Chapter 178: Starting to Refine Lightning Absorbing Pillars (Additional chapter for the big shot Cheng Yuyu)
Yu Liwei and Long Xingxiu flew into Dao Saint Peak, and Zhang Yuhe and Lian Zhengyu immediately stood up to welcome them.
Long Xingxiu looked at Zhang Yuhe and asked with a smile on his face.
"You must be Little Friend Zhang."
"Little Friend Zhang has mastered the Supreme Law and achieved the feat of defying a Golden Immortal with True Immortal cultivation, which is truly admirable."
Hearing this, Zhang Yuhe immediately responded modestly,
"Sect Master Long flatters me too much, I was just lucky."
...
After some polite pleasantries, the crowd came to the pavilion at the top of the mountain and took their seats.
Yu Liwei looked at Lian Zhengyu and asked straight to the point,
"Are you confident about the matter of building the Tribulation Platform that you mentioned before?"
Lian Zhengyu did not talk nonsense; he handed over the Jade Slip and then said,
"This is the Formation modified by Zhang Yuhe. You will know after looking at it."
Yu Liwei picked up the Jade Slip and checked it carefully for a while, and then passed it to Long Xingxiu.
Seeing the contents of the Jade Slip, both of them felt greatly shocked.
Long Xingxiu exclaimed,
"Little Friend Zhang is indeed a heaven-defying talent, to be able to think of such an exquisite Formation."
"Once this Formation is deployed,"
"not to mention assisting True Immortal disciples in surviving the Golden Immortal Heavenly Tribulation, even if we are fortunate enough to break through to Grand Unity Immortal in the future,"
"this Formation will still be of great help."
Yu Liwei, who was on the side, also nodded along.
After being modified by Zhang Yuhe, the Immortal-Level Renshui Lightning Absorption Array was extremely massive and complex.
However, the effect of the Formation was unquestionable and truly very effective.
Now the only troublesome thing
was how to collect the materials needed for more than ten thousand Lightning Absorbing Pillars.
Although according to the description in the Jade Slip,
the materials needed for the Lightning Absorbing Pillars were all the most common Immortal-Level spiritual materials in the Immortal Realm.
But no matter how common they were, they were still Immortal-grade materials.
Getting a few hundred pieces would be easy to talk about.
Any of their forces could easily produce them.
However, the Formation deduced by Zhang Yuhe actually required more than ten thousand Immortal Artifact-grade Lightning Absorbing Pillars.
This quantity was truly a bit exaggerated.
Even if the treasuries of the three forces were emptied out, they couldn't gather so many materials.
Yu Liwei stood up, looked at Zhang Yuhe, and asked earnestly,
"Are you confident?"
Zhang Yuhe nodded and replied solemnly,
"As long as the materials are collected completely, I am confident I can refine all the Lightning Absorbing Pillars and deploy the complete Renshui Lightning Absorption Array."
Zhang Yuhe was extremely confident in the Renshui Lightning Absorption Array.
Back in Yu Fantian, he had deduced and modified this Formation many times.
The actual effect made him very satisfied.
He believed that now that this Formation had been deduced to the Immortal Level level,
its effect of weakening the Heavenly Tribulation would inevitably be even more powerful.
At least helping him withstand the Golden Immortal Heavenly Tribulation would definitely be no problem.
"Good, leave the matter of materials to us, you just focus on refining the Lightning Absorbing Pillars."
After Yu Liwei finished speaking, she cast her gaze toward Long Xingxiu beside her,
waiting for his statement.
The reason why Yu Liwei wanted to pull the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect together to build the Tribulation Platform
was, on the one hand, considering that Zhang Yuhe's demand for materials was extremely huge.
Having one more force participate could speed up the construction progress.
On the other hand, she wanted to give Long Xingxiu peace of mind and stop him from always thinking about random things.
In such a small pond as the Ji'an Sea Area, they shouldn't scheme against each other anymore.
Everyone should progress together.
After their overall strength improves, they could find a way to develop in the Chaos Continent.
The resources in the Ji'an Sea Area could support them in cultivating to the Golden Immortal Realm,
which was already the limit.
