Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Yuanjing appeared in a stone room about two zhang square.

In the center of the stone room stood a square stove about four chi tall. Beneath the stove was a pit, half-filled with black ash.

To the left of the stove was a thick, large iron anvil, its surface pitted and somewhat damaged.

Leaning against the large iron anvil was a large ceramic water vat, empty of water and covered with a thick layer of dust.

In the corner to the right, five or six iron hammers of various sizes leaned against the wall, along with some fire tongs, iron hooks, files, and other tools.

This resembled a common blacksmith's workshop.

Zhang Yuanjing was somewhat puzzled, wondering why such an ordinary room would be hidden behind that painting.

Just then, he noticed something in the water vat. He looked down and saw two or three raised points in the dust. Reaching in, he first pulled out a silver seal, then a jade pendant of solid green.

He then waved his hand, sending out a ball of mana to sweep away the dust in the water vat, revealing three storage rings and two white jade pendants.

Among the three storage rings, one was wrapped with gold thread, most likely the one the old man had mentioned.

Zhang Yuanjing carefully searched the blacksmith's workshop, but found nothing else. Then, he sent a thought to Ape Thirteen.

Two breaths later, an invisible vortex appeared in the middle of the roof. He leaped upwards, feeling as if he were riding the clouds, and instantly landed in the side hall.

He had the two beasts stand guard to the side, and placed the three rings, two jade pendants, silver seal, and waist pendant on the ground.

If the waist pendant was a storage device, then the jade pendants and silver seal might be as well.

He first took out the storage ring wrapped with gold thread and guided a ball of mana into it. To his surprise, he encountered no resistance at all, and the mana rushed in almost unimpeded.

This indicated that the spiritual imprint and mana mark within this storage ring had long been destroyed, and it had become completely ownerless.

Inside the storage ring, there was nothing but dozens of jade slips.

He took out a jade slip, pressed it to his forehead, and a piece of information entered his mind, describing how to refine a magic treasure called the Sky Cloud Sword.

Seeing that it was not what he needed, he threw it aside. He took another jade slip, which also contained a method for refining a magic treasure, named the Auspicious Yang Umbrella.

He took another, which was also a method for refining a magic treasure. He looked through them one by one. All seventeen jade slips contained methods for refining magic treasures.

One of them was about how to make the Evil-warding Umbrella. The method described in it was different from the one on the stone tablet, and it also depicted the diagrams of the various parts in great detail.

One only needed to ignite the fire in their dantian, refine the materials, manufacture the various parts according to the diagrams, and then assemble them to succeed. There was no need to engrave restrictions or build in formations.

Zhang Yuanjing dared not believe it. If he ruined it, the materials he had worked so hard to collect would be wasted, and there would be no place to find a second batch.

Then, he picked up the remaining jade slips and read them carefully, discovering that the refining methods for the various magic treasures were not the same, and ten of them did not mention engraving restrictions or built-in formations.

Suddenly, he remembered that there was no refining method for the Foundation Yuan Cauldron among these jade slips.

So he picked up another storage ring and introduced a ball of mana into it. Just like the previous one, it rushed in unimpeded.

His spiritual sense probed inside, but it was empty, with nothing at all.

He opened the third storage ring, but it was still empty.

Was there only the method for refining the Evil-warding Umbrella? What about the refining methods for the other six spirit treasures?

He only knew the names of the magic treasures that he and Yu Tianwan needed to refine, so he couldn't judge whether there were refining methods for the other five magic treasures among these jade slips, and therefore couldn't judge whether the Evil-warding Umbrella refining method was feasible.

If there was only the method for refining the Evil-warding Umbrella here, then it would be very suspicious.

This meant that the remnant soul in the statue had discovered that he needed to refine the Evil-warding Umbrella, and therefore deliberately appeared.

In that case, what he said, that the Refining Yang Umbrella was the weakest among the five innate spirit treasures, was questionable. It could even be said that this person's plan to have him find jade bone liquid to lure the Refining Yang Umbrella was a conspiracy.

Zhang Yuanjing held the silver seal in his hand, feeling that it was quite heavy and did not seem to be made of silver. He guided mana into it, but it was like a clay ox entering the sea, with no reaction.

He didn't dare to directly invade it with his spiritual sense, fearing that there might be some fierce creature hidden inside, and he would be throwing himself into a trap.

He tried to put it into his storage bracelet, but it didn't work, knowing that this thing was a storage device, so he stuffed it into his chest first.

Then he went to check the two jade pendants.

Both jades were mutton-fat white jade, one square and hard, the other round and smooth.

He first guided mana to explore the square and hard jade, but as soon as it came into contact, the jade shattered from within and was destroyed.

He didn't try the remaining round jade anymore, first putting it into the storage bracelet, and when it didn't work, he stuffed it into his chest as well.

The last remaining thing was the waist pendant. The spell he had memorized immediately popped into his mind, ready to be spoken at any moment.

However, Zhang Yuanjing kept his lips tightly closed and did not utter a single word.

He didn't try it with mana, but directly collected it into the storage bracelet. To his surprise, it moved in with just a thought.

This was not a storage device!

Zhang Yuanjing's face sank, knowing that the old man's words were probably not to be trusted.

Refine this Evil-warding Umbrella, or not?

Zhang Yuanjing pondered for a long time, thinking that if Jie Tianwei opened some kind of opportunity, causing a drastic change in this place, perhaps there would really be no chance.

So, without hesitation, he picked up the jade slip recording the refining method of the Evil-warding Umbrella, pressed it to his forehead, and read it carefully several times, ensuring that every word was firmly remembered in his heart, and every picture was clearly visible, before taking out the six materials.

According to the jade slip, the Evil-warding Umbrella used Abyss Bone and Imperial Silk to refine the umbrella surface, Furnace Iron and Fiery Sunstone to refine the umbrella ribs, and Tiger Head Gold to refine the umbrella handle. After the three were assembled, Condensing Soul Jade was integrated into the entire umbrella body, and the magic treasure was complete.

He sat cross-legged, illuminating his false core with his spirit, and stimulating the fire within.

Several breaths later, a cluster of light red flames spewed out from the false core. Using mana as a guide, and driving it with his divine sense, he concentrated the fire on the palm of his right hand.

Then, he took out the Abyss Bone and Imperial Silk and placed them on the fire to refine. These two materials were relatively soft, and it only took an hour to turn them into a mass of colorful juice.

Immediately, he visualized the pattern of the Evil-warding Umbrella surface in his sea of consciousness. The pattern seemed to come alive, showing all the details without omission.

Zhang Yuanjing realized that, in the refining method recorded in this jade slip, everything else was unimportant, only this pattern was its essence.

He quickly grabbed it with his left hand, using his divine sense and mana in parallel, guiding the juice to slowly solidify according to the pattern in his sea of consciousness, every step and every place was exactly the same as the pattern, and all the details were seamless.

Half an hour later, a round umbrella surface with five colors intertwined was made.

Although this object was a semi-finished product, the aura it emitted was very strong, and there were countless gaps hidden in the umbrella surface. Once the divine sense came into contact with it, it would be deeply trapped in it, unable to penetrate, and would also cause the power of the soul to be rapidly lost.
