Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?

At the mouth of the bag, sixty Inquiry Stones flew out on their own.

When a few people wanted to take another look, the bag’s opening suddenly shrank. Wang Xingzhi hurriedly snatched it back and tucked it into his arms.

Han Yu secretly sighed at his cunningness. He was still pondering whether to help manage the other forty on behalf of the old master but was given no chance at all.

Tsk! Who exactly is he guarding against?

Wang Xingzhi was indeed guarding against him. A hundred Inquiry Stones would be enough to break Elder Wood’s legs at Lord Su’s command. Just imagine, if he lost the old master’s forty stones, he might also have to have his legs broken as well.

They left almost immediately, taking those ten burdens with them.

This could be considered good news!

The poor ten people, unloved by both father and mother, yet only Wang Xingzhi was able to remember them.

In the location of the old city, after mastering the refining method of the Void Spirit Jade, the old master successively contributed several Artifact Refining techniques.

And their way of betting was the most interesting.

Every time Mo Xiuwen had one of those whimsical ideas, the old master had the habit of gambling when it was put into action.

This amused Mo Xiuwen greatly. He wasn’t necessarily skilled at betting on other things.

But when it came to betting on this matter, it was practically as if it was given to him without any effort.

Behind those seemingly impossible theories was simply innovation carried out time and time again.

For example, with the Void Spirit Jade, the concept of a Spirit Stone conversion device was thoroughly minimized by him; a mechanism the size of a mountain is now only as tall as a person.

By discarding the part of the mechanism that converts and leaving only the energy-releasing mechanism, it suffices!

As for conversion, one can use another device to extract Spirit Stones, convert them into spiritual power, and then inject it into the Void Spirit Jade.

The storage capacity of the Void Spirit Jade is a thousand times stronger than that of Spirit Stones, and if done well, Mo Family mechanisms henceforth become even more portable.

”How about this?”

In the old master’s view, the armor-like thing on the blueprint was no different from chicken ribs; even a casual blow from him could entirely obliterate it.

”But what if such a thing allows any cultivator to instantly possess the strength of a cultivator at the Initial Realm of the Divine Platform?”

Mo Xiuwen asked with a grin, even as he spoke, a vision of a sky filled with flying armor appeared in his mind.

The old master momentarily paused in his speech, seemingly also envisioning a sky full of armor.

”Can it really be done?”

”Give me time, and it can be,”

Mo Xiuwen said with unprecedented confidence. As long as he completely masters the Void Spirit Jade and finds a way to master the crafting of a Spirit Treasure body like Chasing Soul.

He could definitely create a mechanism comparable to a cultivator of the Divine Platform Realm.

Although it may not measure up to Chasing Soul, it would be sufficient for the Central Continent.

”No, if you can actually achieve that, you’d be on par with Yama Hall’s spy,”

The old master shook his head suddenly. A type like Chasing Soul is too unique; without matching with a special cultivation technique, it’s practically useless.

Therefore, in Yama Hall, there is only a Split Soul like this, and no other cultivators walk such a path.

The spirit body of a Spirit Treasure might be strong, but ultimately, it’s not one’s own body, which serves as an impediment to cultivation.

Seeing that Split Soul hasn’t advanced in years is proof enough.

But Mo Xiuwen’s situation is different; if realized, any cultivator could have the strength to battle with an Initial Realm cultivator within a short time.

In terms of significance, the difference between the two is glaringly obvious.

The old master found it strange just at the thought.

”If you really can create this, then you might just become the master of Artifact Refining,”

The awkward position of Magical Treasures and Spiritual Treasures lies in the fact that aside from the one of a kind, the rest provide decreasing help to cultivators.

But Mo Xiuwen’s concept is truly possible, allowing a small cultivator to wield Spiritual Treasures and decimate the field.

This might be a new breakthrough in Artifact Refining over the millennia.

The old master felt excited just at the thought, but Mo Xiuwen, damningly, had to shake the Void Spirit Jade.

”You’ve lost again,”

What?

Lost again?

The old master was momentarily dumbfounded; wasn’t he still discussing the feasibility of the blueprint?

