Chapter 513: Picking up leaks, everything is ready [Third update, please subscribe]

Zhou Chun was very satisfied with the outstanding effect of [Ancient Dust Pill], so he was more willing to invest resources and energy in searching for the elixir for refining this pill.

Speaking of which, it’s fortunate that it was refined in the Great Zhou Kingdom, so everything is easy to collect.

If it were a place like Jingguo, the blood essence of a fourth-level monster alone would be enough to give Zhou Chun a headache.

After all, essence blood is not the spiritual blood of ordinary monsters. It is not that he can just go to the wilderness to find a fourth-level monster to fight with and collect some blood from the opponent's wounds.

But in the Great Zhou Kingdom, although fourth-level monsters are rare, they are raised in many major forces, so it is not difficult to obtain their essence and blood.

Even sects like the Yuling Sect, where Yu Jinghua was hiding, would treat this kind of thing as their own special spiritual item and sell it or exchange it for spiritual medicines and supplies.

If Zhou Chun can train a monster to the fourth level, he can make a lot of money by selling the monster's blood essence in the future!

Of course he would never do such a thing.

Because its essence and blood are being extracted, the monster itself will also lose vitality, thus delaying its cultivation and growth.

Among his spiritual pets, except for the golden-winged tiger, the other three have the potential to become fifth-rank demon kings!
If we delay their growth and evolution because of this short-term benefit, we will undoubtedly be picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons.

Good things are meant to be shared by everyone.

This time Zhou Chun did not concentrate resources to train anyone, but distributed the remaining five [Ancient Dust Pills] to the Golden Armored Mountain Turtle Shitou, one, and Lei Jiao Baibai and the Golden Winged Tiger two each.

As for Mu Mei Mu Sang, the benefits it had gained in the secret island were already great enough, so it would be a bit of a waste to give it the [Ancient Dust Pill].

Just as these spirit pets took the pills and digested the medicinal power through sleep, Zhou Chun also received a message from Luo Qingni and went to the other party's "Qingni Residence".

"This is the [Spiritual Opening Pill] refined by Master Ge Yun. In terms of the effect of assisting in the opening of the Purple Mansion, it is not much inferior to spiritual pills such as the [Purple Dust Pill]. After the discount, it only costs 20,000 spiritual coins per pill. Fellow Daoist Zhou, please keep it!"

In "Qingni Residence", after exchanging some polite words with Zhou Chun who came to visit, Luo Qingni took out a jade bottle and handed it to him, explaining the purpose of inviting him over.

After Zhou Chun heard this, he immediately took the jade bottle and thanked him, "Thank you for your help, Brother Luo. Please keep these spiritual coins."

As he said that, he took out 40,000 spirit coins and handed them to Luo Qingni.

Luo Qingni didn't bother to be polite with him. She directly accepted the spirit coins, then looked at him and said, "Qingni will be in seclusion for a while. If you don't have anything important to do, you can leave a message at the store where Qingni is hanging up the order. Qingni will contact you after she comes out of seclusion."

Hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately understood and said, "I understand. I wish you a smooth retreat. I won't bother you any more."

Then he took the initiative to say goodbye and left.

After returning to his cave, Zhou Chun practiced his secret skills with concentration and waited patiently for the underground Yibao meeting to be held.

Almost another year passed, and the underground Yibao meeting that Zhou Chun had been waiting for finally began.

This underground Yibao meeting was held near Tianyuan Fairy City, and Zhou Chun got the token early.

At this time, after he used various methods to conceal his identity and entered the underground Yibaohui venue, he saw that there were already many cultivators who concealed their identities like him. Some of them even concealed their aura very well, making it difficult to see their specific level of cultivation.

By the time the underground Yibao meeting began, the number of monks in the venue had exceeded two hundred!

Among these cultivators, most are in the Purple Mansion Stage, and there are also some in the late Foundation Establishment Stage. There are not many Golden Core Stage cultivators, and Zhou Chun can only see seven of them. He just doesn't know if any of them are deliberately hiding their cultivation levels.

The cultivator who presided over the Yibao Association was a cultivator in the middle stage of the Jindan realm. His body was shrouded in a layer of hazy black mist, and it was unknown whether it was some kind of magical power or the effect of a magic weapon.

