Chapter 112 Tide-Rising Pearl
Chapter 112 Tide-Born Pearl (A Congratulatory Celebration for the Alliance Leader of Haiyu)
After checking the materials, Fang Qing finally looked at the most important item—the relics of the Azure Sea Ancestor.
First, there was a strange curtain that could block out divine senses, with its name embroidered in the corner—"Sky-Covering Curtain".
It is unknown whether this item was left by the Azure Sea Ancestor or originated from the sect—it is also a rare treasure of the mirage pearl type.
The so-called "extraordinary treasures" are of varying grades, each possessing unique and wondrous functions.
For example, this item, although it cannot be used in combat, has many uses if it can deceive the divine sense of a Core Formation level cultivator.
Immediately, Fang Qing looked at the iron scroll again.
"A map of the Zhou Tian Xing Palace?"
He opened the iron scroll and saw many geographical maps and markings on it.
"what?"
He examined the area carefully with his divine sense and saw a small tree imprint in the core area.
"Could this be the location of the Five Elements Fruit Tree?"
"This map looks quite detailed. If I have it next time I open the game, I can find a lot of treasures."
"Zhou Tian Xing Palace is at least a Nascent Soul level power!"
Fang Qing carefully put away the iron roll map, and then picked up the two magic treasures of the Azure Sea Ancestor.
"A magic weapon of a cultivator at the peak of Core Formation —"
He channeled a wisp of his magic power, but it was far too weak to refine the magic weapon. He couldn't help but sigh, "It should still have its foundation. Even if its spirituality is greatly lost, it's still at least a low-grade third rank."
These two magical treasures are in the form of a bead and a flute.
Adding the Tide-Born Pearl, Fang Qing couldn't help but marvel at how deeply the Azure Sea Ancestor loved the pearl.
"Could this magical bead be named the 'Sea Transformation Pearl'?"
Fang Qing couldn't help but think of his original Sea Transformation Pearl, which, even after being upgraded to a low-grade spiritual artifact, was still of little use and had been sitting at the bottom of his storage bag ever since.
After this, he can retire with honor, and perhaps the title can be bestowed upon Qin Ruxue or Xiang Dahu?
After all, for a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the early stage, a low-grade spiritual weapon is quite suitable.
He composed himself and looked at the greatest reward of this adventure—the Tide-Generating Pearl.
The bead was about the size of an infant's fist, shimmering with a deep blue light and carrying unfathomable magical power.
Fang Qing activated the Azure Sea Technique, forming hand seals as he channeled streams of magical power into the Tide-Rising Pearl, slowly refining it.
Boom!
Time passed, and he finally imprinted his own mark on the bead, and his divine sense then detected another dantian!
Or rather, the second dantian!
"So the so-called external alchemy technique is simply using artifacts to create another dantian for a cultivator?"
"It seems this bead is quite helpful even to Core Formation cultivators; at the very least, it can provide a large amount of mana at crucial moments."
At this point, Fang Qing could sense the terrifying power of the Azure Sea Technique within the Tide-Rising Pearl.
That was a Core Formation level mana that far surpassed his own in both quality and quantity!
"No wonder one must cultivate the Azure Sea Technique to refine the Tide-Generating Pearl. If one's magical power is not of the same origin, it is impossible to mobilize it."
A thought struck him, and he began to slowly draw upon the power of his second dantian, which was the external dantian.
In an instant, Fang Qing's magical power underwent a dramatic change, breaking through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, the peak of Foundation Establishment, and even faintly reaching the Core Formation level!
But by this point, his body and magical power were already somewhat overwhelmed.
Just like how cultivators in the Qi Refining stage can only use second-tier low-grade spirit talismans at most, if they use second-tier mid-grade spirit talismans, they are likely to perish together with the enemy.
Fang Qing also felt that his divine sense had reached its limit, making it difficult to mobilize more external alchemy power.
"No wonder the sect requires cultivators at the Azure Sea Technique, specifically those at the Pseudo-Core stage, to refine the Tide-Rising Pearl. It's because a Pseudo-Core stage cultivator's divine sense can more easily manipulate Core Formation power?"
