What made Lin Xuankong’s heart race the most was that, according to Xiao Xiuyi, even Cultivators at the Fourth or Fifth Layer, by properly nourishing an Initial Tier Immortal Artifact, could severely injure a Ninth-Layer Great Demon with a single strike!
He was currently troubled about how to deal with the Great Demon of the Sealing Demon Mountain Range and how to acquire the Thick Earth Spiritual Object. If Xiao Xiuyi could successfully refine this Initial Tier Immortal Artifact, obtaining the spiritual object would be assured!
As for the twelve Demon Pearls... with the vast Heavy Water Spiritual Object support from the Ba Mountain Secret Realm, even if he used them up, he could replace them. The next step would be to procure more from various auction houses!
After all, no matter how many Demon Pearls he held, they could only ensure his invincibility at the Sa Tier or allow him to fight one tier above his own. The pearls, no matter how strong, couldn’t enable him to defeat a Ninth-Layer Great Demon three Realms above him!
"Miss Xiao, please list the materials. I will start collecting them from today!" Lin Xuankong said decisively.
Xiao Xiuyi glanced at Lin Xuankong with so surprise. "Brother Lin, as the Silver Jade Steward of the Yin Talisman Sect, you surely have many resources at your disposal. However, twelve Demon Pearls are truly not sothing that can be collected in a short period. Even if you have money and resources, the auction houses must have them in stock!"
"This matter needs careful planning. Brother Lin, if you wish to proceed with the Refining, just gradually collect the various materials!"
After speaking, she took out paper and a pen, filling six entire sheets with the required materials. Lin Xuankong took the papers and called out to the back courtyard. Li Xiaohu quickly responded.
He handed the papers to him. "From today onward, besides your original duties, mobilize all mbers of the Feng Family to collect twenty thousand Forehead Scales. Get them as quickly as possible! The other materials listed on these papers should preferably be collected within two to three days. Rember, when sending people to collect, assign each person to gather only a part. Do not let anyone see the full list of materials, to avoid attracting attention!"
Li Xiaohu took the papers, reviewed them carefully, and then smiled. "Elder Lin, these materials are indeed very precious! However, if we put all our effort into collecting them, we should be able to gather everything within two days. As for the twenty thousand Forehead Scales, Guo Yunjiang and I can complete that task within a day. I will send people to start collecting imdiately!"
After speaking, he donned a mask, activated his True Qi, and leaped out of the Lin Residence.
Seeing this, Xiao Xiuyi looked at Lin Xuankong in disbelief. "Twenty thousand Forehead Scales are worth millions of silver taels. Adding the other materials, the total cost would require an uncountable amount of silver. Even the wealthiest branch of the Profound Phoenix Celestial Sect in Great Marsh Prefecture couldn’t gather such a sum within three to five months!
Although the Feng Family is a top force in Great Marsh Prefecture, collecting such a large quantity of materials would likely deplete all their liquid assets!
And Patriarch Feng just now... isn’t Guo Yunjiang the Patriarch of the Guo Family? Could the Patriarch of the Guo Family possibly help him and obey his orders?
Furthermore, Patriarch Feng claid they could be collected within two days. Is he a bit... Brother Lin, is this Patriarch Feng truly reliable?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuankong couldn’t help but smile.
The wealthiest in Great Marsh Prefecture is the branch of the Profound Phoenix Celestial Sect? That might have been true over a month ago! The current richest person in Great Marsh Prefecture... is standing right before you, Miss Xiao!
He sat down leisurely and took a sip of tea. "Miss Xiao, if you don’t have other matters, why not stay at the Lin Residence for the next two days?"
Xiao Xiuyi frowned slightly, her eyes showing doubt. "So Patriarch Feng can truly spend all his family’s liquid assets and gather the materials within two days?"
Seeing Xiao Xiuyi’s face full of doubt, Lin Xuankong smiled and said, "Miss Xiao, just wait for two days, and you will see."
Xiao Xiuyi pondered for a mont, then said, "I’m accustod to living alone in the mountains, so I won’t disturb Brother Lin. I will return to Fulong Slope to continue deducing the Refining thod for the Initial Tier Immortal Artifact, striving to perfect the steps and increase the success rate!"
She looked at Lin Xuankong curiously. "Brother Lin, you seem very different from how you were a few months ago. Not only does your strength appear to have improved significantly, but you can actually command Patriarch Feng. That indeed surprises .
Nonetheless, even with Patriarch Feng helping you gather the materials, those twelve Demon Pearls are not sothing that can be acquired overnight!
After I return, I will also pay attention to the auctions in Prison Dragon City. If there’s news of Demon Pearls being auctioned, I will notify you imdiately, Brother Lin!"
After speaking, she slightly cupped her hands and took her leave.
Lin Xuankong escorted Xiao Xiuyi to the door. As he watched the Artifact Refining Genius walk away, a fervent look appeared in his eyes.
An Initial Tier Immortal Artifact weighing 180,000 jin! That sheer weight alone was enough to instill fear!
The 5,000 jin Ruyi Battle Armor had once enabled him to sweep through cultivators of the Sa Tier and even battle enemies of higher tiers!
If he could wield a 180,000 jin Initial Tier Immortal Artifact, how incredibly strong would its power be?
The best part was, if it was truly as Xiao Xiuyi said—capable of killing anything within sight—then once the Immortal Artifact was completely nourished and combined with his Eight Gates Celestial Eye Demon Reflected Pupils, wouldn’t he be able to kill enemies from thousands of miles away?!
However, Xiao Xiuyi ntioned a success rate of only seventy percent. It’s unclear if the Immortal Artifact could truly be refined. After all, it was an Immortal Artifact—a rarity that the entire Great Xia, and even the vast and prosperous Rakshasa Kingdom, did not possess!
Nevertheless, given the opportunity to obtain an Immortal Artifact, he wouldn’t miss it for the world. Even if he didn’t currently possess the twelve Demon Pearls, he would exhaust all his resources to collect the materials and attempt the Refining!
An Immortal Artifact, an Immortal Artifact, an Immortal Artifact!
