    ## Chapter 413: The End of the Tune, Upgrade Through Trade

    2024-05-22

    After reading the invitation letter, Lu Changan calculated and verified its authenticity.

    For targets with lower cultivation levels, divination is easier, unless they are blessed with extraordinary luck.

    “Go there yourself.”

    Lu Changan instructed the old butler Dong with a storage bag.

    “This servant obeys.”

    The stooped old butler received the storage bag and vanished in a wooden escape light, flying out of the Changqing Peak Dojo surrounded by water.

    Lu Changan sighed, “The one who truly owes me a favor has not come.”

    Jin Yun Valley, Zhike Peak.

    In the side hall, a dozen or so cultivators, ranging from Qi Refinement to Core Formation, were seated in different areas.

    Some of the Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment cultivators were trying to curry favor.

    “What connection do you have with Lu Zhenjun?”

    “My surname is Du. My great-grandfather, ‘Du Wei,’ was a Pill Master. He was good friends with Lu Zhenjun when he was a loose cultivator in Huanglong Xiancheng. He helped him refine Foundation Establishment Pills, forming a bond of goodwill…”

    A Foundation Establishment short-bearded middle-aged man spoke eloquently.

    “My name is Lin Feng, the young master of the Lin family in Hengshui County. My ancestor, ‘Lin Yi,’ was the son of Guang’an Hou. He was a good friend of Lu Zhenjun when he first entered the world of cultivation. The Foundation Establishment Elder, ‘Lin Lu,’ in Jin Yun Valley was my great-grandfather.”

    A young man dressed like a scholar, a Qi Refinement cultivator, spoke with a hint of pride.

    “Lin Lu?”

    A nearby cultivator sneered, “Didn’t he defect to the Beast King Valley and die on the battlefield many years ago? I heard he even left descendants among the Demon Path.”

    “This… you are slandering me!”

    The scholar-dressed Qi Refinement cultivator’s face flushed red. As a loose cultivator, he was relatively isolated from information about the cultivation world’s sects.

    “Silence! The Changqing Peak Butler has arrived.”

    A False Core Elder from Zhike Peak loudly reprimanded.

    The side hall instantly fell silent.

    All eyes converged on the stooped Foundation Establishment butler.

    Even the two True Core cultivators did not dare to neglect him, they quickly stood up and greeted him with smiles.

    “My name is ‘Li Huizhu’ from the Li family of Xuemei Mountain. My grandfather is the founding ancestor of the Xuemei Mountain Li family, ‘Li Congren.’ The founder of the Li family, ‘Li Erqing,’ was also a hundred-year friend of Lu Zhenjun.”

    One of the True Core cultivators, a beautiful woman in a purple skirt, spoke in a melodious voice, gracefully bowing, neither humble nor arrogant.

    Everyone in the hall respectfully acknowledged. Xuemei Mountain Li family was one of the top ten families in Liang Guo today.

    “I am ‘Zhou Tianchi’ from the Zhou family of Beast Taming. I received Lu Zhenjun’s care. My Zhou family’s ancestors, such as the ancestor Zhou Qingxuan, had a deep friendship with Lu Zhenjun…”

    The other True Core cultivator was a white-haired, old man in a Confucian robe. He was incomplete, missing an arm and a part of his shoulder.

    Compared to Li Huizhu from Xuemei Mountain Li family, Zhou Tianchi was much more desolate and miserable.

    Nearly a hundred years ago, when Changqing Zhenjun left Liang Guo, out of guilt for Zhou Qingxuan’s death, he made a promise to the Zhou family.

    There were two options.

    One, immediate fulfillment, receiving a third-order puppet and a third-order high-grade talisman.

    Two, the favor could be redeemed in the future.

    At that time, due to the Demon Path war, Zhou Tianchi immediately chose to redeem the favor.

    This choice was not wrong at the time.

    However, relying on the advantages of the third-order puppet and third-order high-grade talisman, Zhou Tianchi was eager to achieve merit on the battlefield, which led to serious injuries and impaired foundation.

    Because he was not a Puppet Master, he could not unleash the true power of the third-order puppet. With his distracted control, he was ambushed by a beast from the Beast Taming Sect.

    Although Zhou Tianchi was still a True Core cultivator, his combat strength had fallen to the False Core level.

    The Zhou family also lost many young and strong individuals, leaving them with a shortage of successors. They had fallen from the top ten families.

    Upon learning of the news that Changqing Zhenjun had defeated the Demon Path Nascent Soul and returned in a commanding manner, Zhou Tianchi was struck like lightning.

