Li Xiuchang participated in the collective meeting of the neighboring brothers and sisters for the second time.
At the meeting, Chen Changsheng emphasized that cross-border exploration operations should put safety first, further strengthen risk awareness and bottom-line thinking, and use an extremely responsible attitude, extremely strict measures, and extremely powerful implementation to go all out to explore and collect information about the Dark Heaven Realm, so as to lay a solid foundation for the future migration of the Immortal Shade Realm people.
Lu Yang affirmed Chen Changsheng's speech and said that careful preparations should be made and suitable candidates should be selected to perform this task.
Xia Siyun: "My husband is right!"
Zhang Wanzhi: "Non-Self is the perfect candidate for this job. There is no one more suitable than me!"
As a result, his proposal was almost universally opposed.
In other words, Li Xiuchang and Gui Wuyan have no objections.
Gui Wuyan was speechless, Li Xiuchang immediately asked Senior Brother Zhang for fear of offending him.
The last time he went to the lower realm, Zhang Wanzhi caused a lot of trouble. Now naturally no one would agree to let him, an unstable element, go to the Dark Heaven Realm.
Li Xiuchang also recommended himself and proposed to go to the Dark Heaven Realm to learn more.
In the end, after everyone voted, it was decided to let Mo Tu and Li Xiuchang take the lead in exploring Dark Heaven Realm, while Chen Changsheng's clone was responsible for taking over.
Zhang Wanzhi was dissatisfied. "Why can Old Mo go and I can't?"
Everyone has very good reasons for this:
Because Dark Heaven Realm is a world dominated by demonic cultivators, all the monks there are demonic cultivators, and Mo Tu is a demonic cultivator and will not be conspicuous there.
As for Li Xiuchang, although it is not a magic cultivator, it is almost the same.
And young people need more experience. Since Li Xiuchang has taken the initiative to mention it, the senior brothers and sisters will naturally give him this opportunity to experience.
Chen Changsheng is now confident that Teleportation Array has been built, but it is not completely completed yet and will take some time.
It just so happens that Li Xiuchang can use this time to do some preparation work.
Dark Heaven Realm is different from the lower world that Li Xiuchang went to before. It is a world on the same level as Immortal Shade Realm, and it is rich in resources.
Even if the overall strength is not as good as Immortal Shade Realm, it probably won't be too different.
Therefore, this experience is risky, and it does not mean that following Senior Brother Mo will guarantee you peace of mind.
No one dares to say whether there will be any accidents. Last time at the Zen Heart Realm, didn't he get separated from his two senior brothers?
Therefore, it is the best guarantee to improve one's combat power as much as possible.
If you want to improve your combat power in the short term, starting with equipment is undoubtedly the best choice.
The real finished product of Li Xiuchang fighting Dharma Treasure is actually one Natal Magic Treasure Soul Slicing Saber.
Undying Armor and Bone Slicing Saber are both Lingbao rough blanks.
With Li Xiuchang's financial resources, it would be easy to buy a few Dharma Treasures. Even among the trophies he had harvested in the past, there were also some powerful Dharma Treasures.
But this thing Dharma Treasure is not much about finesse.
Li Xiuchang plans to completely transform Bone Slicing Saber and Undying Armor into spiritual treasures!
Normally Nascent Soul Cultivation Level is a bit reluctant to use Lingbao, but Li Xiuchang is still a fifth-level Buddhist Cultivator, equivalent to a Spirit Transformation monk.
Lingbao, even Low-grade Spirit Treasure, generally requires a Void Refinement Stage monk to fully control it.
Nascent Soul Stage monk can only use it reluctantly as a means of explosion.
The huge mana consumption alone is not something that monks below Void Refinement Stage can afford.
But Li Xiuchang can borrow 80% of the power from heaven and earth. He only needs to consume 20% of his mana. In addition, his mana is extremely strong, and Second Nascent Soul, which is as big as me, can be used as a power bank, so he can't use up his mana at all.
He feels that he can completely control Lingbao now!
Even if the full power of the Lingbao cannot be exerted, it is still stronger than the ordinary Dharma Treasure.
In addition, Li Xiuchang plans to strengthen Rainbow Soul Banner.
The magic weapon level Rainbow Soul Banner is no longer worthy of his current status.
It's not even worthy of the strength of his shadow souls and the level of his soul control skills.
Li Xiuchang went to the Dark Heaven Realm this time, planning to bring all members the Three Great Malevolent Spirits and Paw Patrol with him. Rainbow Soul Banner is his only soul-controlling weapon, so of course he needs to upgrade it.
