As all the cyan light was absorbed into the gourd, the entire gourd spun around and landed in Zhang Ling's hand.
At the same time, a yellow light flashed and disappeared into his body, and Zhang Ling instantly retracted his golden core.
Looking at the Two Forms Gourd in his hand, which had shrunk several times in size, the entire gourd now glowed like a jade carving.
Zhang Ling took a long breath. His face was pale. For nearly a month, he had been spitting out pill fire non-stop, and the consumption was too great.
If he hadn't prepared sufficiently and had many pills to restore spiritual power, he probably wouldn't have been able to refine this gourd in one go.
The gourd in his hand was now a magic treasure embryo. Next, as long as he used a spirit纹 carving knife and some other materials, he could successfully refine the treasure.
Thinking this way, Zhang Ling sat down cross-legged directly, placed the gourd between his hands, and closed his eyes to meditate.
During this time, he had swallowed a lot of pills. Although they had all turned into spiritual power to supplement consumption, these pills had not been completely refined, and a lot of spiritual power remained in his body. If it wasn't completely digested, it would also be harmful to him.
In the next few days, he was recovering his consumption. When he had adjusted his state, he continued to refine his natal magic treasure non-stop.
In the blink of an eye, more than two months had passed.
Inside this earth fire stone house, Zhang Ling's hands were moving quickly. From the dozen or so jade boxes in front of him, some liquids of different colors floated out from time to time, all injected into the spirit紋 carving knife in his hand.
With his movements, small spiritual light lines appeared in front of him, turning into dense small runes, covering the gourd.
Puffing muffled sounds came from between Zhang Ling's hands from time to time, rushing out bursts of bursting spiritual power, shaking the spiritual power on his body constantly.
Zhang Ling stared at the gourd in his hand without blinking, constantly condensing small runes with the carving knife.
Speaking of which, this step is the most critical in refining treasures.
In order not to ruin the gourd in his hand, once Zhang Ling sensed that these runes were unstable, he would directly throw out these runes with the carving knife in his hand to avoid ruining the gourd.
Each rune was condensed from other auxiliary materials. Although the value was not small, it was naturally nothing compared to this Two Forms Gourd. He could still bear the consumption of these materials.
As runes fell on the gourd, the entire gourd emitted spiritual lights of various colors from time to time.
This scene lasted for a long time.
More than ten days later, Zhang Ling finally engraved the last rune on the Two Forms Gourd.
Immediately, the gourd emitted a great cyan light, and the entire gourd became a huge gourd more than ten feet high. Then a cloud of cyan and white mist emerged from the mouth of the gourd.
Looking at the constantly rolling mist, Zhang Ling gritted his teeth and bit the tip of his tongue. A mouthful of bright red blood was sprayed out by him.
At this time, his eyes were solemn, and his hands were quickly forming hand seals. After a few breaths, the blood essence exploded into a cloud of blood mist.
Then, spiritual light lines like hair threads lit up in the blood mist. The threads gradually solidified, condensing into blood-colored runes, which disappeared into the mist.
A series of muffled sounds rippled out from the mist. Each sound floated up layers of substantial spiritual power fluctuations, spreading to the surroundings. The Two Forms Gourd inside shook violently, sometimes large and sometimes small.
For a time, the entire earth fire house was filled with rumbling sounds.
Seeing this, Zhang Ling gritted his teeth and spewed out several more groups of blood essence, constantly turning into blood-colored runes.
With the blessing of blood essence, the sound became smaller and smaller. Until one moment, a huge cyan gourd phantom appeared in the mist. It was wrapped in dense blood-red runes. The constantly flashing spiritual light of these runes seemed to want to integrate into the phantom.
Although this scene seemed a bit strange, it was the most core step in the refining process of the natal magic treasure. Only by integrating the blood essence into the magic treasure embryo can a deep connection be established with the cultivator.
This step lasted for more than three days. When all the runes were integrated into the gourd phantom, the gourd phantom, along with the constantly rolling mist, were all compressed into the gourd.
The gourd also returned to its original size, turned into a cyan light, and fell into Zhang Ling's hand.
Zhang Ling looked at the gourd in his hand, and his mind became excited. Then, a yellow light flashed in his palm, and the gourd disappeared. Then he closed his eyes and looked inside at the situation in his dantian.
At this moment, a small cyan gourd appeared next to the constantly rotating golden core in the dantian, with cyan and white spiritual light flowing on it.
With a thought, the small cyan gourd rotated rapidly, emitting a cloud of cyan and white spiritual power.
On the outside, a special spiritual power shield instantly appeared on the surface of Zhang Ling's body.
This shield first appeared earthy yellow, then turned into cyan, then turned into white. Then it changed back to yellow again, repeatedly flowing quickly.
Zhang Ling opened his eyes and looked at the special spiritual power appearing on the surface of his body. He pinched a magic formula in his hand, and the spiritual light shield on his body suddenly turned into a mist state. The mist also appeared yellow, cyan, and white.
Then the mist divided into three groups of fist-sized mist, and then rotated and compressed, gradually forming three black-cyan small shields, rotating around his body very spiritually.
"Sure enough, it is very special, the power of the spirit shield has been strengthened a lot."
Zhang Ling was a little amazed in his heart. These three shields were the Profound Spirit Shield secret technique recorded in the Earth Origin True Spirit Art. With his current strength, he could condense three spirit shields.
The Profound Spirit Shield was completely concretized by compressed spiritual power. He mainly cultivated earth-attribute spiritual power. Originally, the color should be earthy yellow.
However, the addition of the cyan and white aura from the Two Forms Gourd into the spiritual power actually turned it into cyan-black. Under Zhang Ling's induction, the defense power of the shield was also increased by more than half, and the degree of defense was already not weaker than ordinary defensive magic weapons.
It should be known that the shield condensed by monks with spiritual power, or other types of defense means, is generally not comparable to real defensive magic weapons.
After all, defensive magic weapons are mostly refined with good materials. If the defense power is not as good as the monk's spiritual power shield, then what is the use of defensive magic weapons?
And this Profound Spirit Shield can also be used in superposition. The superposition of three spirit shields can also increase the defense power by more than three times. This definitely exceeds ordinary defensive magic weapons.
With a wave of Zhang Ling's hand, the three spirit shields instantly dissipated. At the same time, a cyan light flashed in his hand, and the gourd appeared in his hand again.
Those blood-colored runes have now been completely integrated into the gourd in his hand. The completion of this step also means that the gourd has been refined into a natal magic treasure.
As long as you continue to practice with pill fire in the future, the power can be quickly increased. However, Zhang Ling did not leave the earth fire room, but closed his eyes and meditated again.
After recovering his consumption, he took out those gourds of different sizes again and began to refine them.
