Chapter 1515: Chapter 1506: Frantic Repair, Shocking Again
In the valley.
After Dong Yehai learned that Ye Chenfeng was an artifact refiner, he became even more enthusiastic towards him, but he did not immediately inquire what grade of artifact refiner Ye Chenfeng was.
Dong Yehai instructed Dong Xiaomei and Dong Chengfei to stay in the valley to take care of Ye Chenfeng and help build a wooden house for him. Meanwhile, Dong Yehai and Wufeng Jiang and the other three left the valley.
After leaving the valley.
Dong Yehai, Wufeng Jiang, and Wufeng Chi continued eastward in flight, and after about half an hour, they arrived at the summit of a tall mountain.
Two beast corpses lay conspicuously on the mountaintop—the Silver-bodied Sea Python and the Sea King Scorpion!
These two beasts were left by the ancestors of the Sea Clan and were responsible for guiding the prophesied person.
However, in this sealed small world, even sea experts at the peak of the Nirvana Realm’s fifth heaven couldn’t pass freely. The Silver-bodied Sea Python and Sea King Scorpion had to pay with their lives to temporarily leave this place before.
When the Silver-bodied Sea Python and Sea King Scorpion returned, their life force was already exhausted. Earlier, Wufeng Jiang and Wufeng Chi had not arrived at the martial arts arena of Li Yanshan because they were attempting to save the Silver-bodied Sea Python and Sea King Scorpion.
But with the abilities of the two elders, Wufeng Jiang and Wufeng Chi, they could only watch as the Silver-bodied Sea Python and Sea King Scorpion died.
Looking at the corpses of the Silver-bodied Sea Python and Sea King Scorpion, Dong Yehai’s eyes revealed a trace of sorrow. He sighed and said, “Ah, thousands of years ago, some of our Sea Clan were too fond of slaughter and too arrogant, which eventually led to calamity and near extinction.”
“Li Yanshan is a cruel person. Before the ancestors sealed this small world away, they had already seen that Li Yanshan was not someone who could restore the Sea Clan, so the ancestors didn’t confide many matters to him, and instead told everything to me.”
Dong Yehai glanced at the somewhat puzzled Wufeng Jiang and Wufeng Chi and continued, “The ancestors once foretold that the person who arrives here will not only lead us, the Sea Clan, to see the light of day again, but as long as we wholeheartedly submit to him, our Sea Clan will rise to prominence once more.”
Wufeng Jiang frowned and said, “Clan Leader, are you suggesting that our Sea Clan should submit to this human cultivator?”
Wufeng Chi immediately chimed in, “Clan Leader, that human cultivator is only at the Divine Thought Realm. Isn’t this unwise?”
Dong Yehai furrowed his brow slightly and said, “I believe in the ancestors’ prophecy. Besides, didn’t you see it? That human cultivator is also an artifact refiner, and he might bring us more surprises in the future.”
“If he can lead our Sea Clan to see the light again, then we might as well take a gamble. For our Sea Clan to restore its past glory on its own would probably take more than a hundred years.”
As Dong Yehai, Wufeng Jiang, and the others discussed the future of the Sea Clan,
In the valley,
Dong Xiaomei and Dong Chengfei stood far to the left side of Ye Chenfeng.
While Ye Chenfeng, without pause, carved the Spirit Array Diagram. Among the more than five hundred discarded weapons here, there were about a hundred Lower Grade Magic Artifacts, fifty or so Middle Grade Magic Artifacts, over two hundred High Grade Magic Artifacts, around one hundred fifty Lower Grade Spiritual Artifacts, about sixty Middle Grade Spiritual Artifacts, and only two High Grade Spiritual Artifacts.
In artifact refining, the most important and challenging step is carving the Spirit Array Diagram. Once mastered, the other aspects of refining become much simpler.
Ye Chenfeng started by repairing the Spirit Array Diagrams of the Lower Grade Magic Artifacts. After old Hei shared the various spirit arrays of the Lower Grade Magic Artifacts with him,
Ye Chenfeng waved one Lower Grade Magic Artifact after another, using the power of his Divine Sense to guide the spiritual energy within his body into the artifact to redraw the Spirit Array Diagram within it.
At first, it took Ye Chenfeng several minutes to repair the Spirit Array Diagram of a single Lower Grade Magic Artifact.
However, after repairing over fifty Lower Grade Magic Artifacts, his speed gradually picked up.
Using the strength of his Divine Sense, spiritual energy flowed into each Lower Grade Magic Artifact, outlining thin lines inside them. These thin lines converged to form Spirit Array Diagrams one after another.
