The muffled Blood Fiend Yin lightning exploded in the group of demons.
Zeng wangbei clicked his tongue as he looked at the tattered demon.”The power of the blood Fiend and Yin lightning is too strong. The more blood fiends there are, the stronger the yin lightning will be. This gourd is really a good treasure.”
“It’s indeed not bad,” Ji Shuanghua said.”Little uncle-master said that if it can accumulate enough demon blood essence and blood Fiend, this gourd might even be able to transform into a numinous treasure.”
“It’s enough for me to use until I reach the nascent soul realm.” Zeng wangbei smiled faintly.”Do you think Lu Tao will regret joining Jiang liuyun if he finds out that there’s such a good treasure?”
“Why didn’t you tell little uncle-master?” Ji Shuanghua asked.
“Little uncle-master already knew that he’s the number one prodigy of the ninth bloodline,” Zeng wangbei said softly.”Little uncle-master is too useless. This won’t do. I want you to help me.”
“What do you want to do?” Ji Shuanghua asked.
“Of course it’s to unite the next batch of geniuses who come to the sect.” Zeng wangbei chuckled and said,”Jiang liuyun has changed a long time ago. If there’s anyone in the hidden branch who can lead us, I only acknowledge young uncle-master.”
“I’m the same,” “But things aren’t that simple,” Ji Shuanghua said indifferently.
“No matter how complicated it is, we still have to do it.” Zeng wangbei kept the broken body of the demon into his gourd.”I don’t want to think about the disciples of the Sword range, but I have to rope in the geniuses of the other peaks. A sect is different from a hidden sect!”
Ji Shuanghua nodded, feeling deeply moved. In the hidden branch, one only needed to cultivate. At most, they would go out on missions or enter secret realms. Although there was competition, the atmosphere was good.
After returning to the allheaven immortal sect, Ji Shuanghua felt mentally exhausted not long after. Without the protection of her master and mountain range, she was surrounded by unfamiliar fellow sect members and even people who were secretly plotting against her.
If she hadn’t run into her young uncle-master and su qingluan, Ji Shuanghua felt that she would have been among the crowd and would have chosen to leave the sect. She would have either returned to the hidden sect or found a place to stay.
“Let’s not worry about that for now,” Ji Shuanghua said,”let’s work hard to cultivate the blood evil gourd! With this treasure, even if we’re weaker, we’ll still have a chance to help youngest uncle. ”
Zeng wangbei nodded. He instantly put some distance between him and Ji Shuanghua. The gourd in his hand emitted a blood-red light, which directly pierced through the demons. Regardless of whether they were demons of the first or second stage, they were all captured.
The two of them cooperated with each other tacitly. Like a swarm of locusts, they did not leave any demons behind. Under the feeding of a large number of demon corpses, a layer of mist appeared on the surface of the two bloody gourds.
“Has the blood mist been formed?” Chen jingzhai clicked his tongue as he looked at the six floating gourds.
From the very beginning, he had studied the methods of forging magic treasures, including some unorthodox methods. Of course, most of them were divine patterns.
The ability of Shen glyphs to devour flesh and blood was naturally compatible with the forging of unorthodox talismans. It did not take into account the compatibility of attributes or the matching of one’s own methods. It was completely based on the accumulation of resources.
The demonic blood and the demon’s blood essence were the only requirements of the demonic blood gourd. They were also the resources for its advancement. Without these two, the demonic blood gourd was equivalent to being useless, unless it became a spiritual treasure.
Although they were standard-issue Dharma Treasures, Chen jingzhai had never thought of making one-time Dharma Treasures ever since he started forging. Every single one of them had room for upgrading to a fourth-grade numinous treasure.
It was just a little difficult, and some had a higher success rate!
There was no doubt that the blood evil gourd could be upgraded to a higher level. As long as it devoured a large amount of blood evil and flesh of demons, it could continuously improve its self-generating power and finally form a spiritual embryo membrane.
The birth of the blood mist was the sign of the blood gourd reaching its limit for the first time.
“The blood mist is born. The blood lotus has nine petals. When it is full, the fetal membrane can be formed.”
“I wonder how much can six gourds hold?”
“Let’s try a demon of the third stage!”
“Eh, I get whatever I want!”
Chen jingzhai chuckled. His body drifted with the wind, and in an instant, he arrived in front of a demon of the third stage. It was a ghostly-faced Yaksha. It was extremely ugly, but it was tall and mighty.
Its body was covered in bones, and it was nine feet tall. Its blood-red hair looked a little disgusting. More importantly, it was holding a spear that looked quite good.
A blood-colored Calabash flew over like a meteor, crashing towards the ghost-faced Yaksha.
“Cultivator!!!”
“Arghh!” The ghost-faced Yaksha roared and instantly stabbed out with his spear. A flame condensed from blood and fiend shot out from the tip of the spear. This flame was filled with Yin and coldness, and it had a strong rotting smell.
The gourd ignored the flames and smashed the spear. Half of the ghost-faced Yaksha’s body was smashed to the ground, and his bone armor was shattered. Before he could wail, the gourd had already taken him away.
