Xiuxian: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 492 Merit
"The ultimate immortal weapon!"

"Eighth-rank Immortal Master!"

Looking at the flaming flag that was flying off the ground, although they didn't know the origin of its name, but thinking back to everything that had just happened, all the immortals and gods in the calamity realm still had frowns on their faces, looking extremely heavy.

The ultimate immortal weapon?

Eighth-rank immortal master?

It doesn't sound like a big deal. After all, the eighth level is just Mahayana. A top-grade immortal weapon is equivalent to a Mahayana cultivator. What does it count in front of these ninth-level immortal gods in the Tribulation Realm?
That’s a lot!

First of all, weapon refining is one of the 100 arts of cultivation. Although there is a correspondence between the attainment in weapon refining and the realm of cultivation, their value and significance are incomparable.

The cultivation of realm is the foundation of a cultivator and the most important thing. Without the support of cultivation, everything is just castles in the air and illusions in the water.

Therefore, most of the practitioners mainly focus on improving their realm and cultivation, and only secondarily engage in the cultivation of the various arts and creative production as an auxiliary purpose.

One is the main one and the other is the auxiliary one. The order cannot be reversed. If the guest becomes the main one, one will surely lose the big picture for the small one.

Such examples are numerous throughout history. Many monks, obsessed with their skills, have put aside their fundamental practice, only to realize their mistakes when their lives were almost over. But it was too late, and they could only turn to dust with regret and remorse.

This is the lesson!

Therefore, generally speaking, before reaching the calamity realm, cultivators’ investment in the various arts of cultivation is very limited.

Even if you enter the realm of tribulation, you will have endless lifespan and immortality, but you will also have to go through the nine levels of tribulation. Most of the energy of the immortals and gods in the realm of tribulation still has to be focused on overcoming the tribulation, and only a few geniuses can dabble in other things.

Only after the nine tribulations are completed and the immortal fruit is achieved, can the cultivator devote a large amount of energy to the various arts of cultivation.

Therefore, below the level of True Immortals, there are few people with outstanding skills. Even if there are, they are extremely rare, and individual examples cannot be viewed universally.

The master of the Xuantian Sword Sect is such an example. Not only is he an eight-tribulation immortal, but he is also an eighth-rank immortal weapon-refining master. He has refined three top-grade immortal swords and six high-grade immortal swords, becoming a legend and a name known throughout the Xuanmen cultivation world.

But how many people are there like this?
Looking around the world, from ancient times to the present, there are very few such people!

Below the level of True Immortal, those who can achieve eighth-level skills are rare, if not one in ten thousand, at least rare to find.

Not to mention the eighth level, even the seventh level is a minority and their status is very respected. Even the immortals and gods in the calamity realm have to treat them with courtesy.

After all, rare things are worth more!

High-level skills are so difficult to master that the prices of various high-level treasures remain high. No matter whether it is elixir, talisman, formation device, or other products of skills, as long as they reach the seventh or eighth level, the price will skyrocket.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about them. These immortal gods in the calamity realm below the sixth calamity, their natal treasures are basically seventh-level, top-grade immortal objects.

As for the top-grade immortal artifacts, if you are not a true immortal or a six-tribulation master, how can you afford to own them?
Even this top-grade immortal weapon was the result of their risky exploration of mysteries, or the reward from the immortal gods in the upper realm.

Only a few immortals and gods can gather enough materials and, with the added expense of processing, hire an eighth-rank immortal master to refine an immortal weapon for them.

Of course, if you are not very well-off but are brave enough, you can also ask a seventh-level immortal master to refine a top-grade immortal weapon.

Although all weapon refiners have refined weapons of the same rank as themselves, the success rate is very low and the quality is difficult to guarantee, so most weapon refiners will "refine weapons at a lower rank!"

The eighth level refines the seventh level, the seventh level refines the sixth level, the sixth level refines the fifth level...

This is the only way to be sure of quality and success rate.

You can find a seventh-rank weapon refiner to refine a top-grade immortal weapon, but if the refining fails, all losses will be borne by you alone. The weapon refiner will not be responsible and will at most not charge you for the refining fee.

This is the market situation for high-level skills.

An eighth-rank immortal master, his strategic value far exceeds that of a ninth-rank immortal god in the calamity realm, and can even be compared to a true immortal.

So, here comes the problem!

This Wandao Academy now has an eighth-rank immortal master of refining weapons, and he also possesses the method of creating heavenly creations.

Next, how will their strength expand and how rapidly will they develop.

Armed with sharp weapons, murderous intent arises!
What will they do after their strength expands?

No, there is no need to wait until later, they have the weapon in their hands now.

This Lidi Flame Flag is ranked eighth and is a top-grade immortal weapon. It took him a hundred years and a huge amount of effort to refine it. He invested so many resources, it couldn't be that it just looked good, right?
In addition, over the past hundred years, the Wandao Academy has worked together to refine the Five Elements Immortal Flag and hundreds of millions of spiritual treasures...

No malice, no targeting?
He dares to say that, do you dare to believe it?

There must be a target!

Who will be the sacrifice and the target of their attack?
No one knows!

It is precisely because they don't know that these immortals and gods in the calamity realm are so nervous.

