Little Struggle Peak.
Inside Cave Mansion No. 281.
Ning Zhuo held a small hamr, repeatedly striking the surface of the White-Faced Vajra.
That tal was extrely hard, and its surface glead white under the light.
While hamring, Ning Zhuo also executed the Refinent Technique, allowing his Mana to continuously seep into the tal, softening the White-Faced Vajra a bit, facilitating the hamring and shaping process.
After the hamring was finished, Ning Zhuo's Divine Sense took control, and three to five chanical Floating Hands stretched out their palms, aiming at the White-Faced Vajra.
Whoosh whoosh!
Five streams of fla were sprayed onto the White-Faced Vajra, heating it until it turned red-hot and quickly softened.
Rune after rune, small as fingertips, shimred silver-gray, flickering hidden within the White-Faced Vajra.
Ning Zhuo stimulated his Mana, embedding a piece of scripture into the White-Faced Vajra, successfully turning it into a Prohibition.
He activated the Floating Ice Jade Hands.
The White Jade Hand slowly flew above the White-Faced Vajra, while the other five chanical Floating Hands stopped spewing flas and retreated to the sides.
The Floating Ice Jade Hand's delicate fingers maneuvered the Finger Technique, releasing streams of frosty mist.
The mist was exceedingly fine, causing the White-Faced Vajra to cool down gradually.
If he had resorted to the usual rapid cooling thods, the White-Faced Vajra would have developed countless cracks upon the surface due to rapid contraction when suddenly imrsed in cold water. If such a thing occurred, it would have to be lted down and refined again.
Once the White-Faced Vajra had completely cooled, it floated in mid-air, forming a rectangular and flat shape.
Ning Zhuo took out the Tea Copper.
Three chanical Floating Hands appeared, emitting an invisible lifting force, holding the Tea Copper in mid-air.
Then, the palms of the chanical Floating Hands burst into flas once more, scorching the Tea Copper.
The Tea Copper slowly lted into a puddle of molten copper.
Ning Zhuo spurred on the Artifact Refining Technique, removing impurities from the molten copper and purifying it.
After this step, he used his Divine Sense to directly shape the molten copper.
He shaped the molten Tea Copper into a straight line, step by step.
Taking advantage of the Tea Copper not being fully cooled, Ning Zhuo imdiately took the previously hamred White-Faced Vajra and wrapped the Tea Copper around it in a circle, creating a hoop with ends eting.
Finally, he continued to exercise the spell, enveloping the Tea Copper with the Prohibition.
"Another Vajra Mirror." After inspecting it, Ning Zhuo was satisfied and stored it away in his Storage Waist Belt.
The refining technique of the Vajra Mirror ca from the Dharma Transmission Bell, taught by elder cultivators of the Three Superior Sect Techniques during the Foundation Establishnt Stage of the Mirror Stand Spirit Communication Technique.
The cultivation of the Mirror Stand Spirit Communication Technique required external aids. The details included the thods for crafting eight different types of magic mirror artifacts, with the Vajra Mirror being one among them.
Back on Mist Hidden Mountain, Ning Zhuo had competed with Sun Lingtong in Divine Sense, and had been defeated.
The gap between them was still large.
Ning Zhuo also revealed the truth to Sun Lingtong—that he needed chanical Artifacts to assist him if he was to unleash the full potential of the Mirror Stand Spirit Communication Technique, which would greatly extend the range of his Divine Sense.
During his ti on Mist Hidden Mountain, other than being constantly on the move, Ning Zhuo had been pondering over the thods of refining these magic mirrors.
After analyzing, he realized that the Vajra Mirror was relatively easy to craft, with simple steps and materials that were the easiest to acquire.
Therefore, after coming to Little Struggle Peak and having so ti, he began refining the Vajra Mirror.
This was already the third Vajra Mirror he had crafted.
"The Vajra Mirror is manageable; it doesn't require much from the refining environnt. But the next mirrors, if crafted solely by my hands, just won't do."
Ning Zhuo needed a slting furnace for Artifact Refining.
The Refining Cabin inside the Ten-Thousand-Li Travelling Dragon could be used, but it was far too costly for what it was worth—a waste of resources.
Nor did Ning Zhuo wish to rent an outside Artifact Refining Room for use.
In a strange place, he did not feel very at ease.
Do not think that the Ten Thousand dicine Sect is a large sect with good ethics; after all, it is made up of people.
Since they are people, they all conform to human nature.
The sect disciples in charge of positions are actually the ones most likely to bully an outsider cultivator like Ning Zhuo.
