Complete Fusion Spirit Tool Successfully Completed

Although the main purpose of this trip was to see the Custom Spirit Tool.

However, Xiao Chen was not in a hurry. As usual, he went to Gui Yun Market to complete the transaction first.

He previously played the role of Cai Youde, and then Closed-Door Cultivation.

In total, it's been almost a year since the Rebellious Immortal Alliance was placed in the cold.

Xiao Chen didn't need to worry that the other party would get so angry that they would turn against him.

Because they simply had no choice; under normal circumstances, very few people would be willing to take such a high risk to resell spiritual materials to them.

However, the number of transactions also affects the amount of Spirit Stone earned.

By simply acting as a middleman and passing the buck a couple of times, one can easily earn millions of Spirit Stone in profit. Such a simple and highly profitable endeavor should be pursued with a bit more enthusiasm.

In any case, don't mess with Spirit Stone.

However, before even reaching Gui Yun Market, Xiao Chen's attention was drawn to the unexpected events along the way.

Of course, this time it wasn't the Gui Yun Sect hunting down Rebellious Cultivator again.

Instead, many Wilderness Cultivators were actually stationed at various important intersections, selling pills to passing rogue cultivators.

Xiao Chen didn't even pay attention at first.

Whether it's setting up a street stall or a vendor hawking their wares, these are all very common sights in the Cultivation World.

But he quickly noticed something was wrong.

In the past, most vendors would go to the market, and others would usually gather within a radius of ten miles around the market.

You usually only encounter a handful of them when you're out there.

However, Xiao Chen encountered at least a dozen groups of vendors along the way.

Only one of them was selling refurbished magical Law Artifact; the rest were all peddling elixirs.

Since he was quite familiar with alchemy, and these vendors were only selling low-grade pills, he subconsciously took a second look.

Then Xiao Chen discovered that the pills they had were quite unique.

Generally speaking, similar elixirs should be very similar, with the only difference being a noticeable difference in luster between good and inferior products.

However, the elixirs in the hands of these vendors were a riot of colors.

Moreover, it's not that different elixirs have different colors; rather, the same jade bottle contains elixirs of different colors.

Based on Xiao Chen's understanding of elixirs, different types of pills are not suitable for mixing, so as to avoid interfering with each other's efficacy.

But what's interesting is that those vendors weren't mixing items together.

The reason why the elixirs in the bottle are colorful is because they come from different sources, and most of them are Metal Stone Pill.

The color of the finished elixir may change if the raw material, spirit ore, is different or if Impurities are not completely removed.

This means two things.

First, the local Alchemist vary greatly in skill level, and their refining techniques are even worse.

However, the Pill Formula are very rich, and different spiritual minerals can be used as the Main Ingredient to refine the same spiritual pill.

Secondly, faced with the exorbitant prices of elixirs in Gui Yun Market, independent cultivators began to seek alternatives.

Even though these colorful pills clearly have significant side effects.

However, there are still quite a few buyers, after all, these elixirs of dubious origin are cheap enough, and they seem to contain decent spiritual properties.

"Interesting."

Xiao Chen paused to observe with great interest for a while before leisurely strolling to the entrance of the market.

Before bypassing the checkpoint, I glanced at the Wanted Notice on the wall.

Unsurprisingly, I saw Lu Chengfeng's name on it.

It was also discovered that the bounty for the Sword Breaking Devil Lord had been increased by a full five million Spirit Stone.

"Huh? What's going on?"

Xiao Chen was somewhat surprised. "I haven't done anything lately, so how come my net worth has suddenly increased?"

It's important to know that once the price on Wanted Notice is set, it's generally not easily changed.

Unless the wanted person has done something significant.

The problem is that Xiao Chen has been very conscientious during this time, and has Closed-door cultivation in the Storm Sea.

So he was a little confused as to why the price could go up.

Surely something must have happened in the past ten months?

With this question in mind, Xiao Chen entered the market and used a secret code to summon Zhang Cunfu.

