Chapter 709: Semi-Divine Artifact—Houtu Turbid Qi Pagoda (Second Update, Seeking Votes)

Looking over the entire scene, Liu Xuguang's dragon python had its brains splattered and lay on the ground, dead as could be.

After the Qin Yuan was killed, apart from Kailan watching the Primordial Winged Tiger, Aixi, Baitan, Heiye, Roundy, and Adai all pounced toward the dragon python.

Under the gang-beating of so many Demon King-level Demon Pets, the dragon python only lasted two or three breaths before being killed by a combo of attacks.

Li Changsheng secretly sighed that it was a pity; after all, this was an Epic-quality dragon python.

Liu Xuguang also had a Darkness Pegasus die; this fellow was crushed to death directly by Roundy.

As for the Spirit King Liu Yongtu, apart from the Primordial Winged Tiger, his other three Demon King-level Demon Pets and the Qin Yuan all died; these three Demon King-level Demon Pets were the Red Dragon, the Earth Titan, and the Vampire Duke, respectively.

Under Kailan's Hypnosis Powder, the Primordial Winged Tiger lay limp on the ground, falling into a deep sleep.

This creature possessed a Vigorous-grade White Tiger Bloodline; killing it would be too wasteful, but it could not be imprisoned, and letting it go was impossible, so he was naturally quite conflicted.

"Since that's the case, then let's seal it!"

Li Changsheng made a decision in his heart; among the partial memories of Flame King Di Zhiyi, there was knowledge of the Seal Forbidden Array.

The Seal Forbidden Array is often used to deal with guys who cannot be killed for the time being or are too powerful, yet Li Changsheng was using it to seal the Primordial Winged Tiger.

Besides this, wanting to set up an array to seal a Demon King-level Primordial Winged Tiger would also consume a massive amount of resources.

Given the importance of the Primordial Winged Tiger, Li Changsheng had no choice but to grit his teeth and pay these resources; the higher the bloodlines of the Demon Pets, the more one needs to nurture them steadily over time, so that they can evolve to the next stage faster.

Of course, he could not seal the Primordial Winged Tiger in this place; he had to find a secluded spot.

Besides these, there were also the corpses of the Golden Lion and the Golden Dragon Python on the field; the latter's poison resistance far exceeded the Golden Lion's, and it stubbornly held on for more than half a minute, but in the end, it still met its death.

Here, it must be said that the Golden Lion was also unlucky; it was precisely because Spirit King Liu Yongtu held a grudge over its roaring that the Qin Yuan killed it first.

Originally, Li Changsheng wanted to save its life, but who knew the Golden Lion was all show and no substance; it hung up in just a split second, so how could he save it.

As for the Bronze Behemoth and the Red Dragon King, these two guys had long seen the situation was bad and fled; at this moment, they were trailing far behind the Horned Dragon Xierdion and the Thunder Lightning Titan Kronos.

Due to the roaring of the Golden Lion Zeryanas, it also alarmed several Great Overlords of the Silent Forest; they subconsciously thought Li Changsheng had returned, so they sent these two Great Overlords.

In addition to the two Great Overlords, more than ten Demon King-level Spirit Beasts had gathered.

At this moment, they were still a hundred miles away from Li Changsheng.

"Human, it really is you again!"

Kronos's angry voice rang out; this time it had volunteered to come. Thinking of how its crotch area was far from its prime, its heart was filled with resentment and frustration, so it naturally wanted to settle the score with Li Changsheng.

Li Changsheng couldn't be bothered to pay attention to Kronos; he used his fastest speed to collect these corpses, the Primordial Winged Tiger, and Kailan into the Dangkang Xianglian Kongjian.

Kailan was mainly there to 'take care' of the Primordial Winged Tiger; once it showed signs of waking up, he would immediately make it take another nap.

As for Liu Xuguang's corpse, after being looted, it was destroyed by the Crowned Flame Bird.

Li Changsheng and Ning Bizhen mounted Aixi and, without greeting Xierdion or Kronos, turned directly into a golden rainbow and left the Silent Forest at an unimaginable speed.

"Bastard, you just wait for me!"

From behind came Kronos's exasperated voice; besides wanting to find Li Changsheng to vent its anger, it also wanted to get more Alchemical Pills to help it recover its former vigor.

Now, however, Li Changsheng had run off to avoid trouble, and Kronos was so angry it was fuming.

Spending half an hour, Li Changsheng and Ning Bizhen did not immediately return to the Yuanling Academy, but instead came to Jushi Ridge at the border of the Langya Kingdom and the Dai Kingdom.

It was desolate and uninhabited here, with few wild Spirit Beasts, making it very suitable for sealing the Primordial Winged Tiger.

Originally, Li Changsheng wanted to seal the Primordial Winged Tiger in the Baisheng King Secret Realm or the Fire Flame Secret Realm, but after thinking about it, he felt it wasn't reliable; if the Primordial Winged Tiger broke the seal, these two Secret Realms might be destroyed.

In the end, Li Changsheng chose Jushi Ridge; for one, it was rarely visited by people and was desolate, and for another, it was not far from the Yuanling Academy; relying on Aixi's speed, he could arrive within ten minutes.

Deep in Jushi Ridge, Li Changsheng took out the Five Phoenix Pan Wang Cauldron.

After being activated by Mental Power, the Five Phoenix Pan Wang Cauldron rapidly grew larger, turning into a smelting furnace over three zhang tall.

The Five Phoenix Pan Wang Cauldron could freely change size, used for refining large objects.

This time, Li Changsheng prepared to refine an altar, supplemented by a Forbidden Array, to suppress the Primordial Winged Tiger.

The Crowned Flame Bird spat out a ball of flame, which landed in the Five Phoenix Pan Wang Cauldron.

