Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me
Chapter 249 - 249 238 Refining

249: Chapter 238: Refining 249: Chapter 238: Refining Not to mention other things, Jiang Chen had almost gathered all the materials required to craft the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan.

With a wave of Jiang Chen’s broad sleeves, a divine light flashed, and in front of him appeared the bodies of three gigantic birds.

These were indeed the body of the Peng Demon King, the young Fire Raven, and the carcass of the vulture.

These three, all at the level of Taiyi Golden Immortal, were the main materials Jiang Chen needed to craft the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan.

He would first experiment with materials of the Taiyi Golden Immortal level.

With the experience gained, it would be easier for him to craft with materials at the Taoist Master Level.

With this thought, Jiang Chen took out the Sun Divine Staff, releasing a dazzling Sun True Fire, and started to burn the bodies of the three divine birds on the ground.

Boom…

The Sun True Fire was blazing, stirring up layers of heatwaves and distorting the void.

The bodies of these three divine birds were directly melted, transformed into pure energy of Heaven and Earth, and refined into the feathers of the three birds using the Sun True Fire.

Humming…

When the fire disappeared, in front of Jiang Chen, three feathers about a foot long were floating in the air, brimming with radiant light and exuding astonishing pressure.

Although these three feathers were objects at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, the blood and essence of three Taiyi Golden Immortal had been refined into them, making them undergo a transformation.

In terms of power, they had already reached the level of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Collecting these three feathers, Jiang Chen turned his head and took out another resplendent feather.

This feather was a genuine treasure of the Great Luo.

It was given by a great monster from the Eastern Sea, a descendant of a Great Ancient Demon God.

He had shed this feather, hoping to win Jiang Chen’s favour.

With this feather, Jiang Chen now had four divine bird feathers.

He was still three short of the seven feathers needed to create the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan.

In Jiang Chen’s hand, there exactly were three feathers at the Taoist Master Level.

Would he use them?

Of course not!

Those four feathers were merely acquired, unlike the three innate feathers.

Using them to craft artifacts together would only lower their power, serving no other purpose.

Jiang Chen had big plans as he had to keep them and strive to collect seven innate feathers.

With this thought, Jiang Chen waved his sleeve and took out three more bird carcasses.

All three were Taiyi Golden Immortals, but not divine beasts, and they didn’t possess innate divine blood, hence their power was somewhat less than the previous three.

Nonetheless, although they lacked a bit, they were better than nothing.

It’s too bad that the Great Sun Buddha was still alive; otherwise, Jiang Chen could have used the Golden Crow’s feathers directly.

Such a pity that this head amongst the Five Buddhas of Buddhism was the only remaining Golden Crow in the Three Realms.

If he found out that Jiang Chen had designs on the Golden Crow, Jiang Chen would be in big trouble.

It would be hard for him even to survive!

…

With these distracting thoughts aside, Jiang Chen continued to wield the Sun Divine Staff, exhaling Sun True Fire, and using the flesh essence of the demon king to refine those three feathers.

In less than the time it takes for tea to steep, the fire gradually died out.

Three feet long feathers floated in front of Jiang Chen in the void, emitting a faint divine light.

“That’s enough!”

Seeing this, a hint of a smile appeared on Jiang Chen’s face.

He then took out the other four feathers he had refined before and began to weave them together with these three feathers using his supernatural power.

Soon, a fan of seven feathers, about a foot in size, appeared in his hand.

“Good job!”

As he held the Seven Birds Fan, Jiang Chen carefully examined it from left to right.

He couldn’t help but nod in satisfaction, expressing high satisfaction with his craftsmanship.

The method of crafting the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan might seem simple, but not that simple as it appeared.

The Seven Birds Fan in Jiang Chen’s hand was only a semi-finished product.

It didn’t have a complete form yet, as two steps were still needed.

The first step is to incorporate five types of innate divine fire.

Jiang Chen turned the fan in his hand, and threw it up in the sky, then began to fetch the innate divine fire.

Jiang Chen didn’t possess the innate divine fire used by Honjan Daizu, so he had to use other innate divine fire to replace it.

This fire was, naturally, the Sun True Fire.

With a wave of the Sun Divine Staff, a bunch of golden Sun True Fire was spewed towards the Seven Birds Fan in mid-air.

The dazzling fire blazed and hovered around the Seven Birds Fan, adding another streak of divine power to it.

Swoosh…

The Taichu Divine Sword appeared, swinging gently, it released an Innate Divine Fire which merged into the Seven Birds Fan.

“Go!” Jiang Chen lifted his hand, releasing an Innate Li Fire that flew towards the Seven Birds Fan.

Three out of the Five Fires have been crafted, two were still lacking.

With a thought, Jiang Chen again mobilized the Sun Divine Staff and saw it gradually changed as he mobilized his supernatural power.

A strand of black color emerged on the staff, simultaneously emanating an astonishing chill.

Characteristics of the Sun Divine Staff – Taiyin!

Boom…

As the chill intensified to its limit, a strand of black flame suddenly ascended from the body of the Sun Divine Staff.

In an instant, the surrounding temperature dropped by several times.

The chilling horror spread around and gradually formed a thick layer of ice on the ground.

The air emitted a cracking sound as if it was about to freeze.

Taiyin True Fire!

This black flame, termed the Taiyin True Fire, listed alongside the Sun True Fire in the top ten True Fires of the Prehistoric World.

The Seven Birds Fan, already ensnared by three fires, rotated once and swallowed the Taiyin True Fire.

The flame on its body changed from three types to four.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen altered his incantation and operated the Sun Divine Staff in a unique manner.

Immediately, the Sun Divine Staff changed again, changing its color from black to green, and a rich sense of vitality spread out.

Characteristics of the Sun Divine Staff – Wood!

After devouring the two top-tiered Innate Wood – Innate Kun Mu and Innate Jian Mu, the body of the Sun Divine Staff had accumulated a large amount of Innate Wood Source.

What Jiang Chen had to do now was to ignite these sources of Innate Wood, thereby generating a special Innate Divine Fire, Innate Jia Wood Divine Fire.

With destiny on his side, and as if there was divine help, these sources of Innate Wood ignited easily as he thought about it, transforming into Innate Jia Wood Divine Fire, which was absorbed by the Seven Birds Fan.

In this way, the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan was more than halfway complete.

Just one final step and it would be completely finished.

The Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan would have an innate seal on the front and an innate Tao decision on the back.

The last step would be to carve out these innate seals and Tao decisions.

Jiang Chen thought for a moment and concluded that with his cultivation at the Heavenly Human 8th Level, the innate seal and Tao decisions would be hardly effective even if he barely managed to carve them out.

Therefore, Jiang Chen chose to cheat!

With a thought, Jiang Chen completely drained all the mana in his body and shattered a thousand fairy stones, transforming them into a massive stream of innate spiritual energy that was then poured into the “Tao Mirror”.

Upon mentioning it, this was the first time Jiang Chen had used so much spiritual energy to activate the Tao Mirror.

Although this might not stimulate all its potential, this was definitely the maximum power Jiang Chen had managed to draw from it ever since he obtained the Tao Mirror.
