I'm in Yellow Maple Valley, and I have one equipment slot!

One month later.

Zhou Yuan appeared in the cave on Biling Island.

The white light from the teleportation array had just faded when he heard a series of light footsteps.

Yuan Yao, Yan Li, Zi Ling, and their disciple Ouyang Qing, all with smiles on their faces, quickly came forward to greet them.

"Brother Zhou, you're finally back!"

Yuan Yao wore a moon-white long dress, her black hair cascading down her back, and a playful smile on her face.

"I have something really good for you, I guarantee you'll be amazed!"

"What good stuff?" Zhou Yuan asked with a smile, his gaze lingering on her face for a moment.

In fact, he already had a guess in his heart.

On this Biling Island, the most likely "surprise" is the legendary top-grade spirit stone.

Sure enough, Yuan Yao took out a fist-sized spirit stone from her storage bag and held it in her palm.

The spirit stone was entirely emerald green, crystal clear, and emitted a soft yet rich spiritual light.

Within the radiant light, wisps of green mist swirled, seemingly containing boundless vitality.

Unlike ordinary high-grade spirit stones, the appearance of this item seemed to increase the concentration of spiritual energy in the entire cave.

"Top-grade spirit stone!"

A glint of light flashed in Zhou Yuan's eyes.

He took the spirit stone and examined it carefully.

It feels warm and smooth to the touch, and its spiritual energy is restrained yet powerful, far surpassing that of high-grade spirit stones.

This kind of thing has almost disappeared in the human world, and it is extremely rare even in the spirit world.

It's extremely useful for overcoming bottlenecks!

"It really is good stuff."

Zhou Yuan smiled and put the spirit stone into his pocket.

The original text only mentions that a top-grade spirit stone was mined from the spirit stone mine on Biling Island, but he wondered what if there was a second one?

Perhaps this high-grade spirit stone mine will bring him even more surprises in the future.

Several girls surrounded him, chattering away.

Yanli took his arm, Ziling stood aside with a smile and said nothing, while Ouyang Qing obediently brought over some spiritual tea.

Zhou Yuan spent a few days with them, gave them some pointers on cultivation, and then went into the meditation room.

……

Another month has passed.

The stone door to the quiet room opened, and Zhou Yuan walked out.

Without disturbing the women, he went alone to the top of the mountain outside the cave.

The massive mountain was shrouded in layers of array formations and restrictions, making it appear completely normal from the outside. Zhou Yuan stood atop the peak, gazing up at the azure sky, and took a deep breath.

Then, with a thought, he summoned thirty-six golden flying swords!

These flying swords were all infused with Geng essence, and their originally emerald green blades now gleamed with a faint golden luster, their sharpness far surpassing what they had been before.

They hovered in front of Zhou Yuan like thirty-six golden streaks of light, their tips pointing downwards, slowly rotating and emitting a soft humming sound.

Although Zhou Yuan knew that the method of refining the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword in the human realm was not the proper way.

Adding too much metal is considered adding impurities. Only by maintaining the pure wood attribute can the sword heart be clear and there be greater room for growth.

But that's for the future.

Zhou Yuan is still in the human realm.

In the human realm, when cultivators fight, they rely on the hardness and sharpness of their magical treasures.

Only in this way can one achieve extremely high combat power.

He is only a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. He still needs to advance to the late-stage Nascent Soul stage and then to the Deity Transformation stage. If he wants to achieve immortality, he needs to improve his combat power and find a way to sneak into the Spirit Realm.

now.

This is not the time to consider the clarity of sword mind.

Zhou Yuan raised his hand and made a hand seal—

Thirty-six golden flying swords soared into the sky, swirling and dancing in the air!

With a few spells cast, the flying swords instantly transformed into hundreds of golden sword lights!

Dense and numerous, they blotted out the sky, turning the entire mountaintop into a golden expanse!

The sword lights moved along some mysterious trajectory, sometimes converging into a huge golden pillar of light, sometimes dispersing into countless tiny sword threads, and sometimes forming a huge sword array that enveloped an area of ​​hundreds of feet in radius!

The Great Geng Sword Formation - incomplete!

