The Great Wild God - Chapter 210
Chapter 210 No Rain
“Do you think you can gain a foothold in the Divine Night Sect just by becoming close to Zhao Cheng’en and the others?” Chang Xi fiddled with the fingernails that had just been painted with bright red cardamom and looked at Chen Xun with ill intentions.
Chen Xun saw Chang Xi sitting on the tall window eaves of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion. “Big Boss, you’ve wronged me.” Her slender and well-balanced body seemed to be swept away by a gust of wind at any time. She could not guess her thoughts from her extremely beautiful face, so she could only smile bitterly. “If the Big Boss really suspects me, I can at most slap my butt and leave. I think the Divine Night Sect will also make things difficult for me, an outer sect disciple who has only just entered the sect for more than a month.”
There were more than a hundred thousand outer sect disciples of the Divine Night Sect. Every year, thousands of people would leave the sect for various reasons, and the Divine Night Sect would not pursue them.
After all, the Divine Night Sect also hoped that some outer sect disciples who were not destined to cultivate would be eliminated in time so that they could continuously replenish their fresh blood.
Only truly talented disciples with extraordinary bones would be enrolled in the inner sect.
If he could not negotiate with Chang Xi, and if Chang Xi did not restrain herself from extorting money, then no matter how good the Divine Night Sect was, it would not be Chen Xun’s place to stay for long.
Instead of splitting up in displeasure, it would be better to leave right now with a pat on the butt.
Although the resources of the Thousand Sword Sect were far inferior to those of the Divine Night Sect, Chen Xun believed that if he were to join the Thousand Sword Sect, his situation would be much better than in the Divine Night Sect.
“Other disciples, take out the materials that I entrusted to you to forge weapons. Regardless of whether you can forge magic tools or not, I will accept 20%. If you have anything to do in the future, I will bear it for you.” Chang Xi saw the pressure and changed the temptation, saying, “You can entrust the chores under your name to someone else.”
“I’ll give you 10% of the forging materials. It can also be considered as my reward for living in Cuiwei Lake. Your troubles may not be less than mine. I’ll rely on my skill to eat, unlike you who cause trouble everywhere.” Chen Xun said.
“You sound like a good baby in Canglan?” Chang Xi said disdainfully.
“After I arrived at the Divine Night Sect, did I start a new life?” Chen Xun said.
Chang Xi gritted her beautiful red lips and weighed it for a moment before saying, “10% of the time, but you and I disciples of Cuiwei Lake are not going to ask you to forge any magical artifacts, are you?”
Chen Xun wasn’t stupid. How could he ask Chang Xi to take advantage of his loophole and ask with a dejected face, “Senior Sister Chang Xi, how much time do you think I can squeeze out to help people refine magical artifacts? At most, for every new magical artifact I refine, I’ll give one to Senior Sister as a token of filial piety.”
Chen Xun had his forging skills, so he could naturally transfer to the forging academy to cultivate. However, even Gu Yangfeng’s forging academy was unfamiliar to him.
Although Chang Xi was notorious, Chen Xun knew that her face was disgusting. At the very least, when Jiang Xingkong was chasing after her, he didn’t leave Li Yu to flee alone. He was more trustworthy than the others.
As long as it was possible, he still wanted to stay in Cuiwei Lake to cultivate.
‘”Alright, alright. You’re a grown man. You’ve got a long face when you argue with me like this.” Chang Xi sat on the eaves of the window, stretched her waist, and said helplessly, “I’m the eldest senior sister of Cuiwei Lake. Cuiwei Lake relies on raising a few hundred spirit birds. My income is low, and I have to take care of so many disciples. I’m also very tired.” If it weren’t for my master keeping an eye on them, I would have secretly sold those hundreds of wild goose cranes … ”
Chen Xun thought to himself, if those hundreds of spirit birds were stolen and sold, they would really be worth a lot of money. Of course, this matter could only be considered in his heart.
A red-beaked geese laying a few eggs could be counted clearly, so how could there be any room to exploit?
Chen Xun raised his head and saw Chang Xi stretch her waist, revealing a piece of flesh that looked like snow and jade, shaking people’s eyes, while she pretended to be lazy, and her extremely beautiful face was even more indescribably alluring.
He was busy sitting upright. He would never lose his mind just because Chang Xi revealed a little beauty and let her take advantage of him everywhere.
‘”You really are a boring person,” Chang Xi’s beautiful eyes swept across Chen Xun and she stood on the eaves of the window. “Seeing that you have already purchased the Profound Yang magical artifact from the Myriad Pine Valley, I presume that in a month’s time, the sect will unite the disciples of the various sects to enter Tu Shan to slaughter the demons. I don’t think I need to remind you of anything else …”
Before that soft and charming voice could finish, Chang Xi had already disappeared into the clouds. Chen Xun shook his head and smiled. Only then did he open the door and invite Gu Chengzhuo, Lei Wanhe, and the others who had waited outside for a long time to enter the room for a drink and banquet …
********************
Chen Xun stayed in Myriad Pine Valley for three days. In the name of borrowing the experience of the various artifact forging institutes, he exchanged twenty ingots of Crimson Black Gold for dozens of Xuanyang magical artifacts, Jade Toad Pills, and other large amounts of spirit medicines, and stored them in his spatial ring.
