For a long time, Xu Que had been trying to reforge this broken halberd into a good weapon. It was a pity that the level of his equipment-refining skill was not high enough. At the same time, his Mystical Fires were not able to reforge the Purple Sky Age Metal. When he realized that Mo Junchen was able to forge equipment with the divine fire, he remembered the broken halberd immediately. He got very excited. If this broken halberd could be reforged keeping the Terrifying Spiritual Qi in it, his strength would be enhanced remarkably!
“Is this…the Purple Sky Age Metal? It’s even the Best-grade Purple Sky Age Metal!” When Mo Junchen saw the broken halberd in Xu Que’s hands, he shouted in surprise and couldn’t believe what he was seeing. As the old saying goes, Venus is the brightest star in the sky, while the age metal is the most precious on the ground. When it was created in the purple sky, it became the Purple Sky Age Metal, which featured a Terrifying Spiritual Qi and an extreme hardness. It was a precious material that was even favored by the deities. Anyone who could obtain a small piece of Purple Sky Age Metal would be extremely excited.
Now, the broken halberd in Xu Que’s hands was made from the Purple Sky Age Metal. The color of this weapon was deep purple, almost black, which meant it was the Best-grade Purple Sky Age Metal. Mo Junchen was so excited that he almost started to shed tears. He reached out his trembling hands and asked in a shaky voice, “Faction Leader, how did you get this divine item?”
“It was an award from a guy I helped when I fought evil to save the weak! Cut the cr*p! Just tell me whether you are able to reforge it or not! You must keep the Terrifying Spiritual Qi in it when you reforge it into a new Celestial Artifact!” Xu Que said. This long halberd used to be a Middle-grade Celestial Artifact, or it might even have been a High-grade Celestial Artifact before its fracture. When the halberd’s head was broken, the remaining part of this halberd was still an Inferior Celestial Artifact. Xu Que cherished it very much and worried that Mo Junchen would not be able to reforge it.
“Faction Leader, what I am sure of is that this weapon, which is made from the Purple Sky Age Metal, is already a Celestial Artifact before I even begin to reforge it. Moreover, I will have the assistance of the divine fire. If I am not able to reforge it, I would be unworthy of the title of a King Refiner!” Mo Junchen said with a wry smile.
“Oh? What kind of Celestial Artifact can you make through reforging it?” Xu Que asked.
“A Middle-grade Celestial Artifact, and the quality will be pretty good. It will be almost as powerful as a High-grade Celestial Artifact. Also, if I could continue to make progress in the future, I could continue to upgrade it. There is no upper limit for materials like Purple Sky Age Metal. So I wouldn’t be surprised if it became a divine artifact in the future!” Mo Junchen said confidently. He was eager to have a try. As a King Refiner, he had his goals. It would be an honor for him if he could reforge a Celestial Artifact that was made from such a precious material!
“Good! Then I will leave you to it!” Xu Que nodded his head satisfactorily as he handed over the broken halberd to Mo Junchen. Mo Junchen held the broken halberd in his hands with great care. Then he started to caress it as if he was touching his child. It seemed as if he was worried he would ruin the halberd if he touched it too hard. Unlike most mediocre materials, the Purple Sky Age Metal was extremely precious. Even a small piece of it shouldn’t be wasted.
“D*mn! Guardian Mo, stop wasting time caressing it! The divine fire will be out in two hours! You gotta get cracking!” Buttface urged at this moment.
Mo Junchen came to himself and said with a faint smile, “Two hours will be enough for me! I will be back soon!” Then he put the broken halberd down in a safe place and dashed toward the divine fire that was directly behind him.
Standing farther back, Xu Que stared at the divine fire from afar. It was too powerful for him. He had to dismiss the idea of taking the divine fire away! Indeed, even though the divine fire was very precious, he was definitely not powerful enough to take it away. If he tried to take it, he would set himself on fire for sure!
“Little brat, why have you disguised yourself in this way? D*mn! You look even older than Duan Jiude!” Buttface walked up to Xu Que and asked him the question that had been bothering him.
“How could you have the nerve to ask me that question? You made big troubles in the Jade Lake, and I had to solve the problems caused by you! Remember, I am Xu Que’s father now! Don’t screw up my disguise and call me Xu Que in front of them!” Xu Que ordered Buttface. If he hadn’t obtained a Nine-Reincarnation Peach after finding Buttface’s paw print in the Jade Lake’s peach tree garden, he would surely have severely punished Buttface and Duan Jiude!
“Xu Que’s father? Holy sh*t! Little brat, you are really good at disguises! No wonder they are looking at you so reverently now!” Buttface flattered Xu Que. Xu Que pushed Buttface away and said, shaking his head, “Stop flattering me! I will send them away somewhere. You go to the place where Liu Jingning is hiding and tell her I am back!”
“No, I can’t do that! She is healing her wounds through secluded cultivation, which will last for at least ten days! By the way, where are the people from the Divine Farmer Clan?” Buttface asked, as he peeped at the people who were standing at the rear.
“You don’t need to peep. I’ve killed Yi Zhong. His guardians also left because they felt ashamed of their ugly appearances in front of my handsome face!” Xu Que said. Buttface exclaimed immediately, “Brother Que is awesome!”
“Damn! Buttface, how shameless you are! If you continue to flatter him like this, you might be struck by lightning! Frankly speaking, little brat, I always agree you are handsome. However, you failed to kill those guardians with your handsomeness, which means you should be even more handsome in the future!” Duan Jiude said earnestly. They were worried that Xu Que might punish them because of the trouble they had caused in the Jade Lake. So they continued flattering Xu Que shamelessly.
Xu Que ignored them. He turned around and started to leave the Taoist Sanctum directly. Seeing that, Bai Cailing and the others asked, “Elder Xu, the fire over there…?”
“They had a barbecue in that place and caused a bushfire. We have asked for help from the fire brigade of the Exploding Heavens Faction. You should stay away from that place!” Xu Que ordered, waving his hand. His words embarrassed everyone. “A bushfire caused by a barbecue? Are you kidding me? There’s no bush in this area!” was running through many of these people’s minds.
“Okay!” Bai Cailing didn’t ask any questions, and agreed, nodding her head. She knew the flames on those ruins were quite extraordinary and they had even scared her. She had seen Buttface and Duan Jiude flee from that area. So she figured it was impossible for them to get anything useful there. She decided to ignore that place as Elder Xu had requested. After a short hesitation, Ji Wuyun and the sovereigns for the other two sects also nodded their heads slightly and didn’t step into that area.
Xu Que activated the System’s interface as he stood there. The divine fire was so extraordinary. Even though he had dismissed the idea of taking the fire away, he didn’t want to give up too easily. In order to take full advantage of anything useful, he asked the System whether he could take away the divine fire. The reply he got from the System was almost the same as the one provided by Mo Junchen. He would need a divine artifact to take away the fire. Xu Que felt very sorry to lose it.
“The divine fire! It is the divine fire! If I can get it, I will be invincible on the Heaven Continent. And I won’t be afraid of the Golden Celestials of the Great All-Embracing Heaven anymore! Do I really have to miss such an extraordinary item as this? The motto of the Exploding Heavens Faction demands that we make use of anything useful! ” Xu Que was deep in conversation inside his head. Then, he decided to ask the System one more question, “System, could I obtain a divine artifact through your lucky draw?”
