Chapter 229 Lifeline Five Elements Canglan Umbrella
Afterward, Yu Qingtan had Hao Can send someone to notify Xiang Yu in Tianxiang Immortal City, also maximizing her own publicity.
Since the Hundred Flowers List and the Pride of the Heavens List were expensive, Yu Qingtan decided to promote her own profile.
Although Yan Xi and the others hadn't expected Yu Qingtan to be so keen on fame, they all found it quite normal, the hobbies of a powerhouse.
Once arrangements were made, Yu Qingtan sent the real person Shuang Su, the real person Xiu Yu, and Jia Siwen back to their sect using the teleportation hall.
Yu Qingtan then went to Hundred Treasures Pavilion with Yan Xi and Xiang Yiyi, selling off a batch of resources she got from Qian Yongduo.
This time, they were not received by the later-stage Foundation Establishment shopkeeper, but by a Golden Core Elder surnamed Tian.
Elder Tian directly upgraded Yu Qingtan's status from a third-level guest in the Hundred Treasures Pavilion to a fourth-level guest, equivalent to a Nascent Soul VIP, allowing her to enjoy a 20% discount on purchases.
Yu Qingtan then spent eight thousand top-grade Spirit Stones to request that Hundred Treasures Pavilion include her promotional brochure when selling items.
It was mainly aimed at Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
"No problem!"
Elder Tian agreed readily, why not earn such easy Spirit Stones.
You should know that seventy percent of the Immortal Cities in the Southeast Region have branches of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, and since Yu Qingtan became a fourth-level guest of Hundred Treasures Pavilion, it was natural to make full use of this.
However, Hundred Treasures Pavilion wasn't into the whole advertising endorsement thing yet, but Yu Qingtan wasn't planning on introducing these to Lichuan Cultivation World for the time being.
She was still too weak, and such a major move should be reserved for later.
The reason Yu Qingtan was so actively seeking Charm Points was mainly because the system store had updated, but both her Charm Points and Affection Value were running low.
[Charm Points: 1,030,000]
[Affection Value: 718]
[System Store: Lifebound Magical Treasure Upgrading to Taoist Instrument Card 0/1 (1 million Affection Value), Fourth Stage Cultivation Upgrade Card 0/3 (100,000 Affection Value), Origin Comprehension Card 0/3 (100,000 Affection Value), Dao Comprehension Perfection Card 0/10 (100,000 Affection Value), Fourth Stage Skill Upgrade Card 0/3 (100,000 Affection Value), Fourth Stage Dao Art Upgrade Card 0/10 (10,000 Affection Value)]
[Lucky Draw: 100,000 Charm Points for one draw (can be ten in a row)]
After the system store update, although everything inside was appealing, each item was incredibly pricey, and even the lottery draw changed to a single draw costing 100,000 Charm Points.
She had no choice but to work harder on earning Charm Points.
Later, Yu Qingtan also went to Heavenly Secret Tower and purchased some intelligence.
Returning to Wendao Sect, Yu Qingtan exchanged some items at the Hall of Merit and continued to announce her closed-door cultivation in Tanxian Elegant Courtyard.
Previously, due to her ranking, Sect Master Kongbei Zhenjun of Wendao Sect had rewarded her with 100,000 Contribution Points and advised her not to leave Wendao Sect easily before she reached the Nascent Soul Stage.
With the talent that Yu Qingtan had shown now, forces like the Demon Race, Sea Clan, and Extreme Path Demon Sect would certainly want to eliminate her quickly, and if she went out carelessly, she could easily meet her demise.
Though Yu Qingtan had strong life-saving abilities, she did not want to casually reveal her trump cards, as she was not entirely invincible.
The most crucial point was that she was to refine her own Lifebound Magical Treasure.
...
Yu Qingtan first sent a Shadow Clone to visit the young Tao and Shen Wanning.
"Wanning, I've reached the mid-stage Golden Core, wait for me!"
"Mhm!"
Yu Qingtan didn't talk much with Shen Wanning, because once, during a visit, she happened to encounter the Calamity Crossing Old Scoundrel using Divine Sense to probe the area, frightening them greatly.
Yu Qingtan was confident in her ability to conceal her presence and remain unseen, but she feared Shen Wanning might give something away, so she made their meetings brief and left shortly after.
In the Extreme Path Demon Sect, within Xu Kexin's cavern abode.
Yu Qingtan adjusted her condition to the best.
Then, she took out the Fourth Stage Lanthanide Stone, Fourth Stage Kaolin, Fourth Stage Everlasting Nanmu, Fourth Stage Magma Flame, Fourth Stage Four-Element Heavy Water, Innate Jia Wood, along with various other materials related to the Innate Five Elements, the Canglan Umbrella, and a huge pile of other materials.
