Born with immortal seed

Chapter 316 Pink Crystal Jade Shattering Technique
"I never imagined I could complete it in one go. Now I can call myself a third-tier weapon refiner..."

Bai Zichen weighed the mountain stone in his hand, feeling that he had chosen the wrong target for weapon refining.

This kind of ordinary, crude, low-grade magic weapon is unusable by Foundation Establishment cultivators and unworthy of the attention of Core Formation cultivators.

Even if you put them in the secret hall and let newly promoted Core Formation cultivators choose for free, very few would be interested.

"Forget it, it's just for practice, I'm not thinking about how many spirit stones I can earn."

He threw the mountain-stepping stone into a stone cave, and the weight of the magic weapon itself caused the mud to sink several inches.

Including the previously forged Sound Bamboo Sword, they were all thrown together, to be rewarded to junior disciples who liked them in the future, or packed up and sent to the Weapon Forging Hall in exchange for some contribution points.

Take a walk around the green pool, listen to the crisp sound of the spring water rushing and hitting the rocks, and feel the cool water droplets falling on your body.

Bai Zichen completely emptied his mind, not thinking about anything, allowing his consciousness to relax.

"The intense visualization of the Glazed Fire Jade already puts a heavy burden on the sea of ​​consciousness, and then there's the distraction of water refining... Even if water-based weapon refining doesn't consume much mental energy, it's still relatively so."

Several hours later, he let out a long breath, as if to expel all the fatigue from his chest.

"The best spiritual tea in the sect is only second-grade superior spiritual tea, which is not enough for me at all... Only third-grade spiritual tea can relieve the fatigue of my spiritual sense."

In the entire Black Mountain region, the highest grade tea trees belong to the three Silver Needle tea trees in Red Leaf Valley, which are the main source of spiritual stones for the Red Leaf Fang family.

It seems that no high-grade tea trees are planted in Hejian County, making it difficult for Old Ancestor Bai to even have a sip of third-grade spiritual tea.

After a short month's rest, he regained his energy and threw himself back into the great cause of water-based weapon crafting.

This time, Bai Zichen chose a mid-grade magic weapon called the Yin-Yang Staff, with completely opposite attributes at each end.

The phallus was as hot as fire, as fierce as the sun, burning everything in its path.

The ghostly staff exudes a chilling and malevolent aura, its chilling power capable of captivating and seizing one's soul.

In terms of crafting difficulty, the Yin-Yang Staff far surpasses the Stepping Stone; it's not simply a matter of being one level apart.

He used the mourning stick that He Daoren had cut in two as the main material for his yin staff, and after rummaging through several high-grade storage bags for a long time, he found a piece of Azure Fire Crystal Iron to use as the material for his yang staff.

This magical artifact is recorded in that fourth-tier artifact crafting inheritance, which states that it is among the most powerful mid-grade magical artifacts.

If the craftsman is highly skilled, he can leave a channel for the transformation of Yin and Yang during the crafting process, which can directly create a high-grade or even top-grade magic weapon.

This not only requires the weapon refiner to have the peak of the third tier, but also to have a certain understanding of the Yin-Yang Dao.

Bai Zichen certainly didn't dare to dream too much; he only hoped to successfully refine a mid-grade Yin-Yang Staff.

At this steady pace, perhaps in another ten years or so, we will be able to begin attempting to forge third-tier flying swords.

The preliminary preparations, including refining the two spiritual materials with alchemical fire, took many days.

When the two portions of spiritual materials were put into the spiritual spring, the spring water first emitted wisps of white steam, and the water temperature was scalding hot.

Soon, a cold current flowed in, turning the spring water chilling to the bone, as if one were in an ice cellar.

Within the eye of the spiritual spring, hot and cold alternate, and yin and yang flow.

Bai Zichen waited until the forging of the Yin-Yang Staff was on track before sitting down cross-legged.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, in addition to the five crystal divine irons hanging in the dome like stars in the sky, there were also pieces of glazed fire jade.

