Chapter 650: Han Zhan refines treasures, Demon Lord

What does it mean to be "hard to explain in a few words"?

The matter is convoluted and complex, not something that can be made clear in a single sentence; that is what it means to be hard to explain in a few words.

Han Zhan is puzzled.

In his view, the magic power fluctuations the other party is displaying externally are no longer those of the 6th level of Core Formation from when he first entered the Demon-Sinking Land, but the 8th level of Core Formation!

And internally, that terrifying physique of Luo Chen's, capable of hard-resisting attacks from true-treasure-grade sword pellets, has undoubtedly made significant progress compared to when he left Peng Lake.

Combining the two, one can see what kind of wonderful fortuitous encounters Luo Chen must have had since parting ways with him at Mingzhao Heaven.

Although the Primordial Cauldron and the Profound Dust Armor both possess automatic repair functions, this function is actually quite weak; it requires the owner to supplement materials and use magic power true fire to refine them day and night to restore them to their original state.

Or damaged magic treasures, or severed limbs... and essence blood!

"That gray light is now... in short, Moon Wanderer will not let me go."

"Senior, can you refine this object for me?"

He withdrew his attention from Han Zhan and let it fall upon the silent gray little cauldron within his Qi Sea.

"Where exactly did all that magic power of mine go?"

For this reason, even if it means delaying the delivery date, he must change course.

Luo Chen shook his head, "I can't wait that long. I need to be able to use this object within a year, no, within half a year; the sooner, the better!"

The might of that true treasure self-detonation was truly terrifying.

Especially since he is now at the 8th level of Core Formation, the magic power required is more than double what it was before.

"Young friend Gu Chen, there is a fierce battle ahead; it would be better to go inside and take cover."

"How can the affinity between the Primordial Cauldron and the gray light be so good? They merged with each other without any rejection. Could it be because the gray light was previously suppressed within the Heaven-Refining Cauldron, which is also a cauldron-type magic treasure?"

It is precisely the inherited true treasure of the Penglai Immortal Sect—the Penglai Eight-Corner Pavilion!

Han Zhan took one look; the object was the size of a square inch, capable of being held in one palm.

Sui Jie frowned; a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator actually calling him "fellow Daoist" was somewhat ignorant of what was good for him.

But it was just a bit of banter.

That accident resulted in all of Luo Chen's materials being consumed, and along with it, Tian Yezi took out his own treasured Green Duckweed Ghost Wind, simultaneously achieving the Primordial Cauldron's terrifying foundation.

Changing direction, Sovereign Qixia should also have items belonging to the Heaven-Refining Demon Lord on hand.

Watching Han Zhan's focused actions in refining the Penglai Eight-Corner Pavilion, Luo Chen could not help but take a few extra looks at his puppet body.

The stockpile of True Flame Pills in his storage ring is no longer much.

Many people say that Luo Chen has deep good fortune, and Luo Chen often banters about himself this way.

The Purple Monkey Flower must not be lost!

Although among the thirty-six pill formulas obtained in the Pill Hall, there is one for the human race's Infant-Forming Pill, the medicinal herbs involved are varied, and the refining points involved are all different. In a short time, Luo Chen simply cannot master that pill formula.

Having obtained Han Zhan's promise, Luo Chen could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

The harvest from this, at the very least, saved decades of bitter cultivation!

For an ordinary person, this is already a massive fortuitous encounter.

"Are you worried about Moon Wanderer?"

"Could it be that the blood belongs to the Heaven-Refining Demon Lord, so the gray light, also left behind by the Demon Lord, actively came to join after the Primordial Cauldron shattered and revealed the scent of the blood?"

After all, the Primordial Cauldron, which is infinitely close to a true treasure, is still not a true treasure after all, and has an absolute gap in level compared to that golden bell.

"They're fighting again up ahead!"

If such an existence truly existed, how could it have been sealed by the ancestor of the Soul-Refining lineage within the Northern Night-Demon Heaven?

I can't figure it out!

But for Luo Chen, the changes in his body-refining realm are what he is most concerned about.

"Therefore, before leaving, I must take away the Purple Monkey Flower there!"

Luo Chen took out a top-grade True Flame Pill, swallowed it, and slowly refined it.

