149: Refining embroidery needles

“As expected of something named after ‘Daoist,’ any one of these Daoist Nine Secrets is enough to establish a sect and become an eternal giant in the Great Thousand World!”

“It’s a pity my cultivation realm is too low; I cannot glimpse the full scope of the Nine Secrets. Otherwise, once I master and comprehend them, I will surely be invincible in the world!”

After an unknown period, Su Can finally withdrew his fundamental seal, opened his eyes, and his expression was filled with shock.

Because the inheritance contained within the Daoist Nine Secrets was truly astonishing.

Although with his current cultivation realm, he could only comprehend the surface, it was enough to shock him.

“The Zu Zi Secret is profound and extensive. Just the large and small formations alone number four hundred eighty million, and that doesn’t even include talismans and restrictions. It’s truly terrifying.”

Su Can shook his head, the shock in his heart unable to subside for a long time.

Getting up and putting on his slippers, he went to the balcony, opened the curtains, and let the moonlight stream in.

With a wave of his hand, numerous embroidery needles flew out from his pocket, hovering before him.

Then, Su Can formed the Blazing Fire Seal with his hand, a red light flashed between his fingers, and a scorching power erupted, pointing forward.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!

Dozens of embroidery needles, infused with the scorching power, instantly turned fiery red and scalding hot, then quickly melted into molten iron, which was guided by his spiritual power to gather together.

Buzz!!

Su Can’s mind stirred, and his body instantly transformed as if into a black hole, as wisps of moonlight gathered, transforming into Lunar Essence power.

His powerful spiritual power forcibly controlled the Lunar Essence power, outlining one mysterious symbol after another, which merged into the molten iron before him.

The next moment.

The molten iron rolled and re-divided into embroidery needles!

However, the number of embroidery needles was halved, leaving only seven.

The surface of each embroidery needle was engraved with divine symbols, emitting faint, cool auras.

Su Can urged them with his spiritual power, and with a buzz, the seven embroidery needles vibrated, and symbols emerged, forming a simple small formation that chased and leaped, combining and separating, exquisite and miraculous.

“Collect~!”

After manipulating them back and forth a few times, Su Can let out a low shout and gathered them into his palm.

He then formed the Blazing Fire Seal again, repeating the process, melting all the embroidery needles into molten iron, re-dividing them, and engraving them with formation symbols.

This process, while quick, was also slow.

An hour later.

Su Can had refined a total of forty-nine embroidery needles, finally completing the task.

“The Zu Zi Secret is indeed formidable; even a simple small formation can unleash such mysterious power!”

The forty-nine embroidery needles, after re-smelting, had all their impurities removed.

By using the Lunar Essence power to outline and embed formation symbols, he not only formed a set of simple magical artifacts but also indirectly refined the quality of the embroidery needles with the Lunar Essence power.

Now, although the embroidery needles looked unremarkable, a slight perception could feel the biting cold emanating from them, incomparable to ordinary iron.

“It’s a pity I only have spiritual power; if I had true qi cultivation, operating them would be even more effective!”

“I also wonder if I’ll encounter any benefits during this trip into the mountains, such as ancient cultivators’ cave dwellings or inherited legacies.”

Su Can put away all the embroidery needles, his thoughts surging.

Mount Huang is, after all, a famous mountain and great river. Before the great changes on Earth, there were definitely so-called cultivators residing and secluding themselves there.

If he could find one or two of these people’s cave dwellings or similar places, he would definitely obtain some inheritance.

Even if it was a very simple cultivation technique, it would be better than nothing!

He currently possessed innate abilities, capable of absorbing solar and lunar essences, but lacked a systematic cultivation method to refine these essences into true qi for his own use and to strengthen himself.
