Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

This time, they didn't retract the trapping formation. As soon as the first turtle demon entered, they activated the formation, trapping the Jade Turtle Demon.

Fire Crow Taoist conjured his Xuan Iron Gourd, dealing with the octopus from outside the formation. Zhang Yuanjing, Ape Thirteen, and the Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast worked together within the formation to besiege and kill the Jade Turtle Demon.

The group, consisting of one man and two beasts, naturally had Ape Thirteen as the main attacker, with Zhang Yuanjing assisting with earth-based minor spells, while the Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast watched the demon, searching for its weaknesses.

The Jade Turtle Demon was particularly skilled in defense. Besides its hard shell, it could also release a jade-colored light from its body, which was highly corrosive. Ape Thirteen was careless and got hit once, resulting in the loss of fur and rotting flesh within a foot radius of the wound.

The demon's only offensive method was to spit out a golden-yellow, egg-shaped stone, about the size of a fist, from its abdomen, launching it unexpectedly.

Although the stone was small, its power was astonishing once released. Even Zhang Yuanjing's Earth Defense Technique, cast with a second-tier source stone, was shattered by a single blow.

Initially, Zhang Yuanjing thought the stone was the turtle demon's inner core, believing that forcing it to use it a few times would quickly deplete its energy. Later, he discovered that it was actually a strange stone, and a earth-attributed one at that, which greatly pleased him.

He directed the two beasts to continuously attack the turtle demon, occasionally using minor spells such as Earth Prison, Sandstorm, and Earth Defense to help Ape Thirteen trap and forcefully attack the enemy. The Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast, while guarding against the turtle demon's corrosive jade light and strange stone, used illusions to interfere with it.

After fighting for half an hour, the turtle demon was provoked by Ape Thirteen's rain-like Chaos Heaven Staff attacks. Finally, unable to endure it any longer, it once again stretched its head and spat out the strange stone, but the Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast gave a warning in advance, and Ape Thirteen quickly smashed its head into pulp with a single blow.

Zhang Yuanjing opened the great formation, and the man and two beasts went straight for the octopus. Seeing the situation was bad, the octopus immediately used all its legs to quickly escape into the water.

Fire Crow Taoist laughed and said, "Yuanjing, have you succeeded? This octopus may look fierce, but it is actually the most timid. While it was entangled with me here, two of its tentacles never left the water, always ready to run away."

Zhang Yuanjing took the Jade Turtle Demon's corpse from his storage bracelet and placed it on a rock by the water. The turtle was about four feet long, and its shell shimmered with jade light in the sunlight, making it very beautiful.

Fire Crow Taoist looked at it carefully and smiled, "If this turtle shell is refined well, it will definitely become a high-grade defensive magic weapon."

Zhang Yuanjing said, "This turtle shell should still have some mysteries. It can release a poisonous and corrosive green light, making it a defensive treasure with offensive capabilities. Moreover, there is something in this beast's abdomen that seems to be earth-attributed and has a very strong attack power, which may be used to refine an offensive magic weapon."

Upon hearing this, Fire Crow Taoist couldn't help but reveal a surprised expression. He took out a sharp blade from his storage bracelet and carefully removed the turtle demon's torso from the jade shell, then carefully dissected it, finding the fist-sized, golden-yellow stone in its abdomen.

"A palm-sized piece, quite heavy!" Fire Crow Taoist weighed the stone a few times, saying with slight surprise, "Adding a little of this when refining a weapon can make the magic weapon more durable and accumulate power faster."

Zhang Yuanjing asked, "Senior, what kind of magic weapon do you think this can be used to refine?"

Fire Crow Taoist had already considered it and immediately said, "Yuanjing, didn't you have a large axe when you were in the Foundation Establishment stage? That axe was very good, capable of both offense and defense. Of course, now that you have other means of defense, if you refine another axe, you don't need to consider defense, just focus on attacking. I think, if you refine this stone into the axe, the power of this axe will not be weaker than that Dragon Tooth Saber, at most it will be slightly slower."

Zhang Yuanjing naturally had no objections, cupping his fist and saying, "Then I will have to trouble Senior."

The two returned to the Immortal City cave dwelling, only Han Ji and Zhang Jun were cultivating, the other four were not there.

