As a defensive treasured item, the Mountain and Rivers Chart has repeatedly blocked fatal strikes for Lu Changsheng. If it can be repaired, it naturally should be.

The Soul Subduing Bell, used for guarding the soul, was also impacted by self-destruction in battle, resulting in damage and urgently needs repair.

As for the Black Emperor’s Demonic Robe, it’s been torn to shreds and has no need for repair; it’s better to forge a new Daoist Robe directly.

The Human Sovereign Cauldron, which was once the Qing Emperor’s magical treasure, can absorb the cultivation returned by the system to self-repair and does not require assistance from the Heavenly Fire Holy Land.

Lu Changsheng does not want others to know that he acquired the Qing Emperor’s magical treasure.

The Heavenly Earth Mystical Yellow Exquisite Pagoda is a Merit Treasure that can be repaired with the power of intangible merit.

The Myriad Demons Banner is not damaged, but the Demon Race Primordial Spirits inside it were all obliterated during fierce battles with two assassins, rendering the banner temporarily useless.

Lu Changsheng took some time to visit the Heavenly Fire Holy Land.

Lu Changsheng directly found Elder Wu of the Heavenly Fire Holy Land.

Elder Wu wields the Twenty-Grade Heavenly Dry Separation Fire and once helped Lu Changsheng craft a congratulatory gift for Xia Ningxue.

Ordinary artifact refiners cannot repair a magical treasure of the Mountain and Rivers Chart’s grade, but as a Refinement Grandmaster of the Heavenly Fire Holy Land, Elder Wu should possess the capability.

“Lu, what brings you here?”

After Lu Changsheng brought out the twenty-first rank refining material Taiyin Cold Jade last time, Elder Wu dared not underestimate him and personally greeted him.

“I have two seriously damaged magical treasures and wish to request Elder Wu’s assistance in repairing them.”

“Oh? What kind of treasures are they?”

Lu Changsheng summoned the Soul Subduing Bell.

“A Third Grade Taoist Instrument, capable of guarding the Three Souls and Seven Spirits, quite a remarkable magical treasure.”

Elder Wu was not surprised.

In battles at the Divine King level, it’s quite normal for a Dao Artifact to get damaged.

“And there’s this treasure as well.”

Lu Changsheng then brought out the tattered Mountain and Rivers Chart.

“Hmm?”

Elder Wu was stunned.

The clan’s treasure of the Ancient Han Family, the Mountain and Rivers Chart, was something Elder Wu had heard of, but he didn’t expect this treasured item to have been damaged in Lu Changsheng’s possession.

Lu Changsheng is merely an Eighth Grade Divine King; did he really experience such intense battles?

If the battles were that intense, how did Lu Changsheng survive?

Elder Wu suppressed his curiosity.

Having lived so long, Elder Wu knew he should not inquire too much, lest he be drawn into turmoil; he focused only on refining artifacts.

“The grade of the Mountain and Rivers Chart has surpassed that of a Dao Artifact, and its materials are of the finest quality. Given its severe damage, the cost to repair it would not be small.”

Elder Wu thoroughly examined the Mountain and Rivers Chart and assessed the damage, frowning, “The Mountain and Rivers Chart primarily uses high-grade Cloud Silk Brocade, and there are numerous damaged areas requiring a new piece of Cloud Silk Brocade.”

“Cloud Silk Brocade…”

Lu Changsheng had seen records of this refining material in ancient texts.

Cloud Silk Brocade, a twenty-first rank refining material, is not naturally occurring, but rather an exquisite fabric woven by great experts from various precious materials, imbued with spatial power.

A piece of Cloud Silk Brocade is rare.

Elder Wu was somewhat troubled.

If Cloud Silk Brocade were easy to obtain, the Mountain and Rivers Chart would not be the clan’s treasure of the Ancient Han Family.

“Besides Cloud Silk Brocade, other materials are needed, as well as restructuring its internal space. However, overall, Cloud Silk Brocade is the most essential. We, at the Heavenly Fire Holy Land, have only one piece of Cloud Silk Brocade, which is already reserved. Unless you can obtain at least half a piece of Cloud Silk Brocade, I can’t help you repair the Mountain and Rivers Chart.”

Elder Wu concluded.

Fortune is easily found, but Cloud Silk Brocade is hard to seek; he had no alternatives.

“If that’s the case, I trouble Elder Wu to help repair the Soul Subduing Bell. Once I find Cloud Silk Brocade, my disciple will deliver it along with the Mountain and Rivers Chart.”

Lu Changsheng thought of his system.

Cloud Silk Brocade is a refining material. Theoretically, as long as he persists in gifting his apprentices various silks, the system will eventually return Cloud Silk Brocade.

“Do you truly have a way to obtain Cloud Silk Brocade?”

Elder Wu was astonished.

Cloud Silk Brocade is a rare item, and a holy land like the Heavenly Fire Holy Land currently has only one piece, which has been reserved by an ancestor, leaving none for Elder Wu to use.

Could Lu Changsheng actually have confidence in obtaining Cloud Silk Brocade?

