"Senior Brother..."
Xuan Du Daoist, one of the five disciples of Tiandu Sect, stared blankly at the back of Li Kunlun and suddenly sighed.
He knew, in front of that dazzling Senior Brother, the rest of the five were rely ants.
Even the green leaves beside the flowers were hardly a worthy match!
At this mont, he felt the ambiance turn awkward and hurriedly said, "Our sect knew of the impending fire disaster here and specifically ordered Senior Brother to co and quell it. What a boundless rit... Now that everything is settled, I shall take my leave."
He hardly had ti to wipe the cold sweat from his brow before he transford into a stream of light and vanished, his heart secretly complaining: ’Master decided to strike at the Xuanji Hundred Refining Sect without informing beforehand, nearly got killed too...’
"So this is... the Spiritual Treasure of this realm? It indeed possesses the mana of an Ancient Primordial Spirit!"
Zhong Shenxiu watched this scene and sighed.
Naturally, those Ancient Spiritual Treasures were revered, but their spiritual intelligence wasn’t too high, and in the various sects, most of them were treated as revered ancestors for tributes.
They were rarely summoned to venture outside.
Precisely because they were not very easy to manipulate, they were adequate for guarding the sect, but using them to chase enemies would be overkill like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.
’If I want to flee, as long as I’m not trapped, I could probably escape... but I absolutely can’t defeat them...’
’Tiandu Sect dares to let soone carry a Spiritual Treasure outside because they obviously know that only the Spiritual Treasure bullies others, not the other way around!’
’Without a Primordial Spirit Practitioner, these five Ancient Spiritual Treasures are practically cheating...’
Having seen that everything had concluded, he likewise called out Yu Tongzi and commanded, "This old ancestor is also leaving..."
Yu Tongzi promptly let out a long cry, spread his wings, and quickly flew away.
The Sect Leader of Xuanji Hundred Refining Sect suddenly thought of sothing and shouted, "That fire dragon... return my fire dragon... Without that last Poison Fire Dragon, what can my Hundred Refinent Sect refine now..."
...
Zhong Shenxiu sat atop Yu Tongzi, holding a piece of jade slip in his hand.
"Actually... this Soul Stealing Technique is already quite complete, it just lacks a part dealing with purification in the new thods... After adding that, it will beco a complete breakthrough for the Primordial Spirit thod, perhaps it could be called — the Soul-Entrusting thod!"
This thod had sowhat the essence of Artifact Refining.
Moreover, once achieved, a cultivator could fully wield the might of a Spiritual Treasure, with mana on par with an Ancient Primordial Spirit.
Alas... Zhong Shenxiu outright dismissed this proposal.
After all, he couldn’t possibly cease being a human and turn into a Spiritual Treasure.
And upon success, how would a Spiritual Treasure cultivate on its own?
Was it supposed to rely on external tributes?
"It’s also a pitfall!"
Zhong Shenxiu glanced at Yu Tongzi seated below, causing the latter to suddenly shiver and secretly lant, "Master seems to harbor so unfriendly thoughts, this old bird is going to be tricked..."
’Letting this foolish bird refine itself into a Spiritual Treasure could be quite good... At least, I wouldn’t lack Ancient Spiritual Treasures to use in the future?’
Zhong Shenxiu thought about it but then chuckled wryly.
The challenge of this Soul-Entrusting thod wasn’t the thod itself but the materials.
After all, an artifact like those in the Wanxiang Palace, which is just half a step from advancent, is extrely rare.
Let this bird sche and deceive all it wants, it would probably take a hundred years to barely gather a single feather...
Didn’t they see that the six major orthodox sects this ti failed and the old monsters nearly coughed up blood?
That truly nearly bankrupted them!
"This Soul-Entrusting thod is powerful in mana and unrivaled in combat capabilities; it, too, was forcefully built upon a mountain of resources..."
Zhong Shenxiu pondered for a mont, then suddenly waved his hand and released an Ancient Poison Fire Dragon.
