"Of course, being a disciple in our Weapon Refining Hall is not without benefits. You can use some of the magic weapons and earth fire pools in the hall for free."

"Moreover, the spiritual stones distributed every month are much more than those distributed to disciples in other halls."

"Now, follow me to meet the other disciples of the Weapon Refining Hall. Some materials may require your concerted efforts to complete in the future."

Seeing that Chen Yun's attitude was acceptable, the old man's expression eased a little and continued.

Afterwards, the old man took Chen Yun out of the secret room.

After meeting the other three low-level disciples in the Qi Refining Stage, the old man casually arranged a place for Chen Yun to live.

In this way, Chen Yun's cultivation career in Huangqing Temple officially began.

The so-called Equipment Refining Hall is actually a separate courtyard built in the middle of the mountain where Huangqing Temple is located.

There are not many buildings here. Apart from a ground fire hall and several weapon refining pavilions, there are no other buildings worth mentioning.

The disciples in the hall could only live in caves built on the mountain.

As for the people in the hall, there is only the red-haired old man who is a professional weapon refiner.

There were also two other middle-aged cultivators at the eighth or ninth level of the Qi Refining Stage, who served as the old man's assistants in refining the weapon.

The remaining ones were Chen Yun and four other disciples from the Equipment Refining Hall.

Although this place is not big, it is spacious enough for these people.

However, there are many disciples of Huangqing Temple, both men and women, who come to the Equipment Refining Hall every day to rent the Equipment Refining Pavilion or directly request to refine various equipment.

After all, this is a women's temple, and eight out of ten disciples are female.

Moreover, these female monks were not all Taoist nuns. There were also many young women who tied their hair up and practiced Taoism. They were all beautiful and well-spoken, just like ladies from noble families.

Chen Yun watched coldly and found that the three male disciples from the Equipment Refining Hall were exhausted every day.

But he had already been fascinated by these female cultivators who came in and out.

All they did all day was try to please these female disciples and work hard on refining weapons, but their own cultivation had already stagnated for many years with no progress at all.

Among the male disciples who came here, a small number were the same as the disciples in the Equipment Refining Hall.

They are all disciples in appearance who are responsible for doing miscellaneous tasks, some are responsible for researching magic arrays, some are responsible for refining pills and so on.

As for the female disciples, they only need to concentrate on their cultivation.

Seeing this, Chen Yun shook his head secretly, but had no intention of interfering.

On weekdays, the reception of these male and female disciples was the responsibility of three other people, while Chen Yun was assigned to specifically study the refinement and purification of materials.

The red-faced old man would take an hour every day to explain some basic knowledge of refining equipment to Chen Yun, and sometimes he would even demonstrate it himself and give guidance.

With Chen Yun's original cultivation and knowledge, he did not think at first that he could learn anything profound from a weapon refiner in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and he just took the attitude of coping.

However, just a few days later, Chen Yun was shocked.

Although this old man's cultivation is not high, his attainments in the art of refining weapons are extremely profound.

Judging from the aspect of purifying materials alone, this person is proficient in various refining techniques and seems to have dabbled in the refining secrets of many sects.

Some of the refining techniques and knowledge were unheard of by Chen Yun.

In just over ten days, Chen Yun benefited a lot from it and was extremely surprised.

From this perspective, Dajin’s claim that it is a holy place for cultivating immortals in the human world is not an empty statement.

It is amazing that a weapon refiner from such a seemingly inconspicuous Taoist temple could master such a rich variety of weapon refining techniques.

There are both well-preserved ancient refining techniques and new refining techniques that have been accumulated, settled, and researched by successive refining masters over a long period of time.

It was far beyond the simple refining techniques of Tiannan and Luanxinghai, which really opened Chen Yun's eyes.

Speaking of which, Chen Yun is only average in the art of refining equipment now.

The weapon refining skills he had learned from Qi Yunxiao back then already seemed crude in light of his current cultivation and knowledge.

Later, in the Chaos Star Sea and after joining the Luoyun Sect, although he also read many books on weapon refining, there were not many contents that were truly useful to him.

Now that he has encountered this rare opportunity, Chen Yun will naturally not let it go easily.

In addition to practicing the Ming Wang Jue in meditation at other times, he was extremely attentive to the teachings of the old man named Wei.

The talent for refining weapons and his serious attitude made the old man very satisfied.

Sometimes, some of the questions raised by Chen Yun even hit the mark of the old man, and before the old man knew it, he would talk a lot more.

As a result, in just one month, the old man's attitude towards Chen Yun changed drastically.