"Hunting water demons?" Zhang Yuanjing was speechless after hearing Han Ji's report.

Fire Crow Taoist laughed, "It doesn't matter, there are no Core Formation stage true demons in the waters near this Immortal City. As long as they are careful, nothing major will happen."

Zhang Yuanjing smiled wryly, "In the past, I would watch over Yu'er when she fought, but now she is already a Foundation Establishment cultivator and should go out and train on her own. Moreover, there are Junior Brother Yuan and Junior Brother Liu to look after her, I am just overthinking it."

However, what he had in mind was Bao Xueyang's blood-colored spirit worm. If there was such a spirit beast following Zhang Yu by her side, he would be much more at ease.

Fire Crow Taoist took Zhang Yuanjing's Xuan Crystal Axe and went into seclusion to study the restrictions within it.

The key to refining weapons is nothing more than materials, restrictions, and fire control. To refine a pure offensive weapon, the "Mountain Cleaving" and "Decision Sweeping" restrictions on the Xuan Crystal Axe were very good references.

Zhang Yuanjing released Ape Thirteen and the Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast from the spirit beast pouch, letting them get some air in the cave dwelling. Then he went to the West City market to buy the materials needed to refine the axe. On the way back, Fire Crow Taoist had already listed the required items.

The basic materials for refining magic weapons, such as Xuan Iron, Secret Silver, and Five-Colored Spirit Gold, were definitely essential, and another very important material was needed, namely Shaping Stone. Adding this when refining magic weapons can increase the success rate of drawing restrictions.

In addition, Fire Crow Taoist also mentioned an item, namely Void Stone, which can increase the flying speed of magic weapons, but it is very rare. Moreover, most cultivators who obtain this item use it to refine flying magic weapons.

Zhang Yuanjing spent half a day and quickly bought Xuan Iron, Secret Silver, and Five-Colored Spirit Gold. As for Shaping Stone, it was not until the next day that the Zi Qi Pavilion manager contacted him and exchanged it from a Core Formation cultivator named Jiang Xinwen from the Zixiao Pavilion for the immature Butterfly Orchid. Because this spiritual plant was dug out with a Spirit Restraining Hoe, its root system was not damaged and could still be transplanted.

As for Void Stone, it was something that was hard to come by, so there was no need to dwell on it.

Ten days later, Fire Crow Taoist rented a weapon refining room in the Zi Qi Pavilion and began refining the axe using the furnace fire there.

After half a month, the old Taoist returned to the cave dwelling with a joyful expression. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted, "Yuanjing, I have not failed you!"

Before he finished speaking, a light golden axe appeared in front of Zhang Yuanjing.

Zhang Yuanjing reached out and took it. It was quite heavy. The axe was one foot tall and two feet wide, with blades on both sides. One side was very sharp, while the other side was slightly blunt. The axe handle was two feet long, and except for the part connecting to the axe head, it was only one foot long, purely made of Xuan Iron, thick and sturdy.

Compared to the Xuan Crystal Axe, this axe was much smaller, but the power contained within it was many times stronger.

This was a high-grade magic weapon.

Fire Crow Taoist said with a smile, "It was also because the stone was of excellent material, otherwise it would not have become a high-grade magic weapon. However, for the sake of simplicity and ease, this axe only has one set of restrictions, which is the restriction to quickly accumulate potential energy, maximizing the characteristics of the strange stone in the turtle demon's body.

"Once activated, it will quickly accumulate power. At first, the speed will be slower, but once the potential energy is accumulated, the speed will become faster and faster, and the power of the strike will become stronger and stronger. If the enemy dodges the axe strike, the potential energy will continue to accumulate until it hits something, then it will be released."

Zhang Yuanjing refined it slightly, and understood the quality and function of this axe, cupping his hands and thanking him, "Thank you, Senior, for refining this treasure for me!"

Fire Crow Taoist accepted the salute frankly, and then said, "Please, Yuanjing, name this axe!"

Zhang Yuanjing pondered for a moment and said, "Since this axe is out, it will be unstoppable and invincible, and must break through all obstacles before returning, let's call it 'Fortress Breaker'."