    When he was receiving Changqing Zhenjun and making the two choices, he never thought that the other party would be able to advance further.

    “Fellow Daoists, please have your identities verified by the old man, starting with the highest cultivation level.”

    The butler, Old Dong, looked around at the cultivators in the hall with cloudy eyes.

    “I must warn you. If there is any cultivator who pretends or deceives, angering Zhenjun, they will face a banishment from the Liang Guo cultivation world!”

    As soon as these words were spoken, some cultivators in the hall were startled, and a few showed retreat and fear in their eyes.

    The word ‘banishment’ was no joke.

    If a Nascent Soul Zhenjun disliked a small individual, they wouldn’t even have to take action. They only need to show some sign, and no force would dare to take them in. People would even seize the opportunity to suppress them.

    “I am Zhou Tianchi, the Grand Elder of the Zhou family. We also have business dealings with Jin Yun Sect, my identity is beyond doubt. Today, I have heard that Lu Zhenjun has returned, and I am here to offer congratulations and pay my respects.”

    Zhou Tianchi spoke first, seizing the opportunity before Xuemei Mountain Li Huizhu.

    The cultivators in the hall could not openly say that they were here to cling to Zhenjun’s thigh and seek protection. They all used the pretext of past relationships and friendships to come and offer congratulations in name.

    “So it’s Zhenren Zhou.”

    Butler Old Dong narrowed his eyes, smiling amiably. He took out a mid-grade spirit stone from his storage bag.

    “The old man is here to thank Zhenren Zhou on behalf of Zhenjun for your congratulations. This mid-grade spirit stone is also a reward from Lu Zhenjun to the descendants of old friends.”

    “This… reward?”

    Zhou Tianchi opened his mouth, as if he had been doused with cold water. He took the spirit stone reward and appeared dispirited.

    He knew that after redeeming the favor that year, his ancestor’s favor had been exhausted.

    Lu Zhenjun gave a spirit stone reward, not denying the past relationship, acknowledging their visit from afar to offer congratulations.

    As for further care and advancement, Lu Zhenjun did not owe them anything, nor did he have the obligation.

    Seeing Zhou Tianchi’s outcome,

    Li Huizhu was apprehensive and went forward with gritted teeth, reporting her family history and offering her congratulations to Lu Zhenjun, hoping to get an audience.

    “Lu Zhenjun also remembers your Xuemei Mountain Li family.”

    Butler Old Dong chuckled and took out another mid-grade spirit stone as a reward for their congratulations.

    Li Huizhu felt bitterness in her heart, her previous expectations were dashed.

    She remembered her grandfather, Li Congren, telling her stories about Changqing Zhenjun, including the bond between the Mu family, the Li family, and Changqing Zhenjun.

    At one stage, Changqing Zhenjun had become the biggest support for Xuemei Mountain Li family.

    Li Huizhu had admired Changqing Zhenjun since she was young. After her grandfather passed away, she helped to continue compiling and revising “Changqing Legend” and “Xuan Gui Travels,” promoting his positive image.

    “I am grateful for the reward. Xuemei Mountain Li family remembers the past kindness of Lu Zhenjun. Please pass on our regards to the old man.”

    Li Huizhu received the spirit stone, calmed her dispirited mood, and bowed respectfully.

    Seeing this, Zhou Tianchi secretly sneered from a distance, feeling a sense of psychological balance.

    Back then, Xuemei Mountain Li family received the most care from Changqing Zhenjun due to their ancestor, Li Erqing. Although Xuemei Mountain Li family had once assisted Lu Zhenjun in escaping to Jing Guo for seclusion.

    Zhou Tianchi couldn’t help but feel a bit resentful about this.

    Furthermore, Xuemei Mountain Li family had grown stronger in the past hundred years, had a good relationship with Jin Yun Valley, and their regional influence surpassed that of the Beast Taming Zhou family.

    The two parties were now competitors, their relationship was deteriorating, so Zhou Tianchi was dissatisfied with Xuemei Mountain Li family, including jealousy.

    Li Congren, a False Core cultivator, was adept at management and had made numerous connections during his lifetime.

    Back then, when Changqing Zhenjun returned to Liang Guo from Jing Guo, he had stayed as a guest on Xuemei Mountain, and Tianfeng Zhenjun had also come with him. Later, Zhang Tianfeng was promoted to Nascent Soul, even without special care, his influence and intimidation were still there.

    吱!

