Chapter Thirty-Nine: Bestowing Cinnabar

  Zhao had the intention to kill in his heart, but his face didn't reveal anything. This could be considered a new skill he had cultivated since "descending" onto the Tianyuan Continent.

  Because Xian originally emphasizes calmness and tranquility, joy and anger are not expressed in color, people like him who are inconsistent inside and out are the most ordinary in the Xian world.

  After the two arrived at Valley Curtain Spring, Zhao Di opened up all his divine senses and wandered around to confirm that there was no one within a radius of ten miles before sitting down with Jian Xier on the rocky edge of the spring.

  To be on the safe side, he also set up a soundproof canopy.

  Seeing Zhao Di being so cautious, Jian Xiang'er couldn't help but widen her curious eyes and thought: "What important matter does Fifth Brother want to tell me, with such a serious expression! Could it be..." As she thought of this, two red clouds floated onto her face.

  Zhao Di didn't notice any of this, he patted the storage bag at his waist and after a flash of white light, there were several boxes in his hand.

  To be exact, it was a wooden box and three jade boxes. Zhao Di handed all these things over to Jian Xiang'er.

  Jian Xiner's face was filled with curiosity as she opened the wooden box. A moment later, her expression changed several times. First, she was surprised, then overjoyed, but soon furrowed her brow in a skeptical expression, and finally, she was exceptionally moved.

  It was the red pill in the box that caused such a change in her expression.

  And this Dan medicine, whether from color, spiritual power or the fragrance emitted, is very similar to the Zhu Yan Dan sold for 900 Ling stones per grain at the Kuiling Street Trading Fair.

  "Is this a Stay-Youth Pill?" Jian Xiner choked with emotion. This was the very pill she had been dreaming of for so long, and that time she had only managed to buy a few grains of secondary dan, yet she had still been overjoyed. Now that she had actually obtained a real Stay-Youth Pill, she was so excited that she could hardly control her emotions.

  Zhao Di smiled at Jian Xiang'er, but in his heart he thought: "Hmph, sometimes happiness comes too quickly, it's indeed hard for people to accept all at once."

  This was exactly what Zhao Di used the small tripod to cultivate the Rejuvenating Pellet, and he also took one. To say it, these few Rejuvenating Pellets were actually "snatched" from Jian Xiang'er.

  It seems that things have returned to their rightful owner now, Zhao thought to himself. He deliberately waited for over a year before handing the Rejuvenating Pellet to Jian Xiner, believing that after such a long time had passed, she would not associate this pellet with the previous one in any way.

  "Not bad, this is indeed the beauty pill, I had a hard time getting it, you secretly take it, don't tell anyone." Zhao instructed.

  "How can you afford such an expensive Rejuvenating Pellet? Where did you get the Spirit Stone?" Jian Xiner wiped away her tears and, after calming down a bit, couldn't help but ask the question that had been on her mind.

  Zhao smiled mysteriously and said, "You'll understand once you've seen the other three boxes."

  Jian Xiner opened three jade boxes, each containing a small sword, three small circular rings and an eight-sided small shield.

  These few pieces of artifacts are all in a uniform golden light, and from the scattered spiritual power, they are undoubtedly high-quality artifacts.

  "Top-grade spiritual equipment!" Jian Xiner exclaimed, and after a moment, she asked in an even more astonished tone: "Are all of these made by you, Wu Genge? Did you personally refine them?"

  Zhao Di laughed heartily and said, "Not bad, I made them all myself. These are for you, practice more and make sufficient preparations for the foundation building trial in a few months!"

  After finishing, Zhao Di carefully explained to Jian Er the usage and effects of these several magical instruments.

  That small sword and octagonal shield are nothing special, just the most common attacking and defensive magic tools. But those three exquisite bronze rings are Zhao Di's proud works.

  This is a set of three matching props, which are used in conjunction with each other as a set of three small rings.

  The set of artifacts has a special advantage, which starts with the monk's control over the artifact's consumption of divine consciousness.

  Masters are all controlled by divine consciousness, and they need to be flexible and agile in controlling the law enforcement instruments. In addition to increasing practice, it also requires a certain amount of divine consciousness.

  Generally speaking, the divine consciousness of a high-ranking cultivator in the Qi Refining stage is only enough to manipulate two magical instruments at the same time. If there are more than two, they will be overwhelmed and unable to control them freely.

  Only a handful of exceptionally talented Qi Refining stage cultivators can barely operate three magical instruments at the same time. In contrast, Foundation Building stage cultivators, with their significantly enhanced spiritual consciousness, can control a substantially larger number of magical instruments simultaneously.

