C279 A Hidden Danger

When Lin Cheng thought of the astonishing density of the Spiritual Qi in the courtyard, he couldn't help but have a thought. Could it be that besides the defensive formation, there was another formation similar to the Spirit-cohering Array in the courtyard?

This thought flashed across Lin Cheng's mind, and he couldn't help but be speechless. In order to concoct pills, not only did this old man prepare a large amount of precious herbs, he even set up two formations. This was really not a small amount of money!

Although Lin Cheng had never come into contact with formations before, he had heard of them before. The arrangement of array formations required Array Flag, and refining Array Flag was not that easy. At the same time, the ingredients that could be used to refine an Array Flag were also extremely precious.

In this courtyard, there were two array formations the moment they appeared. Even if it was just a level one array formation, it would definitely consume a great deal of energy!

This caused Lin Cheng to be secretly puzzled. He did not know what the purpose of this old man was. What Lin Cheng was certain of was that this old man had no interest in refining any pill.

Although he was puzzled, Lin Cheng did not have much time to think about it. This was because the old man did not give him much time to rest. As long as he recovered from his injuries... The old man immediately asked him to continue concocting pills, and repeated the process.

Even when he ate, the old man would give him a few pills to replace his meal, just so that he wouldn't waste any time.

Boom!

Lin Cheng was sent flying once again.

Finally, after two days, Lin Cheng was sent flying again and again, but the old man didn't stop.

And in these repetitive repetitions, Lin Cheng's Spirit Power became purer and purer, and the strength of his body also gradually increased. It was as if he had been repeatedly tempered, and he had benefited a lot from it.

At the same time, Lin Cheng finally realized the purpose of the old man - this old man was not refining the ___, but the alchemy furnace!

This was because every time Lin Cheng refined the Spirit Power, he could feel that the Spirit Power that the old man struck out when he was dividing the Spirit Power was different.

Although he could not see the finger technique of the old man clearly, Lin Cheng could feel that every time the old man struck out a Spirit Power, there would be a slight difference.

He finally realized that the reason why the old man did not care about what kind of pill he was refining was to test the effectiveness of the alchemy furnace. Or rather, it was to improve the alchemy furnace.

Refining!

This thought suddenly popped up in Lin Cheng's mind.

Immediately, he became more and more certain of his guess. This old man wasn't refining pills, he was refining weapons... What he was refining was this tall alchemy furnace in front of him!

Every time Lin Cheng refined a pill, it was actually only to help the old man verify the effects of the alchemy furnace. As for what kind of pill he refined, whether it was three or five revolutions, Energy-returning Pill or Spirit Pill, the old man did not care at all.

That was why the old man would suddenly make a move at the crucial moment of splitting the pills. Not only did he interrupt Lin Cheng's concoction, he also destroyed a cauldron of medicinal liquid, which meant a large amount of precious medicinal ingredients.

So, this old man was an Artifact-refining Master!

Understanding this point, Lin Cheng felt relieved. All of his doubts could be explained in an instant.

"Senior, are you refining a weapon?"

Another day passed. After Lin Cheng recovered from his injuries, the old man did not urge him to continue concocting pills. Instead, he looked at the alchemy furnace and remained silent. Seeing this, Lin Cheng could not help but ask.

The old man looked at him but did not say anything. It was a silent agreement.

Lin Cheng hesitated for a moment before asking again, "Senior, I heard that refining artifacts is the same as refining pills. The moment the refinement is successful, the quality and grade of the equipment has already been determined. Why did senior repeatedly verify it?"

"Who told you that artifact forging is the same as pill refining?" The old man replied with a question.

"Uh, I heard about it." Lin Cheng said.

"Hmph! This is ridiculous!"

The old man seemed to be extremely dissatisfied with Lin Cheng's words, and his face couldn't help but sink. He coldly snorted, "If artifact forging is the same as pill forging, then the quality and grade of the equipment is determined. Then why did an ancient mighty figure use an ordinary piece of metal to cultivate a Divine Weapon or Magic Treasure that possesses shocking intelligence and divine abilities? "

Lin Cheng was speechless, not knowing how to reply.

"There is no end to forging weapons!"

The old man said proudly, "A truly powerful Artifact-refining Master can improve for the rest of its life. It can even repeatedly refine an ordinary weapon, and eventually refine it into a shockingly powerful magic treasure. How can it be the same as a pill?"

Lin Cheng could not help but be startled when he heard this. He seemed to have understood something.

"Alright, you've also paid quite a bit over the past few days. Your mission ends here." The old man seemed to have lost interest in continuing the conversation. He casually tossed out a small Storage Bag. " These few Spirit Stones are your rewards. You can go back now."

Lin Cheng was stunned and could not help but ask, "It ended just like that?"

The old man didn't answer. He just waved his hand, but the meaning was clear.

He didn't expect it to end just like that. Lin Cheng was slightly surprised, and then a sense of loss arose in his heart.

It had been nearly ten days since he arrived here. Although he rarely talked to the old man, and he had been very bored during this period of time, Lin Cheng had gained a lot.

