Chapter 1220 - 1219: Cave Mansion in the Ultimate Killer Weapon
After arranging the formation on the fan bones, Zhang Bin carefully observed and sensed it.
Then he discovered that these fan bones were indeed very tough, much harder than a dragon horn.
So, after setting up the Level Two Sharpness Formation, there were no signs of collapse.
Evidently, the fan bones were a mystical material comparable to an Innate Spiritual Treasure in hardness.
"Oh my God, I’ve struck it rich this time. I’m about to get a super awesome ultimate weapon."
Zhang Bin felt a surge of wild joy in his heart.
He replicated the process and set up Level Two Sharpness Formations on the other 11 fan bones.
Later, he also arranged numerous formations onto the two fan handles.
Without hesitation, he used a secret technique to refine them.
With a thought, the fan transformed into a white light and went into his Metal Attribute Dantian.
Rapidly devouring the Metal Attribute True Qi.
Once it was filled with True Qi, Zhang Bin’s mouth suddenly opened wide.
"Whoosh..."
The fan shot out, soaring rapidly around the hall.
Its speed was truly incredible.
Zhang Bin stretched out his hand, and the fan landed in it.
He held the fan, opened it, leisurely fanned it a few times, then suddenly snapped it shut, and with a click, the fan bones sprang out.
Transforming into an extremely sharp strange weapon.
A gentle thrust.
Swish...
A piercing sound arose, nearly causing the space to collapse.
The sharp aura instilled terror in anyone.
Even though Zhang Bin had not yet displayed the sharpness of the fan.
The seven people all felt a threat of death.
All shivering with a chill at the same time.
"What a treasure! Though not considered an Innate Spiritual Treasure or an Imitation Spirit Treasure, it is, nevertheless, a terrifying ultimate weapon," Zhang Bin’s face showed satisfaction.
He had acquired You Jiuxuan’s Imitation Spirit Treasure, the Four Immortals Pagoda.
However, with his current abilities, he couldn’t refine the Four Immortals Pagoda.
So the Four Immortals Pagoda could only remain hidden in his Dragon Pool.
However, he had studied the Four Immortals Pagoda carefully.
So he could judge that this fan was not an Imitation Spirit Treasure.
"You shall be called the Devil-Slaying Fan," Zhang Bin said with a mischievous grin.
Those words held a deeper meaning, implying that he intended to use this fan to kill Mo Tunyu and You Jiuxuan, thoroughly decimating the Demon Sect.
Then Zhang Bin frowned as he closely examined the fan, his eyes falling on the entrance to the cave mansion on the surface of the fan.
A look of deep confusion appeared on his face.
Even though he had set up formations and refined the fan.
He still couldn’t sense the situation inside the cave mansion of the fan.
It seemed as if there was a strange power there, blocking the penetration of his Divine Sense.
Or perhaps it was simply a painting, with nothing special about it.
"It seems the Devil-Slaying Fan is not as simple as I thought. How was such a tough material forged, considering even a Blue Flame might not melt it... moreover, my formation setup seems somewhat out of place. Perhaps this fan really has a big secret," Zhang Bin mused to himself, a look of anticipation on his face.
Of course, he was looking forward to discovering the ultimate secrets of the fan in the future.
Actually, Zhang Bin now understood that the Devil-Slaying Fan was an extremely sophisticated composite weapon embryo, consisting of a total of sixteen components: the fan surface, twelve fan bones, two handles, and a connecting rod.
No, no, it should be thirty-two parts, or even more.
Because this fan was made by merging two fans.
This might be a special refining method, where parts of the same attribute are separately refined and then united, similar to a cultivator forming a Nascent Soul, and then entering the Union Realm, to possibly enhance the toughness of the artifact embryo.
And such a magical artifact embryo might have any component with special properties, possibly requiring special formations to be set.
This special formation might be a Level Two or even higher-level formation.
Unfortunately, Zhang Bin was not an artifact refining expert and didn’t understand much about the properties of formations.
Furthermore, he only knew of a Level Two Sharpness Formation.
So, the formations he arranged were, of course, a complete mess.
Spoiling a super awesome artifact embryo.
So, at best, the current Devil-Slaying Fan is a high-grade magical artifact.
Its greatest ability is its sharpness.
The reason for its sharpness is solely because the fan bones have a Level Two Sharpness Formation.
"In the future, I can rearrange the formations, but for now, this will suffice," Zhang Bin mused to himself, "However, this cave mansion on the fan surface seems to indeed hold a secret. But this fan is a fusion of two artifact embryos; could the expert who refined them really have left a secret on the fan surface? Could it be that there’s truly a cave mansion inside, hiding treasures?"
"Indeed, our Earth has witnessed numerous wondrous ancient civilizations, who created brilliant civilizations akin to fireworks, leaving their legacies and civilized records behind, yet future generations find it challenging to comprehend them. Not even qualified to accept their legacy," Zhang Bin sighed endlessly in his heart.
One must know how ingenious Zhang Bin was, with his Dantian divided into 81 sections, comparable to an Immortal Emperor.
Yet he still couldn’t unlock the Moonlight Treasure Box, nor discover the ultimate secrets of the Sun Handkerchief and Devil-Slaying Fan.
And those who crafted these treasures, they too were nurtured by Earth.
Just how powerful were they? How brilliant were they as geniuses?
"It seems my foundation is too weak, my cultivation time too short; I need to solidify myself well, read more ancient records, and understand the various secrets of cultivation," Zhang Bin realized in his heart.
Even though his progress was rapid, and his combat strength terrifying.
In other aspects of cultivation, he lagged far behind.
Artifact refining, talisman making, alchemy, formation setting...
He could at best be considered to have six of the seven apertures clear.
"Once I eliminate You Jiuxuan and Mo Tunyu, I will diligently address my shortcomings."
Zhang Bin mused internally.
Right now, there was no time for this; he had to continue to crazily grow stronger.
Otherwise, tragedy might await him.
Zhang Bin was lost in chaotic thoughts while the auction house continued smoothly.
The three jokers were naturally bidding frequently; for any treasures Zhang Bin instructed them to acquire, they would spend money to win.
After all, Zhang Bin’s treasures fetched astronomical numbers of mid-grade spirit stones.
For Taiqing Sect disciples, mid-grade spirit stones were worthless; they used top-grade spirit stones for cultivation.
So mid-grade spirit stones had to be exchanged for treasures here.
They acquired various Heavenly Earth Elixirs.
Most were ingredients for refining the Nirvana Pill, and a small part were for refining some advancement elixirs.
For instance, if Zhang Bin cultivated the Qingmu Longevity Technique to reach the Great Tree Realm, he had to consume a special elixir — the Great Tree Pill. This elixir required more than 1,500 types of ingredients and Zhang Bin had not yet fully gathered them, still missing over five hundred types.
After all, the Great Tree Pill’s formula came from Xuanwu Star.
Many ingredients were nonexistent on Earth...
