Chapter 594 The Heavenly Fire Sect's Foundation, Choosing a Treasure [Long Chapter, Please Subscribe]

Although Zhou Chun knew that she had been tricked by Jin Xinglie, she wasn't really angry.

The reason is simple: the effects of Fire Dragon Spirits are indeed very good.

Zhou Chun's physical body was already far stronger than that of other cultivators of the same level. Spiritual objects that had some body-tempering effects on many cultivators of the same level had almost no effect on him.

However, Fire Dragon Spirits is not among them.

The power of this spiritual wine spreads violently throughout the body, like a raging fire dragon surging and thrashing through the limbs and bones. While making people feel intoxicated, it also cleanses the meridians and tempers the flesh and bones.

Zhou Chun felt that this spirit wine might also have the effect of clearing away toxins accumulated in the body, such as erysipelas and drug poisoning, but because he often took [Purifying Essence Water], the effect in this regard was not obvious.

After enduring the raging fire for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Zhou Chun's internal energy from the fiery dragon liquor finally subsided, and his complexion quickly returned to normal.

At that moment, he felt warm all over, as if he had just soaked in a hot spring, and felt indescribably comfortable.

"So, does this Fire Dragon Spirit Wine meet Fellow Daoist Zhang's standards?"

Jin Xinglie looked at Zhou Chun with a smile and asked, seemingly unafraid that Zhou Chun would hold him accountable for the teasing earlier.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun sincerely praised, "It is indeed a rare and excellent wine! It is as strong as fire, as potent as a dragon, and has a very sweet aftertaste. It is truly the most unique and wonderful wine I have ever drunk in my life!"

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Zhang is indeed a connoisseur of wine. I was right about you."

Jin Xinglie laughed heartily, quite satisfied with Zhou Chun's answer.

It should be noted that although he had a slight intention to tease Zhou Chun, he still spared no expense to serve him such a precious spirit wine as Fire Dragon Spirit Wine.

Such spiritual wine is not easy to brew. Originally, it was only supplied to the two Nascent Soul stage cultivators of the Heavenly Fire Sect. The Golden Core stage cultivators of our sect can only be given a small pot every hundred years. It is not enough for our own consumption, let alone extra to entertain others.

It was only because Jin Xinglie was the sect leader and a late-stage Golden Core cultivator that he had more Fire Dragon Liquor than ordinary sect elders, and could occasionally spare a cup or two to entertain distinguished guests.

Zhou Chun arrived with the Heavenly Fire Token of True Man Yan Cang, and True Man Yan Cang had specifically instructed him on this matter after his return. Jin Xinglie was only willing to go to such lengths because of this sect's founder.

Otherwise, even if a late-stage Golden Core cultivator came to visit, they wouldn't be able to get this Fire Dragon Wine from him.

There's no need to go into details about these things; he believed that Zhou Chun himself should understand the value of this spirit wine and his own sincerity.

After a brief laugh, Jin Xinglie quickly got down to business.

He looked at Zhou Chun with a solemn expression and said, "After Ancestor Yan Cang returned, he instructed that Fellow Daoist Zhang would come to visit our sect more than ten years later. Please allow me to give you a proper welcome."

"Now that the ten-year period has not yet arrived, Fellow Daoist Zhang has already arrived ahead of schedule. I, Jin, will now report to the Ancestral Master on your behalf and request to hear the Ancestral Master's arrangements."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun quickly bowed and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Sect Leader Jin."

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, please wait a moment. I will send a message to the Ancestral Master."

As Jin Xinglie spoke, he took out a communication flying sword, attached the message of Zhou Chun's arrival to it, and sent it out.

While waiting for Yan Cang Zhenren's reply, he also chatted with Zhou Chun with a smile about his various experiences in the cultivation world, commenting on the forces and celebrities of various countries in the cultivation world of the far west, so as not to keep Zhou Chun waiting in vain.

As Zhou Chun and Jin Xinglie shared their experiences, time seemed to stand still.

It wasn't until Yan Cang Zhenren's message flew into the main hall that the two were forced to interrupt their conversation, still not finished.

