Chapter 33

Genius Beauty

The green flame in Rongyue's hand was about the size of two fingers. Although she was trying her best to control it and not emit any heat, Luo Zheng could still feel that this ball of flame was shockingly powerful. Its grade was even higher than his own Astral Fire Source.

"What a powerful flame source! Could it be … sister is an alchemist? "

Luo Zheng's eyes widened in surprise.

"Hehe, this is the Ice Lotus Flame Source that my father spent a lot of effort to find for me. Unfortunately, I can only refine Mortal Level middle grade pills. Otherwise, I would definitely refine a Yuan Dan for big brother. It's all my fault for being so stupid." Rongyue blamed herself.

"You're at most twelve years old this year. You can refine Mortal Level middle grade pills and you call yourself stupid? If other alchemists heard this, wouldn't they be so embarrassed that they would find a hole to hide in? "

Luo Zheng couldn't help but roll his eyes. Becoming an alchemist at such a young age was simply unheard of.

He didn't expect Princess Rongyue to not only be a beauty, but also a genius beauty!

Tsk tsk!

At the same time, Luo Zheng was secretly amazed. The Ice Lotus was a rare heavenly treasure that only bloomed once every five hundred years. When it bloomed, the center of the lotus would give birth to the Ice Lotus Flame Source, which could be said to be priceless.

In the Through Heaven Record, the Ice Lotus Flame Source was rated as a fourth-grade flame source by the Spirit Sword Heavenly Sovereign. Prince Rong actually found it with a lot of effort. One could see how much love he had for Rongyue.

Hearing Luo Zheng's praise, Rongyue was overjoyed. Her beautiful face flushed red, looking extremely charming.

"Sister, don't worry. I have my own ways to obtain the Yuan Dan and enter the Blood Tempering Realm."

Luo Zheng's eyes lit up when he thought of the Blood Tempering Trial. According to Wang Nian, the Trial required one to be at least in the Blood Tempering Realm to compete for the rewards. However, now that he had the Astral Flame Source, the Azure Pearl Sword, and the Beast Transformation Pill, he might be able to obtain a Mortal Level high grade pill.

…

The two of them talked a lot in the carriage. When night fell and Rongyue had no choice but to return home, they reluctantly parted ways.

Luo Zheng smiled faintly as he watched the luxurious flood dragon blood carriage slowly depart.

As for Rongyue, he did not have any distracting thoughts. He simply treated her as a younger sister.

After the carriage had gone far away, Luo Zheng's fierce gaze swept across the crowded street. Then, his figure flashed and disappeared into the crowd.

"Could it be that this brat discovered us? Just now, he seemed to have looked over on purpose."

"That's impossible. He's only at the Film Forging Realm. How could he have discovered us? Let's go and report back to the Young Marquis."

It was obvious that these two muscular men were at least in the Blood Tempering Realm.

The two of them chatted for a while more before leaving.

"This Bai Xingjian is indeed up to no good. He actually sent someone to follow us. Humph!"

After the two men left, Luo Zheng went out again as he muttered to himself.

"40 Blood Nourishing Elixirs are far from enough for me to reach the peak of the Film Forging Realm. There are only two and a half days left until the end of the season break. It will take me one day to rush back to the Five Beasts Army camp. If I buy a Flood Dragon Blood Warhorse, I can shorten the time by half. That is to say, if I can refine a celestial weapon in two days, I can exchange it for enough elixirs to reach the peak of the Film Forging Realm before the Blood Refining Assessment!"

Luo Zheng walked slowly as he pondered. It was very difficult to refine a low-grade celestial weapon in two days. It was almost impossible.

And this was under the condition that he had the Heart Refining Technique. Normally, an ordinary weaponsmith would need half a month to refine a low-grade celestial weapon if they were fully prepared and went all out.

Moreover, if the time was too tight, there was a high possibility of failure. All the materials would be wasted, and the losses would be great.

However, Luo Zheng did not hesitate. What he needed to do now was to raise his cultivation with all his might and enter the Five Saints Army as soon as possible.

He was not doing this for himself, but for his mother and sister. More importantly, he wanted to clear his father's name!

Luo Zheng was born into a poor family. His family had been poor since he was young. In order to support his cultivation, his family had almost given everything they had.

A year ago, Luo Zheng's father had inadvertently offended a wealthy family in order to obtain a low-grade mortal class Qi Nourishing Pill. He had been framed by the Luo family and sentenced to forty years of hard labor. He had been sent to the Frigid Wasteland to build city walls.

The Frigid Wasteland was the extreme north of the Hundred Battles Dynasty. It was cold all year round and the environment was harsh. Even a powerful Blood Tempering Realm martial artist would not be able to withstand such harsh weather for long periods of time.

Moreover, Luo Zheng's father was only in the Muscle Tempering Realm.

Luo Zheng had entered the Five Beasts Army precisely to clear his father's name. This was because only the martial soldiers of the Five Beasts Army had the opportunity to enter the Five Saints Army and become the personal soldiers of the War Emperor. They were the disciples of the Son of Heaven and had the opportunity to build a career.

As long as he could perform meritorious deeds, Luo Zheng would be able to use his own merits to exchange for an Imperial Golden Talisman to clear his father's name!

"Not only will I clear my father's name, but I will also cut the enemies who framed my father into pieces to avenge my father's death!"

Luo Zheng's eyes flashed with hatred as he thought of his father's suffering in the Cold Light. He walked towards the Martial Market.

An hour later, Luo Zheng walked into an inn specially set up for martial artists with a package in his hand. He asked for a room with a quiet room for refining weapons.

A fist-sized Thunder Gold Essence could be refined into a mid-tier magic tool. However, the time required to refine a mid-tier magic tool was twice as long. If it failed, the loss would be enormous. Luo Zheng also understood the principle of not putting all of his eggs in one basket.

In the quiet room.

"This piece of Thunder Iron Gold Essence is enough to refine three low-grade magic tools."

Luo Zheng calculated in his mind. He opened the package and took out a piece of black iron the size of a forearm.

This was the Ten-thousand-refined Stainless Steel he bought from the Martial Market. After being tempered ten thousand times, this seemingly small piece of Stainless Steel weighed more than 250 kilograms.

In order to buy this piece of material, Luo Zheng had spent ten thousand taels of gold.

He took a deep breath and wrapped the Ten-thousand-refined Stainless Steel with the Star Fire Source. The yellow-gray flame burned fiercely.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

In an hour, the whole piece of Ten-thousand-refined Stainless Steel turned into black molten iron. Luo Zheng took out the prepared container from the package and filled it with molten iron.

After being refined by the Star Fire Source, the volume of the Ten-thousand-refined Stainless Steel was almost half of what it used to be.

After a short rest, Luo Zheng continued to refine the Thunder Gold Essence.

Although the Thunder Gold Essence was not as tough as the Blue Fire Crystal, Luo Zheng spent nearly two hours to refine one-third of the Thunder Gold Essence into liquid.

The materials used to refine the Low-grade Celestial Device were relatively simple.

The main material was the Thunder Gold Essence as the embryo, and the auxiliary material was the Ten-thousand-refined Stainless Steel as the embryo. Combining the two materials into one, and then applying the incantation to let it absorb the Spiritual Power of Heaven and Earth, the Celestial Device would gradually produce a special power.

In the quiet room, Luo Zheng kept reciting the incantation. His hands were flying, and one by one, the mysterious incantation was constantly changing. The gray Thunder Gold Essence and the black Ten-thousand-refined Stainless Steel changed into various shapes from time to time.

"Done!"

