Longevity starts with choosing Hextech enhancement

Chapter 373 Disassembling Demonic Beasts and Purchasing Spiritual Items (4K)

Yunwo Zhenjun spoke with a serious tone, which did not seem like a simple formality.

Although he was still secretly doubting Xiao Chen's true level yesterday.

However, after experiencing this battle and witnessing firsthand what it means to turn the tide, all misunderstandings have been automatically cleared up.

Now, True Monarch Yunwo finally understands why the people of the Tiangang Sect trust each other so much.

It should be noted that, strictly speaking, Xiao Chen had only been here for eleven hours, less than a full day.

However, it resolved the crisis on the southern front that had plagued Yuntao Jianlu for two years.

With the giant octopus reduced to ashes, the sea creatures' offensive on the southern front was completely thwarted.

The progress is so fast it's astonishing.

Even now, when Yunwo Zhenjun looks back, he still feels that it's somewhat unreal.

Yesterday's battle plan was to successfully kill the swordfish, which would be considered a success.

As a result, Xiao Chen first killed the swordfish, then eliminated the grouper, used flying needles to hunt down the red flower crab, and burned the giant octopus with his spiritual fire.

He basically wiped out all the demons on the southern front single-handedly.

"Hi~!"

After careful consideration, True Monarch Yunwo couldn't help but gasp again.

All the victories were directly related to Xiao Chen.

The others merely served to restrain the situation from the sidelines.

At this moment, only two words can describe Yunwo Zhenjun's feelings—outrageous!
Immediately afterwards, he couldn't help but feel a little mischievous.

How should we explain this battle situation to our fellow cultivators?

Anyone who didn't know better would think they were deliberately slacking off.

Coincidentally, it seemed that True Lord Hanchuan saw right through his thoughts.

He took the initiative to comfort her, saying, "Fellow Daoist Yunwo, there's no need to take it to heart."

"We've all been through this, you'll get used to it."

After all, although the western route took a little longer, it was actually about the same as the southern route in terms of overall time.

They were still expressing their feelings.

Xiao Chen arrived at Rift Sky True Monarch's side first to receive the spoils of war.

After all, his main purpose in coming here was to collect enough fourth-tier spiritual materials.

Although the wretched grouper either self-destructed or was blown to pieces, the Big Dipper Spirit Fire also burned the giant octopus to ashes.

But in any case, he still managed to catch a swordfish and a nearly intact red flower crab.

At least six useful fourth-tier spiritual materials can be separated from them.

The shells of the red flower crabs, in particular, were remarkably well-preserved and can be considered the most important find from this battle.

Actually, breaking down the spiritual materials from a demon beast is quite a technical task.

How can we handle this to maintain the integrity of the spiritual materials to the greatest extent possible?
Do we need to use specific tools or techniques when facing different spirit beasts?
In short, there are many details to pay attention to, and it's not something that can be done casually.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Xiao Chen had to be particular about these details; he could directly dismantle the materials to obtain the corresponding spiritual materials.

However, that would inevitably lead to some waste.

Fortunately, the Cloud Wave Sword Pavilion has specially trained cultivators to decompose spirit fish.

Although its cultivation level is only Golden Core, it is fully capable of dismantling fourth-tier demonic beasts because it has practiced specific spells.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, let them get on with their work."

Yunwo Zhenjun stated directly, "After all, it is a fourth-tier demon beast, so it will inevitably take more time to deal with it."

"After it's broken down tomorrow, we'll have them send it to you."

Xiao Chen waved his hand and said, "Actually, I'm quite interested in dissecting demonic beasts, so this is a good opportunity to learn how."

"To avoid unnecessary waste when encountering monsters alone outside in the future."

He will be dealing with magical beast materials for some time to come, so it is essential for him to master the ability to handle them independently.

"As expected of Fellow Daoist Xiao!"

Upon hearing this, True Lord Gangyuan immediately praised, "You are a role model for us all, always diligent and eager to learn."

"To my shame, although I am a few years older, I have never really thought about learning these important skills."

"In this respect, I am far inferior to you, fellow Daoist."

Ok?
Han Chuan Zhenjun was shocked. "Aren't you just praising someone for no reason?"
To be honest, the reason why major sects set up such positions is to free up the time of other disciples so that they don't have to study these miscellaneous tasks.
The Tiangang Sect naturally also has dedicated personnel responsible for breaking down spiritual materials.

The others, of course, didn't need to learn how to deal with monsters.

“Fellow Daoist Gangyuan is right.”

True Monarch Yunwo nodded in agreement: "No wonder Fellow Daoist Xiao is so powerful; it must be closely related to his daily efforts."

