Chapter 55: Refining the Serpent's Mane
Becoming the holy son of the temple, Xiao Zhan seems to be extremely leisurely, now his spiritual power has not only recovered, but also greatly improved, all kinds of spells are as easy as drinking water, and it is naturally easy to teach the snake man the divine language. Of course, Xiao Zhan would not pass on the divine language to the snake man so easily, so he summoned Brigitte and let this snake girl who cultivated both martial arts and spells master the divine language, and then she was responsible for teaching it, so that he would be completely relaxed.
During the time he left the land of inheritance, Xiao Zhan often took a lot of time to talk with Zhan Xin and understand the secrets of Xuanwu, although he broke through and reached the level of the upper Xuanwu in one fell swoop, but after all, he was only a martial artist who had just set foot in Xuanwu, and he was extremely unfamiliar with this realm. And Zhan Xin was a saint martial artist, her understanding of Xuanwu must be far beyond ordinary people, and under her guidance, Xiao Zhan will definitely have to take a lot of detours, and he will naturally benefit a lot.
Regarding Xiao Zhan's desire for knowledge, Zhan Xin always knew everything and said everything, without the slightest reservation, which made him extremely moved. There are so many benefits to having such a powerful woman by her side, although she is not her own woman, Xiao Zhan is full of trust in her, and many things are not hidden from her.
The strongest thing in Xuanwu is the control of space, and to complete the control of space, the most critical step is the condensation of the cave. To condense the cave sky, the martial artist is required to master the principle of space, and when he reaches a certain realm, he can condense the cave sky, but Xiao Zhan's situation is very special, it can be said that this breakthrough to the Xuanwu and the condensation of the cave sky are all completed through the "symbiosis contract", and now he is not very clear about what the effect of his cave heaven is.
Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, Xiao Zhan found that his cultivation was like this every time, and he broke through inexplicably, although he had been worried about how to break through Xuanwu, but now that he had broken through, he found that he was at a loss, completely confused. Dong Tian and what abilities he has after breaking through can only be understood in the future, and now he needs to think about going to Dragon City to rescue the trapped women.
He was about to leave the territory of the Snake Clan, and there was a possibility that he would never return here, so Xiao Zhan decided to do something to prevent himself from leaving any regrets in the future.
As for what to do, it's actually very simple, this time in Spirit Snake City, he accidentally got two treasure maps, so that he is particularly attentive to the share in the snake clan, if he can get it, he will make up four copies, and then as long as he gets the share in the hands of the barbarians, he can get five copies.
According to Wu Dan, the treasure map is in the hands of the three major commanders, but that was 10,000 years ago, and it has nothing to do with the current three major commanders.
If it was really as he guessed, Xiao Zhan would not need to startle the snake and let anyone know the truth. Hidden treasures are generally hidden in the treasure house, Xiao Zhan, as the holy son of the snake clan, his rights and identity are supreme, it can be said that in this snake clan that has no true god, his identity is the highest, and it is easy to enter the treasure house, even if he sweeps away the things inside, no snake man will dare to say that he is not.
After the baptism, the temple returned to its former order, and before Xiao Zhan could find the high priest, the other party came to his dormitory first. The high priest was still dressed in a gold-rimmed robe, with a soft smile on her face, and when she saw Xiao Zhan, she immediately saluted: "I have seen His Highness the Holy Son." ”
Xiao Zhan waved his hand, his brows furrowed slightly, and said, "I don't know why the high priest came to find this Holy Son?"
The high priest said with a smile on his face: "This time is very busy, and my subordinates have not congratulated His Highness the Holy Son for breaking through to the upper Xuanwu in one fell swoop." ”
Xiao Zhan's eyes narrowed slightly: "Say, what's the matter, there's no need to beat around the bush." ”
The High Priest immediately nodded and smiled, "Since His Highness the Holy Son has broken through to the Upper Xuanwu Realm, presumably his spiritual power has fully recovered." ”
Xiao Zhan nodded and said: "The reason why this Holy Son's previous spiritual power was lost was entirely because of the breakthrough in the supply of Xuanwu, and this time he successfully advanced, and his spiritual power naturally recovered completely. ”
"That's good! That's good!"
The high priest said with a bright smile: "Now those priests are all learning the divine language with the Holy Son in the temple, but I didn't expect that so much time has passed, and they have not mastered the divine language, in vain I used to think that they were the most talented people of the snake clan, which is really a big disappointment." Now it seems that I can't count on them, but fortunately, His Highness the Holy Son has recovered his spiritual power, so he must be very new in refining the snake mane, right?"