Time was constantly passing. One day later, a light shout came out from the quiet room.

Above the quiet room, the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth suddenly condensed into a finger-thick thunderbolt and drilled into the dagger in Luo Zheng's hand.

"It's a success. The Heart Refining Method is really extraordinary. It only took me one and a half days to refine this Low-grade Celestial Device!"

Luo Zheng looked at the short saber in his hand with excitement. It was about a foot and a half long and had a single edge. The handle was covered with thunder runes, and on the blade edge, there was a faint silver bolt of lightning that slowly swam about, showing how powerful it was.

Carefully looking at the dagger, Luo Zheng could not help but show a trace of reluctance on his face. After all, this was the first time he had successfully refined a Celestial Device, and it was of great significance.

"Well, with the Blue Fire Sword in hand, this Celestial Device is of little significance to me. I'd better use it to exchange for elixirs to improve my cultivation and save my life. I have the Weapon Refining Volume of the Through Heaven Record. I'm afraid I can't refine a better Celestial Device in the future."

After thinking for a while, Luo Zheng gritted his teeth, packed up, and directly left the inn for the Martial Market.

"Heavenly Fortune Pavilion, here it is!"

Luo Zheng chose a shop with a larger store and walked in.

In addition to selling, these shops were also purchasing.

"I have something to sell, but I don't know which shopkeeper I'm looking for."

Luo Zheng found a shop assistant and expressed his intention.

"Sir, please follow me to the negotiation room."

The shop assistant was very polite. He directly led Luo Zheng to a quiet room on the second floor, served him tea, and asked him to wait for a while before leaving.

Not long after, an old man in black came in. After sitting down, he smiled and said, "My surname is Jia, and I'm an appraiser of the Heavenly Fortune Pavilion. What do you want to sell?"

The old man was very polite, but also very casual. He probably thought that Luo Zheng was too young to take out anything valuable.

"Thank you, Elder Jia."

Luo Zheng nodded indifferently. Without saying anything, he directly took out the dagger and handed it over.

"Celestial Device!"

Whoosh!

Elder Jia directly jumped up from his seat with his eyes wide open. He had been an appraiser of the Heavenly Fortune Pavilion for nearly 20 years and had seen many Celestial Devices. However, it was rare for him to see someone bring a Celestial Device to the Heavenly Fortune Pavilion to sell.

It should be known that even the lowest quality Low-Grade Celestial Device was worth seven to eight hundred thousand gold taels. The one that the young man took out was probably worth more than a million gold taels.

Celestial Devices were now in short supply regardless of which aristocratic family it was. Everyone was scrambling for it. If it was put in the auction house, it could easily be sold for more than half the price.

If it was sold in the shop, it would definitely not reach that price. Therefore, very few people were willing to sell their shop.

"Young Master, may I ask what is the name of this Celestial Device?"

Elder Jia carefully examined the dagger and asked. He even changed the way he addressed Luo Zheng, revealing a trace of respect.

"My master casually made it. He didn't say what it was called. Let's call it Tiger Piercing Dagger."

Luo Zheng already had an idea in his mind. Anyone could see that this dagger was newly made. He couldn't hide it from others, so he had to make up a master to deal with it.

It was better to hide the fact that he had become a Weapon Refiner. A tall tree attracts the wind. It was not a good thing.

"Tiger Piercing Dagger! So it was casually made by your master. No wonder there are some small flaws in some places. "

Realization dawned on Elder Jia, and the expression on his face became even more respectful.

A Weapon Refiner who could casually make low-grade Celestial Devices had amazing skills. It would not be a problem for him to make middle-grade Celestial Devices. He could even make upper-grade Celestial Devices.

The price of any upper-grade Celestial Device was in the tens of millions. Moreover, there was a huge shortage. There was a price but no supply.

If he could curry favor with a Weapon Refiner who could make upper-grade Celestial Devices and establish a long-term partnership, he would prosper in the future.

"Elder Jia, how much can your shop pay for this Celestial Device?"

Luo Zheng only had half a day's time before he had to rush back to the Five Beast Army camp. If the Heavenly Fortune Pavilion's price was not suitable, he would have to ask a few other shops. He did not want to be polite and asked directly.

"Young Master, can you give me some time? I will discuss with the shop owner. As for the price, you can rest assured. I can make the decision. It will definitely not be less than a million taels of gold. It can only be higher!"

Elder Jia did not care about Luo Zheng's attitude. To be accepted as a disciple by a powerful Weapon Refiner, he must have outstanding talent. It was normal for a young man to be arrogant.

"Alright, I can only wait for an hour at most." Luo Zheng saw that Elder Jia was sincere and nodded.

Chapter 34

Heavenly Fortune Pavilion

Half an hour later, Elder Jia walked in.

"Young Master, I have discussed with my master. If this magic tool is only sold in the Heavenly Fortune Pavilion, it would be too much of a waste. It would not reflect its true value …"

Before Elder Jia could finish, Luo Zheng's face showed displeasure. Just now, this old man said that the price would not be lower than one million gold taels. Now, in the blink of an eye, he said that the Tiger-Piercing Blade could not be sold in the Heavenly Fortune Pavilion. This clearly meant that the Heavenly Fortune Pavilion would not accept the magic tool.

"Fine, if your shop doesn't accept it, then forget it!"

Luo Zheng could not be bothered to argue. He stood up and was about to leave.

"Young Master, you misunderstood!" Elder Jia was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. "That is not what I meant. Young Master, please listen to me."

"Oh?" Luo Zheng saw that the old man did not seem to be lying. He stopped in his tracks.

"Our master's intention is to send the Tiger-Piercing Blade to the auction house for auction. Our Heavenly Fortune Pavilion will pay one million gold taels in advance. After the Tiger-Piercing Blade is auctioned, after deducting the auction house's fees, we will give the rest of the proceeds to Young Master."

Elder Jia was afraid that Luo Zheng would leave, so he quickly explained.

"What if the auction house does not sell for one million gold taels? What is your purpose? "

Luo Zheng thought for a while and asked.

Elder Jia's words were indeed tempting. However, businessmen by nature pursued profits. If the Heavenly Fortune Pavilion did this, they would not be able to make any money. They might even suffer a loss.

If there was no satisfactory reason, Luo Zheng would definitely not agree.

"Young Master, rest assured. Although the Tiger-Piercing Blade was casually forged by your master and has some flaws, its power is extremely great. It is extremely rare among low grade magic tools. The auction price will only be higher! This old man still has the ability to judge. "Elder Jia said confidently.

"As for our purpose, to be honest with you, we hope that you can put in a good word for us in front of your master. The Heavenly Fortune Pavilion hopes to establish a long-term partnership with your master. We hope that in the future, all magic tools forged by your master will be sold and auctioned by the Heavenly Fortune Pavilion. Of course, we can guarantee that we will not take any profits."

Elder Jia looked at Luo Zheng with a sincere and earnest expression as he spoke carefully.

Luo Zheng's heart skipped a beat. If what the Heavenly Fortune Pavilion said was true, then there were indeed many benefits for him. In the future, he would inevitably need to rely on refining tools in exchange for large amounts of cultivation resources. Naturally, he would need a stable and trustworthy sales channel.

Low-grade magic tools were fine, but if he were to sell middle-grade or even high-grade magic tools in the future, it would be strange if he didn't attract a fatal disaster.

However, even though this matter was beneficial to him, he couldn't agree too quickly.

Thinking this in his heart, Luo Zheng pretended to ponder for a moment before replying, "Old Jia, I need to report this matter to Master and let Master make the decision. I can't give you an answer now."

