Chapter 189 Demonic Cultivator, Weapon Refiner's Legacy
Giant Bone Peak.
Three early Foundation Establishment stage demonic cultivators were revealed from the three streaks of black smoke. The one in the middle of these three demonic cultivators had the appearance of a pale-faced scholar, and on one of his shoulders was a white jade skull.
Inside the skull were two burning crimson soul flames.
The aura of corpses surrounding him was much denser than that on Giant Bone Peak.
On the left is an old black fox demon, holding a withered bone cane, with two slowly swaying fox tails behind him.
The one on the right is a demonic cultivator whose entire body is covered by a set of white bone armor. Only his pair of cold, vertical pupils are exposed; the rest of his body is protected.
"My three fellow Daoists, how have you been?"
The barefoot Lady White Bone emerged from the pavilion and bowed to the three early Foundation Establishment stage demonic cultivators before her.
"These formalities are unnecessary."
"I've heard that a Foundation Establishment cultivator has recently advanced to the next stage in Autumn Mist Mountain!"
"The previous price was probably too low."
"We can help you if you need the three of us, but you'll have to pay extra."
The pale-faced scholar, who was the leader of the three Foundation Establishment demonic cultivators, spoke in a solemn tone.
"Fellow Daoist, Su Baiyao is just a newly promoted Foundation Establishment cultivator."
"Without any magic treasures, but possessing only Foundation Establishment cultivation power, we both know that such a newly promoted Foundation Establishment cultivator is extremely easy to deal with."
"After killing him, we can even take away Su Baiyao's essence."
"The demon core within the body can also fetch a considerable amount of spirit stones."
"Fellow Daoist, you must have already calculated this deal, right?"
Lady White Bone frowned slightly. At that moment, a black wind drifted behind her, and the old bee demon landed beside her, its gaze sweeping over the pale-faced scholar and the others.
"That was naturally calculated."
"Otherwise, we wouldn't have traveled all this way to get here."
"We need 70% of all the harvest from that Crimson Flame Crystal Mine."
The pale-faced scholar paused for a moment, then continued.
"Seventy percent."
A fierce glint flashed in the eyes of the Bee Demon Old Monster.
Those old guys are really ruthless.
They, from Giant Bone Peak, had gone to great lengths to extract the location of the weak point in the protective array of the Crimson Flame Crystal Mine from Autumn Mist Mountain. The barrier-breaking talisman they used was also purchased from Xuanyu City at a high price.
These three who came to help demanded 70% of the reward right off the bat.
That's outrageous!
"it is good."
"As you wish."
"However, we must each sign a spiritual pact."
"Of the seventy percent, as for Su Baiyao, the newly promoted Foundation Establishment cultivator in Qiulan Mountain, whoever kills him gets to keep the spoils."
After hesitating for a moment, Lady White Bone decided to take a step back.
If it weren't for these three Foundation Establishment demonic cultivators disguised as Tribulation cultivators to help them attack the Crimson Flame Crystal Mine of Autumn Mine, the two Foundation Establishment cultivators would have been completely defeated once they made their move.
It would be very difficult to suppress the other cultivators in Qiulan Mountain.
"But we remember there's an old Foundation Establishment cultivator in Autumn Mist Mountain. He's nearing the end of his lifespan, so whoever kills him will be his spoils of war!"
Before the pale-faced scholar and his companions arrived, they had thoroughly investigated Qiulan Mountain. It turned out that the mountain had a long-term cooperative relationship with a weapon-refining shop in Xuanyu City.
The other party's Crimson Flame Crystal Mine is indeed extremely valuable. After so many years of mining, the clan must have accumulated a considerable amount of spirit stones.
"OK."
Lady White Bone nodded in response.
The old ape of Desolate Peak is nearing the end of his lifespan, and his strength is at most only 40-50% of what it used to be, so he is not worth worrying about at all.
His combat strength is estimated to be at the same level as that of Su Baiyao, who has just entered the Foundation Establishment stage.
Any one of them, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, could easily take on two opponents and withstand the attacks of the old and young Foundation Establishment cultivators.
"When are you going to make your move!?"
"Right now."
"We will first infiltrate the vicinity of the mine, rest and recuperate on the spot, and then attack the mine after midnight tonight."
A fierce glint flashed in Lady White Bone's eyes.
Several years ago, she had already begun planning the Qiulanshan mine project.
That desolate mountain is nearing the end of its lifespan; it is merely a crippled Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.
However, an unexpected change has occurred: a young Foundation Establishment cultivator has indeed appeared in Autumn Mist Mountain, and he is not even thirty years old yet, yet he has already advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage.
Such talent made Lady White Bone sense a sense of crisis.
