Refining a Magic Treasure

"Exactly, Hongjun must be looking for Luohu, I know that." Daojun Qing Xuan thought to himself. Luohu's destruction would benefit everyone, so he might as well tell Hongjun and build a good connection.

"Senior, could you tell me what this person looks like? This Humble One might have seen him." "This man is named Luohu, the foremost demon of this age. Wherever he goes, demonic qi floods the skies, and living beings suffer." Hongjun thought it over and still told Qing Xuan, just in case he had seen him.

Qing Xuan pretended to think for a moment before saying, "Senior, This Humble One once saw black light blotting out the sky and Sha Qi spreading in the western part of the Primordial World, north of Mount Sumeru, from afar. Perhaps Senior could go there and take a look."

Hearing this, Hongjun was overjoyed. "Good, I'll go immediately. If I find Luohu, I'll credit you with the merit."

"I wish Senior success in all your endeavors."

Qing Xuan watched Hongjun leave and thought to himself, letting Hongjun find Luohu early counts as helping him attain the Dao. He wondered how Hongjun would repay this favor.

Thinking of this, Qing Xuan was very pleased and patted Da Bai on the head.

"?"

Da Bai didn't quite understand, but continued carrying Qing Xuan, flying toward home.

"Yo, Boss, we're home."

After several years of flying, Da Bai was already eager to return. He wondered how his twelve little brothers were doing now.

"Alright, go play. We'll be staying home for a while."

Qing Xuan stroked Da Bai's smooth fur and said to him.

After Da Bai left, Qing Xuan flew to Square Inch Immortal Island, placed Kong Xuan and Peng Xuan beside the stone tablet, set up a Spirit Gathering Array, and left.

Returning to Penglai Immortal Palace, Qing Xuan began refining his treasures. The Southern Lidi Flame Light Banner and the Western Suseo Cloud Realm Banner were the hardest to refine. Even at his current Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm, it took a hundred years.

"Now my wealth is much greater." After a hundred years, Qing Xuan had refined all his treasures, then summoned the Southern Lidi Flame Light Banner and the Western Suseo Cloud Realm Banner.

The Southern Lidi Flame Light Banner released blazing flames, instantly filling the hall. Qing Xuan felt the fire—its power was no less than the Four Innate Spirit Flames, capable of burning away all obstacles in heaven and earth.

As for the other banner, the Western Suseo Cloud Realm Banner, strange mists swirled around it as it floated above Qing Xuan's head. Under its protection, Qing Xuan felt a calm and stable peace in his heart. Through some insight, he understood that this banner could purify the wielder's mind, repel all evil, and render them immune to all spells.

The Jade Void Glazed Lamp and the Primordial Golden Dou were also extraordinary. Only the Kongtong Seal, though refined, still couldn't be used, so he set it aside.

"Hahaha, good treasures, all good treasures!"

Qing Xuan was very satisfied. Even if he might not use them much later, no one would complain about having too many spiritual treasures. As things stood, Qing Xuan's wealth was quite impressive.

Innate Supreme Treasures: Primordial Halberd, World-Purifying White Lotus, Myriad Heavens Celebration Cloud, Southern Lidi Flame Light Banner, Western Suseo Cloud Realm Banner.

High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures: Sea-Calming Divine Pearl, Primordial Golden Dou, Jade Void Glazed Lamp, Kongtong Seal.

Mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures: Earth Spirit Pearl, Fire Spirit Pearl, Water Spirit Pearl.

There were also Chaos Refined Gold, Three Lights Divine Water, and the top of the Top Ten Innate Spiritual Roots, the Yellow Middle Plum, among other Divine Objects.

If anyone in the Primordial World besides Hongjun knew Qing Xuan had such wealth, they would surely be green with envy.

Thinking of the Yellow Middle Plum, Qing Xuan's mind stirred, and he went to the side of the Three Lights Divine Water pool. The Yellow Middle Plum had ripened another batch. Nine fruits hung from the branches, emitting a captivating fragrance.

"Mm, not bad, not bad. Adding these to the previous eight, I have seventeen fruits in total."

Qing Xuan collected the fruits and thought that keeping such treasures stored away was a waste. He might trade some for treasures later.

Then he drew a strand of Jiamu Origin Qi from the Yellow Middle Plum tree. Once Kong Xuan transformed, he could refine it.

