Chapter 363 Immortal-level spiritual plants, immortal-level materials
The extra reward of Qinglong Pass is the dragon blood tree seed, which needs to be successfully planted in the illusion.
Li Xiuchang stood in front of the Qinglong statue, and his consciousness sank into the illusion again.
This time the illusion was very simple, with only a seed and a piece of land.
A spiritual plant grandmaster got a strange spiritual plant seed, and the first step was to analyze the internal structure of the seed.
Li Xiuchang's consciousness probed into the inside of the dragon blood tree seed, observing the layers of structure inside the seed, feeling the vigorous vitality contained in the seed, and a trace of the taste of the blood of the Qinglong that was barely detectable.
The dragon blood tree seed was originally created by Qinglong fusing his own blood.
"The dragon blood tree seed, as a spiritual plant seed created by Qinglong with all his efforts, is undoubtedly at the level of an immortal plant, but the seed in the illusion has obviously been adjusted."
With Li Xiuchang's current level of spiritual plants as an eighth-level grandmaster, coupled with his cultivation in the Hedao period, it is impossible to plant a real immortal plant seed.
Therefore, this seed in the illusion is a weakened version, and the difficulty of planting is reduced.
Li Xiuchang had previously watched Qinglong plant the dragon blood tree, and combined with his own understanding, he developed a planting plan that best suited him based on the various characteristics of the dragon blood tree seeds.
He could not completely copy Qinglong's planting method because he did not have the same powerful control of the wood path as Qinglong.
Li Xiuchang held the dragon blood tree seeds in his hands and began to inject spiritual power to stimulate the vitality inside the seeds. This was a great test of the spiritual plant husband's control of spiritual energy, and if he was not careful, he might cause irreversible damage to the seeds.
The short germination process seemed simple, but it actually contained many skills.
First, complete the germination in your hands, let the dragon blood tree seeds become a small sapling, and then plant it in the soil.
Li Xiuchang carefully completed these steps, and then began to ripen the saplings.
This level tested him to successfully plant the dragon blood tree, not to complete the germination and planting, at least the saplings must be ripened to a certain extent to ensure that they will not die, and then the task is completed.
Because it was in the illusion, Li Xiuchang could not use the treasures he had on him to ripen the spiritual plants, and he could only rely on his own skills.
This level is absolutely difficult for those who have no spiritual plant skills and only master some wood avenues.
Imagine that even if the steady main body came in person, even if it had comprehended a lot of wood avenues in the Qinglong Pass, but without mastering the spiritual plant skills, it was asked to plant the dragon blood tree only by mastering the wood avenue...
Then the only choice is to imitate the planting method of Qinglong, relying on the understanding of the wood avenue, throwing away all skills, and forcibly ripening.
It is too difficult to do this. Only those who are extremely gifted in the wood avenue or have a deep foundation in the wood avenue can do it.
But for people like Li Xiuchang who are very proficient in spiritual plant skills, it can be regarded as a loophole.
This level cannot be said to be simple for him, but it is not very difficult either. In the end, the dragon blood tree seedlings were ripened little by little without any danger...
It just took a little more time.
And this is only the speed of time in the illusion, it is estimated that not too long has passed in reality.
When the dragon blood tree is ripened to a height of one person, the small tree is already strong enough and will not die without accidents.
Only then did the task complete. After getting out of the illusion, Li Xiuchang opened his eyes in a trance, and saw the Azure Dragon statue open its mouth, and the seed in its mouth fell into his hand.
Feeling the heavy weight in his hand, Li Xiuchang's consciousness scanned the vigorous seed... This is the real fairy plant seed!
At present, Li Xiuchang can't even plant this seed, maybe he can only go back to ask Brother Motu for help.
However, Li Xiuchang has another idea. He wants to plant the dragon blood tree seed in the second Dantian space, where the spiritual plant grows stronger and will also have a reversion phenomenon, which can make the dragon blood tree surpass the original grade!
Therefore, it is better to wait until he is able to plant it himself.
Or add some points to the seed to make it a giant seed, and then entrust Brother Motu to plant it.
After adding points to the seeds, the grade of the spiritual plants grown will be improved, but the difficulty of planting will also increase.
If Li Xiuchang wants to plant the dragon blood tree after adding points, it will take a long time. It is better to ask Brother Motu to plant it in the outside world.
"A long time has passed in the illusion, but it is only one day in reality." Li Xiuchang looked around and found that the four teammates were waiting for him.
