Chapter 218 – Essential Magic Treasure, Thick Earth Desolate Heavenly Halberd
Chapter 218 – True Life Magic Treasure, Thick Earth Desolate Heavenly Halberd
A few days later.
Jiang Chengxuan and his party had successfully made a transit stop to the Kingdom of Shu.
The environment of the Immortal Cultivation World in this country was similar to Zheng.
They didn’t have any desire to stay here for much longer, and soon returned back to the Liang Kingdom through the teleportation array here.
After returning to Liang Country, Jiang Chengxuan and his group returned directly to the Jiang Clan Immortal Clan.
Just after returning to the Jiang Clan, Jiang Rendao, who was responsible for guarding the clan, found them with a somewhat gloomy expression.
And told them a piece of news.
That was that in recent times, the figures of demonic beasts had appeared frequently in various places.
Especially on the border between the human and demon races.
Some of the demonic beasts, even more so, had launched attacks on some of the small towns and even workshops where their human race was located, resulting in the deaths of many mortals and low-ranked cultivators.
This news instantly caused Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan to pay attention to them.
Then he heard Jiang Chengxuan say: ”What is the situation of our Jiang family? Are there any clansmen that have encountered those demonic beasts’ attacks at the moment?”
Jiang Rendao shook his head.
“This is not the case for the time being.
However, as far as I’ve been able to find out, the current areas where those demonic beasts are infested, as well as the places involved in their activities, are gradually increasing in scope.
According to this situation, I’m afraid that it won’t take long for the range of those demonic beasts’ activities to approach the core area where our human race is located.”
Jiang Rendao’s words couldn’t help but make Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan and the others, their faces became a bit gloomy.
It seemed that this wave of Demonic Beast Rebellion was soon to come.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chengxuan immediately said to Jiang Rendao as well as Liu Linglong:
“According to the current situation, the situation is almost clear.
Such frequent movements on the side of the demonic beasts must be a sign that the next wave of demonic beast chaos is coming.
Before this happens, you guys have to prepare yourselves accordingly.
Especially the various war preparations must be prepared as soon as possible.
All of the industries under our Jiang family’s name, as well as the personnel outside, will be contracted and recalled as much as possible.
If you can, try not to go to the borders of the human and demon races for the time being.”
Speaking at this point, Jiang Chengxuan’s tone was slightly stuttered before he then continued:
“Lastly, is everyone’s cultivation, while the Demon Beast Rebellion hasn’t officially arrived, you and I, if we can raise some cultivation and strength, we should try to raise some cultivation and strength as much as possible.”
As the words fell, he saw the storage ring in Jiang Chengxuan’s hand flash with light.
In the next moment, dozens of jade bottles, herbs, magic treasures, magic weapons, talismans, etc., suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Rendao and Liu Linglong and them.
“These magic treasures pills, magic weapons, and talismans, you guys watch the distribution down.
Among them you can use for yourselves, although you can take them to be sacrificed and taken as a way to increase your own strength.
In addition, these materials, you guys watch to help collect them, and if they appear, try to buy them down.”
Saying that, Jiang Chengxuan handed a few more jade slips, to Jiang Rendao and Liu Linglong respectively.
Inside, it clearly recorded a whole range of materials that he and Shen Ruyan needed.
Only at the end did this once again say:
“Next, your uncle and mother and I, we need to go into seclusion once again.
This time, the time will still not be short.
If there are any special circumstances in the middle, you need to notify us in the first instance.”
“Yes, Uncle!”
Jiang Rendao immediately bowed and led the order.
A few moments later.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, then returned to Xuanming Peak together.
After returning to Xuan Ming Peak, the couple took out the storage ring of Elder Wang and the three of them that day.
They wiped out the restrictions that existed on it.
The first thing they opened was Wang Lao’s storage ring.
The other party was worthy of being a veteran cultivator of the ninth level of the Purple Mansion, and there were a variety of treasures, spiritual herbs, and pills within the storage ring, which could be described as quite a lot.
Among them was the Lightning Long Knife that he had used to fight against them that day, a magic treasure that had reached the top grade of the third rank.
This knife had incorporated many thunder-attribute treasure materials.
If all the lightning attribute materials could be smelted out, it would definitely be of great help in enhancing the power of Shen Ruyan’s original treasure.
Secondly, there was a palm-sized piece of Gengjin Glazed Jade.
This item has quite a good effect on enhancing the grade and power of metallic magic treasures, and is exactly what Jiang Chengxuan is currently in urgent need of.
With this item, his own Gengjin Void Sword seemed to have a certain chance of being upgraded to the top grade of the third rank.
Next, was that Ouyang Xuan’s storage ring.
This person was clearly just like the rumors, skilled in the art of harvesting.
From his storage ring, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan saw a number of jade slips on the art of tonic harvesting.
As well as some items used on many female cultivators.
This caused Shen Ruyan’s eyes to immediately flash with a trace of disgust.
However, among them, there were also some relatively useful things.
For example, a dual cultivation method called the Qian Kun Yin Yang Dao.
