efit of joining a sect. With elders supporting your cultivation, you can save a lot of energy and time that would be spent figuring things out on your own at the beginning. The early stage of cultivat...In the spirit realm, Lu Ye rose to his feet and once again came before the Heavenly Opportunity Pillar. This time, however, he wasn't here to buy anything.

...but he wants to upgrade his Pianshan Blade instead.

The Panshan Dao is currently an intermediate-grade spiritual tool restricted by eighteen prohibitions. It was only promoted from a low-grade to an intermediate-grade tool a few months ago.

However, Lu Ye's cultivation has been progressing rapidly recently. Since entering the Yunhe Battlefield, in just under five months, he has reached the level of the fourth layer of the Yunhe realm.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

Now that he has enough skill, he is qualified to wield even higher quality artifacts.

Under normal circumstances, Lingxi Realm cultivators use inferior spiritual tools. When they reach the Yunhe Realm, they can switch to mid-grade ones. Around the fifth level of the Yunhe Realm, they can replace them with high-grade spiritual tools. As for top-grade spiritual tools, those are generally used by Zhenhu Realm cultivators. Above that are artifacts.

Although Lu Ye's cultivation level was one level lower than the fifth-level realm, it wasn't much of a hindrance.

Since I've been idle lately and don't need to fight with anyone, this free time is perfect for upgrading the grade of my Panshan Blade. That way, I won't have time to do it later on.

Inside the Heavenly Machine Treasury, Lu Ye softly whispered: "Commission, spiritual artifact refinement!"

I've done this kind of thing before, so I know the process.

As soon as the voice fell, the scenery changed, and I appeared in a small room. The room was empty except for a table in front of me.

Then Lu Ye waited here.

He commissioned an artisan to upgrade his spirit tool. The process requires a free artisan to accept the commission, then negotiate prices, conditions and deadlines. If no artisan accepts, he'll have to wait.

For cultivators in the Nine Provinces, this method is undoubtedly convenient. They don't need to go through the trouble of finding a refiner. They just need to rely on the Heavenly Machine Treasure Repository to accomplish it.

It's not just about enhancing existing spirit tools, you can also commission custom-made spirit tools and refine various elixirs.

Therefore, as long as one has a special skill, it is not difficult to earn merits. Those cultivators who specialize in refining artifacts and alchemy do not even need to fight with others. They only need to accept various commissions in the Heavenly Machine Treasure House to earn enough merits to meet their own cultivation needs.

There were quite a few blacksmiths in the Heavenly Fortune Treasury who took on jobs like this. Lu Ye only waited for a moment, and the space before him twisted. A figure emerged from it.

She looked up and saw that the person was not very old, around thirty years old. Her skin was white and tender, her appearance was charming, and she wore a close-fitting floral dress that outlined her graceful curves.

Lu Ye was surprised.

As soon as she thought about it, she remembered what had happened a few months ago.

After all, not many people are willing to spend a lot of resources to upgrade inferior spirit tools. Most cultivators simply swap them directly and don't waste much merit.

"Several months, and he's already being promoted again How could this kid be progressing so fast" The woman muttered to herself.

Although she couldn't see Lu Ye's face clearly, just from the Pianshan Sword in his hand, the woman could already guess some things.

"Senior" The woman still asked in that aged voice. Just from the sound of her voice, one might think she was a centenarian, but in reality, she was a woman with an undeniable charm.

"Yes."

"What requirements"

Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!

Shape and length remain unchanged, twenty-seven restrictions, solid enough, weight double it.

OK, what's your price

Li Ye pondered, the last time Pan Shan Dao was promoted from inferior to middle grade, it cost 2,000 points of merit. This time, promoting from middle to superior grade would definitely cost even more.

After a moment's thought, he opened his mouth and said, "Five thousand military merits."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The woman raised an eyebrow and a smile played on her lips. She was obviously pleased with the price, mainly because she hadn't expected such a generous offer from a young man of only Cloud River Realm.

