Chapter 71: Enormous Harvest (Part 1)

  Thank you [Xiao Yadam 888] for becoming the first patron of this book. Next Monday, an additional chapter will be added as a thank you!

  Xuan Tian looked at the heavy Yue Sword in his hand, which weighed 128 jin, and his eyes were filled with shock.

  The upper half of the Jian sword on Mount Chong is rusty, while the lower half inserted into the stone is smooth as jade, without any rust, extremely sharp.

  Moreover, holding the Heavy Mountain Sword, Xuan Tian felt a huge power coming from the sword body. He could be certain that using the Heavy Mountain Sword to slash out a single sword would be more than 60% higher in terms of attack power compared to the Frost Snow Sword, regardless of sharpness.

  Wielding the Heavy Yue Sword, Xuan Tian's attack power was almost comparable to that of a three-realm warrior in the Pre-Heavenly realm.

  The only drawback is that the sword is too heavy, although Xuantian's strength is frightening, but holding a 128-jin-heavy Re Yue Sword, its agility can't be compared to the Hanshuo Sword which weighs only a dozen or so jin.

  Xuān Tiān's current strong point lies in the word 'fast', emphasizing agility. Although his heavy sword is much better than his Frost Snow Sword, if he had to make a choice now, he would still choose to use the Frost Snow Sword.

  Unless the power of Xuantian can burst forth, to a certain extent, wielding the 128 jin heavy Re Yue Sword and the dozen or so jin heavy Han Xue Sword would be no different, only then could the might of the Re Yue Sword be unleashed.

  "Is this a Xuanjie treasure sword?"

  Looking at the heavy Yue sword in his hand, Xuan Tian let out a surprised cry.

  Ordinary weapons, even if they are famous ones, are only sharp. However, precious weapons inherently contain power, and this power can be bestowed upon the warrior, increasing their actual strength.

  Xuanjie Baoqi, even if it's an inner disciple of the Tianjian Sect, is extremely rare to have, and among ten people, maybe only one has it.

  All congenital boundary warriors who possess treasure instruments have only about 50% of them, and most of these 50% are congenital boundary warriors above the sixth level. Congenital boundary warriors below the sixth level, unless they have a special background or encounter some special circumstances, basically cannot possess Xuanjie treasure instruments.

  Chong Yue's sword is much larger than an ordinary sword, with a width of four fingers and a length of about 1.1 meters. If the hilt is included, its total length exceeds 1.2 meters.

  Xuantian used the Frost Snow Sword to remove the rust from the Heavy Mountain Sword, and the entire sword body shone like the moon, extremely bright. He thought to himself: "This Heavy Mountain Sword is probably a high-grade treasure, it shouldn't be bad."

  One hand holding the Frost Snow Sword, one hand holding the Heavy Mountain Sword, Xuan Tian stepped over the Stone Gate and continued forward.

  Just a dozen meters ahead, the cave turned to the right, and Xuanti followed the passage and turned around. The space in front of him suddenly became larger, and a stone chamber appeared.

  Xuantian stopped in his tracks, looked at the stone room, and his eyes fell on the inscription on the stone wall beside him: "Heavy Mountain Sword, a middle-grade treasure of the Xuanjie stage. Youngster, you can enter my Nine-Furnace Old Man's mausoleum, it seems that not only do you have fate with me, but also strength. This Heavy Mountain Sword will be given to you as a gift for our meeting."

  Originally, Zhong Yue's sword was a mid-grade treasure of the Xuan stage, and it was indeed extraordinary.

  "Jiuxian old man, I've never heard of his name. The Divine Land is vast and boundless, even my father only traveled to a small part of the Western and Northern realms. As for me, I've been to even fewer places, so I don't know where Jiuxian old man is from!"

  Xuantian's mind turned, and the mausoleum did not have any impact on him. He continued to walk forward, entering the stone chamber.

  This stone chamber is about five meters wide and eight meters long, located in the middle of the mountain, relatively spacious.

  The location indicated by the treasure map is right in the middle of this mountain peak, it must be here.

  Standing in the stone room, on the left side is the passage that just came in, and in front of it is a stone bed. On the stone bed sits a skull, with clothes and flesh already weathered away, leaving only a skeleton.

  On the right ring finger of the skull, a faintly shining ring was worn.

  Apart from this, the stone room is empty and simple, with nothing else.

  On the stone wall on the right side, there are many words carved:

  Junior, I am a county-level refiner, because I created the refining technique "Nine Forging Technique", others call me Old Man Nine Forging. This is my residence and also my tomb. The only mistake in my life was that in my later years, I took in a wrong disciple named Duan Jianghe, who joined the evil Blood Refining Sect, causing my entire family to be exterminated, leaving me alone, lonely and destitute, walking towards the Yellow Spring Road with this hatred filling the sky.

  All that I have learned is stored in the spatial ring on my hand. If you want to obtain my legacy, you must kneel nine steps away from me and kowtow three times, then make a solemn vow: after obtaining my legacy, if Duan Jianghe is still alive, within ten years, take his head as an offering to me; if you break this vow, heaven will strike you with lightning, and you will not die a good death!

  When I passed away, it was the year 926 of the new calendar of Shen Zhou. The rebellious cut off the rivers and streams. At that time, I was only 16 years old, a young junior. With just one oath, you can obtain the legacy of a land-level alchemist. What do you think of this deal? If you agree, kneel down and take an oath. If not, then leave as you came!

  "It turns out that it is related to the Blood Refining Sect, which is called an evil cult by the warriors of the Divine State. However, it is a first-rate sect that can compete with the Tianxing Pavilion for the position of overlord of the Divine State. Twenty years ago, the Blood Refining Sect and the Tianxing Pavilion had a fierce battle, and the master of the Blood Refining Sect was defeated by the master of the Tianxing Pavilion, and its power retreated to the overseas demon domain."

