"The weapons in this world are divided into four levels. As I said before, most of the weapons in the world are of the lowest level. Even those legendary magical weapons that can cut off hair and cut iron like mud in Jianghu can only be regarded as the best of the lowest level. They are just ordinary weapons and cannot bear the infusion of powerful natural qi, so they can only be regarded as ordinary weapons. Above the ordinary weapons are the spiritual treasures, which are not only able to cut off hair and cut iron like mud in Jianghu, but also have strong tenacity and the ability to conduct natural qi, which can bear the infusion of natural qi from invincible experts in the Natural Realm and increase the power by about two times. Above the spiritual treasures are the Taoist treasures, which can be said to be the weapons of gods and devils, the ultimate weapons in the world, and it is said that they have their own consciousness and intelligence …"
When talking about the Spiritual-level weapons, Liu Chong's face was full of yearning.
The Spiritual-level weapons were extremely rare. Once they recognized a master, even an ordinary warrior in the Joint-qi level or the Joint-thoughts level could kill a Natural Expert with it. Generally speaking, weapons at this level could guarantee the fate of a clan. In the world, only the top nine Holy Clans, the three empires, the super tribes of the pasture, some large tribes in the mountains and lakes in the extreme south, and some Holy Lands of the demon tribes with a long history owned the Spiritual-level weapons, but they would not use them easily.
If he had a Spiritual-level weapon in his hand, he would be able to fight against Li Mu, and he would not become a prisoner.
Of course, that was just an extravagant hope, and he was just thinking about it.
After hearing what he said, Li Mu had a general idea.
That was very scientific.
His Samsara Knife could be regarded as a Spiritual-level weapon, but it was still far from a Spiritual-level weapon or a Spiritual-level weapon.
But the Magic Moon Shoot was quite amazing. Li Mu wondered what its level was.
"For example, the Sky-stabilizing Bow of the Guanshan Pasture is a Spiritual-level weapon. The Dragon-controlling Pole of the royal family of the Western Qin is also said to be a Spiritual-level weapon. And the other Holy Clans and empires all have Spiritual-level weapons. The two factors of the Spiritual-level weapon and the Sage are the only criteria to determine whether a force can become a first-class force in the world. "
Liu Chong added.
Li Mu glanced at him.
Tsk, I still need you to help me analyze this.
"Can Star Stones only be used to refine weapons of the Spiritual-level?" He asked. That was what Liu Chong had said before.
Liu Chong hastily explained, "It can refine weapons above the level of Spiritual Treasure. Of course, if you want to refine magic weapons and Taoist Treasures, you will need not only a large number of Star Stones, but also a very high level of Star Stones. Generally speaking, they are hard to come by. Otherwise, the number of magic weapons and Taoist Treasures will not be so small."
Li Mu asked thoughtfully, "Then how do we judge the grade of the Star Stone?"
"It's probably through weight, colour, hardness, texture and so on. However, I'm neither a Star Array Warlock nor an Alchemist, so I don't know much about it." Liu Chong told Li Mu everything he knew and behaved himself. He was afraid that Li Mu might chop him up in a fit of anger.
"Then, what's the grade of these Star Stones?" Li Mu asked as if he was playing with an iron ball. He put the smoky black Star Stones in his hand and stopped playing with them.
Liu Chong put on a pained look and said, "They are probably semi-finished products, so they can only be regarded as Primordial Stones. The amount of extraterrestrial divine iron in them is limited. If you want to know the specifics, you have to open them. Then, you can see it at a glance. These four Star Stones are what I got by practicing stone-gambling."
"Stone-gambling?"
"Another f * cking new term?"
Li Mu asked a series of questions.
Soon, with Liu Chong's explanation, Li Mu figured it out.
It turned out that the Star Stones were just like the Primordial Jade Stones on Earth. Few people could judge their real value by their appearance. Only real Star Array Warlocks and Alchemists could uncover the Primordial Stones with professional techniques to find out whether there was extraterrestrial divine iron in them, as well as the type and quantity of the extraterrestrial divine iron. Therefore, in this world, the industry of stone-gambling was born, just like the Primordial Jade Stones on Earth.
Li Mu's interest was aroused.
"This is interesting."
According to Liu Chong, since the Star Stones came from outer space, they were in a special place. Even the experts at the peak of the Celestial Being Realm could not see through their internal structure with their spiritual force. It was even rumored that even the Sages could not see through the Primordial Stones of the Star Stones that contained Immortal Gold.
"I wonder if my Third Eye can see through this Primordial Stone?"
Li Mu pondered.
But he did not intend to show it to Liu Chong.
"Stay here."
With a wave of Li Mu's hand, Liu Chong was taken away.
Li Mu scanned the Primordial Stone with his Third Eye. At first, he could not see through the surface of the black Primordial Stone. But when Li Mu concentrated his spiritual force and drove the Third Eye with all his might, he gradually sensed that the black skin on the surface began to disappear. Then, he saw that under the black, smoky stone membrane, there was a cluster of strange black metal about the size of a finger. Specks of light were twinkling like needles, as if it was a universe with countless stars.
"Well, according to Liu Chong, there is an extraterrestrial metal in this Primordial Stone, so it is not a waste stone. But what kind of immortal gold is that strange black metal the size of a fingernail?"
Li Mu was very curious.
But in such a fist-sized Primordial Stone, there was only an extraterrestrial metal the size of a fingernail. That content was really low.
Demon King Li had developed a strong interest in the Star Stones.
