My Beasts Grind Proficiency For Me

With Silver Horn’s Core Formation and Si Taizhen’s Nascent Soul Formation complete, Yang Jing was free of all worries. He immediately began the task of refining a body for Nine Marvels.

This body needed to do more than just house an Artifact Spirit; it had to allow Nine Marvels to exert his full Power. The difficulty was on a completely different level from Nine Yang, far beyond what could be compared to an ordinary Tier Four Magical Treasure.

He was faced with a task of unprecedented difficulty.

The first thing Yang Jing did was move the Spirit Vein on Canghe Island.

The amount of Magical Power required to refine the body was colossal. Even though Yang Jing had reached the Nascent Soul Realm, he could not possibly sustain it alone. He had to rely on a Spirit Vein and set up a Grand Array to power the furnace.

Using an Array to channel Spiritual Qi for Artifact Refining was far more difficult than using one’s own Magical Power. Most Artifact Refiners would only resort to this method when refining components that were extremely large and demanded immense Magical Power but weren’t technically difficult to make, such as the Dragon Bone of a Flying Boat.

Although this greatly increased the demands on Yang Jing’s Artifact Refining skills, it at least eliminated the possibility of failure due to running out of Magical Power midway through the process.

Besides, with Yang Jing’s mastery of Arrays, mobilizing the Spiritual Qi of the Grand Array was much easier for him than for those Artifact Refiners who only had a rudimentary understanding of how to use them.

The Grand Array to be established here was no ordinary one, and its cost was immense. Naturally, Yang Jing wasn’t about to pay for it out of his own pocket, so he sent a Spirit Talisman to summon Nine Marvels.

"I was starting to think you’d forgotten all about my body."

Nine Marvels said with a hint of sarcasm, maneuvering the Divine Body he was currently using. He had enemies in the Central Continent, so he naturally didn’t dare to leave the Nine Marvels Small Realm for long.

For the past two years, every day had felt like an eternity for him in the Nine Marvels Small Realm. He waited and waited, but there was no word from Yang Jing. Instead, he heard through the Nine Marvels Sect that Yang Jing was making a name for himself at sea, even slaying several Demon Saints. He was absolutely livid.

"Senior Nine Marvels, my Magical Power is insufficient to support the refining of your body," Yang Jing explained calmly. "So I had to occupy Canghe Island and use its Tier Four Upper Grade Spirit Vein as a foundation."

Nine Marvels sized up Canghe Island and nodded in satisfaction.

"If you were short a Spirit Vein, you could have just found one in the Nine Marvels Sect. If there’s one thing the Nine Marvels Sect has in abundance, it’s Spirit Veins."

He hadn’t hidden his attempt to have a body refined from the Nine Marvels Sect. Because his seniority was so high, even though some of the Nine Marvels Sect Elders had their doubts, they were overruled.

After all, even with a new body, Nine Marvels could still control the Nine Marvels Creation Tripod. Furthermore, if Nine Marvels could take action outside the Nine Marvels Small Realm, it would actually increase the Nine Marvels Sect’s Power.

In fact, Nine Marvels hadn’t even come alone today; he was escorted by two Divinity Transformation Cultivators and seven Nascent Soul True Monarchs.

But Nine Marvels found them too fussy and had them wait outside the island.

Yang Jing shook his head.

"According to the Creation Scripture, refining an Earth Puppet requires extracting the Spiritual Mechanism of an entire area. If we did this within the Nine Marvels Sect, I’m afraid it would create a dead zone and might even cause the Sect Protection Array to malfunction or develop weaknesses."

"After I moved it, the Spirit Vein on Canghe Island has been completely severed from any others. No matter how much the Earth Puppet draws, the worst that can happen is that Canghe Island will be drained into a dead island," Yang Jing explained to Nine Marvels.

"This act harms the natural balance of the world. It is only because you, Senior Nine Marvels, possess the Mediation Creation Great Divine Techniques and can refine a Spiritual Object like a Spiritual Eye to recreate the Spirit Vein and bring a dead land back to life. Otherwise, I would never dare to refine an Earth Puppet for you."

Nine Marvels nodded, his expression grave.

Annihilating a region’s Spirit Vein would incur a level of karmic sin that not even a Demon Cultivator would dare to bear lightly. The slightest mistake would bring a Celestial Tribulation down upon them.

