Chapter 420: Getting by Force or by Trickery

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

After tens of breaths, the purple robbed man and the other 2 were lying paralyzed on the ground, unable to climb up anymore.

Zong Shou was scheming and dark. On the surface, their faces and skins had no signs of injuries but within their bodies, they were covered with sword wounds all over.

The items on their bodies were all taken. Those 2 outer sect bodyguards were still okay as they didn’t have much good stuff.

As for the purple robbed teen, his face was ashen white. Within his heaven and earth bag, there was at least 10 million grade 4 beast crystals worth of treasures and spiritual items...

He tightly bit on his lips, not making a word.

...Spirit and martial arts dual cultivator, grasping sword intent!

Even a fool would know that the person in front of him had an extraordinary identity!

How did he think that this person’s cultivation was faked by using an illusionary spell?

“This is the Lingjie ring? A truly good item, grade 4 magical artifact, not bad!”

Within Zong Shou’s hand was a red-colored iron ring. Such a space treasure was something that he only managed to obtain in the later stages of the god-emperor game.

It seemed like this 5 thousand feet of space was the weakest effect of this item. Only because this dumb purple robbed teen was too weak and thus unable to use the rest.

After fully spreading it out it should at least have 50 thousand feet of space. In it, there were at least 9 earth veins gathered which could be used as a moveable cave for one to cultivate within.

Naturally, if it is used within the vast habitat, to con and scam, even rob was a not bad way.

Satisfied as he placed it onto his hand. Following which he took out a token.

Only to see that on it wrote the words Xuanyang Sect 8th generation core disciple Li Zhe.

“So you are a core disciple, out of the 6th generation of the Xuanyang Sect there s an elder surnamed Li. I have offended him...”

Although he said that he had offended him but Zong Shou didn’t care at all, casually tossing the token in his hand.

At this point Li Zhe had regained some strength, his eyes flashed red as he stared viciously at Zong Shou, “I know your identity isn’t low within the common people path. But today you snatched my item, aren’t you afraid my grandfather punishing you? Without needing to attack, just one word and you will die with no place to be buried! Return that thing to me and I can treat it like today didn’t happen...”

Before his words were finished, Zong Shou took out a token and waved it in front of his face.

Li Zhe’s pupils constricted into that of a pin, only to see that on it there was the words core disciple, but it was the core disciple of the common people path 3rd generation!

A core disciple of the main sect was the same as a direct disciple of the 3 sects and 6 schools. A 3rd generation disciple was a full 3 generations higher than his grandfather!

This person was so young. Did that mean that his seniors were at least celestial path people of thousands of years old?

...How was that possible?

In the next moment Zong Shou smiled, “Why not call me great great great great senior master?”

Li Zhe’s face instantly twisted, only to feel anger stuck in his chest unable to vent it out.

He could only look at the Lingjie ring which was on Tanqiu’s hand with anger. He knew that he wouldn’t be able to get it back.

He was the one at fault. If he told his seniors, not only would the sect punish him, and removing his identity as a core disciple was the light punishment.

Comparing the powers behind them, he wasn’t the opponent of this Tanqiu.

Zong Shou was lazy to bother about this person, he had already obtained the benefits and wasn’t willing to make things tougher for these 3 poor people.

Calmly waving his sleeves like he had done no wrong, he activated that ring and dissipated this small space.

Following which he counted the spirit stones and beast crystals in the heaven and earth bag whilst heading back to the vast habitat.

In just a moment his lips curled up. His luck was not bad. to compensate later for one’s earlier loss.

With a thought, a small box appeared in his hands. Inside it slept a furry baby beast. It should have just been born, its aura was low grade 5, much weaker than that xuan yin turtle.

Only this little beast was a stone qilin! A true descendant of the qilin. Out of the 5 spirits, it was the rarest one. And this stone qilin inherited the purest earth element bloodline and had never had a spirit contract and recognized a master.

Although it was low grade 5 its value was above that of the xuan yin turtle!

However he just slightly shook his head. If he used this item to trade with his phoenix egg, along with some other thing, he would most probably agree. Why did he have to do that?

※※※※

Returning to the 1st Courtyard A, Zong Shou tossed that earth qilin baby beast to Chuxue. That kid was so happy, she was about to go crazy,

Then she was filled with trepidation. Her young master had given her 2 of the most precious spiritual beasts to her, how would she be able to repay him in the future? Why did he treat her so well?

