One of the earliest Horcruxes sold was called the "Shuanglu Blood Python Ironwood Sword". It was made by Feng Huang. It was extremely hard and infused with true energy. When released, it turned into a strange snake. It was very powerful and was equivalent to sword energy. .The price of this sword was three thousand "feiqian". No one paid attention to it at first. Lu Wei felt it was strange and secretly informed Chu Ge about it. Chu Ge appeared in person at "Yizhu Zhu", took the sword and played with it for a long time before accepting it. .
The sword itself was unremarkable, but the true energy released as a strange snake reminded him of the year-end gambling game many years ago, when Wei Shiqi defeated Kou Yucheng with an iron rod. "Shuanglu Blood Python Iron Wood Sword" is a test and a signal. Wei Shiqi is planning something, and he must prepare early.
Sure enough, following the "Shuanglu Blood Python Iron Wood Sword", three new Horcruxes were placed on the shelf of "Yi Hu Zhu", a sword, an axe, and a whip. The sword and ax were fine, but the whip was extraordinary. The head of the whip was half a human bone. The hands were folded on the chest. The eyes of the skull flashed with green fire. The whip body was a complete python bone. The texture was excellent and thousands of miles away. Pick one, and the price tag is also the most expensive.
This python bone whip has quite an origin. It was collected from the bones of Grandma Tong, a beautiful python from the Sky Demon Clan. Qi Du, one of the "Ten Sons of Pingyuan", refined it into a magical weapon and painstakingly created three "virtual positions" , passed down to his beloved disciple Sun Ergou. When Sun Ergou was buried in Chixia Valley, he was possessed by a vine demon. The python bone whip fell into the hands of Lu Wei. Later, Yu Yao begged for it and handed it over to Feng Huang. He absorbed the spirit and achieved success. "Horcrux".
In the end, the whip was collected by the Poison Sword Sect, and the sword ax fell into the hands of the Sword Control Sect. Chu Ge let it go gently and did not fight with them.
The four soul weapons were all returned to Kunlun. Although the monks were envious, they had nothing to complain about. Kunlun was wealthy and used "flying money" to clear the way. He did not use shady means. It was reasonable to be willing to buy and sell. .
The Kunlun faction got an advantage and did not hide it. Under the auspices of Chu Ge, they summoned the monks from Dongming City and held a "Tasting Conference" to demonstrate the four Horcruxes one by one and make all the joints public. Everyone looked carefully and saw that "horcruxes" require very little cultivation, but can increase combat power by one or two levels, comparable to high-grade magic weapons. The most important thing is that as long as the materials are sufficient, "horcruxes" can be "customized" and "Mass production".
"Yi Hu Zhu" is just a facade. The real force hidden behind the scenes is Xiaobai from Jietian Ridge and Duo Niaojian. She is a confidant of the city lord Wei Shiqi. She only has Feng, Wen and Jin under her. Among them, Feng Huang refines weapons. Wen Shuanglu took action and Jin Xiaodie collected materials, and they cooperated quite well.
In the past twenty years, Feng Huang has been focused on smelting "horcruxes". In addition to the three known spirit combinations of "Yanghuo", "Six Earths" and "Shuanglu Blood Python", he has found two more. One is the Gelsemium snake, the jointed python, and the four-legged snake that treads water. The second is the red-bellied poisonous spider, the white star spider, the ground spider, and the celestial spider.
The combination of these two spirits requires extremely high requirements for the weapon. Feng Huang worked hard to refine one of each. The former is the hook bone four beautiful whips, and the latter is the Red Star Futian Sword. The four beautiful hook-bone whips are made from the python bone whip left by Sun Ergou, and the Red Star Futian Sword is made from the Four Soul Sword left by Deng Yuantong. Neither of them were made by Feng Huang. Every time he thinks about this, he sighs. , which is a lifelong regret.
Relying on the limited power of Feng Huang, Wen Shuanglu, and Jin Xiaodie, the scale and progress of refining "horcruxes" have faced a bottleneck. Xiaobai put forward a bold idea to Wei Shiqi over and over again, and got his approval. .