If they still wanted to make a breakthrough, they must go to the Chaos Continent.
There were infinite resources there.
As long as they could gain a firm foothold in the Chaos Continent, breaking through to Grand Unity Immortal in the future
was not impossible.
Moreover, Chaos Beasts were the true mortal enemies of Cultivators.
Yu Liwei really had no interest in infighting in this small pond of the Ji'an Sea Area.
However, although she thought this way, the other party also needed to know what was proper.
If the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect was the same as the Ouyang Family, she wouldn't mind wiping them out
to avoid leaving behind trouble.
Long Xingxiu was obviously very sensible.
He immediately stood up and said passionately,
"This matter is settled just like that."
"After I return to the Sect, I will immediately send someone to deliver the materials in the inventory."
"Then I will mobilize the Golden Immortal Cultivators within the Sect to head to various sea areas respectively, and collect the materials as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Yu Liwei nodded.
She looked at Zhang Yuhe and slowly spoke,
"The first batch of materials will be sent in a few days. The remaining materials require us to go to other major sea areas to purchase them."
"However, you can rest assured, these materials are not too precious. As long as we put in a bit more effort, we will definitely be able to collect them completely."
Zhang Yuhe stood up and said gratefully to the two people,
"Thank you both Seniors for your support. I will definitely deploy the first Tribulation Platform in the Ji'an Sea Area."
"Good, then let us make our respective arrangements."
After finishing speaking, she turned into a stream of light and flew away from Dao Saint Peak.
Yu Liwei ran all the way over from afar, only said a few words in total, and left directly.
Long Xingxiu didn't stay any longer either.
He cupped his fists at Lian Zhengyu and then flew away.
A few days later.
The Nine Immortals Sect and the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect respectively sent people to deliver the materials in their inventories.
Coupled with the materials Zhang Yuhe looted from the Ouyang Family, as well as the inventory of the Dao Saint Sect,
currently, nearly 5,000 portions of materials needed to refine the Lightning Absorbing Pillars had been gathered.
These materials were the accumulation of countless years by various major forces in the Ji'an Sea Area.
Even so, it was barely enough to refine half of the Lightning Absorbing Pillars.
This also required every Artifact Refining attempt to be 100% successful.
Fortunately, Zhang Yuhe had never failed since his first contact with Artifact Refining.
If it were changed to other Artifact Refiners to operate,
on average, there might be a failure rate of about half.
In that case, the materials they needed to collect would have to double again.
This would be even more troublesome.
Zhang Yuhe brought all the materials and came to the Artifact Refining Hall of the Dao Saint Sect.
Before this, Lian Zhengyu had long cleared out the Artifact Refining Hall, and the actions of other disciples refining Dharma Treasures and Immortal Artifacts
all had to be suspended or go elsewhere.
Such a large Artifact Refining Hall entirely belonged to Zhang Yuhe alone to use.
He cleared all the secret rooms in the hall, and hundreds of Refining Cauldrons appeared in his field of vision.
However, not all of these Refining Cauldrons were suitable for refining Immortal Artifacts.
To refine Immortal Artifacts, the Level of the Refining Cauldron must at least reach High-Grade Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure.
Zhang Yuhe waved his right hand to remove the unsuitable Refining Cauldrons, and there were still about a hundred or so remaining Refining Cauldrons.
After putting various materials into these hundred-odd Refining Cauldrons respectively,
he quickly pinched hand incantations.
Beneath these large cauldrons, scorching flames quickly ignited.
More than a hundred large cauldrons simultaneously starting to refine Immortal Artifacts was like a super Artifact Refining workshop.
This was definitely a major wonder in the Immortal Realm.
However, Zhang Yuhe didn't feel too much pressure.
He had always believed that
Artifact Refining was a very simple matter.
As long as the cultivation is sufficient, and there are suitable materials and blueprints,
refining Immortal Artifacts is as easy as having hands.
Simultaneously operating more than a hundred Refining Cauldrons, he even had the leisure to slowly deduce divine abilities on the side.
