Sword Among Us

[Fire Qilin Scale (Consumable Demon Vessel):

[When you add it into the refinement process, you can ensure that the temperature of the flames will be at a stable level. It is a gentle medicine, and it increases the success rate of refinement. In fact, even when the flames in the furnace are extinguished, it will ensure that the weapon will be unharmed and that the heat around the weapon remains at scorching temperatures.]

The description of Fire Qilin Scale was very detailed, but in conclusion, adding the scale during the refinement process was the same as having an unseen spirit watching over it. There was just no possibility of failing.

The scale could allow a third-echelon weapon to be upgraded to a fourth-echelon weapon with one hundred percent certainty!

If it were used with normal equipment, it would only have average value, but if it were used on a divine weapon, it would be worth cities, and when it was used with priceless treasures, Fire Qilin Scale would be priceless as well.

[Fire Qilin Blood (Consumable Demon Vessel):

[The Fire Qilin’s blood contains the greatest life force and medicinal properties in the world. Once you take it, you can heal all internal injuries, and it will also stimulate your potential, which means it will increase your qi slightly.

[However, each player can only use this item to increase their qi once. It will be ineffective next time, but will still cure wounds.]

To Happy, both items were very useful.

There was no need to even mention Fire Qilin Scale’s use. With it, he could finally refine Dragon Saber or the middle-grade divine weapon Heavenly Silk King Ice Gloves without any worries.

As for the other item, even though Happy had Nine Yang Divine Skill and his requirements for qi were not high, if he could push it to more than 550 points in a short period of time, he would be incredibly close to Moksha Realm. The increase in qi would aid him in reaching Moksha Realm faster. He might even become the first player to do it.

Phantasmal Shadow might not have obtained those two items, but she learned about them from Happy, and their value was more than obvious. Everyone was incredibly shocked after thinking about it.

“Congratulations!”

“Ha! Congratulations to you too. That Recondite Steel Ice Blade is also a good item you cannot hope to get through farming.” Happy pointed at the Recondite Steel Ice Blade in Phantasmal Shadow’s hands and said with a drawl, “During the battle at Light Summit, you’ve displayed incredibly shocking whip techniques. Coincidentally, I have a low-grade divine whip with me. If you want it, we can trade.”

“Divine whip?” Phantasmal Shadow’s eyes lit up.

She did indeed have a fierce love for whips, but the refinement process for them was very difficult, and she was gradually falling behind the others in terms of weapons. Besides, whip techniques had always been rare, which was why she was starting to think of changing her weapon.

But when she heard Happy’s suggestion, she was instantly tempted!

However, regardless of whether it was the value of Recondite Steel Ice Blade itself or how precious was its attribute which allowed its user to switch between saber and sword techniques, they were clearly stronger than a low-grade divine whip. It was not worth it to trade it for only one divine weapon.

When Happy saw the uncertainty and hesitation on Phantasmal Shadow’s face, he quickly gave her a tempting suggestion.

“How about this? When I go back, I’ll refine that divine weapon to the second echelon, and it will have a 100% increase in its attributes. It’ll be much stronger than a middle-grade divine weapon, and that should close the gap between them. If I successfully refine it, we’ll trade, and if I fail, pretend I never said anything about it.”

It had to be said that Happy’s suggestion increased the balance of the trade!

Phantasmal Shadow did not think twice and quickly agreed to it.

“Alright, that’s a promise!”

Not every Forgemaster had the courage to refine divine weapons. Aside from the person from Mu Clan, there was basically no one who dared risk a divine weapon.

The value of a divine weapon itself was already ridiculous, and the success rate for its refinement was lower than that of masterpieces. The slightest careless mistake would cause the weapon to break during the refinement process.

The second echelon was not high, but a second-echelon divine weapon was much more powerful than a normal fourth-echelon masterpiece!

It was very easy to handle the distribution of the remaining items. After all, the attributes of normal grade one masterpieces were not that far off from each other, and they would all be offerings for the storages.

