Chapter 160: Refining the Life Magical Treasure
Since ancient times, those who came to this mountain to search for refining materials would only break a restriction, take the materials inside, and then be teleported away.
But Ye Changsheng was different. He decided to try something else.
The gold-eating bugs were released and divided into six groups. They lay on the tops of the six stone pillars and began to frantically bite the forbidden spiritual light.
Their movements were synchronized with Ye Changsheng, and the amount of restriction they consumed was controlled to almost the same degree each time.
Ye Changsheng wanted to take away all the refining materials on the tops of all the remaining stone pillars here at once.
There are seven stone pillars, each with seven different refining materials stored on the top.
Each one is a top-level refining material that would attract thousands of people in the world of immortal cultivation.
Any one of them could be auctioned for millions or even tens of millions of spirit stones.
For example, that piece of Gengjin, which is as big as a human head, will drive those sword cultivators crazy.
The same goes for the Nine Heavens Purple Jade. A palm-sized piece of Nine Heavens Purple Jade is worth more than one million spirit stones, which is completely enough for Ye Changsheng to refine a magic weapon.
This extremely precious refining material may only be found in this place in the entire human world.
If all these things were taken away, Ye Changsheng’s gains this time would be truly immeasurable.
The purple small sword flickered with light, and it continuously slashed out sword energy, colliding with the restriction and dissipating the restriction's light.
The restrictions here are extremely powerful.
On each stone pillar, from the bottom to the top, the value of the refining materials stored gradually increases, and the protective restrictions become more and more powerful.
The location of this mountain itself is such that when people come here, only 20% of their magic power is left.
Then we have to break through these restrictions, and you can imagine how difficult it is.
In the past hundreds of thousands of years, there have been quite a few Jindan cultivators who came here.
But most people just managed to break through the lowest level of restrictions and take away a piece of refining material.
There are very few people who can break through the top restrictions.
"Judging from the strength of this restriction, I'm afraid only cultivators who have cultivated to the late Jindan stage can consider this top restriction!"
"In the early stage of Jindan, it is already very difficult to break through the lowest restriction!"
"With my magical power, even at its peak, if I don't have this ancient treasure in my hand, it would be impossible for me to break the restriction that is guarding the Nine Heavens Purple Jade!" Ye Changsheng thought to himself.
With his cultivation level at the initial stage of Jindan, it was really a bit early for him to break into this ruins.
However, there is no other way to refine his own magic weapon.
Fortunately, I brought the gold-eating bug this time.
Ye Changsheng continued to release sword energy to bombard the restriction, while also carefully controlling the gold-eating insects to devour the light of the restriction.
Time passed minute by minute, and Ye Changsheng stopped many times to swallow pills to replenish his magic power.
Although he had a precious elixir that could temporarily restore his magic power to its peak.
But he didn't use that kind of medicine for the time being.
Because the speed at which the gold-eating bug devours the restriction must be synchronized with the speed at which you break the restriction.
"rustle!"
The dense and dense biting sounds echoed in the empty hall.
Tens of thousands of gold-eating bugs were desperately devouring the forbidden light. Some of them suddenly fell to the ground while eating and remained motionless.
It seemed that he was killed by the forbidden spiritual power.
"After all, these gold-eating bugs have only reproduced four generations, so their power is limited!" Seeing this scene, Ye Changsheng sighed in his heart.
These gold-eating insects are still silver all over, but with a few golden spots on their backs.
The gold-eating bug becomes truly powerful once it turns completely golden.
Ye Changsheng bombarded the restriction violently for several hours. Finally, he and the gold-eating insects had worn away the restriction to the last thin layer.
Just one strike is enough to break this last restriction.
Ye Changsheng stopped immediately, swallowed a pill, exhaled for a moment, and restored his magic power to its peak.
Then, he gave orders to all the gold-eating bugs, asking them to devour the last layer of restriction.
“Squeak! Squeak…”
A sharp, teeth-grinding sound came from the forbidden light curtain, and tens of thousands of gold-eating insects were biting the light curtain frantically.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, there was a crisp sound, and a light curtain was broken.
The restriction was broken, and the gold-eating bug that was biting the restriction immediately rushed into the grid, wrapped up the Phoenix Stone, and took it away.
At the same time, a green light rose from the stone pillar, and was about to send the group of gold-eating insects away.
Almost at the same time when the gold-eating bugs on this stone pillar broke through the restriction, all the gold-eating bugs on the other five stone pillars also broke through the restriction at the same time.
