Not long after, Jiang Li'an finally returned.

Although Lady Demon was unharmed from head to toe, she looked quite embarrassed. Wei Dongliu immediately knew that she was injured by the Taiyin Suming Sword.

Feeling guilty, he hurried over to ask about her well-being, with a look of concern and care on his face.

Jiang Li secretly saw that her husband cared so much about her, and was naturally deeply moved. She thought to herself that her husband's love for her was not in vain.

Wei Dongliu asked about the Yunmeng Sword Box again, and heard Witch Jiang say:

"My dear, I searched the entire back hall, but I couldn't find a flying sword, let alone the Yunmeng Sword Box... Could it be that I made a mistake?"

"Didn't find the Yunmeng Sword Box?" Wei Dongliu pondered.

This clue was provided by someone close to Changmei Xianren, who also seemed to have read it from ancient books, so it was impossible to verify its authenticity in advance.

However, Liudao's trip was not to obtain the Yunmeng Sword Box, but to prevent Shushan from obtaining the Yunmeng Sword Box, so it cannot be said that he failed to achieve his goal.

"Take it." Witch Jiang took out two more items and threw them to Wei Dongliu.

Wei Dongliu took them and looked at them. One of the objects was a dragon scale, about the size of a palm, in the shape of a maple leaf, and emitting a brilliant seven-colored luster on the surface.

Carefully running my fingers over the surface, I could feel the fine lines engraved on it. They were in the style of talismans, and the effect was very simple:

After being activated, the blood power is consumed to generate a huge dragon tail shadow, which whips towards the enemy.

In terms of attack power alone, it is far inferior to the Fantian Seal that Luo Yan got. But this item has the advantage of not needing to be injected with true essence, and can be activated by itself, so its advantages are also obvious.

The other thing was a tortoise shell, which was much larger than a dragon's scales, but its surface was gray.

If one probes into it with spiritual consciousness, one can discover extremely powerful bloodline power.

In other words, the so-called Xuanwu statue only relies on the blood power in the black tortoise's shell to provide energy, and then relies on the talismans and seals engraved on the dragon's scales to hurt people.

Um?

"A Jing." Wei Dongliu suddenly asked, "Do you think the principles of these two things are similar to the description of the Yunmeng Sword Box?"

"The Yunmeng Sword Box says that the flying sword is driven by the essence inside the sword box, without consuming the user's essence. If we replace the 'sword box' with 'armor plate' and the 'flying sword' with 'tail shadow', there doesn't seem to be anything inconsistent."

"Maybe." Kunlun Jing also thought about it, "Then what are you going to do?"

"Take it back and refine it again first." Wei Dongliu replied, "Then prepare to survive the tribulation."

Wei Dongliu has recently thought carefully about the location to undergo the tribulation and plans to choose the Donghuang Demon Realm.

The reason is very simple: Ling Yunpo can no longer show off, otherwise he will snatch Qiu Changtian's survival position. Qiu Changtian and Wei Dongliu have been in the spotlight recently and are facing threats from potential hostile forces, so neither of them is the best candidate to overcome the tribulation.

The only options are Luo Yan and Long Long. These two are relatively low-key and attract little attention from the people around them, so they can find a place to hide and overcome the tribulation.

As for why Long Long was chosen instead of Luo Yan, it was mainly because Miss Shi’s rank was much higher than that of the little fox, and she would inevitably disappear for a while to endure the tribulation, so it would be much more difficult to fool the former than the latter.

Although the Donghuang Realm is in a state of war, if I want to overcome the tribulation and advance from the Huaxing Realm to the Dongyuan Realm, I think it is unlikely that my clan will force me to go to the battlefield and not let me overcome the tribulation.

Of course, before that, the dragon scales and black tortoise shells must be refined again.

"A Jing, read the file Luo Yan!"

[Point 3: East China Sea, Penglai Yuqing Temple. ]

[Character identity: Luo Yan. ]

[The Mirror Flower and Water Moon template is overwritten, and time travel is in progress. 】

After returning to Penglai Island, which he had not visited for a long time, Luo Yan discovered that there seemed to be some disturbances in Yuqing Temple recently.

After careful inquiry, I found out that the various secret methods of various schools of thought were recorded on the Shennong Ding. Therefore, whether they were alchemists, talisman painters, or herb growers, almost all of them flocked to the headmaster, wanting to get some secret methods to enrich the Taoist tradition.

But the Shennong Ding was obtained by Wanxiang Immortal in exchange for the Fantian Seal from Luo Yan. How could he easily give away the various secrets on it for free? It happened that the Wutai Mountain Wei Demon was reforming first, so Wanxiang Immortal took the opportunity to announce that if he wanted the secrets on the Ding, he could exchange them for his sect's contributions.

But how do we calculate the contribution of this sect?

The mortal path in Mount Wutai had a very complete point contribution system. For example, if there were independent cultivators invading the northern mountainous area, there would be corresponding contribution value assessments for dispersing, killing, or even capturing them alive, and the exchange of contribution points for skills was also clearly marked.

As for the Wanxiang Immortal, he just said it casually because he was in a good mood, but everyone was so anxious that they had to go to the Xuandu Sect Master to ask how the specific "contribution to the sect" was calculated.

As a result, Master Xuandu has been staying indoors recently, but there are still people queuing up in front of his residence. They are disciples sent by the elders to guard the door for twelve hours a day. They must get the corresponding secret method before their competitors.

Luo Yan didn't bother to care about the series of troubles caused by the Shennong Ding that he had snatched back, and just concentrated on his plan to recast the treasure.

"Husband?" Shi Liuli's voice came from outside the door, "Are you there?"

"Come in."

"Regarding the sword-making technique from last time, I have some questions I want to discuss with you." Shi Liuli pushed the door open and saw the dragon scales and black tortoise shells on the table, and asked in surprise:

"Where did it come from?"

"A friend gave it to me." Luo Yan said casually.

Miss Shi's fault is this: she is too perceptive. If she were a junior or senior sister, she wouldn't have noticed it the moment she came in.

"Oh." Shi Liuli nodded and said, "Husband is planning to refine a magic weapon?"

"I guess so. I haven't decided what to make yet." Luo Yan thought that Shushan hadn't seen it, and Witch Jiang naturally couldn't confess to Shi Liuli, so he said frankly, "I want to make a magic weapon that will automatically trigger a counterattack when attacked by the outside world, and it doesn't need to consume the user's true essence."

"If that's the case, we should cast a mirror," said Shi Liuli.

"My lady, you really have a keen eye!" Luo Yan praised, thinking, do I need you to tell me this? The scales and armor are all flat, how could I not think of casting a mirror-like magic weapon?

"Have you asked Third Senior Sister?"

"Not yet. I plan to do my own research this time."

Shi Liuli said, "Oh!" and thought, what's the point of her husband refining this magic weapon? Can't she let her third sister know?

She was suspicious, but soon realized that she had no evidence and shouldn't blindly doubt her husband, so she suppressed her doubts and smiled gently:

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

Luo Yan asked in surprise:

"Madam, do you also know how to make mirrors?"

Shi Liuli: ...