Twenty-first rank refining materials like Taiyin Cold Jade and Cloud Silk Brocade, judging by Lu Changsheng’s tone, seem not so difficult for him to acquire.

What channels does this guy have?

“I have no guarantee; I’ll see if I can purchase some.”

Lu Changsheng implied that his refining materials came from the black market.

Elder Wu realized that Lu Changsheng was willing to spare no expense to gather refining materials in the black market.

But the chances are slim, and the cost is high; most people truly cannot afford to buy top-grade refining materials from the black market.

“Then farewell.”

Lu Changsheng left the Soul Subduing Bell and then headed straight for the nearest city, sweeping all the towns in the vicinity for silks of various grades, from fifth to fifteenth, regardless of quantity, Lu Changsheng took it all.

Lu Changsheng didn’t know how many times he needed to reward the system for it to return Cloud Silk Brocade, but the more, the better.

Even if it doesn’t return Cloud Silk Brocade, he could still obtain other precious refining materials.

The shopkeepers of these towns had never seen such a lavish customer; he was even too lazy to haggle, buying everything at once.

The customer left without a name, and after sweeping everything away, he left.

Lu Changsheng bought several million rolls of silk and satin used by cultivators to tailor into Daoist Robes.

If it weren’t for the efficiency of awarding mortal fabrics being too slow, knowing it could take indefinitely to achieve the return goal from the system, Lu Changsheng pragmatically started with awarding the most ordinary fabrics.

Several million pieces of silk and satin were enough for Lu Changsheng to mentor apprentices for thousands of years.

These silks and satins filled the Space Rings, piling up like mountains.

Lu Changsheng summoned Su Xiaoqi and began distributing the fifteenth-grade silks and satins.

The higher the grade of silk and satin awarded, the higher the grade of the treasures returned by the system.

[Ding, you awarded your disciple Su Xiaoqi the fifteenth-grade refining material “Ice Silkworm Cold Silk,” and received a hundredfold return reward for mentoring: sixteenth-grade refining material “Ice Silkworm Fine Silk.”]

[Ding, you awarded your disciple Su Xiaoqi the fifteenth-grade refining material “Glittering Brocade,” and received a hundredfold return reward for mentoring: sixteenth-grade refining material “Moonlight Brocade.”]

[Ding, you awarded your disciple Su Xiaoqi the fifteenth-grade refining material “Adornment Flower Satin,” and received a hundredfold return reward for mentoring: sixteenth-grade refining material “Ten Fragrances Satin.”]

…

After Lu Changsheng gifted refining materials over a dozen times, he still hadn’t turned up any Cloud Silk Brocade.

Lu Changsheng was already accustomed to it; even the Heavenly Fire Holy Land had very few pieces of such exquisite fabric; how easy could it be?

“Let me infuse you with power to help you break through to the Divine King Realm soon.”

After the awards, Lu Changsheng performed a Power-infusing Initiation for Su Xiaoqi.

Su Xiaoqi was only a step away from breaking through.

Su Xiaoqi could be said to be, besides Su Wudi, the most gifted person of the Ancient Su Family.

As long as Su Xiaoqi accepts this Power-infusing Initiation from Lu Changsheng, she would break through to the Divine King Realm.

Lu Changsheng also needed the system-returned cultivation to repair the Human Sovereign Cauldron and provide True Qi for the Taiyin Goddess Talisman.

Lu Changsheng’s pure True Qi flowed out from his palm, descending from the Heavenly Spirit and continuously transferring into Su Xiaoqi’s body.

Su Xiaoqi guided the True Qi, circulating it along her Zodiac Meridians, refining it into her own True Qi, expanding her Dantian and Qi Sea, her aura steadily rising.

Su Wudi and other ancestors of the ancient Su Family were in cultivation, striving to overpower the Ancient Helian Clan and the Ancient Huangfu Clan when suddenly Su Wudi opened his eyes, glancing sharply in the direction where Lu Changsheng was performing the Power-infusing Initiation for Su Xiaoqi, exclaiming with great joy, “Another Divine King descendant has been born in our Su family.”

“Despite the calamities faced by our Su Family, fortunately, our descendants have shown resilience.”

“Activate the designated Tribulation site for our Su Family.”

The ancestors of the Su Family also sensed Su Xiaoqi’s rising aura; she was about to undergo her Tribulation, thus preparing to act as protectors.

[Ding, you transmitted two billion Heavenly Cultivation to your disciple Su Xiaoqi; Su Xiaoqi actually received fifty million Heavenly Cultivation. You received an eightyfold return reward for mentoring: forty billion Heavenly Cultivation.]

Lu Changsheng withdrew his power; the cultivation returned by the system allowed Lu Changsheng to directly break through to the Seventh Grade Divine King.

“Did someone else just break through?”

The Su family ancestors preparing to act as protectors discovered another expert; were astonished, could a teacher’s guidance make both the teacher and the disciple break through simultaneously?

Even Su Wudi sighed, “Lu’s mentoring ability is unmatched, something I can’t even come close to.”
