Mortal: I am the young sect master of the Thousand Illusions Sect

Chapter 5 Illusory Mist Spirit and Demon Refining Pot

Three days later, in the quiet room, Su Mixin opened her eyes.

At this moment, he had already completed more than ten cycles of meditation, and his cultivation, which had just broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, had become slightly more stable.

Su Mixin slowly stood up. He finally had time to sort out the gains from the Illusionary Mist Heavenly Pool.

Before breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage that day, he felt his spiritual body undergo a transformation and evolution, progressing further from the 'Thousand Illusion Spiritual Body' to cultivate some kind of unknown spiritual body, and he also felt that he had awakened some kind of innate divine power that a spiritual body possesses.

"After the wind, record and analyze the changes after I used my supernatural powers."

"Understood, Master."

Su Mixin calmed her mind and, following the innate instincts emanating from the depths of her bloodline, slowly activated the spiritual essence within her body.

next moment.

A layer of illusory light rippled out from beneath his skin, and as the light shifted, his flesh and blood body, including his clothes, began to rapidly become ethereal.

In the blink of an eye, the tall and straight-backed boy had vanished, replaced by a soft, hazy white mist.

The white mist floated slowly, without a fixed shape, and its aura was extremely restrained, as if it had merged with the surrounding world.

As Su Mixin's thoughts changed, the white mist constantly shifted its shape.

Furthermore, when Su Mixin sensed her surroundings, she clearly felt that the range of her divine sense had expanded by 50%.

A moment later, Su Mixin returned to her human form.

He probed the ring on his right finger with his divine sense and instructed, "Feng Hou, report the analysis results."

A clear, cold voice rang out: "Reporting to Master, according to the scan analysis, the following changes occurred after Master used his supernatural powers."

"First, the master changes into a mist-like form, its size changing at will."

Second, it is completely immune to physical attacks.

"Third, it weakens most spell damage, but it actually has a weakness bonus against fire damage."

"Fourth, after changing into a mist-like form, the master's spiritual sense expanded by about 1.55 times."

"Fifth, it has a strong ability to conceal its presence, requiring the master to have ten times the normal level of spiritual awareness to detect it."

After listening, Su Mixin nodded in satisfaction. This mist-transforming technique was quite remarkable, not only enhancing her ability to protect herself but also increasing her ability to deal with complex situations.

In terms of concealing his aura alone, ten times the divine sense would require someone a whole realm higher to possess. This means that when he transforms into mist and hides, someone a whole realm higher than him would be needed to detect him.

As for the weakness to fire damage, that's understandable; we can look for treasures that address that weakness in the future.

"Let's call this spirit body the Illusionary Mist Spirit Body. It's a step up from the Thousand Illusion Spirit Body. It will soon change its cultivation method and start practicing the Great Luo Thousand Illusion Technique. With the boost from the spirit body, its cultivation speed alone will probably be no less than that of a Heavenly Spirit Root."

"Furthermore, it also enhances the use of illusionary magic. If the 'Du Dong' in the original story possessed this spiritual body, would he still have been easily seen through and detected by Song Yu, who was at the same level?"

Su Mixin was very disdainful of Du Dong's performance in the original work.

After trying out her spiritual powers, Su Mixin sat down cross-legged and instructed Feng Hou to monitor the surroundings using the live point map. Then, she made contact with the Tongtian Jianmu space with her consciousness.

After obtaining Feng Hou, Su Mixin conducted a test. When her consciousness entered the Tongtian Jianmu space, her physical body in the real world still existed, maintaining a meditative state, with the time flow rate being the same as that in the Tongtian Jianmu space.

He estimated that the body in the Tongtian Jianmu space was just an illusion.

In just a moment, her mind was drawn into the space of the Tongtian Jianmu tree. The first thing Su Mixin did upon opening her eyes in the space was to look at the stone axe on the stone platform.

Sure enough, it was now emitting a bright green glow.

He decisively stepped forward, picked up the stone axe, and went to the side of the Jianmu tree.

He once again channeled all his strength into a single axe strike, and as the fourth axe mark appeared, a burst of golden light shot out.

The stone axe was retrieved, and the wounds on the Jianmu tree that had been cut quickly scabbed over.

Su Mixin reached out and touched the golden ball of light floating in front of her. The next moment, the golden light dissipated, revealing a small ceramic pot with a curved spout inside.

This porcelain teapot is exquisitely crafted, with various animal patterns, including birds and beasts, engraved on its surface, all rendered with remarkable lifelike detail.

At the same moment, information about the pot appeared in Su Mixin's mind.

The Demon-Refining Pot—from a fantasy Xianxia game world.

Function: Absorbing the complete corpse of a demon beast can refine it into Demon Essence Liquid. This spiritual liquid can help cultivators improve their cultivation. If the demon soul in the demon beast corpse has not dissipated, it can be refined into Demon Soul Pill, which can help cultivators improve their spiritual sense.

Features: The pot contains unlimited space, capable of storing a large number of demon beast corpses or refined pills; no other objects can be placed inside. The quality of the refined pills varies depending on the demon beast's cultivation level; low-grade pills are ineffective against cultivators.

