From Family Fisherman to Water Virtue True Immortal-Chapter 11: Artifact Hall

Zone C, Pond No. 13.

The heavenly vault was as blue as jade, reflecting on the water's surface, clear like glass, with clumps of white clouds, beautiful like a painting.

The fishing boat gently brushed by, rippling the water, creating layers of fine ripples, breaking the ethereal and distant tranquility.

Li Quanqing looked at his own fish pond and couldn't help but feel sentimental.

Since the big green fish from this pond were sold, he seldom returned here, the water seemed somewhat desolate.

He took out a token, manipulated the array, and divided the pond into three parts.

Two were used for raising Green Jade Carp and Green Fish fry, and the last one was for placing the bigger fish.

Plop! Plop!

38 Green Jade Carp fry were a top priority, carefully poured into the pond.

These young fish swam in an environment with suddenly decreased spiritual energy, clearly struggling to adapt, their tiny fins flapping rapidly.

"Bear with it, your parents grew up here too, and they lived just fine."

Li Quanqing took out a dozen spirit sand particles, crushed them, mixed them with Spirit Worm Bait Pills, and sprinkled them in to temporarily increase the spiritual energy concentration.

"There are still too many of these fry, who knows how many will grow up."

Li Quanqing stroked his chin in thought.

The booklet Mr. Kunshui gave him had annotations.

With the spiritual energy concentration in Zone C's pond, each acre of water could support the growth of a Green Jade Carp.

This twenty-acre water area could at most sustain twenty Green Jade Carp; otherwise, spiritual energy and nutrients would be insufficient.

Demon Beasts have a sense of territory even if they are artificially bred.

Once these fry grow up, if their living space is too small, by their nature, they will start to harm each other.

Therefore, the masters of the larger ponds in the Li Family would nurture a fish king, establish a Blood Covenant, to facilitate management.

"When these fry grow a bit bigger, I'll pick out the ones with less potential and weaker bodies, and take them to Jade Dragon Pond's market to sell."

Young Green Jade Carp fry, this thing is quite valuable, solid currency.

For the more than a thousand big green fish, Li Quanqing was much rougher.

Like dumping dumplings, they were thrown from the fish basket magic artifact into the pond, causing splashes everywhere and creating lively turbulence.

Watching his fish pond regain its previous vitality and bustling scenery.

Li Quanqing finally clapped his hands in satisfaction.

He looked at the last fish basket on the boat, containing two mature Green Jade Carps, ready to be sold for spirit stones.

Ever since that dominant display, the male Green Jade Carps had reverted back to their Fish Life Slacking state.

Their Qi Refinement cultivation was stuck at 1% and wouldn't increase.

Though they look outstanding and have huge latent potential, they were actually duds.

Better to sell them early, getting spirit stones into the pocket for safety.

Mana steering the light boat, Li Quanqing headed straight to the Green Jade main island.

In the southern part of Qingyu Island, there stood vast bald mountains; the air's Fire Spiritual Energy was extraordinarily active, with underground fire occasionally felt.

The Artifact Refining Hall was located here, with rough and grand buildings, the halls stretching continuously, and surprisingly, many buildings were cast from bronze and iron.

When the Li Family first established itself, this place was originally called Hundred Arts Hall, a place for the family to nurture talents in Cultivation Hundred Arts.

Later, the Artifact Hall became predominant, becoming the backbone industry, and thus it was called Artifact Refining Hall eventually.

Li Quanqing walked into the gate of Artifact Hall, a dark blue grand cauldron, with an impactful presence, shot into his sight.

This cauldron was higher than a small mountain, squarely shaped, carved with a towering Heavenly Gate standing amidst turbulent waters.

In the sea, countless carps worshiped, struggling through the waves, aspiring to leap and transform from fish into dragons.

The scene was magnificent and lifelike, Li Quanqing couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"This clan member, did you come to the Artifact Hall wishing to learn artifact refining?"

A refined man in his thirties, dressed in an Artifact Hall robe, approached from behind the large cauldron.

After Li Quanqing finished admiring, the man smiled and asked, not minding the fishy smell that clung to the boy.

