Chapter 306: Demonstration of Artifact Refining: The Five-Colored Universe Flag

It must be said, Fang Longye heard the Yin and Yang sarcasm in Yang Chan's words as she felt jealous, and he could not help but shake his head and chuckle.

This little rich girl was jealous for no reason~ With a thought, purple and green mist rose from the Wood Box, and a pair of Wind-Thunder Immortal Apricots leaped out, arriving before Yang Chan.

"This is?"

Yang Chan looked at the innate spiritual fruit before her, stunned for a moment, then raised her eyes to look at Fang Longye.

"Everyone gets a share when we meet~"

Fang Longye said with a wink.

Looking at his cheeky expression and the Wind-Thunder Immortal Apricots in front of her, Yang Chan blinked and suddenly smiled.

"Forget it! I've already eaten this stuff I don't know how many times~ Better keep it for you to coax those sisters of mine!"

As she spoke, she immediately sent the two Wind-Thunder Immortal Apricots back into the Wood Box in Fang Longye's hand.

Although her words still carried Yin and Yang sarcasm, there was no lack of acceptance for Fang Longye's philandering.

Even if it was more of a "broken jar, let it shatter" attitude~

Fang Longye smiled inwardly. For a "wealthy beauty" like her, sometimes all she wanted was an attitude~

It sounds like some kind of manipulation, but she really just wanted an attitude, an attitude that placed her in his heart.

One can only say, the word "love" harms people deeply~ Fang Longye did not make any hypocritical excuses.

He put away the Wood Box containing the Wind-Thunder Immortal Apricots and expressed his gratitude to the calm and composed Yunzhongzi~ "Many thanks to the Senior for the generous gift!" Fang Longye bowed and saluted: "This junior has nothing to repay you with, I can only say that in the future, if there is anything, just command me~"

If the situation hadn't been inappropriate, he would have wanted to add, "Longye has drifted for half a life; if you do not despise me, I am willing to acknowledge you as my foster father"~

It was truly because, on this journey, he had relied too much on the big shot Hongyun~ Yunzhongzi waved his Whisk and chuckled: "There is no need for that; you and I already have a deep connection~"

He also had not expected that the move he had made casually back then due to fate would so coincidentally happen to carry the legacy of Xihuang.

He had not seen this point at the beginning.

He believed that even a Hunyuan Saint would not have noticed at the beginning that this kid actually possessed such an identity.

Yunzhongzi's gaze fell; Tribulation Luck and cause-and-effect formed a chessboard, moving back and forth, deducing all sorts of things, yet he could not see Fang Longye's future clearly.

Let's see how far this kid can go!

His thoughts turned; the legacy of Xihuang was not so easy to take.

Perhaps it would be smooth sailing with no tribulations on the road ahead, or perhaps all sorts of unpredictability were waiting in the near future.

Would he break through layers of obstacles and occupy a place in the glorious world of the near future? Or would one careless move lead to a total loss and sink into this place?

Who knows?

Until the very end, no one can be sure.

……

After expressing his thanks, Fang Longye retreated with Yang Chan and headed toward the Library Pavilion in Yizhu Dongtian.

He was now also a being of the Taiyi realm and would soon have to set about forging his own treasure of enlightenment.

Even though he had always been interested in artifact refining and had never let his skills in this area slide, he had long had a concept for the forging of his treasure of enlightenment.

But the big shot Hongyun's incarnation—Yunzhongzi—was a famous master of artifact refining in Honghuang. His insights into artifact refining could be called precious.

Many people sought them but could not obtain them.

Now that he could take this opportunity to see everything, it could be called a rare stroke of good fortune. Fang Longye naturally would not let it go easily.

"However, there is no rush."

After arriving at the location of the Library Pavilion, Fang Longye did not follow Yang Chan inside, but turned and came to a water pavilion not far away.

He sat down by the water in a leisurely manner.

The pavilion leaned against the hanging rainbow, and the water faced the pine light.

The rain lay horizontally on the rocks, casting cold colors of new shade on the ground. Lotus leaves spread out on the ripples, large and small, moving with the wind.