Yang Jing’s decision to limit the impact to a single island was indeed a prudent one.

If they had attempted the refining process within the Nine Marvels Sect, the Celestial Tribulation, Earthly Calamity, and Human Calamity would likely have descended all at once halfway through. Even a top-tier Major Sect like the Nine Marvels Sect would have faced the danger of annihilation.

However, the thought of having to refine a Tier Four Spiritual Eye made Nine Marvels’s heart ache. The amount of Spiritual Qi needed to refine a Spiritual Eye Object far exceeded that of other Spiritual Objects.

A single Tier Four Spiritual Eye was equivalent to over a dozen Tier Five Spiritual Materials.

The Spirit Stones he had accumulated from having Yang Jing refine Tier Four Magical Treasures would probably be completely wiped out in one fell swoop.

But if he gave up now, all his previous investments would be wasted. The sunk cost was simply too great. Nine Marvels could only grit his teeth and continue to invest, refining all the Spiritual Objects on Yang Jing’s list in one go.

Once the Spiritual Materials were ready, Yang Jing immediately fired up the furnace and began refining. He forged the Array Discs and Array Banners needed for the Array Formation one by one, then ordered Iron Head to set up the Array on the island.

The Divinity Transformation Cultivator from the Nine Marvels Sect who had accompanied them was also a grandmaster of Artifact Refining. He had initially been quite critical of Nine Marvels for not seeking out one of the Sect’s own Artifact Refiners, instead finding some unknown Nascent Soul cultivator from the Western Continent.

But after seeing the Array Banners and Array Discs that Yang Jing refined, his discontent vanished in an instant.

"This Nine Spirits Returning Fire Artifact Refining Grand Array... I thought it was perfect and couldn’t be improved, but I never expected such modifications were possible!" the Divinity Transformation Cultivator exclaimed in amazement. "With these changes, although the required Spiritual Qi has increased by thirty percent, its controllability has increased by a full seventy percent. It can even be used to refine Tier Three Magical Treasures now."

For an Artifact Refiner, one of the greatest difficulties in refining Magical Treasures was the consumption of Magical Power. Even with the help of natural spiritual fires like Earth Fire, refining a Magical Treasure consumed a huge amount of Magical Power, forcing them to rely on Spirit Pills to recover.

After refining a single Magical Treasure, they would have to rest for several months to purge the Elixir Poison, meaning they couldn’t refine very many items in a year.

’Now, with this improved Nine Spirits Returning Fire Artifact Refining Grand Array, won’t the Sect’s Artifact Refiners be able to refine artifacts continuously, as long as their Divine Sense can hold out?’

A flash of inspiration struck the Divinity Transformation Cultivator.

At that same moment, all the Golden Core Cultivators in the Nine Marvels Sect who were skilled in Artifact Refining suddenly felt their hearts pound with terror, as if a great calamity was about to befall them.

After the Nine Spirits Returning Fire Grand Array was set up, Yang Jing spent another month adjusting and calibrating it before finally speaking to Nine Marvels.

"Senior Nine Marvels, everything is ready. If you would take out the Divine Body and place it in the furnace, I can begin refining your new body."

Suppressing his excitement, Nine Marvels flicked his finger, and the sealed Divine Body flew out.

Yang Jing gave the Divine Body—with which he had once fought a battle to the death—a complicated look, then lifted the lid of the Celestial Spirit Eight Trigrams Furnace and tossed it inside.

Ah Guoshami had only been sealed, not killed. Upon entering the Celestial Spirit Eight Trigrams Furnace, he immediately awoke.

In his memory, he had just been sealed within the Demon Moon by some bizarre technique of Yang Jing’s.

"Yang Jing! You couldn’t hold me after all! Where is this? Come out and face me! Let’s finish our battle to the death!"

Ah Guoshami roared from within the furnace chamber. A dazzling white light flared in his palm as he prepared to strike.

Yang Jing sighed. With a surge of Magical Power, he conjured a Five-Colored Lock Chain inside the furnace, which instantly bound Ah Guoshami’s body.

An enemy who in the past he could barely restrain even with all his techniques could now be suppressed with a mere turn of his hand.
