A Mortal's Journey: Starting as the Young Master of Demonic Cultivation

Chapter 21 Refining Your Natal Magic Treasure

Zi Ling took the black jade slip; her fingertips felt slightly cool, and she felt a little puzzled.

Although she knew that a very small number of cultivators in the cultivation world possessed special physiques.

Some techniques may enhance a cultivator's cultivation speed, while others are extremely suitable for cultivating special techniques.

But this was the first time she had ever known that she had a special constitution. However, Zi Ling knew that Wen Tianren, a powerful Core Formation expert, had a level of knowledge far beyond her reach.

Upon receiving the Xuan Yin Scripture, a demonic art renowned throughout the Chaotic Star Sea, Zi Ling felt no excitement. Instead, she thought of using this technique to slaughter everyone on Ji Yin Island in the future, as a tribute to her father's departed soul.

"Thank you very much, senior."

"From now on, you can just call me Young Master like Qingyu does; you don't need to call me Senior."

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, for the next period of time, I, Xiao, will be in seclusion in my cave. Qingyu is also in seclusion at the moment, and Ziling will remain with you at the Miaoyin Sect. Here are some cultivation resources."

Wen Tianren will be busy refining the Zhou Tian Star Needle upon his return, summoning all six demonic phantoms of the Six Extremes True Demon Art. He has no time to concern himself with matters of love and romance.

Therefore, instead of taking Zi Ling back to the Holy Mountain Cave, they left her in the Wonderful Sound Sect.

Zhou Yuan was overjoyed upon hearing this and took the storage bag, saying, "Since Fellow Daoist Xiao and Sister Qingyu are both going into seclusion, then let my daughter stay by my side for the time being. I will supervise her cultivation."

He then gave instructions, telling the Miaoyin Sect to collect any rare and unidentifiable spiritual herbs and materials, and to buy them from the market no matter how many spirit stones they were worth.

Although Wen Tianren has many spiritual medicines and materials templates that can be copied.

However, there are also many things that he did not collect and that he needed the help of the Miaoyin Sect to collect directly.

Afterwards, Wen Tianren returned to his cave in the sacred mountain.

In the days that followed, Wen Tianren used the green liquid to accelerate the growth of the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo while cultivating the Six Extremes True Demon Art.

……

Three years later, on a certain day.

The bamboo in the herb garden, which was originally only two inches long, is now completely different.

In a corner of the herb garden, the Thunder Bamboo that was originally only two inches long is now completely different from what it used to be—it is now over a foot tall, its entire body lush and green, and surrounded by a faint glow.

What's even more surprising is that a young bamboo shoot has sprouted next to it, with tender buds just beginning to unfurl, exuding vitality.

This young bamboo was grown to ten thousand years old a few days ago by Wen Tianren. He continued to drip green liquid onto it, and although it remained the same, it did not increase in age after reaching ten thousand years.

However, after adding a few drops of green liquid, the young bamboo shoot sprouted again.

Wen Tianren stared intently for a while, then suddenly pointed with his right hand, and a thick, ink-like Six Extremes Demonic Qi transformed into black light, shooting straight at the Thunder Bamboo.

"Sizzle—!"

Before the black light could touch the bamboo, a pale golden arc of electricity suddenly burst forth, like a dragon soaring into the sky, instantly shattering the demonic energy, turning it into a wisp of green smoke, and disappearing without a trace.

"As expected of the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder, even ordinary magical treasures would damage the spirituality of my Six Extremes Demonic Qi if they came into contact with it, but this bamboo's spontaneous Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder actually dispersed my Six Extremes Demonic Qi. It truly lives up to its reputation."

Wen Tianren picked the ten-thousand-year-old Thunder Bamboo from the medicine garden, and then spent 300,000 spirit stones to replicate two more ten-thousand-year-old Golden Thunder Bamboo.

Then, Wen Tianren arrived at the weapon-refining room. He patted his storage bag and took out a number of crystallized demon cores, two fist-sized pieces of Geng essence, star sand, gold magnetic spirit stone, deep-sea silver mother, golden thunder bamboo, and many other rare spiritual materials that were hard to find elsewhere. He then arranged them in a row in front of the weapon-refining furnace.

However, he did not rush to refine it. Instead, he meditated quietly for three days and three nights, trying to get himself into the best state.

His natal magic weapon was extremely important to him. The method of refining the Zhou Tian Star Needle recorded in the Little Big Dipper Yuan Gong was extremely complicated, so it could not be refined as casually as the magic weapons he had refined in the past.

For cultivators, their natal magic weapon is the most important and most readily available magic weapon.

