Chapter 585 The Grandmaster of Weapon Forging in the Frozen Ice [8,000 words, please subscribe]

Suddenly, a seven-colored flame appeared in the deep, dark lake.

The appearance of this fire seemed to have alerted some being.

Within a black, watery eye, an old man in a red robe, frozen within solid black ice, suddenly twitched his eyelids and opened his eyes a crack.

Then his lips moved slightly, as if he were talking to someone, or perhaps he was making a silent shout.

Looking again at where the seven-colored flames rose, a fiery phoenix engulfed in seven-colored flames had appeared in the deep, cold lake water.

The white giant toad was now covered in the inextinguishable [Glassy Pure Fire], and was screaming in agony from the burning flames.

This is the moment!

While the giant white toad was desperately trying to extinguish the [Glazed Pure Fire] by channeling its internal cold energy, Zhou Chun activated the [Myriad Transformations Golden Cauldron] and unleashed the deadly move "Golden Gang Soul-Destroying Spear" once again.

A glint of golden light pierced the darkness and instantly struck the white giant toad's back, piercing its entire body and impaling it.

At this moment, Lei Jiao Bai Bai also flashed to the side of the white giant toad, and his dragon claws, flashing with infernal lightning, slammed hard on its body, injecting a large amount of lightning power into its body and dissipating its magic power.

That wasn't all. After unleashing the "Golden Soul-Destroying Spear," Zhou Chun quickly formed hand seals and cast spells, then used the "Heart-to-Heart Golden Lock" secret technique, which he hadn't used in a long time. He used the effect of the secret technique to suppress the demon core's power within the white giant toad, preventing it from self-destructing.

With these multiple measures combined, the white giant toad indeed failed to detonate its demon core.

While the white giant toad was being trapped by Zhou Chun and Lei Jiao, Yan Yu Huo Feng Fei Shang stepped forward and tore open its body with a claw, directly taking out a demon core that was flashing with white ice light!

Once the demon core leaves the body, there is no possibility of it self-destructing.

Soon, Zhou Chun imprisoned and sealed the demon soul and demon core together in a black jade bottle, then put it away with a flip of his hand.

Zhou Chun then hurriedly had Lei Jiao create a waterless space to expedite the treatment of the white giant toad's corpse. He squeezed out all the blood and essence from its body and stored it in a specially made spirit-sealing bottle to prevent the loss of spiritual energy due to improper storage.

After hastily disposing of the white giant toad's corpse, Zhou Chun put away the Fiery Phoenix, which was extremely unsuited to the environment, and then sat on the Thunder Dragon White, gazing in a certain direction and pondering.

When he killed the white giant toad, he vaguely heard a voice coming from that direction.

At the time, he was focused entirely on how to kill the white giant toad and had no time to pay attention to anything else.

"At the bottom of the abyss, in the Xuanming Water Eye, lies the opportunity to form a Nascent Soul!"

Zhou Chun carefully considered the words conveyed by the voice, and a hint of sneer appeared in his eyes.

Is the opportunity to form a Nascent Soul so easy to obtain?

Even if a normal person discovered this, why would they tell others?

Using the opportunity of forming a baby to lure me there, they must have ulterior motives!

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and immediately ordered Lei Jiao to return to Yumu Ice Lake by the same route.

That's right, after chasing the white giant toad for thousands of miles, Zhou Chun was no longer in the Fish Eye Ice Lake.

Beneath the ice field lies a well-developed water system, and Fish Eye Ice Lake itself is connected to other water systems. Zhou Chun had already entered an unknown lake within the ice field.

It's unclear where this place is located on the ice field; it might be somewhere seven or eight levels deep.

In such an unfamiliar place, Zhou Chun naturally wouldn't wander around aimlessly; he only wanted to return to the Fish Eye Ice Lake by the same route he had taken.

But just as he set off to return, the voice faintly echoed in his ears again.

"I am Yan Cang Zhenren, a grandmaster of weapon crafting. If you, fellow Daoist, can lend me a hand, I will surely reward you handsomely!"

