Chapter 265: The Black Devil Frost, The Divine Weapon (2/2)
”Black Devil Frost? What's that? The Earth Vein Evil Qi? You mean here?” Junior Leopard urgently asked.
”No, this isn't Evil Qi, but a cultivation method. It's Gang Qi!” Green Spirit marveled, ”No wonder the Meteorite Metal fell from the sky and made such a deep hole. No wonder the water here is so cold. No wonder those Red-scaled Pythons have mutated. It turns out that the Meteorite Metal was knocked down from a hollow with the Black Devil Frost!”
”What? It's Gang Qi?” Junior Leopard almost screamed, ”The cold pool was so deep and so large. The Meteorite Metal had fallen from the sky so long ago, at least 7,000 to 8,000 years. How is it possible that the Gang Qi's strength hasn't dissipated after such a long time?”
”It's not intentional! If I guessed right, it was the man who practiced the Black Devil Frost that knocked down the Meteorite Metal in the course of his battle with others. Hee hee, the Black Devil Frost is one of the three kinds of Gang Qi of authentic tradition. Only the disciples of the Moon Palace can practice it to this point!”
Junior Leopard didn't say anything and avoided the black water. He was disappointed. As for the Moon Palace, it should be a school's name in the antiquity times. After so many years, it had probably vanished without a trace. So it was not worth worrying about.
The black water spread. Very soon, a very strong chill spread all over the place. Junior Leopard didn't care it. Although the Black Devil Frost could penetrate through his Poison Cold Shield, there were not much left when it entered Junior Leopard's body after being absorbed by the Poison Cold Shield. After all, so many years passed, it had been diluted a lot and it did not hit him directly. Besides, his own Internal Qi was not affected too much. Thus, he launched the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique and the chill was driven away.
Cao Xuetang was not so lucky. When the Black Devil Frost spread, he felt uncomfortable. Seeing the black water rolling in, he could only drive his Gang Qi up to escape the black Gang Qi, which was enough to destroy his Gang Qi and freeze him. Thus, Junior Leopard saw a very strange scene. The black Gang Qi seemed to be chasing Cao Xuetang all the way towards the pool surface.
”Now, the trouble has gone!” Looking at Cao Xuetang's back, Junior Leopard smiled in the heart. With a wave of his sleeve, he launched the Space Division Skill and put the Meteorite Metal along with the silt under it, into a divided space.
After a space division, the bottom of the pool became smooth and a flood of black water gushed out of the bottom.
”The Black Devil Frost is so powerful!” He had no intention of taking on the unowned Gang Qi that was left by an ancient, so he moved to rush out of the pool. Naturally, he was much faster than Cao Xuetang. Soon, Junior Leopard arrived close to Cao Xuetang, who was drowning in the black water and stretched out his hand to catch Cao Xuetang. Instantly, he sped up, and in a blink of an eye, they rushed out of the mirror-like pool surface. The black water did not leave the cold pool but merged with the current. From the outside, the cold pool was not much different barring that it was a little deeper and colder than before.
”Brother Cao, are you alright?”
Once out of the cold pool, Cao Xuetang sat on the ground and began to regulate his breathing. If Junior Leopard did not pull him out just now, he would've been stuck in the black water to become a lump of ice.
After regulating his breathing for more than one hour, he felt a little better. He opened his eyes and looked at Junior Leopard with gratitude. He said, ”Thanks for your help! Without you, I might have been frozen in this cold pool!”
”It's no bother, not worth mentioning!” Junior Leopard helplessly said, ”Unfortunately, I didn't expect that there would be such a strong cold poison down there!”
”You're not to blame! To get the fire, the stone must be moved to the shore. Thus, we have to move it. It's just that we're out of luck!” Cao Xuetang bitterly said.
Junior Leopard nodded thoughtfully. ”Let's find another way. Anyway, it's in this pool and it won't be lost. How is your injury? Do you want to have a rest and recuperate for some time?”
”No, my injury isn't that bad. I'll be fine in two to three days!” Cao Xuetang shook his head and said, ”I'll stay here!”
”Okay!” Junior Leopard handed the Wood Spirit Bottle in his hand back to Cao Xuetang and added, ”I won't use this bottle for the time being. You can put it away first. I didn't get hurt, but I consumed a lot. Tomorrow I'll go down again and see if I can find a chance to get the kindling of Nanming Ignis.”
