Chapter 644: Treasures to Survive the Tribulation

With the Jiuyou City being sealed again, the haze hanging over Guixu City finally dissipated.

In the City Lord's Mansion, Ning Tianyi ordered a three-day and three-night spirit wine banquet to celebrate the success of the battle of Jiuyou City. At the banquet, he publicly announced that Ning Daoran was a permanent guest of Guixu City. All consumption in Guixu City would be paid by him, the City Lord, which was considered to be a lot of substantial benefits for Ning Daoran.

But at this moment, Ning Daoran was thinking about something else.

He has been at the top of the Demon Killing List for twenty years, which is in line with the rules of the Demon Killing List, so he decided to go to the Demon Killing List to find out what's going on.

…

late at night.

A figure in a green shirt appeared under the Demon Killing List. An old man greeted him and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Ning, long time no see. I heard that you have made extraordinary achievements in the Nine Nether City. I would like to congratulate you!"

"Thank you, fellow Taoist."

Ning Daoran nodded slightly, then took off the demon-killing token from his waist and said in a voice transmission: "Ning wants to ask, how can I claim the Heavenly Dao inheritance that ranks first on the demon-killing list?"

"ah?"

The old man's heart trembled, and he immediately understood everything.

It turned out that the "Big Monkey of Flower and Fruit Mountain" who was ranked first on the Monster Killing List was actually this Jianjia Sanren! He said without any extra words, "Please follow me to the Monster Killing List."

"good."

The old man turned around and placed his hands on the jade pillar behind him where the Demon Killing List was located. Suddenly, wisps of marks spread out, and ripples appeared where his hands touched. He smiled and said, "Follow me", and then turned around and walked into the Demon Killing List.

Ning Daoran stepped in without hesitation.

“Buzz~~~”

The moment you enter the Demon Killing List, it’s like stepping into a world of spiritual weapons.

When Ning Daoran looked up, he found himself standing in a vast space. It was pitch black all around, with only the sky full of stars. Everything between heaven and earth seemed to exude a strong power of heaven.

"Fellow Daoist Ning."

The old man said, "This is the world of the Demon Killing List. My friend can obtain the inheritance of the Heavenly Dao by offering the Demon Killing Token. This is a top-secret place, and I cannot accompany you, lest you be strangled by the Heavenly Dao. I will take my leave now!"

He clasped his fists lightly and floated away.

Ning Daoran was the only one left in the entire spirit space.

"young people."

Suddenly, an extremely old voice was heard in the air: "You have been ranked first on the Demon Killing Ranking for twenty years. You have the opportunity to obtain the Heavenly Dao inheritance in the Demon Killing Ranking. What do you need?"

"I……"

Ning Daoran frowned, "I only heard that the first place on the Demon Killing Ranking can obtain the Heavenly Dao inheritance, but I don't know what this Heavenly Dao inheritance is. Since you asked me this, I really don't know how to answer."

"snort!"

In the wind, the old man's voice was a little teasing: "You are quite honest, kid."

As he spoke, a wisp of spiritual wind gathered in the air and in the blink of an eye transformed into a figure several feet tall. It was an old man wearing a gray short shirt and holding a golden hammer in his hand.

This person is the weapon spirit of the Demon Killer List! Ning Daoran frowned, feeling quite suspicious. How come this weapon spirit of the Demon Killer List doesn't look so immortal, but a bit like an old blacksmith who has been smoked all year round? "You guessed it right. I was indeed a blacksmith when I was alive, and a godly craftsman who was famous all over the world."

The old man narrowed his eyes and said, "Boy, I will give you three choices. First, you can get a complete inheritance of a top-grade heavenly skill. Second, you can get an extra thousand years of life. Third, I can make you a handy weapon, but I can't guarantee the grade. It may be a magic weapon, a spiritual treasure, or a treasure of transformation. What do you choose?"

"this……"

Ning Daoran's brows were already twisted into a frown.

As for martial arts, a top-grade heavenly martial art is indeed tempting, but it is not that important to him. At this time, he has already practiced the five elements magic to perfection, and even cultivated the Chaos Immortal Vine that combines the five elements. The improvement he can get from obtaining a top-grade heavenly martial art is extremely limited.

As for life span, it is even more useless.

With the practice of the Eternal Green Art, Ning Daoran's lifespan is now close to ten thousand years. It doesn't matter whether he has another thousand years or not.

As for the last one, it is a lottery. You can create a weapon, but its grade is not guaranteed. If it is a magic weapon, it will definitely be a huge loss. If it is a spiritual treasure, it must be at least a top-grade spiritual treasure to justify the blood and sweat Ning Daoran paid for his several trips to the sea to kill monsters.

But if it is a treasure that can transform into a human form, then it is undoubtedly a huge profit and has exceeded the value of the inheritance of the Heavenly Dao.

Shape-changing treasures are so rare and precious that there are only a few of them in the entire Eastern Wilderness's immortal cultivation world. Moreover, most of the shape-changing treasures already have spirituality and souls, and are not subservient to humans. Even a great cultivator in the Spiritualization Stage like Ning Tianyi can only use spiritual treasures, which shows how rare the shape-changing treasures are.

"Have you thought it through?"

The old man grinned and said, "I don't have that much time to wait for you to figure this out. Give me an answer right away. What kind of reward do you want?"

Ning Daoran frowned.