From his stern and cold face at the beginning to his friendly and pleasant expression later, the other three disciples from the Weapon Refining Hall who knew the old man's temper well were stunned.

Out of jealousy, the three of them naturally had a bad attitude towards Chen Yun.

However, Chen Yun was in favor now, so they did not dare to cause trouble for him. It was just that when they met in daily life, their attitude was cold and indifferent.

Chen Yun was more than happy about this. He wanted to be alone and practice peacefully, and it would be best if no one disturbed him.

A month later, the old man surnamed Wei not only explained to Chen Yun many methods of refining materials, but also mentioned many unique refining techniques, asking Chen Yun to remember them in mind.

Chen Yun planned to go to various places in Dajin to collect these weapon refining techniques as soon as his magic power was restored.

So that the subsequent refining of the Seven Flame Fan and the Dayan God's puppet can be more perfect and their power can be increased to a higher level.

Just as the old man said, as soon as the one-month deadline arrived, Chen Yun was assigned a series of tasks to refine materials.

But judging from the level of accomplishment he has demonstrated, these tasks will naturally not be too difficult.

As a result, Chen Yun completed the task easily and effortlessly, and used the rest of his time to practice the Ming Wang Jue.

In this way, three or four months passed and everything went well.

Chen Yun felt that choosing to join Huangqing Temple might really be a good decision.

During this period, the old man surnamed Wei suddenly became extremely busy.

Usually, apart from giving the four people some refining tasks a few times a month, he would stay in the secret room of the Earth Fire Palace all day, refining something and was nowhere to be seen.

During this period, Fairy Hua Lian also came several times. Each time, she hid in a secret room with the old man, and it was unknown what they were discussing.

The two were quite cautious and would set up security measures every time they talked.

Although Chen Yun was somewhat curious, he only wanted to cultivate the Ming Wang Jue, so he did not risk using his spiritual sense to spy or eavesdrop.

On this day, in the secret room of the cave, Chen Yun sat cross-legged with his upper body twisted into a strange posture, his hands clasped together, sitting motionless on the cushion.

His body was shrouded in a faint golden light and was trembling slightly.

Looking closely, Chen Yun's skin was covered with dense bloodshot and thick blue veins. Egg-sized bumps moved around on his body like living things, looking extremely weird.

With every tremor of his body, Chen Yun's face would twitch involuntarily.

He showed an expression of great pain.

Beads of sweat the size of soybeans kept appearing on his forehead, as if he was going through an extremely intense exercise. Most of his clothes were soaked with sweat.

After an unknown amount of time, the golden light on Chen Yun's body gradually faded.

He let out a long breath, retracted the magic formula in his hands, and finally returned to his normal cross-legged sitting position.

Almost at the same time, all abnormal phenomena on his body surface quickly disappeared, and his body returned to normal in the blink of an eye.

As the suffocating flames in his body slowly dissipated, Chen Yun's tightly closed eyes gradually relaxed, revealing a thoughtful look in his eyes.

The so-called "Ming Wang Jue" is indeed extremely powerful.

Even though Chen Yun had successfully formed a fetus and had undergone a transformation-enhancing training, his body was almost unable to withstand the severe pain brought on by the constant training.

This made Chen Yun feel depressed, and at the same time, a trace of doubt arose in his mind.

Chen Yun suddenly asked Dayan Divine Lord:

"Senior, if I continue to practice this Ming Wang Jue, will it really be infallible? The second level of the Jue is already extremely painful."

“I can’t believe that the Buddhist monks only started practicing this method after forming their infants. Otherwise, by the time they reach the peak of their practice, their lifespans will probably be coming to an end.”

"However, if a cultivator in the Jindan stage practices this method, it is difficult for him to endure this kind of torture. Not only is the pain physical, but the spiritual consciousness can also clearly feel it."

Dayan God replied lazily:
"What's so strange about this? Since the Buddhist sect was able to transform the demon race's skills to this level, they should have also researched a method or tool to alleviate the pain of cultivation."

"After all, Buddhist techniques are good at enduring pain."

"Furthermore, if a cultivator has extraordinary perseverance, it is not impossible for a Jindan-stage cultivator to practice Mingwang Jue at the same time."

"And the dominance of this technique is also relative to us humans."

"It was originally created for the demons and ancient demons. They are strong and will not take the pain to heart."

Chen Yun frowned and smiled bitterly:
"I see. This explanation makes sense. But we have no time to care about anything else. We can only practice hard like this for now."

"For now, I can still bear it."

