Chapter 375: Heavenly Demon Finger Bones
It is a new year again. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, a grand auction was held in Wanzong City. The finale of the auction was a sixth-level Wanqing Shoudan!
Wanqing Shoudan, a cultivator can extend his life by thirty years. It is more powerful than the Zijin Yanshoudan made from Zijin jujube. It is already a rare life-extending elixir.
Finally, this Wanqing Shoudan was bought by Danqiu Sheng, the head of the Five Elements Sect, at a sky-high price of 300,000 medium-grade spirit stones. After Danqiu Sheng succeeded, he left.
The next day, the scholar came to take the Wanqing Shoudan and took Xiao Mian away.
Under the guidance of the scholar, Xiao Mian was taken to a monastery on the Hengtian Peak in the north of Mount Daizong, where he met the weapon refining master that the scholar had mentioned.
"Brother Wu! Are you okay?"
The scholar bowed respectfully to the old man who was slumped on the recliner, but the old man did not say anything. The scholar did not take it as an offense, but just took out the spiritual materials that Xiao Mian gave him last time - the seventh-level Yuanci Divine Iron, the seventh-level Tianyue Star Crystal, and the seventh-level Linglong Gold Thread. As soon as the three seventh-level spiritual materials were taken out, the old man who was dying before suddenly sat up, staring at the scholar's hands, breathing rapidly.
"Cough cough! Cough..."
The old man couldn't help coughing, his face flushed, and sweating, but his eyes never left the three spiritual materials in the scholar's hand.
"Brother Wu, I have a pill for coughing..."
"Cough! Cough cough... Give... Give it to me!"
"Yes!"
The scholar handed over a pill without leaving a trace, and the old man didn't even look at it, and just swallowed the Wanqing Shoudan worth 300,000 middle-grade spiritual stones into his mouth.
Xiao Mian was heartbroken. You know, although the 300,000 middle-grade spirit stones were produced by Dan Qiu, they were obtained by Xiao Mian in exchange for "The Way of Killing".
But soon, the old man reached out and touched his neck. His face changed drastically, sometimes livid, sometimes pale, and then he pointed at the scholar with anger on his face.
"Brother Wu! I have no choice! Although this Wanqing Shoudan was made by the Bai family, this little brother spent 300,000 middle-grade spirit stones to win it in the auction. So, Brother Wu owes this little brother 300,000 middle-grade spirit stones, which should be enough for Brother Wu to help him make a flying sword of magic weapon level, right?" Seeing that the old man's eyes were attracted by the three spiritual materials again, the scholar simply handed them to the old man and said, "That's right! Just use these three seventh-level spiritual materials, Brother Wu's refining skills and the sixth-level star core explosion, and the magic weapon can be made!"
"With three seventh-level spiritual materials as the foundation, there is indeed the confidence to forge a magic weapon!"
Reaching out and stroking the three spiritual materials, the old man's face was uncertain, and he was obviously weighing whether to take over this deal.
Seeing this, Xiao Mian also saw something.
The old man surnamed Wu seemed to have some grievances with the Bai family. He was dying because he was unwilling to take the elixir made by the Bai family. However, he was obsessed with refining weapons and couldn't bear to give up the best spiritual materials. Now he was struggling with his mind and was hesitant.
With a turn of his eyes, Xiao Mian had a piece of bone in his hand and handed it over respectfully.
This piece of bone was what Xiao Mian risked his life to fish out in the Yellow Spring Pond. According to Guitou, it was also a seventh-level spiritual material.
However, as soon as Xiao Mian took out this finger bone, it not only attracted the old man surnamed Wu, but also attracted the scholar's attention.
The next moment, the scholar took the finger bone in his hand and looked at it carefully.
"Where did you get this evil thing from!" The scholar asked Xiao Mian in a stern voice. Xiao Mian was stunned, and then naturally blamed everything on the Five Elements Sect. After hearing this, the scholar's expression eased a little, but he still whispered to himself: "Danqiu is too pampering this kid! How come he even brought this thing out..."
"Excuse me, senior, what is this?" Xiao Mian simply pretended to be stupid.
"......, this is the finger bone of the demon!"
"The finger bone of the demon? Could it be that there really is a demon from outside the domain in this world?"
"This demon is not that demon! The so-called demon from outside the domain does exist, and it does interfere with the seven emotions and six desires of the cultivators when they are undergoing the tribulation, forming the heart demon tribulation; but the demon from outside the domain affects the cultivators by creating a demon projection deep in the cultivators' souls, and it is impossible for the skeleton of the demon from outside the domain to appear in this world! As for this finger bone, it is the finger bone of a demon cultivator in the Nascent Soul Realm, and the demon cultivators in the Nascent Soul Realm are also recognized by the demon cultivators as demons, so it is called the demon bone!"
"I see! Wait! The skeleton of the demon cultivator in the Nascent Soul Realm Can bones become seventh-level spiritual materials? Then after you die, will you also...”
