"Ouch! My butt!"
Su Chen didn't even have time to check his surroundings before Chan Miao started wailing.
Su Chen looked over and burst out laughing.
She saw a purple cactus ball firmly stuck to her body.
But Su Chen soon noticed something strange.
The cactus was rapidly absorbing Chan Miao's elemental energy and was constantly expanding.
A second ago, it was only the size of a palm, but in the blink of an eye, it was as big as a rubber ball. Chan Miao's body seemed to be in a stiff state, and her spirit seemed to have withered.
Su Chen didn't dare to be careless. He hurriedly pierced the cactus with his sword and sent it flying.
"Ah …"
Chan Miao screamed and fainted on the ground.
Su Chen walked over, took out a healing pill, and fed it to Chan Miao. He had Meow Meow look after her, and then walked around.
This seemed to be a sealed underground mine that had been mined. The ore inside had been removed, leaving only some glowing fluorite. The fluorite provided light for the mine, allowing plants to grow.
But most of them were strange plants like the cactus, and all of them were poisonous.
Within a hundred meters of Su Chen, there were at least a few dozen purple cactus.
Su Chen threw an Insight Technique over.
"Devil's Tongue: A parasitic lifeform that can firmly attach itself to other lifeforms and absorb their elemental energy. Its sharp thorns have barbs and can secrete neurotoxins. Those poisoned may enter a berserk state and attack nearby lifeforms indiscriminately."
At that moment, Chan Miao, who had fallen to the ground, suddenly let out a low growl from her throat. Her eyes were bloodshot as she broke free from Meow Meow and jumped up, opening her mouth to bite Su Chen.
"So this is berserk?"
Su Chen's figure flashed, dodging Chan Miao's bite. At the same time, he slapped Chan Miao to the ground. Divine runes wrapped around her, binding her like a dumpling.
"Just stay here and wake up."
Hanging Chan Miao on the wall, Su Chen had Meow Meow stand guard here while he planned to explore the depths of the mine.
There were many mysterious ancient plants here. Perhaps he could find some rare medicinal herbs.
The mine wasn't very big, and Su Chen's Heart Net could cover the entire area. However, after searching around, Su Chen didn't find any medicinal herbs that caught his eye. Instead, he found a bunch of strange Qixi poisons.
Su Chen didn't let them go either. He collected all the poisons and stored them in a separate storage ring.
Just as he was about to return, Su Chen suddenly noticed a flash of light coming from a crack in the rock wall not far away.
Su Chen's mind stirred. He immediately walked over and cut open the rock layer with his sword.
A large piece of gold-plated ore fell out.
Appraisal!
"Mystic Radiant Gilt Metal: Primordial Spirit Ore. It is an excellent material for forging Dao Artifacts. It is extremely valuable."
The materials used to forge Dao artifacts!
Su Chen was overjoyed.
It seemed that there were still some good things in this mine that had not been discovered.
Moreover, this piece of Mystic Radiant Gilt Metal wasn't small. If fully utilized, it could even be used to forge hundreds of flying swords. Its value was considerable.
This piece of Mystic Radiant Gilt Metal, coupled with Su Chen's refining skills, was probably worth more than a trillion yuan!
A trillion yuan, if converted to origin nuclei, was a huge sum of 100 million yuan!
He had struck it rich!
Su Chen immediately wrapped the piece of Mystic Radiant Gilt Metal with divine patterns and activated the Fire of Divine Refinement to begin refining and purifying it.
After the purification, the Mystic Radiant Gilt Metal had shrunk by almost half. It might be less than Su Chen's expected value, but it was still very valuable.
Moreover, after the purification, the Mystic Radiant Gilt Metal was dazzling and very beautiful. The Dao Artifact flying swords forged from it would definitely look good.
However, refining a Dao Artifact took a long time. Su Chen wasn't in a hurry to start. He first put away the Mystic Radiant Gilt Metal and returned to find Chan Miao and Meow Meow.
At this time, Chan Miao was still in a frenzied state. Its eyes were red and bloodshot as it tore at Su Chen's divine patterns.
"Never-Ending fellow."
Su Chen shook his head in exasperation. He couldn't be bothered with her and collected some of the devil's tongues growing around him.
The effect of using this thing as a hidden weapon should be pretty good.
Seeing that Chan Miao wouldn't be able to recover in a short time, Su Chen had nothing to do. He calmed down, took out the Mystic Radiant Gilt Metal, and began refining.
Just as Su Chen was about to refine, the red bone staff in his sea of consciousness suddenly let out a crisp sound. A small section actually broke and turned into a pile of red powder.
Su Chen frowned slightly. "You want me to integrate this bone powder into the Mystic Radiant Gilt Metal and use it to refine a flying sword?"
The sacred skeleton didn't respond, but Su Chen felt that this was what she meant.
As for the reason, Su Chen didn't know much. However, she definitely had her reasons for doing this.
Su Chen took out the red powder.
He sensed it slightly and discovered that there were slight soul fluctuations in this powder.
Dharma treasures above treasure level required an artifact spirit. He could use this wisp of remnant soul to nurture a sword spirit.
With a thought, Su Chen immediately used the Fire of Divine Refinement to envelop the bone powder and smelt it into the Mystic Radiant Gilt Metal.
Although there was little bone powder, after smelting, the Mystic Radiant Gilt Metal had an additional wisp of red glow. It seemed to have undergone some kind of qualitative change.
Su Chen refined the Mystic Radiant Gilt Metal into 64 sword embryos and began refining at the same time!
To refine 64 Dao artifact flying swords at the same time, even a top grade God of Tools would not dare to do so. However, Su Chen had the dual top grade flames of the Fire of Divine Refinement and the Sacred Phoenix Fire. Adding in the powerful essence energy recovery ability bestowed by the Undying and Indestructible Diagram, it wasn't something impossible.
This kind of refining method was also a kind of cultivation tempering for Su Chen.
One day.
Two days.
When Chan Miao recovered from her berserk state, Su Chen was still like an old monk in meditation, completely focused on refining the flying swords.
"Hey, hey … quickly let me go, I'm fine."
"Don't ignore me, I'm hungry, I want to eat …"
"Big Brother, do a good deed and let me out!"
"I'll sue you for imprisoning a young girl!"
"Wuuu … I can't hold it in anymore."
Another five days passed.
Su Chen finally opened his eyes.
He gave a muffled groan and spat out a pure-gold Phoenix True Flame, carrying out the final refinement on the 64 Dao artifact flying swords.
When the violent sword intent surged out, Su Chen finally let out a long sigh of relief.
"Done!"
Su Chen stood up and stretched. Turning back to look, he discovered that Chan Miao was weeping like a pear blossom in the rain. She was incomparably miserable, as if someone had played with her until she was broken.
"What's wrong?
Who bullied you? "
Su Chen hurriedly brought her down from the cliff and removed the divine pattern covering Chan Miao's body.
Following that, a strange smell assaulted his nose, causing Su Chen to unconsciously frown and take two steps back.
"You … Why are you rotten?"
Chan Miao raised her head and looked at Su Chen with empty eyes, "This old lady curses you to never pee again!"
