Chapter 1293: Nine Cauldrons—Indigo Tripod (First update, requesting everything)

This is a fiery red crystal; one can feel the intense Rule Power, and crucially, there is not a single impurity.

A Fire Rule Crystal!

Li Zhangsheng happily put away this Fire Rule Crystal, preparing to give it to Ning Bizhen.

When the Great Sun Fire Crow evolves, if this Fire Rule Crystal is added as an aid, there is a high probability it can become a Demon Emperor Level demon pet.

Of course, everything must wait until the Great Sun Fire Crow reaches the 9th rank of Demon Saint.

However, whatever one lacks, it arrives; the next treasure is a Glazed Bottle. Li Zhangsheng opened it and saw three portions of Nine Heavens Clear Qi.

Although the quantity is not large, it is enough to allow the Great Sun Fire Crow to quickly reach the 9th rank of Demon Saint.

The Nine Heavens Clear Qi is not the most important thing; after all, although the Nine Heavens Clear Qi is miraculous, it has not reached the World Wonder level. The key is this Glazed Bottle.

Li Zhangsheng carefully searched through the memory fragments of Yi Wang. His luck was good; among these memory fragments, there happened to be information about the Glazed Bottle.

The Glazed Bottle is named the Nine Heavens Clear Qi Bottle and is one of the treasures left behind by the Yunri Wang. Its function is singular, and it has no offensive or defensive capabilities. As long as it is a sunny day, placing it under the sun and exposing it for thirty days will produce one portion of Nine Heavens Clear Qi.

For Li Zhangsheng, artificially controlling the weather within a certain range is absolutely no problem. Not to mention him, even ordinary kings could handle it.

"Good stuff!"

The Nine Heavens Clear Qi Bottle is considered a tasteless item to others, but it is different for Li Zhangsheng. Many of his demon pets are still in the early to middle stages of the Demon Saint level, not to mention Ning Bizhen's demon pets.

With the Nine Heavens Clear Qi Bottle, the growth speed of the demon pets will be further accelerated.

"The Nine Heavens Clear Qi Bottle, the Nine Heavens Clear Qi Pagoda, is there any connection between the two?"

Li Zhangsheng suddenly thought of a question and hurriedly brought out the Nine Heavens Clear Qi Pagoda.

However, no strange phenomena appeared between the two.

Seeing this situation, Li Zhangsheng could only conclude that the names were just similar, and there was no actual connection.

At this moment, Li Zhangsheng looked at the last treasure.

This is a fiery red large cauldron. The body of the cauldron is engraved with patterns of fire-element divine beasts such as fire dragons, phoenixes, Golden Crows, Bifang, and Zhurong. Externally, it looks somewhat like a furnace for refining artifacts, but it has no holes.

Additionally, from the feedback of his Mental Power, this large cauldron has also reached the Zifu Qizhen level.

When Li Zhangsheng touched the fiery red large cauldron, the Zining Cauldron, the Blue Light Tripod, and the Indigo Tripod in his Consciousness Sea all trembled.

"The Nine Cauldrons!"

Feeling the strange phenomenon in his Consciousness Sea, Li Zhangsheng could not help but show great joy. In this way, he now possessed four of the Nine Cauldrons.

Although the prospect of gathering them all is remote, and it becomes harder to gather them the further one goes, it is still a good thing. Moreover, the four cauldrons appearing together can definitely achieve the power of a Langhuan Supreme Treasure.

The magnitude of the harvest from this trip left Li Zhangsheng feeling satisfied.

Not long after, Li Zhangsheng returned to the Langya Kingdom. After discussing with Zuo Qiulin, he entered the Secret Realm, preparing to purify the skeleton of the Three-Legged Golden Crow.

As for everything in the outside world, Li Zhangsheng could guess it without thinking. Even if the official explanation was that Mingcang King and the Dark Night King were banished to another world, it still could not cover up the limelight Li Zhangsheng had stolen.

There was no help for it; Li Zhangsheng faced two Double-Character Kings and three kings alone, among whom the Mingcang King was a Top-tier Double-Character King. Plus, the Sunset Sect was destroyed. Even if it was just the official narrative, it still made people refresh their perception of him. This time, the limelight was far greater than ever before.

