Chapter 529 Transaction Refinement
"Senior Hu, what is this?" Chen Qin was shocked.
When Senior Hu used his secret technique to control her physical body, she was unable to move, but she could vaguely sense a slight emotional fluctuation in him.
Just now, Senior Hu seemed to have encountered a cat, and even gave up on capturing the Earth Qilin, fleeing with the Calamity Fox at the first opportunity.
What kind of being could make Senior Hu so wary?
Chen Qin felt a mixture of curiosity and fear.
The reason is simple: Senior Hu's origins are mysterious. He only recovered a fraction of his true spirit, yet he was able to unleash profound secret techniques to help her suppress the demon kings of the four realms. His strength is immeasurable.
Chen Qin even felt that among the five realm demon lords, Senior Hu was one of the top experts.
As a result, this powerful figure turned into a frightened bird the moment he made his move. Could it be that the newcomer is a Nascent Soul True Venerable?
With your current level of cultivation, the more you know, the more dangerous it becomes. This is not something you should know.
Hu Mei changed the subject, saying, "The most important thing now is to possess and refine the Calamity Fox to help you attain True Monarch status; everything else is trivial."
Seeing that Senior Hu was unwilling to elaborate, Chen Qin immediately understood and remained silent.
"My judgment back then was correct; Chen Beiwu is indeed no ordinary person!"
Hu Mei thought to herself as she probed the battlefield behind her with her divine sense.
Chen Beiwu is growing too fast!
The young man she once saw as a Golden Core cultivator has now become a Nascent Soul True Monarch, capable of representing the Jade Purity Immortal Sect and holding sway over a region, and he is even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator!
Such a level of cultivation is truly terrifying. Even the five chief disciples of the grotto-heavens, Gu Yong, Zhu Wu, Che Zhengyuan, Shi Wujian, and Xuan Yuanyu, are inferior to Chen Beiwu.
However, with Hu Mei's current cultivation level, she is not afraid of a mere late-stage Nascent Soul True Monarch. What she really wants to avoid is the meeting between Chen Qin and Chen Beiwu!
After all, she had worked hard to cultivate a superior tool, and she couldn't bear to see any accidents happen before things were completely settled.
On the other side, Chen Beiwu exhaled a breath of turbid air, and the Primordial Dharma Image behind him slowly dissipated.
"roar?"
(Did you win?)
The golden egg was the first to give way, its three dragon heads crashing to the ground, its pupils dilating, and its demonic power almost completely exhausted.
"Woof!"
Tie Dan lay on the side, panting heavily with his tongue lolling out.
It used the power of karmic fire to lock onto Bai Qi, but now that the power of sin and karmic retribution has dissipated, Bai Qi is most likely dead and has perished.
"Hey!" (Don't let your guard down!)
Schiller looked at the mangled dragon corpse with a serious expression.
The martial arts methods of the Cangyuan Realm are extremely strange. Even though Bai Qi's Martial Saint Weapon was taken away, it did not think that the other party would perish so easily.
"tread!"
"tread!"
"tread!"
Chen Beiwu remained silent and strode toward Bai Qi's corpse.
The next instant, with his hands and feet gone and almost two-thirds of his physical body annihilated, Bai Qi, revealing the head of an ice dragon, suddenly sprang up, a resolute glint in his eyes.
He can die here, but the Martial Saint Weapon passed down through the Bai clan cannot fall into the hands of the extraterrestrial demons.
"die!"
Bai Qi roared and used his own flesh and blood as a sacrifice to forcibly mobilize the power of the Martial Saint contained within the Martial Saint's weapon.
boom!
With this strike, blood gushed into the sky, eclipsing the sun and moon, and causing ghosts to wail and gods to howl. It decapitated Chen Beiwu with a single blow, severing his skull and even annihilating his Dao Seed and Nascent Soul.
In an instant, the world fell silent.
An eyeball fell to the ground with a "plop," and a look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.
Although he faced death, he also successfully buried the enemy along with him.
Before his consciousness completely disappeared, Bai Qi sensed something was wrong. The beast controlled by Chen Beiwu was too calm and did not look like it had lost its master at all!
Just then, Bai Qi sensed something, his eyes flickered, and he looked up.
