Chapter 54 introduces new blood and information about demon puppets.
Baiquanhu Market.
On White Pine Mountain.
As the celebration began, most of the clan leaders from the gathering place Lianqi family personally came to present generous gifts.
Amidst this bustling scene, the news that a Foundation Establishment cultivator had taken charge of the market spread like wildfire.
above the hall.
To Lin Li's surprise, one of the Qi Refining families below was actually a Qi Refining Perfection cultivator, a burly, earth-yellow giant bear with a bear's head and a human body, which was extremely conspicuous among the human cultivators in the entire hall.
Seemingly noticing Lin Li's slightly curious gaze, Qin Shanmian explained, "Fellow Daoist Liu, that is Chief Xiong Shi, who possesses the rare earth-type spirit bear bloodline. His ancestors once produced Foundation Establishment cultivators, but after their decline, they migrated to our Hundred Springs Lake settlement."
"Their Earth Bear Clan, though not numerous, has ten members at the late Qi Refining stage or above, each skilled in earth-burrowing techniques. Every time they go to the Penglai Mountain Ruins, they can usually retrieve some demon puppet parts or something similar, reaping considerable rewards."
"The puppet shop that their clan runs in the market is also the most popular among the cultivators in the market."
After listening to what Qin Shanmian said, Lin Li nodded in response, "I see."
"By the way, fellow cultivators, do you know if there are any weapon refiners of rank two or above around here?"
"Able to forge second-tier magical artifacts on their own?"
Lin Li turned to Qin Shanmian and the other two Foundation Establishment cultivators on one side and asked.
One of his purposes this time was to find out this information.
"There is indeed a second-tier weapon refiner, but this person has a strange temper. He doesn't accept ordinary magic weapon forging at all, unless it is something that interests him."
"It's located on Sanzhu Mountain, more than 500 miles south of our Baiquanhu Fangshi."
"That is a mid-level second-tier spiritual vein, and the second-tier weapon refiner Ouyang Jue occupies the entire mountain."
"He himself is at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, and in addition to his extraordinary fire-type forging skills, he also has a fire python spirit cultivator at the early Foundation Establishment stage under his command."
"I've heard that the fire python's bloodline aptitude is not just at the lower second tier."
"Perhaps he can be promoted again in the future."
Gu Jinghe then spoke up from the side.
"If Fellow Daoist Liu doesn't mind, I am skilled in weapon crafting, though I can only craft a few ordinary second-tier low-grade magic weapons."
Guan Che chimed in at this point.
"Fellow Daoist Guan, you are too kind. I was just inquiring. I just want to learn the art of weapon crafting so that I won't have to ask around for help to repair or craft magical artifacts in the future."
Lin Li casually replied.
"I see."
"It's easy to get started with weapon crafting, but it's extremely difficult to craft a second-tier magic weapon."
"The more restrictions are added to a magical artifact, the more difficult it becomes."
"I possess a first-class superior weapon-refining technique."
"Fellow Daoist Liu, you may take a look first."
After saying that, Guan Che took out a jade slip from his storage bag and handed it to Lin Li.
"Then thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Guan."
Lin Li checked the jade slip several times with his divine sense and, after confirming that there was nothing wrong with it, put it into his storage bag and bowed to Guan Che to express his gratitude.
Guan Che's attitude towards him was indeed much more enthusiastic.
Perhaps it was because Guan Che was already old that Lin Li could sense that Guan Che's lifespan was at least over two hundred years.
He only has a few decades left before his lifespan ends.
The celebration lasted for a day and a night, ending late at night.
White Pine Mountain.
Inside a secluded cave near the summit.
The spiritual energy here is almost as abundant as that on Green Ape Mountain, which is suitable for his daily cultivation.
Sitting cross-legged on the herb cushion, Lin Li began to examine his harvest.
The spiritual items that were received as gifts would make even those who had undergone eons of cultivation green with envy.