These four guys gave up getting extra rewards, knowing that they were not that kind of material.
Li Xiuchang continued to challenge to get the extra rewards of the White Tiger Pass.
He entered the illusion again, and this time the test was "refining equipment".
All the refining equipment around him were complete. In front of him was a wooden barrel with a piece of metal in it.
To be precise, it was a piece of liquid metal. Li Xiuchang blew into the barrel, and ripples appeared on the surface of the metal.
It was such a piece of water-like metal that he had to refine into an equipment.
Li Xiuchang had never seen or heard of this kind of metal material, but it was not surprising. White Tiger could create all kinds of metals, and this kind of liquid metal was probably created by White Tiger.
Ordinary metal materials need to be heated before they can be melted into liquid.
Moreover, the higher the level of metal material, the more difficult it is to melt, and it has high requirements for flames, so the difficulty of forging naturally increases.
But the metal in front of him is very abnormal. Not only does it remain liquid at room temperature, but the material level is not low. It is actually a sixth-level material.
Sixth-level materials can already be used to refine spiritual treasures.
The goal of this level is to refine this sixth-level material into a spiritual treasure.
As a seventh-level refiner, Li Xiuchang certainly has no problem refining a low-grade spiritual treasure. The difficulty of this level lies mainly in how to deal with this liquid metal material.
To refine a spiritual treasure with this liquid metal alone, without mixing other materials, the difficulty is immediately increased.
It is a great test of his understanding of materials.
If you don’t have a deep understanding of the material, it’s probably difficult to handle this liquid metal material.
“Forging is not difficult…”
It remains liquid at room temperature, but it will solidify sooner or later if the temperature is lowered. 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 certainly cannot be used at low temperatures all the time.
If a sword is forged, it melts as soon as the temperature returns to normal, what’s the use?
Or it may pierce the enemy's body and be melted by the enemy's body temperature directly...
Therefore, before starting the 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 the properties of the liquid metal in various aspects, and he immediately knew it in his mind.
"It must not be used to forge weapons such as swords. The force dissipation effect is quite good. It can absorb the enemy's attack and is more suitable for forging into a defensive spiritual treasure."
"It is not impossible to forge it into an attacking spiritual treasure, but it can only be an unconventional attacking spiritual treasure. It is very troublesome and unnecessary."
Li Xiuchang is not here to show off his skills. He just wants to complete the test and get a reward.
Therefore, he chose to forge it into a simpler defensive spiritual treasure.
"Forge it into a cloak!"
Clarify the idea, design the drawings, and start working!
First, cool down and use magic to freeze the liquid metal to make it solid.
After that, he operated the forging under low temperature, engraved the formation, and put in the prohibition...
Step by step, until the final refining was completed, a steel plate-like cloak appeared in Li Xiuchang's hand.
When he removed the low temperature and returned to normal temperature, the steel plate cloak melted immediately and finally became a liquid cloak.
Although it melted into liquid, it still maintained its shape.
This cloak has outstanding defensive capabilities, especially for various spell attacks, and its grade is also a low-grade spiritual treasure.
Li Xiuchang successfully completed the task and exited from the illusion.
The white tiger statue in front of him also slightly raised its claws, completely revealing the black metal under its claws.
Li Xiuchang took the coal-like metal and didn't see anything else, only that the metal material was of good grade!
Immortal-level material!
"Very good, another treasure at the bottom of the box."
Although the treasures obtained in the secret realm are good, they are all unusable to Li Xiuchang at this stage, and the level of each one is too high.
Since this piece of black metal is valued by the White Tiger and made by the White Tiger himself, it must not be an ordinary fairy-level material.
The specific function needs to be studied carefully after returning.
Because he is not sure what the function is, Li Xiuchang temporarily named this black metal, "White Tiger Black Gold".
"Keep going!"
After getting two extra rewards in a row, Li Xiuchang was in good momentum and immediately came to the Vermillion Bird Stone Statue, ready to "take chestnuts from the fire".
With a bang, the ball of fire on the head of the Vermillion Bird Stone Statue suddenly grew larger, large enough to accommodate more than ten people.
Li Xiuchang needs to rush into the flames, get the fire, and then retreat safely.
Before getting close to the flames, Li Xiuchang felt the terrifying high temperature that made his skin hurt. If he stayed a little longer, he felt that the water in his body would be completely evaporated.