A transcendent figure stood in mid-air, his expression serene, like a banished immortal, quietly gazing down upon him.
"This move is quite clever, it can deceive my Heavenly Eye and Heavenly Ear, but it's still a little short," Chen Beiwu commented.
He possesses the supernatural ability of nine breaths of breath control, which allows him to observe the flow of fortune.
Bai Qi's feigned death could deceive a Nascent Soul Perfection True Monarch, but it couldn't deceive him.
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi's pupils contracted, the lingering resentment in his eyes completely vanished, and he died.
Upon seeing this scene, Chen Beiwu's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at the earthen unicorn kneeling on the ground.
A hint of fear flashed in the latter's eyes, devoid of any of the majesty of a primordial beast: "I am willing to offer three drops of my essence blood, only begging the Immortal Master to spare my life!"
"Stop pretending. Bai Qi's strike was powerful, but it couldn't harm you who's standing on the ground," Chen Beiwu exposed.
The Qilin raised its head decisively, the fear in its eyes fading, and grinned: "You seem to know a bit about the mysteries of my Qilin clan."
"I don't want to kill you, but I also don't want to have worked for nothing."
Chen Beiwu gave the Earth Qilin a deep look and said bluntly, "You are at a critical moment right now. If you are willing to offer five drops of your heart's blood essence, I can lend you a hand and make a good connection."
"Hey!" (There are also mystical and vital medicines!)
Schiller quickly spoke up to remind him.
It is not a blood-sucking vine. Although the essence of the Qilin is quite effective, it is far less pleasing than the Xuanyao and Yuanyao.
"You just finished a major battle, and you only have eleven percent of your strength left, yet you dare to make such outrageous demands. Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"
The Earth Qilin stood up, its injuries instantly healed, and its cultivation level began to rise steadily, soaring to over 8,990 years, thus completely entering the perfect realm of the Demon King.
With its perspective, it could naturally see that Chen Beiwu was in a terrible state and couldn't even unleash that towering and majestic Dharma image that had just appeared, so he was nothing to be afraid of.
"Bluster won't work on me. Are you going to give it to me or not?" Chen Beiwu said succinctly.
He can't accomplish anything, and he can cause trouble.
If this Qilin refuses to agree, don't blame me for using my Qi Luck and supernatural powers to interfere with the dragon veins of this realm.
The earthen unicorn remained silent, its eyes fixed on Chen Beiwu.
After a long while, it lowered its head, and golden spots appeared on its forehead, giving it a terrifying aura.
boom!
boom!
boom!
As drops of Qilin blood, as red as gold and as thick as honey, slowly emerged, it exuded an ancient and overwhelming pressure.
Five drops of Qilin essence blood are neither a small nor a large amount, but if this opportunity can be used to deceive Chen Beiwu, it would be a good deal.
Chen Beiwu reached out and took the five drops of Qilin essence blood, then pulled out the Martial Saint's weapon and turned to leave.
As the figure receded into the distance, the Earth Qilin's eyes narrowed.
"etc!"
The earthen unicorn suddenly called out to Chen Beiwu.
"Is there anything else?" Chen Beiwu paused in his steps.
"These five drops of my essence blood aren't for nothing. I need to focus on my cultivation breakthrough during this time. If those cultivators come to disturb me again, you must help me defend myself." The Earth Qilin's eyes flashed.
Chen Beiwu glanced at it: "Impossible, this is not within the scope of our transaction, unless you add three drops of essence blood."
The earthen unicorn shook its head repeatedly.
Giving it five drops of Qilin essence blood had already depleted a lot of its energy; giving it three more drops would definitely cause it to fail in its breakthrough.
"How about a different request? How about one Earth Qilin Fruit?" Earth Qilin changed its condition.
"One is too few. If my fellow cultivators knew I was selling a single fruit, they'd think I was short of money." Chen Beiwu held up five fingers and raised the price: "At least five."
Anger flashed in the earthen qilin's eyes, but it did not try to bargain.
The Earth Scale Fruit is not an ordinary mystical medicine. It is a unique fruit that is formed by the interaction of the earth's veins and dragon veins. Those who are depleted in their essence can repair hidden injuries and stabilize their foundation by consuming it. Those who are full of essence can transform their physical body by consuming it, nourish their essence, qi and spirit, and greatly improve their cultivation. Its value is not much less than that of the Qilin essence blood.
