    “Artifacts Pce? Refining mes Pce?”


    Qin Yu felt that his heart had jumped ferociously. He was already able to guess the status the master of the Bewitching God Temple possessed in the Divine Realm. The treasure storage left behind by such a person, oh how astonishing that would be?


    “The pce across from the Front Pce is the Artifacts Pce. The pce to the left of the courtyard is the Transfer Pce. To the right is the Refining mes Pce.” Uncle Fu exined as he pointed at the three pces.


    Qin Yu looked to the three pces.


    The entrance of the Transfer Pce was wide open. It ought to be very easy to enter it. However, the entrances of the Artifacts Pce and the Refining mes Pce werepletely shut.


    “My master’s ability to create artifacts could be regarded as the best in the entire Divine Realm. The Refining mes Pce is the ce where my master would generally create artifacts. Inside the Refining mes Pce is the Refining Mastery that my master had left behind. There are also many instruments that my master used to create artifacts.” Uncle Fu said while smiling.


    Qin Yu’s gaze immediately turned zing as he looked to the Refining mes Pce.


    Qin Yu understood very well that regardless of whether it was the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm, the Divine Realm or the Mortal Realm, they were all locations where one’s strength determines one’s status. In a world where those with strength prevail... the status of a master who possessed the greatest ability to create weapons and artifacts, its exaltedness was something one could easily imagine.


    Chehou Yuan had also said that there were even Godking level experts that hade to him to ask him to assist them in creating Grandmist Spiritual Treasures. Chehou Yuan, his craftsmanship ability had reached such a level where even Godkings havee to ask for his help, the status that Chehou Yuan possessed was well imaginable.


    “If I were to learn this ability to create artifacts, then it’d likely be a lot easier for me to take Li’er as my wife.” Qin Yu’s heart grew excited. Qin Yu also knew that even if he were to obtain the Forging Mastery, he would still have to spend arge amount of time in order to be a Forging Master. However, if he didn’t have the Forging Mastery... then no matter how hard he tried, it’d still be very difficult for him to achieve major aplishments in the field of refining and creating artifacts.


    After all, the statuses of peak experts of all skills and trades were not something that one could reach with merely effort. There was also the need for Heavenly Resources!


    Uncle Fu continued. “Although there are not many treasures in the Refining mes Pce, contained within it is my master’s Forging Mastery. Thus, it can be considered the most important ce in the entire Bewitching God Temple. There are two requirements for one to be able to open the Refining mes Pce.”


    “What are they?” Qin Yu blurted out.


    Even someone as calm as Qin Yu was unable to resist his thirst for the Forging Mastery.


    “My master once said that only his disciple would be qualified to seed the Refining mes Pce. Thus, of the two requirements to open the Refining mes Pces, the first one is.... for one’s True me to be at the ‘White Pure me’ level!” Said Uncle Fu with a light smile.


    “White Pure me?” Qin Yu was stunned. He only recovered after a short moment. “What level me is the White Pure me?”


    Uncle Fu exined. “Generally, the True me of Deities are ‘ck Divine mes.’ As for experts at the Heavenly Deity level, their body’s True me is the ‘White Pure me.’ In order to learn my master’s refining techniques, merely the requirement to be a disciple is that one’s True me must be White Pure me.”


    ‘The requirement to be a disciple is that one’s True me must be White Pure me?’ Qin Yu felt bitter in his heart.


    Although the Forging Mastery of the Forging Master was extremely precious, the requirement one must meet in order to learn it was extremely astonishing. Fortunately his ‘Ster Transformation’ martial technique was also special. Qin Yu was only at the Origin Stage but his True me was already the ck Divine me.


    Qin Yu suddenly thought in his mind. “That Chehou Yuan said that the Bewitching God Temple would block the people from the Divine Realm from entering it. If one haven’t reach the Deity level, how would their body’s True me be at the White Pure me level?”