Grandmaster of Weapon Forging!

Zhou Chun was startled, his face immediately filled with surprise.

The title of "Grandmaster" cannot be casually bestowed upon oneself; one must refine a spiritual treasure to be called a "Grandmaster."

Of course, given how difficult it is to create a spiritual treasure and how much chance is involved, many master craftsmen may only be able to create one spiritual treasure in their entire lives!

However, in any case, the weapon-refining grandmasters in this cultivation world have reached an extreme level of weapon-refining skills. As long as they have suitable materials, they can easily refine low-grade and mid-grade magic weapons.

Even high-grade and top-grade magic weapons can be crafted with high-quality materials, and there is a good chance of success.

With just this skill, a Grandmaster of Weapon Forging would be a figure comparable to a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator in any country, even a country like the Great Zhou Kingdom, and would be respected and befriended by countless high-level cultivators.

Even those Nascent Soul stage cultivators would be very willing to give them face.

After all, even an ordinary early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator would see an increase in strength if they acquired an additional top-grade magic weapon.

Moreover, most Nascent Soul stage cultivators belong to sects or families, and have a great need for low-grade and mid-grade magic weapons.

Zhou Chun originally didn't want to pay attention to that voice.

But now that the other party has revealed his background, claiming to be a grandmaster of weapon crafting, he had no choice but to stop.

He does possess several valuable items, but only a master craftsman of the level can fully help him utilize them.

For example, the fifth-tier Thunder Dragon Fang and Dragon Soul that he obtained back then, if these two treasures were crafted by a grandmaster crafting master, they would at least be a high-grade magic weapon, and there is even a considerable chance that they could be crafted into a top-grade magic weapon!

For example, the superior-grade magic weapon, the "Two Dragons Overturning the Sea Bottle," could most likely be fully restored to its original state if a master craftsman were willing to help repair it.

There's also the five-colored dragon fish that Zhou Chun killed in that secret island. Zhou Chun has never found a suitable way to deal with its dragon scales and demon core. Perhaps he could ask a master craftsman to refine it into a special magic weapon.

Furthermore, the single horn of the Thunderworm Beast in his hand also requires the intervention of a Grandmaster-level weapon refiner to ensure it can be refined into a Tribulation-Transforming Magic Treasure.

In light of this, Zhou Chun had to stop and consider whether to go and help as the other party had suggested.

Although he didn't know how a Nascent Soul cultivator could have fallen to the point where he, a Golden Core cultivator, needed to help him.

At this moment, Zhou Chun only regretted his lack of knowledge, having never heard of this Yan Cang Zhenren. Otherwise, he might have known whether the other party was truly a grandmaster of weapon refining and what his reputation was like!

"Let's wait and see if he has anything else to say!"

With these thoughts racing through his mind, Zhou Chun was no longer in a hurry to leave. Instead, he took out a spirit crystal and began to recover his magical power. He also fed Lei Jiao some pills to replenish his magical power and physical strength.

However, even after Zhou Chun had fully restored all the magical power in his body, he never received any further messages.

I don't know if it was because the other party was too exhausted to send any more messages, or if they felt that what they had said before was enough to move them, and there was no need to say anything more.

In short, this put Zhou Chun in a passive position.

To go or not to go?

Zhou Chun looked in the direction from which the sound came, and was caught in a difficult decision.

On one hand, there is an unknown danger that even Nascent Soul stage cultivators are trapped in; on the other hand, there is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet and help a Grandmaster of Weapon Refining escape.

This is indeed a very difficult decision to make.

"Alright! Let's go take a look first. If there's any real danger, I'll just relay a message for this grandmaster; I definitely won't risk my life myself!"

After hesitating for a long time, Zhou Chun sighed softly, unwilling to let go of this rare opportunity.

Having made his choice, he quickly and without hesitation sent the Thunder Dragon swimming in the direction from which the sound came.