Following the methods provided in True Lord Yanhe's "Comprehensive Compilation of Ten Thousand Magical Treasures Refinement Methods" and "Methods for Refining One's Lifebound Magical Treasures," she began to melt and fuse the materials using the Forging Cauldron.
...
One month later, an umbrella-shaped magical treasure formed around the framework of the Canglan Umbrella, incorporating various high-grade five-element spirit ores and ten types of innate five-element items. Looking vibrant as ever, Yu Qingtan expelled a mouthful of her life essence blood and energy from her Golden Core onto it, and then she divided a portion of her soul to merge into the umbrella, starting the tempering process with special techniques.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Another three days passed, and Yu Qingtan, holding the ancient oiled paper umbrella with a blue ink-painted surface in her hands, felt a wonderful sense of connection with it.
This was her Lifebound Magical Treasure, the Five Elements Canglan Umbrella, a supreme treasure-grade item.
The pattern on the umbrella's surface could actually change, and Yu Qingtan first set it to her current favorite pattern.
"Swoosh~" Your next chapter awaits on empire
Yu Qingtan drew a thin sword from the umbrella's handle, the Five Elements Canglan Sword, similar in style to the previous Canglan Sword but incomparably more powerful.
After forming a sword flower with an easy swipe, Yu Qingtan nodded in satisfaction.
Then, the Five Elements Canglan Umbrella and the Five Elements Canglan Sword suddenly disappeared, merging into Yu Qingtan's body.
This was one of the characteristics of a Lifebound Magical Treasure, the ability to merge with one's body.
The Lifebound Magical Treasure, like hair and nails, can be considered a part of the body; therefore, even if Yu Qingtan used her Innate Divine Power Shadow Clone, her Lifebound Magical Treasure would always accompany her.
After resting for just half a day, Yu Qingtan took out the Nine Pythons Mysterious Fire Cover, a Fourth Stage Spiritual Fire Innate Bing Fire, and eight Third Stage Spiritual Fires, then started to control these Spiritual Fires to devour the withered Second Stage Spiritual Fire within it.
Three days later, nine ferocious fire pythons spiraled grandly on the Nine Pythons Mysterious Fire Cover, which had returned to the level of a Third Stage supreme treasure.
It wasn't that Yu Qingtan didn't want to add a few more Fourth Stage Spiritual Fires, but the Nine Pythons Mysterious Fire Cover's material could no longer withstand any more.
After putting away the Nine Pythons Mysterious Fire Cover, Yu Qingtan took out the Roaming Zither.
The Roaming Zither was originally intended to be refined into a Daoist Instrument, but the attempt failed, and it was damaged to the level of a superior Spiritual Artifact during the Heavenly Tribulation.
The Xiang family had been in decline ever since and had not sought out a skilled artifact refiner for repairs. Now, Yu Qingtan's artifact refining skills, honed through refining dozens of treasures and her Lifebound Magical Treasure, had reached the peak of a Third Stage artifact refiner, making the repair of the Roaming Zither a trivial matter.
With that in mind, Yu Qingtan took out the various materials she had prepared.
For this artifact refining session, Yu Qingtan had spent most of her wealth on materials, leaving her with only some precious items and a pile of Spirit Stones.
Ten days later, the Roaming Zither was restored to the level of a supreme treasure.
After trying it out, Yu Qingtan neatly put it away, very satisfied with the result.
Then, Yu Qingtan also repaired the hole in the Dragon Scale Soft Armor that had been caused by Gou Dongxu's sneak attack with the Geng Metal Shadowless Needle.
Finally, following her favorite styles of clothes and accessories, Yu Qingtan crafted several sets of treasure-grade clothing.
For example, the water-blue knee-length dress, stockings, and small leather shoes she was wearing now.
However, they were all only of inferior treasure-grade because the high-grade materials for making clothes were exceedingly expensive and hard to find. Even so, they still added a seven-point air of ethereal charm.
"This is the most suitable for a little fairy like me!"
After changing into it, Yu Qingtan looked at herself in the mirror and murmured in satisfaction.
However, she generally only wore treasure-grade clothing when she was absolutely safe, as if her clone encountered a fatal attack, it would already be quite a stretch for her to store the Self-Hiding Pearl into the System Space.
After being busy for more than a month, Yu Qingtan emerged from seclusion under the identity of "Xu Kexin."
Outside her cave abode, there were also several Communication Talismans, mostly from her fellow disciples, but the most were from True Lord Chu Yu.
Speaking of which, on the Pride of the Heavens List this time, Chu Yu was exactly number one hundred.
Of course, Chu Yu had come to seek forgiveness; Yu Qingtan had not seen him again since she used the Chu family's killing of Xu Zhijian as a reason.
However, recalling the advice of Venerable Shenfeng Feng Wuyue, Yu Qingtan narrowed her eyes, her thoughts whirling, and she came up with an idea.
What do you think?
