Chapter 401

The handsome old man said, "If we can obtain the complete natural runes on the mammoth beast's tusks, the quality and power of the Moon Blade can be increased by 10%. Unfortunately, the two tusks are not complete. Sigh, you say, the Earth Dragon is really something. Of all the things it could do, it just had to break the tusks."

Guo Shier said, "This is already very good. Even if the tusks of a level 15 mutated mammoth are broken, it is still a very rare material."

A Handsome Old Man laughed, "However, the Flame Rune … I have successfully replicated one. Although its power is 40% weaker than the original one, it can still retain 60% of its power. If there is a chance to replicate it a few more times, hehe, this natural Flame Rune can make you stand out from the masses. The power of the Crescent Blade will certainly be much stronger than the original one."

Natural Rune Blessing!

Guo Shier understood this. If the core of the talisman formation had a real rune blessing, the power of the talisman formation would be greatly increased. However, the blessing of a real rune was not that easy. He could not do it himself. Fortunately, there was A Handsome Old Man and the flame sacrificial treasure.

The Crescent Blade itself was one meter long. It was suspended between the two of them. The flame sacrificial treasure was suspended above the Crescent Blade. Thousands of strands of flames hung down and twined around the Crescent Blade. It looked very strange. Because under normal circumstances, flames should be running upwards, not flying downwards.

A Handsome Old Man laughed, "Once this Crescent Blade is successfully refined, it will be at least a second rank. If this old man is lucky, it would not be strange for him to make a third rank sacrificial treasure. Haha."

Guo Shier already knew that the first rank sacrificial treasure was the lowest. The higher the rank, the more powerful the sacrificial treasure would be. In theory, a first rank sacrificial treasure could not be compared to a second rank sacrificial treasure. Most of the professions on the first level of the altar used a first rank sacrificial treasure. Of course, there were many people who did not even have a first rank sacrificial treasure after advancing to the illusory altar. The reason why he could have a suitable sacrificial treasure was because of A Handsome Old Man's support.

A Handsome Old Man said, "Boy, remember, a suitable sacrificial treasure is a good one. Every altar master will have one or two sacrificial treasures …"

Guo Shier saw A Handsome Old Man take out a Spirit Pearl and asked, "What kind of spirit is it?"

A Handsome Old Man said, "Anyway, it is not a level 15 mutated Earth Dragon or Mammoth Beast. Those things are too high to be of use … This is the soul of a level 13 mutated Thunder Eagle. I looked around and found that it is the only thing that can be used. Unfortunately, its level is too low. If I had the soul of a level 10 mutated Thunder Dragon or a level 10 mutated Thunder Dragon, it would be."

"Guo Man" Guo Shier nodded. The handsome old man crushed the Soul Pearl with one hand, and a wisp of Soul Essence was immediately absorbed into the Moon Blade. The handsome old man continued, "Oh right, you don't seem to have the soul of a fire-attribute mutated rune beast … Hmm, that firebird, forget it, its level is too low, there's no need to use it."

Guo Shier was startled. He did not want to put the soul of the Ancient Flame Sparrow into the crescent blade.

The soul of the mutated Blood Dragon was crushed and absorbed into the Crescent Blade. "Ah, there is the soul of a level 10 mutated Blood Dragon. It can be replaced. It is also a fire dragon, but it is not pure enough …" Then he said irresponsibly, "Who cares, it is better than nothing." Guo Shier broke out in a cold sweat.

He crushed the soul of the mutated Blood Dragon and absorbed it into the Crescent Blade. "A Handsome Old Man said," A double attribute Crescent Blade. Hehe, it should be quite powerful. In the future, when I have better materials and souls, I will refine it again. "

Guo Shier smiled bitterly, "A Handsome Old Man, you haven't finished refining this artifact yet, but you are planning to refine it again?"

"Of course," A Handsome Old Man said proudly, "The sacrificial offerings used for the Crescent Blade are slightly lower. The quality may not be affected, but its power will be slightly reduced. In the future, when I hunt for as many good offerings as possible, I will refine it again. Then, I can greatly increase its power. The method I am using … is different."