"Thank you, Young Master!"

Elder Jia almost cried tears of joy. A blacksmith who could refine middle-grade magic tools would definitely have a stable relationship with some of the great clans and families. They wouldn't easily cooperate with ordinary merchants. He had only wanted to give it a try. He didn't expect that Luo Zheng would actually agree to report to Master. This was truly a pleasant surprise.

If the Heavenly Fortune Pavilion could really cooperate with a powerful blacksmith, even if they didn't earn a single cent from the blacksmith, the benefits would still be great.

The Hundred Battles Dynasty had a population of ten billion, and countless people cultivated the martial way. Even though there weren't many who could truly achieve something and enter the Blood Tempering Realm, magic tools were still in short supply.

If the Heavenly Fortune Pavilion could establish a relationship with a powerful blacksmith and sell middle-grade or even high-grade magic tools on behalf of the blacksmith, they would be able to establish a relationship with countless great clans. Even if they didn't make money from selling magic tools, they could still earn it back in other ways.

"Young Master, for the time being, the Tiger Piercing Blade will be arranged according to the previous arrangement. We will first pay you one million taels of gold, then send the magic tool to the largest auction house in War Emperor City for appraisal, evaluation, and confirmation of the auction date. Normally, the auction will begin in about ten days. Young Master can come back ten days later to withdraw the extra money. "

Elder Jia continued.

"Okay, but I have a condition. I want most of the one million taels of gold to be exchanged for elixirs, Human Upper Grade elixirs." Luo Zheng said.

"What? Young Master, that's impossible. Human Upper Grade elixirs are all controlled by the dynasty. Only a few shops sell them, and they need to be booked for a year or even two years. Where do you expect me to find them?" Elder Jia's face was filled with embarrassment.

"It seems that there really is no other way."

Luo Zheng sighed in his heart and nodded. "Then at least exchange them for Blood Nourishing Elixirs. Anyway, just exchange them for me according to the market price. I don't want you to lose out."

Four hours later, Luo Zheng left the Heavenly Fortune Pavilion with two hundred Blood Nourishing Elixirs in his leather bag, as well as some supplementary elixirs for healing.

After circling around the Martial Market, Luo Zheng was relieved to find that no one was following him. He directly bought a Flood Dragon Blood Horse, left War Emperor City, and galloped into the vast prairie.

He didn't tell Elder Jia that he wouldn't be back in ten days.

That would be the beginning of the Blood Refining Trial.

"Young Lady, I'm Jia Quan."

At this moment, on the top floor of the Heavenly Fortune Pavilion, Elder Jia walked to a door and knocked.

"Uncle Jia, please come in. How's it going?"

The one who opened the door was a beautiful girl. She had pretty features and a tall figure, about eighteen or nineteen years old.

She was wearing a tight-fitting purple robe, outlining her breathtaking figure. Especially her valiant and valiant short hair that reached her ears, exuding a rare valiant aura, revealing a charming androgynous flavor.

The short-haired girl looked at Elder Jia anxiously.

"Fortunately, I didn't let you down. This young man has already promised to go back and report to his master. If the Tiger Piercing Blade can be sold at a satisfactory price, there is a high chance that his master will agree." Elder Jia said happily.

"We must seize this opportunity to save the Heavenly Fortune Pavilion. We can't let father and grandfather's hard work fall into the hands of others!"

The short-haired girl gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with hatred. "That damned Bai Xingjian!"

Luo Zheng returned to the Five Beast Army camp and went straight to Wang Nian's residence. As expected, the fatty was already in the house.

"This is for you. Try to break through to the Bone Refining Realm before the Blood Refining Trial."

Luo Zheng took out two small bottles and handed them to the fatty.

"Damn it, you robbed that family's treasury!" Wang Nian said exaggeratedly, his mouth wide open when he saw that the bottles were filled to the brim with Blood Nourishing Elixirs.

"Cultivate well. You must break through to the Bone Refining Realm. Don't lose your life in the Blood Refining Trial."

Luo Zheng rolled his eyes at the fatty in annoyance. He went straight to the Blue Wolf Battalion's cultivation room and started cultivating.

For five days, Luo Zheng continuously consumed Blood Nourishing Elixirs and used the Falling Star Fist to refine the elixirs, temper his body, and increase his strength.

Luo Zheng felt that after the Blue Li Sword had formed the sword embryo, the Heavenly Sword Array had refined the elixirs at a much faster speed. Furthermore, the elixirs refined were much purer than before.

Originally, he had estimated that he would only need around 100 Blood Nourishing Elixirs to reach the peak of the Film Forging Realm. However, he had actually used 200 Blood Nourishing Elixirs to reach his goal. The number of elixirs he needed had doubled!

However, Luo Zheng's strength had also increased tremendously. His strength had increased by more than two times. Originally, his full-strength punch had about 20,000 pounds of force, but now it had reached 70,000 pounds of force.

"Such a great improvement should be due to the effect of the Falling Star Fist. Also, after refining the Heavenspan Sword Array, the medicinal efficacy has become even purer. Now, if I don't use any martial arts, I can rely on my strength to suppress an ordinary Film Forging realm martial artist. Previously, Zhao Feng was already known as the number one Film Forging Realm martial artist in the Giant Elephant Battalion. I wonder if there are any stronger Film Forging Realm martial artists in the Flying Dragon Battalion. "

Luo Zheng felt that his cultivation had reached a bottleneck. Unless he entered the Blood Tempering Realm and opened up his Sea of Qi, he would not be able to improve no matter how many Blood Nourishing Elixirs he consumed. Thus, he stopped cultivating.

"I can finally compete with the true geniuses of the Five Beast Army in this Blood Refinement Trial!"

Luo Zheng was secretly looking forward to the upcoming Blood Refinement Trial. The Five Beast Army was where the geniuses of the Hundred Battles Dynasty gathered. There were many hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

Not only were there experts in the Blood Tempering Realm, but there were also some true geniuses who had already entered the Marrow Changing Realm. Luo Zheng knew that it would not be easy to obtain the rewards of the Blood Refinement Trial.

"There are still five days before the Blood Refinement Trial begins. I wonder if Xiao Han has come out of seclusion?"

When Luo Zheng thought of Xiao Han, his eyes flashed and became cold.

If he had not obtained the Heavenly Sword Formation, he would probably have been tossed to god knows where by now. He would have even been framed as a deserter. His family and clansmen would have been executed. The men would have been sent to work and enslaved forever. The women would have been demoted to prostitutes and would never be able to raise their heads again.

"Now, I finally have some strength and will not be bullied by others. Xiao Han, this Blood Refinement Trial will be the time for us to settle the score!"

After a long time, Luo Zheng exhaled and stood up to leave. "Let's go see how Fatty's cultivation is going."

When he arrived at Wang Nian's residence, Luo Zheng realized that he was not there. Thus, he decided to head to the Gray Wolf Camp's dining hall.

Firstly, he could inquire about Xiao Han. Secondly, he wanted to have a good meal. He had been relying on elixirs to provide energy for his cultivation over the past few days. Although the effects were much better than eating meat, it lacked the satisfaction of eating. After all, something was missing.

"Hehe, damn fatty, let me tell you a piece of good news. Young Master Xiao Han spread the news yesterday that he has broken through to the Blood Tempering Realm. He will consolidate his cultivation over the next few days. The day of the Blood Refinement Trial will be the day he officially comes out of seclusion. Young Master Xiao wants me to tell Luo Zheng that the Blood Refinement Trial will be the day he dies. Hahaha. "

"That's right, damn fatty, you've always been on good terms with Luo Zheng, right? Young Master Xiao Han had also said that everyone who was close to Luo Zheng had to die! You should also wash your neck and wait! "

"Pig brain, to actually be friends with a lowly commoner like Luo Zheng, you're simply seeking your own death!"

