I proved immortality with thunder magic.

Hu Qianqian was indeed very capable; in just a few days, she brought back several quotes from weapon refiners to Zhou Tai.

Since the magical artifacts he wanted to customize were all top-grade first-tier artifacts, basically only artifact refiners with Foundation Establishment cultivation could accept the orders, so the prices were not low.

After reviewing several quotes and comparing them, Zhou Tai finally chose the one he considered the most suitable.

The offer he chose totaled 3,500 low-grade spirit stones, divided into four magical artifacts.

The custom price of these magical artifacts, averaging eight or nine hundred low-grade spirit stones per piece, is more than half higher than the price of a normal first-grade high-grade magical artifact.

It's only because Zhou Tai is so good at making money that very few Qi Refining cultivators would be willing to do this.

After making his choice, he personally went out and handed over a deposit of one thousand low-grade spirit stones to the weapon refiner, signing a contract to entrust him with the weapon refining.

According to the contract, the weapon refiner needs to complete the forging of four magical artifacts within one year, and Zhou Tai must make up the remaining spirit stones within two years after receiving the artifacts.

After finishing the task of customizing the ritual implements, Zhou Tai began to focus on drawing talismans to save money.

Six months have passed in the blink of an eye.

That day, Zhou Tai suddenly received a message from Aaron Kwok, who had returned from the Demon Abyss Mountains and invited him to come over for a chat.

He readily agreed and went to Aaron Kwok's residence the next day.

When he arrived at the location and saw Aaron Kwok, he found that the once 180 or 190-pound fat man now looked to have lost at least 40 or 50 pounds, and his face was abnormally pale.

Zhou Tai was slightly startled and hurriedly asked with concern, "Senior Brother Guo, are you injured? Is your injury serious?"

"It's alright, I'm already very satisfied to have survived. The slight deficit will be fine after a couple of years of recuperation!"

Aaron Kwok smiled slightly, his tone quite optimistic.

Hearing him say that, Zhou Tai felt relieved.

Having known each other for many years, Zhou Tai had long known that Aaron Kwok was actually only one year older than him, and that if he took two years to recover, it would not delay his attempt to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

But he couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked, "What exactly happened? With your skills, Senior Brother Guo, how could you be injured like this?"

Aaron Kwok had anticipated this question and immediately sighed, "Alas, it's a bit embarrassing to talk about. I was careless for a moment and was ambushed by a Blood Spirit Sect member, suffering the infamous Blood-Dissolving Curse!"

"Fortunately, Mr. Guo valued his life and always carried several purifying pills and talismans, which is why he was rescued in time and his life was saved!"

At this point, he looked at Zhou Tai with gratitude in his eyes and said, "Junior Brother Zhou, the batch of thunder talismans you sent later saved my life. If I hadn't used the thunder talismans to severely injure that guy at the critical moment, I wouldn't have had time to take any pills or talismans!"

Upon hearing his reply, Zhou Tai couldn't help but sigh, "That's because you, Senior Brother Guo, are blessed with good fortune. I've heard that the Blood Transformation Curse is extremely dangerous; very few Qi Refining cultivators survive after being cursed!"

Since being promoted to an outer disciple, Zhou Tai has been able to go out more easily and freely enter and exit the outer library. In addition, thanks to Guo Fucheng's previous reminder, Zhou Tai has also visited the library to look at information about the Demon Abyss Mountain Range and the Demonic Sect of Ba Kingdom.

The Blood Spirit Sect mentioned by Aaron Kwok is one of the six major sects of the Ba Kingdom's demonic path, and its overall strength is much greater than that of the Spirit Beast Mountain.

This demonic sect's "Blood Transformation Curse" is extremely famous, and it is said that anyone struck by it will surely die.

It is said that cultivators struck by the "Blood Transformation Curse" will soon be turned into a pool of blood if they cannot purify the power of the curse within their bodies in time.

Even if the rumors are exaggerated or untrue, it is truly a blessing that Aaron Kwok survived after being under such a vicious curse!

"Those guys from the Demonic Sect may not have mastered the Great Dao, but they do have some skills. Junior Brother Zhou, if you encounter them in the future, don't be careless."

Having narrowly escaped death, Aaron Kwok's mindset seems to have changed somewhat. Now, when he talks about the methods of demonic cultivators, his eyes are full of fear.

"Of course, I haven't lived enough yet, junior brother."

As Zhou Tai spoke, he curiously inquired about the details of his encounter with the demonic cultivators, wanting to learn more about the demonic cultivators from this eyewitness.

Aaron Kwok, of course, did not hide anything from him and immediately told him in detail all the methods of the various demonic sect disciples that he knew.

Through Aaron Kwok's narration and by comparing it with the information he had read in the classics, Zhou Tai gained a much deeper understanding of demonic cultivators and firmly remembered this valuable information.

