Immortality and cultivation begin with drawing talismans.

Chapter 344 Ancient Treasure: Four Symbols Dragon Scale Armor

Tianquan Peak.

Since returning to Tianquan Peak half a year ago, Lin Chang'an has not been in a hurry to go into seclusion to refine magic weapons. Instead, he has participated in two trade fairs in the market.

He exchanged the demon core of the Yin Spirit Beast King for resources, appearing as if he had just returned from the Tongtian Mist Sea, perfectly clearing himself of suspicion.

As Lin Chang'an watched the peach blossoms bloom again, he felt a little dazed. He wondered how the person who had been under the peach blossoms last year was doing now.

"Owner."

Just then, a flash of light appeared, and the sword attendant appeared behind Tianquan Peak to respectfully report.

"This is recent intelligence from the outer seas."

Looking at the jade slip handed to him by the sword attendant, Lin Chang'an studied it for a moment, and the strange look on his face grew more and more intense.

"It seems that last time I did help this Fellow Daoist Huang make a name for himself. Now the reputation of the number one person below the Nascent Soul stage has truly spread far and wide."

Besides the turmoil in various sea areas outside the mainland, the most famous person mentioned in this jade slip is Huang Tianxiao.

Since gaining fame for hunting down the Thunder Dragon in the outer sea, his reputation as the number one person below the Nascent Soul stage has spread like wildfire.

He even felt that many forces were behind this, not just the Azure Sea Palace.

Among Golden Core cultivators, probably very few desire this empty title.

There are even quite a few powerful Core Formation cultivators who secretly resent or sneer at Huang Tianxiao, but openly they will actually help him.

As a result, in just half a year, his reputation as the number one person below the Nascent Soul stage resounded throughout the Demon Beast Abyss.

"I imagine this Fellow Daoist Huang will be overjoyed, after all, the Demon Beast Sea Abyss hasn't seen such a talented person in a long time."

At this moment, Lin Chang'an's face revealed a gloating smile.

He dared to say that Huang Tianxiao was currently suffering in silence.

You say it wasn't you, but do people outside believe you?

Especially the similar soul-capturing divine power from back then, this kind of soul attack could affect dozens of Foundation Establishment cultivators, and that cannot be faked.

“Master, I heard that after we left, there were signs of other third-tier demonic beasts on the island, but they disappeared without a trace.”

Just then, the sword attendant respectfully reported the matter again, and Lin Chang'an's smile widened even more.

If it is a blood relative of this thunder dragon, then this is even more interesting.

At this moment, he was somewhat hopeful that the dragon that was about to transform could successfully break through to the fourth rank, which would definitely cause a lot of trouble for the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect.

The more Xuan Yin Old Demon is restrained, the safer Yun Yao will be.

As for who exactly did it, Huang Tianxiao could never suspect him no matter what.

All traces of the battle on the island were destroyed, but the traces he left behind showed many of the techniques used by the cultivators of the Li Huo Palace.

Moreover, neither his late-stage Golden Core strength nor his mastery of soul attacks are the strengths he has revealed to the outside world.

At this moment, Huang Tianxiao, and even Xuan Yin Lao Mo, probably suspected that his old rivals, or the work of Bi Hai Palace, were involved.

In high spirits, Lin Chang'an leisurely savored this year's spirit tea.

【Lifespan: 213/785】

[Realm Level: Mid-Golden Core (22/100)]

With his cultivation progressing steadily, the spirit wine brewed with a third-grade high-quality demon core will be ready soon, and his cultivation will advance another level faster.

"This is a dragon clan technique obtained from that thunder dragon. You can take a look at it in your spare time, but it is not suitable for you."

Lin Chang'an handed a bundle of sorted jade slips to the sword attendant, who, upon receiving them, respectfully cupped his hands and said:

"Thank you, Master."

He also took a look at the dragon clan's heritage recorded on this jade slip, and found that the demon clan's cultivation methods were very different from those of the human clan.

Even a mixed-blood sword servant is not suited to practicing the dragon race's techniques.

However, because of the dragon bloodline within him, he might be able to learn some of the unique supernatural abilities of the dragon race.

In particular, this thunder dragon is of the thunder attribute, and the sword servant has also awakened the thunder attribute supernatural power.

Thinking back to the power of that Water Divine Thunder, Lin Chang'an still feels a chill run down his spine.

If it weren't for the Thunder Absorbing Pearl, he would have been seriously injured, if not killed.

However, upon seeing the sword attendant, Lin Chang'an pondered for a moment. Although he didn't know much about human-demon hybrids, he still had a certain perspective from his years of observation.

"Supernatural powers are important, but your current cultivation level is everything. Only by improving your cultivation level will you be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort when cultivating supernatural powers."

