Chapter 1313: Retreat and Refine Treasures
Lin Xiaotian was overjoyed to get Zhou Yiqiao's affirmative answer.
During the past hundred years, the various materials on the Golden Toad have been verified by the Lin family to be of extraordinary value. He naturally believed that the Toad Spirit Jade would also be able to upgrade the magic weapon to a level far beyond the ordinary level, just as Zhou Yiqiao said.
But believing is believing, only by seeing the results with your own eyes can you feel truly at ease.
"In that case, I wonder when Brother Zhou will start refining it!?"
Lin Xiaotian couldn't wait to ask.
"Don't worry, Patriarch Lin."
Zhou Yiqiao stopped him with amusement.
“Before refining, Zhou must make the responsibility clear to Patriarch Lin and the Lin family.”
"Patriarch Lin, although the Toad Light Refining Treasure Technique can transform decay into magic, it is not completely risk-free."
"The Toad Spirit Jade is the most precious thing in the Golden Treasure Toad's body. The energy and spirituality it contains are extraordinary. If there is a slight mistake in the refining process, it may fail, or even cause irreversible damage to the magic weapon."
"This is the first time Zhou has tried to use this technique to upgrade a magical instrument. Although I am confident that I can do my best to not damage the original grade of the magical instrument, I cannot achieve 100% success."
"Therefore, if the promotion fails, if the Lin family still wants to continue, the natural treasures and rare materials will naturally need to be re-prepared, and all the losses and risks must be understood by Patriarch Lin and the entire Lin family and shared by all."
There was a hint of solemnity in Zhou Yiqiao's words, and he looked at Lin Xiaotian deeply, as if confirming the other party's determination.
He is not a sucker. If the other party is unwilling to take the risk of failure, he will sever the alliance with the Lin family even if it means violating the contract and paying a large amount of financial compensation.
When Lin Xiaotian heard this, his expression changed slightly, but he soon nodded as a matter of course.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, what are you talking about? No matter how powerful a refiner is, he cannot guarantee success every time he refines something. I, Lin Xiaotian, naturally understand this principle."
"When Lin signed the contract with Fellow Daoist Zhou, he had already taken these possible losses into consideration. Fellow Daoist Zhou does not need to worry about this!"
"Okay! With Patriarch Lin's words, Zhou no longer has to worry!"
Zhou Yiqiao was also full of enthusiasm and did not hide his excitement at all.
"Zhou has been in seclusion for a hundred years. According to the agreement with the Lin family, he should refine two magic tools for the Lin family."
"Please ask Patriarch Lin to bring the two magical instruments and the corresponding natural treasures. I will go into seclusion immediately and start working on the magical instruments' advancement!"
Hearing this, Lin Xiaotian curled up a satisfied smile, then turned around and winked at a family elder beside him.
The elder immediately understood and bowed and retreated. Soon he led a group of servants dressed in Lin family costumes into the hall. They all held exquisite jade plates in their hands. The jade plates were covered with gauze as thin as a cicada's wing, and an extraordinary light could be vaguely seen flowing underneath.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, these are the two magical instruments that the Lin family carefully selected and prepared for you to advance."
Lin Xiaotian said as he motioned for his attendants to come forward.
The attendants stepped forward one by one and gently lifted the veil. Suddenly, the hall was filled with bright light, and the two magical instruments revealed their true appearance.
Lin Xiaotian pointed at the jade plates in the servants' hands and began to introduce them one by one.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, please take a look. This first magical weapon is called 'Flowing Light Shuttle'. It was obtained by a great elder of my Lin family when he explored an ancient ruin in his early years."
"The main body of the Flowing Light Shuttle is made of outer space black iron. After years of continuous refining by this ancestor, it is now only half a step away from being upgraded to the level of an innate ancient treasure."
The entire body of the Streamer Shuttle is silver-white in color. The shuttle body is slender, pointed at both ends, and slightly wider in the middle. It is engraved with fine spiritual patterns. There is a faint stream of light flowing on the shuttle body, just like a meteor across the night sky, beautiful and mysterious.
"This shuttle is not only extremely fast, it can travel through space as if it were walking on flat ground, and it also has the ability to break through restrictions and tear apart the void. It is truly a treasure for escaping and killing enemies."
"For this old ancestor, this treasure has more symbolic significance than practical use. He hopes that fellow Daoist Zhou can upgrade this item to an innate ancient treasure and fulfill the old ancestor's wish."
When Zhou Yiqiao heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He was not surprised that the difficulty of refining the first magic weapon was not high, but he was surprised that the Lin family would actually use an opportunity to fulfill the ancestor's wish.
However, his surprise did not last long, as the next magic weapon introduced by Lin Xiaotian allowed him to take back this surprise.
"This one is called 'Hunyuan Pearl'. It was made by a master refiner of my Lin family who collected a variety of rare materials such as deep-sea silver and Xuanyin stone. It took a hundred years of hard work to refine it. Now it is the quality of a mid-grade innate ancient treasure."
The appearance of the Hunyuan Pearl is dark blue, and there seems to be water flowing on the surface of the pearl. There seems to be a sea of clouds rolling inside, mysterious and unpredictable. You can vaguely see the surging water force contained in the pearl.
"This bead has its own space inside, which can absorb a huge amount of water energy. Once activated, it can cause huge waves to submerge everything. It can also be transformed into a protective bead to resist attacks from powerful enemies."
"Our Lin family hopes that Fellow Daoist Zhou can upgrade this item to the level of a top-grade innate ancient treasure!"
Promoted from a mid-grade innate ancient treasure to a top-grade innate ancient treasure!
Zhou Yiqiao is now in the early stage of refining emptiness. Even though his strength far exceeds that of the cultivators of the same level, the concentration of spiritual power in his spiritual sea can only be comparable to that of some ordinary masters in the late stage of refining emptiness.
He never expected that after offering a sweet treat, the Lin family would actually directly raise a huge problem!
"I didn't expect that Patriarch Lin was waiting for me here..."
Zhou Yiqiao smiled bitterly and shook his head, but he was not angry.
The promotion of a mid-grade innate ancient treasure was within reasonable requirements, and the Lin family was willing to bear all the expenses after the failure, so he naturally had no reason to refuse. Moreover, such a challenge was also a rare opportunity for him to improve his skills.
"How about it, Brother Zhou, are you confident?"
Lin Xiaotian looked at Zhou Yiqiao with a smile, a look of an old fox having succeeded in his eyes.
“It’s difficult, but not impossible.”
Zhou Yiqiao smiled slightly, not showing any fear at all.
"Please ask Patriarch Lin to lend Zhou the best refining room in the Lin family and arrange for several disciples who are proficient in fire magic to assist in ensuring the stability and regulation of the fire during the refining process."
"In addition, we need to prepare a large amount of spirit stones and fire spirit crystals to replenish mana and maintain the formation."
"The Toad Light Treasure Refining Technique is very important, we need to ensure that everything is foolproof."
Hearing this, Lin Xiaotian smiled even more, obviously satisfied with Zhou Yiqiao's confidence and preparation.
He waved his hand and said with great pride:
"Don't worry, Brother Zhou. The Lin family will do their best to cooperate."
"The refining room will be ready immediately. You can choose any disciple in the clan who is proficient in fire magic. Spiritual stones and crystals are also available."
