Chapter 268

Under the candlelight, Shi Xuan sat behind the table, with four storage bags in front of him. One of them was his own, which contained the Chaos Fish Skin, the Divine Stone of Two Realms, and the Yin-Yang Jade Tablet. Among them, the Chaos Fish Skin was dull. If it were not for the black and white Tai Chi pattern on it, no one would believe that it was a Natural Treasure. However, when Shi Xuan slightly stimulated it with Yin and Yang Qi, he saw many black and white prohibitions emerging in the fish skin, with a vast, ancient, and sacred feeling.

The God Stone of Two Realms looked like a crystal. Sometimes, it emitted a black light, and sometimes, it emitted a white light. It was dazzling, and it was obvious that it was a rare treasure. After Shi Xuan channeled his Yin and Yang Qi into it, he could see the mysterious restriction inside the transparent crystal. The restriction was also constantly flowing and changing between the two states.

The Yin-Yang Jade Tablet was in the shape of a commonly used jade in the ancient times, emitting a black and white light, making people feel hot and cold. Its upper part was sharp, and the lower part was flat, with simple and mysterious patterns. When Yin and Yang Qi were slightly activated, the patterns would shine and float a little on the surface.

The quantity of these three materials was not much. According to Shi Xuan's estimation, he could only refine it twice. In other words, Shi Xuan only had one chance of failure. However, Shi Xuan would not refine the Natal Celestial Device immediately. He must refine other ordinary celestial devices first to accumulate experience.

The second storage bag was given to him by Zhao Jingding, which contained the Inner Elixir of the Star Ironback Beast. In the future, when he returned to the sect, he could use it to refine the External Elixir to improve his life-saving strength.

The third storage bag was Jin Shijie's storage bag, which still had the prohibitions left by him. However, Shi Xuan was no longer the inexperienced and ignorant low-level cultivator before. After changing two methods, he broke the prohibitions. It was very empty inside, mainly with five Medium Level Spirit Stones, dozens of Low Level Spirit Stones, and some True Qi replenishing and healing elixirs. In addition, there were five cyan feathers, two of which had blue and red spots, exuding a fiery aura, which turned out to be the feathers of an adult Bi Fang. The other three were as blue as the sky, faintly revealing the power of space, which turned out to be the feathers of an adult Cyan Luan! Because they were adult, these two items were the best materials, and so were the two remaining Vermilion Bird feathers of Shi Xuan.

Shi Shuan inferred that these five feathers should be placed on the innermost white jade table on the left side of the Myriad Treasure Tower. Only that table could not be seen by Shi Shuan from the outside. When Shi Shuan went to the fourth floor, it had already been taken away. Now that he thought about it, it should be Jin Shijie who took these five feathers when he went to the fourth floor.

Now, it should be that Jin Shijie took these five feathers when he went to the fourth floor. Yes, these two feathers could be used as one of the materials for the Fan of Flames and Seven Fowl that he had planned. Although it was different from the original version, it wasn't too far off. It was just that he was a little reluctant to use the Azure Phoenix feather. After all, it was a rare material that contained space restrictions. It could be used to refine a life-saving magic tool that could break through space and escape! Of course, if this function could be integrated into the Five Flames Seven Birds Fan, it would be perfect. As for how to do it, he had to go back to the sect and consult the ancient books. Only the Five Flames Burning Banner in the "Treasure Record" was close, but it had nothing to do with space power.

After putting away the other three, Shi Xuan looked at the last plain storage bag, which was the one on Song Tsuruko. After Shi Xuan confirmed that this storage bag was a real space storage bag, with the restriction left by Song Tsuruko.

Song Tsuruko naturally couldn't be compared with Guang Yang Zhenren. The restriction left by him had become very weak hundreds of years after his death. However, it was still a little difficult for Shi Xuan.

Looking at this restriction carefully, he found that it was not an offensive restriction, but mainly for defense. Combined with his own advantages, Shi Xuan determined the way to break the restriction, that was to break it with force! Of course, the premise was to trigger the restriction. Otherwise, the storage bag would be destroyed at the same time as the restriction was broken.

According to the method learned from the sect, Shi Xuan recited a spell and then spat out two mouthfuls of Genuine Qi on the storage bag. Suddenly, the restriction on the storage bag lit up first, then expanded, and finally turned into a three-dimensional restriction with a radius of three feet around the storage bag.

In this three-foot space, there were dense and complex restrictions. Shi Xuan observed for a long time and finally found the core of the restriction. He suppressed the emotions in his heart, and according to the secret method, he kept typing white seal characters and spitting Genuine Qi on it. Slowly, the core of the restriction moved to the periphery.

A white Sword Qi flew out of Shi Xuan's nostrils and hit the core of the restriction at a very fast speed. The core of the restriction only lit up for a moment, and then it was shattered by the Sword Qi. It was completely dim, and the whole restriction disintegrated.

Song Chenzi's storage bag was as empty as Jin Shijie's. Except for the only two items, there were no secret treasures, talismans, magic weapons, or spiritual weapons. He must have consumed a lot of them when breaking the restriction on the fourth floor of the Ten Thousand Treasure Tower. Later, he was damaged by the counterattack of the restriction.

As for the elixirs and spiritual herbs, because hundreds of years had passed, the restriction to maintain their efficacy had long been gone. After all, Song Chenzi's strength was still far from the Primordial Spirit Stage, so they had become a pile of waste.

However, the ten Upper Level Spirit Stones were not affected. They were still so crystal clear and beautiful. In addition, there were some materials that were not so good, which were just right for Shi Xuan to practice.

Hehe, Song Chenzi must have planned to take the magic weapon first, and then take the following materials. Who knew that later, when he was seriously injured and fled, he could not spare any attention to take the materials.

