Fang Qing, who was standing to the side, turned pale when she heard that the cultivation method she was practicing was like this. It was one thing for those who didn't have talent, since they couldn't cultivate to the middle level anyway, so this defect didn't matter. But she was very confident that she could cultivate to the middle level, and she didn't want to become an executioner.
Seeing Fang Qing's worries, Yi Shuihan said, "You don't need to worry about the cultivation method. Give me some time. I can probably improve the flaws by tomorrow. As long as you follow the new cultivation method, those things won't happen again. Moreover, you can also choose to cultivate the Daoist method I gave to your sect. In terms of future prospects, it is even better than this Pure Yuan Technique."
Chapter 696, Exploring the True Face of the Gem
"Thank you," Fang Qing said softly, her eyes filled with surprise as she looked at Yi Shuihan.
Nodding, Yi Shuihan turned his gaze to Li Xia, who was sitting on the ground with a pale face and lifeless eyes, looking miserable.
"kindness?"
Suddenly, Yi Shuihan frowned, because he noticed that Li Xia's life force was rapidly weakening, and if this continued, he would die soon.
When a person dies, it's like a lamp going out. What keeps the lamp burning is oil. For Li Xia, revenge and the revitalization of Chun Yuan were that oil. Now that oil has run out, he is surrounded by immense despair and has given up on life.
You can never wake someone who is pretending to be asleep, and similarly, no matter how skilled a doctor is, you can't save someone who wants to die.
Yi Shuihan could not bear to let Li Xia die in front of him.
He immediately walked up to Li Xia, gently pressed his hand on Li Xia's shoulder, and with a special technique, Li Xia closed his eyes and lay down instantly, while the weakening of his life force also stopped abruptly.
"Go to sleep! When you wake up, you'll find that everything is getting better."
The lost vitality cannot be replenished naturally, and Yi Shuihan is powerless to do anything about it. Fortunately, he also has a way to prolong his life, so this matter is just a minor issue for him.
"Is the Master okay?"
At this moment, Fang Qing asked with a worried expression. She was still very concerned about the sect leader who had always taken good care of her.
“It’s okay. When he wakes up, give him this to drink, and then we’ll go back. Of course, if you don’t plan to go back, I won’t force you.”
"No, I want to go back. This place is nice, but it's not where I should stay. Chun Yuan Sect is my home."
Fang Qing spoke with a very serious expression, which moved Yi Shuihan slightly. This child has a good heart; Li Xia has finally found a qualified successor for the Chun Yuan Sect.
Has Yang Xuan already left?
"Yes, the day you went to Zhou Tian Sect, he met his fellow disciples and stayed with them. Oh, and he asked me to thank you on his behalf."
"Do I even need someone to say thank you? Am I that scary?"
"Of course not, in my eyes you are the gentlest, the most handsome, the most..."
Fang Qing seemed to have endless things to say, but she stopped when she realized that Yi Shuihan had left the room. Looking at Li Xia on the ground, she thought for a moment, then carefully helped Li Xia onto the bed and quietly drifted off into a daze.
When Yi Shuihan saw Li Xia again, he was still the same, his life force waning. Yi Shuihan wondered if he would die soon.
Didn't you drink what I gave you?
"You mean this?" Li Xia took out the dragon blood, then smiled. "I'm almost in my coffin, so I shouldn't waste this stuff."
"Don't give it back to me. Since I've already given it away, I don't plan to keep it. Use it however you like. Its function is to extend an ordinary person's life by 20 years."
Li Xia was slightly taken aback, his eyes filled with gratitude as he looked at Yi Shuihan, and carefully put the things away.
That same day, the three of them embarked on their return journey again. Well, actually, it was mainly because Yi Shuihan wanted to protect the two of them; otherwise, given Yi Shuihan's speed, it would have been incredibly fast for him to get back.
Unbeknownst to Yi Shuihan, as they stepped into the misty and perilous place, at the same moment, a major event was also taking place in the Zhou Tian Sect: the Star Gate was reopened, Shi Tian began his journey of trials, and a new Star Lord was about to be born.
……
"Going back like this seems a bit...unreasonable!"
After leaving the East, Yi Shuihan did not immediately return to Xingcheng. His original mission was to find helpers, but he had come up empty-handed. Although no one would gossip if he went back like this, he felt it was somewhat inappropriate.
"Then let's make a few small things first, that way we'll have a reason to explain it."
They immediately decided to make some space magic items that the Justice League needed, just to practice their magic.
"By the way, perhaps I could also investigate what that gem actually is?"
He took out the gem he had brought from the Amazon from his personal space and examined it carefully in his palm.
The gemstone was about half the size of a fist, but it didn't emit any light at the moment, as if it were just an ordinary gemstone. However, Yi Shuihan, who clearly remembered the scene from back then, would not see it that way.
"Try using celestial energy."
He carefully channeled a little immortal energy into the gem, but received no response. Clearly, this was not what interested the gem.
"What about the power of time?"
