Chapter 809 Know yourself and the enemy
Chen Yunhao placed an order with two master craftsmen for two different defensive magical treasures.
He first needs to retrieve something, which is nearly ten million miles away from Yongchang Immortal City, so getting there shouldn't be a problem.
Although Zong Duan is a cultivator who has transcended tribulation, he is not yet capable of controlling a master weapon refiner.
In particular, both of these weapon-refining masters have reached the Tribulation Transcending stage.
It is impossible to refine a top-grade spiritual treasure without undergoing tribulation, because top-grade spiritual treasures contain some of the rules of heaven and earth.
A cultivator who hasn't reached the Tribulation Transcending stage cannot grasp these rules of heaven and earth, and therefore cannot integrate them when refining artifacts, thus making it impossible to refine top-grade spiritual treasures.
Therefore, a weapon-refining master with the cultivation level of Transcending Tribulation is not subject to anyone's influence, so Chen Yunhao can confidently and boldly take it.
After traveling for three or four days, Chen Yunhao arrived at a sacred mountain.
Calling it a sacred mountain is not an exaggeration at all. This mountain is not large, only a few hundred miles in circumference, and is covered by an array to prevent the rich spiritual energy from dissipating.
There are at least level six spiritual veins beneath this mountain range, which can also be called a blessed land.
This is the mountain gate of the Fire Refining Sect, a well-known weapon-refining sect in Yanyang Prefecture. Although the sect is not large, no one dares to provoke it.
It was all because of that great master within the sect, one of the six weapon-refining grandmasters, Master Wen.
At that time, Chen Yunhao had pre-ordered a traditional spirit shield from Master Wen, agreeing to pick it up five years later.
At that time, not only were the materials sent in, but the refining fee was also paid in advance.
Now, ten years have passed, and it must have been perfected.
Master Wen rarely went out; he almost always stayed within the mountain gate.
"Go tell Master Wen that I've come to collect the custom-made spiritual treasure...!"
Chen Yunhao's figure appeared suddenly in front of the Fire Refining Sect's mountain gate like a ghost, startling the disciples guarding it.
"These disciples are all at the Foundation Establishment stage, so of course they can't see through Chen Yunhao's cultivation level."
However, the fact that Master Wen personally crafted a spiritual treasure suggests that Chen Yunhao's cultivation level is quite high.
Because those with the Mahayana stage cultivation level are not qualified to have Master Wen personally refine them; only those with the Tribulation Transcending stage cultivation level are qualified.
"Senior, please wait a moment...!"
The disciples at the gate certainly dared not be negligent. This was a cultivator in the Tribulation Transcending stage. There were only a few dozen old monsters in the Spirit Realm, and each of them was a formidable figure. How could they dare to be negligent in the slightest?
About half a cup of tea later, a cultivator with Mahayana cultivation arrived swiftly from inside the mountain gate.
"Senior Chen, my master instructed me that this is a spiritual treasure he crafted for you. My master is currently refining a weapon and cannot leave his seclusion. Please understand..."
The Mahayana cultivator flipped his hand, and a palm-sized shield appeared in his palm.
Chen Yunhao swiftly caught the object in mid-air, held it in his hand, and examined it carefully for a few moments.
This shield is a top-grade spiritual treasure, belonging to a relatively traditional type of self-defense item.
There are nine kinds of raw materials, all of which are extremely rare treasures in the spirit world.
First of all, this magical treasure is extremely hard. According to Master Wen himself, this treasure can withstand at least five bolts of tribulation lightning.
Actually, that's enough. This treasure wasn't meant for everyday protection; it was specially designed and crafted according to Chen Yunhao's requirements, primarily to withstand celestial lightning.
This is a passive defensive magical artifact, its main feature being its durability.
Chen Yunhao had also carefully calculated in his mind that even if he could withstand three tribulations, he would be very satisfied, because he could infinitely replicate them and make twenty or thirty pieces, which would be enough to overcome the Immortal Tribulation.
Because the requirements were simple, this top-grade spiritual treasure wasn't made to be overly fancy.
It's just a simple shield with some patterns on it, which are actually spirit arrays, densely packed, layer upon layer.
Chen Yunhao was also a weapon refiner, although his skill level was much lower. However, with his current discerning eye, he could still judge the quality of the treasure in front of him.
"Excellent! As expected of a master craftsman. I am very satisfied with this treasure. Please thank your master for me. Farewell!"
Chen Yunhao deactivated his shield, smiled and nodded, then vanished in a flash.
Chen Yunhao is becoming more and more proficient in using spatial magic. Now, he doesn't use any flying magic to travel; he simply uses spatial magic directly.
It requires less effort, is faster, is more unpredictable, and its trajectory in the air is not even visible.
Only every few thousand or even ten thousand feet could one see a figure flash by, which was extremely eerie.
Chen Yunhao was heading to Yongchang Immortal City.
Of course, he was just in Yongchang Immortal City to inquire about some information.
The other master craftsman he commissioned was not in Yongchang Immortal City, but in a sect not far from the city.
Yongchang Immortal City belongs to this sect, but Chen Yunhao did not directly approach that sect.
Ten years is a very short time for cultivators; it's just a blink of an eye.
It's very possible that Zong Duanzhen will continue to wait for him.
He concealed his aura, changed his appearance, and transformed into a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, thus infiltrating Yongchang Immortal City.
As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated." To avoid trouble, Chen Yunhao still needed to find out what had happened in the past ten years.
Chen Yunhao had lived in Yongchang Immortal City for some time and was very familiar with the city.
After entering the city gate, he turned down two streets and went directly to a restaurant in the city.
This is also the most bustling restaurant in Yongchang Immortal City, with many cultivators coming and going, and a lot of information circulating.
After entering the restaurant, Chen Yunhao immediately asked for a small private room, a pot of spirit wine, and some food.
They called him back just as the waiter was about to leave.
"Young man, wait a moment, I have something to ask you...!"
Chen Yunhao smiled, reached out and took out a spirit crystal, and gently placed it on the table.
"What does Senior wish to know?"
The waiter was only at the Qi Refining stage. He was already quite lucky to get a few low-grade spirit stones during his daily cultivation, let alone spirit crystals.
The waiter glanced greedily at the spirit crystals on the table, then looked at Chen Yunhao with a hint of fear.
“I haven’t been here for many years. Tell me, what major or interesting things have happened in Yongchang Immortal City and the surrounding area in the past ten years or so?”
"This is a serious matter, senior, please allow me to think about it...!"
This place is a fairy city, and things happen every day. Over the past ten years, it has accumulated a lot of interesting stories. For a while, the waiter didn't know where to begin.
"More than ten years ago, a major event occurred at an iron ore vein 100,000 miles west of the city. It is said that several powerful cultivators who had undergone tribulation had a dispute, resulting in the deaths of many prospecting cultivators..."
This waiter had lived in the city for decades and knew quite a lot.
He picked and chose, recounting more than a dozen things in one go, but only the first one was related to Chen Yunhao.
Of course, the rest of the story hasn't been told yet, and Chen Yunhao listened patiently.
