I am really not a medical immortal.-Chapter 1532 - 1531: The Treasure (Seventh Update)
"Given my current cultivation, I should be able to refine intermediate magic artifacts now!" Zhang Xiaohao’s eyes twinkled.
With a thought, information about artifact refining from the Three Pure Ones Scripture appeared in his mental sea. Zhang Xiaohao pondered carefully.
A day later.
Zhang Xiaohao flipped his palm, a golden flame appeared in his palm, it was the World-purifying Heavenly Fire. Grasping the materials from the ground, he began the refining process.
Whenever his spiritual power was about to be exhausted, Zhang Xiaohao would grab some high-grade spirit stones and use the Shennong Reincarnation Scripture to absorb the spiritual power within the stones, restoring his spiritual power.
Then he’d return to the refining process.
Various restrictive techniques were continuously deployed with his hand gestures, embedding into these intermediate artifacts, and at the same time, there were two formations...
Zhang Xiaohao seemed like a tireless machine, producing artifact after artifact, formation flags, and Sky Bombs, one after another, from his hands onto the ground.
In the middle, Zhang Xiaohao paused only once. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
To understand the techniques for crafting puppets, and the rest of the time, he was wholly dedicated to refining magic artifacts.
Compared to refining artifacts, crafting puppets was much more challenging.
It required different techniques to combine, and crucially, carving a Spirit Gathering Array at certain points, so that the puppet could function. Fortunately, with the Three Pure Ones Scripture, everything went smoothly.
As the first puppet was successfully crafted, the subsequent puppet crafting became second nature for Zhang Xiaohao.
Defensive puppets, attack puppets, speed-based puppets, comprehensive puppets, etc., one after another, continuously crafted by Zhang Xiaohao, landed on the ground.
Thus, a month passed.
The materials around Zhang Xiaohao were nearly exhausted, but of course, the gains were substantial.
The materials he had previously purchased had all been refined into magic artifacts, formation flags, Sky Bombs, puppets, and more.
There were over two hundred intermediate magic artifacts, including a dozen spirit boats that could expand or contract. Once they flew in the sky, they could morph to different sizes based on the master’s will. They were very fast, each with eight restrictions and two formations.
There were more than a hundred sets of formation flags, all meant for Foundation Establishment Realm. If combined, even a Golden Core Realm expert would have to peel off a layer of skin to escape unharmed.
Sky Bombs were a key focus; Zhang Xiaohao refined over a thousand of them. With so many Sky Bombs, even a Nascent Soul Realm monster couldn’t withstand them, could they?
As for the various shapes of puppets, while he had purchased many materials, crafting these puppets consumed too many materials. Although Zhang Xiaohao hadn’t failed once in crafting them, the combined materials only yielded over eight hundred puppets. With enough spirit stones, these puppets could all unleash combat power of the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment, incredibly powerful, and if unleashed together, heh, a Golden Core Realm expert would be severely injured if not killed.
In addition to these, Zhang Xiaohao also refined some Essence Origin Pills, Essence Boosting Pills, Nourishing Yuan Pills, and other elixirs needed for Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation. Using the Underworld Mask, a small portion of these elixirs were converted into high-grade spirit stones.
"Phew! It’s finally over, I almost exhausted myself!" Zhang Xiaohao exhaled a long breath.
Looking at the items on the ground, Zhang Xiaohao smiled, waved his hand, and stored everything into the Shennong Ring.
"Calculating the time, the year’s term should almost be over, right?" Zhang Xiaohao murmured to himself.
Looking at Lan Lingling, still cultivating, supported by Zhang Xiaohao’s abundant elixirs, the young girl had now broken through to the Early Foundation Establishment stage, her whole body enveloped in rings of black demonic qi, looking just like a witch.
Seemingly sensing Zhang Xiaohao’s gaze, Lan Lingling also finished her cultivation at this moment.
"Ah! Brother Xu, why are you looking at me like that? Do I have flowers growing on my face?" Lan Lingling asked, her face blushing.
"Have you broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.
"Yes! With Brother Xu’s help from those elixirs, plus this meditation mat, how could I not break through? If I hadn’t, I might as well buy a block of tofu and knock myself dead." Lan Lingling smiled sweetly.
"This is for you!" Zhang Xiaohao took out a storage bag and tossed it over.
"What is this, Brother Xu?" Lan Lingling asked, puzzled.
"It holds some elixirs, some magic artifacts, and puppets for self-defense, and so on," Zhang Xiaohao explained.
"Thank you, Brother Xu, I won’t be polite then." Lan Lingling said with a smile.
She put away the storage bag and moved gracefully to Zhang Xiaohao’s side.
"Brother Xu, I want it!"
"Now?" Zhang Xiaohao frowned.
Lan Lingling said nothing, knelt on the ground, opened her tempting little mouth, and used her actions to express everything.
Roar!
Ten minutes later, the battle began...
A day passed.
Zhang Xiaohao, invigorated, put on his clothes.
"Hurry and put on your clothes, I have some things to instruct you on," Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.
"You may speak, Brother Xu," Lan Lingling replied.
"Later, I will go to a secret realm with Bai Xuefeng and the others. During the time I’m away, stay in this cave dwelling and cultivate. With the elixirs I’ve left you, they should be enough for you to cultivate for a long time! If we do not return within ten years, you may decide whether to rent for a few more years. Your cultivation must at least reach Perfect Foundation Establishment before exiting, understood?" Zhang Xiaohao instructed seriously.
"I will, Brother Xu, I will not disappoint you!" Lan Lingling nodded firmly.
"Okay, wait for me here, I’ll go call them." Zhang Xiaohao said.
Then, he walked towards the room where Bai Xuefeng and the others were.
A moment later, Zhang Xiaohao arrived outside the room where Bai Xuefeng and Mu Lingfeng were.
He took out a golden token, flicked it with one hand, removed the surrounding restrictions, and sent a sound transmission talisman inside.
Sizzle!
Soon, the door of the cave dwelling opened, and Bai Xuefeng and Mu Lingfeng came out together.
"Not bad! In just a year, you’ve broken through from the Qi Refining Realm to the Foundation Establishment Realm. It seems you’ve been working hard during this time!" Zhang Xiaohao said.
"It’s all thanks to Brother Xu’s help. If it weren’t for your elixirs and the rich nature’s spiritual energy in this cave dwelling, I fear we wouldn’t have been able to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm in our lifetimes!" Bai Xuefeng said sincerely.
"Hmm!" Zhang Xiaohao nodded.
"A year has passed, the treasure left by your ancestors should have opened, right?"