This idea, simply put, is to remove several key difficulties and allow more people to participate. Wei Shiqi understood immediately when he heard it. Isn't this just "retaining the core technology and outsourcing the manufacturing"?
He asked Xiaobai to let it go, so "Yi Hu Zhu" appeared.
In just a few months, the monks in Dongming City have reached a consensus that "horcruxes" will eventually replace magic weapons and become a necessary means to increase combat power. The business opportunities and benefits contained in them cannot be overestimated. , "Yi Hu Zhu" is likely to become the next "Cui Fang". Missing "Cui Fang" can also be said to be a mistake. Missing "Yi Hu Zhu" is a naked mistake.
Everything was as expected. Various forces unanimously expressed their intention to invest, but Xiaobai declined politely. "Horcruxes" kept appearing on the shelves of "Yi Hu Beads", and the prices became more and more cruel. Everyone's appetite was attracted. Hanging it high, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is "building momentum", but no one knows what the real purpose of "building momentum" is.
The Five Elements Sect and "Cai Fang" were not involved. Chu Ge knew clearly that if "Yi Hu Zhu" might become the next "Cai Fang", then he must stick to his duty and never reach out to cross the line. The one who controls the "One Dendrobium Pearl" on the surface can be the Poison Sword Sect, the Sword Control Sect, the Xiandu Sect, or even unrelated casual cultivators, but it will never be the Five Elements Sect.
Just when "Yizhu Pearl" attracted everyone's attention and its momentum reached its peak, the "Fire Crow Palace" in Fallen Bird Stream surfaced. Xiaobai was the master of the palace, Feng Huang was the worshiper, Wen Shuanglu was the deacon, and Jin Xiaodie is a disciple, and Jin Peiyu, Xia Yihu, and Qian Yuan join the Fire Crow Palace and start as handymen, learning to smelt "horcruxes". The "Yihu Pearl" is handled by another person sent by Xiandu.
This incident sent out two signals. 1. Xiandu is the agent of Fire Crow Palace in Dongming City. 2. The Fire Crow Palace officially began to absorb new blood.
Different from what Chu Ge guessed, Wei Shiqi did not intervene in "Yi Hu Zhu" and "Fire Crow Palace" from beginning to end, nor did he give any opinions. Xiaobai did a very good job, every link was intertwined, and it was watertight. She had been used to seeing Wei Shiqi's behavior over the years, and had already learned all about his methods. Even Chu Ge didn't see any flaws.
The reason why Xiandu was chosen was also due to Qin Zhen's consideration. This city was destined to be left to her. If "Yi Hu Zhu" was to be split into shares in the future, Qin Zhen would definitely hold a considerable share, and Xiao Bai would act as the Ghost King's. The character, hidden behind the scenes, became her most solid backing.
Since she had thought it all carefully, Wei Shiqi was happy to see the results. He let Xiaobai do it. The Fire Crow Palace quickly grew in strength, with people prospering and each performing their own duties, and refining the "Horcrux" was the most critical. The secret was only in the hands of Xiaobai and Feng Huang from beginning to end, and even Wen Shuanglu had limited knowledge of it.
Days passed, and under Wei Shiqi's instructions, the Red Star Merit Palace increased the remuneration for commissions. The "horcruxes" produced by the Fire Crow Palace tended to be low-end. Although those high-priced products were monopolized by wealthy forces, they Cheap and low-end "horcruxes" have also begun to flow into the hands of monks, gradually replacing magic weapons and magical weapons, injecting new vitality into Dongming City.
This is an era of change, a major change that has not been seen in tens of thousands of years. Even Wei Shiqi cannot clearly see where everything he promotes will lead the world. Give a few instructions, make some arrangements, and then wait and see what happens. What an interesting game it is. If time permits, he really wants to play this game for a long time.
However, unexpected, or should I say, expected variables finally appeared.
In the twenty-fourth year of Zhenhai, Lu Sheng came to Scarlet Star City alone.
