116: Sha weapon snacks, third level Sha hole! (Please read)

Xuan Dong Mountain.

Inside a stone cave Immortal Cave halfway up the mountain.

Ji Ying, dressed in a red skirt, sat cross-legged on the ground, holding a Jade Slip that was flickering with faint spiritual light in her right hand. This transmission Jade Slip contained a remote message from Old Ancestor Kuai.

After more than ten breaths, the light from the Jade Slip dissipated.

“Alas.”

Ji Ying sighed deeply.

These past few days, she hadn’t refined that Fiend Magical Artifact at all. This new Immortal Master Chi, she didn't know his Heart-Nature, and right from the start, many miners had died. If it weren't for the mutated rat demon offered by Chen Yuan, which pleased Immortal Master Chi, the consequences would have been unknown.

If Ji Ying were to openly absorb the essence, Qi, and spirit of the mortal miners, affecting the mining progress, Immortal Master Chi could easily kill her.

She was just an ordinary supervisor.

Her status, compared to a miner, was indeed high and mighty.

But in the eyes of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, she was merely a convenient tool.

Easily discarded.

Now, her former backer, Old Ancestor Kuai, sent her a message, telling her to quickly refine the Magical Artifact. In half a year, when his injuries gradually improved, he would personally come to Xuan Dong Mountain to take charge.

Ji Ying could only brace herself and refine the Magical Artifact.

The message stated that Immortal Master Kuai would also personally send a message to this newly promoted Immortal Master Chi. It was just about absorbing some essence, Qi, and spirit from mortal miners, which in Kuai Feng's view was just a matter of saying hello.

Xuan Dong Mountain, mountain peak Immortal Cave.

“Oh?”

“A Fiend Magical Artifact?”

“Fellow Daoist Kuai, the miners on Xuan Dong Mountain are all the property of the Chamber of Commerce. Every mortal Martial Artist miner purchased also cost Spirit Stones. Since Fellow Daoist instructed his subordinates to absorb the essence, Qi, and spirit of the miners, once the miners cannot complete the excavation progress, the output of spiritual Ore decreases, and it fails to meet the standard.”

“What should I do then?”

“Fellow Daoist has overstepped!”

“As for that Fiend Magical Artifact, I will keep it!”

Shi Chuan received Kuai Feng's message. Although the other party said a lot and promised some benefits, Shi Chuan was not interested. Such a small benefit wasn't even enough to fill a tooth gap, so how could he be interested?

As for the Fiend Magical Artifact mentioned by Kuai Feng, Shi Chuan was quite intrigued.

Fiend Magical Artifacts were very rare.

If the Materials were decent, it might serve as a snack for the Demonic Fiend Vine.

Immediately, Shi Chuan sent a message to Yu Jiao, who was Cultivating in the Immortal Cave.

“Master.”

Yu Jiao entered the Immortal Cave and bowed respectfully.

“Go to the Immortal Cave of Ji Ying, the spiritual Ore supervisor on the mountainside, and retrieve a Fiend Magical Artifact. If Ji Ying dares to resist, take out the corpse puppet from this corpse raising bag and kill her.”

Shi Chuan instructed Yu Jiao.

“Yes, Master.”

After receiving the order, Yu Jiao took the corpse raising bag and turned to leave. Inside the bag was a second-order corpse puppet, a Flying Yaksha.

“Reset keywords!”

“Within a thousand li radius, are there any Evil Caves that can aid Cultivation and do not pose a great danger? If not, change to Core Formation spiritual objects that can be found!”

[Successfully set new keywords.]

Shi Chuan had just entered Foundation Establishment not long ago. Although his Divine Soul was powerful and he possessed a high-grade Law Seed.

Now, with the Soul Piercing Treasure Vase in hand, his combat power was not inferior to that of an ordinary Late Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator. However, Shi Chuan's own cultivation was still a bit too low, only at the Early Stage Foundation Establishment. If he could advance to the Middle Stage Foundation Establishment within half a year.

Then driving the Soul Piercing Treasure Vase to deal with the Core Formation old demon on Qingyue Peak would be even more to his liking.

In a flash.

It was zi shi (11 pm - 1 am).

[Successfully triggered keywords.]

[Received a three-star purple intelligence.]

