Immortality and cultivation begin with drawing talismans.

Chapter 284 Golden! My Natal Magic Treasure [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

Earth Fire Cave.

Second-tier superior weapon refiner +999 (Grandmaster 1101/5000)

Lin Chang'an didn't care about improving his skills; all he could see right now was his natal magic weapon.

"It's finally done!"

As the formation slowly dimmed, the flames also vanished completely.

The fiery red cave instantly dimmed, with only the fire spirit stones on the walls shimmering.

The caves that were once part of the lava world now have incredibly hard surfaces.

This was caused by him consuming too much earth fire spiritual energy while refining his natal magic weapon, but it won't be long before this place is restored to its original state.

"Owner!"

As the barrier was removed, the Phoenix Bird hurriedly flew over, but upon seeing the thirty-six swords floating in the air...

Its pale golden bird eyes gleamed with anger; after all, this was all made from its own nest!
"From this day forward, I, Lin Chang'an, am also a Core Formation cultivator with my own natal magic weapon."

At this moment, Lin Chang'an, who was listless, revealed a hint of excitement. This blood sacrifice refining method was really too difficult.

The life force of the Xuan Tian Immortal Vine, the power of his self-healing body, his ample preparation, and his talent to maintain peak condition at all times.

If any one element is missing, failure is likely to follow.

After all, forging one item and forging a complete set are two different things.

But he finally succeeded!

"The Divine Sword that Pierces the Sun!"

As the flames subsided, under Lin Chang'an's expectant gaze, the thirty-six scorching red-hot Sun Piercing Divine Swords slowly cooled down.

However, of the thirty-five swords, only some of the inscriptions shimmered with a pale gold color, while the others, being black, exuded a strong demonic aura.

The last sword, after cooling down, had a golden sheen on its surface, with exquisite patterns shimmering on its blade.

It resembled an ancient sword with gold patterns.

However, Lin Chang'an could clearly sense that a pure demonic energy still lingered inside, constantly eroding his natal magic weapon.

"It's gold!"

However, upon seeing the golden light emanating from the sword's surface, Lin Chang'an revealed a look of shock.

Immediately, the record of the Fusang Divine Tree on the Xuan Tian Immortal Leaf came to mind.

"The Fusang Divine Tree is a legendary tree where the sun dwells. It contains heavenly fire, and after three thousand years, it can only release red flames."

Flames older than six thousand years will turn yellow, while flames older than ten thousand years will gradually turn incandescent white!

"At the same time, the Fusang Divine Tree itself will change color with the flames, and a ten-thousand-year-old Fusang Divine Tree should be blazing white."

"And this golden Fusang Divine Tree before us, that can only be described as the legendary essence of the sun!"

Upon realizing this, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but show a look of shock.

In other words, this sacred Fusang tree has existed for over ten thousand years.

"Can the Fusang Divine Tree, which is over ten thousand years old, really still exist in this cultivation world!?"

Even setting aside all external threats, this very essence of heaven and earth will incur divine resentment.

For example, when a spiritual root reaches the three-thousand-year stage and its color changes and breaks through, it will first have to endure the burning of the heavenly fire that is born after its evolution. Few spiritual roots can survive this.

Legend has it that there is a Golden Thunder Bamboo in the Bihai Palace. During its ten-thousand-year period, it not only had to endure the heavenly lightning it nurtured, but also attracted a heavenly tribulation.

Ultimately, it was reduced to ashes by the heavenly tribulation.

"This Fusang Divine Tree, corrupted by demonic energy, was discovered in the ancient cultivator's secret realm in the Cloud Mist Mountains. So what secrets lie deep within the Cloud Mist Mountains!"

Lin Chang'an's mind was buzzing for a moment, but then he gave a wry smile.

"So what if it's gold? This natal magic weapon is all show and no substance, but it's rotten inside."

It wouldn't be a problem if it weren't for the gold color, but it is gold anyway.

This made Lin Chang'an raise his hand and stroke the dazzling golden-patterned ancient sword in his palm, and he couldn't help but show a sense of helplessness.

"Corrupted by demonic energy, its spirituality has been greatly lost."

This is like a legendary immortal who has lost all his magical powers and supernatural abilities, but is still alive.

The main reason was that when I first saw this sacred tree, it was completely black and dark, without any vitality, and it even exuded a sense of decay.

Who would have thought that this was the golden Fusang Divine Tree?

It was during this process of refining his natal magic weapon that he was able to discover it; otherwise, he truly wouldn't have been able to.

"But there is still hope."

