Speaking of which, Li Cheng had no immediate intention of discussing it, but when it came to artifact refining, an idea suddenly struck him—the Artifact Sect still owed his master a significant artifact!

The Artifact Sect, ranking fifth among the top ten sects, boasts the first place in artifact refining skills within the Southern Domain.

In the Southern Domain, most cultivators seek the service of the Artifact Sect, even taking pride in possessing spiritual artifacts refined by them.

From this aspect, the social status of the Artifact Sect is not weaker than that of the Pill Sect.

It is said that the Spiritual Fires mastered by the Artifact Sect are even more numerous than those of the Pill Sect!

The overall strength of the Artifact Sect is not inferior to the Pill Sect; Li Cheng always felt that its ranking was lower due to business issues.

Think about it, the pills refined by the Pill Sect are consumables; once consumed, they are gone.

Whereas the spiritual artifacts refined by the Artifact Sect can last a cultivator a lifetime.

Therefore, the business of the Pill Sect is incessant, while that of the Artifact Sect is a bit lacking.

This is like the company Li Cheng knew in his previous world that invented a pen that could write forever; of course, the business gradually declined and the company had to close down eventually.

This significantly determined why the Artifact Sect’s ranking was not as high as the Pill Sect’s.

“Junior Uncle, during the years Uncle Ancestor Wuya has been away, the Artifact Sect has never sent anyone to our sect,” Mu Xingzhi said.

Li Cheng pondered; when his master was in the sect, the Artifact Sect used to visit every so often!

Why did they visit?

It was obviously because his master possessed a significant artifact. Refining with it could potentially elevate the level of any weapon or armor crafted.

That significant artifact was an Immortal Artifact-grade artifact tripod, which his master had acquired by chance thousands of years ago and had always been coveted by the Artifact Sect.

Using the same materials and techniques, other tripods could only produce inferior grade spiritual artifacts, but with that tripod, it was possible to refine mid-grade spiritual artifacts.

However, his master never engaged in artifact refining, so the artifact tripod in his master’s hands was no different from an ordinary Immortal Artifact, used solely for combat.

Perhaps it was for this reason that the Artifact Sect saw his master’s ownership of the tripod as a waste of heaven’s gifts, hence their frequent visits, hoping to acquire it.

Thirty years ago, when his master left, he agreed to lend the tripod to the Artifact Sect for ten years.

Now, thirty years had passed, and the Artifact Sect had not visited the Heavenly Mechanism Sect again, let alone mentioned returning the tripod.

“What is owed to my master, I will reclaim it. Once the alchemy is finished, I’m planning to go out for a walk; I’ll start with the Artifact Sect,” Li Cheng said calmly.

Mu Xingzhi hesitated for a few seconds before finally saying, “Junior Uncle, let me ask the Black and White Elders to take care of this matter. You should focus on preparing for the Tribulation Crossing within the sect!”

In his view, Junior Uncle would likely need to prepare for crossing the tribulation after completing alchemy. At such a time, he certainly should not take any risks.

If a conflict were to arise with the Artifact Sect, leading to Junior Uncle’s injury, it would have a severe impact on the tribulation crossing!

Should Junior Uncle fail the tribulation crossing because of this, that would be terrible!

Well, Mu Xingzhi admitted that he was not actually worried Junior Uncle would fail due to injury. That was just an excuse. What he truly feared was Junior Uncle having an accident!

Junior Uncle is too important to the sect to afford any mishaps!

Li Cheng glanced at Mu Xingzhi, shook his head slightly, “This matter can only be handled by me personally.”

Mu Xingzhi frowned subtly without another word, but he had already decided in his heart to request that the Black and White Elders secretly protect him.

Soon, the Seventh Elder arrived!

He brought the materials for the Rising Yuan Pill, obtained by the collective effort of the entire sect!

Li Cheng looked at the more than a hundred storage rings laid out before him and fell into deep thought!

All these storage rings contained materials for the Rising Yuan Pill!

There were just over ten thousand portions of the first-grade Rising Yuan Pill materials, over twenty thousand portions of the second-grade, and the third-grade had exceeded one hundred thousand portions!

The quantity of Rising Yuan Pill materials from fourth to eighth grade decreased progressively, with over twenty thousand portions of the seventh grade and nearly twenty thousand portions of the eighth grade. Just the seventh and eighth grades alone made Li Cheng wonder if the Seventh Elder had gone somewhere to do business without any capital.

