Chapter 1132

"But..."

Very quickly, Venerable Yunxiu gave a sly, cunning smile, "As for the price, naturally it will be a bit more expensive than just a simple repair!"

"After all, the ability to further reinforce your Lifebound Magical Treasure and make it even better than before—Qin Qi, my young friend, you won’t find many on the battlefield who can offer that!"

At this moment, Qin Qi was indeed tempted.

After thinking it over, he asked, "Senior Yunxiu, when it comes to strengthening the Lifebound Magical Treasure, I don’t really know a thing about it!"

"Don’t worry!"

Venerable Yunxiu patted his chest and said, "I’ve naturally got a way for this. You just need to tell me the attribute of your core cultivation technique!"

"Gold Attribute," Qin Qi replied.

The Celestial Spirit Pure Yang Skill was, by nature, a Gold Attribute technique.

Venerable Yunxiu rummaged through the materials he had just pulled out, "Since it’s a Gold Attribute technique, then the reinforcement of your Lifebound Magical Treasure must naturally fit the technique you cultivate!"

"These materials: one is Hua Wu Essence, used evenly for forging. It can substantially boost the power of your twelve Sword Boxes!"

"This black lump is North Sea Cold Marrow. It can greatly increase the toughness of your Magical Treasure!"

He introduced several in a row.

But Qin Qi remained unmoved, his expression unchanged.

"What, Qin Qi? None of these caught your eye?" Venerable Yunxiu asked, surprised.

Qin Qi was silent for a while, then slowly said, "I suspect, Senior Yunxiu, that you have some rare materials you haven’t shown yet!"

"Since this chance to strengthen my Lifebound Magical Treasure is so rare, I have to treasure it dearly."

Hearing this,

Venerable Yunxiu squinted his eyes into a thin line.

He quickly grinned, "Heh, Qin Qi, you’ve got quite the ambition! What, you’re eyeing even the treasures I’ve kept hidden at the bottom of my chest?"

"However, every one of those treasures is immensely valuable. If you want me to take them out, shouldn’t you show me what you’ve got for the exchange, so I know you have the capital?"

Qin Qi smiled, "Rest assured, Senior, if I dare bring it up, then naturally, I do have some capital!"

He finished speaking, and with a wave of his hand, placed ten century-old Spirit Plants in front of them.

When they saw these ten century-old Spirit Plants, the previously unperturbed look in Venerable Yunxiu’s eyes instantly faltered.

Immediately, greed surged forth.

Seeing the greed flash in Yunxiu’s eyes, Housekeeper Wu and the Four Demons of Yuanxin all grew nervous, their nerves taut.

Luckily, Venerable Yunxiu quickly calmed down; apparently, he knew that tearing things apart in Xuantian City wasn’t worthwhile.

He then said, "Heh, Qin Qi, you’ve got plenty of century-old Spirit Plants, huh? Well, since you’ve shown real sincerity, I certainly won’t disappoint you!"

"I’ll take out my hidden treasures for you to see!"

After he finished, Venerable Yunxiu flicked his finger, and a handful of materials appeared.

"This is..."

"Millennium Black Tube Stone?"

"This Black Tube Stone is said to be a treasure buried thousands of meters underground. When it was unearthed, it caused quite the bloodbath! Magical Treasures forged from this stone don’t just have astonishing durability; their power is also greatly enhanced."

"If the Young Master forges his Lifebound Magical Treasure from this stone, its power will probably reach a terrifying level!"

"There’s also this Demon Flame Beast Feather, and..."

Seeing these materials displayed, Housekeeper Wu and his group were all dumbstruck.

Venerable Yunxiu pointed, "Qin Qi, in my opinion, this Millennium Black Tube Stone is already the limit for forging your Lifebound Magical Treasure!"

"Of course, about the price—I want you mentally prepared. Just ten century-old Spirit Grasses won’t whet my appetite!"

But Qin Qi wasn’t focused on this Millennium Black Tube Stone.

Instead, his gaze shifted to a creamy white liquid that Yunxiu hadn’t introduced.

The creamy white liquid was extremely strange—partly like a web, partly like milk. It even seemed... alive.

After being taken out, it kept squirming!

"Senior, what’s this?" Qin Qi pointed at it.

"Oh?"

Seeing Qin Qi’s interest, Venerable Yunxiu narrowed his eyes, "I can’t say exactly where it came from, only that it’s called Profound Crystal Flowing Iron. It’s said to be a relic left by the earliest great powers before the birth of the secret realms!"

"Although this is a fluid like water, it’s absolutely indestructible—the more powerful the attack, the stronger it gets!"

"But..."

Qin Qi asked, "But what?"

Venerable Yunxiu slowly replied, "Qin Qi, if you want to forge your Magical Treasure with this Profound Crystal Flowing Iron, it might not be compatible. You’re cultivating a Gold Attribute technique, and the Millennium Black Tube Stone fits you better!"

"Moreover, using Profound Crystal Flowing Iron, I can’t guarantee success. If it fails, both the materials and your Magical Treasure may be ruined!"

Qin Qi didn’t rush to respond.

He actually didn’t know what this Profound Crystal Flowing Iron really was.

He chose it purely because the Golden Crow Dharma Eye within him was itching restlessly.

Housekeeper Wu chimed in, "Young Master, this Profound Crystal Flowing Iron is indeed as Venerable Yunxiu said—it’s bizarre, and there’s really no proper method for smelting it!"

"Trying to forge it into a Magical Treasure is extremely difficult. And it’s not that people haven’t tried before—the outcomes were all less than ideal!"

Venerable Yunxiu yawned, "Never mind how to forge it—it all depends on your will. But, getting this Profound Crystal Flowing Iron is no easier than the Millennium Black Tube Stone. It’s just as rare!"

"If Qin Qi wants it, like I said before—on the Spirit Plant side..."

Qin Qi cursed inwardly at the old fox, but showed nothing on the surface as he asked, "How many Spirit Plants would Senior like?"

Venerable Yunxiu gave a wide grin, "Eighty century-old Spirit Plants!"

Qin Qi burst out laughing, "Senior Yunxiu, sure, you aren’t shy about asking, huh? Eighty century-old Spirit Plants—you think I can pull that off?"

"Even if I could, swapping eighty century-old Spirit Plants for a bit of Profound Crystal Flowing Iron—is that realistic?"

Venerable Yunxiu folded his arms and drawled, "That’s your problem, nothing to do with me!"

Housekeeper Wu interjected, "Young Master, this Profound Crystal Flowing Iron isn’t really suited for your Magical Treasure, and forging might not even succeed. Eighty is really too much!"