He himself knew the art of refining and casting instruments. Half of it was from the old faker, and the other half was from the ancient books on casting instruments in this world. He had forged this path by himself. The Samsara Knife was a semi-finished product that had been constantly perfected. Therefore, the more Star Stones that could be used to forge weapons above the Spiritual-treasure level, the better.
But of course, Li Mu did not intend to develop into a master of refining instruments, nor did he want to refine weapons for others. He just wanted to forge the Samsara Knife into a weapon that he could really use. It was just that Li Mu's standard of "being used" was a little higher than that of others.
In the end, Liu Chong's Cultivation Method was abolished, and he was driven out of Taibai County together with Huang Wenyuan's other servants, maids, and guards.
Li Mu spared them and did not kill them.
Outside Taibai County, on the winding mountain road, Liu Chong was in a daze. He no longer looked like an immortal. Having lost his natural qi, he only had the cultivation of the Great Master Realm. He looked especially old and weak. Full of resentment, he shot a look of awe at Taibai County in the distance, his heart filled with anger and hesitation.
"Go back to the Holy Clan and find Head Huang. I can't let this debt go so easily."
He made up his mind and left those guards behind. Then, he rode the white crane and soared into the sky.
The guards and servants looked at each other in dismay. In the end, they had no choice but to go back along the mountain road.
Taibai County was located in a remote area deep in the mountains. It would take them five or six days to get out on foot. They felt like weeping but had no tears.
…
To Li Mu's surprise, Zheng Cunjian, who had just gone back, came back in a hurry.
"Young Master, you really killed Huang Wenyuan. You're in big trouble this time." Zheng Cunjian looked panic-stricken. He could not understand Li Mu's choice. Killing the second prince was not a big deal because there were forces in the imperial court that opposed the second prince. That could buy Li Mu some time. But the case of Huang Wenyuan was different. His grandfather, Huang Shengyi, was a ruthless figure who was extremely protective of his own people.
Zheng Cunjian could not understand why Li Mu would provoke so many big shots again and again and make so many enemies for himself.
"Whoa, don't babble in front of me with such boring lines." Li Mu yawned impatiently and said, "You're in such a hurry to get to Taibai County. Is it because the scumbag magistrate has sensed something and sent you to inquire about it?"
Zheng Cunjian's face stiffened. He knew Li Mu was right.
With a faint smile, Li Mu said, "On your way here, you must have met Huang Wenyuan's guards and others. Don't you know what happened in the county?"
Zheng Cunjian hurriedly answered, "I dare not hide it from Young Master. I did. I also know what happened in the county. "
"Since you know, why are you so panic-stricken?" Li Mu asked.
"But, but …" Zheng Cunjian stammered but did not know what to say. After all, it was the Guanshan Pasture that he had provoked this time. In the martial arts world, the Guanshan Pasture was even more terrifying.
"No buts." Li Mu directly cut him off. Then, he changed the topic and asked, "Do you know about Star Stones?"
Zheng Cunjian was stunned. He did not know why Li Mu suddenly asked that question. After thinking for a while, he answered, "I know a little, but only a little. I haven't studied it specifically, so I don't know much about it."
Given his strength and status, he rarely came into contact with Star Stones. But the title of Heartless Scholar still carried some weight. Since he was knowledgeable and had read relevant books, he knew something about it.
Li Mu nodded and said, "You're just worried that if I'm killed by the Guanshan Pasture, no one can remove the Life-and-Death Spell in your body. So, you still came to Taibai County on the premise that you've learned the cause and effect of the matter from Huang Wenyuan's guards … Well, don't say I didn't give you a chance. How about this? You go to collect all the relevant information about the source, type, method of cutting, type of extraterrestrial metal, and refining method of Star Stones and send them back to me. Then, I'll remove the Life-and-Death Spell in your body and you'll be free."
Upon hearing that, Zheng Cunjian was overjoyed. He said, "Young Master, rest assured. I'll collect all the information you need within five days."
Li Mu put on an indifferent look and said lazily, "Anyway, do as you see fit. I'm afraid the news of Huang Wenyuan's death will soon reach the Guanshan Pasture. When that Deputy Head Huang gets the news, he will definitely come here with a thunderous rage. If I want to remove the Life-and-Death Spell in your body, I'd better get everything I need before he comes to Taibai County. Otherwise, if I'm killed by that Deputy Head Huang, well, no one in this world can remove the spell in your body for you."
Zheng Cunjian's heart skipped a beat. He said, "Young Master, don't worry. I know."
What he had been thinking about day and night was how to remove the Life-and-Death Spell in his body. Back then, he had experienced the pain of that spell, which was worse than death. He could not even beg for death. These days, the spell would occasionally act up. Although the time was short, it was enough to make him terrified. However, he did not dare to ask Li Mu to remove it for him.
But now, Li Mu finally took the initiative to ask.
Given Li Mu's temperament, as long as he asked, Zheng Cunjian would not lie to him.
Zheng Cunjian was quite sure of that.
"Don't thank me. As long as I'm satisfied, it's a deal." This is an exchange. "Li Mu said," Well, you can go now. Hurry up. "
Zheng Cunjian bowed and excused himself. After taking a step forward, he said hesitantly, "About His Lordship …"
Li Mu said directly, "Tell me the truth."
"I see." He turned around and walked out of the room.
At that moment, Li Mu seemed to have remembered something. He patted his forehead and said, "Crap, I forgot about that."
Zheng Cunjian was startled and stopped.
-----
As of yesterday, he had finished the eight chapters he had promised. So, he decided to go to bed early and take a rest. Tomorrow, he would finish the three chapters.
If he wrote too fast, the plot would be a little fuzzy. Besides, he had not been sleeping well these days, so his eyes hurt a little.