Ultimately, the sword servant is still too weak. The conditions for cultivating the dragon race's supernatural powers are extremely demanding, making it extremely difficult for the sword servant with his current level of cultivation.

"Master, don't worry."

The sword servant rarely showed a smile when facing his caring master.

Upon seeing this, Lin Chang'an smiled and shook his head, but there were some merits to be found in the Dragon Clan's heritage.

However, the last harvest was enormous. Not only did he obtain the dragon essence material to repair the ancient treasure Four Symbols Dragon Scale Armor, but he also obtained the materials for his sword servant to refine his natal magic weapon.

The gift from this thunder dragon far exceeded what he had initially prepared; it consisted entirely of top-grade materials.

"Ling'er, these few bottles of pills will replenish your qi and blood. Once I emerge from seclusion, I will begin refining your natal magic weapon."

"Yes, Master!"

Upon hearing that he was to have a natal magic weapon crafted for him, the sword servant immediately showed a determined expression.

Her natal magic weapon is extraordinary and requires careful preparation; otherwise, she may suffer severe damage to her vital energy and even drop in her cultivation level.

Tianquan Peak then went into seclusion, a situation that all cultivators had become accustomed to.

Only those Core Formation cultivators who have exhausted their potential or lack resources will indulge in pleasure or risk going out to the open sea to hunt monsters.

……

Earth Fire Cave.

"We reaped quite a lot last time."

Inside the cave, filled with the heat, Lin Chang'an retrieved all the spoils from his previous hunt of the Thunder Dragon.

A crystal-clear dragon skeleton, already decomposed, appeared inside the cave, measuring over twenty zhang in length.

The demon core of the late third-tier demon, the dense dark purple dragon scales, the sharp dragon claws, the resilient dragon tendons, as well as the collected essence blood and flesh, were sealed away.

"These flesh and blood are not only top-grade materials for refining pills, but also spiritual objects that replenish qi and blood and strengthen cultivation."

It can be said that every part of a dragon's body is made of top-quality materials.

Even longan can be used as a material for crafting magical artifacts.

That's why it's said that among monsters of the same rank, those with dragon blood are the most valuable, and the more concentrated the bloodline, the more valuable they are.

"Especially this Thunder Dragon's spatial pouch, which is a unique storage pouch of demonic beasts, is extremely tough and is hidden inside its body."

As Lin Chang'an inventoried them, he was amazed by the fact that the dragon bloodline possessed a vast collection of treasures, many of which he had never seen before.

Most of them are spiritual creatures from the deep sea.

"Rare flowers and herbs, spirit ore, spirit stones, and the storage bags of more than a dozen Core Formation cultivators—this is quite a haul."

In other words, before he killed this thunder dragon, it had already devoured more than a dozen Core Formation cultivators.

The flesh and blood of demonic beasts are highly nourishing for human cultivators, and the same applies to human cultivators for demonic beasts. However, relatively speaking, human cultivators are physically weaker, making their golden cores more valuable.

"It's still faster to make money by killing and setting fires."

He had gone to Haiyuan City and was almost out of spirit stones, but after hunting a thunder dragon, he became rich overnight.

Looking at the numerous resources, especially many of the damaged magical artifacts, Lin Chang'an was filled with emotion, but his eyes remained extremely calm.

His experiences over the years, and the mental training he has undergone, will ensure that he will never easily let desire override reason.

While the path of cultivation through tribulation is lucrative, the risks are too great.

Wealth and honor are found in danger, but also lost in danger.

He not only understood this principle, but he had also witnessed too many such things firsthand.

"Owner!"

The phoenix nestled on the Fusang Divine Tree had long yearned for the thunder dragon's wealth.

However, after reading it, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but laugh and scold:

"You greedy bird, all of these are useful, but considering how hard you worked before, I will personally craft a magic-grade bird nest for you."

Upon hearing this, the phoenix nodded excitedly, while Lin Chang'an smiled as he sorted through his gains and then took out the dull and lifeless spirit armor.

"Next, we'll follow the crafting method of this ancient treasure and use these low-grade materials to repair it."

At this moment, Lin Chang'an looked at the jade slip that Yun Yao had given him, frowned, and then sighed.

According to the information on the jade slip, he would only be able to collect it after becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Now I can only retire and do the next best thing.

"Next, let me see what kind of splendor this legendary ancient treasure possesses."

After confirming the refining method again, Lin Chang'an took a deep breath and slowly took out the prepared materials one by one.

If this ancient treasure is successfully restored, even if only partially restored, it will become his strongest defensive treasure.

It also concerns his safety within the first secret realm of the Demon Beast Sea Abyss.

"Begin the refining!"

