Ice-Iron Slime?!
Hearing Qin Shaojie say such a thing, Wen Ya was also startled. She had obviously thought of many possibilities, but had never thought that Qin Shaojie's main goal this time was actually the Ice-Iron Slime.
This was an extremely unfamiliar name to many people. When it came out of Qin Shaojie's mouth, she was even a little incredulous, because forget about a fourteen or fifteen year old child, even if they knew about the existence of Ice-Iron Slime s in the Exquisite Auction House, it was extremely rare.
No one had ever seen it, not even the ones who knew of its existence.
”What are you doing with this thing?”
Wen Ya frowned slightly. If it were other things, Wen Ya would not even say a word and just give it to Qin Shaojie. She would not even care if it cost ten thousand gold, but Ice-Iron Slime s were a little special to Wen Ya.
Even though she didn't say it explicitly, the rhetorical question undoubtedly told Qin Shaojie that she had Ice-Iron Slime s on her hands.
”Yes, it's urgent.”
In regards to this, Qin Shaojie did not hide anything. The main reason he came to find Wen Ya this time was to find the Ice-Iron Slime, and the information he had brought back from Tang Tiebing at the time indicated that Wen Ya was relieved when she found the item in the hands of the Exquisite Auction House's Wen Ya. After all, compared to other people, it was still not convenient to ask for the Ice-Iron Slime, but Wen Ya was different.
But since Qin Shaojie did not kill it, from the change in his expression, Wen Ya could tell that this Ice-Iron Slime was extremely important to Wen Ya as well. He laughed at himself helplessly.
Ice-Iron Slime s seemed to be rare because of their unique origin, but because they knew that they were only used as decorations, their value was not great, thus, Qin Shaojie was even more confident.
But now, it seemed that it was different.
Before this, he had also considered using other things to replace Ice-Iron Slime s, but unfortunately, no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't find a better replacement. Even if he could find a substitute, the effect would be greatly reduced.
”Can you tell me what you want this thing for?”
As his eyebrows relaxed, Wen Ya asked.
It had been more than ten years since she had last worn the Ice-Iron Slime, and she had not even taken a bath before. It could be seen how important the Ice-Iron Slime was to her, and even if Qin Shaojie wanted to ask for it, she was not willing to part with it.
”About the bones.”
After thinking for a while, Qin Shaojie said. So the Ice-Iron Slime's true purpose was to activate the corpse and bones from a certain angle. Back then, Qin Shaojie had determined that this white skeleton was the Black Scorpion Man's skeleton. Its physical body was extremely powerful, and even if it had turned into a white skeleton, a weapon would not be able to match it.
If his estimations were not wrong, the mature Black Scorpion Man's corpse, even if it was Earthly Yuan Stage expert, would find it hard to directly destroy it.
If it was in the past, Qin Shaojie would directly choose to refine this corpse into a puppet and use it for himself. But right now, there was still a faint trace of a remnant soul's ripple that appeared in the deepest part of the corpse. Qin Shaojie was unable to ascertain the degree of power of this remnant soul. If he were to forcefully refine the Black Scorpion Man's corpse and awaken this remnant soul, it might be in extreme danger.
After all, a remnant spirit that could subdue a sealed Black Scorpion Man was definitely not simple. At least, within the Great Yan Dynasty, Qin Shaojie was sure that no one could achieve this, even if they managed to reach life and death realm.
Others might not know how powerful the Black Scorpion Man was, but how could Qin Shaojie not know? This was an existence that even human experts with life and death realm were afraid of when they were alive.
But now that the situation in the Holy Flame Academy had changed, Qin Shaojie had no choice but to find some means to protect himself. Other than the runes that Wen Ya had given him back then, this corpse was the most effective tool for Qin Shaojie in this short period of time.
If he could refine it into his own puppet, then even if he were to face Earthly Yuan Stage expert, he would have the confidence and the opportunity to escape.
There were many materials needed for refining puppets, and some were even more powerful by directly turning living people into puppets. They could preserve one's spiritual sense and mind, but they could control one's actions. The lowest level was waking up the corpse, becoming a tool that only knew how to kill without any consciousness. And the Black Scorpion Man right now was clearly the best material.
The reason why he chose the Ice-Iron Slime was because of its characteristics, which allowed him to seal out that remnant soul while he was refining the puppet. When the day comes when he becomes strong enough, he would be able to retrieve the Ice-Iron Slime and control the remnant soul. Furthermore, he would also be able to find some information from the remnant soul.
At the moment, the only thing that could be used to refine the corpses without awakening the remnant soul was the Ice-Iron Slime.
This thing was formed by two different attributes. One attribute was the extreme coldness of the ice attribute. Once the ice attribute was released, it would be able to suppress the world of ice. One was the iron element, which made it extremely tough. This kind of hard and sturdy metal element was very difficult to destroy. This was also the reason why Qin Shaojie was certain that only Ice-Iron Slime were effective.
He suppressed the remnant soul along with its ice attribute and used the iron attribute to seal it.
Of course, Qin Shaojie naturally had his methods to activate the two different attributes of Ice-Iron Slime.
However, Qin Shaojie did not directly tell all of these to Wen Ya, but simply mentioned that the Ice-Iron Slime s could benefit him in refining the corpses into puppets.
