?Chapter 835: Chapter 372: Reforging the Astonishing Flood Furnace_2 Chapter 835: Chapter 372: Reforging the Astonishing Flood Furnace_2 Seeing what happened, Lin Jing also went straight inside.
After both had entered the Teleportation Array, Senior Han activated the Array Plate once more.
The plate lit up, and the Teleportation Array started to emit a white light.
?????.??
The white light soon engulfed Lin Jing and Senior Han.
Then, the next moment…
The Formation activated, and Lin Jing and Senior Han disappeared within it.
After both were teleported away, the light from the Formation gradually dimmed, and then the entire Formation vanished and hid itself.
…
The place to which Lin Jing had been teleported resembled the Fire Realm of the Five Elements.
The temperature here was incredibly high.
Besides the black rocks, the ground was densely packed with caves.
Inside these caves flowed red magma, emanating scorching vapors.
Upon arriving, Lin Jing immediately spotted a cluster of buildings situated at the center of a fiery volcano’s crater.
Looking at the buildings ahead, Lin Jing then asked,
“Is that Xian Duan Manor?”
Senior Han nodded and said,
“Yes, that is Xian Duan Manor.”
“My master and my fellow disciples, we’ve all been living here.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Jing nodded and then looked around at the surrounding environment before speaking again:
“You must be here because of the ground flame, I suppose.
I’ve heard that many Artifact Refiners choose places with ground flames.”
Senior Han nodded:
“Exactly…”
“The master decided to establish Xian Duan Manor here because of the ground flame.”
“Come on, the master is waiting for us.”
Lin Jing nodded and then proceeded with Senior Han towards the volcano ahead.
Upon reaching the mountain’s summit, Senior Han led the way, bringing Lin Jing to meet the elder of the Xian Duan.
Upon seeing Lin Jing, the elder immediately said,
“You’ve arrived…”
“I’ve found a method to repair your Pill Furnace.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Jing’s eyes shone with delight.
However.
Before Lin Jing could even speak, the elder interjected:
“I haven’t finished yet, don’t get excited just yet.”
Startled, Lin Jing then responded,
“Senior, please continue…”
The elder continued:
“Your Lin Family’s famed furnace was originally an Innate Daoist Treasure.
However, after it shattered during a mishap, its innate properties also vanished.”
“Initially, I had thought about completely restoring it, considering the Pill Furnace was crafted from innate materials.
If it were merely fixed, causing its rank to fall, it would be a pity to reduce it to a mere Daoist Treasure.”
“Yet, after long research, I realized that no matter which method I tried, I couldn’t completely restore it.”
Lin Jing, momentarily stunned, then said to the elder:
“When I was at the Changyun Clan, Senior Changyun had told me that if an Innate Daoist Treasure were damaged, it’s impossible to restore its innate properties.”
“Senior, if it is really impossible to fully restore it, fixing it into a Daoist treasure even as a Pill Furnace is acceptable too.”
Upon hearing this, the elder glanced at Lin Jing and couldn’t help but scold,
“Changyun Hong is right indeed.”
“From what we knew, once the innate properties of innate materials are destroyed, even if they can be repaired, they end up as ordinary Daoist Treasures.”
“But who am I…”
“If I were to simply turn your Lin Family’s treasure into an ordinary Daoist Treasure, I wouldn’t have invested so much effort.”
“The reason I chose to help you isn’t entirely because of my disciple Han Jing.
Another reason is that your damaged Innate Daoist Treasure Pill Furnace is truly a rarity of ten thousand years.”
“Only by restoring this Innate Daoist Treasure Pill Furnace to its original state can I find it challenging and intriguing.”
“Otherwise, I wouldn’t have agreed to repair the furnace.”
Lin Jing gave an embarrassed smile and said,
“So that’s the case…”
“Then, Senior, you mentioned earlier that you have already found a way to repair it, doesn’t that mean the Pill Furnace can be repaired, and even after repair, it still remains an Innate Daoist Treasure?”
The elder nodded and said,
“Yes, but also maybe not…”
The words of the Xian Duan elder left Lin Jing utterly bewildered.