Then I got straight to the point and asked him what had happened in the past six months.

"Aside from the Two Major Cases, nothing particularly unusual seems to have happened during this period."

Zhang Cunfu pondered for a long time before stammering, "However, there are indeed many rumors circulating in the market, mixed up and difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood."

Xiao Chen continued to feign interest and press, "Tell me in detail what you know about the Two Major Cases."

"Including all sorts of rumors circulating in the community."

"Also, don't overlook any other unusual rumors."

In reality, he knows nothing, but by saying this, he makes it seem as if he had already heard about the Two Major Cases and was just here to verify the details.

Zhang Cunfu had no doubts and immediately recounted everything he had seen and heard in a vivid and detailed manner.

The first major case is related to Lu Chengfeng.

But he wasn't alone; many potential accomplices were also involved.

In short, the Gui Yun Sect used the pretext of investigating Remnants of Rebellious Cultivators to arrest many more cultivators for investigation.

Although it was called an investigation, it was more about extorting money and resources.

Those arrested will be released if their relatives and friends raise money in time; otherwise, they will be beheaded as accomplices of the Rebellious Cultivator Accomplice.

Most of the victims were Foundation Establishment Cultivator, with a few Golden Core cultivators also among them.

The key point is that it involves a wide range of people, so it can be considered a major case for Ze Realm Blessed Land.

The second major case was different; it was a truly significant matter.

It turns out that not long ago, a major attack occurred in the neighboring Song Shan Blessed Land.

The current patriarch of the Gong Family family, one of the local powerful clans, Veteran True Lord who has been in the Nascent Soul Early Stage for over 160 years and has a good chance of breaking through to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage within ten years.

On their way back after a routine inspection of one of their own Spirit Field, they were suddenly ambushed.

The battle lasted less than a quarter of an hour before the fluctuations in Spiritual Power subsided.

When the nearby Evergreen Sect True Lord arrived, he found that Patriarch Gong had died a violent death, and the murderer had disappeared.

After a thorough investigation of the battle scene, the Gui Yun True Monarch and True Lord Lan Yun from Ze Realm Blessed Land were specially invited to assist in the investigation.

It was ultimately deduced that the person who did the deed was none other than the Sword Breaking Devil Lord who had previously attacked and killed True Lord Hua Jian.

Who did it?

Xiao Chen was even more surprised after hearing the situation. "You mean the Sword Breaking Devil Lord went to Song Shan Blessed Land?"

This is utter nonsense!

They're practically blaming themselves!

In all honesty, Xiao Chen wasn't even here; how could he possibly ambush and kill a Patriarch of the Gong Family he didn't even know?

Moreover, given his cultivation level, even if he were to actually make a move, he wouldn't need to lay an ambush beforehand against someone at the Nascent Soul Early Stage.

Of course, none of these things matter.

The key question remains: why did the Evergreen Sect conclude that he was responsible?

And what about the two True Lord of the Gui Yun Sect? Didn't they notice anything wrong either?

Out of curiosity, Xiao Chen couldn't help but ask, "Do you know how they deduced the identity of the person who did the attack?"

To be honest, this question is a bit demanding.

Zhang Cunfu was merely a warehouse manager; he had no access to information at the True Lord level.

Naturally, it's impossible for them to know the truth at this level.

Therefore, after asking the question, Xiao Chen immediately prepared to retract it.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Cunfu answered without hesitation, "It is said that the scene is covered with traces left by Sword Qi."

"We also found a line of text, left by the Sword Breaking Devil Lord himself."

He said he was also Sword Cultivator, and unlike a charlatan like True Lord Hua Jian, he was a genuine swordsman.

"He also said that he has great respect for swords, so he dislikes the title 'Broken Sword' and requests a better-sounding title."

"The reason we deliberately didn't use Fire Method this time, but instead used swordsmanship to kill the Patriarch of the Gong Family, was precisely to prove this point."

"If we don't agree to his demands, more True Lord will be ambushed."

ah?