Su Mixin remembered that the "Demon Refining Pot" first appeared in a single-player fantasy game called "Xuan-Yuan Sword" in her previous life. Many subsequent works referenced it. However, based on its localized features, it is no longer possible to accurately deduce its origin.

Su Mixin was very satisfied with the Demon Refining Pot given to her by the Tongtian Jianmu. Cultivation relies entirely on the four aspects of "wealth, companions, methods, and land," with "wealth" being the first, referring to cultivation resources.

Why was Han Laomo able to form a Nascent Soul at over 210 years old with a pseudo-spiritual root in the original work? It was all thanks to the heaven-defying Palm Heaven Bottle, which ensured he had no shortage of cultivation resources.

It should be noted that in the cultivation world of the Chaotic Star Sea, cultivation resources are extremely difficult to obtain after reaching the Golden Core stage. Golden Core stage demonic beasts are hard to hunt, and spiritual herbs that are hundreds of years old or older are even harder to find.

In the Tiannan cultivation world, once one reaches the Foundation Establishment stage, it becomes impossible to obtain cultivation resources on the market. Those Foundation Establishment stage cultivation pills can only be obtained through private trade fairs or even auctions.

The root cause of this phenomenon lies in the lack of demon beast resources in the Tiannan cultivation world, while the main ingredients for refining pills used in Foundation Establishment stage cultivation all require several decades of age, and those for Golden Core stage require hundreds of years of age, while those for Nascent Soul stage often require at least a thousand years of age.

The appearance of the Demon Refining Pot greatly helped Su Mixin solve this resource problem. It should be noted that even the young sect master of the Thousand Illusions Sect, after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, could not have the same level of pill resources as Han Li.

"It seems that the teleportation array to the Chaotic Star Sea should be my top priority."

Su Mixin had a vague plan for her upcoming cultivation.

"Han Li is currently twenty-three years old, which is several years away from the age of twenty-nine when he discovered the teleportation array. Moreover, we need to hurry up and make friends with the array genius Xin Ruyin."

Half a month later, Su Mixin had initially consolidated his cultivation, so he came out of seclusion and went to the Milian Palace to see his parents. He needed to change his cultivation method.

After exchanging pleasantries in the pavilion in the back garden for a while, Su Mixin reported to the other two about the Illusionary Mist Spirit Body.

Su Yunluo nodded and said, "This Thousand Illusion Spirit Body can actually advance. Your name, Illusionary Mist Spirit Body, is quite fitting. In the future, your cultivation of the 'Great Luo Thousand Illusion Technique' will definitely progress by leaps and bounds."

He took out a jade slip from his storage bag and handed it to Su Mixin, saying, "This is the complete 'Great Luo Thousand Illusions Technique.' Only one copy is kept in the sect's secret location. I keep one copy. This is a copy. You can destroy it after you've finished reading it."

Su Mixin accepted the jade slip and said, "Thank you, Father."

Ye Xinlian then handed over a storage bag and said, "Mi Xin, you have already reached the Foundation Establishment stage. You will definitely be going out to train in the future. Here are some life-saving treasures and magic weapons that I prepared for you as a congratulatory gift for your Foundation Establishment."

After saying that, he glanced at Su Yunluo.

Seeing this, Su Yunluo smiled helplessly, took out a storage bag and handed it to Su Mixin, then said, "There is a Heart-Shaped Bracelet in here. In a moment of crisis, activating it can teleport you back to the other Heart-Shaped Bracelet, which is next to your mother."

Su Yunluo's tone revealed a hint of reluctance, "These love bracelets are a token of love between your mother and me. I'm only lending them to you temporarily. You'll need to return them to me when you're strong enough to protect yourself."

Ye Xinlian blushed slightly and slapped Su Yunluo.

Su Mi happily accepted it, smiling broadly.

Now, with a live map that can detect thirty times the range of his own divine sense, a Hearthstone for fixed-point teleportation, a phantom mist spirit body, and the Great Luo Thousand Illusion Technique for concealing his aura, plus various life-saving treasures, is Han Paopao as tough as himself?

After chatting for a while, Su Mixin prepared to leave. Before she left, Su Yunluo reminded her, "Go see your senior brother later. He said he has a gift for you to congratulate you on breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage."

Su Mixin nodded and said she understood, then returned to her Mixin Palace.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the Mi Xin Hall, he was surprised to find a communication talisman floating outside the door. Upon picking it up, he discovered that it was indeed his senior brother inviting him to meet at his Linghuan Palace.

Upon entering the quiet room, Su Mixin took out the two storage bags given to her by her parents and began to take stock of them.

Before reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, he had never planned to leave the sect's territory, so apart from a high-grade flying magic artifact disc, he had never acquired or refined any other magic artifacts.

His parents anticipated that he would need to go out and gain experience, so they prepared several magical artifacts for him.

First, his mother, Ye Xinlian, prepared the following: a storage bag containing three magical artifacts, a jade slip, more than a dozen bottles of pills, a set of array plates with eight array flags, three talismans, and two boxes of spirit stones.

