Xu Ke didn't leave the Mermaid Palace at all.
After talking to the Mermaid Queen, Xu Ke used the divine light of the beginning to hide his figure and sneaked into the inner treasury of the Mermaid Palace silently.
The inner treasury of the palace is naturally guarded.
However, this did not trouble Xu Ke at all.
Taichu's divine light flashed, and a "mirage water and moon technique" covered the door of the inner treasury.
Long before the foundation was established, Xu Ke integrated the "Sword Art of Returning All Things to the Origin" and "Phantom Water and Moon Art" into the Hunyuan Yiqi Manual.
The current Hunyuan Qi Taichu Shenguang naturally contains illusions and magical powers!
The illusion covered the gate of the inner treasury, and Xu Ke controlled Hunyuanzi to appear at the real gate of the inner treasury.
The Queen had already told Xu Ke how to open the inner treasury door. Xu Ke stretched out his hand and a stream of water spiritual power fell into the inner treasury door. Water spiritual power was injected into hundreds of special nodes on the gate restriction at the same time.
A flash of water flashed by, and the door to the inner library opened instantly.
Xu Ke's body swayed, he entered the inner treasury, waved his hand to close the door, and dispelled the illusion outside.
With a wave of his hand, a formless and colorless divine light from the beginning turned into a light curtain, covering the entire inner library and concealing the movement inside the inner library.
After doing this, Xu Ke raised his eyes and looked at the warehouse in front of him.
Good guy!
All kinds of marine spiritual materials are piled up like mountains. The aura almost blinded Xu Ke's eyes.
The lowest quality spiritual materials are those at the Nascent Soul level, and there are also many various spiritual materials at the God Transformation level.
The sea area is vast and the products are rich, which is evident from this!
Since the Mermaid Queen allowed me to enter the palace's inner treasury, she naturally acquiesced that all these things were named Xu.
Besides, since it was a foreign monk who invaded and stole, he couldn't just take a few things, right? Even for a show, the warehouse still has to be emptied!
This is not what I want to do, but it is just for the sake of acting to make it look real.
Right, that is it.
Xu Ke smiled and nodded.
Looking around the warehouse, Xu Ke saw a bunch of "Void Sky Snails".
This thing is not only a heaven and earth spiritual object with spatial attributes, but also a natural "storage magic weapon" Yuan embryo.
It took Xu Ke a long time to find this kind of space-based heaven and earth spiritual creature before he could gather the quantity needed to create the Nascent Soul Taoist body.
Now...here's a bunch of them! There are dozens of void snails.
The ocean is indeed rich!
Xu Ke couldn't help but sigh in admiration, stepped forward, and took out a void snail, intending to make it into a storage magic weapon and directly empty the shark's palace warehouse.
Just as he picked up the void snail, Xu Ke's heart moved. He suddenly turned to look at the storage shelf next to him and reached out to open a white jade cage.
Open it and take a look...
Time flies! The flower of time! This is a top-level spiritual object with time attributes, and there are more than a dozen of them!
What is arrogance? This is arrogance! The Shark Sea Clan is so damn rich!
Xu Ke sighed, picked up the "Void Snail" and began to refine the storage magic weapon.
The void snail is a natural storage magic weapon Yuan embryo. It only needs to break into a space spiritual barrier to open up a storage space.
With a flick of the finger, a space spirit barrage penetrated into the void snail, instantly opening up a huge storage space.
It's that simple to use space spiritual objects to refine storage magic weapons.
However, it is not strong enough on its own.
If it is damaged by someone, everything stored inside will be lost due to space collapse. Wouldn’t that be a heavy loss?
Xu Ke nodded his finger on the Void Conch, and the aura of Taichu lingered out, spreading rapidly on the Void Conch shell, and quickly condensed into mysterious runes.
After a while, the Taichu Divine Light condensed into a talisman and turned into a "Taichu Divine Light Hunyuan Talisman Array", which was imprinted on the void shell.
Done!
This layer of "Absolute Beginning Divine Light Hunyuan Talisman Array" is enough to ensure that the void snail will not be damaged by others.
Then...it's time to move out of the warehouse!
He grabbed the void snail, activated the power of space storage, and scanned the warehouse. The countless treasures stored in it were all stored in the storage space.
Done!
Xu Ke smiled, and the next step was to upgrade the Hunyuan Divine Flag.
The Hunyuan Divine Banner was originally a spiritual treasure transformed by Xu Ke from the Five Plagues Divine Banner. Because the foundation was not strong enough, after being transformed into the Hunyuan Divine Banner, it was equivalent to the early stage of the Nascent Soul.
Now, if you want to be promoted to the Spirit Transformation Treasure, you must naturally make up for this foundation.