When Luo Zheng approached the dining hall, he heard mocking laughter coming from inside.

Soon after, Wang Nian's sharp voice rang out, "You dare to provoke Lord Fatty? You're courting death!"

Bang! Bang bang!

The sound of fighting rang out.

"Aiyo! Damn, when did this damn fatty become so powerful? "

"This fatty has broken through to the Bone Tempering Realm, an iron tree blooming!"

"Bullshit, iron tree blooming! Surround him, I want to make his face bloom!"

Hearing this, Luo Zheng could not help but smile, "This fatty still has a bit of a hedonistic character. He just broke through to the Bone Tempering Realm and he's already so arrogant …"

He slowly walked into the dining hall.

At this time, Wang Nian was already surrounded by more than ten youths from the Blue Wolf Battalion. Many of these youths were at the Bone Tempering Realm. Although Wang Nian stubbornly resisted and was not afraid of death, he was still beaten black and blue. He was almost unable to hold on.

"Brother, quickly come and fight … aiyo!"

Wang Nian caught a glimpse of Luo Zheng in the midst of his busy fighting. Before he could even greet him, he received another punch to the face.

"Brother, I'm coming!"

Chapter 35

Blood Purge Begins

The battle in the Dining Hall was extremely tragic.

However, the ones who suffered the most were the youths who had surrounded Wang Nian. More than ten youths were beaten to the ground by Luo Zheng. Their muscles and bones were injured, and they would need to rest for at least a few days to recover.

Wang Nian did not have a good time either. His eyes were like a panda's, and two lines of blood flowed from his nose. He had lost two teeth, and his nose was crooked once again.

Fortunately, the Dining Hall was not the Martial Arts Arena. No one dared to kill him, so there were no casualties.

"Damn, this battle was so f * cking satisfying. Ever since I entered the Five Beasts Army, I have always been bullied. Today, I fought more than ten men alone, and I did not lose."

Wang Nian tore off two pieces of his shirt and stuffed them in his bleeding nose. He boasted shamelessly with a proud look.

"One-on-one. If I had come a little later, you would have probably come out on your own. What's there to be happy about? If you want to cause trouble in the future, open your eyes."

Luo Zheng glared at Fatty. He had a premonition that Fatty would be a troublemaker in the future. Previously, he had been honest only because he was too weak. Now that he had made a breakthrough in his cultivation, he had become arrogant.

"That's right. Last time, when Fatty was still in the Muscle Forging Realm, he dared to fight Zhou Qifa!"

Suddenly, Luo Zheng recalled what had happened last time. Sometimes, Fatty would suddenly become fearless, as though he had been injected with chicken blood.

He did not know when he had been injected with chicken blood. It was really a headache.

"Hehe, what's there to be afraid of? With you protecting me, who would dare to touch me?" Wang Nian laughed shamelessly.

"You still have to be careful. I heard that the Blood Purge test is randomly sent through the teleportation formation. We might not be able to gather together. If you meet these people today, or if Xiao Han finds you, you'll have to pray for good luck."

Luo Zheng poured cold water on Wang Nian.

"That's true."

Wang Nian's face stiffened, and the corner of his mouth twitched. Everyone had to participate in the Blood Purge test.

"Let's see how it goes. If it really doesn't work, find a place to hide after the Blood Purge begins. I'll think of a way to help you complete the task," Luo Zheng said.

"I'm going back to cultivate. We'll talk about it then."

Wang Nian shook his head and turned to leave. There was a faint flame burning on his body.

There was something that Fatty didn't say out loud. "Grandpa Fatty doesn't want to drag my brothers down. Grandpa Fatty is going to go all out!"

"This fatty seems a little different from before."

Luo Zheng glanced at Wang Nian before walking towards the cultivation room.

Within the Mammoth Battalion.

"Young Lord, Bai Xingjian, son of the White Crane Marquis, has sent someone to deliver a letter."

While Zhao Feng was cultivating, a youth walked in and handed him a letter.

"Bai Xingjian! The son of the White Crane Marquis is an expert in the Viscera Refinement Realm and a genius alchemist. He's always had his eyes above his head and we don't have any interactions. Why would he send me a letter? "

Puzzled, Zhao Feng opened the letter and his face instantly became gloomy.

Huala!

Suddenly, he threw the letter into the air and struck it with his palm, turning the letter into ashes.

"Damn it! Damn bastard, how dare you try to get close to Princess Rongyue! "

Zhao Feng's face twisted as he roared. His heart was filled with hatred and jealousy. "Luo Zheng, you stole my Qiankun Gourd and made me lose face. You didn't even settle this debt and you even chased me to the War Emperor City to get close to Duke Rong. Damn it, damn it!"

Peng! Peng! Peng!

Boom!

Zhao Feng seemed to have gone crazy as he sent out Thousand Illusion Palms everywhere, causing the entire room to collapse.

The youth who delivered the letter was so scared that his face lost all colour. Zhao Feng's figure had already disappeared.

"Song Chen!"

Zhao Feng came to the cultivation room of the Mammoth Battalion and knocked on the stone door.

The stone door opened and a youth as tall as a metal tower walked out.

He was fifteen or sixteen years old and was eight feet tall. He was even taller than an adult and a powerful aura surged from his body. He was obviously an expert at the Blood Tempering Realm.

"Hahaha, Young Marquis Zhao, what brings you here?"

Song Chen laughed foolishly as he looked at Zhao Feng.

"No need to laugh. Song Chen, I want you to kill someone in the blood refinement and get something back." Zhao Feng furrowed his eyebrows. If it wasn't for the fact that he hated Song Chen, he wouldn't have come into contact with him.

On the surface, Song Chen looked like a simple and honest blockhead, but in reality, he was as cunning as a fox and had a vicious heart. His appearance was just a disguise.

"Sure, fifty Blood Nourishing Pills!" Song Chen didn't even ask who he wanted to kill. His smile became even bigger.

"What? I want to kill someone at the Film Forging Realm?" Zhao Feng said angrily. Song Chen was indeed black-hearted.

"Someone that even you can't kill isn't that simple." Song Chen revealed a smile as his eyes flashed with cunningness.

… …

The start of the blood refinement was getting closer and closer.

In the Five Beasts Army, everyone was on tenterhooks. All the youths were nervous. Everyone was training even harder.

The youths that could enter the Five Beast Army were all geniuses of the Hundred Battles Lord Dynasty. Maybe some of them had bribed others to enter.

However, the Blood Refinement Test, which was held twice a year, was the true test of survival of the fittest. There was no luck involved.

In the extremely harsh blood refinement, there would be many youths that couldn't complete the test and were kicked out of the Five Beast Army.

Every time, there would be many youths that died in the blood refinement.

Winter was approaching and the cold air had completely dried up the grass and trees on the grassland.

At this moment, the blood refinement test was about to begin.

On the field of the Five Beast Army, the array master had set up a teleportation array that gave off a mysterious black light. No one knew where it led to.

Flying Dragon Battalion, Giant Elephant Battalion, Iron Tiger Battalion, Blood Leopard Battalion, Sky Wolf Battalion.

The Five Beast Army. The five camps of martial soldiers stood in formation on a huge plaza.

The oldest of the youths in the five camps wasn't older than sixteen. Every one of them was a genius of the Hundred Battles Lord Dynasty.

Luo Zheng and Wang Nian were among them.

