I haven't seen him for several years, but Tian Xiaojian's style is still the same, but compared with the original impression, he is less bold and more steadfast and mature.
"Young Master!" Yuan San bowed and saluted, with a hint of fear on his face.
Tian Xiaojian glanced at him and frowned slightly before he spoke: "Looking at your expression, the mission failed?"
"Young master, please spare my life. It's not because I don't try my best, but because of an accident." Yuan San trembled all over and shouted loudly to Qu Lai.
Then he narrated what happened without adding any exaggeration or jealousy, and it was basically consistent with the facts.
Tian Xiaojian's face showed a hint of surprise, and he reached out and touched his chin: "In that case, I can't blame you."
"Thank you, young master, for your kindness. I will do my best to serve you faithfully, even through fire and water, no matter what."
"Get up!"
"yes!"
Yuan San got up and stood aside respectfully with his hands tied, while Tian Xiaojian was pacing around, frowning and thinking.
"Young Master." After a while, Yuan San spoke cautiously.
"explain."
After receiving Tian Xiaojian's permission, Yuan San swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then spoke carefully: "Young Master, since we are sure that the things are in the hands of the Liuye family, why bother to go to all the trouble to carry out the investigation on the two families?
To provoke, just take action and grab it..."
"Idiot!" An angry look appeared on Tian Xiaojian's face: "Although the Liuye family is not very powerful, after all, they all have masters at the pill condensation stage. If you think you can succeed so easily, you must have frightened the enemy."
"Yes, young master is wise." Yuan Sannuo said repeatedly, but there was still a puzzled expression in his eyes.
Tian Xiaojian saw it and snorted: "You think I am willing to stay here, but this is the only place where there is news about Netherworld Hantie."
"Netherworld Cold Iron?"
Lin Xuan was confused by the previous conversation, but as soon as this word fell into his ears, he immediately became energetic.
After entering the pill condensation stage, you can refine your own magic weapon, but Lin Xuan has not done it yet. This is of course not because he already has the Mysterious Fire Divine Bead in his hand. A while ago, the Master and the Grandmaster
Each was given a treasure.
Although ancient treasures are extremely powerful, for monks in the Dan Condensation stage, the most important thing is always their own magic treasure.
It’s not because Lin Xuan didn’t think about what to practice.
Generally speaking, every alchemy-condensing period exercise method will have its own method of refining the magic weapon of the phase seal.
And in his hand, whether it is Jiutian Xuan Gong or Xuan Mo Sutra, there are detailed introductions in it. There are four or five magic weapons in Jiutian Xuan Gong.
Each one has infinite uses, of course. The emphasis is slightly different. Practitioners can choose which magic weapon to practice according to their own needs.
Lin Xuan also studied it carefully.
But no matter which magic weapon it is, it requires extremely precious materials. Even if there are crystal stones in the market, you can't buy them, so you need to look for them by yourself.
Originally, Lin Xuan planned to wait for his strength to be stable before traveling around, collecting materials, and refining scale armor and magic weapons. Unexpectedly, Master Tong Yu ordered him to go out and do something.
After all, he was considered the young master of Spiritual Medicine Mountain, not to mention that his master had been honest with him and gave away two treasures for free. Lin Xuan was too embarrassed to shirk, so he had to come to Qingye Mountain for a trip.
Anyway, they are just a cultivating family. If they encounter any difficult problems, it is not too late to help them solve them and then travel around.
But things in the world are unpredictable, and demon cultivators actually appeared here.
Lin Xuan followed him secretly out of caution, but unexpectedly he heard unexpected news, and he was naturally overjoyed.
Speaking of which, Netherworld Cold Iron has nothing to do with the magic weapon in Jiutian Xuan Gong. It is not difficult to infer from the name that this object should be a material for ghost cultivation.
Tian Xiaojian said bitterly: "After I condensed the golden elixir, I still don't have my own magic weapon. Although my master gave me several ancient treasures..."
Hearing this, Lin Xuan burst out laughing. Let's not talk about whether the two were enemies or friends. From this point of view, they really looked like brothers in distress.
Of course, this is also because the two of them have extremely high vision, and they simply disdain to use ordinary things to refine the natal magic weapon.
"Young Master, you are the only disciple of the Demon Lord. The Mysterious Demonic Dharma you practice is wonderful. Could it be that there is no good method for refining magic weapons introduced in it?" Yuan San said a little puzzled.
"Why not?" Tian Xiaojian's face showed a hint of helplessness: "The Xuan Mo Sutra introduces the materials and refining methods of seven or eight kinds of magic weapons, such as the Ziyun Thunder Light Sword, the Cloudy Sky Death Ring, and the White Bone Wounded Soul Stick.
…”
What Tian Xiaojian was talking about were all famous magic weapons of the devil. Although Yuan San was only in the foundation building stage, he had heard of them all, with an undisguised look of envy on his face: "Then why, young master...
"
"You don't want to refine it?" Tian Xiaojian showed a helpless and proud expression on his face: "Haven't you heard that you can only refine one life magic weapon? Even though the things just mentioned are top-notch,
It’s a treasure, but it’s not in the eyes of this young master.”
