A red hand?

Mingshi Yin and Little Yuaner were puzzled by this. They looked at their master who was deep in thought.

Lu Zhou kept nodding and shaking his head. After pondering for a moment, he said, Youre dismissed.

Yes, master

Yes, master

The two of them left obediently.

Lu Zhou did not think it was prudent to have them around. After all, he did not know what was in the box. If it turned out to be something wonderful, it might be awkward if they saw it. He brought the box into the hidden chamber.

Inside the hidden chamber.

Lu Zhou waved his arm casually. The box landed on the floor. He glanced at the system dashboard.

Amorous Hoop.

Ye Tianxins Amorous Hoop floated before him. It was glowing faintly.

A weapon that had acknowledged its master and activated its grade was clearly extraordinary even without any Primal Qi activating it.

Lu Zhou wielded the Amorous Hoop with his energy. He guided it into the groove on the box.

Clack!

The sound of something being triggered rang in the air.

A groove appeared before the box split in half. The two halves slid to the sides.

Ding! You have successfully unlocked the mysterious treasure box. Reward: 1,000 merit points.

Obtained items: Ji Tiandaos Peak Trial Card x1, Nirvana Sash, Refining Talisman x3, Six Recombinant Trigram Lines.

Lu Zhou was taken aback. Since he transmigrated here, his heart had grown numb to emotions. However, he felt a slight excitement at this moment.

Ji Tiandaos Peak Trial Card! Even if it only lasts for 30 minutes, this is still a terrifying ace up my sleeve! After all that bad luck, it seems like Ive finally hit the jackpot!

This was much more exciting than obtaining a double Warglaive of Azzinoth in World of Warcraft! Perhaps, Lu Zhou had completely immersed himself in this character, his excitement was much more subdued compared to what he would have felt in his previous life.

Lu Zhou stared at the Ji Tiandaos Peak Trial Card for a long time. When he finally calmed down, he muttered to himself, I should learn from my mistakes and not use this unless its absolutely necessary.

Then, he turned to look at the other items. Nirvana Sash?

Dormant weapon, Nirvana Sash. Suggested owner: Ci Yuaner.

He had never seen a weapon like this before. Hence, he did not know what to think about the Nirvana Sash. However, since it belonged to his disciple, it was meaningless for him to keep it. It was a piece of cloth, it would be awkward for him to wield it. A mans weapon should be more masculine. This was good, he no longer had to fret about finding a weapon for Yuaner.

Refining Talisman. Can be used to refine heaven, earth, mystic, and yellow-grade weapons that have already recognized their owners.

Refining weapons had always been a difficult task in the cultivation world. Those who killed for weapons would be troubled if the weapons they obtained were those that had already recognized their masters. A weapon that had recognized its owner usually had very high compatibilities with its original owner. If another cultivator wanted to break this bond and forge a new bond, they would have to refine the weapon.

The conditions for refinement were strict. It required the cultivators Primal Qi as the fire to re-forge it and a special energy stone used specifically for refining weapons. The energy stone would improve the weapons qualities, which, naturally, meant that they were rare and precious.

Not bad.

Lu Zhou suddenly recalled the heaven-grade weapon, the Life Cutter, that Mingshi Yin retrieved after killing Zhang Qiuchi. If he did not have the Refining Talisman, the Life Cutter would only be a mystic-grade weapon. If it was refined again and recognized a new master, it would become a heaven-grade weapon.

Life Cutter!

Life Cutter hovered before Lu Zhou. At the same time, a Refining Talisman appeared in his hand. With just a thought, the Refining Talisman released a faint fiery-red glow in the space half a meter before him. It was as if tongues of flames were wrapping themselves around the hovering Life Cutter. This unique flame burned Life Cutter until it was completely red and sizzling hot.

Lu Zhou was slightly surprised by this. He had Ji Tiandaos memories so he was quite knowledgeable. However, he did not recall seeing any refinement method that employed this kind of flame in his memories.

Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!

Life Cutter seemed like it was about to melt. The Refining Talisman among the flames released some energy to maintain Life Cutters shape.

Lu Zhou was just wondering how long this process would take when

Ding! Refinement complete. Obtained a dormant weapon, Life Cutter.

Its done?

The speed of refinement exceeded Lu Zhous expectations. Usually, refining a heaven-grade weapon again would take half a year to five years. This was discounting the time required to prepare the necessary materials. However, he had easily refined the weapon with the Refining Talisman. It was only natural for him to feel shocked.

Life Cutter was still hovering in midair. It was completely red now. However, as it cooled down, only a fiery-red tinge remained. Well, it seemed like there was no need to plunge it into a bucket of water.

Lets leave it be for now Since Lu Zhou had Unnamed, a weapon that could morph into any shape he liked, he was not overly interested in other weapons. He waved an arm and recalled Life Cutter.

Lu Zhou had used a Refining Talisman so he was currently left with two.

Lu Zhou turned his attention to the final reward from the treasure box. Six Recombinant Trigram Lines

This avatar was sold for 12,000 merit points. However, he bought the mysterious box for 2,000 merit points! This was a good deal.

Lu Zhou equipped the Six Recombinant Trigram Lines without hesitation.

The Six Recombinant Trigram Lines avatar was an important symbol of maturity of a Brahman Sea cultivators cultivation base. It was a sign that the cultivator had moved past stabilizing their cultivation base.

This meant that Lu Zhou could channel his Primal Qi through his Extraordinary Eight Meridians now.

Lu Zhous eight meridians had already been connected. Therefore, when the Six Recombinant Trigram Lines released its power, it immediately raised his cultivation base to the corresponding level. Previously, he was in the pre-Brahman Sea Eight Meridians stage. Now, he was a true cultivator with all Brahman Sea Eight Meridians connected.

While Lu Zhou was improving his cultivation base, there was a slight disturbance in the Evil Sky Pavilion.

Little Yuaner and Mingshi Yin had sensed Primal Qi from the hidden chamber.

Mingshi Yin was wiser now. He smiled faintly. Little Junior Sister, theres no need to check Master must be trying out some other cultivation methods from another sect.

Little Yuaner blinked and asked, Cultivation methods from another sect?

When someone connected their eight meridians previously, I thought there was an intruder Fortunately, my only punishment was being sent to the Cave of Reflection Master is cultivating a cultivation method from another sect. This disturbance is only at the Brahman Sea realm, at most.

Oh. Little Yuaner nodded.

Dont forget Zuo Xinchan was sent to the Western Paradise by masters Buddhist technique, the Fearless Seal, Mingshi Yin said in a voice laden with awe.

Youve got a point, Fourth Senior Brother. I should go and cultivate Little Yuaner felt that she was too lazy sometimes. Even her master was working hard despite his old age. On the contrary, she spent her days idling away.

Little Junior Sister, the path of cultivation is long, and you shouldnt rush things. You have a rare talent. Who knows, your seniors might need your protection in the future, Mingshi Yin said teasingly.

Little Yuaner giggled, clearly pleased with the compliment. However, her face turned solemn, and she said with a scoff, I wont protect you all! When she finished speaking, she turned and ran away.

Mingshi Yin scratched his head and wondered to himself. He treated his little junior sister well enough, and he had not offended her. Why was she treating him with this kind of attitude?

At this moment, Zhao Yue hurried into the great hall.

Fourth Senior Brother, theres a disturbance in Tangzi Town. It seems like someones trying to oppose us.