Jin Xinglie reached out and caught the flying sword that sent the message back. After briefly examining the reply, he looked at Zhou Chun with a smile and said, "Ancestor Yan Cang already knows Fellow Daoist Zhang's purpose. He has asked you to stay in our sect for a while. Once he has completed his seclusion, he will immediately meet with you."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun frowned slightly and couldn't help but ask, "Did Senior Yan Cang specify how much longer he will need to remain in seclusion?"

No, not at all.

Jin Xinglie shook his head slightly, then, seeing Zhou Chun's furrowed brows, he added, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, there's no need to worry. Ancestor Yan Cang isn't currently in seclusion for cultivation; in fact, he'll be refining weapons for some seniors later. He should emerge from seclusion in three to five years at most!"

"Alright, since that's the case, then I, Zhang, will continue to nag Master Jin."

Zhou Chun nodded slightly, which was taken as an agreement.

"Hehehe, no trouble at all, no trouble at all. It's a rare treat to have such an honored guest as Fellow Daoist Zhang come from afar. I and the elders of our sect would also like to have more exchanges with Fellow Daoist Zhang and learn about the situation beyond the far west!"

Jin Xinglie chuckled and said enthusiastically.

Next, under Jin Xinglie's arrangement, Zhou Chun moved into a cave dwelling on Tianhuo Peak, which was specially used to entertain distinguished guests.

In terms of cultivation environment, this cave is worse than Zhou Chun's cave in Tu Yunling. However, the rich fire-attribute spiritual energy here is not very friendly to him, and the cultivation effect is not as good as in his own cave.

However, the Fiery Phoenix really liked this place and felt very comfortable in the spirit beast room.

In the following period, at Jin Xinglie's invitation and introduction, Zhou Chun often sat down with the Golden Core cultivators of the Heavenly Fire Sect to discuss the Dao, exchange stories from various places, share cultivation experiences, and exchange cultivation resources.

As expected of the Heavenly Fire Sect, which produced a grandmaster of weapon crafting, the Golden Core cultivators in the sect are all incredibly wealthy, with each person possessing more than three magic treasures!

In addition to Master Yancang, the Grandmaster of Weapon Forging, the Heavenly Fire Sect also has two other Grandmasters of Weapon Forging.

One was another Nascent Soul stage cultivator from the Heavenly Fire Sect, and the other was a mid-Golden Core stage cultivator.

Under the tutelage of this Grandmaster and two other Grandmasters, the number of weapon refiners in the Heavenly Fire Sect capable of crafting three high-grade magic weapons is countless. Every disciple in the sect possesses excellent magic weapons and is most adept at using them to intimidate others.

When Zhou Chun was exchanging treasures with Jin Xinglie and others, even a Golden Core stage elder from the Heavenly Fire Sect offered to exchange them for magical artifacts.

Of course, they also knew that magic treasures were rare, so although they didn't necessarily require Zhou Chun to offer a magic treasure in exchange, they all requested some precious items of the same level, such as pills to improve one's magical power, top-tier magic treasure materials like [Gengjin], or precious items like fourth-order demon cores.

Unfortunately, Zhou Chun didn't lack magical treasures, and Yan Cang Zhenren had promised to help him customize one, so he wasn't particularly tempted.

They simply took out some rare spiritual materials with attributes like water, wood, and ice, which were uncommon in the cultivation world of the far west, and exchanged them for materials such as gold essence, silver essence, and iron essence suitable for strengthening magic weapons.

Most of the Golden Core stage cultivators in the Heavenly Fire Sect practice fire-attribute techniques and possess remarkable weapon-refining skills. The iron and copper essence they refine are of very high quality, making them ideal for creating magical treasures.

To obtain spiritual materials of this quality from the Great Zhou Kingdom not only depends on luck, but also costs a great deal.

During this exchange, some of the water-attribute spiritual items from Longyuanze that Zhou Chun brought, as well as some pills like the [Fire-Clearing Pill] to neutralize fire poison, were highly sought after by the Golden Core stage cultivators of the Heavenly Fire Sect.

As an active volcano, even though the Heavenly Fire Sect used a grand formation to refine and purify the spiritual energy of this place, the fire-evil poison contained within the spiritual energy was still difficult to completely eliminate.

