Seeking Immortality in a Bizarre World

Chapter 285 Magical Treasure Advancement! Cultivating with the help of a Magical Treasure?_1


Two Bizarre Demons had already been sent into the Demon-Sealing Tower, and he shifted his gaze toward the final black cauldron Magic Artifact.

This was the Magic Artifact used by the Yuding Sect to Seal the Bizarre Demons.

Years ago, he had received intelligence that the Magic Artifact was sealing away the Mirror Bizarre, one of the creatures that the Bizarre Alliance planned to possess.

The previous possessed Bizarre Demon was the Heart-devouring Illusion Bizarre, whose influence was profound and had always been a fearsome enemy that Jia Ren was reluctant to face.

He was very wary of the Mirror Bizarre and had always dared not to release it.

Now, having broken through to the Golden Core Stage and having forged the Demon-Sealing Tower Treasure, his confidence was full.

He did not believe he couldn't deal with the Mirror Bizarre, which had been sealed for who knows how many years and whose strength had severely declined!

After checking the Formation and the Evil-Warding Full Body Armor to ensure there were no issues, Jia Ren finally activated the spell and lifted the restrictions on the cauldron Magic Artifact.

Green smoke appeared, and a mirror materialized out of the smoke.

This was an ancient-looking bronze mirror, with rust spots at the corners, showing its age.

At one glance, his eyes fixed on the reflection in the bronze mirror.

The person in the mirror was himself.

Clad in black Evil-Warding Full Body Armor, his right hand holding the thirty-three-layered Demon-Sealing Tower, with twelve Suppressing Fiend Holy Fire Commands linked together, hanging at his waist.

The Jia Ren in the mirror came to life, slowly walking out from the mirror.

In front of Jia Ren stood another person nearly identical to himself, emitting the Spiritual Power fluctuations of an Early Golden Core Stage Cultivator, the one holding the Demon-Sealing Tower Treasure in his left hand.

Another self?!

Was this the ability of the Mirror Bizarre?

Indeed extraordinary!

"Mirror Flower Water Moon!"

The person who walked out of the mirror raised his hand, and Jia Ren's signature Divine Skills, the Xuan Guang Water Mirrors, appeared and reflected onto him.

Ten! A hundred! A thousand!

The area was densely packed with figures identical to himself, making one's scalp tingle at a glance.

The Mirror Bizarre could even use the Divine Skills and treasures of the person it reflected?

Jia Ren, hidden within the Evil-Warding Full Body Armor, furrowed his brow.

These figures were a mix of real and fake, not all mere illusions.

The third level of Mirror Flower Water Moon?

No, this was the ability of the Mirror Bizarre; multiple mirrors manifesting even more Mirror Bizarre bodies.

This held some similarities to the technique of the Split Bizarre.

The Mirror Bizarre was already difficult to deal with; having transformed into oneself and mastered Mirror Flower Water Moon made it even more formidable.

Certainly not easy to handle!

Jia Ren threw out the Demon-Sealing Tower Treasure, and an invisible light spread, forming a Bizarre Demon-suppressing halo, repressing the power of the Bizarre Demons.

Wherever the Demon-Sealing Tower Treasure went, it rippled like water, with Mirror Bizarre bodies disappearing one by one.

The Mirror Bizarre bodies followed suit, each throwing out their Demon-Sealing Tower Treasures.

The power to Suppress the Bizarre Demons surged, forming a glow dozens of times stronger than before. In an instant, a vast number of Mirror Bizarre bodies dissipated like vapor, leaving only the dimly lit bronze mirror.

This was a Magical Treasure specifically designed to combat Bizarre Demons...

By using the Demon-Sealing Tower Treasure alongside me, aren't you courting death?

Truly seeking death too eagerly!

A false alarm; this guy's mind doesn't work right...

Not all Bizarre Demons are intelligent. Most act on instinct. Those with wisdom are rare, and the Heart-devouring Illusion Bizarre is even rarer.

The Evil-Slaying Demon-Purging Sword moved rapidly, slashing the suppressed true body of the Mirror Bizarre into smithereens and then using the Evil-Absorbing Jade Box to collect the pieces.

The Mirror Bizarre and the Smiling Bizarre were quite good. Jia Ren intended to cultivate them as Bizarre Objects to create Bizarre Talismans and Mysterious Instruments.

Should he use the Mirror Bizarre to make a Mysterious Instrument or Bizarre Talisman, pairing it with the Divine Skill Mirror Flower Water Moon, it would surely have formidable power.

