Chapter 391 The Power of the Magical Treasure [Flame Dragon Ring] [Please Subscribe]

Caiyushan outpost.

Zhou Mingde, Zhou Daoyi, and Zhou Chun, three cultivators at the Purple Mansion stage from the Zhou family, arrived here together. Together with Zhou Daoquan, who was already stationed here, the four of them were invited into Lin Hongyu's cave.

Inside the cave, Lin Hongyu, dressed in a red palace gown, looked somewhat haggard and tired, but her joy was evident to everyone.

She also knew the purpose of the gathering of several Zhou family Purple Mansion stage cultivators, and did not mind showing off her newly refined natal magic weapon.

She parted her lips slightly, and a crimson flame shot out from her mouth, landing in her raised hand, revealing a uniquely shaped, fiery red ring-shaped magic weapon.

This magical ring has two rings, an outer one with a curled blade, and an inner one that is a normal ring. The ring is engraved with dragon scale-like patterns.

"This is my natal magic weapon, the Flame Dragon Ring, which I crafted according to the records in the cultivation method I practice. It is made primarily from Flame Core Iron produced from magma, and incorporates two materials that enhance the power of magic weapons: Iron Essence and Copper Essence. It can rival swords and other magic weapons in terms of sharpness, and can also protect the body."

"Furthermore, under my control, this treasure can unleash the Fiery Dragon True Fire, capable of burning mountains and boiling seas. Even ordinary Golden Core cultivators would suffer serious injuries if they came into contact with this fire."

At this point, Lin Hongyu couldn't help but proudly declare, "With this treasure in hand, I'm confident I can fight even a dragon of the same level!"

She was truly lucky; when her natal magic weapon was being crafted, precious spiritual materials like iron essence and copper essence were added to enhance its power.

Generally, cultivators at the Golden Core stage lack sufficient resources and can only barely gather enough materials to craft their own magic weapon. They then slowly accumulate wealth to seek out such spiritual items to enhance the magic weapon's power.

As a result, the natal magic weapons they had just refined were actually of relatively ordinary power.

After hearing her words, Zhou Mingde didn't stand on ceremony and asked directly, "Fellow Daoist Lin, would you allow us to witness the power of this treasure?"

"Of course! Let's go find a place outside and try it out!"

Lin Hongyu smiled gently, then put away her magic weapon and left the Caiyu Mountain stronghold with several Zhou family Purple Mansion cultivators.

After flying hundreds of miles from the base, the group arrived at a mountain range.

Then Lin Hongyu casually pointed to a mountain peak below and said, "Let's use that mountain peak as a target!"

Zhou Chun looked in the direction she pointed and saw that the mountain peak she was pointing to was four or five hundred feet high from the foot to the top, and the circle around the mountain was twenty or thirty miles long.

Such a majestic peak, if he were to take action, he would probably use all his strength, but he could only flatten the summit and carve deep fissures into the mountainside.

It's unrealistic to expect to collapse this mountain.

However, Lin Hongyu simply summoned her natal magic weapon, the Flame Dragon Ring, causing it to grow into a giant fire ring with a diameter of tens of feet, which then floated above the mountaintop.

"Change!"

Lin Hongyu shouted and made hand seals.

The giant ring of fire blazed brightly, vaguely forming a lifelike fiery dragon.

Then, with a flick of Lin Hongyu's finger, the fiery dragon swooped down and crashed into the mountain below.

Rumble!

The deafening roar of the landslide echoed across the wilderness, causing countless beasts to flee in all directions, while flocks of birds took flight in the sky.

At the epicenter of the landslide, countless plumes of dust and thick smoke billowed up, obscuring the sky for dozens of miles around.

Under the blazing fire of the Fiery Dragon, the rocks and soil were burned into lava, which flowed downhill.

The intense heat that spread earlier had already scorched the nearby vegetation into charcoal, and even the rocks were cracking under the extreme heat.

Visible to the naked eye, the mountain peak, which was originally hundreds of feet high, is now less than a hundred feet high. All living things on the mountain, whether birds, beasts, insects, snakes, flowers, trees, or plants, have been reduced to ashes by the True Fire of the Fiery Dragon.

This scene left Zhou Chun and the others speechless with shock.

It must be said that they were not ignorant people; they had witnessed battles between Golden Core cultivators during the Southern Expedition.

However, because the power of the Golden Core cultivators canceled each other out during the battle, and because the battlefield was mostly high in the sky, the visual impact was far less shocking than Lin Hongyu's attack that destroyed a mountain.

Seeing the shocked expressions on their faces, Lin Hongyu smiled faintly, showing no surprise whatsoever.

The further one progresses on the path of cultivation, the greater the gap in strength between each major realm becomes.

This turning point occurs at the Golden Core stage.

