Gate of Immortality

Chapter 233: Quasi True grade Armor

" This is a rank three Golden Healing Pill. Too bad I can find only the low grade one." Yang Shi grumbled. 

"These alchemists are truly selling craps in the name of medicines."

" Hahaha." Bai Ruxue giggled when she saw the angry face of Yang Shi.

" Young master, No need for that pill. My injuries aren't that grave." She spoke slowly. She knew the worth of a rank three pill.

" Hmph! Since I have said it, you need to eat this pill." Yang Shi spoke without hesitation.

Bai Ruxue finally nodded as she ate a yellow-colored pill. She could feel a vast amount of medicinal energy gushed into her dantian as it slowly traveled in her meridians. Her wound slowly began to heal.

She sat on the bed cross legged as she revolved her Jade Yin qi to assist the medicinal power. A green halo appeared around her body, making her look like a sacred maiden. 

Suddenly, her spiritual qi erupted as Yang Shi could sense the change in Bai Ruxue's body. After an hour, she opened her eyes with joyfulness.

" Young master, I have reached the seventh stage." She spoke happily.

" Indeed. The battle with Hammer Fist and the Golden Healing Pill helped you to break your bottleneck. Your Jade Empyrean Heavenly Art is also an overbearing cultivation technique. Your breakthroughs will faster than average cultivator anyway." Yang Shi nodded as he wasn't too surprised by this.

" Hmm, I can feel my wounds are pretty much healed up. Only some scars are remaining." Bai Ruxue spoke as she checked her body.

" Heh, If it was a high grade pill, even the scars would have vanished. Too bad, This is the best I can get in Heaven Protection Guild." Yang Shi sighed.

" So, How was your first battle?" Yang Shi asked.

" I was a bit nervous in the beginning, but slowly I adjusted myself." Bai Ruxue nodded.

Hammer Fist was also at the Sixth stage of Primordial Spirit Realm, but he was rich in battle experiences. 

If Bai Ruxue didn't use her entire power and Jade Lake Sword Art, she would have been defeated by Hammer Fist.

" Underestimating you was his biggest mistake. The time he became cautious, it was too late." Yang Shi nodded. 

" But not everyone is like Hammer Fist. In the future, you will meet even more powerful and trickier enemies."

" Ruxue understands. I will practice even harder." Bai Ruxue nodded with acceptance.  She understood her shortcomings from the battle with Hammer Fist.

" Jade Fox, eh? Nice name." Yang Shi chuckled as he looked at Bai Ruxue.

Bai Ruxue blushed as she looked away.

" But, I need to tell you something about your cultivation. Jade Empyrean Heavenly Art will grant you the Nine Yin Empyrean body, but you still need to cultivate diligently. You can't advance to the fourth layer of Jade Empyrean Heavenly Technique, Am I right? Yang Shi asked.

" Indeed. After reaching the third layer and transforming my Yin Maiden Physique into Nine Yin Empyrean physique, I never saw any sign of a breakthrough to the fourth layer." Bai Ruxue was startled as she nodded hastily.

" It means your Nine Yin Empyrean Physique has reached the Initial completion stage. From now on, rather than focusing on quantity, you need to focus on quality. The third layer is one of the thresholds in the technique."

" You need to purify your Jade Yin qi and refine your body with it seven times. Only after that, you can reach the fourth stage." Yang Shi explained. 

" I can only guide you, but cultivating the technique, you need to depend on yourself."

" I understand now." Bai Ruxue sighed lightly as she nodded.

" Come, It is enough for today." Yang Shi walked as he patted Bai Ruxue's head.

" Muu, I am not a child." 

Bai Ruxue pouted as she saw the behavior of Yang Shi. Yang Shi laughed, but suddenly, his face turned serious as he looked at Bai Ruxue.

" Well Uh, I wanted to askYesterday, Did you wait for me all night"

Yang Shi coughed awkwardly as he asked.

Bai Ruxue became stunned, but her face became interesting. 

" Hmph, Does that matter now?" She snorted lightly.

" I I am really very sorry, Ruxue. I didn't realize that It was so late. I was engrossed in forging that I didn't notice the time." Yang Shi sincerely apologized to Bai Ruxue.

" Really?" Bai Ruxue raised her brows.

" Well, I can make up for it, whenever you ask." Yang Shi's smile became strange as he suddenly kissed Bai Ruxue and pressed her on the bed.

" Baddy! Young master's brain is always full of lust." Bai Ruxue pushed him aside as she said with an angry tone.

