Chapter 1044
Relic Harvest: Banana Leaf Fan, Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda
After Zhang Jie finished speaking, Chu Xuan asked, "Where's the lamp wick? How do we get it?"
Zhang Jie said with a smile, "It can be done by condensing the spirit, but it will take some time."
"After all, the Lotus Lantern itself was formed from a spark, so the wick is not a problem."
Chu Xuan nodded without saying anything more, and instead looked down at himself again.
At this moment, the other members of the Zhongzhou team licked their slightly dry lips.
Chu Xuan picked up one of the jade fans to examine it before speaking:
"In mythology, the banana leaf fan is divided into two fans, yin and yang. The yang fan is in the hands of Laozi, and it can fan out the six Ding divine fires."
"The effect of the yin fan is the opposite: one fan extinguishes the fire, two fans generate wind, and three fans bring rain."
"This round..."
As Chu Xuan spoke, he suddenly took out an energy stone.
I have no idea how this person did it.
Everyone saw the jade fan, originally the size of an arm, begin to grow larger as energy flowed through it.
In the end, it grew to be as tall as a person.
Chu Xuan frowned after holding it in his hand, but still gently fanned it three times in the distance.
After three strikes, the energy stone in Chu Xuan's hand instantly turned into dust.
And then a silent downpour began out of nowhere.
Li Xiao, standing next to Chu Xuan, pinched his brow as he watched the sudden rain in the God Space.
"This is truly a myth coming to life!"
Chu Xuan continued:
"The energy consumption efficiency is too poor. It's a pity it's not a Yang Fan, otherwise at least we could have used the Six Ding Divine Fire to study it."
So, does anyone want it?
Chu Xuan looked up at the jade fan in his hand, which had shrunk again, and asked the crowd.
Li Xiao and the others shook their heads repeatedly.
They knew the myths and legends, and were naturally familiar with the famous Banana Leaf Fan.
The gossip surrounding figures like the Bull Demon King and the Jade-Faced Princess was even more widespread.
Whether it's true history or unofficial history, it doesn't prevent them from understanding the abilities of this banana leaf fan.
After all, this is a being capable of destroying the Flaming Mountain; it's impossible for it not to be powerful.
However, opinions on its effectiveness vary.
Just when Li Xiao and his group thought no one wanted this thing.
Zero, who had been silent all along, suddenly raised his hand.
Then, looking at Chu Xuan, he asked, "This kind of cultivation-type magic weapon should require spiritual power or true essence to use. If I want to use it, then..."
Before Lingdian could finish speaking, Chu Xuan interrupted him, saying:
"Don't worry, I've already made a small energy converter. As long as you have an energy stone, a spark core, or even electricity, you can use these magical artifacts."
Lingdian nodded after hearing this.
"If that's the case, then I want this banana leaf fan."
Chu Xuan didn't ask why, and just handed it over.
Then this time, what I picked up was a delicate little tower with only seven layers that looked like it was made of copper.
The seven-story pagoda is just the right size, perfect for holding in one hand.
Chu Xuan resorted to the same old trick.
After consuming another energy stone.
As it grew larger, the copper sheen on the tower began to peel away little by little.
When it reached a distance of more than ten meters.
A golden pagoda with a restrained, seven-colored glow appeared before everyone.
The interior decorations on each of the seven floors are different.
The lower three floors are filled with lifelike Buddha statues that seem to be real people.
The three layers of Buddha's light spread throughout, layer upon layer, making it as solid as a rock.
On the last level, the sound of Zen music emanates, and illusory lotus flowers materialize out of thin air, as if the Buddha is sitting in them, preaching a sutra.
Saito immediately blurted out the name of the dot at the top of the tower as soon as he saw it clearly.
"Is this a Buddha relic?"
Upon hearing Saito Hajime's words, Chen Zilong clapped his hands in sudden realization and exclaimed:
"I understand. So, this is the Seven-Jeweled Pagoda of Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King???"
Chu Xuan nodded at Chen Zilong, who had spoken up:
"That should be correct. In mythology, the Seven Treasures Pagoda was originally called the Exquisite Relic Golden Pagoda, which was originally a Buddhist treasure. Later, it was given to Nezha's father by the immortals of the Chan Sect to suppress Nezha."
"Some say that this pagoda is the pagoda held by Vaishravana, the Northern Heavenly King in Buddhism."
"But no matter which one it is, Saito Hajime, this Seven Treasures Pagoda is the most suitable for you."
Chu Xuan broke the energy stone, and the pagoda, having not recognized a master, immediately shrank back to its original size.
Seeing the golden pagoda floating towards him, Saito, who had been silent until now, excitedly took it.
A drop of blood flew out from the tip of his tongue without hesitation.
As the blood merged, a phantom swastika emerged from the tower and entered Saito's brow.