Only Golden Core cultivators can wield magic weapons, and the power of magic weapons wielded by Golden Core cultivators is more than ten times stronger than that of third-tier magic weapons wielded by Purple Mansion cultivators.

A Golden Core cultivator with a magical artifact in hand can easily slaughter a Purple Mansion cultivator; this is a qualitative difference!

Of course, magical artifacts also vary in power.

The magical artifact Lin Hongyu possessed, the Flame Dragon Ring, was made of extremely high-grade materials and crafting methods, making its power far superior to that of ordinary magical artifacts.

It is precisely because magical treasures are so powerful that the first thing every cultivator does after forming their Golden Core is to refine their own natal magical treasure.

The difference in strength between a Golden Core cultivator without a natal magic weapon and one with one is enormous.

Lin Hongyu did not have a natal magic weapon before, and although she had formed a golden core, she still lacked a sense of security.

But now that she has her natal magic weapon in hand, she feels a sense of confidence that the world is vast and there is nowhere she cannot go.

Confidence stems from strength; this is an eternal truth.

At that moment, Lin Hongyu raised her hand and a streak of fire shot out from the billowing dust, landing in her hand and transforming into a palm-sized ring.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would have imagined that this palm-sized ring had just destroyed a mountain peak hundreds of feet high with a single blow!

With a flick of her wrist, Lin Hongyu caused the palm-sized ring to automatically transform into a streak of fire and enter her body.

This is the wonder of magical treasures. They no longer need to be stored in a storage bag; they can be freely stored in the body's dantian for nourishment, achieving true control over their use!

After putting away her magical artifact, she said softly, "The commotion was a bit too loud. Let's put out the fire first, and then leave this place!"

Upon hearing his words, the four members of the Zhou family seemed to awaken from a dream. They exchanged glances and saw the shock and joy in each other's eyes.

While Lin Hongyu's displayed strength was indeed astonishing, the fact that she is now the guardian of the Zhou family makes it even more delightful.

As the youngest member of the family present, Zhou Chun immediately said, "What you say is very true, senior. Let me take care of putting out the fire!"

Then he flew forward, made hand seals, and cast a rainmaking spell.

He doesn't have the aptitude for water-attribute spiritual roots, but with his cultivation at the Purple Mansion stage, it's not difficult for him to perform some rain-making techniques.

When Lin Hongyu retrieved her magic weapon, she had already withdrawn the power of the Fiery Dragon True Fire, so extinguishing the mountain fire with rainwater would not be difficult.

In less than 15 minutes, he extinguished the wildfire and prevented a disaster.

Only after confirming that the wildfire was completely extinguished did the group return to their base at Caiyushan.

An hour later, a giant black bird with a wingspan of several meters flew in from afar, circled around the ruins of the mountain a few times, and then left the place with a look of awe in its eyes.

Lin Hongyu's test of skills was not done randomly in one place. This area had already been explored by the Zhou family, and there were no signs of fourth-tier demonic beasts within a radius of five or six hundred miles.

In this way, even if she makes a big fuss while testing the power of her magical artifact, she won't attract any fourth-tier demonic beasts.

Even if a third-tier demonic beast came to the scene to investigate, it couldn't discern anything, and couldn't tell whether the traces on the ground were left by a cultivator or a fourth-tier demonic beast.

Meanwhile, after the Zhou family returned to their stronghold at Caiyu Mountain, they first showered Lin Hongyu with praise and congratulations.

Then Zhou Chun looked at Lin Hongyu with expectant eyes and asked, "Senior Lin, now that you have accomplished your mission, when will you be able to help me obtain the Thousand-Year Dragon Transformation Grass?"

Faced with his question, Lin Hongyu considered for a moment before quickly replying, "This seclusion to refine my natal magic weapon has taken a heavy toll on my mental energy, and I also need some time to familiarize myself with the weapon's power and cultivate a life-saving escape technique. It may take another three to five years before I can help you with this, Zhengchun!"

Another three to five years?

Zhou Chun felt slightly disappointed, but she also understood that Lin Hongyu's words made sense.

After all, she was tasked with drawing away the dragon. If the dragon was too strong and she was no match for it, she would indeed need a life-saving escape technique to leave the battlefield.

So he didn't say much, just nodded and said, "Of course, of course, I can wait three to five years."

Hearing his words, Lin Hongyu seemed somewhat apologetic. After thinking for a moment, she looked at him and said, "I was able to refine my natal magic weapon this time, and it's all thanks to you. Now that I have my own natal magic weapon, my old magic tools are no longer of any use, so I'll give them to you to dispose of!"

As he spoke, he patted the storage bag at his waist and took out two exquisite third-grade high-quality magic weapons, handing them to Zhou Chun.

She was originally a highly valued protector of the Red Dragon Hall of the Transformation Dragon Sect, and all her magical artifacts were of the finest quality.

