Chapter 681: Great Zhou Heavenly Star Fruit Tree (First update, requesting all)

Roar—

The Golden-Armored Flying Dragon raised its head and let out a long howl; its voice no longer sounded as weak as before, but instead gave the impression of being full of vigor.

Immediately, Li Zhangsheng checked the Golden-Armored Flying Dragon's data.

【Spirit Beast Name】: Golden-Armored Flying Dragon (Growth Stage, Intermediate Exotic Beast) 《Absorbed the Xuanqiong Five-Colored Glazed Fruit, significantly strengthening the foundation of the Five-Element Demon Pet, and comprehensively increasing the physical constitution of this Demon Pet by twenty percent. 》

【Spirit Beast Realm】: Upper 3rd Rank

【Spirit Beast Race】: Perfect Commander

【Spirit Beast Quality】: Half-Step Epic

【Spirit Beast Bloodline】: Nine-Faced Dragon God (Pure)

【Spirit Beast Attribute】: Gold

【Spirit Beast Status】: Healthy 《Bloodline Atavism state, combat power severely declined, status listless, extremely prone to premature death; requires meticulous care and constant replenishment of massive amounts of energy to have any possibility of completing the atavism. If the bloodline atavism fails, this Spirit Beast will die directly. 》

【Spirit Beast Weakness】: Fire

Under the dual effects of the Shengshang Zaohua Dan and the Xuanqiong Five-Colored Glazed Fruit, the Golden-Armored Flying Dragon not only directly recovered its health but also eliminated the influence of its congenital deficiencies.

Not only that, its quality even rose to Half-Step Epic.

In this way, the Golden-Armored Flying Dragon's strength increased significantly, the failure rate of the atavism would also be greatly curbed, and everything was moving in a positive direction.

Li Zhangsheng cultivated a bond with the Golden-Armored Flying Dragon for a while, and at this moment, Kailan's voice rang out: "Finished!"

Under Xiaoguai's direction, the Demon Pets finally extracted the Tree of Life completely, leaving a giant pit in its original place.

Yuangungun held the Tree of Life and shifted it to one side.

The Tree of Life was over a hundred meters tall, and its roots were even longer than its height, with the longest roots exceeding even a thousand meters, deeply anchored in the ground.

Li Zhangsheng stood before the Tree of Life and used both hands to lift it up with force.

Although the Tree of Life was very heavy, Li Zhangsheng's hands possessed the strength of ten thousand jun, and since the Tree of Life was ultimately not yet mature, it was naturally within Li Zhangsheng's capacity to bear.

Only inanimate objects that one can carry can be placed into the Dangkang Xianglian Kongjian, while living things have no such restrictions.

Under the activation of Mental Power, the Dangkang Necklace emitted wisps of radiance, and immediately after, the figures of Li Zhangsheng and the Tree of Life vanished abruptly.

Li Zhangsheng and the Tree of Life appeared in the Dangkang Xianglian Kongjian; he had long since prepared for the transplanting of the Tree of Life, specifically having Adai dig a large pit in the center of the space.

In this way, the special efficacy of the Tree of Life could radiate over a larger area, allowing other spiritual plants to benefit.

Li Zhangsheng carried the Tree of Life to the edge of the large pit in the central area and placed it directly into the pit.

Soon, Xiaoguai, Yuangungun, and Adai were also brought into the Dangkang Xianglian Kongjian by Li Zhangsheng to carry out the final work.

Yuangungun grabbed the suspended Tree of Life; this large pit was several hundred meters deep, sufficient to hold most of the Tree of Life's roots.

Adai pressed its claws onto the ground, and the large pit in the central area slowly closed, carefully burying the roots of the Tree of Life.

It was also at this time that Xiaoguai cast the Sweet Dew Spell, and wisps of liquid fell, compensating as much as possible for the vital energy the Tree of Life had lost.

While the Demon Pets were working, Li Zhangsheng could only watch from the side; he stood before a small sapling.