Zhou Yuan hovered in the center of the sword formation, feeling the powerful sword energy, and secretly made plans in his mind.

I highly recommend "I Have an Equipment Slot in Yellow Maple Valley!" Click to enter the story world.

With this half of the Great Geng Sword Formation, plus the Twelve Divine Thrusters, he was confident he could defeat even some weaker late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators!

If the seventy-two flying swords were to form the complete Great Geng Sword Formation, its power would be enough to kill even the best Nascent Soul cultivators!

Of course.

In battles between cultivators, the situation is ever-changing.

There are some supernatural abilities or magical treasures that can counter the sword formation, so he cannot be too complacent.

Zhou Yuan retrieved his flying sword and returned to his quiet room with satisfaction.

……

Now that he had reached the mid-Nascent Soul stage, Zhou Yuan planned to completely refine the Azure Ice Flame that he had obtained from the Void Heaven Palace.

He sat cross-legged in the quiet room, and with a thought, a fist-sized blue ice flame emerged from his body and hovered in his palm.

The icy flame was entirely azure blue, radiating an astonishing chill; it was none other than the Azure Ice Flame.

After years of nurturing, he had refined most of the ice flame, but a trace of its essence remained that had not been fully integrated.

Zhou Yuan took a deep breath and began refining.

He opened his mouth and spat out a golden, warding-off divine lightning bolt, enveloping the essence of that wisp of dry blue ice flame within it.

This is an extremely slow process. The essence of the ice flame is stubborn and powerful, requiring the use of the exorcising divine thunder to gradually wear away any remaining will within it, and then slowly assimilate it with one's own divine consciousness.

Zhou Yuan replaced all the equipment slots with items that could help refine flames and activated them at full power.

Even so, it still took nearly four years.

For four years, he hardly left his house, refining the essence day and night.

Through his tireless efforts, the icy flame's original essence was gradually smoothed away, becoming gentler.

Finally one day—

"It's done!"

Zhou Yuan opened his eyes, the blue ice flame in his palm burning quietly, without any further resistance.

With a thought, the ice flames changed shape at will, sometimes transforming into a small blue bird, sometimes into a small blue snake, extremely agile.

From then on, he could absorb the Azure Ice Flame into his body and control it at will.

Four years of refining would probably take an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator decades or even centuries.

His equipment slots boosted his comprehension and refining speed, greatly shortening the process.

Zhou Yuan nodded in satisfaction, his gaze falling on the storage bag at his waist.

……

"It's time to try out the Void Heaven Cauldron."

With a thought, Zhou Yuan took out a small cauldron, a few inches tall, from his storage bag.

The cauldron was light blue in color, with two handles and three legs, and its surface was engraved with various patterns of insects, fish, beasts, mountains, rivers and trees.

Although it looks simple and rough, it exudes a wild and ancient atmosphere.

It was the Void Heaven Cauldron.

Zhou Yuan cast a spell, causing the small cauldron to levitate in mid-air.

Then, he flipped his palm, and the newly refined Azure Ice Flame surged out.

The flames engulfed the small cauldron!

The blue ice flames burned fiercely, but there was no heat to be felt, only a bone-chilling cold.

The small cauldron, only a few inches tall, swelled to a massive size of over ten feet in the blink of an eye, enveloped in icy flames!

The paintings of flowers, birds, insects, fish, mountains, and trees on the cauldron wall suddenly became clear and vivid, as if they were alive.

Looking at the colossal object that appeared in the air, Zhou Yuan calmly stood up, waved his hand in the air, and the giant cauldron slowly fell several feet down, stopping a few feet away from his chest.

He examined the cauldron again, his gaze sweeping over the exquisite patterns.

Then, without even thinking, he raised his hand.

"Bang!"

A hand pierced through the blue ice flames and landed on the cauldron wall.

A bizarre scene unfolded!

The originally raging blue flames suddenly transformed into a tornado that shot into the sky!

The sound of a dragon's roar could be heard in the wind.

A blue dragon, over ten feet long, emerged from the wind!

The blue dragon was crystal clear, its scales shimmering with a faint blue light. After shaking its head and wagging its tail, the dragon's head suddenly plunged downwards and disappeared into the lid of the cauldron in a flash!
