Chapter 614: Come on, Work Hard, Be Strong (Second Update, Requesting Everything)

When the explosion vanished, the rift had completely disappeared, replaced by a vast space.

At this moment, the space within the pot had reached its limit; if it continued to expand, it would ultimately collapse entirely.

"Go!"

Under Li Zhangsheng's control, the Taiyin Token transformed into a crescent, emitting silver moonlight, and the originally trembling space began to stabilize.

The Six-Rank Star Palace Lotus Platform transformed into a river of stars, beginning to organize the Water, Fire, and Wind, preventing them from continuing to run wild.

Once it was thoroughly stabilized, the entire space began to undergo mysterious changes. Under a strange force, Li Zhangsheng's consciousness went black, and he was forcibly ejected from the space.

It was also at this moment that the Imitation Demon Refining Pot emitted a strange fluctuation, faintly resonating with this world.

Accompanied by sounds like ringing bells, the originally dim night sky suddenly changed; dark clouds were forcibly dispersed, revealing a bright moon and a brilliant starry sky, giving one a feeling of universal celebration, as if celebrating the birth of the Imitation Demon Refining Pot.

At the same time, a large number of colorful energy light spots suddenly appeared in the backyard, and like swallows returning to their nest, they surged crazily into the Imitation Demon Refining Pot.

Even though it was only an Imitation Demon Refining Pot, it was still a World Wonder, and the World Will was celebrating the birth of this World Wonder in its own way.

The Imitation Demon Refining Pot shone brilliantly, and vivid scenes began to emerge on the body of the pot.

Under the great sun, a Golden Crow flapped its wings, ready to fly, looking up and crying out while overlooking all living things; there was moonlight illuminating the deep sea, a great Kun leaping over the North Sea, transforming into a cloud-touching Golden-Winged Peng; there was the auspicious Bai Ze, knowing all things and turning bad luck into good; there was the Green Jade Shangyang, foreseeing the future, peerless in elegance; there was the Water-Fire Nine Infants, without soul or spirit, bearing nine lives; there was the Rain Master Jimeng, racing with the wind and riding the rain, its keen edge fully revealed...

The demeanor of the ancient Divine Beasts emerged one by one on the pot's body, as if they had always existed there.

Suddenly, with the Imitation Demon Refining Pot as the center, an extremely rich ten-colored radiance suddenly illuminated the surroundings, and the Divine Beast carvings on the pot's body seemed to come alive, flying out as vivid phantom images of Divine Beasts.

However, in the face of the fully operational Strengthened Breath-Concealing Restriction, these Divine Beast phantoms could not escape, and could only evolve scenes of the ancient era within the backyard.

Soon, these phenomena hid back into the Imitation Demon Refining Pot and disappeared, looking just like a large bronze pot.

"Phew, it's done!"

From the moment the phenomena appeared, Li Zhangsheng had a brilliant smile on his face, which meant they had successfully refined the Imitation Demon Refining Pot.

Li Zhangsheng did not immediately check the effects of the Imitation Demon Refining Pot, but instead sat on the ground, holding his breath and adjusting his breathing, striving to recover his depleted Mental Power.

Not far away, Ning Bizhen was the same; although the two were not as exhausted as when they refined the Semi-Artifact, it was not much different.

Unlike them, the Three-Legged Fire Crow and the Crowned Blazing Bird did not have much depletion; they stood leisurely on the tree branches, occasionally communicating in bird language.

Soon, the two finished recovering.

"Zhangsheng, I'm going to go raise some Academic Credits first!"

Ning Bizhen knew that Li Zhangsheng must be very busy tonight, so she found an excuse to leave.

"Bizhen, don't forget to cultivate!"

Li Zhangsheng gave an instruction; the faster Ning Bizhen became a King, the more confident he would be.

After Ning Bizhen left, Li Zhangsheng reached out and beckoned, and the Imitation Demon Refining Pot flew into his hand.