Twelve attributes of spiritual materials, and they were Nascent Soul-level spiritual materials, were nothing but a drop in the bucket for Xu Ke, who had just plundered the shark's inner treasury.
With a wave of his hand, pieces of spiritual materials flew out of the void snail and floated around.
With Xu Ke's thought, Hunyuanzi recovered his body, turned into the Hunyuan Divine Flag, released streams of Hunyuan spiritual power, formed a large Hunyuan array, wrapped up these spiritual materials, and quickly refined them.
With Xu Ke's cultivation in the Yin Shen realm, it is still very simple to remotely control Hunyuanzi to refine materials and advance.
After three consecutive sacrifices, the Hunyuan Divine Flag successfully replenished the foundation, which is equivalent to the perfect level of Yuanying.
Next, it’s time to become a Yin God and advance to the Spirit Transformation Treasure.
Xu Ke has done the refining of the spirit treasure several times.
However, this is really the first time for this kind of remote operation, and also for manipulating a magic weapon to refine oneself.
Xu Ke once again released a ray of divine light from the beginning, covering the inner treasury with a second layer of light curtain, covering up the movement of spiritual power. Only then did Xu Ke prepare to upgrade Hunyuanzi.
Unlike the previous refining materials that supplemented the foundation, the current upgrade is an essential promotion.
Even with Xu Ke's skills, he still had to operate with caution.
Take out a void snail and use it as a space system upgrade material. Take out a piece of lost time and use it as a time upgrade material.
The other Five Elements materials, materials with ice, wind, thunder, light, and dark properties, are also all heaven and earth spiritual objects of god-like quality.
After placing these materials according to the direction of the Hunyuan Qi formation, Xu Ke had an idea and asked Hunyuanzi to restore his true form and turn into a Hunyuan divine flag, standing in the center of the formation.
"The divine light of the beginning, refine!"
Waves of invisible and colorless divine light from the beginning rushed out from the Hunyuan Divine Flag, connecting twelve kinds of divine qualities of heaven and earth spiritual objects, and began to be rapidly refined.
Without the Divine Light of Absolute Beginning, it would be impossible to complete the upgrade within three days.
These high-quality materials cannot be refined in three days if they are refined in other ways.
Now, nature is no longer a problem.
The rays of primordial divine light quickly refined various spiritual objects, turned into auras of various attributes, and poured into the Hunyuan Divine Flag.
The Hunyuan Divine Flag continues to grow and its quality continues to improve...
——
"Your Majesty the Queen, it's not good, it's not good."
On the morning of the third day, the Mermaid Queen was thinking about how to deal with the upcoming great changes. At this time, a palace maid ran in in panic.
"Huh? Why are you panicking?"
The Mermaid Queen frowned and was secretly shocked. Could it be that the person was refining the treasure in the inner treasury and was discovered?
"Haha! Little things, little things!"
At this time, a chuckle came from the palace door, "Her Royal Highness is just a little naughty."
The mermaid high priest in black robes, holding a coral cane in one hand and carrying the mermaid princess in the other, walked into the hall with a ferocious smile on his face.
"You guys stand down!"
The queen waved her hand to repel the maids in the palace, then raised a coral scepter and stared coldly at the black-robed high priest, "High priest, you dare to be disrespectful to the princess? Do you think you don't take me seriously?"
"Haha, Your Majesty, calm down!"
The black-robed high priest sneered, "It's not that the old minister is disrespectful to the princess, but... the princess is disrespectful to the Dragon God!"
"Huh? What's going on?"
The Queen's eyes became cold, and her fingers held the scepter very hard.
"According to reports from the maids in the princess's residence, the princess has made many resentful remarks towards the Dragon God in the past few days."
The black-robed high priest threw the princess to the ground, pressed the coral cane in his hand against the princess's chest, and looked at the queen coldly, "As a priest of the Dragon God, how can I tolerate the Dragon God being desecrated? So, I took it. Princess, please give me an explanation!"
"statement?"
The queen's body was filled with water, and a murderous intention rose into the sky. "The princess is pure and simple, how can she blaspheme the Dragon God? Someone must have framed her! High Priest, what do you think?"
"What if I say it's not a false accusation?" the high priest said with a ferocious look on his face.
"The Dragon God Festival is right in front of you."
The scepter in the Queen's hand hit the ground heavily, "If the great sacrifice cannot be completed and the Dragon God is angry, the high priest will be the first to die, right?"
"I will die, won't you guys die too?"
The high priest grinned, "Do you want to die together?"
"My daughter is dead, what am I still alive for? By burying you with her, it's considered revenge for her!"
The queen stared at the high priest with a cold face, refusing to give an inch.
After a moment of confrontation, the high priest suddenly laughed.
