Chapter 208: Chapter 195: Refining a Rank-16 Daoist Soldier (2)

Step one.

Xu Qing needed to refine the ’Daoist Soldier Body’.

Step two.

Xu Qing needed to draw the ’Profound Soldier Talisman of a Tier Sixteen Daoist Soldier’.

Step three.

Xu Qing needed to merge the ’Profound Soldier Talisman of a Tier Sixteen Daoist Soldier’ with the ’Daoist Soldier Body’. Only then could he successfully refine a ’Tier Sixteen Daoist Soldier’.

“Activate array!”

BOOM!

Xu Qing stood in the courtyard. He took out eighteen types of materials and spent three days refining nine Vice Array Flags, one Main Array Flag, and one Main Array Plate.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

With a wave of his right hand, the circular Array Plate shot through the air first. It moved with incredible speed, ascending rapidly and settling in the very center of the courtyard.

Upon closer inspection, the circular Main Array Plate was a glossy black, inscribed with countless Array Patterns that merged together, beginning to emit waves of light.

“Go.”

With another wave of his right hand, Xu Qing brought out the Main Array Flag. The black flag transformed into a streak of black light, zipping through the air to land right in the middle of the Main Array Plate.

BOOM!

An extremely powerful surge of Energy erupted.

“Profound Weapon Refining Heaven Array.”

Xu Qing gave a soft cry, then took out nine Vice Array Flags. Each Vice Array Flag was only half the size of the Main Array Flag, and they were crimson-purple in color.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!!

The nine Vice Array Flags transformed into nine streaks of light. They shot through the air, not landing on the Main Array Plate, but rather in the surrounding courtyard, plunging straight down into nine different positions.

“Array, activate!”

BZZZT! BZZZT! BZZZT!

Xu Qing formed seals with his hands. In a flash, he condensed a series of Dharma Seals, forming one thousand and eighty of them in total, and quickly sent them into the Main Array Plate.

In that instant,

the Main Array Plate, Main Array Flag, and Vice Array Flags all began to pulse with light. They formed a connection with one another, surging with countless brilliant rays.

In the blink of an eye,

the ’Profound Weapon Refining Heaven Array’ was successfully set up.

“Good.”

A satisfied smile appeared on Xu Qing’s face as he gazed at the Array in the courtyard. Once the Profound Weapon Refining Heaven Array was established, a mass of cyan flame appeared at the courtyard’s center.

This flame was called the Profound Weapon Celestial Refining Flame.

It was divided into three levels.

Specifically,

the cyan flame was Level 1, the Purple Flame was Level 2, and the black-purple flame was Level 3.

“Kaya, Wu Yi, Wu Er, Wu San.”

Xu Qing sat cross-legged, but he was levitating, seated in the Void. He gave a solemn order, “Guard me. Do not allow any being to disturb me.”

“Yes.”

“As you command.”

“Please rest assured, Master.”

“…”

Kaya and the others replied swiftly.

In addition,

the Ice Daoist Soldiers and Vajra Daoist Soldiers also stood guard around the courtyard.

Moreover,

within the courtyard itself,

there were six types of Level 20 Dharma Artifacts. Their Mighty Power had been fully awakened, forming a twelve-layered Domain sufficient to conceal any disturbance caused by Xu Qing’s refining of the Tier Sixteen Daoist Soldiers.

All preparations were complete.

Xu Qing took a deep breath. He could now begin. He took out one of the thirty-six materials needed to refine the ’Daoist Soldier Body’: the ’Daoxuan Stone’.

“Refine!”

SWISH!

With a wave of his right hand, the ’Daoxuan Stone’ flew out. The stone was a mysterious cyan color, like an oval-shaped rock with its longest diameter reaching one meter. Its surface was covered in lines that resembled ’Dao Patterns’.

BZZZT! BZZZT! BZZZT!

The ’Profound Weapon Refining Heaven Array’ activated. The cyan flame blazed, tempering the ’Daoxuan Stone’. A Level 1 flame was all that was needed to temper the ’Daoxuan Stone’.

An hour later,

Xu Qing had finished tempering the ’Daoxuan Stone’. The stone, which originally had a longest diameter of one meter, had been refined into a palm-sized ball of viscous liquid.

Evidently,

all impurities had been purged.

Xu Qing took another deep breath. Gazing at the tempered Daoxuan Stone, he nodded in satisfaction and took out the second material: the ’Celestial Spirit Bone’.

