"Senior, hello. As a Core Formation stage Cultivator, you can go directly to the fifth or sixth floor to purchase items you desire."
Hearing the words of the attendant at the entrance, Li Feiyu nodded slightly and walked straight in, then stepped onto the Green Jade stairs and went all the way up.
A Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivator approached, dressed as a service staff member here.
"Senior, what would you like? If you need, I can recommend some things to you."
"I'm looking for Xing Jueyi. He said he had something prepared for me."
The Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivator was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted, "You are Senior Li Feiyu, aren't you? Young Master Tianfeng had already given instructions."
"Please follow me."
Arriving at a luxurious room, the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivator said, "This is Young Master Tianfeng's exclusive room. He is currently not in Heavenly Star City. When he returns, I will inform him of your visit."
He picked up a Jade Slip from the table and handed it to Li Feiyu, "This is the gift Young Master Tianfeng prepared for you. Please keep it well."
Li Feiyu examined it. It was indeed the subsequent Cultivation Technique for the Azure Wood Green Thunder Art, which could lead directly to Golden Core Great Perfection. However, looking at the end, there seemed to be more to it.
Did their Chamber of Commerce not have it, or was the subsequent part too valuable and beyond Xing Jueyi's capabilities?
Li Feiyu thought for a moment and then gave up on the idea. He then asked, "Do you have the Nascent Soul Stage Cultivation method for the Azure Wood Green Thunder Art here?"
The Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivator paused, "Nascent Soul Stage Cultivation Techniques are not within my scope of business. I need to consult the supervisor."
"Then do you have the Taiyin Mysterious Water Formula Cultivation Technique?"
"Senior, please wait a moment while I check."
A moment later, the Cultivator returned, apologizing, "Currently, our Chamber of Commerce does not have this set of Cultivation Techniques, but we do have information about it, valued at one hundred Spirit Stones. Does Senior need it?"
Li Feiyu tapped his fingers on the table, then nodded slightly. A flash of light from his Storage Pouch, and a Medium Grade Spirit Stone flew out onto the table.
The Cultivator put away the Spirit Stone and then said, "The Taiyin Mysterious Water Formula originated from an ancient Cultivator's Immortal Cave. Rumor has it that it can lead directly to Soul Transformation, but no one has ever seen a Soul Transformation Realm Cultivation Technique, so it might still be in the Immortal Cave."
"When the Taiyin Mysterious Water Formula first appeared, it was ultimately snatched by a late stage Core Formation Elder of the Tianyu Commerce Alliance, and since then, it has become a Cultivation Technique exclusively sold by their Tianyu Commerce Alliance."
"Then, to what Realm can their Cultivation Technique be Cultivated?"
"It is said to be up to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage."
"Please also provide me with the information about that ancient Cultivator's Immortal Cave. This should be included in the fee, right?"
"That is natural." The Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivator said, "That ancient Cultivator's Immortal Cave opens once every fifty years. It has already opened five times, and the next time will be in fifteen years, located on Liyang Island in the Outer Star Sea."
"Five times? Are you sure it hasn't been emptied yet?"
"The outer layer seems to be, but the inner layer is not. According to a Nascent Soul Stage Formation Grandmaster, the inner layer opens once every three hundred years. If the rumors are true, the next time will be when the inner layer opens."
"Alright, I understand."
Li Feiyu walked out of the room and began to browse, looking for any suitable Heaven And Earth Treasure.
Although he now had the High Grade Magic Treasure, lihuo cauldron, it was best to refine his own Lifebound Treasure. However, with his Five Elements Heavenly Spiritual Root, the most suitable Magic Treasure would undoubtedly be one with all Five Elements.
However, he had yet to encounter such an item.
"Do I have to conceive and create it myself?"
Thinking of this, Li Feiyu felt a headache. He was not an innovative research Genius; asking him to come up with one himself would undoubtedly be taking his life.
He found a service staff member and asked him if there were any books on fantastical Magic Treasure refining here.
As it turned out, there were. After the person brought them, Li Feiyu immediately began to read.
Most of them were indeed fantastical, like the City in the Sky, or the Shield of Absolute Defense. The Materials alone for those could not possibly exist in the Human Realm. Li Feiyu felt that the compilers might have made them up on the spot.
