Chapter 32: The Secret of the Treasure Basin

  A flash of yellow light, a palm-sized square piece of yellow paper floated in front of Xia Chen.

  On both sides of the square yellow paper, a flame shape is drawn. Although it's just painted flames, it looks like they're really burning.

  "This is the simplest Blazing Fire Talisman, even a postnatal cultivator can activate it with true energy, but it can only be used once, so try not to use it unless it's crucial, this is for you to save your life."

  The mysterious woman then passed on a divine thought, containing the method of using the fierce fire talisman.

  Xia Chen reached out and took it, this was still his first time coming into contact with a real "treasured artifact", his heart couldn't help but be extremely excited.

  The Lihuo Fu Talisman was just a yellow paper, but holding it in his hand felt quite heavy. Xia Chen could even faintly sense the terrifying power hidden within the flame-shaped pattern.

  Even among the talismans, the fierce fire talisman is of the lowest grade and can only be considered a pseudo-treasured artifact. However, for postnatal cultivators, this is already an extremely luxurious defensive weapon.

  "My alchemy skills have been mostly passed on to you in recent days, but not completely. I will give you a complete supplement. With your current cultivation level, some profound places are still difficult to understand, but there is no rush, wait until you cultivate later and slowly realize it. In addition, I will pass on a set of exercises to you, this set of exercises is actually the exercise method of the Divine Realm, you can't really master it, but as long as you slightly grasp some divine rhyme, among the same level of postnatal disciples, you can be invincible."

  The mysterious woman said, and then transmitted several divine thoughts in a row.

  These few divine thoughts contain a large amount of information, Xia Chen can't digest and understand it at all, he can only temporarily store it in his mind. However, even if it's just a glimpse, he can feel the precious weight of this information.

  In the blink of an eye, the mysterious woman gave him three heavy gifts. Each gift would make everyone in the Zhengyuan Sect jealous to the point of madness if it appeared there.

  "Senior!" Xia Chen calmed down, "Are you leaving here now? Can't you stay a little longer..."

  He felt that the mysterious woman was about to leave, and his heart suddenly felt extremely reluctant. Deep down, he secretly hoped that the mysterious woman could always guide him like this forever.

  The mysterious woman remained silent, apparently with a complex mind as well.

  After a long while, she slowly said: "Xia Chen, after I refine the Pure Yang Treasure Pill, I will be going into seclusion and leaving this place soon. The Zhengxuan Sect is just a small stopover for me on my journey. Originally, I only wanted to make a deal with you and then we would owe each other nothing. However, we have gotten along quite well and like you very much. If in the future you can't manage in the Zhengxuan Sect, you can bring this jade pendant to the Great Tang Dynasty to find me."

  As he spoke, a flash of light appeared, and a jade pendant instantly materialized, flying towards Xia Chen.

  Xia Chen took it, and saw that the jade pendant was engraved with great precision. On the front, a dragon and phoenix were carved in a Tang-style font, with a red cherry blossom tied above, emitting a faint fragrance that seemed to be there but not quite.

  "Senior, may I have a glimpse of your true appearance!" Xia Chen said suddenly, grasping the jade pendant.

  "Hehe, Xia Chen..." The mysterious woman smiled, her smile carrying an irresistible charm.

  "Fate will bring us together, Xia Chen. You are a rare talent I have never seen before. Perhaps one day, I'll hear your name again. Of course, you're still too weak now. Cultivate well! If you can cultivate to the Seventh Heaven of Spiritual Communion, you'll know who I am. This Moonfall Cauldron, I'm giving it to you as a keepsake. Farewell!"

  She deeply spat out the last two words and then disappeared without a trace.

  "Senior! Senior, I don't even know your name!" Xia Chen shouted several times, but there was no response. The mysterious woman seemed to have walked away instantly.

  Xia Chen let out a sigh, put away the Moonfall Tripod Furnace, and walked out of the cave, feeling a little lost for a while.

  He devoted himself to cultivation, his heart as firm as a rock, but at this moment, when parting with the mysterious woman, Xia Chen felt a sense of loss in his heart, as if something precious had disappeared.

  Walking out of the cave, it was already sunset, and Xia Chen's long shadow stretched behind him, making him look lonely and desolate.

  Behind Xia Chen's back, a hundred feet above the empty air, a stunningly beautiful figure was silently watching him.

  Xia Chen, I look forward to seeing how far you will grow. I have a premonition that we will meet again. I hope we are destined... The mysterious woman muttered to herself.

  Xia Chen returned to the Medicine Garden and sat silently for a while before his mental state calmed down to the point where it was as still as stagnant water.

  Do you have the qualification to know who I am only after cultivating the Sevenfold Divine Ability? Xia Chen looked at the jade pendant in his hand, and suddenly a surge of heroic spirit rose up in his heart. I, Xia Chen, will definitely be able to do it.

  He put away the jade pendant, and Xia Chen took out the Pure Yang Treasure Pill and the Fierce Fire Talisman. A smug smile involuntarily appeared on his face. As long as he had the Gathering Treasure Basin, he could infinitely replicate treasures. Whoever didn't please him would be met with a large stack of Fierce Fire Talismans thrown at them. From then on, wouldn't he be able to walk sideways?

  If Chao Yuezi Peak throws a hundred blazing fire talismans at the same time, I don't know if it can burn this bastard to death! Xia Chen thought resentfully and first put the Pure Yang Treasure Pill into the Creative Space.

