Sacred Origin Liquid, also known as Ability Source Liquid, was a unique product of this world. It was very different from the source liquids produced on the planets outside.
This was the most basic and important thing in this world. It was the goal of many people.
But at the same time, too many people might not even obtain a single drop of it after arriving in this world.
This drop of Sacred Origin Liquid attracted everyone's attention. In front of it, even Xiang Xuan's appearance didn't seem that attractive anymore.
"This is too valuable. I can't accept it!"
Zi Chen took in everyone's expressions. He shook his head and refused.
One couldn't accept a reward without doing anything, let alone something so valuable.
"Just take it. We won't lose out. This Lone Horned Wolf can still be exchanged for two more drops.
If you hadn't stopped it, we wouldn't have gotten a single drop. "
Seeing that Zi Chen still had the intention to refuse, Xiang Xuan said unhappily, "How can a man be so wishy-washy? Hurry up and take it. It's not like it's a big deal."
Since Xiang Xuan had spoken, Zi Chen naturally wouldn't be able to justify himself if he continued to refuse.
He smiled and took it.
"Isn't that right?"
Xiang Xuan looked at Zi Chen and smiled. "Actually, we don't have any good intentions. After you've tasted the sweetness this time, you'll definitely not forget the Sacred Origin Liquid. When the time comes, you'll have to join our team and we'll hunt together."
Xiang Xuan's words were half an invitation and half a way to resolve Zi Chen's awkwardness.
Zi Chen shook his head and said, "Forget it. I almost died earlier. I don't have the strength to walk in the dark yet."
"You don't have the strength, but you have the equipment. If you're willing to be a hunter, we can provide you with the equipment.
It's actually very simple. You just need a set of special clothes to block the Divine Mosquitoes and Divine Ants in the dark. "
Xiu Qi looked at Zi Chen, who was still holding the Sacred Origin Liquid, and said, "This thing doesn't need to be refined. Just swallow it. You can do it now."
Zi Chen nodded and swallowed the Sacred Origin Liquid.
As he swallowed, he clearly heard the sound of saliva being swallowed from all around him.
As the drop of Sacred Origin Fluid entered his stomach, Zi Chen felt a familiar energy appear in his stomach. This energy seemed to be full of life, and immediately spread towards his limbs and bones.
Just like how natural treasures tempered one's body in the outside world, or how the Rainbow Sacred Tree strengthened Zi Chen's body, this drop of Sacred Source Fluid also strengthened Zi Chen's body. However, it didn't require a cultivation technique to control it and could perfectly enhance the overall strength of his body.
"All abilities originate from the body. Only a powerful body can stimulate the emergence of abilities." Seeing Zi Chen's slightly puzzled expression, Xiu Qi took the initiative to explain.
Zi Chen could understand this explanation.
Perhaps this was the reason why the Jiatu Family's five quotas all required a Saint level physical body.
After the drop of Sacred Origin Liquid was gone, everyone looked at Zi Chen with envy and some resentment. Of course, it was inevitable that they were taking pleasure in his misfortune.
Although it was common knowledge that a drop of Sacred Origin Liquid couldn't awaken abilities, everyone still felt that Zi Chen had wasted this drop of Sacred Origin Liquid.
Perhaps this was the only way to make them feel a little better.
The waiter had prepared some food and wine, and there was even rare meat among them. For Zi Chen, who had come to this world, this was truly a high-class thing.
The quality of the wine was also pretty good. At the very least, it was much smoother than what the old man usually drank.
The five ability users ate and drank in front of everyone. Gato Kelo brought Gato and Huangtu back into the room. It was clear that he really didn't want to have anything to do with Zi Chen.
They drank until the next day, when the sky was bright, but the five of them still didn't change their expressions. Even Xiang Xuan was a heroine.
"Here, alcohol tolerance represents strength. Zi Chen, you are indeed very strong!"
In fact, alcohol tolerance represented physical strength. When Zi Chen came here, his physical body had already entered the Saint level, and was stronger than many Saint Kings.
This was also the reason why he could use the broken blade to slaughter Saint Kings after coming to this world.
After Xiu Qi paid the bill, the group of five left the inn and headed for Sohui Town.
There weren't any more twists and turns along the way. When they were about to reach the town, the alcohol from the previous night had dissipated, and they were extremely sober.
"Let's go and find Old Fart Wei!"
Tang Pu, who was holding the puppet snake for Zi Chen, said as they walked to the town's gate.
From the outside, the town looked like a small city. It was surrounded by towering stone walls. In Tang Pu's words, these walls were to prevent pseudo-divine beasts from suddenly attacking the town at night.
The old man had come to Sohui Town before, but not many times. As for why he didn't stay here, Zi Chen had asked before, but the old man hadn't said anything.
After arriving at the town today, Zi Chen finally understood.
In this place, there were many people with abilities. Although they were far from being able to walk everywhere, but just by casually walking a short distance, one would be able to see one or several ability users.
Living with these ability users, one would undoubtedly have to be on tenterhooks. How could it be more comfortable than living in a small mountain village.
There was only one entrance to the town. After entering, one would have to go deeper into the town.
