Chapter 426: Refining Spiritual Treasures (Fourth Update)
At this moment, Xiao Lin was hiding in the spiritual wood space and regulating his breathing. Xiao Lin had thought about practicing in this spiritual wood space before, and he was surprised to find that as long as he was in the spiritual wood space, he could not absorb spiritual energy at all.
In other words, unless he relied on spiritual pills to assist, practicing in the spiritual wood space would have no effect. Even if he took spiritual pills to practice, he still needed the spiritual energy from the outside world to assist. The so-called spiritual pills, on the one hand, were certainly by absorbing the spiritual energy contained in the spiritual pills themselves.
On the other hand, by taking spiritual pills, the concentration of spiritual energy in the meridians was increased, thereby increasing the speed of absorbing spiritual energy from the outside world. Therefore, the cultivators who relied on swallowing spiritual pills to assist in their practice did not require much spiritual energy from the outside world, but they could not have none at all.
If Xiao Lin was not in a good state at the moment and was in danger of breaking his pill at any time, he would not have chosen to practice in the spiritual wood space.
This was a hard time for the two people who were searching for Xiao Lin in the outside world. After searching for more than half a month, their spiritual consciousness was mostly depleted, but they still did not even see the shadow of Xiao Lin.
Half a year later, Xiao Lin opened his eyes from his meditation, his eyes flashing with divine light. He took a long breath and smiled.
After half a year of stabilization, the golden elixir in his dantian has been completely stabilized. His magic power is at least ten times stronger than that of the foundation-building great perfection. Of course, this is only the quantity. In terms of quality, the magic power of the golden elixir cultivator is several times more condensed than that of the foundation-building cultivator. It can be said that the two are not on the same level at all.
Looking at the lush spiritual grass in the spiritual wood space, Xiao Lin showed a thoughtful expression on his face.
In his opinion, the two people outside should have left. After all, they couldn't find him for half a year, and they would also judge that he had escaped.
However, Xiao Lin was not sure. If the two people did not give up searching for him and were still waiting outside, he would probably be chased by the two people if he rashly went out of the sea.
He had just entered the golden elixir stage, and the magic weapon had not been refined yet. His combat power was poor except for the blue flame spirit fire and several kinds of great perfection-level primary spells.
But after thinking of the magic weapon, Xiao Lin was slightly stunned, and then a look of realization appeared on his face. He patted the storage bag on his waist, and a star ring shot out from it. This star ring was obtained from the demonic Jindan cultivator he killed that year.
After getting this star ring, Xiao Lin has always kept it in the storage bag and never took it out. Now that he has entered the Jindan stage, he can use the star ring openly.
He opened his mouth slightly, and the star ring in Xiao Lin's palm suddenly turned into a green light and shot into his mouth. Xiao Lin also slowly closed his eyes and began to refine the star ring.
Two hours later, Xiao Lin opened his eyes, he gently stretched out his right hand, and a green light flashed on his ring finger, and an ancient silver-white ring appeared on his finger.
Xiao Lin showed a satisfied look on his face, and then with a thought, a dark green light flashed in his palm, but it was a jade box. Xiao Lin looked at the jade box and showed an excited expression on his face.
When he first entered the Jindan stage, he urgently needed a magic weapon to protect himself. However, it would take more than a day to refine a magic weapon. In addition, it was impossible to use the power of fire in the spiritual wood space. Xiao Lin almost suffered a great loss from the sapling.
The jade box in his hand contained the Qingyang Mirror that he had obtained from the top of Tiandu Peak. At that time, Xiao Lin was in the foundation-building stage and could not sense the spiritual charm contained in it, so he could not judge its level.
After entering the Jindan stage, Xiao Lin was also surprised to find that he could actually sense a trace of strong spiritual charm surging in the Qingyang Mirror in his hand. This feeling naturally made him understand that the Qingyang Mirror in front of him was a mid-level spiritual treasure.
After understanding this, Xiao Lin placed the Qingyang Mirror in his palm and sat cross-legged again. After a while, the Qingyang Mirror slowly floated up and was flush with Xiao Lin's face.
After adjusting his own mana, Xiao Lin suddenly opened his mouth, and a dark green spiritual light shot out from it, wrapping Qingyangjian in it and began to refine it.
Although magic weapons are also divided into different levels, for Jindan cultivators, as long as they want to go further on the road of immortality, they will not choose to refine ordinary magic weapons, but will choose some rare materials in the world to refine magic weapons that can be advanced.
Although this kind of magic weapon is also divided into different levels, as the realm and mana of the cultivator are improved, the level of the magic weapon will also be advanced. Although the life magic weapon of the Yuanying cultivator and the life magic weapon of the Jindan cultivator are both magic weapons, the power of the two is very different.
This is naturally attributed to the huge realm gap between the two. After all, the degree of mana condensation of the Yuanying cultivator is far greater than that of the Jindan cultivator, and the power of the magic weapon itself is also very different.
