Three days later.

Outside the Imperial City.

Looking at the plaque at the city gate, recalling the time when they first came to the Imperial City, Zuo Qingyang laughed happily, "When we first came to the Imperial City, we almost couldn't make it back."

"Fortunately, the strong ones from the Artifact Refining Pavilion helped us, otherwise we would have been doomed," Liu Qingqing laughed happily, "With our current strength, if we encounter those at the Nascent Soul Stage, we might be able to kill them."

Gu Chenfeng smiled lightly, "Senior Sister, you have just broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage and have not consolidated your realm, so you cannot fully exert the true power of the Nascent Soul Stage. Defeating those at the Nascent Soul Stage is still somewhat difficult."

"Thank you very much this time, Junior Brother." Liu Qingqing said with a happy smile, "I didn't expect we would break through to the Nascent Soul Stage so quickly."

Nearby, Bai Tu exclaimed excitedly, "Junior Brother's Elixir is indeed powerful, combined with the pure power of strong Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, it helped us break through to the Nascent Soul Stage in just three days."

Gu Chenfeng laughed lightly, "Once we reach the Medicine God Hall, with the help of the Celestial Mountain Blood Spring, along with the Nine Revolutions Primordial Spirit Pill and the Sixth Grade Pill to enhance your cultivation, your cultivation will increase even faster."

"The pure power of the Celestial Mountain Blood Spring is immense. If you cultivate for a while, breaking through to the Soul Emergence Stage won't be a problem."

This time, Gu Chenfeng brought Zuo Qingyang and the others here to let them cultivate in the Celestial Mountain Blood Spring at the Medicine God Hall to quickly enhance their cultivation.

"Junior Brother, is the Celestial Mountain Blood Spring of the Medicine God Hall really that powerful?" Liu Qingqing asked curiously, already eager to enter the Blood Spring for cultivation.

"Junior Brother, I can't wait," Bai Tu rubbed his hands excitedly, "I want to become stronger soon, I dream of surpassing the Masters."

"What's the rush? Uncle Master Qiushui hasn't arrived yet," Zuo Qingyang said with a light laugh, "Uncle Master Qiushui is still consolidating the Soul Emergence Stage realm and also needs to refine pills, at least three more hours."

Gu Chenfeng laughed lightly, "Let's go in first."

After entering the Imperial City, Gu Chenfeng and his group happily strolled around the city a few times before finally heading to the Artifact Refining Pavilion.

Gu Chenfeng came to the Artifact Refining Pavilion this time precisely to guide Mu Qingchen and others in refining powerful Immortal Artifacts.

Artifact Refining Pavilion.

"Welcome, Young Master Feng!" An Artifact Refining Elder greeted respectfully, "The Pavilion Master and the elders are already waiting in the main hall, please follow me."

Looking at Zuo Qingyang and the others, Gu Chenfeng smiled lightly, "Senior Brother, Senior Sister, you go look at the Royal Artifacts first, pick any you like; they're on me."

"Junior Brother, we won't be polite with you," Liu Qingqing said with a joyful smile, "It's perfect timing; we all need powerful Royal Artifacts!"

In a short while.

The Artifact Refining Elder led Gu Chenfeng to the palace of the Artifact Refining Pavilion.

Mu Qingchen and Mo Qianjun, along with several elders, emerged from the main hall altogether, clasping their fists respectfully in salute, "Welcome, Ancestor."

"How did it go?" Gu Chenfeng asked with a smile, "Were you able to refine an Immortal Artifact?"

"Failed," Mu Qingchen said helplessly and awkwardly, "We tried several times, but all failed, wasting precious materials. Reaching the Eighth Grade realm, refining an Immortal Artifact is as hard as reaching the heavens."

Mo Qianjun gave a wry smile, "Even with the Ancestor's Refining Technique and the cultivation of the Immortal Technique of Refining Artifacts, we still couldn't refine an Immortal Artifact; it's extremely difficult."

