Beast Taming, my intelligence updates daily.

Tianquan City has become a ruin, and one after another, the Thousand-Eyed Ghost Kings dressed in black robes are inscribing magic circles to summon the Thousand-Eyed Ghost God.

The summoning array was as big as a football field, and setting up the entire array almost exhausted the entire resources of the Thousand-Eyed Ghost Clan.

These Thousand-Eyed Demon Kings were all created by the Great Consciousness of Blue Star, using the souls of the Thousand-Eyed Demon Kings.

Under the alteration of Blue Star's consciousness, the Thousand-Eyed Demon Emperor was unaware that he had already died.

In their eyes, Tianquan City was still bustling with people and appeared peaceful.

This is also the site they chose for their sacrifices. They will offer the lives of all the humans in Tianquan City as sacrifices to summon the great god to descend here.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the magic array is ready. Please give your instructions."

The two Thousand-Eyed Demon Kings spoke to the Thousand-Eyed Demon Emperor with unusual respect.

In this bizarre world, the hierarchy is extremely rigid.

Subordinates must never disobey the orders of their superiors.

The Myriad-Eyed Ghost King is a seventh-tier monster, while the Myriad-Eyed Ghost Emperor is an eighth-tier monster; a higher rank can have a devastating impact.

"When the blood moon rises in the sky, it will be time for us to summon the Thousand-Eyed Demon God. This time, we have found a body that can withstand the Thousand-Eyed Demon God's descent. The Thousand-Eyed Demon God will certainly not treat us unfairly at that time."

The Myriad-Eyed Demon King looked at the Phantom Wolf King, which was bound by countless chains and baring its teeth. In reality, this was also a manifestation of the Great Consciousness of Blue Star.

The real Phantom Wolf King had long been devoured by Hastur, leaving not even a bone fragment behind.

In short, everything in Tianquan City is fake: the people are fake, the Phantom Wolf King is fake, and even they are fake.

For them, it's all about fooling the Thousand-Eyed Demon God. As long as they can bring the Thousand-Eyed Demon God in and deal with it, they can deal with the other demon gods.

If we could devour the barbarian directly, that would be even better, since a barbarian god is equivalent to a god of medium divine power.

The brute force that separated from it can provide a lot of help to Big Grey.

Big Grey was ultimately cursed by Death, so his life force was naturally greatly depleted.

So now, the only thing Ye Bai can do to help Big Grey is to help Big Grey improve its strength as much as possible and make more progress.

"It is our honor that our souls will be offered as sacrifices to the Thousand-Eyed Demon God." The hundreds of eyes of the Thousand-Eyed Demon Emperor shone with fanaticism.

This wasn't an act; it came from the heart.

They are bizarre beings created based on the prototype of the Thousand-Eyed Demon God, and they will faithfully carry out the Demon God's orders.

Little did they know that their every move was under Ye Bai's surveillance; he was the true director and chief editor of this drama.

"Wolf King of the Netherworld, this is your chance."

"As long as you can devour the essence of a strange god, breaking through to the ninth rank shouldn't be a problem for you."

Ye Bai was also considering his pet beasts. In his eyes, these strange gods were like meat on a chopping board, at his mercy.

Only when the Myriad Transformations Sacred Butterfly breaks through to the ninth rank can the remaining pet beasts also break through to the ninth rank. He is secretly scavenging resources for his pet beasts.

Sunflower Fairy Ye Bai has nothing to worry about. She was able to snipe the Ghost God, which is such a great achievement. The Blue Star Consciousness should reward her. Otherwise, who would be willing to risk their life for the Blue Star Consciousness!

"The Sunflower Fairy is quite lucky."

"After we ambush the Ghost God, we will be able to advance to an even more powerful existence based on the merit of the ambush."

At this moment, the Sunflower Fairy took out the Black Dragon Knife and the Poison Dragon Blade.

She brandished two knives at Ye Bai.

Faint dragon roars could be heard emanating from the blade.

These two weapons have been well cared for by the Sunflower Fairy; they are her personal kitchen knives. However, the Sunflower Fairy recently felt that these two kitchen knives were not very sharp, so she wanted to sharpen them and preferably modify one of them.