    Li Huizhu was about to leave after receiving the spirit stone when a clear, fearful sound came from her spirit pet bag.

    “Treasure Rat, what’s wrong?”

    Li Huizhu was slightly startled and immediately comforted it.

    The Treasure Rat in the spirit pet bag was a descendant of the one Li Congren had.

    It was carefully bred and improved, resulting in the most pure bloodline. It was exquisite in appearance, possibly even surpassing its grandfather in terms of bloodline.

    吱!嗖!

    A light gold spirit rat, scared, dashed out of the spirit pet bag and ran out of the side hall.

    Li Huizhu was caught off guard and immediately chased after it.

    On the nearby hillside, a half-demon rat man wearing a purple-red robe was standing.

    The second-order peak Treasure Rat, with jewel-like eyes, showed respect and submission, rubbing against the half-demon rat man in a flattering manner.

    “Greetings to Lord Diyan.”

    The cultivators around Jin Yun Valley, seeing this, respectfully bowed and retreated from afar.

    Lord Diyan?

    Li Huizhu’s mind raced, her face shaking in shock. She also bowed respectfully, not daring to obstruct him.

    Lord Diyan stroked the Treasure Rat’s soft fur, a look of reminiscence and nostalgia in his eyes.

    “Good boy! I’ll take you to eat some good stuff.”

    Lord Diyan smiled, turned around, and took the high-looking Treasure Rat to Changqing Peak Dojo.

    In the side hall, the cultivators watched in surprise.

    Those who understood the situation couldn’t help but feel envious.

    “Damn it! This Xuemei Mountain Li family is truly blessed by their ancestors.”

    Zhou Tianchi felt sour in his heart.

    Xuemei Mountain Li family had now also incorporated the Beast Taming lineage.

    Back then, when breeding Treasure Rats, Li Congren had consulted the Zhou family and purchased spirit rats with superior bloodlines.

    Because the Treasure Rat had brought fortune to Li Congren personally and to his family in its early days. He wanted to pass this fortune on to his descendants.

    “Next.”

    Butler Old Dong still smiled as he checked the identities of those who came to congratulate Zhenjun’s descendants.

    “Old man Song Xi, my father Song Wenshu, my mother Shen Bixing, they were good friends with Lu Zhenjun in their early years. I once received a Ningjing Dan from Lu Zhenjun. Today, I am here to offer congratulations and express my gratitude.”

    A round-faced old man in a merchant’s robe, with a smile on his face, bowed deeply, giving a feeling of kindness and smoothness.

    Song Xi obtained that slightly flawed Ningjing Dan from back then, gathered spiritual materials in Wuye Town, and was fortunate enough to form a False Core.

    “Reward with a mid-grade spirit stone.”

    Butler Old Dong again took out a spirit stone.

    “Junior Qi Chang, the current leader of Changwei Escort Agency lineage of Wuqi Mountain, my great-grandfather ‘Qi Feng’ passed away a few years ago. He spent his entire life guarding the tomb of ‘Guan Qiaozhi’ grandmother on Xiaogui Peak. I, on behalf of my great-grandfather, am here to offer congratulations to Lu Zhenjun.”

    A Foundation Establishment mid-stage silver-armored strongman bowed respectfully.

    “Junior Du Fu, a second-order Pill Master in Huanglong Xiancheng, my great-grandfather ‘Du Wei’ was a Pill Master…”

    “Junior Ye Yun, I am the descendant of ‘Ye Fei’ from Xiaodan Peak of Wuqi Mountain…”

    “Junior ‘Zheng Yang’ from Tiexing Mountain Villa Zheng family, my ancestor ‘Zheng Wu’ had dealings with Lu Zhenjun when he was on Xiaogui Peak…”

    “Junior Lin Feng, the young master of the Lin family in Hengshui County. My ancestor ‘Lin Yi’ was the son of Guang’an Hou. The Foundation Establishment Elder ‘Lin Lu’ in Jin Yun Valley was…”

    Finally, it was the turn of an elderly couple, a grandfather and granddaughter in Qi Refinement.

    “Old man Mu Congde, the head of the Mu family, my ancestor was from the Feiyue Lake Mu family… Today, I bring my granddaughter Mu Yating to offer congratulations to Lu Zhenjun.”

    The old man held his Qi Refinement early-stage granddaughter and knelt down to bow.

    The granddaughter, named Mu Yating, was beautiful and had a few features resembling Mu Xiuyun and Mu Bingyun from the past. But this girl’s eyes flickered, her voice was delicate, and her overall temperament was not as good.

