A hundred low-rank soul stones in seven days was simply impossible.

With Ye Zhen's current status in the family, his monthly salary was only a mere three low-grade spirit stones. A hundred low-grade spirit stones would be enough to buy a complete low-grade magic tool on the market!

This Ye Yun was obviously asking for an extortion.

"Young master, what should we do?" The amount of spirit stones you have saved up for so many years is only twenty, we don't even have that much money. "

Miao Miao was so anxious that he was on the verge of tears. Seven days later, if he could gather enough money, Ye Yun would definitely not let this matter rest. At that time, in order for the young master to stand up for her, he would have to suffer again.

Ye Zhen also felt a great headache when he heard these words. In the end, his own strength was still lacking.

If he was strong enough, how would Ye Yun dare to act so arrogantly? What 100 spirit stones? Even if he had them, there was no need to give them to him.

"Forget it, don't we still have seven days?" Don't worry, I will definitely be able to think of a way. At most, we can just try to run away. "

After pacifying Miao Miao, Ye Zhen returned to his room alone, a frown plastered on his face.

He thought to himself that he was really unlucky. After coming here, even if he had poor aptitude, no money, no rights, and no looks, he still had a mess to deal with.

"Right, I have to find that broken magic tool."

Thinking of this, Ye Zhen crawled under the bed and fumbled around for a while. Soon, he took out a dirty bronze lamp.

This lamp had the shape of a candlestick, and was carved with green bamboo ornaments. Its shape was simple and unadorned, and it was originally a pretty good low-rank magic tool called the Lamp of Bamboo Fire.

It was a pity that this magical artifact had already been damaged. The wick within it had already been pulled out, thus turning it into a piece of trash.

"Such a crappy thing, it's just a retainer. That bastard Ye Yun is obviously trying to scam me. If I am strong enough, I will definitely cut him into pieces. "

Ye Zhen was gnashing his teeth in anger. You said that if you gave me a Dao item or immortal equipment, I might have been able to grit my teeth and sell Miao Miao. But what's wrong with you taking a broken magic tool?

Even if my Miao Miao is sold, it won't be so cheap. I've been raising her for so many years.

Of course, these words were just a few words of ridicule in his heart. If he really had to say it out loud, wouldn't that little girl Miao die from grief?

When Ye Zhen extended his hand to hold the lamp, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

A faint aura of spiritual energy was being emitted from the lamp, as if it had been absorbed by his hand.

Then, he felt his head heat up as an ancient piece of purple gold appeared in his mind!

"This... Isn't this the piece of antique I got from my previous life? It was because of this that I was being hunted. "Where did this thing come from, to actually be able to cross over with me?"

Ye Zhen was both surprised and happy. Although he did not know what this shard was yet, from the looks of it, it should be a true treasure.

While he was focusing on the fragment, a few golden words appeared on it. They were like small golden tadpoles. Ye Zhen had to exert a lot of strength to barely see them clearly.

On this golden fragment, there was a manual called the "Treasure Refining Golden Body Tactic".

According to the golden words, this cultivation technique was created by a master alchemist. His talent was average, but he was extremely talented in crafting artifacts. At his peak, he could craft top grade Dao-seals!

Magic Treasures ranged from the lowest grade magic tools, to spiritual weapons, Xuan Artifacts, treasures, Dao artifacts, and then to the legendary immortal artifacts.

One could imagine just how powerful a Dao Artifact was. It was powerful enough to cause chaos in all directions.

A man's wealth was his own ruin. A treasure refiner's cultivation was too weak. Not only was he robbed of many treasures, he even almost died.

In a fit of anger, he tried to use his own knowledge of refining treasures to refine himself into a peerless magical equipment. He tried to use magical equipment's advancement method to increase his own spiritual energy, thereby increasing his Fa Li and cultivation.

Thus, the Treasure Refining Golden Body was born!

This cultivation method was simply unimaginable. One could refine a person into a magical equipment and use it to advance their cultivation. This would avoid the flaw of having a poor innate talent.

Not only that, but after mastering this art, he would be able to use any magic treasure in his hands. He would be able to unleash even more power, and he would even be able to control many magic treasures to form a grand magical formation!

When Ye Zhen saw this, he could not help but exclaim in admiration. This person was truly a genius who was able to come up with such an ingenious method by himself!

This Treasure Body Refining Art was incomparably powerful. And most importantly, it was simply tailor-made for one's self!

Ye Zhen's cultivation talent could only be described as terrible. If he were to use a normal method to absorb spiritual energy, it would take at least a hundred years for him to reach Foundation Establishment.

If one practiced this Golden Body Refinement Art and used his own body as a magical equipment, as long as there were enough magical equipment and materials, he would be able to advance his cultivation through devouring. Then, there would no longer be any problems with his talent.

However, there were some problems with this technique as well.

First of all, in order to practice this technique, one needed a huge amount of resources and materials as a shield. In other words, it was akin to burning money.

Secondly, it had created many new paths, but they were all speculations of the creator. Even the creator of this cultivation technique, the alchemist, eventually failed to cultivate it due to his lack of longevity.

In the process of cultivation, there were great risks, and there were even risks to one's life.

"Damn, I've already been forced to such a state, I don't have any better choices. Even though this bamboo fire lamp is damaged, the spirit of the magical equipment itself is still present. It would be better to use it to try and cultivate. "

Thinking of this, Ye Zhen no longer hesitated. Whether it was a dragon or a worm, whether it was bullied or eaten by others, it all depended on this gamble!

After reading the contents of the technique on the fragment tens of times, he was sure that he hadn't missed anything. Then, he sat down cross-legged and placed the damaged Bamboo Fire Lamp in front of him. He then began to practice the Alchemy Treasure Body Technique.

