Chapter 73: The Fierce Ghost Refines the Golden Needle (Seeking Recommendations and Collections)
What fell into Yi Chu's hands was not only the Broken Blood Bead, but also a gift of a cyan bead that came with a "buy one get one free" deal. This cyan bead was roughly the same size as the Broken Blood Bead, and as soon as it landed in his hand, he could feel a surge of majestic Wood-elemental primal forces.
Qingmu Shangren's Benming Yuandan! Almost without thinking, Yichu had already determined the origin of this bead. Feeling the wood-elemental energy emanating from the Benming Yuandan, Yichu muttered to himself: "Qingmu Shangren, I told you, between the two of us, you're the good one."
Yi Chu put away the Benming Yuandan and looked again at the golden halberd and jade wheel. Just as he was looking at the jade wheel, Yi Chu discovered that Li Yingqiong's eyes were also staring intently at the jade wheel.
"This jade wheel is truly beautiful." Li Yingqiong gazed at the jade wheel, which seemed like a full moon, and sighed. Her hand involuntarily reached out to touch it as she spoke.
"Yingqiong, don't touch!" Yi Chuyin exclaimed loudly to Li Yingqiong. But before he could finish speaking, Li Yingqiong's hand had already touched the jade wheel.
The majestic jade wheel fell into Li Yingqiong's hands like a toy, without any sign of resistance.
"Brother Yi, this jade wheel is still a bit warm." Li Yingqiong said with a surprised face, holding up the jade wheel to Yi Chu. Yi Chu looked at the beautiful jade wheel and slowly reached out to touch it. But just as his palm touched the jade wheel, a white light flashed, and a huge force rushed towards Yi Chu.
The tremendous force caused Yi Chu's body to tremble violently. This was still due to Yi Chu's cultivation having reached the peak of eighth-grade, otherwise, this single blow would have left him severely injured.
Watching the jade wheel, Yi Chu's body trembled. Li Yingqiong hastily asked with concern: "Big Brother Yi, are you hurt?" As she spoke, she shook her hand and threw the jade wheel to the ground, saying angrily: "This broken wheel, dare to attack Big Brother Yi, I don't want it anymore."
The jade wheel burst out a white light in mid-air the moment it was thrown by Li Yingqiong, and as the light flickered, the jade wheel flew back into Li Yingqiong's hand.
"I said it, I don't want this troublesome thing!" Li Yingqiong threw the jade wheel out again, but it still flew back into her hand.
"Yingqiong, don't throw it away again, I'm fine. This jade wheel is an extraordinary thing, and it's your good fortune that it chose you, so you should cherish it well." Yi Chu softly persuaded Li Yingqiong, who was in a fit of pique.
Li Yingqiong was also annoyed by this jade wheel, and after hearing what Yi Chu said, she had no choice but to put the jade wheel away.
The jade wheel was so strange, and the golden halberd that was not inferior to the jade wheel would be even more extraordinary. Thinking of this, Yi Chu stretched out his hand and grabbed towards the golden halberd. In the instant when Yi Chu's hand reached for the golden halberd, a burst of golden light rushed straight towards his hand.
This light was not as intense as the jade wheel, but when it entered Yichu's hands, the true power of the Congxue mantra in his body quickly circulated. In just a moment, the golden light merged into Yichu's palm.
When Yì Chǔ's hand touched the Golden Spear again, the ancient and mysterious Golden Spear made no sound, allowing Yì Chǔ to pick it up effortlessly.
This foot-long short spear is not heavy at all, and there's no weight of gold on it. On the golden spear, a vivid tiger is coiled, with two eyes made of some unknown precious stones that shine brightly.
The tiger's head is at the top of the golden spear, and the tiger's tail is coiled around it. From another angle, this golden spear looks like a tiger. However, at this moment, there is no longer the momentum that was driven by Qingmu Shangren, nor is there the overbearing aura that dominated the world.
"Sacrifice!" Yi Chu stirred up the true power of coagulation within his body, wanting to raise this golden halberd like a blood bead, but he didn't expect that as soon as he threw it out, it was like an iron rod, heavily smashing onto the ground, without any hint of mystery.
"Hong", the golden spear was swung up onto the stone by Yi Chu in an instant, and the hard mountain rock was split open in two. The smooth, mirror-like surface of the split seemed to be demonstrating the sharpness of the golden spear!
After trying all the methods, Yi Chu finally stopped. He liked this fierce tiger golden spear very much, but he couldn't utilize it. Holding onto it just for killing would undoubtedly waste its quality.
After putting the gold ingot into the storage bag, Yi Chu smiled faintly at Li Yingqiong and said: "It's still early, let's go back first and rest before continuing on our journey."
The mountain valley had turned into dust, and everything on the green wood had disappeared. As they spoke, Yi Chu and Li Yingqiong returned to the stone cave. However, at this time, neither of them had the mind to rest. Li Yingqiong held the white jade wheel in her hand, looking more and more delighted, while Yi Chu adjusted his true energy and immersed his divine sense into the black gourd.
In the gourd, dozens of yin souls collected from Qingmu Shangren were being bound in the gourd space, and the black air as thin as a thread tied their whole body tightly.
"You actually caught them all?" Zhen Rou'er looked at Yi Chu with an incredulous expression, her big eyes full of surprise.
"Not only did they die, but the person on the green wood also died. Tell me, who were they?" Yi Chu suddenly appeared beside Zhen Rou'er and said lightly.
"Did you kill Qingmu Shangren? Did you really kill Qingmu Shangren?" Zhen Rou'er was extremely shocked and asked repeatedly before suddenly bursting into loud laughter. Gnashing her teeth, she muttered to herself, the words escaping from her mouth.
No mind to listen to Zhen Rou's words, Yi Chu's divine consciousness moved, and began to search for the soul of Qingmu Shangren in this gourd. Unfortunately, there was no trace of Qingmu Shangren in this world of gourds.
"The light wheel in Yingqiong's hand is not a simple thing, that unlucky Qingmu Shangren should have been blown to death by the light wheel." Yi Chu stopped and didn't think about it anymore after confirming this possibility.
"They are all the evil spirits caught by Qingmu Shangren, and they have harmed many people over the years. If you deal with them, it would be considered as doing justice on behalf of heaven." Unbeknownst to anyone, Zhen Rou'er suddenly spoke up in her normal soft voice.
As for Zhen Rou'er's words, Yi Chu just smiled faintly. Whether these ghosts were good or evil, he didn't put it in his heart, at this time he only wanted to try whether these ghosts could be refined into golden needles.
Without any hesitation, Yi Chu instantly merged into a soul, and in the eighteen moves that followed, a golden light appeared on that soul.
……
It's done, it's actually been refined! These vengeful spirits are indeed evil ghosts, and they can really be refined into golden needles.
One piece, two pieces, three pieces...... twenty-four pieces!
Holding up a sparkling golden needle, Yī Chǔ said softly: "Ah, Qingmu, you're still a good person."