No way, this actually works?

Xiao Chen was immediately speechless.

Damn it, he left a message claiming to be the Sword Breaking Devil Lord, without any additional evidence. How can anyone believe such a low-level scam?

This is utter nonsense!

If even one person in the Gui Yun Sect or Evergreen Sect had any sense, they wouldn't believe such nonsense, would they?

This is clearly a blatant frame-up!

However, judging from the current situation, Gui Yun Sect has increased the bounty in the Wanted Notice, so they probably believe it.

Um... that's just outrageous.

Xiao Chen fell silent for a few moments.

Damn it, don't let him find out which bastard did this, or he'll experience what it's like for a liar to swallow a thousand needles.

Yes, the Azure Wave Piercing Bone Needle is still a needle, so there's nothing wrong with it.

Moreover, the identity of the real culprit is not hard to guess; he is most likely connected to the Rebellious Immortal Alliance.

After all, the situation in the New Cultivation World is relatively clear; it can't be that the Holy City or the Evergreen Sect ambushed and killed their own people.

Hmm... but upon closer inspection, it seems we can't completely rule out that possibility.

Xiao Chen had no doubt that they were capable of impersonating someone else and then framing them.

Oh no, things seem to be getting complicated now.

Fortunately, this matter will not affect him for the time being.

After all, no one knew that the Sword Breaking Devil Lord was actually Xiao Chen.

Even if he takes the blame for someone else, it won't cause him any immediate trouble.

"Keep an eye out for any rumors about the Sword Breaking Devil Lord in the future."

Xiao Chen pressed further, "Besides that, are there any other rumors?"

Zhang Cunfu immediately agreed, "Understood, I will definitely pay more attention to this in the future."

"There are also some ambiguous things, but I'm not entirely sure myself."

He explained again before recounting several rumors circulating among the people and news from within the Gui Yun Sect.

The rest were all trivial matters such as the potential price increase of certain spiritual items or the mistreatment of disciples by certain Elder in private.

Only one piece of inside information caught Xiao Chen's attention.

"It is said that the True Lord above have a high opinion of the Cai Family's Qilin Child and intend to specially summon him to the blessed land for cultivation."

Zhang Cunfu said, "They selected a batch of top-quality materials from me just a few days ago."

"They said they would prepare a complete set of clothing, curtains, bedding, and other daily necessities for Cai Youde, according to the standards of True Disciple."

"There are also rumors within the sect that he might be given a top-tier, Class A cultivation room all to himself."

"They said it would be for his exclusive use only."

"There's no need to decide usage time through competition, nor is there a need to take turns with others."

"Now we're just waiting for Cai Youde to emerge from seclusion, and we'll send someone to pick him up as soon as possible."

"Although such treatment sounds outrageous and unbelievable."

"But the information that's being spread so vividly seems to be insider information leaked privately by one of Gui Yun True Monarch's attendants and his friend."

"I think this doesn't seem like a rumor."

"Of course, we would appreciate it if you, senior, could discern the truth of the matter."

"By the way, I also have some connections with the Cai Family. I know two or three of their managers who sell spiritual items."

"If you need, senior, I can inquire about the situation with the Cai Family."

Is that so?

Xiao Chen was naturally unaware of this matter, but it certainly didn't sound fake.

Even though none of the True Lord from the Gui Yun Sect spoke to him last time.

Unexpectedly, they actually wanted to invite him to a blessed land to cultivate; this is not a good thing.

In Xiao Chen's original plan, since he had already come here, and there was still some time before the opening of the Vast Sea Secret Realm Inner Realm was prepared to proceed.

Then naturally, I should show my face here again and make my presence known.

Using the previous 'breakthrough in the heat of battle' as an excuse, Cai Youde, under his False Identity, was allowed to openly and legitimately break through to the Mid-stage Golden Core.

Then he would find another excuse to continue his Closed-door cultivation, but in reality, he would return to the Storm Sea.

But now, it seems inappropriate for them to continue making public appearances.