"Ah?" Yuan San's face was full of surprise, but he soon felt relieved. The person in front of him was not a grassroots immortal cultivator like himself. He had a big backer behind him. He was a direct disciple of the Demon Lord, so it was normal for him to have a higher vision.
"Then, young master, what are your plans..." Yuan San spoke cautiously.
Tian Xiaojian glanced at him. If it were other high-level monks who were asking, he would naturally not say much. However, this person was his confidant, not to mention that he was only at the foundation building stage, so it would be useless to tell him.
Of course, the most important reason is that Tian Xiaojian has been holding this matter in his heart for a long time, and he has a very strong temper and is unwilling to ask the master for help. What's more, things like Netherworld Cold Iron can only be encountered but cannot be sought. Although the Extreme Demon Lord is a Yuan
A monk in the mid-infancy stage may not be able to get it.
If you have been holding back your worries for a long time, you need to talk to someone. This is no different between immortal cultivators and ordinary people. Tian Xiaojian clenched his fists and said slowly: "Those things I just mentioned, I will have time to refine them into ordinary magic weapons in the future."
Yes, but it’s a magic weapon of destiny. I only value two things..."
"The Ten Thousand Soul Banner and the Nether Heart-Breaking Sword!"
Tian Xiaojian's voice fell into his ears. Lin Xuan had a look on his face. After the golden elixir was condensed, in order to choose the magic weapon for his destiny, in addition to the Nine Heavens Mysterious Technique, he also carefully browsed the relevant parts of the Mysterious Demon Scripture.
, there are many magic weapons introduced in it, but in terms of power, the Ten Thousand Soul Banner and the Netherworld Heart-Breaking Sword top the list.
Needless to say, the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls. The Demon King chose this object as his natal magic weapon. Although he was cursed by the right people as a maniac and a heinous person, in all fairness, it has no magical effect.
Both offense and defense have great magical powers.
But when Lin Xuan made the selection, he rejected it outright. Although it was much easier to find the materials to refine this treasure, the most important thing was that Lin Xuan could not harden his heart no matter what.
The so-called Ten Thousand Soul Banners, as the name suggests, require the souls of living people to be sacrificed. And the greater the number, the more infinite the power.
It is said that the thing used by the Supreme Demon Lord imprisoned the souls of ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine living people, so that these people cannot fall into reincarnation after death. They can only suffer forever...
Lin Xuan asked himself that he was not a good person, but he could not do such a cold-blooded thing.
He will not show mercy to his enemies, but he will not take the initiative to harm others either.
Of course, why Tian Xiaojian did not choose this treasure may also be due to another reason. Although relatively speaking, the materials for this treasure are easier to collect. But refining is also very difficult. With his current level of cultivation, he must at least be in this flag. Add nearly ten thousand souls, otherwise it will be difficult to exert its power.
Every soul needs to be sacrificed, which will take a lot of time, and it can take up to ten years. Now that the war between good and evil is imminent, Tian Xiaojian has no choice but to give up this treasure. Otherwise, there will be too few souls, and the power of magical powers cannot be compared to ordinary magic weapons. .
Apart from this, another thing that caught his eye was the Netherworld Heart-Breaking Sword!
Although it is not as weird as the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, in terms of attack power, it is even better. It is also the highest level magic weapon.
What is particularly tempting is that this treasure is relatively easy to refine, and once it is successful, there is no need to do more nourishment in the soul. As long as the mind is connected, it will be infinitely powerful.
Of course, blessings and misfortunes are interdependent, and there are advantages and disadvantages. The material required for this treasure is extremely precious, and it is a thing called Netherworld Cold Iron.
Nether Cold Iron is a sacred object of ghost monks. Even in ancient times millions of years ago, it rarely appeared in the world. Every time it appeared, it would lead to crazy snatching and the death of countless monks.
Demon King Tiansha also coveted this thing, but he searched all over Youzhou to find it, and magic weapons like demon flags were not suitable for him, so he had to refine the Purple Cloud Thunder Light Sword in the end.
Although this treasure also has endless magical uses, a few people know that the Demon King has no choice but to make it.
Although Tian Xiaojian's heart was as high as the sky, to be honest, facing such unfavorable material, he could only smile bitterly. However, he didn't know if it was just his luck. Just when he was depressed and wandering around to relax, he passed by Qingye Mountain. I accidentally heard that the two largest families here had obtained a treasure map. The location of the treasure was an ancient abandoned mine.
There are naturally some geospar materials from ancient times in the mineral deposits.
For example, Mother of Black Iron, Arctic Ice Crystal, Earth Spirit Fire Jade, etc...
These things would be extremely valuable to a cultivator, even at the elixir condensation stage, but Tian Xiaojian didn't take them seriously regardless of his identity.
However, out of curiosity, he continued to inquire, and even secretly captured the disciples of the two families and used the soul-searching method to read their memories. It was originally just a whim, but the result surprised him.
There is actually Netherworld Cold Iron inside!
Tian Xiaojian could hardly believe it, but after repeated confirmations, the possibility of containing this material was as high as 90%!
What's even better is that neither the Ye family nor the Liu family knows how precious this item is, so there's nothing surprising about it. Ordinary magic weapons don't use this material at all, and very few people have heard of its name.
Due to various reasons, the Liuye family has not yet gone treasure hunting, and now the treasure map has been torn into two halves, each in their hands.