It seems to be courting death to force his way in.
The normal idea of this level should be to use one's own powerful ability to comprehend the Great Dao of Fire to try to control these flames.
Not to mention complete control, at least you have to be able to influence this flame and reduce the damage of the flame to yourself, so that you can enter it and obtain the fire.
But Li Xiuchang, he has a hammer of the understanding of the Great Dao of Fire!
It's not that he doesn't have it at all, but he is still far from being able to control this extremely high-level flame.
He was able to obtain the essence of the Vermillion Bird, thanks to the fact that his four teammates were too weak, and the Great Dao of Fire was a failure.
"What should I do?"
At this time, I can only use my brain.
Li Xiuchang took out a box made of magma. Although this box is not a treasure, it can hold the flame of the Burning Immortal Grass, and maybe it can also block the flame in front of me.
But the facts proved that it was not possible, and the box was directly melted into magma.
It seems that there is still one thing that can conquer another thing. The magma box that can conquer the Burning Immortal Grass cannot conquer this nameless fire.
After that, he took out various materials one after another, as well as pots and pans, but none of them could withstand the flame.
Even the furnace he used to refine pills and tools could not withstand it and was burned!
In the last attempt, except for the "White Tiger Black Gold" that 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, I found that only the Hundred Refinement Immortal Iron could withstand this kind of flame.
The Hundred Refinement Immortal Iron was originally of low grade, and it was forged into an immortal grade material with the help of Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi.
Because it was not used for the time being, it was kept in the storage bag and was not further forged and upgraded.
Li Xiuchang put it on the Vermillion Bird Fire and burned it. After many observations, he confirmed that the Hundred Refined Immortal Iron could withstand the burning of the Vermillion Bird Fire for a moment, but only for a few seconds.
After a few seconds, it will deform and cannot be isolated from the temperature of the Vermillion Bird Fire.
After a few more seconds, it will begin to melt.
In less than half a minute, it will also be melted into molten iron.
After thinking about it, Li Xiuchang came up with an idea. He could use the Hundred Refined Immortal Iron to make a temporary "armor", or an iron barrel, to completely protect himself and completely isolate himself.
After that, he could carry this iron barrel, rush into the fire to get the fire, and then retreat.
A few seconds is more than enough.
After a few seconds, if the temperature of the Vermillion Bird Fire penetrates into the iron barrel, it does not need to burn Li Xiuchang. The terrifying temperature alone can directly roast him.
It is not difficult to forge such an iron barrel. Under normal circumstances, Li Xiuchang cannot hit the Hundred Refined Immortal Iron, and naturally cannot shape it.
But now there is a ready-made fairy flame here, which can be used to melt the Hundred Refined Immortal Iron.
Li Xiuchang first put the Hundred Refined Immortal Iron into the storage bag, silently added some and then took it out.
Then he used local materials to melt the Hundred Refined Immortal Iron with the Vermillion Bird Fire.
When the Hundred Refined Immortal Iron was about to melt, he shaped it into an iron barrel, leaving only a small opening for entry and exit.
Then he took a separate piece of Hundred Refined Immortal Iron and made it into a lid to block this exit.
At this point, a simple temporary iron barrel was completed, and it could be rushed into the flames after cooling.
However, there was still a problem, that is, at the moment of taking the fire, he had to take off the lid, which would expose him to the flames!
Although it was only for a moment, he had to find a way to protect himself.
"Can the Equality Path come in handy?"
Li Xiuchang had a flash of inspiration in his mind. Although his understanding of the Great Dao of Fire was ordinary, his understanding of the Equality Path was deep enough!
Why can't the Equality Path be equal to the Great Dao of Fire?
Even if it was only "equal" for a moment, it would be enough.
Li Xiuchang immediately began to try. He first tried to weaken the flame. They were all fire, so why couldn't this Suzaku Fire become an ordinary flame?
But he failed. The status of the Suzaku Fire was too high for him, and it was not something that his current Equality Path could downgrade.
So he turned his Equality Path to "equalize" the Great Dao of Fire, and then used the fake Great Dao of Fire to influence the Suzaku Fire.
This time it finally worked!
And the effect was very obvious, directly reducing the power of the Suzaku Fire by several levels, to a level that Li Xiuchang could bear. The only drawback was that it could be maintained for too short a time.
Only for a moment!
After a moment, the fake Great Dao of Fire was exposed and unable to maintain.
"A moment is enough."
