Junior sister, I really need to control you

He took out a red-gold disc and twelve small command flags of slightly lighter color from his Qiankun bag.

"Is this a human array plate?" Chi Ling asked.

Li Yinsheng nodded, and then the array flags automatically disappeared into the array plate. He handed the array plate containing the array flags to Chiling.

"This formation is called the Heavenly Sun Returning Light Formation. I have tried using the True Fire of the Sun against the enemy. Although it is extremely powerful, it is difficult to control, resulting in a lot of waste and consumption. So I specially studied this formation."

"After the Heavenly Sun Returning Light Formation is activated, most of the true solar fire that dissipates during the battle will be recovered and used again in the battle, or it will be accumulated and unleashed when necessary, turning into a thunderous strike."

He paused, then added.

"This array plate was specially made for Miss Chiling. When facing an enemy, you only need to activate the array plate and spread out the array flags to automatically deploy the Heavenly Sun Returning Light Array."

“Miss Chiling is a weapon refiner. Even if she doesn’t have much knowledge of formations, she should be able to use this formation plate with ease. I don’t need to say more.”

Chiling paused for a moment, took the array plate, and nodded: "This is my first time using a human array, but it doesn't seem difficult."

……

Watching Li Yinsheng close the door and leave, Chi Ling leaned against the chaise lounge, holding the array plate in one hand and stroking it repeatedly with her fingertips in the other.

Su Sheng appeared from the side, her brows furrowed: "Something's not right. Is this really an array that someone at the Dharma Aspect Realm could set up?"

Chi Ling looked at Su Sheng with some doubt: "Although I don't know much about human formations, isn't this quite exquisite? Is there a problem?"

"This is a big problem; this formation is a bit too elaborate..."

Su Sheng's eyebrows almost knitted together: "This formation doesn't look like something a cultivator at the Dharma Aspect Realm would do. Is that kid a formation cultivator?"

"What?" Chi Ling was taken aback.

“This formation looks like it was created by some old monster who has been immersed in the art of formations for thousands of years…” Su Sheng said.

"Is it easy to use?" Chiling asked.

"It works very well. If it were a killing formation of the same level, even a peak demon king would be severely injured if he went in, and he would die inside if he was not careful."

Su Sheng said seriously, "However, this formation was tailor-made for you. In your hands, its power will only be greater than that of a killing formation."

Chiling paused for a moment, then gently pressed the array plate against her cheek, feeling a cool sensation.

“Yes, I like it very much,” she said, a smile playing on her lips, which she then suppressed. “Remember to thank him next time.”

"Ahem, I remember you said something like that before, what was it again? Oh!"

Su Sheng coughed lightly twice, mimicking Chi Ling's tone, and spoke calmly.

“I told you, I don’t need what he gives me, and even if he did, I wouldn’t care.”

Chi Ling's cheek, which was pressed against the array plate, stiffened for a moment, then she flicked her finger, and a golden flame flew towards Su Sheng.

"Oh dear, little Chiling, are you getting angry because you're embarrassed?!"

Su Sheng casually extinguished the golden flame and looked at Chi Ling.

Even though her face was buried in the soft cushions of the chaise lounge, you could still see that the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned.

A headache appeared on Su Sheng's face.

……

In Shengyuan City.

A streak of light flashed across the sky and landed in Li Yinsheng's residence in the blink of an eye.

Li Yinsheng shook off his cloak and nodded in satisfaction.

"Well done, the Rainbow Transformation Technique of the Golden Crow Clan is indeed far superior to the Meteor Escape Technique. It has such miraculous effects even after only the initial refinement."

He stroked his chin and muttered to himself.

"I wonder if Miss Chiling will like the Heavenly Sun Returning Light Array. I suppose it would be of some use to her."

However, his main reason for giving away the formation was that if a conflict were to occur in the future, or if war had to break out for some reason, the formation would not be of help to the enemy.

Of course, it's best if that day never comes.

After spending some time together, although he remained wary of the straightforward Golden Crow girl, he also developed a certain fondness for her.

If we can avoid fighting and maintain peace, that would be the best outcome.

Just as he was pondering this, the sound of a grand bell rang in his ears.

He then appeared on the white jade platform.

Li Yinsheng looked down at the golden characters on the white jade platform.

After arduous and extraordinary efforts, the Lord of the Grotto-Heaven has successfully refined his first quasi-magic weapon. This reward is 120 years of cultivation. Please cultivate and claim it yourself.

"Great job, junior sister!" His eyes lit up.

I just acquired this Heavenly Cloud Cloak, which I can use to nurture it during my seclusion.

But more importantly, if she can refine quasi-magic weapons, it means that her junior sister already has the ability to refine magic weapons.

After she emerges from this seclusion, she can begin preparing to refine the Mystic Crystal Mirror.

Once her cultivation level improves further and she begins her breakthrough to the True Person realm, she will immediately possess her own natal magic weapon.

Then the Mystic Crystal Mirror could devour the extra magical treasures in his hands, immediately elevating him to a considerable level.

Chapter 198 The Will to Cultivate, Advancing to the Spiritual Treasure

In the mansion of Shengyuan City.

Li Yinsheng slowly opened his eyes, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his gaze.

This period of seclusion, during which his cultivation improved by 120 years, is only considered moderately significant for him now.

However, the Three Elements True Technique, after being passed on to his junior sister, had already fallen to the point where it could barely maintain the seventh level.

