Chapter 188: Spot Star Technique
Chapter 186
The Earth Lung Poisonous Flame was not suitable for elixir alchemy, but it was a top grade item for item alchemists.
After Chen Jingzhai took it away, he found that this particular flame was extremely powerful.
It had probably been burning for more than a hundred years, and had great potential. More importantly, it had the value for further training.
If other spirit fires could be found, they could be completely integrated into the Earth Lung Poisonous Flame.
Naturally, this could not be accomplished by other people. However, Chen Jingzhai could do so by using the Primordial Essence World.
After having processed the poisonous flame somewhat and putting it away inside the body, Chen Jingzhai passed through the restriction.
Now, the twentieth level.
This level resembled an alchemy chamber, with a lot of alchemical materials stacked around it.
There were raw materials as well as materials that had been refined or processed.
The beast cauldron had also become the bird cauldron, and its aura was quite extraordinary.
“Congratulations on making it to the twentieth level.”
“You are the first cultivator to arrive at this level.”
“There are currently four cultivators remaining in the tower.”
“This level requires you to produce an Intermediate Grade 2 spiritual item.”
“Among the item cauldrons, there is an Intermediate Grade 2 inheritance for the item alchemist.”
“You can only pass this level by producing the spiritual item according to the instruction of the inheritance.”
The voice of the spirit of the cave residence entered Chen Jingzhai’s ears.
There were still four people left?
In other words, there were three other people besides himself.
When Chen Jingzhai heard it, he made a note to himself.
He was not in the habit of underestimating other people, and most of the eighteen people who ventured inside the tower this time were disciples from the clan.
Each of them had a solid foundation, backed by wealthy families. Several of them were also already in the Complete Foundation Plane.
The only thing he did not know was whether there were any disciples from Luo Sheng Sword School among the three.
Chen Jingzhai shook his head and refused to speculate baselessly. Instead, he went directly to the bird cauldron and sat down in front of it.
The jade slip came to him first, but there was still just one inheritance.
After that, he filled in for the part of the Grade 2 item alchemist and received Intermediate Grade 2 item alchemy restrictions and techniques.
Even if he failed this time, he could produce Grade 2 spiritual items whenever he wished in the future.
With his attainments in the arts of restriction, it was not difficult to produce Superior Grade 2 spiritual items.
But he had already gotten to the twentieth level; he was not so willing to leave like this.
Furthermore, the examination requirements were not overly demanding.
He had already produced Intermediate Grade 2 spiritual items while on the sixteenth level.
Right now, Chen Jingzhai was thinking about how to produce Superior Grade 2 items. This was the only way to ensure the high quality of the prizes!
With a snap of his fingers, an Earth Lung Poisonous Flame flew out and landed under the bird cauldron.
After the restriction on the item cauldron was activated, Chen Jingzhai controlled the flame for a slow burn.
He collected all kinds of materials at a leisurely pace.
Spiritual essence, like a river, began to smelt with just the slightest movement.
The content on the jade slip was clear in his mind. Chen Jingzhai had been processing it during the making of the spiritual item.
An hour later, an Intermediate Grade 2 spirit sword was made.
Chen Jingzhai was dissatisfied and continued to work at it. After two hours, he was finally able to produce a spirit saber.
The saber was originally seven feet long, but at the moment of completion, it turned into seven inches.
It was also at this moment that the restriction was completed, and directly promoted to become a Superior Grade 2 spiritual item.
A big saber turned into a small saber, but its power had multiplied, and its quality enhanced.
Secretly, Chen Jingzhai breathed a sigh of relief, as he looked at the small saber with a look of joy on his face.
At this point, he had learned a lot about item alchemy.
At the very least, he could now produce all the spiritual items within Grade 2.
This was not an exploitation of some loophole, but a step-by-step learning process all of his own, as well as an accumulation of knowledge.
“Actually, I should have been able to produce a Superior Grade 2 spirit sword the first time around.”
“But it is my first time using the Earth Lung Poisonous Flame, and the control is not as good as I like it to be.”
“In terms of smelting of the materials and filtering out the impurities, it is not perfect.”
“Also, in terms of the coordination between restriction and methods, I was a little rusty.”
Chen Jingzhai reflected on the process and sat silently for quite a while.
The Earth Lung Poisonous Flame was indeed very effective when used for item alchemy; it was able to save him a lot of time.
But it was also far too powerful. Even though Chen Jingzhai was only using a little bit, he was not able to avoid the mishaps.
It would be a challenge to fully utilize the power of the Earth Lung Poisonous Flame.
Throwing the small saber into the item cauldron, Chen Jingzhai came in front of the restriction.
It was the kind of prize that was still a jade slip.
“Spot Star Technique?”
Chen Jingzhai raised an eyebrow slightly. However, after flipping through the pages, his heart was full of tumultuous emotions.
This turned out to be a set of techniques for cultivating the divine mind of the upper core, and it was coming from the Heaven Star Territory.
Foundation Plane cultivators could cultivate it, and it was a technique that directly pointed to the Nascent Soul.
More importantly, it was also a spell.