The Crescent Blade had already turned crimson. There were tiny blue arcs dancing on it, making a slight screeching sound. Looking closely at the Crescent Blade, there were layers of flames rolling inside, as if there were countless fire clouds gathering. From time to time, there would be tiny lightning streaking across the blade.

"Every time I see the Crescent Blade … I think it is very beautiful," Guo Shier said.

"What?" A Handsome Old Man said, "What? Beautiful? The sacrificial artifact is not for looking, it is for killing. "

"Yes, it is for killing," Guo Shier said, "But it is still very beautiful."

A Handsome Old Man scolded, "I don't know what to say to you. You don't have the temperament of a professional at all. Country bumpkin! Country bumpkin! A native of the arcane realm! "

"Country bumpkin?" Guo Shier was stunned and muttered, "Country bumpkin? Country bumpkin? A native of the arcane realm … Damn, what kind of cursing is that … "

The two of them bickered non-stop. Most of the time, it was A Handsome Old Man cursing, and Guo Shier at most said a few words back. The two of them kept casting incantations. A Handsome Old Man would occasionally hit the Crescent Blade with virtual talismans, making a crisp clanking sound. Accompanying his cursing, it was quite rhythmic.

Guo Shier couldn't help but say, "A Handsome Old Man, sometimes you are very naggy!"

A Handsome Old Man said, "I like it. Why do you care?"

Guo Shier smiled bitterly and shook his head. He also knew A Handsome Old Man's personality. This guy either worked hard or scolded people. He seemed to enjoy this kind of life. Perhaps it was because he had been suppressed for too long. Whatever he was thinking, he would tell Guo Shier, never hiding his thoughts.

Nan You, Falconer and Luo Zhan would go out and wander around when they had nothing to do. Their work was very leisurely and they didn't need to manage anything. Their task was to prevent any disturbances and attacks from foreign Professionals. But very few Professionals came to the Desolate Stone Arcane Realm, so it was very easy. Other than rocks and soil, there weren't even any plants. Water was also extremely scarce, so any supplies had to be transported from outside.

On this day, Guo Shier finally succeeded in refining the Crescent Blade. He walked out of the talisman house. There were a few maids standing outside the door. They were all selected normal slaves. It was unknown which continent they came from. They were divided into groups and waited at the door, waiting for orders at any time.

Guo Shier walked out of the door and stretched, then said, "Bring me to see Nan You."

A maid that looked like a supervisor came forward and bowed, then respectfully led the way.

Nan You, Falconer, Luo Zhan and a young girl, the four of them were actually playing cards. Guo Shier had once refined a deck of cards out of boredom. He casually taught it to Falconer and Luo Zhan. He only played a few times before forgetting about it. He didn't expect the four of them to be playing cards in full swing.

Guo Shier had seen the young girl once before. She was Huo Yu from the Ancient Huo Clan, an expert that possessed an illusory altar. She wasn't young, but her appearance was that of a young girl.

The four of them didn't even notice that Guo Shier had come in. They were all arguing with flushed faces and ears. They were playing the simplest game of leveling up, but it was just a game for gambling. Guo Shier coldly watched from the side. He discovered that Nan You had lost, but this guy was acting shamelessly. His opponent was Huo Yu, and he was unhappy that he had lost money. The two of them were cursing at each other.

Falconer and Luo Zhan were smiling mischievously as they watched the commotion. It was obvious at a glance that these two unscrupulous fellows were bullying others. The two of them even added fuel to the fire from time to time.

Guo Shier really couldn't stand it anymore. He coughed and said, "Let's play cards."

Nan You saw Guo Shier and hurriedly pulled him and said, "My cards … they said they can kill me. What do you think?"

Guo Shier felt dizzy. He said, "Don't … the rules have to be made clear from the start. Otherwise, there will be disputes. Hey, do you even know how to play cards?" Looking at the messy cards in his hand, it was obvious that this guy was inexperienced. He didn't know how to play cards at all.

Falconer laughed and said, "Alright, let's pay up. Six hundred gold talismans per person. Cash … no credit!"

Huo Yu stood up and said, "Sir." She knew that Guo Shier was an expert with two levels of the Corporeal Sacrificial Altar, so she had to show some respect.

Guo Shier said, "It's fine. You guys continue. I'll watch." He waved his hand.

