Chapter 1312 Success

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, I see your sincerity."

"The cooperation between the Lin family and you is based on trust. I believe you will not do anything that harms the interests of both parties."

"Just rest assured and retreat. I will have someone send all the Lin family's books on refining to your retreat site."

"Patriarch Lin is very courageous. No wonder he was able to develop the Lin family to what it is today."

Having got what he wanted, Zhou Yiqiao did not hesitate to express his praise and immediately gave a few compliments.

Lin Xiaotian smiled slightly, then clapped his hands, and a disciple responded and entered the study.

Lin Xiaotian ordered.

"Go and sort out all the books on weapon forging in the family's Sutra Library and send them to where Fellow Daoist Zhou is in seclusion."

"Yes, patriarch."

The disciple took the order and withdrew.

"Daoyou Zhou's time is precious. From now on, you only need to let the younger generations in the clan inform them of such trivial matters. You don't have to go there in person."

Zhou Yiqiao agreed with a smile, then followed the guards out of Lin Xiaotian's study.

He had just arrived at the retreat stone chamber when the Lin family members who were ordered to go to the library immediately moved all the books on refining equipment in the Lin clan to Zhou Yiqiao's cave.

"Thank you for your help."

Zhou Yiqiao waved his hand, and several bottles of pills slipped out of his sleeves and were gently placed on the table. He smiled at the group of Lin family members who were sweating profusely but had happy faces:.

"These pills are just a token of thanks for your hard work."

Upon seeing this, the Lin family members all showed gratitude on their faces and bowed.

"Thank you, Senior Zhou, for the gift!"

After saying this, the group left the cave in an orderly manner with full joy and respect.

After seeing off the Lin family members, Zhou Yiqiao did not waste any time and immediately began to learn about weapon refining knowledge.

In order to refine his natal magic weapon, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, Zhou Yiqiao had already studied all the knowledge from the first to the third level of weapon refining, so he absorbed the basic content extremely quickly.

After Zhou Yiqiao simply consolidated the first to third level equipment refining knowledge, he couldn't wait to open the higher-level classics.

He carefully studied every book, from the identification and refining of refining materials, to the structural design of magical instruments, to every detail in the refining process.

As his studies progressed, Zhou Yiqiao began to try to combine the contents of the Changuang Treasure Refining Technique with these refining knowledge.

He found that many obscure descriptions in the Toad Light Treasure Refining Technique gradually became clear after comparing them with the weapon refining classics.

"It turns out that working in isolation doesn't work. Combining theory with practice is the way to improve."

Zhou Yiqiao pondered in his heart and felt more and more that this cooperation with the Lin family was an extremely wise choice.

He was like a hungry man who suddenly found himself at a feast of knowledge, greedily absorbing every drop of nutrients.

The sun rises and the moon sets, and time seems to have lost its meaning to Zhou Yiqiao. In his heart there is only the endless exploration and pursuit of the art of refining weapons.

Inside the cave, the candlelight flickered, illuminating Zhou Yiqiao's focused and determined face.

His fingers gently stroked every page of the book, as if he was having a conversation across time and space with the ancient master of weapon refining.

Whenever he encountered a problem or puzzle, he would close his eyes and think, integrating the knowledge he had learned with his own experience, striving to find the most perfect solution.

After immersing himself in theory for several years, Zhou Yiqiao finally tried to refine the weapon himself.

Fortunately, the most spiritual objects he obtained from the four major sects were spiritual iron and spiritual ore used for refining weapons. Even though he failed countless times, he did not feel the slightest bit of heartache.

In the years that followed, Zhou Yiqiao completely locked himself up in the Lin family's retreat, isolating himself from all disturbances from the outside world.

He often sat for days at a time, and sometimes, in order to master a complex refining technique, he would even practice it hundreds or thousands of times until he was satisfied.

During this process, his ability to control spiritual power was greatly improved, and his understanding of the art of refining equipment became more profound.

As time went by, Zhou Yiqiao became more and more proficient in the Toad Light Treasure Refining Technique. He even began to try to make some improvements to this treasure refining technique to make it more suitable for himself.

Finally one day, Zhou Yiqiao absorbed and digested all the contents of the Toad Light Treasure Refining Technique and officially decided to come out of seclusion!

"boom!"

The door of the stone chamber slowly opened, and dazzling sunlight instantly poured in, causing Zhou Yiqiao, who had lived in the dark room for a long time, to squint his eyes slightly.

He took a deep breath of the fresh air outside, and his heart was filled with indescribable excitement and satisfaction.

Although the days of seclusion were lonely and long, his persistence and pursuit of the art of refining weapons enabled him to achieve unprecedented growth and transformation during this period.

Walking out of the stone chamber, Zhou Yiqiao's eyes swept across the familiar Lin family courtyard, and he couldn't help feeling grateful in his heart.

He knew that without the support and trust of the Lin family, he would not have been able to go so far on the road of refining equipment.

So he decided to find Lin Xiaotian first to share his achievements and express his gratitude.

Arriving at Lin Xiaotian's study, Zhou Yiqiao knocked gently on the door and walked in after getting permission.

Lin Xiaotian was handling clan affairs with his head down. When he saw Zhou Yiqiao coming, he immediately put down what he was doing and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"It's been a hundred years. Brother Zhou, you finally came out of seclusion!"

Zhou Yiqiao was stunned when he heard this, as if he had not expected that he had been in seclusion for a hundred years.

Lin Xiaotian didn't notice Zhou Yiqiao's expression at all and continued talking to himself.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, you have been in seclusion for a hundred years this time. This is truly admirable."

"You don't know that in the past hundred years, the toad eggs laid by the golden toad in the secret realm have grown into a new batch of young toads, and nearly a hundred adult toads have been harvested. The collected toad skins, toad meat, toad bones and other spiritual materials are extremely valuable, adding half a percent of the income to the Lin family!"

"In order to prevent the Baochan Secret Realm from being coveted by villains, Fellow Daoist Li moved his own cave into the secret realm and stationed there personally to guard it after he came out of seclusion eighty years ago."

Having said that, Lin Xiaotian's tone slowed down.

He looked at Zhou Yiqiao and said tentatively.

"Now, among the spiritual objects on the Golden Treasure Toad, the only ones whose effects have not yet been verified are the Toad Spirit Jade in my Lin family's warehouse."

"I wonder how far Brother Zhou has cultivated the Toad Light Refining Treasure Technique?"

Zhou Yiqiao came back to his senses, smiled slightly, and his eyes sparkled with confidence.

"Patriarch Lin, don't worry. The Toad Light Refining Treasure Art is not only related to the advancement of your Lin family's treasures, but also has a vital relationship with the advancement of the magic weapon used by Zhou."

"As long as there are enough natural treasures, as long as it is a magical tool within Zhou's realm, Zhou now has the confidence to make further progress!"
