Chapter 2052: Chapter 2052: The Way of Artifact Refining

In Fengyuan City, there is a high mountain.

It is also the only high mountain within the city.

The mountain is over three thousand zhang high, extending over dozens of li in circumference.

This mountain is called Sitting Forget Peak.

Atop Sitting Forget Peak, only individuals above the Elder level in Fengyuan City can reside and cultivate here.

And this Sitting Forget Peak is Zhou Yu’s destination today.

At this moment, holding Elder Xing’s token, he has passed through layers of verification and finally arrived at Elder Xing’s residence.

Elder Xing’s residence is located halfway up Sitting Forget Peak.

Here, a massive dojo has been constructed, and a Spirit Vein has been directed here as well.

As soon as he stepped into Elder Xing’s dojo, a rich Spiritual Power surged towards him.

Zhou Yu felt as if his entire being was immersed in an ocean of Spiritual Power.

This experience was unprecedented.

A deep sense of shock appeared in Zhou Yu’s eyes.

This is truly a Spiritual Land.

In comparison, his Little Qingshan doesn’t even count as barren land.

The difference is like heaven and earth.

If cultivated here, even without the aid of Spiritual Medicine, progress would be a thousand miles a day compared to the outside world.

No wonder it’s the residence of top figures in Fengyuan City; it’s truly extraordinary.

Just as Zhou Yu was marveling, a youth approached.

"This must be Captain Zhou."

Zhou Yu nodded.

"That’s me!"

"Please follow me!"

The youth led Zhou Yu into a large hall next to the dojo.

At that moment, there were already more than a dozen figures waiting inside the hall.

With a glance, Zhou Yu immediately recognized that some of them were also captains of the City Defense Team.

Seeing Zhou Yu, these people also greeted Zhou Yu one after another.

"Brother Zhou is here too!"

"Ha ha, I told you, with Brother Zhou’s current prestige, how could he not be invited."

"Indeed, I heard Brother Zhou caught another Phantom Clan expert this time, ha ha, that’s really impressive."

"..."

Facing everyone’s praise, Zhou Yu smiled in response and then found an empty seat to sit down.

Not long after, more than ten others arrived one after another.

In the blink of an eye, more than thirty experts above the Divinity Transformation Realm were seated in the hall.

At this moment, a clear voice came from the side.

"Elder Xing has arrived!"

Hearing these words, everyone present immediately stood up, facing the entrance with a look of respect.

A silver-haired elder strode in from outside the hall.

Although his face looked old, he exuded a powerful aura.

It was as if within this aged body lurked a terrifying beast beyond imagination.

The moment he stepped into the hall, everyone present felt an indescribable pressure descend upon them.

For a moment, it seemed as if the heartbeats of everyone present were controlled by that terrifying pressure, pulsating in rhythm with the elder’s steps.

Feeling this terrifying oppression, Zhou Yu’s eyes also showed deep shock.

An Integration Realm expert!

Even in the entire Human and Demon Clans, such a figure is considered top-tier.

This was his first time encountering such a high-rank cultivator.

Beyond this, there are the Tribulation Crossing Realm and the Mahayana Realm.

Experts of such levels are as rare as phoenix feathers, nearly always in seclusion, emerging only for earth-shattering events.

Not to mention, Elder Xing in front of him, with just the natural aura he exudes, is enough to intimidate.

However, this feeling came quickly and left quickly.

As Elder Xing ascended the hall to take his seat at the main position, the terrifying pressure instantly dissipated into nothingness.

"Everyone, the Qi Refining Path concerns material, fire, and soul. Heaven and Earth Spiritual Items have their own spirituality. Mystic Iron is hard but lacks flexibility, Ice Soul is extremely cold but fragile. An artifact refiner must understand the mutual generation of all things and know ’Five Elements Rotation, Yin Yang Mutual Aid’ to harmonize all materials..."

As Elder Xing began to speak, Zhou Yu quickly entered a wondrous state.

Elder Xing’s words seemed to contain a magical power, with each sentence painting a seemingly real picture before his eyes.

The subtleties of the Qi Refining Path were vividly presented in front of him.

In the past, his understanding of the Qi Refining Path was mainly based on some ancient texts, complemented by his own musings.

Though he could also craft artifacts, what he mastered was not systematic and lacked any essence.

But as Elder Xing lectured, many aspects of the Qi Refining Path became crystal clear to Zhou Yu, giving him a feeling of epiphany.

In this environment, Zhou Yu’s mastery of the Qi Refining Path rapidly improved.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, seven days and nights passed.

As Elder Xing concluded his teaching, everyone awoke from that wondrous state.

After a brief moment of confusion, joy appeared in everyone’s eyes.

They couldn’t help but start sharing their insights from this lecture with each other, each person animated, clearly having gained much.

Of course, Zhou Yu was no exception.

At this moment, he was still immersed in the vast yet exquisite Qi Refining Path.

He finally understood that the records in ancient texts were ultimately shallow theories.

Only true masters like these could penetrate straight to the heart.

No wonder those great forces and families do not hesitate to spend huge sums to sustain these masters of artifact refining and alchemy.

After Elder Xing finished his lecture, he got up and left.

Though others were still eager, they all knew they could not linger here for too long.

Everyone stood up, preparing to leave.

But just then, a few figures walked in.

"Everyone, hold on!"

Seeing these people, everyone was taken aback.

"Protector Qian!"

"Protector Liu!"

"Protector Tang!"

"..."

Many people exclaimed in surprise and immediately stepped forward to greet them.

Zhou Yu was also stunned; among them, he also saw the figure of Zhao Wu.

At this moment, Zhao Wu sensed Zhou Yu’s gaze, smiled slightly at him, then stepped forward and stood before everyone.

"Everyone, besides listening to the lecture, there is another important matter concerning your survival. Please be seated."

Hearing Zhao Wu’s words, everyone felt a chill in their hearts, with varied expressions, but everyone sat back in their seats as Zhao Wu requested.

Once everyone was seated, no one spoke, all eyes on Zhao Wu and the other four protectors.

Zhao Wu spoke:

"Firstly, I want to inform everyone that everyone here has been carefully selected by Elder Xing and Elder Lei, especially Elder Lei." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Which means everyone here is one of us."

Hearing Zhao Wu mention Elder Lei, everyone showed an expression of excitement.

The reason is simple, because Elder Lei is truly one of the authorities in Fengyuan City.

At the same time, his cultivation is also top-notch in Fengyuan City, having reached the Peak of the Integration Realm.

Crucially, Elder Lei himself is also a Plane Breaker.

In just three thousand years, he progressed from a Plane Breaker to one of the authorities in Fengyuan City, which is one of the main reasons why he is so revered by everyone.

Among the crowd, someone could not hold back any longer.

"Senior Zhao, has Elder Lei given any instructions?"
