Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 349 Casting Blueprints. (Third update!)

After reading the [Heavenly Wheel Mystic Fire Technique], Zheng Que was immediately invigorated.

This technique can be cultivated from the Qi Refining stage all the way to the Core Formation stage!
Moreover, it can also improve the grade of Core Formation.

Although he doesn't yet understand the different grades of Core Formation or its specific classifications, this technique seems perfectly suited to him.

Thinking of this, Zheng Que immediately memorized the spell and then put the three jade slips back into his storage bag.

Immediately afterwards, he took out the iron ruler-shaped magical artifact from his storage bag.

At first glance, this ritual implement appears simple, just a long, dark ruler. But upon closer inspection, one can see pavilions and towers subtly engraved on it, surrounded by a circle of cloud and thunder patterns. The craftsmanship is exquisite and meticulous, the material is sturdy, and it feels excellent to the touch.

Zheng Que took it in his hand and casually swung it a few times. The iron ruler was thick and heavy, and when he swung it, the wind howled and it cut through the air with sharp force.

This seems to be a decent weapon, but I can't seem to activate it with my spiritual power...

"Unfortunately, Chen Zhentao originally had many talismans, but he used them all up when he fought me."

"Otherwise, many of those talismans could be used to save one's life..."

In the blink of an eye, Zheng Que didn't look at the remaining pills and materials in the storage bag, and then picked up Gao Yinxia's storage bag.

Gao Yinxia's storage bag originally had a unique restriction that prevented outsiders from opening it.

However, with Gao Yinxia now in his hands, and with the Ghost Bride and Mu Xiangu by his side, he easily made them lift the restrictions on him themselves...

Upon opening the purple embroidered leaf storage bag, Zheng Que's spirits immediately lifted. He saw that the contents inside were more than ten times greater than those in Chen Zhentao's storage bag!
The spirit stones in Chen Zhentao's storage bag were mostly ordinary low-grade spirit stones, with only a small portion being mid-grade spirit stones.

However, Gao Yinxia's storage bag contained not only a greater quantity of spirit stones, but also mid-grade spirit stones, whose spiritual energy far surpassed that of low-grade spirit stones.

As for pills and materials, Gao Yinxia's storage bag contained more in quantity and of higher quality.

Besides these basic resources, Gao Yinxia's storage bag also contained a large number of talismans, seven or eight jade slips, more than twenty magical artifacts, several different flying devices, more than a dozen boxes whose contents were unknown, and a large number of items whose origins she could not discern, whether they were forging materials or rare treasures...

Just like before, Zheng Que first looked at the jade slip in the storage bag.

Soon, he picked up a jade slip and pressed it against his forehead to examine it.

The contents of the jade slip surged into Zheng Que's mind like a torrent.

This is the blueprint for a ceremonial robe called the "Stunning Clouds and Smoke Skirt." The blueprint details the materials, process, firing temperature, and precautions required for casting this robe...

For a weapon-casting master, such blueprints should be extremely valuable, but he is currently facing a tribulation every so often, and he doesn't even have time for normal cultivation, let alone time to study weapon casting.

Of course, these casting blueprints were not entirely useless.

Once they arrived in the prefectural city, they had Qingli, Niannu, Kulan, and Shuyunying try casting weapons one by one.

Whoever has that talent will become their own weaponsmith...

While pondering, Zheng Que put down the jade slip and then took out a second jade slip from Gao Yinxia's storage bag to continue examining it.

This jade slip contains a blueprint for a sword called the "Flowing Spring Flying Sword".

Zheng Que didn't even finish reading the contents of the jade slip before putting it down and picking up the third jade slip...

A moment later, he read through all the jade slips in Gao Yinxia's storage bag, and his face immediately darkened.

These jade slips contain no cultivation techniques or spells, except for one called "Heavenly Crafting Casting Technique," which consists entirely of casting blueprints!
Zheng Que frowned. He carefully put away all the jade slips and then looked at the dozen or so boxes in his storage bag.

These boxes were all quite large, with an ornate and elaborate appearance, clearly meant to contain important items, and there were quite a few of them. It took Zheng Que some effort to move all of them out.

Fortunately, the interior of the red sedan chair carrying the ghost bride was spacious enough, otherwise it wouldn't have been able to fit her at all.

With anticipation, Zheng Que opened a box. As soon as he opened it, a fragrance that smelled like orchids and musk wafted out. Inside the box were pink, white, pale yellow and willow green clothes, all of which were women's underwear.

Zheng Que was taken aback. To prevent these clothes from being a cover for some hidden treasure, he bent down and rummaged through the box thoroughly. After confirming that they were all underwear, he stopped and turned to the second box.

This box contains all sorts of long dresses, in shades of crimson, magenta, peach, and begonia; pale yellow, duck yellow, orange, and apricot yellow... The patterns are incredibly varied, with intertwined branches, broken twigs, and clusters of pearls... In addition to their gorgeous appearance, all the dresses have intricate runes inside, clearly indicating that they are all magical robes.

Zheng Que took a deep breath, then opened the third and fourth boxes...

Soon, Zheng Que opened all the boxes. Inside were all women's clothing and accessories, in a variety of styles and designs, none of them the same, and all the sizes were exactly the same. Clearly, they were all clothes that Gao Yinxia herself wore.

He frowned slightly as he watched this scene.

I thought these boxes were hiding something good, but they were just full of clothes!
With over a dozen boxes of clothes and accessories, even if Gao Yinxia changed a piece every day, she wouldn't be able to wear them all in several years!

Thinking of this, Zheng Que put the boxes back into his storage bag, and then took out the magical artifacts inside to examine them.

Just then, the figure in the phoenix coronet and embroidered robe reappeared in the main seat.

Seeing the ghost bride return, Zheng Que was about to speak when the ghost bride glanced at the magical artifact in his hand and immediately said, "The magical artifacts of the Heavenly Artifact Sect are indeed good, but they have special restrictions that prevent outsiders from using them except for their owners."

"If you want a magic weapon, it's best to refine it yourself, or you can buy it directly from the Heavenly Weapon Sect."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Que frowned. In other words, he couldn't use any of the magical artifacts in Gao Yinxia's storage bag.
Thinking of this, he quickly took out the iron ruler from Chen Zhentao's storage bag and asked, "What about this magic artifact?"

The ghost bride glanced at it casually and said in a flat tone, "This is also a magical artifact crafted by the Heavenly Artifact Sect."

"Nine out of ten of the magical artifacts of the six major sects come from the Heavenly Artifact Sect."

“This kind of magical artifact has an owner, and outsiders cannot activate it with their spiritual power; they can only use it as an iron rod.”

Zheng Que was immediately disappointed, then asked, "What about my soul-summoning banner?"

"The Soul-Summoning Banner was also forged by the Heavenly Artifact Sect."

The ghost bride calmly said, "Your soul-summoning banner hasn't been refined by anyone before, which is why you can use it."

"Furthermore, you haven't truly refined it yet."

"Once you reach the Foundation Establishment stage and truly refine that Soul-Summoning Banner, you will understand the reason behind it."

At this point, the ghost bride suddenly made a gesture, and the red sedan chair that was moving suddenly came to a stop, and the entire ghost wedding procession also stopped.

The ghost bride looked at Zheng Que and said calmly, "Qingrao Prefecture is just ahead."

"The prefectural magistrate in the city is now very wary of me."

"If I get too close, we will surely start another war."

"You'll have to walk the rest of the way on your own."

"During this time, I will be taking a stroll around the city."

"If anything happens, you can have Kulan come to me."
