Chapter 243 Refining Divine Fire
As long as Zhang Qian continues to refine it according to the method he has obtained and collects billions of kinds of Taoist energy, the Zhoutian Wanqi Bottle can also be refined to the level of an acquired treasure.

Of course, this is not easy and will take an extremely long time.

Zhang Qian saw clearly that just using the Infinite Mirage Qi to refine the embryo of the Zhoutian Wanqi Bottle required at least the cultivation level of an immortal or god. Without becoming an immortal or god, it would be impossible to cultivate it. And collecting billions of kinds of Tao Qi would be a task that would consume countless amounts of time.

"It takes a long time for me to recover my cultivation to that level. I can't count on it now. Although this Zhoutian Wanqi Bottle is good, I'd better wait until I recover my cultivation to the Golden Immortal level in my previous life before refining it."

Muttering to himself, Zhang Qian let go of his initial excitement. Although the Zhoutian Wanqi Bottle was good, Zhang Qian was not in a hurry. If he was destined to have it, he would refine it. If not, he would throw it aside.

"This Mirage Dragon Lake was formed by a Mirage Dragon refining treasures again. So, that Mirage Dragon refined the Zhoutian Wanqi Bottle here? It seems that the Mirage Dragon is a powerful being who has achieved the status of an immortal god. I don't know whether he succeeded in refining it. I don't know what his intention was in leaving this refining method here? He even left behind the Snow Soul Cold Flame."

Zhang Qian was puzzled. He didn't know what the mirage dragon that left this method and the Snow Soul Cold Flame was planning. After thinking about it, Zhang Qian said cautiously, "I'd better not touch this kind of thing left by an immortal who has lived for who knows how many years. Who knows what the plan is? I don't believe that the mirage dragon is so kind. It will be safe to use this method after I recover to the Golden Immortal realm. By then, no matter what the plan is, I can easily resist it!"

Having made up his mind, Zhang Qian put this method aside and was no longer as excited as before. Little did he know that his caution was right. Apart from anything else, the Snow Soul Cold Flame contained the plan of the Mirage Dragon. Unfortunately, the Snow Soul Cold Flame fell into the hands of the World Tree. No matter how many plans the Mirage Dragon had left behind, it was useless as it was swallowed up completely. The World Tree would not waste any time.

Zhang Qian didn't know this, and the World Tree didn't say anything. Perhaps in the eyes of the World Tree, this little calculation was simply a trivial matter not worth mentioning.

Thinking of the Xuepo Cold Flame, Zhang Qian had an idea and took out the divine fire seeds that he had put away.

The soybean-sized divine fire seeds kept swaying, as if they would go out at any time, and appeared extremely weak. Compared with the previously blazing and endlessly chilling Snow Soul Cold Flame, it was countless times weaker.

"A snow soul cold flame that has been burning for billions of years, there is no telling how much power it contains. I wonder how much benefit the World Tree has gained this time?"

Suppressing the regret in his heart, Zhang Qian held the divine fire seed in his palm. As for how to refine this divine fire seed, Zhang Qian already had a way.
To refine the seed, one must first receive the divine fire seed in one's dantian, and then infect the seed with the true essence of the whole body. When the seed is completely infected by one's true essence and has the imprint of one's divine consciousness, the seed can be considered refined. This is an extremely time-consuming and slow process, so one cannot be impatient.

After thinking about the refining steps several times in his mind, Zhang Qian gently opened his mouth and spit out a ball of true energy.

This ball of true essence directly wrapped up the divine fire seed. What Zhang Qian didn't expect was that after being wrapped by the true essence, such a small divine fire seed the size of a soybean suddenly rioted, emitting extreme coldness and heat, and burned most of the true essence in just a short moment!

Seeing this, Zhang Qian's heart tightened, and he hurriedly spat out another ball of true energy, then opened his mouth and swallowed the divine fire seed wrapped in true energy.

hum!
This seed went directly into Zhang Qian's dantian and entered the center of the dantian's true energy vortex.

Although Zhang Qian was only at the initial stage of the True Essence Realm, the True Essence in his Dantian was still quite vast. This divine fire seed suddenly burned in the center of the True Essence vortex, like a spark entering boiling oil! "Suppress it!"

Seeing that the divine fire seed was burning more and more violently, while the true energy in his dantian was being consumed rapidly, Zhang Qian hurriedly visualized a small Buzhou Divine Mountain. The illusory shadow of the Buzhou Divine Mountain appeared in his dantian, fell down with a loud bang, and directly suppressed the divine fire seed!

The virtual image of the Buzhou Divine Mountain that Zhang Qian visualized only contained a trace of the Tao rhyme of the real Buzhou Divine Mountain. However, it was this trace of Tao rhyme that demonstrated an incredible force of suppression. The divine seed that had been burning fiercely and like a riot suddenly solidified and could not move, and there was no change.

Despite this, Zhang Qian could immediately sense that the true energy in his dantian was being consumed rapidly, and because he was visualizing the Buzhou Divine Mountain, even the spiritual power in his sea of ​​consciousness was being consumed extremely quickly.

"It seems that the World Tree did not lie to me. With my current cultivation level, it is impossible to refine the Snow Soul Cold Flame. I will be directly frozen into powder. Now, it is so difficult to refine just this little Divine Fire Seed!"

At this point, Zhang Qian also understood that the World Tree did not deceive him. It was difficult for him to refine the divine fire seed with his current cultivation level, not to mention the Snow Soul Cold Flame that had been burning for billions of years and contained endless chillness and heat.

After being suppressed by the phantom of Buzhou Divine Mountain, the Divine Fire Seed no longer had the power to cause trouble. Zhang Qian hurriedly practiced his own cultivation method, allowing the true energy in his body to circulate rapidly. The reason why true energy is true energy is because it contains the power of divine consciousness and the unique aura of cultivators. Zhang Qian practiced his method, allowing his true energy to continuously infect the Divine Fire Seed and began to refine it.

This refining process lasted more than half a month. During this time, Zhang Qian received messages from Li Qingque several times. At this moment, the Jianhu Palace and the ancient sects of Xingyunzhou had gathered all their combat forces to confront the countless monsters in the Great Star Sea from afar.

Although the two sides did not start a real war, they frequently sent out monks to kill secretly. Many people were killed and injured in the Jianhu Palace alone. It seemed that a war was about to begin.

Ever since Meng Lingsu received the ancient bronze coffin from Zhang Qian, he absorbed the ominous aura emanating from the coffin. He encountered no bottlenecks in his cultivation at all. In just a short period of time, he had already reached the third level of the Golden Core Realm. This speed of breakthrough shocked the entire Jianhu Palace!

And because Meng Lingsu's curse technique is so strange and terrifying, nearly twenty great monsters from the starry sea have died under Meng Lingsu's curse in the past half month, and they are all monsters in the Jindan realm.

Killing more than twenty Jindan monsters by himself was an impressive achievement, making Meng Lingsu famous throughout the Xingyun Province. This was also because Meng Lingsu was ordered by Zhang Qian not to show off too much.

With Meng Lingsu's current power, if he let go, he could kill not only more than twenty big monsters, but more than two hundred big monsters.

Li Qingque kept urging Zhang Qian to go back, but Zhang Qian always made excuses to avoid it. However, Zhan Taixuan had not shown up for a long time, and even Li Qingcheng became suspicious.

Zhang Qian did not arouse Li Qingcheng's suspicion. He had already asked Mo Yi to transform into his appearance and join the team of the Demon Refining Island. With Li Qingque's help to cover up, outsiders did not notice anything unusual.