It was a translucent, crystal-clear bone, like one carved from white jade.

“Refine!”

Xu Qing began the refining process.

An hour later,

the ’Celestial Spirit Bone’ had also been tempered. It transformed into a palm-sized ball of liquid, milky-white like viscous milk.

Time flew by.

There were thirty-six materials in total.

Each material,

Xu Qing needed to temper for one hour using the Level 1 ’cyan flame’ to successfully refine it into a liquid essence.

However,

six of the materials were of a higher tier and quality. They were the main components and required the Level 2 ’Purple Flame’ to be tempered.

Furthermore,

each of these six materials required nine hours of tempering.

These six materials were: the Nine Heavens Profound Spirit Stone, Nine Nether Stone Bone, Blood of Ten Thousand Demons, Deceitful God Skin, Celestial Demon Heart, and Celestial Immortal Lingzhi Jade.

In the end,

Xu Qing spent a total of eighty-four hours—nearly four days—to finish tempering all thirty-six materials.

“Mm.”

A satisfied smile spread across Xu Qing’s face. He looked into the Profound Weapon Refining Heaven Array. In the center was the cyan flame, surrounded by the liquid essences refined from the thirty-six materials.

“Refine!”

BZZZT! BZZZT! BZZZT!

Xu Qing gave a soft cry. He formed seals with his hands, creating a series of Dharma Seals that he quickly sent into the thirty-six liquids.

BOOM!

The next moment,

the Profound Weapon Refining Heaven Array began to operate. The cyan flame slowly transformed, turning into the Level 2 Purple Flame within just a few minutes.

At the same time,

the essences refined from the six main materials—the Nine Heavens Profound Spirit Stone, Nine Nether Stone Bone, Blood of Ten Thousand Demons, Deceitful God Skin, Celestial Demon Heart, and Celestial Immortal Lingzhi Jade—were guided by Xu Qing to slowly form the primary framework of the ’Tier Sixteen Daoist Soldier Main Body’.

“Go!”

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!!!

Immediately after,

the liquid essences refined from the other thirty materials also began to merge into the framework. They continuously filled in the gaps, gradually pushing the ’Tier Sixteen Daoist Soldier Main Body’ toward perfection.

At the same time,

as they merged, they were further tempered and forged by the Level 2 ’Purple Flame’, ensuring a perfect fusion of the essences from all the various materials.

Gradually, they became one…

Time passed in a blur.

「Seven days later.」

BOOM!

Xu Qing felt a powerful wave of fluctuation. The ’Daoist Soldier Body’ was now refined. It floated in the center of the Profound Weapon Refining Heaven Array, being slowly tempered by the dense Level 2 ’Purple Flame’.

Now,

the refining was complete.

Of course,

this was just the ’Tier Sixteen Daoist Soldier Main Body’, the completion of only the first step. Therefore, its appearance was similar to that of a silicone doll, still distinct from a real human.

“Not bad.”

Xu Qing carefully sensed the state of the ’Tier Sixteen Daoist Soldier Main Body’. Although this was his first attempt, the refining was perfect, with almost no flaws.

After all,

Xu Qing’s ’Taoist Skill: Xuanbing Talisman Art’ had reached Level 10.

It could be said that

Xu Qing’s ’Daoist Soldier Skill’ had reached the absolute pinnacle, an extraordinary level beyond all others.

“Continue.”

With a subtle change in expression, Xu Qing took out one set of materials after another. These were the same thirty-six materials needed to refine the ’Tier Sixteen Daoist Soldier Main Body’.

Apparently,

Ye Langtian hadn’t just collected one set of materials, but nine sets in total. Xu Qing had succeeded on his very first attempt with just the first set.

Next,

Xu Qing continued refining, using up all the remaining eight sets of materials. He was able to consume one set of materials and refine a ’Tier Sixteen Daoist Soldier Main Body’ every half-month.

Therefore,

it took Xu Qing a total of four months from start to finish.

’Next is the second step.’

Xu Qing looked at the nine Tier Sixteen Daoist Soldier Main Bodies standing beside him, extremely satisfied. He then took out the materials needed to refine the ’Tier Sixteen Daoist Soldier Talisman’.

Similarly,

refining the ’Tier Sixteen Daoist Soldier Talisman’ also required thirty-six types of materials.