  However, something unexpected happened. After the Chunyang Baodan was put into the artifact space, there was no movement at all for half a day, and the Aggregation Basin's ability to replicate with 100% success failed for the first time.

  Xia Chen's face changed color, he had never encountered such a situation before, could it be that the聚宝盆 had a problem? This was very bad.

  He took out the Pure Yang Treasure Pill and replaced it with several ordinary Yuan Qi Pills. The creation space suddenly rose with a mist, and after a moment, the several Yuan Qi Pills that were put in had multiplied several times.

  This is strange, ordinary yuanqi dan can be copied, but pure yang bao dan cannot be copied... Is it because the pure yang bao dan is too advanced? Even the jibao pen cannot be copied? Xia Chen's eyes showed a puzzled expression.

  After some thought, there is only one reason. If that's the case, then the function of the聚宝盆 (Treasure Basin) is also limited. In the future, when I cultivate to the realm of divine power, I won't be able to use the聚宝盆 to replicate useless things like元气丹 (Original Qi Pills) and煅筋丹 (Refined Tendon Pills). Wouldn't that make the聚宝盆 a mere decoration?

  No, it shouldn't be like this. The聚宝盆 would never be so weak. Xia Chen shook his head. If the聚宝盆 could easily deceive the mysterious woman's divine sense, how could it possibly be a Ji Jie Fa Bao?

  Suddenly, Xia Chen's mind flashed with inspiration, no, it seemed like he had missed something...

  He took out another Yuanqi Dan and put it into the creation space, then silently calculated the time, counted his breaths, and as the mist in the creation space dispersed, the Yuanqi Dan had multiplied several times again.

  So that's how it is...... Xia Chen muttered to himself, a look of realization on his face. He had just calculated the time and found that the duplication speed of the Yuan Qi Dan was much faster than when he was in the Second Heaven.

  It's clear that the creative ability of the聚宝盆 is being upgraded step by step as his cultivation level increases. Originally, things that were copied slowly are now being replicated at an increasingly faster speed as Xia Chen grows stronger.

  Similarly, if it's something that exceeds Xia Chen's current strength by too much, the copying speed will become extremely slow, or even impossible to copy.

  The value of Chunyang Baodan far exceeds Xia Chen's current cultivation level, and it is only natural that the Aggregation Cauldron cannot replicate it.

  Thinking of this, Xia Chen let out a breath of relief. It seems that the聚宝盆 (聚宝盆) is not as heaven-defying as it seems, but rather it's equivalent to relying on oneself.

  The hope of copying the Pure Yang Treasure Pill has been shattered, and it will only be possible when I become a Divine Spirit Cultivator. However, with my current cultivation level, this Flame Talisman can still be activated, so the Treasure Basin should be able to be copied. Xia Chen thought to himself, then put the Flame Talisman back into his storage space.

  His inference this time was correct, the聚宝盆 can indeed replicate the 烈火符箓, but the replication speed is extremely slow, until after several hours, the mist in the 造物 space has not dissipated.

  Xia Chen simply stopped looking and closed his eyes to enter a state of empty clarity, browsing through the information left by the mysterious woman in his mind.

  This information has become a part of his memory and will never be forgotten, although he doesn't understand it now, but as he continues to cultivate and grow stronger, it will eventually be digested and fully comprehended.

  Of course, what interested Xia Chen the most was the mysterious woman's transmission of the Divine Realm Boundary Technique.

  This set of skills is a collection of various techniques, extremely comprehensive, including fist methods, palm methods, leg methods, finger methods, seal methods, flesh and blood methods, light body methods, weapon methods, etc., both offensive and defensive, almost all-encompassing, and mutually complementary.

  If this set of divine art can be fully cultivated, its power is almost unimaginable.

  Even if Xia Chen's current cultivation is extremely weak, he can still feel the profundity and preciousness of this technique, let alone a divine technique.

  If this set of skills were placed in front of a Zhengxuan Sect divine ability cultivator, it's estimated that Han Dongyu and others would fight to the death for it. The mysterious woman actually gave such a precious skill to him, which made Xia Chen feel unbelievable as well.

  After selecting for half a day, Xia Chen chose two skills from among them, one was Thunder Seal and the other was Vajra Body.

  Lei Ting Yin is an aggressive technique, and it also seems to be the easiest to master. After mastering it, the seal method is as powerful as thunder, with extremely strong power, which makes Xia Chen quite fond of it.

  As for the Mahavairocana body, it is a practice of refining the body. If one cultivates to the point of great accomplishment, their physical body can be as hard as a treasure and almost indestructible. However, cultivating the Mahavairocana body also requires some external conditions, which can only be obtained by chance.

  One attacks and one defends, which is also a form of mutual cooperation.

  However, Xia Chen silently comprehended the Thunder Seal Art and the Mahavairocana Buddha Body's techniques, but did not immediately cultivate them.

  He has just entered the Fourth Peak of the Fourfold Realm and still needs to consolidate his realm.

  Han Dongyu asked me to attend the Four Schools Gathering to broaden my horizons. If I don't go, it would be easy to arouse his suspicion. Never mind, tomorrow I'll go and take a look at the disciples of other schools, and expand my vision as well, Xia Chen thought to himself, closing his eyes.
