Chapter 1230 The opportunity for Su Zhenyue to display her divine power before the people of Shatter
"If that's all there is to it, I'm afraid there won't be enough time." Duke Wuwei frowned deeply.
"I'll start anyway."
Gu Xiu didn't hesitate. Regardless of the outcome, this was the final choice. Rather than wasting more time, it was better to preserve the Holy Light Core first; otherwise, if it continued to dissipate like this, the situation would likely worsen.
Zhao Jijiu clearly understood the seriousness of the matter.
He immediately led people to a very spacious room for Gu Xiu, which contained many tools for mechanical arts. Afterwards, he immediately arranged for people to go to Jubao City and transfer the Spirit Rhinoceros Ice Ivory to Jubao City as quickly as possible.
Once all the necessary preparations were complete, Zhao Jijiu, along with two disciples, assisted Gu Xiu:
"To place the Holy Light inside, we need to use the power of the Mo family's divine way to assist us. Each layer needs to be engraved with specific Mo family divine way mechanisms and divine patterns."
“In this way, we’ll start by completing the blank, and then you’ll be in charge of the overall carving. As each layer is completed, I will use divine power to enhance it. Once the 365th layer is completed, we can seal the Holy Light Core inside.”
"You two, hurry up and get the tools!"
Knowing the importance of the matter, Zhao Jijiu explained it to Gu Xiu and then directed his disciples to begin crafting the initial prototype. In short, it involved cutting the irregularly shaped, gold-flecked black stone into the desired size.
They had all the necessary tools; even for a single stone, they had a specialized saw and whetstone. However, as Zhao Jijiu had said, this gold-sprinkled black stone was extremely sturdy. They broke several saw blades in a row, but only managed to cut off a small, excess piece.
Gu Xiu looked at it for a while and said, "I'll do it."
"You?" Zhao Jijiu was taken aback, then realized that his words might have been a bit disrespectful, so he added, "Gold-sprinkled black stone is difficult to carve. Leave this rough work to them. You should conserve your energy."
"It's alright, my method might be faster." Gu Xiu said, taking the gold-flecked black stone. After confirming its location, he immediately formed a sword shape with his fingers and tried to cut into the gold-flecked black stone.
"clang!"
With a loud bang, Gu Xiu glanced at the scene and realized that his spiritual energy sword had only left a mark on the gold-sprinkled black stone.
Gu Xiu decided not to waste any more effort and casually flipped the sword, instantly obtaining the Immortal Crossing Sword.
"This is... a sword?"
"Wow, so this is the magic weapon? This sword is so beautiful!"
"How can the sword blade appear and disappear so subtly? What material is it made of?"
As expected, the appearance of the Immortal Crossing Sword immediately drew gasps from the people around him. Gu Xiu smiled but did not answer. He simply picked up the Immortal Crossing Sword and tried to cut it.
Unsurprisingly.
The Immortal Crossing Sword was, after all, the pinnacle of Gu Xiu and Shattered Star's work. Although the gold-sprinkled black stone was incredibly hard, it appeared quite fragile in front of the Immortal Crossing Sword. With a single sweep of the sword's edge, a piece was instantly sliced off.
It looked as if he were cutting fruit rather than stones.
This naturally caused another gasp of surprise.
Gu Xiu ignored him and found the right spot to cut again, but just as he was about to make a move, a large black hand reached out and blocked him.
Gu Xiu remained silent and looked up.
But then Sui Xing appeared out of nowhere, wearing a cloak. The two eyes that appeared on the black forging platform were particularly deep: "Xiao Xiu, go and rest over there. This time, we must strive for perfection in the forging, so let's leave it to your elder brother."
Gu Xiu: ...
Something doesn't feel right; Suixing doesn't usually like doing chores.
Gu Xiu turned around and saw that the Mo family members, who had been praising the Immortal Crossing Sword, were now staring blankly at the walking forging platform, their eyes filled with shock.
"The forging...the forging platform can talk!"