After the man said some opening words, he waved his hands and took out the things he had brought for exchange.

Then he introduced them one by one: "One piece of magic weapon spiritual material [Black Water Mysterious Crystal], one piece of magic weapon spiritual material [Millennium Cold Iron], a set of fangs of a fourth-level low-grade snake demon, 134 pieces of snake scales, five plants of Millennium Snake Dragon Grass..."

"These things can only be exchanged for the thousand-year-old precious medicine. If there are Taoist friends who are willing to exchange, you can send a voice message to discuss the exchange with me!"

It turned out to be the right place!

Looking at the treasures that this mid-stage Jindan cultivator took out for exchange, Zhou Chun felt warm in his heart.

He had a lot of good things on him, but he was never able to exchange them for what he wanted.

If every Jindan stage cultivator did this, and took out so many magic weapons and spiritual materials to exchange, then he wouldn't have to worry about not being able to exchange for what he wanted.

However, although the things that this middle-stage Jindan cultivator took out were all good things, what he needed was undoubtedly more precious.

For most Jindan stage cultivators who have already refined their own magical weapons, magical materials are just that.

Unless there is a way to find a master weapon refiner to help refine it into a second or third magic weapon, otherwise this thing in their hands is just a bargaining chip to exchange for rare treasures.

But the thousand-year-old elixir is different.

At least Zhou Chun knew that some Jindan stage cultivators would pool together thousand-year-old precious medicines to refine elixirs to improve their cultivation, and then each of them would distribute the successfully refined elixirs according to the amount of effort they put in.

Therefore, even if you only have one or two thousand-year-old precious herbs, as long as your network of contacts is wide enough, you can work together with others to refine elixirs and then share the elixirs.

In this case, unless one is like Zhou Chun, exchanging such spiritual objects for materials for refining one's own magic weapon, or other must-have items, one would not take out such spiritual objects to exchange for things that one cannot use.

Therefore, until a quarter of an hour had passed, no one actually took out the thousand-year-old elixir to exchange with this person.

In the end, he could only sigh in disappointment and put everything back.

Then he casually pointed to another early Jindan cultivator to replace him.

Although this early Jindan cultivator was not as domineering as him, he also took out two magical weapons and spiritual materials and seven or eight rare thousand-year-old spiritual medicines in one breath.

"I want to exchange these things for thousand-year-old Fire Yang Ginseng, Fire Jingzhi and other fire-attributed spiritual medicines. If you have relevant spiritual medicines, you can communicate with me through voice transmission. The price is negotiable!"

Sure enough, when the requirement was reduced to a thousand-year-old elixir, this early Jindan cultivator quickly made several deals and seemed quite satisfied.

After this person completed the transaction, he pointed directly at Zhou Chun, indicating that he should take over from him.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun immediately slapped his storage bag and took out some things he had prepared long ago.

He took out 17 thousand-year-old spiritual herbs and five kinds of magical materials in one go, and then said, "I have a lot of things to exchange. Here is the list. As long as you have the things on the list, you can communicate with me through voice transmission."

After saying that, he placed a piece of white paper filled with the names of various spiritual creatures in front of him.

I saw the names of more than a dozen kinds of spiritual medicines written on the white paper, all of which were the spiritual medicines needed to refine the [Ancient Dust Pill].

Then there are the magical materials that he and Zhou Mingde need to use to refine their own magical weapons, and even the third-level demon pill that matches the attributes of the three-headed spiritual pet!

The scope of exchange is so wide that Zhou Chun will naturally not gain nothing.

Soon some monks began to communicate with him via telepathy.

After talking for about a quarter of an hour, Zhou Chun finalized several transactions and made exchanges with some monks.

In the end, he exchanged for five kinds of spiritual medicines needed to refine the [Ancient Dust Pill], as well as a magical spiritual material [Earth Fire Mysterious Crystal Stone].

However, after completing these exchanges, Zhou Chun did not immediately designate the next cultivator to exchange.

Instead, he raised his hand again and summoned out the [Qingmu Shensha Banner].

Then he shook the treasure banner in his hand and said, "This magic weapon was obtained by chance by me in the past. Its owner had already refined it into a medium-grade magic weapon before, but later it fell back to the low-grade. Because its properties are not compatible with me, I want to exchange it for a low-grade magic weapon with fire or gold properties."