Please let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

He said, "At the very least, eight thousand merits are needed to advance from a mid-grade to a high-grade. It takes a lot of materials, and I need to buy all those."

Lü Ye just watched her. If he didn't have the privilege bestowed by his Heavenly Mandate, to see through a woman's expression, he would have thought what she said was reasonable. But since he had seen through the other party's changes in expression, how could Lü Ye not know that the five thousand meritorious deeds he had opened were a bit too high

This woman, she's probably treating herself as a sucker.

Upon closer consideration, I realize that because my achievements came easily, I've been quite extravagant with them, not feeling any pain when spending. If it were any other Yunhe Realm cultivator, even something requiring a few thousand merit points would be carefully considered.

"Well, I don't have that many achievements anyway."

>

"It's not impossible to discuss it," the woman hurriedly said.

"Four Thousand Achievements"

"What did you say" The woman's eyebrows jumped.

"I only seem to have four thousand merits."

"Boy, are you mocking me" The woman's face darkened. "Five thousand military merits upfront, take the sword in three days, and sign the Heavenly Decree contract if you succeed!"

He decided secretly that the next time he wanted to upgrade the Pianshan Blade, he would let someone else set the price first and then observe their reaction before slowly negotiating.

The woman immediately summoned the celestial oracle and drew up a number of clauses. Lu Ye checked them carefully to ensure there were no errors, and both parties signed the contract.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"In three days!" The woman left a sentence and her figure quickly disappeared.

As it seemed, everything in the Heavenly Machine Treasury had a source, just as he had thought before. He had previously bought out all the Earthfire, and now that several more appeared, someone must have collected Earthfire from somewhere and sold it to the Heavenly Machine Treasury.

It seems like I'll have to drop by from time to time in the future. You never know, I might stumble upon something interesting.

In this blessed place, there's the Heavenly Pillar of Destiny. Doing this won't require much effort at all.

As Xin Shen retreated from the Heavenly Machine Treasury, Lu Ye turned around, a hint of a smile playing on his lips.

Although Lu Ye had become acquainted with a few of the demon wolves recently, most of them ignored him. This wasn't just directed at him; aside from Giant Shell, none of the demon wolves had shown any friendliness towards anyone else.

Especially the alpha, that guy is the most arrogant. He usually doesn't even bother looking at Lu Ye and the others.

But here it waits, with a whole pack of wolves.

Beside the alpha wolf was a demon wolf with sharp, piercing patterns. To stand shoulder to shoulder with the alpha like this was undoubtedly an honor. It hadn't had that privilege before.

And it seemed rather pleased with itself, even having some fresh blood at the corner of its mouth.

This clearly looks like the posture of winning a fight with companions!

Lu Ye immediately reacted to what was going on.

"Do you also desire that special ability"

The alpha wolf lowered its head slightly, its meaning clear.

A single, simple, sharp spirit pattern can increase a demon wolf's bite force by at least 30 to 40 percent. Such an increase naturally excites all the demon wolves.

This is also the reason why the alpha wolf is leading his pack here waiting for Lu Ye.

Lü Ye was a little surprised by this situation. He had originally planned to find a few other wolf demons familiar with him to continue practicing his skills on them.

Now it's a lot easier, people come to me instead of the other way around. Naturally, the results are different when they take the initiative.

A hundred wolves were present in the pack. If he could tattoo each demon wolf, Lu Ye would be able to accumulate more experience and insights, which he found quite pleasing.

After a moment's thought, he took out a monster core from his storage space and held it before the wolf's face: "Take this in exchange!"

The wolf pack hunts every few days, reaping not only fresh flesh but also some demon cores. However, those demon cores are digested by the wolves themselves.

Not only does Hupo like the demon pill, but all demon beasts like to consume the demon pills of other demon beasts. This allows them to grow more quickly, especially if they consume demon pills from a beast with a compatible attribute. The boost a demon beast receives from a compatible demon pill is significant.
