653: Chapter 229: Customized Offensive and Defensive Suit!

Yun Zhongzi thought on his way, but still couldn’t decide what Spiritual Treasure to give Li Ping’an.

It wasn’t because he had too many treasures that he couldn’t pick out the best.

It was purely because Li Ping’an’s Dao Realm was only at the level of True Immortal, and most of the powerful treasures Yun Zhongzi had required at least Golden Immortal Realm to unleash their potency.

Finding a few treasures that don’t require a Dao Realm, or those which lower Dao Realms could also bring out a certain power, was indeed not easy.

Yun Zhongzi was still troubled by this as he arrived above Dong’an City; as he was about to send Li Ping’an back to his residence, he finally made up his mind and asked with a smile,

“Ping’an, how many Spiritual Treasures do you have on you now?”

Li Ping’an bowed with his hands clasped and replied, “Back to Master, roughly three or four pieces.”

“That many?”

Huanglong couldn’t help but exclaim, then remembered that the Human Race excelled at Artifact Refining.

What they called Spiritual Treasures were different from the concept of those ancient Spiritual Treasures.

The former were usually Immortal Treasures that had developed a spirit;

The Spiritual Treasures of ancient times were generally more formidable.

—Although he did not possess many treasures, Huanglong had seen enough, for in ancient times, he was often beaten by these very treasures.

Yun Zhongzi said, “Take them all out, let your master have a look.”

“Yes.”

Li Ping’an did as told, first taking out the Xuanyuan Sword Token and the Xuanyuan Sword Sheath, hovering around him.

Yun Zhongzi glanced at them a few times and nodded slowly, commenting,

“This item possesses Dragon Qi nurtured by the Human Emperor and is made of a unique Spiritual Power gathered by the will of the Human Race.

Its power is quite impressive; the command can injure a Golden Immortal at full force, and the sheath can block a Golden Immortal’s attack when fully energized.

“However, since you are the Heavenly Emperor, it is better to draw a clear line between yourself and the Human Emperor sooner rather than later.

It is not advisable to use these two items too much.”

Li Ping’an then took out the Cangyue Bead and the Myriad Manifestation Chart.

Yun Zhongzi smiled and stroked his beard.

Li Ping’an took out the Subdue Mountain Seal, Soul-Cleaving Banner, and the Treasure Sword that Taoist Duobao previously gifted.

Yun Zhongzi took the Treasure Sword in his hand, pulled out the scabbard, and a wisp of light came forth from his fingertip.

The Treasure Sword gently hummed, revealing a faint shadow of a Jiaolong upon it; the Jiaolong coiled around the sword body, bowing its head to Yun Zhongzi in a sign of goodwill.

Yun Zhongzi gently shook his head, “Was this item gifted by an Intercepting Sect Immortal?”

“It was given by Uncle-Master Duobao.”

“Duobao should be called ‘Elder-Master,'” Yun Zhongzi reminded, “I joined the Chan Teaching relatively late.

It’s only because the Sect Hierarch held me in high regard that I was listed before the Twelve Golden Immortals.

Duobao is the first disciple of The Three Pure Ones, second only to the Great Mage later taken in by the Taiqing Sect Leader.

Apart from Immortal Weng of the South Pole, Duobao, and Xuan Du Da Fa Shi, you can call the others Uncle-Master.”

Li Ping’an showed a look of sudden realization.

So to say, the ranking of the second generation of the Three Teachings’ senior brothers became a lot clearer.

Xuan Du Da Fa Shi was first (ranked the highest by the teacher), Duobao was second (earliest to join the Three Pure Ones), and Guang Chengzi was third (in charge of the Chan Teaching’s affairs).

Yun Zhongzi flicked his finger, and the sword vibrated with the sound of dragon chants.

“This should be refined by Duobao, forcibly turning the soul of a ten-thousand-year-old Jiaolong into an Artifact Spirit, further enhanced with various other treasured materials.

Once you’ve fully refined it, it can unleash the Jiaolong to attack the enemy, quite powerful indeed.”

Yun Zhongzi said with a smile,

“Such treasures, the most famous is the Golden Jiaolong Scissors in the hands of the Sanxiao, they are two ancient Golden Jiaolongs subdued by Brother Zhao Gongming and Daoist Yun Xiao working together.

“Elder-Master Duobao has indeed taken great care to give you such a treasure for protection.

Even without using your immortal power, you can bring forth sixty percent of its might.

“Not bad, not bad.”

Next to him, Immortal Huanglong watched with envy, his hands tucked in his sleeves, muttering, “Elder-Master Duobao is a bit too stingy, he has so many treasures, reportedly even tens of thousands of Spiritual Treasures!

Why not give Ping’an a few hundred more?”

“Greedy for too many treasures is not good, enough to use is all that’s needed,” said Yun Zhongzi.

Yun Zhongzi beckoned for the Subdue Mountain Seal, weighed it in his hand, and said calmly,

“Keep this item to reward your subordinates.

This seal is for you.”

With that, Yun Zhongzi tossed the ‘Imitation Heaven-Overturning Seal,’ which Li Ping’an had used three times before, into Li Ping’an’s arms.

Then Yun Zhongzi called over the Soul-Cleaving Banner, gently shaking it in his hand.

The Artifact Spirit of the Soul-Cleaving Banner leaped out, continuously bowing to Yun Zhongzi.

Yun Zhongzi shook his head slightly, “This item is rather common.

Though the refining technique is clever, the quality of the treasures used is too low.

The power of a Spiritual Treasure is ultimately decided by the spirit and the material of the item…

Keep this for rewarding purposes.

Choose a few of these banners.”

Having said that, Yun Zhongzi, with a slow movement of his right hand and another of his left, summoned over twenty small banners, glowing in various colors, to appear before Li Ping’an.

Lines of confusion appeared on Li Ping’an’s forehead.

This?

All are Spiritual Treasures?

And all are top-grade Postnatal Banner-type Spiritual Treasures?

Even the seasoned Artifact Spirit of the Myriad Manifestation Chart explaining at the side, he soon found it overwhelming to look at.

Huanglong looked on, absolutely enthralled.

Yun Zhongzi commanded, “Manifest, Artifact Spirits.”

Small figures immediately jumped out from each of the banners.

—Those naturally created Artifact Spirits generally took the appearance of an Innate Dao Body.

Li Ping’an asked, “Master, are there any with particularly good protective effects?”

“Hmm, this set,” Yun Zhongzi flicked his finger, and five small triangular flags fell beside Li Ping’an.

The Imitation Innate Five Elements Banner.

The Five Elements Banners can be deployed individually, invoking the power of the Five Elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

They can also be deployed instantly to form the Five Elements Firmament-Set Array, borrowing the power of the Five Elements from the world to protect oneself.

The advantage is that they consume little mana, can be used for both offense and defense, and can serve as the array eyes for a Five Elements Array;

The disadvantage is that switching between offense and defense takes time and cannot be both offensive and defensive simultaneously.

Li Ping’an clasped his hands and smiled, “Thank you, Master, for bestowing the treasure.”

“Just this set?”

Yun Zhongzi laughed, “I have not yet fully understood the Innate Five Directions Banner.

Each of the Innate Five Directions Banners is an Innate supreme-grade Spiritual Treasure, each with infinite marvelous uses.

However, this set of Five Elements Banners will be enough for you up to the Great One Golden Immortal Realm.”
