Black Crow Mountain.
Located in the northwest corner of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it was vast and filled with beasts.
There were many crows in the forests and most of them were sentient. In fact, there were even black crow demons that had cultivated supreme Dharmic powers that ruled over a region with terrifying strength.
It was said that there was once a Perfected Being Jin Dan who entered the depths of Black Crow Mountain but never returned.
A few years ago, a middle-aged man came to Black Raven Mountain. His dark green eyes emitted a strange light. He walked into the depths of Black Raven Mountain without looking back.
From that day onwards, the crows of Black Crow Mountain turned unusually ferocious with bloodshot eyes.
The skies of Black Crow Mountain were shrouded in a blood mist all year round!
In the depths of the dense forest, a grand hall known as Blood Crow Palace rose from the ground.
In a few short years, all the sects in the vicinity of Black Crow Mountain had submitted to Blood Crow Palace.
This day, a pale-faced young man with dark green eyes arrived outside Blood Crow Palace. He was at perfected Foundation Establishment and knelt on one knee, cupping his fists. "Master, a year ago, my blood slave was killed outside Linfeng City. We've already found out who the murderer is."
"His name is Su Zimo and he's an inner sect disciple of Misty Peak."
The blood mist spread through the forest and Blood Crow Palace was like an ancient fiend demon sitting on the spot. It was faintly discernible and sinister, emitting a cold aura.
After the young cultivator said those two sentences, Blood Crow Palace fell silent without a single sound.
As though he was used to it, the young cultivator continued, "In this battle, Blood Crow Palace lost a middle-grade spirit mine and lost more than 30 Foundation Establishment Cultivators. Even though they were all outer disciples, it's still an unprecedented setback."
"I've heard that the seal of Misty Peak's spirit pool is about to be unsealed. At that time, Misty Peak will definitely arrange for their perfected Foundation Establishment disciples to be cleansed by the spirit pool."
"I intend to lead my men there and take them all down in one fell swoop. At the same time, I'll take in all the legacy disciples of Misty Peak as my blood slaves."
A long time later, a voice sounded from Blood Crow Palace.
"Yes … be careful and bring more men with you."
The young cultivator lowered his head. "Don't worry, master."
"Let Yu Fei and Peng Yue accompany you."
After a brief pause, the voice from Blood Crow Palace sounded once more.
The young cultivator was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Master!"
"Mm … Once this matter is settled, come back and cultivate in seclusion. Three years later, the Primordial Battlefield will open. Only then will you find your true opponent."
After saying this, the Blood Crow Palace fell silent once more.
Not long after, two people walked out from inside. They wore black Taoist robes and were expressionless. Occasionally, a green light flashed across their eyes.
"Yu Fei and Peng Yue greet the Young Lord!"
The two of them walked up to the young cultivator, knelt down on one knee, and shouted in unison.
The young cultivator nodded in satisfaction.
The two people in front of him were Zhenren Jin Dan. They were also his master's blood slaves.
Master's standards were extremely high. Anyone who could be taken in as a blood slave by Master was not simple.
His master had single-handedly created the Blood Crow Palace and was the Palace Lord of the Blood Crow Palace.
With that identity, even though he was only a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, his status in Blood Crow Palace was extremely high – he was the young master of Blood Crow Palace!
"Misty Peak, Su Zimo … Hahahaha."
…
Misty Peak.
Ever since Su Zimo's return, he had not been idle at all.
When Little Fatty, Xue Yi and some other Weapon Peak disciples came to visit, there was naturally no lack of drinks.
During this period of time, Leng Rou came by as well and chatted with Su Zimo for a while before leaving.
When Xue Yi and the others saw that, they naturally kicked up a fuss.
In the sect, the only person who could get Leng Rou to visit personally was Su Zimo.
Previously, Leng Rou even gave Su Zimo two talismans.
Those two talismans had always been in his storage bag and Su Zimo had not used them yet.
Although the favor was neither big nor small, the other party had indeed spent a lot of effort on it.
Su Zimo wanted to refine a middle-grade or superior-grade spirit weapon and return it to Leng Rou after he gained some enlightenment in the art of weapon refinement.
On the second day after Su Zimo returned to the sect, the disheveled old man came looking for him before he could even visit him.
"Brat, where have you been for the past three months? You didn't even reply to my messages!"
When the disheveled old man caught sight of Su Zimo, he scolded him to his face.
Su Zimo replied half-truthfully, "I went home for a while."
"Yes."
When he heard that, the disheveled old man's expression softened as he nodded.
"Cough."
The disheveled old man coughed gently and slapped his storage bag. An ancient book appeared in his palm as he said indifferently, "Take it. It's an ancient tempering book."
True enough.
As Su Zimo had expected, the disheveled old man had indeed bid for the ancient book at the Sky Treasure Auction House for him!
"The person who wrote this ancient book was called Xu Zhan. He was an Advanced Weapon Refinement Master from a thousand years ago. At his peak, he refined dozens of supreme-grade spirit weapons and it's said that he even refined a perfect spirit weapon. "
"Even though there's no image of him refining weapons, study this ancient book well. Given your comprehension of weapon refinement, it won't be a problem for you to refine middle-grade or even superior-grade spirit weapons in the future."
The disheveled old man was extremely confident in Su Zimo.
Su Zimo had long known about the origin of the ancient tempering book. However, if he appeared too calm, he would definitely arouse the disheveled old man's suspicions.
Su Zimo had no choice but to pretend to be surprised and asked, "Master, this ancient book must have cost quite a bit of spirit stones, right?"
"Yes, it's alright."
The disheveled old man nodded and said indifferently, "Back then, the competition for this book was extremely intense. Initially, I wouldn't have been able to bid for it. In the end, I bumped into an old friend …"
At that point, the disheveled old man purposely kept Su Zimo in suspense before saying slowly, "Heh! My friend has a huge background and he gave it to me on the spot without a second word! "
Even though the disheveled old man was trying his best to suppress it, his eyes were filled with glee.
"Zimo, let me tell you, back then … pfft, the entire auction house was completely silent. Even if others had spirit stones, they couldn't use them. However, my friend wanted to give it to me and no one could stop him! "
"Those people are just staring at me. They are so envious of me."
Su Zimo could not help but lower his head when he heard the disheveled old man's bragging, almost bursting out in laughter.
"Zimo, what's wrong? You don't believe me?" Noticing Su Zimo's abnormality, the disheveled old man raised his brow.
"Nothing."
Su Zimo waved it off hurriedly.
"Cough, cough … alright, let's not talk about it anymore. Cultivate well."
The disheveled old man seemed to have realized that he had gone overboard and said something else before turning to leave.
In reality, Su Zimo's future achievements would not be too high if he only had this ancient tempering book without the advanced weapon refinement image.
However, in the cave abode beneath the cold lake, Hokkaidōjin had once demonstrated the entire weapon refinement process for Su Zimo.
That was a perfect and flawless weapon refinement!
Coupled with the ancient tempering book in his hands and Su Zimo's own spirit gathering technique, he was confident that he could refine a supreme-grade spirit weapon!
It was not something that could only be refined occasionally depending on the condition.
It was a 100% success rate!