He gently raised his hands, with both palms facing upwards. With the circulation of his magic power, a heavy blue dragon appeared in his hands. He said respectfully: "Senior, this blue dragon spear has accompanied me throughout my travels and has made countless contributions, but its grade is only a third-level upper-grade magic weapon. Since you are a master craftsman, can you recast it for me, or refine it into a spiritual treasure?"

"You're not greedy at all!"

The old man opened his hand and sucked the Great Azure Dragon into his hand, frowning and saying, "This spear... the hammering method used to make it is extremely exquisite. I'm afraid it has already returned to its original state, but the materials used and the spirituality are a little weak."

He looked up and said, "Boy, what kind of improvement do you hope to get on this spear?"

"weight."

Ning Daoran said in a deep voice: "I hope it can reach more than 100,000 jin."

"One hundred thousand jin?"

The old weapon spirit narrowed his eyes and said, "Although I am sure that I can refine this spear to more than 100,000 jin, but... can you really lift it? You are so arrogant, but you know that only warriors at the peak of Hunyuan can lift a weapon of 100,000 jin, and the warriors at the peak of Hunyuan in my Eastern Wasteland Cultivation World have long been extinct."

"Don't worry, senior. I have confirmed that it is 100,000 jin."

In fact, with Ning Daoran's current martial arts skills, he can only lift weapons weighing 70,000 to 80,000 jin at most. It would be quite difficult for him to lift the 100,000-jin Great Blue Dragon. However, his realm is not static. In a few decades, he is destined to be promoted to the middle stage of Hunyuan. Therefore, recasting the Great Blue Dragon now can be regarded as preparing for a rainy day.

"Whatever."

The old spirit said, "After all, I promised to inherit the Heavenly Dao in order to kill the monster. It is not easy to go back on my word. In this case... I will help you recast and refine this spear. Just wait."

As he spoke, the old man raised his hand and waved.

Suddenly, the sky and the earth changed color. The originally dark space suddenly turned into a big lake. The old man carried the big blue dragon and walked towards a thatched cottage by the lake. There was an iron platform and various tools for casting weapons.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The old man, the spirit of the weapon, lit the fire, started pulling the bellows, threw the Big Blue Dragon into the furnace, and was about to recast it.

"Old deer!"

Ning Daoran shouted immediately, "This senior weapon spirit is the supreme craftsman in the Eastern Wilderness's immortal cultivation world. Come out and see how he recasts the Great Azure Dragon. If you can learn some hammering techniques and refining experience from it, it would be a great opportunity!"

“Ahhh~~~”

The big stupid deer immediately rushed out from the Lingpu Cave.

Afterwards, the two of them sat down on the hillside next to the thatched cottage, hugged their knees and watched quietly.

"Um?"

The old spirit of the weapon was slightly stunned and couldn't help laughing in his heart. It would be fine if he was asked to recast the weapon, but why did he come to watch? The white deer's eyes were filled with divine power, and it was clearly a master craftsman who had practiced a certain hammer technique to the point of returning to its original simplicity. It was obviously trying to steal his skills!

This boy is so shameless, how come he eats and takes things at the same time?

"Senior, don't worry about us."

Ning Daoran extended his hand and made a "Please continue, senior" gesture, and said with a smile: "Old Deer is indeed a blacksmith, but he is far inferior to you. I let him watch your exquisite hammering skills here, I hope you will forgive me."

"snort!"

The old man was too lazy to pay attention to him and continued with the recasting process.

Soon after, the big blue dragon in the furnace was burned red and finally began to melt, turning into a jar of red iron slurry.

At this time, the old spirit of the weapon took out a bunch of random things from his arms and threw them into the furnace. Ning Daoran didn't recognize most of them, but the essence of those iron blocks was extremely rich. Obviously, they were not fourth-level materials, but most likely the legendary fifth-level materials!

"I'll go..."

He was secretly amazed in his heart, it was indeed worthy of being a reward from the inheritance of the Heavenly Dao, even fifth-level materials were used, this senior spirit weapon was indeed a real person!

At the side, the big stupid deer stared with eyes wide open, watching the senior swinging the hammer to hit the materials, extremely engrossed.

A few days later.

The outline of the big blue dragon on the blacksmith platform became clearer and clearer, not much different from before, but exuding an extremely majestic feeling. Its solidity and weight far exceeded the previous third-grade top-grade magic weapon.

"King, clang, clang~~~"

The golden hammer kept falling on the spear, shooting out dazzling sparks.

The essence of the treasure on the Big Blue Dragon continued to surge and became more and more concentrated.

And at this moment, the final quenching process is about to be carried out.

The old man put one hand behind his back, slowly walked to the lakeside, and said in a deep voice: "Qingluo, from now on you should follow him. Although this boy is very thick-skinned, he is a good person. I believe he will not treat you badly."

"Yes, Tianzun..."

In the water, a green figure rose up like duckweed, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a beautiful woman. She had a heroic look on her face, a long sword on her back, and she knelt on one knee above the water, saying, "Qingluo will definitely live up to her mission!"

"Go ahead!"

The woman leaped forward and plunged into the Qinglong Spear.

The old man, the spirit of the weapon, picked up the big blue dragon very skillfully and threw it into the lake, directly tempering it violently. The next moment, a ray of divine light shot up into the sky from the lake, condensed into a thick dark cloud in the air, and in the blink of an eye, it was filled with thunder!

"What!?"

Ning Daoran was horrified. What kind of strange phenomenon was this? There was actually a saying that treasures could help one transcend calamity? (End of this chapter)