The leader is a Core Formation early-stage cultivator named Sui Jie.

Han Zhan suddenly realized.

While in mid-air, a wooden kite one and a half zhang long appeared beneath his feet.

However, his natal magic treasure, the Primordial Cauldron, suffered extremely severe damage, even causing Luo Chen, whose heart and spirit were connected, to suffer soul damage.

Even though he used a late-stage Nascent Soul White Tiger puppet obtained in the puppet world and prepared an attack in advance, he still didn't injure the other party, which shows how strong Moon Wanderer is.

"According to what that Master of Demon-Cloud Cave said, this treasure is ranked as an inherited true treasure of the Penglai Immortal Sect; it has a dedicated person to maintain it, but it does not recognize a single owner. The Penglai Immortal Sect has been passed down for countless years, and often wanders deep in the Northern Sea wilderness, frequently encountering naturally grown spiritual herbs, so they often send disciples and followers to carry the Eight-Corner Pavilion to transplant spiritual herbs. That is why they didn't specifically set up powerful restrictions, to facilitate use by their followers."

"Turn the rudder! Turn the rudder! Turn the rudder!"

Eating it directly is simply a waste of a heavenly treasure!

In short, Luo Chen summarizes the changes in his body now in eight words—"Benefit in the present, loss in the future."

No matter how you look at it, it's a good thing, right!

In silence, Luo Chen didn't know how to tell Han Zhan for a moment, or perhaps subconsciously didn't want to talk about those things.

"The Purple Monkey Flower cultivated for me by Sang Jiugong on Purple Spirit Island involves my opportunity to form an Infant; I absolutely cannot abandon it."

Looking closely at it now, Luo Chen still cannot find the reason.

Tian Yezi felt that the blood seemed very suitable for refining treasures, so he let it exist without driving it away.

He has many things to do now, but the most important one is actually only one!

Magic power surged at his fingertips, and a faint light emerged from his storage ring.

The eaves were towering, the eight corners exquisite, and the windows and doors were lifelike, just like a miniature wooden carving held in the palm.

The depth of his study is such that he could refine it at any time.

If the battle between the Heaven-Refining Demon Lord and Sovereign Qixia is true, then it is only natural that Sovereign Qixia's Nirvana Holy Fire exists within Mingzhao Heaven.

"It is indeed a true treasure, capable of communicating with the spiritual energy of the inner and outer heavens and earth."

Regarding this encounter, Luo Chen is completely baffled.

He survived.

A powerful magic power fluctuation suddenly bloomed from the black-clothed man named "Gu Chen," not inferior to his own.

At this moment, on his attribute panel, two entries are flashing brightly.

At that time, Luo Chen didn't have time to think carefully and instinctively put his natal magic treasure inside.

"Don't worry, if you only want to achieve the level of those Core Formation Penglai sect members like Yu Gao collecting the Divine Shen Yuanwei, it's not a difficult task for me; I just need to refine a few key restrictions."

Luo Chen shook his head; since he can't figure it out, then don't think about it for now; anyway, this matter has nothing to do with him.

Borrowing his natal Core, the terrifying life essence of the Tai Sui body, and that wisp of original Nirvana Holy Fire, he completed one Nirvana out of the three of the Nine Tribulations and Three Nirvanas in a perilous manner.

Simple and plain, these two entries mean many details.

There is only one reason for it to have such a shocking change!

That gray light!

It can collect spiritual herbs and allow them to grow freely, having the reputation of a portable spiritual herb garden.

Three days later, the merchant ship of this Core Formation family changed course in a hurry amidst the raging waves.

"Forget it, it's already excellent that the Primordial Cauldron is restored to its original state; as long as no trouble arises, there will always be a way to solve this problem later."

Misfortune often hides in good fortune!

In the face of these gains, what Luo Chen lost makes his heart ache even more.

Under these circumstances, it was actually wiped out in one battle by the Northern Sea Demon Clan Allied Forces?

Is it just because the Blood Sea Old Ancestor fell in Mingzhao Heaven?

Thinking of the strength Moon Wanderer displayed in Mingzhao Heaven at that time, Han Zhan also felt a chill in his heart.