These medicinal ingredients could be said to be worth a fortune. If I were to refine them all myself, wouldn’t their value increase by more than tenfold?

“Junior Uncle, did 1 prepare too much?” Seeing Li Cheng fall silent, the Seventh Elder asked with some concern.

Li Cheng came back to his senses and shook his head, “No, I was thinking whether the value of all these materials could increase by tenfold after being refined.”

The Seventh Elder and Mu Xingzhi exchanged a glance, and then, the Seventh Elder said with a smile, “Junior Uncle, you underestimate the profit involved. If Junior Uncle were to refine them, the lowest grade would be of supreme quality. With those King Grade and Emperor Grade, when calculated, it would increase the value by at least a hundredfold!”

Mu Xingzhi nodded, “That’s right. If Junior Uncle were to refine them all, our sect would become very wealthy. If you need anything at that point, just name it, and we can trade Rising Yuan Pills for it.”

Li Cheng inwardly clicked his tongue— a hundredfold?

Refining pills is indeed a highly profitable business!

“For ordinary pill masters, being able to make a profit of one or two times would be great, as they would fail, the quality of the pills they make is not high, and the quantity not much. Junior Uncle is really amazing!” the Seventh Elder sighed with emotion.

Li Cheng nodded slightly—this was indeed true.

Of course, Li Cheng’s nod wasn’t for the last sentence.

After all, Li Cheng didn’t like to hear bootlicking.

Cough cough…

“Since that’s the case, then 1 will refine them all. Afterwards, you can take a portion to trade for materials, and whatever you get from the trade, give it all to Ling Xi!” Li Cheng coughed.

Mu Xingzhi and the Seventh Elder were overjoyed, nodding vigorously without hesitation.

The reason for preparing materials for Ling Xi was, of course, because of her Medicine Spirit Body.

With enough medicinal materials, Ling Xi could quickly improve her cultivation and Alchemy Dao.

Besides, Ling Xi’s eyes, bright as the moon, were full of admiration and gratitude, ‘The master is refining all these Rising Yuan Pills for my sake!’

The collection of over a hundred storage rings filled with medicinal ingredients would make any pill master dance with excitement!

But any pill master who knew they had to refine so many herbs themselves would be frightened enough to beat their chest in frustration!

So, how could Ling Xi not be moved?

“Big Brother, Sister is crying because she is moved; why are you crying?” Qi Jingtian suddenly noticed both his senior brother and sister were secretly wiping away tears and couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity.

Yun Tianqiong gave Qi Jingtian a sidelong glance, “Little Junior Brother, soon we’re going to have endless Emperor Grade Rising Yuan Pills, ensuring our passage to the Transcendance Tribulation Stage!”

“The master is refining so many materials for our guaranteed crossing of the Tribulation; of course, Senior Brother is also moved!”

With that said, Qi Jingtian was also moved. Yeah, the master was… just too good!

Thinking about this, Qi Jingtian also secretly wiped away a tear.

As for whether any tears actually fell, he didn’t bother to check.

Li Cheng took out the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod, “First and second grade pills, no need to waste time on those. Give them to the low-level pill masters of the Seventh Peak to practice with. I will start refining from the third-grade Rising Yuan Pills.”

“Understood, Junior Uncle. This tripod seems much stronger than last time!” the Seventh Elder said.

Mu Xingzhi also stared intently, “Indeed, it seems it’s about to become an Immortal Artifact!”

Li Cheng had obviously noticed as well. After a check, he saw that the Immortal Infant had disappeared.

Clearly, it had been refined by the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod!

But Li Cheng wouldn’t tell them this fact; instead, he said, “It’s probably because its Spiritual Wisdom has awakened. Now it can even speak human language!”

Without minding their surprise, Li Cheng already grabbed a few storage rings and poured all the third-grade Rising Yuan Pill materials into the tripod.

Li Cheng really wanted to know what kind of effect the Pill Tribulation would have when refining more than 110,000 portions of third-grade Rising Yuan Pill materials simultaneously?

Based on past experience, that would mean the birth of seven or eight hundred Emperor Grade pills. A Pill Tribulation caused by so many Emperor Grade pills…

Tsk tsk….
