Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 868 The power of the new treasure, the ritual of refining the thunder array!
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xun waved his hand, took the two treasures in his hands, and examined them carefully.

Sure enough, although the first jade talisman was separated by a seal, Zhou Xun could still sense the terrifying spatial force inside.

This is definitely not a treasure that can be made by cultivators in the human world.

"Could it be a treasure from the fairy world?"

A treasure that can travel thousands of miles away can only be created by higher-level cultivators in the fairy world.

Then he turned his gaze to the piece of green vine, and couldn't help showing a look of surprise.
“It really is a semi-spiritual treasure!”

Originally, Zhou Xun's combat power was still lacking because of the treasure. With the addition of this semi-spiritual treasure, his strength will definitely increase greatly.

Zhou Xun then smiled slightly and said:
"Since you are so sincere, let's make an agreement to explore the ghost world together in the future!" Zhou Xun said solemnly.

As he said this, he waved his hand, took out a jade and handed it over.

"This is the Mother-Child Jade. After you break through to the Spiritual Transformation stage, you only need to crush this talisman to notify us. Then, we will meet here again!"

"So good!"

Lu Changan nodded. Although he was cultivating again, it was not easy to be promoted to the God Transformation Realm in the human world.

It will take at least several decades.

By that time, Zhou Xun himself might have already started to strive for the divine transformation.

The transaction was completed, and the next meeting time was agreed upon, and both parties bowed and said goodbye.

Soon, Zhou Xun returned to the hill where he had set up the magic circle. After putting the magic circle away again, he returned to Wangchuan Lake with his original body.

In the cave on the lake island, the main body and the incarnation sat opposite each other.

With a wave of his hand, a piece of green vine appeared in the air. It was green all over, and the naturally formed wood grain on the surface actually formed a faint spiritual pattern circuit, which exuded a heart-pounding spiritual pressure.

"It is worthy of being a half-spiritual treasure formed by the fall of a spiritual treasure."

Zhou Xun's fingertips lightly touched the vine, which immediately caused a circle of green ripples. The vine actually trembled slightly like a living thing, making a clear dragon roar.

The Blood Demon Ancestor flew out of the Blood Demon Bag and stared at the green vine in amazement:

"Old turtle is really generous this time. This 'Immortal Binding Vine' is also a famous wood-attributed spiritual treasure in the fairy world. Although its grade has dropped, its essence is intact. If you can find some natural treasures to nourish it, it may be able to restore its spiritual treasure body."

Zhou Xun's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he immediately made hand gestures, and a drop of blood was forced out from his fingertips, condensing into a blood-colored talisman in the air. Lightning patterns appeared on the surface of the talisman, which was the "blood refining technique".

This is a spiritual treasure, so naturally an unusual method of refining it is required.

"go with!"

The blood-colored talisman turned into a stream of light and sank into the green vine, and the vine suddenly burst out with a dazzling green light.

Countless green vine phantoms appeared out of thin air in the cave, wrapping Zhou Xun layer by layer like a group of dancing snakes.

The main body was not in a hurry. It opened its mouth and spurted out a stream of its own vital energy. The green vine was like a long-awaited rain after a long drought, and it madly devoured the essence of the Nascent Soul cultivator.

After three days and three nights, the shadows of the vines that were wrapped around his body suddenly shrank and completely disappeared into the green vines.

The originally emerald green vine has now turned into a turquoise color, with fine lines appearing on the surface.

Zhou Xun's mind moved slightly, and the green vines whizzed out, sometimes turning into a belt wrapped around his waist, and sometimes turning into a bracelet around his wrist.

“This is a semi-spiritual treasure!”

Zhou Xun stood up and walked out of the cave, intending to test the power of this bundle of fairy vines.

Slowly inject mana,

Then, a scene that surprised Zhou Xun happened.

My own magic power can barely activate this semi-spiritual treasure.

"Could it be because we both have the wood attribute, plus my own magical power is pure enough?"

