Chapter 344: Chapter 294 Another Disciple Comes Knocking_2

Those twelve materials were undoubtedly for the refining of the Soul Extinguishing Needle. As a deacon of the merchant association, he still had that discerning eye.

He knew just how skilled Li Cheng was in artifact refining techniques, so he didn’t doubt for a second that Li Cheng would fail in his refining.

“Prepare some more materials for me, a thousand sets will do!”

“I’m going to take a walk outside. Just leave them here when they’re ready.”

After speaking, Li Cheng left the box and headed towards the lobby on the first floor.

People were coming and going in the lobby. At this moment, in front of one of the counters, a young man holding a wooden box had an anxious expression as he spoke with a middle-aged man behind the counter.

A large, green arrow above the boy’s head caught Li Cheng’s attention.

Li Cheng quietly extended his perception and found that although the boy’s cultivation was only at the beginning stage of the Divine Pill, his body was sealed with an extremely powerful force.

“Duan Shuiliu, this so-called Thousand-Mechanism box of yours is useless, no one will buy it, so we really can’t purchase it!” the middle-aged man behind the counter said with a helpless look on his face.

The youth, known as ‘Duan Shuiliu’, became even more anxious, “Senior, this is a mechanical box that I spent a long time researching. It truly is a formidable hidden weapon, impossible to guard against. Please take another look!”

Still shaking his head, the middle-aged man said, “There must be many amazing things recorded in the mechanical techniques of the Duan Family, right? Why would you insist on making something so useless?”

Duan Shuiliu looked downcast, “I simply can’t afford better materials, that’s why I started with something simple…”

The middle-aged man was about to speak when he quickly bowed to Li Cheng who was approaching, “I’ve seen the Demon-suppressing Envoy, Master!”

Li Cheng nodded slightly, his gaze turning toward the so-called Thousand-Mechanism box in Duan Shuiliu’s hands, and he smiled, “How much are you selling it for?”

“Five Divine Stones, but if Master wants it, two Divine Stones will suffice,” Duan Shuiliu responded respectfully without restraint, giving a polite bow.

Li Cheng took the Thousand-Mechanism box from his hand and swept it with his divine sense, nodding slightly, “Not bad. Did you invent this yourself?”

Without waiting for Duan Shuiliu’s response, Li Cheng took out a piece of Star-Meteor Divine Iron and held it in his palm. In the next moment, the divine iron quickly melted, transforming into the shape of the Thousand-Mechanism box, even replicating its internal structure precisely.

Duan Shuiliu’s eyes widened as he stared intently at the Thousand-Mechanism box rapidly taking shape in Li Cheng’s hand, swallowing with some difficulty.

A moment later, a Thousand-Mechanism box entirely made from Star-Meteor Divine Iron was completed. Li Cheng casually put the ninety-nine Soul Extinguishing Needles into the box, sensed it for a while, and then, satisfied, stored it away.

Duan Shuiliu was stunned. Although the Thousand-Mechanism box was small, its interior consisted of hundreds of parts that needed to be refined one by one before assembly. The Demon-suppressing Envoy in front of him had just refined it all in one go?

To him, this was nothing short of miraculous!

Not only him, but many others who witnessed Li Cheng refining were now staring blankly, their faces filled with incredulity.

“The name Thousand-Mechanism box is too unpleasant to hear. How about calling it Bursting Rain Skynet?” Li Cheng suggested with a smile.

Duan Shuiliu snapped out of his daze and nodded vigorously, then he quickly knelt down and kowtowed, “Master above, accept your disciple Duan Shuiliu’s three prostrations!”

Li Cheng was taken aback. This disciple’s face was as thick as it could get!

He didn’t even have to ask if he was willing to accept a disciple, and the other party was already taking the initiative to kowtow!

“Duan Shuiliu, this is Master Li, the Demon-suppressing Envoy. Did you really think he would take disciples so casually?” the middle-aged man behind the counter said, his face filled with disbelief.

Duan Shuiliu looked up, his eyes full of admiration, and said with a grin, “Master deliberately displayed such miraculous skills, undoubtedly considering me his disciple.”

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Li Cheng doubtfully. Was that so?

Li Cheng was somewhat surprised in his heart. This disciple was quite something!

He thought the disciple was just thick-skinned, but it turned out he wasn’t just thick-skinned; he was also smart.

“Rise and follow me!”

Li Cheng led Duan Shuiliu toward the Mysterious Character 72nd Box.

“Master, my name is Duan Shuiliu. Last year, my family was killed by the Bone Clan, leaving me an orphan,” Duan Shuiliu spoke as they walked.

“The Bone Clan was after the mechanical techniques of the Duan Family, but they didn’t get them.”

Li Cheng nodded slightly, Mechanical Techniques are quite niche, but if used properly, their power is undoubtedly formidable.

For example, the newly refined Torrential Rain Sky Net could shoot out nine Soul Extinguishing Needles at once, much faster and stronger than throwing them by hand.

These mid-grade Soul Extinguishing Needles would have difficulty threatening True Gods at their peak or in their Complete state, but with the enhancement of the Torrential Rain Sky Net, that’s a different story.

