Chapter 1180
"Don't tell me … this is the Devil Refining Gourd?"
Zhang Xiaohua could not be sure. After all, he had only seen the small teapot in Bai Yanqiu's hands and the enlarged lid, as well as the "Devil Refining Gourd" that Wan Wuxin had mentioned. However, the Devil Refining Gourd in front of him seemed to be different from Bai Yanqiu's teapot!
As Zhang Xiaohua's spiritual connection with the cauldron disappeared, the cauldron let out a cheerful cry and turned into a black dot in an instant. It flew into the sky and disappeared without a trace!
"What a loss!" Zhang Xiaohua watched as the cauldron flew away. However, there was nothing he could do about it. He was extremely regretful!
He lowered his head and looked at the surroundings of the stone tablet. The seven grooves had disappeared and it was now very flat!
Zhang Xiaohua's heart skipped a beat. He flew towards the stone tablet again …
As expected, the stone tablet was no longer protected by an invisible barrier. Zhang Xiaohua easily approached the stone tablet!
He placed his hand on the stone tablet. A warm feeling came from his fingers. Following that, a heartbeat came from the stone tablet!
"This … is this stone tablet alive?"
Zhang Xiaohua was shocked again. However, when he scanned it with his spiritual awareness, he found that the stone tablet was different from the one at Lingxiang Peak. There were no talismans on it. There were no strange patterns on it. All he could feel was an ancient aura!
"Refine it!"
Zhang Xiaohua only had one thought. To deal with … this stone tablet, Zhang Xiaohua could only refine it!
With that thought in mind, Zhang Xiaohua sat down cross-legged and placed his hand on top of the stone tablet. He silently circulated his True Qi and used the method that Huan Wuxin had taught him to refine the stone tablet. He slowly transferred his True Qi to the stone tablet!
Zhang Xiaohua almost jumped out of the air when he silently circulated his vital energy.
"Aiyo, this … this happened again?
Could it be that when I was unconscious, there were countless lightning bolts in this wasteland?
Did I attract lightning when I was unconscious? "
Zhang Xiaohua was baffled. She thought to herself, "But … even if I guided the lightning into my body and absorbed a lot of spiritual energy … it's still impossible … all of a sudden … Qi Refining … Late stage of the sixteenth level … This … jump is really too big!!!"
Thinking about this, Zhang Xiaohua didn't dare to refine the stone tablet anymore. She sat down cross-legged with her palms facing the sky. She practiced the Carefree Heart Sutra from the first level all the way to the later stages of the sixteenth level. The true Qi flowed smoothly in her meridians, and there wasn't a trace of obscurity. Obviously … she had successfully mastered the sixteenth level of the Carefree Heart Sutra!
Furthermore … there weren't any hidden dangers, nor were there any after-effects!
Zhang Xiaohua once again scratched his bald head. He was both surprised and frightened. This was the first time he had encountered someone who could jump several levels in a row. He didn't know … whether this was a good thing or a bad thing!
After a short moment, Zhang Xiaohua sighed and thought to herself, Could it be … that this is some sort of immortal fate as well?
Second Brother only had to kowtow a few times, and he could set foot on the path of immortality.
I … Did I run into some bullsh * t luck too?
But … I didn't kowtow much!
Aiyo, I finally understand why the immortal seniors from the Dalin Temple, the School of Fragrance, and Between the Clouds and the Water all want to come to this immortal mansion, even if they have to risk their lives to be the first. This … this place … there really is an opportunity. If Nun Jing Yi was here and encountered an opportunity like mine, wouldn't she be able to reach the legendary Foundation Establishment stage in a short time?
She would be able to catch up with Fire-dragon Immortal.
I'm only at the late stage of the Qi Refining stage because of my low level of cultivation. Compared to the others, I'm nothing! "
Zhang Xiaohua's heart calmed down when he thought of the people in the immortal mansion. It would be strange if there weren't any fortuitous encounters in the immortal mansion. The Dalin Temple's Master Tiangang, the School of Fragrance's Nun Shu Qing, and the School of Between the Clouds and the Water's Daoist Master Haoyun wouldn't have to come out of seclusion and fight with the others for the immortal mansion!
Suppressing the surprise of his cultivation advancement, Zhang Xiaohua sat down again. He placed his hand on the stone tablet and began to refine it. After a long time, an extremely thin layer of gold appeared on top of the tablet. Zhang Xiaohua's face paled. It seemed that the consumption of true qi was too great!
At this time … a powerful consciousness came out of the tablet and directly attacked Zhang Xiaohua's Niwan Palace!
The consciousness was hidden so deeply and the attack was so fast that Zhang Xiaohua didn't have time to react. The consciousness attacked Zhang Xiaohua's Niwan Palace and directly hit the Essence of Herbalism!
"Bang!" The vibration in Zhang Xiaohua's Niwan Palace made Zhang Xiaohua's face pale. The Essence of Herbalism wrapped in the golden Essence of Herbalism was shaken by the consciousness. It shook slightly and then stabilized!
"Eh?
What … is … this …? "
An old and weak voice faintly sounded in Zhang Xiaohua's heart. At the same time, Zhang Xiaohua's Essence of Herbalism slightly paused. With a flash of golden light, the dragon, tiger, and phoenix talismans formed a mysterious connection and slightly rotated. The rooster talisman, the three-legged golden crow talisman, and the rabbit talisman also emitted golden light and slightly moved …
"What … what is this?"
