Chapter 361: The Ghost Tomb Sect Sounds Like It's Destined for Me
Holding the jade ball, Yan Xu instinctively opened the incense and fire system, but after seeing the changes in the system, he hesitated whether to continue refining the incense and fire instruments.
To put it simply, the incense magic instrument uses the special properties of incense to simulate a magic instrument. Since he had not practiced Taoism before, this just met his needs, because the real magic instrument needs magic power to drive it. In the absence of magic power, using incense as a consumption tool is obviously more suitable for him, otherwise it can only be a decoration.
But now he has officially embarked on the path of cultivation. It is not impossible to rely on incense and ritual implements, but he always feels that there is a layer of separation.
Even though it's just a thin layer, it makes the same difference as using a small umbrella or not. Even if it's super thin, it won't work. Others may not know, but you know there's a big difference.
Moreover, Yan Xu had no intention of following the divine path. These things would be eliminated sooner or later. After realizing this, he finally decided to refine a real magic weapon.
If the system had not been integrated, it would be useless even if Yan Xu had this idea, because he did not know how to refine magic weapons and did not have the ability to do so.
After the new system was integrated, the two systems complemented each other, allowing his ideas to be realized.
He first used the essence system to purify the jade ball and remove impurities, and then refined it into a magic weapon according to his ideas. However, this time what was consumed was not incense, but his own mana.
The magic power cannot be interrupted during the whole process. If Yan Xu's body was not filled with undigested essence of jade liquid and nectar, he would not dare to take such a risk.
The refining process went smoothly, and the huge jade ball was eventually refined into a palm-sized jade gourd.
This treasure is called Medicine Gourd, and its function is very simple. In addition to storing things, it can also extract the essence of herbs to form herbal liquid.
Although the effect of the herbal liquid is not as good as that of pills, not too much is wasted, which is just right for him who doesn't know how to make pills.
Yan Xu was not stupid in refining this as the first magic weapon. He knew that since there were spiritual veins and spiritual stones in this world, there would naturally be no shortage of various natural treasures.
If you don’t know how to make elixirs, directly extracting the essence of herbs and taking them is undoubtedly a good choice.
However, this is just a practice. What Yan Xu really wants to refine are the three egg-shaped crystals contained in the jade ball.
This thing is not a spirit stone at all, but he doesn't know what it is. He only knows that it is extremely hard and even the essence system cannot purify it, so he became interested.
There are three crystal eggs, two large and one small. The large one is as big as a fist and emits colorful light. The small one is only as big as a duck egg and its luster is just pure white, as if it is underdeveloped.
Don’t underestimate it because it’s small. Yan Xu put in a lot of effort and almost exhausted himself before he relied on the system to refine the smallest crystal egg into a shining white flying knife.
He originally wanted to take it into his body, but he didn't expect the flying knife to be so sharp that his dantian felt like it was being cut. He was so scared that he quickly took it out and hid it in the medicine gourd, intending to use a hundred herbal liquids to continuously refine it so that it would return to its original state and no longer be so sharp.
Even with the help of the system, refining this crystal egg still consumed a lot of Yan Xu's mana and time. When he opened his eyes again, it was already dark.
Putting away the weaver who was on guard for him, Yan Xu opened his bag and changed into a black Taoist robe. He also took out the Ghost Gate Flag and then restrained his blood and energy. His expression became haggard again and he slowly walked in a certain direction, leaning on the Ghost Gate Flag.
The Jade Buddha Temple's sphere of influence would certainly not be limited to Shiyu County. Yan Xu's original appearance had probably been targeted a long time ago, so he had to change his appearance, and even the Xinjin Sword could no longer be taken out.
Yan Xu, who had tasted the sweetness, did not plan to travel thousands of miles away this time, because he was very interested in the Stone Buddha Kiln.
Even if he was ignorant, he knew that the jade liquid and crystal eggs in the jade ball were definitely not as simple as spiritual stones. It was obvious that the Stone Buddha Kiln was definitely not a simple jade vein, and it must be hiding something.
Yan Xu doesn't care about money, but he can't ignore the treasures that can improve his cultivation. In other words, he is also a greedy person, but he just covets different things.
Yan Xu easily accepted this evaluation of himself. He never thought of himself as a saint, but he was not a devil either. He was not like other time travelers who subconsciously thought that good things belonged to them when they saw them, and would be guilty of a heinous crime if they did not give them. He still had some bottom line.
Fortunately, the Jade Buddha Temple does not interfere with human affairs. You can tell how overbearing they are from their work style, so there is really no psychological pressure to target them.
The problem is that we cannot take action directly. First, we do not have the strength to do so. Second, we do not know the details of the Jade Buddha Temple. If we go there and act arrogantly, we might end up provoking the ancestor of the forbidden area. The outcome would not be good. So even if we want to take action, we have to think carefully.
Moreover, judging from the scale and style of the Jade Buddha Temple, he would not believe it if there were not a few hostile forces and enemies.
The best way is to let these people take action so that he can benefit from it.
However, these require sufficient intelligence support, so Yan Xu does not plan to go away, but to Yujiao County.
Yujiao County is not far from Shiyu County and is also famous for its jade production, but there is no such powerful place as the Jade Buddha Temple that occupies the mine.
They are enemies, and the same applies to the mining industry. He doesn't believe that there is no friction or dirty work between the two counties.
Another reason is that, since Shiyu County can produce such treasures, does Yujiao County have any?
As long as there is a one in a thousand chance, it would be worth the trip.
Without the evil aura of the weaver girl, and with Yan Xu's qi and blood restrained in a special way, some blind creatures actually targeted him.
"Do you think I'm beautiful?" A female ghost in a bright red wedding dress with long hair draped over her shoulders appeared from nowhere, stared at him with a pair of dark ghost eyes, and asked faintly.
"I don't know whether it's beautiful or not, but if you don't run fast, you won't be able to do anything tonight." Yan Xu said with a helpless look and waved the ghost gate flag.
The gate on the flag was originally a green gate, but now it had not only turned dark but also looked eerie. At this moment, the gate opened a crack, and a pair of scarlet ghost eyes stared at the female ghost through the crack. The hungry eyes directly numbed the female ghost.
"Excuse me!" The female ghost was very sensible. She turned her head and turned into a ball of dark wind and ran away very quickly.
"Come back." Yan Xu didn't know what he was thinking of. He waved the Ghost Gate Flag, and the invisible suction force sucked the ghost bride who was halfway through her run back. She was almost sucked into the Ghost Gate Flag, but she was scared to death.
"I ask questions and you answer them." Yan Xu had just discovered that this ghost bride was not simple. She actually had some spiritual practice and was not just a mere ghost.
Because the threat of the Ghost Gate Flag was too great, Yan Xu couldn't help but feel lucky that the ghost bride, who was busy with Yao Xi and Hua Girl, answered every question.
This ghost bride is really not an ordinary ghost. Or rather, she was one when she was alive, but after her death she was spotted by the Ghost Tomb Sect and became the sect's soul-catcher. She specifically came out in the middle of the night to seduce strong men like Yan Xu who were walking alone at night. But she didn't expect that she would be caught this time. This man who seemed to be walking alone at night was actually accompanied by more than a hundred ghost men who became red-eyed when they saw women.
"Ghost Tomb Sect, this name sounds like it has a connection with me." Yan Xu nodded when he heard it, and then said to the trembling ghost bride.
"Lead the way. I have admired your sect for a long time and can't wait to join and contribute to the future and development of the Ghost Tomb Sect."
The ghost bride was dumbfounded. She had no idea that she had brought disaster to the sect, but she did not have the courage to refuse and could only lead the way obediently.
