第三千二百六十七章 玄龟龙甲盾

"Where am I?"

Lin Xuan looked around at the scene before him. The vast, endless green desert stretched out in front of him, and he realized that he was still within the Green Cloud Desert.

He had finally escaped. This treasure hunt had been extremely perilous, but fortunately, the rewards were worth it.

The immediate task now was to find a way out of this strange desert. The Green Cloud Desert was vast, and Lin Xuan was new here. Finding an exit would be no easy feat.

But Lin Xuan wasn't in a rush. He had already passed through the Tribulation Stage, and his遁光 (transcendent light) was incredibly swift. To ordinary cultivators, it might as well be instantaneous teleportation. As long as he focused on one spot, he could fly out of here.

Wait, why should he leave so quickly?

While rescuing Qinxin from her predicament was the most pressing matter, since Miao Yin Immortal had already perished, there was no immediate danger to Qinxin for now. Keeping her at Tianshin Palace wasn't a problem either.

He needed to refine the treasures left behind by the True Immortal. The elixirs and talismans would be of great use to him, not to mention the puppets—countless puppets could rival the strength of major sects. Compared to flesh-and-blood cultivators, these creatures were fearless in battle, making them a significant asset.

The Azure Turtle Dragon Shield was an先天之物 (primordial treasure), and it needed to be refined with the Communication Treasure Technique.

In short, the treasures left behind by the True Immortal were of immense value. If he could make use of them, his strength would increase significantly from its current level.

Tianshin Palace was a formidable presence in the Spirit Realm, ranking among the top five.

Although Miao Yin had perished, taking Qinxin out of the sect wouldn't be easy. The affairs of the cultivation world were unpredictable, and he couldn't afford to be complacent. The unexpected could happen at any moment.

In summary, he mustn't underestimate his opponents. With more strength, he would have a better chance of rescuing Qinxin safely.

Considering this analysis, it was worth spending some time here.

No, this wasn't just wasting time.

Given the circumstances, it was a very wise choice—hardly anything could be lost and everything gained.

With these thoughts in mind, Lin Xuan began to search for an appropriate location.

...

From a normal perspective, deserts were barren wastelands. However, the Green Cloud Desert differed from ordinary ones; its aura of qi was rich, and it was a forbidden zone for life. Few cultivators dared to venture deep into its heart, except those at the Tribulation Stage or higher.

In other words, as long as he wasn't exceptionally unlucky, he wouldn't be disturbed here.

Lin Xuan released his divine sense, covering an area of several ten thousand miles. Soon, he found a suitable location.

Surrounded by green light, he flew toward it.

Soon, a desolate mountain came into view.

Although the mountain was described as desolate, there were still some low shrubs growing on its surface.

The aura of qi here was much denser than elsewhere.

Refining the treasures left behind by the True Immortal would be ideal in such an environment.

Lin Xuan's face showed satisfaction.

Aaah!

At this moment, a roar of a wild beast echoed through his ears.

Turning to follow the sound, Lin Xuan saw a creature with a dragon head and lion body.

Jiangzhu?

No, the aura didn't match.

Could it be an ancient beast?

There were some differences.

Several guesses flashed through his mind, but he paid no heed. Whatever it was, he would eliminate it.

The aura of this beast fluctuated between strong and weak; its exact cultivation stage remained unknown. But it couldn't possibly be at the Tribulation Stage. Lin Xuan flicked his sleeve, releasing several sword lights from within.

A strike by a cultivator at the Tribulation Stage was no small matter. Soon, he had eliminated the unknown beast.

Next, in the mountain's depths, he established a temporary cave and began refining the treasures left behind by the True Immortal.

Talismans didn't require special treatment; they could be driven with just a bit of magical force when needed.

As for the puppets, the True Immortal had also left items to control them. These required only slight ritual refinement before he could command them at will.

Over several days, Lin Xuan completed this task. All the puppets were now under his complete control.

After resting briefly, he turned to the Azure Turtle Dragon Shield for further processing.

Heaven treated him well; he had obtained a defensive先天之物 (primordial treasure). Such luck was something even a Loose Immortal or Demon King would envy.

Lin Xuan took deep breaths and infused his powerful divine sense into the treasure before him.

With multiple primordial treasures in his possession, refining them came naturally to him.

Soon, large characters appeared in his mind.

Communication Treasure Technique!

Lin Xuan began to contemplate it deeply.

As mentioned earlier, this Azure Turtle Dragon Shield was crafted by the True Immortal. The Communication Treasure Technique was created by the same person, with each character containing profound meanings that were difficult and obscure to understand.

Despite his high intelligence, Lin Xuan spent a full day only managing to grasp a small portion of it. He had merely understood the surface meaning without delving deeply into its essence.

The process proved far more challenging than expected, but he was delighted. The greater the obscurity, the more it indicated that this Azure Turtle Dragon Shield was extraordinary—perhaps one of the best among primordial treasures.

His luck truly seemed good this time.

With his joy, Lin Xuan didn't want to linger here any longer.

Thus, day and night, he focused on refining the technique without rest.

Time passed slowly.

Before he knew it, half a year had flown by.

"Phew!"

Lin Xuan finally raised his head after sitting in meditation for so long. He had devoted himself fully to understanding the Communication Treasure Technique, which was too obscure to grasp quickly.

Fortunately, he wasn't wasting his efforts; he had grasped the main points.

The next step would be straightforward.

In just a month, Lin Xuan achieved significant results. While he couldn't claim mastery, he could now use the Azure Turtle Dragon Shield at around 80% of its full power.

Its defensive capabilities were impressive and far exceeded his expectations, making all his efforts worthwhile.

After further practice to solidify his understanding, refining this treasure came to a close.

The only remaining item was the most mysterious immortal pill.

What kind of elixir was it? Lin Xuan didn't recognize it. It wasn't due to his limited knowledge; as an entity from the lower realm, he simply hadn't encountered many such items.

He named it the Nine Transformations Azure Spirit Pill. Its effects were unclear, but its value was unquestionable—it would surely benefit him greatly if consumed. (To be continued...)