Zhou Xun guessed so.

Because generally speaking, if you want to activate higher-level treasures, the requirements for mana are extremely high.

However, it is difficult for the Nascent Soul cultivators to reach that level of strength. For example, the Luoyang Pagoda, a semi-spiritual treasure of the Luoyang Immortal Sect,
It requires four elders at the peak of Nascent Soul stage to drive it successfully.

It seems that Zhou Xun’s current true form is indeed extraordinary.

With a light shout, the green vine suddenly turned into a hundred-foot green vine that soared into the sky.

Then it swept out,

"What a strong binding force!" Zhou Xun couldn't help but admire it. This is just the basic form of the green vine. If the wood law contained in it is activated, the power may not be inferior to the purple jade lightning spear.

The only problem is its durability. With Zhou Xun's current magic power, he can only activate this treasure three times before his magic power is exhausted.

"It seems that there is no way to use it as a conventional method!"

As he was speaking, the green vine suddenly began to tremble on its own.

Zhou Xunfu was inspired and threw the vine into the air.

As the green light surged, the vine split into nine, each of which was hundreds of feet long, forming a mysterious formation in the air. As the dragon moved around, the spiritual energy within a thousand feet radius was sucked into a vacuum, forming a terrifying vortex of spiritual power.

“Nine Green Soul Locking Formation!” Blood Demon Ancestor was surprised: “This is the signature magical power of the Immortal Binding Vine. I didn’t expect it to be able to be retained after falling!”

Zhou Xun was overjoyed. This formation was both offensive and defensive, which just made up for the shortcoming of his main body's lack of range control means.

In this way, Zhou Xun finally had a simple understanding of some of the abilities of this treasure.
Next, let’s try the true power of this treasure!

The original body and the incarnation smiled at each other, both flew up into the sky, and rushed towards the southwest.

An hour later, in a deserted area 30,000 miles away from Wangchuan Lake,

Two figures suddenly appeared in the center of the wilderness. They were Zhou Xun's real body and his incarnation.

Above the wasteland, two figures stood in the air a thousand feet apart.

Zhou Xun was wearing a green robe that rustled, and the green vine in front of him exuded a heart-pounding spiritual pressure.

The incarnation held a purple jade lightning spear and looked at them from afar!

"Here we come, be careful!"

The main body gave a clear shout, and the immortal vine tied around his waist suddenly transformed into a hundred-foot-long green dragon that soared into the sky.

The wood grain on the surface of the vine lit up, outlining mysterious traces in the void.

Wherever the vines passed, the space made a "cracking" sound as if it could not bear the heavy weight. It was actually the power emitted by the vines that squeezed out tiny cracks!
"This power is really impressive!" Zhou Xun was overjoyed. He thought he had gotten a great advantage this time!
"Well done!"

The lightning spear in the incarnation's hand trembled slightly,

The seventy-two thunder seeds in the Dantian moved at the same time, and strong thunder energy poured out and poured into the thunder spear.

The lightning spear emitted a bright purple light, condensing into a purple lightning vortex at the tip of the spear.

"Go to me!"

The incarnation held a lightning gun and pointed at a distance.
"Boom!"

With a loud thunderclap, a thunder dragon hundreds of feet long roared out, and the sky and the earth changed color, as if a calamity from heaven had descended, dyeing the entire world purple.

"boom--"

The moment the thunder dragon and the green vine collided with each other, the entire wasteland collapsed more than ten feet in an instant, forming a huge deep pit!

The violent shock wave swept in all directions like a tsunami, and the clouds within a hundred miles were torn to pieces, revealing the azure sky.

"What a great Immortal Binding Vine!"

The incarnation roared, and the purple jade lightning spear suddenly burst out with dazzling lightning.

All the ancient lightning patterns on the gun body lit up, and a fist-sized purple lightning ball condensed at the tip of the gun.

"break!"

