Ever since the Heavenly Demon created chaos, seven years had passed in a flash.
In the pill room of the Du Zhen Hall, twenty-four flood dragons were circling around a pill furnace. Below them was a dense ball of fire that was rolling around the bottom of the furnace. Every ten breaths of time, a flood dragon would spit out true fire to prolong the fire.
Even further away, there were more than thirty half-naked Mastiffs wearing only animal skin skirts. They were walking back and forth with long whips in their hands. Whenever they saw a slacking Flood Dragon, they would angrily rebuke it and whip it again.
Under such whipping, even though these Inky Flood Dragons were dissatisfied, they could only spit out True Fire desperately.
As for the Forbidden Spirit, she stood above and looked around with her beautiful eyes, staring at them closely.
She knew that flood dragons were lazy by nature, and this batch of flood dragons had just arrived. The more honest ones would usually be obedient after a few whips, while the more cunning ones would think of ways to fake their errands as soon as they relaxed a little. Therefore, she had to discipline them severely.
Sure enough, after a short while, he saw an old dragon panting heavily. It looked like it was trying very hard, but the true fire it spat out was much smaller. It was obviously just putting on an act and not putting in any effort.
She pointed and shouted, "Tie it up for me."
With her order, several strong Bi people immediately rushed out and dragged it down together. They used Cloud Sun Gold Lock to tie it to the pillar at the side, and then raised their whips to whip it. No matter how it begged for mercy, they didn't stop. They beat it until the dragon scales were scattered, blood splattered, and it was on the verge of death. Just Now, they stopped.
However, these flood dragons were demons. They looked pitiful, but in fact, they only suffered a little physical pain. They didn't injure their foundation.
The Forbidden Spirit waved her hand, and another Bi person came up and stuffed a lot of medicinal pills into its mouth. Not long after, the old flood dragon's injuries gradually recovered. However, they didn't let it go. Instead, they gave it another good beating. After three rounds of torment, they finally put it down.
At this moment, this flood dragon was already tamed. When it returned to the top, it began to spit out True Fire with all its might. He didn't dare to slack off anymore.
Only then did the Forbidden Spirit nod with satisfaction. Suddenly, her expression changed, and she looked toward the high platform inside the hall. She saw a grand clear light falling down, and after it spread out, Zhang Yan was already standing there. She hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "This servant greets Master."
At this moment, a tall and sturdy man walked over and knelt on the ground with a loud thud. He said, "Greetings to Grand Master."
His figure was enormous, over a hundred meters tall, and he was an entire level taller than his fellow clansmen. Moreover, his voice was incomparably resounding, and it shook the entire hall to the point it rumbled and reverberated.
The Forbidden Spirit said, "This is Wu Kun, the leader of those puppets."
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Get up, Chief Wu."
Wu Kun was immediately overwhelmed by the favor. Although he looked crude on the outside, he was actually very quick-witted. He hurriedly said that he didn't dare, but he still lay there, not daring to get up.
Zhang Yan smiled. Letting him be, he asked the Forbidden Spirit, "How's the refinement of the treasure fetus?"
The Forbidden Spirit bowed and replied, "Since Master brought those treasured materials last time, the refinement has been much faster. This servant thinks that in another half a month's time, it will be done. It will be done when the time is right. "
Zhang Yan glanced at the furnace and couldn't help but nod.
The treasured materials to refine this treasure were not easy to come by, and it was impossible to gather them again. He had to ensure that it would pass in one go. Since it wouldn't take long, it would be done. To prevent any unforeseen events, he decided to wait here for a while. Thus, he waved his sleeves and sat down on the high platform.
The Forbidden Spirit saw that he had no intention of leaving, so she hurriedly called a few people over and served fragrant tea. Then, she retreated to the side and waited to be summoned at any time.
Wu Kun saw that after Hall Master Du Zhen, Zhang Yan, arrived, he put in even more effort. He walked around below and urged his people. For a moment, the sound of whips could be heard in the hall, but it made the Inky Flood Dragons miserable.
Fifteen days passed quickly. Through the three Yin Yang holes of the furnace, a burning light could be seen from time to time. As long as a cultivator knew a little about refining, they would know that this was the sign that the treasure was about to be ripened. Originally, there should be a loud sound. However, this furnace was not normal. It sealed all the spiritual vigor inside and couldn't leak out, so only the spiritual light could be seen.
Usually, at such a time, it would require a person with profound cultivation to open a Qi orifice on the treasure body and let heaven and earth exchange spiritual vigor. Only then could it exist in the world. This was like the birth of a baby and the sound of its umbilical cord breaking.
However, this situation was different from the birth of a normal treasure.
The Earth Splitting Heaven and Earth Leaf was refined for the second time. Originally, there was a True Consciousness left. After the reconstruction of the fetus body, it was the same as being reborn. The True Consciousness would fall into a muddle-headed state and not recognize its owner. It would naturally resist the invasion of spiritual vigor.
If one used too much force here and hurt the True Consciousness, they might not be able to refine it into a treasure in the future.
However, if one were to relax, they might not be able to open the Qi orifice. The treasure would be equivalent to a dead object. Even if they could try to refine it in the future, they would only be able to retain a few percent of its original power. It would be equivalent to working hard for nothing.
When a treasure refining cultivator reached this step, if they had no confidence, they would rather forcefully open the orifice. Even if they hurt the treasure, it was better than working hard for nothing.
The Forbidden Spirit knew the key to this. He didn't dare to make a decision on his own. He turned around and asked, "Master, the temperature in the room is sufficient. Do you want to open the furnace?"
