Chapter 159: The Mysterious Warrior's Insight

  Upon hearing Mo Chen's words, which were laced with a hint of excitement, Li Xie's eyes lit up instantly!

  Mo Chu is no ordinary person, but a legendary Double Eleven master. What can make him excited? Get his approval with just one word "good"?

  "What is it?" Li Xie hastily asked.

  Mo Chu pulled out a one-foot-long, transparent dagger with a thin blade like a cicada's wing from the pile of things. The dagger was emitting white mist and felt cold to the touch. Mo Chu grasped it in his hand and could feel the temperature around him drop by three degrees. He exclaimed excitedly: "This must be made by Bei Xuan Han Bing! Bei Xuan Han Bing is incredibly cold and brittle, yet he managed to craft something so thin and sharp! This little knife is absolutely the top-notch tool for cutting oneself!"

  "Ah!" Li Xie thought it was some treasure, but in the end, it turned out to be a kitchen utensil! Li Xie's face turned black with anger, and he said sarcastically: "Great Master Mian is above! My demonic kitchen, can't you find something useful for me? Of course, this dagger belongs to you now."

  The demon chef chuckled and put away the small knife, saying: "As a chef, of course, we first look at the cooking utensils! As for the rest, I'll take another look... Hmm, this thing is not bad!"

  The Demon Chef picked up a book with a metallic texture from the ancient ruins and said, "There are three most precious things in the ancient ruins. First, there are materials that no longer exist today, which even demigods covet. Second, there are ancient books that record the events of the past, which often hide secrets unknown to people, such as the Starlight Crystal. If it weren't for the ancient book's records, who would have thought that this thing could store divine light and be made into a staff or sword, having an amplifying effect on demigod-level magic and martial arts? Third, there are magical secret books or martial arts secret books! Do you know why it's difficult to advance from the tenth stage to the eleventh stage? It's because of the secret books used in cultivation! And most ancient magic or martial arts secret books can help people reach the eleventh stage! This 'Qí Wǔ Bīng Jiàn' (Magic Martial Arms Appraisal) looks like a good treasure!"

  Mo Chu opened the book, read it for a while, and continued: "This is a Dou Qi secret recipe, which also includes some extraordinary weapon forging methods and two sets of combat skills. It's not bad as a top-level secret recipe!"

  Li Xie's eyes lit up, and the Devil's Kitchen said it was a top-level secret recipe, which means that it can achieve eleven levels! Although Li Xie himself cannot cultivate it, he can give it to Kano, Vandy, Jack, and even Xiao An for cultivation. If they all advance to level 11, it is equivalent to an increase in Li Xie's strength.

  It's indeed the best thing among these, what else is more important than a boost in power?

  Li Xie smiled and put away the Qi Wu Bing Jian, saying: "This thing belongs to me, no problem, right? Heh heh, that's right, Your Highness said that advancing from the 10th stage to the 11th stage is due to the problem of the secret book, then what about advancing to the 12th stage?"

  There are many top-notch experts on the continent of gods, but those who have reached the eleventh rank are extremely rare. It turns out that it's because the cultivation methods used today are too inferior. What about the twelfth rank then?

  Eleventh-grade saint-level masters are not that rare, but demigods are pitifully few! Even if no cultivation is needed, and only the help of divine light advancement rituals is required, there isn't a single divine descent master. This probably has nothing to do with the issue of secret books, right?!

  "The Demon Chef sighed: 'If I knew that, I'd already be a demigod! How could I have stayed at the Sacred level for so long?!'"

  Li Xie smiled and said, "Well, it's like that. But what secrets are there between the 11th rank and half-god anyway?" However, this question was not something Li Xie needed to concern himself with for now, so he didn't think much of it and continued, "What other good things do you have?"

  Mo Chu picked through the remaining seven items and said, "This book contains some poetry, it seems that the owner of this ancient ruin was a scholar. It's useless to the Sword Saint or the Magician, but selling it to a scholar might be profitable. This iron pen is an ordinary item, useless. However, this magic crystal is not bad, a tenth-tier water magic crystal. If someone were to make it into a staff, it would be a decent weapon. These other items are also ordinary goods, that kid has no brains, only picking up useless things."

  Next to Marx, his forehead was black, the corners of his eyes twitched, and he was depressed like a withered **! He didn't understand what good things were in the ancient ruins, anyway, he took whatever he could take immediately, and didn't have time to look, otherwise, he would have been caught by the beast tribe people early on!

  Besides, aren't there some good ones here too?

  Since Mo Chu said there's nothing good left, Li Xie put away the remaining things. Anyway, he got the Starlight Ice Crystal and the Qi Wu Bing Jian, these two things were already worth it.

  Li Xie threw an empty space ring to Marx, and the other one he kept for himself. Looking at Marx who had already merged with his demonic pet, Li Xie smiled and said: "You're a 9th rank summoner? When did the Tudor dynasty have someone like you?"

  Marx put on the space ring with a heart full of bitter water, he was really bitter!

  Master Sleepyhead said: When the fruit of victory is right in front of you, it's best to turn around and take a look. See if someone is holding a rod as big as a sand pot, ready to give you a beautiful anal crack! If not, remember to look forward and see if someone is smiling at you picking up the fruit of victory, then rubbing their fists and preparing to let you know what it means to be egg-achingly painful!

  Marx obviously didn't read the "Master of Sleep's Records", so when he grabbed the things from the ancient ruins, he didn't look back to see if there was a dog-headed man holding a wolf-toothed club behind him. And after he took the things and ran away, he also didn't clearly see who the people on the flying boat in front of him were!

