Gao Wu Da Qin: You don't want your secret to be known, do you?

Chapter 107 A New Blue Ocean Market - Ancient Heavenly Demon Characters and Chi You's Mysterious Weapon

The map of Hongmeng Abyss shows that there are seven layers in total, from top to bottom.

The first and second levels are located in the outer areas, which are uninhabited and desert areas with few people, harsh environments, and frequent extreme weather. The population is pitifully small, and they have no other function besides some daily livelihood.

The third, fourth, and fifth floors belong to the living areas of ordinary people. This is the most lively area, where humans, demons, spirits, and various other races are mixed together, creating a chaotic and diverse environment.

The sixth floor is the noble area, which is an exclusive area for demon nobles. Only those of pure bloodline orthodox demon race are allowed to enter.

The seventh level is a forbidden area for royalty; only demons of the royal bloodline of the Hongmeng Abyss are allowed to enter.

Upon entering the third level, Qin Feng felt a completely different atmosphere from the second level. The first thing he noticed was that there were more people, and secondly, there were more different races.

On the first and second floors, Qin Feng saw mostly humans, with very few demons. Occasionally, he would see one or two demons with long tails and long ears, which would make Qin Feng stop and observe them for a long time.

Now, on the third level, there are about three to five demons, or half-demons, out of every ten individuals. These guys range in size from 0.1 centimeters to tens of meters, a huge difference. Even among different individuals of the same race, the differences can be worlds apart.

Having seen so much, Qin Feng had become numb to it all. He was no longer surprised to see lions with human heads, tigers standing upright, jackals, and leopards.

"Get out of the way! All of you, get out of the way! How dare you block Lord Bailu's carriage? Are you courting death?"

"They're really courting death!"

Several bodyguards with lion heads and human bodies walked aggressively towards them. Pedestrians walking on both sides of the street were bumped and pushed to the side by these bodyguards, and many stumbled and fell.

Qin Feng and Li Nishui were also pushed, and the two hid in the crowd, looking towards the center.

Before long, four black demon wolves, each ten feet long and as tall as a person, with pure blood, appeared in the air. Behind each wolf, a magnificent ancient demon chariot with black flames was being dragged. On both sides of the chariot, beautiful Asura women held plaques and floated around. The whole scene was magnificent, as if an ancient demon king had been born!

Those watching from the left and right looked up, their eyes filled with awe, longing, and envy.

Qin Feng watched the demon chariot depart, muttering, "Brother Li, that chariot is truly magnificent! Who is this Lord White Deer? Is he a noble from the Hongmeng Abyss?"

Li Nishui's eyes were also full of doubt. "He's not a noble from the Hongmeng Abyss. Nobles from the Hongmeng Abyss would appear on the third level! He should be an ordinary demon. But how can an ordinary demon be equipped with a pure-blooded demon wolf mount? Isn't this a bit too high a standard?"

As soon as Li Nishui finished speaking, a white cat-faced monster with a pointed snout and monkey-like cheeks turned around, sizing up Qin Feng and Li Nishui with extreme displeasure. "Two mere human ants dare to discuss Lord White Deer!"

Do you know who Lord White Deer is?

"That's a legendary powerful figure who awakened the bloodline of a celestial demon!"

"It's said that it can recognize about ten ancient celestial demon characters!"

"With such profound knowledge, Lord White Deer is so powerful that even nobles of royal blood from the sixth level of the Primordial Abyss would have to pay their respects with the utmost respect, let alone ordinary nobles of the Primordial Abyss!"

Facing the cat demon with the white cat face, Qin Feng laughed and said, "Hey buddy, can I ask you what the Heavenly Demon Ancient Characters are?"

The cat demon was initially uninterested in answering, but her expression softened considerably when Qin Feng handed her a box of cigarette candy.

Cigarette candy belongs to the category of cigarettes from the Hongmeng Abyss Immortal Realm. The price is not expensive, ranging from a few hundred to tens of thousands.