"Haha! What your Majesty said is true. The princess is pure and simple, so it is impossible for her to blaspheme the Dragon God. Someone must have framed her."
Saying this, the high priest did not let go of the princess.
"So, what do you want?"
The corners of the queen's mouth trembled, and she looked at the high priest with cold eyes.
"The passing of time is a unique spiritual thing in the palace."
The high priest smiled at the queen, "My magical power of passing water still needs a passing water to be perfected. I have asked your majesty for it, but your majesty always refuses."
"So... I want a fleeting moment."
At this point, the high priest added, "I spread it out and said that I can't trust His Majesty. Time has passed, and I want to go to the inner treasury to get it myself! Go now!"
"What if I don't agree?"
The Queen squeezed the scepter's hand a little harder.
"mother……"
In your heart, am I not as good as a passing moment?
A look of disbelief broke out on the princess's face, and tears rolled down her eyes.
The queen glanced at the crying princess on the ground, and her eyes twitched slightly. My daughter... Alas, I have failed more than I have accomplished!
Now is the critical moment for the human sacrifice to refine the divine treasure. How can the high priest be allowed to go to the inner treasury?
"Your Majesty, do you really plan to break up and start a war?"
The high priest also felt a little surprised. Trading the princess for a piece of lost time should be a sure thing, so why doesn’t the queen let go?
"It's not impossible to pass the time."
After a while of silence, the Queen spoke, "You have offended the princess and me. I will punish you by kneeling in the palace for half a day. You will not be allowed to go to the inner treasury until evening."
So it turns out you want to save face?
The high priest curled his lips disdainfully and said with a smile: "I am your Majesty's minister. If your Majesty punishes me, I will accept your orders!"
After saying that, the high priest knelt down in the hall, but the coral cane in his hand still pressed on the princess and did not let go.
The queen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After waiting until evening, the man should be able to refine the treasure, right?
At this time, a violent spiritual impact suddenly erupted from the direction of the palace's inner treasury.
Sensing this spiritual vibration, the Queen's expression suddenly changed.
"This is……"
The high priest suddenly jumped up and rushed towards the inner library.
"presumptuous!"
The Queen shouted angrily, jumped up quickly, and stopped in front of the high priest.
The high priest sneered, waved his coral cane, and shot a cold ice arrow towards the Mermaid Princess on the ground.
Seeing that her daughter was about to be killed by a single blow, the Queen had no choice but to save her daughter first.
In a flash, the queen stopped the high priest and fired an ice arrow.
At this time, the high priest had already rushed out of the hall and rushed to the inner treasury of the palace.
"Damn it!"
The Queen cursed angrily and hurriedly chased after him.
However... it's too late!
In front of the palace's inner treasury door, the high priest raised his coral cane, violent spiritual power erupted from his body, and he struck hard at the inner treasury door.
The high priest is a cultivator of the Yin God realm. Together with the queen, he is one of the two top masters in the Merman Kingdom. Naturally, the gate of the inner treasury cannot withstand a heavy blow from the high priest.
With a "boom", the inner door of the inner library exploded on the spot.
"It's over!"
At this moment, the Queen's heart was cold to the soles of her feet.
Hunyuanzi's treasure refining must not be completed.
At this moment, he was exposed in front of the high priest, and his spiritual treasure incarnation was bound to perish, and his plot against the Dragon God was bound to fail.
And...if you don't succeed, you will be counterattacked.
In the anger of the Dragon God, our royal family will be liquidated, and no one will survive.
Alas... that daughter of mine! Incompetent bungler!
The Queen couldn't help but let out a long sigh, her eyes filled with sadness.
——
The inner treasury of the palace.
"Damn it!"
Xu Ke also cursed angrily.
This kind of magic weapon allows you to practice your own remote operation, but you still cannot fully control it.
After refining the spiritual object, during the process of promoting the Hunyuan Divine Banner to the Divine Transformation Treasure, the violent spiritual energy shock could not be contained and suppressed well, and still broke out.
Even if two layers of Taichu Divine Light were banned before, because the spiritual power attributes are completely consistent, they cannot stop the spiritual power explosion at all.
Fortunately...the promotion has been successful!
"boom!"
At this time, the inner treasury door burst into pieces. The high priest rushed into the inner treasury.
"Uh...who are you?"
Seeing Hunyuanzi in the inner treasury, the high priest was stunned.
what's the situation? Why is there a man hidden in the Queen's inner treasury?
Although he was stunned, the high priest's hand was unambiguous, and a green light of water struck Xu Ke.
Melt gold into bones and eclipse true water!
This true water magical power is a reward obtained by the high priest from the Dragon God. It is a poisonous water magical power refined from the poisonous saliva of the Dragon God.
With one blow, it seemed as if even the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth had been corroded and melted!