  Therefore, the demand for legal instruments by lawyers is quality-oriented rather than quantity-oriented.

  While the set of artifacts has transcended this limitation to some extent. Taking this set of three small rings as an example, when operating, the consumed divine consciousness is not three times that of ordinary artifacts, but only a few more than general artifacts. In this way, the advantage of the set of artifacts is also revealed.

  "It's like two ordinary people fighting, one person has two hands and the other person has four hands, who do you think has the advantage?"

  Jian Xin'er nodded, Zhao Di's analogy was not accurate, but it basically pointed out the advantages of using a complete set of magic tools for cultivators in the Refining Qi period.

  However, it is extremely difficult to refine this set of artifacts. During the refining process, not only must a corresponding array be laid out, but all three copper rings must also be successfully refined at once. If any one of them fails during refinement, the final array support cannot be completed and they cannot become a complete set of artifacts.

  Zhao Di also made a major breakthrough in his equipment refinement level and finally refined this set of complete law instruments.

  Jian Xin'er listened intently as Zhao Di explained the various uses of the copper ring artifact that could be both offensive and defensive, and before she knew it, more than half a day had passed.

  "Alright, Xiang'er," Zhao Di finally finished explaining the characteristics of these magical instruments and was about to leave. He said: "After you go back, secretly practice with these magical instruments. Don't let anyone see them. If you do, your chances of winning will be even greater. Also, don't say that I forged them. I'm not ready to become famous in the Tai Xu Gate yet."

  If Jian Xin'er were to reveal that Zhao Ding had the ability to refine top-grade artifacts, although it wouldn't harm him, it would inevitably attract attention and might even lead to him being cultivated as a "genius artifact refiner" with exceptional talent. However, all of this could potentially hinder his future cultivation path, so he thought it was better to keep a low profile.

  "Ah, Xiang'er understands! Wu Gen Ge is afraid of delaying his cultivation, right?" Xiang'er nodded in response, then revealed a mysterious smile and said: "I also have something prepared for Wu Gen Ge here, but I didn't expect that the dan medicine and law instruments Wu Gen Ge gave me were so precious. Xiang'er is somewhat at a loss as to how to reciprocate." After finishing speaking, she took out a wooden box and handed it over to Zhao Di.

  Zhao Di opened it and found a red pill inside, which was the famous "Easy Tendon Pill" that he had been unable to buy anywhere.

  "This is the last of the three Easy Muscle Pills that Master Sun gave me, I used the first two to break through the eleventh layer bottleneck, now only this one is left. It's not comparable to the value of the elixir that Brother Wugen sent, don't be disdainful, Brother Wugen." Jian Xiang'er saw Zhao's face reveal a joyful expression, and didn't really worry about him being disdainful.

  Yi Jin Wan is a spiritual elixir that greatly benefits cultivators above the 11th layer of Qi Refining. Any high-level Qi Refining cultivator who obtains this pill will definitely use it to refine and enhance their own strength in the first instance. But Jian Xiner has been keeping it unused, apparently having reserved it for Zhao Di all along. It's not because Zhao Di took out so many treasures that she reluctantly parted with this pill.

  He knew that Jian Xin had agreed to help Sun surname old man watch the medicine garden for three years in exchange for these three easy tendon pills.

  Zhao Di thought of this and was also deeply moved, saying: "To me, the value of this pill is more than all the things I gave you."

  Zhao Di's words were not a polite expression, what he gave to Jian Yin'er was all made from cheap secondary dan materials that had been refined and processed, and he only spent a little effort on it. On the other hand, what Jian Yin'er gave him was genuine and valuable dan medicine that was hard to buy in the market, and it just happened to be suitable for breaking through his current cultivation bottleneck.

  Jian Xiner naturally didn't understand the true meaning of this sentence, she thought Zhao Di just wanted to express his gratitude.

  "By the way, Wu Gen Ge, have you named these magical instruments?" The two stood up and were about to leave Gu Zhen Quan when Jian Xiang Er suddenly asked. Before Zhao Di could respond, she giggled and said: "Since they were personally refined by Wu Gen Ge, let's call them Wu Gen Sword, Wu Gen Ring, and Wu Gen Shield!"

  Zhao was speechless for a moment before saying, "It's too hard to hear, let's just call it the Dragon Spring Sword, the Qian Kun Circle, and the Void Shield."

  Zhao Di unceremoniously borrowed several famous sword and artifact titles.
