Infinite Comprehension by Taking In Disciples: Martial Uncle, Please Ascend!

Kong Lianqing came over. “The method for refining the Soul Extinguishing Needle, do you want to refine it yourself?”

Li Cheng looked at the introduction and nodded. “An inferior Soul Extinguishing Needle can annihilate a Heaven God; a medium-grade one can annihilate a True God in the later stage; a superior can annihilate a True God at completion; and a top-notch one can even kill a mid-stage Divine Monarch. This is truly a good item!”

The Soul Extinguishing Needles Kong Lianqing had exchanged for before were obviously of inferior quality.

Seeing the look of anticipation on Li Cheng’s face, Kong Lianqing shook her head, “I’ve heard that the Soul Extinguishing Needle is very difficult to successfully refine. Managing to refine an inferior grade is already good; a medium grade is nearly impossible, not to mention the superior or top-notch.”

Behind the counter, the old man nodded in agreement, “Nearly all Artifact Refining Divine Masters who attempt to refine the Soul Extinguishing Needle end up at a loss. It’s better to directly exchange.”

That being said, the Demon-suppressing Department didn’t have any medium-grade Soul Extinguishing Needles.

Perhaps, as they had said, the medium grade was almost impossible to refine.

However, what gave Li Cheng a headache was that the method for refinement wasn’t cheap; it required thirty thousand points!

After a moment’s contemplation, Li Cheng looked towards Kong Lianqing, “Miss Kong, how about I ask you to…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Kong Lianqing interrupted him, “Mentioning ‘please’ makes us strangers. You and I are friends who have shared life and death together.”

“Senior, I appreciate your effort!” Kong Lianqing took out the Demon Suppression Order.

The old man chuckled, deducted thirty thousand points from Kong Lianqing’s token, and handed over the method for refining the Soul Extinguishing Needle.

Li Cheng examined it closely, committed it to memory, and then began to deduce it in secret.

A moment later, Li Cheng frowned, “Something is amiss, it seems there is an error in this method.”

Upon hearing this, the old man’s eyes lit up. “What do you mean?”

Kong Lianqing raised an eyebrow, almost imperceptibly, “You noticed a problem just from one look? But this is a method passed down by the Demon-suppressing Department; shouldn’t it be error-free?”

Li Cheng pondered, “Indeed there is an issue that can be further perfected, but I would need to refine it once or twice to know.”

The old man’s eyes brimmed with anticipation, “If you could improve it and enhance the success rate, then the improved method can be handed over to the Demon-suppressing Department to earn points.”

“How many points you can earn depends on the improvements you make.”

“Oh? That sounds good.”

The Soul Extinguishing Needle may be a one-time divine artifact, but if the success rate and quality could be raised, it would undoubtedly be a major weapon!

The might of a top-notch Soul Extinguishing Needle, which can even threaten a mid-stage Divine Monarch, is self-evident.

Of course, the prerequisite is hitting the target. How could a Heaven God’s cultivation confront a Divine Monarch and possibly make a hit?

Li Cheng decided then and there to first refine some Soul Extinguishing Needles!

The Demon-suppressing Department also had materials for refining Soul Extinguishing Needles, but they required points to exchange. Naturally, Li Cheng was reluctant to spend points carelessly. Even if it was more expensive, it was better to buy from the guild.

“If Miss Kong isn’t in a hurry to complete a mission, why not wait for me a few days? By then, I might be able to refine higher-grade Soul Extinguishing Needles.”

A sense of curiosity arose in Kong Lianqing’s heart, and she nodded slightly, “Do you need me to help purchase materials? I’m familiar with the guild side.”

“No need, I will take a trip there, and then I will refine them in the guild’s secret chamber.”

After bidding farewell to Kong Lianqing, Li Cheng headed straight for the guild.

It was the same Mysterious Character 72nd Box as last time. Li Cheng picked out materials for refining the Soul Extinguishing Needle; a set of materials was only fifty thousand Divine Stones, but with the status of a Demon-suppressing Envoy, he only needed to pay forty thousand.

A lower-grade Soul Extinguishing Needle, however, fetched a purchase price of three hundred thousand in the guild.

Of course, if these items were refined, it’s doubtful anyone would be willing to sell them, as it’s more suitable to keep them for self-defense.

The ones sold by the guild and the Demon-suppressing Department were probably refined by their internal members.

“Deacon Zhao, please provide me with a hundred sets.”

With these hundred sets, Li Cheng believed he could find the optimal plan for improvement.

Armed with a hundred sets of materials, Li Cheng decided to use the state of Enlightenment for refinement, as this would allow him to perfect it in a very short time.

Otherwise, it would definitely take a long time.

Li Cheng was not someone willing to waste time.

After he was prepared, Li Cheng began the refining process, “Enlightenment!”

Half an hour passed, and Li Cheng emerged from the state of Enlightenment. Looking at the medium-grade Soul Extinguishing Needle in his hand, a sharp light flickered in his eyes, “Just as I thought!”

The ingredients for a set of Soul Extinguishing Needles included twelve types, and the Demon-suppressing Department’s method had no issues with the extraction and ordering of each material. The problem was using too much of the main material!

The Soul Extinguishing Needle is considered a standard artifact, refined from fixed materials in a fixed sequence, very much like Alchemy.

When too much of the main material is used, it causes a destruction of compatibility. Managing to refine an inferior grade is already good; how could higher grades possibly be refined?

“While in the state of Enlightenment, I refined and deduced simultaneously, and the result is the main material, the Soul Stone, should be reduced by two-thirds; let’s give it a try!”

Using the remaining ninety-nine sets of materials, Li Cheng planned to keep one third of the main material, and refine batches in one breath.

This time, it only took a short hour, and ninety-nine Soul Extinguishing Needles were refined.

“All are medium-grade; to refine superior and top-notch, one’s cultivation must advance further.”

Medium-grade Soul Extinguishing Needles were already capable of annihilating late-stage True God realm powerhouses. Against peak or complete True Gods, they could likely just cause their Divine Souls brief pain.

But there was no other choice, as his current cultivation limited Li Cheng from refining superior grade.

“I’ll refine some more; with good luck, a superior grade might appear.”

[Detection of a disciple meeting the requirements is approaching. Accepting them as a disciple will grant a reward.]

Just as he stepped out of the secret chamber, the notification sounded in his mind.

In these days, Li Cheng, following the idea of letting things take their own course, hadn’t used the system’s detection feature. Unexpectedly, a potential disciple was coming to him!

“Demon-suppressing Envoy Li, whatever you’ve refined, the guild is willing to purchase,” Deacon Zhao said with a chuckle, seeing Li Cheng come out.