"Once she returns to the Wan Xian Society, she will very likely use the power of countless loose cultivators of the Wan Xian Society to search for me, or even find out the location of Purple Spirit Island through those who are on good terms with me!"

His spiritual sense probed into it, observing carefully while analyzing the possibility of refining.

The black-clothed man glanced at him and then cupped his hands.

Abruptly!

A faint clue connected in his mind.

Besides that, there was also that fleeting glimpse of the White Tiger puppet!

If Luo Chen didn't see it wrong, that must be a powerful existence comparable to a late-stage Nascent Soul!

Luo Chen patiently explained: "Most of the Purple Monkey Flowers on Purple Spirit Island have not matured and do not meet the basic standards for refining the Infant-Forming Pill. According to my estimation, it will take at least ten or twenty years to mature. If picked halfway, all previous efforts will be wasted."

The progress bar of thirty-five has already exceeded one-third of the whole, which is also the decisive factor why Luo Chen was able to suppress the early-stage Nascent Soul Flying Xuan Yunzi after seizing the opportunity.

The other miscellaneous auxiliary materials have also been collected one after another over these years, and preparations are complete.

"In addition, I used the Primordial Cauldron to refine pills and treasures in my early years with great effect, and I only attributed it to the merit of the Primordial Cauldron. Now it seems that the credit should go to that blood; the Heaven-Refining Demon Lord's ability in the two paths of pills and treasures is heaven-reaching, and a drop of blood also possesses miraculous merit!"

"That woman has an extremely strong desire for control, not only over people but also over things. Although I don't know what that gray light is, the fact that she would rather give up Fairy Feileng to forcibly collect it shows her determination to obtain it!"

Especially since the Five-Element Lotus Platform needed for the medicinal herbs is already in his pocket.

At this, Han Zhan completely understood.

The Five-Spirit Dao Body capable of cultivating all methods!

The foundation for the birth of a second Nascent Soul after advancing to the Nascent Soul stage—the second Nascent Core!

Even, that Tai Sui body containing infinite vitality, being swallowed and refined so roughly, is also a huge loss for Luo Chen, a fourth-rank alchemist!

If utilized well, he doesn't know how many divine pills and spiritual medicines could be refined from that one Tai Sui body.

The Origin Demon Sect occupied the Demon-Sinking Land for a thousand years, and the treasures within must have been collected countless times.

"Leave it to me!"

Because that involves his Immortal Dao natal cultivation method—"Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Scripture."

Han Zhan gestured with his hand, and the miniature pavilion fell into his hands.

The day the cauldron is formed, it will be top-grade!

And that accident originated from an unknown bloodstain on a top-grade Fire Spirit Diamond.

"What's going on? Wasn't it said that this shipping lane already belongs to the Demon-Net Flow?"

【Realm: Core Formation 8th Level 99/100, Desolate Ancient 4th Rank 35/100】

At that time, Luo Chen was afraid it would fall apart.

When sitting in meditation and practicing, this question popped up again.

Blood Tribulation, Flesh Tribulation, Bone Tribulation—Flesh Nirvana!

This operation not only allowed Luo Chen to escape danger and reshape his complete physique, but also allowed his physique to instantly cross the early Desolate Ancient realm and reach the middle stage.

His tone turned awkward, "It was I who had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai. I wish fellow Daoist a smooth journey."

Or is it that these endless demon clans in the Northern Sea truly have existences so strong that even the great powers of the Origin Demon Sect cannot match them?

No!

It shouldn't be.

For the Primordial Cauldron, which has excellent materials and a deep foundation, this is undoubtedly the first time in history.

Especially since he still needs to refine the Infant-Forming Pill later; if the most handy Primordial Cauldron cannot be used, then the trouble will be huge.

"Forget it, now is not the time to think about these things."

"If you want to take away the Purple Monkey Flower, just take it; you don't necessarily have to use the Penglai Eight-Corner Pavilion!"

"But that's not right either. The Heaven-Refining Cauldron's spirit saw through the truth of my practicing Sovereign Qixia's cultivation method and would rather self-detonate than let me obtain the Heaven-Refining Cauldron and that gray light."

"What exactly is that gray light?"

This is his natal magic treasure after all!

If it can't be driven, what kind of situation is that!