The jade slip contains descriptions of several magical artifacts and elixirs.

The first magical artifact is a black, shuttle-shaped attack artifact called the Nine Mysterious Sword Shuttle. This artifact is very exquisite and mysterious. It can be disassembled into a mother sword and eight son swords, totaling nine flying swords, or it can be combined together to form a flying shuttle. It is a rare set of magical artifacts, with powerful and unpredictable attack methods.

The second magical artifact is a round blue shield that is clear and shimmers with a faint watery light. It is called the Blue Nether Shield. The shield has a cool, dark blue luster, ancient and concise patterns, and a heavy and steady aura. It is clear at a glance that it has amazing defensive power.

The main materials of this magical artifact are Azure Iron and Frosty Ice. Azure Iron is an ice-attribute spiritual material known for its sturdiness, while Frosty Ice is even more precious and is often used as the main material for magical treasures, making it even more valuable than materials like Iron Essence.

The third magical artifact is an outer robe with a white silk base sewn together and decorated with gold cloud patterns. It is called the Gilded Cloud Silk Robe. In addition to having the characteristics of ordinary magical robes such as dustproof, waterproof and fireproof, its greatest function is that it can be triggered to release an active defensive magic shield to avoid being ambushed.

These three items are all top-tier, top-grade magic artifacts. If they were put up for auction, they would probably cost at least several thousand spirit stones. The Blue Nether Shield, in particular, is worth at least as much as a magic treasure in terms of materials alone.

"Any one of these items is more valuable than the set of Red Thread Escape Needles that Old Devil Han bought years later," Su Mixin thought to herself.

The dozen or so bottles of pills were all auxiliary pills that could help Foundation Establishment cultivators increase their cultivation level. These dozen or so bottles alone would probably take three or four years to finish.

As the young sect leader of the Thousand Illusions Sect, he didn't even need to worry about anything personally. Every month, disciples from the sect would send his monthly salary to the Mi Xin Palace, which included pills.

However, even as the young master of a sect, once he reached the Foundation Establishment stage, he couldn't rely solely on his monthly salary to eat elixirs like Han the Old Demon. Therefore, his parents secretly provided him with more support in this regard.

The formation is called the Eight Gates Locking Mist Formation, which is an extremely powerful illusion and trapping formation. Su Mixin set it up according to the instructions in the jade slip, and its power was enough to deal with ordinary Golden Core cultivators. It was very powerful.

Ye Xinlian herself is a master of formations, and this formation was created by her.

All three talismans are teleportation talismans, each capable of randomly teleporting a distance of a hundred miles. Using just one is enough to reach the spiritual consciousness boundary of an ordinary early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

Such life-saving artifacts are now basically lost in the cultivation world of Tiannan. The three that Ye Xinlian gave to Su Mixin are extremely precious and priceless. Even the Thousand Illusions Sect would keep them at the bottom of their treasure chest.

Su Mixin was extremely surprised and heartwarming when she saw the three teleportation talismans. Parents love their children and plan far ahead for them.

The last two boxes of spirit stones, one large and one small, contained a total of ten thousand low-grade spirit stones in the large box and four hundred mid-grade spirit stones in the small box.

This is an enormous fortune for an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator, and for an ordinary Golden Core cultivator, it represents the value of their entire fortune.

In fact, over the past ten years, he has accumulated nearly 30,000 low-grade spirit stones with his monthly salary and gifts from his elders, truly deserving of the title of a top-tier rich second-generation in Tiannan.

Then, upon checking the storage bag given to him by his father, Su Yunluo, he found that it contained far fewer items.

First is a jade bracelet, the previously mentioned Concentric Bracelet, a spatial treasure that requires essence blood to refine. It comes in a pair, and the owners can teleport to each other. However, each use will consume a lot of essence blood, and it is mainly used for survival.

There is also a mirror-like ritual object, which is white in color and has a shimmering, illusory light emanating from its surface.

Su Mixin was also surprised to see this treasure. Su Yunluo was known as True Lord Miluo, and his signature natal magic weapon was the top-level magic weapon Miluo Illusion Mirror, which was recorded in the "Great Luo Thousand Illusion Technique".

This is a replica of the Miro Illusion Mirror. Although its power is far less than Su Yunluo's natal magic weapon, when activated, the illusion is enough to affect and control the surrounding area within a hundred meters, specifically targeting and influencing divine consciousness.

The preciousness of this ritual implement is self-evident.

There are two talismans left.

One blood-red sword-shaped talisman, and one umbrella-shaped defensive talisman.

Both offense and defense can serve as trump cards during the foundation-building stage.

After Su Mixin finished taking inventory, he didn't rush to refine it. Instead, he put it into his world ring. He still needed to go to his senior brother's place first, expecting to gain more.

Normally, Su Mixin's waist storage bag is just for decoration and display purposes. Inside, there is only a disc-shaped flying magic artifact, commonly used pills such as Bigu Pill, and about a hundred spirit stones.

Most of his wealth was stored in the World Ring, which was safe and had a huge space.

After taking stock of the treasures, Su Mixin was deeply moved. So many life-saving items were all a testament to his parents' love for him.
