He leaned against the ground, glanced at Ji Yuan beside him, hesitated for a mont, and finally couldn’t contain his curiosity and asked, "Have you achieved Body Foundation Establishnt?"
"How could that be possible."
Ji Yuan couldn’t help but laugh, "Is there a thod for Body Foundation Establishnt on the Cangluo Continent? I rely have the advantage of youth, plus I just established my foundation, so my internal energy and blood have increased significantly, that’s all."
"That’s true."
Isle Master Tie Chui nodded, that should be the case. Body Foundation Establishnt... was nothing more than an obsession of his. In fact, over the years, he had traveled to many places in Shang Dong and t quite a few body refiners, but the highest level he encountered was those who had achieved the Great Accomplishnt of Body Refinent, and he had never heard of Body Foundation Establishnt.
"Co, it’s rare for you to visit, let’s have a al first."
Isle Master Tie Chui paused for a mont and then got up.
Then Ji Yuan familiarly took out so liquor. This ti, even more surprisingly, Isle Master Tie Chui personally cooked and prepared a table full of dishes for Ji Yuan.
"Co, eat!"
The two drank and feasted together.
Halfway through the al, Ji Yuan expressed his own thoughts.
Isle Master Tie Chui listened carefully, then put down his wine cup, "Why do you want this kind of magical artifact? It can’t kill enemies, and to resist attacks, it would require a lot of good materials, which is very wasteful."
A magical artifact like an iron box that can enlarge and shrink—Isle Master Tie Chui couldn’t think of what purpose it could serve.
"No need for any good materials, as long as it can change size, nothing else is required. As for its use... well, it’s convenient for lodging when traveling."
Ji Yuan couldn’t think of any excuse.
Fortunately, Isle Master Tie Chui didn’t ask further, "Sure, if no other effects are needed, it’s simple. After the al, I’ll teach you, and you can forge it yourself."
"Oh? Alright."
When Ji Yuan heard that Isle Master Tie Chui was willing to teach him artifact refining, he beca even more interested. Once he learned, he could establish an Artifact Refining Room upon returning.
As for learning a lot and diversely... it never hurts to have more skills when traveling abroad.
So, after the al, Isle Master Tie Chui tossed a low-grade spiritual artifact level iron hamr to Ji Yuan, "Artifact refining and alchemy actually share so common ground, which is that the tool in hand can’t be inferior."
"For talisman painting, you need high-quality talisman brushes, talisman ink, and talisman paper. For alchemy, you need a good alchemy furnace. Likewise, for artifact refining, you need a top-notch hamr plus an even better iron furnace."
"Actually, one of the main reasons why there are not many artifact refiners is because artifact refining requires a large investnt and there’s also substantial loss."
"If you’re looking to refine ordinary magical artifacts, it’s okay, but if you’re moving on to spiritual artifacts, then it becos more challenging."
With soone guiding him, Ji Yuan listened very attentively.
"Alright, did you prepare any materials?"
"No..." Ji Yuan originally thought to ask first, and if feasible, he would then buy them.
"Damn, ca here to sponge off , huh."
Isle Master Tie Chui glared, imdiately tossing over a black iron block the size of a human head, "Hamr!"
"Hamr it directly? Shouldn’t it be heated first?"
Ji Yuan asked, bewildered.
When it cos to artifact refining, he’s largely ignorant.
"This Black Heart Rock is special; it has to be hamred raw, you won’t get the effect if it’s hamred after being heated." Isle Master Tie Chui explained.
Ji Yuan obediently complied, beginning his blacksmithing venture, but after tirelessly hamring for a whole day, just when he was nearly done with the Black Heart Rock, Isle Master Tie Chui took it away.
"This isn’t..."
"Isn’t what, you’re not supposed to use such fine material for an ordinary magical artifact." Isle Master Tie Chui glared.
"So, Senior is basically making a laborer, right?"
Ji Yuan said helplessly.
"Nonsense, this is covering your tuition fee. Co, let show you a few tricks, then you’ll know if you’ve lost or gained."
Isle Master Tie Chui said, moving in front of the huge instrunt furnace. With a single hand seal, he imdiately ignited the subterranean fire, and in an instant, a wave of heat swept over.
Ji Yuan hurriedly stepped forward.
"As for artifact refining, don’t listen to those random tips, such as what temperature is needed for the minerals and how long they should be burned... before spiritual artifacts, those materials don’t matter. What you really need to focus on is intense fire burning and heavy hamring."
"Those tips are because they are not body cultivators and can’t hamr for that long, so they found many clever ways, but we don’t need them. We just need to hamr."
Isle Master Tie Chui said, quite proud.
"I know, great strength produces miracles."
Isle Master Tie Chui was hearing such a saying for the first ti, and froze for a mont, "You are right, that’s exactly it."
"..."
"Hamr hard, you you weakling, didn’t you eat?"
"..."
"This corner here can’t be hamred rigidly; it requires finesse, three fires, one burn and eight hamrings, that’s my unique trick."
"..."
Over the following ten days, Ji Yuan went nowhere, just stayed on Hamr Island learning artifact refining with Isle Master Tie Chui, and fortunately, on Mist Island, Tu Yue and the Big Toad were there helping take care of things.
So Ji Yuan had no worries.
Ten days later.
When Ji Yuan looked at the "house" that he painstakingly hamred out, it was a low-grade magical artifact, usable yet unsightly when released. He initially wanted a rectangular house, but this one... it’s top-heavy, and when inverted, it was a bit wobbly.
He worried that when engaging in battle, if brought out, the house might collapse before the opponent made a move.
"Damn, you’re so useless, let do it!"
Isle Master Tie Chui, seeing Ji Yuan take ten days to forge a single artifact, felt so envy; it took him eighty or ninety days to hamr out his first one, a brick-like artifact.
That’s the sense of it.
Though scoffed at, Ji Yuan still put away the "house," his first self-made artifact—despite lacking practical value, it held collectible value.
After a day, Ji Yuan sensed the gap between himself and Isle Master Tie Chui.
With the sa materials, what he produced was a low-grade magical artifact, but Isle Master Tie Chui produced a mid-grade magical artifact, and with so material additions, it beca a top-grade magical artifact.
Ultimately, Ji Yuan obtained two top-grade magical artifact level "Cave Mansion-like" artifacts, albeit of the worst kind at least still viable.
Upon receiving them, he couldn’t wait to test them.
If the Star Spiral Cloud Barrier Array and Star Dust Illusionary Killing Array could be directly initiated from these two houses, the effect would be strong.
After a good round of thanks to Isle Master Tie Chui, Ji Yuan departed with these two top-grade magical artifacts.
Inside the sect’s protection array, Ji Yuan dared not experint, fearing detection of anomalies during patrols, he rather spent more ti heading west of Water Dragon Sect, leaving the protection array, and arriving at an unnad barren island in an unnad body of water, then prepared to attempt.
The "Cave Mansion" was straightforward; after so thought, Ji Yuan engraved the words "Ji Mansion" inside the iron house, discovering a line of small characters above the iron house, visible only to him.
"Cave Mansion: lv3"
It worked!
Delighted, Ji Yuan quickly tried the other iron house, trying several thods, from attaching labels to engraving characters, unsuccessfully until he finally carved several array patterns inside this house.
Only then did the panel effect manifest itself.
"Array Room: lv2"
Looking at the two iron houses before him, Ji Yuan concentrated his heart thought.
Suddenly, two arrays swept across, imdiately enveloping the whole barren island.
