Chapter 183: Advanced Maturity?
Twinkling like a ruby, a palm-sized chunk of Firefeast Gem Lizard shell was hurled into the blazing inferno atop the Earth Furnace.
This time, Wei Suo released 26 golden toad mouths of the cauldron furnace.
As earth flames enveloped the ruby shell, it completely melted like essence metal; transforming into a clump of scarlet alluring fluid, In the midst of the flames.
Wei Suo repeated the scene, tossing another shell and melting it into the clump of red fluid. The shell swirled a little before completely melting, and fuelling the volume of ruby liquid.
After consecutively tossing 25 shells, Wei Suo paused and switched off the earth flames. He then cast his Samadhi Divine Flame skill and released a streak of Xiantian True flames, which enshrouded a massive clump of sparkling ruby fluid.
Under Wei Suo’s manipulation, the Xiantian True flames gradually pressured the ruby fluid into a flat line, before stretching it further. Ultimately, it formed into an oval shield.
Following that, Wei Suo carefully dispersed his Xiantian True flames and reopened 6 golden toad furnace mouths, and heated the oval ruby shield into a semi-liquid state.
Then, he arranged the earth flames blazing out from the furnace, and slowly propelled the ruby shield to float above the flames. Then, a streak of Xiantian True flames shot out and quickly congealed into a fine needle. With incredible deftness, the needle started swimming through the ruby shield’s surface.
Following simple strokes, several simple and unadorned talismanic patterns like tassels were fully engraved onto the shield.
Next, Wei Suo systematically closed off the earth furnace openings two at a time.
When the furnace was fully shut, Wei Suo swiftly channeled in true energy and brought the ruby shield before him.
At present, the ruby artifact shield had utterly solidified. Its front periphery was a dazzling crystalline richness, while layers of talismanic divine lights jolted through its back.
This oval shield practically appeared like it was forged with rubies from the front, and was truly an exceptionally splendorous sight.
When this artifact shield naturally cooled down, Wei Suo abruptly produced another 19 of such ruby oval artifact shields from his Treasure Receiving Pocket.
Just by circulating true energy into the ruby artifact shield before him, which was clearly a separate entity from the other 19 shields, he noticed that all 20 artifact shields unanimously floated up. Then, it segregated into three layers and hovered around Wei Suo. As he observed the 20 resplendent artifact shields revolving in this Earth Furnace room, Wei Suo couldn’t mask his excitement as his lips curled up.
As a single unit, the shield wasn’t considered amazing and only held defensive powers that of Half-Spirit class. It was pretty much like the Black Tortoise Shield. On the contrary, for a forged shield that was part of an entire set, as long as the main shield he controlled wasn’t destroyed, any damage done to the other shields wouldn’t affect the rest of the shields.
The stacked defensive might of so many artifact shields, definitely surmounted his current Spirit class Scarlet Beetle Shield or the Dark-Yin artifact robe. Furthermore, these shields could guard against assaults from all sides, where its defensive range surpassed even divine light screens.
In spite of all these, it took Wei Suo an entire 3 days to forge these artifact shields. Another two more days, would be the day he arranged to earn spiritual stones with Han Weiwei.
Upon thinking of that, Wei Suo’s lips curled sinisterly. He wondered how Han Weiwei would react once she found out they were going to hunt a mid-tier level 6 Blood Dragon.
Almost concurrently, Wei Suo thought of Nangong Yuqing. Upon thinking of this righteously sentimental and stubborn girl, Wei Suo felt a certain urgency.
Because if the Iron Policy organization discovers the core of the Black Fiend organization, and starts to clash against them, Wei Suo definitely wouldn’t watch with folded arms. Based on the fact he had slain so many Black Fiend members back at the Cyan Wind Mound, the enmity between him and the Black Fiend organization was already irreconcilable. The only long term solution, was naturally to eradicate the Black Fiend organization.
Nevertheless, that Heavenly Circuit stage level 2 Wen Daozhou was seemingly just a small ringleader. Wei Suo wasn’t too confident with his current level of cultivation.
Pondering over that, Wei Suo no longer cared for resting and immediately rushed out of the Earth Furnace room, and proceeded to the Mind Devouring Bug nurturing room.
6 days prior to this, the brain saps of those hundred plus demonic beasts had already been devoured cleanly by the Mind Devouring Bug. Indeed, the appetite of this Mind Devouring was immensely substantial.
With a concentrated glance, Wei Suo could tell his Mind Devouring Bug was still in a state of bloatedness. It seemed like the quantity of a hundred plus demonic beast was currently sufficient for this Mind Devouring Bug of his.
“Perhaps the brain tissue of demonic beasts isn’t as effective to the Mind Devouring Bug as the Demon Nurturing Liquid recorded in the Incomplete Beast Slaving Booklet?”
Wei Suo frowned as he recounted that this Mind Devouring Bug had consumed a total of nearly 200 demonic beast brains already. Moreover, the majority of them were brain tissue belonging to mid-tier level 3 demonic beasts or above. However, it didn’t seem like the Mind Devouring Bug had grown much.
“Might as well just test it.”