Qin Feng, a social butterfly, casually bought a few and carried them with him for easy access. ✊💚 ඏ☆

As the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling face. Faced with a box of cigarette candy costing five hundred yuan, the cat demon took a piece and put it in his mouth, his face beaming with satisfaction as he said, "This 'Heavenly Demon Ancient Character' has quite a history!"

"Legend has it that the script was created by Yuan Futong, the great ancestor of the demon race, who accidentally found the mantle of Chi You, the ancestor of the army! Unfortunately, the great ancestor was plotted against by the three founders of the human race, and he perished before the script could be spread. This resulted in very few powerful demons who learned the ancient script at that time."

"Later on, the elders of the demon race discovered that this script was extraordinary. It was said to be based on bloodline inheritance. If your ancestors knew it, then your descendants would know it too. If your ancestors didn't recognize it, then forget about recognizing it either!"

Li Nishui said, "Then why can't we preach to each other?"

The cat demon chuckled, "This thing is something that can only be understood intuitively, not explained in words. It's something that's destined to be yours; if you don't have it, you won't be able to learn it!"

Qin Feng then asked, "So, what is the use of this 'Heavenly Demon Ancient Character'?"

"It's incredibly useful!" the cat demon exclaimed. "Everyone in the Three Realms knows that Chi You is the master of all weapons! What does it mean to be the master of weapons? It means you can forge the strongest weapons and armor in the world!"

"In the Battle of Zhuolu, even the mighty Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan dared not confront the mighty army of Chiyou, the master of all weapons in the world, which demonstrates the sharpness of Chiyou's weapons!"

"And when the Great Ancestor Yuan Futong received the mantle of Chi You, the Lord of Weapons, it included weapon forging, specifically the art of Xuanbing forging!"

"Once you can recognize the ancient script of the Heavenly Demons, you will be able to study Chi You's art of forging mystical weapons!"

"The art of Xuanbing forging is now widely used in mecha forging. The weapons and armor of those classic mechas you see are basically all forged using the art of Xuanbing forging!"

"A skilled weapon forger can upgrade your mech's firepower by a major level!"

"For example, if the mecha you bought from human society is a low-grade yellow-rank classic abandoned mecha, its power can be upgraded to low-grade Xuan-rank after being forged by a Xuan-rank weapon blacksmith!"

"Tell me, isn't that amazing!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng was instantly enlightened, feeling an overwhelming sense of exhilaration from head to toe!

Previously, when Qin Feng was looking at the team composition on the team composition page, he was curious as to why Hongmeng Abyss had so many high-quality classical mechs!

That doesn't make sense!

Even in human empires, as powerful as the core city of Xianyang in the Qin Dynasty, Meng Tian, ​​a general of the empire, was only a Yellow-rank mecha, and the old general Wang Jian was only a Lower Earth-rank!

In this Hongmeng Abyss, everything is at the Xuan level, and even that crazy fox spirit has a Di-level treasure!

Qin Feng couldn't even dream of the quality of these mechs!

Qin Feng even suspected that the Qin Dynasty's mecha technology was not just one generation behind, but several generations behind!

Now Qin Feng understood that the Hongmeng Abyss had its own mecha upgrade technology—the Chi You Xuanbing Forging Technique!

If we follow this logic and upgrade our [Martial Virtue], wouldn't its combat power go directly from the upper Earth Rank to the upper Heaven Rank?

Qin Feng's eyes lit up as he looked at the cat demon in front of him. "Cat Lord! Just one more question, is upgrading this mecha expensive?"

The cat demon looked at Qin Feng suspiciously. "You also want to upgrade your mecha? Do you even have a mecha?"

Qin Feng said, "I just asked casually."

The cat demon said, "It's not about whether it's expensive or not, it's about whether you can even get in line!"

"Have you seen Lord White Deer?"

