Chapter 101 Secret Realm 7 My Treasure Hunting Tool is Called Chu Xingjin
The blush on Gongshi Moyu's face was still warm. He dared not give Xie Xinghui another chance to ask in detail. Without giving Xie Xinghui a chance to steer the topic back, he took out a small table, spread the map out, and placed it on the table: "This belongs to the Gongshi family. They did not leave me a copy when I was here. Now that I am using it, it can be considered a small repayment from the Gongshi family."
Listen to what they're saying. They steal from someone and then expect that person to thank them for giving them a chance to atone for their sins.
Xie Xinghui felt that Gongshi Moyu had probably been spending too much time with Xie Jiaoyue and had been corrupted by her.
Gong Shi Moyu seemed to sense Xie Xinghui's disrespect towards Xie Jiaoyue and began to assign tasks to Xie Xinghui: "Xie Xinghui, study the map carefully. This map is imbued with spiritual energy, and every part is secretly connected to the actual earth veins, which is why it can change with the changes in the earth veins. So, is it possible for you to create a tracking magic weapon based on the map and that golden grass?"
Xie Xinghui: ...
Does he look like some kind of amazing weapon-refining master?
Xie Jiaoyue launched an encouraging offensive against Xie Xinghui: "Cousin, I know several weapon refiners at the clan school, but I think none of them are as quick-witted as you. If someone else were to do this kind of work, they would definitely fail, but if you were to do it, you would definitely succeed!"
Feng Qianqian nodded in agreement: "The alchemy furnace that Xinghui made during the research conference has now become a research model for the clan academy. The chief alchemist there praised it highly, saying that it's still a young person with a quick mind."
Jin Wan, unaware of these things and unable to find a suitable angle, simply launched a food offensive, feeding Xie Xinghui a large chicken leg.
Xie Xinghui, biting into a chicken leg, sobbed incoherently, "Even if you all praise me like this, he... he..."
He'll be so happy!
I have no choice but to take this job.
Although he didn't want to be a playboy and wished he could move his whole family into his storage ring, the items were readily available. The skeleton of the magic weapon was made from the bones and teeth of fresh demonic beasts, and the bones and teeth were connected by the blood vessels and meridians of the demonic beasts. The prototype of a magic weapon had already appeared.
He didn't choose the material randomly. There were traces of demonic energy on the grass, and the demonic beast guarded the golden grass day and night. The demonic beast must also be very sensitive to demonic energy, making it perfect for making a locator magic item.
Then, Xie Xinghui, who had finally become the core of the team and had the power to control the team members, bossed the other four people around and made them do whatever they wanted. He found them one by one, from spirit wood that was at least a hundred years old and had suitable attributes to Xuanji Heavy Water with the best material affinity, all to help him build his new magic weapon.
This is a rare opportunity for him to be of use, so he should enjoy it to the fullest.
He was a craftsman with a very "frugal" style of crafting. He was not good at piling up precious high-grade materials, but rather at using low-grade materials to achieve the desired effect. Therefore, the items he listed were not difficult to find in the spiritually rich secret realm. After he gave the order, a group of people stayed up all night and gathered the items directly.
Xie Xinghui had also stayed up all night, his eyes red, as he carefully controlled the temperature with Jin Wan's fake Jade Fire Gourd, allowing all the materials to undergo a final fusion test.
Once all the materials were indistinguishable from each other, he put the gourd away and tossed it back to Jin Wan.
The materials cooled slowly in the morning breeze, gradually turning from bright red to silvery white.
The other children were witnessing the birth of a magical artifact for the first time.
Feng Qianqian blinked her big eyes and asked doubtfully, "Is it really that simple?"
Xie Xinghui was so angry he jumped up and down: "Easy?! I stayed up all night typing, my hands are all red from typing, and you actually say it's easy!"
Feng Qianqian quickly waved her hand: "That's not what I meant. I meant that when Xiuying successfully refined each batch of pills, the pill furnace would give obvious feedback, often with wisps of immortal energy, which was obviously extraordinary. I didn't expect such a sudden thing to happen when the refining was finished."
Or rather, because the entire magical artifact was created right under their noses, there was no sense of awe or wonder from the sudden appearance of a finished product after a bunch of materials were put in.
Despite spending a full day and night on the task, when it came time to review the results, everything turned out to be nothing special.
Xie Xinghui said with a wronged expression, "Sigh, that's how it is for us weapon cultivators. We put in the most hard work, but we're still criticized for not being handsome or dashing enough. Yes, I'm just a hammer wielder. How can I compare to a sword cultivator who can wield a sword that can pierce the sky or a pill cultivator who can save people from dire straits?"
Feng Qianqian blushed as she spoke and quickly went over to comfort her, even offering her a phoenix feather as a gift, swearing that she absolutely did not dislike weapon cultivators, as they were the most important beings in the world.
Xie Xinghui still wouldn't give up: "Then tell me, Qianqian, if I'm so important, and I and Chu Xingjin both fell into the water, who would you save?"