Zong Shou didn’t bother about her thoughts, walking back into his own room. He first moved out that custom made grade 9 artifact smelting furnace and threw the hundreds of mine stone that Hanxi found from that metal swallowing beast corpse into it.

Then, he raised the fire. Although Zong Shou didn’t know blacksmithing, he knew about the strength of the fire essence stone.

He carefully tossed in 2. When they were ablaze, 2 balls of flames caused the surrounding air to become blistering hot.

However, after a full hour past, those black silver pattern stones showed no signs of melting.

Zong Shou’s brows furrowed, using true qi to wrap his hand to try to touch one of them within. When he did it felt extremely cold, no sign of temperature.

He tried adding in a few more fire essence stones to burn together. But when this grade 9 furnace was about to melt, these pieces of stone only just started to get hot.

Zong Shou was startled and entered deep thought.

“Unable to melt using fire essence stone, is it that thing? Even xuan grade spiritual ingredients should be able to be melted. The toughness of this thing and ability to take the heat, is it that thing? But these 2 things shouldn’t be in the same place...”

Spirit items of heaven and earth were split into 4 grades, heaven, earth, xuan, and huang. The spiritual metals of the xuan grade were able to be made into magical treasure level weapons! In the cloud world, ten thousand years ago, when the spiritual wave was low, it was quite rare.

He was sure that this type of black metal mine stone was considered rare even amongst the xuan grade. It was also that rarely seen weapon crafting spiritual material in his memory.

Thinking for a moment, Zong Shou took out several pill bottles, pouring the items within all into the furnace.

They were all the blood taken from those grade 7 firebirds. There were many who had god beast bloodlines which Zong Shou collected. He was originally planning to use it for other purposes.

But at this moment, he poured them all in with no care at all.

A moment later those black colored mine stones started to melt. Not long later they turned into a furnace of boiling magma.

Zong Shou was startled, following which he took in a deep breath. Is this the legendary heaven gold blood silver. How did such a thing merge with these black crystal iron?

In the next moment, he saw silver-white colored threads sucked out by Hanxi from the magma.

First, it wrapped around it, following which it started to merge into Hanxi’s layer of silver armor.

Each thread that entered would cause the color of the armor to become thicker and have more mysterious patterns. It caused the shell which looked like the heavy armor of humans to become more shining and eye-catching.

What was shocking was that the 2 pairs of knife arms grew a little longer, the knife tip became even tougher. Some teeth grew on the back of the knife which made one feel terrified.

Zong Shou’s eyes were filled with a clear understanding. The demon fire crystal ants swallowed everything. Legend had it that they relied on the mine stones and mind stones underground to raise their strength and level as well as the hardness of their armor.

Such a natural ability must have been inherited by Hanxi, only the method was slightly different and it was pickier. For example, that black crystal iron which was extremely precious to blacksmiths was like garbage in Hanxi’s eyes.

The heaven metal blood silver should be the 1st thing it chose to strengthen its body with.

Zong Shou’s gaze slowly turned weird. This small little thing was born from killing and violence, the 1st thing it chose to strengthen itself was such an unusual thing.

This heaven metal blood silver was even rarer than black crystal iron. It grew from other spiritual metals and after people discovered it, there were many vicious legends.

It needed a lot of god beast blood to be able to craft with it. Once made into a weapon, most probably it would kill numerous people. As time goes on it would become a murder weapon.

It was especially useful to the descendants of the god beasts. Even god beasts at the saint realm would be countered by it.

It was extremely sharp, after the first time it was melted it needed 10 times the heat to be able to melt it once more. It could even absorb a portion of the special quality of the god beast blood which was why it was listed as one of the hundred most special metals in the world.

This was what he read up in books in the future. As for what its exact case was he didn’t know.

Hanxi’s body wasn’t large and have absorbing for close to 8 minutes it was satisfied as it circled above the magma.

Following this, it looked at Zong Shou and sent an intent over.

Zong Shou understood as he opened the spirit beast bag, allowing the 6 eight winged flying ants to fly out from within.

Those flying ants were just grade 6. They didn’t dare to charge directly into the furnace like Hanxi, just suspending outside, allowing Hanxi to help them to merge the remaining silver-colored threads into their shells.
