Ordinary person: What to do with unused treasures? (On Zhuanzhuan)

Chapter 109 Spirit Array Refining Treasures

Inner Star Sea, Chongming Island.

In ancient times, the Chongming Sword Sect once existed on this island. However, for some unknown reason, they offended the then-ruler of the Star Palace. Ultimately, after the current ruler of the Star Palace broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, the Chongming Sword Sect was eradicated.

The Chongming Sword Sect was destroyed, and the spiritual veins on the island were also taken away by the current Star Palace Master with the power of heaven and earth.

As time passed, Chongming Island, which once possessed high-level spiritual veins, is now nothing more than a desolate island with extremely thin spiritual energy. Even the rogue cultivators of the Chaotic Star Sea look down on this place.

Underground in the center of the island.

Since arriving on Chongming Island, Qin Fang has been busy non-stop.

In the end, it took more than three days to set up a large array in the center of the cave, the specific function of which even Qin Fang did not know.

"Although I have never used a mid-grade spirit stone before —"

"But I've set up this formation more than once, so it shouldn't go wrong, right?!"

Looking at the massive formation before him, Qin Fang felt rather uncertain.

The high value of the materials used to set up the formation is secondary! The most important thing is that activating this formation with all its might will require at least three hundred mid-grade spirit stones—or several high-grade spirit stones.

Qin Fang didn't have any high-grade spirit stones. Apart from Nascent Soul cultivators, it's probably rare for anyone else to have more than a few of these high-level spirit stones.

Even a mid-grade spirit stone is enough to make Qin Fang feel a pang of heartache!

Three hundred mid-grade spirit stones! That's equivalent to thirty thousand low-grade spirit stones! How could he not feel the pinch?

This is why Qin Fang has the means to recycle secondhand goods; otherwise, a Core Formation cultivator would probably have to spend most of his wealth to gather such a number of spirit stones.

After Qin Fang activated his Level 2 access, he could exchange the recycled spirit stones for mid-grade spirit stones.

He guessed that if he could unlock level three permissions, he might be able to freely choose from the upper, middle, and lower grades of spirit stones after recycling items.

As for top-grade spirit stones—

Even if it could be obtained directly, it would probably require a level four or higher level of access—this is just Qin Fang's guess!

Level 4 access would likely require a self-destructing "god-like" clone to activate.

Would Qin Fang be so foolish as to self-destruct his hard-won Nascent Soul avatar for a few top-grade spirit stones? Unless he has already ascended to the Spirit Realm, this is highly unlikely.

"Please, please don't let anything go wrong!"

"It wasn't easy for me to gather this many spirit stones; if I fail—"

Qin was extremely nervous.

"It failed—if it failed, the Nine Netherworld Mountain-Suppressing Stone probably can't be used anymore!"

"Even if I collect the spirit stones again by then, it will probably be impossible for me to actually forge the Nine Nether Hundred Forging Hammer."

Qin Fang then gave a wry smile.

"Sigh~"

"Why think about these things!"

"I have done everything I could to the best of my ability."

"If I fail again, then perhaps it's just my fate—"

Qin Fang shook his head, clapped his hands, and seven or eight brocade boxes flew out of his storage bag.

Inside the brocade box, of course, was the Zhenyue Stone that he had prepared in advance over the years!

However, although he had taken out the materials, Qin Fang did not intend to take action immediately.

Qin Fang sat down cross-legged on the spot and entered a meditative state.

He sat there for two whole days!

Only after restoring his mental state to its peak and completely discarding all the miscellaneous thoughts in his mind did Qin Fang suddenly open his eyes.

let's start!

Qin Fang flicked his fingers in quick succession, sending out more than ten strands of spiritual energy that directly covered the brocade box in front of him.

Suddenly, all the "liquid stone" that had been stored inside was drawn out.

At the same time! The mid-grade spirit stones scattered throughout the great formation burst forth with dazzling light, activating the weapon-refining formation.

The "plop" sound continued.

A beam of light, as thick as a bowl, shot out from eight directions of the formation and struck the shimmering, black-gold spiritual liquid directly.