“I wonder what kind of messy things are going on in your mind all day long?” He rolled his eyes in annoyance, but the scholar couldn’t get angry. After throwing the bone back to Xiao Mian, the scholar explained: “Of course, not every skeleton of a Yuanying cultivator can become a seventh-level spiritual material. I guess the original owner of this finger bone must have mastered a finger technique. After years of infusion of demonic energy, this piece of Heavenly Demon Finger Bone was created. Otherwise, wouldn’t the tomb of the Yuanying ancestor have been robbed?”
“Isn’t this thing also a seventh-level spiritual material? Can’t it be used to refine swords?”
"In the art of refining, purity is the key, coordination is the key, and the more high-level spiritual materials, the better." It was rare that the old man surnamed Wu finally looked at Xiao Mian seriously, which made the scholar feel relieved, because according to his understanding of the old man, this meant that the old man had agreed to help Xiao Mian refine the sword. Sure enough, the next moment, the old man looked over the three spiritual materials again and again, and said to himself: "In theory, these three spiritual materials are enough to refine a good primary magic flying sword, and the weight is enough, but..."
"Just what? Please explain it clearly, senior!"
"There are four things to refine weapons: spiritual materials, spiritual fire, spiritual furnace, and spiritual formation! You prepare the spiritual materials yourself, and the spiritual fire is naturally the old man's star core explosion flame. The spiritual furnace is also in charge of the old man. As for the spiritual formation, it is a bit troublesome. If you want to refine flying swords of other attributes, I have all the spiritual formations here. But since you have collected this Yuanci divine iron and Tianyun star crystal, and such a large mass of exquisite gold silk, it seems that you are planning to refine a star magnetic sword, right? In this case, you need a star magnetic array!"
"Star magnetic array? Do you mean the array with star magnetic properties?" After the old man surnamed Wu nodded, Xiao Mian took out two discs and handed them to the old man. The old man was calm at first, but he was surprised when he saw the two discs. But soon, the old man laughed: "Sixth-level array disc - Tianxing geomagnetic array? Everything is ready!"
The two discs that Xiao Mian took out were the Tianxing geomagnetic array that Bai Jintang used to capture him. He didn't expect that when the time came, it would help Xiao Mian a lot.
After that, the old man surnamed Wu and the scholar only studied how to refine the star magnetic sword. Because of the relationship between the properties of the spiritual fire and the properties of the spiritual materials, during the sword-making process, the old man surnamed Wu was the main surgeon, and the scholar just did some cooperation and odd jobs.
As a result, the old man surnamed Wu was extremely busy, while the scholar had a lot of free time.
Of course, the one who had more free time than the scholar was Xiao Mian.
In desperation, Xiao Mian casually found a place to practice with peace of mind.
One day, Xiao Mian's heart moved.
"How did this rag suddenly wake up?"
"Who knows! That thing is sneaky!"
"Ghost Old Man, you are the only one who has the nerve to say that others are sneaky?"
"Tsk! Ghost Old Man, although I am a ghost, I have always been upright and upright, and I have no shame in the world. How can I be sneaky?"
"I don't want to bother with you!"
As time went by, the relationship between Xiao Mian and Gui Tou became deeper and deeper. From time to time, the man and the ghost would quarrel a few words, which was a bit of fun.
But now that the black cloth suddenly woke up, Xiao Mian naturally didn't care about chatting with Gui Tou. With a thought, the mysterious black cloth appeared in Xiao Mian's palm.
"Xiao Bu, Xiao Bu, what is your origin?"
"..."
A slightly sad thought flashed through Xiao Mian's mind, but it seemed chaotic and hazy. Obviously, this piece of black cloth seemed to have lost its memory like Gui Tou.
"Do you still need to eat spiritual stones this time?"
As he said this, Xiao Mian had already taken out hundreds of medium-grade spiritual stones for the black cloth to devour. Unexpectedly, the black cloth shook its surface, then floated up and flew around in the quiet room.
Xiao Mian found it interesting, so he didn't stop it. Unexpectedly, the next moment, the black cloth suddenly jumped out of the window like a shark that smelled blood.
Shocked, Xiao Mian hurried out of the room and saw that the black cloth was covering a pair of golden ores, floating and sinking, as if devouring something.
Xiao Mian recognized the pile of ores. It was a raw ore called golden scale ore. If it was purified and refined, it could produce a fourth-level spiritual material, golden scale horn.
Seeing a familiar scene, Xiao Mian suddenly remembered the scene that happened in the Zhenzong Hall in Lingchuanfang Market. After being alerted, Xiao Mian wanted to stop the black cloth from swallowing immediately, but he stopped and thought about it.
If the skin of the ten thousand year old fire beast is really fused with this piece of rag, it might be a good idea to see if it can bring him some unexpected gains this time...