Luo Zhan said, "Pay up, pay up! Hehe. "

Guo Shier asked, "How much did you guys win?"

Luo Zhan said excitedly, "Not much, not much. We've played for three days and won about seventy thousand … Yes, seventy thousand gold talismans per person. Nan You, pay up quickly. You lost six hundred this round."

Guo Shier couldn't help but laugh. He said, "Alright, I'll teach everyone a new way to play. You can play with five people."

Nan You and Huo Yu said at the same time, "Alright!"

Falconer and Luo Zhan had bitter expressions on their faces. The two of them had nothing better to do, so they often played to level up. Furthermore, the two of them had all kinds of secret codes to cheat. If they played a new trick, everyone would be on the same starting line, and their advantage would be gone.

Guo Shier briefly taught them how to play the Golden Flower. After experimenting ten times, he asked, "Do you guys understand?"

The Golden Flower was very simple. They quickly understood how to play it. Nan You said, "Hey, I like this way. It's much better than leveling up."

Huo Yu laughed. "Oh, I want to win it back!"

Falconer and Luo Zhan rubbed their palms together. They realized that this way of playing was faster to win money.

Guo Shier snickered and began to deal the cards.

Nan You quickly won big, followed by Huo Yu's and Nan You's. After two hours, Falconer started to win money non-stop. Guo Shier was very casual. He kept losing, but not by a lot.

In just half a day's time, whether it was Nan You and Huo Yu, or Hawk Devil and Luo Zhan, all of their eyes had turned red from killing. Guo Shier suggested with a smile, "It's too small. It's boring."

Nan You immediately agreed. "Alright, let's play a little bigger. Who dares to?"

Professionals weren't even afraid of death. Would they be afraid of a little bigger? The answer was no. Hence, the stakes were multiplied by several times.

This time, it was Nan You who dealt the cards. Soon, everyone realized that Guo Shier started to win money non-stop. He could win tens of thousands of talismans in a single round. Moreover, he was winning big.

In just a few hours, Falconer and Luo Zhan had lost so much that their faces were ashen. Nan You kept withdrawing money from his talisman pouch. Huo Yu had already asked her subordinates to withdraw money three times.

After a day, Falconer was the first to surrender. He said, "I'm out of money …"

Luo Zhan said, "I'm almost out of money too …"

Nan You laughed bitterly. "Damn it. Why do I keep losing?"

Guo Shier chuckled. "It's a matter of your character."

Huo Yu was exasperated. "Again! I don't believe that this piece of Black Exquisite Wood is worth much! "

Guo Shier couldn't help but be stunned. Black Exquisite Wood was very precious and hard to come by. He said, "It's not easy to estimate. How much do you want?"

Huo Yu said, "Two hundred thousand gold talismans!" This wasn't a high price. She then asked, "Who wants it?"

Nan You spread his hands. "I want it, but I don't have that much money anymore."

Falconer and Luo Zhan also said, "We've lost everything."

Guo Shier asked, "You really want to sell it?"

Huo Yu threw the Black Exquisite Wood to Guo Shier. "Of course. Two hundred thousand, and the Black Exquisite Wood is yours."

Guo Shier threw her a talisman pouch with two hundred thousand gold talismans in it. He didn't care about the gold talismans at all. He felt that it was a great deal to be able to exchange two hundred thousand gold talismans for a piece of Black Exquisite Wood. It was no wonder that many people in his previous life gambled until they went bankrupt. This thing was indeed exciting, even for professionals.

Nan You took out a talisman pouch and said, "I still have a hundred thousand gold talismans in it. I can definitely win it back!"

Guo Shier threw a talisman pouch to Falconer and Luo Zhan and said with a smile, "Here's two hundred thousand gold talismans in it. Continue."

Huo Yu said bitterly, "Why didn't you give me some money …" She immediately realized that she had misspoken. She blushed and said, "Hurry up and shuffle the cards. I want to win it back." No one found it strange that she called herself an old lady, because she was indeed an old lady. She wasn't like Zhou Xiaoling. It was strange for a young lady to call herself an old lady.

A day later, Guo Shier stood up and said with a smile, "Alright, I'm done playing."

Nan You shouted, "Hey, Shier, you can't go!"

Huo Yu said, "Wait for me to go back and exchange the money …"
