Chapter 72 Two-Legged Anaconda

"Spiritual tools are even rarer. The reason why they are rare is that, on the one hand, the materials needed to refine spiritual tools are at least true-level monsters. For a city like Chixia Xiancheng, which gathers a large number of Qi-refining cultivators, there are very few cultivators who can hunt true-level monsters. Even if a small number of Taoist friends with amazing combat power can kill true-level monsters, they usually have to pay a considerable price. The materials obtained are naturally given priority for their own use and will never be sold. On the other hand, spiritual tools need to be infused with the essence of monsters. There is also a probability of failure in this process. Once it fails, a monster essence will be lost out of thin air, which can be said to be a heavy loss."

"Therefore We [Ancient Artifact Building] only provide services for refining spirit tools and spirit embryos. Anyway, the methods and precautions for injecting monster spirits can be seen in many places in the East Market of Chixia Fairy City. As for whether it can be successful, it depends on one's luck. Therefore, for high-level magic tools and spiritual tools, our [Ancient Artifact Building] only supports customization, and there are no finished products for direct sale. "

"I see." Xiao Lin nodded, feeling that he benefited a lot from this visit to [Ancient Artifact Building]. Lan Caier may have made a big deal with Xiao Lin, or perhaps in order to continue cooperation in the future, so she was unreserved to Xiao Lin and was very patient in the process of explaining, which made Xiao Lin quite fond of this woman.

Through Lan Caier, Xiao Lin finally understood that whether it was a top-grade magic weapon or a top-grade spiritual weapon, in fact, it was through hunting mutant monsters and obtaining materials from them that the magic weapon with some special abilities could be refined. Therefore, in essence, there was no difference between high-level magic weapons and top-grade magic weapons, high-level spiritual weapons and top-grade spiritual weapons. The only difference was that the magic weapons themselves had some special abilities of mutant monsters, which in turn formed some special spell amplification functions or combat skills.

After thinking this through, Xiao Lin did not continue to waste time, but left the [Ancient Artifact Building] directly. Before leaving, he also specifically asked [Ancient Artifact Building] whether there were materials such as wind crystals for sale. The answer he got was that [Ancient Artifact Building] did not sell refining materials, but the materials obtained by the monks from hunting monsters could be purchased by [Ancient Artifact Building] at a price about 10% higher than the market price.

This made Xiao Lin quite speechless, but he could only temporarily put an end to the idea of ​​refining the spiritual weapon Lingyin Shield.

After leaving the [Ancient Artifact Building], Xiao Lin visited several shops that made magic tools in the inner city. However, the information he learned was basically the same as what Lan Caier told him. In his opinion, if you want to get a top-grade magic tool, you really need some chance. After all, the number of mutant monsters is extremely rare. They can only appear in those monsters with a large number of them. Moreover, these mutant monsters are usually the leaders of monsters. It is hard to kill them.

So Xiao Lin temporarily stopped thinking about buying a top-grade magic tool. In the future trials, he just needs to pay attention to the mutant monsters. As for the Fire Cloud Pendant in his bag, Xiao Lin still couldn't figure out whether it was a magic tool. Although he got this Fire Cloud Pendant from the Fu family, it was obvious that Fu Rong also got it by chance. He only knew how to drive it and didn't have a deeper understanding of this treasure.

Double the power of spells, double the speed of controlling weapons, these two properties alone are extremely abnormal. You should know that the ability of ordinary top-grade magic tools to increase spells by 10% is good enough, and 15% is basically the limit of top-grade magic tools, and it is definitely the best among top-grade magic tools.

And this Fire Cloud Pendant can actually achieve an astonishing 1-fold increase, which is much stronger than the top-grade magic tools. The only thing that makes Xiao Lin a little depressed is that this Fire Cloud Pendant actually consumes blood. A person's mana can be quickly replenished through elixirs or meditation, but once the blood is depleted, it can only be restored through recuperation and meditation, and the speed is very slow. Xiao Lin used the Fire Cloud Pendant twice in a row last time, which consumed 20% of his blood. It took him half a month to recover, but fortunately, a small amount of blood loss will not affect his combat power, and it has no effect on mana.

It is precisely because of this limitation that Xiao Lin never uses this Fire Cloud Pendant except as a last resort to save his life. Moreover, for basic spells, even if it can be doubled, if it cannot kill the enemy instantly, the blood and qi will be greatly depleted, and if it is not handled properly, it may be reversed, which will not be worth the loss.

After wandering around the fairy city for another two hours, Xiao Lin left the Chixia Fairy City after making sure that no one noticed him, and flew towards the depths of the Tianlu Mountains with the Seven Blades Slash.

......

A few days later, Xiao Lin looked at the endless black water waves in front of him, and a look of reminiscence appeared on his face. This was the place where he practiced magic in the past-Black Water Lake.

The Black Water Lake covers an area of ​​ten thousand miles, and on this dark lake surface, there are hundreds of large and small islands scattered around. The smallest of these islands is only a few dozen feet in size, and the largest is over a hundred miles in size. These islands are undoubtedly occupied by monsters. A few years ago, Xiao Lin killed countless water arrow frogs in this Black Water Lake in order to improve his proficiency in basic spells. However, the water arrow frog is just an ordinary, low-level monster that grows on the outermost edge of the Black Water Lake.

Even low-level Qi Refining cultivators have no interest in this kind of monster. After all, cultivators hunt monsters mainly for the materials for refining weapons on them. The water arrow frog has nothing to do except for its venom, which is very common and not valuable. Moreover, this kind of monster likes to live in groups and there are a lot of them. This makes cultivators even less willing to do such a thankless task.

Xiao Lin has now entered the seventh level of Qi Refining and has practiced three primary spells, namely Thunder Spell, Fireball Spell and Void Spirit Shield. Naturally, he will not take this water arrow frog seriously. His target this time is the two-legged anaconda in the depths of the Black Water Lake.

The two-legged anaconda is a truly ordinary high-level monster. It looks like a snake, but it is much larger than an ordinary snake. It is nearly five meters long and covered with fine black scales. There are two palm-sized black scales seven inches below its neck. These two black scales are the best materials for refining high-level magic tools. Not only does Xiao Lin's Seven Blades Slash need to be upgraded to a high-level magic tool, but many high-level magic tools also need to use this material during the refining process. Therefore, there are not a few monks who form teams to hunt the two-legged anaconda.

Although the two-legged anaconda is also a water monster, it mainly lives on several large islands in the Black Water Lake. Of course, this monster can also be found in the lake, but most monks choose to kill the two-legged anaconda on the island.

Xiao Lin's target was a group of islands in the Black Water Lake, three thousand miles away from the shore. There were at least hundreds of islands, the largest of which had a diameter of seventy or eighty miles. In addition, there were countless towering ancient trees growing on these islands.