"The methods and insights for artifact refining are right there, I can look at them whenever. Better to first taste the flavor of the Wind-Thunder Immortal Apricots~"

Fang Longye reached out and took out one green and one purple Wind-Thunder Immortal Apricot; the rich power of wind and thunder immediately permeated the surroundings.

These two immortal apricots, one green and one purple, both had innate patterns on their surfaces, emitting a brilliant and dazzling innate radiance.

Holding them in his hand, he only felt a wisp of fragrance hitting his nose, making his mouth water.

Fang Longye did not hesitate and immediately swallowed the green and purple Wind-Thunder Immortal Apricots in one bite.

Boom! As the two Wind-Thunder Immortal Apricots entered his stomach, a swirling hurricane and thundercloud suddenly appeared in the void, and bolts of storm and thunder were born instantly...

Seeing this, before the storm and thunder could fully form, Fang Longye immediately reached out to tear open the void and arrived outside Yizhu Dongtian.

Only hearing a loud boom, a thunder pillar entwined with swirling wind descended from the sky, accurately hitting his body.

Crackle, crackle~

The sky was filled with flashing thunder, and bolts of electricity like dragons scattered in all directions.

A radius of tens of thousands of miles was torn to pieces by these wild thunder dragons, annihilating everything.

"Great Dao of Wind and Thunder!"

Within the thunder pillar, Fang Longye was completely unharmed, his expression as calm as usual, his eyes slightly closed, feeling the almost continuous baptism of the laws of wind and thunder.

His own comprehension of the path of wind and thunder rose rapidly during this process.

Along with it, the two Great Divine Abilities, 'Summoning Wind and Rain' and 'Mastering Five Thunders', also rose with the tide, entering the realm of great success.

A moment later, all visions dissipated, revealing his figure.

"Phew~ Fortunately, I didn't become an ugly monster like Leizhenzi."

Fang Longye let out a breath.

Of course, even he knew that he was completely worrying for nothing.

Back then, when Leizhenzi ingested the Wind-Thunder Immortal Apricots and turned into a strange appearance with wings on his back and a green face with fangs, it was not just the effect of the innate spiritual fruit.

It was also related to his own characteristics.

That strange and ugly appearance, which seems quite bizarre by the aesthetic standards of the Human Race, is not simple; if one were to truly analyze it, it is very likely a type of innate original form.

Ordinary people couldn't even obtain it if they wanted to!

"The harvest is not small~" Fang Longye sensed the changes in himself now and revealed a smile.

Not to mention other laws, the comprehension of the four natural phenomena laws of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning alone is enough for him to seize authority related to natural phenomena.

It can be said that now, no matter where he goes, he can command favorable weather for crops.

If he were to walk the Divine Dao, he could soon become a deity of a level no weaker than a Dijing in the Heavenly Court.

"Next, I should be like Yang Chan and carefully study the artifact-refining insights of the Great Immortal Yunzhongzi."

Fang Longye raised his eyes to look not far away, where a Treasure Pavilion was nestled among pines, bamboos, and Banana Leaves, cold, secluded, and natural, with a refreshing air rushing toward him.

That is exactly where the Library Pavilion is located.

Zhongnan Mountain, Jade Pillar Cave.

A corner of the southeast.

There is a large pool of clear green, dotted with jade and flying emeralds, with rainbows reflected in the water, and seven-colored halos rising, coming and going, appearing and disappearing, beautiful and magnificent.

Golden Flowers and beaded curtains are scattered everywhere.

Mysterious sounds murmur, never ceasing to the ear.

The entire Grotto-Heaven has vivid colors and space like draped gauze; being in it gives one a feeling of having one's divine bones cleansed.

At this time,

Yunzhongzi is sitting upright on a large, clear green lotus leaf in the pool, demonstrating the secrets of refining treasures to Fang Longye and Yang Chan, who are also sitting on lotus leaves.

One can see a canopy held high behind him, with hanging light and beaded curtains, the treasure colors clear and bright, swaying gracefully, while the spiritual energy and Dao Rhyme all around are like a gushing spring, surging upward. Like linked pearls and joined jade, they hang down in strands, and also like thousands of flowers and ten thousand pistils, clustered together.

He did not explain anything, but was fully focused on refining the treasure in his hands, with hand seals appearing one after another, casting countless complex Daoyuan imprints.

