Chapter 245: Strange vision appears, elixir is formed (two in one)

Chapter 245: Strange vision appears, elixir is formed (two in one)

Li Xiuchang attended the collective meeting of his neighbors 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 go all out to explore and collect information about the Dark Heaven with an extremely responsible attitude, extremely strict measures, and extremely powerful implementation, so as to lay a solid foundation for the future migration of the people in the Xianyin Realm.

Lu Yang affirmed Chen Changsheng's speech and expressed that he would make careful preparations and select the right person to perform this task.

Xia Sijun: "My husband is right!"

Zhang Wanzhi: "This candidate must be me, there is no one more suitable than me!"

As a result, his proposal was almost unanimously opposed.

Only Li Xiuchang and Gui Wuyan did not object.

Gui Wuyan was speechless, and Li Xiuchang immediately asked Senior Brother Zhang for help, fearing to offend him.

The last time he went to the lower world, Zhang Wanzhi caused a lot of trouble. Now naturally no one agreed to let him, an unstable element, go to the Dark Heaven.

Li Xiuchang also volunteered to go to the Dark Heaven Realm to broaden his horizons.

After everyone voted, it was decided that Motu and Li Xiuchang would take the lead in exploring the Dark Heaven Realm, while Chen Changsheng's clone would be responsible for the support.

Zhang Wanzhi was dissatisfied: "Why can Lao Mo go but I can't?"

In this regard, everyone had very good reasons:

Because the Dark Heaven Realm is a world dominated by demon cultivators, all the cultivators there are demon cultivators, and Motu is a demon cultivator, so he won't be conspicuous there.

As for Li Xiuchang, although he is not a demon cultivator, he is almost the same.

Moreover, young people need more experience. Since Li Xiuchang took the initiative to mention it, the senior brothers and sisters naturally have to give him this opportunity to experience.

Chen Changsheng is now confident that he has built the teleportation array, but it has not been completely completed and it will take some time.

It just so happens that Li Xiuchang can use this time to do some preparatory work.

The Dark Heaven Realm is different from the lower realm that Li Xiuchang went to before. It is a world on the same level as the Immortal Shade Realm, and it is rich in resources.

Even if the overall strength is not as good as the Immortal Shade Realm, it is estimated that it will not be much worse.

Therefore, this training trip is dangerous, and it does not mean that you can rest assured by following Brother Motu.

No one dares to say whether there will be any accidents. Didn't he get separated from his two brothers last time in the Zen Heart Realm?

So it is best to improve your own combat power as much as possible.

If you want to improve your combat power in a short period of time, starting with equipment is undoubtedly the best choice.

The real finished combat magic weapon on Li Xiuchang is actually a life magic weapon, Zanpakutō.

The Immortal Armor and the Bone-cutting Knife are both rough pieces of spiritual treasures.

With Li Xiuchang's financial resources, it is easy to buy a few magic weapons. Even among the spoils he has harvested in the past, there are many powerful magic weapons.

But magic weapons are not about quantity but quality.

Li Xiuchang plans to completely transform the Bone-cutting Knife and the Immortal Armor into spiritual treasures!

Normally, it is a bit difficult for a Yuanying cultivator to use spiritual treasures, but Li Xiuchang is still a fifth-level Buddhist cultivator, equivalent to a spiritual cultivator.

Spiritual treasures, even low-grade spiritual treasures, generally require cultivators in the Refining Void Stage to fully control them.

The cultivators in the Spiritualization Stage can only use it reluctantly as a means of burst.

The huge consumption of mana alone is not something that cultivators below the Void Refining Stage can afford.

But Li Xiuchang can borrow 80% of the power from the heaven and earth, and only needs to consume 20% of his mana. In addition, his mana is extremely strong, and he has a second Yuanying as big as himself as a power bank, so his mana is inexhaustible.

He feels that he can completely control the spiritual treasure now!

Even if he can't exert the full power of the spiritual treasure, it is better than ordinary magic treasures.

In addition, Li Xiuchang plans to strengthen the Rainbow Soul Banner.

The magic weapon-level Rainbow Soul Banner is no longer worthy of his current status.

It is not even worthy of the strength of his ghosts and his soul-controlling skills.

Li Xiuchang plans to take the three giants of the ghosts and all the members of the Paw Patrol with him when he goes to the Dark Heaven Realm this time. The Rainbow Soul Banner is his only soul-controlling magic weapon, so of course it needs to be upgraded.