When did he lose?

Mo Xiuwen grinned, pinched the Void Spirit Jade in his hand, coughed dryly a few times, and suddenly, another piece of Void Spirit Jade on the table emitted a coughing sound.

”When did this happen?”

The old master was bewildered. He hadn’t realized when the other party completed it right in front of him.

This time, the bet was whether a sound transmission tool could be created, though it never crossed his mind that it truly was.

And it was completed while discussing another mechanism with him.

So, he lost again!

Darn it; Mo Xiuwen hasn’t even made a Void Spirit Jade yet; he used the old master’s Void Spirit Jade and capitalized on his ideas to win.

It was no different from getting something for nothing.

The old master, with an indignant air, spun in place. At this moment, Wang Xingzhi... Liu Zongyuan arrived, at just the wrong time.

”You arrived just in time,”

the old master charged forward in a huff, nearly scaring the two out of their wits.

Just as he was about to give them a good scolding to vent his anger, Wang Xingzhi, reading the cues, decisively pulled out a spatial bag.

”Elder Mu asked me to bring the Inquiry Stones,”

The old master immediately fell silent, not due to the Inquiry Stones, but because of the spatial bag instead.

”That was brought by Mu Zili?”

He furrowed his brows and asked anew.

Wang Xingzhi quickly nodded; this was indeed specially entrusted to Mu Zili to bring.

”Dump out the stones, and deliver the bag,”

the old master nodded thoughtfully before he spoke.

Wang Xingzhi dared not slack off; upon hearing this, he sent a stream of spiritual power into the spatial bag.

A small pile of stones cascaded out and formed a mound, then he promptly closed the bag’s mouth again.

”Is there anything else?”

The old master looked at the two who were motionless and inquired.

Wang Xingzhi looked troubled; this matter was too significant; Su Xiaoxiao was elusive, how could these small minions find her?

”Not difficult,”

The old master released a stream of his own aura; after circling a few times, it flew outside.

Su Xiaoxiao also had his aura on her; to locate her, they just needed to follow this aura.

Even after the two left, the old master remained thoughtful, standing still.

The spatial bag was Mu Zili’s personal Spiritual Treasure; for even such an item to be taken out, it surely wasn’t a trivial matter.

Could it be that the Endless Sea Domain had new developments, or was there some new activity from Yama Hall?

”Still willing to bet?”

Interrupting him was Mo Xiuwen’s voice, his eyes were now sparkling bright.

”Just bet on how to make that thing,”

The old master’s mouth twitched as he turned back, ”Not betting.”

Because it was something even he didn’t possess.

...

Over on the New City side, Han Yu had long since pocketed the sixty Inquiry Stones.

”Six hundred years of Qi Fortune is just enough,”

The Artifact Spirit danced joyfully; this batch of Inquiry Stones was of excellent quality, with a high Qi Fortune content.

Faced with such an abundance of Qi Fortune, Han Yu might have been ecstatic before, but now, he seemed almost numb.

Not because he had acquired too much Qi Fortune, but because the bottle’s appetite had grown too immense.

Like an abyss, so much Qi Fortune went in without so much as a sound.

”Seventy percent!”

The Artifact Spirit shook its head; the revival progress was still at seventy percent.

No change at all.

Instead, the changes in Han Yu were more obvious than in it; the Gold Divine Power was fully perfected, only a step away from the stage of Heavenly Spirits.

As for the physical body, whether the bottle had enhanced it was hard to determine without finding someone to smack him.

Han Yu looked to the sky with a sigh; the Qi Fortune from the Central Continent was unreliable; only the Celestial Dao Sect’s side had Inquiry Stones, but with the bottle’s stagnant progress, he wasn’t sure if he could even complete the last step.

If seventy percent was like this, where could he gather Qi Fortune for the remaining twenty percent?

Could it be that in the end, he’d have to rely on the bottle’s three-days-per-pill to grind away slowly?

Then, first thing he’d need to do was buy a ticket to Longevity from the Celestial Dao Sect; otherwise, he feared he wouldn’t live to see that day.