This left Fang Longye and Yang Chan dazzled and mesmerized.

Looking closely, one can see clear waves rippling, treasure shadows falling into the waves, and five small flags suspended above, palm-sized, each presenting white, green, black, red, and yellow, the five colors distinct.

The incomparable treasure light is brilliant and bright, illuminating the inside and outside, causing the heaven and earth above and below to have rich Five Elements laws circulating throughout.

That's right, what Yunzhongzi is currently refining is none other than a replica of the legendary 'Innate Five Directions Five Colors Flags'.

These 'Innate Five Directions Five Colors Flags' are a famous set of Innate Spiritual Treasures in Honghuang, and each treasure flag is a Top-grade Spiritual Treasure.

In Honghuang, they have immense prestige.

Therefore,

even a replica is not so easy to make.

And precisely because it is difficult to refine, the techniques and secrets involved are comprehensive enough. Yunzhongzi chose it specifically to demonstrate to Fang Longye and the other how to refine treasures.

After some kneading and refining, the treasure embryo had long been cast, and it was soon reaching the critical step.

One can see Yunzhongzi wave his Whisk, and countless Heavenly Luck and Earth Qi rush to join in. In the span of a breath, they formed strands of auspicious treasure colors.

Continuous and endless, growing more and more.

These Heavenly Luck and Earth Qi accumulated into patches, full of golden brilliance; at a glance, they looked like countless koi fish appearing in the void.

Their scales were like gold, swaying back and forth, stirring up circles of ripples, with mysterious, clear sounds constant.

It can be said that there is golden light before the eyes, wonderful sounds in the ears, and fragrance at the tip of the nose; it is indescribably wonderful.

"So that's how it is to refine treasures by borrowing Heavenly Luck and Earth Qi in the classics." Fang Longye looked at Yunzhongzi's actions, a look of realization appearing in his eyes.

He knew that Yunzhongzi could easily attract Heavenly Luck and Earth Qi because he is a person with Great Divine Ability.

He himself cannot make heaven and earth bestow Heavenly Luck and Earth Qi with a wave of his hand, and can only consume the Heavenly Luck on his own body to knead and refine Spiritual Treasures.

Of course, the best time to use Heavenly Luck to knead and refine Spiritual Treasures is when the Heavenly Luck has just descended.

The reason naturally lies in the fact that Heavenly Luck does not come out of thin air; in essence, it is a manifestation of the will of heaven and earth. When Heavenly Luck first descends, it has the attention of the will of heaven and earth.

And with the participation of the will of heaven and earth, the effect of refining the treasure is even better.

However, these thoughts were cast to the back of his mind by Fang Longye as they turned.

Right now, observing Yunzhongzi, this master of artifact refining, is the most important thing. The rest can be thought about slowly later when he looks back.

Holding his breath and concentrating, Fang Longye did not even blink, staring at Yunzhongzi's treasure-refining process.

"Du!"

Yunzhongzi uttered a light sound, mobilizing the Heavenly Luck and Earth Qi, transforming them into a power that is difficult to describe in words in the dark.

It fell onto these five small flags.

Sometimes it condensed into fire, burning and refining constantly, sometimes it evolved into Daoyuan, imprinting within, and sometimes it turned into water-like ripples, soaking and dyeing inside and out.

Power poured down, strange phenomena appeared frequently, the treasure sun was beautiful and bright, casting shadows in the sky, and fragrance permeated, rushing toward them, rich and fragrant, rising incessantly.

Boom! I don't know how much time passed, but a loud explosion came from the void, and immediately streaks of thunder struck down, falling continuously onto these five small flags.

After a round of washing and refining, the treasure light became completely clear, suddenly shooting into the sky, evolving into thousands of rosy clouds, and five-colored brilliance bloomed slowly from bottom to top.

Like a lotus flower, the colors hung down like glaze, beautiful and magnificent, drawing the sounds of bells and chimes, one after another.

Suddenly, Yunzhongzi swept his sleeves together, gathered the five treasure flags that were leaping incessantly in the air into a bundle, and tossed them to Fang Longye.

Fang Longye hurriedly caught them in his hands, and information like a trickling stream fell into his heart.