The seven-colored golden pagoda soared into the air and hovered in front of him before coming to a stop.
Perhaps the magic weapon possessed a spirit, because Saito held up the pagoda with one hand.
The morning bell and evening drum, imbued with the sounds of Zen, suddenly resounded.
Then, a beam of Buddhist light shot out from the pagoda and enveloped Saito Hajime.
Saito Kazuya sensed something and immediately sat cross-legged, beginning to chant Buddhist scriptures.
The already radiant Seven Treasures Pagoda appears even more divine.
Buddhist characters shone through the light and coalesced in the main divine space.
This continued for about fifteen minutes.
Without warning, the Seven Treasures Pagoda transformed into a beam of light and vanished from Saito Hajime's chest.
Seeing that this person was still sitting there, Li Xiao guessed that this person wouldn't be able to stop anytime soon.
He spoke up, "Moss, project the information of the Seven Treasures Pagoda from the main god."
Everyone looked at the light screen.
[Cultivation-related item: Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, a Buddhist treasure, worth two A-level side quests and 30000 reward points.]
Effect 1: Protected by Buddha's light, one is immune to all evil influences.
Effect Two: The tower's Buddhist chants and light can dispel malevolent energy and subdue murderous intent.
Effect 3: It can be made to fit any size and can ward off evil spirits.
Compared to the others, this introduction is very straightforward, just the literal meaning.
It could even be said to be the item with the fewest descriptions among double A-grade items.
Having fewer abilities also symbolizes greater strength.
Defensive capabilities are a given.
Therefore, everyone felt that the tower's greatest function was mainly its second effect.
"It's not an S-rank side quest?"
"This is the exquisite pagoda of the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King!"
Faced with Cheng Xiao's question, Li Xiao explained, "The items in the S-level side quests should at least be innate spiritual treasures."
"Although the exquisite pagoda of Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, is widely known, the fact that it was given away by Buddhism without compensation already shows that it is not a rare treasure."
"So even if it's precious, it's definitely not among the top-tier ones."
Zhu Wen and the others nodded.
But before the discussion could even begin, Chu Xuan interrupted them.
After all, the important business wasn't over yet.
Following the same method, Chu Xuan confirmed the next three.
These are the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover (a double A-level side quest item), the Immortal Binding Rope (a double A-level item), and the Golden Dragon Scissors (a double A-level side quest item).
It was at this moment that everyone realized that, apart from the Lotus Lantern, the other people's magical treasures all seemed to be related to the Investiture of the Gods war.
The remaining five-colored stones are Nuwa stones, the last one left over from Nuwa's patching up of the sky.
At this point, Li Xiao only had five magical treasures left from the third level. And these five treasures did not react to Chu Xuan's method at all.
They were a small bronze bell and a small green bottle about the size of a palm.
A jade bottle, a garment covered with layers of scales, and a mirror.
Chen Zilong rubbed his chin.
"Based on the level of those magical treasures we just saw, even if we guess too high, we can still get a clue about these five."
"The Lotus Lantern is a supreme innate treasure, so this might be the Eastern Emperor Bell, this is the Jade Purification Vase in Guanyin's hand, and this mirror, is it the Kongtong Mirror?"
"Why are you looking at me? The Lotus Lantern is already an S-rank item, so I don't think the remaining five will be too bad."
Li Xiao was both amused and exasperated by these words, but still nodded in agreement.
"Then what about this little green bottle and the scale armor clothes?"
It was at this moment that Zhu Wen suddenly spoke up.
"You can search for 'Ten Thousand Scales Armor,' a double A-level defensive item. I feel like this might be the outfit."
Li Xiao was stunned for a moment, then closed his eyes, and then suddenly realized why the magic weapon had no reaction to Chu Xuan's attempt.
[Cultivation Legend Item: Thousand-Scale Armor]
The Dragon Clan's heirloom is woven from the hardest scale from each member of the Dragon Clan.
It has extremely strong defensive capabilities.
Any attacks received will be rendered intangible by the trembling of the dragon scales, making it indestructible.
Two side quests of A-grade value, 30000 reward points.
Note: Only usable by Dragons.
Chen Zilong opened his eyes and murmured, "Such severe restrictions? Only dragons can use it?"
Li Xiao shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be that strict. I think as long as the bloodline is related to dragons, it should be fine."
"But the problem is, we don't have any like that among us."
Everyone looked at each other, and in the end, they were all at a loss.
These are all bloodlines that experienced individuals already possess. Although a magic weapon worth double A-grade is very tempting, it is not enough for them to risk mutation and exchange for other bloodlines.
Not to mention the aggressive bloodline of dragons.
Li Xiao finally looked down at himself: "And the remaining four..."
Chu Xuan explained that these four magic weapons were different from the previous ones and could not be activated and used in a short time.
