A Small Test

In the blink of an eye.

Cheng Buzheng appeared within the canyon. The terrain of the canyon resembled a sea bowl; the surrounding mountains acted as the bowl's walls, while the canyon floor served as the base.

There were no entrances or exits through the surrounding mountains, which ensured the secrecy of this location.

Seeing such a secluded place, his heart stirred with anticipation; he could not wait to understand the power of the Purple Crystal Bracelet.

Cheng Buzheng flipped his right hand, and the Purple Crystal Bracelet hovered above his palm, spinning rapidly. As it rotated, a cold gleam radiated outward, and the air seemed to turn into a tangible substance, sliced into ripples.

He flicked his right hand, and the Purple Crystal Bracelet spun at high speed. The air exploded with a roar as streams of air were sliced apart, rushing toward the distant cliff wall. Fine ripples of air remained in its wake, though they dissipated after a short while.

"Boom... boom!"

Before his eyes, the distant cliff wall had been cut into a chaotic mess.

Seeing this, Cheng Buzheng was greatly satisfied. His thought stirred, and the Purple Crystal Bracelet flew back with an explosive sound.

In the blink of an eye.

The Purple Crystal Bracelet hovered before him. He then tested the auxiliary abilities of the bracelet.

As the surface of the Purple Crystal Bracelet shone faintly, a purple rosy cloud shot out. Within a radius of one zhang, the flowers and grass instantly flattened against the ground, stripped of any power to resist.

Even the branches of the trees seemed unable to bear the weight, snapping one after another under the invisible force.

Finally, even the trunks were pressed down to the ground by the invisible force.

It seemed that within this one-zhang radius, nothing could hold its head up before the Purple Crystal Bracelet.

Seeing this, Cheng Buzheng decided to experience it personally and walked into the one-zhang space beneath the Purple Crystal Bracelet.

Instantly.

He felt that walking on the ground had become extremely difficult. Even circulating his magic power became much harder, though he could still manage to stir enough power to escape.

This was the auxiliary ability of the Purple Crystal Bracelet: the Gravity Domain. He was deeply satisfied with it.

Now, only the final ability remained untested: defense.

His thought stirred.

The surface of the Purple Crystal Bracelet blossomed with purple light, and the inner ring emitted a purple glow that enveloped the space below.

Looking from the outside, it resembled an egg-shaped purple light membrane, enclosing the Purple Crystal Bracelet within. It stood there quietly, radiating a soft purple halo.

Cheng Buzheng stepped forward to personally test exactly how strong this defensive shield was.

Magic power surged within his dantian, and a red magic power manifested on his right arm.

Instantly.

The air exploded. Cheng Buzheng's right hand tore through the air waves, causing them to ripple and scatter in all directions.

"Boom!"

A thunderous sound echoed through the valley.

Cheng Buzheng's right fist collided with the purple halo. The egg-shaped purple defensive shield rippled slightly.

After one strike, he did not attack again, as he was now clear on the defensive power of the Purple Crystal Bracelet.

Moreover, there were still many spirit materials in his storage bag waiting for the Purple Crystal Bracelet to devour them.

By then, its power in all aspects would increase significantly. He was not sure if these spirit materials could push the Purple Crystal Bracelet to its limit, but he suspected it would be close.

After all, his storage bag contained a complete low-grade magic tool whose essence had barely leaked, as well as many spirit mines and magic tool fragments. Combined with what had been devoured previously, it should be enough.

Thinking of this, he could not wait to know the ultimate power of the Purple Crystal Bracelet, so he put it away.

Instantly, a yellow light flashed, and Cheng Buzheng sank into the earth, his figure blurring as he tunneled rapidly downward.

In the blink of an eye, he reached six zhang underground. Cheng Buzheng flipped his right hand, and the Purple Crystal Bracelet appeared in his palm.

His mind stirred, and the Purple Crystal Bracelet expanded to the size of one zhang, moving up and down like a pile driver, continuously compacting the earth.

Before long.

