Chapter 757 - 849 Blood Demon Hundred Ghost Banner’s Refining
[Would you like to start the Immortal Cultivation Simulator?]
"Yes."
[Day one, cultivating and refining the Power of the Stars, undergoing Spiritual Power Infusion.]
[Day two, cultivating and refining the Power of the Stars, undergoing Spiritual Power Infusion.]
[Day three, cultivating and refining the Power of the Stars, undergoing Spiritual Power Infusion.]
...
[Day ten, cultivating and refining the Power of the Stars, undergoing Spiritual Power Infusion.]
[Simulation ended, please select one of the following as your simulation reward.]
[1, Ten days of cultivation experience.]
[2, Ten days of Heart Method experience.]
[3, Ten days of lifespan.]
On the second day, Chen Mo had already climbed to about two thousand feet on the ten-thousand-foot waterfall and began the Immortal Cultivation Simulation.
Looking at the system’s three reward options.
Chen Mo undoubtedly chose the first option.
Instantly, a vast and unnoticeable energy emerged from the void, directly merging with Chen Mo’s body.
This energy, different from the Power of the Stars and the energy of Spiritual Power Infusion, required no refining, as if it inherently belonged to Chen Mo.
Chen Mo carefully sensed it. If he chooses the ten days of cultivation experience again during tomorrow’s simulation, he estimates he can break through to the perfection of the Golden Core.
It seems that this trip to the Profound Spirit Waterfall is enough to propel him into the Nascent Soul Realm.
Meanwhile, Qiao Yushi noticed the sudden surge in Chen Mo’s strength and was filled with confusion, secretly thinking, is the Star Ladder’s enhancement method really this terrifying?
However, within this Profound Spirit Mirror, besides the Artifact Spirit and Qiao Yushi, no one could see the changes in Chen Mo’s body at that moment.
...
Inside Merak Peak.
Even though Zuoqiu Yiren had reached the Unity Realm, the Blood Demon Hundred Ghost Banner, being an initial-grade treasure, is not easy to successfully refine.
Especially since the Blood Demon Hundred Ghost Banner is an evil magical treasure; its sinister aura must be removed, while ensuring that its eerie soul and spiritual power remain intact when it transitions into a righteous magical treasure.
Moreover, once the sinister aura is altered, the Blood Demon may no longer be summoned by the Blood Demon Hundred Ghost Banner, so this must also be taken into account.
Thus, the workload is enormous, requiring a vast amount of natural treasures and earthly resources.
Since Chen Mo entered the Profound Spirit Waterfall, Zuoqiu Yiren had not rested for a moment in the past two days.
For her lazy nature, it was quite a significant effort.
"Such a loss, such a loss, a massive loss, those Monkey Wines can’t compare to these things..."
Zuoqiu Yiren had carved out a small space in her room, fearing the explosion of the house during the refining process.
A two-foot-tall purple tripod furnace was placed before her, with extremely hot purple flames rising inside. A blood-colored banner emitted a faint sizzling sound in the sea of flames, accompanied by mournful wails.
With great reluctance, Zuoqiu Yiren took a crystal stone shimmering with purple light from the Soul-Calming Bell, containing fluctuating Dao charm.
This stone, named Purple Sun Crystal, had absorbed at least three thousand years of the first ray of purple energy from the sunrise, being purely Yang and rigid—a primary material for crafting Dao Artifacts.
But now, she threw it into the tripod furnace for refining.
As the Purple Sun Crystal was melted by the purple flames, a liquid full of pure Yang and rigidity enveloped the blood-colored banner, instantly suppressing the sinister aura.
"This won’t do, the Blood Demon Array will still suffer destruction."
Zuoqiu Yiren raised an eyebrow, then swiftly formed seals with her fingers, decisively destroying the Blood Demon Array within the Blood Demon Hundred Ghost Banner.
Her idea was to engrave a new array, not to summon the Blood Demon but to summon the Soldier Leader of Daoism.
However, she did not understand arrays.
With her eyes closed, Zuoqiu Yiren expanded her Divine Sense, drifting to Cyan Simurgh Peak of Qing Ye, only to be blocked by the barrier of Cyan Simurgh Peak.
Zuoqiu Yiren frowned, sensing a hint of her own aura in that barrier.
Clearly, this barrier was specifically meant to block her.
"That damn Qing Ye," Zuoqiu Yiren murmured to herself. Just as she was about to break through forcefully, a cold transmission came through.
"No Monkey Wine brewed."
The words were straightforward and blunt.
This made Zuoqiu Yiren somewhat embarrassed.
"I’m not here for Monkey Wine."
"I’ve heard this sentence more than a hundred times already."
"I really am not here for Monkey Wine; I want your help to engrave a summoning array for the Soldier Leader."
"Not helping," came the resolute green response.
Zuoqiu Yiren’s face darkened. "I’ll offer a reward."
"You think I’ll still fall for your trick?"
"I’ll give the reward first," Zuoqiu Yiren conveyed through gritted teeth.
There was a pause within the barrier before the transmission resumed: "Don’t you have a Purple Sun Crystal? Give it to me, and I’ll help you."
"Why don’t you just rob me?"
"You haven’t robbed me any less."
Upon hearing this, it was Zuoqiu Yiren’s turn to pause. Then she replied, "I’ve already used the Purple Sun Crystal; I don’t have it anymore, offer a different condition."
"I only want the Purple Sun Crystal," Qing Ye doubted Zuoqiu Yiren had really used it.
"I really don’t have the Purple Sun Crystal anymore, I used it for refining the Blood Demon Hundred Ghost Banner," Zuoqiu Yiren explained truthfully.
"Purple Sun Crystal could have been used with some natural treasures and earthly resources to have a high-level artifact refiner craft it into an initial-grade Dao Artifact, and yet you used it to refine an evil magical treasure." Qing Ye was clearly shocked, then transmitted, "Did Chen Mo give you that half piece of Holy Medicine he obtained, convincing you to incur such a huge cost by using the Purple Sun Crystal for refining? Even a Holy Medicine cannot compare to a Purple Sun Crystal."
"He’s my disciple, as a teacher, helping him refine a magical treasure is just natural. One question, will you help or not?"
"Is the Purple Sun Crystal really gone?"
"Really gone!"
"Alright, here’s the deal, I’m currently researching an ancient array and need some Unity Realm level Demon Blood for experimentation. You get that for me, and I’ll do my very best to engrave the finest summoning array for you."
"Alright."
After retracting her Divine Sense, Zuoqiu Yiren stopped the refining, took the Merak Sword, left Merak Peak, and exited Shenxiao Sect.
A month later.
A beast tide of unprecedented scale in nearly a thousand years broke out in the Hezhou Domain.
A King of Demon Beasts in the Hezhou Domain had an arm sliced off by a purple flying sword.
Some witnesses recognized it as Zuoqiu Yiren’s Purple Star Sword.
And the strength of that Demon Beast King was at the Unity Realm.
For a time, the name of Fairy Zuoqiu resonated throughout the Hezhou Domain.
This was the first great battle Zuoqiu Yiren erupted in after centuries of silence. (The news of Zuoqiu Yiren slaying evil cultivators in the East Night Kingdom did not spread.)
In mere moments, she severed the arm of a Demon Beast King, leaving everyone stunned at Zuoqiu Yiren’s current power.
People speculated whether Zuoqiu Yiren’s strength had reached the Unity Realm?
An Unity Realm level under eight hundred years old, truly an unprecedented existence.
With Zuoqiu Yiren’s reemergence, the title of the Twin Fairies of Autumn reentered conversation.