As Lei Jiao Bai Bai swam deeper and deeper, Zhou Chun noticed that the chill in the lake water was getting stronger and stronger.

After traveling about a hundred miles, he felt the chill emanating from the water.

If a cultivator at the Purple Mansion stage were here, they would probably have to exert all their magical power to resist the chill.

Fortunately, Lei Jiao Bai Bai, being a fourth-order dragon, was able to easily resist the chill and was not affected by it.

But after they had traveled another hundred miles, the chill emanating from the water became even stronger.

Even Zhou Chun had to start using his magic to resist the chill, and even Lei Jiao Bai Bai felt uncomfortable.

After Zhou Chun discovered this, he understood why the giant white toad had fled to this place.

The white giant toad with ice attributes will definitely not be afraid of this cold, and may even thrive in it, becoming even better.

If it were to escape into a colder body of water, even if Zhou Chun summoned the Fiery Phoenix, he might not be able to subdue it!

"The Abyss of Extreme Cold, the Eye of the Dark Water..."

Zhou Chun recalled the words he had heard from the True Man Yan Cang at the beginning, and vaguely seemed to understand something.

Then his expression became very serious.

If things are really as he thinks, then continuing forward would be quite dangerous.

However, thinking of the [Moon Toad Pearl] inside his body, Zhou Chun felt relieved.

The Moon Toad Pearl itself can absorb cold energy. Zhou Chun was able to subdue the strange insect, the Heavenly Frost Frost Bee, thanks in large part to this pearl.

So if it just gets colder the further you go, it's not that he can't hold on.

After giving Lei Jiao some instructions, he let him continue forward.

After traveling another hundred miles, the lake water had turned completely black, and the coldness within was enough to freeze a late-stage Purple Mansion cultivator to death.

Upon arriving here, even a fourth-tier dragon like Lei Jiao Bai Bai had to activate its magic power to protect itself from being frostbitten!

Despite the frigid environment, the water did not freeze, which shows that the lake itself is quite extraordinary.

Moreover, although the water did not freeze, the resistance within it increased many times over.

Even a dragon like Lei Jiao Bai Bai, who is naturally skilled at controlling water, is not as fast as it was when it was chasing the white giant toad in this place.

If it were Zhou Chun himself, he would probably have to expend a lot of magical power just to walk in the water.

After traveling another hundred miles, the chill in the water intensified to a level that even Lei Jiao Bai Bai found quite difficult to endure, to the point where Zhou Chun had to activate the [Moon Toad Pearl] to dispel the cold.

Furthermore, the pitch-black lake water was like mercury, making it impossible for anyone to move around in it.

Upon reaching this point, Lei Jiao Bai Bai's innate ability to control water completely failed, rendering it ineffective.

It also needs to expend a lot of magic power to move forward!

Seeing this, Zhou Chun decisively put it back into his spirit beast pouch to rest, then activated the [Taibai Dragon-Slaying Sword] to cut through the waves and clear a path ahead, continuing forward on his own.

The subsequent journey of just a few dozen miles took Zhou Chun more energy than traveling thousands of miles.

After he had traveled about seventy or eighty miles with great difficulty, the scene that appeared in front of him greatly shocked him!

Just twenty or thirty miles ahead, a deep, dark eye suddenly appeared at the bottom of the lake.

There was pure darkness there, so dark that it could not contain any light, like a black hole!

Zhou Chun's divine sense was almost frozen and annihilated by the extreme cold just as it approached that place.

Before his divine sense was completely frozen and annihilated, Zhou Chun's divine sense discovered a piece of black solid ice within it and touched another piece of divine sense.

Unfortunately, before he could even communicate with that divine consciousness, his own divine consciousness was frozen and annihilated by the extreme cold.

Fortunately, the other party also detected his divine sense and quickly spread their divine sense to contact him.

Suddenly, an aged voice rang in his ear: "Young friend, what is your name? I am True Person Yan Cang, from the Fire Luo Kingdom!"