But if it were to just let Chen Beiwu leave like this, it would feel somewhat unwilling.
It wasn't that it was timid or afraid of extraterrestrial demons like Chen Beiwu and Che Zhengyuan, but rather that a supreme treasure was being nurtured deep within the dragon veins of this realm, causing a sudden drop in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within the realm.
To conceal its existence and prevent anyone from eyeing the treasure it had found, the Earth Qilin went so far as to use a breakthrough in its cultivation realm as an excuse to part of its origin to cover up the anomalies in this world.
However, if no one helps it resolve its troubles and frees it up to cover up, the treasure nurtured deep within the dragon vein is likely to be exposed, attracting many powerful individuals to fight over it.
Of course, the Earth Qilin can also conceal its aura, ignore external troubles, hide deep within the dragon vein, and secretly protect that supreme treasure.
However, this approach requires gambling on luck and cannot be fooled by truly powerful individuals; the risks are simply too great.
"At most three!" the Earth Qilin gritted its teeth and said.
"Sure," Chen Beiwu agreed without hesitation.
Even without the Dao-cultivating Pill, Jin Dan and Tie Dan could successfully advance to the late stage of Demon King by swallowing a Tu Lin Fruit.
This kind of sure-fire business is worth doing.
"I need you to make a vow of Dao heart." The earthen qilin's expression softened.
It's just some essence and blood, some exotic fruits; once given, it's gone.
Once that supreme treasure is fully formed, it will awaken its bloodline power, further enhance its strength, and become a sacred beast that even a Martial Saint would have to bow down to.
At that time, whatever amount Chen Beiwu took, it will take back ten times!
"No problem," Chen Beiwu readily agreed.
The next morning.
A simple cave dwelling.
"Eek!"
-
Zhiling felt something was off.
The Earth Qilin was too timid and lacked the majesty of a Creation Beast.
"Roar." "Hey."
Golden Egg and Schiller didn't care about that; all they cared about was the Earth Scale Fruit that Chen Beiwu had obtained.
Chen Beiwu nodded in satisfaction as he crushed the Tulin fruit into juice and evenly coated it onto Aji's eggshell.
With the boost from the Earth Scale Fruit, Aji's hatching time can be significantly reduced.
"Buzz!"
Just then, Aji swayed slightly, indicating that there was always a faint attraction coming from deep underground, which might be related to the Earth Qilin.
"When you offer a gift, you must have something in mind." Chen Beiwu said calmly.
That earthen qilin was incredibly powerful, roughly equal to him, but it preferred to conceal its strength and feign weakness.
Chen Beiwu knew that even if he had some strength left after fighting Bai Qi, it would be difficult for him to defeat that earthen Qilin.
He had already gained quite a bit by taking advantage of the power to suppress Bai Qi and obtaining five drops of essence blood and three Earth Scale Fruits through trade.
As for the secrets hidden by the Earth Qilin, Chen Beiwu was interested in exploring them, but he did not want to act rashly and alert the enemy.
"Hey!"
Schiller stepped forward and volunteered.
Chen Beiwu directly rejected it.
From the moment he entered this true realm, he knew that Schelle's ever-changing and profound abilities could not escape the perception of the Earth Qilin.
"The chiefs of the five great grotto heavens will not miss the opportunity to form a contract with the Earth Qilin. When we fight them, we can subtly guide the aftershocks of the battle to where Aji senses him," Chen Beiwu transmitted his thoughts.
"Roar!" "Woof!" "Hah!" "Eek!" "Buzz!"
Golden Egg, Iron Egg, Schiller, and Zhiling's eyes lit up slightly, indicating that this was a feasible plan.
Aji was different; it shook the giant egg, indicating that it had the strength of ten thousand men and could help Chen Beiwu defeat the earthen unicorn.
Upon hearing this, Jin Dan, who considered himself Chen Beiwu's ace, was displeased and looked at Aji.
"alright!"
After calming the two little ones down, Chen Beiwu finally had time to examine the items left behind after Bai Qi's fall.