They also worked together to grab the precious refining material inside the grid, and then were enveloped by the green light rising from the stone pillar.
At the same time, Ye Changsheng also suddenly made a move, and a thick purple sword energy burst out, slashing fiercely on the forbidden light curtain.
Just like a bubble bursting, with a "pop", the restriction was broken. Ye Changsheng swung his sleeves and immediately rolled the Nine Heavens Purple Jade into his sleeves.
At this time, a green light rose on the stone pillars, and the only seven remaining stone pillars in the hall burst out with brilliant light. After a flash of light, Ye Changsheng and those gold-eating insects were teleported away at the same time.
A green light flashed before his eyes, and Ye Changsheng immediately found himself at the bottom of the mountain.
He immediately released his spiritual sense and searched the surrounding situation. When he saw that the groups of gold-eating insects were not far away from him, he breathed a sigh of relief.
After summoning back all the gold-eating bugs, Ye Changsheng also obtained the refining materials they had obtained.
Gengjin, Phoenix Stone, Ten Thousand Years Green Spirit Wood, Five Elements Jade...
Each material is sufficient to refine one or more magic weapons.
“This is a big win!”
Looking at the pile of materials, Ye Changsheng murmured.
Most of these are things that cannot be bought even with spirit stones.
After sighing for a moment, he immediately put all the materials into the storage bag and recovered the gold-eating bugs.
After finishing the cleaning, Ye Changsheng looked at the mountains in the distance with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
"The teleportation arrays that leave this ruins are scattered in different locations on this island. They will not appear until a year later!"
"One teleportation array can only teleport one person. This means that even if you can survive the various dangers in this ruins, you will still have to go through a fight if you want to leave in the future!"
"I'd better go and make some preparations first!"
Ye Changsheng murmured to himself and walked quickly back the way he came.
He planned to return to the edge of the island, restore his magic power to its peak, and then start refining his natal magic weapon right on the spot.
In such a dangerous place, if you can increase your strength by a bit, you should do so.
Because on the way back, we will have to go through a fierce battle.
Ten teleportation arrays represent ten places to return.
Among these ten places, humans or monsters in the late Jindan stage naturally occupy the vast majority.
But this is not always the case. In fact, there have been many times when among those who left this secret realm alive, cultivators in the late Jindan stage accounted for a minority.
There are naturally many reasons for this phenomenon.
It could be because of luck. For example, most of the late Jindan cultivators gathered at the location where a certain teleportation array appeared, while the locations of other teleportation arrays were relatively far away from them, so they didn't have time to get there.
Therefore, they can only fight each other, and the competition on the remaining teleportation arrays is naturally much smaller.
Sometimes, it was because the cultivators in the late Jindan stage were too greedy and scrambled for some very precious resources, which led to the death of most of them.
In short, there are various reasons why there are always people in the early and middle stages of Jindan among those who can finally go back.
Otherwise, cultivators in the early and middle stages of the Jindan period would not dare to come to this secret realm.
This site is special in every way.
The teleportation array that can leave the ruins requires the use of a special thunder roc feather to teleport safely away.
No other methods will work!
Someone once tried to leave the island using a teleportation talisman refined by the Star Palace. However, after this person left with the talisman, he never appeared in the Chaos Star Sea again.
I don't know if he's dead or what.
Anyway, since then, no one has tried to leave using the teleportation talisman.
The Star Palace will not issue any additional teleportation talismans to the monks entering the ruins.
The teleportation talisman was useless, and Ye Changsheng naturally did not expect the Great Teleportation Order to bring him safely to the Chaos Star Sea.
After all, this Lei Peng Secret Realm has existed since ancient times.
There would probably be no shortage of the Great Teleportation Order at that time. When the Lei Peng clan was building the teleportation array, it was impossible for them not to consider the issue of the Great Teleportation Order.
Maybe there is a trap specifically targeting the Great Teleport Order, so he plans to honestly grab a Thunder Peng Feather and leave the secret realm in the traditional way.
Passing through the black forest again, Ye Changsheng sped all the way, and the magic power in his body became more and more.
When he returned to the edge of the island, his magic power had returned to its peak.
“Almost there!”
Looking at the blue ocean in the distance, Ye Changsheng found a piece of open space nearby and started to work.
He set up several formations that he brought with him this time to ensure that he would not be disturbed while refining magic weapons.
