Chapter 343 Treasure Refining Plan and Teleportation
Standing on a speeding airship.
A smile appeared in Li Ping's eyes.
This time, he spent several days at the place where the fourth-tier Fiery Arrow Eagle was undergoing its tribulation, and found a fourth-tier tail feather and three third-tier high-grade miscellaneous feathers. The harvest was not bad.
He had been considering what spiritual materials to use to forge the Wildfire Sparrow's natal magic weapon, and now he had it.
In fact, many fourth-tier demon beasts, after learning human treasure-refining techniques, choose a part of their own body that shed after they transformed into human form as the main material to create their natal magic weapons.
In this way, not only can one obtain a powerful magic weapon, but since the materials used to refine the magic weapon are also part of oneself, it is also easier to cultivate to the state of perfect harmony between mind and spirit.
Such a natal magic weapon can exert power that surpasses that of natal magic weapons made from other materials.
For example, bull demons can refine their horns into their natal magic weapons, and turtle demons can also refine their turtle shells into their natal magic weapons.
The legendary ancient spirit peacock refined its five tail feathers into the magical artifact "Five-Colored Divine Light," which can sweep away almost all magical artifacts and weapons within the five elements, and can be said to have broken through all five elements, demonstrating its formidable power.
The fourth-tier Fiery Arrow Eagle is the father of the Wildfire Sparrow in terms of bloodline. Its tail feathers and mixed feathers, which contain its essence blood, are naturally close to the Wildfire Sparrow and are not much different from the spiritual feathers that grow on the Wildfire Sparrow's own body.
Using the four spirit feathers obtained from the Fiery Arrow Eagle as the main material, a natal magic weapon will be crafted for the Wildfire Sparrow. Presumably, it will soon be able to refine it to the point of perfect harmony.
With its natal magic weapon, the Wildfire Sparrow, relying on the power of the "Evil-Slaying Spirit Flame," might be able to overpower a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator in the Demonic Path.
Considering that the Fiery Arrow Eagle has already been turned into a barbecue.
These four spirit feathers could be considered "father's last love" for the Wildfire Sparrow.
However, Li Ping was still pondering what kind of magical artifact to refine.
When crafting magical artifacts, one must consider two things: the properties of the materials and their characteristics.
There's no need to worry about attributes. The Wildfire Sparrow is a fire-attribute spirit bird of heaven and earth, and these four spirit feathers are the most suitable for it.
It mainly depends on the characteristics of the material. For example, a precious metal like Golden Wood would be a waste if used to make a magic weapon like a shield. Only when it is refined into an offensive magic weapon can it be considered to make the most of the material.
Similarly, it is obviously unsuitable to use soft materials like spirit feathers to forge magical artifacts such as flying swords and shields, as doing so would not bring out the characteristics of spirit feathers at all.
Although Li Ping inherited the third-tier mid-grade weapon-refining skills of True Man Liehuo, True Man Liehuo spent his entire life in the Western Wilderness, so his knowledge was not actually that great.
Therefore, after searching his memory for a long time, he still couldn't find a suitable option.
After some thought, he finally had no choice but to wake up Gaoji Daoist, who was in seclusion in the Jiezi World, and ask him for advice.
Gaoji Daoist has lived for over a thousand years. To avenge the annihilation of his family, he even traveled to the Great Zhou Dynasty in the form of a puppet. In terms of the breadth of his knowledge, he was in no way inferior to some Nascent Soul stage old monsters.
Xiao Yunzhi's creation of the "Sun and Moon Ring" and Li Ping's creation of the "Dragon-Slaying Guillotine" were both inspired by him.
Li Ping hoped that he could also offer some advice for the Wildfire Sparrow.
Upon hearing that Li Ping had actually obtained the tail feathers of a fourth-tier demonic bird, Daoist Gaoji was somewhat surprised: "Even Nascent Soul cultivators would find it difficult to obtain materials of this caliber, yet you are willing to use them to refine a natal magic weapon for a spirit beast."
Li Ping smiled and nodded: "Thank you for your trouble, senior."
"Hehe... I must say, Fellow Daoist Li, you are really lucky. It was one thing to get a ten-thousand-year-old Golden Profound Wood before, but now you can even get your hands on the tail feathers of a fourth-order demonic bird." Daoist Gaoji couldn't help but sigh at Li Ping's good luck.
He lived up to his reputation as a knowledgeable old monster, and did not disappoint Li Ping.
After a long pause, he continued, "The Record of Wonders of the Universe records that a great being in ancient times used the feathers of seven birds—phoenix, blue luan, roc, peacock, white crane, swan, and owl—plus five kinds of spiritual fire: fire in the air, fire in stone, fire in wood, samadhi fire, and fire in the human world, to create a magical treasure called the 'Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan'."
"This magical treasure excels at breaking formations and is effective against treasures made of metal and wood."
Upon hearing this, Li Ping was somewhat surprised: "Phoenix, Azure Luan... these spirit birds are all true spirits, right? How could someone forcibly pluck their feathers?"
"Who knows?" Daoist Gaoji was also uncertain. "Perhaps the material used by that powerful being came from a spirit bird with true spiritual bloodline. In any case, your feather is most suitable for crafting magical treasures like the treasure fan."
Li Ping nodded, agreeing with Gaoji Daoist's statement.
The Wildfire Sparrow's own spiritual flames possess the ability to break formations. If we can replicate the "Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan" to forge a natal magic weapon for it, the effect of breaking formations will definitely not be bad.
However, Li Ping only had one feather from a fourth-tier demonic bird and three miscellaneous feathers. If he used them as the main materials to refine a magic weapon, its power would probably not even reach the level of the "Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan".