Huoluo Kingdom?

Zhou Chun's eyes flickered slightly, and he immediately showed a look of surprise.

He had heard of this country before, but it seemed to be located in the far west, probably hundreds of thousands of miles away from the Ice Barbarian Kingdom!

Why would this Yan Cang Zhenren come all the way from such a distant place to this far-eastern ice plain?

This seems to explain why he had never heard of the name of Master Yan Cang, the grandmaster of weapon crafting.

After all, the Huoluo Kingdom in the far west is a hundred or two hundred thousand miles away from the Great Zhou Kingdom, and it is already a completely different region.

Although he was extremely surprised, he quickly replied, "This junior, Zhang Liang, a rogue cultivator from the Great Zhou Kingdom, greets Senior Yan Cang."

"So it's you, young friend Zhang. I myself have been to the Great Zhou Kingdom and even exchanged forging insights with several master forgers there. It's just a pity that that was over two hundred years ago!!"

Master Yancang spoke calmly, as if he were talking about something very ordinary.

However, Zhou Chun was secretly shocked after hearing his words.

Judging from his words, it seems that he has been trapped here for many years!

This made Zhou Chun very curious about what caused the other party to be trapped.

Thinking of this, he simply asked directly, "Senior Yan Cang, why are you trapped here? Is there anything I can do to help you?"

"This place is an extreme abyss in the easternmost ice plains. The water eye below is the Xuanming Water Eye, from which emanates the Xuanming Cold Qi, which is extremely yin and cold, the coldest Qi in the world, with endless wonders!"

"If Young Friend Zhang cultivates ice-attribute or water-attribute techniques, after reaching the Golden Core stage, he can come here to collect this Xuanming Cold Qi and refine it into his own mana, which should increase his chances of forming a Core and Nascent Soul by half a percent!"

"Even without cultivating these two attribute techniques, as long as one can withstand the impact of the Xuanming Cold Qi, one can still refine the pure magical power of this substance and temper the physical body!"

"For us weapon refiners, this Xuanming Frost Qi is an excellent quenching agent and a superb material for crafting certain cold-attribute magical treasures!"

Yan Cang Zhenren spoke eloquently, seemingly in no hurry to discuss his escape, but instead began to explain the benefits of Xuanming Cold Qi to Zhou Chun.

Zhou Chun was indeed drawn to his words.

It can increase the chances of a half-finished core forming into a nascent soul, which is an irresistible temptation for any Golden Core cultivator!

After all, far too many so-called geniuses have fallen at the stage of Core Formation and Nascent Soul Formation.

Even those with top-grade spiritual roots and aptitude often fail to achieve the Core Formation and Nascent Soul stage.

The spiritual items that can improve the success rate of transforming the elixir into an infant are all rare items in the world and are rarely circulated on the market.

Even for Nascent Soul cultivators who have successfully formed their core and nascent soul, obtaining such a spiritual item is extremely difficult!

Therefore, although the chance of half a person transforming into a Golden Core and forming a Nascent Soul is not high, Zhou Chun believes that there will still be many late-stage Golden Core cultivators who cultivate ice-attribute techniques who are willing to go bankrupt for this item!

After all, a very real problem is that many late-stage Golden Core cultivators, even if they go bankrupt, cannot obtain even a spiritual item that can increase their chances of forming a half-Nascent Soul.

For a fleeting moment, Zhou Chun even regretted not cultivating an ice-attribute technique.

However, if True Person Yancang was not lying, even if he could not use the Xuanming Cold Qi to increase the success rate of Core Formation and Nascent Soul Formation, he could still use this item to purify his magic power and strengthen his physical body, so it was not entirely useless.

Furthermore, his spirit pets should also be able to enjoy such benefits; at least Lei Jiao Bai Bai certainly can.

Thinking about it this way, Zhou Chun felt a little better.

However, he was not in a hurry to ask how to collect the Xuanming Cold Qi, but patiently waited for True Person Yancang to continue speaking.