This was a sapling only a little over a meter tall; what was quite peculiar was that its branches and leaves were all silver, as if the entire thing were cast from silver.

Besides this, the sapling also flickered with starlight from time to time.

More than three months ago, Li Zhangsheng had obtained a seed containing rich star power on the Treasure Pavilion Third Floor, which eventually gave birth to this spiritual plant.

This spiritual plant was named the Great Zhou Heavenly Star Fruit Tree; although it did not reach the category of a Top-tier Spiritual Plant, it was still an extremely rare high-level spiritual plant, capable of producing five Great Zhou Heavenly Star Fruits a year.

Ordinary Star Fruits do not even reach the level of Heaven and Earth Wonder, but the Great Zhou Heavenly Star Fruit is a fruit of the Heavenly Essence Grade, with effects roughly similar to Star Essence.

For Li Zhangsheng, who practices the Star-Light Demon Taming Art, the Great Zhou Heavenly Star Fruit is of great use to him; it can continue to reduce the tempering time of his Mental Power, open more mysterious apertures, and is also effective for Kings.

However, wanting to wait for the Great Zhou Heavenly Star Fruit Tree to reach maturity also requires a considerable amount of time; Li Zhangsheng estimated it would take several decades.

Li Zhangsheng prepared to wait until the next time he obtained a treasure similar to Glazed Pure Water, at which point the priority of the Great Zhou Heavenly Star Fruit Tree would become the highest, and he would cultivate it to maturity first.

Additionally, while treasures like Glazed Pure Water can significantly shorten the growth cycle of spiritual plants, they do not have much effect on the cultivation of fruits.

However, under the cultivation of the Dangkang Xianglian Kongjian, Nine Heavens Breathing Soil, the Tree of Life, and Xiaoguai's Sweet Dew Spell, the cycle for the Great Zhou Heavenly Star Fruit Tree to cultivate fruits would definitely be significantly shortened, and a batch could be matured in less than half a year.

As for the specific maturity time of the fruits, it would still depend on the efficacy of the Dangkang Xianglian Kongjian.

Not long after, Li Zhangsheng settled the Tree of Life and then left the Dangkang Xianglian Kongjian with the Demon Pets, with only Xiaoguai remaining there to tend to the spiritual plants, as well as the imprisoned Di Zhuo and the Purple Firmament Leopard-Lin Beast.

After getting all this done, Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen came to the Refining Room, preparing to refine a Water Attribute Treasure.

This time there were three types of refining materials; while they were not as numerous as the previous two times, their quality was a cut above.

The three materials were respectively a Black Tortoise shell fragment, a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon toe, and an Ying Dragon scale; every one of them was material from a Top-tier Divine Beast, it was just that the quantity was a bit too small.

Among them, the Black Tortoise shell fragment was only slightly larger than a water vat; given the terrifying size of a Black Tortoise, the volume of this shell fragment was likely less than one percent of the entire shell.

The same logic applied to the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon toe and the Ying Dragon scale; otherwise, if it were the entire corpse of a Top-tier Divine Beast, Li Zhangsheng might even have been able to refine a Divine Artifact.

Of these three Top-tier Divine Beasts, the Black Tortoise is a pure Water Attribute, the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon is Water + Gold, and the Ying Dragon is Water + Wind Attribute; the three are relatively compatible with each other, and the probability of refining them into a Water Attribute Treasure is as high as eighty or ninety percent.

Most of the hundred arts of demon taming are closely related to luck; even a Refining Master can only grasp the general direction but cannot predict the specific efficacy of a Treasure.

"Crowned Scorching Bird, breathe fire!"

In the Refining Room, the Crowned Scorching Bird opened its sharp Bird Beak and spat out a mass of red and white flames, which fell into the Jade Dragon Mist Cauldron.

The Jade Dragon Mist Cauldron began to operate rapidly, and a jade dragon a zhang long emerged, slowly circling the cauldron furnace.

