Chapter 1071: Dragon Phoenix Burning Heaven Cauldron (First update, requesting all)

If this artifact refining fails, then I do not know how long it will take to prepare for the next attempt.

There is no help for it; Li Zhangsheng has exhausted nearly half of the rare materials in his possession. Materials like Blood Phoenix Black Gold are top-tier treasures that are hard to come by, and he does not know when he might encounter them again.

It is not just the Blood Phoenix Black Gold, but also the Blood-colored Lantern, the Fire Dragon Burning Heaven Plate, the Red Fire Dragon Scale Tree Branch, the Burning Mountain Ape Claws and Fangs, over twenty types of Divine Beast Essence Blood, the Six Paths Return to Ruins Gem, and the Demon Emperor Fire-type Demon Core.

Besides this, the cost to maintain the Forbidden Array is also an astronomical figure. Even with Li Zhangsheng's accumulations, it is enough to hurt his vitality, making it almost impossible to try again in the short term.

Success or failure hinges on this one attempt.

Li Zhangsheng took a deep breath and began to sense the energy fluctuations radiating from the artifact refining furnace.

From the feedback of his Mental Power, Li Zhangsheng "saw" a rather dazzling ball of light.

Upon seeing this, Li Zhangsheng could be said to be overjoyed. His experience in this area is so rich that he instantly determined that the artifact refining furnace had reached the Zifu Qizhen level. Even if it were at the bottom of the Zifu Qizhen level, it still made him unable to contain his excitement.

Whether one can refine Zifu Qizhen level treasures can be said to be the most important standard for measuring a Grandmaster of Artifact Refining.

According to common logic, Li Zhangsheng is already a Grandmaster of Artifact Refining, provided that he needs to digest the insights and experiences of this time and stabilize his foundation; only then can he achieve success in one go.

Because the rank of the Five Phoenix Pan Wang Cauldron was on the lower side, even as a material, it might have lowered the lower limit, so in the end, Li Zhangsheng did not return the Five Phoenix Pan Wang Cauldron to its original source, allowing it to be preserved.

The artifact refining furnace refined this time is dark red all over, and the outside of the furnace is carved with various Fire-type Divine Beasts, the number of which is the same as the amount of Divine Beast Essence Blood Li Zhangsheng invested.

Besides this, a dragon and a phoenix are also carved on the inner wall of the artifact refining furnace. The difference is that their eyes are lively, unlike those carvings on the outside which are lifeless.

The dragon and phoenix belong to remnant souls, which can significantly increase the temperature inside the furnace and can also be used as a means of attack. However, compared to artifact refining, the attack power of the two remnant souls is not very impressive; I am afraid it is not even as good as some Mid-grade World Wonders.

Compared to the Five Phoenix Pan Wang Cauldron, the artifact refining furnace refined this time is more than a notch stronger. Not only does it make artifact refining twice as effective with half the effort, but it can also effectively improve the quality of the finished product.

"Since the Fire Dragon Burning Heaven Plate has become a part of you, then I shall call you the Dragon Phoenix Burning Heaven Cauldron!"

After Li Zhangsheng gave the artifact refining furnace a name, the Dragon Phoenix Burning Heaven Cauldron could not help but shake slightly, giving the feeling as if it were responding to Li Zhangsheng.

This is not a coincidence. As a Zifu Qizhen level treasure, they are born with a certain spirituality. When the spirituality reaches a certain level, it will transform into what is called an Artifact Spirit.

A treasure possessing an Artifact Spirit can not only increase the treasure's power but can also be controlled as easily as one's own arm, just like a Dao-Achieving Item.

Not long after, the Dragon Phoenix Burning Heaven Cauldron was refined by Li Zhangsheng, turning into a streak of light and entering Li Zhangsheng's Consciousness Sea.

After successfully refining the Dragon Phoenix Burning Heaven Cauldron, Li Zhangsheng dissolved the four Forbidden Arrays, and the Earth Fire Melting Furnace gradually turned into pure Fire Element energy.