“Each technique has its merits, I have high hopes for you!”

During their conversation, they arrived at the Mysterious Character 72nd Box, where Deacon Zhao had already been waiting.

“Master Li, everything has been prepared!” Deacon Zhao presented a Storage Ring with both hands.

Li Cheng took the Storage Ring and casually paid with Divine Stones, smiling, “Thank you for your efforts, Deacon Zhao. I’ll be going into seclusion for a few days, you need not wait here.”

Deacon Zhao smiled, “There’s nothing pressing, I might as well enjoy a cup of tea here at Master Li’s place.”

Li Cheng did not insist, and entered the secret chamber with Duan Shuiliu.

“The power in your body, was it sealed by one of your elders?” Li Cheng asked casually.

Duan Shuiliu performed a bow, “I cannot hide it from Master, my grandfather sealed most of his Cultivation within me before he passed away, but I lack a suitable Cultivation Technique to utilize it.”

Li Cheng smiled, extended a finger, and passed on the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture and the knowledge of Artifact Refining to Duan Shuiliu, “Absorb it slowly, your master will first refine some Soul Extinguishing Needles.”

Without haste to check, Duan Shuiliu grinned and said, “Master, I know several Mechanical Techniques that fit well for activating Soul Extinguishing Needles, such as the Thousand-Mechanism Umbrella, the Ten Thousand Destruction Box, the Brightness-Extinguish Hundred Lotus, and so on.”

While speaking, he didn’t forget to use his Divine Power to morph the appearance of these Mechanical Techniques.

No matter how one looked at it, they seemed like hidden weapons.

“The Thousand-Mechanism Umbrella is excellent, with seventy-two spokes, each capable of launching a Soul Extinguishing Needle.”

Li Cheng had an idea, Kong Lianqing had bought the recipe for refining Soul Extinguishing Needles, originally planning to refine some advanced Soul Extinguishing Needles for her, but after seeing the Thousand-Mechanism Umbrella, Li Cheng came up with a new idea.

Hearing this, Duan Shuiliu quickly condensed the crafting method for the Thousand-Mechanism Umbrella.

Li Cheng glanced over it and nodded slightly, “I see! I’ll give it a try later.”

“I have already passed on the Artifact Refining Technique to you, it’s perfect, now watch your master refine.”

He took out all the materials from the Storage Ring, and Li Cheng began Artifact Refining.

In just four hours, one thousand Soul Extinguishing Needles were completed, to Li Cheng’s surprise, ten of them turned out to be top-grade, and the rest were mid-grade.

After watching Li Cheng refine, Duan Shuiliu pondered thoughtfully and closed his eyes to gain enlightenment.

Li Cheng then left the secret chamber to purchase more Divine Materials and began to refine the Thousand-Mechanism Umbrella.

When Duan Shuiliu awoke from his enlightenment, Li Cheng already had an umbrella open in his hands, the canopy a light blue with mysterious patterns interwoven, clearly a mid-grade Divine Artifact!

Duan Shuiliu clicked his tongue in amazement, “Master’s Artifact Refining Technique is somewhat inconceivable, not only fast in refining, but the quality is also so high!”

Li Cheng paid no attention to this guy’s flattery, and after placing seven hundred and twenty Soul Extinguishing Needles into the Thousand-Mechanism Umbrella, he said, “The Thousand-Mechanism Umbrella is very suitable for unexpected counterstrikes when surrounded. What about the Ten Thousand Destruction Box?”

Duan Shuiliu eagerly condensed the crafting method for the Ten Thousand Destruction Box, “The Ten Thousand Destruction Box is a one-time use device, it can hold up to ten thousand Soul Extinguishing Needles inside, and once triggered, ten thousand Soul Extinguishing Needles will be released instantly!”

Li Cheng could imagine the power of the Ten Thousand Destruction Box, with ten thousand needles flying simultaneously, leaving no room for escape.

But the value of ten thousand Soul Extinguishing Needles… even just considering his own costs would amount to four hundred million, for other Artifact Refiners, the cost would likely multiply several times over.

“Only a prodigal son could afford such extravagance!”

Li Cheng labeled the Ten Thousand Destruction Box as exclusively for prodigal sons, then nodded with some expectation, “Watch your master refine one!”

If the Ten Thousand Destruction Box were thrown into the Demon Race’s army, it could kill a large number of Demons instantly, a strategic combat equipment for earning points!

But to actually do so would be exceedingly wasteful.

Soon, the Ten Thousand Destruction Box was refined, but with only two hundred and eighty Soul Extinguishing Needles left, there was no need to put them in, rather it would be better to refine the Brightness-Extinguish Hundred Lotus as mentioned by Duan Shuiliu.

Duan Shuiliu, being considerate, saw Li Cheng’s hesitation and promptly used his Divine Power to gather the crafting method for the Brightness-Extinguish Hundred Lotus, “Master, the Brightness-Extinguish Hundred Lotus is not weak either, very suitable for Master!”

Li Cheng smiled, why did it feel like he was harvesting leeks?
