The Great Wild God - Chapter 188

Chapter 188 Hundred Heavenly Gold Techniques
Two days later, the purple-robed woman returned the spatial ring to Chen Xun.

Chen Xun discovered that there were dozens of ingots of crimson black gold, Nine Nether Iron, and Silk Books like the Shadow Separation Technique hidden in his spatial ring. Not a single one of them was missing, and even the Star Iron Demon’s body was lying in his storage space like a pile of scrap metal.

Chen Xun didn’t even have the ability to repair the Star Iron Demon Body at this moment, and the purple-robed woman was still helpless.

Those tens of ingots of Crimson Dark Gold and Nine Nether Iron were priceless. Apart from refining magic tools, they could also be used as hard currency to exchange for cultivation resources in the big city. However, the purple-clothed woman didn’t care what she saw and liked to rob them. These Crimson Dark Gold and Nine Nether Iron had become something else to her.

As for profound arts like the [Shadow Separation Art], they naturally couldn’t enter the purple-clothed woman’s eyes.

However, there was a condition for the purple-robed woman to return the spatial ring to Chen Xun. She wanted Chen Xun to refine a Spirit Gathering Array that could truly assist her in cultivating.

The purple-robed woman even tossed him a thick silk book with the words “Hundred Methods of Gold” written on it.

At first, Chen Xun didn’t know what the purple-robed woman meant, but when he opened it, his heart was filled with ecstasy. All of the records in the Geng Jin Hundred Techniques were golden stone-type magical artifacts. Formation refining techniques could be said to be an alchemist’s golden stone encyclopedia.

Although this book did not deal with refining magical artifacts above the Earth Stage, nor was it as complicated and profound as the Profound Evolution Technique, Chen Xun knew in his heart how important this book would be to raising the level of refining magical artifacts and comprehending the Profound Evolution Technique.

This was the first time Chen Xun felt that the purple-robed woman wasn’t too bad.

Although Cang Lan sold cultivation techniques and pill recipes to the outside world, he could only treat artifact forging as a secret that was not passed down to the outside world, and it was forbidden to privately grant cultivation techniques to tribes and other sects.

In Cang Lan, even a Nine Yang Pill’s pill recipe cost more than a hundred thousand talismans.

Any talisman artifact’s refining value would definitely not be inferior to the Nine Yang Pill’s pill formula.

Chen Xun roughly flipped through the book, and found 67 talisman artifacts, 26 advanced talisman artifacts, and seven formation refining methods.

He thought to himself, during this period of time, his comprehension of the Mysterious Evolution Art was very deep. As long as he was given enough time and enough gold and stone materials, he would be able to refine almost all of the twenty-six advanced magic tools and seven magic formations. After refining these twenty-six advanced magical artifacts and seven magical arrays, his mastery of the Mysterious Evolution Technique would also enter a level that he had never reached before.

Although Chen Xun had long since mastered the first layer of the Profound Evolution Art, mastery and comprehension were two different concepts. At the very least, there were still too many benefits that he hadn’t fully grasped in the first layer of the Profound Evolution Art.

To grasp and comprehend all these wonders, even if Chen Xun was temporarily unable to refine Earth-ranked magical artifacts, he could still be considered a Grandmaster amongst artificers.

However, when Chen Xun opened the last page of the Hundred Methods of Geng Jin and saw that there was a book collection stamp from the Marquis Manor of Yuan Dynasty, he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Thinking about it, from the fact that the four mountains and rivers formation and the Soul Suppressing Dragon Subduing Pillar were of the same lineage, it could be seen that the 64 copper pillars and guardian formations set up by the Azure Water School at the peak of the Dragon Binding Mountain were actually from Mansion of Marquis Martial.

Yuanwu Marquis Manor was indeed the number one artifact forging clan in the Northwest Region. If it wasn’t for the fact that he had stolen the Geng Jin Hundred Techniques from Yuanwu Marquis Manor, Chen Xun wouldn’t have imagined that a purple-clothed woman with such a poor artifact forging skill would bring along artifact forging manuals with her. I really don’t know how many other good things the purple-robed woman stole from the Marquis Yuan’s Mansion apart from the Soul Suppressing Dragon Subduing Pillar.

Chen Xun was also curious about the relationship between the purple-robed woman and the Marquis of Yuan Dynasty.

Chen Xun didn’t even know the name of the purple-clothed woman, so the sect naturally wouldn’t believe her words. If the purple-clothed woman stole the Soul Suppressing Dragon Subduing Pillar in a flash, the Marquis Yuan’s Manor wouldn’t dare to kill the purple-clothed woman because they were afraid of the sect behind her, so they could only take it back.