    “Reward with a spirit stone.”

    Butler Old Dong hesitated for a moment and gave two mid-grade spirit stones, one for each of the grandfather and granddaughter. This was a small favor for their cultivation levels.

    After hundreds of years, the Mu family had completely declined.

    The last Foundation Establishment cultivator was Mu Changxiu, Mu Bingyun’s son. He was not good at management and died of illness decades ago.

    The cultivation Mu family was still there, the lineage had not been completely broken.

    But the “Feiyue Lake Mu family,” which had experienced ups and downs in the past, was finally disbanded and its name was no longer there.

    With no Foundation Establishment cultivators, the Mu family could naturally not retain their Feiyue Lake territory.

    Feiyue Lake was now controlled by the “Yu family.”

    The Yu family had a True Core female cultivator behind them, named Yu Yu’fu, from Jin Yang Sect, she was the dao companion of Mu Jiu’an.

    Mu Jiu’an, a False Core cultivator, had reached the end of his lifespan but died in the Demon Path war in his old age.

    In remembrance of this relationship, the Yu family took in the declining Mu family, becoming a subsidiary family of the Feiyue Lake Yu family.

    Upon hearing the news that Changqing Zhenjun had returned, the current head of the Mu family was excited to pay a visit.

    If Lu Zhenjun said one word, the Mu family’s revival would be just around the corner!

    However, reality was cruel.

    Separated by so many generations, the relationship and favors were exhausted.

    The level at which a Nascent Soul Zhenjun resided was too high, so much so that they, like ants, were at their feet and could not even enter their field of vision.

    Let alone a Qi Refinement family like them.

    Even a high-ranking True Core cultivator, “Zhou Tianchi,” would face countless obstacles to see Lu Zhenjun.

    Lu Changan, stepping on the escape light, arrived at Tianfeng Dojo and met Zhang Tieshan.

    Lord Diyan’s actions were actually within his calculations.

    It was good this way. He did not want to leave the outside world with the image of a True Jun who cherished past relationships. Otherwise, it might not be a good thing for those descendants of his old friends.

    After these people left, Lu Changan did not mind spreading the rumor that Changqing Zhenjun had become a Nascent Soul and was now indifferent to favors.

    “Junior Huo Zhen, I have met Lu Zhenjun.”

    In the Tianfeng Dojo, a steady young man with a broad, firm face greeted him.

    Huo Zhen, True Core mid-stage, the current Sect Master of Jin Yun Valley.

    He was also a disciple of Zhang Tieshan, previously not a prominent figure. Not long after Lu Changan left Daqing, Huo Zhen was promoted to Core Formation, becoming a high-ranking member of the sect.

    “Huo Xian nephew.”

    Lu Changan nodded in response. This man was serious and unsmiling, his way of doing things was like Zhang Tieshan in the past.

    Huo Zhen invited Lu Changan to the main hall of his subworld and then bowed and retired to handle sect matters.

    Zhang Tieshan made spiritual tea for Lu Changan, and they sat down as host and guest.

    “Lu, I have received the invitation from Chu Mengzhu. After I settle down in Jin Yun Valley, I will go to the main headquarters of the Righteous Path Alliance to meet Chu Mengzhu and exchange resources.”

    Lu Changan stated his travel plan.

    The main headquarters of the Righteous Path Alliance was in Feng Guo.

    He also had a personal matter, and he would visit Xia Xianzi’s situation on the way.

    “No problem, Chu Mengzhu has not set a time limit. Lu Daoist doesn’t need to be wary. Chu Mengzhu is broad-minded and loves talent. It is beneficial and harmless to meet him.”

    Zhang Tianfeng knew that Lu Changan was cautious by nature, so he dispelled his doubts.

    He did not know the specifics, but Lu Changan was no longer the same. He was not afraid to meet Chu Tianfeng at all.

    “Chu Mengzhu is open-minded and upright, I have also heard of him.”

    Lu Changan naturally knew about the Righteous Path Alliance’s number one cultivator’s deeds and personality.

    Part of it came from the memories of Lihuo Shangren.

    It is said that Chu Tianfeng, in the early stage of Nascent Soul, once traveled to the central region of Daqing for hundreds of years, obtaining some kind of opportunity.

    After returning from his travels, Chu Tianfeng successfully advanced to the mid-stage of Nascent Soul, commanding the surrounding countries.

    Chu Tianfeng was quite accommodating.