These spiritual liquids were naturally obtained by melting the Nine Netherworld Mountain-Suppressing Stone.

This item is excellent at absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and completely melting it into spiritual liquid material, which really took Qin Fang a lot of effort.

Upon seeing this, Qin Fang immediately closed his eyes and used his powerful divine sense to control the pillar of light.

"Hiss~"

A tearing pain came from Qin Fang's sea of ​​consciousness.

It seems that controlling so many beams of light at the same time is still quite a challenge for Qin Fang.

Fortunately, Qin Fang had anticipated this situation. Although he had only tried it with low-grade spirit stones before, the effect was similar, so Qin Fang was not in a state of panic.

Following the same method he had practiced countless times, Qin Fang manipulated the pillar of light to shape the spiritual liquid little by little!

At the same time, Qin Fang opened his mouth, and a drop of blood flew out.

Qin Fang stretched out his right hand, guiding his essence blood with his fingertips to inscribe an incredibly mysterious symbol in mid-air.

When the first rune was finished, Qin Fang's forehead was covered in a fine sheen of sweat.

"go!"

With a soft shout, the runes headed straight for the ball of Zhenyue Stone Spirit Liquid at the top.

With a "glug" sound, it was submerged in the spiritual liquid, and the essence blood runes disappeared.

The next moment! A strange light erupted from the ball of black-gold spiritual liquid, within which countless essence blood runes faintly flickered.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Fang spat out another drop of blood essence, and the same scene rose again.

After losing four drops of his essence blood in quick succession, Qin Fang's already fair face turned as pale as silver paper, frighteningly so.

To be honest, Qin Fang didn't understand the function of these strange runes! He could only follow the instructions because it was necessary to make the Hundred-Forging Hammer.

These runes weren't even the "Silver Tadpole Script" he had originally thought they were! Instead, they were a special script with an extremely strange aura.

"Sigh~"

Qin Fang sighed and slammed his left fist into his chest.

"puff"

He spat out a mouthful of blood.

Qin Fang was so desperate that he resorted to self-harm.

The essence blood used to inscribe the runes is one of the most important sources of a cultivator's life force! Even if he wanted to prepare in advance, it would be completely impossible.

After spitting out blood, Qin Fang became noticeably weaker.

But now is not the time to focus on these things. Qin Fang was drawing blood-red runes that he could not understand in the air in front of him with his hands.

Using a two-pronged approach! The speed of depiction did increase somewhat.

As runes emanating a peculiar aura continuously poured into the pools of black-gold spiritual liquid, the aura of the spiritual liquid, shrouded by the array's pillar of light, grew increasingly heavy.

"Splash!"

Qin Fang could almost hear the sound of surging waves coming from the spiritual liquid.

"melt!"

Qin Fang dared not be presumptuous, and immediately put his hands in an extremely strange posture and activated the combination formation technique.

In an instant, a dazzling array of colorful spiritual light shimmered in the underground cave!

Under the shaping of the formation, the originally separate spiritual liquids began to merge little by little, and the sound of collisions emerged like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami.

If Qin Fang hadn't already set up a formation on the island to conceal his presence, the commotion would probably have been heard within a hundred miles of the island.

Outside Chongming Island.

-

Lei Qian was getting a little anxious!

The message has been sent for several days, but there has been no response.

If you miss this golden opportunity, it won't be so easy to find another one next time!

The centipede that had followed the scent only had this one chance to track it.

"Is something holding Grandma back?"

"How come so much time has passed and there's still no reaction at all—"

This woman was none other than the shopkeeper surnamed Lei, whom Qin Fang had met once when he was trying to purchase a Core Formation spiritual item.

In fact, Qin Fang eventually gave up on the temptation and didn't show up at all, so Lei Qian had already given up on the matter.

Although Qin Fang possessed powerful blood and qi, making him the perfect target for her to absorb blood and qi to enhance her cultivation, she couldn't very well actually make a move in Tianxing City if the other party didn't fall for it. That would be tantamount to courting death!

I just didn't expect that she would encounter a bottleneck in her cultivation level so quickly.

