"After all, I'm still soft on beauties!" Zhao Di self-deprecatingly said, while also secretly warning himself not to let this feeling interfere with his cultivation path.

  But Zhao Di even felt that after this time, his resistance to the beautiful female cultivator had increased a lot, and he believed that if he encountered a similar situation again and had to make a ruthless move, he would not hesitate at all!

  He spent several days of effort, and also arranged the few sets of spell arrays purchased from Penglai Fairy Island around the cave house. After doing all this, he walked to the secret entrance of the cave house.

  Zhao Di was walking on the path leading to the Dong Fu at this time, feeling extremely good!

  In this passage, he also arranged a lot of mechanisms, although they are not particularly powerful, but if there were outsiders who came in, he could see them at a glance.

  But now all these mechanisms are intact, it seems that Yun Xianzi really didn't enter his cave mansion.

  What's more important is that the heavenly fragrance illusion formation sent by the young girl is very useful for his demon-hunting plan!

  Others don't have high-grade spirit stones, but Zhao Di can use them endlessly!

  With the Tianxiang Huanqing Formation, combined with his previous plan, he can become a powerful cultivator who can easily slaughter demon beasts, and the efficiency is astonishing!

  He was even a little impatient to complete all the preparations and go to the alien star to hunt down the monsters.

  As soon as he pushed open the stone gate leading to the Spiritual Eye Spring, Zhao Di immediately felt something.

  Under a flash of emerald light, he charged towards Zhao Di head-on!

  Zhao Di didn't dodge or evade, letting the green light rush towards him. The green light landed on Zhao Di's body, revealing its true form - a small snake about the length of a foot and as thick as a finger, with a back as green as bamboo and a belly as white as jade. This little snake slithered around Zhao Di's body, rubbing against his face and cheeks, its expression extremely affectionate.

  Zhao Di knew that this was the young snake that had just been born from the egg of Bi Han Jiao, and because it had successfully recognized its master, the little snake regarded itself as a parental figure and seemed extremely affectionate. The Yu Ling Dian Jing mentioned that when spiritual beasts are young, they often need to be comforted, which is very helpful in cultivating the tacit understanding between the spiritual beast and its master. Therefore, Zhao Di also played with the little snake for a while with great enthusiasm.

  It is said that the Jiaolong clan, when born, are generally in the form of snakes or pythons. At this time, they usually only have the level of a low-level demon beast, equivalent to a cultivator in the Qi Refining stage 3-4. As their cultivation increases, they will often shed their snake skin and transform into a Jiaolong at a certain point. The Bihanci in the Bihanchi Pond was transformed from a python to a Jiaolong when it entered the second level.

  Zhao Di carefully examined the small snake, discovering that it was a descendant of both ice and wind attributes. This variation of spiritual beast is extremely rare, according to legend, adult variations often possess unimaginable unique divine abilities! However, the growth of variation spiritual beasts is often much more difficult than ordinary spiritual beasts, it's unknown when this ice-wind dual attribute small snake will evolve into a dragon body!

  Zhao Di went to the Lingyan Spring, and checked on the other beast eggs. Sure enough, just like the records said, all of the beast eggs had been destroyed, leaving behind only a pile of white or pale green eggshells.

  This is a characteristic of the genus Ophiophagus, where no matter how many eggs are laid, only one egg will hatch. When this single egg hatches, the newly hatched snakelet will immediately consume the other dead eggs. If there are not enough dead eggs to eat, the sole hatchling will also die soon.

  It's probably because the Jiaolong clan is born much stronger than other demons, so it's also much harder to breed their offspring, this might be the way of heaven. Zhao muttered to himself.

  "Since you're an ice and wind dual-attribute spirit beast, let's call you Ice Wind Snake then." Zhao Di stroked the small snake's smooth, jade-like body, saying softly.

  Then he followed the instructions of "Yu Ling Qian Tan" and practiced for a while on how to use his divine consciousness to command the Ice Wind Snake.

  The Ice Wind Snake's cultivation is still very low and can only spit out a thread of cold air. It doesn't know how to release any spells.

  Zhaodi was not in a hurry, the potential of the Jiaolong clan was quite enormous, let alone the ice and wind dual-attribute variant spirit beast. He had high hopes for the future of this Ice Wind Snake and made up his mind to cultivate it well, making it another great help for himself!

  Moreover, once a spiritual beast recognizes its master, it can no longer be given to anyone else, and only the master of the spiritual beast can control it. If the master unfortunately dies, the spiritual beast will also die immediately. Therefore, even if someone knows that they have a dragon spirit beast, at most they will just envy and covet it, and generally will not bring about fatal calamity because of this.