Three days later, Chen Xun, Lei Wanhe, and the others returned to Cuiwei Lake.
Gu Chengzhuo also took the Nine Nether Iron and other forging materials on behalf of Zhao Chengen and rushed over to look for him.
After deducting the consumption of so many refining materials, it was enough for Chen Xun to refine fifty Azure Flame Lotus Arrows. It could be seen that Zhao Cheng’en also felt that Chen Xun’s reward for refining one of the two was too cheap, so he added some extra refining materials to make up for it.
The core of the Azure Flame Lotus Arrow was the arrow. Unless one cultivated the Azure Flame Lotus Art, one could not generate the Azure Flame Chen Xun couldn’t reveal the secret technique of sealing the Cyan Flame Lotus Fire with the Nine Nether Iron, so he needed to personally refine this part.
The arrow shaft and tail plume weren’t much different from ordinary secret talisman arrows, so Chen Xun directly went to the disciples of the Weapon Refining Academy to refine them.
Perhaps because of Zhou Yang, the Weaponry Refining Academy demanded that they be rewarded with a Green Flame Lotus Arrow.
The Green Flame Lotus Arrow that Chen Xun could refine at this moment could only be considered an embryonic form.
After Chen Xun comprehended the second level of the Mysterious Evolution Art, he came up with a lot of ideas.
But when he thought that a month later, the Divine Night Sect would organize large-scale disciples to enter Tu Shan to wipe out the demons, Chen Xun could only seize the time to refine a batch of Azure Flame Lotus Arrows to deal with emergencies, instead of seeking a breakthrough at this time.
A month later, Chen Xun hurriedly refined forty Green Flame Lotus Arrows.
Chang Xi took six and gave one to Gu Yangfeng Weaponry Refining Academy as a reward for refining the arrow shaft and tail plume. Zhao Cheng’en also reserved three more according to the previous number.
In this way, apart from the fifteen Cyan Flame Lotus Arrows in Chen Xun’s hand, he still had four hundred kilograms of Nine Nether Iron and other forging materials left.
This kind of harvest made Lei Wanhe envious and wanted to wipe his face to worship Chen Xun as his master and learn artifact forging techniques.
*******************
At this time, the news that the Divine Night Sect had joined forces with the disciples of the various sects of the Northwest Region to go into Mount Tu to wipe out magical creatures and explore the spatial rift of the Thousand Demon Realm had already spread throughout the sect.
The normally quiet Divine Night Sect instantly became lively. Many disciples of Cuiwei Lake had been discussing the matter of exterminating devils these past two days.
On Cuiwei Lake, apart from Chen Xun, Lei Wanhe, Yu Wenying, Yu Wenyuan, and a dozen other inner and outer sect disciples had all signed up to join Tushan in exterminating the demons.
Just as Chang Xi had said, Cuiwei Lake only relied on raising a few hundred spirit birds. The rewards it could obtain from the sect were very limited. Besides obtaining disciples’ trial results, participating in the various activities of the sect, hunting magical creatures, obtaining blood pills, and handing them over to the sect could also obtain abundant rewards.
At this time, the Divine Night Sect, apart from exploring some of the situations they had entered the Absolute Mountain Ridge of Tu Mountain earlier, had also announced the ancient records of the Thousand Devil Sect from thousands of years ago, hoping that the disciples participating in the extermination of the Devil Sect would be sufficiently vigilant and prepared.
The Divine Night Sect also specifically warned disciples not to privately refine blood pills, so as to avoid being corroded by demons and injuring the foundation of the Dao.
On the eve of officially opening the sect, Zhao Cheng’en rushed to Cuiwei Lake.
Zhao Cheng’en wasn’t in a hurry to find Chang Xi. Instead, he and Gu Cheng Zhuo came directly to find Chen Xun.
“What kind of price would it take to refine the Spirit Gathering Mountain River Formation?” Zhao Cheng’en’s bright and handsome eyes couldn’t conceal his exhaustion as he entered the courtyard where Chen Xun lived and sat down straight to the main topic.
Chen Xun could also see that Zhao Cheng’en had fully grasped the wonders of the Spirit Gathering Mountain and River Array in the past month, so he ran over and went straight to the main topic.
“My cultivation is limited. It was Senior Sister Chang Xi who helped me with the Spirit Crossing Secret Technique back then. I didn’t rest for ten days before I successfully refined a Spirit Gathering Restriction. This was a fluke. I only succeeded once. Otherwise, I’m afraid that Senior Sister Chang Xi’s cultivation would have been drained for another year or two.” Chen Xun smiled bitterly and told Zhao Cheng’en all about the hard work of refining the Spirit Gathering Mountain River Array.
Zhao Cheng’en sighed and said, “If it weren’t for Chang Xi entering Tu Shan this time, I would have been able to borrow it for another month or two.”
