Chapter 1380: Chapter 1376: Refine

It’s precisely because I know that I hesitate.

Zhang Ji Yuan laughed, ”Unique technique? Did you manage to acquire this technique, Junior Brother?”

Ning Dongge glanced at him.

Zhang Ji Yuan chuckled, ”Based on what I know of Junior Brother, he wouldn’t have taken the flower without the technique, right?”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and nodded.

”That’s indeed the case,” Ning Dongge laughed and shook his head, ”Activating it is dangerous, isn’t it?”

Even Junior Brother Zhang didn’t see through it.

Though he’s the youngest, Junior Brother’s cultivation is the strongest, and he acts the most steady.

”It’s quite troublesome,” Chu Zhiyuan nodded, ”Its last owner is already dead.”

”Was it killed by it?”

”Yes, once it’s activated, its power doesn’t differentiate between friend and foe.”

”Then what’s the use? Is it for suicide?” Zhang Ji Yuan asked.

No matter how miraculous, anything that can kill you shouldn’t be kept nearby.

Better to die fighting than at its hands.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head with a smile, ”It not only can kill the owner but also a great deal of people, a broad sweep.”

Zhang Ji Yuan laughed, ”Trading oneself for a group of enemies?”

”Exactly,” Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

”Then forget about it, our sect has few people; there’s no need for such actions,” Zhang Ji Yuan said.

”That’s true,” Ning Dongge added, ”Junior Brother, if it’s really that risky, don’t push yourself.”

Chu Zhiyuan stared at the White Jade Flower, speaking slowly, ”Senior Brother Ning, Brother Zhang, I want to try.”

”Have you truly thought it through?” Ning Dongge asked.

Zhang Ji Yuan said, ”Junior Brother, there’s no need for it.”

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

He wanted to advance further, to become a Spirit Venerable soon and erase the deep-seated insecurities.

Step-by-step cultivation was too slow; given the chance to accelerate, he naturally wanted to.

His eyes became hollow.

After a moment, his eyes returned to normal, a smile on his face.

”Senior Brothers, I’m starting now. Please leave the hall first.”

”We’ll act as your protectors,” Ning Dongge said.

Zhang Ji Yuan nodded.

Chu Zhiyuan replied, ”If something really happens, even you two can’t save me.”

Zhang Ji Yuan said grumpily, ”If something does happen, at least we can collect your corpse in time!”

”Junior Brother Zhang!” Ning Dongge glared at him, ”Don’t say such ominous things!”

Zhang Ji Yuan scoffed, ”Instead of stopping me from saying ominous words, stop Junior Brother from doing ominous things.”

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled and said no more, slowly pressing on the sides of the Purple Lacquer Box.

To refine the Divine Flower, one must start with the Purple Lacquer Box, not directly with the flower itself.

If unaware of this secret, touching the Divine Flower with True Yuan leads to counterattack from Spirit Venerable power.

Those who dare to seize the Divine Flower often stumble at this initial step.

Once dead, no one restrains it, so the flower naturally returns to the Flower God Sect’s valley.

The more crucial secret is, even if not dead, failing to refine returns the flower to the Flower God Sect’s previous owner location.

Either lose it, or refine it.

If not refining, why seize it?

He placed both palms on the sides of the Purple Lacquer Box, operating True Yuan along a special route within his body.

The inside of the Purple Lacquer Box emitted strands of gold thread, gradually surfacing.

More and more gold threads appeared, interweaving.

These gold threads slowly rose from the box’s surface, floating in the air.

Gradually, the interweaving threads wrapped around the box, forming a Golden Cocoon slowly covering it.

Chu Zhiyuan’s face was solemn, faintly pale.

Ning Dongge and Zhang Ji Yuan frowned.

They could tell Chu Zhiyuan was greatly consumed, not just True Yuan but also his spiritual power.

Zhang Ji Yuan took out a Jade Bottle from his sleeve, pouring out a Spirit Pill that was precisely the Moon Spirit Pill.

He picked up a Moon Spirit Pill, gesturing before Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan gently shook his head.

It was not yet time to consume the Moon Spirit Pill; pure spiritual power was needed.

Zhang Ji Yuan placed the Moon Spirit Pill aside, ready to hand it to him at any moment.

Ning Dongge stood tense, his eyes fixed on him.

Zhang Ji Yuan curiously watched the Purple Lacquer Box, seeing it encased in the Golden Cocoon.

The Cocoon slowly penetrated, dulling its brilliance bit by bit.

He judged that once the Cocoon fully retreated into the box, it’d be successful.

But the Cocoon fully entered the box, transforming the Purple Lacquer Box into a Golden Box, yet Chu Zhiyuan didn’t cease.

He continued pressing the sides of the Golden Box, operating, his face growing paler.

White steam rose from his head, condensing into a white cloud.

The cloud gradually thickened and grew, expanding from palm-sized to two palm sizes, then to the size of a basin.

