Chapter 586

"He Xi, Master, congratulations, Master!"

In the cave dwelling, Black King was sincerely flattering him.

The response to it, however, was a sentence.

"Don't make noise, I'm thinking!"

Black King flicked its snake tongue, looking depressed, and slunk to the side, but its vertical eyes looked at Luo Chen, who was frowning tightly, from time to time.

It clearly succeeded, why is he still unhappy?

Yes, it clearly succeeded!

"This shouldn't be..."

Luo Chen looked at the armor piece in his hand with shock and suspicion, and even converted his magic power to stimulate it.

In an instant, the blue armor piece turned into a ray of light, covering Luo Chen, with ancient patterns, as if flowing water.

From the top of his head to the soles of his feet, limbs and torso, and even the most fragile eyes, a layer of gas cover appeared.

Summoning the Flowing Fire Hammer, he smashed it on his body.

A muffled sound rang out, and Luo Chen remained motionless. Although there was a powerful shock force impacting his internal organs, under Luo Chen's own powerful physique, there was almost no impact.

His gaze fell on Black King.

"Release a water arrow to attack me."

Black King twisted and said: "Master, this is not very good! How dare the little one offend the superior, this is a great disrespect..."

"Too much nonsense, if I tell you to release it, release it, control the attack intensity to about the early stage of the 3rd Tier."

As Luo Chen's tone deepened, Black King dared not delay any longer, and immediately condensed demon power, spitting out a black water arrow.

The water arrow came fiercely, the demon energy was cold, and Foundation Establishment cultivators would die upon touching it, even early-stage Golden Core cultivators would have to defend themselves well.

However, when this water arrow flew over, Luo Chen did not dodge or avoid it, only stimulating the Deep Blue Mysterious Armor to the extreme.

A light sound was emitted, the blue light shook a few times, and then returned to calm.

"It indeed has the characteristics of that set of defensive magic treasures. Apart from the armor body itself, it also generated gas armor. It can protect against physical attacks of magic treasure entities, and can also withstand energy attacks from cultivator magic power and demon beast demon power."

"In other words, I really succeeded in one go!"

After verification, the shock in Luo Chen's heart surged more and more.

"This shouldn't be!"

He was accustomed to failure, and so-called success came after repeated practice, when the water flowed and the canal was formed.

But this time, it was so easy!

Regarding his casting art, Luo Chen knew it clearly in his heart.

Even if he hadn't heard the Cave Master of Mo Yun's evaluation of him, if he had heard it, he would only agree with the other party's statement.

At present, Luo Chen's casting skills only remained at the magic tool level.

Low and mid-grade success rates were the highest, and he would occasionally succeed in failing a few times with high-grade magic tools.

Only magic treasures, he couldn't do it at all.

Even if he tried to refine offensive magic treasures and failed before, harvesting a few top-grade magic tools, that was because the raw materials were excellent, retaining part of the power.

For this, Luo Chen also lost a lot of spirit stones, and had to risk offending the local casters of the Wan Xian Society to sell some magic tools to get his money back.

At that time, Luo Chen knew that if he wanted to achieve something in casting, the road was long and difficult.

He also analyzed why he would be like this.

There were a few reasons.

First, the time spent immersing in casting art was too short, and second, he lacked guidance from famous teachers; even if Duan Feng laid the foundation for him in the early days, Duan Feng's own casting level hadn't reached the hall of elegance.

Finally, it was related to his casting style.

Other casters cast, earth fire furnace cauldron are indispensable, array masters and fire workers work day and night, and they also use various secret techniques and secret medicines from time to time to appropriately adjust the smelting state of weapons.

And he himself was very simple, relying only on the Hunyuan Cauldron!

As for the fire most needed for casting, he also used magic power to stimulate the Wither-Prosper True Fire, just for convenience.

The more he understood himself, the lower Luo Chen set his expectations for refining the Demon Emperor's remains.

He didn't expect to be able to refine the Demon Emperor's remains after reaching the level of a casting master, but planned to start after the six sets of mysterious armor reached the top-grade magic tool level.

But now, an accident appeared!

The first time he tried to refine the Deep Blue Mysterious Armor, one of the six sets of mysterious armor, he succeeded directly.

