I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2502 - 1121: Purple Cloud Heavenly Palace

After discovering the situation, Zhang Pankong, Chen Mobai's close companion, proposed a clever solution.

Within the Tianhe Realm, the nominal status of Rank-5 in the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation remains incredibly valuable. Assisting in the refining process here poses no danger. Regardless of whether it succeeds or fails, participants can always reap some rewards.

Naturally, a Rank-5 Artifact Refiner demands higher fees for forging magical artifacts.

As a result, numerous cultivators lingering at the peak of Fourth Rank are eager to pay premium prices for such opportunities.

According to Tianhe Realm's customs, when borrowing a professional rank, one must provide a treasure matching that level.

For instance, if Chen Mobai were forging a Fifth Rank Artifact, those joining as fire starters would need to contribute at least a chunk of Rank-5 ore.

"Should the Palace Master agree to mediate, it would surely involve someone from the Central State Holy Land. The Tianhe Realm's most treasured resources reside there. Let me help you identify the person. Once they arrive via our Taixu MiaoMiao Palace’s Intercontinental Transmission Array, I'll notify you promptly. Perhaps you'll effortlessly acquire those long-sought materials."

Chen Mobai had always upheld a principled demeanor, avoiding any exploitation of others' titles for personal gain, so he remained unaware of these practices. Upon Zhang Pankong's explanation, understanding dawned on him, bringing a touch of awkwardness: "This... may not seem quite right, as it involves seeking a favor from the Azure Fall Palace Master..."

"Don't worry, you won't need to intervene personally. I'll take care of everything. If they fail to provide anything, it would violate propriety and show disrespect. It would also place the introducing Palace Master in an awkward spot."

As the Primordial Void Dao Child from the East Continent, Zhang Pankong often journeyed across Tianhe's Five Continents, making him well-versed in these affairs. Over time, having savored plenty of Chen Mobai's Enlightenment Tea, he willingly shouldered this task.

This prompted Chen Mobai to recall how the Five Elements Sect had been gathering materials for the Douluo Eight Scenic Lantern in his name, aiming for Fifth Rank Peak or even Sixth Rank items, yet achieving no results. Such high-level spirit materials are closely guarded treasures of major powers, only unveiled in exceptional cases.

Should the sect learn of it, they might swoop in to claim them outright.

Though Chen Mobai enjoys a solid reputation, local cultivators remain exceedingly wary.

However, trading these spirit materials for the prestige of a Fifth Rank Artifact Refiner title could draw interest from Nascent Soul cultivators.

Once Zhang Pankong departed, Chen Mobai promptly directed Yi Yuan Dao Palace to subtly disclose his intention to forge a Fifth Rank Magic Artifact in the East Land.

He emphasized that the leak should appear accidental.

Before long, inquiries began to arrive.

Even though Chen Mobai didn't know the visitors, word reached him about Jing Chi Shangren from the Chi Yan Sect in the Burning Heaven Meridians—a Fourth Rank Artifact Refiner stalled for centuries, yearning to uncover the depths of Fifth Rank refining techniques.

Across the East Continent, the handful of Fifth Rank Artifact Refiners in the last thousand years all hailed from Holy Lands.

They showed little interest in training their own sect's talents, and their expertise proved inconsistent.

Furthermore, during Fifth Rank Artifact forging, they stuck to their specialties. Take Shang Congyan of the Nine Heavens Morality Sect, who succeeded in creating just two Fifth Rank Lower Grade Flying Swords after dozens of attempts at higher ones.

The sole success of Yi Yuan Dao Palace's Great Elder Wu Ming in crafting a Fifth Rank Artifact occurred in a profoundly enigmatic state, impossible to replicate afterward.

Chen Mobai had earned fame in the East Continent as an Artifact Refiner for ages, and following his Spirit Transformation Stage breakthrough, he gained official acclaim as the area's premier one.

In recent times, every magical artifact he produced at the Xiao Nanshan Shop in East Land, regardless of its starting bid, sold out instantly to eager cultivators lined up inside.

One such piece, a Fourth Rank Taoist Robe, ended up with Jing Chi Shangren.

The East Continent also boasts Fen Tianjing Di, famed for artifact refining, and the Chi Yan Sect inherited much of its knowledge from the Holy Lands, positioning Jing Chi Shangren's abilities among the continent's elite—on par with Shang Congyan, whose Fifth Rank skills stemmed from Holy Land training.

Yet, upon examining Chen Mobai's replica of the Pure Yang Spell Robe, the Red Flame Robe, Jing Chi Shangren experienced a sensation akin to beholding a heavenly script, an aura of profound enigma.

This Fourth Rank Taoist Robe, from techniques to material integration and stitching, and even its restrictions and formations, left the Fourth Rank Peak Artifact Refiner in awe; he could only identify the components used.

But knowing the materials deepened Jing Chi Shangren's conviction that Chen Mobai's refining craft ranked among the greatest in East Continent history.

The Red Flame Robe utilized Rank-3 Superior Grade pelts, yet through Chen Mobai's expert handling, it emerged as a Fourth Rank artifact.

Other East Continent Fifth Rank Artifact Refiners offered only surface-level prowess.

Only the Turtle Immortal True Monarch stood as authentic.

He could very well be not merely the East Continent's finest, but the Tianhe Realm's supreme Artifact Refiner.

Awakening to this, Jing Chi Shangren learned through chance that Yi Yuan Immortal City was amassing stitching materials for Taoist Robes more often. He dispatched disciples to probe, and via covert means, discovered Chen Mobai's plans to refine a Fifth Rank Magic Artifact, with spots opened at Yi Yuan Dao Palace for fire children roles.

This news left Jing Chi Shangren unable to stay still.

He knew Divinity Transformation lay beyond his reach in this life, with his burning passion fixed solely on ascending to Fifth Rank Artifact Refiner and peering into its arcane secrets.