"No—this Tide-Generating Pearl seems to have more functions. I'm not a fake Core Formation cultivator, yet I can barely possess Core Formation combat power thanks to it. And according to Xiang Dahu's experience, this pearl can even grant Foundation Establishment combat power to Qi Refining cultivators—it seems that Tide-Generating Pearls are also divided into genuine and inferior products—mine should be a genuine one!"
"A genuine Tide-Rising Pearl can barely give me, a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, the combat power of a Core Formation cultivator? Then what about when I reach the late Foundation Establishment stage, or even the peak of Foundation Establishment—wouldn't I be a genuine Core Formation cultivator, or even a peak early Core Formation cultivator? Truly a wonderful treasure!"
Fang Qing was overjoyed, but then shook his head: "But I'm only at the Core Formation level now. My spiritual sense, physical strength, and even third-tier techniques are far from sufficient. Perhaps after refining those two magic treasures, I can barely hold my own against a Core Formation cultivator, but defeating them would be impossible."
"Of course, I'd be crazy to reach Foundation Establishment and Core Formation. Isn't it more satisfying to bully Foundation Establishment and Dao Foundation cultivators with the Tide-Generating Pearl?"
"I already have the magic weapon; the key is still spiritual consciousness and physical strength—"
With a thought, he activated the Dao Sheng Pearl, attempting to transform the magical power of the external elixir of the Chao Sheng Pearl into "Yuan," but for some reason, he failed.
"It seems it's ultimately just an external thing—"
Fang Qing shook his head.
"Moreover, the external alchemy method only gave me a second dantian; the original dantian's limitations and bottlenecks in mana still exist—"
a few days later.
Quiet room.
Fang Qing held a piece of emerald green jade slip in his hand, silently comprehending its meaning.
This item is also a relic of the Azure Sea Ancestor, containing the complete text of the Azure Sea Technique!
It includes content on the Core Formation stage, and even the Nascent Soul stage!
In addition, it also records several methods for crafting magic weapons suitable for use in the Core Formation stage of the "Azure Sea Technique", including the method for refining the Tide-Generating Pearl!
There are also many insights and reflections from Master Bihai.
It has to be said that after obtaining this jade slip, Fang Qing could say that "the rightful heir to the Azure Sea is in my hands".
More importantly, the Azure Sea Ancestor recorded several secret techniques and insights regarding the method of forming the Golden Core.
-
According to Fang Qing's estimation, if he mastered these secret techniques and combined them with a Golden Core Pill, the probability of successfully forming the Golden Core would be almost guaranteed!
"Compared to the Qi Cultivation Path, the Qi Refining Path is indeed much more simple and honest. As long as there are enough resources, five hundred years of lifespan is beckoning me."
After his initial excitement, Fang Qing began refining the Tide-Generating Pearl.
"This Tide-Generating Pearl is, after all, an inanimate object. Once the magical power stored within it is used up, the cultivator must either replenish it themselves or place it on a spiritual vein, where it will automatically absorb the essence of the sun and moon to refine spiritual energy into magical power."
After imprinting his own mark on the Tide-Generating Pearl from the inside out, he opened his mouth and inhaled, causing the Tide-Generating Pearl to fall into his dantian and float above the pool of liquid magic power.
After resting for a while, Fang Qing took out two magical treasures: a bead and a flute.
These two magical treasures were also recorded by Patriarch Bihai on the jade slip.
The "Transforming Sea Pearl," originally named the "Sea-Stabilizing Pearl," was made from the inner core of a thousand-year-old spiritual clam. It was originally a top-grade magic weapon, but now it has fallen to a low-grade level.
This pearl can release endless mountains and seas of water to protect itself; its mysteries are boundless.
In fact, according to the original plan of the Azure Sea Ancestor, he was to refine twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls to form a set of top-grade magic treasures, which would be of great use even at the Nascent Soul stage.
