Chapter 72 Red Lotus Demon Slayer

Zhou Qingshan thought to himself that with such a speed of accumulating essence, upgrading the Yunding chessboard would not be a difficult task.

However, he knew in his heart that first-level exotic beasts were very rare, and the eternal daylight of the thirteenth month would not give birth to a first-level exotic beast so quickly.

He remembered that the map left by his father indicated that there were only a handful of first-level exotic beasts in the area of ​​Xipanling.

Those strange beasts that posed a serious threat to the territory had already been wiped out by my father and the old guard members.

Besides, Zhou Hu, Gao Feixue and Yan Qiu could not always be so lucky. If they encountered a poisonous beast again and they did not have the corresponding antidote, it was very likely that one of the warriors would die.

Thinking of this, Zhou Qingshan couldn't help but reflect on whether he was too eager for quick success.

"Husband, it is common for warriors to get injured. The only difference between Erhu and Feixue is their weapons. Only that strange beast can hurt Erhu." Mo Yanqiu noticed Zhou Qingshan's worry and comforted him softly.

"Weapons..." Zhou Qingshan felt a headache.

Before, when he was at the spiritual realm checkpoint, he noticed several holes on the standard long sword in Gao Feixue's hand, which was almost broken, and Erhu had even lost his weapon.

The elite guards at home use high- and medium-quality ordinary weapons, which are made of refined iron as the main material and mixed with a small amount of cold iron. They are well maintained and not easily damaged. However, ordinary weapons of this level will be scrapped at a time in the hands of incoming warriors.

There are only three mid-to-high-quality ordinary weapons left in the house, which cannot withstand such consumption.

Mo Yanqiu glanced at the armor and a pile of materials on the ground:
"Can this armor be recast? With the addition of the Gu Diao's feathers and claws, perhaps we can create a new batch of excellent weapons."

"It's difficult. The blacksmith in my family has limited skills... Forging top-grade ordinary weapons is already his limit." Zhou Qingshan thought for a moment and replied.

Mo Yanqiu thought for a while and said:
"No matter what, first disassemble this armor and give each part to Erhu and Feixue. Equip each of them with shoulder armor, arm armor, and hand guards. This way, their safety will be greatly improved when hunting exotic beasts."

"can."

Zhou Qingshan agreed to Mo Yanqiu's proposal. Such an arrangement could maximize the role of the armor.

He went on to say:
"We don't need to leave the Spirit Realm to hunt exotic beasts for now. This level of exotic beast has condensed twelve essences, which is enough for me to upgrade the Cloud Top Chessboard with half left. Add the meat of two exotic beasts, and these resources are enough to support our living needs for a month."

"It would be best if we could get support until someone from Black Cloud City comes. Then we can exchange for a batch of sophisticated weapons and protection, and then hunt the strange beasts."

When Mo Yanqiu heard Zhou Qingshan's words, he immediately understood his concerns.

If the warriors entering the country unfortunately die due to lack of sophisticated weapons and armor, it will be a great pity and not worth it.

"Come here, little guy."

Zhou Qingshan turned around and softly called the little firebird beside the red jade fruit tree.

Then he closed his eyes and focused on injecting the essence into the Cloud Top chessboard.

Deep in his sea of ​​consciousness, with the infusion of essence, a halo suddenly flashed, radiating light, and then spread out like ripples.

After the Yunding chessboard was upgraded, Zhou Qingshan checked the chess piece panel and found that the number of essences had been reduced by ten.

"Chirp." The little firebird next to him heard Zhou Qingshan's call and hurried over from under the red jade fruit tree, calling affectionately and rubbing its little head against Zhou Qingshan's palm.

The little flame bird was activated by the mental power of Zhou Qingshan and Mo Yanqiu. Although it cannot be directly used by Zhou Qingshan at present, it has already regarded Zhou Qingshan as its closest person, just like a father.

"Little guy, don't resist. I'll give you something delicious later."

Zhou Qingshan carefully picked up the little Flame Bird, whispered something, and began to silently recite the recruitment of chess pieces.

boom!
The two essences shattered and suddenly turned into a bright light, rushing towards the little fire bird and surrounding it.

The little firebird did not resist. It seemed to realize something. It closed its eyes and quietly accepted the information that emerged in its mind.

The light gradually dissipated, and the little flame bird opened its eyes, but it did not become more powerful. Success.

Recruiting Yizi went smoothly, but apart from an extra spiritual connection, there was no increase in strength.

With curiosity and anticipation, Zhou Qingshan opened the chess piece panel of Xiao Yanque to check. The information in front of him made his eyes light up and he couldn't help but be shocked.

……

【Chess piece: Flame Sparrow (only one).】

[Bonds: Four-Eyed Spiritual Eyes (Silver/Not Activated), Red Lotus Demon Slayer (Gold/Not Activated). ]

【Spirit: 0.1134. 】

[Skills: Fire of Nirvana (0/000), Transformed Spirit Soldier/Red Lotus Demon Slayer (Features: Sun Flame, Demon Slayer), Fire Phoenix Prairie Blazing Spear (Features: Burning the Sky, Super Speed, Armor Breaking)]

……

Zhou Qingshan was stunned when he saw the dense information in the skills column.

characteristic?
According to the classification of spiritual weapons in the Martial Arts Hall, ordinary spiritual weapons have only one characteristic.

But the little flame bird has five characteristics, two of which come from the origin of spiritual weapons and are innate characteristics.

The three lines come from real skills and are acquired characteristics. These should be the traces left by Yan Qiu's mother who practiced the intermediate real skill "Fire Phoenix Prairie Blazing Spear" to perfection.

Yan Qiu's lower-level true skills were cultivated to perfection, and he understood the true meaning, but they did not evolve into any characteristics on the chess piece panel. This thing seemed to be related to the mental power of a warrior at the "Raising Troops" level.

None of these characteristics are visible. The little guy's energy index is abnormally low, only 0.1, which is really ridiculously weak.

Zhou Qingshan's attention then shifted to the [Bond] column, and he discovered that there were actually two bonds listed there, one was a bond that shone with a silver luster, and the other was a more rare golden bond.

Unfortunately, both of these bonds are currently in an inactive state.

Zhou Qingshan's heart moved, and his consciousness explored deeply. Immediately, detailed information about the two bonds poured into his mind like flowing water.

【Four-Eyed Spiritual Eyes (Silver/Not Activated)】

Born with four eyes, the eyes of the soul, able to see through everything and see through illusions.

Activation conditions: Requires mental strength.

[Red Lotus Demon Slayer (Gold/Not Activated)]

The red lotus fire and the scarlet phoenix flames cleanse the universe and burn the world.

Activation conditions: At least ten soldiers must be assembled, and with the unwavering fire of "faith", the true meaning of the Red Lotus Demon Slayer can be awakened.

“Four-eyed spiritual eyes? Seeing through illusions? Doesn’t it mean you can see through the fog? Unfortunately, it requires mental power to activate the bond.” Qingshan sighed softly, feeling a little regretful about the threshold of mental power.

"Red Lotus Demon Slayer Guard..."

Zhou Qingshan turned his gaze to another golden fetter, "This seems to be a battle formation, its power is probably far beyond [Unparalleled]."

He stared at the activation conditions on the golden bond.

"Only ten soldiers are needed?!"