Adhering to the spirit that waste is shameful, Li Zhangsheng used the Secret Realm to absorb all of this Fire Element energy, concentrating it all near the Fire Radiance Stone Palace. This made the temperature there even more scorching, which is more conducive to the growth of Fire-type spiritual plants.

After dismantling the four Forbidden Arrays, there were still some materials that had not been completely refined, which counted as slightly recovering some losses for Li Zhangsheng.

Not long after, the two returned to the capital of the Yasi City-State.

At the first opportunity, Li Zhangsheng summoned Ge Liedi.

Ever since Li Zhangsheng forcefully killed Huensi, the Yasi City-State had stabilized at an astonishing speed; this is the norm for supernatural power planes.

During this period, everything in the Yasi City-State was as usual, and even the several major city-states and countries bordering the Yasi City-State had not taken any action.

There is no help for it; Huensi was already a famous Legendary Powerhouse, and those who could steadily defeat Huensi were few and far between. Yet, such a Huensi was easily beheaded by Li Zhangsheng; as long as they were not idiots, they naturally would not easily submit.

"Ge Liedi, is there any news about Dafi Livingston?"

Ge Liedi bowed his body and said cautiously: "My Lord, half a year ago, Dafi Livingston had appeared in the capital of the Laina City-State. As for whether he is still there, it will require further investigation."

The Laina City-State borders the Yasi City-State, and its national strength clearly exceeds that of the Yasi City-State. It has a full five Legendary Powerhouses on the surface, making it a presence that can be counted among the major city-states.

Li Zhangsheng waved his hand and said: "Continue to send more people; in any case, you must find news of Dafi Livingston as soon as possible. Alright, you may go down."

"Yes, My Lord!"

Ge Liedi respectfully left the palace and could not help but heave a sigh of relief; he was truly afraid that Li Zhangsheng was a tyrant.

After Ge Liedi left, Li Zhangsheng came to the depths of the palace. This is Huensi's bedroom, and the Zhongling Stone resource point is underground beneath the bedroom.

In order to strictly guard the secret of the Zhongling Stone resource point, Huensi had truly spent a lot of effort, causing this place to be filled with a large number of ingenious mechanisms and magic restrictions.

Although the magic restrictions were all low-level, they were numerous, which was enough to conceal the special fluctuations of the Zhongling Stone resource point.

Using the memories in this regard, Li Zhangsheng came to a bookshelf. On one of the book frames, there was a miniature red dragon statue fixed to the shelf.

After fiddling with the red dragon statue, Li Zhangsheng retreated a short distance lightly.

Crack!

Accompanied by the sound of objects moving, the bookshelf began to shift, revealing a winding staircase passage leading downward.

Without hesitation, Li Zhangsheng went straight into the passage and soon arrived at the end of the passage.

This is a small underground karst cave, about a few hundred square meters in size. Countless crystal-like Stalactites hung down, and occasionally water droplets would drip down, with small puddles below.

If one observed carefully, one would find that these puddles were all connected together, flowing into a water pool as if all rivers run into the sea.

The water pool is the place where Zhongling Stones are cultivated, and these liquids are naturally not ordinary water droplets, but are transformed from various energies, just like the Glazed Pure Water produced by the Seven Treasures Glazed Bead, possessing special effects.

From Huensi's memory, these liquids can condense into Zhongling Stones and possess good healing effects.

It is just that compared to the Zhongling Stones, the healing effect seems insignificant.

To increase the production of Zhongling Stones, one must gather more energy and enhance the efficiency of transforming the liquid. Only by doing both can the production of Zhongling Stones be increased.

Huensi understood this principle, but limited by knowledge, even if he exhausted his efforts, the effect was minimal.

Li Zhangsheng is different; the Fairy World possesses a mature system of restrictions, and even if it is subject to certain limitations in the Dawn World, it can still exert powerful might.
