Chapter 53 Leaf Sword Embryo
After seeing Han Li off, Lin Changqing put away the remaining fifteen Foundation Establishment Pills. Including the two he had previously acquired, he now had a total of seventeen Foundation Establishment Pills.
He had no solution for dealing with these Foundation Establishment Pills, so he could only keep them for the time being.
He has already established his foundation. What he needs is not a Foundation Establishment Pill, which breaks through bottlenecks, but rather a Qi Cultivation Pill, which can promote the cultivation of mid-Foundation Establishment cultivators.
......
Inside the cave on Xiaochangqing Peak.
The stone door to the weapon-refining room has been tightly closed for a month now.
Three layers of defensive formations were also set up outside the cave to isolate it from outside noise and detection.
The innermost layer of the magic array can even block the divine sense detection of a Core Formation cultivator.
Inside the cave, the Foundation Establishment True Fire and the Flame Array intertwined continuously, forming a unique flame distinct from the Elixir Fire.
This type of flame is not much less effective than the alchemical fire when used to refine magical artifacts, although it takes a little longer to calcine them.
Lin Changqing stood with his hands behind his back in front of the refining furnace. Inside the furnace, spirit leaves kept fluttering about, trying to break free of his restraints, but they were all controlled by the azure leaves.
It also emitted azure flames, which combined with the Foundation Establishment True Fire and the magic array flames to temper the other spiritual leaves in the refining furnace, greatly reducing Lin Changqing's pressure.
The prototypes of magical artifacts are usually crafted by cultivators who have reached the nascent stage of cultivation. If a cultivator does not have the cultivation level of a nascent stage cultivator, the probability of successfully crafting the artifact will be reduced.
However, his exceptional weapon-refining skills compensated for this, and now, with the help of Azure Leaf, it's only a matter of time before he creates a prototype of a magic weapon.
Over the past month, the hundred or so spirit leaves have been nearly completed and are ready to enter the fusion stage.
"receive!"
After the last spirit leaf was forged, Lin Changqing withdrew the flames and began to inscribe spirit patterns on each spirit leaf.
With the intricate connection of spirit runes, the prototype of the magic weapon is halfway to success.
Lin Changqing had reached an unparalleled level of skill in engraving; he could complete the task even with his eyes closed.
The spirit leaves floating in the air were unleashed one after another like a rain of pear blossoms under Lin Changqing's spell.
Each spirit leaf left a unique spirit pattern after passing through Lin Changqing's fingertips.
His divine sense was like a thousand invisible hands, constantly leaving ripples on every spiritual leaf.
"Freeze!"
Lin Changqing gave a low shout, and the spiritual patterns on the spiritual leaves flashed. His divine sense tightened abruptly, controlling the spiritual leaves as if commanding soldiers, and gathering them together.
Before long, the leaves, which were originally scattered everywhere, began to connect and combine to form a shape similar to a sword embryo.
The entire process was like a gazelle leaping off a cliff, seamless and natural, without the slightest obstruction.
At the same time, the surrounding spiritual energy was continuously absorbed by the sword embryo, and the sword embryo began to slowly condense and take shape, no longer a rough wooden strip.
A quarter of an hour later, the furnace shook and flashed with a dazzling golden light.
At the center of the forging furnace, golden light continuously shone, and a shaped sword embryo swam around inside like a fish, as if it had come to life.
[Successfully crafted the prototype of a magical artifact: Dark Green Sword Embryo, reward: 30 years of lifespan]
Lifespan: 609 --> 639
In his mind, there seemed to be a faint buzzing sound, congratulating him.
"It's done! And the lifespan gained from refining the prototype of the magic weapon is quite substantial."
"However, as a natal magic weapon, it is still missing the last step."
Lin Changqing nodded and looked at the sword embryo. With a change of his finger technique, he drew the dark green sword embryo over.
Furthermore, he lightly bit the tip of his tongue, mobilized the essence and blood in his body, and spat it out, which landed on the dark green sword embryo.
After absorbing the essence blood, the dark green sword embryo flashed with light again and flew into his dantian with a whoosh.
