Chapter 78 Golden Sun Divine Fire Banner
Chapter 78 Golden Sun Divine Fire Banner
Luo Qing waved her hand, suppressing the discomfort in her body. Her voice was weak, but she remained calm:
"It's alright, it's just that the move I just used put too much strain on my body and caused some backlash."
The speed of the Shadow Fist is already comparable to that of the Blood Shadow Escape. After condensing the Dharma Body and merging it with the physical body, the physical body will be forcibly dragged to such an extreme speed.
At this moment, Luo Qing was not protected by any escape light, and his physical strength alone was not enough to withstand this speed.
He used this move to instantly kill Zhao Fengyun in order to completely intimidate the cultivators from Crimson Fire Island.
In other words, Luo Qing has been stubbornly holding on ever since then.
"Stop talking, sit down cross-legged first, and I'll help you regulate your breathing."
With a worried expression, Fan Jingmei helped Luo Qing sit down cross-legged and then channeled her magic power into Luo Qing's body.
The two had practiced dual cultivation techniques together, so their magical powers could easily merge. When they worked together, the healing effect was indeed much stronger than if Luo Qing had done it alone.
A whole day passed, and Luo Qing's physical injuries had basically healed. Apart from no longer being able to use the Condensing Technique: Shadow Fist, there were no other obstacles left.
"That's good, thank you. Otherwise, I would have had to go into seclusion for three days before I could move around freely."
He finished his practice, stood up, stretched his muscles and bones, which made a slight cracking sound. He then reached out and lightly pinched Fan Jingmei's buttocks as a reward for her gratitude.
"You rascal, you're never serious."
Fan Jingmei slapped his hand away, but her face showed no anger. Instead, her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and she asked in a serious tone:
"Are you really planning to keep those eight Crimson Fire Island cultivators? They are outsiders after all, and there's no guarantee they won't cause trouble."
Luo Qing naturally understood her concerns, and her tone was calm yet resolute:
"As long as they do their job properly, I will not break my promise, much less discard them after they have served their purpose."
You don't need to worry about them going out and saying things that don't go your way.
They're in a similar situation to you now; they're all being coerced into doing things by me. If they start spreading rumors, they'll be the ones who suffer first.
"I'm probably overthinking it."
Fan Jingmei still had some concerns, but seeing that Luo Qing acted with propriety and kept his promises, and was not a sinister or evil cultivator, she felt a little happy and said no more.
With the overall situation settled, the days that followed became somewhat dull.
The eight cultivators from Crimson Fire Island searched for spiritual materials every day as instructed by Luo Qing, without a moment's rest and without daring to slack off in the slightest.
Luo Qing and Fan Jingmei did not stop either. While exploring the other seven mirror towers along the way to find out the extent of damage to the control arrays in each place, they also hunted fire demons to obtain their inner cores and collected millennium-old spiritual herbs from the core area. Their storage bags gradually became full, and they made a fortune.
Nearly two months passed before the eight people from Crimson Fire Island completed the collection of spiritual materials.
After another two months of hard work, they finally refined all the spiritual materials into the array materials that Luo Qing needed.
Luo Qing repaired the formation almost simultaneously with them refining the materials.
So today, when Luo Qing filled the last piece of red gold brick into the magic array according to Meng Bao's instructions, the repair work of all eight control arrays was completed!
Next, it's time to verify our guesses.
With excitement, Luo Qing led everyone straight to the treasure refining altar at the very center of the Golden Sun Secret Realm.
This is a huge, flat-topped altar of crimson gold, its surface covered with mysterious runes.
But now, half of the altar is missing, and the runes on its surface are dull and lifeless, making it look completely destroyed and in ruins.
Fortunately, although Luo Qing also came here to reforge those Xuan Guang Crimson Fire Banners, the process was not complicated and not difficult at all. Therefore, the dilapidated state of this treasure refining altar was irrelevant to him.
Using the remaining materials, Luo Qing quickly set up a small weapon-refining array on top of the treasure-refining altar.
Immediately afterwards, he summoned all twelve Xuan Guang Crimson Fire Banners, which fell into the weapon-refining array and formed a circle around them.
Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, Luo Qing took out an array plate and activated it by making hand seals with her fingertips.
As the array plate slowly rotated, a golden mirror in the sky also rotated, adjusting to a precise angle after a short while.
Immediately, a condensed golden beam of light suddenly descended, piercing straight into the center of the weapon-refining array like a sharp sword; it was pure Golden Sun Divine Fire!
Under the golden sun divine fire, the refining materials in the array melted away, turning into golden liquid that flowed along the array patterns and slowly merged into the twelve Xuan Guang Crimson Fire Banners.
The original crimson color of the flag gradually faded, replaced by a warm yet domineering crimson-gold color, and the spiritual energy fluctuations around it became increasingly powerful.
This time, it was not made from scratch, but rather reforged and transformed using the Golden Sun Divine Fire. Therefore, after only three hours, the twelve banners had been completely transformed, with a completely different aura.
"It actually succeeded..."
"Golden Sun Divine Fire! We have control of the Golden Sun Divine Fire!"
"This is only one Heavenly Golden Mirror; imagine the power of all eight mirrors activating together!"
...
The eight cultivators from Crimson Fire Island were excited upon seeing this. It was not surprising that they could obtain the Golden Sun Divine Flame in the Golden Sun Secret Realm, but the difficult thing was to control this domineering power.
The fact that Luo Qing could use it to refine weapons is enough to prove that he has a very high degree of control over this fire.
"Congratulations, Master, you have successfully refined twelve Golden Sun Divine Fire Banners."
Meng Bao's voice rang in Luo Qing's mind, tinged with excitement, "Simply arrange them in groups of four and set up the Three Yang Gathering Spirit Array to assist the master in cultivating the Iron Cauldron Golden Body Technique, which can increase the efficiency of tempering the physical body by 30%."
"Great! After working so hard for so long, it's finally time to reap the rewards."
Luo Qing was filled with anticipation. With a thought, he commanded the Heavenly Golden Mirror to rotate, causing the pillar of light to disappear.
Immediately, he retrieved the twelve Golden Sun Divine Fire Banners, refined them briefly, and then gave the order:
"go!"
Instantly, twelve Golden Sun Divine Fire Banners scattered and flew out, taking up their respective positions.
However, before officially beginning his cultivation, there was one small matter that Luo Qing needed to handle.
Immediately, he flipped his hand and took out a jade bottle, running towards Deng Feng, one of the eight people from Crimson Fire Island.
This person has been the most cooperative and well-behaved person in the past few months. He not only does his job well, but also takes the initiative to help manage the other seven people, saving him a lot of trouble.
"This contains the antidote for the Intestinal-Piercing Pill. The seal on the bottle will dissipate on its own after three months."
Luo Qing handed over the jade bottle, her tone indifferent, "You are free now, you can leave."
These Crimson Fire Island cultivators are now useless, and Luo Qing doesn't intend to keep them around or kill them indiscriminately, so he wants to drive them away.
However, the joy on Deng Feng's face, as he held the antidote, lasted only a moment before his expression dimmed again.
"Fellow Daoist, may we stay and cultivate together?"
After hesitating for a moment, Deng Feng's gaze sharpened, and he cupped his hands towards Luo Qing.
"Cultivating together? You're not planning to return to Crimson Fire Island?"
After spending these days together, Luo Qing has gained a fairly deep understanding of Crimson Fire Island.
