One Qi Chaoyang

Chapter 109 Chapter 108: Refining Treasures

It was night outside, and it was dawn.

A lamp was placed on the table, the flame glowing golden, illuminating a circle of the ground.

Zhao Fuyun looked back at Xun Lanyin, who still had her eyes half closed, and took a breath secretly to prevent himself from breathing too loudly.

"Master Xun comes and goes in a hurry. I was afraid that he would disappear tomorrow, so I waited here. I never thought that I would disturb his rest. It is really a sin." Zhao Fuyun said.

"Hmph. What treasure do you want to refine?" Xun Lanyin asked again.

"I feel that it is a pity to burn the nightmare demon in the Xuan Cai Pearl with fire, so I thought of combining the nightmare demon with my statue to see if I can refine a magic weapon." Zhao Fuyun said.

"Haha, tell me in detail." Xun Lanyin said.

"Master Xun, can you try to change the way you laugh? You are sneering and mocking." Zhao Fuyun felt uncomfortable because she laughed before speaking, so he reminded her.

"So you can hear it." Xun Lanyin said.

Zhao Fuyun was silent for a while, then said, "Master Xun, this is what I think. The gods of the world can be summoned and touched. Some people say that there are sacred beings outside the heavens, but no one has ever seen their true bodies. So, I want to see if I can cultivate a living god."

Xun Lanyin opened her eyes, slowly sat up, looked at Zhao Fuyun and said, "What makes you think you can do this?"

"Uh." Zhao Fuyun pondered for a moment and said, "Of course, this is just a lofty idea. If it doesn't work, I want to refine a magic weapon that can withstand incense. Some people say that gods and demons are one. I think..."

"Since you have thought about it, then just perform the ritual. Why are you asking me?" Xun Lanyin asked.

"Master Xun is a man of high attainments and well versed in the art of refining treasures. Naturally, I need to ask Master Xun for advice." Zhao Fuyun said.

"Of the two things, one is no longer beneficial to your practice, and the other is incompatible with your practice. The worst that can happen is that it will be broken." Xun Lanyin said.

"Well, Master Xun is right." Zhao Fuyun didn't know why Xun Lanyin seemed in a bad mood today.

"Then please Master Xun, give me some help when I need it." After Zhao Fuyun said this, he also decided that if Xun Lanyin was unwilling to help, then so be it. If he failed, then so be it. Anyway, these two things would not affect his own practice.

He first placed the Xuan Cha Pearl on the lotus lamp to burn it. He exhaled, and the lamp flickered and swelled into a ball of fire, as if forming an invisible hand, holding the Xuan Cha Pearl and burning it.

The nightmare demon here had trapped Xun Lanyin in that cave before, but after Zhao Fuyun invited the gods into the cave, she used the divine fire to seriously injure the nightmare demon.

Zhao Fuyun’s idea was very simple, which was to force the nightmare demon out of the Xuan Cha Pearl and let it attach itself to the statue.

The nightmare demon in the Xuan Cai Pearl was burned but did not come out. Instead, it emitted a bloody light, resisting the flames.

Zhao Fuyun thought he could drive it out quickly, but he didn't expect that the burning lasted for three days and the nightmare demon still didn't come out. He couldn't leave, so he used the art of illusion to transform his body and go to the Daozi Hall.

However, Master Xun was not in a hurry to leave this time.

He continued to refine and burn it for half a month. It seemed that the red light on the bead could no longer withstand such continuous refining and burning. The red light shrank, and after another three days, the red light inside the bead began to drill outwards.

However, it seemed not very smart, and just circled upwards, like a ball of red mist, not going far away, but also not attaching itself to the statue.

In Zhao Fuyun's view, the statue has divinity, which is very attractive to it. Of course, people are also very attractive to it, but it is weak now and dare not approach Zhao Fuyun at all.

The Dharma nature in the talisman that Zhao Fuyun made posed a huge threat to it.

"Heh!" Xun Lanyin lay there and sneered, just like the day when she first came. If it weren't for the fact that so many days had passed and the sun and moon outside had alternated for so many days, she would have thought that time was still.

After she sneered, a stream of water-like spiritual light suddenly appeared and landed on the statue, covering up the faint divine fire aura emanating from the statue.

Then, she saw her hand drawing a circle in the air, encircling the red thread of the nightmare demon. It seemed as if another hand grabbed the red thread, pressed it down, and gathered it around the statue.

Zhao Fuyun turned his back to Xun Lanyin with a smile on his face. How could he not know that he needed to seal the glow of the divine fire on the statue.

But he is a master of fire magic, so even if someone wanted to seal him, he couldn't be sealed.

But Master Xun seemed to be in a bad mood, so he could only do this.

As expected, the nightmare demon tightly wrapped around the statue. Xun Lanyin sealed the fire nature within it, but the divinity condensed from years of sacrifices had a huge attraction to the nightmare demon.

He knew the first step was complete.

Xun Lanyin was still lying there, as if she wanted to see what Zhao Fuyun would do.

"Thank you Master Xun for your help. I have completed the first step of refining the treasure." Zhao Fuyun said.

"So what are you going to do for the second step?" Xun Lanyin asked. She seemed to be a little interested because she found that Zhao Fuyun didn't seem to be joking over the past few days.

"Disciple, I have read some books on treasure sacrifices in the Dharma Hall in the mountains. They said that in addition to blood sacrifices, Dharma sacrifices, etc., there are also methods of divine sacrifices for refining treasures."

"You want a divine sacrifice? Wasn't this statue of yours made through the method of divine sacrifice?" Xun Lanyin said.

"The Nightmare Demon is a being with extremely strong growth and integration capabilities. I only need to make it stronger, and it will completely devour the divinity of the statue."

"Then what?" Xun Lanyin asked.

"I don't know." Zhao Fuyun said, "Everything depends on how it grows."

"Practice well. It will take time to cultivate Xuan Caizhu into a second spirit. It requires a long gestation period. Don't waste time on other things." After Xun Lanyin finished speaking, she stood up and reached into her sleeve again. There was a small banner in her hand, with starlight wrapped around it.

He waved at Zhao Fuyun and said, "Although I don't know what the statue will become, but with your lamp and this piece of banner, you can set up an altar to perform magic. Take it and use it. Figure out how to use it yourself."

"Also, don't walk around these days." Xun Lanyin said, and left the house.

Zhao Fuyun sighed in his heart as he watched Xun Lanyin walk into the sky outside and disappear like a cloud of smoke.

Looking back at the star flag, it was still standing in the void even without anyone casting any spell.

He knew in his heart that this was definitely not something that an ordinary foundation-building cultivator could refine.