After the meeting, Li Xiuchang found Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi.
"Senior brother, I would like to ask you to help me turn these two rough spiritual treasures into finished products."
Zhang Wanzhi looked at Li Xiuchang carefully and said in surprise, "Xiuchang, you don't already have Void Refinement Stage, do you? Can you use Lingbao?"
"No, no, just make preparations in advance."
"You really need to prepare in advance. If you want to turn these two rough blanks into finished products, you will need a lot of high-end materials. You have to purchase a batch of materials."
"Brother, give me a list and I'll collect it."
Zhang Wanzhi immediately made a list of materials for Li Xiuchang, all of which were as high as Sixth Tier. There were even one or two Seventh Tier auxiliary materials. Fortunately, the required weight was very small.
Then Li Xiuchang asked Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi for advice on how to upgrade Rainbow Soul Banner.
The two discussed it, and Zhang Wanzhi gave ideas and a rough plan.
Li Xiuchang plans to upgrade Rainbow Soul Banner by himself.
His weapon-refining skills have been improved to the third level after years of hard work.
In the past three months or so, Li Xiuchang has focused on improving his weapon refining skills.
A third-level weapon refiner can skillfully craft Low-grade Magic Treasure, and a senior third-level weapon refiner may even have a chance of crafting Mid-grade Magic Treasure.
What Li Xiuchang wants to do is not to refine it from scratch, but to recast and upgrade Rainbow Soul Banner at the Top-grade Magic Tool level. There is also a plan that Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi helped formulate, which is much less difficult, so naturally he went for Mid-grade Magic Treasure.
With the surface of Li Xiuchang Cultivation Level, the acquisition of high-end weapon refining materials is a very eye-catching thing.
But it seems reasonable to acquire it in the name of the Four Immortals Merchant Association.
It is normal for the Four Immortals Merchant Association to help customers purchase high-end materials. They can even purchase materials from the other three major immortal sects through the channels of the Chamber of Commerce.
It is not that easy to acquire high-end materials. If you want to buy them quickly, you often need to pay a premium.
But Li Xiuchang is rich and doesn't care about spending more spiritual stones.
It is worth mentioning that Little Zhu actually contributed a lot of materials to Li Xiuchang.
They were all collected from Pig King cave abode when she left Pig King cave abode.
Although Cultivation Level of Pig King is not much taller than Li Xiuchang, he is a great demon who has lived for thousands of years, and his wealth accumulation is still considerable. It is a pity that most of the valuable treasures Pig King are carried with him, and only the small heads are left in cave abode.
When Li Xiuchang learned that Pig King had been captured, he regretted not being able to search Pig King's lair. Unexpectedly, in the end, the treasures in Pig King cave abode were delivered to him around the corner.
Four Immortals Merchant Association mobilized all channels and purchased materials at a premium, demonstrating strong energy and efficiency.
It took less than half a month to acquire all the materials.
Even including the time for material transportation, it took less than a month for all the materials to be delivered to Li Xiuchang.
Li Xiuchang also discovered that Four Immortals Merchant Association had already established a huge network of contacts without knowing it.
Four Immortals Merchant Association is connected not only to a group of Four Great Immortal Sects disciples within the Chamber of Commerce, but also to countless large and small businesses that have long-term cooperation with the Four Immortals Merchant Association, covering the four largest cities in the Immortal Shade Realm.
Those merchants each have their own intricate connections and channels.
They don't mind using their connections as long as it's profitable.
This is like a big tree, swaying slightly, the trunk is connected to the branches, and the branches are connected to the leaves.
Li Xiuchang once again realized the strength of the Four Immortals Merchant Association and felt that it would be a waste not to make good use of such a huge resource in his own hands.
So he released a long-term acquisition information through the Four Immortals Merchant Association to acquire all rare and rare materials with Spirit Plant.
The purchase of high-level weapon refining materials this time cost Li Xiuchang tens of thousands of spirit stones... mid-grade Spirit Stone!
It was the first time that so many spiritual stones were spent at once, and Li Xiuchang also felt pain in his body. How much bacon would it take to earn back the money?
Sure enough, the high-end materials were horribly expensive, not to mention that he purchased them at a premium.
These are only some of the auxiliary materials used to create Lingbao, not counting the value of the main materials and various auxiliary materials previously invested.
This shows how much it costs to create a complete Lingbao!
This does not include the remuneration to be paid to the weapon refiner. For Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi, Li Xiuchang doesn't want to pay him more. He can only give him some hard work.