Finally, Lin Chang'an took a deep breath and shook off the greed in his heart.

If it were truly the golden color of its prime, even the legendary essence of the sun wouldn't be its turn.

Before he could even refine it, the moment he came into contact with the Fusang Divine Tree, he would probably be burned to ashes.

"The foundation is still there. As long as its spirituality is continuously restored, it will eventually be able to return to its peak state."

Thinking of this, Lin Chang'an nodded to himself.

The path to rebirth for an immortal who has lost all their magical power is much easier than that of a normal cultivator.

Right now, let alone the essence of the sun, there isn't even the lowest-level flame that has been born.

He still needs to purify the demonic energy, nurture the spirituality, and then start from scratch to regenerate the spiritual fire of the Fusang Divine Tree.

It's the same principle as nurturing a new sacred tree and waiting for it to blossom and bear fruit.

After figuring it out, Lin Chang'an took a deep breath and, with a wave of his hand, put all thirty-six flying swords into his body.

This feeling brought a sense of comfort to his face, as if a part of his body had returned.

"Owner!"

At this moment, the phoenix came over, its body shrank, and then it came up to him to massage his shoulders and fan him.

Then, to Lin Chang'an's astonishment, the phoenix bird actually spat out a storage bag from its mouth.

The next moment, a spirit pot, spirit tea, and spirit water stored in a jade bottle appeared.

She exhaled a wisp of flame, her tea-making technique executed flawlessly, and finally she approached him in a flattering manner.

"Master, look, my bird's nest is gone."

Despite the phoenix's aggrieved appearance, Lin Chang'an's gaze was drawn to the storage bag and the spirit tea, and he narrowed his eyes.

"This spirit tea seems to have been sent by Xuan Yin Pavilion, and this storage bag is from when we were undergoing our tribulation, as well as this spirit pot and spirit water..."

Under Lin Chang'an's gaze, the Phoenix Crying Bird showed no embarrassment whatsoever, staring directly into its golden eyes and saying:

“Master, I went there specifically to retrieve the spirit tea and spirit pot, and I found this storage bag…”

However, the phoenix, which had initially spoken with great confidence, became weaker and weaker under Lin Chang'an's ill-intentioned gaze.

"Owner!"

Seeing the phoenix bird preparing to feign ignorance, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but sneer.

What a cunning thief bird! He actually hid treasures behind his back.

Under the pained gaze of the Phoenix Bird, the storage bag fell into Lin Chang'an's hands.

A quick scan with his divine sense revealed that they were all treasures like spirit stones and spirit pearls.

This amounted to several thousand mid-grade spirit stones, all of which were shiny and bright, leaving Lin Chang'an speechless.

"So that's why you've been holed up in the bird's nest every day since you came here. Turns out you've been stealing from the bird's nest and spending your days cultivating with these things?"

Lin Chang'an shook his head at the sight. He had only ever heard that dragon-like monsters liked such shiny treasures. What were you, a bird, trying to prove you were a dragon for?

"okay."

Lin Chang'an shook his head and then returned the storage bag. He had previously discovered that the Phoenix Bird had secretly hoarded spirit stones.

He assumed the bird was secretly using spirit stones to cultivate, so he didn't pay much attention.

Who would have thought that this was also a bird that guards its wealth?

They hoarded the eggs and put them in the bird's nest to sleep, not daring to use a single one.

"Thank you, Master!"

After regaining its treasure, the phoenix couldn't help but show excitement, chirping excitedly. However, its heart was restless.

This storage bag was exposed! Luckily, I have another one. Oh no! I'll have to prepare a few more storage bags in the future.

Even rabbits have three burrows, so as a noble Golden Flame Divine Phoenix, it should have at least five, no! Six storage bags!
"Alright, here's your storage bag back. If you behave well in the future, I can give you more spirit stones, but you can't be lazy and you have to put in some effort."

With a malicious smile, Lin Chang'an told the bird to hold the spirit stones for now, so that he could use them whenever he needed them in the future.

"Contribution!?"

The phoenix looked puzzled, only to see Lin Chang'an flick his wrist, and instantly thirty-six sun-piercing divine swords appeared and surrounded him.

“Nourish this flying sword of mine with your true fire every day.”

"Master, you destroyed my bird's nest, and now you're holding onto the flying sword I forged from it, forcing me to continue nurturing it with true fire!"

The phoenix stared wide-eyed, full of grievance; it felt like it had been bullied too much.

"Who said I destroyed your bird's nest!?"

