108: Refining Immortal Weapon

Two days later.

Su Changqing walked out of Gu Xiran's Immortal Cave with a beaming smile, stretching lazily, his face full of satisfaction.

He had to admit, his Revered Master was incredibly formidable now.

"As expected of Revered Master!"

Su Changqing chuckled with emotion, then left the Immortal Cave and returned to his own residence.

After these two days of Cultivation, the True Qi within Su Changqing's body had once again improved significantly.

After all, his Revered Master was a Saint Realm Expert; even a single drop of Spiritual Liquid given to him would result in considerable progress, let alone the fact that his Revered Master was not a stingy person and had given countless drops of Spiritual Liquid to Su Changqing, so how could he not improve?

Back at his residence, Su Changqing composed himself and summoned System Bro.

Although he had claimed System Bro's gift package, he hadn't had time to refine and use the treasures inside.

"Shennong Cauldron, Immortal Rank Magic Treasure."

"It can not only melt all things but also Cultivate Spirit Medicine."

With a thought from Su Changqing, an ancient, half-human-tall cauldron appeared out of thin air before him, its dark black surface engraved with countless mysterious runes, profound beyond measure.

He sat cross-legged, controlling his mind to imprint a mark on the Shennong Cauldron, establishing a connection, and in an instant, all the functions of the Shennong Cauldron clearly appeared in his mind.

"I wonder how terrifying this cauldron's ability to Cultivate Spirit Medicine is."

Su Changqing was a little curious.

With a thought, a common first-grade Spirit Medicine, Purple Star Grass, appeared in his hand, and he then placed it into the Shennong Cauldron.

The next moment, the originally calm cauldron suddenly stirred, emitting a rich medicinal fragrance, and Spiritual Qi wafted towards him.

Half an hour later, the Shennong Cauldron stopped moving.

Su Changqing took out the Spirit Medicine from the Shennong Cauldron.

The original first-grade Spirit Medicine, Purple Star Grass, had already completed its transformation.

"Hiss, in just half an hour, this ten-year-old first-grade Spirit Medicine was cultivated into a fifty-year-old third-grade Spirit Medicine. Such speed is too terrifying. As expected of an Immortal Artifact."

Su Changqing couldn't help but be astonished.

The effect of the Shennong Cauldron was truly terrifying; in just half an hour, it cultivated a first-grade Spirit Medicine to a third-grade level. If this were to spread, it would likely shock the entire Continent.

Of course, higher-grade Spirit Medicine would require more time to improve their grade.

Afterward, Su Changqing used the Shennong Cauldron to attempt Alchemy. He was originally a sixth-grade Alchemist, and with the blessing of the Emperor-level Exotic Fire, Nine Nether Bone Spirit Fire, his success rate in Alchemy was extremely high.

Now, with the added efficacy of the Shennong Cauldron, Su Changqing directly refined a seventh-grade Medicinal Pill in one go, and the success rate was not low, thus smoothly promoting him to a seventh-grade Alchemist.

Then, Su Changqing took out the Emperor Abyss Sword and the Eastern Emperor Bell.

Both of these were Immortal Artifacts, extremely powerful.

The former was a Sharp Weapon for attack, while the latter was both offensive and defensive.

With the addition of these two Immortal Artifacts, Su Changqing's strength increased by more than tenfold.

He imprinted his mark on both Immortal Artifacts and then placed them inside his body for nourishment.

Immortal Artifacts, once a connection is established through imprinting, can be placed inside the body for nourishment, and even if the Immortal Artifact is damaged in the future, it can be repaired within the body.

"Tsk tsk tsk, with three Immortal Artifacts in hand, one for support, one for attack, and the other for both offense and defense."

Su Changqing stroked his chin, muttering to himself with a joyful expression.

"With the blessing of the Emperor Abyss Sword and the Eastern Emperor Bell, the combat power I can unleash will likely have another qualitative leap. Below the Monarch Realm, I should be invincible."

With the help of the Emperor Abyss Sword and the Eastern Emperor Bell, Su Changqing was confident that he was invincible below the Monarch Realm.

Even against a Martial Artist in the Monarch Realm, he might not necessarily be at a disadvantage.

However, without experiencing a life-and-death battle, he wasn't sure how terrifying his own strength was.

After refining all three Immortal Artifacts and taking them into his body, Su Changqing took out another supreme treasure: Profound Yellow Qi!

It is said that this object was a mysterious Qi formed from the division of Chaos Qi when the heavens and earth first opened, containing the Origin power of the Universe.

If he were to refine it, the improvement in his strength would likely be considerable.

Without any hesitation, Su Changqing sat cross-legged, composed himself, and began to refine this wisp of Profound Yellow Qi.

After all, although Profound Yellow Qi was precious, it only had value if refined to improve strength. Su Changqing naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to keep it as a collection without improving his strength.

In an instant.

As the Profound Yellow Qi entered his body, Su Changqing felt a sudden clarity of mind, and he controlled his thoughts to continuously refine it.

...

Time passed quickly.

These days, the outside world was in an uproar, and the entire Heavenly Martial Continent was undergoing major changes.

Zen Heart Temple was annihilated, and the Four Great Sacred Grounds took over Zen Heart Temple's territory. Tai Xuan Sect also expanded significantly, increasing its territory.

On the other hand, because Zen Heart Temple's treasury was missing, countless Martial Artists extensively searched for it, which consequently led to an unprecedented war of extermination against Buddhism.

Any Buddhist Martial Artist encountered was killed first, then their corpse was searched.

In just over half a month, almost all Buddhist Martial Artists on the Heavenly Martial Continent were wiped out, and most of those who survived had renounced their monastic vows.

It is said that some monks, to avoid being killed, bought wigs the same day they renounced their vows, and those with high Cultivation directly used True Qi to stimulate hair growth.

Nangong Family!

"Damn it, after killing so many monks, we still haven't found Zen Heart Temple's resources accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years! Who stole them?!"

Nangong Bo's face was gloomy, his words tinged with anger.

Although the Nangong Family had gained forty percent of the Buddhist Domain's territory, this was far from comparable to Zen Heart Temple's hundreds of thousands of years of accumulated resources. It simply couldn't compensate for the loss caused by the demise of that Saint Realm Expert from the Nangong Family.

Thinking of the Second Elder's death, Nangong Bo felt a lump in his throat.

The Elders of the Nangong Family also looked somewhat grim.

Nangong Ling pouted and said,

"In my opinion, that guy Su Changqing is quite suspicious. That kid is sneaky and not a good person."

Nangong Bo frowned upon hearing this, waving his hand and saying,

"Enough, don't talk nonsense. Su Changqing was there throughout the battle. How could he have time to steal those things?

Moreover, although his talent is strong, there were two Peak Supreme Realm Martial Artists guarding Zen Heart Temple's treasury; he couldn't possibly have done it."

Nangong Bo knew that his son had some animosity towards Su Changqing, and it was normal for him to be displeased.

But although that kid's talent was very strong, his strength was still lacking; it was impossible for him to be the culprit.

The other Elders also nodded.

It could be anyone, but absolutely not this Saint Su.

Nangong Ling pouted and said no more upon hearing this.

He also knew it couldn't be Su Changqing, but he was just a little displeased. After all, Su Changqing's talent was too terrifying, and he felt a great deal of pressure.

"Alright, continue searching for Zen Heart Temple's treasury. The most important thing now is to take over forty percent of the Buddhist Domain's territory to compensate for some of our losses."

Nangong Bo finally made the decision and spoke.

"Yes!"

Everyone nodded in response.