After shattering the Mirror Bizarre several times and it recovering just as many, the Evil-Absorbing Jade Box collected enough Mirror Bizarre fragments before finally sealing the Mirror Bizarre into the Demon-Sealing Tower.

Three Bizarre Demons, all active!

Jia Ren looked toward the third level of the Demon-Sealing Tower. The Mirror Bizarre was burning with Purging Evil Fire, its 'material' more solid, the burning lasting longer, and providing a greater total amount of Purging Evil Fire.

A rough estimate suggested it was ten times stronger than the Misleading Bizarre.

The Mirror Bizarre was much stronger than the previous two Bizarre Demons, and it would take much longer for the Purging Evil Fire to burn it to death, completing a cycle of death.

The efficiency of killing the Mirror Bizarre was halved, with the daily Sacrificial Fire equating to five years of refining.

But there was a solution to this.

As the Demon-Sealing Tower Treasure continuously improved with the Sacrificial Fire, once it reached Nascent Soul Grade Treasure quality, the power of the Purging Evil Fire would also increase. By then, the problem would be easily solved.

"The Sacrificial Fire produced by the three Bizarre Demons each day is significant, roughly equivalent to eight years of refining in a single day."

This thing is improving way faster than myself.

In a few months, the quality will definitely reach the Nascent Soul Grade Treasure level...

He had not even reached the Middle Stage of the Golden Core, yet his Life-bound Magic Treasure was approaching the Nascent Soul Stage—who would believe this if he told them?

I wonder if there are any Special Techniques in this world that can harness the power of one's Life-bound Magic Treasure to increase one's own cultivation speed?

With the Demon-Sealing Tower Treasure's growth speed bound to be astonishing, even if Jia Ren took Elixirs every day and devoted himself to cultivation, he wouldn't be able to keep up with the growth of the Demon-Sealing Tower Treasure.

In the future, the gap would only widen.

Perhaps by the time the Demon-Sealing Tower Treasure reached the God Transformation Level, I would still be at the Golden Core Stage... This is just too awkward!

If I could find a Cultivation Technique or secret technique to cultivate in tandem with my Life-bound Magic Treasure, having a powerful Life-bound Magic Treasure nourish me would increase my cultivation speed... However, I don't know if such a Cultivation Technique exists in this world. Regardless, I need to try and find a way to attempt it.

The secret treasury of the Xuan Shui Sect has the Profound Realm Key, which is an opportunity. Perhaps within the secret treasury, I might find similar Cultivation Techniques or secret techniques. This matter isn't urgent for now. Once my strength reaches the Middle Stage of the Golden Core and the turbulence surrounding the Profound Realm Key has settled, it won't be too late to pursue it then.

Let's see how effective the Inscription of Fire Transmission is.

Jia Ren's thoughts shifted, activating the Inscription of Fire Transmission. Instead of the flame turning into Sacrificial Fire, it became Corpse-Ritual Fire.

The Corpse-Ritual Fire that emerged was more than ten times the amount that could be transformed by the Suppressing Fiend Holy Fire Command.

Five Flying Stiff were enveloped in the Corpse-Ritual Fire, and their strength increased rapidly. So delightful! Banishing Evil Talisman, Corpse Refiner, Elixir Fire for refining Magical Treasures... In the future, when I encounter Strange Fire with special effects, I could use the Inscription of Fire Transmission to transform it.

This will affect the speed of progress of the Demon-Sealing Tower Treasure. Let's leave it until after it advances to a Nascent Soul Grade Treasure!

After the Demon-Sealing Tower Treasure advances, it will only become stronger. By that time, refining the Flying Stiff can wait.

The Inscription of Fire Transmission no longer transformed the fire into Corpse-Ritual Fire, instead reverting it back to Sacrificial Fire to enhance the Demon-Sealing Tower Treasure.

Collect!

The Demon-Sealing Tower Treasure was retracted into Jia Ren's body and vanished from sight.

The growth and advancement of his Life-bound Magic Treasure far exceeded his own rate of progress. There's no need to worry or expend too much effort.

Using the Smiling Bizarre and Mirror Bizarre, he attempted to cultivate appropriate Bizarre Objects to create Bizarre Talismans and Mysterious Instruments.

In the days that followed, Jia Ren became busy. Besides secluded cultivation, his time was occupied with practicing the Star God Art and several other Secret Techniques and Divine Skills while he experimented on cultivating Bizarre Objects.

「In the blink of an eye, three months had passed.」

Just as he was about to swallow an Elixir, Jia Ren suddenly felt incessant vibrations in his Dantian.

He quickly resorted to Neishi and was astonished to find that inside his Dantian, the thirty-three-layered Demon-Sealing Tower vibrated endlessly, surrounded by countless golden flames dancing beautifully.