[Purple Intelligence: 850 li southwest of Xuan Dong Mountain, there is a hidden three-star Evil Cave. The Evil Cave was originally the death place of a Core Formation fiend demon. Over time, it formed a small Secret Realm. The Secret Realm's location is secret, and there is also a Formation set up by the fiend demon before its death. The Evil Qi has accumulated over the years, forming a three-star middle-grade quality. The incantation to open the Formation is as follows… ]

[Note: Over the years, several Foundation Establishment Stage fiend demons seem to have taken root inside the Evil Cave, but the threat is not great.]

…

“A three-star middle-grade Evil Cave!”

“What a good place!”

Shi Chuan's eyes lit up.

With this Evil Cave, Shi Chuan could advance to Middle Stage Foundation Establishment within a month.

After the Demonic Fiend Vine advanced to the Foundation Establishment level, its demand for Evil Qi also increased. In the past few days, Shi Chuan had already felt the Demonic Fiend Vine's desire to devour growing stronger and stronger.

Suppressing it like this was not a solution.

Now there was a three-star Evil Cave, and also several Foundation Establishment Stage fiend demons.

Everything was complete.

How was this a threat? This was clearly food for the Demonic Fiend Vine!

After getting the Fiend Magical Artifact from Immortal Master Kuai, he could proceed to the location of the three-star Evil Cave.

Soon.

Yu Jiao brought back the Fiend Magical Artifact she obtained from Ji Ying. This Fiend Magical Artifact was a second-order low-grade incomplete Magical Artifact, shaped like a stone bowl, with Evil Qi entwined all over it, giving off an impressive aura.

Overall, the Fiend Magical Artifact was not severely damaged. It seemed like the damage occurred during a fight, clashing with an enemy's Magical Artifact.

The subtle damage on this Magical Artifact could be repaired by absorbing the essence, Qi, and spirit of mortal Martial Artists.

Over time.

It would only take two or three years to completely repair the cracks on the Magical Artifact.

The essence, Qi, and spirit of Cultivators could also be used, but Qi Refining Cultivators had a much higher status. There were only a dozen or so Qi Refining supervisor Cultivators in Xuan Dong Mountain, far fewer than the total essence, Qi, and spirit of thousands of mortal miners.

“Good stuff.”

“Eat it.”

The Fiend Vine on Shi Chuan's back, with a few silver patterns, grew rapidly. In a flash, the vine condensed into a tiger head with sharp fangs, biting the stone bowl-like Magical Artifact and swallowing it whole.

After a few breaths.

Shi Chuan felt a warm sensation emanating from his abdomen, flowing through his entire body. After devouring the Fiend Magical Artifact, the power the Demonic Fiend Vine fed back to Shi Chuan actually had a slight Body Refining effect, and his Physical Body grew a little.

Now, the Demonic Fiend Vine had only recently entered the Foundation Establishment level, yet it could already devour second-order Fiend Magical Artifacts. If it continued to grow, wouldn't it even be able to devour three-star Core Formation Magic Treasures?

At this moment, Shi Chuan also clearly perceived the domineering nature of the Demonic Fiend Vine.

“To the Evil Cave!”

“This time, I will definitely advance to Middle Stage Foundation Establishment.”

Shi Chuan left a Clone woven from the Demonic Fiend Vine in place. This Clone had considerable strength, and ordinary Early Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators would not gain much advantage against it, unless they were Foundation Establishment Cultivators with special evil-exterminating Law Seeds that countered the Demonic Fiend Vine.

…

Five Elements Immortal City.

Deep within the Kuai Family mansion.

“Chi Xiuyuan!!!”

“A mere newly promoted Foundation Establishment Cultivator, do you really think I can't do anything to you just because I'm seriously injured!?”

“You infuriate me!”

“Pfft!”

Kuai Feng, in a secret stone chamber, who had just recovered from some injuries during this period, now spat out a mouthful of fresh blood due to extreme anger. After the blood flowed onto the ground, flesh threads grew out of it. The flesh threads intertwined with each other, quickly weaving into a blood-and-flesh shrub nearly ten feet tall, exuding a strong aura of resentment.

Kuai Feng's eyes were filled with killing intent. Although he was seriously injured and couldn't move, it didn't mean he couldn't find other Cultivators to cause trouble for Chi Xiuyuan!

After Chi Xiuyuan was seriously injured, he wanted to see if that fellow could still be so arrogant!