Yuanying cultivators are old monsters who have lived for hundreds of years. Their life magic treasures are nurtured in their Dantian every day, and are refined by their own magic power every day. Over the years, the spirituality of their life magic treasures has not only become more powerful, but also the material itself can be further refined, making it far more resilient and durable than the life magic treasures of Jindan cultivators.
Spiritual treasures are different. Because spiritual treasures cannot be absorbed into the body, the quality of the spiritual treasure itself basically determines the upper limit of its power. For example, the Qingyang Mirror in Xiao Lin's hand is a mid-level spiritual treasure, so it can only be a mid-level spiritual treasure forever, and it is impossible to advance to a high level.
Even if it is re-refined, it won't work. The spirituality in the spiritual treasure, which is born from the power of heaven and earth, will be greatly reduced or even disappear once it is re-refined. Then even if it is refined, it will only be a piece of higher-level metal material, and it will lose its own power.
However, under the same level, the power of the spiritual treasure of the same grade is greater than that of the magic weapon. This is also a recognized fact in the world of immortal cultivation. Moreover, since the types of a cultivator's natal magic weapon are limited, in the process of fighting with the enemy, it will also limit their own means.
Therefore, some cultivators with high combat power will use this kind of spiritual treasure to improve the flexibility of their combat power and the diversity of their means. Of course, spiritual treasures are only a very effective way to improve combat power.
And secret magic, powerful middle and high-level spells, and formation forbidden techniques can also play the role of cultivators' combat power.
Xiao Lin has just entered the golden elixir and has not yet refined his own natal magic weapon. For him, refining this Qingyang Mirror first will undoubtedly greatly improve his self-protection power.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't refine the Five Elements Spirit Bead in the Spirit Wood Space, Xiao Lin would have wanted to refine this spiritual treasure as well. In this way, although he hadn't refined his own life magic treasure yet, with these two spiritual treasures, he would be able to compete with ordinary Jindan cultivators.
Half a month later, the Qingyang Mirror floating in front of Xiao Lin was emitting a dark green spiritual light, and Xiao Lin had stopped injecting mana into it, but was closing his eyes to regulate his breathing.
After half a month of refining, the Qingyang Mirror was now completely controlled by Xiao Lin. Although Xiao Lin hadn't opened his eyes, he had a strange connection with this spiritual treasure through his spiritual consciousness.
He could even sense that the Qingyang Mirror was showing a trace of joy, and there was a faint gesture of asking for credit from him. That feeling was very much like his own child telling him excitedly after completing a task, expressing his joy in his heart.
At the moment of refining Qingyang Jian, Xiao Lin immediately understood its function. Qingyang Jian is a defensive spiritual treasure. When fighting with the enemy, it can condense a layer of Qingyang divine light, wrap itself in it, and resist the attacks of other people's magic weapons.
Moreover, this Qingyang divine light can automatically adjust the mentality according to one's own mind. It can be a shield-shaped spiritual light or a spiritual light shield. Anyway, as long as Xiao Lin's mind moves, this Qingyang divine light can condense into any shape he imagines in his sea of consciousness.
After a while, Xiao Lin exhaled a breath of turbid air, slowly opened his eyes, and his face was still full of joy.
He gently reached deep into his hand, and a dark green spiritual light flashed. The next moment, Qingyang Jian had already appeared in his palm. After entering the Jindan stage and refining this spiritual treasure, Xiao Lin was surprised to find that as long as it was within a hundred feet, the movement speed of the spiritual treasure was almost terrifying.
Xiao Lin had no doubt that under this magic treasure, his magic flash spell was completely incapable of evading. After understanding this, Xiao Lin finally understood the huge gap between foundation-building cultivators and golden elixir cultivators. This was not surprising in the world of immortal cultivation. A cultivator in the middle stage of foundation-building killed a cultivator in the late stage of foundation-building.
And a cultivator who had reached the great perfection of foundation-building killed a golden elixir cultivator. Such a thing had never happened in the world of immortal cultivation. Even the demon elixir that Xiao Lin killed that year was killed with great effort when the other party's body was damaged and he could not control the magic weapon.
Now thinking about it, Xiao Lin was also afraid of his impulsiveness. If that demon elixir had practiced some secret magic or his body was not completely dead, whether he could survive until now was an unknown number.
Xiao Lin played with the Qingyang Mirror in his hand, and the more he looked at it, the happier he became. Suddenly, his mind moved, and the Qingyang Mirror shook slightly and appeared above the sapling's head. From above, a bunch of Qingyang divine lights dangled, turning into a cage, covering the sapling inside.
This was originally Xiao Lin's subconscious mischievous behavior, but the reaction of the sapling stunned him. At the top of the bare branch, one of the three tender leaves shook slightly, and the drop of crystal dew on it suddenly split into a sesame-sized drop.
As soon as the dewdrop left the sapling, it immediately turned into a ball of water light and spread out. The Qingyang divine light hanging from the Qingyang Mirror was broken inch by inch under the water light, and the Qingyang Mirror was also hit by a small amount of water light, and the dark green spiritual light on it suddenly dimmed.
Xiao Lin's face changed, and under the induction of his mind, his face suddenly turned pale.
