Chapter 1275

Seeing the two items on the table, Zi Chen was very surprised. "You finished so quickly."

"Time's up. Even if it's not good, it's good," Ling Xing said.

"Time's up."

Zi Chen had been exploring in the sea of books for the past few days. He didn't know that it was Ling Xing who called him out just now.

"Nine days have passed. Tomorrow is the time to set off. Let's see what these two items are like." Ling Xing smiled mysteriously.

Zi Chen was very clear about the Black Saber. At this moment, his attention was on the black armor. The armor was made of many refined scales. There were many patterns engraved on its surface. These were the patterns of an array. Although they were clearly engraved, they gave off a natural feeling and were of very high quality. Zi Chen was surprised to find that it was actually a real spirit weapon.

This armor was without a doubt the strongest armor Zi Chen had ever seen, and he was very satisfied with it.

Then, Zi Chen picked up the Black Saber and released his spiritual senses. He was surprised again because he actually sensed a weapon spirit from the Black Saber. It was a weapon spirit with very strong spiritual fluctuations.

"This is also a real spirit weapon." Zi Chen was surprised and amazed.

Ling Xing smiled and said, "There are some Grandmaster Artificers in Hunter's Castle. They have always been serving Hunter's Castle. You're very lucky this time. A Grandmaster Artificer of the Domain Realm just happened to be here. He also happened to be free, so he helped you refine the saber and armor."

Hearing this, Zi Chen thanked him profusely.

Ling Xing didn't hold back and said, "This Artificer's brain isn't very good. He was born with a mental illness, so we did pay a price to convince him to refine your weapon. We accept your thanks. There's still one day left. You should carefully sense these two items. You'll be pleasantly surprised. We won't send you off tomorrow. Everything will be done in a low-key manner. Therefore, I'll give you a piece of advice in advance.

You should take care of yourself. "Zi Chen could feel Ling Xing's concern for him. He thanked him repeatedly and then personally walked Ling Xing to the door.

After he returned to his room, he took out his long saber and released his spiritual senses.

The Black Saber had been refined once more and had almost no impurities. It had merged with the Weapon Spirit, so it needed Zi Chen to recognize it as its master again. However, because it was already in the state of recognizing its master, it would not take too much time.

There were even more array patterns on the saber. Furthermore, they looked like natural patterns that made the black saber stronger and sharper. Zi Chen had a feeling that if this saber slashed at him, it would definitely break through his defense.

Zi Chen tried to move the weapon souls inside to see if there was anything different about them.

A beastly roar came from within the blade, and the black blade began to emit light. A soldier spirit appeared on the blade. This was a very strange beast. Its mouth was very sharp, and its body was curved like a crescent moon. It looked like the pangolin of the Martial Heaven Continent, but it also looked like a very irregular large blade. As soon as the soldier spirit appeared on the blade, it immediately transformed into the shape of a blade. It was like another black blade, and then it merged back into the blade.

As the soldier spirit merged back into the black blade, the aura on the black blade became even more violent.

Zi Chen had not yet channeled his energy into the black blade, but the entire black blade had already become extremely terrifying. The black light that it released contained bursts of coldness that actually stung Zi Chen's skin.

As expected of the work of a Grandmaster Realm expert, the black blade had already become the pinnacle of weapons in his hands. It was second only to the Domain Weapon that Zi Chen could not use.

Retracting his spiritual senses, the aura on the blade disappeared, and the soldier spirit turned into a beast shadow and merged back into the black blade. Looking at this very strange soldier spirit, Zi Chen suddenly thought of something. He thought to himself, "Could this be the Blade Golden-Eyed Beast's soul?"

The Blade Golden-Eyed Beast was a very strange warbeast in the Martial Heaven Continent. Although it was not a high-level lifeform, it was definitely a rare species. It was shaped like a large blade, and its final attack form was a sky-piercing blade. Its combat strength was astonishing.

And this kind of rare warbeast was also the favorite of some weaponsmiths. This was because the offensive weapons refined from them could be several times more powerful. If it was given to someone who used a blade, the weapon would be even more powerful. However, this kind of warbeast was rarely encountered, and even if it was encountered, it would be very difficult to kill it.

If Zi Chen's guess was correct, and this was indeed the Blade Golden-Eyed Beast's soldier spirit, then the value of this soldier spirit alone would be over a hundred million.

And the black blade in his hand was already at the pinnacle of spirit weapons in terms of quality. It could totally be auctioned off in an auction house.

Its value would not be lower than a billion.

The Cauldron Spirit, who rarely appeared, also appeared in a flash after sensing the changes in the black blade. He looked at the black blade in Zi Chen's hand and clicked his tongue in wonder. He said, "A very good weapon. It should be enough for the current you."

"Is this really the Blade Golden-Eyed Beast's soldier spirit?" asked Zi Chen.

"It is definitely the Blade Golden-Eyed Beast. It should be a late Corporeal realm Blade Golden-Eyed Beast. This is an extremely rare item. Furthermore, the black blade itself has been refined and added with materials from the Blade Golden-Eyed Beast, making it even easier for it to perfectly fuse with the soldier spirit," the Cauldron Spirit had a very high opinion of the black blade.

