Chapter 1569

In treasure yellow heaven, Black Heaven Temple’s Gu Immortal Zhang Ji offers a large lump of transparent fire that draws many Gu Immortals with its vast treasure light. He got a batch of this rare rank seven immortal material from an expedition, and his price is only a slight bit above the norm. One divine sense says it wants all of it and pays a huge amount of immortal essence stones, and Zhang Ji, somewhat disbelieving, agrees at once. The watching Gu Immortals are somewhat caught off-guard. Zhang Ji then brings out a smaller second lump and raises the price, yet few buyers give up. ^{ch. 1569}

The first buyer is Fang Yuan, who looks with delight at the lump of floating life fire in his sovereign immortal aperture. This fire burns silently without heat, yet replays the past of any living being it burns. Zhang Ji lacks the special methods the fire needs for preservation. Fang Yuan preserves it at once with a method from Lang Ya true inheritance, not from Spectral Soul’s. He had expected to travel far and seize it from others, and he calls this luck truly amazing. He buys first and cheaply, since Gu Immortal wills usually cannot decide and few can pay so many stones at once. Zhang Ji belongs to Heavenly Court but does not know the buyer, and treasure yellow heaven transactions are very secure. ^{ch. 1569}

Drinking blade wine, edge Gu, front-back divine obstruction needles, and floating life fire, the four main immortal materials, are now gathered. Fang Yuan must still buy more edge Gu, which treasure yellow heaven can completely satisfy, with a channel in Western Desert’s Xiao clan as backup. He hurries back to Lang Ya blessed land, and his early return makes Lang Ya land spirit extremely happy. The land spirit will prepare the refinement, since the pressure from Heavenly Court is really too huge. Fang Yuan thanks first supreme elder and the Gu Immortals of the three other races for lending immortal essence stones. The land spirit answers that the alliance agreement puts them all in one boat. ^{ch. 1569}

Fang Yuan hands the four materials to Lang Ya Sect for processing. The work takes at least fifteen days even with every hairy man Gu Immortal at full effort, the steps being extremely tedious. His recipe holds the crucial refinement procedures to three, while the over ten thousand other steps mostly process materials. He spends most of his effort perfecting that processing, since Gu Immortals can control it but not the dao mark collisions in the crucial steps. With Lang Ya Sect’s refining abilities, the recipe reaches an incredibly high fifty percent success rate. ^{ch. 1569}

The absolute majority of Gu Immortals would be happy with one percent, and even Fang Yuan is in slight disbelief. He credits the rate mainly to his refinement path quasi-supreme grandmaster attainment, a level only three people in history have surpassed. The other two reasons are Lang Ya Sect’s all-out help as the number one refinement force and the powerful luck from Giant Sun’s true inheritance. Extremely moved, he feels free of the curse of refining Immortal Gu. He expects the rate to rise once he makes up his foundational skills and leads the refinement himself, though he regrets lacking time. ^{ch. 1569}