Lin Chang'an gave a cold snort, and the next moment, as he raised his hand, thirty-six flying swords intertwined in the air with a whooshing sound. To the astonishment of the Phoenix Bird, these thirty-six flying swords transformed once again into the Fusang Divine Tree in mid-air.

"How can it be!"

The phoenix stared wide-eyed, as if it couldn't believe it.

"Master, I saw with my own eyes that even the fire melted..."

However, when the Phoenix Bird flew to the Fusang Divine Tree, the feeling of landing on the real thing made it realize that all of this was real.

"How could you, an ignorant bird, possibly know the methods used to forge magical artifacts in ancient times?"

Under Lin Chang'an's indifferent gaze, what else could he have spent over twenty years refining with his essence and blood day and night?
Isn't this all for today?

Ordinary cultivators, after refining these divine trees into magical treasures, will also sever the life force of these divine trees and replace them with new magical treasures.

The original sacred tree is dead, and cultivators can only rely on their own cultivation to continuously grow stronger and nurture magical treasures.

This refining method is very simple, and the growth of magical artifacts depends entirely on the cultivators.

With his method of refining, the Fusang Divine Tree is still alive, and under suitable conditions, the magic weapon can be transformed into a divine tree again, relying on its own power to nourish and recover.

It can also be nurtured by cultivators.

"Master, rest assured, I will definitely nurture your flying sword well in the future."

Seeing its nest restored, the phoenix was oblivious to everything else and began to chirp excitedly.

Lin Chang'an couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. The Fusang Divine Tree had been greatly weakened by the demonic energy, and in order to speed up its recovery, it naturally needed to be nourished by various spiritual fires of heaven and earth.

The golden flames of the Golden Flame Divine Phoenix are a rare spiritual fire. Although the Phoenix Cry Bird is only at the third rank, this is the strongest spiritual fire he has been able to obtain so far.

"It's not just about restoring spirituality, but also purifying the demonic energy within the magical artifact!"

After taking out the magic weapon, Lin Chang'an was unusually secretly shocked.

These thirty-six natal magic treasures, due to the erosion of demonic energy, even tried to erode him within a short time after he absorbed them into his body.

If it weren't for the Mysterious Heavenly Vine, he probably would have really fallen into its trap.

"However, the sword that has regained its golden color is due to the purification over the years. The pure demonic energy inside the sword has been suppressed within it, and can now be absorbed into the body."

Over the years, he has been purifying demonic energy, which has been effective. However, as this material is purified, it leads to an energy imbalance.

The Fusang Divine Tree, which is inherently able to suppress demonic energy, clearly gained the upper hand and suppressed this portion of demonic energy.

It was also because the Fusang Divine Tree had lost its spiritual power and the Heavenly Fire was no longer present; otherwise, the moment the Heavenly Fire appeared, it would have been able to continuously erode this demonic energy.

"No rush, take your time. Besides, this purified demonic energy is an excellent material for body tempering."

As Lin Chang'an muttered to himself, a look of exhaustion appeared on his face.

Refining this natal magic weapon was too tiring.

"First, use your golden divine flames to nourish this section."

After leaving a message, Lin Chang'an left the cave, exhausted.

At this moment, a section of the thick trunk of the Fusang Divine Tree, which stands tall inside the cave, shimmers with golden light, connecting it to its roots.

Upon seeing this, the phoenix's eyes lit up even more.

This is a shimmering gold!
Without the slightest hesitation, it landed directly on the gold, greedily squinting its eyes and rubbing its feathers in enjoyment.

In its delight, the phoenix even burst into flames.

……

Lin Chang'an, however, returned to his cave and, unusually, emptied his mind of everything, sleeping soundly for almost half a month before waking up.

【Lifespan: 167/604】

[Realm Level: Early Golden Core Stage (31/100)]

"I never imagined that this seclusion to refine my natal magic weapon would take a full two years!"

After waking up, Lin Chang'an felt refreshed and his powerful self-healing body restored all his fatigue, including his mental fatigue.

He spent two years in seclusion refining his natal magic weapon, but in reality, he had been preparing for it since he formed his core.

It took more than 20 years to complete.

"However, even though the spiritual energy was greatly lost, this natal magic weapon still significantly increased our combat power."

Lin Chang'an raised his hand, and a golden light flew out from behind the cave.

"Master!" At the same time, a golden light followed behind, and it was the Phoenix Bird anxiously staring at its nest as it ran away again.

"okay."

Lin Chang'an shook his head with a smile, while the phoenix perched on his shoulder, its little eyes darting around, only to find that it was completely helpless.

