Chapter 345: The Life Instrument

After refining the elixir, Zhang Zhixuan immediately went to the General Affairs Hall of Qingxuan Sect and exchanged two Yin-Yang Bipolar Pills for three thousand good deeds.

Seeing that Zhang Zhixuan had refined the fourth-level elixir and became the second fourth-level alchemist in the sect, Li Zigong immediately informed Jin Laozu of the news.

Jin Laozu was also happy to see Zhang Zhixuan's breakthrough. A fourth-level lower-grade alchemist could barely make a foundation-building pill. Even if Luo Ziyan had some accidents in her cultivation, with Zhang Zhixuan, the sect's inheritance would have one more guarantee and would not be in danger of a lack of successors.

Coming out of the General Affairs Hall, Zhang Zhixuan went directly to Zhongxuan Mountain.

There were originally three purple mansion cultivators stationed on Zhongxuan Mountain. Later, Wu Siheng settled in Jiaohefang and Lu Hongniang also moved to Guiyuan Mountain. Now there is only one purple mansion Zhou Zijian on this fourth-level upper-grade spiritual vein.

Zhou Zijian is the only fourth-level weapon refiner in Qingxuan Sect, and his level has reached the fourth-level middle-grade. The reason why Zhang Zhixuan came to visit him was to ask him to help refine his own magic weapon.

The magic weapon relies on the cultivator's cultivation method. Once it is refined, it can be stored in the Dantian for warming and is closely related to the cultivator's path.

The power of this magic weapon is that it can be advanced as the cultivator's cultivation level improves.

Zhang Zhixuan has already collected all the materials for refining the Golden Sun Thunder Fire Diagram. After killing the Fire Thunder Beast, the fourth-level thunder and fire attribute beast skin is just enough, and most of the rune materials for drawing the array diagram have also been found.

Refining this magic weapon requires not only a fourth-level refiner, but also a fourth-level talisman maker to cooperate and draw the runes on the array diagram.

Qingchan is already a fourth-level low-grade talisman maker. With her help, Zhang Zhixuan does not need to entrust Li Zigong to help. As long as Zhou Zijian takes action, there is a great chance of refining the array diagram.

Zhou Zijian happily went to Zhang Zhixuan's request.

There are only a dozen high-level cultivators in the sect, and it takes almost ten or eight years to refine a fourth-level magic weapon. In order to earn more merits for cultivation, Zhou Zijian would even refine the third-level magic weapon and earn resources from the disciples in the foundation-building stage.

Zhang Zhixuan's commission was a big price. Just helping out, whether successful or not, would earn a thousand merits. Zhou Zijian would naturally not refuse such a good thing, as it would take three or four months to earn this amount of spiritual stones.

The two returned to Black Mountain, and Qingchan also ended his retreat. Now Qingchan has cultivated to the sixth level of the Purple Mansion, which is comparable to Zhou Zijian.

Seeing Qingchan's cultivation so fast, Zhou Zijian immediately believed the rumor that Qingchan was a cultivator with a heavenly spiritual root. Now that the Zhang family's three purple mansions have become powerful, they have enough power to protect Qingchan's cultivation to the Golden Core Realm.

Seeing Qingchan, Zhou Zijian changed his mind and decided to make good friends with the Zhang family's three purple mansions.

"The Zhang family will definitely produce a Jindan cultivator. In the next few hundred years, the situation within the sect will change."

Relying on his advanced weapon refining skills, Zhou Zijian is very popular in the sect, and his merits among the purple mansion cultivators are second only to Luo Ziyan. However, he has a general relationship with the two ancestors Jin and Lu. Although they are old purple mansions, their influence within the sect is no longer comparable to that of the three purple mansions of the Zhang family who stick together.

To refine the life magic weapon, it is best to use the cultivator's life true fire.

Zhang Zhixuan's cultivation is the third level of the purple mansion. His foundation is solid and his magic power is slightly stronger than that of the fourth level of the purple mansion cultivator. His magic power is enough to refine the life magic weapon.

The three of them came to the weapon refining room. Under the guidance of Zhou Zijian, Zhang Zhixuan smelted pieces of ore, and then Qingchan activated his magic power to engrave these ore solutions on the fourth-level animal skin.

As the runes took shape, Zhou Zijian immediately started to carve talismans on the animal skin, entered a series of weapon refining techniques, and engraved the formation into the animal skin.

Luo Ziyan's natal magic weapon is the Golden Sun Thunder Fire Diagram, which was also refined by Zhou Zijian. With the experience of the last time, Zhou Zijian was almost familiar with it and refined it.

Zhou Zijian's mission was completed after the rough embryo of the magic weapon was refined. He returned to Qingxuan Sect without any courtesy.

