Lu Yuling's new ability
Blood Drinking Jade (Inlay Material): Can be inlaid into equipment of any quality. Requires Artifact Forger level and must match the quality of the currently inlaid Magic Artifact. Effect: Life Steal +20%. Description: 20% of the damage dealt to the target is converted into the user's own HP.
No wonder Zhuge Xiang was so excited when he saw the Blood Drinking Jade. Although it wasn't Treasure Artifact, its value was in no way inferior to Treasure Artifact. In the midst of a chaotic battle, danger lurked everywhere, and one had to be extremely careful to guard against any possible attacks. Who had time to slowly heal their injuries?
However, with this Blood Drinking Jade, things are different. As long as Zhuge Xiang's attack is high and his Attack Speed is fast, and the Life Steal effect is enough to heal Zhuge Xiang's injuries, then Zhuge Xiang can go all out, without needing to defend, and attack with all his might.
The Thorn Armor reduces the opponent's defense by 30%, the Poisonous Flood Dragon Spear reduces the damage received by the user by 30%, and with this Blood Drinking Jade, it's a perfect combination. Zhuge Xiang can easily become a war maniac.
The Dragon Phoenix Ranking experts, Elite targets, only obtained this Blood Drinking Jade after killing Wu Xuefei. However, the effect of this Blood Drinking Jade is comparable to that of a powerful Treasure Artifact.
The initial probing attack ended in victory for the Asura Sect. Although it was only a probing attack, the losses on the other side were considerable, especially for the Qingxu Sword Sect. Two disciples on the Dragon Phoenix Ranking were killed, which was a significant loss for the Qingxu Sword Sect. After all, being a disciple on the Dragon Phoenix Ranking not only signifies a disciple's potential but also the reputation of the Qingxu Sword Sect.
In today's battle, the most eye-catching figure has to be Zhuge Xiang. Although Zhuge Xiang has become famous throughout Yanling Commandery because of killing Deity Transformation Stage Cultivator, he is still a newcomer who has just made a name for himself, and not many people know him. However, in today's battle, he is not even twenty years old, yet he killed Wu Xuefei, who is on the Dragon Phoenix Ranking, which naturally attracted a lot of attention.
The Qingxu Sword Sect, in particular, went to great lengths to investigate Zhuge Xiang's identity. Compared to Zhuge Xiang, although Li Ying's battle with Zhou Tai was more intense, both of them were top experts on the Dragon Phoenix Ranking, and his victory was not as impactful as that of the young newcomer Zhuge Xiang.
Upon returning to camp, Man Kui praised his disciples, then proceeded to clean up the Battlefield, gather information, and discuss tactics. Zhuge Xiang, finding an excuse, returned to his own camp, took out the Blood Drinking Jade, and after a moment's thought, removed the True King Necklace from his neck...
Zhuge Xiang did want to embed the Blood Drinking Jade into his weapon, but the Poisonous Flood Dragon Spear was Damaged Treasure Artifact. With his Beginner Twelve Grade ability, he simply couldn't equip the Blood Drinking Jade. Moreover, Zhuge Xiang already had the Azure Nether Blade in his storage space, which was a complete Treasure Artifact. Once he reached the Return to Simplicity Realm, he would replace the Poisonous Flood Dragon Spear with the Azure Nether Blade. Therefore, embedding it into the Poisonous Flood Dragon Spear was not suitable.
On one hand, he lacked the ability, and on the other hand, the Poisonous Flood Dragon Spear was only a transitional piece of equipment for the Innate Realm. In addition, the True King Necklace had the special effect of clearing all negative statuses, so Zhuge Xiang would not usually replace it. Therefore, Zhuge Xiang chose to inlay the Blood Drinking Jade into the True King Necklace.
The Blood Drinking Jade wasn't large, only about the size of a thumb. He Mo Wuyan and the others to keep their hands outside the battalion commander's office to prevent any disturbance, and then Zhuge Xiang took out One Qi Furnace and began his inlaying work alone.
Inlaying requires creating a groove without affecting the quality of the equipment. Even though Zhuge Xiang is already Beginner Twelve Grade Artifact Forger, this task is still very difficult.
Comparatively speaking, creating grooves on existing equipment is even more troublesome than forging a new piece of equipment. Zhuge Xiang was busy for three hours straight, only managing to finish when it was getting dark...
With a long exhale, Zhuge Xiang wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked down at the True King Necklace, which had undergone a tremendous change in appearance.
The silver necklace was covered with Profound Mysteries Runes, somewhat resembling Buddhist Sect mantras or strange incantations, possessing an unusual beauty. On the silver necklace was a piece of completely transparent red jade, which was the Blood Drinking Jade. As Zhuge Xiang examined it, the information about this True King Necklace also changed.
Blood Drinking True King Chain (Twelve-Star Magic Artifact): Requires cultivation Innate Realm Fourth Layer, Attack +175, Passive: Life Steal +20%, Active: Can remove all abnormal statuses from the user, Durability 125, Weight 3.
Looking at the effect of the Blood Drinking True King Chain, Zhuge Xiang nodded to himself. Although his attack power did not increase, the extra 20% Life Steal effect after embedding the Blood Drinking Jade was the most suitable effect for large-scale battles. With this 20% Life Steal effect, Zhuge Xiang's overall strength on this chaotic Battlefield would rise to another level.
