Martial World's
Ch 761 - Towards the Nine Furnaces of the heavenly Kingdom
…
…
…
In the morning, the sun had yet to rise and Divine Phoenix Island was shrouded in a thin morning mist. Lin Ming bid farewell to his parents, Qin Xingxuan, and Mu Qianyu, then he brought Demonshine with him as he followed Li Yifeng and his entourage towards the four heavenly Kingdoms.
In Li Yifeng's four-man group, there was Qing'er and the quiet young nun that Lin Ming had seen before, as well as an extraordinarily beautiful youngster wearing an all-white.
This beautiful young man was like Li Yifeng and both of them liked the folding fan. However, just by glancing at the pale face of this young man, his delicate hands, and the lack of an adam apple, it was clear that this was a woman dressed like a man.
"You already know Qing'er, Brother Lin. As for this young nun, her Buddhist name was Jingchan, and this young master here was Sir Murong. "Li Yifeng introduced Lin Ming to his friends. He grinned as he heavily emphasized the words 'Sir Murong', causing the 'beautiful young man' to narrow his eyes.
Lin Ming thought this was funny. In fact, once a martial artist reached a certain limit, it was very easy to distinguish between a man and a woman, let alone a mortal commoner could say that this 'Sir Murong' was a girl. Unless one had a highly skilled appearance changing technique, it was almost impossible to deceive others. Since this 'Sir Murong' knew all this very well but was still dressed as a man, the only explanation was that he liked this type of clothing.
It was not strange for the outstanding young elites to have such an unusual hobby.
Lin Ming did not bother to ruin his pleasure. He cupped his hands in his chest and said, “Yingyuan Young Master, Mr. Murong, met well. ”
Seeing Lin Ming so respectfully, Sir Murong actually had the rare impression of favoring Lin Ming and cupped his hands in return. As for Jingyuan, he gathered both his hands and spoke some Buddhist sutras.
"Brother Lin, during this trip to the four heavenly Kingdoms we will have to travel several million miles. First we will go north to the Great Zen Region and then enter the River Region and from there we can go to the Profound Canary Province … although most of this journey will be done through the transmission array, we will still have to spend a month or two on my spirit ship. During this time, Brother Lin may feel free to do what you want. You can enjoy the scenery or you can close in training. ”
Li Yifeng's spirit ship was 10 times larger than an ordinary spirit ship and its interior was lavishly decorated. The tables and chairs were all made of spirit wood and the floors and beds were all covered with rare and precious beast skins. Each room provides an atmosphere of luxury and elegance. It was clear that Li Yifeng had spent a lot of time and effort aboard this spirit ship.
"Brother Li, is your Seven Star Divine Kingdom located very far away from the Nine Furnace Divine Kingdom?"
These past few days, Lin Ming had also asked about the basic situation of the four heavenly Kingdoms. The four heavenly Kingdoms were divided into the heavenly Kingdom of the Nine Furnaces, the heavenly Kingdom of Sublim Melting, the heavenly Kingdom of Asura, and the heavenly Kingdom of the Seven Stars.
These four great heavenly Kingdoms had over a dozen famous and famous Emperor powerhouses. Other than all the other Emperor level powerhouses that remained hidden in the world, every heavenly Kingdom had nearly 10 Emperor level powerhouses, or perhaps even more.
Of the four heavenly Kingdoms, the strongest was the heavenly Kingdom of the Nine Furnaces. The Nine Furnace Divine Kingdom was famous for its alchemy techniques and the entire country was rich in wood spirit jade and all sorts of heavenly materials that were useful for alchemy. It was no exaggeration to say that almost every martial artist within the Nine Furnace Kingdom Kingdom was familiar with alchemy. Even if they were not an alchemist they would still have a superficial knowledge of alchemy.
The two of the Nine Furnaces of the heavenly Kingdom were the sublime Smelting Heavenly Kingdom; they were famous for their refining techniques and their lands stored all kinds of precious metals and minerals. Within the Sublimate Enlightening heavenly Kingdom, nine out of 10 martial artists refined their masters. Almost every heaven-defying treasure passed down from the Sky Spill Continent that did not come from ancient times came from the Sublim Melting Heavenly Kingdom.
