Devour

Chapter 218 Proposal

An Yiren said, "You can't blame Master Chu. Those old scholars always work behind closed doors and don't care about what's happening outside. Only others come to them to look for things, and they don't come to look for others. They have no sense of existence in the Five Continents. But at the critical moment, they have to come to them to ask for things, so they are one of the nine gates and their weight is extremely heavy."

Chu Kangtian said, "We must contact them immediately. Too many Qingguang Copper Mothers have been sold at once. The price around Beiwei may plummet to the ground. If there is no Wantong Xuanmen, how can we digest so many?"

Unlike gold and other materials that can be used as currency, Qinglong copper mother is not easy to circulate.

Cheng Bai's heart was moved, and he thought to himself: "Now is the right time, I can buy some of them at a low price."

An Yiren said: "Brother Chang's shadowless steel can be used to forge at least three spiritual swords. There are three Long Bo inner pills in this event, which is just enough."

Chang Yufeng's face was so bitter that it looked like water was about to burst out of it. He murmured, "The eight spiritual swords were melted by the devil and only the materials of three or four were left. How tragic! Is Yiren talking about the Imitation Peace Sword Atlas?"

The diagrams among weapon refiners are precious and hard to come by, and most of them are kept hidden.

The imitations and copies of the Peace Sword are widely circulated, and the illustrations are diverse. The power of the different imitations is naturally not as good as the original, and the gap between them is far, ranging from spiritual weapons to soul weapons.

Generally speaking, this type of atlas can at least be used to refine a low-grade spiritual sword, and is always much better than other lesser-known atlases. Almost every weapon-refining sect has a collection of one or two copies and regards them as classics. The forging experience is surprisingly rich, so customers would rather choose imitations when they spend money to customize.

The Zhenyue Sword Sect where Chang Yufeng works has a large collection of precious swords, even the famous Ten Evil Swords, which has been imitated many times by others. How could he not know the subtlety of this?

An Yiren nodded and said, "The Peace Sword is ingeniously designed and flawless, so it can be remembered forever. If I forge a spiritual sword based on this model, I am confident that it will become a top-grade spiritual weapon."

Cheng Bai was surprised: "An Yiren has mastered the master's atlas and can refine top-grade spiritual weapons. He is undoubtedly a master of weapon refining. Why is he content with being indifferent and becoming an assistant master?"

But everyone has some secrets that are hard to ask directly.

Cheng Bai was in high spirits and said casually, "In my humble opinion, it would be better to refine the shadowless steel to a higher grade than the heavenly grade. There might only be material left for a long sword. With the addition of three Long Bo inner cores, there is a chance to refine it into a soul weapon holy sword."

Chang Yufeng's eyes lit up, and he said hesitantly: "Magic weapons are of vital importance. It is better to do them well than to do them in large quantities. What Dabai said really resonates with me."

Four heavenly-grade and four supreme-grade spiritual swords were destroyed. The materials, elixirs, and labor costs only resulted in three or four top-grade spiritual swords. This was certainly not worth it. It would be better to strive for perfection and refine a holy sword.

An Yiren thought he could take the order, but after hearing this, he was stunned for a moment and said, "There are only a handful of people in the world who are capable of forging soul weapon swords. The requirements for the qualifications of the refiner and the grade of the refining cauldron are completely different things."

Chang Yufeng said: "My foolish brother has suffered heavy losses this time, but also gained a lot. I hope to give it a try. Brother Yiren, can you try to refine a soul weapon?"

An Yiren shook his head and said, "You need a master to master the Horcrux. Even if an ordinary refiner has the atlas, the failure rate is still high. Natural materials and treasures are precious. I can only try to challenge a master, but I dare not risk trying to surpass the master level."

Chu Kangtian said: "Looking at the surrounding areas of Beiwei State, the only one who is called the Grandmaster is the leader of the Changsheng Society, Mo Ruo, a genius and wise king of his generation, who is mature at a young age and qualified for the position."

Chang Yufeng said: "Mo Ruo has refined the Black Ruins Cauldron and ranked in the top ten of the Tianbao Ranking. He is a new Grandmaster at such a young age and is famous all over the world. It is really amazing. The old Ming Wangs like Lin Zhengyuan have to give him some face, because they really need him. But Mo Ruo's labor is expensive. Before Qingguang Bronze Mother finds a buyer, I am afraid he can't afford it."

With the right materials to practice with, Li Tong's guidance, and Si Ye's help, Cheng Bai thought there would be no problem, so he said, "If Yu Feng trusts me, I am willing to devote all my efforts to forging a holy sword."

Chang Yufeng hesitated and asked, "Do you have a Soul Weapon Holy Sword? Can I see it?"

Chu Kangtian encouraged him, "Master Cheng has profound skills in refining weapons. He once caused a heavenly calamity when refining a magic weapon, and it overwhelmed Qian'an City, but he failed. If you don't require a heavenly soul weapon, you will surely succeed."

Empty words mean that there is nothing.

Chang Yufeng didn't dare to make a decision easily, and evaded the question, saying, "Let me gather all the materials, report to the master, and then make a decision."