When the Gui Yun Sect extends its invitation, it will be difficult for Cai Youde, given his current status, to refuse.

But once they went to the blessed land, they would be right under the noses of several Nascent Soul True Lord from the Gui Yun Sect.

Xiao Chen wasn't afraid of them Inspector his cultivation, since he had no problem playing the role of Genius Cultivator.

The key issue is that he no longer has the ability to freely travel between the Storm Sea and the New Cultivation World without being exposed.

Putting aside other situations, let's just talk about a living person suddenly disappearing and then suddenly reappearing without triggering the Gui Yun Sect's formation.

What would happen if Gui Yun True Monarch and the others found out?

Anyone who sees this will immediately realize something is wrong!

Xiao Chen felt that if he couldn't find a good solution, it would be better not to show his face this time.

I'll keep Cai Youde in seclusion for now, and bring him out to appear later when I have more time.

Although this means the seclusion period might be a little longer.

However, it's not uncommon for Golden Core True Person to go into seclusion for two or three years at a time.

Many Foundation Establishment Cultivator also choose to go into seclusion for extended periods, which doesn't necessarily arouse suspicion.

At best, it just shows that Cai Youde's talent isn't very high, and he has some difficulty breaking through even Minor Bottleneck.

Hmm~, but this doesn't seem to align with the genius boy's expectations.

Xiao Chen frowned slightly.

They quickly decided to first retrieve the Custom Spirit Tool, and then discuss a solution with Master Cai.

Let's see if this local, shrewd old fox, can offer a good solution.

Although Xiao Chen felt that this matter was a bit difficult to handle.

But perhaps Master Cai can come up with a reason to refuse the Gui Yun Sect's invitation without arousing suspicion.

"There's no need to inquire about information."

Xiao Chen shook his head and refused Zhang Cunfu's suggestion, then handed over a Storage Ring: "I've brought the spiritual item we agreed on last time. Take it to Shopkeeper Yun when you have time."

"If there's nothing else, let's call it a day."

Zhang Cunfu accepted the Storage Ring with both hands, then respectfully took his leave.

Normally he shouldn't have left first, but this private meeting is a different story.

After he left, Xiao Chen also turned and left the market, changing direction and heading towards Clear Spring Blessed Land.

Regardless of what happens next, the priority is to get the magical Spirit Artifact that I've been waiting for.

More than half a year has passed, Shattered Gold True Monarch is still hiding in that cave, unable to make a public appearance.

This is actually quite absurd, but hopefully it won't affect the weapon-forging process.

With a hint of worry, Xiao Chen passed through the formation and arrived inside the cave.

Then they saw the haggard and emaciated Shattered Gold True Monarch.

After not seeing each other for more than half a year, the other person's eyes were sunken, bloodshot, and their complexion was dull and grayish. Their lips were pale and slightly purplish, as if they had been ill for a long time.

His entire body was weak and his aura was unstable, as if he had lost a lot of Essence in a short period of time.

The only thing that remained stable was the life force within his body, indicating that he had not suffered any serious injuries.

"Daoist Shattered Gold, are you... alright?"

This time, Xiao Chen finally asked about the other person's situation first, "Did you encounter any difficulties?"

Although he wanted to ask about the Spirit Artifact first, he couldn't just ignore such an obvious anomaly.

"Daoist Xiao has arrived!"

The Shattered Gold True Monarch appeared perfectly normal, and immediately his face lit up with joy. "I must first congratulate you, fellow Daoist, the spiritual item you brought earlier has an excellent effect in forging weapons."

"The unique properties of the Giant Elephant Essence Blood have been successfully activated."

"So, three months ago, this long-awaited Complete Fusion Spirit Tool was finally completed and is now ready for your inspection, fellow Daoist."

"Let's go look at the Spirit Artifact first; we'll talk about my situation later."

"Come, come, please come this way with me."

Since Shattered Gold True Monarch himself indicated that he would look at the Spirit Artifact first, Xiao Chen naturally wouldn't refuse.

