Chapter 96 - 96: Four Years
Chapter 96: Four Years
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Just like that, four years passed in a flash.
In the first year, Jiang Chengxuan successfully broke through to the eighth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
The total True Essence in his body increased by more than 30%.
Then, he began to refine the Clear Lake Sword.
This time, he only spent three months successfully refining this high-grade Level 2 flying sword.
After that, he began his weapon-refinement cultivation.
At this moment, a system notification sounded.
[An achievement mission has been issued. Host, please reach Level 2 Weapon Refinement within two years.]
It had to be known that during the years he was in seclusion back then, he only managed to reach high-grade Level 1.
As for ordinary high-grade Level 1 weapon refiners, it was almost impossible for them to break through to Level 2 without decades.
If their talent was worse, it was very normal for them to be stuck at the high-grade Level 1 for the entirety of their lifetime.
Fortunately, Jiang Chengxuan had the talent for refining weapons. In addition, he had relatively sufficient materials to refine weapons.
Therefore, after spending about a year and a half, he successfully entered the domain of a Level 2 weapon refiner.
At the same time, the system’s voice sounded again.
[Congratulations, host. You have reached Level 2 weapon refinement. You have received +1 weapon refinement talent and the refinement method for a Level 3 Dharma treasure, the Golden Void Sword.]
This was the first time he had obtained two rewards from the system at once.
There was no need to talk about the +1 talent.
The reason why he could break through to Level 2 weapon refinement in such a short period of time was because of his weapon refinement talent that he received back then from the system.
The latter was what he needed the most at the moment.
Previously, he had been thinking about what kind of Level 3 Dharma treasure embryo he should refine.
At that time, he was clueless.
Even though Shen Ruyan had given him many suggestions, Jiang Chengxuan vaguely felt that he was still lacking something.
After all, this concerned his Dharma treasure, which would accompany him for the rest of his life. He could not tolerate any flaws.
If you were not careful, the Dharma treasure you refined might be incompatible with you.
That was quite a fatal thing.
Therefore, until now, Jiang Chengxuan was not completely sure what his future Level 3 Dharma treasure embryo would be.
But now.
When he saw the refinement method of the Golden Void Sword rewarded by the system, he immediately knew what his first Dharma treasure in the future should be.
Most importantly, after confirming in his heart that he was going to refine a Level 3 Dharma treasure embryo, the system actually issued him another mission.
[Achievement mission issued. Host, please complete the first refinement of a Level 3 Dharma treasure.]
Mind you!
What the system said here was to complete the first refinement of a Level 3ic Dharma treasure, not the refinement of a Level 3 Dharma treasure embryo.
Therefore, if Jiang Chengxuan wanted to complete this mission, he had to rely on his own ability to complete the refinement of a Level 3 Dharma treasure.
This prerequisite was that he had to raise his weapon refinement cultivation to Level 3.
He just did not know if the system’s hidden mission would be triggered after he raised his weapon refinement cultivation to Level 3.
He was looking forward to it.
After that.
Jiang Chengxuan began to draw the mid-grade Golden Armor Puppet Talisman.
With his current mid-grade Level 2 talisman-making cultivation, it was really not difficult to draw three mid-grade Level 2 Golden Armor Puppet Talismans.
About half a year later, he successfully drew three mid-grade Level 2 Golden Armor Puppet Talismans.
It had to be noted that this mid-grade Level 2 Golden Armor Puppet Talisman was much stronger than the low-grade Level 2 Golden Armor Puppet Talisman.
Not only did the golden-armored puppet summoned have combat strength comparable to the fifth or sixth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, but the power of their self-destruction had also reached the late-stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
The duration reached forty minutes.
From this, it could be deduced that if it was the high-grade Level 2 Golden Armor Puppet Talisman, the self-destruction power might reach that of the Violet Palace Realm.
After Jiang Chengxuan finished doing all these things, he did not come out of seclusion immediately.
Instead, he calmed down and began to sort out everything he had learned over the years.
This also allowed him to have a clearer understanding of his abilities, strength, and methods.
By the time he finished it, four years had passed quietly.
On this day.
Jiang Chengxuan walked out of his cultivation room.
Coincidentally, just as he walked out of his cultivation room, Shen Ruyan, who was in another cultivation room, also opened the door.
The couple looked at each other and smiled.
Soon, the two of them began to talk about their experiences in seclusion over the years.
Through the exchange, Jiang Chengxuan learned that Shen Ruyan had used some materials she had obtained from the Lin family to strengthen her Thunderbolt Lightning Fire Sword again.
At the same time, she successfully refined Lin Tianfan’s low-grade Level 3 Dharma treasure, the Seven Evil Treasure Spear.
Moreover, during this process, she actually tried to compress her True Essence, causing the strength of her True Essence to begin to approach the strength of Dharma powers.
However, this was a rather dangerous thing to do.
A single mistake could cause the compressed True Essence to go berserk and blow up your dantian and meridians.
At that time, even if you did not die, you would be completely crippled.
Jiang Chengxuan did not expect his Dao companion to be so bold.
Most importantly, she had done it successfully.
It could be imagined that after she successfully entered the Violet Palace Realm in the future, the strength of her Dharma powers would definitely be much stronger than the Dharma powers of other Violet Palace Realm cultivators.
At least in terms of quantity and grade, it was definitely not something ordinary Violet Palace Realm cultivators could compare to.
This was also a reminder to Jiang Chengxuan.
When he broke through to the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm in the future, he could also try to compress his True Essence.
However, there was a prerequisite. He had to increase the strength of his physical body first.
In this way, it was very necessary to find a body tempering cultivation technique that was suitable for him.
In the entire Shen Immortal Family, Jiang Chengxuan did not find a body tempering technique he wanted.
Perhaps only in the Ganyang Market, or the North Cloud Sect, or the Starlight Sect, could he find a body tempering cultivation technique that was truly suitable for him.
A day later.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan left their cave abode.
The two of them had just arrived at the main peak of the Splendid Jade Mountain when Shen Rushuang saw them. A hint of surprise appeared on her face.
“Cheng Xuan, Ruyan, you’re out of seclusion.
Coincidentally, Ancestor has also come out of seclusion not long ago.
He said that when you come out of seclusion, go to him first..”
