Chapter 1173 : Treasures of Frost and Flame
The matter of advancing the Stellar Glazed Boundary [a powerful defensive formation] was thus settled.
Eldrin Chen then retrieved several more treasures from his sleeve, namely the Frostbane Gourd, the Frostbane Heart-Locking Spike, and the Frostbane Cold Light Barrier—three High-Grade Immortal Treasure [powerful enchanted artifacts] obtained from Frostbane Old Demon.
"These are..."
The moment she saw these three treasures, Lila could not help but reveal a look of delight.
Eldrin Chen nodded and handed them to Lila, saying, "These three treasures were the signature magical treasure [enchanted artifacts] of Frostbane Old Demon and are perfectly suited for your use."
"However, they are imbued with an excess of baleful aura [a malevolent energy]. You will need to refine and purge that aura before you can wield them properly."
As he spoke, he also passed on the method for dissolving baleful aura that had been taught to him by the Heaven Wind Path Master.
Watching Lila caress the High-Grade Immortal Treasure with evident fondness, Eldrin Chen took out several more artifacts.
These were the three High-Grade Immortal Treasure obtained from Crimson Dragon Child: the Crimson Dragon World-Startling Halberd, the Crimson Dragon World-Suppressing Bell, and the Crimson Dragon Immortal-Refining Vase.
The Crimson Dragon Immortal-Refining Vase was also a signature magical treasure of Crimson Dragon Child, capable of unleashing the Nine Heavens Crimson Dragon Flame [a supreme draconic fire] to refine even Nine Heavens Celestial Immortal Deities [powerful celestial beings], making it a truly rare and formidable treasure.

Unfortunately, Crimson Dragon Child was severely wounded at the time and could not unleash the full power of this treasure, ultimately falling at the hands of Eldrin Chen.
These treasures were also of little significant use to Eldrin Chen, so he prepared to hand them over for use by the Immortal of his clan.
Among his closest companions, Exquisite Jiang received the most powerful Crimson Dragon World-Startling Halberd, Violet Consort Yan was allotted the Crimson Dragon World-Suppressing Bell, while the Crimson Dragon Immortal-Refining Vase was entrusted to Blazing Phoenix.
Both Violet Consort Yan and Blazing Phoenix revealed expressions of delight upon receiving their treasures. With cultivation bases only at the Ascendant Immortal 1st Tier level, even possessing these High-Grade Immortal Treasure would allow them to wield only fifty to sixty percent of their potential power.
Even so, their combat prowess was greatly enhanced.
With Blazing Phoenix's Acquired Solar Fire Vermilion Bird and Violet Consort Yan's foundation as a Dual Path Fruits cultivator, their strength was already not inferior to ordinary Ascendant Immortal 3rd Tier experts.
Now, with the addition of this High-Grade Immortal Treasure, they should possess the capability to stand their ground against Ascendant Immortal 4th Tier entities in future encounters.
Seeing that his other Dao companions had received treasures, but Verdant Consort had not yet been allotted one, Eldrin Chen took out several precious materials.
These were, respectively, the remains of the Crimson Dragon Child and the Nine-Headed Hydra Dragon, the Flesh and Blood Precious Pill refined from the Starry Void Ancient Beasts, and two pieces of scale armor.
Back when Eldrin Chen slew the Starry Void Ancient Beasts, unable to transport both carcasses, he refined their flesh, blood, and vital essence into a single Flesh and Blood Precious Pill.
This Flesh and Blood Precious Pill [a supreme elixir refined from the vital essence of powerful creatures] contained five to six-tenths of the refined essence of the Starry Void Ancient Beasts [ancient cosmic beasts that dwell in the starry void], making it a supreme treasure for cultivating the Immortal Body [a perfected physical form that transcends mortality].
The scales of that Starry Void Ancient Beasts were also quite Extraordinary. After a simple refinement process, Eldrin Chen brought them into the Immortal Realm [a higher plane of existence where immortals reside].