However, she had already sold several magical artifacts at a discount in order to purchase spiritual items to aid in the formation of the Golden Core, so she didn't have many magical artifacts left.

Now, apart from keeping one self-defense artifact, the two artifacts she took out are all the artifacts she has.

These two magical artifacts alone could fetch tens of thousands of spirit coins at auction.

"this……"

Zhou Chun hesitated when he saw the magical artifact that Lin Hongyu handed over, and did not accept it immediately.

His original idea was to exchange information about the Cold Jade Mine for Lin Hongyu's help in obtaining the Thousand-Year Dragon Transformation Grass, and that would be enough for him.

"Since Hongyu has already been given to you, Zhengchun, please don't be shy. Just consider it a gift from your elders."

Seeing Zhou Chun's hesitation, Zhou Daoyi easily understood his thoughts and couldn't help but offer some words of advice.

Lin Hongyu also said, "My husband is right. I am, after all, your elder, so it's normal for me to bestow some magical artifacts upon you. Don't you consider me your elder?"

Once those words were spoken, Zhou Chun could no longer refuse.

He could only accept the magical artifact and repeatedly thanked her, saying, "Then this junior will not stand on ceremony. Thank you, Great-Grandmother, for bestowing this treasure upon me."

According to seniority, Zhou Chun, who belongs to the "Zheng" generation, should indeed call Zhou Daoyi his great-grandfather.

So it's not wrong to call Lin Hongyu her great-grandmother.

His calling her "great-grandmother" made Lin Hongyu beam with joy, and she repeatedly praised him.

The group didn't linger in Caiyu Valley and quickly returned to Jiufeng Ridge.

However, when Zhou Chun returned, he informed him that the family had agreed to promote Xu Fu to honorary elder, but the announcement would be made to the entire family after he returned to Lanzhou.

Xu Fu was naturally overjoyed by this result and immediately kowtowed to Zhou Chun to express his gratitude and pledge his loyalty.

Meanwhile, Zhou Chun, after returning to his family, also examined the two magical artifacts that Lin Hongyu had given him in his residence.

Of these two magical artifacts, he was very familiar with one of them. It was the crimson decapitation sword that Lin Hongyu used when he first saw her.

This magical artifact is extremely sharp; Lin Hongyu once used it to sever the body of the Azure Dragon in one strike.

Moreover, this magical artifact was tailor-made for cultivators of the Dragon Transformation Sect, making it highly suitable for use as a melee weapon after casting the "Dragon Transformation Secret Technique".

Zhou Chun could refine it to enhance his combat power after using the "Dragon Transformation Secret Technique".

As for the other magical artifact bestowed by Lin Hongyu, it was a dragon scale token, which was made from the scales of a fourth-tier Crimson Fire Flood Dragon and could be used to unleash the dragon's fire to attack enemies.

Although the dragon fire activated by this dragon scale token cannot compare to the demonic fire spewed by a true fourth-order Crimson Fire Dragon, it still has great destructive power against cultivators in the Purple Mansion stage.

Because the power of this item comes from the dragon fire that comes with the magic weapon itself, even though it is a fire-attribute magic weapon, Zhou Chun can unleash its full power when using it, making it a very good magic weapon.

With these two magical artifacts as supplements, Zhou Chun's shortcomings in magical artifacts have been almost completely made up.

Not long after, Zhou Chun's opportunity to show his skills came.

On this day, Qinglian Temple finally launched an operation against the various cultivation families within Lingzhou who had chosen to remain hidden.

The decree from Qinglian Temple was sent directly to the Zhou family, requiring them to send two Purple Mansion stage cultivators and three Foundation Establishment stage cultivators to Lingzhou to participate in the suppression of the rebellious cultivation families.

Yes, Qinglian Temple still did not directly attack the main gate or branch of Tianjing Sect this time, but only eliminated the cultivation families under the Tianjing Sect.

It seems they intend to use this method to force the Tianjing Sect to directly intervene.

Naturally, it was still the Zhou family and other cultivation families that made the move this time, only they were more organized than before.

After receiving the imperial decree, the Zhou family's senior members discussed the matter briefly and then sent Zhou Mingde and Zhou Chun with Zhou Jiapeng, Zhou Zhengyong, and Zhou Xintie, three Foundation Establishment cultivators, to the border of Lingzhou to assemble.

It was quite a coincidence that after the five members of the Zhou family arrived at the place notified by Qinglian Temple, they discovered that there were quite a few familiar faces among the cultivators gathered there.

The Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Wang family of Red Medicine Valley, the He family of Green Bamboo Mountain, and the Sun family of Golden Maple Ridge were all assigned to the same team as the Zhou family. Among the other Foundation Establishment cultivators who came, Zhou Chun also saw many families that had close ties with the Zhou family.

Clearly, this was an arrangement intentionally made by Qinglian Temple.

And the leader of their team was the Zhou family.

Only one update today!
