The additional reward of Azure Dragon Pass, Dragon Blood Tree Seed, requires successfully planting Dragon Blood Tree in the illusion.
Li Xiuchang Standing in front of the Qinglong statue, his consciousness sank into the illusion again.
This time the illusion is very simple, just a seed and a piece of land.
When a Spirit Plant master gets an unfamiliar Spirit Plant seed, the first step is to analyze the internal structure of the seed.
Li Xiuchang Divine Sense probed into the inside of Dragon Blood Tree Seed, observed the layer-by-layer structure inside the seed, and felt the vigorous vitality contained in the seed, as well as the subtle taste of Azure Dragon Blood.
Dragon Blood Tree Seed was originally created by Qinglong fused with his own blood.
"Dragon Blood Tree Seed, as the Spirit Plant seed created by Qinglong, there is no doubt that it is already at the Immortal Plant level, but the seed in the illusion has obviously been adjusted."
The real Immortal Plant seed, with the Spirit Plant level of Li Xiuchang's current eighth-level grand master, and Cultivation Level of Dao Integration Stage, it is impossible to successfully plant it under any circumstances.
Therefore, the seed in the illusion is a weakened version, and the difficulty of planting is reduced.
Li Xiuchang had previously watched the process of Qinglong planting Dragon Blood Tree, and based on his own understanding, he developed a planting plan that best suited him based on the various characteristics of Dragon Blood Tree Seed.
He couldn't completely copy Qinglong's planting method because he didn't have the Wood Dao control as powerful as Qinglong.
Li Xiuchang held Dragon Blood Tree Seed in his hand and began to inject Spiritual Power to stimulate the vitality inside the seeds. This was a great test of Spirit Planter's control over the spiritual energy. If he was not careful, he might cause irreversible damage to the seeds.
The short germination process seems simple, but in fact it contains many skills.
First complete the germination in your hands, let Dragon Blood Tree Seed become a small sapling, and then plant it into the soil.
Li Xiuchang carefully completed these steps and then began to ripen the saplings.
The test of this level is for him to successfully plant Dragon Blood Tree. It does not mean that it is over after germination and planting. The task must be at least matured to a certain extent to ensure that it will not die prematurely.
Because he was in an illusion, Li Xiuchang couldn't use a bunch of treasures used to ripen Spirit Plant, so he could only rely entirely on his own skills.
This level is definitely the ultimate difficulty for those trialists who have no Spirit Plant Cultivation Arts foundation and only have some Wood Dao mastery.
Just imagine, even if the stable body comes in person, even if it comprehends a lot of Wood Dao insights in Azure Dragon Pass, but without mastering Spirit Plant Cultivation Arts, it can only plant Dragon Blood Tree by mastering Wood Dao...
Then the only option is to imitate Qinglong's planting method, rely on the understanding of Wood Dao, throw away all skills, and forcefully ripen.
It is really difficult to achieve this. Only those who are extremely talented in Wood Dao, or those who have a profound foundation in Wood Dao, can do it.
But for people like Li Xiuchang who are very proficient in Spirit Plant Cultivation Arts, they can still take advantage of the loopholes.
This level cannot be said to be easy for him, but it is not very difficult either. In the end, the saplings of Dragon Blood Tree were matured and grown little by little without any danger...
It just took a little more time.
And this is just the speed of time in the illusion, and it probably hasn't been too long in reality.
When Dragon Blood Tree is ripened to the height of a person, the small tree at this time is strong enough and will not die without any accidents.
At this point, the mission was completed and he escaped from the illusion. As soon as Li Xiuchang opened his eyes in a daze, he saw the Qinglong statue opening its mouth, and the seed in its mouth fell into his hand.
Feeling the heavy weight in his hand, Li Xiuchang Divine Sense swept this vibrant seed... This is the real Immortal Plant seed!
At present, this seed, Li Xiuchang, cannot even be planted. Perhaps we have to go back and ask Senior Brother Mo for help.
However, Li Xiuchang has another idea. He wants to plant Dragon Blood Tree Seed into second Dantian space, where Spirit Plant will grow stronger and have an atavism phenomenon, allowing Dragon Blood Tree to surpass its original level!
So it was better to wait until he was able to grow it himself.
Or add points to the seeds to turn them into giant seeds, and then entrust Senior Brother Mo to plant them.
After adding points to the seeds, the grade of the Spirit Plant grown will increase, but the planting difficulty will also become greater.
If you want to plant Dragon Blood Tree by yourself with Li Xiuchang, but you have to wait until the Year of the Monkey, why don't you just go to the trouble of planting Senior Brother Mo in the outside world.