As he said this, he looked at those Jindan stage cultivators.

However, facing his gaze, several Jindan stage cultivators turned a blind eye and obviously had no interest in exchanging magic weapons with him.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun could only sigh and silently take back the magic weapon.

The next few Jindan stage cultivators also took out a lot of good things, but unfortunately none of them were what Zhou Chun urgently needed.

Instead, when it was the turn of those Purple Mansion Stage cultivators, Zhou Chun took a fancy to another item.

"This broken sword is a treasure passed down from my ancestors. It is a powerful magic weapon. Although a small part of it is missing, it can still be activated through the blood sacrifice technique, and it can exert a power that is not inferior to that of a fake magic weapon!"

"I want to use this item to exchange for a spiritual item that can regenerate a person's severed limbs without leaving any trouble!"

I saw a masked late Purple Mansion cultivator holding a silver-white broken sword in one hand, and expressing his demand for exchange in a low voice.

The other sleeve of his shirt was empty, with no arm present. It was obvious that he was trying to give himself hope of moving forward.

For cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage, limb loss is a very serious matter.

Once a limb is damaged, normal meditation and cultivation will be affected. It will be extremely dangerous when trying to break through to a higher level, as it will reduce your chances of breaking through.

Therefore, if this cultivator in the late Purple Mansion stage wants to form an elixir, he must find a spiritual object that can regenerate his severed limbs and make up for his physical defects before forming the elixir!
However, spiritual objects that can regenerate severed limbs are extremely precious, and even Jindan-stage cultivators cannot take them out casually.

So when people heard the words of this late Purple Mansion cultivator, no one spoke immediately, but instead they all looked carefully at the broken sword in his hand.

I saw that the sword was generally intact, except for the part below the tip which was missing. It looked like it had been cut off by another sharper divine weapon.

Even if no one injects magic power into it, the sword still emits a faint silver-white glow, and it seems that it still retains a lot of spirituality.

"Can I try the power of this sword?" A cultivator in the early Jindan stage stared at the silver-white broken sword for a while, then suddenly looked at its owner and asked.

"This one……"

The Purple Mansion cultivator seemed a little hesitant, and his eyes couldn't help but look at the middle-stage Jindan cultivator who presided over the underground Yibao Conference.

"Let this fellow Taoist try it. It's just a broken sword. I don't think any fellow Taoist would break the rules of Yibao Club for such a thing!"

The mid-stage Jindan cultivator who presided over the Yibao Association pondered for a moment and then spoke in a faint voice.

As he spoke, he unabashedly released his powerful spiritual sense to lock onto the person who had requested to test the sword.

After a short silence, the man laughed strangely and said, "You are right, fellow Taoist. It is just a broken sword. I will not offend so many fellow Taoists here for it!"

Then he raised his hand and forcibly took the broken sword from the hands of the late Purple Mansion cultivator.

After he injected his magic power into the silver-white broken sword, the broken sword, which originally required a Purple Mansion Stage cultivator to use a blood sacrifice technique to activate, suddenly emitted a silver glow and a sharp sword light.

But before Zhou Chun and other Jindan stage cultivators could feel happy, the silver light bloomed to a certain extent and then quickly stopped, as if it was about to reach a climax but was forcibly interrupted.

Although the sword light that stopped rising seemed to be quite powerful, it was no longer enough to make the Jindan stage cultivator's eyes light up.

The Jindan early stage cultivator who was activating the broken sword also quickly stopped injecting mana, shook his head with a dissatisfied look and said: "It can barely exert 50% of the power of a low-grade magic weapon, but the mana consumption is much higher than that of activating a low-grade magic weapon, it is a bit useless!"

After saying this, he threw the broken sword back to the late Purple Mansion cultivator, as if he had completely lost interest in the broken sword.

Upon seeing this, the other Jindan stage cultivators all shook their heads and also lost interest.

Seeing this situation, the cultivator in the late Purple Mansion stage couldn't help but sway, as if he had suffered a great blow.

Although I can't see his face at the moment, I guess it must be pale.

Perhaps this broken sword is the best treasure he can get.