Normally, hiring a master of weapon refining would cost a lot of money.
After getting the materials, Li Xiuchang sent the materials, Bone Slicing Saber and Undying Armor, all to Senior Brother Zhang.
He himself also recast Rainbow Soul Banner behind closed doors.
He took out a drawing, which was the recasting plan given to Rainbow Soul Banner by Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi.
But Li Xiuchang took a look and decided to make some changes.
"Strictly speaking, the interior of the previous Rainbow Soul Banner cannot be called a 'space'. It can only accommodate ghosts. It is similar to the effect of energy containment. The ghosts are all energy bodies, so they can only hold ghosts and not any real objects."
"In this upgrade, I want to change the space inside it to a space similar to Beast Taming Bag. In the future, not only physical objects, but also monsters and living people can be placed in it."
Li Xiuchang reached out and modified Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi's drawings.
After changing it again and again, he came up with some new ideas.
"Rainbow Soul Banner The seven-layered space should be divided into several spaces with clear functions. In the past, the seven spaces were mainly used to house the ghosts separately, and the actual significance of the multi-layered space was not used."
"A sealing formation is added to a space, specifically used to imprison high-level ghosts."
"Leave a space to set up a giant food trough. Arrays and restrictions are set up in the trough to delay energy volatilization, which can make Netherfrost Fruit Spirit Liquid energy dissipate more slowly, making it easier for the ghosts to absorb it. From now on, Mass Ghost Gathering Event will be held in this space."
"Create a huge space specifically, with an area of more than an acre, to hold giant trays. In the future, adding treasures will be done in the soul flag space..."
When there are too many requirements, the cost will go up and more effort will be required.
Li Xiuchang put in a lot of materials. Just these materials invested can buy several pieces of Mid-grade Magic Treasure.
He locked himself in the room, forgetting to eat and sleep, spending all day either refining weapons or forging iron, or studying blueprints.
During this period, we also encountered many problems, made several mistakes in some details, and wasted a lot of materials.
He improved over and over again, making progress little by little...
More than a month has passed and Rainbow Soul Banner has finally been recast!
There is no change in appearance, it is still the same colorful banner as before.
But the fluctuation of spiritual energy that was exuding was a High-grade Magic Treasure!
Li Xiuchang himself is a little incredible.
With his level as a third-level weapon refiner, it would normally be impossible to refine High-grade Magic Treasure.
He thought for a moment and felt that it was the blessing of many factors that allowed him to refine this High-grade Magic Treasure soul flag.
First of all, he did not refine Dharma Treasure from scratch, but just recast and upgraded Rainbow Soul Banner, which was much less difficult than refining Dharma Treasure directly.
In other words, the foundation laid by Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi back then was so good. Although the original Rainbow Soul Banner was only Top-grade Magic Tool, its refining techniques and materials may exceed the normal Top-grade Magic Tool.
Secondly, the drawings given by Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi were also of great help. The drawings looked like the work of a master, and the recasting plan was extremely clever. Li Xiuchang couldn't have thought of it himself.
Even if he made many modifications, they were all based on the drawings of Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi.
The last reason is that Li Xiuchang was modified again, which added a lot of precious materials to the recasting process of Dharma Treasure, which directly improved the quality of Dharma Treasure!
Under the influence of multiple reasons, Li Xiuchang, a third-level weapon refiner, made a mistake and recast High-grade Magic Treasure!
"Not bad!"
Li Xiuchang tried Rainbow Soul Banner and was very satisfied and full of praise.
This soul flag is so convenient and practical.
It perfectly retains the advantages of the previous Rainbow Soul Banner and adds many new functions.
All the points in his plan were accomplished. Three layers of space in the soul flag were used for special purposes, and the other four layers were used to contain ghosts.
"In the future, if you take a Rainbow Soul Banner when you go out, you can save the Beast Taming Bag, or even the Storage Bag."
Having said that, of course Li Xiuchang did not actually replace Storage Bag with Rainbow Soul Banner.
In addition to the functional expansion, the power of Rainbow Soul Banner has also undergone earth-shaking changes. The blessing of soul control spells and the bonus to ghosts have become many times stronger.
"I believe that Rainbow Soul Banner will definitely shine this time when we go to the Dark Heaven Realm!"
Li Xiuchang is finished here, but Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi has not yet refined the two spiritual treasures.
It's not that Lingbao is difficult to refine... at least it's not difficult for Zhang Wanzhi, but Zhang Wanzhi has to go to class from time to time, and often takes time off to play chess with Mo Tu, which delays him every time he goes back and forth.