The lightning ball shot out, and the space was slightly distorted wherever it passed. The green vines that were entwined around it melted away like ice and snow encountering the scorching sun as soon as they came into contact with it.

The main body was not surprised but delighted when he saw this. He formed seals with both hands and pressed down suddenly: "Get up!"

The Immortal Binding Vine suddenly grew to a thousand feet in length, and emerald-like wood grain appeared on the vine.

Every time a wood grain lights up, a towering ancient tree appears out of thin air on the wasteland.

Seven trees formed a formation and actually fixed the lightning ball in mid-air!
Its style is similar to the seven light circles of Lu Changan back then!

"Rumble--"

The lightning bead struggled frantically in the formation, and the burst of lightning burned the seven ancient trees black. But the moment those ancient trees were destroyed, new ones were reborn from the scorched earth, and life continued endlessly.

"Eternal life, this is the true meaning of the Wood Element Law!"

The Blood Demon Ancestor was amazed at the sight from a distance, "This is somewhat similar to Lu Turtle's Seven Mysterious Formation!"

Beads of sweat were visible on the avatar's forehead.

He clearly felt that his connection with the Lightning Pearl was being eroded by some mysterious force. Even more terrifying was that the filaments differentiated from the green vines had quietly wrapped around his limbs.

"Congeal!"

At the critical moment, the incarnation technique changed, and the lightning spear instantly emitted arcs of lightning, wrapping the incarnation in it.
But at this moment, the formation formed by the seven ancient trees suddenly burst into dazzling green light, forming a star map in the air. As the star map rotated, it directly detonated the thunder bead!

"boom--"

In the earth-shattering explosion, the star map and the lightning were annihilated at the same time. The terrifying recoil force lifted the incarnation thousands of feet away and smashed it heavily into the ground.

The main body was pushed back a hundred steps by the aftermath, with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of its mouth.

When the smoke and dust cleared, the wasteland had turned into a huge pit with a diameter of hundreds of miles.

"Ahem." The incarnation climbed up from the ruins.
"Now that my main body has this 'Immortal Binding Vine', my strength has increased dramatically. Even if my incarnation holds the Purple Jade Lightning Spear, I am no match for him!"

Then, Zhou Xun returned to the cave.

He basically spent the rest of his time in cultivation. In addition, when he was free,
Then he plunged into the alchemy room,

He took out the set of 'Five Heavens Purple Thunder Formation'. Although this treasure could be reactivated after a simple repair by him, it was still not as powerful as before.
It only retains less than 70% of its original power.

The difference directly lowered the value of this treasure by several levels.

In the alchemy room, Zhou Xun sat cross-legged and took out the "Purple Thunder Art".
Carefully study the method of refining the battle flag:
"The way of the magic array, corresponds to the stars above, and the earth veins below. The Five Heavens Purple Thunder Array takes the thunder essences of the five directions and integrates the changes of the five elements. The thunder of the sky is impertinent, and the fire of the earth is bright and clear."

Zhou Xun read it carefully and found that the refining of the Five Heavens Purple Thunder Formation was actually in line with the ancient Thunder Department's orthodox method.
If you want to refine the damaged flag, you need at least the fourth-grade top-grade thunder attribute material.
Zhou Xun suddenly had an idea.
He flipped his hand and took out a fist-sized, standard oval-shaped, blue-purple Lei Yuan purple gold.

This object feels extremely heavy in the hand, weighing at least four or five pounds. More importantly, its blue-purple color is extremely deep.

It was the "Purple Gold Thunder Core" that he obtained in the Thunder Prison that year.

It is condensed from the essence of purple gold from the Thunder Yuan. It is of the fourth-grade top-grade level and extremely rare. It is completely sufficient even for refining a top-grade magic weapon.

The flagpole used to refine the Five Heavens Purple Thunder Formation was naturally a piece of cake. As for the flag,

Zhou Xun smiled slightly and took out a piece of animal skin, which was shining with lightning. It was produced by the fourth-grade top-grade thunder bull.
It is also produced by Leiyu.

