Chapter 315: Refining Treasures (Part 1)
Another water sphere condensed, but Lin Qing glanced at the distance.
He had been condensing for ten years, and the octopus demon had been motionless for ten years. If it weren't for the occasional glances from the beast, he would have thought it was dead.
As for Ling Xueqing, who was in the same cave as Lin Qing, her strength had reached the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion after these ten years.
To be honest, after half a year had passed, she was extremely anxious in her heart. After all, she had always wanted to break free. But after a whole year had passed, she knew that there was no hope of escaping in the short term, so she began to truly settle down and focus on cultivation. With the help of the Phosphorescent Fire Beast and her own spiritual stones, her cultivation had naturally reached the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion after ten years.
At this moment, when she glanced at Lin Qing, who was still condensing the water sphere in front of the blue light curtain, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
Lin Qing's daily condensing over the past ten years had earned her utmost admiration, but besides admiration, there were other thoughts in her heart. This cave was only three or four zhang in size, and although Lin Qing had partitioned it later, the cave itself was too small. After spending so much time together, what could they hide from each other?
Their relationship had long become familiar. Even Lin Qing's Purple Gold Toad was called Xiaojin by her. Ling Xueqing often chatted with Xiaojin, taking the initiative to talk about the local customs of where she came from. The relationship between the two had become quite good.
In Ling Xueqing's heart, there was actually one thing she admired and was most grateful for.
That was Lin Qing's conduct.
During the days when they were trapped in the cave, she occasionally worried that Lin Qing might lose control of his beastly nature. After all, she had revealed her true appearance, and the two of them were in a relatively closed space. If they stayed together for a long time, if Lin Qing wanted to do something, she was too weak to resist or escape.
But what she didn't expect was that although Lin Qing was stronger than her, after being trapped here and determined to stay for a long time, he had always treated her with respect. This made her extremely grateful.
To be honest, at first she thought Lin Qing was just pretending, but she didn't expect that after ten years, he was still the same.
Her opinion of Lin Qing had long since changed. After all, who could pretend for ten years?
After staring at Lin Qing for a while, Ling Xueqing suddenly thought of something, and her face turned red. Without saying a word, she immersed herself in cultivation again.
"It's almost time."
What Ling Xueqing didn't know was that Lin Qing was feeling somewhat happy at this moment.
After ten years, although he hadn't completely condensed all the water from the Coldwater Abyss, the time to refine the treasure was not far away. One reason was that the water in the current bead was already sufficient, and the other reason was that the Coldwater Abyss was simply too large. He couldn't possibly condense all of it. Perhaps it would take a hundred years, but he couldn't afford to delay for such a long time.
Moreover, with the current amount of water, the power of the refined treasure was already considerable. In the future, even if there was water that hadn't been condensed and absorbed into the bead, it could still slowly condense.
With this thought in mind, Lin Qing immediately decided not to delay any longer and start refining the treasure in the next few days.
Unlike Ling Xueqing, his cultivation hadn't increased much after ten years. His spiritual power had been used in condensing the water Divine Ability, which was also an important reason why he didn't want to continue condensing.
It was good for the power of the treasure to be stronger, but his own strength couldn't be weak.
After condensing another water sphere, Lin Qing stopped and his divine sense entered the bead. Inside, a huge lake lay quietly in the bead, giving Lin Qing a unique feeling every time he saw it.
From a fist-sized water sphere to forming a lake, not only did it make the treasure tend to take shape and make the water condensing Divine Ability more proficient, but it also refined his temperament, making him even more tenacious than before.
Put away the precious beads, Lin Qing decided to rest for three days before officially refining the magic treasure.
On the second day, when Lin Qing didn't start condensing water balls as usual, but instead sat in meditation, Ling Xueqing became curious. After Lin Qing finished meditating, he asked, "Senior Lin, why didn't you fetch water today?"
Lin Qing smiled and said in a good mood, "The water fetching task has been completed. Next, I will officially start refining the magic treasure. Once the magic treasure is successfully refined, I believe that you and I will easily escape from this predicament."
After speaking, Lin Qing glanced at the motionless octopus monster and had one more thing to say in his heart, that is, this monster could also be killed.
"Then congratulations, Senior."
After hesitating for a moment, Ling Xueqing congratulated Lin Qing and a smile appeared on his face.
Looking at Ling Xueqing's face, Lin Qing was momentarily lost in thought. Even though he had been accustomed to this face for ten years, he couldn't help but be moved when he looked at it now. But then he remembered something, Lin Qing withdrew his gaze and took out the magic treasure refining materials he had obtained earlier, and began to read them, preparing for the magic treasure refining in a few days.
Seeing Lin Qing glance at him and then withdraw his gaze, Ling Xueqing felt a faint disappointment in his heart for some reason.
Now, Lin Qing's whole mind was focused on refining the magic treasure.
Among the several magic treasure materials he had obtained, any one of them required main ingredients and other auxiliary materials to be refined. However, Lin Qing couldn't figure out what materials to use for his nameless precious bead, so he decided not to use any. After all, most of those main ingredients and auxiliary materials were obtained with the intention of mutual assistance, and he didn't know what could assist his precious bead. Moreover, how could he obtain them here?
Ignoring the auxiliary materials, Lin Qing looked at the refining methods. Although these magic treasures were all refined using alchemical fire, each had a different refining method.
After reading through them, Lin Qing chose a method called the Three Yang Refining Method, which was the most stable and safe.
Once he made his choice, he carefully pondered it.
"Begin!"
Lin Qing enveloped the precious bead with his divine sense and floated it in front of him, about a foot away.
His expression was solemn at this moment. It was now three days later, and he was about to officially refine the magic treasure. Ling Xueqing and the Golden Toad were together, and the octopus monster outside was still guarding from a distance, so no one could disturb him.
After the precious bead floated up, it was strange that even though it contained so much water, it still felt light.
After the precious bead was fixed in place, Lin Qing quickly placed two fingers of his right hand on his left arm, and two fingers of his left hand on his right arm. Then, a faint white light emanated from both his left and right arms, gradually growing brighter until Lin Qing's entire figure disappeared.
"Go!"
At this moment, Lin Qing's left hand remained unchanged, but his right hand suddenly pointed forward. In the white light, a faint golden color appeared, and then the white and golden colors enveloped the precious bead.
Seeing the success of the first step, Lin Qing relaxed slightly.
Then he immediately kept his mind still and slowly refined the precious bead with the alchemical fire drawn from within his body.
This was only the first step in the Three Yang Refining Method, which involved using the alchemical fire to remove impurities from some of the materials. Although Lin Qing didn't know if the precious bead had any impurities, he still followed the steps of the Three Yang Refining Method to refine it.
