#157Chapter 157

"Here are the Immortal Artifact materials. I want a heavy long staff Immortal Artifact, or a heavy hammer would also work."

"No problem, Brother He, come back in half a year to pick up the goods."

Zhang Yuhe took the storage ring and nodded in response.

After He Xingfa left.

Zhang Yuhe quickly went to the weapon crafting room.

This was his first big move in Jianfang Market.

He couldn't be careless.

According to He Xingfa's needs, Zhang Yuhe quickly planned out the shape of the Immortal Artifact.

He planned to use the Nine Heavens Flying Spirit Staff as a blueprint to refine a low-grade long staff Immortal Artifact.

As the materials were put into the crafting cauldron.

Zhang Yuhe silently watched the changes in the cauldron while slowly cultivating.

After becoming a True Immortal, cultivation progress was extremely slow.

Zhang Yuhe roughly estimated that even with his heaven-defying talent, it would probably take several thousand, or even tens of thousands of years to cultivate to the mid-stage of True Immortal.

If he could open the three apertures in advance, his cultivation speed should be faster.

But it would probably still take four to five thousand years to break through to the mid-stage of True Immortal.

This cultivation speed should be considered extremely fast.

You should know that Xie Mingyuan spent 200,000 years to break through to the late stage of True Immortal.

Even then, he could be considered a peerless genius in the Jianhai Sea Area.

But Zhang Yuhe still felt it was too slow.

He was used to cultivating at rocket speed in Yufan Heaven.

Now that it suddenly slowed down, he felt extremely uncomfortable.

However, Immortal cultivation is like this.

Take it slowly.

...

Half a year later.

He Xingfa came to visit again.

Zhang Yuhe walked out of the cave dwelling. After the two of them sat down in the courtyard.

He Xingfa couldn't wait to ask.

"I wonder if Brother Zhang has successfully refined the Immortal Artifact."

Zhang Yuhe didn't say anything.

He waved his right hand.

A jet-black long staff appeared in his hand.

The long staff was surrounded by Immortal Qi, interspersed with circles of golden runes.

He Xingfa reached out to take it.

The long staff was extremely heavy. He wasn't careful and his body swayed.

If it weren't for the fact that he had cultivated an Immortal Body, he would have almost dropped the long staff on the ground.

Looking at the long staff Immortal Artifact in his hand, He Xingfa reached out to stroke it, his expression extremely excited.

He carefully looked at the long staff in his hand, as if he was looking at a work of art.

When he saw the small words [Milky Way Sky Piercing Staff] engraved in the middle of the long staff.

He Xingfa couldn't help but laugh happily.

"What a fine Milky Way Sky Piercing Staff."

After carefully examining it for a long time, He Xingfa reluctantly put away the long staff and then asked Zhang Yuhe.

"I don't have many Immortal Stones on me. I basically spent all of them to collect materials. I wonder if I can pay with Chaos Beast Crystal Nuclei?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yuhe's eyes lit up.

Chaos Beast Crystal Nuclei, those are good things.

The main purpose of him helping He Xingfa refine the Immortal Artifact was to make a name for himself.

As long as he had a reputation, it would be much easier to do things in the market in the future.

Regarding the reward, he really hadn't thought about it too much.

If he wanted a reward, he would definitely have to collect the money first before doing things.

But since it was a Chaos Crystal Nucleus, then there was no need to be polite.

This thing was exactly what he needed.

Thinking of this, he tentatively asked.

"I wonder if Brother Xie has any two-star crystal nuclei?"

He Xingfa flipped his wrist, and a crystal nucleus emitting a violent aura appeared in his hand.

"This is a two-star crystal nucleus, consider it as a reward for Brother Zhang."

"Okay."

Zhang Yuhe nodded, expressing his agreement.

This was a fair trade.

Immortal Artifact Masters generally receive rewards of equivalent materials when helping others refine artifacts.

The price of an Immortal Artifact is roughly equivalent to ten one-star crystal nuclei.

And one two-star crystal nucleus can be exchanged for ten one-star crystal nuclei.

However, this is only the theoretical exchange price.

In fact, the higher the star level of the crystal nucleus, the rarer it is.

Strictly speaking, Zhang Yuhe made a profit by using the two-star crystal nucleus as a reward for refining the artifact.

...

After the transaction was completed, He Xingfa left happily.

Zhang Yuhe looked at the crystal nucleus in his hand, and his mood was also extremely happy.

He still had one one-star crystal nucleus left in his hand, plus this crystal nucleus.

Then he could open two apertures.

Thinking of this.

Zhang Yuhe quickly walked towards the cave dwelling.

He came to the cultivation platform, sat down cross-legged, and silently recalled the contents of the Chaos Aperture Opening Secret Technique.

According to the records on the stone tablet, using this secret technique to open apertures requires the assistance of an Immortal Formation.

After a while, Zhang Yuhe stood up.

He waved his right hand, and flags quickly fell around the cultivation platform.

He had prepared these flags before, and now he only needed to engrave formation patterns.

Zhang Yuhe reached out and engraved in the air. Invisible formation patterns connected all the flags around the cultivation platform together.

When the last formation pattern was completed.

He quickly pinched the magic seal, and a purple light lit up in the cave dwelling.

The light enveloped the sky above the cultivation platform, forming a purple light curtain.

Zhang Yuhe took out the one-star crystal nucleus and placed it not far in front of him.

He gently took a breath, and then slowly absorbed the aura from the crystal nucleus according to the method on the Chaos Aperture Opening Secret Technique.

The Nascent Soul villain in the dantian suddenly opened its eyes.

A bright spot of light lit up on the golden Nascent Soul.

The light illuminated the entire dantian, and the dantian sea began to expand again.

Time slowly passed.

I don't know how long it has been.

Zhang Yuhe slowly stood up from the cultivation platform.

Feeling the surging power in the dantian, a smile could not help but appear on his face.

"Very good, after the Nascent Soul opens an aperture, the strength has indeed improved a lot."

He silently felt the changes in the dantian.

After opening the first aperture, his dantian sea had expanded by another 30%.

Moreover, the Immortal Spiritual Qi in the dantian had become purer.

This is the benefit of opening the Nascent Soul aperture.

It can not only directly improve the strength of the True Immortal, but also improve the endurance.

In addition, after the Nascent Soul opens an aperture, the cultivation speed will also be greatly improved.
