Devour

Chapter 251: The Alchemist's Choice

When they were in the Divine King's Purple Palace, everyone absorbed a lot of vital energy from the Ice and Flame Spring, but it remained in their meridians and had not yet been transformed into full power.

Except for Yun Juan who took Shangguan Jing'er away to take care of themselves, Ningxiang and others sat cross-legged in a circle in the hall, following Li Haotian's guidance and practicing diligently.

Cheng Bai was full of energy. He thought that his gluttonous body was unparalleled in absorbing the essence of the Yuanling, and his efficiency in increasing his skills was unique. He asked the Smoker, who was unable to transform in the city, to accompany the others in practicing, and walked out of the temple with Hei Long and Chi Zhongming to Yuzhen Temple.

The market scene in Shanhui City is open. Although there are not many people, each of them is of extraordinary status.

There are all kinds of people living around Yuzhen Palace, including vendors, profiteers, and customers who are closely related to the equipment refining industry. They deal in rare and precious natural treasures, fragments of relics that have gone through vicissitudes of life, experienced masters, and eloquent charlatans.

To reap rich rewards in the market, a trader's true talent and risk tolerance are tested more than anywhere else.

Outside the temple, there are mostly simple stalls. A mermaid stall owner shows his treasures to customers: "Uncle Chang, do you want a truth snail? It's in very good condition and very hard to come by."

Chang Yufeng picked up the shell, looked at it, put it down, and shook his head, saying, "This thing is just a decoration. It's useless. I don't want it."

The mermaid quickly picked up a rusty and damaged helmet and recommended it, "This is the God King's helmet that has sunk to the bottom of the sea for thousands of years. It's absolutely genuine, Master Chang."

"The helmet of the God King is a priceless treasure, how could it rust? Don't fool me, I'm busy with other things, let's talk next time." Chang Yufeng waved his hand to refuse, and walked into the Yuzhen Palace with the swordsman beside him.

The swordsman seemed to be middle-aged, with a dignified appearance, a square face and a high nose, a resolute expression and a sharp gaze. However, he was a little short at less than five feet tall. Compared with the tall and long-legged Chang Yufeng, he looked a bit funny.

He narrowed his eyes and grumbled habitually, "Yufeng, you have excellent talent. Your Shaoyang Sword Body is even better than my Fire Spirit Sword Body. Your achievements will definitely be limitless. The burden of the Prison Sword Sect will fall on you in the future."

"Yes, Master, I will follow your instructions." Chang Yufeng bent down and lowered his head, listening obediently to his master's teachings.

"What your two friends said makes sense, but experience in refining equipment is precious. They are young and inexperienced, how can they be compared with the Grandmaster? There are only three families that dominate the refining equipment in the world. The Lieyan Sect has been in decline for a long time, and the Wantongxuan Sect is complacent. The best one is none other than the Changsheng Society."

The swordsman talked a lot and became more and more proud as he spoke.

Although Yuzhen Palace is called a palace, it is somewhat like a city. There are many shop fronts inside, and the gate is as majestic as a city tower.

Before the two entered, an old man in a yellow robe came out from the entrance of the hall and greeted them, "Master Guo Xieke, the head of the Prison Sword Sect, and Young Hero Chang Yufeng, who travels all over the world. Mo Ti has been waiting for you here for a long time."

When Guo Xieke saw Mo Ti, he smiled and said, "With Grandmaster Mo here, I can rest assured that the task of reforging the sword with shadowless steel is of great importance."

Mo Ti said: "Please rest assured, Holy Lord. With me personally refining it, the treasure will surely become famous throughout the five continents."

Guo Xieke asked, "I wonder if Grand Elder Mo Gui is here?"

Mo Ti was slightly stunned, then he understood what he meant and said hurriedly, "Master Mo Gui's whereabouts are as elusive as a crane, and I don't know where he is exactly. If Sect Leader Guo wants to find him to refine treasures, it is too difficult to meet him."

Guo Xieke was a little disappointed and said politely, "I have some time, why not wait here for a few days."

Mo Ti patiently advised, "There are only a handful of weapon refining masters in the world. They use shadowless steel to refine soul weapons. The materials are the same, and the difference in the finished products is minimal. Mo Gui rarely shows up now. In name, there are many orders, but in reality, they are handed over to me to complete. You can rest assured that Saint Guo will take care of it."

Guo Xieke retreated and said, "Let me think about it carefully."

"If the Holy Lord changes his mind, please come to me again." Mo Ti was impatient and turned around and left.

Seeing Mo Ti leave, Guo Xieke said disapprovingly, "They both used shadowless steel to imitate the Peace Sword. There are both spiritual weapons and soul weapons. The difference is so huge. How could I not know?"

Mo Ti walked away and then cursed, "You ungrateful guy, the more polite you are to him, the more he thinks he is so great."

He ran into Mo Ruo and asked, "Uncle Lie was so happy this morning, why did he suddenly get angry?"

