Chapter 312: Chapter 60: Lifebound Magical Treasure!

Lake Bottom Cultivation Room.

Zhou Xun sat face to face with his avatar.

Now, the avatar has successfully formed its Core Formation, with the quality of its Inner Core being Half-Step Golden Core, its strength comparable to a Middle-Stage Core Formation Cultivator.

This was due to his just breaking through and going out for Magical Combat.

That a Half-Step Golden Core can bring about such an effect utterly exceeded Zhou Xun’s expectations.

“Currently, my Divine Sense strength is roughly around three thousand feet, coupled with Mana strength, equivalent to that of a freshly broken-through Middle-Stage Core Formation Cultivator.”

“It seems that the Half-Step Golden Core almost equates me with a Middle-Stage Core Formation Cultivator!”

Zhou Xun’s avatar muttered.

Added to his unique Purple Sky Thunder Technique, this was how he managed to hold his own against Master Yun Yi, an experienced Middle-Stage Core Formation Cultivator.

“No wonder those who form an Immortal Golden Core are called Nascent Soul Seeds; such a foundation is truly astonishing!”

Zhou Xun marveled internally, which also made him even more anticipative of forming a Golden Core with his main body.

At this moment, the avatar patted the Storage Bag at his waist, taking out a small shield the size of a palm and handed it to the main body.

Zhou Xun’s main cultivation technique possesses a Wood Attribute, making it extremely compatible with this “Wood Element Shield.”

If he were to refine this Middle-Grade Magical Treasure, he would have the power to contend against a Middle-Stage Core Formation Cultivator.

Currently, the main body has refined many magical treasures.

For offense, he relies on the Wood Radiance Gourd, whose hardness rivals a High-Grade Magical Treasure, giving Zhou Xun a significant advantage in Core Formation Realm Magical Combat.

For defense, he uses the Green Source Pearl, the Profound Cyan Shield, and the White Turtle Shield, both being ordinary Low-Grade Defensive Treasures.

Among these, the Green Source Pearl and the Profound Cyan Shield are both Wood Attribute, allowing Zhou Xun to exert ninety percent of their power.

The other White Turtle Shield is refined from a Tier Three Middle-Grade Turtle-Type Great Demon Turtle Shell, boasting extremely high defense.

Regrettably, its attributes don’t match, so Zhou Xun uses it only as a backup,

and has not yet had it appear on the stage.

Now having the Wood Element Shield, Zhou Xun plans to pass down the Profound Cyan Shield and the White Turtle Shield for the avatar’s use.

Besides, Zhou Xun also has the Concealing-Type Magical Treasure White Mirage Pearl.

This treasure possesses both concealing and defensive capabilities, extremely rare, refined mainly from a Tier Three Snow Mirage Pearl.

Although it’s merely of the Tier Three Low-Grade level, in terms of value, it’s likely superior to common Tier Three Middle-Grade Magical Treasures.

If utilized in water domains or mist-laden mountains and forests,

with white fog enveloping him, even Late-Stage Core Formation Cultivators would find it hard to detect, making it an ideal tool for traveling,

such a rare treasure, naturally Zhou Xun reserves it for his main body.

Additionally, Zhou Xun possesses a rare Assassination-Type Magical Treasure dubbed the Extreme Blade.

The Extreme Blade epitomizes sharpness, on that day Zhou Xun’s Green Source Pearl and Tier Two High-Grade Defensive Shield couldn’t halt this treasure’s assault.

If Zhou Xun hadn’t been training in the Hundred Veins Body Refining Technique, with his strong physical body, he might have perished on the spot,

and the elder who activated the treasure back then was merely in Fake Pill Cultivation.

It goes to show the might of this treasure.

Zhou Xun plans to give this treasure to his avatar.

The avatar’s Inner Core quality is Half-Step Golden Core, with Mana purity comparable to a Middle-Stage Core Formation Cultivator, if he were to activate this treasure, its power would be imaginable.

