Chapter 984 Using Inner Core to Make Prayer Beads, Preparing a Surprise for Shi Xiang Sheng!

Mo Yuan spoke eloquently, explaining a great deal about rosary beads, even detailing how they were made, the incantations he knew, and how to inscribe them to Chen Yang.

These are all areas of knowledge that Chen Yang has never encountered before.

As Chen Yang listened, he simultaneously constructed a mental image of what was being described.

It is indeed exquisite.

But here's the problem: how do we get the materials?
Chen Yang said, "Making prayer beads requires relics, but I don't have any of those on me."

"It's not necessary to use relics."

Mo Yuan waved his paw. "The prayer beads you used earlier weren't made of relics. Relics have special significance in Buddhism and couldn't possibly be used to make this kind of thing. It's just that relics are more suitable for making prayer beads than other materials..."

“Some top-grade jade stones with energy storage functions, as well as tree seeds left behind by powerful spiritual trees, tree cores left behind after their extinction, etc., can all be used to make prayer beads.”

Mo Yuan spoke with spittle flying everywhere.

Chen Yang does have some jade, but he probably doesn't have any top-quality pieces.

He took out several relatively high-quality jade stones and showed them to Mo Yuan.

But after reading them, Mo Yuan shook his head.

The quality is indeed not top-notch. It's fine for engraving jade slips, but it can't store much energy at all when used to make prayer beads. With less energy, the explosive power will naturally be smaller.

As for tree species, Chen Yang does have a Three Corpse Divine Tree species.

This tree species should be considered a spiritual tree species, meeting the requirements for making prayer beads.

However, this tree seed was intended by Chen Yang to be left for the Three Corpse Divine Tree, and he had already made a promise to the Three Corpse Divine Tree a long time ago.

If we use it, we will inevitably lose people's trust.

Moreover, even if a single tree seed is made into prayer beads containing the full force of his primordial spirit's attack, it seems to be of little use.

After all, Chen Yang's primordial spirit cultivation level was only around two hundred grades.

Such a rosary, unless thrown into the stomach of Shi Xiang Sheng and exploded, would probably not be able to harm such a being.

……

Mo Yuan hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help but say, "Years ago, I did manage to obtain a special method for making prayer beads through special channels. However, this method belongs to the path of evil cultivators, and the materials used are also very special. I just don't know if you, Master, dare to use it, or are willing to use it?"

Evil cultivator?

Chen Yang was slightly taken aback. "Tell me about it."

This rat is inherently strange; if someone can call it strange, then the method must be quite wild.

However, listening to it is not illegal.

Mo Yuan said, "This method uses the inner core of a spirit beast. Special incantations are directly inscribed into the inner core, which can also be detonated by touching it with one's primordial spirit, similar to a self-destruction. Its power is even greater than that of ordinary prayer beads..."

Inner elixir?

Chen Yang's eyes narrowed slightly, clearly somewhat surprised.

Mo Yuan said, "As we all know, the energy within a spirit beast's inner core is the culmination of its life's cultivation and is exceptionally violent. Anyone who wants to use it must expend a great deal of effort to refine it. But the method I'm about to describe can directly ignite this energy, instantly releasing terrifying explosive power..."

"There was once someone who specifically hunted high-level spirit beasts to extract their cores and refine these prayer beads, which led to the banning of this secret technique, classifying it as an evil art, and thus it was lost. I obtained the true teachings of this secret technique by sheer chance..."

"I once crafted these prayer beads myself. They were a great help to me when I was besieged by those masters from Emei..."

"However, the process of making these prayer beads is extremely dangerous, especially when inscribing the incantations. If you're not careful, even the slightest mistake could cause an explosion. So, even I didn't dare to make them casually back then..."

At this point, Mo Yuan looked at Chen Yang, "Master, this secret technique..."

Chen Yang raised an eyebrow. "Tell me about it."

Upon hearing this, Mo Yuan immediately began to teach Chen Yang the production method and the detailed incantation.

……

A dozen minutes later, Chen Yang closed his eyes and processed the knowledge he had acquired.

Chen Yang's ability to multitask demonstrates his impressive comprehension skills.

He opened his eyes, his gaze introspective, as if he already had a plan in mind.

Mo Yuan said, "To harm a Dao True Realm expert, we'd probably need to use their inner core. Dao True Realm inner cores are incredibly valuable, and crafting prayer beads from them is extremely dangerous. Master, please reconsider..."

