Illusionary Mask, Slaying Demonic Beasts!

Lu Ze chose the Azure Cloud Sword because he wanted to comprehend the Azure Cloud Sword Intent as soon as possible and cultivate the Azure Cloud Sword Technique to perfection!

As for the Blade Spirit, there should be opportunities to enhance it in the subsequent upgrade options for the flying sword.

Immediately after deducting 1000 source points, the enhancement was completed, and the Azure Spirit Sword in his hand instantly upgraded to the first-tier top-grade Azure Cloud Sword. The sword body was filled with azure light, and a powerful sword intent imprint was contained within the sword!

When a first-grade low-level flying sword is upgraded to a first-grade high-level flying sword, the speed and power of the flying sword will be greatly increased!

With his current mastery of the Azure Cloud Sword Technique and his cultivation at the fourth level of the Qi Refining Realm, plus the power of a top-grade first-tier flying sword, he should be able to kill a master at the sixth level of the Qi Refining Realm!

The Song family patriarch is no longer a threat!

However, even with a spiritual cultivation level of the fourth level of the Qi Refining Realm, the endurance of a first-grade top-quality flying sword is still quite poor.

The next step should be to accumulate source points, strengthen elixirs, and improve cultivation!

Lu Ze plans to accumulate 1100 Source Points to enhance the superior-grade Essence Pill twice. After enhancement, the first-grade superior-grade Azure Spirit Pill may surpass the first-grade supreme-grade pill.

Then his cultivation level will surely soar rapidly, making him a true top expert in Yunhe County!

At this point, Lu Ze had 260 Source Points left. After thinking for a moment, he decided to strengthen the Ever-Changing Mask first.

The Hundred-Change Mask is only a top-grade mortal item, which can fool Han Xiaotian, a centurion in the Condensation Realm, but it certainly cannot fool a Qi Refining Realm immortal master.

After all, disguise can only change appearance, and it is difficult to change aura, physique, height, etc., but the upgraded Hundred Transformations Mask should be able to have this ability.

A moment later, Lu Ze took out the Hundred Transformations Mask and the Black Fiend Tiger Skin, placed them together as a whole, stared at them intently, and consumed 100 Source Points to enhance them.

"Strengthening direction: 1 Thousand Illusions. Strengthening it will yield the Thousand Illusions Mask, a first-tier mid-grade magic weapon. It allows one to freely change their appearance, expression, and aura, making others ignore their physical characteristics. It can also be used to cast illusions to attack enemies. It is the basic magic weapon for disciples of the Thousand Illusions Sect in the cultivation world."

2. Charm: Enhancement grants the Charm Mask, a Tier 1 mid-grade magic weapon, a basic magic weapon for disciples of the Heavenly Maiden Sect. It greatly enhances the user's appearance and increases their charm to the opposite sex. Users can cast seductive spells to charm the opposite sex into becoming their devoted admirers.

The third skill, "Serving Ghost," can be upgraded to obtain the Tier 3 Mid-grade magic weapon, the Mountain Lord Ghost Mask. It is one of the basic magic weapons for disciples of the Netherworld Sect, capable of enslaving the soul of a killer into a servile ghost, or forcibly enslaving a mid-level vengeful ghost. Through the Mountain Lord Ghost Mask, one can summon vengeful ghosts to attack, or allow vengeful ghosts to possess one's body, greatly enhancing one's own strength.

Lu Ze looked at the three options, all of which were actually quite good, but after careful consideration, he still chose the Thousand Illusion Mask.

A moment later, 100 points were deducted from the source point, and the Hundred Transformations Mask and the Black Fiend Tiger Skin disappeared, replaced by the silver Thousand Illusions Mask.

Lu Ze put on the Thousand Illusion Mask, and the mask's color quickly matched his own skin tone, making his aura completely concealed.

With this Thousand Illusions Mask, even a Qi Refining Realm Immortal Master would be unable to discern his true identity.

Lu Ze then wanted to continue hunting, but his Qiankun bag was already full.

He didn't want to waste all the materials from the ferocious beasts he killed, so after thinking for a moment, he decided to enhance another mid-grade first-tier spatial magic artifact.

This time, Lu Ze didn't want to strengthen the storage bag anymore, but instead prepared to strengthen the Qiankun Ring.

He currently lacks a basic ring as a enhancement material.

However, after thinking for a moment, Lu Ze took out a top-grade mortal-level Hundred-Refined Treasure Blade and used his Solar True Qi to drive the golden Solar True Fire to refine it, obtaining a small ball of iron essence.

In the world of cultivation, this essence of iron is also known as iron essence. It is a commonly used first-tier refining material. Depending on the strength of the true fire of the person refining it, its grade ranges from low-grade first tier to top-grade first tier.

