After Shen Mo nudged it a little, the Sea Cucumber Demon knew where it had lost.
This magical sword that destroyed its shield, whether it was flying with the sword or performing sword styles, was inferior to ordinary Xuan-level middle-grade swords.
But when it comes to breaking through obstacles, Xuan-level high-grade swords are inferior to them!
Of course, only those with profound knowledge in forging weapons can do this.
Others simply cannot balance the performance of all aspects of the magic weapon. If they forcefully refine it, there is a high probability that they will produce a defective product.
"My fellow Taoist is extremely skilled in forging weapons, I'm convinced!"
The sea cucumber demon moved its huge body and got out of the way.
…
In the majestic and dreamy palace, Shen Mo finally saw the extraordinary and majestic Demon King Mingcang.
Perhaps it was because the guest at the banquet was a human monk, so she also revealed her human body. She was wearing a luxurious crown dress that was very characteristic of the sea tribe. Two crystal clam shells were like wings, arranged on both sides of her back.
Just sitting there, her aura, as vast as the sea and as dark as the abyss, still made Wei Ye and the others dare not raise their heads to look at her.
After Shen Mo understood the [Xiaoyao] sword intention, he would not be as trembling as them.
The Clam Girl Pearl and Mingyu are sitting at the lower left and right sides of the demon king of Mingcang, and they are also in the form of human bodies.
During this period, the Sea Clan continued to present delicacies and fine wines unique to the Immortal Burial Sea...
"I heard from Mingyu that during this period... Fellow Daoist Shen killed many third-level demons. I will bury the hundreds of millions of sea people in the Immortal Sea on my behalf. I would like to give you a drink to express my gratitude."
"Senior Mingcang, you're welcome!"
Drinking and talking are quite capricious!
Because it was a private banquet, the Demon King Mingcang did not talk much about official matters. Instead, he asked many questions about Mingyu's performance on the battlefield and his talent for forging weapons.
Shen Mo answered them one by one, and bluntly stated that Mingyu was quite talented in this field and had the potential of a fifth-grade smith.
Of course, the prerequisite is to learn the casting skills from him.
Otherwise, relying solely on Burial Immortal Sea's fragmented weapon-forging methods would be the level of swallowing sea cucumbers.
Shen Mo didn't exaggerate in order to abduct the clam girl Mingyu... that's what he thought in his heart.
With Mingyu's understanding and her innate ability to condense beads, if she masters this art, she will one day become a fifth-level weapon caster, although there is a high probability that she will only be proficient in refining beads.
The level division of the caster is similar to that of the alchemist, but there are subtle differences!
A first-level caster who can stably refine low-level Xuan-level magic weapons.
The failure rate of refining a medium-grade magic weapon is extremely high, but it can be refined by chance, regardless of the expenditure of spiritual materials.
With good luck at hand, it is not impossible to refine a top-grade magic weapon!
A second-grade caster who can stably refine Xuan-level mid-grade magic weapons...
And so on!
Shen Mo is now a fourth-grade weapon caster and can stably create top-grade Xuan-level magic weapons.
If he had enough high-level spiritual materials, he could refine low-level spiritual items regardless of the cost... But the greater possibility is that he spent all his wealth and still couldn't create a single spiritual-level magic weapon.
Anyway, most of the spiritual-level magic weapons in the hands of many powerful people in Linjiang Sect have been transformed over a long period of time, allowing the best-quality magic weapons to give birth to the creatures within them!
Clam Girl Mingyu, if she can study this method carefully, and every pearl she produces contains spirits, she will be considered to be a fifth-grade caster.
Being a little embarrassed by Shen Mo's praise, Mingyu's delicate face was filled with red clouds as if she was drunk!
Demon King Mingcang glanced at Mingyu in surprise, his expression a little more thoughtful.
After three rounds of drinking.
In the unique Hai Clan fairy music, more than a dozen maids came to the banquet and danced to the music.
"Where did the Sea Clan come from with so many humanoid monsters? Could it be that they are all clam girls?" Shen Mo's eyes were blurred when he was drunk, but his mind was as clear as a mirror.
He used [Observe All Living Beings] calmly and couldn't help but laugh when he looked at the information fed back from the panel.
[Monster: Transformed Jellyfish]
[Realm: Mid-second level]
[Brief description: This monster is a species from the Immortal Burial Sea and has the talent to transform into hundreds of thousands of forms.
It is used to lure food into a trap, and can also be used to avoid predators.
It itself is not very powerful. If it comes into contact with it, it will be poisoned by its hallucinogenic poison and produce many hallucinations. 】
[Weakness: Compared with monsters of the same level, the monster body is extremely fragile, and a slightly stronger attack can tear it into pieces. 】
"No wonder everyone is so beautiful and fragrant, they are in an illusory state."
"But being able to hide the five senses from the spirit sea realm is a great talent!"
Shen Mo looked towards Wei Ye and the others. As a woman, Shi Hongyi was okay, but the other three were mesmerized, completely immersed in the "beauty" of the transformed jellyfish.
After the dance, each of the "beautiful maids" selected a guest and sat at the table to serve and pour wine.
There were also three "maids" who approached Shen Mo, and they passed the cup around with a smile, trying to please him!
Shen Mo looked as usual, he should eat and drink.
Wei Ye and others gradually lost their composure, as if ordinary mortals were drunk and began to act wildly.
Only the female cultivator Shi Hongyi looked quite embarrassed and secretly warned her Taoist companion Esun with her spiritual thoughts, but it seemed to have no effect.
The jellyfish sea tribe who turned into a maid inevitably touched Shen Mo's hands when pouring wine.
Almost instantly, endless fantasies appeared in front of Shen Mo's eyes, most of which were beautiful and fragrant scenery.
But he had a strong mind and was prepared for it. He just activated his [Xiaoyao] sword to break all the illusions in front of him.
"It seems that this is the third test of Demon King Mingcang!"
"Could she be worried that I would have unwanted thoughts about Mingyu, so she tried to transform into a jellyfish?"
Thinking of this, Shen Mo felt angry and funny.
Immediately, he took out the Xuan-level middle-grade magical sword that he had refined earlier, and flicked his finger on the sword.
"Qiang~~~~"
The sound of swords, like dragons roaring and tigers roaring, filled the palace.
Stirred by the clear sound, Wei Ye, Esun, and Gongsun Yan woke up one after another. Only then did they realize that they had been fascinated by the illusion without knowing it.
As a result, everyone was restrained and did not dare to have any contact with the "beautiful maid".
"Previously, Senior Ming Cang gave me a handful of pearls. I don't have anything to offer, so I wanted to give this sword to you in return..." Shen Mo found an excuse to return the gift and covered up his previous sudden move.
The Demon King Mingcang looked at him thoughtfully, smiled and nodded.
…
"Fellow Daoist Mingyu, your mother is honest... um. Let's test Friend Daoist Shen. Why are you teasing us?"
After the group left the Demon King's Palace, Esun couldn't help but complain.
Before Mingyu could speak, Shi Hongyi rolled her eyes at Esun angrily and said, "As a monk in the middle stage of the Linghai Realm, your consciousness was blinded by a second-level monster, and you still have the nerve to blame others? How come Fellow Daoist Shen is fine?"
Esun just complained a few words without any resentment.
Compared to the minor gaffe they made at the banquet, they gained a lot from this trip.
E Xun, Wei Ye and others obtained the Demon King of Mingcang's promise to buy and sell in the sea area where she occupies, and also arranged for the demon king under her command to communicate with them about this matter.
As for Shen Mo and Clam Girl Mingyu, they didn't have to do anything. They each took a share in it and just waited for the dividends!