"Could it be that I am an unprecedented casting genius? So-called magic treasures, just come at my fingertips?"

Luo Chen muttered, and immediately threw this possibility away.

If he were really a genius, he wouldn't have failed the previous few times he tried to refine offensive low-grade magic treasures.

He glanced at the system panel.

2nd Tier Caster

Sure enough, his casting level still remained at the 2nd Tier, and hadn't reached the level of being able to cast low-grade magic treasures at all.

The system also identified it this way!

But now he had indeed refined a low-grade magic treasure, and it was the most precious defensive magic treasure among magic treasures, which had hardly circulated in the market.

Succeeded, but the caster level didn't rise.

It meant that under the system's judgment, his casting level hadn't reached that level.

"Why would it be like this?"

Luo Chen fell into deep thought.

Inside the cave dwelling, it fell into an indescribable silence.

Even the active Black King didn't dare to breathe, for fear of disturbing Luo Chen's thinking.

Half a day later.

Luo Chen slowly raised his head, his gaze landing on the big cauldron standing in the cave.

"Could it be it?"

Thinking back and forth, the only variable seemed to be the Hunyuan Cauldron.

Luo Chen remembered very clearly that the previous few times he tried to refine low-grade magic treasures, he adopted conventional casting methods. Processing mineral materials, fusion smelting, casting into shape with magic power or molds, and finally engraving arrays, failure mostly occurred in the fusion stage and the array engraving stage.

But this time casting the Deep Blue Mysterious Armor, the process was a bit different.

Because of Huangfu Song's provocation, he was forced to interrupt the magic treasure casting and leave the raw materials idle in the Hunyuan Cauldron.

The subsequent fusion smelting, and even the adaptation stage after engraving the arrays, were all left in the Hunyuan Cauldron.

Especially in the half year on Qu Yang Island, he was addicted to using soul essence to cultivate the Dragon-Slaying Art, and unknowingly used the Hunyuan Cauldron to nourish the embryo of the Deep Blue Mysterious Armor for half a year.

Luo Chen was half-believing and half-doubting, flying into mid-air.

With Black King staring wide-eyed, he flew directly into the Hunyuan Cauldron.

One must know that the fire under the cauldron hadn't gone out yet!

"Is Master going to stew himself in the big cauldron?"

Inside the cauldron.

Luo Chen stretched out his hand, ignoring the scorching high temperature, and touched the solid cauldron surface.

Touching it, it seemed like gold but not gold, and also like grass and wood, warm and moist; feeling it carefully, there was even wind and thunder power moving endlessly.

All along, he had been nourishing this natal magic treasure in his sea of energy, and occasional observations were mostly swept by spiritual sense.

This time, he changed his perspective.

From outside the body, feeling it by touching it with his flesh.

As soon as he touched it, a feeling of blood connection came.

Natal magic treasure, an object of life and cultivation, it is normal to have this feeling.

In the constant feeling, Luo Chen vaguely had some enlightenment.

This cauldron, since the day it was cast, he had already nourished it for nearly thirty years!

At the time of its initial completion, although it had a top-grade level, it was due to the materials, and its own power was not very outstanding.

Under constant nourishment, the impurities inside the cauldron became less and less, and various mysteries gradually began to appear.

During previous battles, nine crimson chains often appeared on Luo Chen's body, which was a major magical use of this cauldron; those chains had a very strong capture effect. And with the Hunyuan Cauldron as the center, it also carried a slight effect of automatic enemy seeking.

This was also one of the reasons why Luo Chen was able to instantly discover the sneak attack of the white-clothed cultivator Yan Zhixian during the hunter assessment task.

In addition, the suppression effect of the Hunyuan Cauldron also began to bloom.

At that time, under Luo Chen's full drive, the Hunyuan Cauldron forcibly suppressed Qian Ting of the Golden Core 7th Layer, and later suppressed the Golden Core Ghost King comparable to the late Golden Core stage; these were all clear proofs.

But clearly, the role of the Hunyuan Cauldron as a natal magic treasure did not stop there.

It itself had five major functions.

Suppress, Trap, Lock, Nourish, Refine!

As mentioned above, it only began to play a role in Suppress and Lock.

