Chapter 354 Instruments Completed (1/2)

Very quickly, the news of Headmaster's order was known by the masses in Qing Xuan, and the fellow elders also paid attention to this Dao assessment. Once the group of disciples handed in the spiritual materials obtained during their travels, all of them began to quiet their minds and enter solitary retreats. It was till the point that no one was paying heed when the headmaster opened the Heavenly Cauldron to forge the treasure items.

Of course, this was also due to the fact that once the Headmaster opened the Heavenly Cauldron, the Qi of vitality of Taiyi Peak boiled. It became a form of its own with the wind howling in the sky and the fire birthing from the ground. It was impossible to even get close.

The Qing Xuan Hall point to the distant Zifu Peak. It was connected to the heavens so it gets the clear air of Qi. It was connected to the earth, the force of the earth element continuously flowed. There was even the water from the River of Spirits that lingered between Taiyi and Zifu. It flowed outwards, which made spiritual vigor of Taiyi Peak to continuously grow and reproduce without stopping.

The Yin Qi of the River of Spirits could suppress the ground fire, causing it to not tyrannize outwards.

Of course, only with Shen Lian's massive mana that he was able to fuel the Heavenly Cauldron.

The Qing Xuan Hall bore no resemblance to the past appearance. It was like an iron cauldron of a thousand feet. While on one side the blazing fire burnt, the other side was the chilling River of Spirits water. That water was extradited from the top of the mountain to the bottom. It was enough to fight against the ground fire.

At the same time, Shen Lian continuously cast Ice Light into the River of Spirits water. On top of it, a thin layer of icy frost was condensed.

The force of the ground fire was healthy and vigorous. The materials that were cast into it eventually melted into a pool of spiritual liquid.

Once the spiritual liquid absorbed enough energy from the fire, it slowly flowed to the icy frost, melt the icy layer and sunk into the River of Spirits water. The towering internal heat dispelled without a sound and trace during the process of sinking into the River of Spirits water.

Shen Lian continuously chanted spells as one portion of materials were placed in after another. The spiritual liquid condensed in the water. There was a ring, a sword seed, a long staff and many different kinds of instruments that eventually cooled down and set into its shapes.

This was only the first step. What followed next was ingraining the runes. It had to be pierced in one go without any mistakes to be considered perfect.

Shen Lian was not lacking in mana but to ingrain these Dao words consumed both the energies of the mind and spirit. Even if his Primordial Spirit was stronger than most immortal Zhenrens, he was still unable to stand it by a tad.

His beads of sweat rolled down one by one and minor wind and small rain were produced. It stained the surrounding plants that wilted due to the force of the fire, causing it to revitalize.

This was the body of the land immortal that had gotten the essence of the universe. With the drop of a sweat, it was a spiritual rain that would create plants.

For this opening of cauldron, there were sufficient spiritual materials. This was not solely because of the contribution of the disciples that traveled. Ever since the establishment of the Temple of Longevity, it expanded Qing Xuan's influence once again in the sea area. Even though the Temple of Longevity did not have top grade plants and minerals, it was bountiful in the usual spiritual material. Now, the good quality materials were put to use here.

It was seldom that Shen Lian was somewhat adept in the Dao of the five elements. He categorized each material based on the five elements, whether its amount was more or less, he was like the doctor of the mortal that prescribed medicine using composing principle. All of it was just right.

One portion of the material was tossed in after another, there was hardly any waste.

After approximately one month's time, the ground figure that surged in the Taiyi Peak slowly diminished under the might of the different kinds of Dao talisman.

And the ten lights of Taiyi Peak shone brightly. It flew around Qing Xuan Hall. For a moment, the essence of all beings and the natural treasures towered into the clouds and it shook and fought.

After one day and one night, only then the lights dispelled.

Shen Lian then slowly let out his breath and kept the instruments into his sleeve.

With this forging experience, he will be able to forge Xuande Sword into the Five Element Magical Sword when he collects the a-thousand-year-old cold iron, cosmic dust, and the Tianyi true water.

Sadly, while there was ample time for other immortal Zhenrens, Shen Lian felt a pressing urge.

He brushed away the faint apprehension that was brought by exhaustion. After regulating his breath, he was once again full of spirit and energy. He walked to the outside of the hall.

A crowd of elders was waiting outside. When they saw Shen Lian coming out from the hall, they bowed.
