Chapter 1389 - 1388: Nurturing an Incomplete Innate Spiritual Treasure

Very quickly, Zhang Bin and Lang Zi landed at the bottom of the Abyss.

Sure enough, there were numerous fist-sized caves.

Lang Zi didn't delay, led Zhang Bin into the deepest cave.

They quickly lurked through.

Gradually, they arrived at a cavern.

Purple Blossom was indeed here, wearing an expression of unease.

Upon seeing Lang Zi enter, it beamed with joy and leapt into Lang Zi's embrace, "Brother Zi, you've finally returned. I was sick with worry."

However, when she suddenly noticed Zhang Bin was also behind, her face changed drastically and she was about to flee from Lang Zi's embrace. But it was too late because Lang Zi held her tightly.

Moreover, Zhang Bin suddenly performed Swallowing Heaven in One Breath.

Swallowing both Purple Fire Spirits into his Fire-Attributed Dantian.

"Let go of me, let go of me..."

Purple Blossom's face was full of pain and despair, screaming desperately.

"Huahua, listen to me..."

Lang Zi loudly explained.

He went through the events once, and also spoke of Zhang Bin's genius...

Numerous elves also entered the fray, persuading in turns.

Finally, calming Purple Blossom down, she also signed a contract with Zhang Bin.

Becoming Zhang Bin's pet spirit.

Thus, Zhang Bin obtained two powerful pairs of Fire Spirits.

Namely, Lang Zi and Purple Blossom, Basketball and Green Rabbit.

As for the other six Qing Fire Sprites, Zhang Bin planned to use them for others' Foundation Establishment.

"Master, I want to eat a candy every day, they're so delicious."

After signing the contract, Purple Blossom began to act spoiled, delightfully eating a Top-grade spirit stone, said sweetly.

"Of course, you can have as much as you want."

Zhang Bin generously said.

"Yay... Master, you're really good to Huahua."

Purple Blossom cried out in immense excitement.

"By the way, Lang Zi, where's that piece of material you mentioned?"

Zhang Bin asked expectantly.

"Master, I'll take you there."

Purple Blossom answered ahead, flashed and flew out, leading the way.

Leaving this cavern, into a fork, finally reaching a dark-lit cave hall.

"This is the piece of material, very hard, even purple fire can't melt it."

Purple Blossom pointed at the pitch-black stone in the corner.

Zhang Bin walked over, widening his eyes to observe closely.

The stone appeared to grow from underground.

Resembling a lying ox.

Pitch-black, exuding an aura of indestructibility.

Zhang Bin flicked his fingernail against it, producing a crisp metallic sound.

"Excellent material."

Zhang Bin revealed a delighted expression.

He also took out the most sharp Tu Mo Jian, forcefully slashing at the ox's head.

Dong...

The sound of striking iron rang, sparks flew.

The ox's head remained intact, not a single mark left behind.

"Hiss..."

Zhang Bin gasped instantly, showing disbelief.

He knew his Tu Mo Jian, crafted by Qi Duo Tian Gong as an artifact embryo, with the second-level formation he set, was supremely sharp and hard.

Second Level Sharpness Formation, Second Level Diamond Array, Second Level Flying Array, Second Level Weight Increase Array...

With so many second-level formations overlapped, his Tu Mo Jian can cut treasure like mud.

Yet it can't even scratch this material?

What is this material?

How was it formed?

Zhang Bin took out Broken Sword, gently slicing it.

Then he found the Broken Sword indeed was a former Immortal Sword, terribly sharp.

It could indeed break open the lying ox, but still with difficulty.

"Heavens, this piece of material might rival Heavenly Treasures."

Zhang Bin was truly stunned, his face full of ecstasy.

He immediately began to dig like a madman.

Very quickly, he excavated the entire lying ox.

It was not connected to the rock below.

An entirely complete entity.

Also appeared artificially created.

Seemed to be an artifact embryo.

"Damn, who crafted this? To forge such a hard artifact embryo? Rivalling Innate Spiritual Treasures?" Zhang Bin was thoroughly shocked, "Perhaps this artifact embryo can hold many second-level formations, possibly turning it into a super potent Magical Treasure. Maybe even surpassing Imitation Spirit Treasures."

Thinking of this, Zhang Bin became extremely excited.

He tried to embrace the lying ox, intending to store it inside his Central Dantian.

But, despite exerting all his strength, he merely made the lying ox tremble slightly.

Meaning, given Zhang Bin's terrifying power, he couldn't lift this artifact embryo.

"How on earth was this lying ox formed? How can it be this heavy? Impossible."

Zhang Bin was utterly speechless, his face full of profound bewilderment.

Currently, his powerful strength could easily lift a mountain as high as Mount Everest.

Meaning this lying ox is far heavier than Mount Everest.

It's too astonishing.

And, even Purple Fire can't melt the lying ox.

Suggests it wasn't crafted by Mundane Realm cultivators.

"Maybe this is an incomplete Heavenly Treasure dug out from its nurturing place, then for unknown reasons, discarded here." Zhang Bin mused in his mind.

He genuinely didn't believe an Immortal Realm titan would toss an artifact embryo here for fun.

But, if the Phoenix Forbidden Zone once housed mighty races, it might be some powerful cultivator's handiwork, excavating an unformed Heavenly Treasure, finding they couldn't melt or craft it, couldn't use it as a weapon due to its weight, so dumped it here.

"Hehehe... This time, I've hit the jackpot. My luck is truly great."

Zhang Bin's extreme excitement showed on his face as intense joy.

Such a natural artifact embryo, arranging formations inside is daunting for ordinary cultivators.

Because the material is too hard, dense, and heavy, spiritual power can't penetrate it.

Thus unable to arrange formations inside.

However, since Zhang Bin cultivated Metal Attribute Cultivation Technique, mastered Metal Escape, he can arrange formations.

Because he can perform Metal Escape to enter and arrange.

"First, arrange a Second Level Scaling Array, then an Ownership Recognition Array, then a Second Level Weight Reduction Array..."

Zhang Bin calculated in his mind, he rapidly took out many Weight Reduction Talismans, pasted them onto the lying ox, finally storing it into his Central Dantian, then arranged a Teleportation Array there.

Soon teleported back to Thunder God Cave Heaven's Golden City Lord's Mansion.

This expedition of cultivation and treasure hunting in the Phoenix Forbidden Zone has come to a close.

Besides, he has reached a bottleneck in cultivation, unable to improve further.

Moreover, the Black Phoenix has awakened from its slumber, will not sleep again for ten years.

Thus, the Phoenix Forbidden Zone is very dangerous now.

No need for him to continue taking risks inside.

A single misstep with the Black Phoenix stealthily approaching would certainly result in his demise.

That's no joke.