Like a dazzling ribbon, it paints the sky with a camouflage pattern.

The Five Crystal Divine Iron and the Glazed Fire Jade are two sides of the same coin. The Glazed Fire Jade, which was originally somewhat illusory, is also becoming more substantial, slowly changing its form.

Three hundred sunrises and sunsets later, the two spiritual materials in the eye of the spiritual spring failed in the final step of merging, creating a strong vortex of spiritual energy, like a boulder thrown into a green pool.

The yin and yang could not be combined, and all the rare spiritual materials used in water-based weapon crafting were destroyed, resulting in a complete loss.

But Bai Zichen had a faint smile on his face and didn't take the failure to refine the Yin-Yang Staff to heart at all.

Just yesterday, the Glazed Fire God Body finally achieved the initial stage.

He possesses a crystal fire that can burn away all things and impervious to all evil.

He immediately understood the true power of this body refinement realm, and how different it was from the brief Glazed Fire God Body he had gained by self-destructing his second Glazed Body.

"My pale white true flame can penetrate defenses and directly burn the divine sense... In the most insidious way, this flame uses the divine sense as nourishment, and burns ever brighter."

Bai Zichen looked at the wisps of pale white true flame in his palm, within which dark gold flowed. Only with a high level of concentration could one detect the clues.

"Others' Glazed Fire followed the Great Sun True Fire path, and none of them, including Senior Brother Ge, experienced this anomaly. But mine is completely different. Could it be because I cultivated the Fire Dragon Returning to Origin Scripture?"

In the history of Qingfeng Sect, only three people have cultivated the Glazed Fire Divine Body. The sect's founder and Ge Cang Zhenren followed the orthodox Glazed Fire path, while Bai Zichen's path became the Platinum Glazed Fire that burns the divine consciousness.

With too few available samples, it's impossible to determine the exact cause of this situation.

The wisp of platinum-colored flame in his palm quickly dimmed and extinguished; he had only just begun his training and couldn't muster much power yet.

When the Fire Dragon Returning to Origin Scripture is cultivated to its highest level, one can transform into a fire dragon, spewing pure yang true fire, which can also melt all things.

The power of the two overlapped, and the Platinum Glazed Fire took a different route, attacking and burning the divine consciousness, which was actually a better result for him.

At the same time, the Glazed Fire God suddenly gained two more supernatural abilities that he could cultivate.

The phrase "so close yet so far" has been used by Master Ge Cang many times.

With its powerful physique, it can achieve near-short-distance teleportation, making it a perfect supernatural ability tailor-made for powerful physical cultivators.

With this supernatural power at his disposal, Bai Zichen could easily catch any Core Formation cultivator who used escape techniques to dominate in confined spaces.

For a short distance, it feels like an insurmountable distance; for a long distance, it feels like flying through the sky on a sword. It is becoming increasingly difficult for a Core Formation cultivator to escape from his grasp.

The other supernatural power is the Pink Crystal Shattering Jade Technique.

The five crystal divine irons and glazed fire jades, which he had painstakingly visualized in his sea of ​​consciousness, were all shattered.

The five-crystal permanent casting shattered inch by inch, transforming into an extremely powerful and fierce divine force.

The Glazed Fire God's entire body was ablaze, drawing upon the divine power of heavenly fire to cleanse everything.

Besides the Five Crystal Glazed Body realm being reduced to zero and rendered useless, the damage caused to the user by the Pink Crystal Shattered Jade Technique increases several times over with each breath it is sustained.

Even a cultivator at the peak of Core Formation can only last for a hundred breaths at most; any longer and their cultivation will be completely destroyed, and their physical body will be utterly ruined.

Once the effects of the Pink Crystal Shattering Jade Technique wear off, he will surely perish.

However, during this period, one can truly possess fourth-order power, essentially making one a Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stages without their own domain.

"No wonder Senior Brother Ge was confident that even Nascent Soul cultivators who came to Black Mountain would have to pay a price; they could never do what they wanted so easily..."