The next step is that Zhang Zhixuan uses his original essence to cultivate the magic weapon and put it into his dantian for warming and refining.

Zhang Zhixuan spewed out a stream of true fire from his mouth, wrapping the Golden Sun Thunder Fire Diagram in the middle, and the formation diagram kept rotating in the air.

In the blazing fire, Zhang Zhixuan kept piercing his middle finger, forcing out drops of blood, hitting it into the fire, and refining it together with the formation diagram.

After absorbing a large amount of blood essence, the formation diagram kept shaking, and a wisp of blood light appeared on it. A wisp of blood light was suspended above the formation diagram, which was surprisingly beautiful.

As Zhang Zhixuan continued to urge his magic power and force out the blood essence, the shape of the formation diagram became smaller and smaller until it was only three inches in size.

At this step, the formation diagram was already full of spirituality, floating lightly outside Zhang Zhixuan's dantian.

At this step, this life-long magic weapon was almost completed, and only the storage of it in the dantian and the use of the cultivator's true essence to warm it up.

Zhang Zhixuan suddenly opened his mouth and sucked hard, and a stream of magic power was transmitted to the formation diagram. The formation diagram rolled slightly, and then sank into Zhang Zhixuan's mouth, and entered the middle dantian along the stomach and intestines.

When the foreign object entered the dantian, Zhang Zhixuan felt a sharp pain in his chest, followed by a strong sense of suffocation, and instantly felt like dying, with a feeling of returning to the outside world.

Zhang Zhixuan forced himself to cheer up and constantly urged his Dantian to refine the magic weapon, but every step was extremely difficult.

Just as he gritted his teeth and persisted, a cold little hand pressed against his chest, and a stream of strong and cold magic power was transmitted into his Dantian to help him refine the magic weapon.

It turned out that the guardian Qingchan saw that Zhang Zhixuan was struggling step by step, so she had no choice but to help. Her magic power was now far superior to Zhang Zhixuan. With her push, Zhang Zhixuan was greatly helped in an instant.

Zhang Zhixuan's magic power surged, slightly rotating synchronously with the dantian. As the dantian continued to rotate, the magic weapon shrank to an inch in size.

At this point, Qingchan also immediately withdrew his magic power, and this life magic weapon was considered to have completed the sacrifice.

He used the method of inner vision with his spiritual consciousness and found that there was nothing wrong with the Golden Sun Thunder and Fire Diagram, so he put down his worries.

The life magic weapon needs to be warmed with vital energy. The longer the warming time, the more vital energy is obtained, and the more powerful the life magic weapon is.

Vitality is the foundation of a cultivator's cultivation. Refining the life magic weapon will actually slow down the cultivator's advancement to a certain extent. Although it can enhance combat effectiveness, it is difficult to say clearly the pros and cons.

If it weren't for the sacrifice of the fifth-level life magic weapon Qianchongfeng, which consumed too much vital energy, the ancestor Heishan Liang might not be able to form a golden elixir.

Refining Qianchongfeng allowed him to fight against purple mansion cultivators without a single defeat, and even to a certain extent, he could contain the golden elixir masters. But his final achievement was not very high. Even if his magical powers were great, he would only have a lifespan of more than 400 years.

The reason why Zhang Zhixuan did not learn from the lesson of Liang Laozu and refine his own magic weapon was because his situation was different from Liang Laozu. First of all, he had a Taoist companion to help him. Qingchan was a cultivator with a natural spiritual root, and he would be able to impact the golden elixir in thirty years.

Once Qingchan formed an elixir, he could obtain more resources. At that time, a little from her would greatly help Zhang Zhixuan improve his realm.

Second, he was relatively young when he opened up the purple mansion, which was much better than the cultivators with different spiritual roots like Kang Duhe. He had enough time to sacrifice and refine his own magic weapon.

Since the development of the Chaoyin Mountain Spirit Stone Mine, the balance of Yu State has been broken, and a brutal war will surely break out within a decade.

The world of immortal cultivation has never been peaceful. Fights between righteous and evil cultivators and between sects can be seen at any time. In order to protect himself in the war, Zhang Zhixuan can only try his best to enhance his combat effectiveness, and it would be best if he could help Qingchan in the battle. So after careful consideration, he would rather slow down the progress a little and refine his own magic weapon.

After all, there are still many elixirs and spiritual objects to increase cultivation, but the opportunity to refine the life instrument is difficult. Once you miss this opportunity, you don’t know when you can find another animal skin with thunder and fire attributes. After all, if the animal skin of the fire thunder beast is not immediately refined into a formation diagram, it will gradually lose its spirituality after more than ten years.