Therefore, many cultivators of the Heavenly Fire Sect accumulate a lot of fire poison and evil energy in their bodies after long-term cultivation. This kind of fire poison and evil energy is highly integrated with their magical power cultivation, and it is difficult to eliminate it by ordinary means.

This led many cultivators of the Heavenly Fire Sect to eventually leave the sect and cultivate elsewhere, slowly dissolving the fire poison and evil energy through the grinding process of water, so as not to let it affect their breakthrough in realm.

However, some cultivators of the Heavenly Fire Sect who have the means will seek out water-attribute spiritual objects or pills to neutralize fire poison in order to resolve the fire poison and evil energy in their bodies.

In this way, they don't have to leave the sacred mountain grounds that are very suitable for their cultivation, nor do they have to go through the trouble of honing their magical power to resolve the fire poison and evil energy. Naturally, their cultivation speed will be much faster than those fellow disciples who have gone down the mountain.

However, in the cultivation world of the far west, only a very few places can produce water-attribute spiritual items, while the number of people who need to neutralize fire poison and evil energy is enormous. The spiritual items and pills transported from other places are never enough to meet the needs of the local cultivators.

Therefore, apart from a few juniors who are most valued by the Golden Core elders, the vast majority of Heavenly Fire Sect disciples cannot do this for long.

Under these circumstances, the water-attribute spiritual items and fire-poison-resolving pills that Zhou Chun took out were naturally highly sought after.

The cultivators of Jing Kingdom probably never imagined that some spiritual items, which were only intended for Foundation Establishment and Purple Mansion stage cultivators, could actually be used to exchange for precious magical treasures and spiritual materials such as gold essence and iron essence.

Jin Xinglie even told Zhou Chun that if he could bring a large number of such spiritual items to supply the Heavenly Fire Sect, he could have the sect's weapon-refining masters customize magic weapons for him, or exchange them for magic weapons!

The proposal seemed tempting at first glance, but considering the long journey from Jingguo to Huoluoguo, it was estimated that only Zhou Chun in the entire Zhou family was capable of doing such a job, and he naturally wouldn't waste his time and energy on it.

After all, the amount of water-attribute spiritual items and [Fire-Clearing Pills] he brought, even at the prices set by the Heavenly Fire Sect, would still be enormous if it were enough to make up the quantity needed for a low-grade magic weapon. It would require almost ten years of the Zhou family's production!

While acquiring a low-grade magic weapon over ten years might seem like a good deal, considering the various dangers and sacrifices involved, it's not worth it, at least in Zhou Chun's eyes.

If making this kind of money were so easy, why doesn't the Heavenly Fire Sect send people to purchase goods from all over the Great Zhou Kingdom? Why don't other external forces come here specifically to do this business?

Zhou Chun is no longer the penniless little cultivator who fantasizes about getting rich overnight.

Previously, when he and the Zhou family had nothing, they dared to take risks and gamble on things that they knew were dangerous but had huge profits.

He himself has a bright future, and the Zhou family is also developing steadily. They would not easily get involved in something that is full of uncertainty and danger, even if the profits are considerable.

To put it simply, they've put on their shoes and learned to cherish their reputation!

However, Zhou Chun still asked Jin Xinglie to do one thing: to ask the Golden Core mid-stage weapon-refining master of the Heavenly Fire Sect to help repair the Flame Pearl magic weapon obtained from Shan Tianlong.

This magical artifact is only damaged in its original form. With the help of a master craftsman and the addition of some materials, there is still a great chance that it can be repaired.

And Zhou Chun happens to have the least shortage of materials right now.

Perhaps in order to curry favor with Zhou Chun, Jin Xinglie readily agreed to this.

Furthermore, Zhou Chun received the fully repaired magic weapon less than six months after handing it over.

The fully repaired Flame Orb is just as powerful as before, and it can be used for both offense and defense. In terms of quality, it is even better than the Water Dragon Orb magic weapon in Su Yuzhen's hands.

Zhou Chun no longer needs this item, and he plans to give it to Zhou Mingde.

That day, Zhou Chun was cultivating in his cave when he suddenly sensed that the warning array had been activated and someone had come to visit.

He immediately ended his meditation, opened the magic array, and let the person in.