Skipping over a worn-out jade pendant, Chen Beiwu's gaze fell upon the unremarkable Martial Saint's Weapon, which resembled an ordinary sword.
Since Bai Qi's fall, this fifth-tier Yuan Blade has concealed all its sharpness, and even the winding blood-red light on the blade has quietly faded away, like a dragon hiding in the abyss, waiting for a wise master.
If Chen Beiwu hadn't possessed the Nine Breaths Qi Absorption Divine Power to discern the terrifying power contained within this blade, he would have almost believed that after the blade's owner perished, this Martial Saint's sacred weapon also died, accompanying its owner in death, and actively dissipating all its spirituality.
Thinking of this, Chen Beiwu reached out and gripped the hilt of the knife.
To his surprise, there was no resistance or movement, as if he were holding a stick of firewood rather than a powerful fifth-tier Yuan Blade.
Could this Martial Saint's weapon also be subject to multiple layers of restrictions, similar to the method of refining precious treasures, to prevent it from falling into the hands of outsiders? Chen Beiwu raised an eyebrow.
If that's the case, unless he can find a way to break it, this Martial Saint's weapon is useless in his hands, far less convenient than the Nameless Mystic Blade.
"The artifact possesses a spirit; are you willing to acknowledge me as your master?"
Chen Beiwu closed his eyes, and a bell deep within his spiritual platform trembled slightly, communicating with the Martial Saint's sacred weapon.
A quarter of an hour!
Half an hour!
45 minutes!
There was no feedback; the spiritual power of the Martial Saint Weapon in Chen Beiwu's hand did not manifest.
Seeing that this method was not working, Chen Beiwu had a change of heart and urged the Jade Purity Immortal Sect to use the Secret Method of Refining the Mysterious Treasure of the Same Contemplation to refine the Martial Saint's Sacred Weapon with the True Fire of the Nascent Soul of the Dao Seed.
"Sizzle sizzle!"
Chen Beiwu refined the Nascent Soul True Fire for a day and a night, but the Martial Saint's Sacred Weapon, which was suspended in the air, did not change at all, as if the Nascent Soul True Fire was nothing.
roar?"
The golden egg approached Chen Beiwu and indicated that it could absorb part of the spirituality of the Martial Saint's weapon through the Three-Phase Furnace Mystic Power, which meant that the weapon's power might be greatly reduced.
"No problem, I have other methods."
Chen Beiwu closed his eyes, activated the Soaring Blade Intent, and slashed directly at the Martial Saint's Sacred Weapon.
"Buzz!"
Unlike before, the Martial Saint's weapon reacted for the first time, unleashing a beam of light that shattered Chen Bei's martial intent before returning to silence.
Seeing that this method was effective, Chen Beiwu's eyes lit up, and he tried it a few more times.
After three times, no matter how Chen Beiwu urged the Lingxiao Blade Intent, the Martial Saint's Sacred Weapon no longer responded, as if it had gotten used to it.
"Eek."
Zhiling jumped onto Chen Beiwu's shoulder, indicating that her mother had connections and knew a fifth-tier weapon refiner who could melt down the Martial Saint Weapon and then tailor-make another one for its master.
Chen Beiwu resolutely refused.
Forging a fifth-tier Yuan Blade is no easy feat!
Leaving aside whether he can afford the fees charged by a fifth-tier weapon refiner, it would take decades, or even centuries, to refine and forge a fifth-tier Yuan Blade.
It is no exaggeration to say that the forging time of some special creation artifacts of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect even exceeds 2,500 years.
Rather than relearning the Yuan Blade technique, he might as well try a different method.
"The primordial mystery is all-pervading; all things return to their origin."
A spark of inspiration leads back to the source.
Chen Beiwu pointed his fingers like a sword, circulating the Primordial Golden Elixir to enlighten the profound, and pointed one finger at the Martial Saint's Sacred Weapon.
The primordial metal element can give birth to lotuses in the void, nurture spirits in withered stones, enlighten innate bloodlines, and reverse destiny.
Chen Beiwu once used this profound power to subdue the Five Elements Bright King Wing, and today he will use it to enlighten the Martial Saint's Holy Weapon, so that it will recognize him as its master!