Xiao Zhan nodded and said, "This is natural." ”
The high priest's smile became brighter and brighter, and said, "I wonder if His Highness the Holy Son can personally preside over a round of refining, so that those uncompetitive fellows can have a long experience, and maybe they can wake up suddenly, the hut was suddenly opened." ”
Xiao Zhan frowned, and then smiled slightly: "Refining the snake mane is just a gesture, the only thing that is a little troublesome is the preparation of the potion, last time this Holy Son has already issued a list, as long as the high priest can prepare the above materials one by one, this Holy Son can start refining immediately." ”
The high priest smiled brightly and said: "Holy Son, rest assured, after getting the list, my subordinates have ordered all the priests of the temple to prepare, and now everything is ready, only His Royal Highness the Holy Son needs to refine it himself." ”
Xiao Zhan didn't have the slightest nonsense, nodded and said, "Since that's the case, the high priest will lead the way." ”
Xiao Zhan was so refreshing, the high priest was naturally overjoyed, at this time she was very much looking forward to the process of refining the snake mane, with her attainments to see if she could quietly master it, then she could save countless troubles.
Xiao Zhan followed the high priest directly to the place in the temple that was specially used for refining potions, this is an independent palace, called the Medicine Palace, which is guarded by countless large arrays, if the large array is opened, the existence of this palace will not be seen from the outside at all. When Xiao Zhan stepped into it, he found that countless priests had been waiting for a long time, and it was obvious that the high priest had been preparing for this moment for a long time.
The layout of the medicine hall is not much different from the temple of the Yundian Snake Clan, the only difference is that there is no god tripod here. Xiao Zhan came to the big tripod that was ready to be used to refine the snake mane, looked at the big ding, and soon he shook his head and sighed: "Although the quality of this tripod has reached the level of an artifact, it is far from enough to be used to refine the snake mantle above the king level, at most it can only be used to refine the snake mane of the Xuan level, isn't there a better tripod in your temple?"
The high priest frowned and said, "The Divine Ding that the Snake Clan used to refine the snake mantle has been brought to Tianyuan by the Yundian Snake Clan, and this is already the best Divine Ding that our temple can take out." Speaking of this, her face was full of regret, the Xuan-level snake mantle was not too useful for their snake clan, after all, the strength of the Xuannu could reach the first Xuanwu at most, even if she had ten times the strength, the increase in strength was limited.
Xiao Zhan on the side shook his head and decided to take out his royal holy tripod, and suddenly saw a burst of blue light flash, and a brilliant big tripod appeared in the medicine hall out of thin air.
This is the Holy Ding, as soon as it appeared, the unique power belonging to the Holy Ding instantly enveloped the entire hall, one after another divine light fell, and the eyes of the onlookers of the snake people showed shocked expressions, and they almost fell to their knees.
"Hallow!"
The high priest beside Xiao Zhan exclaimed in amazement the moment he saw the dragon pattern ding.
Xiao Zhan ignored the snake people in the medicine hall who were still in a state of surprise, almost with a thought, all the materials that were ready flew up out of thin air, and they threw themselves into the dragon pattern tripod, and then the huge tripod shrank rapidly, turning into a palm-sized and falling into Xiao Zhan's hands.
The "Fire Hole" suddenly opened, and the terrifying flames began to burn Dading.
Now that Xiao Zhan's strength has reached the level of a high-ranking Xuanwu, the "Fire Technique" has naturally made a breakthrough, and the temperature of the flames inside can only be described as terrifying. The melting of the material is exponentially faster than it was at the beginning, and almost immediately visible to the naked eye, all the material begins to melt.
The elixir for refining the snake mane is naturally not just about smelting the material, Xiao Zhan began to chant a special refining incantation, which is chanting in the language of the gods, and one by one the mysterious heavenly sounds are turned into ancient fonts, shining with divine brilliance, communicating the great power of heaven and earth, and quickly integrating into the big ding.
Xiao Zhan found that this breakthrough allowed him to use the Divine Language without borrowing any means, although he had also refined the snake mane before, the spell he used was not a Divine Language, and the effect was naturally very different, so it could be said that it was not the same.
Every ancient snake text bloomed with a brilliant divine light, and as soon as it entered the Dragon Pattern Ding, it caused a violent reaction, and countless melted materials moved autonomously in an instant, and the refining of the potion began.
