From then on, Qin Di would fly into the Green Darkness every morning to collect the purple gas. In the evening, he would repeatedly perform the Gentle Breeze and Fine Rain, Bleak Wind and Cold Rain, and sometimes he would add in the Chaotic Sunset Divine Sense attack. The rest of the time was spent improving the Four Arts of Cultivation and practicing the zither.
Another ten years passed quickly. His four arts of cultivation had all been upgraded to first-grade immortal-level, and he could already refine first-grade immortal pills, immortal formations, and immortal talismans. As for immortal artifacts, he could already make numinous artifact artifacts, including the Wutong Tree Heart he obtained from Cangwu Island, which he made into a fourth-grade spiritual treasure zither. The spirit sword he made could survive two lightning tribulations in one go and become a second-grade supreme spiritual treasure.
Speaking of which, supreme spiritual treasures were equivalent to spirit immortal artifacts. Since he could make them, it meant that he was already a master of refinement and could be called an immortal refinement master.
During this period, Qin Di kept opening the hundred or so grotto-heavens he obtained from Three Lives Island and gathered all the golden books and jade slips together, placing them in the library of Epang Palace. He found that the quality of the golden books and jade slips was very high. Clearly, those who could cross the Dead Sea to Three Lives Island were true elites among cultivators. The cultivation techniques they cultivated were very unique.
One day, he found a book called "Heavenly Immortal Wood Sacrifice" among the many golden books and jade slips. This was a true wood-elemental cultivation manual. It described how to use the wood sacrifice method to fuse and upgrade wood-elemental spiritual materials, thereby obtaining Heavenly Immortal grade spiritual wood. Not only could the wood sacrifice increase the spiritual wood's grade, but it could also make the fused spiritual wood obedient. Just like the fused spiritual fire, it could be used to make all kinds of artifacts at will.
Qin Di was overjoyed because he recalled the tree-heart he obtained from the Sacred Mountain. The Wutong Tree on Sacred Mountain was a first-grade Heavenly Immortal. If it was made into a phoenix zither, it would also be a first-grade immortal artifact. If it could be further upgraded through the wood sacrifice method, it might be possible to obtain a higher-grade immortal artifact. There was also another benefit. The fused wooden heart would be very obedient and easier to carve. It might even be able to change its shape at will, and even play immortal music on its own!
Since there were so many benefits, Qin Di could not help but be tempted.
He carefully pondered for a few days before carefully making the altar.
The Wood Offering Altar was different from the Fire Offering Altar.
The materials of the Red Pagoda were all kinds of spiritual flames, and the power came from the burning of a few different kinds of spiritual wood. Thus, it was classified as "wood feeds fire".
The materials used for the Wood Sacrifice were all kinds of spirit wood of heaven and earth. Its power came from soaking in water. It needed seven different kinds of spirit water, so it was classified as "water culvert wood".
The specific steps were similar to the method Qin Di had used to save Fan Yao. He needed to find a high-grade spirit tree and make a wooden barrel out of it. Then, he would carve all kinds of runes on the barrel, mainly variations of the Xun and Dui trigrams. Then, he would put all kinds of spirit wood into the barrel and change the spirit water every seven days. After 49 days, he would be able to fuse several kinds of spirit wood and promote the spirit wood to upgrade.
Qin Di shuttled through the various grotto-heavens in search of the spiritual wood and spiritual water that he needed. In the end, he really managed to find all seven types of spiritual water and more than two thousand pieces of spiritual wood.
He then began to make the altar and carve runes.
He wasn't sure if this Wood Sacrifice would succeed in one go, so he took out the other Wutong Wood Heart he got from Green Parasol Island and threw it into the barrel.
He got three pieces of wood heart from Green Parasol Island. One was given to Ao Ying, one was made into a level four zither, and the last was a level six immortal spirit wood. It had a high chance of being made into a level six zither, so he took it out for an experiment.
Qin Di threw nearly a hundred pieces of all kinds of spirit wood into the barrel and started the Wood Sacrifice, changing the spirit water every seven days.
After 49 days, he took out the level six immortal spirit wood and found that it had advanced to the peak of level seven! If it was used to make a zither, it could be made into a level seven zither at the very least. If he was lucky, it might even reach level eight.
Qin Di was overjoyed, "Haha, my luck is not bad, the experiment is a success!"
So, he took out the first level Heaven Immortal Wutong Wood Heart he got from the Holy Mountain and put it into the barrel. Then, he threw in eight hundred pieces of spirit wood and started the Wood Sacrifice.
In the blink of an eye, another 49 days passed. Not bad, not bad, it had advanced to level two Heaven Immortal!
Then, he threw the remaining thousand pieces of spirit wood into the barrel and started the Wood Sacrifice again.
However, the result this time was regrettable, it was still a second level Heaven Immortal! He didn't get another upgrade.
