Chapter 180: Manipulating Gold: Ore Scales

The moment the contract ceremony began, Qi Ping knew about the talent he had shared.

Body of gold and stone!

After a long time, when Qi Ping woke up again, he had a lot more insights about the body of gold and stone in his mind.

Because the contract lasted too long, when he woke up, the little stone spirit had fallen asleep beside him.

This sleepiness ability is even greater than that of the little fox.

Seeing that the little stone spirit was sleeping soundly, Qi Ping did not disturb it, but placed some spirit stones and minerals next to it.

When the stone spirit is dormant, it can autonomously absorb the surrounding spiritual stones and mineral elements.

Sure enough, not long after Qi Ping placed the ore and spirit stone next to the little stone spirit, wisps of spiritual energy and ore essence were absorbed by the little stone spirit.

Perhaps it was because the little stone spirit could sense that there was no danger, or perhaps it was because the animal companion contract could sense Qi Ping's presence, so some noise from the outside world did not wake it up.

The little fox was particularly curious about the existence of the little stone spirit and wandered around it for a long time.

A talking stone is really strange in its eyes.

Now the stone seems to be asleep, and it feels it is not good to disturb it, so it plans to wait until the stone wakes up before playing with it.

But how could it know that if nothing special happened or Qi Ping took the initiative to look for it, even if there was some big noise in the outside world, the little stone spirit would never wake up as long as it didn't sense any danger.

After playing with the little fox a few times, Qi Ping continued to comprehend the talent he had just shared.

Although the talent of the Metal and Stone Body has been shared with him, he is still far from being familiar with it.

Now is a good time to take advantage of this opportunity to gain more insights.

Because there was no more spiritual energy to cultivate spiritual medicine in the territory, Qi Ping did not need to cultivate spiritual medicine for the time being, so he sensed and tested his talent of golden stone body for two days in a row.

It was not until two days later that Qi Ping came to the end of this realization.

"What a terrifying gold-attribute talent!"

After thoroughly understanding the talent of [Golden Stone Body], Qi Ping was completely shocked by the power of this talent!
First of all, in terms of affinity and manipulation of golden spiritual energy, the body of gold and stone is actually superior to Yaya's yang fire body!
Qi Ping estimated that Yaya would have to complete one more bloodline transformation before he could catch up with the little stone spirit in this respect.

Qi Ping couldn't help but sigh that the stone spirit was indeed an extremely rare innate creature with unparalleled talent. It was indeed a very lucky thing for Qi Ping to be able to contract a stone spirit.

However, the power of [Golden Stone Body] is far more than that.

As soon as Qi Ping thought about it, stones and metal weapons instantly floated around Qi Ping, and under Qi Ping's control, they performed various precise and difficult movements.

"The ability to manipulate metallic objects is so strong that it's a little scary!"

Qi Ping felt that if a sword cultivator obtained this talent, his combat capability would probably soar to a higher level.

Because of the existence of this ability, not only can the power of the flying sword be enhanced, the ability to manipulate the sword can be greatly enhanced, but it can also disrupt the enemy's weapon attacks.

Even the slightest influence could have a fatal impact on the battle situation.

At the same time, the appearance of the stone spirit and the [Golden Stone Body] talents also gave Qi Ping some feasible ideas about his own natal magic weapon.

Before this, Qi Ping had also considered owning a magical weapon of his own.

After all, for a cultivator, it is really unreasonable not to have his own life-defining magic weapon. However, powerful magic weapons are hard to find, and ordinary magic weapons are not of much help to Qi Ping.

The most important thing is that Qi Ping does not have a powerful way to use magic weapons. Some ordinary magic weapons are not as powerful as Qi Ping's one-handed ones.

But it’s different now!

"If I use the accompanying ore produced by the stone essence as raw material, I can refine thousands of metal scales and then form a special ore scale armor."

"Then, this mineral scale armor can be used to protect the whole body under my control, or it can be used to provide multi-layer defense against attacks on a certain part of the body!"

"And defense isn't all this special magic weapon is about. I can also manipulate the mineral scales like flying swords, splitting them into thousands of attacks!"

"My soul strength and [Golden Stone Body] can fully support me in this kind of difficult defense and attack!"

"Finally, I can also engrave defense formations and attack formations on this hard and special mineral scale, so that the mineral scales can form special defense formations and attack formations at any time!"

"As for the upgrade of ore scales, as long as the stone essence has enough spiritual energy and metal ore, it can produce more associated ores, and then combine it with basic quenching and refining methods to refine it into metal scales suitable for engraving array formations. It does not need to be made into a fully formed magic weapon, as long as the quality is high enough."

The basic quenching and refining methods were not difficult for Qi Ping to find. Meng Yan was a master in refining equipment, so Qi Ping only needed to find a time to talk to Meng Yan.

"Not bad, not bad. With the stone spirit here, I now have a special magical weapon that I can continuously upgrade and polish!"

"If I can gather all five elements' talents in the future, it wouldn't be a bad idea to refine them into five elements magical instruments!"

The magic weapon conceived by Qi Ping can attack, defend, upgrade, and be combined with formations, which can perfectly match Qi Ping's needs and talent characteristics.

Once this magic weapon is in full defense and full attack mode, Qi Ping can hardly imagine how powerful it will be.

However, no matter how powerful it is, it is only suitable for Qi Ping himself. After all, ordinary people cannot use such a special magic weapon, and Qi Ping cannot buy it even if he wants to.

"I didn't expect that this time when I contracted the stone spirit, not only did I gain a gold talent, but I also solved the magic weapon problem that I had been worrying about!"

Qi Ping was very satisfied with this harvest.

However, after becoming familiar with the talent he had just contracted, Qi Ping fell into another problem: he had no spiritual energy!

Now the entire spiritual land is barely maintained by the Star Spirit Wood (Spirit Gathering Technique). Qi Ping has no way to continue practicing, cultivating spiritual medicines, or raising animal companions.

If it weren't for the fact that the Star Spirit Wood (Spirit Gathering Technique) was very effective in gathering spiritual energy, Qi Ping's territory would probably be unable to make ends meet.

"It seems that it is imperative to obtain the essence of the spirit veins and contract more spirit woods, otherwise I can only comprehend the laws and study the formations in the next period of time."

"But how can I obtain the essence of the spiritual vein?"

Qi Ping was also quite troubled by this problem. After thinking for a while, he finally decided to try them all.

So he sent messages to Meng Yan and Hongli of the Yunshan family respectively, expressing his desire to purchase the essence of the spiritual vein.

Now Qi Ping has [Natural Perception] which can be used as a basic guide to avoid danger and seek good fortune, and the safety of these things is also better guaranteed.

At the same time, Qi Ping felt that it was still not safe, so he turned his attention to the black market.

However, the black market that Qi Ping is targeting is not an ordinary black market, but an extremely mysterious organization in the world of immortal cultivation.

It is said that you can find anything you want there, but the entry and transaction thresholds are extremely high.