After all, it was already an eighth-tier pet beast, while these two kitchen knives were only around fourth-tier, which was seriously inconsistent with the strength of the Sunflower Fairy.

It was worried that if it used even a little more force, the two kitchen knives might break in two.

Ye Bai immediately understood Sunflower Fairy's idea.

"Sunflower Fairy, you want to upgrade these two knives, right?"

Ye Bai really wasn't good at upgrading soul weapons.

However, he still had backup, namely the wine craftsman immortal.

As the saying goes, there are specializations in the art industry.

The wine connoisseur was an expert among experts, and coincidentally, he owed Ye Bai a favor that was neither too big nor too small.

So Ye Bai took out his phone and sent a message.

[Ye Bai: Wine Craftsman Immortal, do you have some free time lately? I'd like to ask you some questions in person about soul weapons.]

[The Wine Craftsman Immortal: I'm free, absolutely free! Master Ye, how could I say I'm not free when you ask me!]

[The Wine Craftsman Immortal: Come to this spot. I'm currently collecting a very expensive material and have been staking out the Bamboo Forest for a while now. This material is fleeting, so I can't leave here for the time being.]

The winemaker sent an address directly.

Ye Bai looked and realized that this was a place in Tianshan Province.

Tianshan Province is a basin-like landform, rich in bamboo, and Wanzhulin (Ten Thousand Bamboo Forest) is a famous scenic spot in the area.

However, the depths of Wanzhulin have been designated as a nature reserve, and access is generally prohibited for people.

The choice of where the winemaker immortal chose to reside was also based on certain social contexts.

Ye Bai: Okay, Wine Craftsman Immortal, we'll be right there.

"Tuntianpeng, let's go."

Ye Bai summoned the Devouring Roc and used a spatial teleportation to arrive deep within the Bamboo Forest.

Here, the winemaker immortal built a thatched hut and is brewing tea with the wine god panda.

Upon seeing Ye Bai arrive, he grinned.

"Haha, Master Ye, you came quite quickly. I had just finished brewing the tea when you arrived."

"Have a cup of bamboo core tea to cool down."

"The weather in this bamboo forest is quite refreshing, but I've built an iron smelting furnace here, so the temperature is a bit higher than outside."

The winemaker handed a bamboo section to Ye Bai. Wisps of white steam rose from the bamboo cup, and a refreshing aroma spread everywhere.

"Master Ye, I must thank you for helping the God of Wine Panda extend his lifespan. Now I can fight alongside my partner again."

"This bamboo core tea is brewed from the heart of a bamboo that is ten thousand years old. It also has the effect of warming and nourishing the spirit. In the future, when you go to a hot place, you will not be afraid of the scorching heat."

After finishing a cup of bamboo core tea, Ye Bai immediately felt a cool sensation that chased away the summer heat.

At this point, Ye Bai revealed his purpose for coming.

In the eyes of the Wine Craftsman Immortal, this was a trivial matter.

“Master Ye, I am waiting for the birth of the ten-thousand-year-old purple bamboo in this bamboo forest. It is a very good raw material for refining the staff-shaped soul weapon.”

"I finally found a seedling of the 'Ten Thousand Year Purple Bamboo' here, and it will be born in a while."

"Now that you're here, I'll have my old friend, Dionysus Panda, keep an eye on things for a while."

"I'm here to help upgrade the Soul Weapon. Take it out and let me see it."

Sunflower Fairy took out the Black Dragon Blade and the Poison Dragon Blade and placed them in front of Winemaker Fairy.

"This material doesn't look very good. It was made from the teeth of a black dragon and a poisonous dragon, and their souls were refined to serve as the spirit of the artifact."

"The refining skills are there, but they are too crude, and the potential is very low."

"There's no limit to how much this thing can grow; it's basically stuck like this for life. What else do you want to refine it into?"

"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. How about this, you learn forging from me and then personally modify the Black Dragon Blade and the Poison Dragon Blade."

The winemaker fairy suddenly made a suggestion, which piqued the interest of the sunflower fairy.