At the first opportunity, Li Zhangsheng began to refine the Imitation Demon Refining Pot, and incidentally test its efficacy.

Li Zhangsheng's Mental Power began to envelop the Imitation Demon Refining Pot; after all, this was a treasure at the World Wonder level, and during the refining process, phantom images of Divine Beasts flew out from the body of the Imitation Demon Refining Pot again.

The difference from before was that these Divine Beast phantoms were much smaller, and they circled around the Imitation Demon Refining Pot.

When the moon reached the center of the sky, the Imitation Demon Refining Pot turned into a ray of light, shot straight into Li Zhangsheng's Indentation Point, and disappeared.

This indicated that Li Zhangsheng had completed the preliminary refining; to completely refine it, he would still need to spend quite a bit of time.

In his Consciousness Sea, the Imitation Demon Refining Pot appeared in a place deeper than the Six-Rank Star Palace Lotus Platform and the Original Light, almost on par with the Taiyin Token.

Judging from this point alone, the Imitation Demon Refining Pot should have reached the level of an Intermediate World Wonder.

After all, this Imitation Demon Refining Pot was constructed from six Heaven and Earth Rare Treasures, as well as a large amount of Gold Essence and Secret Silver.

Soon, Li Zhangsheng understood the functions of the Imitation Demon Refining Pot.

In addition to being used to purify Spirit Essence, the Imitation Demon Refining Pot also possessed powerful defensive capabilities, almost not inferior to the Taiyin Token, as well as the ability to change size.

With a thought from Li Zhangsheng, the Imitation Demon Refining Pot rushed out of his Consciousness Sea and landed on the ground in front of him.

Li Zhangsheng began to prepare, refining the batch of materials collected by the Starry Sky Auction House, to test the effect of the combination of the Imitation Demon Refining Pot and the Book of Bloodlines.

He did not act immediately, but began to deduce the steps one by one, such as which aspects should be assisted by the Imitation Demon Refining Pot.

However, this required a large number of experiments before the best refining steps could be obtained.

Li Zhangsheng's first material was a Qingli Bird, which possessed a Pure Grade Green Luan Bloodline.

This was a complete Qingli Bird carcass, and Li Zhangsheng skillfully removed the excess feathers, claws, and teeth.

As Li Zhangsheng moved his mind, the Imitation Demon Refining Pot floated up, pointing its mouth at the preliminarily processed Qingli Bird carcass.

The next moment, a ray of light sprayed from the mouth of the pot, and as the Qingli Bird's carcass flew toward the mouth, its size rapidly shrank, ultimately becoming the size of a finger, and entered the space contained within the Imitation Demon Refining Pot.

The space was filled with colorful energy light spots.

The moment it entered the space, these energy light spots swarmed toward the Qingli Bird's carcass.

In an instant, the Qingli Bird's carcass changed; its bones, flesh, and meridians rapidly softened, turning into a large lump of mixture.

During this process, the essence dissipated from the Qingli Bird's carcass was minimal, which was more efficient than Li Zhangsheng's own technique in this regard.

It was also at this time that Li Zhangsheng did not continue to let the Imitation Demon Refining Pot exert its effect, but took this lump of mixture out, and under his skillful movements, initially melted it into a large pile of viscous blood.

It took more than ten minutes to extract less than 1/3 of a bowl of Green Luan Spirit Essence from the Qingli Bird's carcass.

Li Zhangsheng began to calculate the purification ratio this time, and soon had a result.

If he did not use the Imitation Demon Refining Pot, his purification rate would be about 23%, but this time it reached 27%.

This was only the first experiment; once Li Zhangsheng figured out the best way for the Imitation Demon Refining Pot and the Book of Bloodlines to cooperate, he believed the purification rate would increase quite a bit more.

In the time that followed, Li Zhangsheng began to experiment continuously, turning one carcass after another into Spirit Essence; due to the different ways of combining them, his extraction rate also fluctuated up and down.

