Slaying Demons: Starting with Upgrading my Calligraphy-Chapter 668 - 557: Acquired Divine Instrument (2)

However, this prescription is a relic from the Primordial Era.

Such a distant time has led to the complete extinction of many Immortal Grass and Precious Medicines.

With only the prescription, it's impossible to produce it.

"Elder Xu, Shen Wansan's eagerness for this Treasure Medicine must be genuine.

If I use this as leverage, do you think I could exchange it for the Tapo Strange Leaf and Desire Heaven Blood?"

Qi Xiu's words made Xu Zhitian pause, then he replied solemnly:

"It should be possible. The Tapo Strange Leaf and Desire Heaven Blood are indeed rare, but to a Primordial Spirit True Honor, they are not irreplaceable.

The prescription for the Heavenly Patching Elixir has long been lost, only I hold it.

If he wants this Treasure Medicine, even though it's difficult, he will help you find the Tapo Strange Leaf and Desire Heaven Blood.

Moreover, you don't necessarily have to use this leverage to get the Tapo Strange Leaf and Desire Heaven Blood.

You only need to..."

Unbeknownst to Shen Wansan, Qi Xiu and the Flying Immortal Pot were secretly scheming.

Seeing Qi Xiu remain silent, Shen Wansan thought he was still hesitating and immediately offered a new chip:

"If Qi Daoist is willing to help me, consider it a favor you owe me."

At Shen Wansan's words, Qi Xiu immediately looked up in surprise, even Xu Zhitian from the Flying Immortal Pot let out a light exclamation.

A favor.

In the mundane world, a favor might just be a promise, a matter of human relationships and obligations.

But for a Primordial Spirit True Venerable standing at the peak of the heavens and earth,

A favor implies countless entanglements of cause and effect.

To a Primordial Spirit True Venerable who transcends the mundane, it's a significant negative influence.

And yet Shen Wansan is willing to use a favor to exchange for the Heavenly Patching Elixir, clearly indicating that the child of that old acquaintance he mentioned is very important to him.

"Since the True Venerable has said so, I will do my best to help you.

I hope you can give me some time to discuss with the Flying Immortal Pot's Spirit, I will give you a prompt reply."

Not agreeing immediately, Shen Wansan is a tycoon of the world, and if agreed too quickly, he will surely detect something.

Thus, Qi Xiu used the excuse of discussion to stall for time.

"This is fine, here is my command token, with this token, you can move freely within ten thousand miles of my Golden Treasure Tower.

But don't wander too far, the Dao Alliance is not absolutely safe.

Even though you are strong, if you inadvertently break the Dao Alliance's rules, you will be heavily punished."

Handing a command token with a golden ingot imprint in the center to Qi Xiu, after giving a few instructions, Shen Wansan watched Qi Xiu leave.

Dong——

The heavy golden gates, weighing over ten thousand pounds, closed with a deafening sound.

Shen Wansan's smile faded as the doors closed, leaving a face devoid of expression and extremely cold.

"This Hunyuan Myriad Laws True Monarch truly lives up to his reputation, with exceptional wit and heavenly means, even father your personal intervention couldn't suppress him.

If this person grows, he might become another towering figure.

By then, the Shenxiao Sect with one sect and two True Venerables, their strength will elevate another notch."

A somewhat weak voice came from behind the screen. Holding a peach wood cane, a man with a pale face, bearing seven-tenths resemblance to Shen Wansan but with a thin frame, walked out slowly.

"Why are you out again? Your life span is already limited, you cannot afford further depletion."

With a wave of his sleeve, several emerald green light clusters floated in Shen Wansan's palm. He casually shattered the clusters, and a vast and mighty life force surged into the man's body.

But this life force, enough to revive the dead and flesh the bones, after entering the man's body, only made his face slightly more flush, with no other changes.

"The Immortal Pond is simply too stifling, I wanted to come out for some fresh air."

Just a few steps, and Shen Changming was already a bit breathless, leaning on his cane, he explained to Shen Wansan.

"You child... Rest assured, father has already finalized talks with Qi Xiu, with the Flying Immortal Pot in hand, he can surely refine the Heavenly Patching Elixir to cure your stubborn ailment.

By then, you won't need to enter the Immortal Pond anymore."