Coming third was the Asura Heavenly Kingdom. They were a relatively isolated and independent heavenly Kingdom. Although they were much weaker than the heavenly Kingdom of the Nine Furnace and the sublime Enlightening heavenly Kingdom, this was mainly due to the fact that there were no special resources located within their borders. The Asura heavenly kingdom was a land that most demon path martial artists and the social mores in it were considered quite savage. In fact, openly killing someone on the streets could not be considered unusual or interesting.
And the last one was the Seven Star Divine Kingdom. They also did not have any special resources, causing the development of their heavenly Kingdom to be extremely limited. Seven Star Divine Kingdom was famous for their array formations, but no matter how powerful the array formations were, they were still additional skills. In terms of improving the cultivation of martial artists, they were naturally inferior to the mass production abilities of alchemy techniques.
"Brother Lin wants to go to the Nine Divine Furnace Divine?" Li Yifeng was not too surprised to hear Lin Ming's request. The Nine Furnace Divine Kingdom was known as a land with abundant treasures and lucky chances in every corner. Every year, every, a large number of martial artists would settle in the Nine Furnace Divine Kingdom in the hope that they would find a heavenly heavenly treasure that would allow them to ascend into glory with just one leap. However, the areas filled with lucky chances were all under tight control; the Nine Furnace Divine Kingdom would not easily allow outsiders to obtain them.
Even so, a large number of martial artists still came to experience the varied Holy Land of Martialism of the Sky Spill Continent.
"That's the plan . I want to go to the Nine Furnace Divine Kingdom to look for some wood spirit jade. "Said Lin Ming honestly. There was nothing to hide and if he were to talk to Li Yifeng, perhaps this Prince might know some channels he could access.
"Jade spirit wood?" After Li Yifeng heard this, his eyes shone, "So Brother Lin is also a jade lover, hm!"
Li Yifeng said. Then, he rubbed his spatial ring and took out a rectangular wooden box. The moment he opened this box, an extremely light yet pure wood origin energy suddenly appeared. As Lin Ming peered inside, he could see four pieces of rough-shaped green stones looking irregular. They seemed to be unsculpted jade; without a doubt, this was a wood spirit jade.
Moreover, beside these four pieces of wood spirit jade was also a beautifully carved jade horse. The materials used to make this were also wood spirit jade.
Lin Ming was shocked. In the memories of the Realm of the Supreme Elders of Gods, there were many memories of jade spirit wood carvings, accessories, equipment, and so on. Lin Ming only glanced at these things. After all, this kind of artistic treasure was not widely used in the cultivation of one's martial arts. What he cared about was only the alchemy techniques of the Realm of the Gods.
He had never thought that the wood carvings of spirit jade within the Realm of the Gods would also exist in the Sky Spill Continent.
“Haha, my jade horse is pretty good, right? I spent a lot of price to win this at the auction. This was an ancient treasure carved by an expert from 10,000 years ago! ”
Li Yifeng was arrogant, full of pride and wanted to show off to Lin Ming. He clearly held an infinite amount of love for these jade carvings.
But at this moment, a discordant voice suddenly set his foot, “Li Yifeng, I can't believe you used a large amount of heavenly Kingdom spirit essence stones to secretly buy a wood spirit jade horse! I will report this matter to Sir Shangchen! "
Lin Ming looked up, seeing that what spoke quickly was that 'Sir Murong'. He could not help but laugh in his heart. Spirit essence stones were a type of spirit stone that was even better than true essence stones for cultivation. The value of a low-tier spirit essence stone was about the approximation for a top quality true essence stone.
Li Yifeng's smile froze on his face, “You fake Murong tomboy! If you fuck with me I'll drop you with me! ”
"Huh, the spirit essence stones that Sir Shangchen gave you for you to cultivate, are not for you to buy toys!" Murong.