"A weapon spirit? Is this the legendary weapon spirit? It's said that only those who reach the pinnacle of weapon crafting can create one!"
"My God, this is also a magic weapon!"
"..."
Hearing these words, Gu Xiu glanced at Sui Xing, whose eyes were still deep and who looked like an aloof master.
have to.
I understand what happened.
The attempt to slap someone in the face failed, but the opportunity to shine in front of others should still be seized?
Gu Xiu found it somewhat amusing, but he didn't stop him. He simply and generously handed over the Immortal Crossing Sword and the Gold-Sprinkled Black Stone: "Brother Sui, you've worked hard. Everyone, this is my magic weapon and also my brother. In the art of weapon crafting, it is the true master, so I'll hand it over from here on out."
As soon as he finished speaking, Sui Xing gave Gu Xiu a look that said, "You're pretty smart, kid."
Gu Xiu returned a look that said, "Don't mess this up."
"Alright, then it's my turn now." Sui Xing waved his hand, signaling Gu Xiu to step aside. Gu Xiu was a little speechless, but still wisely retreated. He saw that Sui Xing had been looking at the gold-sprinkled black stone for a while, and then tossed it into the air.
The next moment, he threw out the Immortal-Crossing Sword as well.
Immediately afterwards, the Immortal Crossing Sword perfectly complemented its elder brother's performance, its sword light flashing coldly as it swiftly sliced through the falling gold-sprinkled black stone. As the stone fragments flew, a perfect sphere appeared in a few moments.
This scene.
My jaw dropped again.
But Sui Xing's eyes remained aloof as she glanced indifferently at Zhao Jijiu: "You are Zhao Jijiu, right?"
"Yes, I am!"
"Okay, I'll call you Xiao Zhao. Xiao Zhao, I know you must have a lot of questions and surprises, but now we need to focus on the work at hand. I'm going to start carving the Ghost Craft Ball. I'm very fast, so you'll have to get closer."
"Yes! I will obey your orders!" Zhao, the chief priest, replied hastily, showing no trace of the demeanor expected of a temple priest.
See this.
Gu Xiu simply stopped staying inside.
Shattered Star can refine magical artifacts on its own. Don't underestimate it just because it's a magical artifact; its weapon spirit is extremely powerful, and its refining ability is even stronger than those so-called top weapon refiners. Naturally, there won't be any problems with a mere Ghost Crafting Ball.
Stepping outside, one sees the City Lord of Wuwei arranging for people to follow the disciples of the Mo Family Divine Path to Jubao City and obtain the Spirit Rhinoceros Ice Ivory as quickly as possible.
However, his condition was very bad, and he was still coughing constantly.
After the other party finished making arrangements, Gu Xiu took out several pills and handed them over. Duke Wuwei hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse. After thanking him, he immediately swallowed the pills. The next moment, his expression suddenly changed, and a flush appeared on his pale face:
"This is... an elixir of immortality?"
"A Rejuvenating Pill made from spiritual herbs," Gu Xiu replied. "It can heal many injuries. Take a look at the current situation."
"Excellent! What a wondrous thing!" Wuwei Gong exclaimed, and even went to the side to punch a few times. However, his face soon turned pale again, and he coughed again with a loud waa. Seeing this, Gu Xiu frowned and stepped forward to investigate.
After a moment, he couldn't help but frown: "Your lifespan..."
"My time is almost up." The Lord of Wuwei City was quite nonchalant: "I was already a person who was about to die. Without spiritual power to nourish my body, only the physical body tempering method can keep my body at its peak. In addition, the power of the divine path can prolong my life. I have lived for nearly 30,000 years, and I am basically at the end of my life."
Gu Xiu remained silent.
Everyone is pursuing the art of immortality. Many of the powerful beings who ascend to immortality in the vast universe are trapped by the ten-thousand-year limit. Even if they manage to ascend to immortality after great hardships, they will only enter the Three Realms Sea of Sin.
