141: Refining the magical artifact, the Radiant Sun Shield

"In all the Myriad Heavens and Realms, there probably isn't a business more profitable than this, right?"

Looking at the brilliant Magic Treasures before him, Yu Xuzi sighed with emotion.

Just using the key of the heavens to open a single gate could exchange for a staggering profit of tens of millions of Spirit Stones; it was simply too bizarre.

As for whether the Qingyuan Sect still had any private stashes?

Yu Xuzi estimated there were likely a few things left, such as Rank Three Talismans or the like, perhaps one or two.

However, he didn't bother to haggle more with the Qingyuan Sect.

He had already earned enough, and he was quite satisfied.

From now on, their Karma was settled!

"The Myriad Heavens Star Disk..."

Yu Xuzi looked at the star disk mark on his left palm, his mind filled with countless thoughts.

Besides being able to perform Transmigration through the Myriad Heavens and Realms and taking out the key of the heavens, it was highly likely there were many other functions he hadn't discovered yet. Once his cultivation grew stronger in the future and his understanding and utilization of the Myriad Heavens Star Disk deepened, perhaps he really could realize his vision for the Yu Xu Palace!

Plunder the Resources of the heavens to support himself!

No, it shouldn't be plundering; it was more like a trade where Cultivators in desperate situations proactively offered Resources in exchange.

How vast the future was!

"Awoo~"

The roar of the Dragon-Horse Ink Calamity brought Yu Xuzi's thoughts back, and he patted its neck lightly.

"Alright, let's go."

A Blackish-Yellow vortex appeared in the Void Realm ahead.

Seeing this, Ink Calamity jumped in impatiently; it really didn't want to stay in this world devoid of spiritual essence any longer.

Of course, Yu Xuzi felt the same.

The higher a Cultivator's cultivation, the more uncomfortable they felt in an environment without spiritual essence; that "disgust" growing from the bottom of their heart was the instinct of a transcendent being... Yuxu Grotto-Heaven.

Inside the main hall on the central mountain Peak.

Yu Xuzi sat cross-legged in mid-air. Before him, a crimson circular shield floated up and down, emitting a shimmering glow and a heart-palpitating heat.

Rank Three Low Grade Magic Treasure—[blazing sun shield].

Countless dense gold-red patterns intertwined on its surface, flowing slowly like molten lava.

This was the first Magic Treasure Yu Xuzi chose to refine.

As for the reason, its Rank wasn't high, only Rank Three Low Grade, and its quality and power were relatively ordinary, making it easy to refine.

At the same time, it was a "new Magic Treasure" forged several hundred years ago, well-maintained and without any damage.

Most importantly, it was a defensive Magic Treasure!

Yu Xuzi's combat power was already almost invincible within the Dao Foundation realm; refining an offensive Magic Treasure wouldn't be very useful. Only a defensive Magic Treasure could block attacks from an Immortal Master or above at critical moments, providing him with the most precious instant to escape through worlds.

"However, forcibly refining a Rank Three Magic Treasure with a Dao Foundation body is indeed too straining."

Yu Xuzi felt helpless, but he did not waver.

With his current magic power and Divine Sense levels, which were comparable to the Dao Foundation Peak, he should be able to barely refine it.

Because what he wanted wasn't just to barely activate it, but to refine it completely and command it as easily as his own limbs!

The pure and vast magic power within his body poured into the blazing sun shield before him like a floodgate being opened.

"Hum~"

The circular shield trembled slightly, and the gold-red patterns suddenly brightened, as if turning into a small sun, crazily devouring his magic power.

A violent and scorching aura suddenly spread out, and the temperature inside the entire hall instantly climbed, the air distorting with waves of heat.

Yu Xuzi slowly closed his eyes, his Divine Sense sinking into the shield.

"Boom!"

His Divine Sense felt as if it had touched an endless sea of fire, with waves rolling and intense heat.

They seemed to possess intelligence, roaring and probing, attempting to completely devour this outsider's Divine Sense.

"Fortunately, there is no Divine Sense Restriction!"

"It seems that since the previous owner perished, no one has been able to completely refine this treasure recently."