    Uncle Fu seemed to have guessed what Qin Yu thought. He continued. “My master had already anticipated that the True me of people from the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm cannot be the White Pure me. Thus, he had relocated an item from the Refining mes Pce to the Artifacts Pce.”


    Qin Yu started at Uncle Fu.


    “What’s in the Artifacts Pce?” Qin Yu asked.


    “The Artifacts Pce contains within it arge number of things. For example, there are precious forging materials. My master’s forging materials are all ced in the Artifacts Pce. At the same time, there are also some precious Heavenly Divine Artifacts and even a couple Acquired Grandmist Spiritual Treasures.” Said Uncle Fu solemnly.


    Even though he was already prepared, Qin Yu was still unable to refrain from looking at the Artifacts Pce again.


    Chehou Yuan’s forging materials? Precious Heavenly Divine Artifacts? Precious Acquired Grandmist Spiritual Treasures?


    “The Artifacts Pce is the storage of all kinds of treasures that my master possessed. It is still possible for you to obtain them.” Uncle Fu said while smiling. “There are a lot of things in the Artifacts Pce. At the same time, it is also very messy. There are also precious items like the Divine Spiritual Crystal Soul, machineries that my master has created and so on.”


    Qin Yu nodded.


    It would seem that practically all of the treasures of the Bewitching God Temple was hidden in the Artifacts Pce. As for the Refining mes Pce, it contained only the Forging Mastery as well as some forging tools.


    Qin Yu suddenly asked. “Uncle Fu, you’ve said that the master of the Bewitching God Temple had once transferred one item from the Refining mes Pce to the Artifacts Pce, what is that item?” Qin Yu had a premonition that this item that was transferred was no ordinary item.


    Uncle Fu smiled and said. “It was nine ‘Purple Origin me Beads.’”


    “Nine Purple Origin me Beads? What is a Purple Origin me Bead?” Qin Yu grew puzzled. He had never heard about something called Purple Origin me Bead.


    Uncle Fu exined. “The Purple Origin me Beads are nine me Beads birthed by the world. They could be considered as Innate Grandmist Spiritual Treasures.”


    ‘Since they’re Grandmist Spiritual Treasures, they most definitely won’t be inferior.’ That was what Qin Yu thought.


    “However, the Purple Origin me Beads are merely third-rated Grandmist Spiritual Treasures. If one were topare the preciousness, then they are inferior to even your High Quality Heavenly Divine Spear Waning Snow.” Said Uncle Fu with a light smile.


    Qin Yu nodded as if he had expected that.


    He knew that Grandmist Spiritual Treasures only meant that they contained within them Grandmist Spiritual Energy. Their strength was not necessarily higher than that of Heavenly Divine Artifacts. Furthermore, one must also consider as to what quality the Grandmist Spiritual Treasure was. A third-rated Grandmist Spiritual Treasure like this was nothing extraordinary.


    Uncle Fu’s tone suddenly changed. He said. “However, the nine Purple Origin me Beads have been re-made by my master. I do not know how my master did it, but he basicallybined all nine Purple Origin me Beads into one and increased their power by arge margin. At the same time, it turned into the core of the entire Bewitching God Temple.”


    “Core of the entire Bewitching God Temple?” Qin Yu suddenly thought of something.


    Uncle Fu nodded. “That’s right. In the past, these nine Purple Origin me Beads were located in the Refining me Pce. That was because when my master extract the fire energy from those me Beads, it allowed him to create artifacts more effortlessly. This time around, when my master left, he transferred these nine Purple Origin me Beads into the Artifacts Pce... As long as you can absorb these nine Purple Origin me Beads into your body, this entire Bewitching God Temple shall be yours.”


    Qin Yu was unable to refrain his joy. “This aspect is actually pretty simr to the Qingyu Immortal Mansion. The Qingyu Immortal Mansion also has an Elemental Spirit Essence Soul as its core. This Bewitching God Temple also possesses a core.”