After saying this, Chen Yun gently took off his sleeves, revealing a bare arm.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the skin on his arm, with blue light flashing in his eyes.

After a cup of tea, Chen Yun gently poked his arm with a finger and then put his arm down.

Chen Yun whispered to himself: "Although I have gone through a lot of suffering, this Ming Wang Jue is indeed unique in terms of physical training, far better than other physical training methods I know."

"After just a short period of practice, I can already feel significant changes in my body."

Afterwards, Chen Yun sat quietly for a moment, stood up and left the secret room, slowly walking towards the Underworld Fire Hall.

Recently, in the process of refining materials, Chen Yun combined the refining skills taught by the old man named Wei and finally comprehended a new refining technique.

Therefore, at noon every day, he would use the power of the earth fire to refine the crystallized demon pill flying needle that was about to be completed again, in order to increase its power.

When Chen Yun was about to arrive at the main hall, he suddenly heard a noise coming from the direction of the gate.

Chen Yun was stunned when he heard the voice, and then looked over there.

I saw a group of people walking towards the gate, about eight or nine of them, and leading the way were three disciples from the Equipment Refining Hall.

Accompanying them were several young male and female monks, led by a girl of about sixteen or seventeen years old.

She was dressed in emerald green palace dress, had a beautiful face, extraordinary temperament, and a curious light in her eyes.

Among this group of people, their cultivation is outstanding compared to their age, and most of them are at the eighth to ninth level of the Qi Refining Stage.

The woman in palace dress had reached the pinnacle, having achieved the tenth level of Qi Refining Stage. She was undoubtedly the one with the highest level of cultivation among the crowd.

After looking around, Chen Yun quickly realized that these men and women who entered the weapon refining hall were of prominent backgrounds.

Almost everyone had bulging storage bags hanging around their waists, and two or three people even carried special spirit beast bags.

The three disciples from the Equipment Refining Hall served cautiously with fawning smiles on their faces, fearing to offend anyone present.

A gleam of light flashed in Chen Yun's eyes, and then he turned around, intending to pretend not to know him and enter the Earth Fire Hall first to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

However, at this moment, the disciple named Gao, who had the highest cultivation level among the three disciples of the Weapon Refining Hall and was the most hostile to Chen Yun, caught a glimpse of Chen Yun's back and suddenly shouted loudly:

"Junior Brother Chen, please come over here. Princess Luxiu needs to refine a magical weapon, and some materials need to be specially refined."

"You can help complete this task. This is an order personally issued by the Fourth Master. It cannot be ignored."

Chen Yun was slightly shocked when he heard this, and was even more surprised when he heard that it was the Fourth Master's order. He stopped and had to turn around.

After staying in Huangqing Temple for such a long time, Chen Yun also knew a little about the high-level cultivators in the temple. On the surface, the temple has four masters, all of whom are at the Jindan stage.

There is also a place called Tianqingyuan in the temple, where it is said that the only Nascent Soul cultivator in Huangqing Temple lives.

Although the Fourth Master entered the Jindan stage the latest, it is rumored that the martial arts he practiced is unique in the world.

His supernatural powers are the most outstanding among the four masters and he enjoys a great reputation in Nan County.

Even Mr. Lu from Bailu Academy couldn't help but change color when he heard the name. However, the identities of these four masters were extraordinary, and Chen Yun had never had the honor to meet any of them.

Chen Yun walked forward, carefully looked at the male and female monks, and said calmly:
"Since this is the order from the Fourth Master, I will do my best to assist."

A man in a blue brocade robe also looked at him. Seeing that he was only at the third or fourth level of the Qi Refining Stage, he showed a look of contempt and said unceremoniously:

"How dare you claim that you can refine materials? Your cultivation is too low."

"The Princess needs to refine the rare 'blood silver' this time. If you accidentally damage the material, can you afford it?"

The girl in palace dress, who should be Princess Xiuzhu, smiled with doubt in her eyes.

Chen Yun showed no anger at all, instead he responded with a smile:
"'Blood Silver' is indeed a rare material. I don't have full confidence that I can successfully refine it. I wonder if I can ask someone else to do it for me?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

"Humph! Didn't I hear that there is a highly skilled weapon refiner here? Why not let him come and refine materials for the princess?"

The other handsome man finally came to his senses and spoke in dissatisfaction.

"Master Wei is in seclusion refining a valuable treasure and has not appeared for many days. I am afraid he cannot help the princess refine the materials."

The one who responded was a disciple from the Equipment Refining Hall. (End of this chapter)