Is it really possible?
The Sunflower Fairy watched the Winemaker Fairy with great interest; it had inexhaustible energy.

The power of plants is far greater than that of ordinary pets.

A single bamboo pole can overturn a rock that weighs more than ten kilograms more than itself.

"Yes, but first you have to be able to hold the hammer. My smallest hammer weighs over a thousand kilograms, so that it can fully fuse the material."

"At the same time, you also need to have a sufficient source of fire."

Ye Bai summoned the Netherworld Hell Wolf King.

The creature suddenly opened its mouth, and black flames surged out.

"The source of fire is not a problem; the flames of the Netherworld Wolf King are enough to melt any ore."

"Sunflower Fairy, summon your sunflower clone. This time, the clone you summon will be stronger."

Ye Bai gave instructions to the Sunflower Fairy.

Sunflower Fairy nodded, and several small mounds of earth suddenly appeared on the ground. Sunflower Fairy's clones appeared, each as tall as a person.

With their vines intertwined, they raised a massive iron hammer, which slammed heavily onto a tough rock, shattering it into several pieces instantly.

The key point is that the Sunflower Fairy lifted the hammer very steadily, just like a skilled hand.

The thousand-kilogram hammer was handled with ease by the Sunflower Fairy, which undoubtedly showed the Wine Craftsman Fairy that she was qualified to become a craftsman.

"Good, you do have the qualities to become a craftsman. I knew I was right."

"Now, I will personally teach you how to forge soul weapons."

"The origins of Horcruxes are ancient and varied, including naturally occurring innate Horcruxes and those created by humans."

"My lineage is the one that observes innate soul weapons and ultimately creates acquired soul weapons."

“By my generation, there are very few people left to carry on the tradition; it’s almost extinct.”

"Alright, enough of this sentimental talk, let's get started."

"First, there's the selection of materials. Your Black Dragon Blade and Poison Dragon Blade are made from black snakes and poisonous dragons."

"If you use their bodies, such as dragon bones, to forge the blades, the effect will be even better."

"The keel can shape the blade!"

After hearing what the Wine Craftsman Fairy said, the Sunflower Fairy looked at the Devouring Roc.

The intense gaze made the Devouring Roc involuntarily take several steps back.

That look is terrifying!
"Swallowing Roc, the Sunflower Fairy means for you to release the corpses of the Black Snake and the Poisonous Dragon."

The corpses of black snakes and venomous dragons, as large as small mountains, were released and piled up on the ground.

"These black snakes and poisonous dragons are only around the sixth rank, so even if they are forged into new soul weapons, they will only be around the sixth rank."

"If you wish, I have even better materials here."

Ye Bai waved his hand.

He didn't want to owe the Wine Craftsman Immortal any more favors. "Alright then, Wine Craftsman Immortal, let's use the Black Serpent and the Poisonous Dragon to make the Soul Weapon."

With a month to go before the Blood Moon, Ye Bai can take his time to plan and let the Sunflower Fairy create her soul artifacts to her heart's content.

At the same time, Ye Bai was also quite curious about how soul weapons were made and what great secrets they contained.

"Then we need to cut the corpses of the black snake and the poisonous dragon into pieces first."

The Sunflower Fairy smiled slightly, and a flash of cold light appeared, instantly cutting the black snake and the poisonous dragon into countless pieces.

Numerous sunflowers sprouted up.

Watching the sunflowers sprout up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

The winemaker immortal couldn't help but pluck out one of his own beard hairs.

The sunflowers were practically free, and their delicate fragrance filled the air.

This flavor made the winemaker feel much more relaxed and happy.

To create a Horcrux, one must first have a calm mind. Only when the mind is calm can one fully immerse oneself in the creation process.

"This tastes really good."

The winemaker immortal said with utmost solemnity.

"Moreover, the remains of the black snake and the poisonous dragon were so well preserved, with blood that had not yet congealed, as if they had just died."

"In that case, with this blood, the quality of the soul weapon should be able to be improved even further."

“Your soul weapon is a fourth-tier weapon. I originally thought it would be good if it could be upgraded to the fifth tier at most, but with these well-preserved corpses, I think it wouldn’t be unreasonable to break through to the sixth tier.”