Bai Zichen murmured to himself, as expected, the Glazed Fire God Body brought him an extremely powerful divine ability that allowed him to fight across ranks.

If one were to risk their life from the very beginning, disregarding their physical body and cultivation level, they could easily sustain the Pink Crystal Jade Shattering Technique for a quarter of an hour.

If a Nascent Soul cultivator were to attack, such as True Monarch Nine Lotus or the newly promoted Blood God True Man, they would either be too old and nearing the end of their lives, or they would have just reached a higher realm and not yet possessed a domain. Caught off guard, they could easily pay a heavy price.

A True Immortal who has reached the Core Formation stage has defeated a True Monarch in the Nascent Soul stage; such an event is extremely rare, occurring only once every tens of thousands of years.

Being able to contend with and injure a Nascent Soul True Monarch is already the pinnacle of a Core Formation True Person.

"In any case, this supernatural ability is an absolute trump card, which is better than any fourth-order secret treasure... Moreover, as long as the duration is shorter, the only cost is the abolition of the Five Crystal Glazed Body realm, and the other negative effects are not significant."

If a day truly comes when life and death are at stake, who cares about the price paid or the aftereffects? Saving one's life is the priority.

If you have to sacrifice the cultivation level of a body-refining technique to gain Nascent Soul strength for a short period of time, I believe 99% of cultivators would understand which choice to make.

Bai Zichen waved his Daoist robe, flicking away the broken spiritual materials from the spiritual spring, and no longer cared about water-based weapon refining.

After swallowing the body-refining elixir that Han Qing had painstakingly refined, it generated extremely strong vitality upon contact with the blood, causing every part of the body to pulsate.

Originally, it would have taken sixteen years to fully cultivate the Glazed Fire God Body, but with this great medicine, the time has been shortened to six years.

Almost every moment, his physical body would become much stronger as his body beat in unison with the body-refining elixir and his heartbeat.

Within his body, wisps of platinum-colored flames flowed.

At first, there were only scattered stars, faint and wispy.

Soon, they merged into one, eventually forming a cocoon of light that completely enveloped itself.

Six months later, Tong Huan came to see him, but received no response and had to leave.

Two years later, Huo Feiyan knelt and reported to the authorities outside the blue waves, but again there was no response.

Two years later, Zhou Suqing came with the cultivators from the Array Hall to set up the Heavenly One Profound Ice Array for Wanxianjian.

She personally paid a visit, lingered outside the blue waves for an hour, and then drifted away.

He also informed Tong Huan and the others that Master Bai was perfectly normal, simply cultivating a great divine power, and that they should not disturb him unless necessary.

With the dragon turtle guarding the Jade Moon Lake and the presence of a third-tier grand formation, even if surrounded by several Core Formation cultivators, there's no need to panic.

Like last time, when Zhou Suqing took the initiative to wipe out the group of zombies, she didn't expect that there was a golden-armored zombie hiding inside.

She was no match for the Golden Armor Corpse, which was equivalent to a cultivator in the early stage of Core Formation, and could only flee back to Jade Moon Lake in a sorry state.

But in reality, the golden-armored corpse led a large group of zombies to surround the Jade Moon Lake. They couldn't even break through a few layers of the outer mist of the 3,600-ring water mist array. Jade Moon Lake itself was impregnable.

Therefore, although Feiyue Lake was far from the mountain gate, Zhou Suqing had no worries when she left and successfully completed the Tianyi Xuanbing Formation.

She originally wanted to exchange cultivation experiences after forming the core with Bai Zichen, but when she came to the outside of the Jade Pool and looked from afar, even though she had not cultivated the Five Crystal Glazed Body and could not tell what kind of cultivation technique Bai Zichen was practicing, she could still sense that he was at a critical moment.

They were about to leave when, unexpectedly, Bai Zichen was still able to separate his consciousness from his body in this state, allowing the two to communicate.