A secret chamber one zhang in diameter was formed. Cheng Buzheng did not care about the dirt on the floor and sat down cross-legged.

He swept his storage bag, placing the Green Iron Ore, Lihuo Steel Ore, and a scrapped Magic Tool Red Small Sword he had purchased today onto the ground.

He flipped his right hand, and the Purple Crystal Bracelet hovered above the secret chamber.

Cheng Buzheng cast a spell technique. The spirit patterns densely packed inside the hovering Purple Crystal Bracelet blossomed with purple light, projecting outward. A purple spirit light enveloped the various spirit mines.

Countless points of light drifted into the Purple Crystal Bracelet above. Before long, the various spirit mines on the ground turned into useless slag, devoid of any value.

Seeing this, Cheng Buzheng's thought stirred, and the purple spirit light once again enveloped the various magic tool fragments and the scrapped magic tool.

Countless points of light drifted out from the fragments and the scrapped tool, flying toward the Purple Crystal Bracelet hovering in the air.

The metallic luster on the surface of the Purple Crystal Bracelet grew increasingly intense, as if it were crafted from purple metal.

As the Purple Crystal Bracelet continuously absorbed the essence of the spiritual items, scarlet patterns appeared on its surface, gradually spreading until it looked much more ferocious than before.

When the scarlet patterns completely covered the Purple Crystal Bracelet, it could no longer absorb the essence of the spiritual items. He understood that this magic tool had reached its limit and could not be improved by even a fraction.

At this moment, only the scrapped magic tool remained intact on the ground, though it looked much more fragile than before. The spirit mines had turned into waste stone, and the magic tool fragments had become a pile of scrap iron.

He gripped a piece of spirit mine, and with a slight exertion of force, it slipped through his fingers like quicksand.

Cheng Buzheng reached out and beckoned, stowing away the intact scrapped magic tool; after all, the essence of the spiritual items within the tool had not been fully absorbed, and it would be a waste to leave it behind.

Afterward, his gaze fell upon the Purple Crystal Bracelet floating before him, and with a wave of his hand, the item landed in his palm.

He examined it carefully and discovered that the metallic texture of the Purple Crystal Bracelet was far superior to before, appearing as if it had been forged from solid metal, while the eighty-one blades along the outer rim glinted with a chilling, intimidating light.

The scarlet patterns on the surface of the Purple Crystal Bracelet made it clear to anyone who saw them that this was a lethal weapon for slaying enemies.

He studied it for a long while, then flipped his right hand, causing the Purple Crystal Bracelet to transform into a pattern that sank into the back of his hand.

Cheng Buzheng took out three jade slips and began to examine them; then, he calmed his mind and focused, his consciousness entering his soul.

Master of the Heavenly Jade Disc: Cheng Buzheng

Realm: Third Level of Qi Refining

First-Order Cultivation Technique: Mid-grade (Boutique) Crimson Fire Technique+, Low-grade (Common) Hou Tu Jue (Not yet initiated)+, Low-grade (Common) Jin Guang Jue (Not yet initiated)+

First-Order Spell: Low-grade (Ultimate) Purple Crystal Bracelet+, Low-grade (Ultimate) Earth Escape Technique+, Low-grade (Common) Concealment Technique (Not yet initiated)+

Spiritual Power Value: 10

He had long harbored a wild idea in his heart, preparing to deduce a cultivation technique suited to himself; now that everything was ready, he only lacked that final push!

Memories concerning Crimson Fire Technique, Hou Tu Jue, and Jin Guang Jue surged forth, and he immediately condensed the full memories of the three techniques into the shape of a seed.

He placed it directly into the recessed nest at the center of the small plate, and the tiny figure formed by his three-colored soul arrived above the small plate, extending a finger to tap the panel three times in succession.

Suddenly.

The spiritual power value on the panel decreased by nine points, and below the panel, the patterns on the surface of the small plate lit up slightly as bursts of white light coiled around the seed inside the recessed nest.

The seed was enveloped by the white light; as the small plate proceeded with its deduction, the white light gradually dimmed until it finally formed a grey bead.