The winemaker fairy directed the sunflowers to sort and store the blood of the black snake and the poisonous dragon.

With the sunflower's clones, even large amounts of blood can be precisely stored, because the sunflower's clones also contain storage space.

Then we will be able to weigh accurately.

"This time, when we upgrade the Soul Weapon, we will use blood, bones, and their corresponding crystal cores."

"The black snake and the venomous dragon are quite similar species, so in order to prevent self-devouring during the forging process, it is better to forge them separately."

"By the way, Myriad Transformations Sacred Butterfly, don't try to create any formations here, or I'll just slap you to death."

Ye Bai took out a frying pan and gestured it in front of the Myriad Transformations Holy Butterfly.

The Myriad Transformations Butterfly lowered its head, looking sullen.

However, when Ye Bai saw that the Myriad Transformations Sacred Butterfly's mouth seemed to be constantly chewing, he immediately had a bad feeling.

"Myriad Transformations Sacred Butterfly, what are you eating? Spit it out right now!"

At this moment, the winemaker immortal discovered that a young bamboo shoot from the Sky Bamboo had disappeared.

This thing is quite valuable; it contains a large space that can be used to create spatial treasures.

The ever-changing butterfly frantically flew away, trying to avoid the frying pan's fatal blow.

However, just as it flew into the air, it was hit by a frying pan with a loud "Duang".

Its body fell from the sky like a kite crashing to the ground, convulsing all over. Looking at Ye Bai's resolute expression, a trace of fear appeared on its face.

"Myriad Transformations Holy Butterfly, what have I told you? Don't eat random things, don't cause trouble, why don't you listen?"

Ye Bai walked step by step toward the Myriad Transformations Sacred Butterfly, whose face showed a look of terror.

Its large compound eyes stared at the falling frying pan, a hint of fear in them.

"Hmph, eat my big cunt."

Ye Bai slapped the Myriad Transformations Sacred Butterfly so hard that it transformed into a shooting star and fell from the sky.

"This guy really can't go a day without a beating," Ye Bai sighed.

"Alright, all irrelevant personnel have been cleared out."

"Master Winemaker, please continue."

"Let's continue with the lesson."

Ye Bai spoke respectfully to the old man.

"it is good."

"Let me tell you how to forge the Black Dragon Blade."

"The materials used to forge this Black Dragon Blade are of very poor quality."

"If the black snake could evolve into a black dragon, then it would barely be acceptable."

"So the first thing we need to do is refine the materials of the Black Dragon Blade."

"That is, to remove its impurities."

"There are several advantages to doing this. After changing the material, the spirit's soul power can be enhanced, which will greatly increase the power of the soul weapon."

"The second is to increase the upper limit of Soul Weapons."

"I'll provide the materials first. If you have any other rare materials later, you can send them to me gradually."

The wine craftsman thought that Ye Bai might not have the ore specifically for forging, so he gave him a special suggestion.

Based on the characteristics of the Black Dragon Blade, the old man specially found a piece of black ore.

The ore was only the size of a palm and exuded a cold aura.

"This is a Yin Soul Stone, a stone that is usually found in ancient tombs that are over a thousand years old."

"This kind of stone can enhance the spiritual power of the artifact spirit."

"With just this much ore, the Black Dragon Blade can be upgraded."

"The Yin Soul Stone should be added to the Soul Weapon at the very end, especially after the Black Dragon Blade is forged, when the weapon spirit merges with the blade."

The old man spoke to Ye Bai with utmost patience.

"The Black Dragon Blade has already taken shape, so we need to reforge it first. This process requires separating the weapon spirit from the soul weapon."

“I remember you seem to have mastered this separation technology, so why don’t you show us how it works?”

"If we take direct action, we are very likely to damage the spirit of the Black Dragon Blade. Once the spirit is damaged, it will not be easy to restore it."

The old man was very polite.

"No problem, Mr. Jiu. Since you've said so, then I'll do it this way."

After Ye Bai formed a contract with Hastur, he also gained this ability, which allows ordinary pets to have their souls leave their bodies.