One of the only two items was the Star Observing Plate that Shi Xuan had to get. It was a bowl-sized formation plate. It was engraved with a complicated diagram of the stars in the sky.

The other was a dark black bead, which was faintly enshrouded with black fire. Shi Xuan could not recognize it, but it seemed to be related to the Earth Lung Yin Fire.

Song Chenzi did not leave the method of sacrificially refining these two items. Shi Xuan could only slowly activate the restriction and slowly master it. Fortunately, there were not many layers of restriction refined by the Star Observing Plate. There were only 33 layers, so he could master it within a year.

Originally, Shi Xuan thought that Song Chenzi would leave the Taoist Method Jade Slip, the refining method of the magic weapon, and other things in the storage bag, but he did not find any of them. Maybe he gave them to someone close before entering the Holy Realm Dwellers' Mansion.

After the inspection, Shi Xuan transferred all the items in the rest of the storage bag to Song Chenzi's space storage bag. Even so, the space storage bag was still empty.

The next day, Shi Xuan came to the Coiled Snake Hill alone, where there were dozens of refining rooms with Earth Fire.

"Senior, which refining room do you want to choose? I will drive the people inside out immediately." Xiao Wu, the shifty-eyed Out of Body Stage cultivator who was responsible for taking Shi Xuan to choose a refining room, said with a flattering smile. The pressure of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi on Shi Xuan was not fake.

How could Shi Xuan let him do this? Anyway, he was not in a hurry, "Which refining room has a more stable and hot earth fire?"

"Room A2, it just so happens that there's no one there. Senior, you really have good taste." Xiao Wu flattered.

"How many spirit stones a day?" With the spirit stones of Jin Shijie and Song Chenzi, Shi Xuan could be regarded as rich and overbearing.

Xiao Wu hurriedly said, "Ten low-grade spirit stones a day."

"How many spirit stones does I rent it for a year?" In the first half of the year, Shi Xuan planned to refine some ordinary magic tools to accumulate experience. In the second half of the year, he would start to refine his natal magic tool.

Xiao Wu was shocked. He had never seen anyone rent a room for a year. Ordinary cultivators only needed a month at most to refine a magic tool! Thus, he stammered, "I'll take 3,600 low-grade spirit stones from you, Senior. That's 36 mid-grade spirit stones."

Shi Xuan took out a high-grade spirit stone and handed it to him, "Give me this much first. After all, I don't know if I will stay for more than a year. I will settle it when I leave."

"Okay, okay, okay." Xiao Wu answered in a daze. A cultivator in his realm had never seen a high-grade spirit stone. Even his boss, a Qi Drawing Stage cultivator, had never seen one. High-grade spirit stones produced in the natural world were the best. As for top-grade spirit stones, no one knew where to find them. Those that were still in circulation were passed down from generation to generation.

"By the way, there is one more thing. I wonder if I can entrust the magic tool that I refined to you to help me sell? Of course, the reward will not be small. " Shi Xuan thought that he couldn't keep the magic tools that he used for practice, so he simply asked Xiao Wu, who seemed to have a wide circle of friends, to sell them on his behalf.

Xiao Wu beamed, "Of course, I would be happy to." The doubts in his heart lessened a lot. This senior seemed to refine magic tools for a living. No wonder he wanted to rent it for a year.

Following Xiao Wu into room A2, Shi Xuan saw that the inside was very clean. Apart from the earth fire eruption in the center of the room, there was only a stone table.

The earth fire eruption was surrounded by an array. As long as Shi Xuan activated it, the earth fire would erupt from it. Moreover, this array could be used to adjust the size of the earth fire, the speed of eruption, and so on.

Nine months later.

On the Coiled Snake Mound, a few loose cultivators had just finished refining magic tools when they saw a familiar person walking over. The leader shouted, "Brother Xiao, why haven't you sold any magic tools recently? We are still looking forward to it. Your magic tools are really cheap and of good quality. "

Xiao Wu frowned and couldn't help but look at room A2. "Ah, don't mention it. That senior has been in seclusion since four months ago. I don't know what he is refining. How can I have magic tools to sell?"

Now was the critical moment for Shi Xuan to refine the Tai Chi diagram. He stood at the earth fire eruption and constantly shot out runes formed by the Ancient Thunder Mark, Ancient Cloud Seal Script, and other runes onto a picture of a black and white Yin and Yang fish entangled head and tail.

In the first five months, with the exception of the first month, which was completely wasted, Shi Xuan refined more and more magic tools under the guidance of his master, Mo Yuan. He sold all the magic tools he refined at the cost price to Xiao Wu and earned back 45 middle-grade spirit stones. As for how much Xiao Wu earned, Shi Xuan didn't know. Moreover, during this time, his True Qi had broken through to the third grade.

Shi Xuan, who felt that his refining technique was already very proficient, began to refine the Tai Chi diagram in the fifth month. However, his first refining ended in failure. Now it was the second time. If he failed, he could only find materials again.

However, this time, Shi Xuan was full of confidence. Because of his first refining experience, he knew many key points.

At the last moment, Shi Xuan spat out two black and white runes intertwined with each other. They were the Heaven Creation Yang runes and the World Creation Yin runes. These two runes slowly flew towards the Tai Chi diagram. This small distance took a full hour! Shi Xuan's face was full of sweat. He had consumed 80% of his True Qi and magic power.

When the black and white runes landed on the Tai Chi diagram, all the restrictions on the Tai Chi diagram shone brightly and danced around them. The noon sun outside the house suddenly darkened. Dark clouds covered the sky. Soon, it began to rain heavily.