After he killed the Thunder Bull, he wanted to refine its hide into fourth-grade upper-quality talisman paper. However, he did not take action because his talisman skills were only at the fourth-grade lower-quality level.

Now, it is just right to be used to repair the magic circle.

Zhou Xun sat cross-legged in the center of the cave's alchemy room.
There were 360 ​​formation flags floating in front of him, 120 of which were simply refined by him later, barely enough to complete the formation.
Now that his cultivation skills have improved, he naturally needs to refine it again, and it would be best if it can be completely repaired.
The first step, naturally, is to refine the thunder core!
"The thunder is the furnace, and the purple core is the base!"

Zhou Xun made hand gestures, and 72 thunder seeds flew out from his dantian, swirling around the purple-gold thunder core, and transformed into nine thunder fires to hold it up. He opened his mouth and spit out the thunder slurry accumulated in his natal thunder pool, which turned into liquid electric arcs and wrapped around the thunder core.

"Zizi-"

The lightning core twisted and deformed in the lightning magma, and the impurities on the surface peeled off like debris, and finally broke into a pool of spiritual liquid, with lightning flashing.

A formation flag flew out and landed in his hands. This formation flag was made by him using fourth-order low-grade lightning-struck wood. Although its quality was excellent, it was ultimately not as good as the original one. If it could be added with a purple gold lightning core and high-grade lightning cowhide, it might be able to be perfectly repaired.

Zhou Xun changed his spell, and released a small drop of thunder core liquid, which he threw at the formation flag.
"Congeal!"

The spell changed, and the moment the chip touched the flagpole, a dazzling lightning burst out. Zhou Xun's hands were like butterflies flying through flowers, and he continuously cast twelve "Thunder Sky Forging Patterns". With each spell, the flagpole healed a little bit, and finally it was completely repaired, and the surface appeared with more mysterious lightning patterns than before.

Then, he took out a newly refined Thunder Ox hide, used his finger as a pen, dipped it into the thunder paste, and drew the "Five Heavens Thunder Talisman" on the flag. With each stroke, the hide lit up with a purple light, eventually forming a complete array pattern circuit.

"Flag completed!"

Zhou Xun gave a light shout, and the repaired formation flag floated in the air. Lightning patterns flowed on the flag, and the flagpole glowed with purple light, which was no less than the original one!
"It seems that there is nothing wrong with my approach!" Zhou Xun was overjoyed.
If he wanted to create a fourth-level high-quality magic array from scratch, he would naturally not be able to do it with his current skills, but if he just wanted to repair it,

Still no problem.

Following the previous actions, Zhou Xun repeated them 120 times, and all the damaged flags were repaired.

Three hundred and sixty battle flags were suspended in the air, shining with lightning.

However, the repairs were not complete yet, and he still had to inject lightning into the formation flags to deepen their connection and make them become one.
Zhou Xun's eyes focused, and he formed the "Five Thunder Seal" with his hands and struck the sky, and then 72 thunder seeds were sacrificed.

"Thunder Prison World, set up the formation!"

Suddenly, dark clouds gathered over Wangchuan Lake, lightning flashed,
"Let me down!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a purple-gold lightning as thick as a bucket struck down, and then under Zhou Xun's guidance, it split into 360 fine lightning bolts, accurately hitting each formation flag.

The lightning pattern on the flag shone brightly, and it actually absorbed the power of the thunder on its own, completely fusing the flagpole and the animal skin.

Zhou Xun bit his tongue and a mouthful of blood turned into blood mist and sprayed towards the group of flags in the formation. After the blood beads came into contact with the lightning, they formed blood-colored runes and embedded themselves into the flags. This was the method of "blood refining and solidification", which could strengthen the connection between the formation and its master.

After ninety-nine and eighty-one days, the magic circle can be completely renewed!