The person who came to visit was not a Golden Core elder of the Heavenly Fire Sect, but a female cultivator in a red dress with a mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivation.

"Senior Zhang, I have brought the Fire Jade Red Lotus Seeds and Purple Sunflower Spirit Seeds you requested. Please inspect them."

After the female cultivator in the red dress entered Zhou Chun's cave, she respectfully handed over two jade boxes without Zhou Chun needing to ask her purpose.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Chun's face lit up with joy. He immediately reached out and took the jade box, opening it to examine it closely.

One of the jade boxes contained about sixty or seventy red seeds that resembled peanuts.

This item is called Fire Jade Red Lotus. Although it has the word "lotus" in its name, it has nothing to do with lotus flowers. It is a spiritual fruit that is planted in arid spiritual fields.

This spiritual fruit is produced by a vine plant, and the fruit is about the size of a watermelon. When cut open, it contains white flesh and red seeds.

Although the white flesh is sweet and delicious, it only satisfies the appetite. The red seeds are the essence, rich in fire-attribute spiritual power, which is very much loved by the Fiery Phoenix.

The other jade box contained two to three hundred purplish-red seeds that looked like sunflower seeds.

This thing is called Purple Sunflower, which is also a kind of spiritual fruit. The flesh is not only delicious, but long-term consumption can also help to cleanse the marrow and improve the cultivator's affinity for fire-attribute spiritual energy, which is equivalent to improving aptitude. Moreover, the Fiery Phoenix also loves to eat this thing.

After consuming and learning about the uses of these two spiritual fruits, Zhou Chun took them to heart.

According to the information he gathered, these two kinds of spiritual fruits are not unique to the Heavenly Fire Sect; it's just that the spiritual seeds are not easy to buy on the market.

Just then, the purple-clad female cultivator in front of him had heard about his identity and background and came to ask him for a favor, so he went along with it and asked her to help him find the seeds of two kinds of spiritual objects.

Unexpectedly, the other party accomplished this in less than two months.

After carefully inspecting the seeds, Zhou Chun nodded in satisfaction and said, "Not bad, not bad. They are indeed all high-quality seeds with plump grains. It seems that Fellow Daoist Bai has really put in the effort."

"I'm glad you're satisfied, Senior Zhang. Now, regarding my request..."

Bai Zhiqing looked at Zhou Chun expectantly, her eyes filled with trepidation.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Chun immediately laughed heartily and said, "This is easy to discuss. Since I promised you before, I naturally won't go back on my word."

After saying that, he raised his hand, patted the storage bag at his waist, took out a jade box, and handed it to the other party.

"Thank you so much for your kind gift, senior!"

Bai Zhiqing's face lit up with joy, and she quickly bowed and thanked him.

After a slight hesitation, she carefully opened the jade box to inspect it.

Inside the jade box was a pale blue pearl.

This is a spirit pearl nurtured by a second-tier clam demon for a hundred years, containing pure and abundant water-attribute spiritual power.

Even without refining, low-level cultivators can simply string these items together and wear them on their bodies to experience the effects of moisturizing the body, nourishing the complexion, and relieving heat.

However, when it falls into the hands of the Heavenly Fire Sect disciples, this item can be refined into a magic weapon to help them dispel the poisonous fire and evil energy, and its value is even higher than that of a third-tier magic weapon!

Bai Zhiqing was already at the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion realm, so this spiritual pearl was no longer of any use to her.

She sought this item for her younger cousin who was at the Foundation Establishment stage, intending to refine it into a cool and refreshing pearl as a gift for her to receive upon reaching Foundation Establishment.

Having confirmed the authenticity of the spirit pearl, Bai Zhiqing put it away with peace of mind and then prepared to bid farewell to Zhou Chun and leave.

Before she could even speak, Zhou Chun suddenly said, "By the way, I wonder if Fellow Daoist Bai would like more of these spirit pearls? I, Zhang, also have a few of these spirit pearls left."

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhiqin was slightly taken aback, then nodded repeatedly with a delighted expression, saying, "Of course I want it, but I wonder how Senior Zhang plans to conduct the transaction?"

The Cooling Pearl, crafted using a water-attribute spirit pearl, also has an upper limit and a time limit for dispelling fire poison and evil energy.