"He currently only recognizes ten ancient Heavenly Demon characters, but according to the requirements for forging Chi You's Mystic Weapon, he needs to recognize at least one hundred before he can learn it!"

"If nothing unexpected happens, Lord White Deer will probably know exactly one hundred people by the time it reaches adulthood! And do you know how many orders Lord White Deer has? Over a thousand!"

"No fewer than a thousand people have placed orders for Lord White Deer! Its order book is practically full for its entire lifespan!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng exclaimed, "Is it really necessary to go to such lengths?"

The cat demon said, "Classic mecha can be obtained through smuggling or other means, but Xuanbing forging is priceless! The current Xuanbing masters are all past their lifespan limit, and even apprentices like Lord Bailu have reached their lifespan limit. This shows how sought-after Xuanbing forging is! It's a pity my ancestor wasn't a nine-lived cat demon. If my ancestor had been, perhaps I could have bought a book from the Wenyuan Pavilion and awakened this Heavenly Demon Ancient Character. 🍪🐟 ❻➈丂𝐡𝐮𝓧.Ⓒ𝓸𝔪 🎄🐤"

Qin Feng asked, "Are these books with the ancient script of the Heavenly Demon easy to buy?"

"Do you want to buy it?" The cat demon pointed to a corner not far away. "Look! Wenyuan Pavilion! One hundred copies! These things aren't expensive to begin with, and the kings have printed them at rock-bottom prices to maximize the number of Xuanbing blacksmiths!"

Qin Feng then took out a box of cigarette candy. "Thanks for clearing up my doubts, Brother Cat!"

The cat demon, holding Qin Feng's cigarette candy, trotted away happily.

Seeing Qin Feng so generously give away two boxes of cigarettes and candy, Li Shui Ni said with a hint of pain, "You're really throwing money away like that!"

Qin Feng chuckled, "Just a little something."

Li Shui Ni pointed to the west, "There's an old classmate of mine on the third floor, a good friend from my dorm. I want to go see him."

"Alright!" Qin Feng said, "Then Brother Li, you go first, and we'll contact each other again later."

Li Shui Ni said, "Well, don't go too far! Your current identity hasn't been cancelled yet. I'll find a lawyer to arrange a new identity for you before cancelling it."

"Of course!" Qin Feng waved. "See you again, Brother Li!"

Li Shui Ni quickly disappeared into the crowd.

What Brother Li didn't know was that Qin Feng's identity had already been updated an hour earlier. Qin Feng's new identity was a classical expert professor in the mecha department of Hongmengyuan University.

Qin Feng was too lazy to chat with Li Shui Ni any longer, and then strolled towards the bookstore on the street corner.

The ancient characters for "Heavenly Demon" mentioned by the cat demon had piqued Qin Feng's interest.

According to the cat demon, this thing was a secret manual copied by Yuan Futong, the great ancestor of the demon race, from Chiyou, and almost all the great demons who followed Yuan Futong at that time learned a little bit of it.

His ancestors were the famous descendants of Emperor Ku, who, in the era of his great ancestor Yuan Futong, were truly the elite of the North Sea, second only to one demon and above all others!

Even after Yuan Futong ascended to heaven, it was his ancestor, a descendant of Emperor Ku, who held up the sky over Beihai, preventing Wen Zhong from conquering it!

Logically speaking, the ancestors of Emperor Ku's descendants should know about the inheritance of Chi You's Xuanbing, and even the ancestor of the demon race, Yuan Futong, should know about the ancient demon characters.

So, as a direct descendant of Emperor Ku, there's no reason why I shouldn't be able to understand the ancient characters of the Heavenly Demon!

Thinking is one thing, doing is another. Qin Feng is a man of action, and he quickly arrived at the bookstore.

"Boss, do you have any books with the ancient script of the Heavenly Demon?"

"Look, third row, second column from the left!"

"I saw it!"

Qin Feng picked up an old book with a black cover and opened it.

