Chapter 337: The ancestor of artifact refining for the sake of a beautiful woman's smile!
time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.
jiang yifeng slowly awakened from his epiphany.
this time, his insights were remarkable.
he had directly become a saint-level peak artifact refiner.
xiao yi, who was beside him, saw jiang yifeng's achievement, and his eyes turned red.
infuriating, truly infuriating.
it had taken him over a billion years to reach the peak of saint-level artifact refining.
yet jiang yifeng had caught up in just eight hundred years.
of course, despite his envy, xiao yi knew his place.
he could only nod and bow, congratulating jiang yifeng from the side:
"senior, your talent is truly astonishing, reaching the pinnacle of artifact refining in such a short time; it's truly a cause for celebration!"
hearing this, jiang yifeng shook his head.
the pinnacle of artifact refining?
how could that be?
although xiao yi claimed that the strongest artifact refiners were at the saint-level peak, jiang yifeng didn't agree.
artifact refining was different from alchemy and formation dao.
in the records, the strongest in alchemy and formation dao only reached the saint-level.
there had only been saint-level formations and pills, nothing beyond that, and no further records.
this made jiang yifeng feel as if he was being limited by the heavens.
but artifact refining was different.
the treasures of artifact refining had specific levels recorded.
it's known that saint artifacts are only ranked third.
above them are divine artifacts and dao artifacts.
if a saint-level artifact refiner could only refine saint artifacts, how did dao artifacts and divine artifacts come to be?
innate treasures among divine artifacts can be considered naturally occurring treasures.
but what about acquired treasures?
are they also naturally occurring?
jiang yifeng wasn't too sure about this.
even if acquired treasures were naturally occurring, what about dao artifacts?
they couldn't be fictional, right?
surely someone must have successfully refined them.
while saint-level artifact refiners might be the peak now, historically, someone must have surpassed this realm.
at the same time, jiang yifeng was also uncertain if alchemy and formation dao were truly limited by the heavens.
after all, artifact refining was also a secondary cultivation.
why would only alchemy and formations be limited, and not artifact refining?
perhaps the so-called heavenly limitation wasn't really from the heavens?
could it be man-made?
but if it were man-made, why not limit artifact refining as well?
that wouldn't make sense.
all are secondary cultivations, leaving one unrestricted would easily arouse suspicion!
after a long while, jiang yifeng's lips curled into a smile.
he murmured to himself, "interesting, interesting."
"little did he know, the hairpin crafted from those strange stones with spiritual fire and cultivation had a special effect."
"thus, the first artifact refining item appeared in the world!"
after reading the first page, jiang yifeng frowned.
what was this?
was this the origin of artifact refining?
it seemed a bit far-fetched!
of course, that wasn't the main point.
the main point was, could the founder of the grand path of artifact refining really be a young master who just wanted to make a beauty smile?
ha! jiang yifeng didn't believe it at all.
seeing this, he had little hope for the book.
it was probably just a storybook full of rumors.
of course, despite saying this, jiang yifeng still turned to the second page of the book.
...
another series of young masters indulging in eating, drinking, and entertainment.
then, to make a beauty smile, they engaged in various artifact refinements again.
the third page...
the fourth page...
it wasn't until the fifth page that something different appeared.
"the young master seemed troubled, bid farewell to the beauty, and gifted her the complete guide to artifact refining."
"thus, the path of artifact refining was passed down!"
"the beauty's name was xue hongyan, the ancestral master of the artifact refining path!"
"according to the ancestral master: the ancestor of artifact refining was her beloved, young master liang, liang zhilei!"
wait...
jiang yifeng rubbed his eyes.
what did he just see?
liang zhilei?
was it just a namesake?
but...
jiang yifeng couldn't help but think of his rascally friend liang zhilei, who was also a master at listening to music in pleasure houses.
he would also go to great lengths to make a beauty smile.
he hesitated.
was it really just a namesake?
moreover, jiang yifeng thought of another issue.
he hadn't heard of liang zhilei's death in any simulation.
in previous simulations, the simulator's display might have been overlooked.
but in this simulation, he had been in deep simulation mode the whole time.
although he had rarely hung out with liang zhilei after his cultivation, he used to be one of liang zhilei's closest friends.
logically, if liang zhilei had died, he should have been informed, or at least the jiang family mansion should have been notified!
so why wasn't he informed?
did they forget to invite him?
or was it that liang zhilei wasn't dead?
