Chapter 156: The Seven Treasures of Buddhism

  "Master, although this relic does not contain the sequel to the Hunyuan manual, these seven treasures of Buddhism are absolutely rare and precious. If you can really collect all seven treasures of Buddhism and refine the Hunyuan Seven-Star Sword, your power will surely increase greatly!" Youlan said quickly after browsing through the jade slip, with a hint of comfort.

  "The Seven Treasures of Buddhism, each one is an excellent material for making Buddhist treasures. There are a few that even the old monsters from the Yuan Ying period wouldn't let go of, how can I collect them all?" Zhao looked at the several colorful mineral stones in front of him and shook his head.

  The Seven Treasures of Buddhism, Zhao Di had also heard of them before. They were the most revered treasures in Buddhism, said to possess a hint of Buddhist power within. The Seven Treasures of Buddhism consisted of Xuanfeng Gold, Tianxiang Silver, Pingshi Stone, Huoshan Coral, Liuli Qing, Jinxun Amber, and Manao Leaf. Among them, Xuanfeng Gold and Tianxiang Silver were the most famous "Du Bao" materials in the cultivation world, one gold and one silver, one for offense and one for defense. When refining any sword or knife-type treasure, adding a small amount of Xuanfeng Gold would make it incredibly sharp, almost invincible. And when adding some Tianxiang Silver to any treasure, it would become extremely durable, rendering ordinary treasures powerless against it. Zhao Di had a piece of Tianxiang Silver in his hand.

  In addition to these two famous Xianxia world treasures, Jinhua, Malachite Leaf, Liuli Qing, Huoshanhu and Pingsha Shi are the most commonly used materials for Buddhist monks' magical tools, corresponding to the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth.

  These five treasures are all products of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, often requiring accumulation over tens of thousands of years to be born in a special environment, and then increasing in age as they absorb more heavenly energy.

  The longer the years of treasure, the more heaven and earth spirits are contained, and the greater its value and power.

  Taking fire coral as an example, thousand-year-old fire coral is a top-notch material for making fire-attribute treasures. As for ten-thousand-year-old fire coral, it can be used to create extremely powerful, top-grade treasures that even old monsters in the Yuan Ying stage would fight over!

  Amber, agate, crystal clear and jade are also the case, hundreds of years to over a thousand years old, can already produce powerful magical artifacts, while those over ten thousand years old, only exist in legend, extremely rare cases have appeared.

  Because these treasures, once they have a certain age, can emit an extremely strong spiritual energy, allowing some great masters to sense them from a very far range. Therefore, those ancient treasures were long ago taken away by the predecessors, leaving only a few remaining!

  This is somewhat similar to the situation of high-grade spirit stones, which are also extremely rare, with most being mid-grade or low-grade spirit stones. The difference is that these year-filled treasures are even more precious than high-grade spirit stones.

  In front of Zhao Di, there were several pieces of ore. Apart from a piece of walnut-sized, pale golden Xuanfeng Gold, there were two fist-sized treasures: a deep yellow Agate and a blue transparent Luliuqing. Both of these treasures were over a thousand years old and were indeed excellent materials for refining magical artifacts.

  Adding to Zhao Di's existing Tian Bao Silver, he only needed to get Golden Amber, Fire Coral and Manganese Leaf, then he could try refining the Hunyuan Seven Star Sword.

  Of course, to turn these five elements of spiritual power into a magic treasure that can exert the power of Hunyuan, it is necessary to rely on the support of a spell formation. A set of "Hunyuan Five Elements Great Formation" must be arranged during the refining process, which can borrow the power of this spell formation to transform the five elements of spiritual power contained in these materials into unified Hunyuan power under the fire of Hunyuan Golden Elixir. This will become a special magic treasure for Hunyuan Golden Elixir cultivators. After possessing this magic treasure, whether it is used in conjunction with Hunyuan One Qi or Hunyuan Divine Light, it can exert enormous power. Although no one has ever actually practiced it, in the eyes of Ximen Sanren, it is absolutely more suitable for Hunyuan Golden Elixir cultivators than ordinary five elements magic treasures.

  "What a pity, this piece of jade and crystal clearness is actually put into the storage bag so casually. It seems that Ximen Sanren is not very familiar with the art of refining instruments." Yu Lan sighed lightly and said.