Therefore.
The newly promoted Foundation Establishment cultivator pressed down on her like a boulder.
Such a young Foundation Establishment cultivator has a very high chance of advancing to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage in the future. It is not difficult for a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator to easily deal with two early-Foundation Establishment cultivators.
After that.
If Su Baiyao were to grow up, things would get out of hand.
What room for survival could Giant Bone Peak possibly have left? Especially since Giant Bone Peak had already secretly targeted the Qi Refining cultivators in Autumn Mist Mountain, and there were many hidden conflicts between the two.
After Qiulan Mountain gains power, their Giant Bone Peak and White Tiger Ridge will definitely be the enemy's first targets.
It was precisely for this reason that Lady White Bone contacted these three demonic cultivators who had previously worked together as cultivators in Xuan Yu City, successfully ambushing several Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.
During that period, it even caused quite a stir, until it alarmed a fake Core cultivator in Xuanyu City. Only then did Lady White Bone and the others flee in a sorry state, each returning to their respective lair.
They haven't joined forces since.
The one who made the move was a fake Core Formation cultivator from Xuanyu City.
There were only a few pseudo-core cultivators in the city, none of whom were capable of fighting against them, even for cultivators in the early stages of Foundation Establishment.
"it is good."
"Fellow Daoist White Bone, you're so decisive!"
"Now that we've finished this Autumn Mist Mountain deal, I wonder if you'd be interested in targeting a Foundation Establishment Immortal?"
"If the three of us were to devour that Foundation Establishment Immortal, we might inevitably end up covered in injuries."
"However, with the help of Fellow Daoist White Bone and Fellow Daoist Bee, things will be much easier."
At this moment, the pale-faced scholar nodded in response.
"A Foundation Establishment Immortal?"
"Of course."
Lady White Bone nodded slowly after hearing this.
The more cultivators' souls he filled into the Hundred Soul Banner, the better.
Now, in this Autumn Mist Mountain, Su Baiyao and Huang Yue are both her targets.
With the souls of two Foundation Establishment cultivators as the main souls, the power of his Hundred Soul Banner will definitely increase significantly.
Lady White Bone was already quite impatient, as were the other demonic cultivators, who were practicing demonic arts.
They were extremely interested in both the cultivator's spirit and his physical body.
All of that can be transformed into their own strength.
In the blink of an eye.
After more than ten breaths.
From the miasma and mist of Giant Bone Peak, I fell in love with reading, starting with Cola Novels. Five barely perceptible streaks of gray-black light flew out from the mountain ridge, heading straight towards the direction of Autumn Mist Mountain.
...
...
at the same time.
The Red Flame Crystal Mine is located in Red Qu Mountain.
This mountain was previously used to cultivate the first-grade low-level spiritual herb, Red Yeast Rice, which is why it has this name.
However, after discovering the presence of Crimson Flame Spirit Crystals in the area, all the Red Yeast Rice Spirit Grass was uprooted and the land was excavated into mine shafts leading directly underground.
Inside the mine.
Most of them were demon race members at the early stage of Qi Refining, as well as many human martial artists who were practicing body tempering, or human cultivators at the early stage of Qi Refining.
In the town of Qiuye.
The majority of them were ordinary little demons with low spiritual roots and bloodline aptitude.
Therefore, they choose to mine in this mine. The spirit stones they obtain each year are not a small amount for the residents of Qiuye Town.
now.
Inside a cave halfway up Hongqu Mountain.
The four Foundation Establishment cultivators were clinking glasses and exchanging toasts, while several servants at the mid-stage of Qi Refining or above were constantly setting out dishes of food.
There are also quite a few spiritual fruits.
"Junior Brother Su."
"I didn't expect you to come to my place right after you finished your seclusion. Let me toast you!"
"Congratulations on your successful advancement to Foundation Establishment."
"Junior brother, you are still young, and there is still a possibility for you to go further in the future."
"To be honest, we have enough Foundation Establishment cultivators in Qiulan Mountain now, more than enough to keep things under control."
"I'm in charge of the mine."
"There are two senior brothers in town: Black and Wilderness."
"With your talent, Junior Brother, you should go and explore Xuanyu City."
"If Junior Brother could master a weapon-refining technique, then Qiulan Mountain wouldn't need to continue cooperating with the Sun family's weapon-refining shop."
"In this way, we in Qiulan Mountain will be able to obtain even more spirit stones."
"Moreover, this mine will eventually be exhausted, but if we can use the remaining Crimson Flame Crystal ore to refine excellent magical artifacts and establish our Autumn Mist Mountain Refining Shop in Xuanyu City, even after the mine is exhausted and we have a reputation, we will still be able to stabilize the business in the refining shop."
