Wizards in the world of cultivation

Chapter 20 Zhar's Black Crow

Su You thought for a moment and decided to go and investigate first. If this group of powerful dragon apes was still in the Changqi Mountains, then he would need to make proper preparations.

After all, capturing a second-tier demon ape alive from a third-tier demon is extremely difficult.

Let alone capturing them alive, even killing one of them and bringing it out would be extremely difficult.

Su You didn't carry any items with him. He left his storage bag with his twin clones and then went there empty-handed.

Anyway, this time he was going to gather intelligence. If the other party was still there, he would also go and test them, and he would inevitably die.

……

Changqi Mountains.

In the lush green forest, a figure darted swiftly by.

"The intelligence indicates that the Mighty Dragon Ape clan is nearby." Su You dodged one monster after another and ventured deeper into the area, finally arriving at the location mentioned in the intelligence.

“Here…” Su You suddenly stopped.

What used to be a small hill has now turned into a pile of rubble, with countless trees lying on the ground below.

"Am I too late?" Su You leaped up quickly and landed on a boulder.

Judging from the surrounding terrain, it was clear that a very fierce battle had taken place, with a small hill being completely shattered by the fighting.

This small hill was originally the place where those powerful dragon apes lived, according to the intelligence.

"Did the Mighty Ape win or lose?" Su You carefully examined the remaining traces around him.

If they lose, the entire tribe will surely be hunted down, but if they win, the other side might take their tribe away.

Compared to the other locations provided in the intelligence, Su You felt this was the most promising.

However, if all the powerful dragon apes here have been wiped out, then we can only go and check out the other locations.

In this area, Su You saw many huge fist imprints, all created by the Mighty Dragon Ape using its own power.

This demonstrates just how ferocious the opponent's power is.

"This is……"

Reaching a grove of trees at the edge of the mountain, Su You saw a huge footprint, and around it, there were countless other footprints.

This indicates that the Mighty Dragon Ape ultimately killed its enemies and then left with its clan.

Following in the footsteps of the other party, Su You tracked them down.

However, despite being extremely careful to conceal his aura throughout the journey, he still encountered an overwhelming force—a third-tier great demon.

It arrived before him with lightning speed, and Su You didn't even have time to put up much resistance before being swallowed whole.

……

The Void Heaven Immortal City, a third-tier cave dwelling.

Su You was revived only after his twin clones absorbed enough spiritual energy.

"The resurrection speed is getting slower and slower." Su You shook his head helplessly.

Indeed, as his cultivation level continues to improve, the spiritual energy required for resurrection will increase, and the resurrection speed will naturally become slower and slower.

However, the thought of his near-death experience left Su You with some psychological trauma. After all, no one would feel good being swallowed whole by a demonic beast.

Fortunately, the trip yielded some results. Although they ultimately failed to find the whereabouts of the Mighty Dragon Ape, some clues still remained.

However, the third-tier demon blocking the way is indeed a problem. If we can't avoid it, it will be difficult to continue the search.

"We'll have to use some new methods to avoid being detected by the monsters now," Su You thought with a sense of helplessness.

The previous methods gradually lost their effectiveness as the enemies became stronger, especially when facing monsters with special talents, making it even more difficult to hide.

"We've gathered almost all the materials needed to craft the magical artifact; now it's time to finish crafting it."

While he was exploring outside, his twin clones weren't idle either. Instead, they wandered around various shops buying materials. In order to refine magical artifacts, he sold the Foundation Establishment Pills he had bought earlier at a loss.

Su You really doesn't have time to hunt demonic beasts right now. Since the Foundation Establishment Pill is useless anyway, he might as well sell it. Although he lost thousands of spirit stones, it also made his wealth increase again.

In a dark iron groove, Su You quickly threw in portions of materials and then stirred them rapidly.

It's hard to say whether witchcraft or magic weapons are more powerful, but in terms of strangeness and peculiarity, witchcraft is superior.

Moreover, the two methods of refining are completely different.

Su You is currently crafting a transformation artifact, Zhal's Black Crow, which allows the user to transform into a crow.

Bitter-scaled grass, black-tailed raven feathers, lizard's magic skin...

Some of the materials used to forge magical artifacts are exactly the same as those in the wizarding world. However, some materials, such as those from certain magical beasts, are impossible to find in the cultivation world. Therefore, Su You had to find materials from monsters of the same species to substitute for them.

Su You wasn't sure if he could successfully refine it in the end.

With the addition of the last material, the potion for drawing magic runes has been prepared. All that's left is to draw it on the monster hide, and it will be finished.

However, whether the magical artifacts crafted in this way will still be effective can only be determined by trying them out personally.

Holding a top-grade first-tier talisman brush, Su You quickly drew the magic patterns from his inherited memories on the beast hide.

With the final rune completed, the entire process of crafting a magical artifact is finished.

Now, all that's needed is to channel mental energy to determine whether this magical artifact can be used.

Su You grabbed the very rough-looking witch artifact, its magical runes crooked and messy.

If it weren't for the deeply ingrained memories passed down in his mind, it would have been impossible for him to completely inscribe the magic runes on a magical artifact.

With the infusion of spiritual power, a loud 'bang' was heard, and Su You vanished in an instant, leaving only a pitch-black crow on the ground.

"Did it succeed?" Su You felt as if the whole world had grown larger, and everything around him had become enormous.

It's not that these things get bigger, but rather that his body gets smaller, so visually these things appear to be bigger.

Su You swayed from side to side, using its two claws to steady itself, and then vigorously flapped its wings.

In an instant, his entire body was lifted up.

Su You suddenly spread his wings and quickly left his room, flying happily in his cave.

The feeling of flying is indeed quite different from flying on a sword.
