Chapter 2016: Chapter 2015: Exhaustion
Picking up this piece of substitute Divine Wood and playing with it for a while, Zhang Xiaohao placed it in the purple jade box, then pasted the sealing tag on top.
Having done all this, Zhang Xiaohao sat upright on the bed, and with a thought, information about the Three Pure Ones Scripture’s refining techniques and restriction techniques emerged from the scripture and appeared in his mind.
Clearing his mind of distractions and concentrating his spirit, Zhang Xiaohao seriously comprehended the information about refining techniques and restriction techniques transmitted in his mind.
The refining and restriction techniques recorded in the Three Pure Ones Scripture were profound and complex, like a myriad of stars. Even though Zhang Xiaohao’s talent was quite powerful, mastering all these refining techniques and so on wasn’t something that could be achieved in a short time.
Fortunately, Zhang Xiaohao had great perseverance. The more challenging it was, the more motivated he felt, putting all his heart and spirit into pondering over the refining and restriction techniques.
As time passed, half a month had flown by in an instant.
On this day, while pondering the two major Chapters of refining and restriction techniques, Zhang Xiaohao suddenly opened his eyes.
Swish!!!
In his twin eyes, a flash of bright light flickered briefly, and all the information about refining and restriction techniques was digested completely.
"Phew! Finally comprehended all the refining and restriction techniques at the Divinity Transformation Realm! However, although I’ve understood them, I need to familiarize myself further." Zhang Xiaohao said earnestly.
At once, his right hand patted the storage bag at his waist, and various materials flew out in succession from the storage bag.
The materials on Zhang Xiaohao were so numerous that he couldn’t even recall how many or which ones. After defeating so many cultivators and acquiring their wealth, anything useful was all collected by Zhang Xiaohao. Fortunately, the Shennong Ring had infinite space; otherwise, it might not have been able to hold all of it.
Immediately, Zhang Xiaohao flipped his right hand and took out a large handful of elixirs, swallowing them down, and then summoned the World-purifying Heavenly Fire. In a flash, it turned into rays of light under Zhang Xiaohao’s control, heading towards the pile of materials before him.
Meanwhile, a series of hand seals fell from Zhang Xiaohao’s hands, landing on these materials.
In the terrifying heat, these materials were being rapidly refined at a visible speed, transforming into the most pure liquid, suspended in the air. Then, Zhang Xiaohao pinched his fingers into seals, and one by one, refining hand seals fell from his hands onto these materials.
With a movement of his mind, the refined liquids gradually transformed into a flying-type artifact.
Flying-type artifacts, among artifacts of the same level, are the most valuable. Although Zhang Xiaohao had no use for them, he could sell these refined flying artifacts to get some top-grade Spirit Stones in return.
Though his wealth was indeed substantial now, nobody would complain about having too much money, and Zhang Xiaohao was no exception.
As refining methods fell from Zhang Xiaohao’s hands, various powerful refining formations were carved into this flying-type Spirit Boat.
Then Zhang Xiaohao altered his magic formula, starting to apply restrictions, embedding the power of restriction into the Spirit Boat before him.
A powerful artifact doesn’t just rely on formations; it also contains countless restrictions. The more formations and restrictions an artifact accommodates, the more powerful it becomes.
One hour later.
"Formed!!!" Zhang Xiaohao shouted in a low voice.
A cyan Spirit Boat artifact had fully formed, emitting countless rays of cyan light and an immense pressure.
"Come here!" As Zhang Xiaohao beckoned with his right hand, the cyan Spirit Boat flashed and landed in his hand.
Grasping the cyan Spirit Boat, Zhang Xiaohao examined it carefully.
The more he examined it, the more satisfied he became.
"Not bad! Although it’s my first time crafting an artifact, it’s top-quality! Indeed, a product of the Three Pure Ones Scripture is excellent!" Zhang Xiaohao nodded with satisfaction.
This Spirit Boat is an ancient artifact, not a lifebound magical treasure. Anyone who acquires it can exert its full power once refined, unlike a lifebound magical treasure, where if the master is killed and it falls into another’s hands, it can only perform at sixty to seventy percent after refinement.
After putting away the Spirit Boat, Zhang Xiaohao did not stop. With a wave of his right hand, some materials on the ground flew over again. With a slight motion, the World-purifying Heavenly Fire in the air surged and began refining these materials once more.
In cultivation, there is no concept of time, and in a blink, another month passed.
After continuously refining artifacts for a month with no rest, Zhang Xiaohao was thoroughly exhausted. Even with his spirit, the depletion was severe, almost unbearable.
Fortunately, his gains were substantial, having refined nearly ten thousand ancient artifacts over the month, averaging three hundred a day without a single failure. If this were to spread, it would surely drop many jaws.
"Phew! Nearly worked myself to death!" Zhang Xiaohao exhaled a long breath.
Looking at the ancient artifacts on the ground, he had started slowly but became more proficient over time. By the end, his speed was astonishingly fast, almost unbelievable.
Among these ancient artifacts, besides the flying-type ones, most were defensive artifacts like armor and shields, as well as inner armor and other ancient treasures.
One could say that, among these ancient artifacts, aside from various flying artifacts, these defensive artifacts were the most valuable.
"Collect!!!" Zhang Xiaohao shouted in a low voice. With a wave of his right hand, all these ancient artifacts on the ground were instantly collected by him.
After storing the ancient artifacts, Zhang Xiaohao jumped off the bed. He was indeed exhausted during this period. With a stroke of a magic formula, the swimming pool was instantly filled with warm water. With a thought, he disrobed and jumped into the pool, soaking in the warm water, immediately feeling much relieved from the fatigue.
He took out a cigarette, lit it, and began to smoke lazily.
"Come out, Zixin!" Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.
With a wave of his right hand, he summoned Zixin from his right arm.
"Ah! Master, how could you be like this?" Zixin exclaimed in shock upon seeing Zhang Xiaohao’s state.
"I’m a bit tired, come over here and massage my shoulders!" Zhang Xiaohao instructed.
"Alright." Zixin nodded obediently and went behind Zhang Xiaohao to massage his shoulders.
"Master, your aura seems to have changed." Zixin suddenly remarked.