With a sword hanging overhead and such a threat, who can feel at ease?

……

All the immortals and gods in the calamity realm were in a state of panic.

On the other hand, Xu Yang was contented, with a smile on his face.

He was very satisfied with this flaming flag.

Not only was it unexpected, it was promoted to a top-grade immortal weapon, driving his weapon path to breakthrough, but it also happened to be the right time to break the "sun and moon shining together" scene, allowing the heavenly way to give back, sending down the golden light of merit and injecting it into this flag. With this merit, this Lidi Yanguang Flag is not only a top-grade immortal weapon, but also a "merit treasure!"

Merit refers to achievements, virtue refers to morality!
The treasure of merit is the treasure of achievements and the treasure of morality, which can mobilize the power of heaven and earth more effectively.

In the Taoist world, there is a legend that when Laojun created the world, the merit of creation descended and mixed with the mysterious and yellow energy when the world was first created to create the first meritorious treasure in the world - the Linglong Tower of Mysterious Heaven and Earth!

This tower is the most valuable treasure with the greatest merit. It is invulnerable to all attacks and cannot be destroyed. It can hold a whole world.

This flaming flag cannot be compared to the treasure created by Laojun, but it also has some merits. It can more effectively mobilize the power of the heaven and earth, the mechanism of yin and yang, and the theory of the five elements. It is more mysterious and more powerful. Compared with the top-grade immortal weapons of the same level, it is far ahead, but also the leader.

In addition, this merit and blessing also gave it a possibility, a possibility to be promoted to an "immortal treasure".

Those below the eighth level are immortal weapons, and those above the eighth level are immortal treasures!
The Innate Five-Directions Flag is an immortal treasure. Although no one knows whether it is a top-grade immortal treasure of the twelfth level or a low-grade immortal treasure of the ninth level, but no matter what, it is an immortal treasure that can reach the ninth level. Even if it is a replica, it has almost the same power as the real thing.

This shows the value of this treasure of merit.

Including the Flame Flag, Xu Yang now has two treasures of merit in his hands.

With such capital, even a true immortal can face it!

and so……

Xu Yang smiled, waved his sleeves, retracted the flames from the ground, and returned to Fulong Mountain.

"This……"

“Six, six, six, six, six!”

"Thank you Brother Tian for the great gift package!"

"Brother Tian is mighty, Brother Tian is domineering, I love you with a heart!"

"It's finally over. This hundred years of torture is finally over!"

"It's torture for you, but not for me. I have benefited a lot from the master's weapon refining skills."

"You are such a flatterer, you are the only one who can do this. What you are refining is not a top-grade immortal weapon, but a high-grade immortal weapon. What level of weapon are you refining? If you can understand it, you will benefit a lot."

"Can I look at the screen..."

"What happened just now? There was a psychopath nearby who was possessed by a demon. It took me a while to log in. Can anyone tell me what's going on now? Has the master finished refining his weapon?"

Inside the live broadcast room, people were talking a lot, it was noisy as usual, and no one paid any attention to it as usual.

In the mountain room, in front of the earth fire furnace, Xu Yang swept his whisk, and a ray of spiritual light fell into the furnace.

"You have also made contributions in this weapon refining. From today on, the Nine Dragons Earth Fire Furnace will be closed for a hundred years. After a hundred years, you will come here to serve again!"

After saying this, the flags around the furnace disappeared, indicating that the restriction had been lifted.

In the underground fire furnace, Wei De saw this and had a complicated expression, not knowing what to say.

On the contrary, in the live broadcast room...

"What do you mean by medical parole?"

"Bail you out, that's called parole!"

"Rewards are given for merit and punishments are given for guilt, as is proper."

"Don't worry that he will run away and not come back. A while ago, a Garuda secret realm entered the world. If these two birdmen were to join forces, they would become two great calamity realm gods."

"That's just perfect. The academy is worried about not having enough stoves. A new batch will benefit everyone."

"If you want to go fishing, just tell me. You've made your treasure, so you want to try it out on someone else, right?"

Everyone was talking, but they were actually speaking from their hearts.

Inside the underground furnace, Weide did not respond. He just lowered his head, closed his eyes and took a rest.

He had indeed worked hard and made great contributions in refining the weapon this time. If it weren't for the pure blue glazed fire of this Tribulation Realm god, those high-level spiritual materials could not be smelted quickly, and the Flame Flag could not be completed within a hundred years. He also could not seize the opportunity of "the sun and the moon shining together" to obtain the merit of the Heavenly Dao.

It can be said that half of the credit for the success of the Flame Flag this time lies in this source of fire.

In this case, it is reasonable to exchange it for a hundred years of parole.

But he didn't want to leave, at least not now.

Rather than going back to face the ridicule of those big and powerful people, it is better to shrink into this furnace and cultivate myself alone.

Xu Yang did not say much about Wade's actions. He closed the furnace, leaving a gap, and then turned and left.

He still has a lot to do.

Apart from anything else, the return of the red moon will strengthen the power of the foreign demons, which will inevitably lead to many changes.

Times change, and people's hearts change even more. It is inevitable that some people will not want to be lonely and want to be the first to stand out and stir up the sea.

and so……
