Chapter 260 Special Effects of the Second Floating Island
Under Li Ping's conscious gaze.
Not far from the first gray floating island, a second floating island of roughly the same size emerged from nothingness.
"What's the use of this floating island?" Li Ping asked curiously.
On the first floating island lies the Tree of Inheritance, which is the true entity, while the floating island serves as its foundation.
But there was nothing above the second floating island; all you could see was the bare ground.
"Whoosh~"
As the evolution of the purple aura space came to an end, Li Ping also received information about the island in his consciousness.
"It's time acceleration." He checked the message coming from his consciousness, his eyes filled with ecstatic joy.
According to the message transmitted through consciousness, the time flow rate on the second floating island is 1000:1 compared to the time flow rate in the real world.
In other words, a day that passes outside is equivalent to a thousand days passing on the floating island, and a year that passes outside is equivalent to a thousand years passing on the floating island!
Li Ping's first thought was whether he could enter the floating island to cultivate.
After all, if he could enter the floating island to cultivate, wouldn't his cultivation speed be a thousand times faster than that of other cultivators?
But he quickly shook his head: "It's true that the cultivation speed is a thousand times faster, but the life force also decreases a thousand times faster. This kind of accelerated cultivation is actually exchanging life for cultivation, which is not very meaningful."
But he quickly thought of something else.
This kind of accelerated cultivation is very useful when one is in seclusion. For example, if he plans to be in seclusion for a hundred years, then he can directly enter the floating island to cultivate, and only a little over a month will have passed in the real world.
With such a short time, there is absolutely no need to worry about missing out on opportunities from the outside world while in seclusion.
As for regular practice, this technique is not very useful.
After all, the bottlenecks faced by cultivators cannot be broken through simply by going into seclusion, especially the major bottlenecks, which can be overcome even after hundreds of years of seclusion.
To break through, one must seek out various opportunities.
With a thousand thoughts swirling in his mind, Li Ping found it impossible to enter the floating island in his true form when he tried.
Clearly, all his previous thoughts had been wasted.
"People can't get in, but objects should be able to."
With that thought in mind, Li Ping took out a piece of clothing worn by ordinary people from his storage bag, focused his consciousness on it, and kept urging, "Go in, go in, go in!"
next moment--
Whoosh!
Under Li Ping's watchful gaze, the garment vanished into thin air.
When he looked at the gray floating island in his mind again, he found that the clothes were right in the center of the island.
"They really went in!" Li Ping was slightly surprised, and his mind was also focused on the clothes that had landed on the floating island.
There was no change for a moment, and no change for two moments either... until about an hour later, Li Ping could clearly see that the surface of the white garment had become slightly grayish.
One hour in the outside world is equivalent to a thousand hours, or more than eighty days, passing on the floating island.
After such a long time, only the surface color of this garment has faded a bit.
Li Ping could only say that the quality of the clothes was quite good.
"I wonder if spiritual herbs can be grown on this island. If they can, then we can take off right here. If they can't, then it won't be very useful." After finishing the experiment, Li Ping couldn't help but show a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Whoosh!
He moved the clothes out of the gray floating island again, and then took out a jade-like spiritual herb about a foot tall from his storage bag.
Nearly a hundred years ago, while exploring the spiritual veins beneath Xiaomei Mountain, he obtained a spiritual herb over a thousand years old called "Bi Ning Cao," also known as "Yin Yao Cao."
Demon-attracting herbs that are over ten years old begin to bear bloodline fruits, which greatly benefit demons by purifying their own bloodlines.
The golden bloodline fruit produced by the thousand-year-old Jade Condensation Grass can even greatly benefit the cultivation of ordinary third-tier demon beasts.
Unfortunately, Li Ping used that Jade Condensation Grass as nourishment to feed the Tree of Inheritance.
Fortunately, Li Ping knew the value of the Jade Condensation Grass and specially left the seeds before feeding it to the Tree of Inheritance.
With careful cultivation, it has now been about a hundred years.
Holding the green grass in his hands, he poured his mind into it.
Whoosh!
The Jade Grass vanished into thin air. When Li Ping looked at the floating island in the Purple Qi Space again, he found that the Jade Grass had indeed reappeared on the island.
After some effort, he finally managed to plant the Jade Grass.
"You can't tell the difference between spiritual herbs in a short time." Li Ping didn't pay much attention to the planted Jade Condensation Grass, but planned to observe it carefully a year later.
After planting the spiritual herbs, he reached into his storage bag, took out a silver metal plate, and pondered for a moment.
This silver metal plate was obtained from Yan Liming's storage bag about sixty years ago when he killed Yan Liming after he had possessed him.
What is recorded above is actually the method for crafting a magical artifact with incredible power called the "Zhou Tian Xing Chen Banner".
Because the spiritual materials required to refine this treasure are extremely precious, a single refinement requires the production of a complete set of 365 Star Banners.
Furthermore, according to the refining method recorded on the metal plate, the Star Banner must be made from spirit wood containing star attributes, and the older the wood and the higher the grade of the spirit material, the greater the power of the Star Banner.
With a tap of your finger, you are instantly transported to the spectacular world of the second floating island in Chapter 259.
He originally did not expect to use this treasure as his natal magic weapon.