Even if the Spirit Gathering Mountain River Formation could be successfully refined in one go, and even if Zhao Cheng’en was willing to waste a year or two of his cultivation, he would not have the time to do so before entering the Tu Mountain.
“Senior Brother Zhao, please keep this a secret for me.” Chen Xun said.
Zhao Cheng’en nodded. He knew that Chen Xun had trusted him by telling the truth.
Otherwise, even if others were willing to pay such a high price, Chen Xun would not be willing to work with others to refine the Spirit Gathering Restriction without knowing the root of the matter.
Apart from the eighteen Azure Flame Lotus Arrows, Chen Xun took out a small Spirit Gathering Formation from his spatial ring and handed it to Zhao Cheng’en, saying, “This is a Spirit Gathering restriction that Chen Xun can refine within the limits of his abilities. I hope Senior Brother Zhao doesn’t think it’s too bad …”
“The depths of Mount Tu’s Absolute Mountain Ridge are filled with demonic fiends. The slightest bit of carelessness will erode your soul. Can you refine a spirit gathering restriction that can directly infuse spiritual energy into magical artifacts?” Zhao Cheng’en did not hurry to receive the Green Flame Lotus Arrow and asked.
Chen Xun had already guessed that Zhao Cheng’en had returned so exhausted, and had even suffered a considerable amount of hidden injuries. Most likely, he had asked the Divine Night Sect to send him back to Tu Shan first to investigate, but he hadn’t expected this to be the case.
Demon Fiend was also a type of spiritual energy that could be channeled into magical artifacts to convert spiritual energy.
Normally, cultivators would need to inject spiritual sense into their artifacts in order to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Cultivators who brought this magical artifact into the Demon Fiend Polluted Lands wanted to directly absorb the Demon Fiend. The Spiritual Sense of the Divine Soul could easily suffer the backlash of the Demon Fiend.
At this time, cultivators would have to use magic tools to defend against enemies, and at the same time, they would have to guard against the demonic fiend’s backlash on their spiritual sense. It would be extremely difficult. If he accidentally called Demon Fiend to invade his spiritual veins and spiritual seas, it would be extremely troublesome, and it was even more likely that he would injure his life elemental dao foundation. Even a Heavenly Elemental Realm expert could not help but look at it with caution.
If there was a Spirit Gathering Restriction that could directly inject spirit into a magical artifact, then xiuzhe wouldn’t have to worry that their Spiritual Sense would suffer the backlash of the demon fiend. This was equivalent to automatically instilling spirit into a magical artifact.
This is theoretically feasible.
For example, the Spirit Gathering Mountain River Formation, the Spirit Gathering Restriction, and the Four Pillars Mountain River Formation could be chimed together to restrain the demonic fiend’s backlash.
However, this Spirit Gathering Restriction required him to thoroughly comprehend the Profound Evolution Technique and thoroughly comprehend the internal restrictions of the Four Pillars Mountain River Formation before he could attempt to refine it. It was far from something that he had the ability to accomplish at this moment.
However, he and Zhao Cheng’en weren’t familiar with each other to the point where they could tell each other everything. Chen Xun only wrinkled his brows and smiled bitterly, saying, “The Spirit Gathering Restriction was actually created by a fellow apprentice of Chen Xun. I only learned a little.”
Zhao Cheng’en sighed regretfully. He took out a silk book from his bosom and said, “Junior Brother Chen, if you enter Tu Shan, you’d better first cultivate this sect’s’ Demonic Scared Heart Curse ‘. If you discover demonic fiends invading your body, you must refine them in time, or else you will have endless troubles in the future.”
Chen Xun flipped through a few pages of the Demonic Fear Curse. It was indeed the same as the Kui Long Tian Yin and the Divine Refinement Art. They were both used to refine demons and suppress demons. They were used to strengthen the soul. Although they weren’t as exquisite as the Divine Concentration Art, they were still Zhao Cheng’en’s thoughts.
Looking at Zhao Cheng’en’s exhaustion, Chen Xun knew that even if the Divine Night Sect was a direct disciple, they would not be able to refine the true essence of blood and qi contained within the Blood Pill.
At this moment, Chen Xun knew that the profound dao techniques he had obtained from his Void Origin Secret Hall were truly superior to the great dao lineages of the Divine Night Sect and the others that had been passed down for tens of thousands of years.
“Thank you, Senior Brother Zhao.” Chen Xun thanked him.
“Chang Xi should have considered this matter carefully on the side of Cuiwei Lake. This is also an unnecessary move. There is nothing else I can thank for this Spirit Gathering Array.” Zhao Cheng’en smiled and looked at the Spirit Gathering Array that Chen Xun had given him.
Although it was difficult to obtain a Spirit Gathering Mountain River Formation in a short period of time, having such a small Spirit Gathering Formation was not a small harvest.
Even though the direct disciples were high and mighty in the Divine Night Sect, they always respected the artificers in the sect. Moreover, Chen Xun was young, and his talent in artificing was truly too dazzling.