If it weren't for the terrifying Tai Sui vitality contained within Luo Chen's body, constantly repairing his body, he would probably have suffered severe injuries as well.

Therefore, he doesn't believe that anecdotes like heavenly treasures actively coming to join one will happen to him.

It's as if it repaired itself automatically.

A heavy treasure that Luo Chen forcibly snatched from the hands of the Wan Xian Society and Penglai Immortal Sect powerhouses in the Wood Heaven Plain.

"Who knows? The Canghai Alliance has been launching a massive counterattack against the Demon-Net Flow recently, and the Penglai Immortal Sect has inexplicably reduced its troops, causing the Demon-Net Flow to fight alone. In short, don't worry about it; let's avoid this battlefield first to avoid being affected."

For the last opportunity in Mingzhao Heaven, if he really has to find a reason, Luo Chen can only use this assumption to explain it.

Even so, that doesn't mention the inheritance harvest he obtained from the Pill Hall.

Without a third-rank spiritual vein, relying solely on pills to restore magic power is just this slow.

The Penglai Eight-Corner Pavilion, this portable spiritual herb garden, has the effect of transplanting various spiritual plants and herbs roots and all, without damaging the spiritual nature of the herbs.

Luo Chen intends to use the Penglai Eight-Corner Pavilion to take away all the Purple Monkey Flowers on Purple Spirit Island to prevent Moon Wanderer from finding an opportunity to pursue him.

No!

As magic power surged layer by layer, the pure and domineering magic power made him involuntarily take a step back.

The other party had quite an extraordinary harvest in the Mingzhao Heaven puppet world!

Except for not obtaining the most important puppet inheritance, he obtained a full nine powerful puppets!

Seven Core Formation peak puppets, one Nascent Soul puppet suitable for Han Zhan's Nascent Soul to inhabit, and it is made entirely of spiritual wood, allowing his magic power to be released smoothly and freely.

Once, when refining the Primordial Cauldron, an unexpected accident occurred.

But at this moment!

What Luo Chen saw, the Primordial Cauldron in his Qi Sea was intact!

But immediately, there was doubt again.

From the beginning of the 4th rank of Desolate Ancient, without any polishing, directly from 1 to 35, what concept is this?

In other words, this is no less than an early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator instantly climbing from the 1st level of Nascent Soul to the 3rd... no, it's the 4th!

Even if the Soul Transformation great powers dare not enter it personally, risking falling, just relying on the countless brilliant descendants of a generation of holy lands, they should have earned a full pot.

It's just that because of this, Luo Chen is very puzzled.

Looking at the silent little cauldron, Luo Chen's heart couldn't help but sink.

Han Zhan looked at Luo Chen in surprise, "Are you in such a hurry? This treasure has all five elements, and also possesses the three strange powers of wind, thunder, and ice. After you form your Infant, you can refine it yourself; why the need for me to do it for you?"

"An item left behind by the Heaven-Refining Demon Lord, could it be that it was refined by him personally?"

Luo Chen gave a hum, his face full of solemnity.

"But there is one point; I found that at the core formation, there are several magic power auras sealing the deepest core restrictions. If I want to refine that in a short time, it is absolutely impossible; even with my strong heart and spirit, it will take decades to do so."

The surge in the Qi Refining realm was undoubtedly due to that mysterious spring water; after soaking for more than a year, Luo Chen's realm quietly rose to the point of being just one step away from the 9th level of Core Formation.

When the Mingzhao Heaven transmission opened, the gray light actively chased after him and actively merged into the Primordial Cauldron.

"If this is the case, it actively throwing itself into the Primordial Cauldron means that my natal magic treasure should have some connection with the Heaven-Refining Demon Lord."

"However, this treasure should have been unrefined for thousands of years. There are many spiritual sense restrictions left on it, but they don't belong to any one person, but to many people."

That trip to the Demon Sea, Han Zhan did not participate personally.

Luo Chen is like this, Han Zhan is like this, and the others are even more so.

But he has already had the ancient Infant-Forming Pill formula obtained from the Green Pill Valley and Han Zhan for decades!

Because he cannot drive the Primordial Cauldron!

That little cauldron just rooted itself quietly in his Qi Sea, devouring the magic power that Luo Chen doesn't have much of right now.

