"If it is a supreme level Soul Protection Dan, even if the soul is dying, it will be greatly nourished! It is almost as effective as the Holy Stone of Consolidating Soul. "Mo Yuan explained.
"That's right. However, no one in the Hall of Weapon Crafting can make such a dan … Do you have it?" Xu Chong looked at Ye Mo with confusion.
"Soul Protection Dan?" Su Yin frowned.
"It is a level eight dan. It is very effective for the soul!" Mo Yuan bowed to the ground. "If Little Martial Uncle can help refine it and save Junior Brother, I, Mo Yuan, will definitely follow Little Martial Uncle's orders from now on …"
Sun Zhao's eyes turned red and he clenched his fists.
Cultivators wanted to go against the heavens and change their fate. Wasn't that what they wanted? His brother was selling his life to Ye Mo. Even a peerless cultivator wouldn't do that.
"Well …" Su Yin didn't care about the feelings between the two of them. He shook his head and said, "If I can save someone by making a dan, I don't care. The problem is … I don't have any materials or recipes. How can I make it?"
He didn't have any spiritual energy to make a dan. If he could make one, it wouldn't be too much.
"Mo Yuan, what do you mean? [Could it be … Young Master can make supreme dan beads?] His pill forging skills are more formidable than yours? "Hearing the conversation between the two, Xu Chong widened his eyes in disbelief.
"Heh, heh. How can I be better than you!" Mo Yuan hurriedly explained.
"Well …" Xu Chong looked at him.
He knew that Mo Yuan's pill forging skills were in no way inferior to the elders of the Apothecary Hall. For such an expert to say such words, could it be that his Little Senior Uncle's pill forging skills were unparalleled on top of his cultivation and pill forging skills?
"Don't listen to his nonsense. I have only made two dan beads. I heard from Xiaomo that I have reached supreme level. I don't know the details. After all, I am new to this profession. I am not even an apprentice …"
Su Yin explained when he saw the confusion in Xu Chong's eyes.
"Cough, cough …"
Hearing this, Mo Yuan almost choked on his saliva.
If you call yourself a newbie, then what are we?
Xu Chong widened his eyes and looked at Mo Yuan carefully. Seeing that he did not deny it, he swallowed his saliva and said, "I have the formula for the Spirit Protection Pill here. If Junior Master succeeds, the Weapon Refinement Hall is willing to buy it at the price of five superior-grade spirit weapons …"
Naturally, the most valuable thing that the Forging Hall could offer was weapons, and he had already gotten used to it. Halfway through his words, he suddenly recalled that the other party was able to forge a Perfect weapon with ease, and he even thought that it was a defective one … So, how could he possibly care about five Superior weapons?
He hurriedly corrected himself, "Er … I can pay any price!"
Su Yin said, "Let me take a look at the pill recipe first!"
His cultivation was still insufficient for him to forge a grade-8 pill, but he could still instruct others to do the same as before. The prerequisite was that they had to know what the pill formula was and how the medicinal properties were matched.
If he couldn't even melt the medicinal herbs, then forget it...
"It's here …" After searching for a moment, Xu Chong passed a sheepskin scroll over.
In order to allow Senior Li to live longer, the Apothecary Hall had tried to look for the Spirit Protection Pill, and that was where they found the pill formula. However, even a grandmaster-grade pill wouldn't be of much use, needless to say, a Normal one.
Su Yin unfurled the sheepskin scroll, and the contents immediately appeared before his eyes. It included medicinal herbs, pill forging steps, and pill forging methods.
"These medicinal herbs are even rarer than the medicinal herbs for the Black Heaven Mending Pill …" Mo Yuan scanned through the contents.
It had taken the Great Yan royalty many years to gather the medicinal herbs for the Black Heaven Mending Pill. If these medicinal herbs were even rarer, it would be impossible for them to forge the Black Heaven Mending Pill within a short period of time.
"Indeed. For example, the Soul Spirit Grass and Soul Strengthening Wood grow in unique environments, and the conditions for them to survive are extremely strict. However, our Weapon Refinement Hall has been searching for quite a few over the years, and I do have a few here …"
Xu Chong flicked his wrist, and a huge pile of medicinal herbs appeared on the table. There were dozens of them.
Even though they were unable to find the Spirit Strengthening Immortal Stone, they had accumulated quite a few medicinal herbs for stabilizing one's soul over the past century, and it just so happened that there were quite a few medicinal herbs required for the Spirit Protection Pill.
"Only two medicinal herbs are missing?"
Mo Yuan glanced at the pile of medicinal herbs.
"Lightning Strike Wood and Fiery Stone!" Xu Chong said. "Lightning Strike Wood is the core of a tree that has been struck by lightning, and it is even rarer than the Soul Spirit Grass. As for the Fiery Stone, it is a lava rock that has been tempered by truefire. It usually only appears when a volcano erupts, so it is even rarer. In the ten thousand years of the Great Yan Prefecture, there have been less than ten of them …"
"Indeed!"
Mo Yuan sighed.
The higher the tier of the pill, the more valuable the medicinal herbs required. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so rare.
After confirming what medicinal herbs the two medicinal herbs were, Su Yin looked at Xu Chong doubtfully and asked, "Since the Lightning Strike Wood you speak of is difficult to form, is it possible to find a demonic beast that specializes in lightning to strike it? The Violet Golden Eagle seems to specialize in lightning, right? "
While there were many lightning bolts in the world, it was extremely rare for lightning to strike a tree, let alone the core of a tree.
Naturally occurring lightning bolts were difficult to find, but what about man-made lightning bolts?
There should be quite a few demonic beasts that specialized in lightning.
"The Violet Golden Eagle?"