There is no immortality here either.
Ordinary people have a lifespan similar to that of mortals. Even semi-saints in the divine path only live for a few thousand years. Only those who cultivate their physical bodies and reach the level of Martial Might Duke can struggle for a little longer, but they still have a limit.
"Actually, I could have lived for another eight hundred or a thousand years, but the power of the Three-Colored Divine Light last night depleted my vital essence. Now I have to count the days until I die." As he spoke, Duke Wuwei asked the question he had asked before:
"Therefore, Wuwei City needs someone who can stand up, and I hope that person is you."
Gu Xiu shook his head: "I've already said that before..."
“I understand your reasons, but I also have my reasons for choosing you. Even if it’s not for anything else, just the fact that your emotions are not easily affected by the power of the Sea of Sin makes you the best choice. If it were someone else, even if they were stronger than you, they would probably only lead Wuwei City to destruction in the end.”
"And I can give you something in return."
As Wuwei Gong spoke, he took out a book from his bosom and handed it to Gu Xiu: "You seem to be following the path of body refinement as well, and have even reached the Divine Essence Realm. This is the path of body refinement for later stages."
Gu Xiu glanced at it. His Myriad Origins Body Tempering Technique was incomplete, only reaching the Divine Marrow Realm. He didn't have any subsequent body tempering techniques yet. Although this body tempering technique might not be the Myriad Origins Body Tempering Technique, it would definitely be helpful to him.
but……
He didn't answer.
Once you accept this body-refining technique, it represents not just a technique, but a responsibility—a very heavy responsibility—a responsibility concerning fifty million people.
"Take it!" Seeing that Gu Xiu hesitated to accept it, Duke Wuwei simply shoved it into Gu Xiu's arms, saying before Gu Xiu could refuse:
"Even if you don't become the city lord, this body-refining technique should still be given to you. Consider it... compensation for helping Wuwei City extend its lifespan by a few days. So, don't feel burdened."
Ok?
Gu Xiu, who heard this, suddenly paused, stunned: "You just said...prolonging life?"
“That’s right. People in Wuwei City only live for five days to begin with, but now they can last for twenty days. Isn’t that like extending their lives? So just take it. I can’t force you to be the city lord if you don’t want to.” The city lord of Wuwei City nodded and said.
But Gu Xiu's eyes lit up.
With a casual flick of his wrist, a peach appeared in his hand, which he then handed to Duke Wuwei.
"This is...?" Wuwei Gong's eyelids twitched wildly. Although he did not follow the path of spiritual energy, he was still able to sense powerful life essence in body refinement. He could feel that this peach contained very vigorous life essence!
Gu Xiu said directly, "The peaches of immortality, a specialty of Penglai Immortal Island, can extend one's lifespan by five hundred years. With your current physical strength, you can't extend your lifespan by five hundred years, but extending it by ten years shouldn't be a problem."
"Hiss!" Upon hearing this, even Duke Wuwei was stunned. There were no treasures that could prolong life in the Sea of Sin, since even if plants grew in the wild, most of them were poisonous. For a single peach to extend one's life by five hundred years was simply beyond imagination.
"You... you just gave this to me like that?"
"Well, it's a matter of reciprocity, so I can practice the body-refining technique you gave me with a clear conscience. Besides, it also serves to dispel your idea of making me the city lord; I'm really not suited for that."
"Such a precious thing..."
"Actually, it's not so bad." Gu Xiu casually flipped over and found another one. The Penglai Peach was indeed precious and rarely seen in the vast universe. It was definitely an extremely rare spiritual fruit.
but.
It's just that Su Zhenyue, the Fairy Su, has debuted quite a few times.
Gu Xiu had given some away, but he still had a few left. One of these pills was effective, but the second one had no effect on prolonging life, so Gu Xiu had been keeping them. He hadn't expected this.
This time it's perfect.
I wonder if I'll be able to run into that Moon-pillow Fairy again when she officially debuts.