Now, Ye Chenfeng’s mind was focused solely on carving Spirit Array Diagrams, over and over again.
Sweat poured down Ye Chenfeng’s forehead and cheeks like rain. His clothes were long soaked with sweat.
But Ye Chenfeng showed no intention of stopping. In just one day’s time, he had repaired all the Spirit Array Diagrams inside the Lower Grade Magic Artifacts.
This left old Hei, who was researching how to break the formation with old Bai, speechless. Even though Ye Chenfeng had guidance from a supreme artifact refiner like him, his speed was astoundingly swift. After all, Ye Chenfeng had only carved Spirit Array Diagrams twice before!
Even Jiang Yuntian, the supreme artifact refiner, was astonished, let alone Dong Xiaomei and Dong Chengfei, who had been watching Ye Chenfeng from the side. Witnessing him restore about a hundred Lower Grade Magic Artifacts in just one day left the siblings utterly dumbfounded.
Most importantly, Dong Chengfei’s eyes lit up with excitement. The Sea Clan had been trapped here for thousands of years. Many of the weapons in the Sea Clan were disabled; elixirs and spirit grass were long depleted. Now, even Dong Chengfei and Dong Xiaomei, who held significant positions, lacked even a single Lower Grade Magic Artifact.
Essentially, the Sea Clan was pitifully destitute.
“Sister, what grade of artifact refiner do you think this brother is?” Dong Chengfei asked curiously.
Apart from carving Spirit Array Diagrams, Ye Chenfeng spent his time resting with closed eyes, giving Dong Chengfei no opportunity to disturb him.
While Dong Xiaomei was also tempted by the Lower Grade Magic Artifacts Ye Chenfeng had restored, she maintained a cold exterior and said, “Chengfei, typically, refining an artifact’s Spirit Array Diagram is more taxing than crafting a new artifact. Ordinary artifact refiners would not undertake such work. I think he must be at least a Second Grade artifact refiner.”
“To be a Second Grade artifact refiner at such a young age means he is surely a talent in today’s Earth Profound Realm, especially when the highest-grade artifact refiner during our time was only Sixth Grade.”
But over the next six days, the brother and sister, Dong Xiaomei and Dong Chengfei, were nearly driven insane with shock.
Dong Yehai, Wufeng Jiang, and Wufeng Chi remained in the valley from the second day onwards as well.
On the first day,
Ye Chenfeng restored all the Lower Grade Magic Artifacts.
On the second day,
Ye Chenfeng restored all the Middle Grade Magic Artifacts.
On the third and fourth day,
Since there were over two hundred High Grade Magic Artifacts, Ye Chenfeng took two days to repair them.
On the fifth and sixth day,
The Spirit Array Diagrams of the Lower Grade Spiritual Artifacts became more complex. With over one hundred fifty to restore, Ye Chenfeng took two days to repair them as well.
As for the seventh day,
Armed with the experience of carving the Lower Grade Spiritual Artifacts’ Spirit Array Diagrams, carving those of the Middle Grade Spiritual Artifacts became easier, and with only sixty to restore, Ye Chenfeng needed just a single day.
Regarding the two High Grade Spiritual Artifacts, Ye Chenfeng decided not to attempt them, as his current capabilities made carving their Spirit Array Diagrams somewhat strenuous.
During these seven days, old Hei Jiang Yuntian almost completely lost interest in researching formations, unable to fathom what made Ye Chenfeng so extraordinary, what he ate to reach such monstrous heights.
Within just seven days, Ye Chenfeng had fully mastered the Spirit Array Diagrams from Lower Grade Magic Artifacts to Middle Grade Spiritual Artifacts, setting a precedent never before seen or likely to be repeated!
Feeling almost suicidal, old Hei could only console himself, thinking that his guidance must have been too excellent, which allowed Ye Chenfeng to master the Spirit Array Diagrams so comprehensively in just seven days.
As for Dong Yehai and others, upon witnessing Ye Chenfeng restore all Middle Grade Spiritual Artifacts, they were thoroughly shocked to their cores, recognizing that Ye Chenfeng, being in his early twenties, could repair the Spirit Array Diagrams of Middle Grade Spiritual Artifacts.
Thus, Ye Chenfeng must surely be a Fifth-Rank artifact refiner.
A Fifth-Rank artifact refiner in his early twenties?
Dong Yehai and the others had never encountered such a young Fifth-Rank artifact refiner, and even the Nirvana Realm Dong Yehai, Wufeng Jiang, and Wufeng Chi were stunned, swallowing their saliva in disbelief.