This method was a dual cultivation method in the true sense of the word, rather than one-sidedly taken and harvested.
It was of great benefit to both parties who practiced it.
It was just that Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were both people who had their hearts set on the Great Dao.
Before they had formally condensed the Jindan, they would not consider this aspect for the time being to prevent the leakage of the innate Yuan Qi.
On top of that, on this person’s body, there was also a bottle of Fei Hua Dan.
This Dan could help cultivators in the late Zifu stage to greatly reduce the time it took to accumulate mana.
It was considered the best elixir for late stage Violet Mansion cultivators to use to accumulate mana, bar none.
And this, presumably, was what that Ouyang Xuan had prepared specifically for himself in the first place.
Unfortunately, now it was all cheap for him and Shen Ruyan.
Finally, there was that Master Lu Ming Dan’s storage ring.
The first thing that made Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan notice it was naturally that Mori White Phantom Flame.
This fire was a rare heaven and earth mysterious fire.
Although the grade was not particularly high, it would ultimately be a Heaven and Earth Xuan Flame.
Whether it was used for alchemy or against the enemy, it was considered a rather good thing.
Next, there were all sorts of spirit herbs, spirit medicines, and spirit pills.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan looked carefully and realized that there weren’t many that were currently useful to them.
However, it would be a good choice if it was given to Jiang Chengxuan to use for practicing, thus enhancing his alchemy level.
[Ding]
In Jiang Chengxuan’s mind, when this thought crossed his mind, a system prompt suddenly came from within his mind.
[Release system task, please host to complete the alchemy level enhancement].
[Note: This upgrade must be for a third-order upper-grade alchemy level].
[Ding]
Just when Jiang Chengxuan thought that this system mission would end here, a system prompt came again from within his mind.
[System mission released, please complete 100 plantings of spiritual grass] [Ding].
What? Spirit grass planting?
Jiang Chengxuan was instantly stunned.
He hadn’t really expected that the system would release such a task to him at this time.
Spirit Grass Planting, wasn’t that the job of a Spirit Planter?
He was already an alchemist, but he couldn’t imagine that he would still have to become a qualified Spiritual Planter, the system was really ……
Shaking his head, Jiang Chengxuan no longer thought about those things.
Since the system wanted him to complete the work of the Spiritual Planter, then he would go and complete the work of the Spiritual Planter at that time.
Anyway, with the system’s nature, as long as he successfully completes the tasks it has issued, the rewards that the system will give him at that time will definitely not let him suffer.
Moreover, with his ability as an Alchemist, it would not be too difficult for him to complete some relatively basic work as a Spiritual Planter.
At that moment, after the couple had distributed the loot they needed, they immediately returned to their respective caves to begin their seclusion.
It had to be said that Jiang Chengxuan’s task for this retreat was no lighter than that of his last retreat.
First of all, it was the refining of the original magic treasure, the Thick Earth Desolate Sky Halberd.
Secondly, it was the upgrading of the grade of the original magic treasure, the Gengjin Void Sword.
After that, there was the cultivation of the technique, as well as the two quests given to him by the system.
If he could, he would also like to raise his attainments in Formation to the third level.
At that time, he thought that the system would give him another wave of rewards.
He just didn’t know if he would be able to accomplish all of these things before the Demon Beast Rebellion came.
If he couldn’t, then he could only pick up the most important things to do first.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chengxuan immediately took out all the materials needed to refine the Thick Earth Desolate Sky Halberd.
They were the Heavenly Desolate Divine Stone rewarded by the system, the pseudo fourth-order treasure material Earth Mother Crystal, the third-order top-grade treasure material E-Tu Heavenly Sand, and the Earth Spirit Dew.
Looking at these precious materials, Jiang Chengxuan didn’t dare to be careless.
He knew very well that with his current refining level, if he wanted to successfully refine that Thick Earth Desolate Heavenly Halberd in one go, I’m afraid that there would still be some difficulty.
In case he failed to do so, then with his current situation, if he wanted to gather such a batch of materials again, in a short period of time, I’m afraid it would be impossible.
Especially the Heavenly Desolate Divine Stones that the system had rewarded him with, it was even more impossible to find them easily.
Therefore, he had to have relatively sufficient certainty before he could proceed with the refining of the Thick Earth Desolate Heavenly Halberd.
Fortunately for me right now, I still have one more chance to possess a master refiner.
By personally possessing a weapon refining master and experiencing his refining process, I might be able to make my current level of weapon refining improve essentially once again.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chengxuan didn’t hesitate and immediately utilized the opportunity to possess a weapon refining master.
Buzz!
In an instant, a familiar feeling of weightlessness came.
By the time Jiang Chengxuan’s consciousness, returned, he suddenly realized that at this moment, he had already become a slender white-clothed youth.
It was different from the previous possession.
This time when he was possessed, Jiang Chengxuan could clearly feel what a huge gap existed between himself and the master refiner he was possessed by in terms of his cultivation in the art of refining weapons.
To say that it was a world of difference would not be an exaggeration.
Dang dang dang!
Along with the duration of time, this white-clothed youth possessed by Jiang Chengxuan instantly began his weapon refining.
