Evil Immortal!

Seeing that it was already noon and the sun in the sky was scorching hot, he didn't think too much about it. He found a wooden basin and filled it with water.

Then, Meng Yuan took out an iron needle and pricked the deformed sarcoma. With a slight sting, drops of blood flowed out and fell into the wooden basin, blooming into scarlet and delicate flowers in the clear water.

The blood was dark red, and as it spread in the water, it turned the water a pale red. Despite the blazing sun, the water had a strange, chilling feel to it.

The face on the tumor twitched a few times after being pricked with a needle, revealing a hint of resentment.

"The aberrant sarcoma is the embodiment of pollution in my body, and the blood in it contains a strong evil energy... It should be able to force the rooster's pure yang energy to the comb area."

Meng Yuan pondered for a moment, and when the clear water in the wooden basin had completely turned light red, he threw the rooster into the basin.

"Giggle giggle—"

When the rooster fell into the water, it suddenly jolted, as if stimulated by something, and struggled to jump out, but Meng Yuan held it down in the water.

Strangely, its comb became increasingly bright red, almost dripping with blood.

Meng Yuan reacted quickly, piercing the rooster's comb with a single needle.

In an instant, drops of bright red, shiny chicken blood, faintly shimmering with a hint of gold, seeped out.

Meng Yuan swiftly drew his longsword and dripped the few drops of chicken blood, which shimmered with a faint golden light, onto the blade. Under his control, the blood quickly flowed down the blade.

Before long, Meng Yuan wiped away the chicken blood with a rag and found a thin, golden-red thread on the blade.

"Indeed, the rooster is a bird of pure yang, and its blood can suppress evil spirits. This rooster's pure yang energy is much stronger. By using the yin energy to force its pure yang energy to the comb, it can generate the purest essence blood."

Meng Yuan looked at the scene for a moment in the sunlight, then nodded in satisfaction:

"Now that the essence of blood has seeped into the blade, this blade has gained some power to slay evil and destroy demons, making it a makeshift magic weapon."

He was delighted, but then secretly shook his head.

"It's a pity I'm not currently a weapon refiner and don't know the art of weapon refining. Otherwise, if the pure Yang energy in my blood essence could be fully unleashed, the power of this sword would surely increase many times over!"

His actions just now were merely a crude way of utilizing the rooster's essence.

Even so, this long sword became a powerful weapon against evil spirits.

If it were a proper weapon refiner who could fully unleash the pure yang energy in the blood essence, the power would undoubtedly be even greater!

However, weapon crafting is a proper secondary profession, and it is known as one of the Six Arts of Cultivation, along with alchemy, formation, talisman drawing, spiritual plant cultivation, and beast driving. It is profound and complements the path of cultivation, and it is not easy to get a job in it.

But once you learn the art of weapon crafting, you'll naturally reap many benefits.

For example, if he obtains some rare spiritual materials or kills some demons and evil spirits, and gets some strange and unusual materials, he can refine weapons and magical artifacts himself, making him invincible in protecting himself and killing enemies.

Whether you switch to the path of immortality or martial arts in the future, you will need to refine your own natal magic weapon or natal divine weapon.

"Speaking of which, there is a fortuitous opportunity left by our predecessors in the Red Mud Swamp, about three hundred miles away from Black Sand City. It contains a weapon-refining inheritance and is a future opportunity for a certain professional player."

Meng Yuan's eyes flickered as he recalled a place:

"That place is a bit dangerous, but it has many benefits. I'll definitely go there once I've mastered the 'Black Pig Gluttony Technique'... Hmm, I also need to learn alchemy. It's much more important than the foreign languages ​​Dean Chen is learning..."

Meng Yuan had long had ideas about the two secondary professions of weapon refiner and alchemist.

It's not just because these two side jobs are very useful to him.

Once he has crafted weapons, magical artifacts, and elixirs, he can sell them in large quantities to players after the game launches, gaining experience points, spirit stones, spiritual materials, and other cultivation resources through trading, thus profiting from the players.

Especially experience points, which are related to his own cultivation. It is dangerous and time-consuming to accumulate experience by fighting monsters on his own. How can it be as convenient as taking advantage of other players?

Clang——

Meng Yuan sheathed his sword, glanced at the rooster, and noticed that it was noticeably more listless and somewhat dispirited. He put it in its cage, fed it some grain, and recalled some amusing anecdotes.

"I remember that the Golden Rooster Temple, a major sect in Yunzhou, kept a Golden Rooster of the Sun. It was an ancient spiritual species, comparable to dragons and phoenixes. The true fire of the sun it spewed could burn mountains and boil seas, and its crow could pierce gold and split rocks, repelling all evil... It was the nemesis of many demons and evil spirits."

"If I could have even a drop of the essence blood of the Golden Rooster of the Sun, I wouldn't fear the Skin-Peeling Demon, let alone the Painted Skin Demon..."

Thinking of this, Meng Yuan suddenly shook his head and chuckled, realizing he was indulging in wishful thinking.

Not to mention that the Golden Rooster Temple is full of powerful figures, including many at the Golden Core and Yin God levels, making it an undisputed behemoth, the Golden Rooster itself is a demon king. With my small body, I probably couldn't even withstand a single glance from it.

......

Yinliu Riverbank.

Amidst the dense aquatic plants, a slender figure lurked, secretly observing a boy resting under a tree on the bank.

The figure in the water plants resembled an ape or monkey, with a face like a fierce ghost. Its body was covered with blackish-gray animal fur, and its vital parts, such as its waist and abdomen, had black scales like those of a fish. It had sharp claws and teeth, and its eyes were eerie green, exuding a cold aura. It looked extremely strange and frightening!

If there were river patrol workers here, they would recognize it as a kind of evil creature called a water monkey.

They typically inhabit riverbanks, are excellent swimmers, and enjoy feeding on human flesh and blood. They especially like to drag people into the water, and after the person has drowned, they emit a sharp and piercing laugh before devouring their flesh and blood. They are an exceptionally cruel monster.

The Yinliu River is rich in resources, so it is naturally not lacking in such evil creatures.

Seeing that the boy on the shore had closed his eyes and was breathing steadily, seemingly having fallen into a deep sleep, the water monkey greedily glanced at the boy's tender flesh, recalling the smooth texture when it ate him last time, and thick saliva dripped from the corners of its mouth.

hiss--

Its long, slender, scarlet tongue flicked out and licked its lips. Then, it quietly emerged from the water plants and crawled over step by step.

The water monkey was quite cautious. Before coming ashore, it looked around to make sure there was no danger or anything unusual before approaching the boy step by step.

As it approached, it stretched out its hairy black claws and grabbed at the boy's ankles, trying to drag him into the water.

They are considered a kind of spirit or monster, and they are excellent swimmers. Their strength in the water is several times that of a normal person, and once they come out of the water, they are about the same as an adult man.

In its eyes, the boy was doomed and was about to become its prey.

Swish!

But at that moment, the boy opened his eyes and met its gaze.

His eyes were calm and bright, showing no panic, but rather a cold smile, filled with an indescribable mockery.

not good!

The water monkey was suddenly startled. Its intelligence, which was no less than that of a ten-year-old child, made it realize that something was wrong. Just as it was about to retreat, it saw the boy in front of it swing his arm and draw a long knife.

Clang——

A cold light suddenly shone.

As a black "-550" fatal damage value rose, the water monkey's body froze, its head suddenly slid off its neck and fell to the ground, blood spurting from the severed neck.

Ding!

[You killed the water monkey, experience +45!]