Yu Xuzi remained calm and unhurried. His Divine Sense transformed into specks of spiritual light, slowly seeping into the sea of fire to begin merging.

The waves of the fire sea instantly became violent, and his Divine Sense was being pulled frantically, causing sharp pain to emerge.

"Hold on!"

Yu Xuzi's expression tightened, a flash of paleness passing through him. Enduring the rapid drain of magic power, he stuffed two Rank Two High Grade pills into his mouth.

One was a [Spirit Recovery Pill] to restore magic power, and the other was a [Spirit Nourishing Pill] to soothe the Divine Sense.

These were items he had snatched at the Lei Huo Mountain Market a few years ago and had never used.

At the same time.

The Rank Three Spiritual Vein of Yuxu Mountain brought forth boundless Heaven And Earth Spiritual Essence, forming a massive spiritual essence vortex above Yu Xuzi's head, pouring into his body and transforming into a continuous stream of magic power.

In the blink of an eye, ten days passed.

"Boom—!!!"

In an instant.

The blazing sun shield suddenly erupted with a dazzling red-gold light, crimson as blood and golden as fire.

All the spiritual light patterns on the shield's surface lit up, moving like living things before finally converging at the center to form a blazing phantom of a sun.

The blazing sun shield vibrated and hummed, seemingly finally acknowledging Yu Xuzi as its owner. It turned into a streak of light and entered his body, floating above the Sea of Magic Power in his Dantian.

It's done!

The pale-faced Yu Xuzi suddenly opened his eyes.

A flash of joy passed through his eyes as his Divine Sense stared fixedly at the crimson ball of light above the Sea of Magic Power inside him.

With a cultivation at the Mid Dao Foundation Peak, he had actually successfully refined a Rank Three Low Grade Magic Treasure. This would definitely be a mind-blowing existence in the external Cultivation World... Three days later.

Having fully recovered his magic power and Divine Sense, Yu Xuzi stood in the mid-air of the Grotto-Heaven.

"Out!"

With a thought from Yu Xuzi.

The blazing sun shield above the Sea of Magic Power flew out in response.

"Boom!!"

A crimson ball of light shot into the sky, expanding instantly along with rolling heatwaves.

One zhang, ten zhang, fifty zhang... eventually transforming into a sky-propping giant shield a hundred zhang in diameter, hovering high in the Grotto-Heaven's sky, almost obscuring half the horizon, its gold-red light dyeing the sky a deep red.

This was only the minimum level of activation!

"Continue."

Yu Xuzi's expression was solemn as he poured all the magic power in his body into the blazing sun shield!

"Buzz buzz!!"

A world-shaking roar sounded, and the blazing sun shield expanded again, its diameter reaching one hundred and fifty zhang!

At the edges of the circular shield, it had already turned into a flowing, boiling sea of molten lava, frantically spreading hundreds of zhang in all directions.

"Crash~"

Red-gold lava fell from the shield's edge like a waterfall, only to swirl back up after falling ten zhang, repeating in a cycle.

The scorching heat caused the surrounding space to distort and deform. The massive Giant Blazing Sun Shield rotated slowly, each turn bringing a scorching wind of fire, as if fire feathers were scattering from the sky.

"This is... the power of a Magic Treasure!"

Beneath the shield.

Yu Xuzi looked up at the sky-covering giant shield and the thousand-zhang sea of fire, unable to help but reveal a slightly pale smile.

It can both defend and attack!

"Not bad!"

After only three breaths, Yu Xuzi beckoned with his hand.

The Giant Blazing Sun Shield withdrew the sea of fire and quickly shrank to the size of a palm, falling back into his body.

In just those two or three breaths, the magic power in Yu Xuzi's body had been completely drained, leaving not a single trace.

This was the first time since he started his path of Dao!

He could barely even maintain his Escape Light to stay in the air.

Just as Yu Xuzi began to fall, Embracing Star, who was watching the commotion nearby, hurriedly flew over and caught him with its golden back.

"Once I Breakthrough to the Late Dao Foundation Realm, I should be able to refine another Magic Treasure. Truly wonderful!"

Yu Xuzi closed his eyes in satisfaction.

Swallowing a Medicinal Pill, he began to recover his magic power.