The Flesh and Blood Precious Pill and scales from the Starry Void Ancient Beasts held astonishing value. In the past, the materials from Crimson Dragon Child and the Nine-Headed Hydra Dragon [a mythical dragon with nine serpentine heads] had also been exceptionally precious.
After slaying six Demon Immortal [demonic beings who have attained immortality] from the Crimson Dragon Clan, Eldrin Chen, grateful for the assistance of Six Stars Immortal, distributed the materials from four of the Demon Beasts among Six Stars Immortal and the other four Immortal.
He had deliberately kept only the materials from Crimson Dragon Child and the Nine-Headed Hydra Dragon, a clear indication that these two Demon Immortal were truly Extraordinary.
Now, as he presented all these treasures, a wave of excitement washed over the group.
Gazing at the treasures, Exquisite Jiang could not help but speak. "Every part of a Dragon Clan dragon is a treasure. The Dragon Sinew [tendons of a dragon, imbued with immense strength], Dragon Bone [bones of a dragon, incredibly durable and spiritually potent], Counter-Scale [the unique reverse scale on a dragon's neck, a symbol of its pride and a powerful material], Dragon Pearl [a pearl condensed from a dragon's essence], and Dragon Horn [horns of a dragon, conduits of elemental power] from Crimson Dragon Child can all be forged into Immortal Treasure [powerful artifacts used by immortals]."
Eldrin Chen nodded in agreement, then said, "This Flesh and Blood Precious Pill from the Starry Void Ancient Beasts can aid you in reaching the Great Completion stage of your Immortal Body."
"As for the two scale plates, the slightly smaller one offers somewhat lesser defense. The larger one, however, can withstand attacks from a High-Grade Immortal Treasure [a top-tier immortal artifact]. It can be forged into a rare defensive Immortal Treasure."
Verdant Consort also nodded, her eyes on the Dragon Sinew. "If we combine the Dragon Sinew from the Crimson Dragon with the scale plate of the Starry Void Ancient Beasts in a joint refinement, we should be able to forge a peerlessly defensive High-Grade Immortal Treasure."
Hearing their words, Eldrin Chen also fell into deep contemplation.
After a moment of silent deliberation, he finally spoke: "Using the Dragon Sinew [the powerful, flexible tendon of a dragon] from the Crimson Dragon, supplemented with the scales of a Starry Void Ancient Beast [a primordial beast born from the void between stars], we can forge a supreme-grade defensive Immortal Treasure [a treasure of immortal rank]. This shall be given to Verdant Consort for her protection."
"The Flesh and Blood Precious Pill [a legendary pill that can temper and rebuild the physical body] shall aid Exquisite in cultivating her Immortal Body [a perfected physical form that approaches immortality]. The Dragon Pearl [the condensed essence core of a dragon], the Counter-Scale [the unique, reverse-growing scale under a dragon's throat], and the Dragon Horn can be forged into an Immortal Sword [a sword of immortal rank]."
"The remaining Dragon Bone and other materials will serve as the foundation for constructing an immortal-class vessel, to be crafted by our clansmen into a massive War Treasure Ship [a formidable, magically-empowered warship]."
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes flickered with a glimmer of understanding.
High-grade War Treasure Ship are of immense value. While they may struggle against individual Immortal [a being who has ascended to immortality], they excel at countering Immortal Rank Formation [magical arrays of immortal power] and Earth Vein [the spiritual energy currents that flow through the world's ley lines]. They are crucial weapons for breaching the defenses of Immortal Isles [floating islands inhabited by immortals] and Spirit Mountain [mountains rich with spiritual energy].

Unfortunately, the material cost for such a Treasure Ship is at least ten times that of a standard Immortal Treasure of the same rank. Forging even one is akin to filling a bottomless pit.
The Chen Clan's Soaring Serpent Treasure Ship [a specific, named treasure ship] has been under construction for several millennia, consuming vast amounts of manpower and resources. Yet, to this day, it is less than ten percent complete, and its final realization remains a distant prospect.