This is... My Magical Treasure is advancing in rank?!

Jia Ren's expression was indescribably complex. It would not be long before the Demon-Sealing Tower Treasure completed its advancement and transformation, confirming his predictions.

Ninety days had passed, equivalent to an Early Golden Core Stage Cultivator refining the Demon-Sealing Tower Treasure for 720 years. Although the time spent seemed astonishing, surpassing the lifespan of someone in the Golden Core Stage, there was still a critical issue.

The efficiency of refining a Magical Treasure varies with Cultivation Level and Realm.

Refining a Magical Treasure for the same duration at the Late Golden Core Stage, as opposed to the Early Golden Core Stage, leads to a substantially greater improvement in the Life-bound Magic Treasure.

It's extremely difficult for an Early Golden Core Stage Cultivator to elevate their Life-bound Magic Treasure to the quality of the Middle Stage of the Golden Core.

If one's Realm breaks through to the Middle Stage of the Golden Core first, then the subsequent refining would be much simpler and easier.

Each time one's Realm increases, both the Elixir Fire and Spiritual Power gain significant enhancement, thus accelerating the efficiency of refining a Magical Treasure.

Yu Sheng from the Thousand Mountains Sect did not spend too much effort refining his Life-bound Magic Treasure because he did not want to waste much time in the Golden Core Stage. Once he reached the Nascent Soul Stage, his efforts would be more effective.

Three months to advance a newly forged Magical Treasure to the Nascent Soul Level was an inconceivably fast pace for an ordinary person.

Although the Demon-Sealing Tower Treasure is my Life-bound Magic Treasure, I can't help but feel a pang of envy and jealousy.

I have yet to reach the Middle Stage of the Golden Core, yet my Life-bound Magic Treasure is about to transform into a Nascent Soul Level Treasure...

The Demon-Sealing Tower Treasure's activity continued unabated, unable to stop in a short period.

Affected by this, Jia Ren could not cultivate. Besides researching Bizarre Objects, he observed the changes in the Demon-Sealing Tower Treasure.

In the Bizarre Garden, there were currently two different types of Bizarre Objects cultivated, using the Smiling Bizarre and Bizarre Mirror as materials, contaminated to create new Bizarre Objects.

Cultivating Bizarre Objects indeed wasted time. The Smiling Face Fiend Flower encountered problems first; none of the planted Spiritual Medicine was suitable, failing to find an appropriate candidate.

I had thought my research would end in failure, but then I came up with another approach.

Just because Spirit Flowers and Spirit Grasses didn't work doesn't mean ordinary plants wouldn't either.

Bizarre Demons are extraordinary; I shouldn't limit my thinking.

Expanding the scope of the experiment made it more troublesome.

Fortunately, his approach was on the right track; an ordinary Morning Glory plant managed to mutate successfully, becoming contaminated by the power of the Smiling Bizarre and transforming into a Bizarre Object.

The newly blossomed flowers resembled a weirdly grinning face fluttering in the wind. Whenever a life form approached, the smiling flower would turn toward the target, emitting eerie laughter akin to a human's. The scene was quite chilling.

Comparatively, cultivating a Bizarre Object from the Mirror Bizarre was straightforward and easy.

Shortly after starting the experiment, a Ghost Fruit plant merged with it, mutating successfully.

This was both good news and, in a way, bad news.

Ghost Fruits are difficult to cultivate and scarce in number, ensuring that the cultivation of this Bizarre Object would be challenging, and the quantity limited.

The Bizarre Garden was densely covered in Bizarre Formations, mostly occupied by the Smiling Face Fiend Flowers, with only a few places growing the Mirror Apparition Fruit. Each fruit resembled a multi-faceted prism, bright and dazzling.

Since I can't cultivate, let's focus on researching the Smiling Weird Talisman and Bizarre Mirror!

Jia Ren had not been using the two types of Bizarre Demons for long to cultivate Bizarre Objects. He had also conducted several experiments to confirm their 'medicinal properties.'

Thanks to my previous creation of the Bizarre Sound Talisman, Bewildering Charm, and Parasitic Ghost Whip.

Creating Bizarre Talismans was built upon previous foundations; it was no longer creating something out of nothing.

With an established system, researching new Bizarre Objects is more efficient.

Based on the characteristics of the two Bizarre Objects, Jia Ren concluded that the Smiling Face Fiend Flower could be used to create Bizarre Talismans and Mysterious Pills, while the Mirror Apparition Fruit had limited production and wasn't suitable for making consumable Bizarre Talismans.