Doubting this, Wei Suo produced some of the concocted Demon Nurturing Liquid and placed it on one side, while he placed the demonic beast carcasses at the other side.
“This?!” Yet while Wei Suo was pondering and gathering the hundred plus brainless demonic beast carcasses, a lump caused his eyes to sparkle.
This lump, was shockingly the outer shell of the Mind Devouring Bug!
If not for the yellowish goo on the semi-transparent Mind Devouring Bug shell, Wei Suo wouldn’t have been able to discover it so quickly.
This was unexpectedly the second time his Mind Devouring Bug had moulted!
Every time the Mind Devouring moulted, its battle capabilities would upgrade substantially. This incident instantly stirred Wei Suo internally, as he commanded the lazily chilling Mind Devouring Bug to unleash a Divine Sense assault.
Pu! A transparent ripple swept out ahead from the Mind Devouring Bug.
Wei Suo’s eyes instantly widened with astonishment. He could tell that the Divine Sense assault unleashed by the Mind Devouring Bug, was completely on par with those few matured Mind Devouring Bugs back at the Cyan Wind Mound.
Such a formidable Divine Sense assault could cause a Divine Sea stage level 4 cultivator to be dazed effortlessly.
However, his Mind Devouring Bug was clearly a notch smaller than those matured Mind Devouring Bugs.
“Could it be due to such pampered nourishment, it experienced advanced maturity?”
This notion floated up his mind. It didn’t cause him to feel gloomy, but instead, caused him to snicker wretchedly within.
This was because Mind Devouring Bugs were assassination types by nature, and didn’t emphasize on overwhelming brute strength. They didn’t possess weak defense, and relied on their innate ability to launch stealth kills. Furthermore, a tinier Mind Devouring Bug would make a deadlier assassin.
“It’s best if it prematurely develops into the class of an Elder Mind Devouring Bug, and offer me another magic pearl.”
Seeing how the numerous demonic beast brains had nourished the Mind Devouring Bug, Wei Suo felt that it wasn’t at all inferior to the Demon Nurturing Liquid.
“I wonder if it will develop another special innate skill if it devours a demonic beast of the same kind?”
The elatedly dancing Wei Suo abruptly recalled how he had refined both the Earthflame Immortal Lotus and the Mythical Underworld Immortal Lotus, and cultivated his Fire and Ice Spirit Roots. Thus, such a notion welled up in his mind as well.
Wei Suo immediately produced the carcass of Wolfhead Bats and another wind element creatures from his Treasure Receiving Pocket, before tossing them into the Demon Nurturing room.
The reason he chose wind element demonic beasts and no others, was because there was far too much excess of wind element demonic beasts. Furthermore, Wei Suo had indeed stored a terribly large amount of wind element demonic beasts within those 20 plus Treasure Receiving Pockets of demonic beasts. He reckoned, it amounted to 1,800 demonic beasts.
After freeing the wind element demonic beasts to the Mind Devouring Bug, Wei Suo worked on two tasks at the same time, and concocted a batch of Demon Nurturing Liquid. Thus, the Mind Devouring Bug could drink while feasting on brain tissue.
In the next two days, apart from checking for any Flare Beacon and trimming the Immortal Exterminating Vines, he couped himself within the Earth Furnace room and practiced forging artifacts.
In those two days, Wei Suo utilized the tail feathers of Phoenix-tail Blaze Crows, and forged 30 single-use artifacts named ‘Phoenix Fireplum’.
Once he activated a Phoenix Fireplum artifact, it would explode into hundred streaks flames like the eyes of a phoenix. Its might eclipsed Half-Spirit class artifacts and could cover an area of 66 metres. Though similarly a single-use artifact, its might wasn’t something the fireball talisman, which Wei Suo started with, could compete against.
The next dawn. Wei Suo soared out from his cavern abode. As expected, faraway into the horizon, a pillar of Flare Beacon could be seen.
However, he didn’t head off to receive Han Weiwei immediately. Instead, he returned to his cavern abode, and fetched the artifacts he had forged as well as the Mind Devouring Bug. After ordering the two simple-headed blockheads not to leave the valley perimeter, to prevent themselves from being shredded asunder by the Immortal Exterminating Vines, did he ride his White Jade Crane and flew towards Cyan Wind Mound.
Even though since its inception, his cavern abode remained extremely safe and peaceful, but for an individual like Wei Suo who pursued the doctrine of ‘safety first’, he still brought along all his important goods when he went out.
As for Zhu Xiaochun and Zhen Chongming, Wei Suo decided to bring them along to Duanlong Cliff. It would be impossible to ask them to continue their closed door training. Furthermore, they were already Heavenly Circuit Stage cultivators, and would still be of use when assailing any opponent.
Nearing ten minutes past noon, a white ray descended into a dense forest of Cyan Wind Mound.
“WHAT? Wei Suo, have you gone bonkers? Hunt down a mid-tier level 6 Blood Dragon? Don’t bring me along if you wish to die.” An appalled exclamation echoed through the forest.
Chapter 183: Advanced Maturity?
Twinkling like a ruby, a palm-sized chunk of Firefeast Gem Lizard shell was hurled into the blazing inferno atop the Earth Furnace.