"The Soul Power at the Eighth Grade realm does indeed make refining an Immortal Artifact somewhat challenging," Gu Chenfeng replied with a light laugh, "but it's not impossible to refine. With the Refining Technique and the Immortal Technique of Refining Artifacts, as long as there are no mistakes, there's always a chance to refine an Immortal Artifact."

As he spoke, Gu Chenfeng entered the palace, with Mu Qingchen and others following him in.

Upon entering the main hall, a pungent smell filled the air.

The Artifact Refining Pavilion was in ruins, obviously having experienced a massive explosion.

After glancing at the Artifact Refining Furnace, Gu Chenfeng smiled lightly, "Pavilion Master, try refining again; let me see where it went wrong."

"Alright," Mu Qingchen replied respectfully.

Mu Qingchen approached the Artifact Refining Furnace, mobilized Soul Power and True Fire, and injected them into the furnace.

More than ten seconds later, Mu Qingchen's hands quickly formed the Profound Mystery Seal, and the True Fire in the Furnace instantly multiplied several times.

Gu Chenfeng nodded, "The True Fire and Soul Power are not weak; they're sufficient for refining an Immortal Artifact. The problem doesn't lie here."

Mu Qingchen waved his hand, and a piece of Outer Heaven Meteorite Iron entered the Artifact Refining Furnace, where the True Fire burned it furiously.

Half an hour later, the Outer Heaven Meteorite Iron began to melt.

Mu Qingchen waved his hand again, and more than a dozen mighty and precious refining materials successively entered the furnace to be burned, a powerful aura accompanying them.

Mu Qingchen's hands changed again, fully activating Soul Power and True Fire.

Half an hour later, all the refining materials melted, with the emanating power growing stronger and stronger.

"Condense!" Mu Qingchen shouted in a low voice, his hands swiftly changing once more, frantically injecting Soul Power into the Artifact Refining Furnace.

Every step of Artifact Refining followed the Refining Technique.

However.

When the artifact refining process reached over ten minutes, the powerful aura inside the Furnace suddenly became turbulent and erratic, followed by a burst of dazzling light, exuding immense power.

Mo Qianjun was startled and exclaimed, "Oh no! It's out of control!"

Mu Qingchen's old face changed drastically, shouted urgently, "Ancestor! Get out of here!"

"Boom!"

The Artifact Refining Furnace suddenly exploded, rolling out black smoke as the palace shook violently.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

The explosion alarmed the numerous strong practitioners and artifact refiners of the Artifact Refining Pavilion.

Seeing the thick black smoke, they all shook their heads, clearly recognizing Mu Qingchen's failure in refining an Immortal Artifact once again.

Mo Qianjun gave a wry smile, "Another failure, just like before."

In a short while.

Mu Qingchen came out coughing.

Although the explosive force couldn't hurt Mu Qingchen, it turned him into a black figure with a conspicuously exploded hairstyle.

Mu Qingchen, not caring about his sorry appearance, said helplessly to Gu Chenfeng, "Ancestor, just like before, I failed at this point."

"I've been following the Refining Technique for artifact crafting, yet I can't understand the reason for the failure. Please instruct me, Ancestor."

Gu Chenfeng smiled lightly, "There's no issue with the Soul Power, and the fire control is slightly lacking, but it doesn't affect the process. The problem also isn't with material burning, though it does take more time than necessary."

"The reason for failure lies in the fusion of materials, the difficult fusion of the powers within various materials, mainly due to unstable Soul Power."

"With unstable Soul Power, it's hard to fuse the power of materials. Towards the end, your Soul Power is nearly exhausted, preventing the successful refining of the Immortal Artifact."

"Unstable Soul Power," Mu Qingchen nodded.

Mo Qianjun hurriedly asked, "Ancestor, refining Immortal Artifacts requires a vast consumption of Soul Power. When it comes to the condensation step, the Soul Power is nearly depleted. What should we do?"

"It's simple," Gu Chenfeng replied with a light laugh, "When burning refining materials, you don't need too much Soul Power, just control the fire level properly."

"I see," Mu Qingchen's old eyes suddenly shone bright, instantly filled with confidence.