Li Xiuchang didn't push, anyway, Chen Changsheng's side Teleportation Array hadn't arranged it yet.
I just suspended the weapon refining course to give Zhang Wanzhi some more time.
After this recasting of Rainbow Soul Banner, Li Xiuchang found that he had gained a lot, gained a lot of new understanding of the art of refining, and his level of refining skills had improved by leaps and bounds!
I feel like if I work harder, I can break through to the fourth level.
After studying in the past few months, Li Xiuchang has made great progress in various skills. It is very likely that the weapon refining skill will become the third skill to reach the fourth level after Spirit Plant and Lingchu.
On this day, Little Turtle came steadily to give Li Xiuchang a formation lesson.
It already knows about the cross-border Teleportation Array, and also knows that Li Xiuchang is about to embark on a new journey, and it is quite envious in its heart.
It said, "Xiu Chang, why don't you bring me with you?"
Li Xiuchang said helplessly, "This is just a clone of you. Why do you always want to run away? Isn't your true body already free and at ease outside?"
Speaking of its body, it is stable and energetic. "My body is indeed having a wonderful life every day, but... it will still get boring after a long time, but now I can't leave even if I want to."
"What's going on?" Li Xiuchang asked curiously.
Shen Wen sighed and said, "I told you before that I went to a world full of demon cultivators, where I unified the entire demonic world, and now I have become Lord of the Demonic Path."
The demonic world Wenwen went to was on the same level as Myriad Mountains Realm, so it was not very strong. With its strength, it had almost no opponents there.
"Isn't that a good thing? Brother Turtle Why are you sighing?"
"You don't understand." He raised his head steadily, with a hint of vicissitudes of life in his small eyes, "The people in that world have been suffering from demons for a long time. The appearance of this turtle has given them a glimmer of hope. Under the restraint of this turtle, the demon cultivators dare not do evil anymore, but if I leave..."
"There, the people respected me as the 'God Turtle', built countless temples for me, and spontaneously founded the God Turtle Sect. Countless people believed in me and worshiped me day and night. How could I have the heart to abandon them?"
Li Xiuchang suggested. "Brother Turtle might as well follow Last Demonic Lord's example and kill all the demon cultivators in the world."
"It won't work. You can't imagine what it would be like to have a whole world full of demonic cultivators. It's impossible to kill them all! Immortal Shade Realm doesn't have that many demonic cultivators. Back then, Last Demonic Lord couldn't kill all the demonic cultivators. There are still remnants that survive to this day. It's even more impossible for me to do it alone."
"Then I can only work hard Brother Turtle to stay there for a while. When I, Cultivation Level, improve, I will definitely go there to help you. Together, we will definitely kill all the demonic cultivators!"
Wenwen's eyes were filled with emotion. "Good brother, then I'll wait for you. Together we turtles will definitely be able to eradicate the evil!"
Senior Brother Chen This trick is indeed wonderful. It will trap Wenwen to death, making it impossible for him to go to other worlds to cause trouble... Li Xiuchang is very impressed by Chen Changsheng's arrangement, and he has not forgotten to remind Wenwen:
"Brother Turtle killed the demon cultivators. If any of them become ghosts, please help me collect the ghosts. Don't waste them. Otherwise, the ghosts will turn into Fierce Ghost in the future and harm the people again."
"It's easy to say, I will definitely keep this turtle for you."
Next, we entered the daily formation class.
Wenwen continued to teach extreme formations, specializing in breaking formations.
After finishing the class, he kept moving and continued to teach Jinjiao.
Li Xiuchang thought of something and suggested, "Brother Turtle, Golden Horn's defense is already strong enough, how about you help it increase its speed."
He remembered that he had given up using the Golden Horn as a mount. One of the main reasons was because the Golden Horn could not fly fast enough.
Golden Horn's flying speed is actually not slow, but it is only at the level of a normal monster of the same level, not outstanding.
Of course, considering its huge size, it will definitely affect its speed. If placed among monsters of the same size, Golden Horn will definitely fly fast.
Li Xiuchang I still don't want to give up, I want Wenwen to train Jin Jiao's speed.
Li Xiuchang knows very well that Senior Brother Chen Changsheng is fully equipped in defense and escape, and is more stable than Senior Brother Chen True Disciple. These two items are also terrifyingly strong.
If you are good at escaping, you must be very fast.