    “My master once told me that it is hard to open the Refining mes Pce. However, if you are able to open the Artifacts Pce and obtain the nine Purple Origin me Beads, then you’ll have obtained the Bewitching God Temple. You would then be able to carry the Bewitching God Temple with you and open the Refining mes Pce when your strength grows stronger.” Said Uncle Fu.


    Qin Yu suddenly remembered something.


    “Uncle Fu, you said earlier that there are two major requirements to opening the Refining mes Pce. You’ve only said that the body’s True me must reach the White Pure me level. What is the second requirement?” Qin Yu suddenly asked.


    “The second one is truly difficult.” Uncle Fu sighed. “When your True me reached the White Pure me level, you’ll be able to open the entrance of the Refining mes Pce. However, after you enter the Refining mes Pce, you’ll encounter three great formation arrays. You must break through all three of the great formation arrays in order to obtain it. The second requirement is thus requiring you to achieve a very high level ofprehension toward the Divine Realm’s formation arrays and barriers.”


    Qin Yu was speechless.


    Formation arrays, barriers?


    Qin Yu knew that this was his biggest failing. That was because the time he had cultivated was truly too short. Formation arrays and barriers are things that required the most time to research.


    Furthermore, the requirement of the Refining mes Pce was to achieve a high levelprehension of the formation arrays and barriers of the Divine Realm. Yet currently, Qin Yu merely knew of some basic formation arrays and barriers of the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm.


    “What level is that Illusion Array outside of the Bewitching God Temple?” Qin Yu asked.


    “That? That’s only the lowest, the most basic of the Divine Realm’s Illusion Array. Qin Yu, think about it. As even you people from the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm were capable of entering into parts of this Divine Realm’s Illusion Array, just think about how low level that formation array is.” Said Uncle Fu indifferently. “That formation array was merely something that master had casually set up in order to prevent the people from the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm from bothering the Bewitching God Temple unceasingly.”


    Qin Yu took a deep breath. He startedughing. “Forget about it. I won’t think about the matters of opening the Refining mes Pce right now. Let me first open the Artifacts Pce.”


    Inside the courtyard, Qin Yu and Uncle Fu walked to the entrance of the Artifacts Pce.


    The entrance door of the Artifacts Pce was entirely dark red in color. This entrance door was not in a style of two opening doors. Instead, the only way to open this entrance door was to slowly lift it up to expose a tunnel leading to the Artifacts Pce.


    “My master once said before that the requirements to open this Artifacts Pce are not high at all. The first requirement is to find the mechanism of this entrance door through using Divine Awareness. The second requirement... once you’ve found the mechanism, I will tell you.” Uncle Fu looked to Qin Yu.


    Confidently, Qin Yu spread out his Divine Awareness.


    Qin Yu’s Divine Awareness covered the entire entrance door. It was carefully inspecting every single area of the entrance door.


    One time.


    No result at all.


    “Let me remind you, the mechanism is located above the entrance gate.” Said Uncle Fu indifferently.


    Qin Yu nodded. He then proceeded to search for it even more attentively, over and over. The entire entrance gate was merely that big. However, Qin Yu searched for the mechanism with his Divine Awareness several times back and forth to no avail.


    “Mn?” Qin Yu’s Divine Awareness was locked onto two locations toward the bottom of the entrance gate. Earlier, when his Divine Awareness passed through those two ces, he had felt that they were unusual.


    “What are these two ces for?” A Divine Sword appeared in Qin Yu’s hand. He struck those two ces with his Divine Sword. His Origin Energy had also passed through the Divine Sword and struck on those two ces.


    Suddenly...


    Cyan lights exploded outward from those two ces. At the same time, two protrusions appeared from those two ces.


    “Very good. You’ve aplished the first requirement to opening the Artifacts Pce. Originally I thought your soul’s level to be at the Golden Soul Pellet stage. However, it would appear that your soul has already reached the Embryo Soul stage.” Said Uncle Fu while smiling.


    Qin Yu looked to Uncle Fu in confusion.


    Embryo Soul?