"Hmm, the Great Five Elements Reincarnation Plate, with the Stone of Time as its core, condenses five top-grade Five Elements Materials. Once the Reincarnation Plate is activated, any Five Elements Spiritual Root within its luminous range will have its actions restricted by five to ten times, while non-Five Elements will be restricted by one to two times."
"Haha, the Stone of Time. This involves the Time Law. It is probably only possible for it to be born in the Immortal Realm, and it is an incredibly precious item."
"However, if a way can be found to preserve the longevity liquid for a long time in the outside world, perhaps another path could be forged."
Li Feiyu continued to read on, and the following sections also introduced Magic Treasures with complete Five Elements.
"Great Five Elements Sword Formation..."
Li Feiyu found it very interesting after reading it, and it was indeed possible to succeed, but the Materials required were almost massive.
Each system could individually serve as a set of Sword Formations, totaling seventy-two Flying Swords. Their power was already unparalleled. When combined with the Five Systems and the Great Five Elements Formation Diagram, they possessed unfathomable might, making it easy to fight beyond one's Realm.
This Great Five Elements Formation Diagram, according to what was stated, was improved from the ancient Formation Diagrams, the Great Five Elements Formation and the Inverted Five Elements Formation. It could be positive or negative, with endless wondrous uses.
Li Feiyu praised it endlessly after reading it, having to admit that there were indeed Geniuses and prodigies in the world.
People like Xin Ruyin, if they could continue on, might also be able to achieve such astonishing feats.
Li Feiyu said, "Do you know anything about Gu Changfeng, the creator of this Great Five Elements Sword Formation mentioned in the book?"
The service Cultivator said, "Gu Changfeng was a Core Formation Cultivator from three hundred years ago, incredibly talented and brilliant. Everyone said he had the Aptitude to enter the Nascent Soul Stage, but because he spent too much time on Formations, he delayed his Cultivation."
"By the end of his Lifespan, he had only reached the Core Formation Middle Stage."
"However, relying on the Formations he created and modified, even a late stage Core Formation Cultivator was no match for him. Given time to prepare, he could even trap and kill Nascent Soul old monsters."
Li Feiyu was slightly surprised, "Did he really kill a Nascent Soul?"
"That's what the rumors say."
"Then does he have any descendants?"
"No, but the Gu Family resides in the northern part of Heavenly Star City. Senior can go and take a look; perhaps there will be some gain."
Li Feiyu's heart stirred, "Understood, you may leave."
Now that he had entered Core Formation, besides daily Qi refining, Cultivating various Divine Abilities, and nurturing Devouring Gold Bugs, Li Feiyu also planned to start researching Formations and Artifact Refining.
Therefore, he purchased a large amount of low-grade Artifact Refining Materials and related books.
He wished he had several Incarnations to help him handle miscellaneous tasks and research Artifact Refining and Formations.
However, methods for condensing Incarnations were hard to find; most were kept secret.
Next time he saw Xing Jueyi, he would ask him, or when he saw Han Li, he would exchange a copy using Devouring Gold Bugs.
Li Feiyu used the lihuo cauldron for Artifact Refining. The flame it emitted was no weaker than his Dan Fire, and it was more stable and less strenuous, only requiring Mana and Spiritual Qi.
Melting low-grade Materials with the lihuo cauldron's flame took almost no time, so controlling the temperature became even more critical. The first few times, he accidentally incinerated the Materials completely.
The Artifact Refining process mainly involved refining Materials, condensing and Fusion of various Materials, followed by shaping and cooling.
Formation Flags and Formation Plates, on the other hand, were much more troublesome, also requiring the engraving of Formation patterns.
The process was not difficult; the difficulty lay in the Material recipes and temperature control.
If many Materials were arbitrarily combined, they could very likely have adverse effects. Ordinary Cultivators, if not specialized Artifact Refining Great Masters, would follow established procedures for refining.
Most Cultivation Technique Legacies would include the refining steps and required Materials for accompanying Magical Artifacts and Magic Treasures.
Li Feiyu attempted Artifact Refining in his Immortal Cave. His first successful refinement was a Medium Grade Magical Artifact, and he later refined High Grade Magical Artifacts, and even top-grade Magical Artifacts.
Time flowed like water, passing swiftly.
Three years passed in the blink of an eye.