He's not the one who's trapped now, so he has no need to follow the other party's rhythm.

Sure enough, seeing that Zhou Chun seemed unmoved, the red-robed old man, who was frozen in black ice, also twitched his eyelids slightly.

Then, he let out a long sigh and said, "Alas! I originally came here to collect Xuanming Cold Qi to refine a top-grade ice-attribute magic weapon, but unfortunately, I encountered a Xuanming Water Python that had grown powerful. Although I managed to destroy its spirituality with the power of the magic weapon in my hand, I was also frozen by the Xuanming Cold Qi it unleashed before it died, and trapped here!"

At this point, he said rather resentfully, "If I were in another place, even if I were frozen solid, I could break free after some time. But this place is the Xuanming Water Eye, where Xuanming cold energy constantly leaks out!"

"These emanating Xuanming Cold Qi, upon sensing a power of the same origin, will automatically converge to reinforce the seal, making it virtually impossible for me to break free on my own. I can only rely on my powerful cultivation to wear them down!"

So that's how it is?

Zhou Chun's eyes flickered slightly, and he tentatively accepted the other party's explanation.

Then, quite sharply, he asked directly, "If what you said is true, senior, after being trapped here for so many years and having to be worn down by the Xuanming Cold Qi, how did you recover your magical power? Did you directly absorb and refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth?"

Upon hearing this, True Immortal Yan Cang was immediately displeased. His tone turned serious as he retorted in a deep voice, "What do you mean by that, young friend? Are you perhaps worried that I have been corrupted by the turbid evil energy and have lost my mind?"

"This junior wouldn't dare! This junior was merely curious!"

Zhou Chun quickly softened his stance, but his words implied no intention of backing down.

Whether Yan Cang Zhenren truly had no other choice or not, seeing that he had been given a way out, he could only go along with his words and say, "Young friend, your knowledge is shallow, of course you don't know, we Nascent Soul cultivators have various methods to refine that turbid evil energy!"

"Take the Heavenly Yang Fire I cultivate, for example. It is a supreme Yang fire refined by gathering the Yang Qi of the Nine Heavens. Refining mere turbid and evil Qi is naturally no problem!"

This was the first time Zhou Chun had heard this claim, and he found it quite novel, realizing that this was something only a Nascent Soul cultivator would know.

He didn't doubt that Master Yancang was lying.

Reaching the Nascent Soul stage in cultivation truly places one at the pinnacle of the cultivation world, and mastering methods to dispel turbid and malevolent energy is certainly not impossible.

Even if, as Master Yancang said, his cultivation of the [Heavenly Yang Gang Fire] can refine the turbid evil energy, it can probably only make him immune to the erosion of the turbid evil energy, and cannot help others.

Having satisfied his curiosity, Zhou Chun, to save face, tactfully offered, "Then what can I do to help you out of this predicament, senior?"

Upon hearing this, True Immortal Yan Cang immediately replied, "I sensed a burst of pure fire-attribute power from afar, which is why I didn't hesitate to expend my divine sense to send you a message. Could you please show me the True Fire Divine Power you possess?"

"this……"

Zhou Chun hesitated, somewhat reluctant to reveal the existence of the Fiery Phoenix.

Seeing his hesitation and lack of response, Master Yan Cang grew somewhat displeased and quickly questioned, "What? Is my request putting you in such a difficult position, young friend?"

"No, that's not it! It's just that the fire attribute power you sensed, senior, doesn't belong to me, but comes from one of my spirit pets!"

Zhou Chun shook his head and decided to tell the truth.

Even if we disregard the fact that True Person Yancang is currently trapped, he cannot do anything even if he knows that the Flame Prison Fire Phoenix is ​​trapped.

Given the fact that the other party is a master craftsman, a low-grade fourth-order fire phoenix beast is not worth his attention.

After all, for a master craftsman, obtaining a Fire Phoenix Feather of this caliber is not a difficult task.

