Chapter 418
: Master Song's Insect Armor Shop Opens Again
"Okay, stop laughing and get dressed!"
Long Xuan threw out a set of clothes, his eyes showing disdain. It was black and ugly.
The Bone-Growing and Blood-Melting Pill can only generate flesh, but it cannot create clothes out of thin air. An old man without clothes jumping around in front of him is really an eyesore.
Only then did Shui Lao realize that he was not wearing any clothes, and his face turned red.
He took the clothes that flew from the air and put them on quickly. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Haha! My friend, I have nothing now. Can you give me some pills for cultivation? I want all the first to third grade spiritual enhancement pills."
"When I regain my Gu King status, I will return your money with interest!"
"No problem!" Long Xuan readily took out bottles of pills from his storage ring and placed them on the ground. There were all kinds of spirit-enhancing pills from the first to third grades, and they soon piled up on the ground.
Most of these pills were from other people's storage bags, which he had no use for at all. A small number of them were made by him himself.
The pills he had refined had all been tampered with by him. He should not have the intention to harm others, but he must be on guard against others. At present, he could not trust Shui Lao 100%, and could only make some secret moves to protect himself.
These hidden moves are guaranteed to be undetectable to the Gu King. As long as Shui Lao does not attack him, he will be safe for the rest of his life. If Shui Lao has ill intentions, the evil toxin in the elixir will not be easy for even the Gu King to bear.
"I only have these pills for now. When you run out, come and ask me for them. There is a lightning rod I installed here. Even if there is no water, the lightning here will not hurt you. Just practice here with peace of mind."
"I'm about to make a breakthrough. I need to retreat for a while. Call me when the tea tasting conference is about to start."
After that, Long Xuan said no more and turned to leave.
Shui Lao looked at the four lightning rods arranged around him and marveled in amazement.
He had noticed these four lightning rods a long time ago, and it was not difficult to see their function. He really couldn't imagine that just four tall metal pillars could allow people nearby to ignore the bombardment of lightning.
He couldn't see the reason at all.
If humans could master this technology early on, anyone would be able to enter and exit the Thunder Swamp without any harm, and the Thunder Swamp would no longer be a forbidden area in the eyes of humans.
"It's really a fantastic idea. I don't know how he came up with it."
Old Shui looked at the four lightning rods with secret fear. After seeing Long Xuan's back completely gone, he finally walked over, picked up the pills on the ground, and walked towards a cave not far away.
After entering the cave, he placed the pill given by Long Xuan in his palm and observed it carefully for a moment. He did not find any clues, but being cautious by nature, he still did not take the pill. A storage ring appeared out of thin air in his hand, he took out a pill from it and threw it into his mouth, then began to practice with his eyes closed.
He did not lie to Long Xuan. All his belongings were indeed lost in that battle.
But before the war he did not carry all his belongings with him, and how could he put all his eggs in one basket?
If he didn't have a single Gu, how could he dare to seek revenge on Shui Wuqing?
The reason why he asked Long Xuan for the elixir was just to show that he had nothing, so that Long Xuan wouldn't see that he was only at the Gathering Spirit Stage and have the idea of killing people for the treasure.
Even though he was a soul at the peak of the Gu King level and had many trump cards, so there was no need to be afraid of him, he did not want to cause unnecessary trouble. After all, that kid had a master whom he could not afford to offend.
……
After Long Xuan returned to the main island, he began to work on his own wine recipe in seclusion.
This time, the self-created wine recipe is different from the previous ones. The ingredients used in this recipe are the fruits of the world tree.
The fruit of the World Tree is the highest-level material in the world. It is conceivable how difficult it is to create a wine recipe using it. The auxiliary materials alone are not easy to collect.
He could only create his own wine recipe while ordering his clone to collect the expensive ingredients for the recipe.
So the long-closed Master Song's insect armor shop in Sin City reopened. As usual, Master Song's products must be top-notch, and each of the insect armors he made must be exchanged for designated materials, and he does not accept spirit stone transactions.
The materials that can be used as medicine with the World Tree Fruit are rarer than each other, and they obviously cannot be exchanged with ordinary insect armor.
Long Xuan gritted his teeth and used a large amount of alloy to make a batch of high-quality insect armor.
This batch of insect armor is definitely a groundbreaking one. Its strength far exceeds that of the insect armor of this era, and it is much stronger than the cold iron insect armor sold before.
The most important thing is that it is cheap. The characteristic of alloy is that a bunch of very ordinary metals are used to synthesize an extremely powerful metal.
It seems that the insect armor he makes is amazing, but in fact the cost is not that much at all, and the profit margin from selling the insect armor is terrifyingly high.
As expected, the alloy beetle armor became an instant hit after it was released. People came to buy the alloy beetle armor in an endless stream every day, and Master Song's beetle armor shop became popular again.
Half a year passed in a flash.
In the past six months, Long Xuan has already successfully researched the wine recipe. As the main ingredient of the wine recipe is the fruit of the World Tree, and each fruit contains a world, the Great Thousand Worlds, so he named this wine Da Qian Wine.
The Daqian wine recipe is ready, now only the ingredients are missing.
During the past six months, he used Master Song's Insect Armor Shop to collect most of the ingredients for the wine recipe, except for three ingredients, which he failed to collect even after half a year.
The materials that can be used to make wine with the World Tree Fruit are extremely rare. If one is unlucky, it may take ten years, let alone half a year, to collect them. No matter how anxious Long Xuan is, there is nothing he can do.
On this day, an uninvited guest came to Master Song's insect armor shop.
Long Xuan was sitting in the store yawning out of boredom when a man in a black robe walked into the store and went straight to the store's treasure.
Master Song's Insect Armor Shop has three treasures, all of which are Gu King-level insect armors made of fourth-grade holy gold alloy. The conditions for exchanging them are exactly the three materials he is missing. They have been placed here for more than half a year, and no one has successfully exchanged them.
It was also because he had three fourth-grade insect armors in his shop that Long Xuan once again brought out a Gu King master who was able to refine fourth-grade insect armors, which frightened the scoundrels, and no one dared to cause trouble in his shop until now.
With the testimony of a trustworthiness Gu, everyone was convinced that he had a terrible master.
Looking at the black-robed man who suddenly walked into the store, Long Xuan shuddered suddenly and all sleepiness disappeared in an instant.
He looked at the mysterious man in black robe with a serious gaze and a frown.
Most of the time, he had one clone sitting in the store, but on this day he was bored and sat in the store all day. Unexpectedly, a customer came in with a payment of five decimal places.
A creature with such a long developmental period could not possibly be a human, so what exactly was it? Could it be a spiritual beast in human form?
Long Xuan became alert.
At this time, the man in black robes finally spoke: "Interesting, really interesting, it is obviously made of fourth-grade metal, but its hardness is harder than most fifth-grade metals."
"In this world where the Gu King is the strongest, this metal is invincible. No one in the world can break it."
"As expected of the treasure of our store, I would like to call these three insect armors the best in the Gu world!" said the man in black robe excitedly.
Long Xuan gently stroked Chengxin Gu's back and said with a smile, "Senior, you have a good eye. The metal used for this insect armor was obtained by my master from a ruin. The quantity is limited, and only three of these insect armors can be made."
"This metal is extremely strange. Even my master cannot figure out its origin, let alone its name."
"Could it be that the senior is also a beetle armor master? After the beetle armor has been processed by the encryption array, most people don't have the ability to see it." (End of this chapter)
