Chapter 110 (1/2)
It was unknown how the Slays Six Generals was arranged. There still was seven days' time, and taking advantage of these days, Su Xing began to search for a paradise to train his spirit vessel so as to avoid wasting the Purple Star Grade Liangshan Outlaw Jade Pendant.
Wandering around the Cloudcover for half a day, searching through several towns, Su Xing did not find any place that could be used for training. This could not be helped. Liangshan had several thousands of years, and the Azure Dragon Territory was like a girl on her wedding night, having already been felt up everywhere, up to the majestic forbidden areas and down to the remotest escapes. If spirit vessels did not follow a sect, then they followed the control of a powerful family. Scattered Star Cultivators wanted to find an Immortal's Abode of their own to train in were dreaming.
In actuality, Su Xing could find a few places where the spiritual influences were vigorous, but it was just that he would greatly squander the Purple Star Grade Jade Pendant this way.
”It seems Young Master can only chisel a way through the wall.”1 Wu XInjie said. What she referred to was to lower his head and enter those sects to use those treasured grounds. He could choose to join and secretly open the Immortal's Abode. The average sect was extremely large, anyways, and the disciples under a sect that wanted an Immortal's Abode were countless. As long as he was careful, it would be hard to be discovered.
Su Xing nodded. He could only do this.
However, the time to go chisel a way through the wall currently was too late. Su Xing thought about it, and still decided to first return to the inn.
At the Stone Tablet Inn, he requested a single room.2
Wu Xinjie knew intuitively to lay down in the surroundings of the room a ”Heaven's Qi Great Array.”3 This magic circle's greatest use was that it could make spiritual power and Star Energy seemingly not flow, so as to avoid detection by outsiders. Using it to refine artifacts and such, this was a magic circle Star Cultivators were required to learn.
Su Xing then aroused his Divine Intent, and a sword and shield flew out.
These two Ancient Lost Treasures obtained from the Crying Infant's body were dark and colorless. When they appeared, they let out an owl's weeping cry, and the girls all could not help but furrow their brow.
Seven days already were spent refining this, and this Heaven Sword and Earth Shield were still violent as before.
”This Ancient Lost Treasure really is mysterious.” Shi Yuan said.
”Should Young Master be able to refine these Ancient Lost Treasures into Nebula Magic Weapons, then they would be very useful.” Wu Xinjie slightly smiled.
In regards to Star Cultivators, magic weapons were devices to divide the work of complex and easy tasks. From Stardust Stage to Galaxy Stage, Star Cultivators used artifacts. Galaxy Stage and above used magic weapons. Not only did magic weapons have far greater spiritual power than magic artifacts, in all aspects, they were stronger by several levels. On average, magic weapons required the Star Energy of a Supercluster Cultivator, whose was vast as the ocean, in order to be refined, so magic weapons could only be used at Supercluster or Galaxy Late Stage, at the very least.
However, there were times that Nebula Cultivators used magic weapons for battle.
In addition, this type of magic weapon was refined from an Ancient Lost Treasure. However, to refine an Ancient Lost Treasure into a Low Grade Magic Weapon was simply hated by men and gods alike in the eyes of others.
After the magic circle was placed, Su Xing controlled the Heaven and Earth Sword and Shield to float in the air. Then, he wiped some essence blood on the sword and the shield, and he urged his Star Energy to begin refining the remnants of the Crying Infant's breath on the Ancient Lost Treasure. The ancient breath and Su Xing's Divine Intent, blood and qi mixed together, and a formless battle unfolded in his mind. Refining two Ancient Losts at the same time very much put to the test a Star Cultivator's willpower and control, but it enormously promoted a Star Cultivator's ability to control Star Energy. It was precisely thanks to refining these two Lost Treasures that Su Xing could effortlessly play with the two copper lions at will in his hands.
At the same time Su Xing earnestly refined the Ancient Lost Treasure, the other girls were not idle.
Lin Yingmei was responsible for taking up guard duty.4
Wu Xinjie brought out several dozen maps and more than ten ancient annals, the jade strip and scrolls, flipping through the pages on one hand while she took notes, planning for future matters.
Shi Yuan, as usual, studies the Mo Attack Mechanism Arts and upgraded the final Copper Man Puppet using the Sixth Rank One-Eyed Dragon's soul, and she asked Wu Xinjie for assistance when she reached difficult portions. The Knowledge Star quickly provided her wisdom, and Shi Yuan's Puppet Mechanism operation made speedy progress.
Shi Yuan also was not unoccupied. Besides using the Evil Suppressing Gem Bamboo to breed the Essence Swallowing Dragons, the Efficacious Star currently mulled over a bold plan – to manufacture a ”Pill Talisman” that transformed a pill to have a talisman's use. Inside the Void Liangshan, acting as the Divine Physician, An Suwen mostly was on the sidelines worrying helplessly. Since she could not formulate a flawless trap and kill plan like the Resourceful Star, nor did she have any way to charge and break through enemy lines like the Majestic Star, it was the Flea on A Drum's random appearing and disappearing that could bring about surprising results.
An Suwen did not want to stand on the side looking and worrying helplessly. Regarding the Efficacious Star's helping the dying and healing the injured, that was her personal strength. There were myriad changes in an instant inside a fight, but that would not give her this chance. Vital qi, essence qi, magic energy, Star Energy and so on all were crucial. If she could create a few talisman-like, fast-acting pills, in a battle, it could manifest unexpected turning points. However, that the entire Azure Dragon Territory had never heard before of a Pill Talisman was not a small challenge.
One man and four women regularly and thoroughly had their hands occupied with work. They were very clear that without the support of a strong Great Sect, future Star Duels would only be even harder. Everything could only be based on their own great effort.
And just like that, in the blink of an eye, they had arrived at the appointed final day.
The Heaven and Earth Sword and Shield hovered in the air. They saw the dim appearance had already regained it silvery light, the pure rays binding ninety percent of it. Su Xing continuously struck seals, and his Star Energy fiercely shot over. The Crying Infant's breath was under continuous bombardment before it finally dispersed.
The Heaven and Earth Sword and Shield shone with a dazzling brilliance, its entire body again resuming its dim appearance. Compared to artifacts, the Heaven and Earth Sword and Shield's power was reserved. A Star Energy dense as clouds shrouded the sword and shield, just like a Nebula Grade Magic Weapon! It had a greater spiritual nature than it did previously, and Su Xing's Divine Intent lacked much of the Sixth Rank Demon Beast's powerful presence. Although it was weakened by more than half, Su Xing still was quite satisfied.
Swallowing several spirit liquids that restored magic energy, An Suwen fully used a Spiritual Aura Distribution to make Su Xing's vital qi restored to perfect condition.
”Now we'll go see just what background this Heavenly Star has.” Su Xing smiled.
Putting away the magic circle, the group walked out the door. The four beautiful ladies meticulously suppressed their Star Maiden auras. Regarding how they concealed their identities and disguised themselves, this was nothing out of the ordinary for Wu Xinjie, An Suwen and Shi Yuan. On the contrary, Lin Yingmei had the innate Panther Head's pride and was incapable of concealment. Her forehead's heroic spirit pressing, her eyes carrying a profound icy arrogance, she was like a guard that did not reveal deep secrets, which more and more manifested Su Xing's hedonistic and spoiled son style.
Exiting the inn's door, just as they were about to arrive at the public square, from far away, they saw an Old Daoist walk over to Su Xing.