At this moment, Luo Zheng was carrying a brand new leather bag. It was much bigger than the one he had received from Zhong Xiong.

"Those are the martial guards. They are at least in the Blood Tempering Realm. Many of them have even reached the Marrow Changing Realm. These people are the true geniuses of the Hundred Battles Lord Dynasty."

Wang Nian secretly pointed at the youths standing at the front of the five camps.

In the military system of the Hundred Battles Lord Dynasty, the lowest rank was a trainee martial soldier. After that, there were official martial soldiers, elite martial soldiers, martial guards, elite martial guards, martial schools, elite martial schools …

The higher the military rank, the stronger one was.

"They are indeed very strong. However, according to my current cultivation progress, I might be able to surpass them soon. The key is to have a mortal-level superior-grade elixir. Without a powerful elixir, it will be difficult for me to open up my qi sea!"

Luo Zheng glanced at them and smiled faintly. Suddenly, he looked at the front of the Sky Wolf Battalion and realized that the most common people were elite martial soldiers wearing three-headed wolf uniforms.

"Why don't we have martial guards in the Sky Wolf Battalion?"

And martial guards should be wearing four-headed wolf uniforms.

"Sigh, that's why we are said to be the weakest among the royal battalions. Which of those true geniuses would be willing to join us? However, after Xiao Han entered the Blood Tempering Realm, he should have the strength to become a martial guard. You have to be careful. "

As Wang Nian spoke, Luo Zheng also looked in the direction where Xiao Han was standing, his gaze sharp and fierce.

Xiao Han was seven feet tall and had a slender body. He had a tall aquiline nose and long narrow eyes. His gaze was as fierce as an eagle's.

One look and you could tell that this person was a vicious person!

At this moment, Xiao Han also felt Luo Zheng's gaze and turned his head.

"Hmph."

Xiao Han smiled coldly and slowly walked over. He stared at Luo Zheng, "You bastard, you're really lucky. I didn't kill you last time, but you managed to turn the tables."

"Xiao Han, you keep calling me bastard. Did you just eat feces? Your mouth stinks! "

Luo Zheng did not back down. He raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"You've got guts! Aren't you afraid of death? "Xiao Han's eyes narrowed. His handsome face became sinister.

"Haha, are you trying to scare me? Do you dare to touch me here? "

Luo Zheng laughed mockingly. Then his voice turned cold, "Xiao Han, last time you stole my merit and even tried to frame me as a deserter. You wanted to harm my family. This is a death grudge. I won't rest until one of us is dead! You want to kill me, I also want to kill you. This time, only one of us can return from the Blood Purge! "

"Hahaha, good good good. You're right. This time, only I can return from the Blood Purge. You'll definitely die!"

Xiao Han's expression became even more gloomy. He suddenly laughed loudly, "You bastard, I'll let you know that bastards are bastards. A poor family is a poor family. Even if you're lucky and raise your cultivation to the Film Forging Realm, you'll never have the chance to turn the tables!"

Xiao Han's voice was very loud, and he did not try to hide it at all. He was unscrupulous, and he attracted the attention of the surrounding people.

"It's already rare for someone in the Blue Wolf Battalion to break through to the Blood Tempering Realm. Many instructors are paying attention to Xiao Han. It seems that he has a high chance of entering the Five Saints Army. Who the hell is that brat to actually make him so angry? "

"That guy is a poor boy. His name is Luo Zheng."

"Poor family? Such a poor boy. How dare he offend a genius like Xiao Han when he enters the Five Beasts Army? Hmph, he's courting death! "

"Xiao Han has long said that he wants to kill Luo Zheng. Because he was in seclusion to break through to the Blood Tempering Realm, he was able to jump around for so long. Now that Xiao Han's strength has increased tenfold, killing Luo Zheng will be a piece of cake."

Many people looked at Luo Zheng and sneered.

There were no rules in the Blood Purge assessment. As long as one could complete the assessment and walk out alive, he would be the winner.

Therefore, in the eyes of the crowd, he was already a dead man!

Luo Zheng looked at these people. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, but he did not speak.

"Silence!"

Suddenly, all the instructors present shouted in unison. It was like thunder, shaking the heavens and the earth.

Swoosh!

A black ray of light shot into the sky like an arrow, transforming into an imposing figure that hovered in mid-air.

This figure was an extremely handsome young general. His eyebrows were like swords, and his eyes were like stars. He was dressed in black battle armor and exuded a powerful aura.

"Walking on air! This general must be an exceptional expert who has surpassed the Body Tempering Realm! "

Luo Zheng's eyes flashed with desire. Youths who pursued the Martial Dao all hoped that one day, they would be able to walk on air and roam the Nine Heavens!

Only those who had surpassed the Body Tempering Realm were the true experts of this world. They could dominate their own bodies, prolong their lives, and live past a hundred years without losing their Blood Essence. Their bodies would not wither, and their organs would not wither!

"Geniuses of the Hundred Battles Dynasty, today is the start of the Blood Refinement Assessment. This assessment will last for fifteen days. The location of the Blood Refinement is an ancient relic, a steep valley ninety thousand miles away. It is a burial ground for ancient martial artists. There are countless ancient martial artists' graves, absolute art inheritances, natural treasures, and endless dangers! This time, your most basic assessment is to survive! As long as you can survive for fifteen days, you can return to the main camp through the transportation array! "

"If you want to obtain the rewards of this assessment, you must obtain the Five Beast Tokens. Different Five Beast Tokens have corresponding points. The final ranking of the Blood Refinement Assessment will be based on the total points of the Five Beast Tokens obtained. The Five Beast Tokens can be found anywhere in the steep valley. They can be found on trees, underground, in the stomachs of ferocious beasts, or in ancient martial artists' graves. In short, the deeper you go into the steep valley, the higher the chances of obtaining the Five Beast Tokens. Of course, the greater the danger! "

"Also, let me remind you that the Young Phoenix Camp established by Lady Phoenix will also be participating in the Blood Refinement Milk Assessment. You must not lose to them and embarrass the Five Beast Army! Set off and search for the opportunities and providence that belong to you! "

The young general waved his hand, and when his figure disappeared, the transportation array opened!

"What, the Young Phoenix Camp will also be participating in the Blood Refinement? It is said that the Young Phoenix Camp's ability is even above the Flying Dragon Camp!"

"I heard that although the Young Phoenix Camp was established less than half a year ago and has very few people, those who can enter the camp are all famous genius girls of the Hundred Battles Dynasty!"

Chapter 36

Steep Ravine

"Let's go too!"

Luo Zheng only felt a surge of heat in his chest. His heroic spirit instantly rose as he pulled Wang Nian and shot towards the teleportation formation at lightning speed!

After entering the transmission array, Luo Zheng immediately felt a huge force tearing at him.

If a martial artist had never cultivated before and their body was not strong enough, they would have been torn to pieces by this terrifying power.

After all, it was different from when he entered the Five Beast Proving Grounds. It was impossible for people to not feel the spatial fluctuations produced by the long-distance teleportation that was as long as 90,000 miles.

"Wang Nian, be careful!"

Luo Zheng could feel a huge force trying to separate him from Wang Nian. He hurriedly spoke and released his hands.

Whoosh!

A powerful force flung Luo Zheng away. His body flew out of a ten-meter-tall portal and crashed into a patch of woodland.

At that moment, the forest was already filled with many figures. They had also been thrown out. There were youths from the various battalions of the Five Beast Army.

"This is the Ancient Ruins' Bottomless Valley."

Luo Zheng punched the ground, directly offsetting the forward momentum. He rolled a few times on the ground before standing up.

