Starlight poured down, and the night breeze was cold.
On the small island in the middle of the river, Yu Mu had built a bonfire. A few human-long, fat fishes were grilled on the bonfire, letting out a sizzling noise. Three-inch thick fish oil turned into clear fat, dripping down, making the bonfire burn even brighter. A nice aroma spread out in the air.
With an indescribable sense of holiness and majesty, Yu Mu carefully smeared the grilled fishes with his own secret sauce.
Man Man was like a cat, leaning against the bonfire with her eyes popped out, staring at the nicely aromatic grilled fishes without even blinking her eyes. From time to time, she reached her hand out, attempting to grab a piece of fish, but every time Yu Mu threw a glance at her, she would obediently take her hand back.
In terms of delicious food, Man Man trusted Yu Mu's cooking. If Yu Mu said that a piece of meat was grilled and ready to eat, it would definitely be delicious. But if he said that she couldn't do it now, he had to wait for a while, because if she was impatient, the taste wouldn't be good.
Ji Hao sat far away from the bonfire, while Yu Yu sat right in front of him. Yu Yu's five fingers let out twisted streams of Chaos purple mist, as he lightly clenched his fingers on Ji Hao's body. Following his move, the Yan spear, the Gold Crow armour and the fiery feather boots, which Ji Hao had brought from the Gold Crow Clan, flew out of his body simultaneously.
The three top-grade Divine-Magus-level magic treasures let out deep and resonant buzzing sounds, slightly shaking in the Chaos purple mist. Yu Yu narrowed his eyes. The scenes of the prehistorical world being destroyed, the natural disasters, the natural disasters, the natural disasters, and the natural disasters flashed across his eyes, then he smilingly shook his head.
"Ji Hao, you're already my disciple. I, your Shifu, will explain some things to you in detail."
"Magi originated from the humankind. Back in the ancient time, the humankind was weak, wild beasts were rampant, all kinds of diseases were rampant, mosquito bites, flood and fierce beasts could easily kill human beings. Magi rose among the humankind, fought against the world, and fought for a place of survival for the humankind. "
"The original enemies of Magi were this world, the beasts, the floods, the fires, the diseases, the poisonous bugs. So, shamans placed great importance on 'strength.' At the beginning, shamans pursued the most tyrannical and primitive strength. They used peerless strength to split open mountains, split open the ground, kill ferocious beasts, drive away ferocious birds, change the course of rivers, flatten mountains, and open up fertile land for the human race to survive. "
"So … it's not that I'm underestimating the ancestors of the Shamans, but they're not that useful here!"
Yu Yu pointed at his own head with a complicated look, then seriously said to Ji Hao, "You have cultivated your primordial spirit, you should have realized that you are different from our clansmen. You're a special case. The other shamans only care about the physical body, the inheritance of bloodline power, and the nurturing of shaman power. "
"Therefore, although the magic tools and treasures crafted by Magi are heavy, simple and unadorned, and possess great lethality, they are still lacking in variety."
Ji Hao nodded, then pointed at the spear, the Gold Crow armour and the fiery feather boots, gave a bitter smile and said, "Shifu, you're right. These three treasures are all supreme treasures inherited from the ancestors of the Gold Crow Clan. They are treasures of our Ji Family, and have been nourished by generations of our ancestors with their own spirit blood. But now, even if I use all my strength, I can only mobilize them for a single breath of time. "
Yu Yu gave a bland smile and said, "That's the problem with the crafting of the magic tool. It's true that those ancestors of yours weren't easy to use. "
Pointing at his own head again, Yu Yu twisted his mouth and snorted coldly, "They only knew how to use the best materials and the hottest flames to mix the strongest and heaviest materials together, then use the materials that were born with a slight bit of spiritual power as the cores, such as the bones of Gold Crows, the horns of dragons, the scales of dragons, the feathers of phoenixes, the crowns of phoenixes and so on. After mixing all these extremely powerful materials together, they would add their most powerful and most powerful magic curses!"
Flicking the Yan spear, Yu Yu let out a weird laugh and said, "This is how those ancient, most powerful Divine Magi and Supreme Magi were crafting magic treasures. They believed that by mixing the most powerful materials and the most powerful magic curses together, then nourishing them with the spirit blood of the most powerful Magi, generation after generation, they would be able to create the most powerful magic treasures. "
Ji Hao looked at Yu Yu, grinned embarrassedly and said, "It seems that there's nothing wrong with this way of thinking."
Yu Yu buried his face in his hands, raised his head and sighed, then said, "What a waste! So many times, at least a hundred times! If my big brother didn't stop me, I would have robbed your human ancestors a thousand times! A thousand times! Look at all those materials they wasted … "
Ji Hao's face turned purely dark. Yu Yu had almost robbed the ancestors of the humankind?
Gnashing his teeth, Yu Yu gripped the Yan spear with both of his hands and flicked his fingers. Along with a series of Gold Crow caws, the Yan spear suddenly expanded into a three zhang thick, nine zhang long, and entirely fiery red, gigantic spear.
"This is the original look of this spear of yours!" Yu Yu's face was as dark as ink, as if countless bolts of lightning were brewing under his skin, and said, "What a great deal! Ninety-nine ancient Gold Crows' skeletons were used to make this crappy spear?"
Ji Hao laughed embarrassedly once again, but his heart had started beating intensely. Ninety-nine ancient Gold Crows' skeletons were used in this Yan spear? This was tens of times more than what the Gold Crow Clan's elders had told them about!
This was indeed a bit wasteful!
"If I, your Shifu, had used ninety-nine ancient Gold Crows' skeletons, I would have been able to make three-hundred and sixty treasures that would be ten times more powerful than this crappy spear!" Yu Yu snorted coldly and continued, "Look at this thing made by your ancestor. He could use it freely, but I'm afraid that not many of his descendants could truly use this spear to fight."
Ji Hao's face turned even darker, and he embarrassedly lowered his head.
Wasn't that right? This Yan spear could drain all of his power within the span of one breath, and he couldn't use this spear to fight.
"Making treasures is not as simple as adding materials." Yu Yu sighed blandly and said, "These years, I have collected some treasures produced by the Magi Palace. Compared with their ancestors … hehe, they are indeed walking the same path! "
Ji Hao raised his head in shock and asked, "Shifu, what do you think about the current way of making treasures in the Magi Palace?"
Yu Yu looked at Ji Hao and responded with an embarrassed tone, "Our ancestors have already walked the wrong path. Now, these little bastards of the Magi Palace are all trying their best to learn from those non-humankind beings, and are only trying their best to add all kinds of spell symbols and secret magics on materials … The only thing that they have improved slightly is that they don't waste as much materials as before."
Letting out a long sigh, Yu Yu took out a wine calabash and slowly took a sip of the 'good wine' that was mixed with the river water.
"Making treasures is not as simple as this. Ji Hao, making treasures is not only about 'making things', it is about 'creating things', it is about 'turning something rotten into something magical', 'turning the after-world into the pre-world', 'turning the impossible into the possible'. The pinnacle of treasure-making is to make a sky-opening divine tool out of a piece of cow dung, that is what it means to be a treasure-making tool. "
Ji Hao stared at Yu Yu in shock. Making a sky-opening divine tool out of cow dung? Somehow, it sounded quite reasonable!
"Shifu, have you reached such a level?"