Usually Black King lives in it, which is the magical use of Trap, because it generates space inside.

But as one of the three major cauldrons of the Green Elixir Valley, the main function of the Hunyuan Cauldron was clearly the latter two.

Nourish and Refine!

Nourish is to nourish, Refine is to refine.

Luo Chen had used it for alchemy over the years and used it very smoothly; occasionally when refining elixirs, he would also break through the grade and harvest higher-quality elixirs.

But he really hadn't tried the effect in terms of "Nourish".

If one had to find a reason for the success of this magic treasure refining in one go, the greatest possibility was that the "Nourish" function of the Hunyuan Cauldron played a role.

"But before, why didn't I find that this function was so strong?"

According to Luo Chen's estimation, the impurity refining of the Hunyuan Cauldron would take at least hundreds of years to be fully completed.

By then, it would be the time when this treasure was completely perfect. After all, when this treasure was initially refined, it swallowed too many raw materials that hadn't been processed in advance.

Suddenly.

Luo Chen spat out, and a small basin fell into his hand.

"It's the reason for this Dragon-Nourishing Basin!"

The sound of certainty was spat out decisively.

The Dragon-Nourishing Basin obtained from Qian Ting mainly had the effect of nourishing magic treasures.

For the past five or six years, he had been using this treasure to nourish treasures like the Hunyuan Cauldron and the Moon-Breaking Wings in his sea of energy.

Unknowingly, the Moon-Breaking Wings had already advanced to a mid-grade magic treasure after years of accumulation.

The Hunyuan Cauldron seemed to have no changes, but in fact, it was also quietly improved during accelerated nourishment.

And the greatest improvement effect was the "Nourish" power that was of the same origin as the Dragon-Nourishing Basin!

"If this is the case, it can explain why I can refine the low-grade magic treasure Deep Blue Mysterious Armor, while the system identifies that I haven't reached the 3rd Tier caster level."

"Because that wasn't refined by me at all, but nourished by the Hunyuan Cauldron for me!"

After figuring this out, Luo Chen's mind instantly opened up.

All the confusion was swept away.

Even, many distracting thoughts emerged in his heart.

"Being able to nourish the Deep Blue Mysterious Armor means it can also nourish the other five sets of mysterious armor!"

"Even that Demon Emperor's remains is possible!"

"No, not only that. I can completely use the Hunyuan Cauldron to refine other magic treasures on a large scale; even if the system doesn't count my casting level, if I succeed more, I will always find the trick to success!"

Failure is the mother of success.

But those who succeed will always succeed!

The two are not contradictory, and the latter can bring unexpected benefits to Luo Chen.

Not to mention anything else, just talk about this defensive magic treasure!

Its value is far beyond ordinary offensive magic treasures.

Ordinary low-grade offensive magic treasures cost less than 100,000, even if the North Sea is now full of war and weapon prices are rising, the premium won't exceed 100,000.

But defensive magic treasures are naturally one or two times more expensive than offensive magic treasures of the same grade.

Under the current situation in the North Sea, a defensive magic treasure of good quality can easily sell for 300,000 or 400,000.

It can even be said that this is a price without a market.

Put it in that kind of large auction, if you meet someone who is pleasing to the eye or fits the spiritual root attribute, it is not impossible to go bankrupt for it.

With these thoughts, Luo Chen vaguely saw golden light filling the sky; that was an endless source of wealth!

With a leap, Luo Chen jumped out of the Hunyuan Cauldron.

Looking at the big cauldron under him, he was incomparably excited.

"This cauldron is truly like adding wings to a tiger for me!"

In the corner, Black King instantly straightened its neck and shouted: "He Xi, Master, congratulations, Master!"

"Haha, you monster actually know how to observe words and colors."

It had to be said that this time Black King's flattery finally found the right timing.

Luo Chen, in his joy, threw the blue armor piece on his body towards Black King.

Black King's eyes widened, could it be...

It had already opened its big mouth, "Thank you, Master, for the reward..."

Suddenly, the armor piece stopped in mid-air.

Luo Chen smiled and recalled the armor piece.

"Although this object is not compatible with my magic power, it is a low-grade defensive magic treasure after all, worth a fortune. Selling it can also make a name for my casting master Senior Qingyangzi. Giving it to you is really a bit of a waste."

