Chapter 973: Five-Colored Stone (First update, requesting everything)

Sub-level Kunpeng: A super-giant Spirit Beast possessing two forms: Kun fish and Peng bird. The Kun fish form has a massive body, is robust and sturdy, has thick skin and flesh, and possesses particularly outstanding strength; it is extremely fast in water and has the ability of Turning Rivers and Seas. The Peng bird form has reduced strength and physique, but its speed and agility rise sharply; it is extremely fast in flight and has the ability of Soaring in the Nine Heavens.

Li Zhangsheng began to communicate mentally with Datou, receiving the inheritance information Datou had obtained this time.

This time, Datou had obtained a portion of the inheritance originating from the Kunpeng Bloodline; its characteristics remained unchanged, and it primarily gained two inheritance skills.

Mountain-Toppling and Sea-Overturning: A Kun fish inheritance skill. It uses the massive fish body to alter the underwater environment; the smaller the enemy, the greater the damage they sustain.

Peng Soaring in the Nine Heavens: A Peng bird inheritance skill. It significantly boosts speed, explosive power, and evasion ability for a short period.

Li Zhangsheng was quite satisfied with these two inheritance skills; the Kun fish form enhanced underwater combat capability, while the Peng bird form further highlighted the advantage in speed.

Because there was no underwater environment in the backyard to accommodate the Kun fish, Datou transformed back into its Peng bird form.

After spending some time affectionately with Datou, Li Zhangsheng summoned it into the Secret Realm.

Ever since he obtained the Secret Realm, Li Zhangsheng no longer had to worry about training grounds; he specifically designated a large piece of barren land within the Secret Realm to train this group of increasingly massive Demon Pets.

Besides this, he also spent quite a few resources ordering some large-scale equipment to improve their training results.

After recalling Datou, Li Zhangsheng checked the progress of the Gate of Light and Darkness.

At this very moment, that mass of Abyss Consciousness from the shattered Black Lotus had been completely purified, transforming into a small mass of World Power.

As for the Abyss Consciousness from the shattered Glazed Bottle, it was much more Vigorous, so the purification speed was naturally much slower, though it was now nearing its end.

In addition to the purified World Power, there was also a certain amount of Merit Profound Yellow Qi; Li Zhangsheng took the lion's share, while Ning Bizhen took the smaller portion.

Hmm, while Li Zhangsheng was recovering his Mental Power, the Gate of Light and Darkness was operated by Ning Bizhen on his behalf, though the efficiency was far inferior to Li Zhangsheng's.

Li Zhangsheng took out that small mass of World Power; this time, he did not fuse it into the Secret Realm, but instead prepared to use it to attempt refining, to see if it would be of any help to refining.

"Kailan, add some to your alchemy and see! Also, watch your safety!"

Li Zhangsheng thought for a moment and divided a bit of World Power to give to Kailan.

For the sake of safety, Li Zhangsheng specifically activated several relatively special Restrictions; after all, attempting to fuse World Power into refining and alchemy could not guarantee that danger would not arise.

After preparations were complete, Li Zhangsheng took out the Five Phoenix Pan Wang Cauldron and began to add some refining materials.

These refining materials could be considered high-quality, but none reached the Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure Grade, and most came from the Imperial Treasury.

This was, after all, just an experiment, and Li Zhangsheng did not dare to use materials that were too precious, otherwise the loss would be too great if he failed.

Once these materials had finished melting, Li Zhangsheng cautiously separated a wisp of World Power and cast it into the mass of materials.

At the same time, the Sun Moon Shuttle Heavy Light Wheel appeared above Li Zhangsheng's head, and a gold and silver barrier wrapped around him.

Just like putting a red-hot iron block into water, the moment the World Power was cast in, a quite intense reaction occurred between the two, followed immediately by an explosion.

Boom—

Accompanied by a loud roaring sound, the Five Phoenix Pan Wang Cauldron was blown flying, and a shockwave swept in all directions, though it was entirely neutralized by the Restrictions.

Boom—

Coincidentally, Kailan's Liandalu was also blown flying.

A World Tree Projection appeared above Kailan's head; when she cast in the World Power, she had directly deployed the World Tree's Guard, so it was naturally impossible for her to be affected.

Li Zhangsheng caught the Five Phoenix Pan Wang Cauldron and checked it carefully; upon discovering that the Five Phoenix Pan Wang Cauldron was only slightly damaged, he could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

No matter what, this was a Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure Grade refining cauldron, and more importantly, refining cauldrons of this rank were not easy to find.

Of course, Li Zhangsheng was a top-tier Refining Master; as long as the materials were sufficient, he could naturally refine a refining cauldron of this rank, but compared to ordinary objects, the refining coefficient for refining cauldrons was clearly much higher.

Compared to the Five Phoenix Pan Wang Cauldron, the quality of Kailan's Liandalu was much worse, and it was blown into two halves.

"Eh, what is this?"

At this moment, Li Zhangsheng exclaimed in surprise; he had discovered a stone radiating five colors, along with a large amount of ash, inside the Liandalu that had been blown into two halves.

This was a stone only the size of an adult's fist, warm to the touch, with a surface shimmering with brilliant colors, radiating five colors: gold, green, blue, red, and yellow.

Li Zhangsheng sensed it carefully and discovered that this Five-Colored Stone possessed the five attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and these five attributes were in a state of Endless Life, creating a perfect cycle.

From the feedback of his Mental Power, this Five-Colored Stone had reached the Heavenly Essence Grade.

The next moment, Li Zhangsheng hurriedly checked the interior of the Five Phoenix Pan Wang Cauldron, but he did not find such a Five-Colored Stone; there was only a large pile of ash.

Li Zhangsheng was completely baffled and could not understand why his Five Phoenix Pan Wang Cauldron had not produced such a Five-Colored Stone; could it be that this had something to do with alchemy?

Besides this, there was his confusion regarding this Five-Colored Stone; even if he searched through his memories, he could not find any records concerning the Five-Colored Stone, not even anything similar.

Li Zhangsheng looked at Kailan, who was looking at her Liandalu with a pained expression, and asked, "Kailan, what Alchemical Pill were you refining just now?"

"A high-level Alchemical Pill—Beauty Nourishing Pill!"

The Beauty Nourishing Pill is different from the Beauty-Fixing Pill; the Beauty Nourishing Pill can make the skin smoother and compensate for certain flaws, while the former increases charm, and the latter is equivalent to constant charm.

The formula for the Beauty Nourishing Pill was obtained from the Imperial Treasury; there were also many other formulas, all of which had been handed over to Kailan by Li Zhangsheng.

"What materials does the Beauty Nourishing Pill require?"

"Dingxin Grass, Wheel Fruit, Earth Stone..."

Kailan was intimately familiar with the materials for the Beauty Nourishing Pill and recited them directly.

There were dozens of materials in total; Li Zhangsheng carefully recalled the attributes of these materials.

"Could it be because it possesses all five elements?"

Among these dozens of materials, there were indeed some that possessed the attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Li Zhangsheng recalled the materials he had cast in when he was refining just now; due to habit, he had mostly cast in materials of the same attribute, which did not meet the condition of possessing all five elements at all.

Once he thought of this, Li Zhangsheng had the idea to experiment again.

Of course, the prerequisite for everything was to repair the Five Phoenix Pan Wang Cauldron.

The Five Phoenix Pan Wang Cauldron was only slightly damaged, and with Li Zhangsheng's refining ability, the difficulty of repairing it was not high.