Drawing from the star power, it directly used a mixture of star power to temper the divine mind, and it could also be used to defend against the enemy.
Furthermore, it could be used for item alchemy!
“Amazing!”
“It is different from the spells and techniques of Pulao Kingdom and the clans.”
“One of a kind!”
“It seems that for Golden Core sages, it is a must to get out of Pulao Kingdom.”
Chen Jingzhai’s mind was in turmoil, as he put away the jade slip.
Getting started with the Spot Star Technique required the guidance of the star power, either by feeling it for oneself or by using the star stone or other treasures.
Only under the tempering of the star power, and allowing the divine mind to condense into a dazzling star was the process considered complete.
The difficulty was high and needed the assistance of other treasures. Now was not the time to comprehend this method.
Compared with the nine territories of Heaven Essence Realm, Pulao Kingdom and the Eastern Ocean were as insignificant as little puddles of water.
Without jumping out of these places, it was hard to see the reality outside. In the end, one would only be like the frog at the bottom of the well.
Chen Jingzhai was filled with thoughts, and walked into the restriction in a complicated mood.
The twenty-first level.
This was a world of ocean, cool and blue.
When Chen Jingzhai entered it, he was immersed in sea water, and the feeling was not pleasant.
Fortunately, the magic robe automatically appeared and repelled the water.
Just as the magic robe was flashing, a black shadow rushed over.
Bang!
Huge waves blasted out from the ocean. As Chen Jingzhai emerged from it, he levitated into the sky.
On the surface of the ocean, a giant turtle with a diameter of thirty feet appeared, with a very hideous head.
Both of its eyes were black as ink, he stared at Chen Jingzhai fiercely and cruelly.
“Black jade turtle,” Chen Jingzhai’s mouth twitched slightly.
Most of the common sea beasts in the Eastern Ocean were Grade 1, Grade 2 beasts were considered superior.
No one had ever seen a Grade 3 sea beast at all.
The huge turtle with a diameter of thirty feet was a creature that Chen Jingzhai had never even heard of.
But there was no doubt that this thing had to be a Grade 3 because its aura could not be faked.
“Sea beast that chose not to change shape!”
“Its defense is amazing. Its brain is not so good, but its speed is very fast.”
“It seems that the difficulty of this level has increased!”
Chen Jingzhai sighed while making these observations to himself, but his divine mind had locked onto the black jade turtle.
He tried to communicate with the black jade turtle, but his effort had gone to waste.
More than that, the black jade turtle sent out a strong malice of its own, trying to smash Chen Jingzhai’s divine mind.
Since this was the case, Chen Jingzhai had no need to be polite.
A cold glare flashed in his eyes, as he held up the Mourning Staff. The sound of whistling swept down like waves.
The black jade turtle was impacted, and instantly shrank back into its turtle shell, and began to sink deeper into the ocean.
This move cleverly defused the attack of the whistling sound, and was extremely effective.
After it sank into the ocean, three vortices appeared on the surface of the water.
As Chen Jingzhai watched, three tornadoes of water spewed out of the three vortices.
These water columns carried a powerful impact with them and rushed towards Chen Jingzhai.
Chen Jingzhai dodged, and then escaped into the water with the water escape technique.
The result was that as soon as his whole body immersed in the water, the entire ocean seemed to squeeze him. It was so uncomfortable, despite the fact that he was being protected by the spiritual essence.
“Can all the water in the ocean be manipulated like this?” Chen Jingzhai was slightly taken back.
He didn’t leave the water, but used his spiritual essence to activate the water spell.
A long water blade slashed across the surface of the ocean.
The water blade hit the shell of the black jade turtle, but inflicted no damage.
Even such great impact did not shake the black jade turtle an inch.
Such display of superior defense was impressive in Chen Jingzhai’s opinion.
There was no other way. In order to take down the target as quickly as possible, Chen Jingzhai used his special talent.
Name: Black jade turtle
Strength: Inferior Grade 3
Compatibility: After swallowing its cultivator’s body, the black jade turtle mutated. Its intelligence has been destroyed and can only act according to its instinct. The shell of the black jade turtle can be used as an Inferior Grade 3 magic treasure.
Vulnerability: Corrosive venom, about three inches from the tail of the black jade turtle’s abdomen.
The information flashed across his eyes, and Chen Jingzhai immediately understood. With a slight movement of his fingers, the poison spell was cast. He mobilized a trace of the scorching poisonous gas from the Earth Lung Poisonous Flame. With the power of the spell, the seawater around him turned dark green almost instantly and spread quickly.
The black jade Turtle became extremely irritable. While it was huddled in the shell before, it now dashed towards Chen Jingzhai. At the moment when it approached the dark green water, it appeared on top of Chen Jingzhai once again.
Water arrows, one after another, kept falling in Chen Jingzhai’s direction.
When Chen Jingzhai saw this, he immediately disappeared using the water escape technique. Just as the dark green poison technique in the water erupted.
Boom!
The dark green water stream exploded, turning into little droplets of water, falling onto the black jade turtle.
The surface of the black jade turtle’s shell immediately changed color.