Wenwen had already taught Jinjiao his defensive abilities before, and now it was time to teach him some escape skills to increase Jinjiao's speed.
As long as the golden angle speed is increased, the difficulty can still be overcome. If necessary, he can act as a mount.
"No problem, teach me. You let Golden Horn follow this turtle these days, and I will give it a wave of training to ensure that it can fly faster than a turtle in the future!"
"Faster than a turtle?" Li Xiuchang wondered, when did the turtle become synonymous with speed?
"Well, this is an exaggeration. If you want to fly faster than a turtle, you can't do it in a short while."
"Okay, then Jinjiao will follow you in the next few days."
Li Xiuchang gave Golden Horn an order to learn his skills from the little turtle.
He is no longer worried about Jin Jiao being led astray. As a coward as Jin Jiao, if he can follow the little turtle to become more courageous, it will be too late for him to be happy.
A few days later, Senior Sister Xia and Senior Brother Lu Yang suddenly wanted to go out.
Because the Longevity Pill refined by Senior Sister Xia is about to be released, the release of the elixir will inevitably cause strange phenomena in the heaven and earth, and there will be a lot of commotion.
So you have to go outside to make elixirs.
Senior Brother Lu Yang If a woman follows her husband, she will definitely follow him to protect the Dharma.
This elixir was related to Senior Brother Gui's life span of hundreds of years, so he naturally wanted to go and have a look.
As soon as the three senior brothers and sisters left, Eastern Geng District suddenly became deserted.
Li Xiuchang found that everyone in Eastern Geng District was busy except him and Senior Brother Mo.
He could only practice his skills out of boredom.
The next day, Immortal Dust Sect a vision came from the sky on a hilltop a hundred miles away.
There are rays of light descending from the sky, cranes soaring, auspicious clouds gathering above the sky, and fairy sounds floating...
Immortal Dust Sect The elders noticed the strange phenomenon at the first time, but when they rushed over, they only found that the air was filled with the rich fragrance of alchemy. After taking a breath, they felt physically and mentally comfortable and full of energy.
The vegetation on the top of the mountain is a head higher than elsewhere.
"Is there someone refining elixir here?"
At this time, Xia Siyun, who created the vision, had already returned to Eastern Geng District.
"Senior Sister Xia, did the alchemy go smoothly?" Li Xiuchang asked with concern.
"How can there be any reason for my action not to go smoothly?" Xia Siyun said proudly.
I saw Gui Wuyan take out a jade bottle, open the bottle cap, and a hint of Danxiang came out.
Li Xiuchang took just one sip and smelled the smell of longevity.
Xia Siyun urged, "Old Gui, take the elixir quickly. I still have a few questions to ask you. I've been holding them back for a long time."
Gui Wuyan shook his head, and suddenly thrust the jade bottle into Li Xiuchang's hand, and a line of words floated above his head. "Xiu Chang keeps this medicine for me."
Xia Siyun and Lu Yang both looked surprised, and even Li Xiuchang couldn't believe it. "Brother, you only have a few months left to live..."
Gui Wuyan said on the top of his head, "It doesn't matter, if I take this pill now, it will be used up in a year or two at most. You can keep it for me and use it at a critical moment."
Xia Siyun raised his eyebrows. "Gui Duba, are you waiting for me here? How will you pay for the alchemy?"
The two people agreed that the reward for alchemy would be for Gui Wuyan to answer Xia Siyun's three questions.
Gui Wuyan: "I owe it first."
Xia Siyun wanted to say something else, but he glanced at his husband-in-law and saw Lu Yang nodded, so he snorted and agreed.
Lu Yang said, "Xiu Chang, please help Senior Brother Gui collect the elixirs. The elixirs are only safe if they are placed with you. If you put them with others, someone might force-feed them to you Senior Brother Gui at some point."
"And..." Lu Yang glanced at Gui Wuyan, "You Senior Brother Gui are a divination master."
Li Xiuchang's heart moved slightly, Lu Yang said the last sentence very implicitly.
But it seems to be hinting that Gui Wuyan is a divination master, and there may be deep meaning behind every move.
He specified that he must have his intention to keep Longevity Pill.
Li Xiuchang suddenly thought of his Length Cheat. It seemed that he could add some points to this Longevity Pill.
Could it be that Senior Brother Gui wants him to add some more to the elixir and then give it to him after it becomes bigger?
That will definitely increase your lifespan a lot.
However, Li Xiuchang immediately denied this speculation. Senior Brother Gui should not be counted as the existence of Length Cheat.
