Chapter 131: Chapter 29 Dan Recipe (Double update) _1

The following day, he returned to Chuan Jian Hall.

Wen Yulong didn’t preside here every day, Chu Liang had sent a paper crane to inquire in advance, that’s why he came.

Seeing Chu Liang arrive, the bored young man sitting there with a clean and bright face immediately broke into a radiant smile, "Long time no see, Senior Brother Chu."

"Not that long, it’s only been a few days." Chu Liang laughed.

Now that he was familiar with Wen Yulong, he didn’t have to be polite like before.

"Time without income always feels exceptionally long." Wen Yulong said with a laugh.

Deacon disciples like them, who didn’t have time to take on tasks and their channels to earn Sword Coins were different. For those who refined magic artifacts like him, naturally, it depended on commission.

"It seems that besides me, no one has discovered your talent yet." Chu Liang also laughed. Then he took out the broken Flying Leaf Dagger from his pocket, "Take a look."

"Ah..." Wen Yulong immediately showed a heartache and carefully looked at it. After a while, he slightly relaxed his eyebrows and said, "Good thing the damage is not severe."

"Last time it only got a small nip, but this time it’s broken?" Chu Liang was somewhat puzzled.

"Hehe, you don’t understand." Wen Yulong explained earnestly: "Last time it only got nicked, but it destroyed the array pattern thoroughly. This time although it’s broken, the array pattern is somewhat intact. As for the damage to the artifact itself, it’s quite easy to repair."

"I see." Chu Liang nodded, "Initially I was worried that it would be more expensive this time, but now I am relieved."

"Hiss." Wen Yulong realized retrospectively, "I should’ve made it sound more serious, that might’ve increased the price."

"Young man, don’t pick up such bad habits, if you want returning customers, you need to be sincere." Chu Liang hastily imbued him with the correct values. Then he took out the Red Lotus Treasure Orb, "Take a look, how much is this worth?"

Wen Yulong put the broken leaf piece aside, took the Red Lotus Treasure Orb, looked at it for a while, and fondled it, saying, "This is a good item. It’s a heavenly material and earthly treasure. Even after one rough refinements its power is considerable. If it’s refined again in my hands, it can probably be enhanced. By that time, its value should exceed two thousand Sword Coins. After all, it’s a treasure with formidable attack power and long-term usability, so it is expensive."

Two thousand!

The price is even higher than Chu Liang’s expectation.

In this case, it seems that he has made a handsome profit from the trip to Taotie City. The value of the giant brain was more than ten thousand. Although currently, it’s at a loss..... after all, it’s inherently valuable. The Dustless Sword was even more impressive. Chu Liang didn’t even dare to show it around, fearing that someone might covet it...add to these the Red Lotus Treasure Orb.

A huge windfall indeed.

"Huh?" Wen Yulong looked at the Red Lotus Treasure Orb and suddenly said, "I could repair the Flying Leaf Dagger and polish this orb at the same time and embed this treasure into the Flying Leaf Dagger to add another array pattern. How about it?"

"Another one?!" Chu Liang was surprised.

The tiny leaf now had three transformations— Flying, attacking, and defending. If another one is added, wouldn’t that be too many transformations?

"Yes, a multifaceted, combinable magic artifact might appear in my hands." Wen Yulong said, a look of eager anticipation lighting up his eyes.

Chu Liang wasn’t as passionate. He was silently weighing the pros and cons.

For these kinds of combinable magic artifacts, there are pros and cons. The advantage is that the power of several magic artifacts can be combined, which can save a lot of mental energy when manipulating, and is also more convenient to use. The disadvantage is that when using them in this way, some powers can’t be used simultaneously.

For example, the defense pattern and the flying pattern of the Flying Leaf Dagger can be activated simultaneously, but the defense pattern and attack pattern can’t. If too many treasures are combined into it, it might be wasteful.

So, one needs to analyze the specifics of any situation.

Considering the power of the Red Lotus Treasure Orb, Chu Liang thought it might not be a bad idea to incorporate it into the Flying Leaf Dagger, so he nodded and said, "Okay."

"Great!" Wen Yulong was eager to try it out.

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

"I also brought back this Concealment Gauze." Chu Liang also took out the materials for the two pieces of the Concealment Gauze.

Now he was used to this process, as if every time he came back from an adventure, he needed to consolidate resources with Wen Yulong.

"No problem, making a magic robe isn’t difficult, I won’t charge you for that." Wen Yulong laughed, "But repairing the Flying Leaf Dagger is a big job, I have to charge two hundred and fifty."

"Alright." Chu Liang agreed readily.

When he has money in his pockets, he isn’t always stingy.

He should’ve exhausted all his savings when he went to Taotie City to buy the Human-faced Mandrill. Who knew he would run into the chaos of the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall and killed the Human-faced Mandrill on the way, thereby accomplishing his mission and saving the Spirit Stone Coins as well. So, now facing Wen Yulong, he was much more generous.

The two quickly struck another pleasant deal. After they finished talking about business, Chu Liang asked, "By the way, do you know anything about Core Formation?"

"Ah? Have you reached the pinnacle of Divine Consciousness Realm?" Wen Yulong immediately reacted, "Congratulations Senior Brother Chu."

"Ah, I don’t know if it’s something to be happy or worried about." Chu Liang smiled and shook his head.