After the meeting, Li Xiuchang found Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi.

"Brother, I would like to ask you to help me turn these two rough pieces of spiritual treasures into finished products."

Zhang Wanzhi looked at Li Xiuchang carefully and said in surprise: "Xiuchang, you are not already in the Refining Void Stage, are you? Can you use the spiritual treasures?"

"No, no, I am just making preparations in advance."

"It is indeed necessary to make preparations in advance. If you want to turn these two rough pieces into finished products, you will need a lot of high-level materials to assist. You need to purchase a batch of materials."

"Brother, give me a list and I will collect them."

Zhang Wanzhi immediately made a list of materials for Li Xiuchang. They were all up to level 6 materials, and there were even one or two level 7 auxiliary materials. Fortunately, the amount required was very small.

Afterwards, Li Xiuchang asked Brother Zhang Wanzhi how to upgrade the Rainbow Soul Banner.

After the two discussed, Zhang Wanzhi gave the idea and the general plan.

Li Xiuchang planned to upgrade the Rainbow Soul Banner by himself.

His refining skills have been upgraded to level 3 after the intensive study in recent months.

In the past three months, Li Xiuchang has focused on improving his refining skills.

A third-level refiner can skillfully create low-grade magic weapons, and an experienced third-level refiner may even have a chance to refine a mid-grade magic weapon.

And what Li Xiuchang has to do is not to refine from scratch, but to recast and upgrade the top-grade magic weapon-level Rainbow Soul Banner. With the help of Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi, the plan is much easier, so he naturally aims for a mid-grade magic weapon.

…

According to Li Xiuchang's apparent cultivation, it is a very eye-catching thing to purchase high-level refining materials.

But it is reasonable to purchase in the name of the Four Immortals Chamber of Commerce.

It is normal for the Four Immortals Chamber of Commerce to help customers purchase high-level materials. They can even use the channels of the Chamber of Commerce to purchase materials from the other three major immortal gates.

It is not so easy to purchase high-level materials. If you want to buy them quickly, you often need to pay a premium.

However, Li Xiuchang is rich and doesn't mind spending more spirit stones.

It is worth mentioning that Xiao Zhu actually contributed a lot of materials to Li Xiuchang.

They were all looted from the Pig King Cave when she left the Pig King Cave.

Although the Pig King's cultivation is not much higher than Li Xiuchang, he is a great demon who has lived for thousands of years, and his wealth accumulation is still considerable. It's a pity that most of the valuable treasures are carried by the Pig King, and only a small part is left in the cave.

When Li Xiuchang learned that the Pig King had been captured, he regretted that he could not go to the Pig King's lair to search for it. Unexpectedly, in the end, the treasures in the Pig King's cave were delivered to him in a roundabout way.

The Four Immortals Chamber of Commerce mobilized all channels to purchase materials at a premium, demonstrating its strong energy and efficiency.

It took less than half a month to purchase all the materials.

Even if the time for material transportation is included, it took less than a month for all the materials to be delivered to Li Xiuchang.

Li Xiuchang also discovered that the Four Immortals Chamber of Commerce had established a huge network of connections without knowing it.

The Four Immortals Chamber of Commerce not only connects a group of disciples from the four major immortal sects within the Chamber of Commerce, but also countless large and small merchants who have long-term cooperation with the Four Immortals Chamber of Commerce, covering the four largest markets in the Immortal Shade Realm.

Those merchants also have their own intricate connections and channels.

As long as it is profitable, they don't mind using their own network of relationships.

It's like a big tree, shaking slightly, the trunk is connected to the branches, and the branches are connected to the leaves.

Li Xiuchang realized the strength of the Four Immortals Chamber of Commerce again, and felt that it would be a waste if he didn't make good use of such a huge resource in his hands.

So he released a long-term acquisition information through the Four Immortals Chamber of Commerce to acquire all rare and precious materials and spiritual plants.

This time, Li Xiuchang spent tens of thousands of spiritual stones on the acquisition of high-level refining materials...medium-grade spiritual stones!

It was the first time that Li Xiuchang spent so many spiritual stones at one time, and he felt painful. How much smoked meat would he have to sell to make it back?

As expected, high-level materials are frighteningly expensive, not to mention that he bought them at a premium.