In an instant, the five phoenixes on the Five Phoenix Pan Wang Cauldron seemed to come alive, flying around the cauldron, and the temperature inside the cauldron rose by another notch.

Li Changsheng was not short of materials, but wanting to refine an altar required a massive amount of materials.

Although most of these materials were low-to-mid grade, there was no lack of some high-grade materials; to enhance the altar's suppression function and durability, Li Changsheng also added quite a few materials obtained from Demon King-level Demon Pets.

The main body of the altar was Blue Steel Stone, a type of cyan mineral whose greatest advantages were toughness and weight.

Not long after, as these materials all melted, emitting a large amount of five-colored smoke and mist—these were impurities attached to the materials—with the flame temperature of the Crowned Flame Bird and the amplification of the Five Phoenix Pan Wang Cauldron, the vast majority of impurities were easily refined, finally melting into a large mass of cyan liquid.

The next moment, Li Changsheng pinched a Seal Technique, condensing a large number of Silver Seal Scripts, and struck them into the cyan liquid in one go.

Time passed slowly, and without realizing it, another half hour went by.

At this moment, the refining was nearing its end.

"Condense!"

As Li Changsheng's voice rang out, inside the three-zhang-tall Five Phoenix Pan Wang Cauldron, the large mass of cyan liquid floating with numerous Silver Seal Scripts rapidly solidified, finally turning into a cyan altar.

This was a small square altar, three meters in length and width, and only one meter in height; its surface was covered with mysterious Silver Seal Scripts, and under Li Changsheng's meticulous refining, it possessed powerful suppression capabilities.

The next moment, Li Changsheng took the Primordial Winged Tiger out of the Dangkang Xianglian Kongjian, but he did not immediately seal it; instead, he cut its artery to collect a large amount of blood.

Only after the Primordial Winged Tiger fell into a weakened state did he stop, and he fed it a few spiritual plants that could restore Bloodline Imprints before he began the sealing.

Even in its prime, the possibility of the Primordial Winged Tiger breaking the seal could only be described as negligible, let alone when it was in a weakened state; unless someone helped it break the seal from the outside, it could be suppressed for at least several decades.

The next moment, Li Changsheng threw the Primordial Winged Tiger into the large pit he had dug, threw in a large number of Wind Element and Gold Element Sprite Cores, and then, under his control, the cyan altar carried the might of heaven and earth and slowly pressed down.

Roar~

The Primordial Winged Tiger had just woken from its slumber and only managed to let out an angry roar before it was easily suppressed by the might of heaven and earth carried by the cyan altar, unable to break free no matter what.

Li Changsheng then set up a Forbidden Array around the cyan altar; this was a Forbidden Array with multiple functions including defense, early warning, and concealment, also from Flame King Di Zhiyi.

Not long after, Li Changsheng used a Demon King-level Earth Element Sprite Core as the array eye and connected it to the nearby earth veins, completing the setup of this small Forbidden Array.

The moment it was set up, the Forbidden Array began to take effect; the figures of the cyan altar and the Primordial Winged Tiger disappeared, replaced by a flat patch of land.

Li Changsheng observed it for a while, then nodded in satisfaction.

If the Primordial Winged Tiger were about to break its seal, or if someone were to intentionally sabotage the Array Prohibition, Li Zhangsheng would receive a warning.

After settling the matter of the Primordial Winged Tiger, Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen returned to Yuanling Academy and began to take stock of their harvest this time.

After the Demon Pets of Spirit King Liu Yongtu and Liu Xuguang died, the Treasures they carried naturally dropped, along with the Treasures of the Golden Lion and the Golden Dragon Python.

Among this pile of Treasures, not only were there five Top-Grade Treasures, but there was actually a Semi-Artifact.

Houtu Turbid Qi Tower: An Earth Element Semi-Artifact, forged primarily from the skull of Houtu, supplemented by over a hundred types of precious materials; it increases the power of Earth Element skills by seventy percent, comes with a Gravity effect, and as long as one stands on the ground, it condenses the nearby Earth Turbid Qi to form a layer of earth barrier to resist a certain amount of damage.

Li Zhangsheng had not expected to harvest a Semi-Artifact, but thinking about it, he felt it was only natural; after all, no matter what, Spirit King Liu Yongtu was a King, so how could the Treasures carried by his Demon Pets be poor?

Li Zhangsheng naturally gave this Houtu Turbid Qi Tower to Adai to carry.

As for the other five Top-Grade Treasures, there were two fine pieces among them, but they were of no use to Li Zhangsheng, so he gave them all to Ning Bizhen.

Besides these, from Liu Xuguang, Li Zhangsheng obtained a Space Ring, a jade pendant, an earth-yellow precious armor with a glazed appearance, and an Intermediate Monster Pet Bag.

He skipped the Space Ring for now and could directly ignore the Intermediate Monster Pet Bag; the earth-yellow precious armor with a glazed appearance was precisely the Rock Glazed Armor, a type of armor Li Zhangsheng had once obtained from Liu Zongtang, and if nothing went wrong, the Langya Liu Clan possessed the formula for forging this armor.

However, Li Zhangsheng did not value it highly; after all, although the defensive power of the Rock Glazed Armor was strong, there was still a significant gap between it and the Ancestral Dragon Scale Armor.

At this moment, Li Zhangsheng picked up the jade pendant.

This was a jade pendant slightly smaller than an adult's palm, containing two distinct mists of milky white and pitch black, giving one a strange feeling.

However, when Li Zhangsheng received the feedback from his Mental Power, he was stunned for a moment, and then a look of wild joy appeared on his face.

Asking for monthly votes on the first day of the month, thank you!