Li Quanqing nodded: "I've come not only to learn artifact refining, but also to seek an audience with the Third Elder, who promised to buy my Golden Pattern Jade Carp that day."

"Oh? A Golden Pattern Variant?"

Li Quanlin seemed surprised and scrutinized this clan junior before speaking: "In that case, please follow me."

He never thought Li Quanqing would deceive him, as no clan member dared to offend the Hall Master of the Artifact Refining Hall with lies.

Walking through the vast Artifact Refining Hall, initially, the air was filled with the clanging of iron and intense heat.

One could faintly see those bare-chested, muscly men.

"This is the Fire Hall, specifically, it has many mortal dynasty weapon forging masters to teach various weapon crafting techniques."

Li Quanlin explained with a smile: "Although what we refine are magic artifacts, they originate from mortal weapons, and every disciple in the Artifact Hall must lay their foundation here."

Past this courtyard, the environment became much quieter, with lush bamboo and trees surrounding several educational halls.

"This place is called the Book Hall, where the basics of artifact refining and spiritual pattern engraving are taught, and the elders often come here to give lessons."

Li Quanlin introduced thoroughly, as the boy before him was soon to become a part of the Artifact Hall.

At this moment, the courtyard was tranquil, the breeze stirred the bamboo shadows, and it was time for classes in the Book Hall, faintly one could hear the master lecturing.

Li Quanqing listened intently, and the artifact refining terminology reached his ears with the wind, surprisingly he understood it all.

This gave him some confidence.

Continuing further, they reached an arched gateway that surprisingly had an array locking the entrance, Li Quanlin took out a token and shook it a few times.

The moment the array opened, dense white fog rolled out with astonishingly abundant spiritual energy.

"Brother Quanlin!"

A middle-aged man strode towards them, emanating dignity as he approached.

"Ah, it's brother Yu Ze, seeing your rosy complexion, you must have had a profitable time at Baqing Square!"

Li Quanlin greeted with a smile, and after the man walked away, he explained quietly: "This place is called the Magic Hall, where only the true family artifact refiners can enter to discuss various methods of refining and improving magic artifacts."

"Junior brother, remember not to trespass recklessly or else you'll face punishment according to family regulations."

Li Quanqing quickly nodded, puzzled by the titles exchanged earlier: "Brother, I heard the artifact refiner just now is from the Yu Generation, why did he call you senior brother?"

Upon hearing this, Li Quanlin gave a proud smile: "In the Artifact Refining Hall, we don't compete over your family background, only the art of artifact refining determines the hierarchy!"

They walked within the Magic Hall, seeing more than twenty artifact refiners, all very relaxed, clearly leading comfortable lives.

Li Quanqing even saw an acquaintance, the same guy who was selling the Green Carp Sword at Jade Dragon Pond.

Now dressed in a brand-new magic robe, he moved with grace.

At the deepest part of the Magic Hall, Li Quanqing finally saw his destination.

A red and black active volcano.

The ground was cracked, thick smoke rising to the sky, and molten lava flowed down intermittently as if the earth's blood was on fire.

The most astonishing sight was the several artifact refining rooms erected on the volcano, encoded with arrays, using magma and geothermal energy.

Smelling the pungent sulfur, Li Quanqing's expression involuntarily stiffened a bit.

Although he had always known about the deep foundation of the Artifact Refining Hall, the sight of a real volcano was truly shocking.

"Junior brother, welcome to the real—Artifact Hall!"

Li Quanlin was pleased with the astonishment on the boy's face, recalling his own first experience.

Looking at the Qingli Volcano, he felt nostalgic: "One day, if you also own one of these geothermal artifact refining rooms, then I'll be calling you senior brother."

Li Quanqing gave a wry smile; it was no small goal.

Looking at the flowing magma, he felt a bit hesitant: "Brother, we're not going to climb up there, are we?"

Although he was a cultivator, his Qi Refining Third Layer mana couldn't withstand this overwhelming natural power.

"Of course not, see those courtyards around the base of the mountain? That's where the artifact refiners reside."

Li Quanlin pointed out: "Come, I'll take you to the Hall Master's cave mansion, hoping he's not busy refining artifacts at the moment."