As time goes by, the pearl will gradually be eroded by the fire poison and evil energy due to its excessive contact with it, until it becomes completely unusable.

Otherwise, the Heavenly Fire Sect could simply equip each of its disciples with such a magical artifact, and everything would be fine, allowing the sect to pass down its traditions generation after generation.

So when Bai Zhiqing heard that she could obtain more spirit pearls, she was naturally unwilling to miss the opportunity.

Zhou Chun had already anticipated this, and at this moment he said unhurriedly, "I am currently a guest of your sect and it is inconvenient for me to travel around. However, I would like someone to help me travel around and collect some spiritual resources unique to the cultivation world in the far west. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Bai would be willing to take on this task?"

Upon hearing his condition, Bai Zhiqin's tense mind immediately relaxed, and she respectfully replied, "It is my honor to serve Senior Zhang. I will do my best to fulfill my duties!"

"Very well! In that case, I'll trouble Fellow Daoist Bai."

Zhou Chun smiled slightly and immediately handed over a list and nearly 100,000 spirit coins to the other party.

Bai Zhiqing was a true disciple of the Heavenly Fire Sect, and Zhou Chun was not afraid that she would run away with the spirit coins he gave her, so he felt at ease accepting the advance payment.

With Bai Zhiqing's help to travel throughout the Huoluo Kingdom and collect what he wanted, Zhou Chun could focus on his cultivation on Tianhuo Peak and wait for Yan Cang Zhenren to emerge from seclusion.

Time passed slowly, and soon Zhou Chun had been in the Heavenly Fire Sect for two and a half years.

On this day, Zhou Chun, who had been waiting for more than two years, finally received the good news that Yan Cang Zhenren had emerged from seclusion and summoned him.

Upon receiving the news, he immediately followed Jin Xinglie to a certain location on the summit of Tianhuo Peak.

In the past two years, Zhou Chun has not stayed at home and done nothing.

He already knew that the reason why the Heavenly Fire Sect had been able to survive peacefully on this active volcano for thousands of years was mainly because it resolved the crisis of volcanic eruption through three aspects.

One method involves using the power of the grand formation to continuously draw upon the power of the fire veins below to nourish a powerful fire-attribute spiritual treasure, thereby eliminating the fire vein energy.

The second method involves planting a large number of spiritual plants on the mountain that absorb fire-attribute spiritual energy to stabilize the earth's veins, regulate the earth's energy, and digest the fire energy.

Third, a Nascent Soul stage cultivator would oversee the Fire Eye, periodically using the power of the grand formation to guide the active volcano to erupt on a small scale, directing the erupted lava through several channels to certain open areas at the foot of the mountain. Once the lava solidified, people would be arranged to transport and clean it up.

Because of this, the Heavenly Fire Sect must always have a Nascent Soul stage cultivator guarding the sect, so as to ensure that the sect will not be buried by a sudden eruption of lava if the cultivator suddenly leaves!

This explains why Master Yancang didn't allow Zhou Chun to seek help from another Nascent Soul stage master in their sect, and why this other Nascent Soul stage master didn't go looking for him even after he had been missing for many years.

It's not that I'm unwilling, but that I'm unable to!

However, although Tianhuo Sect's actions amounted to imprisoning its own Nascent Soul stage cultivators, the benefits were also very obvious.

First of all, no other major power would be interested in Tianhuo Peak, this blessed land of spiritual energy. They would even help Tianhuo Sect cultivate Nascent Soul stage cultivators to prevent a break in their Nascent Soul stage cultivation, which could lead to a volcanic eruption at the foot of Tianhuo Peak.

It should be known that with the size of the volcano beneath Tianhuo Peak, a single full-force eruption could destroy half of the Fire Basin Oasis, which would be a major blow to the Huoluo Kingdom!

Furthermore, Tianhuo Peak is an absolute holy land for cultivators who practice fire-attribute techniques, no less than the mountain gate of any major sect in the cultivation world of the far west.

The abundant geothermal resources here are of great help in refining weapons and pills, eliminating the need to specially drill through the earth's veins to obtain fire.

Furthermore, although it takes a lot of effort for Nascent Soul stage cultivators to suppress the fire veins, they can also frequently capture and refine the fire essences born within the fire veins, which is very beneficial for improving their cultivation.