"A long time has passed in the illusion, but only one day has passed in reality." Li Xiuchang looked around and found that four teammates were waiting for him.
All four guys gave up on getting extra rewards, knowing they weren't the cut.
Li Xiuchang continues the challenge to get additional rewards from White Tiger Pass.
He entered the illusion again, and this time the test was "weapon refining".
All around him were all the refining equipment, and in front of him was a wooden barrel containing a piece of metal.
To be precise, it was a piece of liquid metal. Li Xiuchang blew into the bucket, and ripples appeared on the surface of the metal.
It was just such a piece of water-like metal that he was asked to refine into a device.
Li Xiuchang I have never seen or heard of this kind of metal material, but it is not unusual. Bai Hu can create various metals. This liquid metal is probably created by Bai Hu.
General metal materials need to be heated before they can melt into a liquid state.
Moreover, the more advanced metal materials are, the more difficult they are to melt and require high flames, so the difficulty of forging will naturally increase.
But the metal in front of me is very abnormal. Not only does it remain liquid at room temperature, but the material grade is not low. It turns out to be a piece of Sixth Tier material.
Sixth Tier material can be used to refine spiritual treasures.
The goal of this level is to refine this Sixth Tier material into a spiritual treasure.
Li Xiuchang As a Seventh Tier weapon refiner, there is certainly no problem in refining a Low-grade Spirit Treasure. The main difficulty in this level is how to handle the liquid metal material.
To refine a spiritual treasure using this liquid metal alone without mixing in other materials, the difficulty quickly increased.
It really tests his understanding of the material.
If you don't have a deep understanding of the material, it will be difficult to handle this liquid metal material.
"It's not that difficult to forge..."
It remains liquid at room temperature, but when the temperature is lowered, it will solidify sooner or later. At that time, it can be forged at will. Forging in a low-temperature environment is no different from normal metal materials.
But a spiritual treasure cannot always be used at low temperatures.
If you forge a sword and it melts as soon as the temperature returns to normal, what's the use?
Or it could stab the enemy's body and be melted directly by the enemy's body temperature...
Therefore, before starting work, you must first think clearly about what type of spiritual treasure this liquid metal is suitable for forging.
Li Xiuchang took some liquid metal and tested various properties of the liquid metal first, and he immediately knew it.
"It certainly cannot be used to forge weapons such as swords. The force-removing effect is quite good and can absorb enemy attacks. It is more suitable for forging into defensive spiritual treasures."
"It's not impossible to forge it into an attack spirit treasure, but it can only be an unconventional attack spirit treasure. It's very troublesome and unnecessary."
Li Xiuchang is not here to show off his skills, he just wants to complete the test and get rewards.
Therefore, he chose to forge it into a simpler defensive spirit treasure.
"Forge it into a cloak!"
Clear your ideas, design drawings, and get started!
First, lower the temperature and use magic to freeze the liquid metal and make it solid.
Afterwards, the forging was performed at low temperatures, the formations were engraved, and the restrictions were entered...
It was carried out step by step until the final refining was completed, and a cloak like a steel plate appeared in the hands of Li Xiuchang.
When he removed the low temperature and returned to normal temperature, the steel cloak melted immediately and finally turned into a liquid cloak.
Although it melts into a liquid state, it still maintains its shape.
This cloak has outstanding defensive capabilities, especially against various spell attacks, and its level reaches Low-grade Spirit Treasure.
Li Xiuchang successfully completed the mission and exited the illusion.
The white tiger statue in front of him also raised his paws slightly, completely exposing the black metal beneath the paws.
Li Xiuchang took the piece of coal-like metal and didn't notice anything else except that the metal material was of good quality!
Immortal-grade Material!
"Very good, another treasure at the bottom of the box."
Although the treasures obtained in the secret realm are good, Li Xiuchang cannot use them at this stage, and the level of each one is too high.
Since this piece of black metal can be valued by Bai Hu, it was made by Bai Hu himself. It is definitely not an ordinary Immortal-grade Material.
The specific function needs to be studied carefully after returning.
Because he was not sure what effect it had, Li Xiuchang temporarily gave the black metal a name, "White Tiger Black Gold".
"Keep going!"
Having received two extra rewards in a row, Li Xiuchang was on a good momentum and immediately came to Vermilion Bird Statue, ready to "take chestnuts from the fire".
With a bang, the flame above Vermilion Bird Statue suddenly grew in size, big enough to accommodate more than ten people.
Li Xiuchang needs to rush into the flames, get Fire Seed, and then escape intact.
