Chapter 235 The golden book reopens, the ability to capture the soul
"oh?"
After hearing Wei Ci's words, although Kuang Xun's expression did not change much, the slight glance at the corner of his mouth and a trace of gloating in his eyes betrayed him.
That’s secret joy!
He said: "Jiang Yan, no wonder the Jiang family has been so noisy these days."
After learning that Wei Ci had killed the Jiang family, Kuang Xun looked at Wei Ci with less casual eyes and a slightly closer look.
He pointed to his feet and said: "Although this basement is a prison set by the Jiang family for me, no one comes here on weekdays. You can take shelter here temporarily."
Wei Ci heard this and thanked him again.
With the previous "reminder" in mind, in the following time, he stopped watching Kuang Xun's forging process and started doing his own thing.
The consumption of vitality was quickly replenished through practice, and he began to happily count the loot.
After opening Jiang Yan's storage ring, Wei Ci directly cursed "big dog" in his heart.
Too fat!
There are 4 high-grade Yuan stones, 2580 middle-grade Yuan stones, a dozen bottles of elixirs to assist cultivation, an exquisite magic weapon long sword, and some clothes, food and other sundries.
Finally, he saw the most incredible thing - the ferry ticket that he had been unable to obtain before.
3 pictures in total!
It is said to be 3 pieces, but in fact they are 3 small tokens refined from special golden books.
There was a pattern of a small boat printed on the token, which was exactly the same as what Wu Hou and others had described to him before.
Although in his current situation, he won't be able to use it for the time being, that may not be the case in the future. The extra one can even be sold privately, which is another huge profit.
As expected of the Jiang family, their wealth is really rich, just from the amount of Yuanshi they carry with them.
Kuang Xun glanced casually and saw three tokens in Wei Ci's hand, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
3 boat tickets! How did this guy get it?
Looking at it again, Wei Ci happened to take out a bundle of arrows and turned them over for inspection. There was a strange fluctuation on the arrows.
After checking his mental strength, he immediately had many guesses about Wei Ci's identity.
That was actually the breath of the inscription!
Using arrows to engrave them is indeed a bit of a luxury. After all, arrows are only consumables. Most of the time, they are useless after one use. However, the cost of hiring an armorer to engrave them is not low.
Could it be that he is the core disciple of some family or sect?
He was a little confused.
Wei Ci didn't notice his strange look. He was currently counting the items in Jiang Yan's storage ring.
He can't use the elixirs to assist his cultivation.
The Golden Book has the effect of gathering Yuan, but it’s a crappy elixir. I’ll sell it for Yuan Stone next time.
The long sword was a bit strange. There were no inscriptions on it, but Wei Ci felt a strong spiritual aura from the sword.
He thought of a possibility - the soul-sealing magic weapon!
We can study it later... he thought.
In comparison, the other people he killed had very few resources. All of them together only had more than 200 middle-grade Yuan stones, and some worthless things.
"absorb!"
Wei Ci's thoughts enveloped most of the middle-grade Yuanshi, and he thought silently in his heart.
Following his command, call... most of the pile of middle-grade Yuan stones in the Sumeru space disappeared in an instant.

【Energy:515570】
Looking at this energy level, Wei Ci felt very good.
He had an idea, opened the fourth page of the golden book, and turned to the back.
"Turn on!"
The golden book does not move at all.
Um?
Wei Ci was shocked. He couldn't open more than 500,000 yuan?
He tried a few more times in disbelief, but Jin Shu still had no response.
He was really speechless now.
However, when his attention returned to the fourth page of the golden book, he noticed the two gray light groups that were left when "Ju Yuan" was activated earlier.
Could it be...
He did whatever he thought of, and Wei Ci's mind stayed on the second light group.
Sure enough, the next moment, a line of golden text appeared:
[Plunder-Soul Capture: 500000 energy to activate (2/3)]
Hiss... 500,000 energy is activated!
Wei Ci twitched when he saw it, could it be more outrageous?
However, soul-capturing... what kind of ability is this?
He looked at the third gray light group.
This time, to his disappointment, Jin Shu was "silent" again. Looking around, the light group showed no reaction.
Returning to the second light group again, the line of text appeared again:
[Plunder-Soul Capture: 500000 energy to activate (2/3)]
Open? Not open?
Wei Ci struggled for a while, thought of the current situation, and decided to make a hasty decision.
"Turn on!"
Silently, the second light group dimmed and faded, then lit up with blue light.
What is the effect of soul-capturing?
With a thought, Wei Ci explored the blue light group.
What puzzled him was that when he mobilized the ability of the blue light group like he used to activate "Ju Yuan", he only felt a faint "drum" in the air, and an invisible wave swayed slightly around.
Other than that, there was no other reaction.
That's it?
Damn it, 500,000 energy points!
Wei Ci wanted to cry but had no tears.
After calming down, he looked at the blue light group and began to think again.
It stands to reason that the greater the cost, the more powerful the effect, and the two should be directly proportional.
But Jin Shu’s reaction was really embarrassing.
To capture souls...to capture souls...to capture souls, does it have to be the soul of a dead thing? Otherwise, if living creatures can also capture souls, wouldn't it be against the will of heaven?
