Ordinary People: Starting with the Chen Clan

The runes that were originally hidden became visible one by one as they were soaked in the surrounding blood.

Black runes flashed, and the surrounding blood slowly disappeared as if being absorbed into them.

The black runes that were originally made of silkworm silk inside have now begun to turn blood red.

However, Chen Xuanzhou did not pay much attention to these things. He quickly retrieved the jade bottle in mid-air back into the incense burner.

He did not stop there; he took out his own sword box and magic weapon and incorporated the remaining spiritual bones of the spirit toad into the flying sword.

This process is much simpler, and Chen Xuanzhou doesn't even need to pay much attention to it; the Hundred Refinement Cauldron can complete most of it on its own.

Only after using more than thirty pieces of Bloodline Flood Dragon scales as the main material to forge three sets of half-body armor did Chen Xuanzhou finally stop wasting the spiritual materials on his body.

Having crafted so many top-tier magical artifacts, Chen Xuanzhou was now completely familiar with the Hundred Refinement Cauldron.

After three days of meditation and rest, he began to formally prepare to refine the Earth Mother Pearl.

Chen Xuanzhou first threw the Five Elements Soft Jade into the Hundred Refinement Cauldron, but then he did not rush to do anything.

The main body and the clone sat quietly to the side, watching as if the refining of the Earth Mother Pearl depended entirely on the Hundred Refinement Cauldron.

Time passed slowly, and two days flew by. During this time, Chen Xuanzhou truly did not make a single move.

The five-colored spirit jade inside the furnace has now transformed into a five-colored bead the size of a longan, and has not changed beyond that.

About half a day later, when the spiritual pearl formed from the Five Elements Soft Jade became increasingly pure and uniform in color.

Chen Xuanzhou's eyes shone brightly as he meticulously scanned every inch of the spirit pearl's glaze.

Not only that, the divine sense within the sea of ​​consciousness spared no effort, surging towards every part of the spiritual pearl, leaving no possible gap or crack unchecked.

Fortunately, having been nurtured for so long, and having been refined from the Five Elements Soft Jade within the Hundred Refinement Cauldron, it was the perfect and appropriate material for tempering this spiritual material.

Even if he were to use his full strength, he might not be able to achieve the same level of refinement as the Hundred Refinement Cauldron.

However, the next steps will require real skill!

Chen Xuanzhou took out the Condensed Vein Soil, which was as black as earth. This time, instead of gathering the flames, it dispersed some of the flames around the Hundred Refinement Cauldron.

Then, he directly inserted the five-colored spirit pearl into the Condensing Vein Soil, and the clone beside him immediately poured all his magical power into it without holding back a single bit.

The originally dark soil, under the infusion of spiritual energy, became so dark and shiny that it looked as if it were about to drip water. Moreover, the black soil, which was originally only the size of two fists, is now slowly expanding.

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, most of the magical power in the clone's body was absorbed, forcing it to take out pills and spirit crystals to begin its recovery.

Seeing this, Chen Xuanzhou immediately stepped in, and the two worked together seamlessly for three hours.

During this process, various earth-attribute spiritual materials were added, and the clump of black soil grew to be three feet square.

When Chen Xuanzhou focused his gaze on the last item, the Earth Essence, his expression became unusually solemn.

Success or failure hinges on this one step!

Chen Xuanzhou showed no mercy, instead decisively throwing all the essence of the Earth element into the furnace.

On the other side, the Hundred Refinement Cauldron seemed to be ready all along, and the surrounding flames instantly gathered in the cauldron to form a small cauldron about a foot in size.

It directly absorbed all the essence of the Earth element, and strands of orange and white light emerged from between Chen Xuanzhou's eyebrows.

These filaments, though thin, are like blades of light, each time they slice through the essence of the Earth element, they leave an indelible mark.

In just a moment, the entire piece of Wutu essence transformed into a stone lotus.

Moreover, the stone lotus has shrunk by two-thirds without anyone noticing, and it looks like a single piece without any carving.

"fall!"

With a low shout, the stone lotus suddenly disappeared, and the large lump of black mud beneath it suddenly began to shrink back.

At this moment, Chen Xuanzhou's eyes were slightly closed, and his consciousness was in harmony with it.

Chen Xuanzhou's main body was connected to the stone lotus. At this moment, the stone lotus had grown long tendrils that pierced through the outer shell of the five-colored bead and burrowed into the condensed vein soil.

Under the absorption of the stone lotus, the Condensed Earth shrank to the size of an adult's head in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Moreover, under the shaping of the clone's divine consciousness, its shape transformed into a miniature mountain in the shape of an octagon.

It resembles a three-dimensional Bagua compass.

The Qian position: It consists of three small white hills piled up in a triangular shape. At the core of the pile, there is a point of intense red hidden within.

The Kun position represents a vast loess plateau, characterized by its crisscrossing gullies and profound significance, capable of bearing the weight of all things.

Zhen position: The entire land was as if it had been split open by a thunderbolt, with cracks crisscrossing, the land scorched black as ink, and in its unfathomable depths, there were flashes of gold and silver lightning.

The Xun position: It is a continuous stretch of green hills, where the wind passes silently, yet carries the gentle vitality that nurtures all things.

Kan position: At first glance, it is just a black pool, but after a long time of gazing at it, a chill that freezes the soul cannot be erased.

The location is: a continuous volcanic field, with endless black smoke billowing from the churning lava, giving the entire compass a smoky, fiery atmosphere.

The Gen position: a rugged, towering cliff, with a precipitous terrain and an unyielding stability.

The Dui position represents a shimmering, marshy land overgrown with aquatic plants, yet concealing swamps and eddies.

Even at this point, Chen Xuanzhou had not yet extinguished the furnace fire within the Hundred Refinement Cauldron, nor had he made any other moves.

He simply sat quietly to the side, meditating and regulating his breathing.

After an unknown amount of time, the sun gradually rose outside, and in the incense burner in Chen Xuanzhou's sea of ​​consciousness, wisps of incense smoke appeared out of thin air.

Almost simultaneously, Chen Xuanzhou immediately drew out the incense sticks.

He then slammed his fist on his chest, and with a "poof," a mouthful of blood gushed out.

As soon as the blood mist flew a foot away, it transformed into streaks of blood talismans, and the incense sticks immediately clung to the talismans like thin snakes.

At first glance, the two seem to blend together, but upon closer inspection, they are actually quite distinct.

In an instant, the blood talisman shot into the Bagua Spirit Mountain.

With the blessing of incense, the restrictions formed by the blood talisman felt to Chen Xuanzhou like extensions of his own arms.

The Bagua Spirit Mountain is like a group of undressed, unguarded men, waiting and welcoming the in-depth exchange between the Five-Colored Spirit Pearl and the Stone Lotus.

The spirit pearl and the stone lotus did not disappoint it either. First, the five-colored spirit patterns on the five-colored stone pearl spread down from where the two met.

In the blink of an eye, the area where the Bagua Mountains merged was once again tinged with a layer of five-colored spiritual light.

The spiritual tendrils that the stone lotus transformed into were not much slower; the spiritual tendrils that were already rooted in it immediately became intertwined.

The scattered spiritual tendrils quickly transformed into sections of stone lotus roots, evenly distributed among the eight spiritual mountains.