"Why are there only so many people? It seems like there are at least ten of these teleportation portals. "

Luo Zheng looked at the youths who were continuously tossing out teleportation doors. There were about six to seven hundred of them, but Wang Nian was nowhere to be seen. It was obvious that the fatty had been randomly teleported to another exit.

Following that, Luo Zheng's gaze swept across the area, but he didn't find anyone he knew. He looked around.

This was an incomparably large and deep valley. One could faintly see that in the far distance, there were precipices that were tens of thousands of feet high, extending upwards. Gray clouds covered the entire sky, making it impossible to see the end of these precipices.

Ahead of them was a dense forest with ancient trees reaching into the sky. It was dark and gloomy.

"Everyone, come to my side. This time, the Blood Refinement Trial requires us to survive here for fifteen days. This proves that there is a great danger here. There might be powerful vicious beasts. We should gather together as much as possible to resist the danger."

A young man waved his arm and shouted loudly. Suddenly, dozens of people gathered around him and formed a small group.

"Idiot, since you know that there are ferocious beasts here, why are you still shouting? You're courting death."

One of the youths looked at the small group mockingly. His face revealed an expression that said 'you're all dead meat'. Then, he swept away and entered the dense forest.

"Let's go and look for the Five Beast Tablets. As long as we can enter the top 500, we will be rewarded with Blood Nourishing Pills. If we are lucky and enter the top 100, the benefits will be even greater."

"It would be great if I could meet people from the Young Phoenix Camp. I could act as their escort. If I could win the hearts of one or two beauties, then this trip would be worth it."

"Hmph, it is said that the weakest member of the Young Phoenix Battalion is at the Film Forging Realm. I think they should be the ones protecting you."

Soon, many youths left in twos and threes.

"This guy is right. Ferocious beasts use auras to find their prey. If too many people gather together, they will only attract more ferocious beasts. Furthermore, if huddling together could guarantee a safe passage for fifteen days, then this test wouldn't be called a blood purge. "

Luo Zheng thought to himself. Suddenly, his face changed. He heard a faint beast roar in his ears. It was coming in the direction of the transmission array. "There are many ferocious beasts approaching here."

"Everyone should quickly disperse and leave. With so many of us suddenly appearing here, I'm afraid we will attract the ferocious beasts."

After thinking for a while, Luo Zheng reminded them. If they left without saying anything, it would go against their conscience.

"Idiot, the deeper you go into the valley, the more dangerous it is."

"If you want to leave, then leave by yourself. The surroundings are very calm. What kind of ferocious beasts are there? You're just exaggerating!"

Some of the youths who were unwilling to leave sneered and ridiculed.

"Anyway, I have already reminded you. You are asking for trouble, so don't blame me."

Luo Zheng shook his head. He was too lazy to say anything more. Carrying the long leather bag, his figure flashed and jumped into the dense forest.

After walking for a while, Luo Zheng's heart stirred and he swept away.

He sensed a faint spiritual fluctuation that was vaguely emitted from a hundred feet away. "Could it be a treasure of heaven and earth?"

Luo Zheng sprinted a few steps and found an iron plate half the size of a palm on a big tree. On one side, a wolf was engraved, and on the other side, there was a simple "One" character!

"Five Beasts Plate! It seems that the distance is not bad. If all the Five Beasts Plates emit spiritual fluctuations, then to me, it is like a lantern in the dark night. As long as it enters the range of my divine sense, I can easily find it. "

After some thought, Luo Zheng was overjoyed. If the materials used to forge the Five Beast Tablets had a bit of Heaven and Earth spirituality like this, it would be much easier for him to obtain a high ranking in the blood refinement assessment.

"Let's try again!"

Luo Zheng continued to move forward.

Not long after, there were screams behind Luo Zheng. The roars of ferocious beasts and the sounds of battle came one after another.

The sound came from the direction of the transmission array's exit.

"I've already warned you, but you didn't listen. I can't do anything about it." Luo Zheng curled his lips and sped up.

"It seems that this should still be the periphery of the steep valley, so there aren't many Five Beasts Plates." Luo Zheng continued to move forward, but his good luck seemed to have come to an end. After six hours, he still hadn't found a single Five Beasts Plate.

In the steep valley, there were many ferocious beasts. This was only the periphery, but there were already many Bone Forging Realm and even Film Refining Realm ferocious beasts roaming around. However, Luo Zheng's hearing and vision were far superior to others. He also had the ability to sense with his divine sense. Every time, he could easily find a lurking ferocious beast and directly bypass it. Therefore, his speed was much faster than others.

"Oh, there are spiritual fluctuations again."

Luo Zheng easily avoided a Film Refining Realm Gold-back Bear. Suddenly, his eyes flashed with joy and he quickly moved to the right. Not long after, he saw a very conspicuous iron plate hanging on an ancient tree.

"I've finally found another one."

He grinned. His figure moved as if he was flying, sprinting over.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a swift and fierce sound of wind breaking abruptly attacked from behind, aiming straight for Luo Zheng's vital spot in the middle of his back!

"Sneak attack!"

Luo Zheng was shocked. His eyebrows twitched wildly as he fell to the ground and rolled. An iron arrow brushed past his body and pierced through a large tree before stopping.

"You actually didn't die. Count yourself lucky. I'll let you go this time!"

A youth wearing a flying dragon robe had already shot over from behind when Luo Zheng was rolling on the ground. With a few leaps, he landed under the tree and took the iron plate in his hand. He glanced indifferently at Luo Zheng and turned to leave.

"Wait! It's fine if you want to snatch the iron plate, but you want to kill someone. That's too vicious! "

Luo Zheng flipped over and stood up. His eyes revealed a cold light as he stared at the youth.

"Haha, you say I'm vicious? You trash of the Blue Wolf Battalion, do you want to die? Triple Shot! "

The youth from the Flying Dragon Battalion raised his arm. The black iron crossbow in his hand instantly shot out three beams of cold light.

Those who could enter the Flying Dragon Battalion were the most outstanding geniuses in the Five Beasts Army. This youth was only fourteen or fifteen years old, but he was arrogant. He completely ignored Luo Zheng's reprimand and attacked to take his life!

Chi, chi, chi!

Three muffled sounds rang out. Three black crossbow arrows were aimed straight at Luo Zheng's face, chest, and abdomen.

All of them were aimed at his vital points. He wanted to kill Luo Zheng!

"Repeating crossbow!"

Anger flashed across Luo Zheng's eyes. His figure moved, and he happened to dodge the three arrows.

Seeing that his continuous arrows had missed, the youth from the Flying Dragon Battalion was slightly shocked.

His family had spent a large amount of money to buy this black iron repeating crossbow from a crossbow master. It was extremely powerful and could be shot continuously. A Film Forging Realm ancient martial art practitioner would not be able to dodge it.

"Take a few more of my arrows!"

Chi, chi …

After shooting more than ten arrows consecutively, the youth only stopped when the arrow box was empty. He stared at Luo Zheng, dumbfounded.

Almost every time, Luo Zheng waited for the arrows to come close to him before he began to dodge. In such an extremely short distance, it should be impossible to dodge. However, more than ten arrows were shot consecutively, yet they did not even touch the corner of his clothes.

"Kid, did you enjoy shooting just now? Now it's my turn. "

Luo Zheng revealed a cold smile and took out a longbow from his leather bag.

The longbow was grayish-black in color. The bow arm was slender, and the lines were smooth. It had an indescribable beauty.