This is only part of the auxiliary materials for making spiritual treasures, not counting the value of the main materials and various auxiliary materials invested before.

From this, it can be seen how much it costs to make a complete spiritual treasure!

This is not counting the remuneration to be paid to the refiner. As for Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi, Li Xiuchang doesn't want more, so he can only give a little hard work fee.

Normally, it costs a lot to invite a master of refining.

After getting the materials, Li Xiuchang sent all the materials, bone-cutting knife and immortal armor to Senior Brother Zhang.

He also recast the Rainbow Soul Banner behind closed doors.

He took out a drawing, which was the recasting plan of the Rainbow Soul Banner given by Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi.

But Li Xiuchang took a look and decided to make some changes.

"The interior of the previous Rainbow Soul Banner cannot be strictly called 'space'. It can only accommodate ghosts, similar to the effect of energy containment. Ghosts are all energy bodies, so they can only hold ghosts, not any real objects."

"This time, I want to change the space in it into a space similar to the beast bag. In the future, not only real objects, but also monsters and living people can be put in it."

Li Xiuchang reached out to modify Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi's drawings.

As he modified them, he had some new ideas.

"The seven-layer space of the Rainbow Soul Banner should be divided into several spaces with clear functions. In the past, the seven spaces were mainly used to store ghosts separately, and the practical significance of multiple layers of space was not brought into play."

"Add a sealing formation in one space, which is specifically used to imprison high-level ghosts."

"Leave a space to set up a giant food trough, and set up formations and prohibitions in the trough to delay the volatilization of energy, so that the energy of the Youhan Fruit Spirit Liquid can dissipate more slowly, which is convenient for ghosts to absorb. In the future, the gathering of ghosts will be held in this space."

"Build another giant space with an area of ​​more than one acre to place giant trays. In the future, adding points to treasures will be carried out in the Soul Banner space..."

As the requirements increase, the cost will also increase, and more effort will be spent.

Li Xiuchang invested a lot of materials. Just these materials can buy several mid-grade magic weapons.

He locked himself in the room, forgetting to eat and sleep, and spent all day either refining tools and forging iron or studying drawings.

During this period, he encountered many problems, made several mistakes in some details, and wasted a lot of materials.

He improved it over and over again, making progress bit by bit...

More than a month passed in a flash, and the Rainbow Soul Banner was finally recast!

There was no change in appearance, it was still the same colorful banner as before.

But the spiritual fluctuations emanating from it were surprisingly a top-grade magic weapon!

Li Xiuchang himself was a little unbelievable.

With his level as a third-level refiner, it was normally impossible to refine a top-grade magic weapon.

He thought about it for a while and felt that it was the blessing of many factors that allowed him to refine this top-grade magic weapon soul banner.

First of all, he did not refine a magic weapon from scratch, but only recast and upgraded the Rainbow Soul Banner, which was much less difficult than refining a magic weapon directly by himself.

Or maybe Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi laid a very good foundation back then. Although the original Rainbow Soul Banner was only a top-grade magic weapon, its refining techniques and materials may have surpassed normal top-grade magic weapons.

Secondly, the drawings given by Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi also helped a lot. This drawing is obviously a master's work, and the recasting plan is extremely clever. Li Xiuchang himself could not have thought of it.

Even if he made many modifications, they were based on Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi's drawings.

The last reason is that it was Li Xiuchang's further modification that added a lot of precious materials during the recasting of the magic weapon, directly raising the quality of the magic weapon!

Under the influence of multiple reasons, Li Xiuchang, a third-level refiner, hit the mark and recast a top-grade magic weapon!

"Not bad!"

Li Xiuchang tried the Rainbow Soul Banner and was very satisfied and praised it.

This soul banner is too convenient and practical.

It perfectly retains the advantages of the previous Rainbow Soul Banner and adds many new functions.

All the points he planned were accomplished. Three layers of space in the soul flag had special uses, and the other four layers were used to store ghosts.

"In the future, if you carry a rainbow soul flag with you when you go out, you can save the beast bag and even the storage bag."

Having said that, Li Xiuchang certainly did not really replace the storage bag with the rainbow soul flag.

In addition to the expansion of functionality, the power of the rainbow soul flag has also undergone earth-shaking changes. The blessing of soul control spells and the bonus to ghosts are many times stronger.

"I believe that this time when I go to the Dark Heaven Realm, the rainbow soul flag will definitely shine!"