This could be seen from the sect disciple responsible for arranging the cave mansion. The disciple took bribes and never showed any hesitation.
This itself was a form of oppression from the local snakes!
The Artifact Refining Rooms in the outside world could potentially leak information about the artifact refining process.
Inside the Lava Fairy Palace, although the Dharma Transmission Bell rang through the whole place, only Ning Zhuo received the Foundation Establishnt Level Three Superior Sect Techniques.
Until ng Kui had deciphered the Dharma Transmission Bell, only Ning Zhuo mastered these Cultivation Techniques, so he always tried to keep them secret!
Ning Zhuo did not indulge in Artifact Refining.
Once refining ca to an end, he began his daily cultivation practices.
The Three Superior Sect Techniques, the Buddha, Dao, and Demon thods, were alternated in succession, steadily advancing Ning Zhuo's cultivation level.
At the mont, the rate at which Ning Zhuo's cultivation level was increasing was still considerable.
On one hand, he had innate talent and good comprehension. On the other hand, he never skimped on investing resources in his own cultivation.
Even within his cave mansion, Ning Zhuo would add many additional spirit stones to help maintain a high concentration of Spiritual Energy throughout his cultivation process.
While Ning Zhuo was halfway through his cultivation, the chanical bird suddenly started to chirp.
Knowing the ti had arrived, Ning Zhuo opened a gap in the cave mansion's array and let Sun Lingtong in.
In the days since entering the cave, Sun Lingtong had gone out every day, either hiding his presence or disguising himself, constantly gathering intelligence from various places.
This intelligence, personally collected, was much more detailed and reliable compared to what could be bought.
With such intelligence, Sun Ning and the other had gained a deeper understanding of Ten Thousand dicine Valley over these few days.
Surrounded by mountains on all sides, Ten Thousand dicine Valley had a valley at its center.
The four surrounding mountains were dicine Field Mountain, Little Struggle Peak, Great Struggle Peak, and Yuanlai Mountain.
dicine Field Mountain was almost entirely terraced fields, each tier planted with different dicinal herbs. It could be said that the whole land was covered with dicinal herbs.
Little Struggle Peak was inhabited by a large number of outsider cultivators, each with their own pursuits.
Great Struggle Peak housed the Myriad Demons Cave where many battles had taken place, staining the green mountains red with blood. However, it had been many years since any demon trouble had occurred.
The last of these, Yuanlai Mountain, was not originally one of the mountains in Ten Thousand dicine Valley but had been moved here along with the relocation of the Ten Thousand dicine Sect from elsewhere.
The mover of this mountain was the Mountain God of Yuanlai Mountain, possessing formidable strength! Through innate thods, he reached the level capable of moving mountains. However, due to overusing his strength, he fell into a deep slumber after the move and rarely responded to the calls of his worshippers.
The Ten Thousand dicine Sect relocated here at great cost because Ten Thousand dicine Valley is blessed with abundant Spiritual Energy.
Underneath it lies a broad subterranean river.
This underground river contains a rich concentration of Spiritual Energy and is a Water Elent Spirit Vein.
The waters of the valley springs are also all Spiritual Springs. The reason the Ten Thousand dicine Sect produces such a huge volu of dicinal herbs is precisely because of the ample irrigation provided by the Spirit Spring Water.
Thus, Yuanlai Mountain belongs to the mountain gate of the Ten Thousand dicine Sect, with various palaces, pavilions, and buildings standing in great numbers, where the sect cultivators reside.
The defenses here are the most stringent.
Great Struggle Peak has the weakest defenses because too many wars have occurred there; nearly every inch of the soil has been stained with the blood of demon cultivators and human cultivators. Hence, Great Struggle Peak is considered an acquired land of treachery with an overbearing aura of slaughter, unsuitable for the cultivation of dicinal herbs.
Little Struggle Peak is the place where the Ten Thousand dicine Sect specifically settles outsider cultivators. These cultivators are naturally a mixed bag, each with their own sches.
The central valley surrounded by the four mountains is Ten Thousand dicine Valley.
The terrain in the valley is flat, the soil fertile, with springs of Spiritual Energy as nurous as stars intertwining and forming nurous Spiritual Spring channels.
Here is placed the Six Harmonies Longevity Array, where the most valuable and rare dicinal herbs of the Ten Thousand dicine Sect are planted.
By comparison, the dicinal herbs on dicine Field Mountain are mainly for generating volu, serving as rchandise for external sales.