But for the Jindan stage cultivators, unless it is a truly complete magic weapon, it has no appeal at all. They will not pay for precious healing medicine for such a broken magic weapon.

"All the seniors are Jindan-stage cultivators. If you can find a way to repair this sword, you will be able to obtain a top-grade magic weapon. What I want is nothing more than a healing elixir!"

Almost pleading words came out of the mouth of the late Purple Mansion cultivator, and he seemed to want to make a final struggle.

But the Jindan early stage cultivator who was testing the sword seemed unhappy with his previous behavior, and immediately sneered and replied: "You are really ignorant, young man, if the magic weapon is so easy to repair, how could this sword have been in the hands of a Purple Mansion stage young man like you for so long? You want to exchange this broken sword for a healing elixir, you are dreaming!"

These words made the late Purple Mansion cultivator tremble slightly, but he dared not say anything more.

He is just a Purple Mansion Stage cultivator. If he dares to quarrel with a Golden Core Stage cultivator, his life will be in danger after leaving the underground Yibao Society!

So even though he felt extremely humiliated at this moment, he could only quietly put away the broken sword in his hand and step aside.

But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in his mind, causing his body to tremble slightly, and then he lowered his head slightly, hiding the joy in his eyes.

The Yibaohui continued, and one monk after another displayed the treasures they brought.

Unfortunately, there is nothing that can move Zhou Chun later.

This continued for several days before the Yibao Conference came to an end.

Then, under the arrangement of the host, all the participants were arranged according to their cultivation levels, with those with lower cultivation levels leaving the scene first.

Finally, Zhou Chun and several other Jindan stage cultivators left together.

Besides, after Zhou Chun returned to Tianyuan Fairy City, he did not rush back to his cave, but went to a teahouse in the city and booked a private room.

Just as he drank a cup of tea, the restriction on the door of the private room was triggered.

He picked up the token that controlled the ban and waved it, then opened the door.

Then, a bearded man with his left sleeve undone was seen standing outside the door with a worried look on his face.

At this time, the bearded man outside the door saw the door open, first glanced at Zhou Chun, then hurriedly bowed and said: "Junior Yuchi Fei, greetings to Senior Zhang!"

"You are welcome, fellow Daoist Yuchi. Come in and have a cup of tea first."

Zhou Chun smiled lightly, waved his hand, let it in, and closed the door again.

But Yuchi Fei was obviously not in the mood to drink tea. As soon as the door was closed, he looked at him impatiently and said, "Senior Zhang said before that he was willing to exchange the healing medicine for my ancestral sword. Are you serious?"

His eyes were full of anticipation.

Seeing how anxious he was, Zhou Chun could only nod and say, "That's right, Zhang has a [Resurrection Pill] in his hand, which is a healing medicine that can revive the dead and turn bones into flesh. Regenerating a broken limb is a piece of cake!"

Speaking of which, this [Resurrection Pill] was a treasure looted from the Jiang family when the Jiang family was destroyed.

Because of its powerful healing properties, Zhou Mingde gave it to Zhou Chun to carry with him in case of emergency.

However, although Zhou Chun encountered many life-and-death crises over the years, he never really needed this item, so he kept it with him.

Now his spiritual pet Mu Mei Mu Sang is already a third-level top-grade monster, and it is only a matter of time before it breaks through to the fourth level.

Once a breakthrough is made, the effectiveness of the healing power will surely improve by leaps and bounds, and it will not be difficult to help people regenerate severed limbs.

By then, this [Resurrection Pill] will be of no use.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong in exchanging this item with others for treasures.

After hearing Zhou Chun's words, Yuchi Fei's eyes suddenly showed ecstasy, and he looked at him hurriedly and said, "Senior Zhang, can you take out the precious pill and let me see it?"

After the words fell, Zhou Chun waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about this for now."

Then he looked at him and said, "I have seen it before. Although your broken sword is extraordinary, it is still a little short of the [Revitalizing Pill] in my hand. Bring the sword to me first."

These words froze Yuchi Fei's happy expression. After his expression changed slightly, he took out the silver-white broken sword and handed it to Zhou Chun, saying, "Here is the sword, please take a look, senior."