With the circulation of the Qi Method, Ye Zhen felt a miraculous transformation taking place within his body. His meridians became increasingly rigid, as if they had fused with his flesh and blood.

He could clearly feel that he was turning into a treasure in human form.

Of course, this was only at the initial stage, and currently, there was no power behind it.

However, this was an irreversible process. In other words, even if he was unable to walk this path in the future, he would be completely unable to cultivate like an ordinary person.

He could only absorb spiritual energy through magic treasures and all sorts of materials. He had to tread his own path to the very end.

"As matters stand, it's too late to regret. I can only grit my teeth and continue."

If he had known earlier that things would turn out this way, he definitely wouldn't have chosen to try it out so easily. However, it was too late now, so he could only grit his teeth and continue onward.

It was a good thing that the early stages of training in the [Golden Body Refinement Art] were not as difficult as he had imagined.

When he circulated the technique to the 36th cycle, a scorching suction force came from his palm. The lamp before him melted at a speed visible to the naked eye. The spirit in the magical item turned into spirit energy and was absorbed into the Qi Sea in his body.

Ye Zhen let out a stifled snort. His body slightly trembled, and his body exploded with a burst of crackling sounds like popping beans.

After that, he found that the spiritual energy in his body had doubled, directly breaking through to the fourth level of Qi Refining.

"He broke through just like that?"

Ye Zhen was overjoyed. Happiness came so suddenly that he found it hard to accept.

It had to be known that with his talent, if he wanted to break through to the fourth level of Qi Refining, he wouldn't even need half a year of hard work.

But now, he had successfully broken through after refining a broken low-grade magic tool!

Ye Zhen opened his eyes and felt the surging spiritual energy within his body. This energy was more than twice as powerful as before. Not only that, his body seemed to have undergone a slight change as well, and there was a faint bronze luster on the surface of his skin.

This meant that he had already started refining his own body into a magic treasure.

Of course, his current physical body was only slightly stronger than an ordinary person's. In order to reach the lower tier magic tools, he would need at least ten lower tier magic tools and many materials.

However, even with his current body and the spiritual energy in his body, under the full force of the bombardment, he still had the strength of at least a thousand pounds!

For an ordinary cultivator to possess such power, they would at least need to be at the fifth level of Qi Refining.

"Haha, this Golden Body Refinement Art is indeed powerful. With my current strength, I am not afraid of Ye Yun at all. As long as I can find more treasures or materials, not to mention the fact that my cultivation increases by leaps and bounds, my body will also become stronger and stronger. It is rare to find an opponent at the same realm as me, and surpassing those geniuses is only a matter of time! "

Ye Zhen was extremely happy. This strange cultivation technique allowed him to see hope for the future.

From now on, he no longer needed to be restricted by his talent. As long as he could find enough materials, anything was possible!

Of course, magic treasures were incomparably precious, and the materials that could be absorbed by the Alchemy Gold Body Technique were definitely not ordinary. The legendary treasures of heaven and earth were something that everyone wanted.

Obtaining all of these was no easier or more difficult than cultivating an ordinary person.

But at least there was hope.

"Eh? What's with this cluster of cyan spiritual energy? "

Ye Zhen was puzzled and discovered that there was a cluster of green spirit energy condensed in his palm. This spirit energy was out of place and gave off a scorching feeling, like flames.

When the thought touched this cluster of cyan colored spiritual energy, with a 'sou' sound, a visible cyan colored flame shot out from Ye Zhen's fingertip. In an instant, the table and chairs in front of him were incinerated into ashes.

What a powerful flame!

Ye Zhen was dumbfounded. No matter how he looked at it, these flames looked like the green bamboo flames cast by a bamboo lamp!

Could it be that, after absorbing the magical equipment, he could not only borrow the magical equipment's spirit energy to cultivate, but could also learn the magical equipment's spell?

"It must be. Because he was cultivating the Treasure Body Refinement Art, his meridians were solidified, making it impossible for him to cultivate like a normal person. It was the same for cultivation techniques and magic techniques. That Refiner has thought it through very carefully. Just based on cultivation, without magical techniques and abilities, he definitely cannot become an expert! "

Ye Zhen came to realize the truth in his heart. In his heart, he had also become a bit more confident in this strange cultivation technique.

In the next few days, Ye Zhen did not go anywhere else. He just stayed at home and focused on cultivating the green bamboo flames.

In the blink of an eye, seven days had passed.

On this day, Ye Zhen was practicing his Green Bamboo Raging Flames in his room. Originally, he could only conjure a finger-thick green flame, but now, it was the size of his palm and could completely cover his palm.

"Young master, let's run. Ye Yun is already at the gate."

Miao Miao hurriedly pushed the door open and entered, carrying a backpack that was even bigger than herself.

"Flee?" "Why?"

"Didn't you say it, young master? If it doesn't work, then we'll just have to dab our feet. "You've been shut up these past few days, how could you possibly gather a hundred low-grade spirit stones? Could it be that you're going to sell Miao Miao?" The little girl bit her lips and said pitifully.

Ye Zhen rolled his eyes at her in annoyance when he heard this, "Look at your useless appearance. Don't worry, we don't need to run, we don't need to give him money, and we definitely won't sell you. Not only that, but I want all his monthly allowance back for all these years. "

As he spoke, he pushed the door open and walked out.

Miao Miao was dazed as he stood on the spot, thinking, "Could the young master be sick? Why is he spouting such nonsense?"

"Crap!" I need to hurry up and stop the young master, or else he really might get beaten to death by Ye Yun. "

Miao Miao quickly threw off his backpack and ran out as well.