Mo Ti said, "Guo Xieke, who ranks twelfth among the seventy-two sages, came today to seek the Changsheng Society's help in refining treasures, but he only recognized your distant ancestor and not my great uncle. No matter what, I am ranked sixty-sixth among the sages, and I definitely don't deserve to be looked down upon like this."

Mo Ruo said: "My ancestor Mo Gui is famous all over the world and has led the weapon refining industry for thousands of years. It is a blessing for the Changsheng Society and we should take this as an advantage. Let Ruo go and talk about it."

Mo Ti agreed and said, "If you have any good ideas, you might as well give it a try."

Mo Ruo smiled and said, "I am a man destined to embark on the path of becoming an emperor. It is just a trivial matter, Uncle Lie, just wait and see how you can handle it."

He found Guo Xieke and Chang Yufeng wandering around the palace, bowed and greeted them, "My two Taoist friends, I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person. I heard that you want to ask Mo Gui the Supreme to forge a magic weapon?"

Guo Xieke recognized Mo Ruo and responded, "Mo Longtou is polite. It's a pity that Senior Mo Gui is hard to find."

Mo Ruo said: "My ancestor traveled all over the world and rarely returned, so orders for refining equipment by himself are extremely rare. But it's not completely impossible. There are only a few internal quotas, which need to be booked in advance."

Guo Xieke's eyes lit up, and he was overjoyed. He said, "Then I'll have to trouble Mo Longtou. Are you sure it was made by Senior Mo Gui himself?"

Mo Ruo said seriously, "Doesn't Saint Guo trust me? Doesn't he trust the reputation of the Changsheng Society over the years? My ancestor worked on it himself, and the soul weapon sword will be completed tomorrow. There is definitely no one in the world who is so fast and efficient. There is also my ancestor's signature mark on the sword, so it can't be wrong."

Guo Xieke felt relieved when he saw that everything he said made sense. He turned around and said, "Yufeng, give me the material."

Chang Yufeng thought of Cheng Bai's words and suggested, "Master, this piece of shadowless steel can be used to refine three or four high-quality spiritual swords, but it can only be used to refine two soul weapon swords. Why don't you give half of the shadowless steel and two Long Bo inner pills to Mo Longtou to make a soul weapon. We don't have enough elixir spirits, so we can decide to refine the second soul weapon sword after we get the other two."

Guo Xieke nodded and said, "I like the idea of ​​refining a soul weapon very much. This is the best. Let's refine a sword first. There are many rare natural treasures in Shanhui City. If we search carefully, we will definitely be able to gather what Danling needs. I also ask Mo Longtou to help divide the materials."

Mo Ruo just regarded it as a successful order. Without saying anything, he sacrificed the Black Ruins Cauldron and divided the Shadowless Steel equally, keeping half, and accepted the two Long Bo Inner Pills and 300 million taels of gold as wages. He assured them, "Don't worry, no one in the world can do better than Changshenghui."

After Guo Xieke finished his task, he took Chang Yufeng away and praised him quietly, "Yufeng, you have been in the martial arts world and acted very experiencedly. Mo Ruo's words sounded good, but who knows if it was Mo Ti who said that he would do the work for you. Let's see how the first sword turns out before considering the second one."

Chang Yufeng said, "It is said that Mo Gui tried to refine immortal tools and break through to the level of Xuan Grandmaster, and he did not accept worldly orders. The rumor that Mo Ti was doing the work for him is probably true, but he is also a Grandmaster, and he would not disgrace the natural resources. I went to the Lingying Palace in the city to inquire about it in detail. The Tianmen has recorded the refining of tools by the leader of the Tiantian Sect, Bai Di. He once refined a supreme soul tool in Qian'an City, which shook the world and caused thunderclouds to spread for 1,800 miles. It is true."

Guo Xieke twirled his beard and said, "The time since Baidi refined his magic weapon was too short. I have never heard of his soul weapon's achievements in battle, and the Tianbao Ranking has not updated the treasure rankings."

Chang Yufeng said: "In my humble opinion, you may as well give the second sword to Baidi for a try. By comparing the two, we can know which one is better."

The master and his disciple were discussing something when they saw Cheng Bai and his group walking into the Yuzhen Palace from afar.

"He's here when I was just talking about him." Chang Yufeng stepped forward and said, "Brother Dabai, I have something to ask of you."

Cheng Bai responded, "Brother Chang, if you have any use for me, feel free to ask."

"This is my master, Guo Xieke..." Chang Yufeng briefly introduced both parties and continued, "...I am preparing for the soul weapon sword I mentioned last time. I am still short of a pill spirit that is similar to Long Bo's inner pill."

Cheng Bai saw a giant replica of the inner elixir made of golden hair crystal hanging in the window of the shop opposite as a sign. The golden light was very eye-catching, so he smiled and said, "Look, there happens to be a store selling elixir spirits. Let's go and pick out the right ones together."
