Gate of Immortality

Chapter 261: Startled Elder Cheng

Yang Shi's Spirit Flame bloomed as the materials melted rapidly. Yang Shi has become so much proficient in forging that he was doing it in a natural rhythm.

  He used his hammer as the metal lump slowly took the shape of a cauldron. The metal billet was devoid of any impurity, so the quality of the medicinal cauldron was very good.

" Now, Time to inscribe the Flowing Water River Diagram." Yang Shi put down his hammer as he started the inscription.

The Flowing Water River Diagram carries great importance to an alchemist. With such a diagram on the cauldron, the chances of failure during pill refinement decrease considerably. 

Moreover, the flow of spiritual qi inside the cauldron will be much smoother.

But of course, not all blacksmiths could make Flowing Water River Cauldron. Along with forging, they need to spend time researching the diagrams, which is very complex.

But with the memory and comprehension of the Samsara Emperor, Yang Shi understood all sorts of Spirit diagrams and rune formations. Yang Shi can easily craft treasures with various spirit diagrams.

Yang Shi was already experienced with the inscription of Spirit Diagrams. Now, he does not even use his Celestial View while inscribing the spirit diagram.

For Yang Shi, Metal qi was something he was most familiar with. With his Gold Devil Seal, the cauldron's exterior was decorated easily.

Yang Shi finished making the Flowing Water River Diagram after two hours. He looked at the finished product with satisfied eyes.

The cauldron looked beautiful with the designs outside. Because of the Flowing Water River Diagram, the cauldron's interior had a shine of blue light. This cauldron was perfect for alchemists with the Water attribute.

Yang Shi took out a seal as he stamped it in the bottom of the cauldron. Yang Shi specially designed the seal as his signature. It looked like an insignia with a hammer and seven stars revolving around it.

" Well, I hope Elder Cheng would like it." Yang Shi checked the cauldron as he went to practice his inscription.

Yang Shi felt that, with his increased soul qi, he can make seven Rank one talismans in a day. Yang Shi was also practicing making other talismans besides the Fireball Talisman.

" This is Earth Shield Talisman and Water Arrow Talisman. Although they are all rank one talismans, it can help me to boost my experience." Yang Shi pondered.

These talismans are useless for him, but for low grade cultivators, these are treasures. Yang Shi decided to give some of them to Wen Ran.

" Unfortunately, My soul strength isn't enough for rank two talismans." Yang Shi sighed as he put down his brush.

Yang Shi wasn't dispirited. Since he already found ways to recover back his soul strength, Yang Shi was only worried about his foundation root.

" I have already solved the problem of soul strength, however my foundation roots" Yang Shi's expression turned a bit ugly as he thought about it.

Although his Internal Energy had suppressed the evil black thing in his palace roots, without removing it, Yang Shi can't break through to Violet Palace Expansion Realm.

" I think I should focus on my body refinement and soul cultivation." Yang Shi sighed as he got up. He took out some Perception Stones as he absorbed the soul qi from them.

Soon, Yang Shi reached the third layer of the Myriad Soul Controlling Technique. Yang Shi felt his soul tremble as the soul qi revolved around his soul. The soul qi became another shade clearer.

"Yang Shi exhaled a mouthful of turbid air as he looked around. He closed his eyes as he used his divine sense. Even in darkness, he could feel the things around him, more clearly in fact.

5 meters, 10 meters, 50 meters, yang Shi's divine sense spread like a wave. Yang Shi smiled as he opened his eyes.

Divine sense is like a sixth sense of cultivator. Not only does it allow perceiving the things around them more clearly, but it also helps them to comprehend the essence of nature.

Even without looking, nothing in the radius of 50 meters can escape Yang Shi's perception. That's why low level stealth techniques are useless in front of Violet Palace Expansion Realm experts.

" With a little more, I will finally be able to split my soul to create a subsidiary soul." Yang Shi pondered. Since there was enough time, Yang Shi melted his ready made billets and poured them into the weapon molds.

The molten metal took shape of the mold as Yang Shi rapidly drew Spirit Diagram over them. Yang Shi wasn't using any special Spirit Diagram, so casting Spirit Diagrams on them was very easy.

Yang Shi could work on three to five weapons at a single time, and each of them was high tier Spirit grade weapons.

Yang Shi made around thirty weapons in a single night. After he felt exhausted, he went back to sleep. Another day had passed peacefully.

Yang Shi had given two spirit stones to Bai Ruxue. Her cultivation speed was something even Yang Shi became astonished at. She already reached the peak of seventh stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm, just a step away from the Eighth stage.

" I should try to awake her soul before she reaches Violet Palace Expansion Realm. It will increase her potential to another level." Yang Shi pondered.

For others, awakening the soul before Violet Palace Expansion Realm is impossible, but not for Yang Shi. Moreover, since he can use his divine sense now, he has more confidence.

Yang Shi went to his shop as he saw Elder Cheng was already sitting there. Yang Shi was slightly surprised as Elder Cheng was much early.

" Haha, It seems Elder Cheng is impatient." Yang Shi chuckled as he sat in front of Elder Cheng.

" Not really. I just want to see if you already made the medicinal cauldron." Elder Cheng nodded.

Elder Cheng just came to check because he was currently free. He really didn't believe that Yang Shi could have finished forging the cauldron. After all, taking a week for it is no big deal.

  " Elder Cheng, please appraise this." Yang Shi waved his hands as a large cauldron appeared from his spatial ring.

Elder Cheng's eyes widened as he touched the cauldron. He checked it carefully as his brows raised.

" Flowing Water River Diagram, a layer of North Bronze Essence, Quasi True grade medicinal cauldron. Hahaha!" Elder Cheng couldn't help but laugh loudly.

" This cauldron is truly best for my disciple. To think you forged such a cauldron in three days. Here is your payment." Elder Cheng took out a small pouch and gave it to Yang Shi.

Yang Shi saw there are five spirit stones, along with a golden badge.

" This badge is from True Alchemy Hall. When you show this badge in True Alchemy Hall, you will get a twenty percent discount on your purchase there." Elder Cheng explained.

" Oh, Thanks for it, Elder Cheng." Yang Shi nodded.

" Errm, This is also for you." Elder Cheng's gaze turned odd as he handed a porcelain bottle to Yang Shi. " Yang Shi, Do you know Elder Lu?"

" Eh, I don't." 

Yang Shi was startled as he shook his head. But he realized what was inside the bottle, It was Soul Nourishing Pills.

" Eh, Master Bao is sure efficient." Yang Shi chuckled inwardly.

" Strange." Elder Cheng mumbled as he left. His mood was very good as he acquired the medicinal cauldron.

" Such a young blacksmith is rare. I should help him a little more." Elder Cheng thought.

Yang Shi was excited as he looked at the bottle of Soul Nourishing Pills. He checked and saw five of them were low grade and one pill was the medium grade.

" Well, Better than nothing." Yang Shi shrugged.

People already started coming to his store, especially those who already placed orders the day before.

" Aright peoples. Your orders are ready!"
