The next day at dawn, he returned to the Sword Transmission Hall.

Wen Yulong was not always present in the hall every day. Chu Liang had sent a paper crane to inquire in advance before he came.

The young man was probably still not open for business, sitting there bored. As soon as he saw Chu Liang, a bright smile immediately appeared on his clean face, “Long time no see, Brother Chu.”

“It hasn’t been that long, just a few days.” Chu Liang laughed.

He and Wen Yulong were quite familiar with each other now, so there was no need for the formalities as before.

“Time always seems particularly long when there’s no income.” Wen Yulong laughed.

For disciples like them who were in charge of the various halls, they didn’t have time to do tasks, so their ways of earning sword coins were different. For those who refined magical tools like him, they naturally relied on commissions.

“It seems that no one else has discovered your talent besides me.” Chu Liang also laughed, then took out the broken Flying Leaf Dagger from his pocket, “Take a look.”

“Ah…” Wen Yulong immediately showed a distressed expression, picked it up and carefully examined it, then his brows slightly relaxed, “Fortunately, the damage isn’t severe.”

“Last time it was just a small hole, but this time it’s all broken?” Chu Liang was somewhat puzzled.

“Hehe, you don’t understand.” Wen Yulong explained seriously, “Last time it was just a poke, but it completely destroyed the array pattern. Although it’s broken this time, the array pattern is still intact. As for the damage to the material itself, it’s easy to repair.”

“I see.” Chu Liang nodded, “I was worried that it would be more expensive than last time, now I can rest assured.”

“Hiss.” Wen Yulong realized too late, “I should have made it sound more serious, so I could charge more.”

“Young man, don’t learn these bad habits. If you want repeat customers, you have to be honest.” Chu Liang quickly instilled the correct values in him, then took out the Red Lotus Pearl, “Take a look at this and see how much it’s worth.”

Wen Yulong put the broken leaf aside, took the Red Lotus Pearl, looked at it for a while, and after rubbing it for a long time, he said, “It’s a good thing. It’s a natural treasure that has only undergone one round of rough refining and already has its current power. If I polish it again, it should be able to improve. By then, it should be worth more than two thousand sword coins. After all, it’s a magical treasure with attack power and can be used for a long time, so it will be more expensive.”

Two thousand.

This price was even higher than Chu Liang had expected.

In that case, he really made a lot of money from this trip to Glutton City. The big head worth over ten thousand, although there were signs of losing money at the moment… but after all, the value was there. The Dustless Sword was even more needless to say, Chu Liang didn’t dare to show it in front of people, afraid of being targeted by those with ulterior motives… plus this Red Lotus Pearl.

He really made a fortune.

“Huh?” Wen Yulong looked at the Red Lotus Pearl and suddenly said, “I can repair the Flying Leaf Dagger and polish this treasure at the same time, and embed this magical treasure into the Flying Leaf Dagger, adding another array pattern to it, what do you think?”

“Add another?” Chu Liang was surprised.

The small leaf now had three forms, flying form, attack form, defense form… If another one was added, wouldn’t the changes be too many?

“Yeah, maybe I can create a combination-type magical tool with endless changes in my hands.” Wen Yulong said, with a hopeful light in his eyes.

Chu Liang was not as enthusiastic as him, he was just silently weighing the pros and cons.

This kind of combination-type magical tool naturally has its advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it can combine the power of several magical tools into one, which can save a lot of mental effort when operating, and it’s more convenient to use; but the disadvantage is that if it’s combined like this, some powers can’t be used at the same time.

For example, the defense array pattern and the flight array pattern of the Flying Leaf Dagger can be triggered at the same time, but the defense array pattern and the attack array pattern can’t be triggered at the same time. If too many magical treasures are combined, it may be a waste.

So this matter needs to be analyzed specifically.

After considering the power of the Red Lotus Pearl, Chu Liang felt that it was not bad to integrate it into the Flying Leaf Dagger, so he nodded and said, “Okay.”

“Great!” Wen Yulong was eager to try.

Every time Chu Liang came, he could bring him surprises.

“I also brought back this Concealing Veil.” Chu Liang also took out the materials for the two parts of the Concealing Veil.

Now he was used to this process, as if every time he came back from an adventure, he had to integrate resources at Wen Yulong’s place.

“No problem, refining a robe is not a difficult task, I can do it for free.” Wen Yulong laughed, “But repairing the Flying Leaf Dagger is a big job, I have to charge two hundred and fifty.”

“Okay.” Chu Liang agreed easily.

When he had money in his pocket, he wasn’t always so stingy.

He was supposed to spend all his savings on buying the Human-faced Ghost in Glutton City. Who knew that he would encounter the chaos of the Beast Hall, and he killed the Human-faced Ghost on the road, achieving his goal and saving spirit stone coins. So now facing Wen Yulong, he was much more generous.

The two quickly reached a pleasant cooperation. After finishing the business, Chu Liang asked, “By the way, do you know anything about forming the Golden Elixir?”

“Ah? You’ve reached the peak of the Divine Intent Realm?” Wen Yulong immediately reacted, “Congratulations, Brother Chu.”

