Primordial Treasure Mirror

Su Yang stared at the fireball in front of him.

The improved Blazing Fire Technique was cast with the blessing of divine consciousness.

The fireball was more solid and hotter than ever before.

It was completely different from the somewhat loose fireballs of the past.

Su Yang then tried the Shattered Gold Thorn.

The golden spikes condensed faster and in greater numbers.

Moreover, each one is finer and sharper, giving a feeling of complete transformation.

Su Yang tried out several of the improved spells one by one.

With the blessing of divine sense, their power all surged.

Su Yang withdrew his spell and sighed:

"No wonder the late-stage Qi Refining Realm can crush the mid-stage Qi Refining Realm. The divine sense enhancement alone is enough to more than double the power of spells."

"If it weren't for the fact that my spiritual power quality far surpasses that of ordinary people, and that I also have the improved Lesser Heavenly Thunder Technique, other mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators would have almost no chance of winning against late-stage Qi Refining cultivators."

Su Yang felt the powerful spiritual energy within his body:

"Now that I have broken through, and my foundation is much stronger than that person's, if I were to face him again, I probably wouldn't even need to use the Lesser Heavenly Thunder Technique; a few ordinary spells would be enough to defeat him."

He sat cross-legged on the futon, mentally assessing his current strength.

A cultivation level of the seventh stage of Qi Refining.

After being tempered by the top-grade Green Wood Pill, his spiritual power was already much stronger than that of other cultivators of the same level, and this was further enhanced by the spiritual power tempering after breaking through to the seventh level of Qi Refining.

Su Yang's current spiritual energy quality is probably even higher than that of an ordinary Qi Refining Ninth Level cultivator.

The gap between the sixth and seventh levels of Qi Refining is like an insurmountable chasm.

However, the difference between the seventh, eighth, and ninth levels of Qi Refining is not that significant.

Su Yang felt that if he learned a few more powerful spells, his strength would definitely not be weaker than that of a rogue cultivator or a cultivator from a small family at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

He has now broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining.

They are now able to practice intermediate-level spells.

Su Yang plans to find time to buy a few useful mid-level spells in Jinsha Market, improve them, and then practice them.

His strength will then increase significantly.

"By then, apart from the Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Guo family who has been in seclusion for many years, and the few Qi Refining cultivators in the market, no one else should pose any threat to me."

"Even those rogue cultivators who have reached the Qi Refining Perfection stage, as long as they don't have any special methods, I can remain invincible."

After assessing his own strength, Su Yang felt the surging power within him, and the sense of security he felt was stronger than ever before.

I have been practicing my spiritual cultivation to this day.

He finally had some confidence to protect himself.

After all, Foundation Establishment cultivators are rare, at least in the vicinity of Jinshafang Market.

After the initial joy, Su Yang suddenly thought of Zhao Qingyao again.

With Zhao Qingyao's talent.

There are also spiritual resources at Bihu Mountain.

She should have already broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining.

"I just don't know who is stronger between me and her right now."

Su Yang couldn't help but think to himself, then shook his head and chuckled:

"What's the point of comparing? Let's focus on improving ourselves first. That's Bihu Mountain. Before I reach the Golden Core stage, how could I possibly have the confidence to stand in front of her?"

Su Yang calmed his mind and focused his thoughts on the Ten Soul Banner in the mirror space.

"We can try to upgrade it to the Hundred Soul Banner."

Su Yang obtained a booklet on refining soul banners from the storage bag of a demonic cultivator from Hundred Soul Valley.

It contains detailed conditions for upgrading the Soul Banner.

Upgrading from a Ten Soul Banner to a Hundred Soul Banner is very simple.

There are no other requirements, only five specific materials for refining the banner surface and banner pole.

These five specific refining materials are not rare or precious; Su Yang had already purchased them all in the Jinsha Market.

Although it cost a lot of spirit stones, it would definitely be worth it if it could upgrade the Soul Banner.

"But before that, I need to learn a fire control technique."

Although you don't need to know how to refine weapons to upgrade your Soul Banner.

However, at certain steps, it is still necessary to smelt the materials.

At this point, the art of fire control would naturally be used.

Su Yang's Flame Control Technique is usable, but it's not as good as a specialized weapon-refining fire control technique.

First-tier weapon refiners have a special fire control spell called the Spirit Melting Technique.

It is included with the Qingyang Breathing Technique.

Su Yang hadn't learned it before because he felt that the Flame Holding Technique was sufficient.

Now that he needed to use it, he planned to spend some time studying and improving it.

It took almost half a day.

Su Yang improved the Spirit Melting Technique using his Deductive Divine Power.

Compared to the Flame Holding Technique.

The Melting Spirit Technique controls flames at higher temperatures, making it more suitable for smelting metallic spiritual materials.

That evening.

Su Yang followed the instructions in the booklet.

The five materials are melted down in sequence, and spiritual power is used as a guide to gradually refine them into the surface and pole of the Ten Soul Banner.

The whole process lasted for most of the night.

A significant amount of spiritual energy was consumed during this period.

Fortunately, he had already broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining, otherwise he might not have been able to hold on.

The moment the last refining material merged into the Soul Banner.

The banner trembled and emitted a low humming sound.

The previously quiet soul suddenly became restless, struggling incessantly within the soul banner.

Su Yang was prepared. He firmly grasped the Soul Banner, probed it with his divine sense, and cleansed it with spiritual power. He quickly gained complete control over it.

A few breaths later.

The restless soul calmed down.

A faint dark light appeared on the surface of the soul banner.

With a thought, Su Yang's dark light subsided. He looked down and discovered that the patterns on the banner had subtly changed, becoming much more complex than before.

The Hundred Souls Banner is complete.

Su Yang held the brand-new Hundred Soul Banner and felt its power.

The souls inside were still the original ten souls, but only three were mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators, while the rest were early-stage Qi Refining cultivators.

Therefore, the increase in power is not significant.

"If another ninety souls are refined into it, one of which is a late-stage Qi Refining main soul, this Soul Banner will become a high-grade magic weapon. If it can kill a Qi Refining Perfection cultivator, this Soul Banner will become a top-grade magic weapon."

Su Yang felt a slight sense of anticipation.

However, he won't indiscriminately kill; it's up to the lucky ones.

After completing the breakthrough to the late stage of Qi Refining and the advancement of the Soul Banner.

Su Yang completely relaxed.

For the next few days, he did nothing else.

He simply practiced his spiritual cultivation peacefully every day.

He planned to consolidate his Qi Refining Level 7 realm and familiarize himself with the control of his divine sense before purchasing and improving a few mid-level spells.

When the divine consciousness was first born, it was a bit clumsy to use, but after a few days of familiarization, it gradually gained control over Ruyi.

That evening.

Su Yang was cultivating by consuming elixirs when the communication talisman placed to the side suddenly lit up, emitting a burst of spiritual energy.

Su Yang opened his eyes and checked the messages, finding that they were from Liu Yuan.

Li Yuanxiu has come out of seclusion. He asked Liu Yuan to go there with him.

Su Yang dared not delay. He changed his clothes, concealed his aura with the Concealing God Technique, and left the cave, heading towards the garrison headquarters.

His cave dwelling was not far from the garrison headquarters.

We'll arrive soon.

Liu Yuan was already waiting in the front hall. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Su Yang arrive.

"Junior Brother Su, you've finally arrived! Fairy Maiden has just emerged from seclusion; her injuries should be almost fully healed. Let's hurry and pay our respects."

Su Yang nodded in agreement.

The two went to the backyard together.
