Chapter 129: Chapter 112 Five Types of Materials Chapter 129: Chapter 112 Five Types of Materials “Situ Bai stood up and patted his granddaughter’s shoulder, ‘Qingyin, you and Su Yuan communicate on your own.
Your Grandpa Yang and I will take a walk outside.’
‘Okay, Grandpa.’ Situ Qingyin obediently agreed.
Yang Yifeng heard this and also stood up, saying to Su Yuan, ‘If you have any requests, just tell Little Qingyin.
But you must remember, the materials need to be provided by us; she is only helping you with the crafting.’
Su Yuan smiled and said, ‘I understand, teacher.’
Being able to ask an Artifact Refining Master for help in custom crafting a Star Device was already quite fortunate.
The fee alone for an Artifact Refining Master’s work would almost account for one-third of the value of a Blue Star Artifact.
Yang Yifeng nodded and then left with Situ Bai.
In the vast hall, only Su Yuan and Situ Qingyin were left.
‘Qingyin Master…’
‘Just call me Qingyin.’ Situ Qingyin chuckled softly, ‘Grandpa Yang has been kind to our Situ Family.
Since you are Grandpa Yang’s student, you don’t need to be so formal with me.
Besides, being called ‘Master’ sounds too formal and serious, making me seem old.
Is that how you see me?’
Su Yuan immediately shook his head and said, ‘Teacher said you were 20 years old, but you seem even younger than me.’
After Situ Bai and Yang Yifeng left, Situ Qingyin’s demeanor seemed to become more lively.
However, since she was the one who would be crafting a Blue Star Artifact for him, Su Yuan knew he had to be on good terms with her no matter what.
Situ Qingyin smiled and then said, ‘The hardness, sharpness, and fire element enhancement you mentioned are the basic traits of a Blue Fire Element Star Device.
Red Fire Essence Gold, as a third-level main material, naturally possesses these properties.
However, relying on Red Fire Essence Gold alone is not enough to create a Blue Star Artifact.’
Of course, Su Yuan never thought that Red Fire Essence Gold alone could forge a Blue Star Artifact.
Otherwise, Blue Star Artifacts wouldn’t be so rare.
Su Yuan asked, ‘What other materials are needed?’
For second-level materials, those are relatively easy to come by; they can be purchased.
As for third-level materials…
Situ Qingyin stroked the Red Fire Essence Gold placed on the table, thought for a moment, and then said slowly, ‘To complement Red Fire Essence Gold, five types of third-level materials would be suitable: Meteor Star Sand, Phoenix Nirvana Stone, Sealing Flame Blood Jade, Earth Core Glass Stone, and Flare Silver Branch.’
Meteor Star Sand, Phoenix Nirvana Stone, Sealing Flame Blood Jade, Earth Core Glass Stone, Flare Silver Branch?
As expected of third-level materials, Su Yuan hadn’t heard of any of these five…
Situ Qingyin paced slowly in front of the table, ‘These five materials can, on the basis of the fire element enhancement of Red Fire Essence Gold, further increase the damage of fire skills.
Additionally, Star Devices made using these materials also possess unique effects.
For instance, Meteor Star Sand can inflict a bone-burning fire poison on the enemy it strikes, which is difficult to dispel.
Phoenix Nirvana Stone can not only increase fire element resistance but also absorb fire elements to repair the Star Device itself and heal the injuries of the Imperial Master using it.
As for Sealing Flame Blood Jade, Flare Silver Branch, and Earth Core Glass Stone, they each have their own unique wonders.’
‘Do these materials really possess such unique effects?’
Even though Su Yuan didn’t know much about the Path of Artifact Refining, listening to Situ Qingyin’s descriptions was an eye-opener.
‘Qingyin, you are truly knowledgeable.’ Su Yuan couldn’t help but praise her.
‘It’s nothing.
I simply like to read a lot.’ Hearing someone’s genuine admiration made Situ Qingyin feel slightly embarrassed, and she folded her hands behind her back, ‘I will write down the properties and possible locations of these five materials for you later.’
Su Yuan nodded, ‘Thank you very much.’
‘You just need to find any one of these five materials, and combined with Red Fire Essence Gold and some second-level materials, I can start crafting for you.
If you are fortunate enough to find two, I might be able to bring out the properties of both materials.
As for three or more…’
Situ Qingyin shook her head, ‘My Artifact Refining skills are limited.
Too many third-level materials would be beyond my control and could lead to crafting failure.
But if it were my grandfather, he could definitely handle it.’
Su Yuan smiled, ‘I might not even be able to find one, so two is more than enough.’
Situ Qingyin smiled and nodded; indeed, third-level materials were not easy to obtain.
Ɲοѵǥο.сο
Although she didn’t know how Su Yuan had managed to acquire this piece of Red Fire Essence Gold, generally speaking, gathering materials for a Blue Star Artifact at the Gold Level was no easy task…
‘Now, Su Yuan, please tell me the specifications and dimensions of the long knife in detail so I can record them.’
‘Sure.’
…
In a courtyard somewhere in the residence.
‘How is your health now?’ Situ Bai asked.
Yang Yifeng waved his hand dismissively, ‘I won’t be dying anytime soon.’
‘I doubt that,’ Situ Bai glared at him, ‘Your student has no Fire Star Power, yet you’re crafting a fire-element long knife for him.
