The earliest Horcrux sold was called the "Shuanglu Blood Python Ironwood Sword". It was made by Feng Huang. It was extremely hard and infused with true energy. When released, it turned into a strange snake. It was very powerful and was equivalent to a sword. gas. .The price of this sword was three thousand "feiqian", but no one cared about it at first. Lu Wei felt it was strange and secretly informed Chu Ge about it. Chu Ge appeared in person at "Yizhu Zhu", took out the sword and played with it for a long time before accepting it. .
The sword itself was ordinary, but the real energy released as a strange snake reminded him of the year-end gambling game many years ago, when Wei Shiqi defeated Kou Yucheng with an iron rod. "Shuanglu Blood Python Iron Wood Sword" is a test and a signal. Wei Shiqi is planning something, and he must prepare early.
Sure enough, following the "Shuanglu Blood Python Iron Wood Sword", three new Horcruxes were placed on the shelf of "Yizhu", a sword, an axe, and a whip. The sword and ax were fine, but the whip was extraordinary. The head of the whip was half a human bone. The hands were folded on the chest. The eyes of the skull flashed with green fire. The whip body was a complete python bone. The texture was excellent and thousands of miles away. Pick one, and the price tag is also the most expensive.
This python bone whip has quite an origin. It was collected from the bones of Grandma Tong, a beautiful python from the Sky Demon Tribe. Qi Du, one of the "Ten Sons of Pingyuan", refined it into a magical weapon and worked hard to create it. Three "empty positions" were passed down to his disciple Sun Ergou. When Sun Ergou was buried in Chixia Valley, he was possessed by a vine demon. The python bone whip fell into the hands of Lu Wei. Later, Yu Yao asked for it and handed it over to Feng. Huang, ingesting the soul, becomes a "horcrux".
In the end, the whip was collected by the Poison Sword Sect, and the sword and ax fell into the hands of the Sword Control Sect. Chu Ge let it go gently and did not fight with them.
The four soul weapons were all returned to Kunlun. Although the monks were envious, they had nothing to complain about. Kunlun was wealthy and used "flying money" to clear the way. He did not use shady means and was willing to buy. Selling is reasonable.
The Kunlun faction got an advantage and did not hide it. Under the auspices of Chu Ge, they summoned the monks from Dongming City and held a "Tasting Conference" to demonstrate the four Horcruxes one by one. All joints should be made public. Everyone looked carefully and saw that "horcruxes" require very little cultivation, but can increase combat power by one or two levels, comparable to high-grade magic weapons. The most important thing is that as long as the materials are sufficient, "horcruxes" can be "customized" and "Mass production".
"Yi Hu Zhu" is just a facade. The real force hidden behind the scenes is Xiaobai from Jietianling Luo Niaojian, a confidant of the city lord Wei Shiqi. She only has Feng, Wen and Jin. Among the three of them, Feng Huang was refining the weapon, Wen Shuanglu was the assistant, and Jin Xiaodie was collecting materials. They all cooperated with each other quite well.
For the past twenty years, Feng Huang has been focused on smelting "horcruxes" without any distractions. In addition to the three known spirit combinations of "Yang Fire", "Six Earths" and "Shuanglu Blood Python", Two more species were found, one was the Gelsemium snake, the jointed python, and the water-walking four-legged snake, and the other was the red-bellied poisonous spider, the white star spider, the ground spider, and the dayman spider.
The combination of these two spirits requires extremely high requirements for the weapon. Feng Huang spent a lot of time to refine one of each. The former is the hook bone four beautiful whips, and the latter is the Red Star Futian Sword. The hook bone four-beautiful whip uses the python bone whip left by Sun Ergou, and the red star futian sword uses Deng Yuantong.The Four Soul Swords left behind were not made by Feng Huang. Every time he thought about this, he sighed with regret, which was a lifelong regret.
With the limited power of Feng Huang, Wen Shuanglu, and Jin Xiaodie, the scale and progress of refining "horcruxes" has faced a bottleneck. Xiaobai made a concerted effort to propose a bold idea to Wei Shiqi. The idea was approved by him.