The refining process of the special refining of snake mane was surprisingly fast this time, and the quality was even more flawless, far surpassing the various potions refined by the clone Xiao Mei at the beginning.
The whole refining process went extremely smoothly, ending the refining of the potion, Xiao Zhan's "fire trick" for a while, withdrew the flames gushing from his palm, looked at the high priest who couldn't take his eyes off with a smile, and looked at him with a shocked face: "I don't know if the high priest has arranged the snake people who participated in the refining of the snake mane this time?"
The high priest quickly put away the shock in his heart, nodded and said, "I have been ready for a long time, I don't know which realm of snake mane the Holy Son is going to refine?"
Xiao Zhan said proudly: "Naturally, it is refining the emperor-level snake mane, even if the ordinary snake mane is refined, it will not be able to achieve the expected effect." ”
The high priest hesitated: "Now that the number of emperor-level snake people in our snake clan is limited, the most important thing is that each of them is in a high position, and it is difficult to use them to complete the refining of the first batch of snake mane. It's better to do this, after all, it's the first time for the Holy Son, so let's start with a simple one. ”
Xiao Zhan said angrily: "What is in a high position, if you don't trust this holy son, just say it." Hmph! The snake mane refined by the ancient snake mane refining method is not only no different from the normal snake man, after the refining is successful, the upper limit of their strength can instantly reach ten times that of the same level martial artist, there are so many benefits, these guys are unwilling, forget it, this time we will choose the king-level snake man. Speaking of this, he snorted coldly: "This Holy Son refines it with his own hands, since they have doubts, then this Holy Son doesn't force it, but next time you want to complete the refining of the snake mane, you can only come forward by your temple priest, this Holy Son is not interested in caring about them." ”
The high priest smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness, it's not that they doubt your ability, it's just that after all, for unknown things, everyone will have doubts and dare not risk their lives." ”
Xiao Zhan waved his hand violently and said, "Okay, call those snake people who want to refine the snake mane, this Holy Son is very nervous, but he doesn't have much time to waste here." ”
The High Priest sighed, and had no choice but to bring a group of snake people who had been prepared to be used as snake mane refining into the medicine hall.
This group of snake people are mainly Xuan-level, and only one snake man is king-level, seeing this, Xiao Zhan sneered, I don't believe in Young Master Ben, Young Master Ben will open your eyes later, and then you will come to ask Young Master Ben, and Young Master Ben is too lazy to dump you. His ability was questioned, Xiao Zhan was naturally unhappy, originally he wanted to show his hand when refining the snake mane this time, but now he decided to play bigger.
Under normal circumstances, snake people are difficult to evolve, whether they are male snake people or female snake people, they need the dedication of the opposite sex. In fact, Xiao Zhan already had a bold assumption in his heart, whether he needed male snake people or female snake people to dedicate, he needed their essence, and this essence could actually be regarded as a kind of vitality force. The evolution of snake people requires a large amount of life force, and under normal circumstances, this amount of life force is very difficult to obtain, and snake people can only rely on their instincts to supplement the opposite sex.
However, it was not a difficult thing for Xiao Zhan to provide a large amount of life force, because in the first card he opened, there was a spell that called life force, as long as it was cast, he could summon the purest life force in heaven and earth as a force for the snake man to evolve.
When the two spells are combined, Xiao Zhan can not only make the snake people who are refined become snakes, but also allow them to evolve, with such an ability to defy the sky, he doesn't believe that this group of snake people is not moved, let him drive him.
With a sneer, in order to create the most shocking effect, Xiao Zhan stretched out his hand and pointed at the weakest snake man in a group of snake people who were refined as snake mane. This is a very thin male snake man, he does not have the strong physique of a normal snake man at all, such a snake man was singled out, it seems that this group of snake people completely want to see his ability.
The male snake man who was selected by Xiao Zhan was excited and apprehensive, being able to become a snake mane indicated that his future would change, but as the first snake man to become a snake man, if he failed, what the consequences would be, he couldn't predict it at all. However, at this time, all the eyes in the medicine hall were focused on the male snake man, so that he had no way to retreat, and in the end he could only enter the Dragon Pattern Ding in fear.
The high priest on the side hurriedly spoke up: "Your Highness, I wonder if the other priests need the assistance of the rest of the priests to refine the snake mane?"
Xiao Zhan waved his hand violently and said, "No need, this Holy Son is enough to do it alone." ”
After saying that, he sat cross-legged and began to chant the serpentine mantra.
