Chapter 1765: Refining Treasures

"Among the creatures in the heavens that are neither human nor immortal nor god, there are demons, monsters, ghosts, monsters, spirits, and ghosts!"

"Demons are animals that have cultivated and transformed into human form. Demons are creatures from foreign lands that are powerful and harmful to humans. Ghosts are extremely yin creatures that are transformed from the three souls of living beings after death!"

"Monsters are monsters in the demon race that have strange looks and are difficult to transform into human form. There are also monsters that are unwilling to transform into human form!"

"Essence is formed by the cultivation of plants to benefit the heaven and earth. Ginseng essence and tree spirit are all of this type!"

"A spirit is something that is born with spirituality, such as a unicorn, phoenix, turtle, dragon, mountain stone, treasure, spiritual jade, etc."

Zhang Xuezhou caught what he thought was a tree demon.

Looking at the dead tree demon, Gongsun Hong was thinking for a long time.

"This thing is not a tree spirit, it is likely a spiritual creature," Gongsun Hong said, "This kind of spiritual creature is born with its own consciousness, and it is difficult to distinguish between good and evil, and it cannot be simply defined as good or bad!"

“What can spiritual objects be used for?”

Zhang Xuezhou summarized and nodded.

Li Shaojun believed that it was a chaotic spiritual creature, and Gongsun Hong also tended to believe it was a spiritual creature.

Zhang Xuezhou didn’t care what kind of spiritual object this piece of wood that was parasitic in the roots of the tree was. He just wanted to know whether the corpse of the spiritual object he picked up was useful.

"Anything with spirit can become a treasure," said Gongsun Hong. "This one is more spiritual than ordinary magic weapons, and some of them can even actively protect their owners!"

"Dongfang Shuo, do you want this vine? If not, I'll take it!"

As Gongsun Hong was explaining, Li Shaojun emerged from the water.

It was not known whether Li Shaojun was unable to cut the tree roots or had not found them at all. Li Shaojun finally pulled the gourd vine out of the water.

He raised the gourd vine, which made Zhang Xuezhou wave his hand.

"Leave a piece for me, I'll take it to Zheng Wukong to give an explanation, you can take the rest if you want, you have to make sure this thing is dead before you take it on the gourd boat!"

"You must be waiting for me to pull this thing up!"

Li Shaojun shouted.

He felt a little nervous after being sucked into a dried corpse by the gourd vine, and thought it would be okay to cut the gourd vine off at the roots.

The wooden stick that Zhang Xuezhou got was most likely the Chaos Spirit Root, but the gourd vine he took should also have some magical uses.

After reaching the shore, Li Shaojun couldn't help but take out a knife, cut off the roots of the vine directly, and then cut off all the leaves.

His actions made Zhang Xuezhou thoughtful.

After Li Shaojun finished peeling the gourd vine, Zhang Xuezhou also took the knife and peeled the head part with the green mark.

Without the protection of the tree demon's roots, the texture of this spiritual object is limited and its hardness is almost the same as that of wood.

After a few cuts, Zhang Xuezhou saw a stream of green juice coming out, and the originally white tree trunk turned blue-gray in just a few seconds.

"It's poisonous!"

Seeing that Zhang Xuezhou's left hand was stained with some blue-gray color and then kept chipping away, Li Shaojun couldn't help but get a little bit of it.

In just a moment, his head felt a little more dizzy and his eyes were almost hallucinating.

This made him quickly reach into the water and wash his hands repeatedly.

After washing them, Li Shaojun saw that his fingers stained with juice were blue and swollen, and he still felt a little dizzy.

This made Li Shaojun exclaim in surprise, and he dared not touch anything anymore.

“Is this how this thing is handled?”

Gongsun Hong dragged his broken and injured body a few steps away and did not even dare to try to touch.

He watched Zhang Xuezhou handle the spiritual object and felt that Zhang Xuezhou's method was a bit rough, so he couldn't help but ask.

"Punch to death to keep safe!"

Zhang Xuezhou shook his head and replied.

He was also a little dazed, almost hallucinating. He felt that he might have come into contact with a poisonous neurotoxin that would quickly infect him if he was exposed to it.

This greatly reduced his interest in the chaotic spiritual creatures mentioned by Li Shaojun and others.

If the Chaos Spirit is just a natural poison, then it is no different from a low-level method.

This even made Zhang Xuezhou think of the snake staff mentioned by Master Ran Deng.

In just one or two years, Zhang Xuezhou did not expect that he would also obtain something similar to the snake staff.

He looked at the wooden stick with the green mark on it, then glanced at the terrifying Li Shaojun and Gongsun Hong, knowing that the two had really lost interest.

If you don't have the ability to avoid poison, you will be in big trouble if you use this wooden stick to harm others.

"Li Shaojun, tell me how to use this thing. I feel like I'm losing a lot of money on this trip," Zhang Xuezhou said as he picked up the wooden stick.

"Get out of the way, and don't touch me with this stick again!"

Li Shaojun shouted and didn't even plan to take back his knife.

"I will teach you a ritual spell later. Use it if you can. If you can't, don't bother me," Li Shaojun shouted.

"There is also the ritual formula. Why didn't you tell me? I cut off the head of this thing!"

"It's not a bad thing to cut it, and it will avoid backlash!"

Li Shaojun and Zhang Xuezhou argued for a few sentences and mentioned the ritual formula.

"Why do I feel like this method is like that of Yao and Shen Daoren invading my body?"

Gongsun Hong listened for a while and felt that the ritual method taught by Li Shaojun seemed to be no different from the consciousness invasion he had encountered.

Li Shaojun himself is not very capable, but he has used many evil and unorthodox skills.

"This is the treasure refining technique. It has been passed down like this in the past. Others can do it, but I can't guarantee whether you can do it or not," said Li Shaojun after teaching him.

“Try it first!”

Zhang Xuezhou nodded.

He looked at the rattan in Li Shaojun's hand, and then at the wooden stick in his own hand.

Casting spells to refine treasures is by no means too mysterious and profound. It is to put a magic mark on the treasure, and then continue to deepen it until the treasure is controlled by the magic mark.

However, there are few treasures that meet the requirements of this treasure refining technique, and the lowest threshold requirement is that the treasure must have a hint of spirituality.

To put it another way, it has to have 'spiritual consciousness' and be a 'living body' in a certain sense, and only then can this set of treasure-sacrificing techniques be effective.

Zhang Xuezhou had previously learned from Li Shaojun how to shave a layer off the head of the wooden stick. He now also wanted to see how Li Shaojun used it.

"You two, this secret place is full of dangers. If we don't have the spiritual spring, wouldn't it be better for us to find the exit of the secret place and get out as soon as possible?"

Zhang Xuezhou and Li Shaojun were arguing about how to refine the treasure, while Gongsun Hong had a melancholy look on his face.

He held his stomach and felt the pain again.

It wasn't because he was tricked, but because Gongsun Hong felt hungry.

And in this secret place, there are nothing but trees.

Of course, there is still plenty of fresh water to drink.

But Gongsun Hong felt that this would not solve the problem of hunger.

"We haven't even used the treasure hunt yet!"

Li Shaojun responded in surprise.

When he touched his belly, he felt that what Gongsun Hong said made sense.

No matter how secret the treasure is, you must be able to fill your stomach first.

He knows a lot of tricks, including the fasting technique, but Li Shaojun's fasting level is limited and he cannot starve for more than three days.

From the time he took Kun to now, his fasting period is almost over. If he cannot find food, he will suffer from symptoms such as fatigue, physical weakness, and susceptibility to illness.