Then, changing the subject, he said, "Someone, quickly bring me the relevant books on the decomposition of spiritual materials for Fellow Daoist Xiao to refer to."

He also specifically instructed the Golden Core disciple to be more careful in his actions later.

"Well, then I'll accept your offer."

Since there was a secret technique to learn, Xiao Chen did not refuse.

So he first read through the ancient texts before observing the process of dealing with the monster up close.

If you have any questions along the way, just ask. The Golden Core disciple will answer them without reservation.

Although he only disassembled two spirit beasts, he explained in detail all the practical experience he had gained.

His sincerity was a hundred times better than when he was teaching his apprentices.

After all, when it comes to teaching Xiao Chen, there's absolutely no need to worry about the master starving to death after teaching his apprentice.

Eighteen hours later, the two demonic beasts were finally dismantled.

Besides the upper jawbone, the swordfish also had three slightly bluish-white spine segments and a dorsal fin as thin as a cicada's wing, capable of cleaving through clouds and mist.

In addition, there is a purplish-blue inner liner that hums in mid-air.

This is quite a rare item, as it is filled with the power of thunder, even though the swordfish had not been seen using the corresponding ability before.

As for the red flower crab, of course, its red crystal shell was removed first.

Then, two egg-sized red flame beads were pulled out from the pincers.

Then, from a piece of soft, red jade-like armor deep inside the crab's belly, a wisp of its natal demonic fire was forced out.

But the most precious thing has to be the Thousand Clouds Cream that condenses in the dark layer of the crab shell.

To be honest, even without the guidance of any ancient texts, Xiao Chen could basically find all those parts.

The only question is whether the spiritual materials will be slightly damaged when they are disassembled.

However, even with hints in the book, finding this place can be quite difficult.

The main problem is that the dark layer is not only extremely well hidden, but also has natural patterns inside that interfere with divine sense detection.

If you're not careful, you might miss it.

More importantly, from such a huge crab, only six ounces of Qianxia ointment were scraped off.

Moreover, according to that Golden Core disciple, there are usually only about five coins in the body of a third-tier Red Flower Crab.

As we all know, things are valued for their scarcity.

This rare Qianxia Cream is naturally extremely precious.

When used on magical artifacts, it creates a rainbow trail when unleashed, which is not only visually appealing but can also affect the enemy's ability to intercept it.

If it were mixed into the array base, it could generate morning glow and evening mist within the grand array, making it ideal for enhancing illusion magic. "It's truly remarkable that the Red Flower Crab can actually produce spiritual materials for illusion magic."

Xiao Chen had never heard of such obscure knowledge before: "It's a pity there's a little less quantity, otherwise it would have been perfect for practicing the 'Refractive Illusion Technique'."

It's okay, we can save it up and see how it goes.

If I could get another one, I could take it back and add it to my custom spear.

After dismantling the spiritual materials, Xiao Chen naturally didn't forget to collect the crab meat.

After all, the red flower crab is rumored to have sweet and delicious meat, so since we've come across it, we should definitely test it out and bring some back for Su Li.

Of course, he only picked the freshest and tastiest part.

Even so, it still weighs a full 20,000 jin!

After all, red flower crabs are quite large.

That evening, Xiao Chen enjoyed a feast of fresh crab meat at the Sword Pavilion.

During the meal, he offered, "I'm currently short of spiritual materials. If you don't mind, how about we don't share the harvest this time, but instead compensate you with spirit stones?"

However, everyone said they didn't need it.

In particular, True Monarch Yunwo not only refused the compensation, but also took the initiative to ask, "I wonder what spiritual materials Fellow Daoist Xiao is lacking?"

"Anything in the sect's warehouse can be taken directly."

His intentions were good, but he clearly misjudged the situation.

If it were just a matter of lacking one or two spiritual materials, Xiao Chen might have accepted it without much hesitation.

However, even though he had just obtained eight fourth-tier spiritual items, he was still dozens of items short of obtaining his second fully fused spiritual artifact.

Even if we take all of Yuntao Sword Lodge's inventory, it might not be enough.

Considering the huge shortfall, Xiao Chen still politely declined, saying, "That won't do. As the saying goes, even brothers have to keep clear accounts."

"Let's keep things separate. This is something that should be traded normally, so let's just trade normally."

"By the way, speaking of which, I actually have a business deal I'd like to discuss."

As he spoke, he directly took out the purchase list from the Reverse Immortal Alliance: "Please take a look, Fellow Daoist Yunwo and Fellow Daoist Gangyuan, and see if we have any of the spiritual items listed on this list in stock."