The two possessed weapon refining masters, their techniques and styles of refining were obviously very different.
However, the only thing that was the same was that their attainments in weapon refining had clearly reached the peak realm.
In Jiang Chengxuan’s eyes, it was a smooth flow, as if they were displaying an art.
Gradually, Jiang Chengxuan’s consciousness began to immerse into the other party’s weapon refining.
A scene of details was extracted by him.
At this moment, Jiang Chengxuan was like a dried up sponge, frantically sucking in the nutrients that flowed from the other party.
After an unknown amount of time, when Jiang Chengxuan’s consciousness, returned to himself.
He could clearly feel that at this time, his understanding of the artifact refining method had undergone a radical new change.
Closing his mind, he reviewed the gains of this possession in detail.
It was only after about an hour that Jiang Chengxuan reopened his eyes and looked at those weapon refining materials in front of him.
The expression was certain.
It was almost time to refine that Thick Earth Desolate Sky Halberd.
Thinking of this, in Jiang Chengxuan’s hand, a white flame instantly ignited.
It was none other than the Heavenly Earth Xuan Flame, Mori White Spectral Flame.
Using this fire to melt those artifact refining materials in front of him and allowing them to participate in the refining of his current Intrinsic Magic Treasure would undoubtedly increase the success rate of some of his artifact refining.
If things went well, it wouldn’t be impossible to raise the quality of his original magic treasure by a small amount.
Buzz!
Soon, some of the basic weapon refining materials were instantly melted by the Mori White Spectral Flame in Jiang Chengxuan’s hand.
Immediately after, Jiang Chengxuan began his refining of the Thick Earth Desolate Sky Halberd, his original magic treasure, in accordance with the refining methods he had realized earlier when he possessed his body.
Two months later.
All the weapon refining materials in front of Jiang Chengxuan’s eyes had been melted and purified by Jiang Chengxuan.
Three months later.
Before Jiang Chengxuan’s eyes, the outline of a halberd had vaguely appeared.
Accompanied by the burning of the flames, within the cave where Jiang Chengxuan was, a series of dang dang dang dang, as if the metal was hitting the iron, rang out of thin air.
Almost a year later.
Within the cave where Jiang Chengxuan was located, an extremely thick and strong aura suddenly emanated.
This aura was like a mountain peak, like an abyss, like the earth.
It was accompanied by the slightest hint of sharpness to the extreme.
As long as a person was a little bit closer, a clear stabbing pain and oppression would come from the center of the brow.
“Go!”
Jiang Chengxuan suddenly forced out several drops of ruby-like essence blood from his own body, and then without any surprise, all of that essence blood fell onto a halberd in front of him that was bright yellow in color, with a silky pattern engraved on its surface, and up to a zhang in length.
Buzz!
In an instant, the halberd’s body suddenly rose up with a blood aura.
Immediately afterward, it was as if it had come to life, and points of spiritual light began to gulp on its body.
A domineering and thick, brutal and sharp aura once again erupted from its body.
Jiang Chengxuan punched the last spell into that halberd.
The halberd suddenly let out a humming sound.
Immediately, it was as if it had a spiritual nature, and actually flew towards Jiang Chengxuan’s open palm on its own.
Boom!
Jiang Chengxuan instantly grabbed it.
Feeling the strong aura emanating from it, a flash of unstoppable surprise appeared on his face.
Pseudo fourth-ranked magic treasure!
Jiang Chengxuan really hadn’t expected that this time, by refining his own life magic treasure, the Thick Earth Desolate Heaven Halberd, he had actually made it break the shackles of the third rank and reach the level of the pseudo-fourth rank.
With this, the power of this treasure itself alone was enough to rival a False Dan cultivator.
If it was coupled with his physical strength, and even physical magical abilities, even if it was a Jindan real person in front of him, he wouldn’t be without the slightest ability to deal with it.
Rumble!
As these thoughts swept through his mind, Jiang Chengxuan’s figure suddenly drew up.
The muscles on his body were instantly bulging.
A domineering and brutal aura was also violently emitted from his body.
Most importantly, the Thick Earth Desolate Heavenly Halberd in his hand was also rapidly growing larger at this moment as his figure grew larger.
In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a size of five zhang.
With the combination of one person and one halberd, an extremely ferocious and terrifying aura immediately emanated from within the entire cave.
So much so that the many restrictions within the cave, at this moment, actually all lit up.
It even spread to the outside world, causing the entire Xuan Ming Peak’s formation to show signs of opening at full strength.
Fortunately, Jiang Chengxuan reacted quickly and promptly put away his fleshly aptitude, causing his own figure to revert back to its original state, which did not prompt the formations on Xuanming Peak to continue to have excessive stress reactions.
Satisfied, he glanced at the Thick Earth Desolate Heavenly Halberd in his hand.
Only then did Jiang Chengxuan put it into his own body to warm it up.
After that, he took out his other innate magic treasure, the Gengjin Void Sword.
He was going to try to raise it to the upper third rank as well.
However, it was at this moment that a system prompt suddenly came from within his mind.
