Chapter 58: Refining the Essence of the Stone

  Qin Yong narrowed his eyes, using his arm to block the dazzling light. Feeling that the light had weakened, Qin Yong put down his arm and looked over. At this time, the two elemental tattoos had merged into one. When Qin Yong picked it up again to take a look, it was completely different from before.

  Firewall LV2 Crest (2/2): Restrictive Defensive-type Air Operation Crest, summons a 3-square-meter firewall defense on both sides, half-step Wu Jing-level crest. Upgrade conditions, synthesize LV2 crest synthesis.

  Qin Yong muttered to himself, indeed, in order to synthesize an LV2 pattern into an LV3 pattern, he needed to synthesize the LV2 pattern first. However, for Qin Yong, the LV3 pattern was still a bit far off, so he didn't think about it too much. After putting away the Fire Wall LV2 pattern, Qin Yong revealed a hint of a smile. After synthesizing, one of the ten slots that were originally occupied became empty, and Qin Yong could purchase a new restricted air transport pattern. Without hesitation, Qin Yong immediately purchased an Appraisal LV1 pattern.

  Appraisal LV1 Emblem (3/3): Restricted Special Class Qi Operation Emblem, appraises Dan medicine, weapons, and materials within the Xuan level without distinction. Purchase requirements: Da Luo Halo or higher, 50 Qi operation points.

  Qin Yong now only has 200 aura points left, and after buying the Appraisal LV1 badge, he is left with only 150 aura points. As for this, Qin Yong can only shrug his shoulders, special aura badges are very useful in certain situations, but their prices are among the highest among restricted aura badges.

  Now, Qin Yong can only hope that the iron material will not disappoint him. At this time, Qin Yong's purpose for entering the Air Transport Seal Shop has been achieved, so he leaves the shop. In a flash, Qin Yong has returned to normal and looks at the outside world which still hasn't changed, nor did he care.

  The iron block was originally hidden by Qin Yong and placed in his bag. Now that he had the Appraisal LV1 emblem, he took it out again. After placing it on the ground, Qin Yong immediately used the Appraisal LV1 emblem, and a weak light shot out from the emblem in front of him, entering the iron block. Soon, a piece of knowledge about mineral materials appeared in Qin Yong's mind, which was the relevant information about the iron block.

  "It turned out that this piece of iron ore was a kind of material called Stone Core Ore, which was an excellent material for casting various weapons." Qin Yong looked at the Stone Core Ore with clarity.

  Jade within stone, as the name suggests, is the essence of a rock, an extremely hard material. When cast into weapons, they are not only handy in the hands of martial artists but also have excellent toughness. If crafted by a skilled blacksmith, even the lowest quality would be a top-grade ordinary sword, capable of cutting through iron like mud. And if inscribed with talismans by a master engraver, it could become an Arcane Device, a treasure coveted by even the most powerful martial artists in the Mystic Realm.

  "It's just that the Wind Cloud Sword Technique requires a sword, obtained from the Yunhai Sect, at most it's only a mid-grade ordinary sword, completely unable to bring out the full power of the Wind Cloud Sword Technique. This stone core ore is just in time, can be used to cast a handy sword." Qin Yong looked at the stone core ore, his heart slightly delighted.

  This small piece, casting a dagger is almost enough, wanting to cast a complete sword is simply impossible. However, Qin Yong doesn't need to completely use the Stone Core Ore to cast a sword either. That would be too heavy, and for Qin Yong now, it would instead affect the display of his Wind Cloud Sword Technique.

  The Wind Cloud Swordsmanship emphasizes speed, precision and ruthlessness. If the sword is too heavy, it can only be used for slow sword techniques. Qin Yong managed to wield it by using the Air Transport Seal, but mastering it would be difficult. Now, with the main material being stone core ore and adding other mineral materials as auxiliary, a decent ordinary sword can be forged, at worst an upper-grade one. An upper-grade ordinary sword can already be engraved with inscriptions, thus advancing to become a Mysterious Device.

  Qin Yong's current strength, using this heavy weapon is just right, and when his cultivation improves further, it will be completely problem-free. The sword moves lightly, Qin Yong can fully exert its power, so for the weight of the Stone Essence Ore, Qin Yong not only didn't feel distressed, but was extremely delighted instead.

  After collecting the fine ore from this stone, Qin Yong finally stopped, no matter how good the fine ore was and how much more he could get with one sword, he had to wait until he returned to Yunhai Sect before he could find someone to cast it. As an outer sect disciple, one of the resource benefits that can be enjoyed is finding good mineral materials. If you don't want to contribute to the sect in exchange for contribution points, you can go find a blacksmith within the sect and have them cast a weapon.

  These blacksmiths, apart from the disciples who learned these skills and went out to find work, also have some provided by the sect, with a reputation that is absolutely reliable. At least for materials of Xuan rank or lower, they won't be greedy, and can be trusted. After Qin Yong returned, he was looking for this kind of blacksmith.

  After picking up the refined ore, Qin Yong sat back in his original position and picked up the two roasted bear paws. The aroma of meat wafted up to his nose, and Qin Yong's mouth was already watering uncontrollably. At this time, he took a bite, and the juice flowed out from inside the meat, filling his mouth with freshness.

  It's indeed extremely delicious, even for an amateur like Qin Yong who didn't add any seasonings or ingredients, it still tasted great. Qin Yong finished one bear paw in just a few bites and wasn't full yet, so he immediately started eating another one. This time, apart from the original meaty flavor of the bear paw, there was also a faint sweetness that made the overall flavor even stronger.

  Qin Yong was taken aback at first, then reacted and realized that he was now eating the right palm. It is said that bears love to dig beehives, eat the honey inside, and it seems that this sleepy bear, although it has become a demon beast, still retains this nature. This right palm should be the hand it uses to dig beehives, often holding honey and being stung by bees, so the sweetness of the honey is also on this bear's paw.

  Qin Yong swallowed the food with a loud gulp, and suddenly let out a heavy burp. He had never felt such happiness before. At this time, Qin Yong felt sticky around his mouth, wiped it clean, and only then realized that he had eaten too quickly, getting sauce all over his mouth. Looking around him one more time, Qin Yong burst into loud laughter.

  The tiger meat was almost gone, just in time for the hibernating bear's meat to supplement it, although it couldn't compare to bear paws, but it wouldn't be too bad either. After Qin Yong took the bear meat, he sat down and started cultivating. The blood energy contained in the two meals of demon beast meat was absorbed by Qin Yong, and now his cultivation speed had increased by 1.5 times due to the special state of his replenished qi and blood.

  Adding the tripled effect of Qin's own strength, plus the doubled amplification from the Qi Ling Dan, his cultivation speed reached 7.5 times its original rate. With no need to rush on their journey, and being in the domain of the sleepy bear where they didn't have to worry about being disturbed, Qin began to cultivate with ease.

  This cultivation, another night passed, the second day dawned, Qin Yong woke up from his meditation. Refreshed and invigorated, he felt that he was not far from reaching the 8th level of Qi Wu Realm, perhaps in just a few days after returning to Yunhai Sect, he could break through. Qin Yong thought with relish, no longer reluctant to leave this place, and set off once again.

  Half a day after Qin Yong left, someone else came here. If Qin Yong was still here, he would definitely be surprised to recognize them. The ones who arrived were none other than Cai Feiyun and Xu Donglin's four people.