After all, even a Nascent Soul cultivator would find it difficult to gather all the spiritual materials needed for refining.
For a Core Formation cultivator like him to create the Star Banner is probably just a pipe dream.
But if, as he suspected, the second gray floating island could accelerate the growth of spiritual herbs, then he might be able to use the crafting method for the set of magical treasures, the "Zhou Tian Xing Chen Banner," recorded on the metal plate.
Moreover, he can use the finest 100,000-year-old spirit wood to refine it!
With such precious spiritual materials as the base, these Star Banners, without the need for alchemical fire or essence refinement, are likely comparable in power to top-tier magic treasures.
By then, being invincible among those of the same level will truly be a reality!
"If we could obtain those legendary spiritual materials and plant them on Gray Island for a hundred years..." Li Ping couldn't help but grin as he imagined the scene.
However, spirit wood imbued with the power of stars is already rare in the world. Li Ping was unwilling to simply use ordinary star spirit wood for refining.
"If Gray Island can accelerate the growth of spirit trees, then after I form my core, I won't need to rush to refine magic weapons." Li Ping made up his mind: "I'll go to the Great Zhou first. As one of the most important cultivation holy lands in this world, it's not impossible to find those legendary exotic star trees."
When it comes to crafting one's natal magic weapon, Li Ping prefers quality over quantity.
However, not refining his own natal magic weapon does not mean that Li Ping has no magic weapons available.
Putting aside his excitement for the moment, he patted the storage bag at his waist.
brush!
A small, black sword shaped like a willow leaf appeared in his hand.
This small black sword was also obtained by Li Ping from Yan Liming's storage bag; it was Yan Liming's natal magic weapon, which he had painstakingly cultivated for hundreds of years.
Previously, Li Ping was only a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and his magical power was completely insufficient to refine and control this magic weapon.
Now that he has successfully formed his core and become a True Person, he can use the internal fire to refine this treasure.
Although this Devouring Yuan Sword is Yan Liming's natal magic weapon, and it has been refined by Yan Liming with Dan Fire and essence, other Core Formation cultivators can only unleash no more than 70% of its power even if they refine it, and they cannot further enhance the power of the magic weapon.
But it's enough for Li Ping to use temporarily.
With the magic weapon, his combat strength wouldn't be much different from that of an ordinary Core Formation cultivator.
Besides the Devouring Yuan Sword magic weapon, he also possesses a Blood Sword Talisman obtained from Hua Hong, whose power is also at the Core Formation level, and can be used in battles between Core Formation cultivators.
After pondering this, Li Ping smiled slightly, opened his mouth and spat out a ball of golden flame, which landed on the Devouring Yuan Sword and began to be slowly refined.
……
one year later.
Li Ping finally managed to refine the Devouring Yuan Sword to a preliminary stage, expelling the aura left by Yan Liming on it, and was able to barely control this magical weapon.
At the same time, as his consciousness sank into his mind, he saw a scene that surprised and delighted him.
On Gray Island.
The jade-green herb, over a foot tall, stretched its branches and leaves slightly, and on one of its branches was a thumb-sized, golden fruit that looked as if it were cast in gold, radiating a luster.
A thousand-year-old Jade Grass and a thousand-year-old Bloodline Fruit!
Just as Li Ping had guessed, the gray floating island could accelerate the growth of spiritual herbs and ignored the spiritual vein conditions required by the herbs!
Or rather, there exists a spiritual environment on the gray island that allows thousand-year-old spiritual herbs to grow!
"My natal magic weapon is finally secured!" Li Ping was overjoyed. "From now on, this will be my portable medicine garden!"
He took the Azure Grass from the gray island, opened his mouth slightly, and swallowed the Devouring Yuan Sword directly into his stomach.
Immediately afterwards, Li Ping took out several spiritual herbs from his storage bag and planted them on the gray island. Most of these spiritual herbs were the main ingredients for refining pills that could enhance cultivation.
After achieving the Core Formation, he planned to dissipate his cultivation and start anew.
Now, refine more high-quality pills so that you can return to the Core Formation stage in a short time.
To Li Ping's dismay, the area of Gray Island was too small, and even if he planted at a high density, he could only plant a maximum of ten spiritual herbs at the same time.
"Ten plants it is, that's enough for me!" Li Ping sighed.
After doing all this, he closed his eyes and continued to refine the Devouring Yuan Sword with the Dan Fire and Essence.
Spending a year to initially refine a magic weapon is not enough; to make the magic weapon work perfectly with your own body, you need to spend even more time refining it.
Time passed slowly as he refined the Devouring Yuan Sword, and another year went by without him realizing it.
Li Ping immediately checked the spiritual herbs planted on the gray island. According to his original expectations, the ten spiritual herbs he planted should have reached a thousand years old.
To verify his suspicions, he moved five of the ten medicinal herbs off Gray Island, leaving only the other five.
He speculated that perhaps the flow of time on Gray Island was being distributed among the spiritual herbs planted there. A single spiritual herb could have a flow of time of a thousand years, so planting two would reduce the flow of time to only five hundred years for each herb, and planting five would reduce the flow of time of each herb to only two hundred years.
So he planted ten spiritual herbs before, but the time flow of each spiritual herb was only a hundred years!