After hearing the Cauldron Spirit's explanation, Zi Chen's understanding of the black blade deepened. He also liked this black blade even more.

He was originally a wielder of the blade and could kill with a single strike. Now that he had fused with the soldier spirit, his combat strength had become even stronger.

With this blade, Zi Chen wouldn't even need to be injured if he were to be surrounded by late Corporeal realm experts again.

Immediately after, Zi Chen began to examine the defensive armor.

The surface of the armor was engraved with defensive formations that could neutralize energy layer by layer. The defensive formations were closely linked to each other. The workmanship of the formations was very precise. Not to mention the soldier spirit within, just these defensive formations alone could withstand the attacks of some late Corporeal realm experts.

Furthermore, Zi Chen discovered that the defensive formations even had a rebounding effect. This was an extremely rare item among defensive armors.

Although the rebounding effect was very rare, Zi Chen speculated that the surprise that Xing was talking about must be the soldier spirit within the armor.

The craftsmanship of the armor was also extraordinary. After obtaining the Blade Golden-Eyed Beast's soldier spirit, Zi Chen became even more expectant of the soldier spirit within the armor. In the next moment, he sensed the soldier spirit with his spiritual senses and released it.

The soldier spirit was also a type of beast soul. It was a miniature beast that looked like a round and chubby pony. As soon as it appeared, it transformed into a shield. At the center of the shield was a resplendent speck of light.

The shield protected Zi Chen's entire body while the speck of light protected Zi Chen's chest like a breastplate.

"This is …" After seeing the image of the shield, Zi Chen's expression immediately changed.

"This is the Scale Shield Flame Stallion. It is also a very peculiar type of warbeast. It possesses super strong defense that even surpasses that of some turtle-type warbeasts. If the Blade Golden-Eyed Beast is the best among offensive warbeasts, then the Scale Shield Flame Stallion is the best among defensive warbeasts. You've struck gold this time." Ling Xing sighed.

"Indeed. Just these two weapons alone are likely worth more than several billion." Zi Chen withdrew the soldier spirit and clicked his tongue in wonder.

"You are wrong. If these two items were sold individually, they would be worth several billion. But if they were sold together, they would definitely be worth more than ten billion." Cauldron Spirit said.

"They are that valuable?" Zi Chen appeared to be very surprised.

Cauldron Spirit smiled and said, "You probably don't know this, but every time the Blade Golden-Eyed Beast appears, the Scale Shield Flame Stallion will appear as well. The two are not mortal enemies. Instead, they are like existences that rely on each other. The reason why the Blade Golden-Eyed Beast is so hard to kill is because of the Scale Shield Flame Stallion. Similarly, the Scale Shield Flame Stallion has a strong defense but weak attack. It is also very hard to capture because of the Blade Golden-Eyed Beast.

"When you use two soldier spirits at the same time, you will naturally sense something in your heart. This feeling is almost perfect for both offense and defense."

After listening to Cauldron Spirit's explanation, Zi Chen finally understood what Ling Xing meant by surprise.

It was no wonder that Ling Xing accepted Zi Chen's gratitude so calmly.

Hunter's Castle must have paid a heavy price for these two items.

Zi Chen spent the next day refining the two weapons. The black blade was easy to refine, but the battle armor required a long time to refine.

The next day, which was also the tenth day, the party of five gathered in a secret room in the castle.

Zi Chen was the latest to arrive. When he arrived, the other four had already arrived. When they saw Zi Chen enter, their gazes simultaneously fell on Zi Chen.

"Zi Chen, it's you," Shang Guan Hong appeared to be very surprised to see Zi Chen.

As for the other three people, they obviously recognized Zi Chen as well, and their expressions when they looked at him became strange.

Among the three, one was a big guy who looked like a big bear. His body was filled with extremely domineering energy.

He was a person who did not know how to restrain himself. He was overbearing and flamboyant. One could tell at a glance what he was good at.

The last one wore an extremely large black robe and a mask on his face, revealing only his eyes.

This person did not emit any aura. It was impossible to tell that he was a cultivator. He looked very mysterious.

The last one was an evil-looking youth with vertical pupils. He was Wu Xie.

"Why did they send you?" Shang Guan Hong asked in surprise while the three were sizing up Zi Chen.

"His reputation has spread throughout Huping City. This mission is very special. Who else would they send if not him?" An evil voice sounded.

This was the first time Zi Chen had heard Wu Xie speak. In terms of Evil Incarnations, Shangguan Yue 'er's older brother was far from being comparable to Wu Xie. He was an acquired Evil Incarnation, but Wu Xie was an innate Evil Incarnation.

Zi Chen glanced at the other party. The latter smiled at him. Zi Chen felt very uncomfortable with that smile.

"Hey, you're Zi Chen. I'm Man Shi. I've heard of you and seen your image. You're very strong," Man Shi said.

Just like his flamboyant body, his voice was very loud. However, there was no malice in it.

"Nice to meet you." Zi Chen nodded at Man Shi.

After that, he looked at the last person, Dong Qing. The latter only nodded and did not speak.

Shang Guan Hong pulled Zi Chen to the side. The two of them were discussing something in a low voice.

Wu Xie's eyes flashed with an evil, cold light.