Chen Yang didn't care much about whether it was an evil technique or not. Even if it was an evil technique, it depended on who used it. Evil techniques could lead people to evil, but as long as one could control their desires, even the most evil technique could become righteous.

Chen Yang roughly simulated the process of making these prayer beads in his mind, and he really wanted to try it out.

This secret method does not require the infusion of spiritual energy; it only requires the primordial spirit to inscribe incantations in the inner elixir, and it does not consume much of the body's energy.

This is considered an advantage over other methods of making prayer beads.

However, it is indeed necessary to be careful when making it.

Chen Yang was used to being cautious, so naturally he would not directly take the inner core of a Dao True Realm cultivator.

If he's not careful, it could explode, which would be an unbearable burden for him.

He has many inner alchemy cores stored in his system's inventory.

Chen Yang rummaged around and found a few fake pills that had been gathering dust in a corner.

The so-called false elixir is a spiritual realm existence, formed by the internal convergence of essence, energy, and spirit before death. It is an inner elixir, but it is not an inner elixir.

Because it was produced in the Spirit Realm, even if it accidentally exploded, it wouldn't be very powerful enough to harm Chen Yang.

However, Chen Yang remained cautious. He summoned a Spirit Realm Bone-Eating Beetle, had it carry a fake pill, and flew more than fifty meters away.

The Bone-Eating Beetle left a spiritual imprint on the Mountain Lord Seal. Through this imprint, Chen Yang's primordial spirit can be transmitted over long distances, allowing him to perform some of the tasks that a primordial spirit or spiritual power can do from the Bone-Eating Beetle's perspective.

Immediately, Chen Yang switched to the perspective of the bone-eating beetle through the spiritual imprint in the Mountain Lord Seal. His primordial spirit energy emanated from the bone-eating beetle and quickly permeated the interior of the fake pill.

Using the energy of the primordial spirit as a carving knife, incantations are written on the inner wall of the fake pill.

The incantation is similar to Dao patterns, possessing a certain innate power of law. The incantation passed down by Mo Yuan can precisely detonate the energy within the inner core, tantamount to self-destruction.

Inscribing the incantation is easy, but it's difficult to do it without making mistakes. Even the slightest mistake can cause the energy in the inner core to go berserk and explode.

This process is very meticulous.

Chen Yang held his breath and focused intently. He had already memorized the incantation passed down by Mo Yuan, and all he needed to do was to copy it completely.

"boom!"

Suddenly, a stroke went slightly astray, and Chen Yang's heart tightened. The incantation trembled violently, causing the energy within the fake pill to resonate. Before he could react, the energy burned and suddenly expanded.

With a loud bang, it exploded.

He didn't even have time to control the bone-eating beetle to escape.

The ground was blasted into a crater about one meter in diameter, and dirt flew everywhere.

The bone-eating beetle was also blasted dozens of meters away.

Fortunately, its shell was hard enough, and the remaining energy of the fake core was not much, so the power was not too great. The bone-eating beetle was only injured by the shock, but its life was not in danger.

Indeed, it's too dangerous.

Chen Yang still felt a little scared, as if he had just conjured up an atomic bomb.

He then took another fake pill and continued to control the bone-eating beetle.

"Better to die than to die myself." He had been feeding and caring for these insects so well that they would sacrifice themselves for him in a critical moment.

Mo Yuan then explained some key points to Chen Yang from the side.

Nothing can be accomplished overnight. One failure is nothing to worry about. As long as you try hard and keep trying, you will eventually succeed.

Unless the incantation Mo Yuan gave him was wrong.

But Mo Yuan would never joke about such a thing; it wouldn't do him any good and would only easily provoke Chen Yang's anger.

Unfortunately, Mo Yuan's primordial spirit was scattered, his cultivation level dropped, and he had no primordial spirit to use. Otherwise, he could have just let it take its course.

Now, Chen Yang can only figure it out on his own.

Then came the second fake pill, which exploded after being carved to one-third of its original size.

The third one exploded when it was only half-finished!

The fourth one was finally completely carved, but there was very little energy left in the fake pill. Chen Yang tried it and it could indeed be detonated, but there was a certain delay and the explosive power was too weak.

Then came the fifth one, the sixth one...

After becoming familiar with the incantation, the incantation became smoother and smoother, and Chen Yang's progress was visible to the naked eye.

From the eighth fake pill onwards, until the fifteenth, none of them exploded.

