Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension-Chapter 1540 - 833: Refining Treasure and Selecting People

Deep within the volcano, the scorching magma gathers into a lake, with massive bubbles occasionally rising to the surface, each containing a suspended Heaven and Earth True Fire—some crimson, some white-hot, others azure and purple.

Samadhi True Fire, Seven Luminaries Extreme Flame, Earth Lungs Poison Flames, Qingxiao Purple Flame, Purifying World Glazed Flame, Ancient Cold Flame, Golden Crow True Fire...

Qingxu Zi gazed at the myriad Heaven and Earth True Fires within the magma lake, secretly astonished, because while some Heaven and Earth True Fires are not difficult to collect, the Seven Luminaries Extreme Flame, Purifying World Glazed Flame, and Golden Crow True Fire are nearly Divine Flames in terms of grade, extremely rare and precious.

Just as Qingxu Zi was silently shocked, Zhao Sheng descended gracefully, arriving above the magma lake. He gestured with his hand, and a pure white True Fire soared into the air, breaking through a bubble and landing in Zhao Sheng’s palm.

"To refine the Thunder Emperor Tribulation Order, it’s best to use the Extreme Yin and Extreme Yang attributes of Heaven and Earth True Fire. Although the Golden Crow True Fire is good, it doesn’t compare to this Purifying World Glazed Flame. Ancient texts record this fire also as the World-purifying Vedic Flame, perfect for refining a Tribulation Order."

Zhao Sheng explained a few words, then asked, "Daoist Qingxu, are you ready?"

Upon hearing this, Qingxu Zi nodded solemnly, "This poor Daoist has been waiting for some time, please proceed, Master."

"Good!" Zhao Sheng exclaimed in approval, then said solemnly, "Old man needs nine pounds of flesh, twelve coins of Heart Blood, a rib bone, combined with a thread of Essence of Soul, to refine into the treasure embryo..."

Before he could finish speaking, Qingxu Zi decisively uncovered his Daoist robe and tore off a large chunk of bloody flesh from his chest and abdomen, then inserted his right hand into his ribs, forcibly breaking a rib bone.

At the same time, he spat out a crimson Essence Blood Pearl, rapidly spinning and flying towards Zhao Sheng.

Qingxu Zi calmly put down his Daoist robe, appearing as if nothing had happened.

On the other side, Zhao Sheng suddenly flicked his hand, causing the Purifying World Glazed Flame to shoot forth, instantly expanding into a massive fireball three zhang in diameter.

Next, Zhao Sheng extracted several Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from the Sumeru Ring, including the Thunder Tribulation Crystal and Ancient Copper, unbelievably rare treasures.

He flicked his fingers, sending the Thunder Tribulation Crystal and other Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures flying into the Purifying World Glazed Flame.

Simultaneously, the Essence Blood Pearl, flesh, and rib bone also entered the Purifying World Glazed Flame.

At this moment, Zhao Sheng suddenly sat cross-legged in the void, his brow faintly glowing, while his hands continuously formed seals, and within moments, sent thousands of Mysterious Light Spirit Seals into the pure white fireball.

His Divine Thought instantly split into countless invisible silk strings, entering the Purifying World Glazed Flame, swiftly evolving and intertwining, continuously stacking and extending, gradually constructing an incredibly complex three-dimensional structure within the melting treasures.

As time passed, the flesh and rib bone first transformed into countless blood lights, then quickly melded with the Thunder Tribulation Crystal, Ancient Copper, and other Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

The Purifying World Glazed Flame was extremely restrained, appearing tranquil as water, but actually possessing the power to incinerate everything.

Time flowed like water, and twenty-seven days swiftly passed.

On this day, the pure white fireball, initially three zhang in diameter, had shrunk to the size of a water jar.

Zhao Sheng’s forehead showed faint sweat, his eyes gleaming like stars, unwaveringly fixed on the nearby Purifying World Glazed Flame, while each hand formed a bizarre Spell Seal. An immense surge of mana turned into two pillars as thick as a child’s arm, entering the pure white fireball.

At this moment, one could clearly see a bronze token, arm-length and three inches thick, slowly floating and sinking deep within the flame, exuding a faint mysterious aura.

A hundred zhang behind Zhao Sheng, Qingxu Zi appeared slightly tense, his eyes tightly fixed on the bronze token, filled with anticipation and yearning.

After half a day, Zhao Sheng suddenly underwent a change. His hands moved, abruptly dismissing the Spell Seal, causing the light columns to vanish instantly.

In the next moment, the bronze token suddenly shot out from the fireball, falling instantly into Zhao Sheng’s hand.

Boom!

The Purifying World Glazed Flame plummeted from mid-air, vanishing into the magma lake in an instant.

Seeing this, Qingxu Zi could not help but step forward, his gaze fervently fixed on the Thunder Emperor Tribulation Order in Zhao Sheng’s hand.

"Mission accomplished!" Zhao Sheng smiled slightly, casually tossing the Thunder Emperor Tribulation Order over.

Qingxu Zi eagerly caught the bronze token, and upon touching it, a peculiar sensation as if his blood and flesh were merging surged within him.

Noticing Qingxu Zi’s different demeanor, Zhao Sheng immediately understood and explained, "Daoist Qingxu may not know. This Thunder Emperor Tribulation Order is somewhat similar to a Life Replacement Puppet. The Life Replacement Puppet has the ability to substitute for death, and the Tribulation Order can also reduce the power of tribulation thunder for its master. In my view, the predecessor who first refined this order surely referenced the methods for refining a Life Replacement Puppet. The refining difficulty of both is actually comparable.

However, refining a Tribulation Order requires profound insight into the Thunder Dao. This sole requirement is enough to thwart over ninety percent of Refining Masters.

Fortunately, Daoist Qingxu found me, otherwise... hehe!"

Qingxu Zi took a deep breath, carefully stowing away the Thunder Emperor Tribulation Order, then solemnly bowed to Zhao Sheng in gratitude, "This poor Daoist has waited for this day for a thousand years. The master’s treasure refining today is like a rebirth. Should the master have any tasks in the future, this poor Daoist will certainly spare no effort to repay the master’s kindness."

"Daoist Qingxu need not be so formal. The old man has already received ample compensation. We owe each other nothing, why mention the word ’kindness,’" Zhao Sheng extended his hand to help Qingxu Zi up, speaking in a detached tone.