Before he even got close to the flame, Li Xiuchang felt the terrifying high temperature making his skin ache. If he stayed for a while, it would feel like all the water in his body would be completely evaporated.
Breaking in seems like asking for death.
The normal idea for this level is to use one's own powerful Fire Dao comprehension ability to try to control these flames.
Not to mention complete control, you must at least be able to influence the flame and reduce the damage caused by the flame to yourself. Only then can you enter it and obtain Fire Seed.
But Li Xiuchang, he has a hammer Fire Dao perception!
It's not impossible, but it's still far from being able to control this extremely high-level flame.
He was able to obtain Suzaku Essence Blood thanks to his four teammates who were too dishonest. Fire Dao was a disaster.
"What to do?"
At this time, you can only use your brain.
Li Xiuchang took out a box made of magma. Although this box was not a treasure, it could contain Immortal Burning Grass's flame, and it might also be able to block the flame in front of him.
But it turned out that it didn't work, and the box was directly melted into magma.
It seems that one thing defeats another. The magma box that can subdue Immortal Burning Grass cannot subdue this nameless fire.
After that, he successively took out various materials, as well as pots and pans, but none of them could withstand the flames.
Even the furnace he used to make alchemy and refining weapons couldn't withstand it and was incinerated!
In the last attempt, except for the "White Tiger Black Gold" I just got, I didn't take it out to burn rashly. I tried all the other hard-looking materials on my body.
In the end, it was found that only Hundred Refinements Immortal Iron could withstand this kind of flame.
Hundred Refinements Immortal Iron, initially had a very low level, but with the help of Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi, he became Immortal-grade Material.
Because it is not in use for the time being, it has been kept in Storage Bag and has not continued to be refined and upgraded.
Li Xiuchang was placed on this Vermilion Bird Fire and burned. After many observations, it was confirmed that Hundred Refinements Immortal Iron could withstand the burning of Vermilion Bird Fire for a moment, but it could only withstand a few seconds.
It will deform after a few seconds and cannot insulate the temperature of Vermilion Bird Fire.
A few more seconds and it will start to melt.
In less than half a minute, it will be melted into molten iron.
After Li Xiuchang thought about it, he came up with an idea. He could use Hundred Refinements Immortal Iron to create a temporary "armor", or an iron barrel, to completely protect himself and completely isolate himself.
Afterwards, he can carry the iron bucket, rush into the fire to get Fire Seed, and then exit.
A few seconds is more than enough.
After a few seconds, if Vermilion Bird Fire's temperature penetrates into the iron barrel, it doesn't need to be burned to Li Xiuchang. The terrifying temperature alone can directly cook him.
It is not difficult to forge such an iron bucket. Under normal circumstances, Li Xiuchang cannot break this Hundred Refinements Immortal Iron, and naturally it cannot be shaped.
But now here is the ready-made Immortal Flame, which can be used to melt Hundred Refinements Immortal Iron.
Li Xiuchang first put Hundred Refinements Immortal Iron into Storage Bag, silently added some points, and then took it out.
Then use local materials to melt Hundred Refinements Immortal Iron with Vermilion Bird Fire.
When Hundred Refinements Immortal Iron is about to melt, it is shaped into an iron bucket, leaving only a small opening for entry and exit.
Then take a separate piece of Hundred Refinements Immortal Iron and make it into a cover to block the outlet.
At this point, a simple temporary iron bucket is completed, and it can be rushed into the flames after it cools down.
But there is still a problem, that is, when taking Fire Seed, he must remove the lid, which will expose him to the flames!
Although it is only for a moment, you must find a way to protect yourself.
"Can Equalizer Dao come in handy?"
An idea flashed in Li Xiuchang's mind. Although his Fire Dao perception was ordinary, his Equalizer Dao perception was profound enough!
Why can't Equalizer Dao be equal to Fire Dao?
Even if we are "equal" for just a moment, that is enough.
Li Xiuchang immediately started trying. He first tried to weaken the flame. It was all fire. Why couldn't this Vermilion Bird Fire turn into an ordinary flame?
But the result failed. Vermilion Bird Fire's Status/Rank was too high for him, and his current Equalizer Dao could not be downgraded.
So he turned to "equal" his Equalizer Dao to Fire Dao, and then used the false Fire Dao to influence Vermilion Bird Fire.
This time it finally worked!
And the effect is very obvious, directly reducing the power of Vermilion Bird Fire by several levels, to a level that Li Xiuchang can withstand. The only disadvantage is that the time it can be maintained is too short.
Only for a moment!
A moment later, the fake Fire Dao was revealed and unable to maintain itself.
"One moment is enough."
