————————————

Receiving the [Seal - Demon Blood Sacrifice Mirror], Luna was holding a Round Mirror that suddenly turned crimson red, and her mirror-like eyes flashed slightly.

”Master, this is excellent.”

However, Gu Xi did not respond to Luna’s words, as Luna curiously looked toward Gu Xi, discovering that Gu Xi was holding a Long Saber made of Crystal and was lost in thought.

This Long Saber was naturally the Purple Weapon [Evil Blade - Well Dragon’s Chant] acquired last time from the Well Dragon King.

Gu Xi had been considering selling this Evil Blade to exchange for a better piece of Purple Equipment.

Now Gu Xi discovered another use for Purple Armor; Luna could equip one, and there was no reason Shaya couldn’t use the Evil Blade.

Although Shaya was not always by his side, Gu Xi was not the kind of person who favored one over the other.

Moreover, Gu Xi believed that Shaya could handle this Evil Blade.

After making up his mind, Gu Xi then put away the Evil Blade and turned around to see Luna’s concerned expression.

”I’m fine, help me organize the Gem inlays here.”

Upon hearing this, Luna stepped forward to assist.

After a thorough count, Gu Xi found that altogether there were eleven Gem-like inlays this time.

Of course, most of these were White or Green Quality inlays, and their effects were mostly unimpressive. Whites mostly had effects like Attack or Defense +1, and Greens had some Skill Level +1.

But the problem was that Gu Xi hadn’t learned these Skills or Magic, indicating a Demon Sorcerer path.

The ones that truly caught Gu Xi’s eye were three Blue Quality inlays.

The largest, seen at first glance after the explosion, was a mechanical lump melted into a ball.

[Crusher (Blue, Inlay): A crusher that crushes everything, bearing the effects of crushing, destruction, and a bit of luck.

When inlaid on weapons, it adds crushing, pulverizing, destruction-like effects to the attack.

When inlaid on armor, it can resist some crushing, pulverizing, destruction-like effects.]

It was apparent that both offense and defense here revolve around crushing and destruction effects. Gu Xi himself couldn’t use it, but it was top-tier for players or heroes using Heavy Sword or Warhammer-type weapons.

Even if he can’t use it, Gu Xi would keep this item, as someone might need it someday.

The remaining two items were one red Crystal the size of a fist, which had three human faces on it, containing residues of the demon’s last power.

[Twisted Destiny Body (Blue, Inlay): Some leftover demon will, sealed in a Soul Stone, carrying twisted, eerie and menacing energy.

When inlaid on weapons, attack bears fire-element attack effects.

When inlaid on armor, it can defend against 50% of fire-element damage.

When inlaid on jewelry, some eerie effects can be gained.]

This Twisted Destiny Body immediately caught Gu Xi’s attention; he inlaid it into the Cold Wind Staff.

Upon embedding this crimson Crystal with three faces into it, the Cold Wind Staff’s Attributes underwent a transformation.

The original cold aura temporarily warmed.

Simultaneously, a crimson glow appeared at the top of the Cold Wind Staff, and at the dangling rotten head, an additional three-faced crimson crystal human head appeared.

[Cold Wind Staff (Blue, Main Weapon)]

[Attack: 16-19]

[Equipped: Constitution +2. Intelligence +3]

[Equipment Requirements: Power 2, Constitution 3, Intelligence 3]

[Special 1: Cold Wind +3, adds +3 cold freezing effect when using Spells.]

[Special 2: Heaven-Reaching Vine, the Staff’s length can automatically change between 2.5 to 7.5 meters. When the Staff length exceeds 2.5 meters, it will automatically attack approaching enemies (Physical Attack).]

[Inlay Position: Rotting Skull (Bone Shield +1), Twisted Destiny Body (Flame +3, adds +3 flame burning effect to all Spells when used), empty, empty]

[Description: The combination of ice and fire in these spells is quite formal.]

Alright, it’s a formal Spell combination; fortunately, it’s just Cold Wind and Flame each +3, had it been each +9, there might be a Nine Heavens of Ice and Fire occurrence.

As for the last Staff, even more eerie than Twisted Destiny Body, no one knows how it was made. It could smash out such a hand-shaped Gem from such a large Soul Stone.

[Demon’s Right Hand (Blue, Inlay): A demon sealed within a Soul Stone, developing methods to control external surroundings, capable of releasing a tangible arm.

When inlaid on weapons, a second weapon can be added for attack.

When inlaid on armor, a spare arm can shield or perform other defensive actions.]

This Demon’s Right Hand was intriguing to Gu Xi; he realized that it could give him an extra arm, akin to a tangible Mage’s Hand.

However, where to inlay it depends on Gu Xi’s idea.

Carefully pondering, Gu Xi only had the Cold Wind Staff as his main weapon; while the Off-hand Weapon could hold another, this requires a Demon’s Left Hand.

Thus, inlaying extra weapons didn’t seem fitting.

The inlay spot available was armor.

Gu Xi placed the Demon’s Right Hand onto the Reversed Witch Demon Shoulder Guard.

A chain on the Shoulder Guard floated up itself, tightly binding the Demon’s Right Hand.

Subsequently, Gu Xi felt as though he had acquired an extra right hand.

This right hand was controlled freely by him, grabbing various items, complementing some of Gu Xi’s gestures, and equipping it with Gloves or Wrist Guards, though not with weapons.

This realization left Gu Xi speechless, expecting this right hand to shield the Cold Wind Staff.

Soon, Gu Xi discovered this right hand’s prime usage.

While riding the Evil Coffin, the right hand could help hold the Iron Chain, ensuring grips, whether standing or laying, staying stable on the Evil Coffin without getting tossed off.

Since then, Gu Xi can flaunt standing on the high-speed moving Evil Coffin.

Aside from these three inlays catching the eye, other inlays weren’t needed by Gu Xi, leaving them stored away.

Perhaps in future trades with Players, someone may seek this item, or his subordinates might require it.

After dealing with these matters, Zuo Ya and their reply has arrived.

They were skeptical of Gu Xi’s plan to find Players from Qiufeng City during the day.

As for Xia Yi, he agreed to assist Gu Xi in this matter.

Zuo Ya however mentioned needing to observe the situation first before offering help.

Facing such a reply, Gu Xi simply chuckled.

Believe it or not!