"By the way, let's calculate the price of these items."

"Please don't stand on ceremony with me, everyone. I'm just buying this for a friend. If everything goes well, I'll probably need more in the future."

"So we should just calculate the amount of spirit stones as it is."

When True Lord Yunwo and True Lord Gangyuan heard that the goods were for someone else, they abandoned their idea of ​​simply giving them away for free to gain favor.

Instead, they started browsing the specific details of the goods.

Both of them managed a large sect, and upon closer inspection, several clues were immediately apparent.

The spiritual items on the list don't seem to be for personal use; rather, they seem to be a need arising from a newly established large power.

Since that's the case, they naturally handled it officially.

These things are hard to obtain for the Reverse Immortal Alliance, but for them, they are incredibly easy.

After all, neither of them is under the jurisdiction of the Holy City.

Therefore, True Lord Yunwo immediately said, "These things look complicated, but there are no particularly rare items. In my opinion, I should take over this business."

"There is no need to trouble Fellow Daoist Gangyuan to transport spiritual items from afar."

Gangyuan Zhenjun smiled, which was taken as tacit agreement with his idea.

Xiao Chen had no problem with it, and so it was settled.

Although it was supposed to be a business transaction, True Lord Yunwo ultimately offered a price that was slightly higher than the cost.

They only collected 3.6 million spirit stones.

Keep in mind that reselling the goods on this list would bring in at least seven million spirit stones.

Xiao Chen only needs to make a simple transaction to earn a huge profit of 3.4 million spirit stones.

It was much more than he had initially thought.

Moreover, this is just the beginning. As the differences between the two worlds are gradually discovered, the potential for profit will only increase.

It can be said that as long as you can make good use of the Dimensional Warlock Emblem, a Hextech item, you'll be able to succeed.

He will never have to worry about lacking spirit stone flowers again.

From this perspective, the Dimensional Warlock's Emblem should be considered an economical Hextech item.

After discussing the purchase of spiritual materials.

Xiao Chen didn't rush to discuss the trade of spiritual materials. Instead, he enjoyed the food while inquiring about the latest situation in the outside world.

The main concern is whether there have been any new developments in other places in the last few months.

Actually, he wanted to ask this as soon as he arrived.

However, it's not too late to learn about it now.

"The latest development is the news of reinforcements from the sea creatures."

Yunwo Zhenjun took the initiative to speak, saying, "Not only have new sea monsters appeared in the south, but reinforcements have also arrived from Qiankonghai and Pudu Temple."

“Especially Pudu Temple, the situation is said to be quite serious.”

"If it weren't for the successive breakthroughs of Arhat Fazhao and Arhat Minghuo, which helped to share some of the pressure, the situation would be very different now."

"It's just a pity about the Arhat with the guiding light."

"At the crucial moment of the breakthrough, the sea creatures interfered, and all efforts were in vain."

Xiao Chen did have some impression of the Arhat with the Bright Lamp.

Three years ago, when he went to the new ruins, he heard that the other party was helping rogue cultivators heal their injuries for free and giving away healing elixirs.

Whatever his true purpose may be, he is ultimately someone who wants to do good deeds.

I never expected to encounter such a situation.

At this moment, a question arose: "How could he have failed to break through?"

"As far as I remember, he should also be one of the next generation of Zen masters that Pudu Temple is focusing on cultivating, right?"

This doesn't mean that focusing on training will guarantee a breakthrough.

However, given the resources and foundation of Pudu Temple, they should have a way to roughly estimate the success rate of the breakthrough.

Normally, if you don't have an 80% or 90% certainty, you can hold off on making a breakthrough for now.

Anyway, these promising talents are still young, and it's not too late to lay a solid foundation even if it takes a hundred or two hundred years.

"Oh, there's nothing we can do."

A hint of regret crept into Yunwo Zhenjun's words: "The pressure ahead was just too great; there's no time left for these promising talents to grow slowly."

"It's not just Pudu Temple, the same goes for Cangming Immortal Sect and Qianji Valley."

"Those disciples who have reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage and are confident that they can successfully break through have basically all been brought out for an attempt."

"With such a hasty operation, the casualties are naturally high, and almost none of the survivors survived."

Upon hearing this, True Lord Gangyuan couldn't help but sigh, "Alas, there's nothing we can do about this situation; it's just one's fate."

Even the two True Lords were filled with emotion when discussing such matters.

After all, they had all come from the Golden Core stage and understood the difficulties involved.

In particular, the casualties of Yuntao Sword Pavilion and Tiangang Sect were also considerable, so they can be fully understood.
