Chapter 435: Holy Armor Gu Advancement

After Xing Yixuan returned to Fangzhu City, she waited for several days before she saw Xing Wenyao breaking through the barrier at the top of Yunxiao Peak.

"See you, ancestor." Xing Yixuan bowed and saluted.

Xing Wenyao responded, "Is this trip going well?"

Xing Yixuan took off a spirit beast bag from her waist and held it in her hands.

"Ancestor, everything went well. I captured a second-level peak dark fox."

Xing Wenyao raised his hand and the spirit beast bag flew up and fell into his hand.

The spirit beast bag was opened, and a dark fox with two tails suddenly appeared.

Minghu bared his teeth and looked fierce.

But after feeling a trace of Xing Wenyao's aura, Minghu immediately became docile and curled up at Xing Wenyao's feet, like a well-behaved pet.

Xing Wenyao nodded with satisfaction and said to Xing Yixuan.

"Thank you for your hard work. In the Ghost Mist Realm, there are many dangers. It is not easy to catch a second-level peak ghost fox."

Xing Yixuan said, "Thanks to the ancestor's cultivation in the past, Yixuan is what she is today. It is Yixuan's luck to be able to do her best for the ancestor. If there is nothing else, Yixuan will retire first."

Xing Wenyao said, "Just wait a moment."

Xing Yixuan said, "Ancestor, do you have any other instructions?"

Xing Wenyao said, "Xing Liren plans to take advantage of the magic conference to gather nine soul source body monks in the Qi refining stage to refine the Heavenly Spirit Pill."

When Xing Yixuan heard this, she looked surprised and a little confused.

"Xing Liren wants to refine the Heavenly Spirit Pill? How can he possibly raise nine third-level alchemists?"

Xing Wenyao said, "Don't forget, his mother is from the Jing family. With the help of the Jing family, a few third-level alchemists mean nothing."

Xing Yixuan said, "The Jing family can't be so kind and help him for no reason."

Xing Wenyao said, "You are right, Xing Liren did betray the interests of our Xing family. He used the first two levels of "Concentrating Soul Thorn" in exchange for the Jing family's help."

"Xing Liren is simply not a son of a man. The "Ningshen Thorn" is a secret that is not passed down by my Xing family. How can I give the "Ningshen Thorn" to others for my own selfish interests?"

Xing Yixuan's tone was filled with anger.

Then, she suddenly thought of something and asked with a puzzled look on her face.

"Since you already know about this, ancestor, why don't you step forward to stop Xing Liren?"

Xing Wenyao said, "Why do you want to stop it? Haven't you also not practiced the second level of "Condensing Thorn"?"

Xing Yixuan's eyes lit up, "Ancestor, you mean..."

Xing Wenyao said, "You only need to know about this matter, and don't spread it outside. The place where Xing Liren chose to make alchemy is Zhenbaofeng. It is not convenient for me to participate in this matter. How to do it is up to you."

Xing Yixuan said with a bit of joy on her face, "I obey, ancestor."

...

There is less than a year left until the magic conference is held.

Song Wen was practicing hard to improve his strength while paying attention to the movements of Fang Zhucheng and Zhenbaofeng.

He got a lot of poisonous things from Du Lao Gui's poison cave, which were just suitable for him to practice the "Ten Thousand Poison Hunyuan Body".

As he became more and more sophisticated in this technique, Song Wen became more and more aware of the extraordinary nature of this technique.

The "Corpse King's Reincarnation Technique" that he majored in was originally a peerless technique that combined mana and the physical body.

This makes his physical body extremely powerful, far superior to monks of the same level.

However, the "Ten Thousand Poisons Hunyuan Body" can further strengthen his physical body, increasing his physical body's defense and strength again. Moreover, it also made Song Wen immune to many poisonous things.

What makes Song Wen a little regretful is that he is only one step away from cultivating the "Ten Thousand Poisons Hunyuan Body" to the state of perfection.

By then, this skill will have no room for improvement.

"It would be a blessing if the "Ten Thousand Poisons Hunyuan Shen" has a follow-up technique." Song Wen thought to himself.

While he was practicing hard, he also did not forget to find ways to advance the Holy Armor Gu.

The fifty dragon pattern grasses I bought earlier have all entered the belly of the same holy armor Gu.

The aura of this Holy Armor Gu has been significantly enhanced, but there is no sign of advancement.

So Song Wen went to Baicao Tower again and bought fifty dragon grain grasses, all of which were five hundred years old.

Two months later, all the fifty dragon grain grass purchased for the second time were eaten by the holy armor Gu.

The dragon pattern grass eaten by this holy armor Gu has cost Song Wen 200,000 spirit stones, but there is still no sign of advancement.

Song Wen was unwilling to see any return on his investment, so he gritted his teeth and bought fifty more dragon grain grasses.

When the Holy Armor Gu ate the seventieth dragon grass, significant changes finally occurred.

Nine silver lines appeared on the originally dark carapace, like ancient runes, exuding a mysterious aura.

When the lines first appear, they appear extremely dim and inconspicuous.

After eating ten more dragon grain grasses, the silver lines seemed to come to life and began to flow slowly, like small silver insects meandering on the black carapace.

The Holy Armor Gu also fell into a deep sleep and stopped eating.

Song Wen knew that the Holy Armor Gu was showing signs of advancement.

He opened the spirit gathering array and crushed thousands of low-grade spirit stones at the same time to provide sufficient spiritual energy for the advancement of the Holy Armor Gu.

However, the Holy Armor Gu slept for half a year, during which time it swallowed spiritual energy three times.

This day.

On the carapace of the Holy Armor Gu, the nine silver lines seemed to be lit up, emitting a dazzling light.

As the light of the lines became more and more intense, Holy Armor Gu's body also began to undergo tremendous changes.

Its body expanded rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon became the size of a washbasin.

The two jaws kept biting, and the eyes looked at Song Wen hopefully, looking extremely hungry.

Song Wen showed a look of surprise, he could clearly sense that this Saint Armor Gu had advanced to the early stage of the third stage.

He took out a second-stage sea beast corpse and placed it in front of the Saint Armor Gu.

This was a huge sea python several feet long.

The Saint Armor Gu pounced on the sea snake corpse and began to devour it.

In less than an incense stick of time, the sea python's corpse had all entered the Saint Armor Gu's stomach.

However, it still looked extremely hungry.

Song Wen took out two more sea beast corpses and threw them to the Saint Armor Gu.

After more than a quarter of an hour, the Saint Armor Gu was full and turned into the size of a grain of rice again, and flew into Song Wen's stomach.

Song Wen roughly calculated that the advancement of this Saint Armor Gu cost a total of about 350,000 low-grade spirit stones, most of which were used to buy dragon pattern grass.

If all six Saint Armor Gu were advanced, it would mean that a total of more than two million spirit stones would be needed.

Song Wen has a total of 150 high-grade spirit stones, and about 300,000 medium-grade and low-grade spirit stones.

Considering that there is a 50% premium for exchanging high-grade spirit stones for low-grade spirit stones, these spirit stones are enough for all the holy armor Gu to advance.

But in this way, he will not have many spirit stones left.

"Alas! Wealth, law, companions and land! As expected, whether in the secular world or in the world of immortal cultivation, money is always the most important!"

"If we can buy a batch of dragon pattern grass at a low price, the remaining five holy armor Gu will be able to advance."