In this town, Old Fart Wei had his own shop, but the area was extremely small. Outside the shop, there were some black iron and a few weapons that didn't seem to be very popular.
"Old Fart Wei, this time we went out, we brought back a friend for you." Seeing the blacksmith shop from afar, Tang Pu shouted loudly.
This place was relatively remote, and was only suitable for people to live in, but not for a shop.
Compared to the shops on the road, Old Fart Wei's shop was really not ostentatious. He believed that the business wouldn't be good.
"This old man has no friends."
An old voice came from the blacksmith shop, followed by the sound of iron striking.
"You didn't before, but now you definitely do.
His name is Zi Chen, and he specially came to find you. Quickly come out and take a look. "
Tang Pu shouted towards the blacksmith shop, turned his head and said to Zi Chen: "Zi Chen, don't go in. It's dirty and messy inside. After greeting Old Fart Wei, you can stay at our place.
Our place is clean and spacious. "
"That's right, Zi Chen, this Old Fart Wei is good in every way, but he's too lazy.
If he was more diligent, he wouldn't have to force himself to live. "Xiang Xuan said with a smile." Old man, quickly come out.
Otherwise, I'll smash your shop. "
The sound of iron striking suddenly stopped, and the old voice came out from the blacksmith shop again. "Don't, this old man's shop doesn't have anything valuable."
Zi Chen saw an old man wearing a coarse robe, and his figure was not as sturdy as the other blacksmiths. He walked out from the blacksmith shop.
After the other party appeared, his gaze fell on Zi Chen, and said: "You came to find me?"
"Yes."
Zi Chen nodded, and was about to explain his intentions, but before he could open his mouth, he heard Old Fart Wei's voice. "Old Fart Zhan asked you to come, right? Is he not dead yet?"
"His old body is still very healthy." Zi Chen knew that Old Fart Zhan was that old man, surnamed Zhan Wu.
"What did he ask you to come here for, to trade?" Old Fart Wei sized up Zi Chen.
"He wants me to stay here and learn from you for a period of time."
"Oh, come with me then."
Old Fart Wei did not speak much, and did not ask about other things. He turned and walked towards the blacksmith shop, and Zi Chen could only follow behind.
Tang Pu passed the puppet snake to Zi Chen, and Zi Chen carried the bamboo basket, and prepared to follow with the puppet snake.
"You're a puppet master?" Old Fart Wei asked without turning his head.
"No, this is …"
Without waiting for Zi Chen to say that it was for sale, Old Fart Wei interrupted him and said: "If it's not, then deal with it. The room is too small, and can't hold these useless things."
Zi Chen turned his head, and looked at the few of them for help.
"Leave it to me, it's easy to deal with these things." Tang Pu smiled at Zi Chen, and volunteered to take it.
Zi Chen smiled gratefully, and turned to enter the blacksmith shop.
Entering the blacksmith shop, the first thing that entered his eyes were all black iron grade ores, and occasionally, he would see some iron ingots, and a few semi-finished products. As for the real weapons, Zi Chen did not see a single one.
The room was small, and the light was not enough. After entering, the high temperature emitted by the furnace made the air feel dry and hot.
"Put the things there, and you will be in charge of forging in the future." Old Fart Wei pointed to an empty corner and said.
Zi Chen put down the bamboo basket, and then poured out all the black iron, revealing the Holy Black Crystal wrapped in a coarse cloth at the bottom.
After that, he untied the cloth, revealing the Holy Black Crystal.
In this dark room, there was suddenly a bright light, and it was so black that it was shining.
The expressionless Old Fart Wei, upon seeing the Holy Black Crystal, revealed a look of surprise. Such a big piece of Holy Black Crystal was very rare. He nodded and said: "It's not bad, do you plan to sell it, or keep it for when you are familiar with it, to forge a weapon for yourself?"
Zi Chen was hesitant, because he was not sure of the price of the Holy Black Crystal.
"Then keep it first, these black iron can still be used for a period of time."
Looking at the hesitant Zi Chen, Old Fart Wei had already decided for him. He looked at Zi Chen and said: "From now on, you will stay here to forge, and take care of your food and lodging.
Don't worry about anything else, and when you have enough, you can leave. This old man will not force you.
However, if you can't complete this old man's request, then you can take your things and get lost. "
"Thank you senior for taking me in!" Zi Chen cupped his fists and thanked him gratefully.
"Whether you thank me or not, we can talk about it later. For now, go and tell those people outside that you can't leave for the time being, and don't let them wait."
"Yes!"
Zi Chen walked out of the blacksmith shop and informed the four of the old man's arrangements, which made them look very disappointed.
However, they did not force Zi Chen, and told Zi Chen that he could look for them when he was free.
"This should be able to exchange for two to three drops of Saint Origin Liquid. Once it's done, I will give it to you."
Tang Pu waved the puppet snake in his hand at Zi Chen, then left with Xiang Xuan and the rest.
After watching the four leave, Zi Chen returned to the blacksmith shop. Old Fart Wei did not give him any time to rest, and Zi Chen began to forge on the same day.
