Immortality from Taming Elephant-Chapter 531 - 238: Crystal-Eyed Magical Treasure, Peacock Blood Feather, Birth of Five-Colored Divine Light (3)
"Thank you, Senior Sister."
Xu Guang was also very polite. The other person was from Jizhou and seemed to have a considerable background. It was best not to offend such individuals and avoid conflicts.
Hua Yuechan smiled gracefully and turned to leave.
Xu Guang did not leave. Coming to the Emperor Tower required spending Demon Slaying Merits, and with the remaining time, he could just refine his Martial Technique.
...
Half a month later.
All Saints Dojo.
Room No. 13, Artifact Refining Yard.
Xu Guang sat quietly in the room, looking at the massive Source Qi forging furnace before him. The Northern Emperor Yard was indeed extravagant.
This strange fire was directly drawn from an underground geothermal spring, specially used for Artifact Refining, and required spending Demon Slaying Merits as well.
The compatibility of the Golden Pearl far exceeded Xu Guang’s expectations. He originally thought it would take over a month to forge the crystal eye into an initial form, barely usable.
But unexpectedly, in just half a month, not only had the crystal eye taken shape, but it had already fully formed.
Even though the crystal eye was only a Second Grade Magical Treasure due to his current strength, the core grade of the Golden Pearl was very high. As long as he improved his strength and added some materials for enhanced refinement, it would be easy to upgrade its grade.
He wasn’t worried about that.
Next, all he needed was to merge it with his Qi Force, and wait for Bai Xiaozhu to get him the materials containing peacock bloodline, and the crystal eye would be complete.
...
The next day.
Bai Xiaozhu, who had been missing for more than half a month, hurried back from outside, covered in dust.
"Eat something first. Why does your face look so pale?"
Jiang Zi Yun warmly welcomed her.
Bai Xiaozhu gulped down a large mouthful of water, tilted her head in thanks, and then mysteriously took out a bird feather from the small deer skin bag at her side.
Xu Guang glanced at it, "A peacock feather?"
"That’s right, I was quite lucky. This peacock feather was obtained from the abode of a Third Grade Demon. Along the way, I used my previous connections to find out that a Great Demon of the peacock clan appeared around Xicheng ten years ago, so I went there with Cai.
Fortunately, General Wei was there to help me slay that incredibly difficult Third Grade Demon. This peacock blood feather was found in its abode; it was probably the Demon’s fortunate encounter. No wonder it didn’t seek alliance with higher-level demons despite having such a valuable treasure."
Bai Xiaozhu and Cai weren’t very strong, so after Xu Guang obtained the Magic Technique for refining the crystal eye from Hua Yuechan, he asked them to take General Wei along.
Bai Xiaozhu lowered her voice and said,
"Boss, this blood feather is extraordinary. It seems that in early years, those demons around Xicheng killed an offspring of a peacock clan Demon Saint. This blood feather comes from that."
Xu Guang was overjoyed.
An offspring of a Demon Saint?
This meant the bloodline was pure enough.
"Well done, Xiaozhu, don’t worry, I won’t treat you poorly. After the assessment, no matter what I get, you’ll have half of it."
"It’s actually twenty percent!" Bai Xiaozhu emphasized.
"Alright, alright."
...
Another three days passed.
Emperor Tower.
In the martial training room.
Xu Guang stood still, a crystal ball slowly rotating above his head, and a golden eyeball seemed to shimmer on top.
"Ah Wei, use all your strength and attack me!"
General Wei let out a low roar and its body suddenly enlarged. It did not hold back and directly charged like a mad bull. With its tonnage and the gravity increase brought by the All Things Magic, its momentum was like a monstrous wave.
Xu Guang remained still, and Divine Thought flowed over the crystal eye. Instantly, countless terrifying Sword Qi spread out from the crystal eye.
Endless Tribulation.
Very easily, Xu Guang could feel that after the enhancement by the crystal eye, the attack power of the Endless Tribulation didn’t increase much, but the consumption decreased significantly.
General Wei shattered the Sword Qi, and the crystal eye rotated, suddenly transforming into a dazzling array of colors.
With flowing hues, the huge impact force General Wei brought was significantly weakened before passing through the colorful curtain!
General Wei looked surprised.
"That’s enough."
With Xu Guang’s words, General Wei stopped and curiously looked at the crystal eye above Xu Guang’s head.
"Hahaha, you have General Teng to assist you, and I have the crystal eye to aid me. We’re about the same."
Upon hearing this, General Wei shook its head proudly.
General Teng was its dependent, and with its promotion to Third Grade, General Teng had also made great progress during this time. Being praised by Xu Guang, it felt very pleased.
Xu Guang then tested the other functions of the crystal eye.
In terms of defense, he had already tested with General Wei; for attack, the crystal eye couldn’t augment attacks already fortified by Extreme Soul Power, but it did save a lot of Qi Force and Divine Thought.
As for Divine Techniques, deploying them through the crystal eye could improve them by about one level.
This was enough to satisfy Xu Guang, but what pleased him most was the Five-Colored Divine Light Divine Technique. With the enhancement of the crystal eye, it could now rival Divine Techniques.
"Not bad, nearly three hundred thousand merits spent in total, but it was worth it!"
Because the Golden Pearl had been nurtured by him for many years, the Refinement of the crystal eye to absorb the peacock blood feather went very smoothly.
With the crystal eye, he could fully pose as a member of the peacock clan.
Xu Guang was very satisfied.
With the crystal eye, plus the assessment seemed to allow Martial Artists to bring their beasts, his confidence was unprecedentedly high.
Winning all battles, even in a war of attrition, was almost a certainty.
...
Xu Guang and Jiang Zi Yun arrived on a street behind the Northern Emperor Yard.
"There are freshly processed demon materials here. I plan to buy some and practice. Later, whatever you want to eat, I can make it for you."
Jiang Zi Yun said.
Xu Guang naturally wouldn’t object, accompanying her as they strolled along the street.
Unexpectedly, as they walked out of the Northern Emperor Yard’s gates, they encountered a "familiar face."
Xiao Chen looked with interest at Xu Guang and his wife, observing the direction they were heading.
"That direction should be towards the demon materials market, right? What do you suppose they’re doing there?"
"Haha, what else could it be? Buying materials, I guess. The assessment is approaching, and they’re probably too broke to buy elixirs, hoping to try their luck there."
"Every time the six institutes recruit disciples from the hundred provinces, some dark horses from obscure places are hailed as having potential of Saints, but over the years, how many have truly become Saints?"
"You’re right, Sister Han. I heard from my uncle that one disciple, acclaimed as having the potential of a Saint a hundred years ago, ended up so impoverished a few years after joining that he resorted to selling meat, specifically providing offspring for women of minor families. It’s truly laughable."
They chatted and laughed as they walked into the yard, while only Xiao Chen’s eyes revealed a playful look.
Of course, Xu Guang couldn’t hear their words, but he could sense from the weight of their gazes that they must be discussing him.
He was indifferent to it.
After all, it’s just ten days away.
After the assessment, these behind-the-back discussions should diminish.
But for now...
He intends to enjoy the joy of picking demon ingredients with Jiang Zi Yun.