“Hey, I don’t know whether to be happy or worried.” Chu Liang shook his head with a smile.

“Indeed, forming the Golden Elixir is not cheap.” Wen Yulong said, “I only know some of the basics, after all, I haven’t reached the Golden Elixir Realm yet.”

“I know even less, you also know alchemy, just tell me about it,” Chu Liang said.

“Okay.” Wen Yulong nodded.

“The Golden Elixir is usually divided into upper, middle, and lower grades, of course, there is also the legendary top-grade Golden Elixir, but it’s hard to come by.” He chose his words, then began to introduce.

“For our Shu Mountain Sect’s Nine Heavens Mysterious Heart Technique, the most basic is the Nine Heavens Golden Elixir. The required materials are Green Cloud Purple Leaf, Huayang Cinnabar, Mysterious Elixir Attractor, Rootless Rain Essence, Dragon Grass Ring, and Nine Benefit Beads. These six natural treasures are not rare, they can be bought in the Sword Transmission Hall, and the price is about one thousand sword coins.””But these can only be used to refine the most basic lower-grade Golden Elixir. If you want a mid-grade Golden Elixir, you need to add two rare ingredients… Skylark Powder and Positive Yang Stone. After adding these, it can be upgraded to a mid-grade Shenxiao Golden Elixir. These two items are also provided by the Sword Transmission Hall, and they are slightly more expensive than the previous ones, costing just over a thousand sword coins.”

“We, as disciples of Shu Mountain, should at least start with a mid-grade Golden Elixir. As for the high-grade Golden Elixir, it depends on your intentions.”

Wen Yulong slowly explained while pondering, it seemed that remembering these things was not easy.

“A high-grade Golden Elixir involves the addition of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements. For example, adding a Fire Spirit Mushroom or a Liyang Pearl, which are fire-related heavenly treasures, can form a Shenxiao Lifire Golden Elixir. This is considered high-grade.”

“These materials are scarce in the Sword Transmission Hall, and you mostly have to obtain them yourself,” Wen Yulong continued.

“Finally, there is the top-grade Golden Elixir. This is based on the high-grade Golden Elixir. If you can add a divine herb called Ascension Grass, you can elevate the quality of the entire Golden Elixir by another level. However, this item is hard to come by, whether you can get it or not depends entirely on luck.”

“Brother Chu Liang?”

After he finished speaking, he found that Chu Liang was already lost in thought and hurriedly called out.

“Sigh.” Chu Liang came back to his senses, sighed, and said, “This Elixir formation is really troublesome.”

“Although it’s troublesome, it’s worth it,” Wen Yulong said. “After all, a cultivator only needs this one Golden Elixir in his lifetime, so it’s not too much to put in some extra effort.”

“Just one?” Chu Liang gave a bitter smile.

…

Returning to Silver Sword Peak, Chu Liang still felt heavy. If he wanted to form an elixir for the Golden Elixir puppet, he would have to do it at least twice.

If possible, who wouldn’t want to do it only once in their lifetime?

It would be nice if he could form two at once.

He had thought he could rest for a few days, but it seemed that he would have to get busy again, saving money, finding herbs, forming elixirs…

If he wanted to reach the Golden Elixir realm before the Shu Mountain summit, the time left for him was indeed very tight.

As he was calculating the time, he suddenly felt a jolt in his chest. This feeling hadn’t appeared for a while, but he reacted immediately.

A Soul Summoning Order?

He took out the Soul Summoning Order, and his consciousness probed into the space within, where he saw a line of striking characters.

【Fiend】:”South Direction Summoning Call.”

【Fiend】:”Gather outside the town of South Domain Mountain within seven days!”

South Direction Summoning…

Among the Eight Directions Summoning, Twenty-four Fiends, and Seventy-two Soul Summoners under the command of the Purple Gold Marquis, this South Direction Summoner was already considered a high-ranking demonic cultivator in the Nether King Sect.

What major event had happened for him to summon them?

Without him having to ask, a street runner immediately replied.

【Fifty-nine】:”Honorable Fiend, what has happened?”

【Fiend】:”All matters will be announced after your arrival. The South Direction Summoner orders all Soul Summoners under his command to arrive at the outskirts of South Domain Mountain within seven days! Upon receiving this message, you must set off immediately!”

【Sixty】:”Received.”

The news came so suddenly that Chu Liang pondered for a long time without replying. After all, once he agreed, it meant that he would have to meet them in seven days!

It was indeed a bit nerve-wracking.

After so many days without contact, why did they suddenly put so much pressure on him?

Although he could inform his sect in advance to capture all these people, for the highly vigilant demonic cultivators, there would only be one chance to cast the net.

And now, the person who was summoning was just a South Direction Summoner. The Purple Gold Marquis, who was the target of his master, had not yet appeared. Chu Liang had to weigh in his heart whether this person was worth capturing.

【Fifty-nine】:”I guess the Summoner has set his sights on some treasure in South Domain Mountain, and that’s why he’s gathering people to get it.”

【Fifty-nine】:”So exciting.”

【Fifty-eight】:”Received.”