"I've obtained two of the Five Elements Origin Qi. Gengjin Origin Qi can be drawn from the Bodhi Tree, the companion spiritual root of the future Sage Zhunti."

"Kuishui Origin Qi is on the Top Ten Innate Spiritual Root 'Renshui Peaches Tree,' currently in Hongjun's hands, later to be bestowed upon the Queen Mother."

"Kantuo Origin Qi is on the Top Ten Innate Spiritual Root 'Ginseng Fruit Tree,' in the hands of Zhen Yuanzi of Wuzhuang Temple."

Qing Xuan's thoughts churned. Among these three Origin Qi, only the Bodhi Tree would be quite difficult to approach.

Thinking this, Qing Xuan decided that as soon as the calamity ended, he would immediately go to the west to find Zhunti. After making this decision, Qing Xuan left the immortal palace, wanting to see what Da Bai was up to.

At that moment, Da Bai was lying on a stone platform, talking. His twelve little brothers surrounded the platform, with many Spiritual Beasts behind them. All the Spiritual Beasts were listening to Da Bai speak.

"I struck at Ao Yue of the Dragon Clan with my Wave-Stepping Azure Wave Spell. This dragon was the son of the Dragon Clan leader, Ancestral Dragon, but now I had him on the back foot."

"Wow!"

"But Ao Yue still had some skill. He actually used the Universe-Reversing Divine Ability to rebound my Wave-Stepping Azure Wave. Seeing that, I used the River-Overturning Sea-Toppling Great Divine Ability, raising monstrous waves, and broke Ao Yue's divine ability in one go."

"Wow!"

"Struck by my attack, Ao Yue was powerless to fight back. He could only beg, saying, 'Please, Great King Da Bai, don't kill me. I am the son of Ancestral Dragon and have many treasures to offer you.' Hearing this, I cut off Ao Yue's head with one divine ability."

"I am the King of a Hundred Beasts under Daojun Qing Xuan, the leader of the Myriad Spirit Alliance, the Innate Divine Beast Fuzhu, Da Bai! Do you think I'd covet your Dragon Clan's paltry scraps? Hmph!" Da Bai stood proudly, letting the Spiritual Beasts see his magnificent form.

"Wow!" A chorus of exclamations arose.

"The leader is so amazing!"

"Of course! The leader is the number one beast under the Sage!"

"Wow! So amazing!"

"But what is a Sage?"

"Idiot! A Sage is Daojun Qing Xuan!"

"Ah, right, right!"

Qing Xuan concealed his form, flying in the air, listening to his mount boast. He felt extremely embarrassed inside.

"What the hell, can I swap this mount? How did it end up so useless?"

Qing Xuan hesitated no longer, flickering to Da Bai's side.

"Greetings, Daojun Qing Xuan!"

The surrounding spirit beasts knelt one after another; those who could speak did so respectfully.

"Rise."

Qing Xuan swept his gaze around. The Million Spirit Beasts had developed to the point where Tens of Thousands were at the Human Immortal Realm, and all Twelve Spirit Beasts had cultivated to the Earth Immortal Realm. As innate spirit beasts born on the Three Immortal Islands, there was no worry about them reaching the Golden Immortal Transformation.

Fuzhu, Da Bai, had already cultivated to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Perfected Realm, and the next step was to break through to the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal. As Qing Xuan thought this, a Yellow Middle Plum fruit appeared in his hand.

The moment the Yellow Middle Plum appeared, the surrounding spirit beasts all fixed their gazes on it, their eyes revealing a longing for it. Even Da Bai felt a surge of desire rise in his heart.

"Da Bai, I grant you this Yellow Middle Plum to aid your breakthrough to the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal."

The Yellow Middle Plum drifted toward Da Bai, and the surrounding spirit beasts all showed envy.

"Thank you, Boss!"

"Awoo!"

Da Bai gulped it down in one bite, and surging spiritual energy exploded within his body. He lay down, and the surrounding spiritual energy began to gather, enveloping his form.

Seeing this, Qing Xuan spoke.

"This breakthrough of Da Bai's may take who knows how many days. All of you disperse and cultivate diligently. Those who work hard will also receive rewards."

With that, Qing Xuan left the place.

"Thank you, Daojun Qing Xuan!"