Normally, it is placed in the dantian and nurtured with one's own magical power. As the cultivator's cultivation level increases, the power of the natal magic weapon will also increase.

Han Li chased the ancient demon all the way from Tiannan to Dajin just to retrieve two of his seventy-two Golden Thunder Bamboo Flying Swords, which were his natal magic treasures.

The Xuan Tian Zhan Ling Sword, a top-tier Xuan Tian treasure in the Spirit Realm, was used by Han Li to block the heavenly tribulation when he ascended to the Immortal Realm. It broke directly, but he didn't feel too much heartache, which shows that his natal magic weapon still holds a higher position in his heart.

Wen Tianren then flipped his left hand, and a lotus-shaped blackish-purple flame appeared, dancing in his palm.

This is the karmic fire that comes with him after cultivating the Six Extremes True Demon Art. It is much more powerful than his own alchemical fire. Otherwise, it would have taken him a long time to refine these materials with alchemical fire.

"go!"

With a flick of his right hand, Wen Tianren threw the karmic fire into the refining furnace, enveloping all the Geng essence within it.

Then Wen Tianren continuously poured his magical power into it to keep the karmic fire burning.

Under the scorching heat of the karmic fire, the Geng essence gradually began to soften over two days, slowly turning into a pool of silvery-gold liquid that floated above the furnace.

Wen Tianren used magic to suspend the liquid transformed from Geng essence in one place inside the alchemy furnace. Then he took out materials such as Golden Thunder Bamboo and Golden Magnetic Spirit Stone and put them into the refining furnace one by one.

Over the next two weeks, Wen Tianren continuously used karmic fire to refine every single material into liquid.

"Phew, finally finished refining."

After continuously injecting his own magical power over the past two weeks, Wen Tianren's magical power was now almost exhausted.

After refining these materials, Wen Tianren's magical power was almost exhausted, so he quickly stopped and swallowed a pill to restore his magical power.

After resting for a while, Wen Tianren began the next step.

The various materials that were originally refined into liquids were mixed by Wen Tianren into a ball of golden liquid the size of a human head, shining as brightly as the sun.

Under Wen Tianren's powerful divine control, the golden liquid was divided into 365 portions, which were distributed in mid-air, like stars in the sky, shining brightly.

With his hands constantly shifting, Wen Tianren activated the magic array he had set up, beginning to shape the magic weapon. Guided by the array, it floated in the center of the array.

As the magic array operated, the 365 clumps of golden liquid in mid-air gradually condensed into the shape of flying needles.

Next, he mobilized all his divine sense and expended a great deal of magical power to carefully carve miniature magic arrays into these flying needles.

Besides the materials, the most important element in crafting magical artifacts is the array formations. The core source of a magical artifact's power lies in these tiny array formations.

The magical treasures and formations recorded in the Little Big Dipper Star Yuan Gong were far more complex and numerous than those on the magical treasures he had encountered before.

After Wen Tianren used his divine sense to carve all the tiny magic arrays onto the surface, sweat was constantly pouring down his forehead, clearly indicating that this was a great burden for him.

After a moment, he began to imprint mysterious runes onto the flying needles, which was the key to assembling a set of Zhou Tian Xing Chen needles.

"Phew! This drain on my divine sense is terrifying. Even with my divine sense, which is comparable to that of a Nascent Soul, it's almost completely drained."

Wen Tianren then took a Soul Nourishing Pill and began to regulate his breathing.

"Okay, just one more step!"

Wen Tianren bit his tongue hard, spitting out a mouthful of blood that condensed into a blood clot in front of him.

After losing this mass of essence blood, Wen Tianren's aura clearly declined. In an instant, his breath became weak, his face turned as pale as paper, and he felt a wave of weakness coming from his body.

With a flick of his finger, the blood clump fell into the magic array. Under the control of his divine sense, it invaded the flying needles and merged with the three hundred and sixty-five golden needles.

At the same time, Wen Tianren's fingers kept changing, quickly forming hand seals, and he was chanting mysterious incantations that were difficult to hear.

Wen Tianren was currently in the final step of refining his natal magic weapon, using his own blood essence to refine it.

Only in this way can one deepen the connection with the cultivator, absorb it into one's body, and after a period of nurturing in the dantian, gradually transform it into one's own natal magic weapon, allowing one to use the magic weapon as easily as one's own arm.

"go!"

Two days later, the final incantation was completed, the blood sacrifice was finally finished, and the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Needle magic weapon was finally completed.

At this moment, Wen Tianren's face was somewhat pale, but his heart was filled with excitement.

He opened his mouth and inhaled, swallowing all 365 star needles into his stomach, where they were gently nurtured in his dantian.
