Sigh~

Zhao Yang sighed lightly, and after activating the Spirit Gathering Array, the little True Qi in his body was almost exhausted. However, looking at the Spirit Gathering Array in front of him, which had begun to continuously gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, he nodded unconsciously with satisfaction.

As soon as the Spirit Gathering Array was activated, the thirty-six jade plaques that existed as the base of the formation were completely fixed on the ground, as long as they were not forcibly removed with too much brute force, those jade plaques would not be moved by a few casual touches.

found a cushion and placed it on the ground in the Spirit Gathering Array, Zhao Yang immediately stepped into it, then sat cross-legged on the mat, closed his eyes, and began to cultivate the 'Mixed Yuan Five Elements Xuan Sutra'.

The Spirit Gathering Array had just been activated, and the effect was not so obvious, but after Zhao Yang started to operate the Qi cultivation method of the 'Mixed Yuan Five Elements Xuan Sutra', he still clearly felt that the aura of heaven and earth pouring into his body around him was much richer than when he cultivated in the past. A steady stream of heaven and earth spiritual qi poured into Zhao Yang's body, allowing Zhao Yang's depleted true qi to recover quickly.

Time passed imperceptibly, and the effect of the Spirit Gathering Array gradually became significant, Zhao Yang's body was already wrapped in a layer of rich heaven and earth aura, and with Zhao Yang's every breath, a huge amount of spiritual energy poured into his body. There was even a faint halo of five colors on the surface of his body, which was the manifestation of the colors of the five elements of aura.

Until about one o'clock in the morning in the middle of the night, Zhao Yang naturally stopped practicing. The true qi in his body had already returned to its peak state.

Slowly opening his eyes, Zhao Yang looked at the wisps of heaven and earth aura that were faintly visible in the darkness around his body, like light smoke and mist lingering around the Spirit Gathering Array, and couldn't help but show a look of satisfaction.

The two hours of cultivation just now had strengthened Zhao Yang's true qi a lot. With the assistance of this Spirit Gathering Array, the cultivation effect is at least two or three times higher than normal! This is extremely important to Zhao Yang. The aura of heaven and earth on the earth is thin, and if there is no other means to assist, it is almost impossible to cultivate to the tribulation period. You can only rely on some external means to assist your cultivation. And this Spirit Gathering Array is one of them.

However, at the moment, the Spirit Gathering Array arranged by Zhao Yang is only the lowest and most basic kind of Spirit Gathering Array. It was enough to use the thirty-six jade plaques as the base of the formation.

"If only there were some heavenly treasures that could make my cultivation rise to the late stage of the Qi Condensation Stage as soon as possible. As long as the True Qi is condensed into the True Yuan, then I can arrange a higher-level 'Five Elements Gathering Spirit Array'. The effect of converging aura is more than ten times that of an ordinary aura gathering array! ”

Zhao Yang muttered to himself. The 'Five Elements Spirit Gathering Array' he mentioned can be regarded as an intermediate spirit gathering formation, and it needs to be cultivated to reach the late stage of Qi Condensation, and it can only be activated if he has the True Yuan. Moreover, the formation base required for the formation is one hundred and eight, and a treasure is also needed as the core formation eye. This is also a significant difference between the primary formation and the intermediate and above formations. Most of the primary formations do not need the formation eye as the core of the entire formation, while the formation above the intermediate level must have a core formation eye to operate.

Getting up and stepping out of the Spirit Gathering Array, Zhao Yang looked at the Spirit Gathering Array on the ground that continued to gather the surrounding heaven and earth aura, exuding a faint halo in the darkness, and couldn't help but walk to the side of the bed, and took out the 'Millennium Wood Heart' from the bedside table.

This section of the 'Millennium Wood Heart' contains a huge amount of wood aura, if it is refined to assist his own cultivation, it will definitely be able to make Zhao Yang's cultivation progress by leaps and bounds, and even if he steps into the late stage of condensation in a short period of time, it may not be impossible.

However, Zhao Yang did not intend to do so. In addition to his true qi, he can be described as poor and white now. This section of the 'Millennium Wood Heart' can be refined into a magic weapon, and its effect is far better than directly refining the aura in it to improve cultivation.

For refining, Zhao Yang can be called a master-level figure. Among the many auxiliary means of cultivators, Zhao Yang was most proficient in refining weapons and talisman seals, followed by formations and alchemy.

If the refining of the magic weapon is normal, it needs to be tempered with real fire, and then the formation or rune seal is engraved in the magic weapon during the refining process. The more powerful and advanced the magic weapon, the more complex and numerous the formations and sigils engraved inside.

However, not all materials can withstand those powerful formations and runes. If the engraved formation or rune seal exceeds the bearing limit of the artifact material itself, it will directly cause the artifact to explode and become a pile of waste.

Holding the 'Millennium Wood Heart', Zhao Yang sat down on the cushion in the Spirit Gathering Array again.

His current cultivation is only in the early stage of condensation, and his body has just condensed his true qi, and he is still too far from the 'Jindan Period' that can stimulate true fire, and if he wants to refine the magic weapon, he can only rely on water milling, first combing the internal veins of the 'Thousand Year Wood Heart' with True Qi, and then slowly inscribe the formation or rune seal in the 'Thousand Year Wood Heart', and at the same time use the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi gathered by the Spirit Gathering Array to cultivate the 'Thousand Year Mu Heart'.

This is the usual means used by cultivators below the Jindan stage to refine magic weapons. If there is no true fire, it takes a lot of time to slowly carve the magic weapon with true qi or true yuan, and engrave the formation and rune seal on the magic weapon little by little, and then find a 'spiritual acupoint' with a strong spiritual energy of heaven and earth to nourish the magic weapon.

Now Zhao Yang couldn't find any spirit caves, so he could only rely on the Spirit Gathering Array. Although the effect of the Spirit Gathering Array he was currently arranging was far inferior to the spirit caves generated by Heaven and Earth, it was better than nothing.

Moreover, he was unable to stimulate the true fire, and he had no other materials to melt into the 'Thousand Year Wood Heart', and he could only refine the lowest level 'mortal-level' magic weapon.

With Zhao Yang's current cultivation, he can only freely urge the 'mortal-level' magic weapon, and if he changes to a higher-level 'treasure weapon' or even a spiritual weapon, Zhao Yang will not be able to urge it. One is that the ability is insufficient, and the other is that there is not enough true qi, you must know that the more advanced the magic weapon, the greater the energy required to activate.

With the bit of true qi that Zhao Yang had just broken through the condensation period, he was afraid that he would be able to collapse in less than three breaths after urging the treasure weapon. Not to mention spiritual weapons.

The 'Millennium Wooden Heart' in Zhao Yang's hand was only the thickness of a baby's arm, nearly a foot long, just enough to refine a small wooden magic sword.

Sitting in the Spirit Gathering Array, Zhao Yang took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and then began to urge the true qi to enter the 'Millennium Wood Heart' in his hand, and began to take the first step to sort out the veins in the 'Thousand Year Wood Heart'.

This process is roughly the same as Zhao Yang's previous combing of the internal veins of those jades. It's just that the internal veins of the thousand-year-old wooden heart, which is a 'treasure of heaven and earth', are far more complex than ordinary jade, and it is not possible to complete the veins overnight.

Fortunately, now Zhao Yang is not so eager to refine this magic weapon. Slowly refining every day, spending some effort, you can always refine it.