After Aaron Kwok finished recounting some of his experiences, Zhou Tai thought for a moment and then asked, "Senior Brother Kwok, now that you've returned, you must be planning to reach the Foundation Establishment stage, right?"

Aaron Kwok nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I have met the merit requirements for exchanging for the Foundation Establishment spiritual item. I will get it in a few days. Next, I just need to replenish the depleted vital energy in my body before I go into seclusion to establish my foundation."

Even though Zhou Tai had already guessed this, he couldn't help but sigh with envy, "I really envy Senior Brother Guo! I wonder when I can be like that!"

"Hehe, with Junior Brother Zhou's current earning power, even though Foundation Establishment spiritual items are precious, he'll definitely be able to afford them eventually. What's there to envy!"

Aaron Kwok smiled and shook his head, not taking Zhou Tai's words seriously.

Although he had only been back for a short time, he had already heard about the great success of the Thunder Talisman through his network of contacts.

Therefore, it is known that Zhou Tai must be making a fortune now.

Zhou Tai didn't deny it, but simply sighed softly, "I'm afraid there will be a shortage of goods when the time comes!"

Unlike other things, Foundation Establishment spiritual items are not something you can't buy if you have spirit stones.

These strategic resources are inherently difficult to produce and are strictly controlled by major powers, rarely flowing into the market.

Therefore, even if many cultivators outside have saved up enough spirit stones, they often cannot buy foundation-building spiritual items.

"That's true..."

Aaron Kwok frowned, knowing that Zhou Tai's concerns were not unfounded.

For a moment, I didn't know how to comfort Zhou Taihao.

Seeing that he had made the atmosphere a bit somber, Zhou Tai felt a little guilty and immediately waved his hand, saying, "Never mind, things will work themselves out. We'll figure out what to do when the time comes!"

Seeing that he had figured it out himself, Aaron Kwok felt relieved and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Junior Brother Zhou is right. Maybe we'll find a way then."

After bringing the heavy topic to a close, Zhou Tai quickly changed the subject, asking, "Now that Senior Brother Guo is back, will our deal continue?"

Aaron Kwok immediately waved his hand and said, "I'm not feeling well right now and it's inconvenient for me to move around. Let's talk about it after I've recovered."

After thinking for a moment, he continued, "Of course, if you need me to help you buy anything, Junior Brother Zhou, you can also send me a message, and I will contact someone to buy it for you."

Zhou Tai has no worries about sales now. After hearing Guo Fucheng's answer, he didn't say much, but just nodded and said, "Junior brother understands. Then Senior Brother Guo, please rest assured and recover from your injury. I won't bother you any longer."

He then took his leave and returned to Yuanfu Peak.

Several more months passed, and the magical artifacts Zhou Tai had commissioned were finished. He received a notification to pick them up.

The day after receiving the notification, he took a thousand low-grade spirit stones and retrieved the four magical artifacts.

The four magical artifacts were a pale blue wooden shield, a silver-black flying sword, a crimson net, and a green gourd.

The shield artifact is called "Azure Cloud Shield". It is made from a very precious first-grade high-quality spiritual wood called Azure Profound Wood. When it is used, it can release emerald clouds to protect the body. Its defensive power is no less than that of a first-grade high-quality spell. As long as the magic power is not exhausted and the artifact is not damaged, it can be continuously generated.

The silver-black flying sword is called the "Silver Star Sword". Its main material is Hundred-Refined Black Iron. It is named so because it contains two ounces of Silver Star Iron. This sword is very sharp and can emit a silver sword light. It can cut iron like mud and is unstoppable.

The crimson net is called "Fire Cloud Net". It is made from the spider silk spun by the second-tier demon beast, the Crimson Flame Spider. Once it is used, it can transform into a cloud of fire and cover the target. Once the target is trapped, he will be in a sea of ​​fire, and the fire contains the fire poison and evil energy of the Crimson Flame Spider.

The green gourd is called the "Illusionary Smoke Gourd". It contains a large amount of poisonous smoke with hallucinogenic effects. When used, the magic tool is activated to release the poisonous smoke. Once humans or animals inhale the poisonous smoke, they will experience hallucinations.

These four magical artifacts each have unique uses, encompassing offense, defense, grappling, and support. Any cultivator who obtains them will experience a significant increase in strength.

After Zhou Tai tested the wonderful uses of the four magical artifacts one by one, he was very satisfied.

Unfortunately, his cultivation level is still too low. With only the sixth level of Qi Refining, it is difficult for him to activate four first-grade high-quality magic weapons at the same time. He can only control two at the same time, and not for long.

Even so, after mastering the four magical artifacts, Zhou Tai couldn't resist posting a bounty, wanting to find someone to test his current strength.