    Back then, Liang Shaoting’s established Xuan Yin Sect had connections with the six Demon Path sects and was considered a branch of the Daqing Demon Path.

    At that time, the Wu Jian Men attempted to infiltrate and instigate the Xuan Yin Sect.

    Some high-ranking officials in the Righteous Path Alliance suggested eliminating the Xuan Yin Sect ahead of time to guard against internal cooperation.

    Chu Tianfeng went against the tide, choosing to support Liang Shaoting and the Xuan Yin Sect. By using this rising force, he stabilized the early Demon Path war in Jing Guo.

    Facts proved that his vision and choices were correct. Liang Shaoting, with his powerful magical powers and combat techniques, shined brightly on the Demon Path battlefield.

    Liang Shaoting later advanced to the Nascent Soul stage and, in gratitude to Chu Tianfeng, steadfastly supported him.

    After a pleasant chat, Lu Changan got to the point and took out the partially refined “Black Heaven Wings.”

    “This flying artifact is rare in the world.”

    Zhang Tianfeng examined it for a long time, unable to put it down.

    It could increase the speed of an escape by one small realm. Such flying artifacts were rare in the cultivation world.

    Even Zhang Tianfeng, with his knowledge, was somewhat moved.

    Blackfeather Zhenjun was able to control these wings, initially because the main material of the wings had deteriorated in spirituality and quality over long years. Later, it was he who activated and nurtured it with his bloodline for hundreds of years, enabling it to unleash its considerable power.

    “To modify the ‘Black Heaven Wings’ and unleash their true power, the fourth-order Artifact Refining Masters in Daqing might not be able to do it.”

    Zhang Tieshan pondered, seeming a bit hesitant.

    “If there is any difficulty, Zhang Daoist, please be direct.”

    Lu Changan’s eyes flickered. In his calculations, there was a glimmer of hope on Zhang Tieshan’s side.

    Hundreds of years of friendship and understanding, and enough information sources, allowed him to roughly deduce Zhang Tieshan’s secret opportunity.

    “I barely have a modification plan that is suitable for those who practice wood-elemental techniques with strong nurturing abilities. However, it requires the ancient Treasure Nurturing Secret Technique, ‘Sky Patching Nurturing Spirit Art’.”

    “This secret technique helps to nurture and cultivate the spirituality of artifacts, and even has a slight chance of giving birth to a spirit. It is incredibly valuable. I obtained it from a senior and cannot easily share it.”

    “Naturally, I will not ask Zhang Daoist to give it to me for free.”

    Lu Changan expressed his understanding.

    He was heart-stricken by that ‘Sky Patching Nurturing Spirit Art’.

    There was a slight chance of giving birth to a spirit, involving the top-secret Artifact Refining lineage of crafting True Spirit Treasures.

    This method could help him cultivate the spirituality of artifacts and perfect his talisman inheritance.

    Zhang Tieshan’s modification plan leaned towards the Dao of Artifact Refining, and even contained some principles of refining spirit treasures.

    This was completely different from Blackfeather Zhenjun’s bloodline compatibility and beast taming secret techniques.

    Once successful, the modified and upgraded Black Heaven Wings would not only be able to unleash their power for Lu Changan but also for Diyan and other cultivators.

    At that time, it would become a universal flying artifact.

    Lu Changan guessed that Zhang Tieshan already knew that he practiced Changqing Gong and needed to shorten his lifespan to restore more spirituality by using Changqing Secret Techniques.

    Therefore, this modification plan was suitable for Lu Changan. Other cultivators could not do it, or the price they would have to pay would be too high, not worth it.

    After a brief probe, Lu Changan stopped talking nonsense and took out a large pile of fourth-order and above items and resources from his space artifact.

    “Zhang Daoist, take a look and see what you can use.”

    Based on previous transactions, Lu Changan guessed what Zhang Tieshan might need.

    Deep-sea rare ores, high-grade artifacts, fourth-order conch shells, demon king materials, demon parts…

    Zhang Tieshan quickly glanced over them and couldn’t help but be startled.

    The quality of these materials and artifacts might not be particularly high, but they were rare in Daqing.

    For example, the few pieces of sea ores and conch shells were already extinct in Daqing, but they contained certain material components lacking in spirit treasures.

    Including the high-grade artifacts Lu Changan took out, they also contained products unique to the coastal area.

    “It wouldn’t be easy for Lu Daoist to collect these materials and artifacts alone, right?”

    Zhang Tianfeng said meaningfully.