"Two portions of second-tier low-grade essence blood."
Lin Li took out two white jade gourds, and sensed a second-tier essence blood inside each gourd. These two essence blood were given to him by Qin Shanmian and Gu Jinghe.
As for the gift Guan Che gave, it was a second-tier low-grade wind-elemental spirit sword.
After a simple refinement, the speed of the sword became very fast. When this wind-elemental spirit sword was combined with the Wind Spirit Escape Technique, the combined effect meant that fellow cultivators at the early Foundation Establishment stage would definitely not be able to catch up with him.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Li extracted a wisp of blood essence from each of the two portions of second-tier low-grade blood essence and refined it into his body.
[Inclusion successful]
[Second-tier, low-grade bloodline; Earth-burrowing Crimson Beetle!]
[Inclusion successful]
[Second-tier, mid-level bloodline; Hundred-Handed Jade Bone Demon!]
In the blink of an eye, two lifelike projections appeared on the rotating disc. One of them was a huge blood-red beetle exuding a fierce aura, its entire body seemingly made of blood jade, with extraordinary power.
Secondly, there was a skeleton sitting upright on the Demon Hand Lotus Platform, its entire body as if made of white jade, with a hundred large hands of different shapes spread out behind it like a peacock's tail, exuding a sense of oppressive aura.
As soon as the projection of the Hundred-Handed Jade Bone Demon appeared, it stood out from the crowd of second-tier mid-level bloodlines.
It is the closest to the center of the Reincarnation Disc, except for those with second-tier superior bloodlines.
"Second-tier, mid-level bloodline."
This was already beyond Lin Li's expectations.
The cultivation resources in the Baiquan Lake area are much easier to obtain than those in Wushan.
With the support of such a market.
At the auction next year, there will definitely be other second-tier blood essences, which will allow me to strengthen several second-tier bloodline projections within my reincarnation disc.
In this way, we can lay a more solid foundation for the next life.
"First, refine this wind-elemental flying sword."
With a thought, Lin Li took out the flying sword given to him by Guan Che. The next moment, he opened his mouth and swallowed it, using his own pure spiritual energy to completely envelop the sword and begin to slowly refine it.
The previous second-tier wood-type flying sword had some damage to its blade, but the wind-type flying sword that Guan Che gave him had no defects whatsoever.
The power it emitted was also much stronger than that of the wood-type spirit sword.
Refining this second-tier wind-element flying sword will also be more advantageous in battles between opponents of the same tier.
In the blink of an eye.
March has passed.
Lin Li, who had been refining his flying sword in the cave for three months, spat out a wisp of azure rainbow light. The rainbow light grew larger as it faced the wind, transforming into azure flying sword about ten feet wide. His body was enveloped by a stream of sharp sword energy, making him extremely fast.
After circling above the cave several times, it shrank into a wisp of blue light and merged into Lin Li's brow.
The second-tier wind-element flying sword has been basically refined. The remaining small part will require years of nurturing before it can be refined to perfection.
after that.
They took the amethyst, which could shield divine sense and was comparable to a second-tier medium-grade material, and used it to forge a set of protective spiritual armor.
As soon as Lin Ligang stepped out of his secluded cave, he sensed the communication talisman in his storage bag begin to flash. He took out the talisman and probed it with a wisp of his divine sense.
"Fellow Daoist Liu, hurry to provide support about a hundred miles southwest of Hundred Springs Lake. Two second-tier demonic puppets have appeared."
The communication talisman carried Gu Jinghe's voice.
"Second-tier demonic puppet."
"I've been wanting to see it for a while now."
"Perfect timing to test the power of the newly refined Wind Spirit Sword."
A look of anticipation appeared in Lin Li's eyes. He then summoned the Wind Spirit Sword, which transformed into a streak of azure sword energy that flew out from White Pine Mountain and disappeared in the southwest direction of the market a few breaths later.
