Chapter 41 Small Fire Buns
Qiu Ling had too many things she wanted to refine, but she had to do it step by step.In the Cultivation World, she strived for perfection in everything she made, after all, items used by Mahayana stage Cultivators couldn't be too casual, and the Cultivation World was far more dangerous than the Interstellar.After her Rebirth, putting aside the technological civilization of the Interstellar, simply in terms of cultivation and equipment, she had undergone a dimension reduction.Originally, she was required to reach an A+++ level, but now, reaching a B level was enough for her to be revered.Qiu Ling scoured through the good things in Wu Yan and Yan Zhao's storage rings.
Now, her Divine Sense delved into her own storage ring, sifting through various Materials, and she already had a refining plan!
For Cultivators, time was but a flick of a finger.
When they entered seclusion to Cultivate or refine items, they immersed themselves completely, and time flew by.Qiu Ling was impatient with the slow progress that felt like treading water, despite coming to the workshop every day.She simply used crystal stones to set up a Time Formation Array for herself, adjusting the time difference between inside and outside the room to thirty times!
Qiu Ling took a marrow-washing and meridian-cleansing pill.
After the two-hour medicinal effect passed, she performed a Dust Clearing Art, brushing away the dirt and toxins that had again been expelled from her skin.She first used various high-quality Spirit Medicine combinations to refine a batch of bigu pills rich in Spiritual Qi.
One bigu pill could keep her from feeling hungry for ten days without eating.Popping a bigu pill into her mouth, Qiu Ling then refined a batch of one hundred daggers that could cut through iron like mud.
Each, with its leather sheath, remained simple and unadorned, without any striking features.She kept one dagger, put the rest into her storage ring, then took out the green smoke stone.
She effortlessly cut ten large pieces, each about a finger's thickness, and then horizontally and vertically cut each piece into one-cubic-centimeter squares, totaling over eleven hundred pieces!
Qiu Ling selected other auxiliary Materials from her space.
After a slight treatment, she sequentially put them and the green smoke stone into the Pill Furnace.Refining about a hundred storage rings simultaneously required an extremely powerful Mental Energy from a Pill Refining Contract Master, precise control at every step, and each ring's refining had to be staggered slightly, giving her enough time to individually imprint the magical incantations.For two full hours, Qiu Ling's hands never stopped.
In between, she consumed five qi gathering pills and five qingyuan pills (clear origin pills) to replenish her rapidly depleted Spiritual Qi and Mental Energy!
The Earth Fire Spirit busied itself secretly, following Qiu Ling's intentional guidance, and the two, one person and one spirit, cooperated very well.After extinguishing the fire, Qiu Ling took out the Pill Furnace.
She had modified this Pill Furnace so it could both refine Medicinal Pills and serve as a furnace to evenly introduce open flames for Artifact Refining, but this required the Artifact Refiner's powerful Mental Energy control.Opening the furnace, she saw a batch of white, lustrous bone rings (storage items).
Each ring was inlaid with a round, smoky-green gem, and adorned with a circle of tiny diamonds.Qiu Ling exhaled slightly, picked up a bone rings (storage items), and probed it with her Divine Sense.The space within the storage ring was one hundred square meters, five meters high, with a twenty-fold time flow, and it could recognize its owner and become invisible.
Besides that, each of the tiny diamonds was a five-cubic-meter storage space, three on each side!
She satisfactorily put away the bone rings (storage items), popped two Medicinal Pills into her mouth, and began to Cultivate in meditation.Once her Spiritual Qi and Mental Energy had recovered, she began refining the second batch of rings.
.. The Materials and appearance of the eleven batches of rings were not entirely identical, and even the rings within each batch varied slightly.
However, in all these storage rings, she had incorporated a Formation.
Once a ring recognized an owner, it could not be changed again.
In other words, if the person lived, the ring lived; if the person died, the ring was destroyed!
This could fundamentally prevent many malicious acts of killing for treasure and also prevent Warriors from being sweet-talked by their wives into foolishly giving away their rings.Next, Qiu Ling began refining Medicinal Pills.
.. Wu Yan and Yan Zhao had stored a considerable amount of good things, and even with Qiu Ling's Time Formation Array, only a very small portion was consumed.Twenty days flew by.
Qiu Ling alternately refined many Medicinal Pills and Spiritual Artifacts, interspersed with meditation and Cultivation.
As a result, her cultivation had risen to the eighth level of the Qi Refinement Stage through the repeated depletion and replenishment of her Spiritual Qi.Qiu Ling closed the Earth Fire, and the Earth Fire Spirit, which had been excited for a long time, was a bit stunned.
Only when the Earth Fire was completely shut off did it react and swiftly flash inside with a whoosh.Next, Qiu Ling took out a Talisman brush made of purple spirit bamboo and black-horned spirit goat hair, spirit cinnabar made from Spirit Beast blood, beast hide, or beast bones, and Talisman paper, and began to draw Talismans.There were many grades of Talismans: spirit Talismans with single-use functions, magic Talismans with combined functions, Talismans that could be installed with crystal stones for repeated and directional use, and above those were Dao Talismans, half-immortal Talismans, etc.
Each grade also had smaller sub-grades and qualities.Qiu Ling deliberated for a long time but still decided to hide her true abilities for now, only drawing spirit Talismans!
Her brows relaxed, and she began to dip the Talisman brush in spirit cinnabar, swiftly drawing on the Talisman paper.
Her hand, holding the brush, moved with such impatience, like a child painting, that it left afterimages.The Talisman script was profound and complex.
As she put her brush to paper, the surrounding Spiritual Qi rapidly gathered at the brush tip through the Talisman brush, then flowed onto the Talisman paper with the spirit cinnabar.
The faint light points seemed like a rapidly flowing stream, connecting from beginning to end in just five or six seconds, and the entire Talisman flashed with light before falling silent.Qiu Ling's lips curved into a smile.As a Mahayana Old Ancestor, she hadn't drawn such low-grade Talismans in over a thousand eight hundred years.
It was like a PhD students in the Interstellar suddenly being asked to write Pinyin?
The Spiritual Qi and Mental Energy she replenished by circulating the Chaos Art exceeded the consumption of drawing spirit Talismans.The Talismans stacked up, each type she drew without pause, with stable output, for five hours, resulting in three thousand Talismans!
After refining more than a dozen types of Talismans, Qiu Ling felt the temperature in the room getting higher and higher.
Clearly, after spending more than twenty days with the Earth Fire Spirit, the little guy couldn't hold it in after a few days of not seeing her.Only then did she put her things into her space, preparing to refine some fun items.Reopening the Earth Fire, the Earth Fire Spirit angrily shot out.
This time, the little guy was not afraid or shy at all.
Its fire shot up half a meter through the glass, expressing its displeasure!
Qiu Ling pursed her lips and tapped it on the glass.The Earth Fire Spirit's flames flickered in fright, but it also realized there was something between them.
It continued to arrogantly spew fire, and its flickering flames made Qiu Ling feel like it was swearing quite harshly.
.. "Little Fire Bun, do you want to go out with big sister and roam the Jianghu?
"The Earth Fire Spirit flickered: Don't bully me for being inexperienced.
I hear gossip all day here, so how could I not know what 'country bumpkin' means?
Do you think by changing 'bumpkin' to 'fire', This Fire Spirit wouldn't know you're insulting me?
"This mountain is no longer big enough for you to mess around.
You've already become a Spirit, so why hide in the rocky mountains like a thief instead of going out and having fun?
Aren't you letting down your unique luck in becoming a Spirit?
I see you quite like humans. You wouldn't want to burn down this market because of your own impulsive actions, would you? "