Birds perched under eaves have no choice but to bow their heads, especially when this is their master's most prized possession.

The ancient sword in his hand was entirely golden, yet it did not appear ostentatious; instead, it possessed a restrained and ancient charm.

With a flick of his finger, a crisp metallic sound rang out, which pleased Lin Chang'an.

After a thousand years, the Fusang Divine Tree will become as hard as black iron and will be able to emit a metallic clanging sound.

"This toughness far surpasses that of ordinary third-tier magic weapons."

With a wave of his hand, a mid-grade third-tier sword-shaped magic weapon appeared in his palm. This was a gift from that remnant of the Divine Sword Sect.

He didn't seem to care at all about the magic weapon.

After all, the magical artifacts of the remnants of the Divine Sword Sect were not meant to be seen in the light of day, and he planned to reforge them once his skills improved.

Under Lin Chang'an's eager gaze,

The two magical weapons simply collided.

After the clash of blood and gold, the Sun Piercing Divine Sword remained undamaged, while another magical artifact emitted a rare mournful cry.

Although there was no injury, it was no longer at the same level. If I used my full strength, there would definitely be damage.

Lin Chang'an was shocked to see this, while the Phoenix Bird was heartbroken.

"Its toughness far surpasses that of other items of the same rank, but its sharpness is inferior, only reaching the upper-middle level of the third rank. After all, this magic weapon is not known for its sharpness."

With a flicker in his eyes, Lin Chang'an could naturally sense the situation within his natal magic weapon, which was one with him, and he was not disappointed.

The Sun-Piercing Divine Sword! As its name suggests, its strength lies in piercing, and after nurturing spiritual energy and giving birth to spiritual fire, it is truly remarkable.

This is the true Sun-Piercing Divine Sword; what we have now is merely a weakened version.

"Judging from the intensity of the magical artifact's aura, it can only be considered a mid-grade third-tier magical artifact."

At present, it can only be described as relatively hard and somewhat sharp, which is not uncommon in the cultivation world.

For example, adding special materials, such as Geng metal, when refining magical artifacts can increase their toughness and sharpness.

However, these materials are extremely precious and ordinary cultivators simply cannot afford them.

"How powerful would a penetrating attack be if it were delivered with full force!?"

As he thought of this, Lin Chang'an's eyes flickered.

He made a hand seal, and six magical shields appeared in front of him. Then he refined the magic treasure Water Spirit Pearl, adding another water-attribute shield.

"Shh!"

With a flick of his sword finger, a golden light flashed, instantly piercing through the five magical shields in front of him.

The sixth shield shattered, and the seventh water-attribute shield only paused briefly before collapsing instantly!
The next moment, the Sun-Piercing Divine Sword stopped instantly in front of him.

Upon seeing this, the phoenix's eyes gleamed even brighter!
Lin Chang'an's pupils contracted sharply, and the next moment his face lit up with wild joy.

Its penetrating damage is surprisingly comparable to that of magical artifacts like flying needles, and it has the remarkable effect of breaking through protective auras.

"Because of the special nature of my cultivation technique, the toughness of my magic shield far exceeds that of ordinary early-stage Core Formation cultivators, and is almost comparable to the defense of mid-stage Core Formation cultivators."

Furthermore, even with the added protection of this Water Spirit Orb defensive magic weapon, it still managed to pierce through my strongest attack with all my might in an instant!

In other words, even a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator would have to avoid his attack.

Unless you have a top-tier protective magic item.

Of course, the remnants of the Divine Sword Sect last time are not included. Due to severe injuries and depleted vitality, even if they used secret techniques, they could only temporarily recover their cultivation level and did not actually unleash the strength of a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator.

Otherwise, how could he have killed him so easily?

However, after his initial excitement, Lin Chang'an quickly calmed down.

"However, we cannot be careless. There are countless geniuses in the cultivation world, and the top sects and powerful forces also have powerful cultivation techniques and supernatural abilities. I am just in the remote Five Dragons Island sea area."

They were only comparing themselves to ordinary Core Formation cultivators; they had never seen such prodigies before.

In the fragmented memories of this Golden Core Peak True Person, there was a sense of dread and envy when facing such prodigies.

The cultivation world is vast, and the top-tier cultivation techniques and supernatural abilities he has heard of are by no means weak.

As he thought of this, Lin Chang'an's initial surge of ambition gradually dissipated, leaving only composure.

"It's time to come out of seclusion. Judging by the time, these juniors should be arriving soon."

Thinking of this, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but smile.