"Indeed, Core Formation is not cheap." Wen Yulong stated, "I only know some basic stuff, after all, I haven’t reached the Golden Core Realm yet."

"I know even less than you do, and you also understand alchemy, can you explain it to me," Chu Liang said.

"Hmm," Wen Yulong nodded.

"Golden Cores are typically divided into three grades: Top, Middle, and Low. Of course, there’s also the legendary Top-Grade Golden Core, but they’re rare and elusive," He cautiously started explaining.

"For instance, our Shu Mountain Sect’s Nine Heavens Mysterious Heart Technique, the most basic requirement is a Nine Heavens Golden Core. The necessary ingredients are Qingyun Purple Leaves, Huayang Cinnabar, Mysterious Pill Wonderful Guide, Rootless Rain Essence, Dragon Grass Herb, and Jiuli Pearl; these six heavenly materials and earthly treasures. These six materials are not considered rare. You can purchase them from the Chuan Jian Hall at a price of about one thousand Sword Coins."

"But these can only make the most basic low-Grade Golden Cores. If you want a Middle-Grade Golden Core, you need to add two rare ingredients; Cloud Sparrow Pills and Yang Stone. After their addition, it can be upgraded to a Middle-Grade God Thunder Golden Core. The Chuan Jian Hall also supplies these. They’re a bit more expensive than the previous ones; the total cost would be a little over one thousand Sword Coins."

"As disciples of Shu Mountain, we should at least start with a Middle-Grade Golden Core. As for Top-Grade Golden Core, it depends on your aspirations," Wen Yulong said thoughtfully. Remembering this information is clearly not easy.

"A Top-Grade Golden Core would require addition of the Yin Yang Five Elements. For example, adding a Fire Ginseng Mushroom or Licorice, both fire-attribute heavenly materials and earthly treasures, will form a God Thunder Licorice Golden Core. As it contains various forms of spirituality, it is considered a Top Grade."

"Most of these materials are rarely found in the Chuan Jian Hall. Most of the time, you will have to collect them yourself," Wen Yulong continued.

"Finally, there is the Top-Grade Golden Core. This is based on the Top-Grade Golden Core, and if you can add a divine medicinal herb, Immortal Ascending Grass, it can raise the quality of the entire Golden Core to another level. However, this herb is rare and hard to come by. Whether you can get it depends entirely on your luck."

"Senior Brother Chu Liang?"

Once he finished speaking, he noticed Chu Liang seemed lost in thought and quickly called out to him.

"Sigh," Chu Liang returned to his senses and sighed, "This Core Formation really is complicated."

"Although it’s complicated, it’s worth it," Wen Yulong said, "After all, each cultivator only needs one Golden Core in their lifetime. So, it is not too much to spend some extra effort."

"Only one?" Chu Liang gave a bitter smile.

...

Back at the Silver Sword Peak, Chu Liang still felt overwhelmed. If he wanted his Golden Core Puppet to also form a core, then he’d need to form cores at least twice.

If possible, who wouldn’t want to form the core only once in their lifetime?

If only he could form two cores simultaneously.

He had originally planned to rest for a few days, but now it seemed he had to start hustling again: saving up money, collecting medicine, forming cores...

If he wanted to enter the Golden Core Realm before the Shu Mountain Peak Conference, the time he had left was indeed quite tight.

As he was calculating the time, he suddenly felt a tremor in his pocket. This feeling hadn’t arisen in a while, but he quickly realized what it was: a Soul Summoning Order?

He took out the Soul Summoning Order and projected his Divine Sense into the space within. He saw a line of eye-catching words floating in there.

[Sha]: "Southern Region, attend the gathering."

[Sha]: "Within seven days, gather outside Zhennan Region’s Mountain!"

A gathering in the Southern Region...

The eight summoners of the Underworld King, the Twenty-four Evil Spirits, and the Seventy-two Soul-Seizing Masters under the command of the Purple Gold Marquis, this summoner from the Southern Region was a high-level demonic cultivator very close to the Underworld King Sect.

What important event would’ve occurred for him to summon everyone?

He didn’t even need to ask himself, as an instant response had already appeared.

[Fifty-nine]: "Master Sha, what’s happened?"

[Sha]: "I’ll inform everyone of the details once you arrive. As Ordered by the Summoner from the Southern Region, all Soul Enforcers under his command must arrive at the outskirts of Zhennan’s Mountain within seven days. Upon receiving this message, you must set off immediately!"

[Sixty]: "Understood"

This message was so sudden that Chu Liang hesitated for a long time before responding. After all, if he agreed, this meant that he would have to meet with them in seven days!

Making him a bit nervous.

After so many days of no contact, suddenly, such immense pressure.

Although he could warn his sect to arrest all these people, it was only possible once for these highly vigilant members of the Demon Sect.

The person currently summoning was just a Summoner from the Southern Region and their main target, the Purple Gold Marquis, had not yet appeared. Chu Liang needed to consider whether this person was worth capturing.

[Fifty-nine]: "No doubt the Summoner has spotted a strange treasure in the mountains of Zhennan Region, and that’s why he’s calling for help to retrieve it, right?"

[Fifty-nine]: "I’m so excited."

[Fifty-eight]: "Acknowledged."