White clouds grew larger and thicker, his face becoming even paler.

Ning Dongge and Zhang Ji Yuan both furrowed their brows, somewhat worried.

The consumption is too great, it seems like a bottomless abyss.

Looking again at the flower in the box, it showed no signs of change, not a hint of ending.

Zhang Ji Yuan picked up another Moon Spirit Pill and waved it in front of Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

Zhang Ji Yuan sighed and put it back into the bottle, staring at the box.

The color of the Golden Box slowly faded.

As the gold grew lighter, it was transforming into a White Jade Box.

Ning Dongge and Zhang Ji Yuan nodded in realization.

So that’s it.

This Purple Lacquer Box completely transforms into a White Jade Box, then it’s a success!

It seems hope is right before our eyes.

But as it became a White Jade Box, Chu Zhiyuan was still operating.

His face grew even paler, his breathing became rapid.

Ning Dongge and Zhang Ji Yuan furrowed their brows, looking at Chu Zhiyuan worriedly.

Zhang Ji Yuan communicated quietly: ”Senior Brother, what do we do?”

”Let’s wait and see.” Ning Dongge transmitted.

Zhang Ji Yuan said, ”If we wait longer, in case something goes wrong, it might be too late!”

”I trust our junior brother.” Ning Dongge said.

”I believe in our junior brother too, but there’s always unexpected mishaps.” Zhang Ji Yuan said.

Ning Dongge glared at him, annoyed by his words of bad omen.

Zhang Ji Yuan lowered his voice, communicating quietly, ”Otherwise, bring his Creation Pill Jade Liquid?”

Ning Dongge pondered.

Zhang Ji Yuan said, ”Junior brother simply cannot have accidents.”

”Hmm, bring it.” Ning Dongge said slowly.

Zhang Ji Yuan turned and walked away, trying to keep his steps light.

Heaven-Reaching Order just lit up, as soon as a Light Gate appeared on the hall wall, Chu Zhiyuan suddenly spoke: ”Senior Brother Ning, Brother Zhang, you both go out for a bit.”

His voice trembled.

”Junior brother...” Zhang Ji Yuan turned his head, worriedly asking.

Chu Zhiyuan stared at the White Jade Flower in the box, said gravely: ”Quick!”

”Junior brother, be careful!” Ning Dongge pulled Zhang Ji Yuan, the two of them left through the Light Gate.

”Bam!”

Just as they stepped out of the hall, they heard a dull sound echoing inside.

Immediately, the hall shook violently.

Zhang Ji Yuan’s eyes widened and was about to turn back, but was pulled by Ning Dongge.

”That was quite a blast!”

”Our junior brother can’t withstand it, neither can we, hurry up and get the Creation Jade Liquid!”

”Yes, yes, Creation Jade Liquid!” Zhang Ji Yuan turned and shot out.

A while later, he appeared holding a Jade Gourd.

The Jade Gourd was just palm-sized, exquisitely crafted, and faintly illuminating.

Inside seemed like a clear spring was stirring.

Zhang Ji Yuan carefully held it, looked towards the hall, speaking in a low voice: ”No sounds anymore?”

”Just that one just now.”

”No more sounds? Does it mean junior brother is already...?”

Ning Dongge said: ”Let’s go and check.”

In his sleeve, the Heaven-Reaching Order lit, and a Light Gate appeared on the hall wall.

As soon as the two stepped in, they immediately flew backward.

The Jade Gourd followed, flying into the air.

Zhang Ji Yuan’s eyes turned red in urgency, yelling in the air: ”Ah, Creation Jade Liquid!”

The Jade Gourd rotated mid-air, suddenly the rotation stopped, and it floated motionlessly in the air.

The two also slowed down in the air, supported by an invisible force, slowly descending.

Zhang Ji Yuan seeing the Jade Gourd unharmed, exhaled in relief, overly joyous: ”Junior brother succeeded?”

Chu Zhiyuan steadily walked out of the hall, his green robe fluttering, radiant and lively, sweeping away the previous pallid weakness, clasped his fist and smiled: ”Dear brothers, I succeeded.”

”Haha...” Zhang Ji Yuan laughed: ”Wonderful, congratulations!”

The Jade Gourd floated before Chu Zhiyuan, he reached out to hold it, uncorked it, and peered inside.

Inside the gourd was milk-like liquid, exuding a faint fragrance.

”This is the Creation Jade Liquid?”

”Indeed, as long as there’s a breath, it can be salvaged.” Zhang Ji Yuan laughed: ”Grandmaster Duan brought it just a few days ago.”

”What a treasure!” Chu Zhiyuan praised.

Ning Dongge said: ”Unfortunately, only the Jade Gourd can preserve it, ordinary vessels can’t hold it, and once out of the gourd, it quickly loses effectiveness.”

Zhang Ji Yuan laughingly said: ”If truly injured, rush back immediately, drink it and you’ll survive, junior brother with your Qinggong, having this is like having extra lives!”