After spending more than twenty materials, Li Zhangsheng could be said to have tested every aspect of the Imitation Demon Refining Pot, and only then did he summarize the most effective combination method, with the extraction rate already approaching 30%.

In the future, as long as he became proficient and judged the best timing to act, he believed he could increase it by another one or two percentage points.

With such purification efficiency, Li Zhangsheng gradually finished purifying the carcasses of the Thunder Cloud Storm Tiger, the Ancestor Flame Bird, the Qixi Pegasus, and a pile of Moon Elves.

The Qixi Pegasus possessed a Rich Bloodline of the Pegasus; after completing the purification, Li Zhangsheng finally collected a jar of Pegasus Essence Blood, which could be used for the evolution of Ning Bizhen's Blue-Eyed Suet Horse.

As long as Ning Bizhen's Six-Armed Naga and Blue-Eyed Suet Horse completed their evolution, then Ning Bizhen's Demon Pets would also all be of the Rich Bloodline.

In addition, with the help of the power of evolution, it is possible for Ning Bizhen's Demon Beast to increase once more.

The greatest harvest was still the Elf King Essence Blood; Li Changsheng successfully collected three large jars, enough for Kailan to complete her evolution.

However, Li Changsheng did not have the intention of letting Kailan evolve immediately; he prepared to wait until he reached the Sixth Rank before letting Kailan evolve, to increase the probability of a Demon King breakthrough.

As for the Phoenix Bloodline, Li Changsheng had collected a little over two and a half jars, just one step away from collecting three full jars.

As for other essence bloods, there was still a considerable distance to go.

After all matters were concluded, Li Changsheng stretched; his spirit was still very good, and seeing that there were nearly two hours left until dawn, he took advantage of the night to condense his Mental Power.

By the time he finished his cultivation, a glimmer of light began to appear in the east, and in Li Changsheng's Consciousness Sea, the second Silver Moon was already on the verge of perfection.

"It will probably take another two or three days!"

Li Changsheng calculated silently; two days at the fastest, three days at the slowest, mainly depending on the weather.

After tidying up his personal hygiene and filling his stomach, Li Changsheng left the Number One Courtyard directly, preparing to go find Dean Zhang Kaishuo.

At this time, many students were heading to the Teaching District to prepare for class.

"Captain!"

At this moment, a crisp and pleasant voice came from behind.

Li Changsheng turned around and saw Luo Xiaoman jogging up to him; in her hand, she held a copy of "Langya Guo Dage Bangdan," which seemed to be the latest version.

According to the nature of "Langya Guo Dage Bangdan," whenever large-scale events like the Academy Exchange Tournament or the National Tournament ended, they would always release an additional issue at the first opportunity.

"Oh, it's you, Junior Sister. Is there something you need from me?"

"Senior, I want to ask you a question. When do you think I will be able to reach your current level?"

Perhaps feeling that the current her and the Li Changsheng of last year did not have much of a gap, Luo Xiaoman wanted to follow in Li Changsheng's footsteps.

Li Changsheng thought for a moment, tilted his head deliberately, and said, "Two or three years will be necessary, at least!"

"So long!" Luo Xiaoman was a bit disappointed, and unwilling to give up, she continued to ask, "Then how can I have an improvement speed as fast as yours?"

"Everything you want is in your dreams!"

Li Changsheng was speechless; Luo Xiaoman did not yet know that he would soon become a Sixth Rank or even a Pseudo-King.

Hearing Li Changsheng's answer, Luo Xiaoman seemed to petrify, revealing an expression of disappointment, standing there foolishly.

"Junior Sister, keep it up, work hard, be strong!"

Li Changsheng offered a word of comfort and casually took the "Langya Guo Dage Bangdan" from her hand.

Receiving Li Changsheng's encouragement, Luo Xiaoman was like she had been injected with adrenaline, fully revived, and her whole person was filled with drive and vitality.

What she did not know was that only after working desperately hard would one know the cruelty of reality; if you don't work hard, you won't even know what despair is.