Some powerful forces in the cultivation world also raise dragons, fire phoenixes, and other demonic beasts as guardian spirits of their mountains.

"Then I'll trouble you, young friend, to release that spirit pet for me to see. Perhaps my chance to escape will lie with it!"

Master Yancang naturally understood Zhou Chun's insincerity, but since it concerned his own escape, he could only pretend not to know and told Zhou Chun to release his spirit pet quickly.

Now that Zhou Chun had made his decision, it was no longer appropriate for him to drag things out and cause further displeasure.

He could only pat the spirit beast pouch at his waist and release the Fiery Phoenix.

But the place he's in now is not a good place at all.

As soon as the Fiery Phoenix emerged, it was frozen by the extreme cold and shivered all over. It hurriedly let out a clear cry to enhance its [Glazed Pure Fire] divine power, and its whole body was engulfed in seven-colored flames.

"So it's a fourth-tier fire phoenix that has awakened the [Glazed Pure Fire] divine power! No wonder its fire attribute power is so pure!"

When Master Yan Cang scanned the Flame Phoenix with his divine sense, everything became clear.

Then, in a calm tone, he commented, "Hmm, having condensed five Fire Phoenix True Feathers, this bloodline aptitude is quite good. There's a good chance they might break through to the fifth rank in the future!"

To receive such high praise from a master weapon refiner like him shows that the Flame Phoenix's aptitude is indeed quite good.

Zhou Chun was also somewhat pleased about this.

However, what Master Yancang said next immediately dampened his spirits.

He calmly stated, "I know that most fire phoenixes can forcibly enhance their innate divine power by consuming their true fire phoenix feathers!"

"With your cultivation level as a fourth-tier fire phoenix, if you were to consume two of your Fire Phoenix True Feathers at once, you could likely raise the power of your [Glazed Pure Fire] to the peak of the fourth tier. This would then be able to cause some damage to the Xuanming Frost that is sealing me!"

"At that time, I will unleash my cultivation through a secret technique. With the combined internal and external forces, there is a 50% chance I will be able to successfully break through the ice!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhou Chun's face froze.

True Immortal Yan Cang was not wrong; the Fiery Phoenix of the Fiery Prison does indeed possess such abilities.

But that's a supernatural power used desperately in critical moments; once it's used, it's like losing half your life.

Moreover, although the Phoenix Feathers that have been consumed can be slowly recovered in the future, the speed and time of that recovery will be measured in hundreds of years!

Furthermore, before the Fire Phoenix True Feathers are restored, the Fiery Phoenix's strength and cultivation will be greatly affected.

How could he possibly agree to that?

He immediately shook his head repeatedly, saying, "Senior, you jest! The Fire Phoenix True Feather is crucial to my spiritual pet's cultivation path; how can I waste it so easily!"

"In my humble opinion, perhaps you should name a close friend or fellow disciple, and I will convey your message of being trapped here to them, requesting their assistance in your escape!"

In Zhou Chun's opinion, it would be best if he could avoid having to take action himself.

After all, since the Xuanming Cold Qi could even freeze and freeze a Nascent Soul cultivator like Yan Cang Zhenren, how could he dare to easily get involved with it?

Even if the other party says that this item is extremely useful, he will not try it easily at his current cultivation level. At the very least, he will wait until he has cultivated to the late stage of Golden Core and mastered the "Nine Transformations of the Holy Spirit: Moon Toad Chapter" before trying it.

With the profound mystery of this technique, refining the Xuanming Cold Qi should not be a problem.

"I'm not joking with someone as insignificant as you!"

"Since you know I am a grandmaster of weapon crafting, you should also know that I possess spiritual treasures and numerous magical artifacts!"

"Even those who were once on good terms with me might, upon learning of my predicament, choose to take advantage of my misfortune and try to kill me for the sake of the treasure!"

"How could I possibly entrust my safety to the kindness of others!"

The majestic and powerful voice of Master Yancang echoed in Zhou Chun's heart, and his words caused his expression to change repeatedly.