Coupled with the Purple Sky True Thunder Array,

within, it’s as if creating its own realm, allowing the avatar to be elusive and almost teleportational.

Combined with the Extreme Blade, even a Late-Stage Core Formation Cultivator, taken by surprise, would succumb to it.

…

Zhou Xun’s main body immediately placed the Wood Element Shield at his fingertips, preparing to refine it.

The process of refining a magical treasure, Zhou Xun had undergone multiple times, so he was extremely skilled.

He then split a strand of Divine Sense, directing it inside the Wood Element Shield.

It went smoothly, creating a Divine Sense Mark.

At the same time, a faint connection emanated from the Wood Element Shield.

This is the benefit of refining a masterless magical treasure, encountering no resistance.

However, this slender connection is not enough for Zhou Xun to activate this treasure, he still needs to refine it further.

Zhou Xun spread his Divine Sense, wrapping the Wood Element Shield.

Then casting a seal, hitting the shield.

Upon contact, his Mana melded inside, releasing a faint hum.

Under his Divine Sense’s enveloping, the Wood Element Shield began to emit a faint cyan light, seemingly resonating with Zhou Xun’s Divine Soul.

As time passed, the air around the shield began to ripple, as if an invisible force was surging.

Zhou Xun also felt a peculiar sensation within, as if he could perceive every pattern and strand of power within the Wood Element Shield.

Uncertain how much time passed.

Suddenly, the Wood Element Shield shone brilliantly.

With a buzzing sound, it hovered in the air, expanding to several feet in size, radiating a cyan glow.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Xun breathed a sigh of relief.

“A Middle-Grade Magical Treasure, finally refined successfully!”

“However, the Mana consumption for this Middle-Grade Magical Treasure is indeed somewhat excessive!”

In just a short period, Zhou Xun’s inner Mana was consumed by a third.

“Seems, unless I come across a formidable opponent, it’s best not to easily summon this treasure!”

Zhou Xun murmured, then lightly tapped the Wood Element Shield,

“Collect!”

The gigantic shield transformed into a streak of cyan light, instantly reverting to palm-size, landing in Zhou Xun’s hand.

Placed into the Storage Bag.

Afterwards, Zhou Xun also retrieved the “Crimson Flame Rope” obtained from Master Fengyue.

Due to time constraints earlier, Zhou Xun hadn’t had a chance to refine it.

This is an extremely rare Binding Treasure, Zhou Xun has only this one in hand.

Though this treasure is merely Tier Three Low-Grade, its value is no less than some ordinary Middle-Grade Magical Treasures.

Placing it in front, he began the refinement process.

Meanwhile, the avatar opposite was not idle either.

The avatar had just broken through to the Early-Stage Core Formation, yet had no Lifebound Magical Treasure.

And his Lifebound Magical Treasure is quite special, as most of its Secret Techniques rely on Thunder Seeds.

Thus, Zhou Xun planned to refine the Thunder Pool, which nurtures the Thunder Seeds, into his own Lifebound Magical Treasure.

This is also the most common practice among cultivators of the Purple Sky Thunder Technique.

Once refined into a Lifebound Magical Treasure, the Thunder Seeds nurtured within the Thunder Pool will increase in potency as well.

The avatar patted the Storage Bag at his waist, and a purple crystalline square Thunder Pool flew out, hovering in front of him.

Since this Thunder Pool was nurtured by Fengyue with his own Essence Blood.

Refining it into a Lifebound Magical Treasure now yields twice the results with half the effort.

Zhou Xun exerted his energy, forcing his Essence Blood, forming them as Blood Talismans.

He struck them into the Thunder Pool.

The Blood Talismans fell onto the Thunder Pool without resistance.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun split another piece of Divine Sense, embedding it into the Thunder Pool once more.

Then he continued with the regular refinement process.

Repeating it seven times!

Finally, the avatar established an intrinsic and intimate bond with the Thunder Pool.

The thought barely crossed his mind, and the Thunder Pool flew into his mouth by itself, suspending within the Dantian.