When Zhuge Xiang finished inlaying the Blood Drinking Jade and equipping the Blood Drinking True King Chain, he stood up straight and walked out of his tent.
"Squad Leader Zhuge, Lu Yuling just came by. Seeing that you were busy, she didn't want to disturb you, so she left a letter and left," Mo Wuyan reported to Zhuge Xiang, who had just come out, after the battalion commander.
Although the two had a good relationship in private, on the Battlefield, they were superior and subordinate, and naturally had to handle matters strictly by official procedures.
"Oh?" Zhuge Xiang the letter left by Lu Yuling without saying anything, and unfolded it. He was slightly taken aback when he saw the words Lu Yuling had left.
Lu Yuling's words were brief, but their content was very important. In short, Lu Yuling said that after consuming the Heavenly Heart Begonia, her soul and spiritual power had been greatly enhanced. Not only did many of her past Memory and knowledge resurface, but more importantly, she gained some Divination abilities. Just now, after sensing something, she tried to Divination, only to discover that there was an ominous aura surrounding her tonight, and she was advised to be careful.
"Oh? The Heavenly Heart Begonia not only boosted her strength, but also awakened a bit of her previous Divination abilities?" With a burst of Qi Energy, the letter in his hand turned into dust and dissipated. Zhuge Xiang was secretly surprised.
Then, recalling the menacing glint she had mentioned, Zhuge Xiang became wary, but his mood was surprisingly good. Was a powerful enemy coming to deal with him? It seemed that his performance on the Battlefield today had been too outstanding. Well, the thing he feared least was someone attacking him.
Call out!
A flash of white light appeared, and Xiao Yue's small body landed on Zhuge Xiang's shoulder. It looked unwell, but having devoured so many Magic Artifacts on the Battlefield, the aura emanating from Xiao Yue was even stronger, and it was faintly about to break through to the level of Six-Star high-grade Monster Beast.
"What's wrong? You look so listless?" Zhuge Xiang asked, looking at Xiao Yue on his shoulder.
"Why don't you try practicing a Skill non-stop for three hours straight?" Xiao Yue rolled her eyes at Zhuge Xiang in a rather humane way, but then a strong look of joy appeared in her eyes. "Hehe, these past few days of busy work have been worthwhile. I can barely use the Skill you gave me, although it only lasts for five breaths."
"Oh? You've already mastered it?" Xiao Yue's words delighted Zhuge Xiang. The information showed that the Indestructible Vajra Body be maintained for 10 seconds. One breath, one inhale and one exhale, is exactly 2 seconds. Five breaths, isn't that exactly 10 seconds?
"I haven't mastered it yet, I've only scratched the surface. As I continue to deepen my understanding, I believe this will last longer and longer," Xiao Yue said modestly, but his expression was one of pride. Clearly, Xiao Yue was quite pleased that he had managed to master the Forbidden Technique of the Indestructible Vajra Body in just a few days.
"Good! With this Skill, your strength will be greatly improved! I see your cultivation is about to break through to the Fairy level? When you succeed, I'll give you a useful Treasure Artifact, how about that?" Zhuge Xiang made a promise after hearing that Xiao Yue had successfully practiced the Indestructible Vajra Body Skill.
The day I killed a Nascent Deity Transformation Cultivator, I not only obtained the Indestructible Vajra Body and the Azure Nether Blade, but also a Winged Dragon Chain, which is pet equipment.
"Are you serious? Give me a useful Treasure Artifact?" Xiao Yue's eyes lit up when she heard Zhuge Xiang's promise. There was no other way. Although Treasure Artifact for Cultivator were hard to obtain, magic Treasure Artifact that Fairy could use were ten times harder to come by.
Ask any Intermediate Artificer in the world, how many would forge Treasure Artifact for Fairy for no reason? And let Fairy forge their own Treasure Artifact? Apart from some Fairy with Special Ability and talents, getting Fairy to learn forging is as difficult as climbing to the heavens. After all, the biggest difference between humans and beasts lies in the ability to use tools effectively.
"Have I ever lied to you?" Zhuge Xiang asked Xiao Yue with a smile.
"Hahaha, alright, you said it yourself." Xiao Yue trusted Zhuge Xiang quite a bit; otherwise, why would it, as Ancient Divine Beast, follow Cultivator like Zhuge Xiang who hadn't even reached the Nascent Deity Transformation stage?
As Ancient Divine Beast, if it reveals its identity, even a Void Realm Great Expert would be willing to take it in and provide the resources it needs for growth. However, Xiao Yue is unwilling to sell its freedom.
Having already kept watch all night, Zhuge Xiang naturally didn't need to do so anymore. He found a quiet, secluded hilltop, sat cross-legged, and kept his Essence, Qi, and Spirit at their peak. Zhuge Xiang Xiao Yue didn't leave either, but instead lay beside Zhuge Xiang, closing her eyes and pretending to sleep. Zhuge Xiang still believed Lu Yuling's words, so he waited, waiting for a powerful enemy to appear.
In the darkness, enhanced by the Night Emblem, Zhuge Xiang became even stronger. He wondered what kind of powerful figure the enemy would send? Even Lu Yuling had to warn him to be careful. Zhuge Xiang was very curious and eager to see what would happen... (To be continued...)
