Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter-Chapter 265 - 119: Soul Iron Grows Flesh, Blood Crystal Creatures Awaken, Return of the Golden Cicada’s Shell

Chapter 265: Chapter 119: Soul Iron Grows Flesh, Blood Crystal Creatures Awaken, Return of the Golden Cicada’s Shell

The Blood Gold Crystal in a normal blade can absorb the owner’s emotions, even accumulating some power. For example, when a Sixth Grade Murderous Demon King wields his Blood Gold Crystal blade, he kills countless people.

Then... if this blade ends up in the Social World, it would become a Demon Blade.

The person who obtains this blade can significantly increase in strength, but will also be influenced by the blade’s Evil Qi, leading to Firewalking and even madness.

However, the slightly better quality Blood Gold Crystal only truly shines in the hands of a "Weapon Forger."

Because a "Weapon Forger" can forge a blade with a "Sword Spirit."

As for how to forge it, or what kind of spirit is the "Sword Spirit," ordinary disciples simply do not know.

After all, for them, it’s a mysterious power that deserves reverence.

But this information is enough for Li Yuan.

He had at least confirmed one point:

The "Puppet Master" can make Soul Iron Crystal grow flesh;

The "Weapon Forger" can make Blood Gold Crystal develop a soul...

The worldview has expanded a bit more.

And the reason he bought this Sleeve Blade was not because he wanted a Sword Spirit, but because when he held this blade, his comprehensive power changed from "1140-1890" to "1450-2200."

This huge span made him realize that this Sleeve Blade is truly a good blade among the Sixth Grade, whereas his Dragon Blade Spear, though quite good at the Seventh Grade, is actually rather mediocre at the Sixth Grade.

And the price of this Sleeve Blade did not disappoint him...

At the Red Ant Commerce Association, he saw that ordinary Sixth Grade weapons were about 30 taels of Blood Gold, whereas the price of this Sleeve Blade was 120 taels of Blood Gold.

Honestly, he could use such a Sleeve Blade, but it wasn’t quite as handy...

However, considering the significant boost in comprehensive power and the ease of storage, he bought it anyway.

The more important point is that weapons made of Blood Gold Crystal are not piled up in blacksmith’s where you can choose from numerous styles.

The production of such weapons is very low, therefore... the range of available styles is very small.

...

After purchasing, Li Yuan returned to the small pavilion in the mountains.

That day, another fast horse arrived on the mountain, bringing him a new mission assignment.

The letter-delivering disciple looked at this Sixth Grade Tributor with reverence.

He knew how terrifying this Tributor was.

He had also heard that the Holy Fire Palace, Mountain Hall, and even Divine Wood Hall all wanted to recruit him as a Tributor, and then... he would no longer be a Wild Honored Guest, but a real powerhouse Tributor.

So, knowing this information, every action of the letter-delivering disciple was filled with sincere respect.

"Mr. Mu Er, if you have any requests, please feel free to ask."

"No need, you can leave now."

"Yes."

The letter-delivering disciple moved away.

Li Yuan quietly watched him leave, then closed his eyes.

After contemplating briefly, he ran to the next building.

Han Feng was still recovering from his wounds. Upon seeing Li Yuan, he sighed, "Brother Mu Er has great skills, I feel ashamed in comparison."

Li Yuan laughed aloud, then said, "Brother Han, take care and recover well, when you return, I’ll tell you about my past... Perhaps I should honestly face my past."

Han Feng replied, "Good brother, I’ll wait for your return."

Leng Rou, also interested, smiled gossipingly, "Brother Mu Er, did you abandon any girl?"

Han Feng laughed, "It’s not a question of abandonment or not, if Brother Mu Er really wants to find someone to accompany him, it’s better to find someone of the same realm, only then can they truly grow old together, ordinary people... will gray with age in just a few years."

Li Yuan was silent, then left with two Seventh Grade and accompanying disciples.

This time, he was to deal with the Incense Worship Sect of two counties in Northern Land...

This was arranged by the three families of Beijiang Prefecture.

After the initial "quick attack failed," they began to stalemate with Xinghai.

Since it was confirmed that the "Incense Worship Sect" was related to "Xinghai" and "disappearances," they decided to control all members of the Incense Worship Sect. If they could be detained, they would be; if not, they would be slayed on the spot.

On the surface, Li Yuan’s journey seemed to be merely capturing the "Incense Worship Sect," but in fact, he would inevitably face Xinghai’s ambush, making it extremely dangerous...

However, the Martial Artists held the advantage openly, both in numbers and strength.

Furthermore, a Sixth Grade Martial Artist could use the Ancestral Shadow Blood to unleash Xinghai’s power, so... it was a fight they could still win.

And this time, the three families were quite generous.

The task of eliminating the Incense Worship Sect was paid at a rate of 50 taels of Blood Gold each time. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

However, Li Yuan sighed softly...

This time,

This money,

he would not take it.

...

...

Several days later.

Ghost Street.

Zhong Mansion.

The east wing of the outer courtyard had been vacated specifically to accommodate the visiting Xinghai.

Because of this matter, the Mansion Master of Zhong Mansion had been often criticized by the subordinates, yet despite the criticisms, this Mansion Master, always wearing a red robe, adopted an "intimidated" stance, allowing those visiting Xinghai to act unruly.

His subordinates were abused, yet the Mansion Master of Zhong Mansion endured it;

The fat sheep were stolen, yet the Mansion Master of Zhong Mansion let it go;

They wanted to live in the mansion, and the Mansion Master of Zhong Mansion complied...

However, when the visiting Xinghai proposed that Zhong Mansion should send people to assist in attacking various prefectures and states, the Mansion Master of Zhong Mansion refused, reasoning that... they were too weak, as these rural Xinghai hadn’t developed to the level of the Central Plains, and didn’t dare venture out.

Thus, the Mansion Master of Zhong Mansion was again labeled as "intimidated."

At this time, in a courtyard in the east wing, eerie Yin Qi grew on the outside, the cold rocky walls showing a mottled, ancient gray-white. Beyond the old-style arch gate, a dozen people sat around a round table.

This was the Xinghai responsible for "Beijiang Prefecture" affairs in the east wing.

The "Chang Qi," previously forcibly bought by Lady Yan, and the pair accompanying him were among them.