The group divided them into three portions. Happy and Momo took two portions, while Wind Assault Tower took the last one. Like that, they quickly divided the resources.

Momo, Phantasmal Shadow, and the others chose to stay where they were, while Happy turned back to look for Silver Wolf and the others. He used a Fire Evasion Pearl to escort Song Yuanqiao and the others over there after they had recovered their qi slightly.

All-powerful Medicinal Stone soon found the mechanism to leave Sky Demon Secret Cave!

“Our trip this time was pretty good,” Happy said once they left Sky Demon Secret Cave. “We killed two martial artists at the peak of Inaction Realm, along with seven normal evil cult elders. Our rewards are pretty great. The only regret is that I didn’t manage to kill Fire Qilin.”

“Yeah, it’s too much of a pity. Even if we can’t kill it, if we could just get a few Fire Qilin Scales from it, it’d be great. That item can guarantee a hundred percent success rate of one refinement. It’d be able to sell for a lot if we put it up for sale.”

Wu Kuo’s money grubbing words caused everyone to roll their eyes at him simultaneously.

At that point, who would sell a treasure like Fire Qilin Scale?

“Alright! Tower Master Shadow, we’ll be escorting you up to this point—Guys, stop here for a moment—I hope to see you again!”

Happy stood in front of Song Yuanqiao and the others with his fist wrapped in his palm to bid farewell to Phantasmal Shadow and the others.

The people from Wind Assault Tower stood together with the wind in their faces. One of them stood ahead of the others.

“Farewell! I hope that we’ll have a chance to work together with Mu Clan in the future.” Phantasmal Shadow stared into Happy’s eyes with an underlying meaning in her words.

Happy laughed heartily and answered, “We’ll have a chance. Farewell!”

*****

They did not need to escort Song Yuanqiao to Wudang Sect. All they needed to do was hand them to the Beggar’s Sect disciples on the way. While they were traveling back, Momo, patted her horse and caught up to Happy. The two then rode side by side.

“If Sky Demon Sect didn’t crumble, it means that it will appear in the future,” Momo said Happy with an underlying meaning in her words.

Happy nodded to show his understanding. “The rewards in Sky Demon Sect are great. There is a certain chance that we will get a divine weapon by fighting against two martial artists at the peak of Inaction Realm. That alone is enough to attract countless powerful players… but without a certain degree of strength, they will definitely die if they go there.”

“That’s right.” All-powerful Medicinal Stone agreed to it from the back of the group with smugness. “The mechanisms and traps along the way are enough to make me feel faint, so many people will be forced to run around in circles.”

“There’s me too.” When Wind Chimes heard All-powerful Medicinal Stone crediting himself, she could not accept it. She craned her neck forward while sitting on her horse. “Without my divination skills, we might have chosen the wrong path and entered a path that would have led to our deaths. Who would survive at that time?”

“That’s right. Wind Chimes is good, and All-powerful Medicinal Stone also contributed. Everyone, when you go back, remember to get fifty million contribution points.”

“So much?” Little North was pleasantly surprised.

It had to be known that the quest belonged to Happy, and they were only helping out. Based on Mu Clan’s rules, it was already enough if they obtained twenty million points, even though the rewards this time were very good.

“That Fire Qilin Scale alone is already worth it! Besides, we gained a drop of Fire Qilin Blood and two divine weapons.” Happy smiled. “When we go back, contact Thunderous Battle and have him immediately set up a branch here! Even if we can’t monopolize Sky Demon Secret Cave, we must absolutely get those two martial artists at the peak of Inaction Realm. As time passes, we’ll get each of you a fourth-echelon divine weapon!”

Happy’s made everyone’s eyes light up!

Having everyone possess one fourth-echelon divine weapon was no longer an arrogant boast. With Mu Clan’s strength, as long as Happy declared something, they could absolutely do it!