Having achieved his training objective, Chen Yang took three inner cores from the Creation Realm and continued practicing.

The inner core within the Creation Realm is a true inner core; its explosive power is considerable.

He made the bone-eating beetle carry the inner core and fly even further.

He operated remotely from outside the danger zone. Having practiced before, Chen Yang concentrated intently, and his incantation, while not flowing smoothly, was certainly skillful with practice.

The incantations for the elixir within the realm of creation are more numerous and more complicated to inscribe.

But Chen Yang already had experience, so it was much easier for him to get started. The most important thing was to be careful and cautious. As long as you did that, it wasn't difficult to make.

The first one was quickly engraved.

He gave it a try.

It can also be detonated smoothly, perhaps because the energy in the inner core is more abundant and of a higher level, and the explosion is almost without delay.

With a loud bang, a crater five meters wide was blasted into the ground, the power of which was incomparable to the previous explosion of the fake pill.

This is an inner core at the mid-stage of the Creation Realm, almost equivalent to the self-destruction of a spirit beast at the mid-stage of the Creation Realm.

With such power, even if it could not injure a Dao True Realm expert, if someone were at the center of the explosion, at least a late-stage Creation Realm expert would be seriously injured or even lose their life.

Chen Yang finished inscribing the remaining two Creation Realm Pills, and they didn't explode again. He also didn't try to detonate them again.

It turned out that the incantation was correct, and there was no need to try it again.

Having already mastered the technique, Chen Yang put away the two Creation Realm prayer beads and immediately began making Dao True Realm prayer beads.

The inner core of the Dao True Realm is extremely precious and rare; using it to make prayer beads would be a waste.

Although the idea came from Mo Yuan, he still felt a pang of heartache when he saw Chen Yang take out the Dao Zhen Realm Pill.

If this inner core were given to it, it would definitely help its cultivation level increase significantly in a short period of time.

Now, Chen Yang is using it to make prayer beads, just to hear the sound.

The inscription of the Dao Zhen realm elixir is more complex than that of the Creation realm elixir. Moreover, carving it inside the inner elixir, where the concentration of true essence is extremely high, presents greater resistance and makes the carving more difficult.

Chen Yang poured his whole being into it, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

Aside from the Dragon Essence, Dao Zhen only had nine inner cores left, and the one he chose at this moment was the White Crocodile King's inner core.

The White Crocodile King's cultivation level was only at the early stage of the Dao True Realm, so even if it exploded, the power would be relatively small.

But it is still a Dao True Realm cultivator. The power of a Dao True Realm cultivator's self-destruction is absolutely earth-shattering. Although they are not afraid of being injured by the explosion, the losses will be considerable.

Time passed by minute by minute.

With the last stroke completed, Chen Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The moment the incantation was completed, the energy within the inner core trembled slightly, but quickly subsided.

The bone-eating beetle returned the inner core.

A Dao True Realm rosary has been successfully made, the incantation is complete, and the energy within is stable. He only needs to use his primordial spirit to trigger the incantation and cause it to explode.

Once this inner core explodes, its power will be comparable to the self-destruction of a spirit beast in the early stage of the Dao True Realm.

It was more violent and more lethal than the rosary he had used before.

This time, Chen Yang did not try.

The incantation has already proven effective, so there's no need to waste it now.

After all, this is the inner core of a Dao True Realm cultivator.

Not every Dao Realm spirit beast can be hunted and its inner core obtained. Some spirit beasts will automatically discard their Dao Embryo upon death, preferring to lose it rather than let others benefit from it.

Only a few can have their inner core extracted.

To deal with someone like Shi Xiangsheng, a single Dao True Realm early stage inner core prayer bead probably wouldn't be enough.

If he had any protective treasures on him, they would probably be able to help him withstand the damage.

If you're going to do it, do it thoroughly; if you're going to play, play big.

Chen Yang took out a spirit beast inner core at the late stage of the Dao True Realm and handed it to the Bone-Eating Beetle, which quickly carried the inner core away.

Keep making it.

In about half an hour, under Chen Yang's extremely careful carving, a Dao True Realm late-stage inner core prayer bead was completed.

Chen Yang looked at the inner core in his hand and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Exchanging an inner core for a cultivator about to enter the late stage of the Dao True Realm should be a huge profit, right?

Even if I can't kill him, I can seriously injure him. With my current combat strength, it shouldn't be impossible for me to deal with him.

The Hundred Elephant Pill wasn't taken for nothing.