Sun Zhao interjected, "Its comprehension of lightning is too weak. Even if it were to strike a tree, the results would be poor. If the strength it released could increase by ten times in a short period of time, there might be a chance …"
Having raised this fellow since it was young, Zhang Xuan knew too much about it.
It was only a Divinity realm cultivator. Even if it had some comprehension of lightning, it was still far from comparable to lightning.
"Ten times?"
Su Yin frowned.
It seemed like … the tortoise specialized in lightning as well, and it was much more powerful than the Violet Golden Eagle. He wondered if it was ten times stronger. Also, didn't the parrot say that it had comprehended truefire? Would it have the same effect if he were to ask it to burn a lava rock?
With this in mind, Zhang Xuan said, "Little Mo, make a trip to the Hidden Immortal Residence and bring my pets, the parrot and the old tortoise, here! Also, find some Tree Heart and Lava Rock! "
It wasn't easy to find Lightning Strike Wood Heart and Lava Rock, but there should be a lot of them.
"Yes!" Mo Yuan nodded his head in agreement. Then, he quickly drove the flying ship over.
Soon, a bird and a tortoise were brought over.
"This …" Xu Chong and the other Zongshi realm masters glanced at one another in bewilderment.
The parrot and the old tortoise did not have the slightest tinge of demonic energy, and they looked extremely ordinary. What was the purpose of bringing them over?
"I only found Tree Heart, but I didn't manage to find any Lava Rock …" Mo Yuan said as he walked over.
"I have a piece of it here …"
Xu Chong flicked his wrist, and a rock appeared before him. Its shape was a little peculiar, and its surface was slightly reddish. With just a look, it was clear that it had been burned by lava.
"That's great!"
Su Yin explained with a smile. "The tortoise that I'm raising has comprehended some lightning energy, so I was wondering if I could have it try to create the Lightning Strike Wood!"
"It?"
Xu Chong was taken aback for a moment before a bitter smile appeared on his face. "The Lightning Strike Wood requires an immense amount of lightning energy, and it's difficult for demonic beasts to produce it … If it were that simple, this medicinal herb wouldn't be so rare!"
The other four Zongshi realm experts were also rendered speechless.
Just this tortoise?
What kind of joke was this? She looked so adorable and silly!
If it could really create the Lightning Strike Wood, I'll gouge my eyeballs out!
"Since we can't find it anyway, there's no harm in giving it a try!" Su Yin said.
He had never seen the tortoise execute lightning energy before, but after treating The Great Demon and the Violet Golden Eagle, he could tell that the lightning energy it possessed was on par with that of the Lightning Strike Wood.
Perhaps, it might really work.
Seeing that Zhang Xuan was insistent, the crowd fell silent.
As long as you're happy, it's fine.
Without explaining anything, Su Yin tossed the Tree Heart of Qiao Chun into the air and controlled it with his zhenqi. After which, he turned to the old tortoise and asked, "Didn't you say that you have comprehended the power of lightning? Strike this one! "
"…"
The tortoise shrank its head back in a daze. It took a moment before it finally regained its senses. With a shy voice, it said, "I have only comprehended a small portion of it. It's very weak, very weak …"
"Un, I know that it's very weak. It's not like I'm asking you to strike it. Just strike it once," Su Yin said.
"Yes!" The tortoise tilted its head to the side and said, "If the wood isn't connected to the ground, or if no one is holding it, it won't work …"
"You're right!"
Su Yin widened his eyes in realization.
Wood was an insulator. The reason why it could be struck by lightning was because it was connected to the ground. Given that it was floating in the air, it would be difficult to strike it and burn it.
"How about this? Place it on the ground, and you'll strike it!"
Su Yin controlled the bed to land on the ground and placed Qiao Chunmu's heart on a rock.
The tortoise nodded once more.
Seeing this sight, Xu Chong and the others glanced at one another and smiled bitterly.
Their Senior Uncle was so powerful and skilled in smithing, so how could he be so naive?
Given how foolish the tortoise was, it was clear that it was weak. Even if it had comprehended the power of lightning, how much could it possibly have comprehended?
Shaking his head, Xu Chong walked up to the tortoise and said, "If it were to be struck by lightning, it would surely explode into oblivion. Let me hold it instead …"
Su Yin frowned.
The other party was right. Given how powerful a lightning strike was, it could easily blast the Tree Heart of Qiao Chun into oblivion. Holding it would prevent such a situation from happening, but …
"I'm afraid that Lao Mian's lightning might be too powerful and injure you!" Su Yin spoke of his worries.
"Senior Uncle, rest assured. Even though I'm lacking in cultivation, I've been forging for many years, so my defensive prowess isn't too bad. Besides, if I really can't withstand it, the Frostsnow Soul Seizing Hook can help me block a portion of it!" Xu Chong shook his head.
This lousy tortoise? Electrocute me? Hehe!
"Alright then!"
Seeing the other party's confidence, Su Yin nodded.
In truth, he had no idea how powerful the lightning that the old tortoise had comprehended was. Since this fellow wanted to test it out, it would be a good opportunity for him to see it for himself.
Hu!
Seeing that his master had agreed to it, Lao Mian didn't say anything else. A glint flashed across its eyes, and a bolt of lightning gathered in its mouth.
Kacha!
As if the sun had appeared before him, a brilliant blue light streaked across the sky and struck the Tree Heart of Qiao Chun.
"This is bad …"
Xu Chong, who was thinking that it was nothing much, suddenly felt a surge of danger upon seeing the blue light. His eyes narrowed, and he hurriedly raised the Frostsnow Soul Seizing Hook to block a portion of the power. But in the next moment, he felt his entire body going numb.
Putong!
With black smoke and charred flesh all over his body, Xu Chong collapsed to the ground, foaming at the mouth.
At this moment, the Frostsnow Soul Seizing Hook had also lost its luster, and a huge crack had appeared on it.
