The most secure job in Dajin

Chapter 335, Luminous Cup, Broken Knife, Embroidery Needle

"Give."

In order to obtain the method of 'converting the Seven-Colored Strange Flame into the Great Sun Divine Flame' as soon as possible, and not wanting Hua Changxi to run out of Taiyin Stones and delay, Elder Yiming handed Hua Changxi three blank Taiyin Stones with a pained expression.

Seeing his appearance, Hua Changxi shook her head inwardly.

The Minister of the Heavenly Department is much more generous; the Grand Elder of the Artifact Saint Palace is incredibly stingy!

Hua Changxi took the Taiyin Stone, put away two pieces, and then took the last piece and stuck it to her forehead. In less than a quarter of an hour, she took off the engraved Taiyin Stone and handed it to Elder Yiming.

"you"

Before Elder Yiming could say anything, Hua Changxi interjected, "Consider the other two Taiyin Stones as engraving fees." After saying that, she looked at Tong Yao and said, "Let's go to the storeroom to choose some magical artifacts."

Tong Yao glanced at Elder Yi Ming, who was choking, and asked with a smile, "Does Elder Yi Ming have any other instructions?"

Elder Yiming waved his hand, looking like he didn't want to pay any more attention to the two of them: "You should leave now."

Tong Yao smiled and agreed, then left the council hall with Hua Changxi.

As soon as the two left, Elder Yiming couldn't wait to stick the Taiyin Stone to his forehead. After he used his divine sense to read the method of 'converting the Seven-Colored Strange Fire into the Great Sun Divine Flame', a look of sudden realization and amazement appeared on his face.

The method of 'converting the seven-colored strange fire into the Great Sun Divine Flame' is not necessarily ingenious, but it mainly provides guidance and breakthroughs at the key points of fusion and conversion, like clearing away the clouds to reveal the sun.

Without guidance and instruction, even someone like him who has been playing with fire for hundreds of years would not be able to fully grasp the mysteries of these things if he relied solely on his own research.

Elder Yiming looked at the Taiyin Stone in his hand and knew that what he was doing was a bit like 'profiting from someone's misfortune,' but for the sake of the development of the Artifact Saint Palace, he had no choice but to play the villain.

The quality of magical artifacts crafted by cultivators depends not only on the cultivator's realm and skill level, as well as the materials used in the crafting process, but also on the type of flame used in the process.

The higher the quality of the flame used in crafting, the higher the grade of the resulting magical artifact.

The seven-colored strange fire in the hot spring can be subdued by cultivators at the Core Formation stage. If they encounter a good opportunity, even cultivators at the Qi Sea stage might be able to subdue it.

However, the Great Sun Divine Flame is too powerful; only cultivators at the Dao Integration Realm or above can subdue it.

The Realm of Dao Integration.
Not to mention that the current concentration of spiritual energy is not enough to give birth to a Dao Integration Realm cultivator, even if the spiritual energy becomes abundant in the future, advancing to the Dao Integration Realm will not be an easy task.

The safest way to develop and expand the Artifact Saint Palace is to let cultivators of lower realms control the Great Sun Divine Flame.

If one wants to control the Great Sun Divine Flame before reaching the Dao Integration Realm, then one can only learn from Hua Changxi and transform the Seven-Colored Strange Flame into the Great Sun Divine Flame.

The sooner the disciples of the Weapon Saint Palace acquire Divine Flame, the greater the benefits will be to both their strength and their weapon-refining abilities.

Hua Changxi had just taken the initiative to use the hot spring bath, and with such a good opportunity presented to him, how could he waste it?
Elder Yiming felt more and more that he had done the right thing, but soon he began to call for people: "Someone, go and tell the Second Elder, Third Elder, Fourth Elder, and Fifth Elder that I am waiting for them at the hot spring pool. Tell them to put down what they are doing and go there immediately."

He didn't believe that Hua Changxi would be provoked by his few words. That girl might lack experience and be too tactful or patient in strategic exchanges, making her easy to exploit, but she was definitely not stupid.

Her ability to come up with the method of 'converting the seven-colored strange fire into the Great Sun Divine Flame' must be related to the descent of the hot spring pool.

He and several elders had to go and investigate what had happened at the hot spring bath!

On the other side, Tong Yao led Hua Changxi to the fifth-grade warehouse of the Weapon Saint Palace.

"Fifth-grade magic artifacts are specially supplied to cultivators at the Spirit Platform Realm. Disciples of the Artifact Saint Palace are only allowed to come in and select magic artifacts after they have advanced to the Spirit Platform Realm. Thanks to you, I've been able to come in early and broaden my horizons."

Tong Yao led Hua Changxi into the storeroom, asking as they walked, "By the way, is there any progress on your cultivation stagnation issue?"

Hua Changxi shook his head: "Didn't you say that my state of mind is not good enough? I am still exploring how to improve my state of mind. For now, I can only take it one step at a time and feel my way across the river."

Tong Yao: "The improvement of your state of mind will happen naturally, so don't be too anxious."

Hua Changxi's attention had been drawn to the dazzling array of magical artifacts. She nodded perfunctorily in response, and then asked, "Are all the magical artifacts here soul artifacts?"

Tong Yao chuckled: "Of course not. The materials for refining soul weapons are scarce, and most of them need to be collected from the Nine Netherworlds. Moreover, the refining techniques are complex. Therefore, soul weapons only account for one-tenth of the magical artifacts in the warehouse."

Hua Changxi exclaimed in surprise, "Soul Weapons are so rare!"

Tong Yao nodded. Although the Grand Elder had asked for too much before, he was able to let Hua Changxi choose any three magic artifacts from the fifth-grade warehouse. If she had chosen soul artifacts for all three, then the Artifact Saint Palace wouldn't have really taken much advantage of Hua Changxi.