Feng Qianqian hesitated.
Xie Xinghui immediately started to fake cry: "I knew it, I'm the one whose mouth doesn't matter, nobody in this world really cares whether I live or die."
Feng Qianqian could only say, "Brother Chu is very popular, so many people will definitely save him. But you are different; not many people care about you. As your friend, I will definitely save you first!"
Xie Xinghui was helpless; Little Phoenix was just too good at talking.
Well, being willing to save him is a way of showing loyalty to my teammates.
After a while, the temperature on the magic artifact finally subsided, and five heads crowded around it, squinting as they carefully examined it.
"Will it be useful?"
"It should be okay, right? We've been working on it all night."
"Why don't you give it a try?"
"How do we use it? Xie Xinghui, come quick, we don't know how to use the things you made."
Xie Xinghui's magical artifacts always seem to transcend the imagination of ordinary cultivators. For example, the one in front of us is not like a compass with a sharp point that can point to a certain angle. Instead, it is completely round, and apart from the lines on it, it is impossible to distinguish east from west, north from south.
Xie Xinghui picked up the object. The round magical artifact had a small pointed tip at the bottom. He placed it on the map on the table and spun it around. The artifact spun like a small top.
After spinning for a few breaths, the little top stopped.
Xie Xinghui studied the lines for a while, determined a direction, and then moved the small top a certain distance in that direction and continued spinning.
After repeating this five or six times, he pointed to the area directly below the spinning top and said, "This area is our destination."
Xie Jiaoyue's expression was complicated: "Your magic weapon is quite ingenious in its use."
Xie Xinghui argued for his little spinning top: "We've used such simple materials, do you really expect it to move on its own? It's already tried its best! You can't look down on it!"
Alright, the weapon refiner is being protective of his own.
After setting a goal, the group took turns meditating and resting on the spot. Once they had recovered their strength, they set off together for their destination.
It's not far, about seven or eight hours from their current location. They have ten days in total, and one day has already passed, leaving nine days. Spending seven or eight hours trying it out shouldn't be a problem.
No one raised any objections, after all, any special discovery would be a good thing for the country and its people.
The terrain in this secret realm is unpredictable. One second you're in a dense jungle, and the next you're in the Gobi Desert. The scorching sun beats down on your bare skin, causing a burning sensation. The hot wind makes the hair on your neck seem to dance.
The desert seemed to stretch endlessly, and even the calm and collected Feng Qianqian couldn't help but wonder if they were really heading in the right direction since there was nothing ahead.
Could it be that there are hidden mechanisms or formations concealing the secret spiritual objects, which they need to decipher before they can obtain the ultimate treasure?
Heaven did not respond to her guess. After walking for about five hours, everyone suddenly stepped into thin air. A dizzying feeling of weightlessness suddenly came over them, causing the unprepared cultivators to grab their weapons in mid-air and immediately assume a defensive posture.
Then they landed one by one on the ice, making a thud.
Xie Jiaoyue and her longsword slid forward three to five meters along the ice before stopping, making a hissing and piercing sound.
The terrain change was really sudden.
However, although the terrain had changed, the surroundings were still empty and desolate, with only a blinding ice field as far as the eye could see, without any undulations, and the silvery white ice surface was completely visible.
Xie Jiaoyue took out the map and looked at it again. Although the small modules on the map had changed positions, the locations they had marked earlier were indeed getting closer and closer to them.
Running wildly on the ice without being able to use a flying mount was indeed a dangerous thing. Xie Jiaoyue asked Gongshi Moyu to contribute his wheeled chair, removed the wheels and installed them on his lotus mount, causing the lotus mount to tremble in dissatisfaction.
Xie Jiaoyue gently stroked the petals to soothe them, then took the lead in sitting on the lotus mount, and called the other companions to squeeze on as well. She took out a rope, tied her longsword to it, threw it far away, stuck it on the ice, and then pulled hard. With such strong power, the lotus mount galloped away.
Some sword-wielding mounts.
They can run much faster than they can run on their own, and they won't fall down.
The cold wind lashed against Xie Xinghui's face, and he shouted against it, "Xie Jiaoyue, you're truly a talent."
No wonder she was able to design the rice cooker furnace; Xie Jiaoyue must be a born master of magical artifact design.
After walking for an hour and a half, even though the area ahead was still an icy plain, the large Lotus brand wheelchair crashed hard into an invisible wall.
Xie Jiaoyue was dizzy from the impact. She squatted down and stretched her hands forward, groping around little by little.
She walked more than ten meters in both directions, but still couldn't reach the end.
They only found a small piece of cloth.
The Gongshi clan.
Xie Jiaoyue ran back to the group with the fabric in her hand, excitedly saying, "We've found the right place!"
Wherever the main character is, something fishy is bound to happen!
Author's note: Today, when I was typing my cousin Erha's name, I typed Chu Xinghui instead. Poor Erha, he must feel it's bad luck.