I suppose you intend to pass on the Flame Sky Fire Control Technique to him?’
Yang Yifeng’s expression stiffened, having forgotten how incredibly sensitive Situ Bai’s perception of the fire element was.
Situ Bai slowly sighed, ‘If it weren’t the end, why would you pass the Flame Sky Fire Control Technique to someone else?
After all, Flame Sky Fire Control, Biluo Wind Control, Shenxiao Thunder Control… if any of the three are missing, one can’t master that top-level method of the Flame Court Sky Patrol.
Tell me honestly, how much longer do you have?’
‘Haha, I really can’t hide anything from you.’ Yang Yifeng, seeing he had been figured out, stroked his beard, ‘Don’t worry, my old bones should last for another ten years!’
‘Only ten years!…’ Situ Bai fell silent.
For most people, ten years was not a short time.
But for Yang Yifeng, ten years wasn’t long.
…
Two days later, in the large classroom of the elite class.
He Yanan stood at the front of the room, looking at the neatly sitting students below, and asked with a smile, ‘So, who wants to go first?’
‘Teacher Xiao He, I will!’ Zhang Tai patted his chest.
‘Oh?
Quite confident, aren’t we?
Go ahead then!’
Today was the day to test their breathing cultivation.
Everyone was quite excited.
In the past two months of breathing cultivation, everyone in the class had more or less opened up their second Star Nest.
Some, progressing faster, had even started developing their third Star Nest.
Seeing Zhang Tai’s nervous look, He Yanan smiled, ‘This time, I won’t use golden bullets.
Since it’s a test of your progress in opening Star Caves, I’ll use a more direct and precise method.’
Zhang Tai was taken aback and asked in confusion, ‘What method…’
He Yanan instructed, ‘Just circulate your Star Power through all your Star Caves with full force.’
‘Oh.’
Zhang Tai responded and immediately did as instructed, not overthinking it.
He Yanan took a few steps forward, sealed with one hand, and pressed on Zhang Tai’s chest.
Immediately, a dazzling golden mark entered Zhang Tai’s body.
He Yanan then stepped back.
While Zhang Tai and the students below were puzzled, they saw the golden mark, along with the Star Power flow, slowly move out from the Star Power vortex in Zhang Tai’s chest, marking his Star Power flow trajectory like a golden brush.
When the golden mark passed through a Star Cave, it deepened in color as a marker, making it clear at a glance.
Just like that, the golden mark first reached the first Star Nest, marking six Star Caves, then entered the second Star Nest, and finally flowed into the third Star Nest.
Once it marked all six Star Caves in the third Star Nest, the golden mark returned to the Star Power vortex.
‘Eighteen Star Caves!’
Without requiring He Yanan’s explanation, the entire class understood.
‘Zhang Tai is amazing; he’s already opened 18 Star Caves.
I’ve only opened 14!’
’14 is good too.
I’ve only opened 13…’
…
Being able to open up 18 Star Caves within two months showed quite a decent talent.
He Yanan smiled and patted Zhang Tai’s shoulder, ‘Well done, Zhang Tai.
Keep working hard and aim to complete the Entry-level this month!’
Receiving He Yanan’s praise, Zhang Tai grinned, ‘Hehe, thank you, Teacher Xiao He!’
‘Next, let’s continue with the next one.’
Zhang Tai quickly asked, ‘Teacher Xiao He, what about the academic points…?’
‘Although the method has changed, the academic points won’t be reduced.’ He Yanan smiled and then turned to look at the students below.
‘Opening one Star Cave gives you two academic points.
If anyone can open up 24 Star Caves to reach the Entry-level, they will receive an additional 2 academic points, making a total of 50 points.’
Hearing this reward, numerous students were delighted.
‘This way, I can earn over 20 academic points.
This is much easier than the previous test method.
I can’t guarantee I’d withstand 20 golden bullets now!’
‘Exactly, I can earn 28 academic points!’
‘But the 2 additional points for reaching the Entry-level might be too generous.
Who could possibly achieve the Entry-level in just two months?’
‘There is, Xiang Dingqian.
He might have reached Entry-level since he practiced breathing before, just not as extensively as Shang Baiyu.’
‘This is the difference in background.
While others were practicing breathing, we didn’t even know what it was.’
…
Amidst the discussions, Zhang Tai stepped down from the platform with 36 academic points, feeling very pleased.
Following that, one after another, the students in the class went up to be tested:
‘Du Tao: 17 Star Caves!’
‘Zhou Weimin: 16 Star Caves!’
‘Shi Jin: 13 Star Caves!’
‘Lu Yingying: 17 Star Caves!’
…
‘Xia Yue: 20 Star Caves!’
He Yanan nodded with a smile, ‘Xia Yue, well done.’
‘Thank you, teacher!’
Xia Yue’s lips curled up, quite satisfied with her performance.
She glanced slightly at Su Yuan sitting in the front row but noticed his expression remained unchanged, causing her to pout slightly.
She was the first one in the test to open 20 Star Caves, yet that guy didn’t seem surprised at all?
When Xia Yue returned to her seat, Lu Yingying beside her exclaimed, ‘Little Yue, you’ve already reached the fourth Star Nest!’
‘Mm…’ Xia Yue casually responded, looking at a certain someone’s back in the front row and gave a light hum.
I want to see how many Star Caves this guy has opened!
