Chapter 1340: Where should I start with the art of art?

When the cultivators from the Immortal Gourd Realm saw this mechanical puppet that could exert the combat power of the Void Refinement Level, they were all extremely surprised.

They didn't expect that there would be such a powerful mechanical puppet in this world.

When the news spread, all the forces came to feast their eyes.

Visitors looked at this virtual-level mechanical puppet in amazement and admiration.

Zhang Xuan's youngest son, Hu Zi, is particularly interested in the art of mechanical puppetry.

Hu Zi himself has an ancient corpse king by his side, and he is fascinated by the art of puppets.

Especially after seeing his father bring back such a mechanical puppet that could exert the combat power of the virtual refining realm from the Dragon Ridge Divine Realm, he was even more envious of the profoundness of the art of mechanical puppets.

He even ignored Bu Yueling's obstruction and went directly to find his father who was in seclusion, and expressed his desire to learn the art of mechanical puppetry.

When Zhang Xuan learned that Hu Zi wanted to learn the art of mechanical puppetry, he did not blame him for interrupting his retreat. Instead, he was quite happy.

Because his own energy is limited, he really cannot devote his energy to the research of mechanical puppets.

Therefore, Zhang Xuan directly handed over some mechanical puppet jade slips purchased from Mo Yangzi to Hu Zi.

Hu Zi saw that in the jade slip of mechanical puppets given to him by his father, there were detailed manufacturing methods from the most basic first-order puppet to the sixth-order puppet.

Hu Zi was overjoyed at that moment. He took the jade slip for refining the mechanical puppet, left happily, and plunged into the research of the mechanical puppet.

Now, there is hope that the art of mechanical puppetry will be passed down in the family, so Zhang Xuan plans to study the art of a hundred arts from four aspects: talismans, refining, alchemy, and formations.

In terms of formations, he is now a half-step sixth-level formation master, and has purchased two sixth-level formation diagrams from Heyu Sanren.

It can be said that formation is the one of the hundred arts that has the greatest chance of him breaking through to the sixth level.

The second is the art of alchemy.

At present, he is already able to refine a fifth-level intermediate-grade elixir, and it is only a matter of time before he can refine a fifth-level superior-grade elixir.

As for the sixth-level elixir, it is still very difficult to refine it now.

Firstly, I don’t have the recipe for the elixir, and secondly, I don’t have any sixth-grade elixir to practice with.

I'm afraid that in the Dragon Ridge Divine Realm, only some big forces can cultivate sixth-level alchemists.

However, Zhang Xuan once obtained a broken ancient secret of alchemy - the Taichu Dan Jing.

Before this, he had given the Taichu Dan Jing to Wei Ruyan and Fairy Yuxiang. The two women made rapid progress in the way of alchemy through their comprehension of the Taichu Dan Jing.

The Taichu Dan Jing records some unique alchemy techniques and rare elixir recipes. It also contains a recipe for a sixth-grade elixir and a method for refining a second-turn fifth-grade golden elixir.

This Taichu Danjing can be regarded as the most precious thing in the field of alchemy in the Xianhu Realm.

"Although I can't refine the sixth-level elixir now, if I can refine the fifth-level golden elixir, it will also play a good role in my current realm of refining emptiness."

In addition to the Taichu Dan Jing, Zhang Xuan also obtained a broken jade slip for refining the sixth-level elixir from Han Taixu.

Zhang Xuan also included the research of the Taichu Dan Jing and the broken jade slips of the sixth-level elixir into his plan.

There is also the art of refining weapons.

In fact, Zhang Xuan has been able to try to refine a weapon of pseudo-Tongtian Lingbao level.

The chalcedony golden gong he refined has already reached the level of a pseudo-Tiantian Lingbao.

Of course, the Jadeite Golden Gong was able to reach such a high grade thanks to the method of refining the immortal weapon Taoist patterns that he learned from the Rakshasa Immortal Cauldron.

In addition, during the past five years on the ancient star battlefield, he consulted Yu Chenzi many times and made rapid progress in the art of refining equipment.

When they parted, he also bought the fragments of refining the Tongtian Lingbao from Yu Chenzi.

More importantly, after the advancement of the Weapon Tree Treasure Map, he can now enter the Rakshasa Immortal Cauldron to engrave 50 immortal patterns, which provides him with even more unique conditions for refining equipment.

The last part is the method of refining talismans.

Zhang Xuan had previously done some research on the method of refining talismans, and he was able to refine a fourth-grade top-quality talisman by himself.

With his current strong spiritual energy and consciousness at the Refining Void Realm, it is not very difficult for him to refine a fifth-level talisman.

This is the benefit brought by the improvement of a cultivator’s realm.

Back when I was in the Qi Refining Stage, it was extremely difficult to refine a first-level talisman.

But once you advance to the Golden Core or Nascent Soul stage, refining first-order talismans will be a piece of cake.

Even if one has never been exposed to the art of talismans, it is not difficult for high-level cultivators to refine talismans.

With his realm of refining emptiness, on the basis of mastering the method of refining fourth-grade superior talismans, it is as easy for him to fully master the refining of fifth-grade talismans as eating and drinking water.

Moreover, in this small world, there are several cultivators who can refine fifth-level talismans, so it is not uncommon to refine fifth-level talismans.

But Zhang Xuan’s goal is to be able to further refine the sixth-level talisman.

Refining weapons.

Talisman.

Alchemy.

Where should I start first in learning the hundred arts?

Zhang Xuan naturally chose what he needed most right now.

In fact, what he needs most now is a sixth-order spirit gathering array.

With a sixth-order spirit gathering array, it is possible to generate a small portion of a sixth-order spirit field on top of one's fifth-order spirit vein.

With a sixth-level spiritual field, he can plant the Xinglan Blood Spirit Valley.

However, if one wants to refine a sixth-order spirit gathering array, one would need too many high-level spiritual materials.

These high-level spiritual materials were not an easy task to collect in their entirety, not to mention in his small Immortal Gourd Realm, even in the Hundred Arts Guild of the Dragon Ridge Palace.

Back then on the Ancient Star battlefield, when He Yu San Ren was refining the Tian Gang Ding Kun Formation, the Bai Yi Guild only provided half a set of refining materials.

It is simply unrealistic for Zhang Xuan to collect a complete set of materials for refining a sixth-level spirit gathering array, at least for Zhang Xuan at his current stage.

As for refining weapons, he now has no shortage of pseudo-Tongtian Lingbao-level weapons, and even has no shortage of Tongtian Lingbao-level weapons.

Because he has war drum fragments, dragon bone warships, star chessboards, and the pseudo-Tongtian Lingbao-level Zhentian Sword. Now for him, there is no shortage of high-level weapons.

What he lacks now is a high-level elixir.

However, if you want to refine a sixth-level elixir, you need sixth-level spiritual medicine, which is also unrealistic.

Therefore, the current breakthrough is to refine the fifth-level golden elixir.

After the fifth-level golden elixir is tempered by the Taiqing Creation Diagram, it can produce the second-level golden elixir cinnabar.

Moreover, if he were to refine the fifth-grade golden elixir now, he would have another backup plan - that was the Dao Dan Book contained in his dragon wood.

His dragon tree has not been used for hundreds of years. It only has three branches growing on the main tree, the middle one is the thickest, and the branches on both sides are slightly smaller.

It was precisely because he had not chopped the dragon wood for hundreds of years that the dragon wood grew so fast and had reached the fifth-grade top quality.