The most obvious difference is that the number of runes on the top is significantly greater than on the others.
It's even comparable to the one on the Demon Refining Pot.
This indirectly proves Chen Zilong's words, and these are likely innate spiritual treasures with S-level side quest value.
Finally, besides these four, there's also the Nuwa Stone.
The Thousand-Scale Armor is unusable among this batch of magical treasures.
Among them, the Lotus Lantern is Zhang Jie, the Seven Treasures Pagoda is Saito Hajime, the Banana Leaf Fan is Ling Dian, and the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover is given to Zhu Wen, who is the support.
Cheng Xiao, who needed a weapon, took the Golden Dragon Scissors.
After Li Xiao and Zhao Yingkong refused to accept the Immortal Binding Rope, Chu Xuan put it away.
As for the three things on Chen Zilong, there's no need to elaborate.
You could say this person is a true winner in life.
And so, filled with excitement and exhilaration, they returned to their respective rooms.
One day later.
Sitting beneath the main god, Li Xiao gazed longingly at Chu Xuan's room.
"Chen Zilong, Saito Hajime, and Brother Jie are all in their rooms getting used to the new magic weapon."
"So why aren't you guys using it?"
Looking at Li Xiaocheng, Cheng Xiao shrugged and said, "We don't have spiritual power or true essence."
Zhu Wen nodded in agreement: "We can only activate it by using Chu Xuan's device with the help of energy stones."
"But Zilong and the others have recognized a master, so they need to cultivate and adapt on their own."
Cheng Xiao said helplessly, "For us, we just need to replace the energy stones quickly enough."
Zero suddenly spoke up: "Chu Xuan said he could decipher those cultivation manuals in a day. Is that really possible?"
Just as he finished speaking at midnight, Chu Xuan's door was pushed open in response.
She came out with her overgrown, fluffy hair.
At this moment, this person's clothes were covered in filth and some strange sticky substance.
There were even traces of explosion residue on the cuffs.
Of course, the most obvious thing is that half of this person's cheek has turned black.
It's as if this person witnessed an explosion up close.
Seeing Chu Xuan's haggard appearance, as if he hadn't slept for several days, Li Xiao knew without asking that this person had probably spent reward points to exchange for time again.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have taken a day to achieve this.
Chu Xuan didn't look at Li Xiao and the others as he walked out of the room; instead, he immediately closed the door.
Just as everyone was wondering, a strange noise came from the closed door.
Chu Xuan paused for a few seconds before opening the door again to enter.
Seeing this, Li Xiao quickly asked:
"Wait, Chu Xuan, how are those cultivation manuals?"
"Do you have any advanced cultivation techniques for me and Chen Zilong?"
Chu Xuan stopped and looked at the crowd.
"If you want to know, then come in with me."
Li Xiao looked surprised: "Wait, we can go in, but is it safe inside?"
You didn't look like you were out for a walk just now.
Chu Xuan said indifferently, "Don't worry, the venue has been reset, and with your current reaction speed, you're more than capable of running out."
Upon hearing this, the group exchanged glances before following Chu Xuan inside.
Compared to the last time, Chu Xuan's room has changed again.
Look around.
The area spans several thousand square meters, with a floor height of nearly thirty meters.
This huge space was filled with all sorts of equipment.
If they were all just equipment, that would be fine, but some things are like altars, and some even have the blood of certain creatures offered on them.
There was also a device that was clearly a formation, but it contained various animal carcasses and internal organs.
The middle was also covered with various runes drawn in blood, making it look like a place where an evil god's ritual was being held.
If they didn't know this was the Main God Space, they would never have wanted to come in.
Zhu Wen instinctively moved closer to Zhao Yingkong.
Cheng Xiao even jumped onto Zero Point.
They hadn't walked more than a few steps.
Then everyone saw the four magical treasures that had not been cracked yesterday.
They are now suspended in four huge, complex instruments.
These things are all enveloped by a tangible, transparent energy.
Chu Xuan clearly had no interest in explaining these things and quickly walked past them.
They led Li Xiao and the others to a place where a bunch of chips and diamond pillars were placed.
"These carriers that record cultivation classics can be said to be a kind of existence that transcends technology."
"Or rather, it is a completely different kind of storage technology, an extremely sophisticated technology that has become its own system."
As Chu Xuan spoke, his entire demeanor changed, and then he placed one hand on the screen in front of him.
The existence that was originally composed of interwoven light and shadow began to change rapidly with Chu Xuan's intervention.
"These diamond pillars are divided into black and white, which correspond to two different types of abilities."
“You can see it as the difference between immortals and demons, one positive and one negative, one yin and one yang, either way is fine.”
"The white diamond pillars that Li Xiao took out are essentially spiral-shaped code carriers composed of true essence, spiritual power, or mental power." (End of Chapter)