This idea, simply put, is to remove several key difficulties and allow more people to participate. Wei Shiqi understood immediately when he heard it. Isn't this just "retaining the core technology and outsourcing the manufacturing"?
He asked Xiaobai to let it go, and then "Yi Hu Zhu" appeared.
In just a few months, the monks in Dongming City have reached a consensus that "horcruxes" will eventually replace magic weapons and become the necessary means to increase combat power. The business opportunities and benefits contained therein are huge no matter what. It cannot be overestimated. "Yi Hu Zhu" is likely to become the next "Cui Fang". Missing "Cui Fang" can be said to be a mistake. Missing "Yi Hu Zhu" is a naked mistake.
Everything was as expected. Various forces unanimously expressed their intention to invest, but Xiaobai declined politely. "Horcruxes" kept appearing on the shelves of "Yi Hu Beads", and the prices were getting higher and higher. The more ruthless it is, the more people's appetites are aroused. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is "building momentum", but no one knows what the real purpose of "building momentum" is.
The Five Elements Sect and "Cai Fang" were not involved. Chu Ge knew clearly that if "Yi Hu Zhu" might become the next "Cai Fang", then he must abide by his duty and never reach out. boundary. The person who openly controls "Yizhu Bead" can be the Poison Sword Sect, the Sword Control Sect, the Xiandu Sect, or even an unrelated casual cultivator, but it will never be the Five Elements Sect.
Just when "Yizhu Pearl" attracted everyone's attention and its momentum reached its peak, the "Fire Crow Palace" in Fallen Bird Stream surfaced. Xiaobai was the master of the palace and Feng Huang was the worshiper. Wen Shuanglu was the deacon and Jin Xiaodie was the disciple. Jin Peiyu, Xia Yihu and Qian Yuan joined the Fire Crow Palace and started as handymen, learning how to smelt "horcruxes". Send someone to take charge.
This incident sent out two signals. 1. Xiandu is the agent of Fire Crow Palace in Dongming City. 2. The Fire Crow Palace officially began to absorb new blood.
Contrary to what Chu Ge guessed, Wei Shiqi did not intervene in "Yi Hu Zhu" and "Fire Crow Palace" from beginning to end, nor did he give any opinions. Xiaobai did a very good job, every link was intertwined, and it was watertight. Over the years, she had seen Wei Shiqi's behavior and had learned all about his methods. Even Chu Ge didn't see any flaws.
The reason why Xiandu was chosen was also due to Qin Zhen's consideration. This city was destined to be left to her. If "Yi Hu Zhu" was to be split in the future, Qin Zhen would definitely hold a considerable share. , Xiaobai will play the role of the Ghost King, hiding behind the scenes and becoming her most solid backing.
Since she had thought carefully, Wei Shiqi was happy to see the results, so he let Xiaobai do it. The Fire Crow Palace quickly grew in strength, and the people were prosperous, each performing his or her duties. The most critical secret of making "Horcruxes" is only mastered from beginning to end.In the hands of Xiaobai and Feng Huang, even Wen Shuanglu knew very little.
As the days passed, under the instruction of Wei Shiqi, the Scarlet Star Merit Palace increased the remuneration for entrustment. The "horcruxes" produced by the Fire Crow Palace tended to be low-end. Of course, those high-priced high-quality products Monopolized by wealthy forces, cheap but low-end "horcruxes" also began to flow into the hands of monks, gradually replacing magic weapons and magical weapons, injecting new vitality into Dongming City.
This is an era of change, a major change that has not been seen in tens of thousands of years. Even Wei Shiqi can't see clearly where everything he promotes will lead the world. Give a few instructions, make some arrangements, and then wait and see what happens. What an interesting game it is. If time permits, he really wants to play this game for a long time.
However, unexpected, or should be said, expected variables finally appeared.
In the twenty-fourth year of Zhenhai, Lu Sheng came to Scarlet Star City alone. (..)
