Chapter 447: Chapter 157: Forging Azure and White Snakes in My Sleeves, First Foray into the Lotus Sect’s Miracle Beast Valley

The puppet entered the box and moved out the iron furnace and other items.

Meanwhile, Li Yuan leaped into the box and took out several crystal stones.

These were his materials for forging soldiers — Upper Grade Blood Crystal Marrow.

This was also what he used for Gu Xuejian’s weapon forging before.

You should know, for a normal Fifth Grade spiritual artifact forging, usually only "Blood Gold Crystal" is used, as "Blood Crystal Marrow" is exceedingly rare, and a whole "Blood Gold Vein" could take decades or even a century to produce a batch of such materials.

Blood Crystal Marrow is extremely dense, twice that of ordinary blood crystal, which is ten times that of iron.

As for the price, blood crystal compared to gold is entirely priceless, and blood crystal marrow compared to blood crystal is the same, but if forced to exchange, it would be one to three, in other words...a hundred pounds of Blood Crystal Marrow would be at least equivalent to three thousand taels of Blood Gold.

The Blood Crystal Marrow that Li Yuan currently held in his hand weighed a total of six hundred pounds, but it was only about as large as thirty pounds of iron.

Li Yuan had painstakingly gathered such a large amount of Blood Crystal Marrow.

The first time, the Sect Leader specifically awarded him three hundred pounds to win him over; the second time, he acquired it through his own hard efforts.

These items were stored in secret warehouses near the deep mountains, guarded by Secret Soldiers and Puppets.

As for why they weren’t moved to the Black Market Ghost Realm in advance, it was probably due to concerns that the extremely hot Blood Crystal Marrow would react unpredictably with the cold ghost realm, causing accidents.

With everything in place, Li Yuan immediately returned to the Black Market Ghost Realm, choosing an empty area capable of withstanding lightning strikes, he sat cross-legged with closed eyes, beginning to adjust his state.

Six hundred pounds of Blood Crystal Marrow, enough for him to forge two spiritual artifacts.

Lady Yan also stood silently by Li Yuan’s side, prepared to provide him with Yin Qi.

To avoid accidents, they had sent their daughter to Tang Nian’s place in advance.

A day passed...

Li Yuan felt his essence, energy, and spirit all adjusted to their optimal state, he swiftly lit the furnace and started a fire.

He had completely mastered these weapon forging procedures.

Amid his fluid, smooth actions, everything proceeded methodically.

The pale bone charcoal rose in vigorous flames within the ghost realm, causing the cold space to warp and ripple.

However, unlike the Land of Extreme Yin where Master Gong resided, the Yin Qi here was not chaotic, as it was being gathered upon Lady Yan and the other three Evil Ghosts.

Li Yuan quickly introduced the specially prepared metal, bare-chested, his muscles bulging, his eyes shining like the bright Taiyang, focusing intently on the rapidly gathering Blood Crystal Marrow.

Seeing that the form was almost complete, the time was right, he suddenly grabbed a Ghost Hammer from the void, simultaneously ejecting a drop of Source Blood.

Clang!

A sharp sound tore through the valley’s tranquility.

Lady Yan in Cyan Robe sat cross-legged to the side, watching quietly.

She occasionally glanced at the furnace, and at her man.

No matter how intense the fire from the bone charcoal got, it couldn’t redden her skin in the slightest.

Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang!

Amidst the rapid, precise, and continuous pounding like a torrential storm, Li Yuan was fully absorbed, not turning his gaze, as if he was a tireless weapon-forging machine, his whole being entering an indescribable state.

Suddenly, he seemed to sense something, he shouted urgently: "Sister Yan!"

Lady Yan’s small mouth was already prepared, she began to blow gently.

Her breath was incredibly accurate, the strength just right, focusing only on the spirit embryo above the flame without blowing on Li Yuan or the furnace...

Li Yuan also began to infuse life span.

Unexpectedly, the limit of Blood Crystal Marrow’s endurance was still five hundred years.

He didn’t hesitate, infusing five hundred years of life span at once while choosing "temporary treatment for life span consumption".

Instantly, the young black hair turned grayish white, like silver-white mane wildly dancing in the wind, wrinkles blossomed on his forehead, while the originally vibrant eyes still held their spirit, only now appearing aged...

Lady Yan’s little mouth opened wide in astonishment, she stared at Li Yuan in a daze.

If Li Yuan hadn’t previously mentioned this matter to her, or if she didn’t know that her man wouldn’t act so foolishly, she would’ve desperately stopped Li Yuan from continuing to forge weapons.

"Phew, phew, phew~~"

Lady Yan continued blowing Yin Qi.

Li Yuan only felt an extremely complex chaos burgeoning in the blade embryo.

Sweat began to seep from his entire body, his mind starting to overheat.

And as the gap caused by the instant consumption of five hundred years of life span arose, a massive convergence of wind and snow gathered from the sky, rolling thunderous slime, while beneath the ground, Evil Qi surged towards this ghost realm.

However, an anomaly occurred again.

The surging earth fiend Qi vanished as it entered the ghost realm, like water falling into a river, without entering the weapon.

Instead, Lady Yan, who was blowing at that moment, seemed to get tickled, sneezed.

"Achoo!"

A large breath of Yin Qi surged towards Li Yuan’s blade.

With the rush of this Yin breath, the thunderous slime from the sky seemed to lose its target, chaotically crashing around but not striking the blade.

Li Yuan: ...

He didn’t have time to mind this anomaly, vigorously swinging the hammer.

Lady Yan also exerted her strength, starting to blow rapidly.

For a long time...

And still longer...

Amidst the quenching sound, everything finally calmed down.

Li Yuan swiftly attached a handle and guard, revealing a long blade with a cyan edge and an eerily black spine.

Aside from the cyan, the blade edge extended streaks of black lines from the spine, resembling congealed scabs of blood dripping from the wall.

Lady Yan leaned closer, looking at the blade with worry, "There was Evil Qi rushing over just now, and my nose felt ticklish, so I sneezed, adding a lot more Yin Qi, will it be ruined?"