Now he has broken through to the eighth level and has also gained some proficiency at that level.

Meanwhile, the Heavenly Cloud Cloak that Miss Chiling gave him has been completely refined and carefully nurtured by him.

This long period of nurturing also gave him a very deep understanding of the Heavenly Cloud Cloak.

To his surprise, the section of the Fusang Divine Tree branch that had transformed into threads within the Heavenly Cloud Cloak still retained a trace of life.

As he slowly nurtured it with the essence of withering and flourishing, the tender branches of the Fusang Divine Tree were further enhanced, which surprisingly gave the Heavenly Cloud Cloak an even greater effect in amplifying the True Fire of the Sun.

Although the increase is not significant at present, the effect should become more and more obvious as he continues to cultivate.

Unfortunately, this tender branch of the Fusang Divine Tree has already become part of the Heavenly Cloud Cloak, a magical treasure. No matter how much it is nurtured, it can only enhance its power, but it cannot be reborn.

Otherwise, Li Yinsheng would very much like to try out the miraculous effect of the withering and flourishing spiritual energy transforming spiritual plants on this tender branch of the Fusang Divine Tree.

After reaching the realm of three withering and three flourishing, the spiritual essence of withering and flourishing can enlighten spiritual plants, transforming them into loyal subordinates.

In fact, powerful cultivators who reach his level, even those who are independent cultivators, will more or less have some attendants or puppets with a certain degree of intelligence to take care of their trivial matters.

Compared to developing Xuanzhen Temple by recruiting disciples and followers, it is more convenient to cultivate spiritual plants as subordinates.

He hadn't tried it before, partly because the essence of withered and flourishing spirits was used to refine longevity pills in exchange for five elemental spiritual herbs, and there wasn't enough of it to begin with.

Secondly, it's difficult to find enough promising spiritual plants, and it's not worthwhile to cultivate just any random one.

But once the essence of withering and flourishing was no longer scarce, he naturally began to think about the matter of enlightening spiritual plants.

His mind started to wander, especially after encountering the branches of the Fusang Divine Tree.

Looking across the entire Ten Thousand Mountains, in terms of potential, there are probably few spiritual plants that can compare with the Fusang Divine Tree of the Golden Crow Demon Court.

Even if it's just a single branch, investing the essence of life and death into it will definitely not be a loss.

"By the way, this Sky Cloud Cloak was newly crafted by Miss Chi Ling..."

Li Yinsheng stroked his chin and muttered to himself, "Then maybe she has more than one hibiscus branch in her hand?"

"Hmm! Very likely! Next time we meet, I'll ask her if she has any branches of the Fusang Divine Tree that she can exchange for me..."

Having made up his mind, Li Yinsheng walked to Mu Xiaoyu's weapon-refining room and pushed the door open to enter.

"Senior brother!"

Mu Xiaoyu turned her head, her face full of excitement, and ran towards Li Yinsheng, brandishing a copper hammer that was nearly two feet long and about the size of a watermelon.

"Senior brother, look! I've successfully crafted a near-magic weapon!"

Seeing his junior sister running towards him wielding a copper hammer, Li Yinsheng subconsciously paused for a moment.

After all, he had just given his junior sister the Five Qi Pill two days ago, so he was still a little guilty.

"Look, Senior Brother, it's a true magic weapon!" Mu Xiaoyu said proudly.

Although it is still the least technically sophisticated hammer-shaped magic weapon, it is indeed a genuine magic weapon, and no one can find any fault with it.

"Well done, junior sister," Li Yinsheng patted Mu Xiaoyu's head and said with a smile, "What reward do you want?"

Upon hearing the word "reward," Mu Xiaoyu's hair stood on end. She jumped back and moved three zhang away from Li Yinsheng, looking at him warily with puffed-out cheeks.

"I don't want a reward! My senior brother gave me a 'reward' the other day, and now even water tastes spicy! I haven't eaten anything good for two days and two nights!"

Mu Xiaoyu opened her small mouth, revealing two tiger teeth, and said warily, "The best reward is that Senior Brother doesn't give me one!"

Li Yinsheng looked completely innocent.

Unfortunately, I was planning to pass on some more of the Three Primal Qi to my junior sister.

It seems best to wait until next time. Anyway, as long as it's before the selection of the Holy Maiden, there's no difference between transferring the power in several sessions or all at once.

Stroking his chin, Li Yinsheng smiled and said, "But since Junior Sister is already able to refine quasi-magic weapons, we can now consider refining the Mystic Crystal Mirror."

“The Mystic Crystal Mirror is a special case. Although it is a magic weapon, it does not have any spirituality and does not require one to reach the True Person realm to use it.”

"Moreover, this thing comes from the ancient cultivation tradition, and in the ancient cultivation system, there is no such realm as True Person at all."

Li Yinsheng casually waved his hand and took out five magical treasures.

A weapon that resembles neither a knife nor a sword, a small silver bell, a copper brick, a lifelike centipede puppet that is two feet long, and a round, pale purple pearl.

Although these magical treasures lay quietly on the table, each one radiated a precious light and was quite extraordinary, all generously contributed by several patriarchs of the Shen family.

"After Junior Sister refines the Mystic Crystal Mirror, she should be able to directly recognize it as her master. Then, by absorbing some of the extra magic treasures in my possession, it should soon become a rather powerful magic treasure."

Mu Xiaoyu's eyes lit up.
