Chapter 918: The Spirit Refinement Method: Invite the Prince into the Urn (First update, requesting all)

However, this did not exceed the expectations of Treasure King Mo Tu; after all, if he were Li Zhangsheng, he would do the same.

"This, because the Treasure Basin is damaged, it cannot be refined for the time being."

Under these circumstances, Treasure King could only find an excuse.

"The Treasure Basin is the Treasure Basin, and you are you; the object I want to refine is you!"

Li Zhangsheng shook his head. He did not need an Artifact Spirit that was not under his control, especially since he discovered during the recent probing that this Artifact Spirit was likely Treasure King.

Treasure King felt inexplicably panicked, wanting to force himself to calm down and find a solution.

It was just that forcibly transforming an Artifact Spirit had great drawbacks; not only was his thinking speed far inferior to his prime, but he would also occasionally experience freezing.

It was precisely because of these drawbacks that Li Zhangsheng was able to find loopholes during their exchange, thereby suspecting that the Artifact Spirit was Treasure King.

Of course, suspicion was just suspicion; he still could not confirm it.

"This is not impossible. I happen to know a rather special refining technique that can allow a Monster Tamer and an Artifact Spirit to reach a state of spiritual unity, which can better unleash the Strange Treasure's capabilities."

Seeing there was no other way, Treasure King Mo Tu chose to settle for the next best thing.

Li Zhangsheng feigned interest and said, "What kind of refining technique is it?"

"This refining technique is called the Spirit Refinement Method. Through the method of Soul Grafting, a connection is established between the Monster Tamer's soul and the Artifact Spirit. However, to complete the Spirit Refinement Method, both the Monster Tamer and the Artifact Spirit must open their hearts simultaneously."

Treasure King tempted him step by step. Naturally, he could not be content to be subordinate to others; furthermore, he was once a Double-Character King, and even if he had become an Artifact Spirit now, he did not want to be controlled by a Pseudo-King.

Thus, Treasure King decided to use a devious method to finish off Li Zhangsheng.

Li Zhangsheng's strength was very high, and Treasure King was very clear about this point, but he did not believe the other party would have no flaws, especially regarding the soul.

Before becoming a King, a Monster Tamer's soul strength could almost never reach the level of a King, because the soul quality of the two was completely unequal.

Even though Treasure King had become an Artifact Spirit and his soul strength was far inferior to his prime, it was definitely still stronger than an ordinary Pseudo-King, which brought him confidence.

"This is the incantation for the Spirit Refinement Method!"

Treasure King was afraid that Li Zhangsheng would not use it, so he hurriedly spoke the incantation and operation method of the Spirit Refinement Method.

Li Zhangsheng listened quietly. Although he was only a Pseudo-King, he possessed the memories of the first Principal, Spirit King Liu Yongtu, and Flame King Di Zhiyi. It could be said that he had dabbled in various kinds of knowledge and possessed a certain degree of insight.

After memorizing the incantation and operation method of the Spirit Refinement Method, Li Zhangsheng suddenly had a sense of familiarity, because the memory of the first Principal happened to contain this Spirit Refinement Method.

After digging this Spirit Refinement Method out from the first Principal's memories, because none of his treasures had an Artifact Spirit, Li Zhangsheng had not paid much attention to it.

Li Zhangsheng silently compared the differences between the two and even checked them several times, finding no differences between them. He did not know if the Treasure Basin's Artifact Spirit was sincere or had other ideas.

Treasure King Mo Tu did not tamper with the Spirit Refinement Method to avoid alerting the enemy; besides, he only needed Li Zhangsheng to open his mind.

"Then let us perform the Spirit Refinement Method!"

Li Zhangsheng still harbored the intention of probing, because in the first Principal's memories, there existed another technique. If the Treasure Basin's Artifact Spirit resisted, he would activate this technique, which could cause a backlash to the Artifact Spirit.

Besides this, Li Zhangsheng also had absolute confidence in his soul defenses; at the very worst, he could retreat unscathed.

If the Artifact Spirit accepted it, then he could accept it as a matter of course, because after the Spirit Refinement Method succeeded, the Artifact Spirit could not only not disobey his will but could also better unleash the power of the Treasure Basin.

This was also a matter of no choice. He still could not confirm that the Artifact Spirit was Treasure King. Unless absolutely necessary, he did not have the idea of finishing off the Artifact Spirit, because the Artifact Spirit and the Treasure Basin had a very deep connection; if the Artifact Spirit perished, the Treasure Basin would inevitably be severely damaged.

If the already damaged Treasure Basin were to be severely damaged again, it might lead to a collapse.

Li Zhangsheng's right hand touched the Treasure Basin. After operating the technique of the Spirit Refinement Method, a cold and chilly feeling surged into his heart.

The next moment, Li Zhangsheng 'saw' a crystal body; this was precisely Treasure King's soul crystal.

Only after becoming a King could one condense a soul crystal, and the soul crystal strength of a Double-Character King was stronger than that of a King.

However, Treasure King's soul crystal was damaged beyond repair, missing about 1/3 of it, causing the entire soul crystal to be severely unbalanced, making it impossible to exert its full ability.

The moment he 'saw' this soul crystal, Li Zhangsheng had already confirmed that the Treasure Basin's Artifact Spirit was indeed Treasure King.

Because no matter how powerful an Artifact Spirit was, it could not condense a soul crystal, as this was a technique unique to Monster Tamers. Even if an Artifact Spirit learned it, it could not condense one.

In an instant, Treasure King's soul crystal drilled directly along the channel constructed by the Spirit Refinement Method into Li Zhangsheng's Consciousness Sea.

"The fish has taken the bait!"

Li Zhangsheng was not alarmed but delighted. He had prepared two plans. The first plan was naturally that Treasure King was willing to be refined by him, from then on obeying his orders and acting like a grandfather figure.

The second plan was to Invite the Prince into the Urn, letting Treasure King voluntarily leave the Treasure Basin and enter his Consciousness Sea; otherwise, if Treasure King was determined to hide in the Treasure Basin, Li Zhangsheng really would not have many ways to deal with him.

Even if Dark Night King Dou Cangqiong exerted his full strength to cast a curse, he did not harm Li Zhangsheng, let alone Treasure King, who was far from his peak and had no help from artifacts.

Additionally, Treasure King's research into the soul was not as good as Dark Night King's, and it was even possible it was not as good as Li Zhangsheng's. After all, Flame King Di Zhiyi and Spirit King Liu Yongtu were also Kings who had deeply studied the soul, and the first Principal had rich theoretical knowledge; the combination of the three might not necessarily be inferior to Treasure King.

"Damn it, what is this!!!"

In Li Zhangsheng's Consciousness Sea, Treasure King's astonished voice rang out.

From the essence of the soul, although Li Zhangsheng's soul was much more condensed than that of an ordinary top-tier Pseudo-King, it had not reached the level of a soul crystal after all.

However, Li Zhangsheng had too many means to resist soul attacks, which made Treasure King's scalp tingle.

Besides the Original Light he had seen before protecting Li Zhangsheng's soul, Li Zhangsheng's soul was also covered by a transparent thin film, and there were three light spheres—one large and two small—guarding the surroundings; Treasure King could see the terrifying figures inside the light spheres.

Besides this, a dark golden Copper Bell rushed out from Li Zhangsheng's soul light sphere, and a deafening bell sound rang out.