The more he thought about it, the more he realized it was true.
However, this can only be verified after we go out.

【Energy: 15570】
Yes, once we go back to before liberation!
Wei Ci glanced at the remaining energy points and withdrew from the golden book space with heartache.
Now, he still has 6 high-grade yuan stones, 200 medium-grade yuan stones, and more than a dozen bottles of elixirs, which are suitable for the cultivation and use of second- and third-level practitioners, including the most precious 3 that Wei Tianxing left for him.
A bottle of 10 precious elixirs.
As for other things, except for some captured swords and swords, they were all his original belongings.
In the "sacrifice" just now, many things were swallowed up by the golden book, but it freed up a lot of space.
After doing this, Wei Ci was free again.
There was still a lot of inscription ink left, so he simply continued to inscribe the arrows.
On the other side, although Kuang Xun was forging, his attention was always paying attention to Wei Ci's movements.
At first, Wei Ci took out some things from time to time, and he didn't think it was anything. But when the inscription knife, ink, and a small pile of arrows appeared, he was a little surprised.
Could it be that that boy can still inscribe his tattoos?
As he continued to pound the rough dough with his hand, Kuang Xun was distractedly paying attention to Wei Ci's movements.
Soon, his mouth opened slightly in shock, that boy was really inscribing!
From the moment when Wei Cici made the first stroke steadily with his knife, the middle strokes were steady without any jitters, until the last stroke was lightly hooked, perfectly connecting to the initial position of the knife. His technique was extremely skillful.
He was so familiar with it, and he thought to himself that he didn't have such skills back then.
In addition, those forged arrows, the precise inscription circuits on the arrows are flawless and full of beauty, and you can detect the special fluctuations on them if you feel them carefully.
This suddenly aroused Kuang Xun's interest.
Even while exercising, he simply stopped and stared at Wei Ci refining the weapon.
He was so focused, so confident and pure. For some reason, in Wei Ci, Kuang Xun felt like he was seeing himself when he was young.
Wei Ci devoted himself wholeheartedly to the state of Mingwen, turning a deaf ear to everything happening in the outside world. As long as he did not feel threatened, he could remain in this state for a long time.
At a certain moment, the ink in the engraving knife ran out.
Wei Ci suddenly came back to his senses.
When he was refilling the ink, he felt someone's eyes staring at his hands.
When he raised his eyes, he met Kuang Xun's gaze. There was both appreciation and doubt in his eyes.
"Young Master Wei, who did you learn this technique of inscription weapon refining from?" Kuang Xun asked.
"This junior has no masters, and I don't know how to refine weapons. This crude inscription method was passed down to me by my elders in the family, and I explored it myself." Wei Ci said frankly.
When Kuang Xun heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched.
Is that called superficial?
The smaller the weapon, the more difficult the inscription is.
Being able to inscribe patterns on narrow arrowheads is still self-taught. Wei Ci's talent in inscribing patterns is probably much higher than his.
Of course, he only half-believed Wei Ci's words. He knew how difficult it was to inscribe. Maybe the other party didn't want to tell the truth.
He smiled slightly and asked casually: "Haha, do you know who I am?"
When Wei Ci heard this question, he immediately realized that the identity of the somewhat unkempt middle-aged uncle in front of him might not be that simple.
However, this is consistent with normal logic.
After all, ordinary people wouldn't be locked up here in chains.
He had previously speculated that the person who had been refining weapons in the Jiang family's basement for a long time was supposed to be the Jiang family's weapon refiner, but the person in front of him was wearing chains. It was unreasonable to say that he was worshiped by his family.
"Juniors don't know."
He really has no say in this.
In addition to those powerful people who are praised by others, although he also knows a little about some slightly famous people on this continent, it is very limited.
He really didn't know the name Kuang Xun.
"Then do you know the Kuang family in Black Yao City?" Kuang Xun continued to ask.
"The Kuang family of Heiyao City! Who are you and senior weapon refiner Kuang Qinghe?" Wei Ci suddenly remembered and exclaimed.
"He is my father."
Wei Ci was really surprised now. Kuang Qinghe was one of the most famous weapon refiners on this continent. In the world of practitioners, it would be no exaggeration to say that no one knew about it.
No wonder it sounded familiar. It turned out to be Kuang Qinghe's son. He had indeed heard of this name.
Kuang Xun was one of the most talented weapon refiners in the Kuang family back then. His talent in weapon refinement was astonishing and he could only catch up with his father.
It is rumored that after Kuang Qinghe joined the Weapon Refiner's Guild, he devoted himself to studying the art of refining without caring about worldly affairs. Among the descendants of the Kuang family, the most amazing and talented ones are his two grandsons, Kuang Xun and Kuang Yue.
These two people are also masters in the art of weapon refining, but because Kuang Qinghe is famous, he is not very famous.
Kuang Yue is now the acting head of the Kuang family and is widely known.
Kuang Xun, however, began to fade out of everyone's sight a few years ago. He was only mentioned occasionally, and many outsiders speculated that he might have died.
However, who could have imagined that the descendants of this master would be trapped here.
This is intriguing, and it doesn’t take Wei Ci to guess that there must be a lot of fishiness involved.