“Who said that wood spirit jade cannot be used for training? Jade spirit wood carving was certainly expensive as an accessory, but it also had a soul-enhancing effect. The further one's cultivation is the more important the role of the soul! Someone like you can't understand this! ”
What Li Yifeng said was true; jade spirit wood was indeed a good material to improve souls.
Besides being used in alchemy, wood spirit jade could also be absorbed by martial artists for training. However, since wood spirit jade was based on wood origin energy, only a wood-attribute martial artist could use it. Otherwise, using wood spirit jade for training would only be useless.
Even if one did not understand alchemy, a martial artist who was not lucky enough to become a wood attribute could also carry around a jade wood spirit by their side. Gradually, the rich wood origin energy of the wood spirit jade would penetrate into the martial artists and nurture their souls.
However, the jade wood spirit in its most basic form was rough and precipitous; there were many people who felt uneasy carrying something ugly and unpleasant by his side the entire time. Thus, the wood carving skill of the spirit jade slowly spread out, and the engraving art of this material became increasingly refined and elegant. Now, there were even some martial artists who brought jade spirit wood carvings to accessorize, not even buying them with the intention of helping to nurture their souls.
“Stop with your loquacious sofistu. If you want to help nourish your soul then carrying an uncut piece of wood spirit jade will be the same, you will not need to carry around such an expensive jade horse. I'll be sure to report this matter to your boss. "Murong said indifferently, a serious light on his face.
"Peh, whatever, I'm too lazy to care about you .." Li Yifeng saw that he didn't want to waste time arguing. Then, he suddenly spun towards Lin Ming, his eyes shining, "Haha, Brother Lin, brother Lin, if you like jade spirit wood then let me take you to some famous City Box that specializes in jade spirit wood later so you can open your eyes ! ”
Li Yifeng clearly had a good understanding of the wood spirit stone market, and immediately started talking to Lin Ming of the several large wood spirit stone city boxes, detailing the advantages and disadvantages of each. Then, after making a big move about everything, he finally spun back to his beloved jade horse.
“Look at this jade horse. The exquisite details of the carving came from the hand of the carving grandmaster called Xuan Can. As for jade, it came from a 250,000 year old ancient wood spirit jade! ”
The older the wood spirit jade was, the higher the quality and the more expensive it was. The wood spirit jade had special characteristics; it was able to independently absorb the wood origin energy from the heaven and earth origin energy in the world and use this energy to revive itself. Thus, although the jade wood spirit would slowly lose some of its origin energy over time, this rate slowed down drastically due to its ability to equip itself. Moreover, as time passed, the wood origin energy within the wood spirit stone would become increasingly pure.
Lin Ming did not care who this Xuan Can was, nor did he have any interest in the ancient river wood spirit jade. But, what he could confirm was that this carved jade horse in Li Yifeng's hand was at most 120,000 to 130,000 years old.
It seemed that Li Yifeng had been breastfed by someone.
The truth is that being cheated like this is also normal. It was extremely difficult to judge the age of the wood spirit jade, and even experienced alchemists would make mistakes. The general population would probably not even be able to tell the difference between true and fake wood spirit jade. There were experts out there who could use wood attribute spirit essence stones and some wood spirit jade powder to create fake wood spirit jade that was almost impossible to distinguish from original.
"Brother Li, can I have that raw wood jade ore?" Lin Ming had no intention of revealing to Li Yifeng that he had been scammed. In any case, it was fine as long as he was happy with his purchase, and Li Yifeng might not believe he was going to start.
The reason Lin Ming asked for these raw stones was because he wanted to try his hand at alchemy. He had already studied alchemy techniques for a very long time, and other than trying low-level recipes that did not require wood spirit stones, Lin Ming had yet to try to refine a high-tier pill.
"Brother Lin wants this raw ore? Doesn't matter! "Li Yifeng easily nodded. He liked wood spirit jade, but it was just wood spirit jade carvings. As for that ore, in Li Yifeng's eyes it was no different from spirit essence stones.
