Following that, everyone plundered the spiritual items that they could bring with them.
A few days later, outside the mine.
Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, and Shen Daoming watched as Xu Qianhe placed the last array flag.
In an instant, the crimson gold mine that was originally surging with spiritual rays instantly became ordinary.
From afar, it looked like an ordinary hill.
Shen Daoming looked at Xu Qianhe and said, "Elder Xu, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to guard here for a period of time.
When Ancestor and the others return, I'll let others take over your position."
After some discussion, Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Daoming, and the others finally decided to let Xu Qianhe, who was proficient in array formations, be in charge of guarding here temporarily.
As for the spirit vein in Canyon City, after Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, and the others returned to the White Jade Market, Shen Daoyuan would be sent there.
Xu Qianhe said with a smile,
"Don't worry. With me here, unless I die, nothing will happen to this mine."
They chatted a little while longer before Shen Daoming, Jiang Chengxuan, and the others bade farewell to Xu Qianhe and left.
This time, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were not in a hurry to return to the White Jade Market. Instead, they returned to Splendid Jade Mountain with Shen Daoming.
Over there, the two of them used the family contribution points they obtained from this operation to exchange for some things.
Jiang Chengxuan exchanged for a few Level 2 five-element spells, some medicinal pills that could increase the cultivation speed of the mid-stage Foundation Establishment Realm, and some Level 2 talisman-making materials.
As for Shen Ruyan, other than buying a low-grade Level 3 offensive talisman, she exchanged all her contribution points for weapon refinement materials.
Even so, the materials she needed seemed to be insufficient.
Together with Jiang Chengxuan, she went to the markets of the other sects nearby before she barely gathered the materials she needed.
This also made Jiang Chengxuan very curious about what his Dao companion wanted to refine.
Shen Ruyan didn't keep him in suspense and told Jiang Chengxuan that what she was going to refine next was a Level 3 Dharma treasure embryo.
After she broke through to the Violet Palace Realm in the future, this Dharma treasure embryo would also become one of her personal treasures.
As everyone knew, after a cultivator broke through to the Violet Palace Realm, they could try to refine their own treasure.
At that time, their weapons were no longer considered Dharma artifacts, but Dharma treasures.
A Dharma treasure embryo was a state between a Dhrama treasure and a Dhrama artifact.
It was neither a Dharma treasure nor a Dharma artifact. However, its power was stronger than Dharma artifacts and weaker than Dharma treasures.
In addition, it also had some of the functions of Dharma treasures.
For example, the cultivator could absorb it into his dantian to nourish it. ๐๐ช๐๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ฎxt.๐ธ๐๐
Once the cultivator broke through to the Violet Palace Realm, he could try to turn it into a true Dharma treasure.
In short, it was impossible to refine such a thing without sufficient resources and corresponding weapon refinement cultivation.
At this moment, the couple had already returned to the White Jade Market.
After confirming that nothing had happened during this period, Shen Ruyan immediately decided to start refining her Dharma treasure embryo.
This time, she invited Jiang Chengxuan to watch from the side.
In the future, after Jiang Chengxuan broke through to the Violet Palace Realm, he would also need to refine his own treasure. It was best not to rely on others.
Therefore, apart from refining her own Dharma treasure embryo, she was also prepared to teach Jiang Chengxuan the corresponding refining method.
Jiang Chengxuan had never thought that Shen Ruyan knew how to refine weapons.
Now that she mentioned it, it confirmed some of his guesses.
Otherwise, it was impossible for a person to change so much in such a short period of time.
As if she could tell what Jiang Chengxuan was thinking, she turned to look at him and smiled.
"Husband, I've said before that there are some things that I'll tell you when the time is right. You just need to know that I'm me. I've just awakened some memories that should belong to me."
As expectedโฆ
Hearing this, Jiang Chengxuan was even more certain of his guess.
This Dao companion of his should be a big shot in the cultivation world in her previous life. The current her had retrieved some memories of her previous life.
However, the only thing that puzzled Jiang Chengxuan was that if his Dao companion was really a big shot in his previous life, why would she be willing to become his Dao companion?
Just as this thought flashed through his mind, Shen Ruyan suddenly said,
"Don't overthink, husband. I know that you and I are the same kind of people. On this long path to immortality, only you and I can continue walking hand in hand."
Jiang Chengxuan was shocked.
What did she mean by the same kind of people? Could it be that Ruyan had also seen through something?
Shen Ruyan smiled and continued, "No matter what, since you and I are already Dao companions, we should treat each other sincerely.
However, this doesn't mean that we can't have our own secrets. At least for now. What do you think?"
As she spoke, she looked deeply into Jiang Chengxuan's eyes.
Jiang Chengxuan's heart skipped a beat before he smiled and nodded.
"Wife, you're right. I understand."
After that, the two of them stopped talking about this topic and focused on the Dharma treasure embryo that Shen Ruyan was going to refine this time.
Shen Ruyan said, "The Dharma treasure embryo I'm going to refine this time is called the Thunderbolt Lightning Fire Sword.
As you know, I have a lightning spiritual root. It's most suitable for me to use lightning-element Dharma treasures.
Therefore, the Thunderbolt Lightning Fire Sword I'm going to refine this time is naturally a lightning-element Dharma treasure. However, it will also be infused with some fire essence to increase its lethality."
She started telling Jiang Chengxuan how to refine weapons from scratch.
It had to be said that Shen Ruyan's understanding of weapon refinement was really profound.
In just a few months, Jiang Chengxuan had gained a basic understanding of weapon refinement.
Moreover, under Shen Ruyan's personal guidance, he could successfully refine some basic materials.
At this moment, the system's voice suddenly sounded in Jiang Chengxuan's mind.
[Ding! An achievement mission has been issued. Host, please complete 100 refinements of basic materials.]
[Current Progress: 6%]