    “Uncle Fu, you said that my soul has reached the Embryo Soul stage?” Qin Yu asked again.


    Uncle Fu said matter-of-factly. “As far as I know, in order to detect the hidden mechanism, one’s soul must reach a level close to that of a High Level Deities. In order to find the hidden mechanism in the door, one’s soul must reach the Embryo Soul stage. If you did not reach the Embryo Soul stage, then how could you have found the location of the mechanism?”


    Qin Yu nodded in understanding.


    “Could it be that this Uncle Fu is not a Heavenly Deity level expert?” Qin Yu grew puzzled.


    Qin Yu knew very well himself that his soul was merely at the Gold Soul Pellet stage. For him to be able to luckily find the location of the mechanism, it likely was because of the assistance from the Meteoric Tear that allowed his Soul’s Power to be even more sensitive.


    “If Uncle Fu was a Heavenly Deity level expert, he should be able to discover my soul’s level. However, he was unable to discover it... then he isn’t a Heavenly Deity. However, I am unable to detect Uncle Fu’s aura at all. Why is that the case?” Qin Yu grew puzzled.


    With Qin Yu’s current soul’s level, if he was a deity, Qin Yu would definitely be able to tell.


    Qin Yu was unable to refrain his confusion.


    “Qin Yu, as you’ve found this hidden mechanism, these two protrusions have also appeared. What you must do now is to grab these two protrusions with your hands and pull the entrance door up.” Said Uncle Fu.


    Qin Yu woke back up from his pondering.


    “Pull up the entire stone entrance door?” Confidently, Qin Yu walked to the two protrusions. These two protrusions were merely a foot taller than the ground. The distance between the two protrusions were just right for Qin Yu to grab onto them with his hands.


    Qin Yu grabbed the two protrusions and started pulling them.


    “Heeh!”


    Qin Yu shouted. The muscles in his arms immediately started bulging. However, the entrance door did not move in the slightest.


    “You can use both your body’s power as well as the energy within your body. It is all fine as long as you can open this entrance door.” Said Uncle Fu as he stood to the side.


    At this moment, Qin Yu was half squatting and grabbing firmly onto those two protrusions.


    Nine Steps Force, Gold Force, Origin Energy... Qin Yu poured all of his power into his hands. Qin Yu’s muscle’s strength had also burst forth to their limits. His face had also turned red.


    “Rise!”


    Qin Yu roared. This was the strongest power that Qin Yu possessed!


    Qin Yu’s muscles started to tremble. His muscles were clearly bulging. However, the entrance door merely slightly trembled and then stopped responding.


    “To be able to make the entrance door tremble, that means... once you increase your strength to three times the strength you possess now, you’ll be able to pull the entrance door uppletely.” Said Uncle Fu who stood to the side.


    Qin Yu was unable to help himself from letting go of the protrusions.


    “ording to the set up that my master had made, in order to open the main entrance door, one’s power must reach the Low Level Heavenly Deity level. In order to find the hidden mechanism, one’s soul must reach the Low Level Heavenly Deity level. My master had said... that at the very least, one must reach this level to be qualified to possess the Bewitching God Temple.” Said Uncle Fu slowly.


    “Low Level Heavenly Deity?” Qin Yu was shocked.


    His strength wasparable to one third of that of a Low Level Heavenly Deity?


    “Your soul’s level have reached the Embryo Soul. If you continue to train, you should be able to increase your strength to Low Level Heavenly Deity level.” Said Uncle Fu.


    Qin Yu was once again puzzled.


    “Uncle Fu, do you have a soul?” Qin Yu suddenly asked.


    Qin Yu was unable to think of a reason why he was unable to detect even the slightest amount of aura from Uncle Fu. There was only a single possibility... Uncle Fu does not have a soul. However, could a human not have a soul?


    Uncle Fu was unable to refrain from looking at Qin Yu with a shocked expression. He then calmed down and said with a smile. “You’ve found out? That’s right, I do not have a soul.”