After the Jade Dragon Mist Cauldron was preheated, Li Zhangsheng directly threw all three top-tier materials into the furnace.

There was no other way; their melting points were not very different.

Immediately, Li Zhangsheng blessed the Crowned Scorching Bird with the Burnout Secret Technique to strengthen the power of the Crowned Scorching Bird's flames.

Chirp—

Off to the side, the Brightness Double-Pupil Bird blessed the Crowned Scorching Bird with Light Blessing, which to a greater or lesser extent enhanced the power of the Crowned Scorching Bird's flames.

As for the Crowned Scorching Bird's Scorching Sun trait, it had also long since finished condensing; a giant fireball hung below the rafters of the Refining Room, emitting endless light and heat.

Although the Refining Room had excellent heat dissipation functions, the heat emitted by the giant fireball was truly too high, making the entire Refining Room feel like a furnace.

However, Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen's heat resistance far exceeded that of ordinary people, so they did not retreat because of this bit of temperature.

In just a few breaths' time, Li Zhangsheng casually tossed a Fire Crystal into the Jade Dragon Mist Cauldron.

In an instant, the red and white flames erupted, and the temperature rose by another notch.

Inside the Jade Dragon Mist Cauldron, the red and white flames were frantically scorching the three top-tier Water Element treasures.

After finishing this, Li Zhangsheng immediately restored his depleted Mental Power at the fastest speed possible, maintaining his best state as much as he could.

After just two minutes, the Ying Dragon Scale melted first, followed closely by the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon Toe, both turning into golden liquid.

By the third minute, the Black Tortoise shell fragments followed suit, turning into a crystal-clear blue liquid.

After another two minutes, the three top-tier materials finally melted completely, turning into a mass of distinct liquids.

At this moment, Li Zhangsheng once again applied the Burnout Secret Technique to the Crowned Blazing Bird, then immediately tossed another Fire Crystal into the cauldron to increase the firepower and refine the impurities.

A large amount of smoke-like impurities were purged out, and the liquid formed by the materials gradually shrank.

After all, they were treasures from Top-tier Divine Beasts and contained few impurities; it only took ten minutes before no deeper-level impurities could be refined out, as a higher temperature was required.

This was a bucket-sized mass of dark golden liquid; looking at this liquid, Li Zhangsheng's ten fingers danced, condensing countless twisted and complex Silver Seal Scripts that surged frantically into the dark golden liquid.

This time, Li Zhangsheng maintained it for a total of five times, an improvement over the last time, which was because his Mental Power had become more Vigorous.

The next moment, Li Zhangsheng once again formed a Seal Technique.

"Condense!"

Li Zhangsheng gave a light shout, and a beam of light shot straight into the dark golden liquid.

The dark golden liquid seemed to turn into a spinning top, whirling around as thousands of Silver Seal Scripts continuously emerged upon it.

It took over two minutes, and under Li Zhangsheng's control, the dark golden liquid completely solidified, turning into a dark golden disc; a large number of patterns emerged on the disc, with a faint Eight Trigrams design visible.

The moment the dark golden disc took shape, a muffled Thunder suddenly sounded in the sky, and the earth shook violently, affecting a range of a thousand miles.

Li Zhangsheng's expression did not change, and he did not feel particularly surprised.

It was also at this moment that the dark golden disc suddenly emitted an extremely Rich radiance, transforming into a phantom of a Black Tortoise.

Among these three materials, the Black Tortoise shell fragments accounted for the largest proportion, more than the other two combined, so the appearance of the Black Tortoise phantom was not unexpected.

Crack—

What was unexpected was that the Jade Dragon Mist Cauldron suddenly showed signs of cracking.

Under Li Zhangsheng's gaze, which was filled with surprise and heartache, the cracks on the Jade Dragon Mist Cauldron grew more numerous until it finally shattered with a boom.

Today's goal: Three, Pig, Proof!