He instantly entered a state of focus, allowing the power of time to envelop the gem. This time, it had some effect; the gem trembled slightly in his palm.
"This feeling is like dissatisfaction; it's rejecting this force."
This discovery gave Yi Shuihan a jolt of energy. He wasn't afraid of you reacting; he was afraid you wouldn't react at all.
"Being able to resist the power of time, this gem's origin may truly be extraordinary. Let's try its magic power again."
A wisp of magic entered the gem and was instantly absorbed—yes, absorbed, unlike the first time when there was no reaction and the second time when it was rejected.
"There's potential. Let's see how much you can absorb."
The output of magic power was increased, but unfortunately, the gem accepted all magic power, but that was all; no further changes occurred.
After transmitting magic for a full five minutes, Yi Shuihan had used up nearly half of his magic power, but nothing changed. Finally, Yi Shuihan realized that it was a futile effort and gave up transmitting magic power.
"That's true. This world also has magic. Some Amazons know magic. If magic really works, they wouldn't have failed to discover the gem's function."
Taking a slight breath, Yi Shuihan was also struggling to keep up with the full force of his magic.
"Now I'm increasingly eager to know your true nature. Celestial aura, the power of time, and magic are not what you desire. So what do you really need?"
Based on the changes the gemstone initially observed in him, the only certainty is that it resonated with something about Yi Shuihan; it couldn't possibly have changed without a reason.
Chapter 697, Lightning-type Main Godhood
"It couldn't possibly be that it sensed the system on my body, could it?"
In Yi Shuihan's opinion, this possibility was the least likely. After all, the system was hidden very deeply. If this gem could sense the system, its origin would be worth investigating. In any case, Yi Shuihan did not believe that his character was so good.
"I also possess an extremely powerful ability, and it's most likely this one."
The power of lightning tribulation, as an extremely heaven-defying ability, accounts for a significant portion of Yi Shuihan's strength.
With a thought, his supernatural power was activated. He didn't know if it was his imagination, but for a moment when he used his supernatural power, he felt like he was being watched by something.
"Buzz"
The gemstone began to vibrate violently, and its light burst forth instantly, recreating the scene of their first encounter with Yi Shuihan in the blink of an eye.
Gazing thoughtfully at the gem whose radiance was almost comparable to the sun, Yi Shuihan quietly sensed the changes, wanting to know what the gem's purpose was.
Suddenly, the gem transformed into a streak of light and rushed straight towards Yi Shuihan. Yi Shuihan was shocked and tried to dodge, even using his power to stop time. However, the gem was too fast, and the time-stopping technique was useless against it. In the end, it still entered Yi Shuihan's body.
"This is……"
He hurriedly checked his condition and saw the gem where his primordial spirit was. The light emitted by the gem was gradually absorbed by his primordial spirit, which began to grow stronger. The speed was not fast, but it was not slow either.
Yi Shuihan could sense that this change was beneficial to him and that it would not harm him, so he felt much more at ease.
"Holy Spirit, are you there?"
"Yes, is there something you need, host?"
"Look at my current situation, do you know where this gemstone came from?"
The brief silence suggested that the system was performing a scan.
Generally speaking, the system cannot do this kind of appraisal. Only Yi Shuihan himself can do it, or he can use the appraisal skills provided by the system. Obviously, this gem is of a high level. If Yi Shuihan wants to appraise it, he will need a higher level skill. Right now, he has neither cultivation points nor wants to take out a loan. Asking the system is just an attempt.
The system's response was slightly unexpected by Yi Shuihan. It seemed that it might actually provide an answer, which made Yi Shuihan somewhat hopeful.
"Ding, detection successful. One Thunder Godhead has been detected."
A divine personality of a supreme god! And of the lightning element?
"Is the Holy Spirit truly the divine personality of the supreme God?"
He asked again, still in disbelief. Even with Yi Shuihan's composure, it was difficult for him to remain calm at this moment.
"That's right, this is a lightning-type main god's divine spark. Although it's only the lowest-level lower-ranking main god's divine spark, host, you're really lucky."
A divine status is a wonderful thing; it is the crystallization of all the power of a god. It can be said that a god without a divine status is not a god, while with a divine status, even an ordinary person can become a god.
In Western pantheons, the power hierarchy is as follows: before the gods, there are lower gods, then middle gods, then upper gods, and finally the chief gods. Chief gods are further divided into three levels: lower, middle, and upper. Of course, some pantheons are also divided into categories such as weak power, weak divine power, medium divine power, and strong divine power.
Lower-level gods are equivalent to Silver 13 stars, mid-level gods to 46 stars, and upper-level gods to 79 stars. As for the main gods, they fall into the Gold category.
"If I refine this divine spark, wouldn't I be able to ascend to the heavens and become a powerful being of the Gold rank in one step?"
Having encountered such incredible good fortune, Yi Shuihan was extremely excited. However, he was not misled by the benefits brought by the main godhood and remained calm.