After more than ten years of diligent cultivation, Lei Qian's cultivation level has now reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, at the Pseudo-Core level!

It must be said that the methods of evil cultivation are indeed powerful. Even though Lei Qian's aptitude was not particularly good, she still managed to advance her cultivation to the pseudo-core level in just over ten years.

She only swallowed a few Foundation Establishment cultivators with naturally strong blood and qi in the middle, it's unbelievable!

However, even with the cultivation of evil techniques, it wouldn't be easy for Lei Qian to break through to the Core Formation stage.

Therefore, Lei Qian thought of Qin Fang, the cultivator she couldn't forget, whose blood aura made her drool!

As long as she absorbs Qin Fang's essence and blood, she will have a chance to break through to the Pseudo-Core Formation stage and become a Core Formation stage cultivator that she would be laughing in her dreams.

However, Lei Qian had already found out that Qin Fang was the one who formed his core a few years ago. How could she possibly be a match for a Core Formation cultivator on her own? Even if the other party probably hadn't had time to refine his natal magic weapon yet, it was still beyond the reach of a Foundation Establishment cultivator like herself. That's why she managed to inform her Core Formation grandmother, who was also the one who was particularly interested in Qin Fang's blood and energy back then.

Lei Qian did not connect the disappearance of the "Dust-Reducing Pill" she had purchased many years ago with Qin Fang.

In Lei Qian's view, Qin Fang simply resisted the temptation and did not fall for the trick; the disappearance of the Dust-Reducing Pill had nothing to do with Qin Fang.

As for Qin Fang's successful formation of the Golden Core, Lei Qian simply attributed it to Qin Fang's good luck.

After all, there are many cultivators in the Chaotic Star Sea who can break through to the Core Formation stage with just Heavenly Fire Liquid and Snow Spirit Water! Not everyone can afford to prepare a treasure like the Dust-Subduing Pill for themselves.

"Grandma, you'd better hurry!"

"Otherwise, my talismans for concealing my aura might not be enough!"

Lei Qian hid in the dark clouds, her eyes fixed on Chongming Island below.

Inside the underground cave, Qin Fang was completely unaware that he was being followed and that someone had been eyeing him for days.

At this moment, he was focusing all his attention on forging the Nine Netherworld Hundred Forging Hammer!

If Qin Fang hadn't been so distracted, whether he had checked out the secondhand trading platform Zhuanzhuan or used his divine sense, which far surpassed that of a typical mid-stage Core Formation cultivator, to investigate, the situation wouldn't be like this now.

It goes without saying that shifting the field of vision is enough! Once activated, let alone a Foundation Establishment cultivator using a concealment talisman, even a Nascent Soul cultivator would have nowhere to hide.

As for using divine sense to probe, there is a very high probability that it will detect Lei Qian's presence.

After all, Qin Fang, who had cultivated the Great Evolution Technique, had already surpassed the early stage of Core Formation in terms of spiritual sense.

Unfortunately, Qin Fang didn't try any of them, instead focusing all his attention on refining.

Inside the cave.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Seeing that the time was almost right, Qin Fang tapped the storage bag at his waist a few times, and more than a dozen colorful brocade boxes reappeared.

The lid opened by itself, and various colored powder materials flew out, beginning to melt into the liquid that was already faintly hammer-shaped.

Despite the excruciating pain in his soul, Qin Fang began to meticulously refine the Hundred-Forge Hammer with his divine sense.

Even the most inconspicuous patterns on them, Qin Fang insisted on making them look exactly like the real thing! Even if he didn't know their specific function, Qin Fang still had to do it.

He didn't want to spend so much money only to end up with a defective product.

Meanwhile, Qin Fang continued to outline spiritual runes that were extremely similar to those before, and then merged them into the Nine Netherworld Hundred Forging Hammer.

Once the rune is created, the process cannot be stopped!

The required number of dishes is far more than a hundred; it could easily be described as tens of thousands.

However, the later stages no longer require the use of blood essence; only the internal mana needs to be consumed. Otherwise, no matter how powerful Qin Fang is, he wouldn't have that much blood essence to use.
