Chapter 9: The Theory of Legal Instruments

  That night, Chu Yan descended from Feilong Peak once again.

  Because the fifth level of Chu Yan's Qigong practice has already stabilized, in order to stand out in the peak assessment, one or two handy artifacts are essential.

  Linglong Tower

  "Also, take me to see your leader."

  The woman being entertained was still the same one as last time, and there was a beauty mark on her face that Chu Yan had some impression of.

  Cabinet

  A middle-aged man wearing a brocade robe sat on a phoenix-patterned carved chair, with a square face and thick eyebrows, his voice somewhat urgent: "Old Tian, you said that young fellow hasn't come back in the past two months?"

  That old field was the fat steward who met Chu Yan that day, and at this time he pulled a long bitter melon face, "Sir, this is true, I would never hide it!"

  "If you come again, you must keep it for me, that spiritual liquid is comparable to the legendary natural spiritual liquid, no one has ever been able to configure such a spiritual liquid."

  The middle-aged man said that this place is a bit exciting, it's the natural spiritual liquid born between heaven and earth! This kind of spiritual liquid is used to lay the foundation for young brothers, which has an immeasurable great benefit for their future development.

  "Yes, sir! Next time, I absolutely won't let him get away!"

  Lao Tian wiped the sweat from his forehead, but in his heart he was filled with regret. He had already overestimated the quality of that spiritual liquid, and yet it turned out to be connected to a natural spiritual liquid.

  "Boss, there's a customer who wants to see you alone."

  A middle-aged man heard faintly said: "You go busy first, this matter must be taken seriously!"

  "Got it!"

  Lao Tian let out a silent sigh of relief, feeling that the pressure in front of this big shot was truly enormous.

  Chuyan entered the back hall, and there was still that fat steward waiting there.

  "I wonder if this Taoist friend has some treasure to show us?"

  Chu Yan didn't say much either and threw a jade bottle over.

  "Little brother, is that you?"

  That fatty manager sniffed the scent in the jade bottle, his face filled with surprise, and a green light suddenly burst forth from his eyes. His gaze was like that of a big grey wolf seeing a little lamb.

  "Don't play jokes on me, fellow Taoist!"

  Chu Yan now has an old man's face, combined with the voice of an old man, and with the help of the Blocking Spirit Stone, it is really possible to pretend to be a senior.

  "My little brother, don't pretend anymore. It's not that the things I sold you are problematic, but generally, seniors and masters would go to the upper floors of my Linlang Tower. Besides, this spiritual liquid is all too familiar to me."

  Chu Yan suddenly realized after hearing what Fat Manager said, and switched back to his original voice: "Sorry about that, I'm here to select a law enforcement device this time, the higher the quality the better."

  "Little brother, don't be in a hurry, I'll take you to see someone who has long heard of your great name."

  Chu Yan saw that this fat manager didn't seem to have any malicious intentions and was led by him, turning left and right, into an even larger room.

  "Sir, sir, it's this young fellow here, I've brought him for you."

  Lao Tian had a big smile on his face, and Chu Yan followed his gaze and naturally noticed the middle-aged man with an extraordinary appearance.

  "Lao Tian, you go down first."

  "Yes, sir!"

  Lao Tian stepped down, and the room was left with only Chu Yan and the mysterious middle-aged man.

  "Who are you?"

  "I'm the boss of this Linlang Building, you can call me Boss Qian! What should I call you, young man?"

  Qian Wanxin's face wore a faint smile, without the slightest hint of arrogance. If those who knew him were to see this, they would probably be shocked to the point of dropping their jaws. The notorious Qian Wanxin, known as the "Ghost-faced Yanluo", was actually capable of smiling.

  "Li Yan~"

  Qian Wanxin didn't rush to mention the spiritual liquid after hearing Chu Yan's words. Instead, he continued, "I don't know what brings you here today, young brother?"

  "I want to buy a lawnmower!"

  "As long as you can afford it, we also have top-grade French equipment!"

  The middle-aged man's face remained unchanged as he said calmly.

  "Do you have top-grade magic tools?"

  After hearing what Fat Manager said, Chu Yan was shocked in his heart. That's a top-grade artifact! Ordinary shops only sell high-grade artifacts, and top-grade artifacts are extremely difficult to refine, with a value that even surpasses ordinary low-grade spiritual artifacts. The reason why top-grade artifacts are so valuable is not only because of their great power, but also because they have an 8% chance of advancing to become spiritual artifacts.

  If a cultivator has broken through the Qi Refining stage and reached the Foundation Establishment stage, then the power of his magic tool will no longer be sufficient for him. At this time, he must equip himself with a spiritual artifact. There are two options at this time: one is to directly purchase or refine a spiritual artifact by oneself.

  The second is to refine the magic tool used during the Qi training period into a spiritual instrument, which makes it easier to condense and practice the original life spirit instrument because of its long accompaniment with the practitioner.

  But the probability of ordinary law enforcement advancing to spiritual instruments is very low, and the probability of lower-grade law enforcement advancing to spiritual instruments is almost zero. Middle-grade spiritual instruments have one layer, high-grade spiritual instruments have only three layers, while extreme-grade law enforcement has a full eight layers. It can be said that as long as you are not too unlucky, you can advance, and it is said that the spiritual instrument advanced by the extreme-grade law enforcement also has the possibility of advancing again.

  So generally the master of alchemy under the circumstances of destiny will only leave a few pieces of top-grade artifacts to their own descendants and will not easily sell them, no wonder Chu Yan was so shocked.

  "Hehe, speaking of which, little brother, you're also lucky. A master craftsman was short on spirit stones to buy elixirs at a critical juncture in his cultivation, and since he's also a loner, he brought the only top-grade artifact he'd refined over the past hundred years to my Linlang Tower."

  Qian Wanxin's sleeves shone brightly for a moment, and a brocade box appeared on the table. The brocade box was opened:

  "Little brother, take a look at this top-grade artifact called 'Dragon Turtle Shield', which is made from the shell of the fourth-stage top-grade demon beast 'Xuanlonggui' and dozens of precious materials. Unless it's a cultivator who has reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, even a cultivator at the 12th layer of Qi Refining can't break through it with just their spiritual power."

  Chu Yan's heart suddenly burned with excitement after hearing the introduction. This was simply a lifesaving treasure! A magical artifact refined from a fourth-stage demon beast, and a top-level fourth-stage demon beast was equivalent to a strong cultivator at the fourth layer of the Foundation Establishment stage.

  "Not only that, this 'Dragon Turtle Shield' can also be used for attack, the edge of the shield is a layer of dense and sharp saw teeth."

  After hearing Qian Wanxin's words, Chu Yan stroked the 'Dragon Turtle Shield' even more lovingly. Then he heard:

  "Not only that, because it is made of 'Xuanlonggui' turtle shell, this 'Dragon Turtle Shield' also contains a hint of dragon energy. The dragon is the king of all beasts and has a certain suppressive effect on magic weapons refined from the same demon beast materials."

  Qian Wanxin finished speaking and looked at Chu Yan, waiting for him to speak. Last time, the three bottles of spiritual liquid that Chu Yan brought were bought by a high-ranking member of a large family for 400 spiritual stones per bottle the next day, and they even said that no matter how many there were, they would buy them all. So today, when Manager Qian saw Chu Yan's enthusiasm, he didn't hesitate to bring out the only top-grade artifact in the store.

  "It's him, let's get down to business!"

  With this 'Dragon Turtle Shield', combined with Chu Yan's current cultivation, the hope of advancing to the top ten in the small competition within the peak has greatly increased. Chu Yan feels that he must take it down today.