Hearing these words, Cao Xuetang showed a very grateful expression despite showing a slither of struggle in his eyes. Eventually, he could not resist the temptation of the kindling of Nanming Ignis and said, ”Then... then, please! I will repay you in the future!”
”We're like family. Don't mention it!” Junior Leopard smiled, looking like a pure high school student, but he had already cursed in his heart, ”Damn it, this guy of the Sect of Flame is really not a good man. I would have thrown you into the pond to feed the pythons if it was not for the fear of offending the sissy Prince Xiaoming. You wouldn't be able to talk here then!”
”Anyway, the trip is worth it! At least our fellowship is established. I saved his life again and now Cao Xuetang already owes me two lives. If he wins power in the Sect of Flame in the future, he must give me some benefit, otherwise, even Prince Xiaoming can't protect him!”
Junior Leopard wrathfully thought.
...
At the end of the town centralization, the yard that was destroyed by Lin Xiaoqing and Junior Leopard had almost been rebuilt. Anyway, it was small and the process was not very complicated. Once again, Junior Leopard lived in it. As soon as he returned to the yard, he set up the Yin and Yang Dust Formation and removed the Meteorite Metal from the space.
”You are right. It was actually knocked down by someone!” Junior Leopard wonderingly said. Though it was no longer at the bottom of the pool, a layer of silt still encased the lower part of the Meteorite Metal. Alas, it was no longer an obstacle.
The Meteorite Metal was so heavy that Junior Leopard felt the ground shake as it hit the ground. It immediately sank half a foot into the ground. However, the part that sank was not the part encased in silt, because Junior Leopard turned it upside down.
Gently wiping away a layer of silt, Junior Leopard saw a shallow palm print. The print was incomplete, but more than half of it remained. It looked as if someone had pushed the Meteorite Metal from the side.
”Nonsense, of course, I'm not wrong! The Black Devil Frost was the most famous Gang Qi of my time. Even in the Moon Palace, there were very few people mastering it. So I can't be wrong. Boy, forget it. Get to work!”
”What? To work?” asked Junior Leopard.
”Break the Meteorite Metal with your two big hammers! The kindling of Nanming Ignis is inside!” Green Spirit said, ”Having been forged by the Black Devil Frost and the Nanming Ignis for so many years, the Meteorite Metal had become a useful material!”
”It's become a useful material? You mean…”
Born in a smelting family, Junior Leopard certainly knew the mean of becoming a useful material. It meant that this material would become a super weapon with some slight refining and wouldn't require too many procedures.
However, Green Spirit was a Great Ancient Demon and proficient in necromancy. He must have different interpretations of ”becoming a useful material” from those of ordinary smelting families like the Wu Family.
”If I'm not mistaken, most of the Meteorite Metal is made up of Taiyi Jade-scaled Gold. I have seen your two big hammers in your space. They're extraordinary. Now that you have the Tusita Fire, you can just make a Divine Weapon!”
”A Divine Weapon?” Junior Leopard raised his eyebrows. He had heard of wizard weapons, but he had never heard of Divine Weapons.
”You can change its size at will. It's like your Knot Golden Net, but it's a little different!”
”Do you mean I can refine my hammers so that I can change their size at will?” Junior Leopard cheerfully asked.
”It's impossible. Their materials are excellent, but they have been forged broken. They can only be used as offcut!” said Green Spirit without mercy.
”What? Take my two hammers as offcut?” Junior Leopard cried angrily, ”You know they're my strongest weapons!”
”Fists are small hammers. Your punching skills have reached a higher level. What's the use of the two hammers?” Seeing Junior Leopard trying to argue, Green Spirit went on, ”I know, you want to increase the lethality using their weight. But you've gone the wrong way. Instead of relying on hammers to enhance your lethality, you should think about making your two fists more powerful than your twin hammers. Otherwise, with your extremely strange and grand fist intent and high cultivation, you still won't realize the final step of crushing vacuum!”
”But...”
”Don't hesitate! You practiced punching skills, and now your fist intent has been condensed. Using your hammers to increase power will only delay the progress of your punching skills!” Green Spirit interrupted Junior Leopard, ”Rest assured, I will help you to make a Divine Weapon more powerful than your twin hammers!”
”I hope so!” Junior Leopard said, somewhat deflated, ”But, I warn you that if you break my hammers but fail to make a Divine Weapon...”
”I am in your hands now. What are you worried about?” said Green Spirit impatiently.