With a solemn expression on Lin Chang'an's face, the ancient treasure, the Four Symbols Dragon Scale Armor, landed in front of the array platform, and the earth fire and his true fire began to burn.

Because there's a foundation, the restoration isn't too difficult.

Otherwise, even the basic materials of this ancient treasure would be beyond what he could collect.

……

Time passed, and three months later.

At this moment, the armor in the sea of ​​fire has begun to show its spiritual light, and now it has reached the most crucial step.

The sealed jade bottle has been opened, but a calming talisman is still attached to the illusory spirit of the thunder dragon.

Although the thunder dragon was unable to move, the curses emanating from its soul continued unabated.

Especially after seeing this scene, it knew it was doomed and that begging this despicable human would not save it.

"You despicable human, just you wait! I curse you to a horrible death!"

"You lowly human! How dare you refine me into a magical artifact! One day you will face the wrath of the dragon race... Ah!"

Damn humans, you bastards! Ah... give me a quick death..."

The moment the essence fell onto the red-hot armor, the Thunder Dragon's essence let out a painful howl.

This was only because it was protected by the surrounding array of spiritual light; otherwise, Lin Chang'an's true fire and earth fire would have been enough to destroy this spirit.

"Go ahead and curse, because you'll never have the chance to curse again!"

Lin Chang'an remained calm, showing no sign of anger whatsoever.

Not only did they bestow all their wealth upon him, but they even offered their essence to him to repair ancient treasures. What's wrong with scolding him a couple of times?
"Humans! I am not reconciled..."

Amidst his unwilling and painful roars, Lin Chang'an continued to pinch the magic seal. Finally, the armor shimmered with spiritual light and slowly fused with the spirit of the beast.

The next moment, the armor suddenly emitted the unique spiritual light of a magic weapon, which made Lin Chang'an overjoyed.

"It's finally done!"

As the flames subsided, the pale golden Four Symbols Dragon Scale Armor slowly floated in the air, its body shimmering with spiritual light.

It's no longer as dull and lifeless as it used to be.

Overjoyed, Lin Chang'an raised his hand and a divine sword piercing the sun appeared in his palm.

The next moment, the flying sword struck, and a light golden defensive shield appeared around the Four Symbols Dragon Scale Armor.

The ear-piercing collision echoed, and the defensive shield only rippled twice, which made Lin Chang'an's eyes light up.

He then increased his magical power, and a giant sword pierced through, while the golden defensive shield in front of the Four Symbols Dragon Scale Armor emitted a piercing sound.

Upon seeing that the magical defense shield, though dimmed somewhat, was still intact, Lin Chang'an was overjoyed.

"No wonder it's a legendary ancient treasure!"

Overjoyed, Lin Chang'an waved his hand and directly took the Piercing Sun Divine Sword. Then, looking at the Four Symbols Dragon Scale Armor that floated in front of him, he couldn't help but show a satisfied expression.

"With only initial repairs, its defensive capabilities are already comparable to a top-grade third-tier defensive magic weapon. If we were to gather the power of the four elements at the third tier, the defensive capabilities of this ancient treasure would increase even further."

Even if it cannot compare with the magic treasures of Nascent Soul cultivators, it will still be considered a top-tier magic treasure among those at the third stage of Core Formation.

A late-stage, third-tier Thunder Dragon essence wouldn't have that much power; the main reason is that the armor itself wasn't broken.

"The material used for this type of armor is almost extinct in the cultivation world. It would be extremely difficult to forge a second set."

Stroking the armor, Lin Chang'an sighed inwardly, wondering what the world of cultivation in ancient times must have been like.

Then, a flash of inspiration struck him, and the armor was on his body.

The fine, golden scales clung tightly to the body, and the shoulder guards and breastplate were adorned with unknown animal patterns.

This treasure can release golden light and form a defensive magical shield with a thought. If the power of the four elements is gathered together...

According to the records on the jade slip, this ancient treasure possesses the power of the Four Symbols, which is inexhaustible and automatically absorbs the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and will automatically protect its owner in times of crisis.

"With this magic weapon, I am now a master of both offense and defense, and I will no longer be as timid as before."

At this moment, Lin Chang'an looked satisfied. If he could gather the power of the four symbols again and fight Lei Jiao, he was confident that he could hold his own against Lei Jiao without being at a disadvantage.

With this set of armor, Lin Chang'an felt much safer.

"Next are these dragon scales and dragon bones; they're enough to forge several sets of excellent inner armor."

At this moment, Lin Chang'an's gaze fell once again on the neatly arranged dragon scales.

These are all excellent resources.

However, this time Lin Chang'an took a deep breath and directly created three clones to refine magic weapons.

Next, he had an even more important task to do: to assist the sword servant in extracting spiritual bone and blood essence so that he could refine a natal magic weapon that best suited his own bloodline.