The two of them, one in front of the other, crossed another layer of formation and two layers of Guardian Restriction, and arrived at the newly built weapon-refining room inside the mountain.

It doesn't occupy a large area, but it can be described as small yet complete.

In a space of less than a hundred feet, half of it was filled with all sorts of refining tools.

The air was thick with a dry, Fire Qi.

"To keep it in good condition, I specifically stored it inside the furnace."

The Shattered Gold True Monarch was the first to arrive at the largest refining furnace, which was also nearly ten zhang high.

This thing looks extremely complex; its surface alone is engraved with at least tens of thousands of different Artifact Inscription.

The furnace itself is an extremely complex Spirit Artifact.

As the Shattered Gold True Monarch chanted the Mnemonic, the enormous refining furnace, resembling a gourd that had been vertically sliced open, slowly unfolded its entire front half.

A ten- Eight Zhang Great Spear was revealed, being held aloft in mid-air by Spiritual Power and restrictions.

The moment it was activated, a dazzling blue spiritual light burst forth from the spear, illuminating the entire weapon-refining room as if it had turned into a blue ocean.

"Moo~!"

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Chen seemed to hear a strange roar.

Along with it came an exceptionally strong Demonic Beast Pressure, which immediately made the hairs on his entire body stand on end.

My skin involuntarily tightened, and my heart rate increased.

It was clearly a passive response to the enemy, triggered by intimidation.

His situation is already considered relatively good.

The Shattered Gold True Monarch, who was already somewhat prepared, instinctively took a step back the moment the oppressive aura struck.

Even his hair stood on end slightly, clearly startled.

"Oh dear, I didn't expect this beast's residual pressure to still be so strong. It really is Fifth-Tier Great Demon. Daoist Xiao has made a fool of himself."

The Shattered Gold True Monarch smiled, then pointed to the large spear. "This is the Complete Fusion Spirit Tool that you commissioned, fellow Daoist."

"All the materials used from start to finish have been enhanced using a fusion technique."

"As we agreed beforehand, a universal treatment was applied to the gun shaft, allowing it to absorb true energy of any attribute."

"Even when attacked by hostile true essence or even Demonic Essence, it can absorb a small portion for its own use."

"The spear's butt has a reserved slot for embedding Spirit Stone, which can hold up to ten Mid-Grade Spirit Stone at a time to provide energy and distribute some of the true essence consumed during battle."

"It highlights five key characteristics: spell penetration, armor penetration, shield penetration, invulnerability, and immortality."

"Daoist Xiao, please look. This row of Artifact Inscription corresponds to the spell-breaking Law Technique, specifically designed to counter defensive spells."

"This area to the side and the area below are both used to enhance shield-breaking capabilities. I also used combination Artifact Inscription patterns to further enhance armor-piercing capabilities within them."

"In battle, it can render common spirit shields and Spiritual Power Barrier as mere paper."

"These Artifact Inscription have been treated so that they can provide extremely strong defense even when directly attacked by Flying Sword."

"I can guarantee that, unless facing other Complete Fusion Spirit Tool, there will be no damage whatsoever during the battle."

"After its construction was completed, the entire gun body underwent nine stages of immortal tempering."

"Even if it is not wiped, maintained, and cared for by future generations, it can be stored for at least 10,000 years without any problems."

"If Nascent Soul True Lord were to provide nourishment during this period, the effective usage time could double."

"I also have a Golden Booklet here that records the entire structure of the Artifact Inscription. Even if a Artifact Inscription is damaged in the future, it can be repaired according to the Golden Booklet."

"If used properly, it can be passed down from generation to generation."

Most Nascent Soul True Lord value their family's heritage.

Therefore, the Shattered Gold True Monarch also provided a fairly detailed explanation of this aspect.

However, Xiao Chen didn't actually care about that.

He's more concerned about two issues now.

The first question is about the effects of the spiritual items I added later.

Secondly, what should this spear be called?

After all, he has trouble coming up with names.