As for the Jade Flute, it was the natal magic weapon of the Azure Sea Ancestor. He was a master of music, and when he used the flute to perform sonic spells, he could often injure people invisibly, achieving the effect of subduing the enemy without fighting.
Back then, Master Bihai relied on these two magical treasures, one for offense and one for defense, and while he couldn't say he dominated the East Sea, he certainly had a small reputation.
"Music? I know nothing about it—it seems I can only rely on the power of this jade flute magic weapon itself. If I can unleash 30 or 40% of its power, that would be good."
"But the Huahai Pearl is exactly what I want."
He activated his outer core, unleashing the power of his Core Formation-level Azure Sea Technique to refine these two magical treasures.
These two magical artifacts have been neglected for a long time and have lost a significant amount of their grade.
At this rare moment, it was nourished by the power of the Core Formation technique, and it greedily absorbed it, allowing Fang Qing to imprint his mark and begin to refine it.
After refining these two magical treasures, I can barely afford to contend with Core Formation cultivators—my safety in the Lesser Universe Sea has greatly increased.
However, insufficient physical strength and spiritual awareness ultimately make it difficult to sustain.
As the saying goes, prolonged defense inevitably leads to defeat. The longer Fang Qing fought against a Core Formation cultivator, the greater the chance of his defeat.
You could even get seriously injured if you're not careful!
However, if one were to elevate their physique and spiritual consciousness to the Core Formation stage, or even just the Pseudo-Core Formation stage, it would be enough to fight to a draw with a Core Formation stage cultivator.
After all, this Tide-Rising Pearl is genuine, refined with a third-grade superior-quality dragon inner core as its core!
In theory, it is enough to elevate the magical power of a cultivator in the early stage of Core Formation by one minor realm.
"Haha, this is a real bumper harvest!"
After completing the initial refining, Fang Qing also formed hand seals and stored the two magic treasures into his dantian.
A cultivator's dantian, qi sea, and consciousness sea are their own private places, which even a fully formed core cannot directly see with their divine sense.
Unless they are subdued and then forcibly scanned by a Core Formation cultivator.
If it really comes to that point, there's no point in hiding anything anymore.
Fang Qing flicked his sleeves and stood up gracefully.
At this moment, a wisp of lung-metal energy transformed from the "Killing Wolf" technique circulated in his lungs. Within his dantian, the Tide-Rising Pearl hung high like a blue sun, and above the water below it were two magical treasures: a pearl and a flute. He was fully armed to the teeth.
He had a storage bag hanging from his waist, containing countless treasures.
Furthermore, the Xuanmu Ring on his hand contained a large number of third-tier spiritual items.
I wonder if the sect's Core Formation Ancestor is as wealthy as I am?
He leisurely emerged from the pass and saw Qin Ruxue tending to her cave dwelling.
Upon seeing Fang Qing, he bowed respectfully: "Young Master—a message talisman from Tian Ding has come to invite you to refine pills."
"Oh?"
"Could it be that Tian Ding has gotten lucky and obtained a second-tier longevity fruit?"
Fang Qing's eyes lit up.
The return of this group of disciples on their explorations was a cause for celebration among the sect's higher-ups.
Not only him, but almost all the senior executives benefited, and many kept it a secret.
It's quite kind of Tian Ding to remember him.
"Since I have nothing else to do, I might as well go and take a look—I was just about to do some exercise and be assigned to guard a certain area."
Fang Qing no longer thinks highly of his own cave's spiritual veins and springs.
His efforts to refine second-grade or even third-grade pills, and even his later cultivation, would be greatly inconvenient within the Azure Sea Sect.
Therefore, he naturally set his sights on Taibai Island!
If someone could be responsible for guarding this island, that would be ideal.
Although the island's third-tier spiritual veins were severely damaged, they are still sufficient to sustain his current cultivation.
Not to mention, there's also a third-tier Ice Soul Cold Spring!
As for security issues?
Even if Master Heiyuan were to personally intervene, he might not be able to defeat him now. Moreover, with the "Plum Blossom Divination" for predicting good and bad fortune, it is others who should be worried.