The spiritual energy here was rich. Not only did Lin Cheng feel that his body's strength had increased, but he also felt that his body's strength had also increased. The Spirit Power in his body had become much purer, and the spiritual sense was even stronger than when he was at the First Level of Core Sea Stage. In addition to his character, he was able to endure loneliness. He felt like a fish in water in this place.

More importantly, although he couldn't clearly see the old man's finger technique, he could still feel the profoundness behind it. After repeating it over and over again, Lin Cheng had received a lot of enlightenment, and he even had a vague understanding of it.

He believed that if this continued, it wouldn't be long before his own finger technique could be improved.

Furthermore, the Sea of Spirit Power in his Dantian was also surging with waves, becoming more and more vigorous and vast. This indicated that his overall strength had increased by a large margin.

However, he never expected that the old man would actually want him to leave at this time.

However, Lin Cheng also understood that this was only a mission. Not only had he benefited a lot from it, the old man had also given him a reward. There was no reason for him to stay here any longer.

However... Lin Cheng felt somewhat unwilling in his heart.

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Cheng finally spoke, "Senior, this disciple is willing to forgo any reward. I hope that I can continue to stay here and assist senior."

"There's no need for that!"

The old man looked at Lin Cheng with a hint of loneliness in his eyes. He shook his head and said, "This pill furnace has failed. I have already decided to destroy it."

"Destroy it?"

Lin Cheng was stunned. Immediately, a wave of respect arose in his heart. If he couldn't refine a perfect tool, he would rather destroy it. This old man's disposition made him respect him.

"Then... disciple will take his leave." Lin Cheng knew that he could not stay any longer, so he nodded and cupped his fists towards the old man.

"Kid, you are not bad!"

The old man suddenly said, "Although your bone structure is not good, you have extraordinary perseverance. Among all the disciples who accepted this task, you were the one who lasted the longest. Oh! The cultivation technique you cultivate seems to be very good as well, so your recovery ability is very strong. However, you still need to be careful since your breakthrough isn't thorough enough."

Hearing this, Lin Cheng couldn't help but be startled, "Breakthrough isn't thorough enough? Senior, what do you mean...?"

"Your Dantian is still there. Don't tell me you didn't notice it?" The old man asked.

"Dantian?"

Lin Cheng was puzzled. "Senior, this disciple doesn't understand. Is there something wrong with this disciple's Dantian?"

"What you said is inappropriate!"

The old man shook his head and said, "When did you hear other cultivator mention Dantian?"

Lin Cheng was startled, and then his expression changed, and he said in astonishment, "Senior, are you saying that the other cultivator no longer have Dantian?"1

"What is Dan Tian transforming into a sea? If the Dantian is still there, how can it transform into a sea?"

The old man shook his head, "Your Dantian is still there, but it can form the Sea of Spirit Power. That's lucky, but the existence of this Dantian... It will limit the expansion of your Sea of Spirit Power. The higher your realm is, the more powerful your Sea of Spirit Power will become. At that time, the limitation you will face will be greater! "

Lin Cheng's facial expression changed dramatically. He had never thought that the existence of his Dantian would be because his breakthrough was not thorough enough!

When he broke through to the Core Sea Stage, he shattered his dantian. Then, because of the unusual movement of the Black Iron Chunk, all of his attention was focused on fighting with the Black Iron Chunk for the spiritual energy. Finally, the Sea of Spirit Power was formed. He thought that he had successfully broken through. As for the restoration of his dantian... He also thought that it was normal.

However, at this moment, he finally understood that turning his Dantian into an ocean required his Dantian to completely disappear and transform into the Sea of Spirit Power. From this point of view, it was true that his breakthrough was not thorough enough.

Why did this happen?

Lin Cheng immediately thought of the Black Iron Chunk. It must be because of the unusual movement of the Black Iron Chunk, causing his breakthrough to not be thorough enough. This caused him to curse the Black Iron Chunk countless times in his heart.

According to what the old man said, if the breakthrough wasn't thorough enough, it would severely limit the improvement of his Cultivation Level. If the Sea of Spirit Power couldn't be expanded, it would mean that the Cultivation Level couldn't be improved, so how could he break through?

"Senior, when I broke through to the Second Level of Core Sea Stage, I found out that the Sea of Spirit Power has indeed expanded. Besides, I didn't sense any signs of it being restricted." Lin Cheng couldn't help but ask.

"This might be because your cultivation base is too low, and the Sea of Spirit Power has yet to reach its limit. However, as your cultivation base increases, there will be a day when you reach your limit." The old man said.

"This..."

Lin Cheng was a little anxious. Didn't this mean that the realm he could reach was already determined? He asked hastily, "Senior, if this disciple destroys his Dantian again, can this hidden danger be solved?"

This time, the old man didn't answer immediately. Instead, he frowned slightly and revealed a thoughtful expression.

After a moment, he shook his head and said, "I have never encountered such a situation before. So I am unable to answer you with certainty. Besides, you'd better not try it so easily. You should know the risk of shattering your own dantian. Once something unexpected happens, not only will your dantian collapse... Even the Sea of Spirit Power that you have formed will lose control. You should understand the consequences! "

Lin Cheng couldn't help but feel disappointed.
