Wu Qian nodded slightly. Yang Qi's cultivation was too low, only a four-star martial master. If he was a high-level martial master, he would have a better chance of refining a pseudo-Dao soldier. However, it was almost impossible for a mid-level martial master to refine a pseudo-Dao soldier by relying on his own cultivation.
Although Yang Qi had seen Tang Qin and others use pseudo-Taoist soldiers when he was in the Purple Emperor Secret Realm, in fact, those pseudo-Taoist soldiers were only temporarily bestowed by the sect. They could only be simply refined and used with the help of the strong people in the sect.
If they were directly given a pseudo-Taoist weapon, they could only use it as a top-grade Yuan weapon at best. Because they could not refine it, they would not be able to bring out the power of the pseudo-Taoist weapon at all.
"What will happen if the refining fails?" Yang Qi looked at Wu Qian.
“If the refining fails, the young master will suffer backlash from the pseudo-Tao soldiers, and his foundation may be damaged.” Wu Qian said.
Damage to the foundation
Yang Qi frowned slightly. The most important thing for a cultivator is their foundation. Once the foundation is damaged, it is very difficult to recover, and it will also affect their cultivation. Therefore, cultivators are very concerned about their foundations. Unless it is absolutely necessary, they will never take the risk of damaging their foundations.
"It's just the foundation that is damaged. There's no threat to life. It's not a big deal." Yang Qi smiled calmly. At least the situation is not the worst.
After all, compared to falling, damage to the foundation is really not a big deal.
“Young Master, this is all my fault. If I had checked beforehand, I wouldn’t have…” Wu Qian said with a look of self-blame. Although Yang Qi’s life would not be in danger, his foundation was damaged, which would also affect his future achievements.
"Don't blame you, I was too careless." Yang Qi smiled and continued, "Besides, it's not like I absolutely have no chance of refining the Wordless Stele. I know that as long as I reach the Martial Honor Realm, I can refine the Pseudo-Taoist Soldier!"
Yes, once you reach the Martial Honor Realm you can refine pseudo-Taoist soldiers, but this is only in theory.
Not to mention that the preciousness of pseudo-Tao weapons is simply not something that a low-level Martial Master can possess. Even if they were to be refined, the chances of a low-level Martial Master succeeding are unimaginably low. Although Yang Qi has the cultivation base of a mid-level Martial Master, even so, his chances of refining pseudo-Tao weapons are not great.
If the refining had not started yet, Wu Qian could still use external force to help him refine it, but now Yang Qi had already started refining it, and Wu Qian could not intervene even if he wanted to help. If he forced his move, the backlash from the pseudo-Tao soldiers would make Yang Qi's injuries worse.
As a martial king, Wu Qian naturally knew this, and he understood that Yang Qi was comforting him and didn't want him to blame himself too much. But now Wu Qian couldn't help at all, and could only hope that Yang Qi could succeed, otherwise his foundation would be damaged, which would inevitably have some adverse effects on Yang Qi's future path of cultivation.
"Young Master, you must succeed!" Wu Qian said secretly in his heart.
Knowing that he couldn't get help from external forces, Yang Qi simply sat down cross-legged and continuously output his energy, preparing to refine the inscriptionless stele. However, the inscriptionless stele was like a bottomless pit, and the energy in his body was rapidly dissipating.
Twenty percent...
40%...
Sixty percent...
In less than a quarter of an hour, more than 60% of Yang Qi's energy had been lost. Although Yang Qi tried to take pills to restore his energy, the recovery speed was too slow and could not compare with the speed of loss.
"I already have 70% of my energy left, but there's still no reaction at all." Feeling that there was less than one-third of my energy left in my body, Yang Qi smiled bitterly in his heart.
The wordless monument now had no reaction at all, let alone refining! If it continued like this, I'm afraid that within a cup of tea, the energy in his body would be exhausted!
"The young master's energy is almost gone." As a powerful warrior at the Martial King level, Wu Qian had extremely sharp perceptions. He could clearly sense the large amount of energy draining from Yang Qi's body, and knew that Yang Qi's energy was probably almost gone at this moment.
"Old Master, please don't let the inscriptionless stele you left behind harm the young master."
Wu Qian said secretly in his heart that at this time he could only hope that Emperor Wu Shi had left behind some means that could prevent Yang Qi from damaging his foundation.
As time passed, the energy in Yang Qi's body became less and less, but the inscriptionless monument in front of him did not react at all and was still constantly absorbing the energy in Yang Qi's body.
“There is less than half of my energy left.” Yang Qi smiled bitterly in his heart. Looking at the reaction of the inscriptionless monument, the corner of his mouth twitched fiercely.
If this continues, he will not be able to refine the inscriptionless monument in front of him, and in the end his foundation will be damaged.
"I didn't expect that pseudo-Tao soldiers would be so difficult to refine."
Thinking back, I actually felt a little bit of joy when I learned about refining pseudo-Tao soldiers. How ridiculous that was! Objects related to Taoism are not something that an ordinary Martial Honored Person can peek into.
After a while, the energy in Yang Qi's body was finally completely exhausted. Just when Yang Qi thought that the refining had failed and the wordless monument was about to backfire on him, the wordless monument in front of him suddenly flashed a dazzling light, and then the wordless monument turned into a stream of light and directly merged into Yang Qi's body.
"Successful?"
Seeing this scene, Wu Qian's eyes lit up and he spoke hurriedly.
"It should be considered a success." Feeling the inscriptionless monument in the Yuan Mansion, Yang Qi said uncertainly with a pale face.
There was no sign of refining the Wordless Stele before, but when his Yuan Power was exhausted, the Wordless Stele actually merged directly into his body. However, now he did not have any Yuan Power at all, so naturally he could not activate the Wordless Stele in his body.
Hearing this, Wu Qian's face lit up, and then he saw Yang Qi, who looked pale, and couldn't help but ask, "Young Master, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, I just ran out of energy!"
Yang Qi shook his head slightly. If a practitioner with low cultivation had exhausted his energy, he would have fainted long ago. However, Yang Qi's body was strong, and he had the powerful recovery ability of the Phoenix Nirvana Body to support him. Even if his energy was exhausted, he only felt tired, and the impact was not too great.
"I'll recover first..."
Yang Qi was just about to take out the elixir to restore his energy when suddenly the entire Godless Temple began to shake violently, as if there was an earthquake.
Whoosh~
Wu Qian's figure flashed and he rushed out of the Godless Temple. After a moment, he rushed in again.
"Young Master, this alien space is about to collapse. We must leave immediately." Wu Qian said hurriedly.
Hearing this, Yang Qi's face changed. The alien space collapsed and everything in the space would be annihilated. Even a strong man in the Martial King Realm might be injured, not to mention Yang Qi in his current state.
Whoosh~
Wu Qian quickly wrapped Yang Qi with his energy, then he rushed out of the Godless Temple.
"Uncle Qian, put away the Godless Temple." Just as Wu Qian was about to tear through the space and leave, Yang Qi's voice suddenly came to his ears.
No temple
Wu Qian was stunned, but he still mobilized his energy and put away the Godless Temple.
Seeing Wu Qian put away the Godless Temple, Yang Qi smiled. The Godless Temple was able to be completely preserved in the ancient war. In terms of toughness, it is probably no less than the level of pseudo-Tao soldiers. It would be a waste if such a palace was destroyed along with the collapse of the alien space. (To be continued)