  "Are you saying that he didn't seal these two treasures in a special jade box, resulting in some loss of spiritual energy?" Zhao Di asked with a faint smile.

  "Not bad! These single five-line attribute treasures should be placed in corresponding attribute containers and attached with a few talismans to prevent spiritual energy from leaking out, only then can they be preserved for a long time. I think that if they are randomly placed like this, over time, the spiritual power will dissipate greatly. I estimate that this Briony stone was originally around 1,100 years old, and now it's already 1,000 years old, although the difference is not much, but it also makes the refined treasures' power weaker by a fraction!" Yu Lan's tone was filled with regret.

  These words were extremely agreeable to Zhao Di, as a refiner, the most basic element is to keep the raw materials well, and then refine and smelt. If the first step is not done well, the resulting magical artifacts will be much inferior. He nodded at the girl and said: "Yes, indeed so, was your specialty previously refining techniques?"

  "It shouldn't be, I just suddenly thought of it in my mind and said it out, but it seems that I have no impression of the specific operation of alchemy at all." Yu Lan furrowed her brow and thought carefully for a moment before shaking her head to answer Zhao Di's question.

  Zhao took out a blue jade box and placed the piece of crystal clear glass in it, sticking several talismans on it. Then he took out another jade box, carefully storing the least but most valuable Xuanfeng gold among the three materials, and put it together with the storage bag.

  As for that piece of jade, it seemed to have been forgotten by him, still quietly floating in mid-air.

  "This must be the transmission token that Simen Daoren used to transmit here!" Zhao Di grasped the white jade token, about two or three inches in size, suspended in mid-air with one hand. With his many years of experience in refining equipment, he couldn't even judge the material quality of this token.

  This treasure, the Transmission Order, has been extinct in the cultivation world for many years. The reason is probably that the materials needed to refine it are extremely scarce. Therefore, Zhao Di couldn't identify the material of this white jade token, which is normal.

  Teleportation orders and teleportation talismans are both treasures that protect the person being teleported and offset the spatial pressure during long-distance teleportation. In comparison, teleportation talismans are one-time consumable items that are destroyed after use; while teleportation orders require the consumption of a certain amount of spiritual energy from the cultivator, but can be reused multiple times. The protective effect of teleportation orders is also much better than that of ordinary teleportation talismans. Therefore, during the ancient era, when cultivators performed ultra-long-distance teleportation, they generally used teleportation orders or specially made extremely complex teleportation talismans.

  Zhao walked around the ancient and intricate small-scale magic array in front of him, circling several times, only to discover that a corner of this array was actually damaged. Although the damage was not great, for an array that required perfection, it had already rendered this ancient teleportation array unusable, requiring complete repair before it could be used again.

  "Young lady, how much of the ancient array method of the Jade Scroll have you comprehended?" Zhao Di interrupted, asking aloud.

  "It seems like I haven't finished reading it yet, but there's a lot of content in here that I seem to be very familiar with. Often, after just reading a little bit, I can recall many related things. It looks like I really did study the way of arrays thoroughly in my past life!" The girl exclaimed excitedly, earlier when she was studying several ancient grand arrays, she actually recovered quite a few memories related to arrays, making her very happy.

  Zhao Di stroked his chin, smiling and said: "Very good, I didn't expect you sisters to have your own strengths. If you cultivate well, who knows how much help you can be to me! This ancient array method jade slip will be left for you to ponder later, first let's take a look at this transmission array, it seems to be damaged, can you restore it?"

  You Ru heard the words, lightly twisted her waist and floated to the corner of the law array pointed by Zhao Di. She squatted down and looked carefully, after a moment she said confidently: "Let me re-arrange an ancient teleportation array, it may not be possible, but repairing such a small place is naturally easy, as long as the master gives me a few necessary materials, You Ru can repair it in no time."

  "It's fine if it can be repaired, but there's no rush. First, go and set up these two arrays in the quiet room. These two are common concealment spirit wave and blocking divine sense forbidden arrays, shouldn't be too difficult for you, right?" Zhao handed over some array flags, law disks, etc., to the girl.

  The first update!
