It appeared that there were no Tier Three Refining Tool Masters available in the near future. However, Wang Hong remembered that he still had something else on hand that could be put to use now.

Many years ago, he had raised a batch of Tier Three Spirit Silkworms in his spatial realm. After years of cultivation, he had accumulated a large number of silkworm cocoons.

Now, he could extract the silk from these cocoons and weave them into a robe of law. Crafting such a robe with spirit silk was a somewhat obscure branch of refining tools.

Although Wang Hong hadn't personally done it before, he had previously borrowed books on this topic from the Qingxu Sect's library. He was familiar with the manufacturing process, but he didn't want to do it himself at the moment as it was too time-consuming.

Wang Hong took out some cocoons, and as for the silkworm pupae inside, he had already consumed them. The pupae formed by Tier Three Spirit Silkworms were a rare delicacy, whether deep-fried or grilled, and they were rich in Spiritual Energy, greatly beneficial to Golden Core cultivation.

He handed these cocoons over to Xu Lun, instructing him to arrange for people to produce them. He also gave Xu Lun a Jade Scroll containing a series of techniques for cocoon unwinding, silk weaving, and robe making.

Some of these techniques could be carried out by Mortals, and Xu Lun knew he could recruit Mortals from nearby villages for this purpose.

Robes made from Tier Three spirit silk, while functioning similarly to magic weapons, could also have formations embroidered on them, providing certain effects. This was a task that could be accomplished even by cultivators below the Golden Core level, though it did take some time.

After delegating the cocoon-related tasks, the next order of business was refining some magic weapons. Since none of his subordinates currently possessed the ability to refine magic weapons, Wang Hong had to do it himself to ensure their safety.

Their current security was temporary, and in case of a sudden battle, his Golden Core Cultivators would be at a disadvantage without magic weapons. However, the Tier Three materials he had obtained from his last trade weren't abundant.

To maximize the value of these materials, he harvested several Purple Cloud Mulberry trees, some Golden Ironwood, and a few Devilish Vines from his spatial realm. These materials, all of them thousands of years old, were top-tier for refining magic weapons.

It took Wang Hong a year to refine a total of ten magic weapons: three flying swords, three sets of bows and arrows, three Binding Spirit Ropes, and one shield.

With these ten magic weapons, at least ten of his Golden Core subordinates would have access to them, significantly boosting their combat abilities in the short term.

As for the Lifebound Magical Treasures of his Golden Core subordinates, they would have to refine them on their own when resources became more abundant. Lifebound Magical Treasures were rarely entrusted to others.

With one magic weapon each, the ten individuals together formed a formidable fighting force when coordinated.

Wang Hong sent a Transmission Talisman to summon Xu Lun. When Xu Lun saw the ten gleaming magic weapons that Wang Hong had brought out, his eyes widened. Although he was already a Golden Core Cultivator, he had never used a magic weapon before.

Seeing ten magic weapons all at once was a first in his life.

"Take these ten magic weapons down. This time, there's no need to exchange them for contribution points. They are temporarily allocated to the East Zhou Division for use. However, each person can only have one, and they should be used collectively by a group of ten in battle."

Wang Hong typically didn't require his subordinates to exchange contribution points for standardized weapons used in combat. Instead, he provided them as a unified resource.
Currently, the East Zhou Division had been engaged in minor skirmishes with the Demon Wolves clan, with constant friction between the two sides. Equipped with these ten magic weapons, Wang Hong was confident that even if they faced the entire Demon Wolves clan, they wouldn't be at a disadvantage.

However, he couldn't guarantee what would happen if, one day, the Demon Wolves suddenly went berserk and led their entire clan to attack. Betrayal and conflicts within the Demon Clan were common occurrences.

"Very well, East Master, the silkworm cocoons you took out last time have already been woven into a Daoist Robe, and the remaining cocoons are still in the process of being made," Xu Lun reported while collecting his thoughts. He knew that he, not being on the front lines, wouldn't have the chance to receive a magic weapon this time.

Simultaneously, he presented the first Tier Three robe that had been created this time to Wang Hong.

"This first robe was specially woven for the East Master. Please try it on!"

Wang Hong accepted it and unfolded the robe. It was a purple robe with wide sleeves and cloud patterns embroidered on it. Overall, it exuded an air of nobility and elegance.

He tried it on and instantly gained a comprehensive understanding of the robe. The robe featured over a hundred small formations embroidered on it, which, when combined, served various functions. When wearing this robe, one could resist water and fire; it wouldn't be affected even if sleeping in flames. Additionally, it had multiple other uses.

"Excellent! I'll take this robe, and the rest should all be woven into Tier Three robes. Whenever someone advances to the Golden Core stage, they should each receive a Tier Three robe."

Wang Hong felt refreshed and even noticed an improvement in his own aura after putting on the robe.

"You can handle all these matters. I'll be leaving on a journey again soon, and I might return either quickly or after a relatively long time. I'm entrusting everything here to you."

Wang Hong continued to instruct Xu Lun. He had received news from the Immortal Way Trading Company a few days ago that the items he needed had been secured. He had asked Ye Mu to find Wood-Fire Dual Attribute Spiritual Objects for him, and it seemed that they had found results quite quickly.

After sending Xu Lun away, Wang Hong made some preparations and then left Yunxia Mountain, heading toward the temporary headquarters of the Immortal Way Trading Company.

It was the same mountain cave as before, and Liu Changsheng quickly came out to welcome him and led him into the cave.

"East Master, for the Wood-Fire Dual Attribute Spiritual Objects you needed this time, we've found two spiritual materials and some information about other spiritual materials."

After guiding Wang Hong inside, Liu Changsheng reported to him and handed over two wooden boxes and a Jade Scroll.

Wang Hong opened the wooden boxes, each containing a spiritual material. As he opened them, a strong surge of Spiritual Qi permeated the air. In one wooden box, there was a piece of wood with charred marks on it, exuding a rich wood-element vitality alongside the fluctuations of fire elements. It was evident that these two elements had reached a balance.

In the other wooden box, there was a flame-shaped object, but it emitted wood-element fluctuations from within.

Wang Hong sealed the two wooden boxes again using a talisman.

With these two spiritual objects and a few additional auxiliary materials, he would have enough to refine a decent magic weapon.

He picked up the Jade Scroll and carefully examined it. It contained information about many Wood-Fire Dual Attribute Spiritual Objects, with records of their sources and whereabouts.

There were over a dozen pieces of information in total, detailing the origins or locations of as many Spiritual Objects. One particular piece of information piqued his interest greatly.