    Lu Changan had sold stolen goods to Zhang Tieshan before and did not need to avoid it:

    “I know a friend who has a pseudo-spirit treasure. I once teamed up with him to kill a hostile Nascent Soul. Unfortunately, one of the Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivators managed to escape by detaching his spirit, we couldn’t completely kill him. Otherwise, there would be more materials today.”

    “Pseudo-spirit treasure? Killed a Nascent Soul mid-stage?”

    Zhang Tieshan’s eyelids twitched, feeling that Lu Changan’s words were implying something.

    Could he have guessed his secret and was testing him?

    Zhang Tieshan didn’t doubt that Lu Changan was exaggerating. In reality, he would be more conservative.

    A complete pseudo-spirit treasure was more powerful than the incomplete spirit treasure he controlled. The drawback was that it consumed terrifying amounts of mana and placed an enormous burden on the spirit.

    Even Nascent Soul Grand Masters could not use pseudo-spirit treasures as regular artifacts, they could only unleash them for a few consecutive attacks.

    The main reason was that pseudo-spirit treasures did not have spirits and lacked the magical functions of spirit treasures.

    Lu Changan revealed this information to warn Zhang Tieshan not to have ulterior motives in their artifact refining trade and to keep his secrets.

    At the same time, it was to make Zhang Tieshan firmly and correctly stand with the Green Wood True Jun and Changqing Zhenjun.

    “These materials and artifacts are useful to me.”

    Zhang Tieshan selected some of them, including a few seemingly insignificant materials and defective parts.

    “By the way, Lu Daoist, do you have any extra Five Element Soil?”

    Zhang Tieshan changed the subject, brazenly asking.

    Staring at him for a few breaths, his old face flushed slightly.

    Five Element Soil was a universal soil source, considered rare earth in artifact refining materials. Zhang Tieshan would never have too much.

    Five Element Soil could be refined through secret techniques to enhance its quality.

    “My Five Element Soil reserves are running low, and your demand is a bit too much. ‘Sky Patching Nurturing Spirit Art’ is indeed precious, but if you keep it to yourself, it won’t realize any value.”

    Although they had been friends for hundreds of years, they were not polite when it came to haggling.

    After a long while, Lu Changan and Zhang Tieshan finally reached an agreement.

    Lu Changan was willing to add a portion of Five Element Soil but required Zhang Tieshan to help him upgrade the Nail-Head Arrow to a high-grade artifact.

    Zhang Tieshan agreed to do his best, but Lu Changan had to provide the artifact refining materials himself.

    The main material for the Nail-Head Arrow’s shaft was Soul-Nurturing Wood, a famous wood in the cultivation world with a high growth limit.

    Lu Changan had been nurturing it as his life-bound artifact with Changqing Gong for two hundred years. Its quality was no less than that of a fourth-order high-grade material.

    When it came time to refine it, Lu Changan would invest some more lifespan to try to enhance its quality to the fourth-order peak level.

    Fortunately, the Nail-Head Arrow was a small artifact. The cost would not be too great.

    Thus, even if Zhang Tieshan’s artifact refining skills were lacking, with the guidance of the spirit, there should be basic guarantees.

    After reaching their trading agreement, Lu Changan returned to his dojo.

    This artifact refining upgrade required preparation from both sides. Some materials were still missing.

    Zhang Tieshan, as an Artifact Refining Master and the Grand Elder of a Nascent Soul sect, had ample material reserves, but he would not do it for free.

    Lu Changan stated that his puppet refining skills had already reached the level of refining quasi-fourth-order puppets.

    Zhang Tianfeng was quite tempted and was willing to help Lu Changan collect and advance some precious materials.

    Lu Changan highly valued this artifact refining trade.

    If the Black Heaven Wings and Nail-Head Arrow could reach the expected quality, his personal strength would increase significantly.

    Lu Changan had never fired all three Nail-Head Arrows in a battle.

    Therefore, one of the Nail-Head Arrows, the one nurtured for the longest time, had not been “sharpened” for over two hundred years.

    Even though the power of the Nail-Head Arrow increased after being nurtured for decades, there were diminishing returns.

    But due to its long nurturing time, the accumulated power was also beyond comparison.

    It was estimated that after being upgraded, the soul-killing power it contained, in the state of his fourth reincarnation, would pose a significant threat to Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivators, capable of instantly collapsing a Nascent Soul in its initial stage.

    Lu Changan had never used this most powerful Nail-Head Arrow, it was naturally intended as a gift for Green Wood True Jun.