"Of course, Junior Brother Su, I was just offering a suggestion."
"However, your senior brother Shan has a weapon refiner's inheritance, but it's only a first-grade superior one."
"But over the years, we have also accumulated some spirit stones in Qiulan Mountain."
"In Xuanyu City, we can work together to purchase a second-tier, low-grade weapon refiner's inheritance and entrust it entirely to our junior brother to study and cultivate."
At this moment, as Shan Jiajun looked at this handsome and otherworldly young Foundation Establishment cultivator, he was filled with emotion.
He knew it perfectly well in his heart.
Su Baiyao might be the key to Qiulan Mountain's escape from these mountains. Xuanyu City is not a good place to settle; it's a celestial city built by a Core Formation cultivator, and doing business there is difficult.
Any Foundation Establishment faction would want this.
After all, Xuanyu City has gathered so many Foundation Establishment forces from the surrounding area, and every year a large number of Qi Refining cultivators enter the city, all in order to seek the opportunity to establish their foundation.
That means that as long as one has a remarkable lineage of cultivation skills, opening a shop in the city is an extremely important trump card for any Foundation Establishment power.
Having a shop with its own power in Xuanyu City makes other forces hesitant to take action against it.
The cultivators and clansmen in the city, their enemies or those who had suffered calamities, could not be completely eradicated once they entered the city.
Xuanyu City.
With the current sixth-generation Xuan Yu Zhenren guarding the area, a genuine cultivator who has condensed his true core and is currently in his prime at the Core Formation stage, none of the surrounding Foundation Establishment forces dare to act recklessly.
immediately.
Pangolin took out an ancient jade slip from his storage bag and presented it to Lin Li.
Lin Li probed a wisp of his divine sense into the jade slip, which indeed contained the legacy of a weapon refiner.
Lin Li knew quite a bit about weapon crafting, having crafted weapons in his previous lives. Now, he possessed the power of the Frosttail Netherfire, his natal spirit fire when he was a spirit fox, which was at least a second-tier superior spirit fire.
If used for refining artifacts, it can at least refine second-tier high-grade magic artifacts.
In Lin Li's view, this weapon-refining inheritance was indeed fine; it was decent but not particularly outstanding, though it didn't lack anything either.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Shan."
"The pangolin also has the same idea."
Lin Li put the jade slip away and bowed.
"It would be perfect for Lin Li to cultivate the art of weapon crafting."
"It seems that in a few years, we in Qiulan Mountain will be able to have our own weapon-refining shop in Xuanyu City. At that time, the profits from refining the Crimson Flame Spirit Crystals in our mine into magic weapons will be even greater."
Seeing this, Huang Yue felt relieved.
It seems that having Pangolin bring this up himself was more effective than doing it himself.
After all, Junior Brother Shan had gifted him a second-grade low-level magic weapon flying needle, which cost him decades of his accumulated wealth. With this favor still in place, bringing up this matter again now wouldn't be a loss for Junior Brother Su, who could obtain a weapon refiner's inheritance.
"Hahaha!"
"Great news!"
"Let's drink to our hearts' content!"
Hei Tu, standing to the side, raised his cup and said with a smile.
The second-order formation in Qiulan Mountain is currently active at all times. Their location, Hongqu Mountain, is not far from Qiulan Mountain, and Qiulan Mountain currently has four Foundation Establishment cultivators. It is impossible for the nearby Foundation Establishment forces to make enemies with them at this time.
"it is good."
"Let's have a good drink."
Lin Li and the others immediately raised their right cups and drank them down in one gulp.
Right now.
Suddenly.
Pangolin's smile vanished abruptly, and a look of confusion appeared in his eyes.
But then his eyes filled with seriousness.
"Senior brother, junior brother."
"Cultivators are attacking the formation!"
"There are two auras of early Foundation Establishment cultivators."
"And it's also the weak point of the great formation."
At this moment, Shan Jia Jun suddenly stood up from his seat, glanced at Lin Li and the other two in front of him, and said in a very serious tone.
"Two Foundation Establishment cultivators?"
Huang Yue and Hei Tu both looked slightly surprised.
"Let's go take a look first."
"Let's test what their background is."
After exchanging glances, Huang Yue and the others slowly nodded and then transformed into several streaks of light, flying out of the cave.
...
...
now.
Outside the Hongqu Mountain formation.
The black-haired old fox demon and the bone-armored cultivator stood floating in the air. From the old fox demon's withered bone cane, hundreds of white bone serpents emerged and surrounded the outside of the formation.
It kept crashing into the array barrier below, causing ripples to rise and fall on the translucent red array shield.