Xin Ruyin's attainments in formations have improved again. With these formations, even if a cultivator in the late Jindan stage or a false infant stage attacks, she will not be able to shake it.
After working for several hours and arranging everything, Ye Changsheng sat on the open space guarded by the formation and took out dozens of materials for refining magic weapons.
Nine Heavens Purple Jade, Magic God Sand, Ten Thousand Years Star Spirit Wood, Star Yuan Stone...
Analyze the Nine Heavens Purple Jade once. Even if there is a problem in the future, you can use spirit stones to copy it.
Open the jade box that contains the Fantasy Sand and take out the grain of sand the size of a rice grain.
On the Fantasy Sand, there are nine dreamy colors flashing.
Ye Changsheng stared at the sand for a while, then stretched out his hand and took out a large pile of spirit stones.
Start copying the Phantom Sand.
It is definitely not enough to use only a grain of sand to refine a magic weapon.
To copy a grain of phantom sand, Ye Changsheng directly consumed five thousand spirit stones.
He copied sixty pills in one breath.
"This amount should be enough to refine a magic weapon!"
I looked at my wallet and saw that my wealth had shrunk significantly.
Originally, in the past ten years, through a series of transactions and selling demon pills, he earned hundreds of thousands of spirit stones.
Most of them were eaten by the gold-eating bugs. The ones that were left, plus the ones he already had, gave him a total of 400,000 spirit stones.
This time, another 300,000 were consumed in refining the magic weapon.
However, Ye Changsheng did not show much regret and his expression was calm.
The consumption of spirit stones is nothing to him.
Since coming to the Chaos Star Sea, I have never been short of spirit stones, and I think I will never be short of spirit stones in the future.
It seems like a loss of hundreds of thousands in an instant, but as long as you sell some things, you can quickly make hundreds of thousands again.
He has already reached the Jindan stage, so when he sells various materials, he doesn't have to be as cautious as he was before when his strength was weak.
It is actually a very normal phenomenon for a cultivator in the Jindan stage to do a business worth hundreds of thousands.
For example, in the Miaoyin Sect, the strongest among them are Jindan cultivators, but the Miaoyin Sect has more than one million spirit stones in circulation.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that the leader of Miaoyin Sect, a Jindan cultivator, is worth millions.
In the Chaos Star Sea, the average Jindan cultivator might have a net worth of only tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of spirit stones.
For example, the two elders Gu and Miao from the Liulian Palace who were killed by Ye Changsheng had a total net worth of only thirty to fifty thousand spirit stones.
This wealth is mainly reflected in their life-saving magic weapon. The value of a magic weapon is at least tens of thousands of spirit stones.
Apart from that magic weapon, they didn't have much valuable stuff on them.
This is actually the normal state for most Jindan cultivators, and they only have one valuable magic weapon on their body.
In fact, most Jindan cultivators would invest all of their life savings into refining their own magical weapon.
There are also Jindan cultivators who do not have the money to refine their own magical weapon; it can even be said that it is very common.
It is difficult for most Jindan cultivators to possess their own natal magic weapon in the first few years after Jindan.
Many people have to accumulate energy for decades or even hundreds of years before they can barely refine one.
Therefore, cultivators who have just reached the stage of Dan are often very poor.
But for a slightly richer Jindan cultivator who has several magical weapons or an ancient treasure, his wealth will suddenly increase to hundreds of thousands of spirit stones.
There is only one such cultivator among ten cultivators who have reached the Jindan stage!
The preciousness of the ancient treasure is unimaginable. Even a Nascent Soul cultivator would be tempted after seeing it.
For example, the master of Kuixing Island, Mulong Zhenren, whom Ye Changsheng had met before.
The island owner's magic weapon, the Wooden Dragon Stake, is worth more than 100,000 or 200,000 spirit stones.
Not to mention, he has been the island owner for a hundred years and can earn three to five thousand spirit stones from Kuixing Island every year.
This adds up to hundreds of thousands of spirit stones.
There are relatively few such Jindan cultivators in the Chaos Star Sea, and most of them have certain status and power.
It is basically impossible to obtain such wealth on your own.
This is also the reason why the control over the outer twenty-four islands of the Star Palace would attract so many Jindan cultivators to fight for it.
As long as you can grab one, a hundred years will be enough to earn hundreds of thousands of spirit stones.
Which Jindan cultivator would not be tempted?
They will all fight desperately to grab the position of island owner!