Zhou Chun raised his hand to take the silver-white broken sword and injected some of his own magic power into it.

All of a sudden, the silver light on the sword surged, and one could even vaguely feel a sense of joy, like a child who had eaten candy.

Obviously, compared to the early Jindan cultivator who was not practicing the Jinxing technique at that time, Zhou Chun's magic power made the remaining spirit in the broken sword feel more pleased.

He also took the opportunity to inject magic power to carefully feel the internal condition of the broken sword.

The situation was pretty much as he thought. The magical restrictions inside the broken sword were actually basically intact, except for a part that was missing, which prevented its power from being unleashed.

If not, how could a broken magic weapon still exert power that is no less powerful than a fake magic weapon!
"It's a good sword, but it's ruined!"

Zhou Chun withdrew his magic power, sighed with regret, and then returned the broken sword to Yuchi Fei.

This made Yuchi Fei very anxious.

He immediately grabbed the broken sword and looked at him and said, "Senior, if you really like this sword, you can actually go find the sword-making master of Jiuyuan Sword Sect to help repair it. My ancestors left a record saying that the sword-making Tianchi of Jiuyuan Sword Sect has mysterious abilities and can repair some damaged swords. This sword is not seriously damaged, so there is a chance that it can be repaired with the help of the power of the sword-making Tianchi!"

"Of course I have heard of the great name of the Sword Forging Tianchi of the Jiuyuan Sword Sect, but you also know how arrogant those sword cultivators are. Not to mention that I come from a humble family, even if they are fellow cultivators from powerful forces, if I want to ask them to help repair this sword, I'm afraid the price they pay won't be much less than refining a magic weapon!"

Zhou Chun shook his head repeatedly, looking as if he was declining the offer.

How could Yuchi Fei not know this? If the broken sword was really so easy to repair, his ancestor, who was a Jindan-stage cultivator, would have gone to the Jiuyuan Sword Sect to repair it long ago!
Seeing that Zhou Chun was not falling for it, he could only grit his teeth and continue to add: "I have a set of exquisite sword-controlling skills passed down from my ancestors. I can exchange this sword with you. What do you think?"

Hearing that he had even used the sword-wielding skills inherited from his ancestors as a bargaining chip, Zhou Chun knew that there was probably nothing more he could get out of him.

So he nodded gently and said, "Well, as the saying goes, helping others is also helping yourself, I will make a good relationship with you!"

"Thank you very much, senior! I will always remember your kindness in giving me a new life!"

Yuchi Fei was overjoyed and bowed quickly to express his gratitude.

Then Zhou Chun raised his hand, took out the [Return to Heaven Pill] and handed it to him.

He opened the pill bottle and just by smelling the fragrance of the pill, he felt his blood and energy boiling, and there was also a slight reaction at the broken arm on his left shoulder.

He immediately knew that what Zhou Chun said before was not an exaggeration at all. This was definitely a superb healing medicine that could heal bones!
Then he bowed to Zhou Chun again and expressed his gratitude. He handed over the jade slip that recorded his ancestral sword-wielding technique and the broken sword to Zhou Chun, then happily left the teahouse with the [Resurrection Pill] to go into seclusion to heal his injuries.

After Yuchi Fei left, Zhou Chun looked at the broken sword in his hand and smiled.

Of course, he couldn't ask the Jiuyuan Sword Sect for help in repairing the sword. Not to mention whether he could do it or not, even if he could, there was no need!
Because from the beginning to the end, he never thought about repairing the sword, but was eyeing the materials used to refine the sword.

After previous identification, he has confirmed that the main refining material of this sword is a rare spiritual gold [Taibai Silver Star Iron], which is a material he needs to refine his natal magic weapon [Wanhua Golden Tripod]!
Because this sword is basically made of a whole piece of [Taibai Silver Star Iron], Zhou Chun only needs to melt it and smelt the other materials mixed in it, and then he can use it as raw material to refine his own magic weapon.

After obtaining two kinds of precious spiritual gold, [Meteorite Gold] and [Taibai Silver Star Iron] in succession, the materials for refining his complete version of [Wanhua Golden Cauldron] were basically complete.

All that’s left to do next is to successfully “break the cauldron and recast it”, and then you can start refining this long-awaited natal magic weapon!