"If you are worried, Brother Chang, you might as well divide this piece of shadowless steel into two parts. One part for me to refine, and one part for others to refine. It doesn't matter if the size is large. There is also a chance that each of them can produce a Horcrux sword. By comparing the two, we can know which one is better."

Cheng Bai left the proposal to Chang Yufeng for serious consideration. In his spare time, he and An Yiren borrowed a quiet room in Xianhua Pavilion to study the Xingxiu Pearl thoroughly together.

An Yiren asked curiously, "Dabai, have you really tried to refine a top-grade soul weapon?"

Cheng Bai thought for a while and said, "Strictly speaking, it's not the refining of a top-grade soul weapon." In fact, it's the upgrading of a top-grade spiritual weapon to a top-grade soul weapon, which is quite different in meaning.

An Yiren heaved a sigh of relief and said, "That's right. Unless the emperor's son has obtained the supreme inheritance of the Pangu clan, and the legendary emperor's teacher has personally taught him and strictly controlled the quality, it would be impossible to be so exaggerated."

Cheng Bai was surprised and asked, "What imperial teacher?"

An Yiren said, "Ancient myths have been passed down from generation to generation. In ancient times... no, perhaps as far back as the ancient times, the Pangu clan's weapon-refining master was able to refine a kind of inherited immortal weapon to teach the emperor's son. It stored billions of years of knowledge and wisdom, and was known as the emperor's teacher. The masters of extraordinary sects could not even dream of being like him. Unfortunately, no one has ever seen it."

Cheng Bai thought of Li Tong's cheerful appearance all day long, and thought silently in his heart: "Can this guy also be called the Imperial Master?"

However, the ability of the inherited Rubik's Cube is unquestionable. Without Li Tong's support along the way, it would never be smooth sailing whether it is cultivation or refining equipment and medicine.

The Xingxiu Bead is shaped like a ball and looks smooth on the surface, but after being cracked by two weapon refiners, it has become uneven due to its many ups and downs and stretches.

An Yiren analyzed: "There are many types of Xingxiu beads. This one is a top-grade spiritual weapon, but it can control a higher-grade Void Spirit Boat."

Cheng Bai identified it and said, "It has 228 restrictions, and it is the most complicated spiritual weapon I have ever seen."

An Yiren shook his head and said, "Not only that. I guess this is your first time studying the Constellation Pearl. You can see the 228 restrictions on the outer layer, but your eyesight is very good. In fact, there are four layers of 28 restrictions inside the Constellation Pearl, a total of 256 restrictions inside and outside, layer by layer, linked together, the mystery is far better than the Wandering Soul Pearl."

Cheng Bai slowly disassembled it and took a closer look. It was indeed the case. He said solemnly, "Thank you for your advice."

Seeing An Yiren analyzing and disassembling the Star Constellation Beads, he secretly admired him and thought, "This is definitely not An Yiren's first time in contact with the Star Constellation Beads. He has learned a lot and must have hidden his knowledge."

An Yiren gradually unfolded the entire Star Pearl, which became much larger in size. Its shape was layered like a blooming lotus, and all the exquisite details inside were in full view.

Cheng Bai was ecstatic and praised endlessly, "That's great. Taoism follows the principles of yin and yang, and first gave birth to two opposites, two opposites gave birth to four symbols, and four symbols gave birth to eight trigrams. And so on, the Star Pearl is not its ultimate form, and after development and perfection, there will be higher... higher... " But he didn't know how to express it in words.

An Yiren replied, "Tongtianzhu."

Seeing that Cheng Bai didn't understand, he explained, "The Tongtian Pearl is of a higher grade than the Xingxiu Pearl. It is said that it can control a spirit boat at the speed of light and travel through the heavens and myriad realms. However, this grade of soul weapon is too complicated, and its use is limited. Looking at the world, only the weapon refining masters of the Wantong Xuan Sect can master it."

Cheng Bai benefited a lot and said with admiration: "Yi Ren is definitely not an ordinary weapon refiner. I wonder where his master is?"

An Yiren said nonchalantly, "I am a casual cultivator with no sect or school. I wander around and change jobs frequently. I only settled down in Taowu Academy in recent years."

Cheng Bai was quite surprised and said, "The Five Continents worship the way of immortals and saints, and they have their own teachers. It seems that they don't value people who are displaced."

An Yiren said, "Isn't it? Being born in a master's family is highly respected by the world. How can a person like me who can't stand firmly on my feet be welcomed? Taowu Academy saw that I have some knowledge and hired me as an assistant teacher. Although it is just an honorary position, it is already a rare high position with rich salary."

Cheng Bai smiled and said, "The way to live in seclusion is to hide in the city. If Yi people really want to stand out, they will definitely not be in the current situation."

"Lend your auspicious words."

An Yiren chuckled and suggested, "Brother Dabai, how about you give this Star Pearl to me? It weighs about 50 kilograms, and is worth 900,000 taels of gold according to the market price. We will split it equally among the four of us, and I will pay you 225,000 taels. Brother Chang and Miss Feng have already agreed to my request."

The price is lower if only the materials are converted, but the auction commission is saved...

Cheng Bai thought about it and nodded, "Okay, then there's no need to auction it."

The two studied it for a long time and had a great conversation. They reassembled the Star Pearl and handed it to An Yiren.
