Chapter 354: Wan Yao Sect

Little Struggle Peak.

Within Cave Abode Number 281.

Ning Zhuo held a small hammer, striking the White-Faced Adamantite repeatedly.

This metal material was exceptionally tough, its surface appearing white under the illumination of light.

As Ning Zhuo hammered, he simultaneously employed the refining incantation, his magical power continuously permeating the metal, causing the White-Faced Adamantite to become slightly softer, making it easier to hammer and shape.

After the hammering was complete, Ning Zhuo manipulated his divine sense, and three to five mechanical floating hands extended their palms, aiming the center of their palms at the White-Faced Adamantite.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Five streams of flame sprayed onto the White-Faced Adamantite, turning it red and softening it rapidly.

Runes, as small as fingernails, flickered with silver-grey light, appearing and disappearing within the White-Faced Adamantite.

Ning Zhuo channeled his magical power, imprinting a scripture into the White-Faced Adamantite, successfully transforming it into a restriction.

He then activated the Floating Ice White Jade Hand.

The White Jade Hand mechanism slowly flew above the White-Faced Adamantite. The other five mechanical floating hands ceased their fiery spray and retreated in unison to the sides.

The slender fingers of the Floating Ice White Jade Hand formed incantation gestures, emitting wisps of icy mist.

The mist was exceptionally fine, causing the White-Faced Adamantite to cool down gradually.

If ordinary cooling methods were used, the White-Faced Adamantite would rapidly crack on its surface upon being suddenly immersed in cold water, forming countless fissures. If this were to happen, it would have to be remelted and refined.

The White-Faced Adamantite cooled down completely, floating in mid-air in a flat, rectangular shape.

Ning Zhuo retrieved the Tea Copper.

Three mechanical floating hands flew over, emitting an invisible lifting force that held the Tea Copper suspended in mid-air.

Following this, the palms of the mechanical floating hands again erupted with flames, scorching the Tea Copper.

The Tea Copper slowly melted, transforming into a puddle of copper liquid.

Ning Zhuo employed the refining art, removing impurities from the copper liquid and purifying the copper.

Having completed this step, he used his spiritual sense to directly shape the copper liquid.

He gradually molded the Tea Copper liquid into a straight line.

Before the Tea Copper had completely cooled, Ning Zhuo immediately retrieved the previous White-Faced Adamantite and wrapped the Tea Copper around it, forming a continuous loop.

Finally, he continued to perform the incantation, covering the Tea Copper with a restriction.

"Another Adamantite Mirror." After inspecting it, Ning Zhuo satisfiedly placed it into his storage belt.

The refining incantation for the Adamantite Mirror came from the Dharma Imparting Bell, specifically the Mirror Platform Divine Clarity Art from the Foundation Establishment stage of the Three Sects' exalted masters.

The cultivation of the Mirror Platform Divine Clarity Art required external assistance. The specific contents included the methods for crafting eight types of mirror-based magical artifacts. The Adamantite Mirror was precisely one of them.

When he was in Fog Hidden Mountain, Ning Zhuo had competed with Sun Lingtong in divine sense and had lost.

The gap between them was still significant.

Ning Zhuo had also told Sun Lingtong the truth – he needed mechanical creations to assist him in order to unleash the power of the Mirror Platform Divine Clarity Art and greatly expand the range of his divine sense.

During the Fog Hidden Mountain stage, besides running around, Ning Zhuo had been pondering the methods for refining these magical mirrors.

After contemplating, he discovered that the refining technique for the Adamantite Mirror was relatively simple, with straightforward steps, and the materials required were the easiest to acquire.

Therefore, after arriving at Little Struggle Peak, when he had time, he began refining the Adamantite Mirror.

This was already the third Adamantite Mirror he had successfully refined.

"The Adamantite Mirror is fine, there are no strict requirements for the refining environment. But for the subsequent mirrors, relying solely on refining by hand won't be sufficient."

Ning Zhuo needed a refining furnace.

Although the refining cabin in the Myriad Miles Roaming Dragon could be used, it consumed too much and was a complete waste of talent.

Ning Zhuo also did not want to rent external refining rooms.

He felt uneasy in unfamiliar places.

Don't think that Myriad Medicine Sect is a large sect with good moral conduct, but it is composed of people.

Since it's people, they all adhere to human nature.