Lu Ze stared at the iron essence in his hand. The quality was top-grade first tier, not bad!

He then used golden solar fire to temper it, compressed it with solar energy, and condensed it into a black ring. He then infused it with his own solar energy and the divine power of the solar true form diagram, condensing it into a brand.

Then, Lu Ze stared at the black ring in his hand.

Item: Ring of the Fiery Sun

Quality: Tier 1 Inferior Magic Item

Effect: When infused with Yang-attribute internal energy and true qi, it can unleash supreme Yang sword qi to injure enemies. Once the power of the divine imprint is exhausted, the artifact will become an ornament.

Not bad, although it's a bit lacking, it can be further improved.

Immediately, Lu Ze stared at the Blazing Sun Ring and consumed 100 Source Points to enhance it.

"Currently available upgrade options: 1. Attack: Upgrading this item will grant you a Tier 1 mid-grade magic weapon, the Blazing Sun Ring, which can instantly unleash Blazing Sun Sword Qi at the fourth level of the Qi Refining Realm to attack enemies. The speed is extremely fast and difficult to defend against. 2. Defense: Upgrading this item will grant you a Tier 1 mid-grade Pure Yang Ring, which can instantly activate a Primordial Pure Yang Qi Shield at the fourth level of the Qi Refining Realm to resist sneak attacks. 3. Storage: Upgrading this item will grant you a Tier 1 mid-grade Qiankun Ring, containing 100 cubic meters of space."

Lu Ze was quite tempted by the Pure Yang Ring with its defensive attributes, but in the end he chose the mid-grade Tier 1 Qiankun Ring.

Instantly, the black ring transformed into a gold ring.

Lu Ze put on the Qiankun Ring, a satisfied smile on his face. Then he checked the attribute panel and found that there was a new secondary profession column, which included a self-created weapon crafting technique (beginner level 15%).

well!

Does that mean that alchemy and magic can also be learned in this way?

Although the spells and skills I created were terrible, I could still enhance them by consuming Source Points!

Lu Ze felt like he had gained a new perspective. He no longer needed to exchange spells with the Demon Suppression Guard. As long as he had Source Points, he could enhance anything he wanted!

Immediately, he donned the Blazing Sun Armor and continued his hunt deep into the wilderness, a perfect opportunity to familiarize himself with the performance of the Azure Cloud Sword, a top-grade flying sword, and to understand his true strength!

Although the chances of encountering monsters in the depths of the wilderness have greatly increased, Lu Ze's strength is now vastly different from what it used to be!

……

At dusk, the setting sun was like blood.

Deep in the wilderness, in a forest.

Lu Ze, clad in the Blazing Sun Armor and wielding the Azure Cloud Sword, gazed at a giant red-haired tiger beneath a hundred-meter-tall tree in the distance.

This tiger is far larger than the top-tier ferocious beast Black Fiend Tiger, comparable to an armored rhinoceros, weighing over 10,000 jin, and exuding a strong demonic aura. It is indeed a demonic beast Crimson Flame Tiger.

Moreover, its grade is mid-level first rank, its aura strength far exceeds that of myself, and its strength is estimated to have reached the sixth level of the Qi Refining Realm.

Since the two were a hundred meters apart, the Crimson Tiger, still fast asleep, did not sense Lu Ze's presence.

With a thought, Lu Ze channeled his spiritual power and consciousness into the Azure Cloud Sword, which suddenly split into six azure sword lights. Together with the sword lights formed from his flying sword, they slashed towards the Crimson Flame Tiger from all directions.

The Azure Cloud Sword Technique is characterized by speed; it can cover a hundred meters in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, the Crimson Flame Tiger sensed the danger and suddenly opened its eyes. A layer of crimson demonic power about a foot thick appeared on its body, making it look like a huge ball of flame. It pounced towards the main body of the Azure Cloud Sword and slapped with its claw, but the azure sword light nimbly dodged it.

Immediately, the six split sword lights struck the Crimson Flame Tiger's main body, but they were all blocked by the thick crimson demonic power and failed to cause any damage.

Upon seeing this, Lu Ze immediately activated the Thousand Illusion Mask, casting an illusion that enveloped the Crimson Flame Tiger, filling its eyes with cyan sword light.

The Crimson Tiger let out a deafening roar and broke free from the illusion almost instantly.

However, the azure sword light transformed from the Azure Cloud Sword had already pierced the crimson tiger's brain at lightning speed, instantly killing it.

"The host has killed the first-tier mid-level monster Crimson Flame and gained 600 Source Points."

Lu Ze's eyes widened, a look of surprise appearing in them. The Source Points gained from slaying demonic beasts were indeed far superior to those gained from grinding low-level monsters!