Hua Changxi then asked, "Are there any magical artifacts that are both soul weapons and spirit weapons?"

Tong Yao nodded: "Yes." Seeing Hua Changxi's eyes light up, he quickly said before she could speak, "A magic weapon that combines the functions of a soul weapon and a spirit weapon is at least an eighth-grade Dao weapon."

Upon hearing this, Hua Changxi immediately shut up.

Afterwards, the two walked through the storeroom from beginning to end, examining all the fifth-grade magic artifacts.

"Are all the magical artifacts in the storeroom made by you?"

"The vast majority are, but a few are from ancient times."

The two stood in front of the magic artifact shelf at the far end of the storeroom. The magic artifacts on this shelf were either cracked, missing parts, or dusty and old.

Hua Changxi's gaze fell on a three-inch-tall, mottled bronze cup. The reason she noticed this ancient cup was because the Shennong Cauldron in her sea of ​​consciousness trembled slightly.

"Is this a soul artifact?" Hua Changxi held the bronze cup in his hand, but the Shennong Cauldron in his sea of ​​consciousness did not react.

"Night-glow."

Hua Changxi saw the words 'luminous' on the bronze cup.

Tong Yao was also examining the cup: "This cup should be called a glow-in-the-dark cup, right?"

Hua Changxi examined the bronze cup closely and noticed that its material was somewhat similar to that of the Shennong Cauldron: "Can I use my divine sense to investigate it?"

Tong Yao nodded: "Of course."

Hua Changxi probed the bronze cup with his divine sense and found that the internal space of the bronze cup was very large, which made him very happy.

This luminous cup is perfect for holding the Soul River water from the Shennong Cauldron!

However, besides using it to hold water, she couldn't find any other use for the cup.

"I'll take this cup."

The Grand Elder said that Hua Changxi could choose any three magical artifacts, and Tong Yao naturally wouldn't stop her. He just looked at the luminous cup with curiosity, but he didn't see anything special about it.

Hua Changxi put away the cup and looked at Tong Yao: "Tong Yao, for the other two magical artifacts, I want them to be soul weapons. Ideally, one should be a soul needle or something similar, and the other should be a knife."

In the Twelve Styles of Soul Control, both the Soul-Fixing Needle and the Soul-Slaying Blade require the use of corresponding Soul Weapons to unleash their destructive power.

She's definitely going to go down to the Netherworld again. Not to mention finding the lost Buddhist prayer beads, she also wants to challenge the nine fortresses guarding the Demon Prison.

She hadn't forgotten that she still needed to recruit guardians for the Dan Sheng Temple.

"Tong Yao, we're friends. Last time, Jing Liao, Yan Zhenzhen, and I discovered an opportunity. I was thinking of you."

"Jing Liao said that this opportunity is especially beneficial to weapon-refining cultivators."

Tong Yao looked helplessly at Hua Changxi, who was staring at him expectantly, completely trusting him, and sighed: "The Grand Elder said that you can only choose magic artifacts from the fifth-grade warehouse."

"but."

"Do you want a soul weapon without a grade?"

Hua Changxi: "How can a soul weapon not have a grade?"

Tong Yao: "The power of some magical artifacts changes depending on the strength of the user."

Hua Changxi was immediately intrigued upon hearing this and asked curiously, "What kind of soul weapon do you want to recommend to me?"

Tong Yao took down a black sword from the shelf, its blade pitted and rusted by time, with half of its blade broken off: "This sword is the only soul weapon without a grade in warehouse number five."

Hua Changxi looked at the knife and felt that Tong Yao was playing a trick on her.

The black knife he recommended was not only broken in half, but more importantly, the blade was covered with corroded cracks, making it seem as if the blade would shatter at the slightest touch.

Tong Yao met Hua Changxi's dissatisfied gaze and explained, "Based on my experience in weapon forging, this knife is definitely extraordinary. If it weren't so badly damaged, it wouldn't have been placed in warehouse number five, waiting for you to come and snatch it up."

Hua Changxi listened to his words and took the knife.

The moment she held the knife in her hand, she felt a sharp, needle-like pain on the back of her right hand, which vanished in an instant.

Hua Changxi looked at the black knife, his expression slightly shaken, and quickly closed his eyes to examine the black flames on the Nascent Soul's heart.

The black flames did not grow larger; they merely flickered, as if awakened from a deep sleep.

Seeing her like this, Tong Yao quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

Hua Changxi opened her eyes, not mentioning the strangeness she felt, but simply said, "I say, can't you guys fix this broken sword?"

Tong Yao: "We can't find the materials for refining it." He paused, then added, "Do you want to take a gamble?"

Hua Changxi looked at him and said, "I feel like you're trying to sell a defective product from the Weapon Saint Palace. But, since you recommended it, I'll take this knife anyway."

Tong Yao chuckled: "I think you've clearly taken a liking to this knife."

Hua Changxi shook her head: "I didn't like it, I really didn't like it. I just felt that I was destined to have this knife." Holding the black knife in her hand, her heart was inexplicably excited, like the flickering black flame.

The knife seemed capable of igniting black flames, which alerted her, but she didn't want to miss the opportunity because of it.

For the last soul needle-type magical artifact, Hua Changxi chose a soul hairpin called 'Embroidery Needle'. The soul hairpin can shoot out eighty-one soul needles, which can be recalled and reused repeatedly.

After selecting the three soul artifacts, Hua Changxi followed Tong Yao out of the storeroom.

Once outside the warehouse, Hua Changxi said, "Tong Yao, send a message to Jingliao and Zhenzhen, telling them I'm going to explore that strange place, and ask if they want to come and meet me."