Within his dantian, this nascent magical artifact will grow increasingly powerful, connecting with his essence, energy, and spirit, becoming his first natal magical artifact.
This prototype of a magical artifact was crafted from these spiritual leaves.
These spirit leaves are the natal spirit leaves condensed from different kinds of spirit trees. Some are precious, and some are common, each with its own unique characteristics.
It is precisely because of their different characteristics that they cannot be combined without special refining.
However, now that he has the control of the spirit runes and under the manipulation of his divine sense, each characteristic no longer repels the others, but connects with each other and condenses into a dark green sword embryo.
Although this dark green sword embryo is only a prototype of a magic weapon, in Lin Changqing's experience, it is much stronger than a real magic weapon.
With the help of this dark green sword embryo, in future battles, even if he encounters a fake Core cultivator carrying talisman treasures, he will be able to defeat him, or even kill him.
......
In the blink of an eye, several months have passed.
During this period, besides nurturing and refining the prototype of the magic weapon, he spent the rest of his time tinkering with formations.
He quickly pieced together the missing piece of the ancient formation through deduction, and all that remained was to collect the materials.
Many of these repair materials are rare, and it's unlikely that they can be collected all at once, so he just goes to the market whenever he has free time.
Try your luck and buy the materials you need. Don't worry about the spirit stones you spend. Now that selling pills, artifacts, and array flags is back on track, earning spirit stones is just a matter of time.
As for Li Zhijing, after finding the great formation and returning, she has been busy with her own affairs. Sometimes, when she feels like it, she will come with him to Huangfeng Valley Market.
He seemed much more relaxed, less embarrassed, and his cultivation level improved much faster. It seemed that the effects of the five-colored pills were slowly showing on him.
A month later.
On Xiaochangqing Peak, Lin Changqing received a message from Li Zhijing, informing him that Chen Ziyan of the Chen family had successfully established her foundation, as well as a congratulatory invitation from Chen Fu.
The message was very simple; it was just an invitation to celebrate, nothing more.
Upon receiving this news, he lightly tapped his fingertip to burn the communication talisman, sending a message to Li Zhijing, asking him to deliver a congratulatory gift on his behalf.
As for Chen Ziyan being able to establish her foundation, it's not surprising. After all, it's not impossible for Chen Fu, a Qi Refining Perfection cultivator, to exchange his life's merits for a Foundation Establishment Pill.
Moreover, compared to Chen Qiaoqian, whom he had met, Chen Ziyan was more decisive and resilient, and she lacked Chen Qiaoqian's sentimental attachments.
With the help of the Foundation Establishment Pill now, there is still a high chance of breaking through the Foundation Establishment stage.
However, he no longer cared about the past. Now he only wanted to repair the great formation, collect spiritual leaf materials to continuously refine the prototype of the magic weapon, continue to improve his cultivation, condense the golden core as soon as possible, and establish a firm foothold in the Yue Kingdom.
......
Time flies, and another year has passed.
After this period of refining weapons and pills and recuperating, his lifespan has increased somewhat.
Lifespan: 639 --> 663
He had too many things to deal with on a daily basis and couldn't concentrate on refining weapons, so he didn't gain much lifespan.
However, the materials for the grand formation have been collected to a depth of about three layers during this period, which is a decent progress.
In addition, some spirit leaves were also collected.
He also purchased a considerable amount of medicinal materials for the Peiyuan Pill. However, the main ingredient of the Peiyuan Pill, the Peiyuan Fruit, is even rarer than the Juling Fruit. As soon as it appears in the market, it is bought up immediately. It is very sought after, and he himself does not have any channels with major sects.
So even now, he still takes the Spirit Gathering Pill on a regular basis. However, now that his cultivation has reached the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, the effect of the Spirit Gathering Pill has been greatly reduced, and his cultivation improvement is not very obvious.
While he was still considering whether to ask Han Li to help him cultivate some high-quality medicinal herbs and Qi-nourishing fruits,
A guest flew to the usually quiet Little Evergreen Peak.