However, the Xian Duan elder soon provided an explanation:
“I indeed have found a method that could help you repair the Jinghong Furnace, and even grant it innate characteristics.”
“However, after the repair, the innate characteristics of the Pill Furnace will no longer aid in alchemy, but will instead enhance your combat power.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Jing was completely dumbfounded:
The Pill Furnace, enhancing combat power…
What was going on?
Could it be that the Xian Duan elder was planning to make one wield the Pill Furnace in battle?
Indeed.
There were indeed people who used cauldrons, or furnaces, as Magical Treasures.
But such Magical Treasures were used against enemies, and were absolutely not suitable for alchemy.
Moreover, since Pill Furnaces crucial for alchemy were extremely precious, if one were to use them in a fight and they were knocked or bumped, there would surely be an impact on the alchemy.
Therefore, no one would use a Pill Furnace to fight against others.
From the words of the Xian Duan elder, it seemed he was indeed planning to do just that.
The Xian Duan elder, as if seeing through Lin Jing’s thoughts, then spoke directly:
“Do you think that just because it’s a Pill Furnace, it can’t be used as a Magical Treasure?”
Lin Jing was quite straightforward and did not hide his thoughts, voicing his concerns:
“Senior…”
“Using the Pill Furnace as a Magical Treasure, wouldn’t that be somewhat inappropriate?”
“After all, the Pill Furnace is not a real Magical Treasure, and even if it truly were used against an enemy, it would surely be inferior in power.”
“Even if it could match an ordinary Magical Treasure in power, the Pill Furnace is naturally for alchemy, and if it gets damaged during battle, wouldn’t that also affect the alchemy?”
The Xian Duan elder heard this, snorted coldly, and then rebuked:
“Hmph…”
“Such ignorance.”
“The reason you think this way is simply because you have not heard about it, and your thoughts and ideas are constrained by your superficial knowledge.”
“Long before the Ancient Era, people had already begun to attempt this, it’s just that you were unaware.”
“And after the Ancient Era, the reason nobody does this is due to the difficulty in finding a material suitable both as a Magical Treasure and as a Pill Furnace for artifact refining.”
“Even if one were fortunate enough to find such rare materials, others wouldn’t possibly use them for experimentation, to craft a special Magical Treasure that could also serve as a Pill Furnace.”
“Since I have this idea, I have surely considered everything, and there certainly won’t be the various problems you are worrying about.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Jing immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
Indeed.
In Lin Jing’s understanding, a Pill Furnace was just a Pill Furnace, and a Magical Treasure was just a Magical Treasure.
The two could absolutely not be discussed as if they were the same thing.
Yet unexpectedly, the words of the Xian Duan elder today had given Lin Jing a sudden epiphany.
Then, Lin Jing clasped his hands together and said to the Xian Duan elder:
“Thank you, senior, for enlightening me, I understand now.”
After speaking, Lin Jing continued to ask:
“May I know how you plan to proceed, senior?”
The Xian Duan elder looked at Lin Jing and then said:
“This time, instead of repairing the Pill Furnace, I plan to give up on repair and directly recast the Pill Furnace.”
“The innate materials used in the creation of your Lin Family’s Jinghong Furnace were quite extraordinary.”
“So, during recasting, I intend to continue using the Jinghong Furnace as the primary base, and then add in some other rare materials to recast this Jinghong Furnace.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Jing first remained silent for a moment, then spoke:
“Senior…”
“Since we are recasting the Pill Furnace, the materials required must also be quite extraordinary.”
The Xian Duan elder nodded and said:
“Indeed…”
“The Jinghong Furnace itself is an Innate Daoist Treasure, and to recast it into a new Innate Daoist Treasure, the materials needed are of course extraordinary.”
“Especially considering the three most important materials: Heavenly Sun Soul Crystal, Earth Spirit Azure Gold Jade, and Void Celestial Thunder Stone—these three rare materials.”
“These materials are exceedingly rare, and to find them all will probably take quite some time…”
