Weird cultivation of immortality starts with possessing a mysterious book

"Have you heard? Recently, a blood lake appeared in the blood mist. Many people fell into the blood lake and never came back."

"Speaking of which, fewer and fewer people come to the pub to drink recently. I wonder if they all died in the blood mist."

"Isn't there someone else running behind you?"

"There are people coming, but they will die quickly if they can't stand it!"

"..."

In the corner of the tavern, Gu Xing drank in silence.

He actually didn't drink in the past. After all, he didn't have the conditions, and he didn't like the wine table culture, so he rarely drank alcohol.

However, after drinking wine from the wine sac for two months, he was no longer so repelled by wine.

Although he is not a heavy drinker, he occasionally goes to the pub to drink a glass or two of sweet wine.

The alcohol content is not high, it's more like drinking a drink.

While drinking sweet wine, I also listened to the current situation.

The situation in the blood mist is not optimistic. Not only does it show no signs of dispersing, but there are also new changes.

A lake of blood.

No matter how you think about it, you know that the blood lake appearing in the blood mist is obviously not simple.

Gu Xing, on the other hand, was already thinking about whether to leave Zhennanguan early.

The decision was made half a month ago, but now only two days have passed.

But after thinking about it seriously, he gave up his plan to leave early.

He hasn't gotten what he wants yet.

Then... three days later, he thought.

I'll set up a stall again in three days to see if I can at least get the "Phantom Water Shield" in exchange.

If you really can't get it back, make a decision again, or leave early in the worst case.

With this in mind, Gu Xing drank the remaining sweet wine in his glass and left the tavern.

Now that you have made a decision, you have to work hard next.

Two times in a row, he failed to exchange for the items that needed to be exchanged for military merit, and Gu Xing also made a rough guess.

A person with a lot of military merit must have extraordinary strength, and he probably wouldn't look down on his inferior craftsmanship.

Therefore, Gu Xingde once again tried to refine the mid-grade artifact.

As for the land deed, it had a very special ability and the price was low. Gu Xing had no intention of taking action.

Back at the inn, Chen Erniu was practicing. His vigorous blood filled the room, making him look extraordinary.

Feeling the blood, Gu Xing frowned, but did not bother him. Instead, he stayed far away, and then began to try to refine the mid-grade artifact.

The difficulty of the middle-grade magic weapon is not the same as that of the low-grade magic weapon. Even Gu Xing is not completely sure.

Therefore, he is extremely serious and cautious.

however--

fail, fail...

Still fail.

Every time he felt that he was one step behind, unable to fully mobilize the power of the materials, and then fell short.

Something was wrong, he thought.

Is it a method of sacrificial refining?

Or the use of excipients?

Gu Xing couldn't figure it out, and he also thought about looking for Luo Yongchang again.

But thinking of his hesitant answer later, Gu Xing knew that it would be useless to look for him himself.

This should be purely my own shortcoming.

It may be that the sacrificial refining technique is not skilled enough, or the judgment of adding auxiliary materials is not accurate enough, etc.

And these require a lot of practice.

Thinking of this, Gu Xi was not discouraged, but bought a lot of weird materials and food back to the inn.

He planned not to go out for the next three days until the mid-grade artifact was refined.

It is naturally not advisable to work behind closed doors.

But Gu Xing's behavior is not purely behind closed doors, but more like a kind of closed-door behavior after enough accumulation.

only--

fail, fail...

Still failed.

After spending a whole day, Gu Xing failed to successfully refine a medium-grade magic weapon.

"call!"

After scattering the dust in his hand, Gu Xing took a breath, took out the food from the storage magic weapon, and ate silently to regain his strength.

"Brother Gu, still no success?"

At some point, Chen Erniu also stopped practicing, sitting on the ground like a human being, chewing the food Gu Xing prepared for him.

It's just a bit unsightly...

"Yeah." Gu Xing nodded and then asked again.

"What about you, how's your practice going?"

"The third level has been completed, but the fourth level is a bit complicated. I'm just getting started." Chen Erniu was very happy, and a smile could be seen on the huge Niu's face.

He is easily satisfied, so just completing the third practice makes him happy.

Seeing his smile, Gu Xing smiled to himself.

Compared to Chen Erniu, he seemed a little greedy.

But when I think about it carefully, I have only been learning to refine weapons for half a year, and I have already become proficient in refining low-grade artifacts. I was even lucky enough to refine a mid-grade artifact.

In the eyes of others, such astonishing progress would probably make them shocked and shouting that they are geniuses in refining weapons.

But I just couldn't continue to refine the middle-grade magic weapon for the time being, and I was already worried about it. It was really unnecessary.

After thinking about this, the expression on Gu Xing's face became much more relaxed.

Of course, the sacrifice of artifacts is still necessary.

To be open-minded is to be open-minded, and to be diligent is to be diligent.

After eating the food, Gu Xing continued the sacrifice.

fail, fail...

still fails.

Another day passed, and Gu Xing still failed.

But at this time, Gu Xing was not in a hurry at all, but he was a little worried about the strange materials he was consuming.

But if you think about it carefully, it's nothing to earn back something in one day.

So he continued to practice.

fail, fail...

Or... no, finally there was no failure this time!

"Ha ha……"

At noon on the third day, looking at the bone spur in his hand, Gu Xing laughed softly.

He finally refined a mid-grade magic weapon in his normal state!

After wiping away the non-existent sweat, Gu Xing poured Qi into the artifact.

Afterwards, the information about the trick weapon was fed back to him.

This is a killing weapon.

The ability is to travel through space to kill enemies quickly and covertly.

It is extremely sharp, and the tip of the bone spur also carries a corrosive force. Once it hits, it will adhere to the enemy's wound like a gangrene attached to the bone, destroying the enemy's body to the greatest extent.

With such a powerful ability, the price is also extraordinary.

When using a bone spur, the corrosive power of its tip will also affect the user.

However, the affected part is fixed, but it can be avoided in advance through special means.

To be honest, Gu Xing also wanted to keep this bone spur in his hand.

Most of the abilities he possesses are wide open and close, and he uses his power to overwhelm others.

If you want to assassinate, that's not possible.

But this bone spur is different. When used, it passes through the space without leaving a trace.

After killing the enemy, the corrosive power on it can also destroy the corpse and eliminate traces, which can be said to be the ultimate weapon for assassination.

But Gu Xing thought about it and felt that the bone spurs were inconsistent with his style, so he gave up the idea.

Therefore, he then set up a stall again with this mid-grade artifact and several low-grade artifacts he had refined before.

But this time, at the top of the wooden sign, there was a line of words that he had carefully thought out——

"The ultimate assassination weapon, with space and corrosive attributes, mid-grade quality, you only need a Tao magic water shield that can be exchanged for military merit. This is the only one, first come first served."