  Humans can greatly improve their cultivation by taking spiritual elixirs and medicines, and spiritual beasts and demon beasts can do the same. Spiritual beasts are actually demon beasts, but because they have been domesticated and recognized as masters by cultivators, and are controlled by humans, they are distinguished from ordinary demon beasts that are not awakened to intelligence, so they are called spiritual beasts.

  Suitable for the Ice Wind Snake's current medication, there is a kind of elixir called Yu Ling San, which is not too expensive. Zhao Di bought a lot of it and used a small cauldron to cultivate it, feeding it to the Ice Wind Snake from time to time.

  But he himself was in no hurry to refine all the dozen or so third-grade Yao Dan in his hand into medicinal pills and take them to meditate.

  Zhao Di's primary goal was to refine a large batch of mid-grade spiritual artifacts!

  Like the law enforcement equipment, the shape of Lingjue is also rich and colorful, with bows, knives, swords, guns, sticks, hooks, hammers, forks, whips, axes and other attacking Lingjue, as well as various shapes of shields, copper orders and other defensive Lingjue.

  Zhao Di had already figured out what kind of spiritual tool he wanted to make!

  Next, apart from occasionally feeding and playing with Bingfeng Snake, Zhao Di devoted all his time to refining spiritual artifacts.

  More than half a year later, Zhao Di had dozens of attacking spiritual artifacts and about ten defensive spiritual artifacts, all of which were mid-grade spiritual artifacts that used middle-tier spirit stones.

  Those dozens of aggressive spiritual artifacts were all bow-type long-range attack tools with different attributes.

  More than ten defensive spiritual tools, also the most skilled shield-type spiritual tools made in Zhao territory.

  Zhao Di, who thought that his equipment refining skills had reached a certain level of mastery, began to think about those few fifth-grade demon beast materials.

  He wants to use these materials to refine one or two top-grade spiritual artifacts that require high-level spirit stones to exert their full power!

  Months later, Zhao Di grasped a crimson bone knife with a hilt inlaid with a half-transparent red high-grade fire attribute spirit stone, extremely excited!

  After experiencing numerous failures and wasting a considerable amount of materials and high-grade spirit stones, he finally managed to craft the only superior spirit artifact, the fire-attribute "Blazing Sky Blade"!

  Zhao Di grasped the hilt of the Zhuoyue Blade with both hands, raised his sword and swung it lightly. A fire dragon over ten zhang long burst out from the blade, its presence was extremely astonishing. At least in Zhao Di's view, he couldn't withstand this fire dragon's attack.

  Although it is said that the main consumption of spiritual instruments is the spiritual power in the spiritual stone, cultivators only need to inject a small amount of spiritual power to guide and control. However, for high-quality spiritual instruments, the consumption of spiritual power is extremely large! Like the gentle swing just now, even if it was only responsible for guiding and manipulating, it consumed nearly two-tenths of Zhao Di's divine consciousness and spiritual power.

  With this alone, Zhao Di believed that this Heaven-Defying Bone Knife would become another trump card for himself! Normally he wouldn't dare to use it, but once used, he had to make sure to annihilate the enemy completely, leaving no survivors!

  But this was not a regular means in his plan. Next, Zhao Di began to refine what he called human-shaped puppets.

  The crafting method of the puppet is not complicated, and if one is not particular about the puppet's appearance, it is even easier. Compared to crafting a mid-grade magic tool, it is not much more difficult. The only trouble is that one must merge the demon soul with the crafted puppet body to form a complete puppet. This process requires setting up a small-scale magic array and casting a secret technique.

  Of course, these spells and techniques are not particularly difficult to understand, and Zhao Di can comprehend them after a period of contemplation.

  In just half a year, Zhao Di had refined more than fifty human-shaped puppets at the Qi Refining stage. They were all about the size of a palm, but under the effect of low-grade spirit stones, they could suddenly inflate to the same size as real people. However, due to Zhao Di's rough craftsmanship, these puppets' facial features were stiff and unnatural.

  Moreover, there is also a certain failure rate during the refining process. Although Zhao Di had prepared over 100 sets of puppet materials, he ultimately only refined more than 50.

  Everything is ready, only waiting for the east wind!

  Zhao Di picked up the jade slip containing the method of dividing one's divine sense, and stood up. The contents of this jade slip he had already comprehended long ago, and now he was about to follow the method above to forcibly divide his divine sense and create a strand of divided spirit!