Li Zhangsheng was also helpless. He wanted to continue to lie low, but the situation did not allow it. This also had to do with strength; if he possessed the realm and prestige of the Three Sovereigns and Six Emperors, such a situation would not have occurred.

But on the surface, he was only a king. He did not even dare to mention that he had already advanced to a Double-Character King; otherwise, it would not just be the Human Emperor who was coveting him.

To reach his level of genius, perhaps even the heavens would be jealous, let alone others.

What was most speechless was that the exchange meeting hosted by the Human Emperor would begin in three days.

As a member of the Human Emperor Mansion, Li Zhangsheng had to go. Moreover, he also wanted to exchange what he had with other Stronger individuals; perhaps he could trade for the treasures he desired.

In the Secret Realm, Adai spent a full half-day finally breaking the corpse of the Three-Legged Golden Crow.

It was a Top-tier Divine Beast after all; the hardness of its bones reached an outrageous level, and coupled with its massive size, Adai truly spent a great deal of effort.

There is no need to elaborate on the purification process. By the next morning, Li Zhangsheng had obtained six jars of Three-Legged Golden Crow Spirit Essence, which, added to his existing stock, just exceeded ten jars.

"Here!"

At the edge of the Secret Realm, Li Zhangsheng handed ten jars of Three-Legged Golden Crow Spirit Essence, two portions of Nine Heavens Clear Qi, and one Fire Rule Crystal to Ning Bizhen respectively.

Ning Bizhen was somewhat excited, because it was highly likely she would obtain her first Demon Emperor Level demon pet.

It had only taken Ning Bizhen three years to go from a Fifth-tier Beastmaster to her current level. Her progress was faster than anyone could imagine, and she knew clearly that all of this was given by Li Zhangsheng.

Of course, with the relationship of the two being as one, she did not say much about gratitude, preparing to use all her skills to satisfy Li Zhangsheng at night.

The next moment, the Great Sun Fire Crow swallowed the two portions of Nine Heavens Clear Qi, and its momentum began to rise rapidly.

Without wasting much time, the Great Sun Fire Crow opened its eyes, reaching the 9th rank of Demon Saint.

The Great Sun Fire Crow opened its Bird Beak, and a suction force appeared. The Three-Legged Golden Crow Spirit Essence in the ten Jade Ceramic Jars turned into blood lines and fell into the mouth of the Great Sun Fire Crow.

In the blink of an eye, the Great Sun Fire Crow finished swallowing and hurriedly lay on the ground, trying hard to digest it.

Within a few breaths, a large amount of gold-tinged red flames suddenly appeared on the surface of the Great Sun Fire Crow. The flames became more and more fierce, eventually turning into a huge fireball with a diameter of one hundred meters.

As time passed slowly, the color of the huge fireball began to change. The red flames that originally occupied 1/3 began to fade, eventually turning into pure golden flames.

As the last trace of red flame turned into golden flame, transforming into the domineering Sun True Fire, the surrounding temperature rose sharply. Intense ripples appeared in the air, as if even space could not withstand such high temperatures. The nearby ground even melted, turning into a pool of scorching magma in the blink of an eye.

The area of the magma was still expanding rapidly, so Li Zhangsheng hurriedly controlled the Secret Realm to completely isolate the high temperature.

Not long after, the huge golden fireball quickly shrank, revealing the appearance of the Great Sun Fire Crow.

Compared to before, the appearance of the Great Sun Fire Crow had changed significantly. The bird crest on its head had become a Golden Crown shape, its Bird Beak had become sharp, its tail feathers had grown much longer, its entire body's feathers had turned golden, and its eyes were bright and piercing, as if flames were burning inside. Just by looking at them, one had the feeling of their eyes being burned by fire.

Additionally, the majesty of the Great Sun Fire Crow increased sharply, possessing a bit of the demeanor of a Three-Legged Golden Crow.

What made Li Zhangsheng marvel was that the third leg of the Great Sun Fire Crow had miraculously disappeared again.

This evolution allowed the Great Sun Fire Crow to successfully evolve into a Two-Legged Golden Crow.

Note: The image of the Golden Crow was originally two-legged, evolving into three-legged in the late Western Han Dynasty. For details, see the two-legged Golden Crow in the sun on the top right of the T-shaped silk painting from Tomb No. 1 of the Mawangdui Han Tombs, which treats the two-legged Golden Crow as a degenerate stage of the three-legged Golden Crow.