Black King's ecstasy seemed to be splashed with a basin of cold water, instantly wilting.

Luo Chen smiled and shook his head.

"Forget it, for the sake of you watching the house and guarding the courtyard, and watching the fire and furnace, even if there is no credit, there is hard work. On this Qu Yang Island, there are many complete water-attribute demon beast corpses, I will refine a furnace of top-grade Emperor Di Di Liu Jiang for you in two days!"

Hearing this, Black King stood up again!

Top-grade Emperor Di Di Liu Jiang!

It hadn't drunk it for many years.

That thing, although the grade doesn't look high, but with accumulation, it will constantly dig into the power deep in its bloodline.

The reason why Black King could go from a black-scaled python with inferior bloodline to where it is now, even surpassing the Tianxuan Dou Ou that was more powerful than it before, lies in the fact that the amount of Emperor Di Di Liu Jiang it consumed far exceeded Tianxuan.

Compared to external objects, it values the improvement of its own body more.

"You go out first, I want to sort out the cultivation plan for the next step."

After Black King left happily, Luo Chen put away the treasures and let his thoughts enter a calm state.

Now that another magical use of the Hunyuan Cauldron has been developed, he has to consider how to maximize the use of this function.

This is not useless work.

It can broaden the source of wealth, improve casting art, and finally feed back to his own cultivation and strength improvement.

Therefore, it needs to be sorted out well, and there is no room for carelessness.

Three months later.

On the sandy beach, a female Daoist and a red-robed Daoist walked side by side.

The elegant ink-white bamboo robe dragged behind her, but it was not stained with any sand or dust.

The female Daoist's gaze landed on the huge figure in the ocean that was inhaling and exhaling majestic spiritual energy, causing the seawater to surge.

A voice of admiration and envy came from her mouth.

"Senior Qingyangzi, your spiritual pet is truly powerful! I observe its realm, it is even above you and me, and even gives me a feeling that its potential is infinite. Is this really just the most ordinary black-scaled giant python?"

Luo Chen smiled freely, "I have some good luck, although Black King's origin is not very good, it wins in diligent cultivation, so it has the weather of a python turning into a dragon and swallowing the ocean."

When saying this, his gaze also occasionally cast on Black King's body exposed above the water surface.

Unlike the pitch-black appearance seen initially, the scales on its body were increasingly deep, and there were circles of patterns on its white belly that looked like branches and vines, and also like mountain rock patterns.

Especially on the top of its head!

The original single horn was still ferocious, but there was a meat lump bulging on the side, as if a second dragon horn was about to be born.

The magnificent weather was looming!

The only surprise was that after years of cultivation, it did not give birth to the so-called four dragon claws.

According to Black King's explanation, it was influenced by its own bloodline and the changes brought about by devouring the cliff snake corpse.

The desolate beast cliff snake, originally had no feet.

Just as Luo Chen was thinking, Lushan Jun beside him suddenly said: "There are only three months left until your term ends, right?"

Luo Chen's mouth raised slightly, "Yes, three months later I can return to the Fulong Mountain Range, and then there will be another five years of leisure time."

Lushan Jun blinked, "Fellow Daoist, are you not worried at all about the expensive rent of the eight-hundred-mile Penghu? Don't you want to improve your star rating and get more discount offers?"

"Thank you, Lushan Jun, for your concern." Luo Chen smiled and waved his hand, saying with slight confidence: "I have my own way to make money, a little rent is not a problem."

Regarding this, Lushan Jun sighed repeatedly.

"An existence like you, powerful, famous for ferocity, with Golden Core servants, demon king spiritual pets, and proficient in the art of making money, is truly an anomaly among us rogue cultivators! I think even those Supreme Elders in the Golden Core sects might be comparable to you, but in terms of freedom, they are not as free and easy as you."

Luo Chen raised his brows and withdrew his gaze, landing on the other party's delicate cheeks.

"Fellow Daoist, if you have something to say, why not speak directly."

Having her thoughts peeked at, Lushan Jun's expression was a bit unnatural, and after coughing, she said:

"This Daoist has a business, I want to talk to you."