"The reason it only showed its difference when I appeared is probably because of the lightning tribulation divine power. The lightning-type godhood should be more or less related to this."
Yi Shuihan doesn't have a specific method for refining a divine spark, but with his level of cultivation, it's not impossible for him to refine one, although it will definitely take longer than using a specific method.
"We also need to consider the compatibility. A divine spark is good, but if it is not compatible with the user, it is useless. Although even if it is not compatible, it can still become very powerful after being refined, but it will affect the path ahead. After all, this divine spark is not formed by the user himself."
Sensing the compatibility between oneself and the divine essence is quite simple. Previously, I didn't know it was a divine essence and didn't think about it, which is why I didn't discover the true nature of this gem until now. Now that I know, everything makes sense.
Of course, in order to sense compatibility, you must first have compatibility with it. If the compatibility is zero, then you can't sense anything. At that time, if you want to use the divine spark, you can only use the special method of refining the divine spark directly.
The compatibility of a main godhead generally determines how much power it can exert after refinement. If the compatibility is zero, the level may even decrease. That is to say, it is not impossible for a lower-level main godhead with zero compatibility to exert only the power of a higher-level god after refinement.
Only when the compatibility is above 90% can the full power of the divine spark be unleashed after refinement.
"Let me see just how strong our connection really is."
Following the method he remembered, Yi Shuihan began to communicate with the main deity.
A moment later, Yi Shuihan's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and his expression became very strange.
"How could this be? How could a compatibility score exceeding 100% possibly occur?"
In fact, Yi Shuihan thought that his compatibility with this main godhead should be around 90%, which was already a very high percentage. Since it wasn't a godhead he had condensed himself, how could the compatibility exceed 100%? He had never dared to think about this before.
"Could something be wrong? Let's try again."
After testing it five times in a row, even Yi Shuihan, who couldn't believe it, could only admit to this absurd result: his compatibility with the main god had reached 5%.
"Doesn't that mean that by refining this divine spark, I can unleash 150 percent of its true master's strength?"
At this moment, Yi Shuihan even considered finding a place to refine the main godhead before emerging.
Chapter 698, Rabbit-shaped Artifact Spirit
"No, we have to wait and use this divine spark in the safest way. If we refine it now, we can certainly gain immense power in a short time, but we will be influenced by this power and unknowingly embark on the path of gods. I am currently cultivating the immortal path, which is not advantageous for me."
The solution wasn't difficult for Yi Shuihan; the system had a skill that could perfectly solve the problem. However, he currently lacked the cultivation points to materialize that skill.
Purchasing a skill from the system store is essentially the system helping to materialize a skill, and then allowing Yi Shuihan to obtain the power of that skill.
After placing the divine essence in his personal space and calming himself down, Yi Shuihan began to refine magical items.
"The basic structure of the world should be the same, otherwise these things wouldn't exist in different worlds."
The materials he used to craft magical items were not from the Harry Potter world, but rather local products of this world, and the quality of these local products seemed to be even better.
Crafting these low-level magical items is so easy that one could do it with their eyes closed, and one could multitask at the same time. However, in order to calm his mind, Yi Shuihan chose to concentrate fully this time. This time, even the members of the Justice League are in luck, because even the same thing can produce different results depending on the state of mind.
He didn't know how much time had passed, but when Yi Shuihan came to his senses, he was surrounded by finished magical props.
"not bad."
Satisfied, Yi Shuihan put everything away, relaxed his body, and took out the Demon-Slaying Spear.
The Demon-Slaying Spear is about 3 zhang long, which is not suitable for Yi Shuihan to use from an ergonomic point of view. However, this is the general situation. Good weapons can automatically adapt to their masters, rather than the masters adapting to them.
The spear is generally black, with some faint patterns visible on it, which should be magic patterns or divine patterns. With Yi Shuihan's level of skill, he can only roughly figure out its purpose.
"Everyone says that divine artifacts have spirits. I wonder if it has a spirit. If it does, then communication would be much simpler."
A powerful mental force began to invade the Demon-Slaying Spear. At first, it encountered some resistance. What might be difficult for others was easily overcome with just a little effort.
"It was really well hidden, but we finally found it."
It's not really a spirit, though. What Yi Shuihan saw didn't have full intelligence; it only had simple emotions, much like an ordinary animal.
Upon contact with his spiritual power, he discovered that the spirit of the divine spear had transformed into a blood-red rabbit. However, upon discovering Yi Shuihan, it immediately transformed into a blood wolf, baring its teeth and glaring at Yi Shuihan, as if issuing a warning.
Yi Shuihan could tell that, besides the warning, the other party also seemed somewhat excited.
Without provoking it, and by showing it kindness, the blood wolf slowly calmed down and eventually transformed back into the weak rabbit.
"Well, that's not surprising. A weapon that can destroy demons has a spirit that looks like a rabbit."
The spirit-transformed Yi Shuihan approached the Blood Rabbit step by step, finally standing before it. Just as he was about to make spiritual contact with the Blood Rabbit, a sudden change occurred.