Qin Di fished out the thousand pieces of spirit wood and inspected them carefully. He found that they were all drained of spiritual energy.
He understood in his heart, "It's not that the Wood Sacrifice failed, it's just that I didn't put in enough spirit wood! Looks like I need to look for more spirit wood. "
He held the second level Heaven Immortal Wutong Wood Heart in his hand. Sure enough, he felt a connection with it. After the Wood Sacrifice, this piece of wood heart became obedient. He tried to change the shape of the wood heart, and the result was that the wood heart actually followed his will and turned into a zither's panel!
"Ha, this is too mysterious! I don't even need to carve it, it already looks like a zither. As long as I add some accessories, it will become a real phoenix zither! "
Qin Di felt like there was a ball of fire in his heart, and he couldn't calm it down no matter what. Thus, he looked for the accessories and started to make the zither.
The zither strings were made of natural silk, and the other accessories were made of ivory.
When the zither was almost finished, there were still three strings left. Qin Di suddenly felt his heart palpitate! It was an indescribable sudden heartache, as if the world was sad and unable to suppress the feeling.
He quickly stopped and calculated with his fingers. He instantly understood that if this zither was completed, it would cause an earth-shattering commotion!
If the Immortal Zither was born on Heavenly Star Island, the entire Golden Pill Sect might be destroyed!
All his family and friends might encounter great trouble, and even die tragically!
After calculating, Qin Di's face turned pale with fright!
"This is courting death! The Immortal Zither can't be born here! After the Immortal Zither is born, it must first pass the Heaven Immortal level tribulation, and then there must be an earth-shattering phenomenon. It might cause Dao Integration ancestors and even Earth Immortals to fight for it! With my current cultivation, unless I ride the Sky-reaching Ship at high speed, I can't do it. "
He changed his mind. "Can I ride the Sky-reaching Ship and fly while making the Immortal Zither go through the tribulation?"
The Sky-reaching Ship answered quickly, "No! Master! This is the Heaven Immortal level tribulation, and I'm only a third-stage spirit treasure. How can I withstand it? "
Qin Di thought again, "Maybe I can find a deserted mountain, set up an immortal formation, and then go through the tribulation?"
But doing this might not necessarily be safe. Even if he was able to persist until the end of the tribulation under the protection of the Immortal Formation, once Earthly Immortal Realm experts were drawn over, then with these people standing guard outside, it was still difficult to say if he would be able to escape!
So no matter how Qin Di thought about it, this was a hot potato!
"Forget it, I'll put away the half-finished Immortal Zither first. I'll think about it when the time is right!"
Then, he took out a peak seventh-stage Spirit Immortal-grade Wood Heart and started to make the zither. After the Wood Sacrifice, although the seventh-stage Spirit Immortal-grade Wood Heart could not automatically turn into a zither board like the second-stage Heaven Immortal Parasol Wood, it became much softer. With a light stroke, Qin Di could remove the unnecessary parts, and soon it looked like a zither board.
Without the Wood Sacrifice, even a fifth-stage Spirit Immortal-grade Wood Heart would be very hard, and it would take at least half a year to carve. A seventh-stage Spirit Immortal-grade Wood Heart was even more difficult.
So after the Wood Sacrifice, it was very convenient. In just a few days, Qin Di had made a seventh-stage Spirit Immortal-grade zither. After the intense Lightning Tribulation, he had another high-grade Supreme Spiritual Treasure.
Now, he had three zithers in his hands, one seventh-stage and one fourth-stage, both made of Parasol Wood. The other fifth-stage zither was made of Spruce Wood.
To be honest, he did not need so many zithers. The fourth-stage zither was prepared for his disciple, Bai Dong 'er.
Qin Di had left the Immortal Music Sect for 27 years, and it was time to return to the Dreamy Cloud Swamp.
Before leaving, he bid farewell to his friends, family, and disciples.
At this time, Long Jin 'er had formed her Gold Core, Miao Yunjuan and Zhuang Yunqing had advanced to the eighth level of the Golden Core Realm, and Ning Yunzhi, who had been staying on Scarlet Fire Island, had actually stepped into the ninth level.
It was worth mentioning that Ling Xiao's Ah Zi had advanced to the peak of the Ninth Stage, and she could face the Lightning Tribulation at any time. After passing the Lightning Tribulation, spirit plants would become Immortal Spiritual Wood. As long as they took the Form Transformation Elixir, they would be able to transform into human form. Without the Form Transformation Elixir, spirit plants could not transform as they wished, or they would be struck by Heavenly Lightning at any time. As for why this happened? It was said that it involved the laws of heaven, and only human cultivators could refine the Form Transformation Elixir. It could help spirit plants hide their auras and avoid the punishment of Heavenly Lightning.
"Brother, next time you go out, you can bring Ah Zi with you, right?"
"Yes! Bye, Ah Zi! "
