Wang Family closer.

Then, through the Lu Family, help her son obtain the Wang Family’s Legacy.

This way, when her son grew up, he could also support the Wang Family a little in the future.

“As long as Qian’er obtains the complete Cultivation Technique Legacy of the Lu Family, he will have hope of reaching Core Formation, and even Nascent Soul, in the future, and if he can inherit the Old Ancestor’s Magic Treasure…”

Although Wang Yanjing cultivated the Wang Family’s Family-suppressing Cultivation Technique, she only had the Foundation Establishment chapters, with no subsequent Cultivation Techniques.

Moreover, she knew that her Family’s treasury also contained Magic Treasures passed down by the first Old Ancestor, and several Divine Abilities that only a Five Elements Body could master to maximize their power.

In the evening, Lu Xingchen returned Lu, somewhat tired.

Li Xingruo was still doing Alchemy, but she no longer managed affairs.

All matters concerning Medicinal Pills in the Lu Family were now his responsibility, and he still had many things to attend to every day.

“Husband, you must have worked hard today.”

When Wang Yanjing saw her husband return, she immediately approached him with a smile.

Although she had a strong personality, the couple treated each other with respect.

“It’s alright. The Lu Family is stable now. It’s just that the ‘Breakthrough Pill’ I’m refining always seems to be a little off.”

Lu Xingchen said with a smile.

Now that the Lu Family’s business expansion had stopped, he didn’t have to worry too much about affairs; his main concern was Alchemy, which often troubled him and consumed his mental energy.

“Alchemy is something that cannot be rushed…”

Wang Yanjing gently comforted him for a few moments, then said, “Come and eat quickly. Today, the dining hall has Cloud Ling stewed pigeon, Azure Water Spirit Mushroom rice, Dragon Saliva Carp soup…”

The Lu Family dining hall had already been built, and Lu Family Disciples could all go to the dining hall for meals with their identity tokens.

Her small Family would go and get some dishes, bring them back Lu, and then prepare a few side dishes and drinks for the Family to eat together.

“It’s so rich today. Where’s Qian’er?”

Lu Xingchen said with a smile, looking at the abundant dishes and drinks on the table.

“Qian’er was a bit tired from Cultivation today and is resting.”

Wang Yanjing said softly, picking up the wine pot and pouring a cup of Monkey Wine for her husband, Lu Xingchen.

Then she looked at her husband with a serious expression, indicating that she had something to tell him.

“Sister Jing, we have been husband and wife for so many years; you can just speak your mind.”

Lu Xingchen rarely saw his wife look so serious, and he immediately straightened up a bit.

“Husband, actually, I’ve been hiding something from you…”

Wang Yanjing said in a low voice.

When she first met Lu Xingchen years ago, she fabricated a false identity, claiming to be Li Jingyi from an ordinary Family.

She had used this identity for so many years.

Now, seeing her son’s Five Elements Body, she decided to directly confess her true identity and Origin.

“Actually, I am from the Five Elements Wang Family, and my name is Wang Yanjing.”

Wang Yanjing revealed her information.

“Five Elements Wang Family!?”

After so many years of being together, Lu Xingchen had long known that his wife was not ordinary.

She was not like a daughter from an ordinary Family who had just broken through Foundation Establishment and then dropped in Realm.

He had suspected the authenticity of his wife’s identity years ago, but his investigation found no problems, and she treated him very well, so he didn’t pay too much attention to it.

He never expected that his wife actually came from the Five Elements Wang Family, one of the three great Families of Jiang Country!

Although the Wang Family was now in decline and desolate, it was still not comparable to ordinary Family forces.

“I never thought Sister Jing was from the Wang Family. I knew you weren’t from an ordinary Family, otherwise, how would you know so much?”

Lu Xingchen said with a smile, not minding his wife’s deception, believing she had her difficulties.

“Husband, don’t you mind that I’ve been hiding it from you all this time?”

Wang Yanjing bit her lip lightly, looking at her husband.

“Whether Sister Jing, you are Li Jingyi of the Li Family, or Wang Yanjing of the Wang Family, you are my wife.”

Lu Xingchen said with a sincere expression.

Then he asked with concern, “Sister Jing, are you telling me this today because something happened?”

Wang Yanjing’s beautiful face froze slightly upon hearing this, then she smiled sweetly.

Her husband was just that kind of sincere, overly good-natured person.

If not for that, he wouldn’t have risked saving her back then, or even sent her to the market and arranged a job for her.

However, it was precisely this kind of Heart-Nature that gave her a warmth and comfort she had never experienced before.

“It’s related to Qian’er. Today, when Qian’er was Cultivating and drawing Qi into his body, I felt something was off. Qian’er should possess a Spiritual Physique, the Five Elements Body.”

Wang Yanjing said, her voice trembling slightly.

Even now, she felt as if she were dreaming.

“Five Elements Body!?”

Lu Xingchen’s expression was surprised.

As a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, he naturally knew about the Five Elements Body.

He also knew that the rise of the Five Elements Wang Family relied on a Genius with a Five Elements Body.

He never expected that his wife was from the Five Elements Wang Family, and his own son was actually the legendary Five Elements Body!

“Mhm.”

Wang Yanjing nodded and expressed her thoughts.

She hoped that the Lu Family could establish contact with the Wang Family.

Leaving aside her son’s matter for now, she could reveal her situation in the Lu Family, and then wait for the Wang Family Elders to arrive before discussing the matter.

If the two Families cooperated closely, it would benefit not only her son, Lu Xuangan, but also the Wang Family and the Lu Family.

“Sister Jing, this matter is not urgent. Let’s first inform Aunt and Father.”

Lu Xingchen took a deep breath, calming his emotions.

In the Cultivation World, Geniuses were extremely important!

A top Genius like the Five Elements Body could determine the rise and fall of a Family force!

Although Lu Xingchen was tolerant of his wife, he would not make a decision on such a matter directly.

Moreover, he recalled his father’s early instructions not to let his son, Lu Xuangan, participate in the Family’s spiritual testing ceremony.

And he had arranged an extra medicinal bath for his son.

At the time, he didn’t think much of it.

Now that his wife said their son possessed the Five Elements Body, he suddenly remembered and suspected that his father had known about his son’s Talent early on.

As a Lu Family Disciple, after breaking through Foundation Establishment, he had come into contact with some of the Lu Family’s secrets and knew that his father was not as simple as he appeared.