Its uniqueness was on the bow arm. There was a lightning pattern about the length of a chopstick. It flashed with light and revealed a powerful force. It was obvious that this was an immortal weapon. Moreover, from its brand new appearance, it was a brand new immortal weapon!

"This is an immortal … immortal weapon!" The youth from the Flying Dragon Battalion suddenly widened his eyes. He did not expect to encounter a kid from the Blue Wolf Battalion and meet with such a formidable opponent.

"It's not that easy to kill me!"

The youth from the Flying Dragon Battalion was extremely quick-witted. He turned around and fled.

"You still want to leave? If people don't offend me, I won't offend them. If people offend me, I will definitely kill them!"

Luo Zheng laughed mockingly. His figure flashed as he chased after the youth. At the same time, he took out an arrow from his leather bag and nocked it on the bow. The bow was like a full moon!

Xiu!

Chi la!

The arrow shot out like a bolt of lightning and instantly pierced through the body of the youth in front of him. The power of lightning on the arrow blasted a large hole in the youth's chest. The arrow pierced through and blew apart a large tree that would require three or four people to encircle it.

The eyes of the youth from the Flying Dragon Battalion lost their luster and were filled with terror.

"The power of this Thunderburst Bow is stronger than I imagined!"

Luo Zheng looked at the scene in front of him. He did not expect this either. His pupils contracted and he was greatly surprised.

Previously, when there were only five days left in the blood refinement assessment, Luo Zheng did not continue cultivating.

His cultivation had reached a bottleneck. Unless he obtained an elixir to break through to the Blood Tempering Realm, it would be useless to continue cultivating. Thus, he refined the remaining Thunderburst Metal into two artifacts and gave one of them to Wang Nian to protect his life.

Because it was time for the blood refinement assessment to begin after he finished refining the artifacts, he did not have time to test the power of the artifacts. He did not expect that the first time he used it, its power would greatly exceed his expectations.

"With this Thunderburst Bow, I have the ability to attack from a distance. Even if I expose the Astral Fire Source and Azure Flame Sword, I will still have a way to counterattack when a Blood Tempering Realm opponent pulls away."

Luo Zheng muttered as he took out the items from the youth's body. He took the gold notes, elixir, and five beast tokens and discarded the rest. Then, he put away the Thunderburst Bow and left.

Two days later, Luo Zheng had already entered the depths of the steep valley. He even encountered many Blood Tempering Realm beasts. However, his harvest was not great. He only found a few one-point Ash Wolf tokens.

It was only when he killed a Membrane Forging Realm beast that he found a Blood Leopard token in its stomach.

"The Ash Wolf token is one point, the Blood Leopard token is two points, then the Iron Tiger token should be three points, the Giant Elephant token is four points, and the Flying Dragon token is five points."

Luo Zheng's eyes flickered as he pondered, "Previously, I could only find the Ash Wolf token. It should have something to do with me avoiding the beasts. The military instructors in order to test us, the higher the value of the Five Beasts Tablet, the more dangerous it is. I have been looking for seven points for two days, but in fact, I have been taking a detour. As long as others kill a few more beasts, their points will far surpass mine. "

"Since it's a blood refinement, how could it be easy?"

Rumble … Rumble … Rumble …

Suddenly, a loud sound came from the distance. The ground beneath his feet trembled as if the earth's crust was violently moving.

"That powerful warrior who surpassed the Body Tempering Realm said that the steep valley was the burial ground of ancient martial artists. From the sound of it, it seems like an underground mechanism has been activated. If an ancient tomb is discovered, it is very likely that a powerful martial inheritance will appear. There might even be buried treasures."

Chapter 37

Ancient Tomb

At this moment, an auction was being held at the Purple Cloud Auction House in Imperial War City.

The auction had come to an end. The last item of the auction, the Tiger Piercing Blade, was about to be auctioned.

"Although this Tiger Piercing Blade is a Low Grade Magic Weapon, it is extremely rare to see a Magic Weapon that can release the power of lightning. Not to mention Low Grade Magic Weapons, even Mid Grade Magic Weapons are extremely rare."

"I wonder which Magic Weapon Refiner made it. The destructive power of lightning is extremely strong, and it can even paralyze the opponent and slow down their movements. Although it is a Low Grade Magic Weapon, I'm afraid it will be sold for an extremely high price."

"Some of the first-rate clans have already sent people over. If this Magic Weapon can reach the Mid Grade Magic Weapon level, I'm afraid even those super first-rate clans will fight for it."

In the auction house's main hall, many people were discussing and looking at the VIP seats above the auction house from time to time.

Today was only an ordinary auction in the Purple Cloud Auction House, but almost all the VIP seats were fully booked.

The Tiger Piercing Blade, this Magic Weapon, had displayed a power that far exceeded that of a Low Grade Magic Weapon during the auction three days ago, and it had attracted a lot of attention.

At that time, many people with good eyesight could not tell which Magic Weapon Refiner made this Magic Weapon.

One must know that Magic Weapon Refiners who learned from different masters all had their own methods. Some famous Magic Weapon Refiners would even engrave their own mark on the Magic Weapon that they refined.

But this time, many appraisers could not tell which Magic Weapon Refiner made this Tiger Piercing Blade.

"It is said that although this Magic Weapon is extremely powerful, it is also slightly flawed. Unless it was made by a famous Magic Weapon Refiner, it could also be made by a new Magic Weapon Refiner. That is why no one could recognize it."

In the VIP room, a middle-aged man wearing a blue Qilin robe with a dignified aura and bright eyes said.

"If a new Magic Weapon Refiner can refine such a powerful Magic Weapon, I'm afraid his future will be limitless. Perhaps there is hope that he can restore the clan's treasure. I've already asked around, this Tiger Piercing Blade was auctioned by the Heavenly Fortune Pavilion. "

Behind the middle-aged man, a white-haired old man said.

"How can a Magic Weapon compare to that treasure? Anyway, get in touch with the Heavenly Fortune Pavilion as soon as possible. If this Magic Weapon Refiner makes other Magic Weapons, you must buy them. There are too many Magic Weapons in the clan right now, and they are often worn...

The middle-aged man said.

At this moment, the auction Tiger Piercing Blade.

The price began to soar from the base price of one million taels of gold.

............

"Miss, the leaders of the Lu family, the Zhou family, and a few other aristocratic families are contacting me. They hope to purchase Dharma Artifacts from that blacksmith through us. They also said that they will cooperate with our Heavenly Fortune Pavilion for a long time."

Elder Jia hurriedly entered a VIP room. His wrinkled face was filled with joy as he spoke to the short-haired girl.

. Uncle Jia, thank you for your hard work. If we can work with these big families in the future, we won't have to worry about Bai Xingjian suppressing our business. Even if I die, I will never marry that traitor and let the Heavenly Fortune Pavilion fall into his hands! "

The short-haired girl's beautiful eyes were filled with tears. "If that Magic Weapon Refiner comes, I want to see him personally. Even if I have to kneel, I will ask to work with the Heavenly Fortune Pavilion!"

Boom! Boom!

In the bottomless valley.

The sound of the earth's crust moving had become much softer.

Luo Zheng's figure moved quickly. From afar, he could see that the forest in front of him had disappeared. In its place was a sunken hole. The hole was at least several thousand feet wide and extended downwards. It was so deep that he could not see the bottom.

Many young men from the Five Beasts Army had already arrived. There were more than 100 of them.

Stopping at the edge of the pit, Luo Zheng stretched his head and looked down. He could feel a desolate and ancient aura rushing towards him.

The pit was so deep that he couldn't see the bottom. With his extraordinary eyesight, he couldn't see anything. He could only hear the faint roars of beasts.