It would be strange if the purple-robed woman swept through the Marquis Yuan’s Mansion, causing the entire mansion to be turned upside down and the Marquis Yuan’s Mansion to be swallowed warmly as if there was no one else.

The Yuanwu Marquis Manor was a county marquis conferred by the Xi Martial Emperor Dynasty. The current Yuanwu Marquis was the fourth grandson of the previous generation of the Xi Martial Emperor. He was a member of the Jiang Clan, and his bloodline was not far from the Imperial Clan.

As long as it was reasonable, even if the Yuanwu Marquis Manor killed the direct descendants of the Dragon Gate Sect and Tao Jinghong’s direct granddaughter, would Tao Jinghong still be able to overthrow the Yuanwu Marquis Manor with his sword?

The purple-clothed woman snatched away the treasure. Chen Xun suspected that she had sneaked out of the sect and probably didn’t bring any magical artifacts with her. He looked outside the stone hall and suspected that the azure jade carriage had been snatched from Mansion of Marquis Martial.

Chen Xun suspected that the Dark Scaled Sly, who couldn’t tell if it had formed a Core, might have the same fate as him and Li Yu, and was forced to work for the purple-clothed woman.

If it was anyone else, they wouldn’t dare to learn the secret arts that Mansion of Marquis Martial had stolen. Once Mansion of Marquis Martial noticed, there would definitely be no good fruit to eat. The light ones would wipe away their soul awareness, and the heavy ones would be killed on the spot. However, Chen Xun was not afraid of biting if he had too many lice.

If he didn’t even dare to look through the Geng Jin Hundred Techniques, wouldn’t he let the purple-robed woman look down on him?

It was not easy for him to merge the four Dragon Subduing Pillars into the Spirit Gathering Restraint. He urgently needed an Encyclopedia of Metal and Stone Refining, such as the “Hundred Heavenly Gold Techniques”, to confirm his previous comprehension of the Mysterious Evolution Technique and some of his ideas on the restriction formation.

The purple-robed woman asked him to refine a spirit gathering array that could truly assist her in cultivating. It was truly not an easy task.

The young woman in purple said that she had a cultivation of the middle Heaven Origin Realm. Her ability to absorb spiritual energy for cultivation was more than ten to twenty times stronger than his and Li Yu’s.

In other words, if the concentration of spiritual energy in the stone acupoint was just enough for him and Li Yu to cultivate, then the spiritual energy would need to be ten to twenty times stronger in order not to slow down the cultivation speed of the purple-clothed woman.

If the purple-clothed woman did not return to the sect and wandered around all day long, only by using the four Dragon Subduing Pillars as Spirit Gathering Copper Seals and fusing them into the Spirit Gathering Restraint would she be able to gather enough spiritual energy to cultivate in the wilderness.

If such a Spirit Gathering Array was placed in the stone acupoint to maintain an adequate supply of spiritual energy, the Soul Suppressing Dragon Subduing Pillar stolen from Marquis Yuan Wu’s Manor would at least be 40-50% more powerful in the hands of the purple-clothed woman.

At that time, even if Jiang Xingkong brought the Eight Desolate Flag to battle, the purple-robed woman would no longer need to avoid its sharpness.

Chen Xun’s new Spirit Gathering Array was the same size as the Four-Pillar Mountain and River Array. The diameter of the array disc was four feet. Even if it was made of pure copper, the total weight of the array disc was still as high as 30,000 jin.

Chen Xun imitated the Nine Beasts Yang Refining Furnace and the secret technique recorded in the Hundred Heavenly Gold Techniques. He first refined a furnace that could convert the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth into the Profound Yang Flame. With Li Yu’s help, he spent another two months before he used 40,000 jin of Scarlet Essence Copper to cast the Formation Blank Holder.

Of course, during this period of time, Chen Xun had to continue to perfect the Spirit Gathering Restraint with reference to the [Hundred Heavenly Gold Techniques].

Only a complete profound talisman formation could be called a restriction.

On top of the restrictive engraved individual artifact was a magical artifact.

According to the complexity of the profound talisman formations and the power of the divine abilities that could evolve, magical artifacts were divided into three levels: Earth, Heaven, and Dao.

Restraints can be engraved on different components at the same time, and when combined together, they can also evolve spells and divine abilities, that is, formations.

Therefore, magical artifacts and formations were not fundamentally different.

The Spirit Gathering Formation created by the Cyanwood Dao could be said to be rather crude. It could only be considered perfect when it was in Chen Xun’s hands. It could truly be said to be a Spirit Gathering restriction.