As soon as he opened it, Qin Feng saw some strange handwriting that looked like tree branches. Some of these handwritings looked like tree branches, some looked like bird droppings, and some were messy curves.

After taking a look, Qin Feng was completely bewildered, but the moment he closed the book, lines of text appeared in his mind.

"Chi You rebelled and disobeyed the Emperor's orders, so the Yellow Emperor summoned the feudal lords and fought Chi You in the fields of Zhuolu..."

Qin Feng opened the book again, and suddenly the lines of words that looked like tree branches came to life. They began to emerge as images and shadows, which Qin Feng could see clearly in an instant!

Qin Feng was overjoyed. This, this, this is actually real!

It's exactly as I predicted!

As descendants of Emperor Ku, who were extremely ruthless during the time of their great ancestor Yuan Futong, they were indeed able to decipher the ancient characters of the Heavenly Demon!

As Qin Feng continued to turn the pages, he could see every single word in the book clearly. He even discovered grammatical errors and inaccurate wording in some sentences!

It seems that this text was written by myself! I know it has grammatical errors!

The further Qin Feng read, the faster he flipped through the pages. Eventually, he could tell what the whole article was about just by glancing at the beginning!

The further Qin Feng read, the more he dared to speculate that Yuan Futong had discovered Chi You's legacy, but he might not have been able to understand it. In order to understand and learn it, Yuan Futong sought out descendants of Emperor Ku and the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors to study it together. Then, the ancestors of the Yellow Emperor and Emperor Ku created and wrote the ancient Heavenly Demon script for Yuan Futong, so that he could pass it down through his bloodline.

Qin Feng's actions were observed by the bookstore owner standing nearby. The owner couldn't help but say, "Young man, if you don't understand it, don't damage my book! This is a rare copy! Do you know that? If you damage it, you'll have to pay me a hundred yuan!"

Qin Feng quickly finished reading the entire book, but unfortunately, it did not record the art of forging mysterious weapons, but rather some historical materials.

So where can we obtain the technique for forging Chi You's mysterious weapons?

Qin Feng pretended to casually return the book, sighing, "I thought it was about the art of forging mystical weapons, but it's just some random stuff."

The bookstore owner, an elderly bear demon, glanced at Qin Feng. He had seen far too many pretentious, self-important young people like him.

The boss grinned and said, "Even if I gave you the art of forging mystical weapons, would you be able to understand it?"

Qin Feng asked, "Do you have one?"

The bear demon shook his head. "I don't have any, but I heard that the royal family of Hongmeng Abyss has them. As long as you can read, just go to the royal gate and shout, and someone will test you. If you answer correctly, you can learn those mystical weapon forging techniques at will! From then on, you'll enjoy endless wealth and glory!"

Qin Feng grinned, thinking to himself, "Just as I thought! The true power in this world is locked away at the pinnacle of worldly power, within the towers of prestigious and righteous sects!"

Selling yourself for a secret manual is undoubtedly a losing proposition.

The ultimate beneficiaries are those powerful demon kings! If a new power isn't under their control, then they might as well not have it!

Moreover, given Qin Feng's circumstances, if he really wanted to learn the Xuanbing Forging Technique, there was no need for him to sell himself to the Throne Demon!

Now that I am fortunate enough to know a noble demon like Tu Shanxue, I think it won't be a problem to obtain the technique of forging Xuan weapons from her in time.

If that's the case, why don't I use the diary function?

I have the power to make dreams come true!

If I want it to happen, and there's a chance it will happen, then it can happen.

Qin Feng simply opened a page of his diary and first looked at his ink. He hadn't used any ink since the last time in Dragon City, and now it had accumulated to a rare 3542 points!

"Weather unknown. It's been 125 days since I left Longcheng. My mood is so-so."