He placed his hand on the Black Dragon Blade, his hand emitting a ghostly blue light, like a giant Na'vi from Avatar.

The Black Dragon Blade trembled incessantly, seemingly terrified of this power.

The black snake's spirit appeared, constantly flicking its menacing tongue in an attempt to evade the soul's pull, but it ultimately failed.

However, not long after, a wisp of soul power was extracted from the Black Dragon Blade and landed in Ye Bai's hand.

Ye Bai extracted his soul and placed it in the Soul Gem.

A black snake could be faintly seen slithering within the Soul Gem.

Its body was very long, and its sharp fangs emitted a long cry.

After its spirit was extracted, the Black Dragon Blade lost its vitality, and its blade became dull and lifeless, like rotten wood that had decayed over thousands of years.

A few cracks appeared on the blade, as if the entire Black Dragon Blade would shatter completely in the next second.

This is not what Ye Bai wanted to see.

"Haha, this is how it works when you extract the spirit from a weapon. The blade will lose its spirituality, which will allow us to better reshape its physical form."

"Don't be nervous, let's move on to the next step."

"Alright, come with me. The flames of the Netherworld Hell Wolf King are too fierce; one bite will burn the Black Dragon Blade to ashes."

“I have a special furnace here.”

The winemaker immortal led Ye Bai across the winding stream to a huge iron furnace.

The iron furnace occupies an area of ​​more than ten acres and looks quite large.

Even before you get close, you can feel a wave of heat rushing towards you.

Many Dionysus Pandas are busy at work. These small pandas, only half a meter tall, seem to be descendants of the Dionysus Panda belonging to the Dionysus Immortal.

"This iron furnace contains the core fire of the Wanzhulin Volcano, but I have suppressed this core fire with a treasure."

"Therefore, the flames of this subterranean fire are much gentler compared to other flames."

The Black Dragon Blade was scorched by the fire from the earth's core, slowly melting into molten iron, which then floated in mid-air.

The fire from the earth's core relentlessly scorched the molten iron, causing it to boil and emit large amounts of black smoke.

The soul imprisoned within the Soul Stone let out a heavy wail, as if its soul were being consumed by flames.

The winemaker immortal threw the black snake's bones, one by one, into the iron furnace.

The furnace fire roared, and the snake bones were quickly burned away of impurities, becoming crystal clear as they slowly melted into the molten iron.

"Snake bones, also called dragon bones, are the most important part of a snake's body and the skeleton of a soul weapon."

"Whether the Black Dragon Blade can be successfully forged depends on whether the framework can be built properly. If it cannot be built properly, filling it with more materials will be in vain."

"Therefore, it is best to select the raw materials from the very beginning when forging a soul weapon. The selection should be based on the attributes of the soul weapon and the attributes of the weapon spirit. Only in this way can the best soul weapon be forged."

"Otherwise, it will be like a castle in the air without a foundation, which could collapse at any time."

The winemaker gave Ye Bai earnest advice.

The sunflower fairy nodded. This is important; it's a key point to remember.

"The black snake's pupils are like gemstones; they must be immersed in molten iron, otherwise the black dragon will become divine yet formless, and the aim will lose its direction."

The Immortal Winemaker continued to teach, and everyone found it quite practical. These were unique secrets that couldn't be learned outside, and they never expected that the Immortal Winemaker would share all his knowledge here.

The basketball-sized eyeball fell into the molten iron, and the fire from the earth's core burned the eyeball red again. The eyeball burned smaller and smaller until it finally became an ornament.

"Alright, Master Ye, look at this molten iron, isn't it full of spirit, with its iridescent light?"

"The molten iron is almost ready when it's smelted to this state; it's ready for forging."

"The forging process can remove impurities contained in the molten iron. We need to be very careful when forging."

The molten iron fell into the flowing stream with a hissing sound, and a large amount of white steam instantly rose up.

A black iron ingot was formed instantly.

"This is the first quenching. To bring about a qualitative change in the Black Dragon Blade, it must be quenched nine hundred and ninety-nine times."

"This period of time must be continuous!" (End of Chapter)