Luo Chen recalled the refining process of his natal magic treasure, and the events of the past surfaced in his mind.

Just at this moment, the corner of his eye caught a black-clothed man walking out of the passenger cabin and walking to the edge of the deck.

Such earth-shaking changes are obviously derived from that "Nirvana"!

Misfortune often hides in good fortune!

Due to the battle between the Nine-Refining Beacon Fire and the Nirvana Holy Fire, his second Nascent Core was destroyed, and the powerful force almost brought him into an abyss of no return.

Luo Chen shook his head hard, seemingly shaking the thousand thoughts in his mind away.

Luo Chen seized this opportunity and operated the "Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Scripture" to forcibly initiate flesh Nirvana.

Before, on the Cloud Sea Square of Mingzhao Heaven, Flying Xuan Yunzi took advantage of his distraction to self-detonate the true treasure Jin Zhong, forcibly breaking free from the Primordial Cauldron's restraint.

Not only that, but he even transformed his constitution into a Fire Spirit Body, making it more suitable for the practice of fire-type cultivation methods.

It can be said that as long as they are cultivators who walked out of the Demon-Sinking Land alive, they all have more or less significant gains.

In short, whether it is true or false, it is not a good thing for him at the moment.

He looked at the scene of magic treasures bombarding each other in the sky in the distance, and the waves stirred up by countless powerhouses on the sea, his expression extremely panicked.

But!

Inside the Penglai Eight-Corner Pavilion, there is a large area of high-quality Divine Shen Yuanwei (from the Wood Heaven Plain, transplanted in by Penglai's Yu Gao).

But seeing Luo Chen so urgent, his heart moved, and he guessed the other party's general thoughts.

Luo Chen smiled and nodded, then leaped up.

"For now, I'd better hurry up and restore my magic power; restoring my strength to its peak is the most important thing."

But unexpectedly, after several months, he couldn't find a trace of the gray light in the Primordial Cauldron.

Luo Chen provoking such an enemy is truly an endless trouble!

"Fine!"

As long as the Purple Monkey Flower matures, he can refine the Infant-Forming Pill!

Even if it is specifically used for body refining, Luo Chen can use alchemy to supplement it with other medicinal herbs, exerting its medicinal properties several times, ten times, or even a hundred times, enough for his entire body-refining needs at the 4th rank of Desolate Ancient.

Plus, after returning, Luo Chen didn't say much, only slightly mentioning the matter of the Master of Hundred-Craft Mountain setting an ambush to trap and kill him.

At that time, Luo Chen only felt that the aura of that blood was terrifyingly abnormal.

"No, this cauldron, from nothing to something, from drawings to materials, to refining, has never had anything to do with the Heaven-Refining Demon Lord..."

"Therefore, I must stay away from her and not give her any opportunity for revenge."

Han Zhan is puzzled.

"The gray light that even Moon Wanderer couldn't subdue, how could it actively throw itself at me? Could it be that there really is a saying that heavenly treasures are obtained by those with affinity?"

This person's cultivation level doesn't know how many times it crushed him!

With just one glance, Sui Jie realized that the other party's magic power was as vast as an abyss, absolutely something that only those old monsters in the Core Formation stage who have practiced for three or five hundred years could possess.

It's as if it completely merged into it!

Without any rejection!

In this level of great battle, a little aftermath affecting his side would definitely not end well.

"Many thanks to fellow Daoist Sui for your hospitality these days; I have other important matters to attend to and cannot be delayed, so I will take my leave."

No cracks found, no damaged formations seen, it's just that the size is about one-third smaller than the original.

Luo Chen slowly withdrew his heart and spirit.

Only to see him pinch a spiritual formula, and the wooden kite circled the merchant ship once before rushing towards the center of the battlefield.

Luo Chen never considered himself a chosen son of heaven; everything he has comes from his own efforts and calculations.

But the next moment, his eyes widened.

After a long time.

A thousand years of time, the Origin Demon Sect should also be more prosperous.

In Sui Jie's eyes, the wooden kite carrying the black-clothed Daoist was like a moth to a flame, rushing straight into the raging waves and the sky-filling light.

"What kind of important matter is it that makes him disregard his life, and unwilling to take a detour, wanting to forcibly break through this righteous-demonic battlefield?"