Chen Xun waited for the injuries on his spirit veins to heal. He found the purple-robed woman and told her that it was easy to melt the formation base, but if he wanted to engrave the Spirit Gathering restriction on the formation copper plate that had an extremely complicated structure, the circulation of spiritual energy in the middle would not stop for a moment. It was far beyond his ability.

“You can borrow my Spirit Essence to refine your Spirit Veins, but if you can’t refine this Spirit Gathering Array Disk, I’ll peel off your skin carefully.” The purple-robed woman said fiercely. However, she knew that if she wanted to merge the four Dragon Subduing Pillars into the Spirit Gathering Formation, it would be a hundred times more complicated than an ordinary Spirit Gathering Formation. She could only personally help Chen Xun refine the formation.

************************

The purple-clothed woman sat upright in front of Chen Xun and spat out the incomparably pure spiritual energy in her body, like a white mist dragon wrapping around Chen Xun’s body.

At this moment, Chen Xun still felt that the purple-clothed woman’s cultivation was unfathomable. The purity of her spiritual essence was far from being comparable to the spiritual energy formed by the Mysterious Ice Fire Lake in his body. It was even comparable to the life essence contained in the pigeon roc egg that he and Ah Qing shared back then.

Chen Xun didn’t miss the opportunity to introduce the purple-clothed woman’s Spirit Essence into his Spirit Sea. It was as if a silent spring rain had sneaked into his Spirit Sea, causing the Spirit Essence that had entered his Spirit Veins to be completely silent. It was also filled with vitality, and it was about to start moving.

Chen Xun didn’t know why there was such a phenomenon, but he also knew that if he could absorb the spiritual essence of the purple-clothed woman into his body and fuse it with his soul and fate essence, he would be able to easily break through to the early stage of the Reincarnation Realm.

However, Chen Xun did not dare to refine the spirit essence she had crossed under the purple-clothed woman’s nose and eyes, concentrate on the scarlet copper plate, and convert the spirit essence that the purple-clothed woman had crossed into the Profound Yang True Fire to engrave the spirit gathering restriction, fearing that there would be a sliver of error.

Ten days later, Chen Xun finally engraved the Spirit Gathering Restraint. After exhausting too much energy, he sat paralyzed on the ground and could only watch as the purple-robed woman inserted the four Dragon Subduing Pillars into the array disc.

The purple-clothed woman injected a bit of her spiritual sense and the four Dragon Subduing Piles embedded in the Spirit Gathering Array Disk let out dragon roars. The stone acupoint was only several dozen feet deep, but it stirred up the wind and clouds. The commotion was not under the genuine Soul Suppressing Dragon Subduing Piles in the slightest.

Spirit Qi swirled over and gradually turned into azure clouds, causing Chen Xun’s heart to be filled with excitement.

Although the most complicated four-pillar Dragon Subduing Pillar was not something he had the ability to refine at this moment, the Spirit Gathering Restraint that fused the power of him and Daoist Cyanwood was no less valuable than ordinary Earth-ranked magical artifacts. It was enough to make him proud.

This Spirit Gathering Formation could also be combined with the previous Four-Pillar Mountain River Formation. This meant that the Four-Pillar Mountain River Formation, which could only be placed on Spiritual Acupoints and Spiritual Veins, could still display 40-50% of its power even in the Desolate Wild Ridge. It could be said to be a brand new Spirit Gathering Mountain River Formation.

Chen Xun thought to himself, as long as he met a Tianyuan Realm expert like Jiang Xingkong again, as long as the other party didn’t have a heaven-defying magical artifact like the Eight Desolates Flag, it wasn’t like he didn’t have the strength to fight with the Spirit Gathering Mountain River Formation.

“This is mine” The purple-robed woman’s words directly shattered Chen Xun’s fantasies.

Chen Xun once again greeted the eighteen generations of the purple-clothed woman’s ancestors and the eighteen generations of the sect’s ancestors in his heart. He smiled and said, “As long as the big boss likes it, just take it.”

Chen Xun wanted to exchange the Spirit Gathering Mountain and River Array for the “Hundred Heavenly Gold Techniques”, but it wasn’t too bad, so he could only comfort himself in this way.

“I like you, too.” The purple-robed woman looked up and down at Chen Xun.

Chen Xun couldn’t help but shiver as if he had been stripped naked.

However, the purple-clothed woman’s own spiritual energy could be used up by him for ten days. Chen Xun knew that without one or two Heaven Ranked supreme treasures in hand, he was truly no match for the purple-clothed woman. He could only smile and say, “I can still be of some use to the head of the clan. That’s really great.”
