Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

Chapter 949: Chapter 676: Life-bound Artifacts_2

He Song suddenly realized.

It turned out that his previous thoughts had always been wrong.

In crafting life-bound Artifacts, nothing else matters.

Only the secret skill that can forge the main material is the most important thing.

Because within this secret skill, it not only records how to forge the main material of life-bound Artifacts but also includes the genuine method for crafting them.

As for other things, they naturally are as Master Luo Jing said, merely trivial details.

After realizing this,

He Song’s mind also flashed with the gains he made in Master Xuan Ying’s cave mansion back then.

Originally, He Song had stumbled into the cave mansion of Master Xuan Ying and took away a large amount of precious materials that were melting in the Earth Fire.

At first, He Song thought that besides the main material being of the metal attribute, which did not suit him, the other materials could actually be reused.

Later on, all He Song needed to do was find a main material that matched his own attributes and he could use these materials to craft a life-bound Artifact.

However, unexpectedly,

He Song’s previous plans had come to nothing.

But at the same time, He Song couldn’t help but sigh.

Back when he accidentally entered Master Xuan Ying’s cave mansion, he recognized that the abundant precious materials inside the Giant Cauldron were for crafting life-bound Artifacts.

He was able to recognize that these materials were necessary for crafting life-bound Artifacts

because the memories of Master Yin Yue paid attention to these materials,

and knew that they were actually for crafting life-bound Artifacts.

However, at that time, He Song did not find any information about mysterious secret skills for crafting life-bound Artifacts in the memories of Master Yin Yue.

Therefore, back then, He Song simply took those materials without realizing that they could only be used to craft an unknown, metal-attributed life-bound Artifact.

Moreover, due to the incomplete memories of Master Yin Yue, He Song did not obtain the specific method for crafting that life-bound Artifact from his memories,

not to mention catching even a glimpse of that secret skill.

He was even less aware of what Master Luo Jing spoke of now.

Such a matter caused He Song to sigh inwardly.

If he had been able to obtain the complete memories of Master Yin Yue back then, he probably would have already obtained the method for crafting the life-bound Artifact.

Why would he need to find out only now?

But it was also because He Song performed the Soul-Searching Skill on Master Yin Yue’s Golden Elixir after his death,

that the memories he obtained were incomplete and fragmented.

Under such circumstances, He Song had obtained a large amount of materials for crafting life-bound Artifacts in Master Xuan Ying’s cave mansion but never understood the method for doing so.

Now, it was Master Luo Jing personally solving this puzzle for He Song.

Moved by this, He Song had a thought.

About the big pile of crafting materials for a complete life-bound Artifact obtained from Master Xuan Ying’s cave mansion, he came up with an idea.

If those materials could no longer be reused,

why not sell them all together?

As long as the price was right, He Song was naturally willing.

However, ever since Master Xuan Ying vanished without a trace, he hadn’t reappeared for a long time.

He Song didn’t know if selling these materials that were partially melted for some time would cause Master Xuan Ying to target him later on.

After all, He Song had dismantled his cave mansion back then.

Later, it even caused quite a stir within the area of influence of the Sun Faction.

To say that this person did not hate He Song,

he probably hated him to the core.

Fortunately, up until now, Master Xuan Ying did not know of He Song’s existence,

nor did he know He Song’s true identity.

Therefore, he had not come to trouble He Song.

But if He Song really sold those materials later on, Master Xuan Ying might indeed come knocking on his door.

With such thoughts flashing through his mind, He Song began to hesitate about whether to sell the materials.

Besides,

the Earth Vein Bead that He Song obtained from killing Cloud Traversal True Monarch also put He Song in a bit of a dilemma.

The existence of the Earth Vein Bead.

He Song was not planning to make it public.

Although this object was a spoil of war after He Song killed Cloud Traversal True Monarch.

In the memories of Cloud Traversal True Monarch, this Earth Vein Bead was obtained by chance, and it wasn’t anything illicit.

But, He Song’s cultivation level was only at the Golden Core Middle Stage now.

Should he reveal this object, he feared it would immediately attract the attention of a group of cultivators in the Later Stage of Golden Elixir or those who have attained Golden Elixir Great Perfection.

By then, whether He Song could still protect this object would become an unknown.

Rather than that, it would be better to keep this a secret.

As for how to craft the Earth Vein Bead into a life-bound Artifact,

it was something he needed to plan carefully.

The secret skill required to craft the Earth Vein Bead was something He Song had not yet found anywhere.

Naturally, even if he wanted to craft it into his life-bound Artifact, he had no way to start.

However, although He Song’s mind flickered with thoughts, in the outside world, it was but a momentary flash.

In an instant, a look of sudden realization appeared on He Song’s face.

He Song’s voice then followed suit.

“I see,” he said. “Although I had heard of the existence of life-bound Artifacts before, due to my level of cultivation, I hadn’t looked into it much.”

“Reaching the Later Stage of Golden Elixir, or even Golden Elixir Great Perfection, is not that easy to achieve.”,

“This time, I must thank fellow Daoist for enlightening me.”

“Otherwise, even if I were to try crafting a life-bound Artifact in the future, I’d be without a clue.”

“Now, after hearing what fellow Daoist has said, I have some idea about how to go about crafting a life-bound Artifact.”

“However, I’m not sure where this secret skill needed for crafting life-bound Artifacts comes from,

“Is it available for purchase in the Treasure Pavilion?”

After thanking Master Luo Jing for the enlightenment, He Song immediately thought about acquiring the secret skill needed for crafting life-bound Artifacts.

In the Cultivation World,

While there are many treasures that are priceless,

Even with a large number of spirit stones, it could be challenging to acquire them.

Yet, a large portion of treasures can still be bought with spirit stones.

When He Song started the conversation, he was hoping to buy the necessary secret skill from Master Luo Jing.

However, he didn’t know whether the Treasure Pavilion actually sold such a secret technique.

So, he could only tentatively ask and try to gauge Master Luo Jing’s response.

Upon hearing He Song’s words,

Master Luo Jing, who had just enlightened He Song, showed a hint of a smile on her face.

“Fellow Daoist, have you ever seen any loose cultivators with a life-bound Artifact?”

After the smile, Master Luo Jing’s voice came through softly.

But before He Song could respond,

Master Luo Jing already shook her head and continued to speak.

“Perhaps there are some, but their number must be extremely limited.”,

“This secret technique,

“it is a method that can make the power of a Golden Elixir Master soar.”,

“Once successful in crafting a life-bound Artifact, the strength of a Golden Elixir Master will also see a dramatic rise.”,

“A cultivator who has not crafted a life-bound Artifact will likely face a complete defeat when confronted with a cultivator of the same rank who has crafted one.”

“Although not necessarily leading to death, being defeated is only a matter of time.”

“Under such circumstances, all of those who have mastered the technique for crafting life-bound Artifacts will keep it tightly guarded.”

“Unless it is within a sect or a major aristocratic family, it might be circulated.”,

“And such secret techniques,

“we do have them in the Treasure Pavilion, and not in small numbers.”,

“But if it were other cultivators coming here, they would not only have to pay a huge price, but they also won’t be able to take away the most powerful treasures.”,

“However, if fellow Daoist asks, this humble girl is willing to let fellow Daoist choose at will.”