Five-Colored Universe Flag, modeled after the Innate treasure 'Innate Five Directions Five Colors Flags', specializes in defense.

Each treasure flag is a Supreme Spiritual Treasure, with forty-two Post-Heaven Divine Prohibitions. When the five flags are combined, they can even set up a great formation.

It is enough to rival a Top-grade Spiritual Treasure.

"Senior!"

Fang Longye hurriedly jumped to his feet.

Yunzhongzi waved his hand dismissively and said, "Just accept them! They are merely a set of post-celestial imitation Spirit Treasures, not even one ten-thousandth of the power of the original 'Innate Five Directions Five Colors Flags'; they are not worth mentioning at all."

"Aren't you and little friend Yang Chan about to celebrate your union? Just take these as my wedding gift to you both~"

Upon hearing this, Fang Longye couldn't help but twitch his brow.

The way he put it, a big shot is truly generous.

These are five Supreme Spiritual Treasures, and a complete set at that; combined, they are enough to rival the defense of a Top-grade Spiritual Treasure.

Yes, they are indeed not even one ten-thousandth of the 'Innate Five Directions Five Colors Flags'. If the Innate Five Directions Flags were combined, they would be enough to rival an Innate Supreme Treasure.

But what kind of treasure is the 'Innate Five Directions Five Colors Flags'? Each banner is a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure with forty-eight Innate Divine Prohibitions.

There is even speculation in the Honghuang that if one were to gather all five of these Innate precious banners in hand, it is very likely one could obtain an Innate Supreme Treasure.

But that is only speculation.

It is just because these five Innate precious banners already have owners, and there is almost no possibility of them being reunited.

Among them, the Wuji Apricot Yellow Flag is in the hands of Yuanshi Tianzun, the Green Lotus Treasure Color Flag was bestowed upon that Zunti Saint by Hongjun, the Off-Ground Flame Light Flag is held by Taiqing Laozi, the Plain Cloud Boundary Flag is in the hands of the Queen Mother of the West, and it is rumored that the Xuanyuan Water-Controlling Flag is in the hands of Minghe Laozu.

Three Saints and two top-tier Great Divine Ability holders—every one of them a major figure; how could it be easy to gather these five precious banners together~

In any case, Fang Longye feels that even for a Hunyuan Saint, it would not be easy to achieve this.

The mentality of "if I can't have it, no one else should" is not something found only among mortals.

There are three Hunyuan Saints! I fear no one would wish for another to obtain an Innate Supreme Treasure. Even if, for now, this is only a rumor within the Honghuang.

And this set of 'Five-Colored Universe Flag', although merely an imitation of the 'Innate Five Directions Flags', is still a rare treasure.

If placed in the outside world,

even a Great Luo would fight tooth and nail for it.

Big shot Hongyun may look down on them and could even refine them casually, but to him, they are already considered extremely precious.

Although he already has quite a few Supreme Spiritual Treasures on him now, and even several Merit Spiritual Treasures, good things are naturally the more the better.

With a thousand thanks, he accepted them.

He began, together with Yang Chan, to ask about the techniques he did not understand during the previous treasure-refining process.

I do not know how Yang Chan fared.

But this teaching method of hands-on demonstration naturally allowed Fang Longye to gain a great deal, mastering many tips he had never known before.

After a round of answering questions, Yunzhongzi waved the Whisk in his hand, causing specks of spiritual light to shine, and said: "Alright~ let's stop here for today!"

He looked at Fang Longye and Yang Chan and said earnestly: "You two little friends have read through quite a lot of the insights I have written, and have observed me refining treasures several times; it is time for you to try it yourselves~"

Fang Longye nodded; he had long intended to do so.

Although he was not in a hurry to refine his Dao-attainment treasure, after all this time, various inspirations had been flowing continuously, and his hands were indeed itching to try—after all, truth be told, not counting his Godly Incarnation, he had not refined treasures himself for a long time.

As for Yang Chan on the side, she felt even more that she had finally made progress in the way of treasure refining and was also eager to try~ Seeing their expressions, Yunzhongzi smiled and immediately gave instructions to Juque Tongzi, who was waiting on the side.

"Juque~"

"This disciple is here!"

"Take the two honored guests to the Zhengyang Hall!"