As a Grotto-Heaven cultivator, Zhang Yan's mana was profound. He didn't need to be as careful as normal people. He said calmly, "You can open the furnace now."
The Forbidden Spirit didn't hesitate. He first ordered the masked men to disperse the flood dragons. Then, he used his mana to move and dispel the restriction above.
Without the suppression of the restrictions, a deafening explosion could be heard. The entire Pill Hall shook violently, and the lid of the cauldron shattered into pieces. After that, a ray of spiritual light rushed out from the cauldron, and only stopped after reaching ten thousand feet into the sky.
Zhang Yan was paying attention to the changes in the furnace. He saw an object flying away from the spiritual light, as if it wanted to escape. He flicked his finger, and a ray of green light flew out like a thread. It hit the object right in the middle. The object instantly trembled and stopped moving. After a while, a deep breathing sound could be heard, as if a giant in the sky was inhaling and exhaling.
When the leader of the frivolous people, Wu Kun, saw that the Qi orifice of the treasure had been opened. At this moment, it was already a success. He just needed to go back and nourish it a little. He immediately bowed and said, "Congratulations on obtaining the treasure, Master."
However, Zhang Yan stared at the sky and said, "I'm afraid it's not complete yet."
Wu Kun couldn't help but be startled. When he looked up again, he saw countless dense mist surging around the treasure. When looking from below, it seemed to faintly gather into the shape of a dragon.
Just as he was engrossed in it, his vision suddenly darkened. He was shocked to find that the sky was covered by dark clouds, and there were sounds of thunder coming from within.
The Forbidden Spirit's expression changed, and he said anxiously, "Master, this is the Treasured Heart Tribulation. I think it's because of that dragon spine. Master, please take out your seal to suppress it."
The so-called Treasured Heart Tribulation was because the treasure material used to refine the treasure was too powerful. As a result, when the treasure was born, it would cause the spiritual vigor of the area to be in turmoil. Yin and Yang would not be in harmony, and water and fire would be out of balance. Instead, it would be struck by lightning.
If the cultivation of the treasure refiner was high enough, most of them would try to disperse it. Otherwise, they could only watch the treasure deal with it. If they could pass through this tribulation, their embryonic heart would be even more powerful, and they would have a good fortune in the future. However, if they couldn't pass through it, they would be reduced to dust.
However, Zhang Yan's expression didn't change. In order to rebuild the Heaven and Earth Leaf's embryo, he used a real dragon spine. He wasn't surprised by such an unforeseen event. He waved his hand and said, "There's no need to do this, let it be."
This Xuanze Ocean Realm was a world of its own. Although it attracted spiritual vigor, its power was far from the outside world. If the Heaven and Earth Leaf couldn't even pass through such a small tribulation, then what was the use of it for him?
At this moment, there were bolts of lightning flashing across the sky. It was dazzling, and the sound of the thunder was even louder than the world outside. If the Heaven and Earth Leaf couldn't even pass through such a small tribulation, then what was the use of it for him?
Facing such a great power, all the Inky Flood Dragons hid under the platform and curled up into a ball. Even so, they were still shivering, afraid that they would be caught in the crossfire.
Although the Inky Flood Dragons weren't afraid, they were shocked by the power and didn't dare to move around recklessly.
The lightning lasted for half a month before it gradually stopped. After another one or two days, the clouds and rain finally dispersed. There was only a shell leaf floating in the sky. There was a circle of gentle light around it. As it swayed gently, there was a fragrance in the air.
All the Inky Flood Dragons below had crawled out, as if they encountered some tonic, and were greedily swallowing it.
Zhang Yan looked at it for a moment and called out softly in his heart. That treasured leaf felt its master calling and immediately responded. With a gentle wave, it floated down and stopped an inch away from his palm, slowly spinning and dancing in the air.
Zhang Yan focused his eyes and looked. Just Now, when the Heaven and Earth Leaf came out of the furnace, he saw clearly that the embryo was not much different from before. However, after being purified by the lightning, it looked completely new.
The surface of the leaf was translucent and bright like crystal jade. It was thin and soft, extremely transparent. When it was held on the palm, even the lines on the palm could be seen clearly. Every leaf stem was fine and delicate, and between the veins and lines, it was very mysterious. It was as if it was made by the heavens. Wisps of spiritual light spilled out from it, illuminating the surrounding three feet.
This leaf vein was actually formed from the dragon spine. With it as the carrier, this item was truly worthy of the name of Heaven and Earth.
As its master, Zhang Yan could feel the true consciousness cheering and jumping in joy, as if it couldn't wait to go out and show off its might. He smiled and calmed it down with a thought. It obediently waited and didn't move.
He watched for a moment and suddenly focused his eyes. He saw the blurry figure of an infant inside. It was currently hugging itself as if it was sleeping soundly in its mother's womb. He knew that after this tempering, its spiritual consciousness had improved again. However, to truly become a true spirit, he still needed to work hard to nourish and refine it.
However, a few hundred years later would be the great calamity. He had to think of a way to succeed before that, or else it would be useless even if he obtained it.
He looked again and the precious leaf sensed it. It turned into spots of spiritual light and entered his palm.
After Zhang Yan kept the talisman, he looked down and said, "Today, the talisman has been refined successfully because of everyone's efforts. Everyone will be rewarded."
All the Inky Flood Dragon Raja below were overjoyed and kowtowed endlessly.
Zhang Yan gave a few instructions to the Restricted Spirit and after instructing it to take care of this matter, he turned into light and flew into the sky, returning to the main hall.