...

Li Xiuchang's side was completed, but Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi had not yet refined two spiritual treasures.

It's not that the spiritual treasures are 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 to find Motu to play chess, which delays him.

Li Xiuchang did not urge him, anyway, Chen Changsheng's teleportation array had not been set up yet.

Just suspend the weapon refining course to give Zhang Wanzhi more time.

After the recasting of the Rainbow Soul Banner, Li Xiuchang found that he had gained a lot, and had a lot of new understanding of the way of weapon refining, and his weapon refining skills had improved by leaps and bounds!

I feel that if I work harder, I can break through to the fourth level.

After the past few months of learning, Li Xiuchang has made considerable progress in all his skills. The weapon refining skills are likely to become the third skill to enter the fourth level after spiritual plants and spiritual kitchens.

That day, the little turtle came to teach Li Xiuchang the formation class.

It already knew about the cross-border teleportation formation, and knew that Li Xiuchang was about to embark on a new journey, and it was quite envious.

It said: "Xiuchang, why don't you take me with you?"

Li Xiuchang said helplessly: "This is just one of your clones. Why do you always want to go out? Isn't your original body already out there and free and easy?"

Speaking of its original body, Wenwen also became excited: "My original body is indeed living a wonderful life every day now, but... it will still be boring after a long time, but now I can't leave even if I want to."

"What's going on?" Li Xiuchang asked curiously.

Wenwen sighed and said: "I told you before that I went to a world full of magic cultivators. I unified the entire magic world there and now I have become the master of the magic world."

The magic world that Wenwen went to was only at the same level as the Wanshan Realm. The strength 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 little vicissitude in his eyes. "The people in that world have suffered from the demons for a long time. The appearance of this turtle has given them a glimmer of hope. The demon cultivators are under the control of this turtle and now dare not do evil again, but if this turtle leaves..."

"There, the people all respect this turtle as the 'divine turtle', and have built countless temples for this turtle, spontaneously founded the Divine Turtle Religion, countless people believe in this turtle, and worship it day and night. How can this turtle bear to abandon them?"

Li Xiuchang suggested: "Brother Turtle might as well follow the example of the last demon lord and kill all the demon cultivators in the world."

"It won't work. You can't imagine what it would be like if the whole world was full of demon cultivators. It's impossible to kill them all! There are not so many demon cultivators in the Xianyin Realm. The last demon lord couldn't kill all of them. The remnants of the demon cultivators still survive to this day. This turtle alone cannot do it. "

"Then Brother Turtle can only trouble you to stay there for a while. When my cultivation level is improved, I will definitely go there to help you. Together, we can definitely kill all the demon cultivators!"

Wenwen's eyes were full of emotion: "Good brother, then I will wait for you. Together, we turtles can definitely kill the demons and eradicate them!"

Senior Brother Chen's trick was really great. It trapped Wenwen tightly and prevented it from going to other worlds to cause trouble... Li Xiuchang admired Chen Changsheng's arrangement very much, and he did not forget to remind Wenwen:

"Brother Turtle killed the demon cultivators. If there are ghosts who become ghosts, please help me collect the ghosts. Don't waste them. Otherwise, the ghosts will become evil spirits in the future and will harm the people. "

"Okay, this turtle will definitely keep them for you. "

Next, it will enter the daily formation class.

Wenwen continued to teach the extreme formation, specializing in breaking the formation.

After a class, Wenwen Turtle did not stop and continued to teach Jinjiao.

Li Xiuchang thought of something and suggested: "Brother Turtle, Jinjiao's defense is already strong enough, why don't you help it increase its speed."

He remembered that one of the main reasons he gave up using Jinjiao as a mount was because Jinjiao didn't fly fast enough.

Jinjiao's flying speed is actually not slow, but it is just 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 it is placed among monsters of the same size, Jinjiao will definitely be the fastest.

Li Xiuchang is still not giving up, and wants Wenwen to give Jinjiao special training in speed.

Li Xiuchang knows very well that Senior Brother Chen Changsheng has already maxed out the defense and escape skills. Wenwen has learned the true teachings of Senior Brother Chen, and these two skills are also terrifyingly strong.

Being good at escaping must be fast.

Wenwen has already taught Jinjiao the defense ability before, and now it is time to teach him some escape skills to increase Jinjiao's speed.