Returning to the matter at hand, after distributing the treasures, Eldrin Chen accompanied Exquisite Jiang and the others to the Artifact Forging Chamber [a specialized chamber for crafting magical artifacts] to begin the process of forging the Immortal Treasure.
This time, with the assistance of Violet Consort Yan and Exquisite Jiang, the forging of the Immortal Treasure proceeded with remarkable smoothness.
He spent three Sixty-Year Cycle [a sixty-year temporal cycle], refining together the three treasures—the Dragon Pearl [a pearl containing immense draconic essence], the Counter-Scale [a legendary reverse scale from a dragon, symbolizing its ultimate weakness and power], and the Dragon Horn [a horn from a mighty dragon]—to ultimately forge a single, resplendent Immortal Sword [a sword of immortal-grade power].
"Verdant Consort, you already possess the Azure Dragon Stirring Sea Sword [the Azure Dragon Sword that Stirs the Seas]. This new blade shall be named the Crimson Dragon Sky-Scorching Sword [the Crimson Dragon Sword that Scorches the Heavens],"
Eldrin Chen remarked with a faint smile as he gazed upon the newly forged sword.
The Crimson Dragon Void-Refining Sword [the Crimson Dragon Sword that Refines the Void] possessed extraordinary might; its destructive power surpassed even that of the Crimson Dragon World-Startling Halberd [the Crimson Dragon Halberd that Startles the World] by a significant margin, ranking it among the most supreme of High-Grade Immortal Treasure [top-tier immortal-grade magical artifacts].
Eldrin Chen casually handed the sword to Verdant Consort and immediately turned his focus to crafting a defensive Immortal Treasure [immortal-grade magical artifact].
He combined the scales of the Starry Void Ancient Beasts [primordial beasts from the starry void] with the Dragon Sinew [tendons of immense tensile strength from a dragon] of a Crimson Dragon [a dragon of crimson fire], dedicating a full two centuries to the meticulous refinement process. The final result was this magnificent Immortal Treasure.
Upon its completion, the treasure manifested as a dazzling golden orb. Eldrin Chen channeled his spiritual energy to test its capabilities.
He discovered that with a mere flick of his wrist, the golden orb would instantly expand with the wind, swelling to encompass the heavens and earth for millions of Li-length [one Li-length equals five hundred meters] in all directions. Its defensive properties were astonishingly formidable.
After several tests, Eldrin Chen could not help but exclaim, "This treasure can expand to shroud the sky or contract to shield one's person. It can withstand nearly all attacks below the level of a Half-Step Earth Immortal [a cultivator who has nearly ascended to the Earth Immortal realm]."
"Its value is likely equivalent to several High-Grade Immortal Treasure [top-tier immortal-grade magical artifacts] belonging to an Ascendant Immortal [an immortal who has ascended to a higher plane of existence]."
The Verdant Consort was also extremely fond of this treasure, unable to resist stroking it repeatedly. In the end, she handed it back to Eldrin Chen and said, "With your cultivation level, you can unleash its greatest power."
Eldrin Chen shook his head and pushed it back towards her. "My Primordial One Indestructibility Body [a legendary physique of supreme resilience] has reached its peak. Even a Demigod Patriarch would likely find it difficult to slay me."
"Even if I encounter a Patriarch of the Half-Step Earth Immortal Realm, I have the Polarity Dual Poles Pearl to protect me. Therefore, this treasure is merely an added embellishment for me."
The Verdant Consort also understood. If even the Polarity Dual Poles Pearl could not withstand an attack, this golden orb would likely be utterly useless.
She then took the golden orb, unable to contain her delight, and asked, "What name should we give this treasure?"
Eldrin Chen pondered for a moment before speaking. "Forged primarily from the scales of a Starry Void Ancient Beast [a primordial beast from the cosmic void], when unfurled, it resembles a curtain draping from the heavens. Let us call it the 'Golden Scale Heaven-Draping Curtain'." Find thousands of chapters at audio—novel.com.