The core of the Heavenly Fire Sect's protective mountain formation is located on the summit of Heavenly Fire Peak, where the supposedly extremely powerful spiritual treasure is also located!

After Zhou Chun arrived at the mountaintop with Jin Xinglie, he easily passed through the mountaintop formation and entered the mountaintop area.

Then he witnessed a truly awe-inspiring scene.

Above the massive crater at the summit, hundreds of feet in diameter, a fire dragon hundreds of feet long lay high in a cloud of fire. With each breath, streams of tangible, crimson fire-attribute spiritual energy surged from the crater below and entered its body.

"This is……"

Zhou Chun stared at the fire dragon in shock, unsure how to describe the scene.

"That's the manifestation of the spirit of our sect's most precious treasure, the Heavenly Fire Divine Pearl!"

Jin Xinglie gave a brief explanation, then raised his hand and gestured, "Ancestor Yan Cang's cave is over there. Fellow Daoist Zhang, please follow me."

He clearly didn't want to talk about the fire dragon anymore.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun was filled with shock and curiosity, but he could only leave with him.

However, in his heart, Zhou Chun couldn't help but speculate about the situation of the fire dragon.

He originally thought that the powerful spiritual treasure mentioned by the Tianhuo Sect disciples would be a spiritual treasure like the [Moon Toad Pearl].

After all, the Moon Toad Pearl, under his control, had absorbed the Xuanming Cold Qi that overflowed from the Xuanming Water Eye Powder.

But now, seeing the power of that fire dragon, Zhou Chun immediately knew that the Heavenly Fire Sect's inherited treasure, the Heavenly Fire Divine Pearl, even if it wasn't a legendary spiritual treasure that even a Nascent Soul cultivator might not possess, was definitely a top-tier spiritual treasure.

With such a powerful spiritual treasure in the hands of a Nascent Soul cultivator, and with the assistance of a mountain-protecting formation, Zhou Chun suspected that even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator would likely be unable to do anything to the Nascent Soul True Person of the Heavenly Fire Sect who remained secluded!

"The Heavenly Fire Sect's foundation is far more impressive than what I've heard from outside!"

Zhou Chun muttered to himself, not finding it strange at all.

After all, not everyone is like him, possessing a powerful spiritual treasure while only at the Golden Core stage, and knowing the different levels of power of spiritual treasures.

Even if a Golden Core elder from the Heavenly Fire Sect came here and saw the power of the fire dragon, he would at most think that it was the normal power of a powerful spiritual treasure.

Those cultivators who knew the inside story were either Nascent Soul stage cultivators or top-tier late-stage Golden Core cultivators. Naturally, these people wouldn't gossip and needlessly provoke the Heavenly Fire Sect's hostility.

Thus, the Heavenly Fire Sect, which usually only has one Nascent Soul stage cultivator, is nothing special in the eyes of most cultivators!

Led by Jin Xinglie, Zhou Chun soon arrived at a cave dwelling located several dozen feet down east of the crater.

This cave dwelling is half suspended in the air, embedded in the mountain wall, and half deep inside the mountain.

Typically, in this type of cave dwelling, the outer pavilions and palaces are used for entertaining guests, while the cultivation chambers, living quarters, and treasure troves are located inside the mountain.

"Reporting to the Ancestor, your disciple has brought Fellow Daoist Zhang."

After Jin Xinglie brought Zhou Chun to the vicinity of the suspended pavilion, he immediately bowed and reported to it.

Then, Yan Cang Zhenren's majestic and powerful voice came from within: "Fellow Daoist Zhang, please come in by yourself. Junior Nephew Jin, you can go back first."

"Yes, Your junior (disciple) obeys!"

Zhou Chun and Jin Xinglie agreed in unison, then nodded to each other and stepped back.

Zhou Chun stepped forward and quickly followed a suddenly appearing rainbow bridge of firelight into the upper level of a suspended pavilion, where he saw Yan Cang Zhenren sitting in a chair, sipping tea.

Inside the cave of this master craftsman, there seemed to be no servants at all; he was actually a rare ascetic!

"This junior greets Senior Yan Cang."

