A Flying Boat erged from its Tunneling Light, returning to the docks of the Northern Army Governor’s Mansion. Watched by a crowd of awestruck onlookers, Iron Head flew down from the vessel. During the battle to exterminate the Demon Cultivators, he had single-handedly and effortlessly dispatched the Middle Stage Foundation Establishnt Demon Cultivator, running him through with his spear after just a dozen exchanges.
Of the other three Demon Cultivators, two also died by his hand.
When his Big Spear danced, truly few could stand against him.
The Demon Cultivators’ Defensive Spiritual Artifacts were torn apart as easily as paper.
Iron Head went alone to report to Yang Jing. Thanks to sufficient intelligence and the assistance of local Cultivators, the operation had been extrely smooth. Not a single Demon Cultivator from Kangyang Mountain escaped; all were exterminated.
Yang Jing inspected the heads, confird they were all Demon Cultivators without error, and then credited the rit Points to Iron Head and his group.
For these ordinary Demon Cultivators, his authority as a Seven Kingdoms Minister was more than enough to award the rit Points.
"In the Five Elents, Wood overcos Earth. Since you have already refined the Nine Flas True Fire, you can try to use it to suppress the Kunli True Fire and refine it. However, if you find your strength lacking, you must not force it."
Yang Jing advised.
For the next month, Yang Jing’s life was quite leisurely.
He focused most of his energy on improving his Cultivation and familiarizing himself with the Artifact Refining Technique, and he refined quite a few Magical Artifacts. When a superior shows a liking for sothing, his subordinates are sure to follow suit.
After learning that Yang Jing was studying the Artifact Refining Skill, many of his subordinates, the Great Trading Houses, and the Immortally Cultivation Clans of the Northern Domain began to search for and present him with all sorts of Magical Artifact schematics and Spiritual Materials.
Yang Jing didn’t accept them for free. He would gift back the successfully refined Magical Artifacts, and sotis the value of the Magical Artifacts even exceeded that of the schematics.
The Five Elents Refining Technique, combined with his Four Elents True Fire, made it child’s play for Yang Jing to refine most Tier One and Tier Two Magical Artifacts. Furthermore, the successfully refined Magical Artifacts were well above average quality.
Gradually, his reputation as an Artifact Refining Master spread throughout the Western Continent, and so people actually began to visit him, bringing Spirit Stones and Spiritual Materials to request he refine Magical Artifacts for them.
After all, given Yang Jing’s status, it was impossible that he would be like those cunning Artifact Refiners who would intentionally fail the refining process just to embezzle the Spiritual Materials.
Yang Jing was also happy to use other people’s Spiritual Materials to practice his Artifact Refining Technique. He even handed over all the Tier One Magical Artifacts to Ji Feng for refining, saving himself the trouble of gathering Spiritual Materials. He himself focused on researching Tier Two Magical Artifacts.
anwhile, Iron Head used the intelligence provided by the various Foundation Establishnt Clans to purge Demon Cultivators throughout the Seven Kingdoms. In just three short months, more than twenty Demon Cultivators had died by his hand.
Although most of them were just cannon fodder who had cultivated fast-track Demon Skills like the Three Yin Green Blood Scripture, he still established a considerable reputation. ddlers began calling him the second Yang Jing, the Divine Spear Child.
Today, Yang Jing summoned Ji Feng before him.
"Ji Feng, have you had any new insights into the Artifact Refining Technique recently?"
Ji Feng had indeed refined a great number of Magical Artifacts during this period and had made great progress in the Five Elents Refining Technique.
[Five Elents Refining Technique: Integration and Mastery (7%)]
In this past month, his progress in the Five Elents Refining Technique had advanced by a full 3%, which was equivalent to his progress over the last half-year.
After all, in the past, it would take him five or six days just to gather enough Spiritual Materials to begin refining a single Magical Artifact. Now, he could refine three or four Magical Artifacts every day. The two situations were completely incomparable.
Ji Feng honestly shared his insights on the Artifact Refining Skill. His ti spent imrsed in the art of artifact refining far surpassed Yang Jing’s. Yang Jing listened, his expression unchanging, but in reality, he gained a great deal.
"Not bad. It seems you haven’t wasted this ti. Lean your head forward."
Yang Jing said with a nod.
Ji Feng was overjoyed. ’Isn’t Master about to perform an Empowernt on ?’ he thought, and imdiately and happily leaned his head forward.
Yang Jing chose to spend Spirit Stones to upgrade Ji Feng’s Five Elents Refining Technique.
The Five Elents Refining Technique was, after all, an Artifact Refining Technique that only Inner Sect Disciples of the Five Elents True Spirit Sect could learn. It was profound and vast, and the number of Spirit Stones required to upgrade it was in no way inferior to that of a Golden Core Technique.
Yang Jing directly spent over ten thousand Spirit Stones to raise the Five Elents Refining Technique to the Mastery realm.
Raising it to the Peak Realm would require over sixty thousand Spirit Stones. At this ti, that would tie up too much capital. Before long, the Seven Nations Ticket Shop would be issuing new shares. If he bought shares with Spirit Stones now, he could easily double his investnt in the future.
Besides, the Five Elents Refining Technique at the Mastery realm was more than sufficient to refine Tier Two Spiritual Artifacts.
Ji Feng’s eyes snapped open. He could feel a continuous stream of insights about the Five Elents Refining Technique pouring into his mind. Compared to these new insights, his previous understanding of the technique felt so incredibly shallow.
"The more I looked up at it, the higher it seed. The more I tried to drill into it, the harder it beca. I saw it before , and suddenly it was behind."
When the Empowernt ended, Ji Feng imdiately bowed respectfully to his master, Yang Jing, not at all concerned about the level of his Cultivation he had lost. If he had studied on his own, raising his Artifact Refining Technique to its current realm would have certainly taken him several decades at least.
Compared to that, what did one lost level of Cultivation matter?
"Practice diligently and do not slack off."
Yang Jing said to Ji Feng, then turned, leaving him with a mysterious and inscrutable back to contemplate.
Ji Feng nodded repeatedly, making a resolution in his heart. With his greatly improved Artifact Refining Technique, he could definitely refine five Magical Artifacts in a single day.
After Ji Feng left, Yang Jing began to refine a Magical Artifact.
This ti, he was going to refine a Defensive Spiritual Artifact. The materials were three Armor Plates taken from a turtle shell sent over by the Golden Core Clan, the Shangshui Yang Family. The shell had co from a Transford Turtle Demon that possessed a Golden Core Cultivation.
It was slain by the ancestor of the Shangshui Yang Family thirty years ago when he went out to sea.