" Moreover, It's still daytime" She spoke softly.

" Hahaha." Yang Shi laughed as he hugged Bai Ruxue.

As they were walking out, Bai Ruxue noticed something.

" So this is mission board. Eh? What's this?" Bai Ruxue suddenly saw the bounty on Yang Shi.

Yang Shi was walking behind her, so he didn't notice the things fast enough.

" What happened, Ruxue?" Yang Shi asked as he saw Bai Ruxue's expression turning sour.

" It seems Young master is really enjoying playing with Flower Princess Hua." Bai Ruxue chuckled. She knew about the Flower Princess a little as she stayed in Hundred Flower Pavilion for a while.

" Uhh It's not what you think. Wait! Ruxue! Don't go" Yang Shi was explaining but Bai Ruxue turned and left quickly.

" I didn't do anything to her!" Yang Shi shouted as he ran after her.

They returned to the Mo clan manor after some time. Bai Ruxue went to practice her cultivation technique as Yang Shi again entered his forging room.

" Let's start from Quasi True grade artifact." Yang Shi's expression became serious as he lighted up the melting furnace.

He put various materials in the scorching fire, along with a small chunk of North Bronze Essence.

North Bronze Essence can be considered as a type of pixie dust. Just a little bit amount of North Bronze Essence can enhance the performance of weapons by many folds.

For example, When compared to two High tier Spirit Grade weapons of similar stats, the one with the enhancement of North Bronze Essence can easily surpass the regular high grade weapon.

" Hmm, I will just use North Bronze Essence as an enhancing item for now. As for weapon made from pure North Bronze Essence, I will see later." Yang  Shi pondered. 

A weapon made from Pure North Bronze Essence has already surpassed the ranks of Spirit grade. Only True grade weapons can be created by that.

Yang Shi used his entire power as he swung the Sky Breaking Hammer.

*DING DING DINNG DING*

At this point, Yang Shi felt the hammer was his own body part. Wielding it is the same as wielding a feather. But the power of it was enough to spread the metal billet in one go.

Yang Shi' spiritual qi moved as he quickly shaped the weapons as he drew Spirit diagrams on them. The weapon shone with radiance as Spirit diagrams are perfectly drawn.

Yang Shi saw that in three hours he had made around Four Quasi True grade weapons and Three High tier Spirit Grade weapons.

If there was any other blacksmith here, their eyes would have popped from their sockets from shock. 

Yang Shi was forging a weapon five times faster than an average blacksmith.

The more Yang Shi forged, the faster he became. Moreover, using his pure Metal qi, molding the metals became even easier.

He focused his mind as he took another thin sheet of North Bronze essence. This time, he aimed to forge a Quasi True grade armor.

" Melt!"

Yang Shi's Great Yang Solar Flame Art resolved at maximum speed the solid metals and ores liquefied instantly. Each of his hammerings made the billet even more refined and tensile.

After that, he quickly made Spirit Diagrams over it. As the Spirit Diagrams increased, Yang Shi's face turned even more serious.

" Now!" Yang Shi made the final stroke as the armor gave off a faint light.

" Hahh! Finally, a Quasi True grade armor."

Yang Shi wiped his sweats as he sat down. Even with his strength, he still felt physical and mental fatigue.

Yang Shi's creativity gave the armor a touch of emerald and gold color.

" Even someone fully uses the power of Spirit grate artifact, damaging this armor will be almost impossible." Yang Shi concluded.

" Hmm, I should sell this to Feng Xiao. That fellow wanted a good armor. Moreover, He got something interesting." Yang Shi thought.

Yang Shi took out the golden cauldron as he observed it. Since he wasn't using it, it was in its smaller appearance. Yang Shi slapped it as it returned to its larger size.

" Although it is an Earth grade cauldron, It has a fatal flaw. It's lacking an artifact spirit." Yang Shi thought.

The reason why True grade weapons are suitable for the Violet Palace Expansion Realm cultivators in the Soul qi. 

The might of True grade weapon can be only brought forth when Soul qi is used along with Spiritual qi.

Cultivators who awakened their souls use their Soul qi to nourish their True grade weapons. So, their proficiency over the True grade weapons increases by many folds.

As for Earth grade artifacts, it forms their own artifact spirit.

" Anyway, It's not like I need the artifact spirit for now. Let's start refining some elixirs." Yang Shi smiled as his Spirit flame bloomed in his palms.