Indeed, Master Yancang's concerns are not without merit.

The treasure is so coveted!

How much wealth does a master craftsman possess?

It seems that no one but Master Yancang himself can plead for him.

But that would definitely be a huge fortune that even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator would covet!

Given that True Person Yancang is currently trapped in the ice, if he were to attract a Nascent Soul stage True Person who harbors malicious intent, he would likely find it difficult to resist.

If this happens, Zhou Chun, the messenger and guide, will likely be silenced!

Thinking of this, Zhou Chun couldn't help but feel the urge to back down.

He then slowly said, "Senior's concerns are indeed not without merit, but please forgive me for not being able to agree to your proposed solution!"

He always cherished his spirit pets. The Thunder Dragon was forced to pluck its scales and bleed for nothing; there was no other way.

However, now that he holds the initiative, he cannot bring himself to let the Flame Phoenix suffer a great loss of vitality for some possible benefit.

If this were to happen, it would likely greatly affect the relationship between master and servant.

Master Yan Cang seemed to have sensed Zhou Chun's thoughts and immediately transmitted his voice, saying, "Young friend, don't rush to conclusions. Why don't you listen to my conditions first before making a decision?"

Without waiting for Zhou Chun to refuse, he revealed his bargaining chip.

"If you help me escape this predicament, I will reward you with a top-grade magic weapon that suits your attributes, and I will also forge a magic weapon for you free of charge!"

"You should know that I am a grandmaster of weapon crafting. As long as the materials you provide are of decent quality, crafting a mid-grade magic weapon is not difficult at all, and it will absolutely meet your needs!"

Master Yancang was clearly very confident about this reward.

He knew perfectly well the allure of a top-grade magic weapon to a Golden Core cultivator, not to mention the opportunity to have a magic weapon custom-made for him.

These conditions are more than enough to get a Nascent Soul cultivator to help him even once.

In the past, many Nascent Soul stage cultivators chose to owe him favors in order to have him refine magic weapons.

However, to his surprise, Zhou Chun immediately refused his offer without hesitation, saying, "Senior, you misunderstand. I don't mean to raise the price, but I really don't want my spirit pet to damage its own essence and delay its cultivation for some external things!"

Without waiting to see if Yan Cang Zhenren believed him, he immediately added, "I am a beast-taming cultivator, and I treat every spirit pet as family. Please forgive me for not being able to betray my friends for personal gain!"

Finally, he added, "Besides, I already possess a superior-grade magic weapon; having one more would be excessive!"

To this end, he even took out the "Two Dragons Overturning the Sea Bottle" to show that he was not lying.

This immediately left Master Yan Cang speechless and silent!

Regardless of whether Master Yancang believed Zhou Chun's claim that he treated spirit pets as family, the fact that Zhou Chun casually pulled out a high-grade magic weapon did indeed greatly surprise Master Yancang.

After all, he had already discovered that Zhou Chun also had a fourth-tier dragon spirit pet.

Thus, he possesses two fourth-tier demonic beast spirit pets, the Flood Dragon and the Fire Phoenix, as well as a high-grade magic weapon.

Yan Cang Zhenren felt inexplicably panicked!

He was afraid that Zhou Chun had a powerful Nascent Soul stage cultivator elder behind him, and that Zhou Chun would bring the elder back to kill him after returning!

Therefore, when he saw Zhou Chun suddenly put away the Fiery Phoenix and prepare to leave, he could no longer remain silent.

"Young friend, wait a moment! We can discuss everything, everything is negotiable!"

A few words, tinged with a hint of flattery, suddenly echoed in Zhou Chun's mind.

He almost doubted whether he had misheard!

However, he was always quick-witted and soon guessed the reason for the change in Yan Cang Zhenren's tone.

This sparked a thought in his mind, and a bold idea came to him!

Speechless. Doesn't my update deserve a few monthly tickets? Monthly tickets aren't even worth as many as some non-featured books with hundreds of thousands of words!

(End of this chapter)