As long as Jinjiao's speed is improved, it can still overcome difficulties, and it can be used as a mount when necessary.

"No problem, teach me, you let Jinjiao follow me for a few days, I will give it a wave of training, and I guarantee that it will fly faster than a turtle in the future!"

"Faster than a turtle?" Li Xiuchang thought to himself when did turtle become synonymous with speed?

"Well, this is an exaggeration. If you want to fly faster than a turtle, it won't be done in a short time."

"Okay, then Jinjiao will follow you in the next few days."

Li Xiuchang gave Jinjiao an order, asking it to learn skills from the little turtle.

He no longer worried that Jinjiao would be led astray by Wenwen. With Jinjiao's cowardly look, he would be happy if he could follow the little turtle to become braver.

...

A few days later, Senior Sister Xia and Senior Brother Luyang suddenly had to go out.

Because the longevity pill refined by Senior Sister Xia was about to be produced, the pill would inevitably cause strange phenomena in the world, and there would be a lot of noise.

So it was necessary to go outside to make the pill.

Senior Brother Luyang would follow his wife and husband, and would definitely go there to protect the law.

This pill was related to Senior Brother Gui's life span of hundreds of years, so he naturally had to go and take a look.

As soon as the three senior brothers and sisters left, Donggeng District suddenly became deserted.

Li Xiuchang found that everyone in the entire Donggeng District was busy except him and Senior Brother Motu.

He could only practice his skills out of boredom.

The next day, a strange phenomenon appeared on a mountaintop a hundred miles away from Xianchen Sect.

There was a rosy glow descending from the sky, a crane soaring, auspicious clouds gathering on the top of the mountain, and fairy music floating...

The elders of Xianchen Sect noticed the strange phenomenon at the first time, but when they rushed over, they only found that the air was filled with a strong fragrance of elixir. After taking a breath, they felt physically and mentally relaxed and full of energy.

The grass and trees on the top of the mountain were taller than those elsewhere.

"Is anyone refining elixir here?"

...

At this time, Xia Sijun, who created the strange phenomenon, had already returned to Donggeng District.

"Senior Sister Xia, is the elixir refining going smoothly?" Li Xiuchang asked with concern.

"How can it be that I can't do it smoothly?" Xia Sijun said proudly.

I saw Gui Wuyan took out a jade bottle, opened the bottle cap, and a hint of elixir fragrance floated out.

Li Xiuchang only took a sip and smelled the taste of longevity.

Xia Sijun urged: "Old Gui, take the pill quickly. I have a few questions to ask you. I have been holding them back for a long time."

Gui Wuyan shook his head and suddenly stuffed the jade bottle into Li Xiuchang's hand. A line of words floated above his head: "This medicine, Xiuchang, keep it for me."

Xia Sijun and Lu Yang were both surprised, and even Li Xiuchang was a little unbelievable: "Senior Brother, you only have a few months left to live..."

Gui Wuyan's head was filled with words: "It doesn't matter. If I take this pill now, it will be consumed in one or two years at most. You help me keep it and use it at a critical moment."

Xia Sijun raised his eyebrows: "Gui Dumb, you are waiting for me here? How are you going to pay for the alchemy?"

The alchemy reward they agreed on was Gui Wuyan answering Xia Sijun's three questions.

Gui Wuyan: "I owe it first."

Xia Sijun wanted to say something, but when she looked at her husband and saw Lu Yang nodded, she snorted and agreed.

Lu Yang said, "Xiu Chang, you should help your Senior Brother Gui to collect the pills. The pills are only safe if they are kept with you. If they are kept with others, someone might force feed them to your Senior Brother Gui at any time."

"And..." Lu Yang glanced at Gui Wuyan, "Your Senior Brother Gui is a fortune teller."

Li Xiuchang's heart moved slightly. Lu Yang's last sentence was very implicit.

But it seemed to imply that Gui Wuyan was a fortune teller, and there might be deep meanings behind his every move.

He specifically asked him to collect the Wanshou Pill, and he must have his intentions.

Li Xiuchang suddenly thought of his length plug-in. He seemed to be able to add some points to the Wanshou Pill.

Could it be that Senior Brother Gui wanted him to add some points to the pill and give it to him after it became bigger?

That would definitely increase his lifespan a lot.

However, Li Xiuchang immediately denied this guess. Senior Brother Gui should not have calculated the existence of the length plug-in.