Disciples holding positions were actually the easiest to bully external cultivators like Ning Zhuo.

This could be seen from the disciples responsible for arranging cave abodes. They were always merciless in accepting bribes.

This itself was a form of oppression from the local potentates!

External refining rooms might leak refining content.

In the Molten Rock Immortal Palace, although the Dharma Imparting Bell resounded throughout, only Ning Zhuo obtained the Foundation Establishment level techniques of the Three Sects.

Before Meng Kui deciphered the Dharma Imparting Bell, only Ning Zhuo had mastered these cultivation methods. Therefore, he would try his best to keep them secret!

Ning Zhuo did not indulge in refining.

After the refining came to a temporary halt, he began his daily cultivation.

The three cultivation methods of the Three Sects – Buddhism, Daoism, and Demonic Cultivation – alternated continuously, allowing Ning Zhuo's cultivation to steadily advance.

Currently, Ning Zhuo's cultivation speed was still considerable.

On the one hand, he had talent and good comprehension. On the other hand, he never hesitated to invest resources in his cultivation.

Even in the cave abode, Ning Zhuo would add many additional spirit stones to help maintain the concentration of spiritual energy during his cultivation.

When Ning Zhuo was halfway through his cultivation, the mechanical flying bird suddenly began to chirp.

Knowing that the time had come, Ning Zhuo opened a gap in the cave abode formation to let Sun Lingtong in.

In the past few days since entering the cave, Sun Lingtong had gone out every day, either in stealth or in disguise, continuously gathering information from various places.

Since this information was personally collected, it was much more detailed and trustworthy than purchased information.

It was precisely this kind of information that allowed Ning and Sun to gain a deeper understanding of Myriad Medicine Valley in the past few days.

Myriad Medicine Valley was surrounded by mountains on all sides, with a valley in the center.

The four mountains were Medicine Field Mountain, Little Struggle Peak, Great Struggle Peak, and Original Mountain.

Medicine Field Mountain was almost entirely terraced fields, with different medicinal herbs planted on each level. It could be said that medicinal herbs were everywhere.

Little Struggle Peak was inhabited by a large number of external cultivators, each with their own agenda for coming here.

Great Struggle Peak had the Myriad Monster Cave, where many major battles had occurred, staining the green mountains with blood. However, there had been no monster trouble for many years now.

The last mountain, Original Mountain, was not a mountain that Myriad Medicine Valley originally had, but was moved from other places along with the relocation of Myriad Medicine Sect.

The one who moved this mountain was the mountain god of Original Mountain, who was very powerful! Through innate abilities, he reached the level of moving mountains. However, due to excessive use of power, after the relocation, the mountain god has been in a state of perennial dormancy and rarely responds to the calls of believers.

The reason why Myriad Medicine Sect relocated here at a huge cost was because Myriad Medicine Valley was uniquely blessed with abundant spiritual energy.

Beneath it, there was a wide underground river.

This underground river contained rich spiritual energy and belonged to a water-attribute spiritual vein.

The springs in Myriad Medicine Valley were also spiritual springs. The reason why Myriad Medicine Sect produced a massive amount of herbal medicine was due to the abundant irrigation from the spiritual springs.

Therefore, Original Mountain belonged to the mountain gate of Myriad Medicine Sect, with various palaces, halls, and pavilions standing in abundance, serving as the residential area for Myriad Medicine Sect cultivators.

The defense here was the most stringent.

Great Struggle Peak had the weakest defense because too many wars had occurred there; almost every inch of its soil had been soaked in the blood of demon cultivators and human cultivators. Therefore, Great Struggle Peak was an inherently dangerous place with excessive killing intent, making it unsuitable for planting medicinal herbs.

Little Struggle Peak was a place specially designated by Myriad Medicine Sect to accommodate external cultivators. These cultivators were naturally a mixed bag, each with their own schemes.

The central valley surrounded by the four mountains was Myriad Medicine Valley.

The valley floor was flat, the soil was fertile, spiritual springs were as numerous as stars and converged with each other, forming channels of spiritual springs.

Here, the Six Harmonies Longevity Formation was set up, and the most valuable and rare medicinal herbs in Myriad Medicine Sect were planted.

In comparison, the medicinal herbs on Medicine Field Mountain were mainly produced in large quantities for external sale, providing commercial goods.