Summoning a wooden chair with a thought, allowing Shen Changming to sit, Shen Wansan placed one hand on his forehead, his expression becoming even more solemn.

The spirit soul has shrunk considerably, it seems unless Ming'er is completely sealed in the Immortal Pond, his spirit soul will not endure much longer.

But doing this, what difference does he have from a dead person?

"This unfilial child has caused father so much trouble for so many years." Trying to muster a smile, Shen Changming said:

"Child just divined again.

The divination shows that this Hunyuan True Monarch's fate is exceptionally unique, existing within the heavens and earth, yet beyond Qiankun, elusive and ungraspable.

Such a fate, I have never seen before.

Thus, I deduce, this person is bound to unleash great waves between heaven and earth in the future, father if you can build a good relationship with him, you may advance further..."

Before he could finish, Shen Changming suddenly spat a mouthful of blood, instantly staining a large part of the golden floor.

"Ming'er!"

With a light cry, Shen Wansan quickly produced a large quantity of lifespan-extending and vital essence replenishing divine objects, shredding them, sending them into Shen Changming's body.

"How many times have I told you, stop using the 'Forty-Nine Heavenly Mystery Technique', this method accelerates the shrinkage of your spirit soul, and I wondered why your spirit soul was deteriorating so rapidly!"

While replenishing Shen Changming's vitality, Shen Wansan chided in a low voice, yet the panic in his eyes betrayed the concern of a father.

"Father, rest assured, I am aware of my limits.

Nowadays, the heavenly secrets are becoming increasingly obscure and murky, all the techniques for divining heavenly secrets are beginning to fail.

Only my 'Forty-Nine Heavenly Mystery Technique' can barely make predictions.

Since the epochal catastrophe is approaching, with my broken body, I may not survive until then.

So before that happens, I want to help father as much as I can."

"You child..." Not knowing what else to say, Shen Wansan could only convert all the worries into a long sigh that echoed throughout the Golden Tower.

...

"Great Five Elements Path? You want to forge a Great Dao Divine Artifact yourself?"

Seven thousand miles from the Golden Tower by a riverside, Qi Xiu's figure trembled slightly, and phantom figures walked out one after another, dispersing this way and that, standing guard and protecting the area.

Setting up the seclusion environment with external incarnations, Qi Xiu brought out the [Twenty-Four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls] and the [Great Five Elements Annihilation Heavenly Wheel] obtained from Shen Wansan.

When the two magical treasures appeared simultaneously, a mysterious and elusive aura subtly manifested as five colorful bodhi clasps, instantly connecting, emitting a radiant like glow, remarkably beautiful.

Even Xu Zhitian materialized from Qi Xiu's body, gazing curiously at the two magical treasures before him.

As the Alchemical Dao Divine Instrument, he had a special sense for the existence of other Great Dao Divine Artifacts.

From these two magical treasures, he indeed sensed a hint of a kindred aura. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"Indeed, this [Twenty-Four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls] and the [Great Five Elements Annihilation Heavenly Wheel] were originally two parts of a whole.

If one can merge them into one, it would forge a Great Dao Divine Artifact.

Although it is an Acquired Divine Instrument, it cannot compare to your Innate Divine Instrument.

Yet for me, the True Monarch of the Dao Body, it is already more than enough."

Sitting cross-legged, phantom figures continuously emerged from Qi Xiu, each transforming into external incarnations that looked exactly like him, though with only one percent of his cultivation.

Crafting an Acquired Divine Instrument without tools, even merely merging two semi-finished products, was well beyond the capabilities of a True Monarch of the Dao Body.

But now, while Sect Master Dongfang Qing was at an unknown whereabouts outside the domain, and the other Primordial Spirit True Honors he knew could not be fully trusted.

Therefore, this task of forging an Acquired Divine Instrument could only be undertaken by himself.

Gazing at the external incarnations sitting cross-legged beside Qi Xiu, exuding the same aura as him, Xu Zhitian clicked his tongue in admiration.

The Great Saint's One Turns into Three Thousand Technique at its peak could transform into millions, each with ten percent of the original's power.

This lad, without the Great Saint bloodline, yet able to master such a secret technique, truly is an anomaly.

But wait, that's not right.

Maybe he indeed has the bloodline of a Great Saint, who knows.

If so, this old one might indeed know a few secret burial sites left by the Great Saint...