When the consciousness realized that it couldn't control Zhang Xiaohua's Niwan Palace, it wanted to escape. However, the rabbit talisman, which appeared first, immediately dispersed and 815 small talismans surrounded the consciousness. The consciousness panicked and tried to escape, but it couldn't. A weak voice came from Zhang Xiaohua's heart again, "Fellow cultivator, please spare my life. I was just like you … I wanted to come to this immortal mansion … to seek the immortal fate. Unexpectedly, my body was destroyed by the phoenix suppressed here … I …"
Before the consciousness could finish its words, the three-legged golden crow spat out a faint flame, which hit the consciousness. The consciousness screamed and then went silent. The rooster talisman opened its mouth and absorbed the unowned consciousness scattered in the Niwan Palace into the Essence of Herbalism. With every rotation of the golden divine restriction, a trace of the consciousness was refined and absorbed by the Essence of Herbalism. The Essence of Herbalism also grew little by little!
It was only at this moment that Zhang Xiaohua came to his senses and snorted coldly, "Are you trying to control me?
You want I to be your puppet?
What a good plan! Even if I can control this innate divine restriction, I will still refine you!
Those who kill will be killed by others!
If you didn't have evil thoughts about I, how could I kill you? "
"But, this … this place suppresses a phoenix?
Who suppresses it?
A phoenix?
The phoenix I saw just now … seemed to be in nirvana!
Rising from the ashes?
Yes, it should be. I accidentally touched it. I was lucky enough to escape. The phoenix must have succeeded in nirvana and is hiding somewhere!
Unfortunately … this is not anyone's person. It was burned by the three-legged golden crow too quickly. I only heard one sentence. If only I could ask more! "
Then, Zhang Xiaohua became more careful when she was refining the tablet. But … she didn't touch the consciousness hidden in the tablet again!
But … even if she didn't encounter any accidents, Zhang Xiaohua didn't refine the tablet smoothly. She didn't know if it was because Zhang Xiaohua's cultivation was too low or because the tablet was too difficult to refine. Zhang Xiaohua used up all her True Qi and only refined the tablet as much as a finger. She took out a vitality stone and absorbed the Qi of Heaven and Earth while refining the tablet. But she only refined about ten percent of the tablet. She couldn't refine more!
After trying for a long time, Zhang Xiaohua sighed and put away the vitality stone. Then she spat a mouthful of essence blood on the tablet. She slapped her hand and shouted, "Quick ~"
The tablet flashed with a golden light and immediately shrank until it was the size of a palm. It flew into Zhang Xiaohua's hand.
"Hehe, my cultivation is limited. If I could refine it completely, it could become a small dot or be absorbed into my body. But now, it can only be this big and can't be absorbed into my body. I still have to put it in my purse!
What a pity, what a pity! "
Zhang Xiaohua looked at the tablet in her hand and said thoughtfully, "So this tablet is the spiritual tablet of the immortal mansion. If I want to control this immortal mansion, I have to refine it."
"Once I refine the entire Immortal mansion, which is as large as the entire Immortal mansion on Mount Yao, I'll … I'll be able to control it completely. I'll be able to make it as big as I want it to be, and even shrink it down to the size of a speck.
Even if it fuses into my body … it's normal.
Hehe, if I want to move it away, I can put it somewhere else, even in the void or in mid-air!
Good heavens … this … is really a god-like method. I … never dreamed of this! "
"But my cultivation is limited and I can only refine ten percent. Although I can't completely refine the tablet, ten percent … is enough to control part of the immortal mansion. Although I can't change it endlessly, it's enough to carve a large 'Zhang' character on the immortal mansion!"
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but laugh loudly.
With a point of his finger, a ray of light flashed from the Mansion Guarding Spirit Stele. Ten thin strands flew into the air. Not long after, each strand was attached to an Immortal Artifact. Those Immortal Artifacts were all humming slightly. Unfortunately, in this Immortal Abode, they … could only bow their heads and listen to orders!
When they got close, Zhang Xiaohua waved her hand and the ten Dharma treasures disappeared in the blink of an eye. She put them all into her money bag!
Even though the immortal mansion belonged to Zhang Xiaohua now, and the ten Dharma artifacts would not run away even if they were placed in the palace, Zhang Xiaohua felt that he could only be at ease if he kept them in his money pouch and in his arms!
"Okay, I've put away the Dharma treasures!
Now … it's time to chase away those robbers who came to my house! "
Zhang Xiaohua smiled as he held the Mansion Guarding Spirit Stele in his hand. He pointed at it, and a rainbow appeared under his feet and flew into the distance.
Zhang Xiaohua didn't seem to do anything, but his figure flew along the rainbow into the distance …
At the foot of Yao Mountain, in the immortal mansion, Master Chang Sheng of the Dalin Temple, Nun Jing Yi of the Incense Cult, and Bai Yanqiu of Between the Clouds and the Water were all shocked when they saw that the immortal seniors of the various sects had been "killed together" and reached another agreement. They ordered their disciples to guard the steps of the immortal mansion while they relied on their own abilities. Whoever climbed the steps first would enter the immortal mansion first …