  He was so angry that he couldn't express it!

  But everything has been taken away, and he has become someone else's sacrifice. He can only obey now, what else can he do? The other party is a demigod after all.

  What's even more annoying is that he still has to show his respect, not forgetting that he's on the half-god's airship. The cruelty of life is fully revealed at this moment!

  "Your Highness." Marx made an effort to be very respectful: "I also only recently obtained the Nine-Stage Magic Beast, and it's been a long time since I returned to the Doudou Kingdom! I don't know much about the affairs of the kingdom either. For example, I never knew that the Evil Duke of Doudou Kingdom was actually a demigod."

  "Oh? You still recognize me?"

  "As a Tudor, having a grand duke in our homeland for a whole year without hearing about it would be too forgetful."

  Li Xie nodded and said, "That makes sense." Then he looked at Marx: "Judging from your appearance, you're a noble, right? A noble from the Imperial City? Or which city's noble? What's your surname?"

  In fact, Li Xie suspected that this person named Marx was the youngest son of the Right Prime Minister.

  The reason is simple, the youngest son of the Right Minister has been outside the Dordogne dynasty for a long time, and a few years ago, the youngest son of the Right Minister was the 9th-level Sword Saint. During this period, it's not impossible to become a 9th-level Summoner if he obtains a 9th-level Magic Pet.

  Furthermore, this person has several tens of millions of gold coins on him, which is definitely not a commoner, but an aristocrat. With such power, the aristocrat must have a high position in the Dourden Kingdom, and Li Xie must know him.

  Li Xie asked this question to determine if Marx was the youngest son of the Right Prime Minister, and if so, kill him! If not, then this person can still be befriended, after all, his strength is not weak, and there may still be an opportunity to bring him under control.

  Li Xie believed that he wouldn't lie, after all, the death of the Right Minister's family was only a dozen or so days ago, and it wouldn't have spread to the Anju Empire or even the Beastmen's side.

  Marx replied: "In the lower gentry, surname Dolgun, from Xiangyacun town, his father was a hereditary viscount."

  Li Xie narrowed his eyes: "No way! Don't try to fool me, a young noble like you can't possibly have this much money or such power?"

  Marx hastily said: "I dare not deceive Your Highness, when I was young and left home, I have been struggling outside, my country may not even know that there is such a person as me, so my father's title is not high, nor is he famous."

  Li Xie stared into Marx's eyes, looking like he wasn't telling a lie, and it seemed that Marx didn't need to lie either. He smiled: "You should also return to your hometown, huh? Go to Chrysanthemum City to report, bring your whole family over, and let them enjoy the glory too! When you arrive in Chrysanthemum City, just say I introduced you. The password is 'Master Meng is above', someone will arrange for you at that time, understand?"

  Marx's face was excited, and he quickly thanked him. Being able to follow a demigod was not only an honor, but also an opportunity for further improvement.

  "Go ahead, I have something else to attend to, so I won't keep you."

  "Yes, Your Highness!"

  Marx bowed three times before flying away from the spaceship.

  Looking at Marx's back, Li Xie's eyes flickered uncertainly. He didn't actually believe what Marx said, but he also couldn't see through his words. However, if Marx went to Chrysanthemum City, Li Xie believed that with Jack's cautiousness, he would definitely thoroughly investigate Marx's background. Moreover, if this person was really the Right Prime Minister's son, people who had seen him might still be able to recognize him.

  "Alas, I'm not heartless enough!" Li Xie sighed and shook his head. He suspected that this person was not telling the truth, suspected that he was the Right Prime Minister's youngest son, and also wanted to kill him rather than let him go, but under uncertain circumstances, Li Xie still couldn't bring himself to do it. Randomly killing innocent people wasn't his style, and besides, he might lose the help of a 9th-tier summoner.

  Li Xie stopped thinking and sat down, taking out the Qi Wu Bing Jian to flip through it. Although he didn't practice martial arts, looking at it was still good, at least to understand the battle techniques inside, whether there were any swordsmanship methods.

  Although Li Xie is immune to magic below the 10th level, although his speed is no different from that of a 10th-level cultivator, and although he is immune to most physical damage, in the end, he is just an unkillable little monster. Even with the divine sword Evil Blade in hand, all he can do is wield it wildly and slash about. Currently, apart from needing to increase his level, what he lacks is a set of sword techniques!

  With his physical condition, he can actually rival a tenth-level expert, but he is certain that if he encounters a tenth-level expert, he will definitely lose. Others have been cultivating for a long time and their combat skills are impeccable, but what about Li Xie? He has good conditions but cannot apply them in reality.

  What's with the sword?!

  Li Xie directly turned to the two sets of combat skills recorded in the Qi Wu Bing Jian, one set was the fist method "Overlord Thirteen Fists" and the other set was the axe method "Thirty-six Moves Opening Mountain Axe".

  This can't help but make Li Xie feel a little disappointed. Although they can all be used for practice, Li Xie can't just abandon the evil knife, right? As for axe techniques, Li Xie doesn't have a suitable weapon, and as for fist techniques, this will probably take a long time to cultivate!

  However, without a knife method, Li Xie didn't overdo it either. He always believed that as long as his vampire level continued to rise, his strength would be greatly enhanced. If he advanced to the Golden Eye Vampire and cultivated the techniques in the "Vampire Handbook", he wouldn't need any knife methods or fist methods at all.

  Li Xie stood at the bow of the ship, looking ahead, his fists clenched: "Dragon Clan, countless dragon crystals! I've arrived!"