Zhou Chun bowed respectfully to show his respect.

"Young friend, there's no need for such formalities. I've been in seclusion these past two years healing my injuries, and I've neglected you. I hope you won't take offense."

Master Yancang waved his hand and said, his words were very polite.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun quickly replied politely, "This junior wouldn't dare! Senior, your health is of utmost importance; it's no trouble that I've taken a little longer!"

"I'm glad you understand, young friend."

Master Yan Cang nodded, then looked directly at Zhou Chun and said, "I naturally know why you've come, young friend. I happen to have two high-grade magic treasures here that suit your attributes. Please choose one!"

"As for the Spirit Spring Fire Eye, you may use it freely with your fire phoenix during the time I am refining the weapon."

"I have already communicated with the sect about that [Fire Element Immortal Mushroom], young friend, you are welcome to pick and take it away at any time!"

"As for the matter of repairing and crafting magical artifacts as promised to you, I will need to have you present your requirements for materials and supplies before I can give you an answer!"

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Zhou Chun's response, he simply waved his hand and took out two high-grade magic treasures that he had prepared for Zhou Chun to choose from.

These two superior magical treasures were quite impressive. One was a golden arrow, less than five feet long, yet it exuded an incomparably sharp aura.

The other item was a pair of rings, one gold and one silver, their aura restrained as if they were ordinary inanimate objects, completely opposite to the short spear.

Looking at the two top-grade magic treasures, Zhou Chun felt he wanted both, and it would be hard to give up either one.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally looked at Master Yan Cang and said, "Senior Yan Cang, could you please tell me about the supernatural powers of these two magical treasures?"

"The long arrow is named the [Gengjin Soul-Chasing Life-Taking Arrow]. The arrowhead is infused with seven ounces of Gengjin metal, and the entire arrow is forged from materials such as gold essence and meteorite iron. Once it locks onto the target's aura, it can chase away their soul and take their life, and it will not stop until its power is exhausted!"

"As for these two rings, they are a treasure left behind by one of our sect's founders, named the [Dragon and Tiger Golden Rings]. They can be used together to attack enemies, or the dragon ring can be used for protection while the tiger ring attacks. When used together, they are a superior-grade magic weapon; when separated, they are a top-grade mid-grade magic weapon!"

Master Yan Cang glanced at him and briefly explained the functions of the two magical treasures.

After listening to Master Yancang's introduction, Zhou Chun felt even more conflicted.

The Soul-Chasing and Life-Taking Arrow of Gengjin is undoubtedly very powerful. Even if it is outside the range of divine sense guidance, it can still autonomously track the enemy based on the enemy's aura. This is extremely effective for chasing down some fleeing enemies.

The key point is that this thing itself is also very lethal, so there is no fear of being unable to harm the enemy even if you chase after it.

The Dragon and Tiger Golden Rings are both offensive and defensive, and are a rare set of magical artifacts. Their actual power should not disappoint.

Seeing that Zhou Chun was hesitant to make a choice, Master Yan Cang seemed to grow impatient and immediately said, "Young friend, just choose according to your own needs. You already have a spiritual treasure in hand, so these magic weapons are only meant to be temporary. Why hesitate so much!"

A single word awakened me from my dream!

Upon hearing what Master Yancang said, Zhou Chun quickly realized that the [Gengjin Soul-Chasing Arrow] was actually less effective for him than the [Dragon-Tiger Golden Ring], especially since he already possessed the [Two Dragons Overturning the Sea Bottle].

He quickly raised his hand and took the pair of Dragon and Tiger Golden Rings, saying, "This junior will choose this pair of Dragon and Tiger Golden Rings."

Upon seeing this, True Immortal Yan Cang immediately raised his hand and retrieved the golden arrow. He then nodded and said, "Very well, since you have made your choice, young friend, let me now take a look at your superior-grade magic weapon and the materials you have prepared for refining it!"

"I understand."

Zhou Chun responded and immediately raised his hand to pat his storage bag, taking out the [Two Dragons Overturning the Sea Bottle] and various refining materials he had prepared.

As he expected, when True Person Yan Cang saw the dragon teeth and demon soul of the fifth-order Thunder Flood Dragon, his expression immediately changed!

Another 8,000 words!