The effects of Bai Xiang Dan can last for several days. Before the effects wear off, one must find someone to fight with to make its consumption worthwhile.

After storing the inner core in the system warehouse, Chen Yang took two drops of sangmu juice and drank it to restore his primordial spirit.

"Boom..."

A muffled clap of thunder suddenly echoed in the sky.

Chen Yang opened his eyes and looked up, only to find the sky had darkened.

A cold wind suddenly rose, and soon a light rain began to fall.

Chen Yang raised an eyebrow slightly. Within this cave dwelling, there was also wind, thunder, rain, snow, and the changing of the four seasons.

This is the first time it has rained in the past few days.

Chen Yang felt a sense of novelty; this Nine Elders Cave Secret Realm was clearly an independent little world.

Are people in the Celestial Realm really that powerful? They can actually construct such a place!
"Master, it's raining," Mo Yuan said, uttering a pointless remark from the side.

It not only rained, but it rained heavily.

"Let's get on with it."

Chen Yang stood up.

Mo Yuan was somewhat surprised; he had thought Chen Yang would first find a place to take shelter from the rain.

"Thunderstorms are the perfect time to get to work."

Raindrops pelted his face, quickly soaking his clothes, but Chen Yang's face still wore a smile.

On rainy days, both humans and animals reduce their outdoor activities. Therefore, in the genes of living organisms, rainy days provide an instinctive sense of security, and they become less vigilant about danger.

This is especially true during thunderstorms.

……

The rain gradually intensified, and along the way, there were very few signs of animal activity. Perhaps due to the influence of the fire jade mine, the vegetation was becoming increasingly sparse, and the land was turning up into fiery red mud under the impact of the rain.

The closer they got to Crimson Flame Mountain, the more vibrant the red of the soil became, and Chen Yang could clearly sense the presence of fire-attribute energy in the air.

Although the presence of rain suppressed the fire-attribute energy traveling through the mountains and forests, it was still noticeable and intense.

Dark clouds gathered overhead, and the sky gradually darkened.

It was unclear how long the rain would last, so before nightfall, Chen Yang found a cave about ten miles away from Crimson Flame Mountain to take temporary shelter.

The outline of Crimson Flame Mountain was already visible from here. The situation was unclear, so Chen Yang dared not approach rashly, nor did he intend to.

A wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall; such a risky task should naturally be left to someone else.

He released the yellow-throated marten again, reinforced the hypnotic effect of the Double Pupil Technique, and put the late-stage Dao True Realm pill, along with a bone-eating beetle, into a cloth bag and tied it around the marten's neck.

All is ready except for the opportunity.

“That Vajra Bamboo is also a problem. It’s a late-stage Dao True Realm cultivator. If we investigate it carefully, it shouldn’t be hard to tell that it’s been hypnotized. If the Vajra Bamboo sees through our deception, we might fail at the last minute. So, it would be best to find a way to lure the Vajra Bamboo away…” Chen Yang said.

Mo Yuan chuckled dryly, "If I were still at my peak, it would be simple, but now, facing a spiritual plant at the late stage of the Dao True Realm is quite difficult..."

The difficulty is beyond great; Mo Yuan is hesitant to do this. If he sends it to lure away the Vajra Bamboo, and it gets caught by the Vajra Bamboo, he'll be in deep trouble.

"If you were still at your peak, I wouldn't need to consider these things; I would just lead you straight in."

Chen Yang shook his head. He thought about it for a moment and realized that although Mo Yuan could now simulate the aura of a peak cultivator with the Bracelet of No Form, he was just a paper tiger.

The yellow-throated marten might be wary of it, but this Vajra Bamboo might not be. If a real fight broke out, Mo Yuan would definitely not be able to withstand it.

Although Mo Yuan can burrow underground, the Vajra Bamboo is a spiritual plant, and its ability to burrow underground is probably even stronger.

As for flying, Mo Yuan's current cultivation level is barely enough to control a sword, so it's not safe enough to guarantee his safety. Chen Yang also doesn't dare to give the Thunderfire Eagle to it.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Yang released the water monkey from the Azure Pearl.

"Ho!"

Once the water monkey was freed, it saw the human and the rat in front of it and, as if startled, immediately took several steps back to distance itself from them.

His gaze immediately fell on the cave entrance, and he instinctively wanted to run away.

"You try running it."

Chen Yang's icy voice suddenly rang out, mixed with the thunder outside the cave, making the water monkey tremble!