"Today I heard that a miraculous technique called the [Chi You Mystic Weapon Forging Technique] is circulating in the Immortal Realm. This technique can transform mechs and allow them to advance and upgrade! And I just happened to discover that I understand all the ancient Heavenly Demon characters!"

"What I lack now is the [Chi You Mystic Weapon Forging Technique]. If I can learn the [Chi You Mystic Weapon], then I will have mastered both the core classical mecha forging technique and the mystic weapon forging technique for upgrading mechas!"

"By combining the two techniques, I will definitely be able to create a new mecha style that is uniquely mine and surpasses the Ancient God style!"

"My mecha style is not just about imitation, but innovation. It's not about following or being on par with our predecessors. If we're going to do it, we have to surpass those ancient god mechas that were at their peak during the Zhou Dynasty."

Qin Feng finished writing in his diary and then pressed the submit button!

"Ink consumption: 3500! Confirm submission?"

As Qin Feng watched the ink being consumed, he inwardly screamed, "Are you kidding me? I've stored ink for over a hundred days! Is it all used up in one go?"

But now, Qin Feng has no choice. He is about to embark on a training expedition in the Demon Realm, and the [Wu De] is showing signs of not adapting well and needs to keep up with the technological advancements of the Demon Realm.

Qin Feng clicked "Confirm!"

"Submission successful! You have a connection with Tu Shanxue of Qingqiu. Your wish has been granted, and you will soon obtain the [Chi You Mystic Weapon Forging Technique]!"

Qin Feng watched as the submission was successful, and saw his ink count drop from 3542 to 42. He felt incredibly regretful, wondering when he would be able to accumulate enough ink again for the next wish.

Treasure Pavilion is a very prestigious and high-end express delivery station for valuables. The maids are all half-demons with tails, which shows how high-class it is.

"Hello sir, would you like to pick up a package?"

"Yes! Tu Shanxue!"

Please enter your password!

"Password correct! Your item has been retrieved. Please check it yourself. The storage fee for this transaction is 5,000 spirit stones."

Qin Feng received the package that Tu Shanxue had entrusted to him. He opened it and looked at it; it contained two very ordinary items.

A girl's usual handbag, and a book.

Judging from the bag's appearance, it was a spatial product with a password, but Qin Feng didn't look at it much. However, the book in Qin Feng's hand felt heavy. The cover was made of an animal hide that he had never seen before. Just by looking at the cover, he could tell that the book had gone through many years of ups and downs. The book was at least as thick as an enhanced edition of the Xinhua Dictionary, and the paper was very thin, almost transparent like a cicada's wing.

Qin Feng couldn't help but take a look, and in just one glance, he was stunned.

Above the pages, as thin as cicada wings, densely packed characters, resembling the branches of a tree, read: 【Chi You's Mystic Weapon Forging, Volume One】

Upon seeing this line of text, Qin Feng's heart rate suddenly jumped to 180!

I'll blanch it!

The wishing diary is incredibly effective!

The wish I made before I walked in has now come true!

Feeling the immense power of his cheat system, Qin Feng secretly resolved to collect more corpses and souls, take on more of the coroner's side job, and accumulate ink and attribute points.

True strength comes from being strong yourself!

Seeing that Qin Feng hadn't left yet, the snake-woman waitress approached him and asked, "Sir, are any items missing?"

"No." Qin Feng calmly put the items away. "Very complete. Your esteemed establishment truly keeps its word!"

The beautiful snake watched Qin Feng's retreating figure, wagged its tail boredly, and continued working.

After leaving the Treasure Pavilion, Qin Feng hurriedly went to an inn, rented a room, hung up a "Do Not Disturb" sign, and entered the [Imaginary Space]!

He had promised Tu Shanxue that he would pick her up in seven days. Seven days is 700 days in the [imaginary space], which is roughly four or five years for an ordinary person.

This is enough time for me to learn the first volume of [Chi You's Mystic Weapons], and even enough time for me to enhance my own mecha with mystic weapons!