  "Space Ring? It's actually a Space Ring? This is an ancient, rare treasure passed down from the primordial era, even rarer than Heaven Stage artifacts. Among the strong in the Heaven Stage realm, less than one in ten possess a Space Ring, not even my father has one. With just this ring alone, it's already an unparalleled treasure."

  "This is the year 969 of the new calendar of Shen Zhou, 43 years have passed, Duan Jiang He is only 59 years old this year. Twenty years ago, the Lian Xue Sect and Tian Xing Pavilion fought for dominance but failed, many sect members and masters died, it's unknown whether Duan Jiang He died in that battle or not, if he was alive, at 59 years old, he should still be in this world."

  Xuantian watched on one side while thinking in his heart.

  The lair of the Blood Refining Sect is located in the boundless sea area east of the Divine Land, and because the Blood Refining Sect is called an evil sect or a demonic sect by the warriors of the Divine Land, the boundless sea area is also referred to as the overseas demonic domain.

  A thousand years ago, the powerful Qin Emperor rose to power and established the Great Qin Empire, unifying the Divine State.

  It is said that the Qin Emperor sought immortality and sent people everywhere to find a way to live forever. Just a few years after unifying China, the Qin Emperor vanished into thin air, as if he had evaporated. The powerful Qin Empire collapsed instantly due to his disappearance.

  Since the collapse of the Great Qin Empire, the Divine State has never been unified again. From the year the Great Qin Empire collapsed, it was called the first year of the new calendar of the Divine State.

  For nearly three hundred years, the Tiān Xīng Gé has been the overlord of the Divine Land. Decades ago, the overseas demonic realm's Liàn Xuè Jiào expanded its power to the Divine Land, and after more than twenty years of development, it threatened the Tiān Xīng Gé's position as overlord.

  Finally, twenty years ago, a battle for hegemony broke out, and the Tianxing Pavilion and Lianxue Sect engaged in a fierce battle. The Tianxing Pavilion had the help of the four major second-rate forces in Shen Zhou, and the struggle with the Lianxue Sect was always at an advantage.

  Finally, the master of Lianxue Sect and the master of Tianxing Pavilion had a shocking battle that lasted for a day and a night. In the end, the master of Tianxing Pavilion was one step ahead, and the master of Lianxue Sect was defeated. The entire power of Lianxue Sect was purged from the land of Shenzhou and retreated back to the overseas demonic realm.

  "The inheritance of a provincial-level alchemist is right in front of me, how can I not take it? Dujiang River doesn't know what position he holds in the Blood Refining Sect, but my enemy to be killed is also a super strong expert at the Heavenly Stage. It doesn't matter if there's one more Dujiang River. If twenty years ago, Dujiang River had already died, then this oath would have been in vain. Moreover, returning by the original route is impossible, perhaps only after obtaining the inheritance of Old Man Jiuxian can I leave this place."

  Soon, Xuan Tian made a decision in his heart. He walked to the front of Jiu Lao and knelt down nine steps away, raised his hand to point at the sky and swore an oath:

  "Junior Xiaozi Xuántiān, having arrived at the tomb of the Ninth Forging Old Man, made a vow to obtain the Ninth Forging Old Man's Earth-level Refining Master inheritance: If the Ninth Forging Old Man's rebellious disciple Duànjiāng River still lives in this world, within ten years, Xuántiān will take Duànjiāng River's head and offer it as sacrifice to the Ninth Forging Old Man. If he breaks his vow, heaven will strike him with lightning, and he will not die a good death!"

  Dong——dong——dong!

  Having said that, Xuántiān gave Jiǔduàn old man three loud kowtows.

  Crack! After Xuantian finished knocking his head three times, the ground beside him cracked, and a stone slab split in two, revealing a small wooden box.

  This small wooden box is buried under the stone slab, where you kowtow, it should be a mechanism, kowtowing three times, this small wooden box may appear.

  "The old man with nine scars said that everything he had was in the space ring on his hand, what is this small wooden box?"

  Xuān Tiān carefully took out a small wooden box with a questioning look on his face.

  The small wooden box was not locked, and Xuan Tian lightly flipped it open. Inside, there was a layer of cloth wrapped around something. Xuan Tian picked up the cloth, revealing an ancient, worn-out, black ring that had lost its luster.

  On the cloth roll there were words, Xuan Tian opened it and took a look, his face changed color, only to see one side written:

  "Junior, you can kowtow to me three times, it should be a sworn oath, proving that you are a reliable person and will not cheat or deceive. Hehe... If you have ulterior motives and want to directly take the ring from my hand, then your life will be left here, buried with me."

  The glowing ring on my hand is just an ordinary ring, but it's the switch to the entire tomb. If I take it off my hand, the whole tomb will collapse and you'll be buried here with me for eternity. The real space ring is actually inside the wooden box in your hand.

  Inside, there are some refining equipment materials I've accumulated, as well as the 'Nine Forging Techniques' suitable for refining equipment. Removing impurities from the materials is the first step in refining equipment. As a refiner, without a strong physique, it's impossible to refine good treasures. Therefore, the Nine Forging Techniques are physical training techniques that enhance your physique, divided into nine stages. If you can cultivate up to the fourth stage, you'll be able to break through the stone wall in front of me and leave this place.

  As a refiner, you can't leave the relationship with fire and metal. Your physique needs to have both fire and gold properties. There is a testing stone in the space ring that tests these two properties. You can test it out and see if you are suitable to become a refiner.

  "There's also a big gift for you in the ring, don't forget your promise!"