“So what if you can talk?” Chen jingzhai snorted coldly and casually took the long spear.
This long spear was actually cast from the red Yin steel, which was an extremely rare material among third-grade materials. Moreover, judging from the forging method, it was not made by a cultivator at all. It was more like it was made by mortals.
However, what kind of hammer could forge a third-grade superior-grade red refined Yin iron into the shape of a spear? He couldn’t just rely on the hammer to smash it. With one strike, even if the red refinement Yin iron was fine, the hammer would break.
Shaking his head, Chen jingzhai didn’t think too much about it and kept the red refined Yin iron. After all, it was a third-grade material and he had never had it before. Chen jingzhai was still very interested.
After that, he would continue to search for demon beasts of the third stage. He was fast, and his spiritual will was comparable to that of a late-stage nascent soul cultivator. He was even more efficient than su qingluan.
In the process of searching for demons of the third stage, Chen jingzhai did not forget to explore the second floor and search for other resources. He had a great harvest along the way, and even his Dragon Ring had a lot of blood evil stones.
After successfully picking the second iron root of the corpse locust tree, Chen jingzhai encountered the second demon of the third stage. It was different from the ghost-faced Yaksha, and was an ice flying corpse.
It was still in human form, but its fingers and toes were very short, while its nails were very long. On its back, there was a pair of icy wings that were like sharp swords, and its whole body was emitting a cold air.
This was the icy flying corpse. After devouring the frosty Qi, its body changed and it grew wings. Its senses were extremely sharp, and it noticed Chen jingzhai’s gaze the moment he looked over.
“Die!” The icy flying corpse roared in anger and spat out a ball of cold air.
Chen jingzhai was surprised to see the ball of curiosity turn into an ice spear in the air. It actually had a similar effect to his spell. As he clicked his tongue in wonder, the mouth of the gourd spewed out a demonic light.
The demonic blood light, which had been compressed to the extreme, spurted out the moment the spear approached. It was like a sword Qi sweeping across, breaking the ice spear inch by inch. The head of the icy flying corpse instantly flew into the air.
Chen jingzhai eagerly put away the corpses of the ice flying corpses. The two corpses of the demons of the third stage directly caused the blood mist in one of the gourds to condense into the shape of a blood-colored lotus flower with nine petals.
However, the nine-petaled Lotus was empty. If he wanted to fill up the refining pattern, he didn’t know how many demons he would need. He was afraid that demons of the third stage weren’t enough. The stronger the demon, the better the effect.
Not only that, but the remaining blood-colored mist was also corroded by the light blue. Cold air began to brew in the gourd, and the third offensive spell was born in the gourd.
“Ice spear, not bad!” Chen jingzhai muttered to himself.
On top of the dense evil blood, one could add another evil Qi to increase the attributes of the gourd. After the gourd devoured the frost evil Qi, it became a cold evil gourd.
The power of the ice spear was actually not bad, but the amount of frost Qi was too small. Chen jingzhai needed more. He needed to continue searching, and according to his experience, there should be frost Qi nearby.
With a tap of his foot, Chen jingzhai rose into the air and began to scan the area with his divine will.
Kachaa!
Three black jade jackals snapped the neck of a demon-faced Yaksha.
The two black jade jackals had already been beaten into a shriveled state, but this did not affect their movements.
If they were demonic beasts, they would have died long ago. However, they were puppets!
The chess pieces and the chessboard were one. As long as the chessboard was not destroyed, the chess pieces would not be completely destroyed.
This meant that the puppet that the chess piece had transformed into was undying to a certain extent.
This was the Dao of puppets.
The demon-faced Yaksha’s bones couldn’t withstand the black jade Jackal’s bite, and it couldn’t detect the invisible black jade Jackal in its hunting stance. That was why Su qingluan had used it.
“The dire-ice gourd?” Su qingluan chuckled as her eyes locked onto the blood-colored altar.
It was an altar with a diameter of thirty feet, and it was the first altar she had found that was completely undamaged. It was guarded by the ghost-faced Yaksha of the third stage, and 21 multi-eyed demons scattered around, as if waiting for her to harvest them.
With a flick of his finger, an empty chess piece flew out and landed on the ghost-faced Yaksha’s body. A faint blood-red light appeared on the chess piece, and the ghost-faced Yaksha reappeared.
It was still holding onto the Crimson Metal spear even though it was injured. It looked no different from before, but it was now the first demon chess piece on the demon beast chessboard. It was a third-grade demon chess piece.
“Not bad!” Su qingluan put away the demonic beast chess piece with a smile.
The blood evil gourd flew out and collected the multi-eyed demon’s body. Then, it spat out blood evil Yin Thunder and destroyed the blood Altar. A wisp of pure blood evil Qi was absorbed by the gourd.
On the gourd, the blood mist also condensed into a nine-petaled Lotus. The evil blood Qi contained in the altar was more than ten times more than the evil blood Qi obtained after the first level of the altar was destroyed, and it was purer.
It was already close to the power of two demons of the third stage. Otherwise, the gourd wouldn’t have been able to reach this level in one go.
It was a pleasant surprise. Su qingluan shared the news with Chen jingzhai.