"Such a huge pit suddenly appeared. It must be the tomb of an ancient almighty being!"

Many young men were watching, not daring to enter.

"That's right! According to our Zhou Clan's Qi Observation Technique, which has been passed down since ancient times, this should be the tomb of an ancient strong practitioner. Some of the ancient almighties couldn't find a suitable successor at the end of their lives. They would seal their lifetime's worth of knowledge and treasures in their own tombs and bury them deep underground. Although these almighties were dead, their Soul Flames were not extinguished. When they sensed the appearance of a suitable successor, their tombs would appear. Perhaps this time, the successor would appear in our Five Beasts Army. "

A young man with an elegant temperament said lightly. He looked into the depths of the pit, his eyes flashing with a blue light.

"Chu Xingtian, why do you make it sound so mysterious? What successor? Since this is the tomb of an ancient strong practitioner, the owner of the tomb must have been dead for at least hundreds of thousands of years. How could his soul not be extinguished? The treasures, martial arts, and inheritance in the tomb naturally belong to the capable! "

A tall young man with stars in his eyes said mockingly.

"If you don't dare to go, let me take it!"

With that, air surged around him and wrapped around his body. His body shot into the pit like an arrow.

"Who cares? If I can get the inheritance of this ancient strong practitioner, I can soar to the sky and revitalize my clan!"

"If I can find some ancient sacred medicine in there, I might be able to break through the Body Tempering Stage and become a true strong practitioner!"

"I can't let go of such an opportunity. Let's fight!"

Some of the young men saw that someone had entered before them and didn't dare to stay. Some who were confident in their cultivation and strength disappeared into the pit without hesitation.

"Humph, you're digging your own grave!"

The young man called Chu Xingtian hesitated for a moment, then turned and left with a few others.

"Let's go too. The Chu Clan has been passed down since ancient times and has a history of hundreds of thousands of years. They are proficient in the Qi Observation Technique and have always been prosperous. Even Chu Xingtian doesn't dare to enter. I'm afraid it's extremely dangerous."

"That's right. Why don't we find more Five Beasts Tablets and fight for the rewards of the Blood Refinement?"

Soon, a few of the young men left. They resisted the temptation and turned around.

However, there were also many who were unwilling to give up. They found familiar people and formed a small group to enter the pit.

"Look, those people seem to be … girls!"

"They're from the Young Phoenix Camp."

Five graceful figures walked over hand in hand.

When they got closer, they saw that these figures were all young girls with black veils covering their faces. Their clothes had the mark of a young phoenix.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh …

These young girls didn't stop and directly entered the pit.

When they saw that the talented young girls from the Young Phoenix Camp had also entered, more people couldn't help but become excited. Those who were previously hesitant also followed closely behind them.

After a while, there were only a few people left around the pit.

"It seems that there are many dangers in this ancient tomb. It's dangerous to go in alone!"

Luo Zheng was considering whether or not he should enter the pit. When an ancient expert's tomb appeared, there would inevitably be many treasures appearing. There might even be powerful ancient martial arts, pills, and spirit medicines. Once he grasped the opportunity, he would be able to soar to the heavens.

Such an opportunity might not come by once in a lifetime. It would be a pity if he gave it up.

Just as he was thinking, Luo Zheng suddenly felt a chill in his heart. It was as if a terrifying murderous aura was attacking him. It was as if there was a thorn in his back. He quickly turned his head to look.

Instead, he saw a tall and burly young man wearing a three-headed elephant robe walking towards him with a silly smile on his face.

"Haha, brother from the Blue Wolf Camp, my name is Song Chen. We want to enter the tomb and we're missing one person. Do you want to come along? Hahaha. "

The tall young man's body was like an ancient fierce tiger. His muscles were as hard as steel and there was a powerful aura emanating from his body. He was a Blood Tempering Realm martial artist.

However, the tall young man gave off the feeling of a sheep. He had a simple and honest smile on his face and looked harmless to humans and animals. It made people feel a sense of trust in him.

This was a simple and honest young man.

Behind him were two other youths. They were also elite soldiers of the Giant Elephant Camp. They were both in the Blood Tempering Realm and had a shrewd appearance.

"Big guy, why are you calling this brat? He's just a Film Forging Realm brat. He'll only drag us down."

"That's right. This brat is from the Blue Wolf Camp. I'm afraid his strength isn't even comparable to the Bone Tempering trash in our Giant Elephant Camp."

The two of them looked at Luo Zheng with disdain and sneered.

Luo Zheng frowned but didn't say anything.

"Haha, don't worry. I, Song Chen, will take care of this brother from the Blue Wolf Camp. I won't trouble you."

The big guy smiled foolishly and turned to Luo Zheng. He said with good intentions, "How about it brother? Is there such an opportunity? If you miss it, you'll definitely regret it. In any case, if you find it yourself, then it's yours. If everyone finds it together, then we'll split it evenly. Then we'll exchange according to our needs."

When the other two heard Song Chen's words, they looked at each other and sneered. They didn't say anything else.

"This big idiot called Song Chen seems to have a good heart. I have to be wary of the other two. But that murderous aura just now didn't seem like something those two fellows could emit. Could it be that one of them is hiding his strength?"

Luo Zheng pondered for a moment before nodding his head.

Just now, he had clearly felt a gaze filled with murderous intent staring at him from behind. He was afraid that one of the other two youths had an extremely great enmity towards him.

The reason Luo Zheng still decided to enter the Ancient Tomb with Song Chen and the other two was because of Celestial Origin Qi.

A million years ago, the Spirit Sword Heavenly Lord had used his power to condense the eighty-one Heaven Connecting Swords. Many of the materials used were rare heavenly treasures. If he had to slowly collect them one by one, he didn't know how many years he would have to spend.

And these ancient experts were powerful, their cultivation was profound, and their lifespans were extremely long. He didn't know how many tens of thousands of years they had lived, so they must have collected a lot of treasures. If he could find a few materials used to condense the Heaven Connecting Swords, it would save him a lot of trouble.

Moreover, the Heaven Connecting Sword Formation didn't necessarily need to condense eighty-one Heaven Connecting Swords to display the power of the formation. The most basic formation only needed two swords to display its power.

It was known as the Two Elements Star Killing Formation!

"Then let's go. If we're late, I'm afraid all the benefits will be taken away."

The four of them started moving at the same time. Following the gentle slope, they swept down.

Along the way, they exchanged names with each other. Luo Zheng then knew that the other two youths were called Tang Zhi and Zhou Dongshi.

After a quarter of an hour, the four of them also reached the bottom of the pit. They discovered that there was a huge square at the bottom of the pit. The ground was completely made up of hard rocks.

It was pitch black all around. Luo Zheng was somewhat surprised to find that his vision was not greatly affected by the darkness. He couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart.

At this time, Tang Zhi and Zhou Dongshi also took out their illuminating pearls. They could see that in the middle of the square, there was a huge passageway extending out.

There was no one around. It was obvious that the people who had come down before had already entered the passageway.

The four of them looked at each other and walked into the passageway.

After walking for a while, they discovered the corpses of more than ten ferocious beasts. These ferocious beasts were all above the Blood Tempering Realm. Although they were already dead, they still emitted a powerful aura.

Beside the ferocious beasts' corpses were a few youths from the Five Beast Army. Some of their bodies had been bitten in two, while others had their heads separated from their bodies. All of them had died in a gruesome manner.

After walking for a while more, a huge hall appeared at the end of the passageway. It was at least a few hundred square meters in size. In this space, there were many strange rocks. Some simple stone towers rose from the ground.