Li Ping was, after all, a mid-grade third-tier weapon-refining master. After Gaoji Daoist pointed him in the right direction, he quickly had a general idea of how to refine the magic fan.
I pondered this all the way, several days later.
The flying boat hovered above the ruins of the teleportation array. Li Ping looked at the female cultivator behind him and said, "Wan Jun, we've arrived. Let's get off now."
As he spoke, he had already waved his hand and put the flying boat away.
Then he flew downwards with Meng Wanjun.
Meng Wanjun looked at the elegant figure ahead, her eyes full of doubt: "Weren't you going to the Great Zhou? What are you doing here?"
But she knew that the young master had a deeper meaning in his actions, and she only needed to obey. Therefore, although she had doubts in her heart, she did not ask them.
Flying into the underground cavern, Li Ping saw that the concealment formation he had set up was intact, and nodded slightly, revealing a satisfied smile.
He led Meng Wanjun into the formation, ignoring her curious gaze, and took out the teleportation array components he had disassembled last time from his storage bag, carefully assembling them one by one.
Half a day has passed.
Looking at the assembled octagonal teleportation array in front of her, Meng Wanjun's eyes widened in surprise. Then she saw the young master take out a handful of spirit stones from his storage bag and fill them into the grooves reserved on the octagonal teleportation array.
"Young Master, is this a teleportation array?" Meng Wanjun finally couldn't help but ask.
Li Ping looked up at her, somewhat surprised, and said, "Oh? You know about teleportation arrays?"
"Of course, teleportation arrays are a must-have item in many picture books and novels." Meng Wanjun said with a smile, "When the protagonist in a novel offends a powerful enemy he can't afford to offend, he will take a teleportation array to escape far away, and then return to take revenge when he has enough strength."
After saying that, she asked in confusion, "Young master, does this mean we've also encountered a powerful enemy and need to run away?"
Li Ping shook his head: "Your young master is focused on health preservation and dislikes fighting with others. How could he offend a powerful enemy? The main reason we are going to the Great Zhou is to make further progress in the path of immortality."
Li Ping wasn't making excuses.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't find the three spiritual materials—Golden Dew, Supreme Yang Wood, and Eight Treasures Spiritual Spring Water—in the Western Wilderness, which hindered his breakthrough to the third stage of Body Refinement, he really wouldn't have gone to the Great Zhou so early.
We should at least wait until we reach the mid-stage of Core Formation before we talk about it.
After all, given the choice, who would willingly leave their hometown?
Although he had offended both the Hehuan Sect and the Blood Shadow Sect, they were unaware that Li Jingyu was his alias.
Meng Wanjun nodded, and Li Ping's voice came from beside her: "Come on, we're about to teleport."
"Oh, okay, young master." Meng Wanjun quickly flew to the octagonal teleportation array and stood side by side with Li Ping.
As Li Ping solemnly cast the incantation—
hum~
A hazy glow shone from the eight corners of the teleportation array, enveloping the two people, making their figures appear unusually indistinct in the hazy light.
brush!
The two figures vanished suddenly in the hazy light.
Unbeknownst to anyone, they had already left this cultivation world through the teleportation array.
……
After the teleportation began, Li Ping felt a dizzying sensation in front of him, and when he was back on solid ground...
Before he could even check his surroundings, he flicked his sleeve, and a cyan shield flew out from within. It grew larger in the wind, instantly becoming over ten feet tall, completely shielding him and Meng Wanjun behind him to prevent a surprise attack.
Fortunately, the teleportation array was safe and there was no danger.
Li Ping looked around.
They found themselves standing on an ancient octagonal teleportation array of the same design.
As for the octagonal teleportation array itself, it was located in a pitch-black cave.
Li Ping took out a lighting artifact and illuminated the surrounding environment. Only then did he see that the walls of the cave were all made of bluish-gray rocks, as if it were inside a mountain somewhere.
To the left of the teleportation array, there was a faint flow of air, which should be the exit of the cave.
After letting Meng Wanjun step off the teleportation array, Li Ping didn't rush to leave. Instead, he began to dismantle the octagonal teleportation array in front of him.
He didn't know if anyone else besides himself knew the location of this teleportation array.
Because the teleportation array in the Western Wilderness was destroyed, even if someone in the Great Zhou Dynasty knew about this teleportation array, they couldn't use it at all.
But now, he has repaired the teleportation array in the Western Wilderness. If anyone discovers this place, they can be teleported directly to the Western Wilderness.
Li Ping dismantled the teleportation array on the Great Zhou side not because he was stingy and didn't want others to use it.
His concern was that someone might betray him after they've been transported to the Western Wilderness, and then destroy the teleportation array there. If that happened, he would regret it too late.
For Li Ping, if he were to offend a Nascent Soul cultivator in the Great Zhou Dynasty, this teleportation array would be his last resort, and he would never allow anyone to destroy it.
So, just to be on the safe side, he decided to dismantle the teleportation array on the Great Zhou side.
Anyway, the disassembled teleportation array components are all in his storage bag, and he can reassemble them when he needs to use them.
Half a day later, Li Ping finally managed to perfectly disassemble all the teleportation array components and put them into his own storage bag.
He then smiled and looked at Meng Wanjun: "Let's go, let's see what the differences are between the Great Zhou and the Western Wilderness."
As he spoke, he tossed Meng Wanjun another jade slip: "The language of the Western Wilderness is different from that of the Great Zhou. You should learn the language of the Great Zhou first."
As for himself, he had already learned the language of the Great Zhou Dynasty long ago.