This dragon’s eight brothers had all been devoured by the Ancient Seven Flas Flag as if they were re snacks, and only this one, shielded within Zhong Shenxiu’s sleeve, had escaped that fate.
But now, erging with madness and tyranny in its dragon eyes, it was evident that once it escaped, a great drought was bound to occur.
"The Ancient Earth Lungs Poison Fire is far too fierce; this spirited fla was born from it, ignorant in nature and ruthless in ferocity yet strong..."
Zhong Shenxiu remarked off-handedly, waving his hand to produce various materials, refining them into a black banner.
He unfurled the banner, shook it, and nine beams of clear light flew out, binding the Ancient Poison Fire Dragon like nine chains, and pulled it into the banner.
Suddenly, on the black banner, there appeared a dragon, claws bared, mouth spewing poison fire; amidst faint Bao Guang, the artifact seed to breathe, shrinking and expanding continuously nine tis before returning to normal.
"This flag was rely a casual refinent, yet after swallowing this fire dragon, it starts off equivalent to an artifact with Great Perfection restrictions... In the future, it may not be without potential to ascend to a Spiritual Treasure! It shall be nad... Poison Dragon Banner!"
Holding the Poison Dragon Banner, Zhong Shenxiu suddenly felt fate converging. He calculated quietly, murmuring, "This Poison Dragon Banner and the Ancient Seven Flas Flag are sowhat karmically linked, after all, it devoured its eight brothers... If it ever seeks to ascend to a Spiritual Treasure, it must engage in battle and steal a spark of the seven Ancient Spiritual Flas to complete its foundation!"
This also represented a shortcut for the Poison Dragon Banner to ascend to becoming a Spiritual Treasure! But it was equally a great pitfall!
"This treasure, I’ll bestow upon you."
Zhong Shenxiu casually threw the Poison Dragon Banner to Yu Tongzi, "When your master refines artifacts in the future, you can be alongside to stoke the fire."
"Thank you, master, thank you, master!"
Yu Tongzi joyfully received the Poison Dragon Banner, not yet aware that he had already been designated by his master as the guinea pig for the Soul-Entrusting thod.
It was also because Zhong Shenxiu, considering their master-servant relationship and the bird carrying him for such a long ti, without contributions but with hard work, decided to give it an advantageous Soul-Entrusting thod.
Otherwise, it would have been serving in endless bitterness and drudgery.
’Just in the future, if it truly becos a Spiritual Treasure, might it need to be renad the Fire Crow Flag?’
Zhong Shenxiu was wildly speculating when Yu Tongzi, having obtained the Poison Dragon Banner, beca uncontrollably excited, alas, as a bird, had no grand ideas but could only constantly fly to show that it was absolutely a qualified mount.
Not long after, flying over a hill, they saw a glimr of light ahead.
"Eh? Is there a cultivator’s duel?"
Zhong Shenxiu extended his spiritual sense and saw a Female Sword Immortal, clad in a light green lake robe, her flying sword as clear as water, defending her impeccably.
"Cui Yingxiu, one of Shushan’s Double Stars!"
Zhong Shenxiu remarked sarcastically, "With her alone, presuming to be called one of the Double Stars..."
This mber of Shushan’s Double Stars, if she heard this, would certainly feel wronged.
After all, she too had reached the First-Grade Pill at a young age, her swordsmanship mature and fierce; it was only her dislike for the lilight that held her back.
Otherwise, if Mo Xiaochou could defeat an old monster of the Third-stage Rejuvenation Pill with a single sword strike, she probably could too.
But at this ti, each of Cui Yingxiu’s sword strikes seed to hold so reservations, rather rciful in nature.
Otherwise, the witch opposite her would have been slain with a single strike.
Her opponent, a female practitioner from the Demon Sect, around twenty years old, barely clothed, revealing herself indecently, was engaging in the Heavenly Demon Marvelous Form’s Great Sky Demon Dance, trying to use various magic spells to lure Cui Yingxiu’s Dao Heart.
