Chapter 61: Thorn-Blue Spirit Wood

The tall and majestic gate of the Marquis Mansion,

Overall dark red, decorated with copper nails, seven horizontal and seven vertical, totaling forty-nine, which was precisely the system of a Marquis, and after three hundred years, it showed no signs of fading.

Above was a plaque, personally bestowed by the founding emperor, "Zhendong Marquis Mansion." On both sides of the gate, seven armored soldiers stood with spears, noble beyond compare.

A black-robed old man handed over a visiting card, and before long, someone led him inside.

This person was precisely 'Brother Chou' who had taken action in the battle at Fierce Tiger Stronghold. At that time, seeing the situation was not right, he immediately fled for his life, only returning to the Marquis Mansion after confirming it was safe recently.

The black-robed old man followed the steward, turning seven corners and eight turns. Along the way, there were black-armored soldiers guarding. The squad leaders and the like were at least internal qi realm, and the soldiers also had extraordinary strength, having reached a certain level of body forging.

Before long, he arrived at a more heavily guarded and hidden place, walking into it on his own.

There were already people inside.

Upon entering, he was attracted by a middle-aged man with a dragon-like walk and a wolf-like gaze, over forty years old, wearing only a simple brocade robe. He had an invisible attraction, making people listen to his words unconsciously and obey subconsciously.

Chou Di's eyes moved slightly.

A physiognomy master in the sect calculated that this Zhendong Marquis in front of him had 'Dragon Qi,' inherited the heritage of his ancestors, and was a person who could become the Son of Heaven in the future.

He sneered at this.

The sect supported him so vigorously, giving troops when asked, grain when asked, and people when asked. Years of 'Black Blood Pills' were used to cultivate elite soldiers.

These things, if put on a pig, could also be said to have dragon qi. Who would dare not to be convinced?

However, to be honest, this person's physiognomy was indeed extraordinary.

"Greetings, Marquis!"

Chou Di bowed, extremely respectful.

"Elder Chou, no need to be polite, sit." Zhendong Marquis Tang Wang's voice was cordial.

The black-robed old man sat down peacefully.

"Elder Chou, just a small junior, yet you were so scared that you didn't dare to return to the city for more than ten days. You are truly unworthy of being a member of the Wolf God Sect and have failed the Wolf Lord's trust."

Chen Chen mocked, and looking at his appearance, he was actually not afraid of the internal qi perfection black-robed old man at all.

"This old man is just this cowardly."

Chou Di was not angry either, lifting his eyelids: "This is also the reason why friends of the same generation have passed away one by one, while this old man is still living well. Honorable Guest Chen, don't follow in the footsteps of my old friends."

"As for the Wolf Lord, that Black Blood Pool is nearing exhaustion, so it doesn't matter if it's scrapped. It won't delay the big event."

Chen Chen snorted: "Don't bother yourself."

'Black Flame Blade' Hei Jin had just finished reading Jiang Ding's information, and he was also shocked, revealing a fighting spirit: "I wonder how his sword compares to my black blade?"

Chen Chen smiled: "Young Master Jin, why fight and kill like an idle Jianghu man? If needed, we can ask the Marquis for instructions, surround him with elite troops, and just make sure he can't escape and has to surrender."

Several people chatted for a while.

Suddenly, a steward walked in with hurried steps, kneeling and bowing: "Marquis, Young Sect Master Gong Caiyu of the Seven Profound Sect injured the Young Marquis, saying he had ulterior motives. Their mountain gate has already been surrounded by heavy-armored personal guards. Please instruct, Marquis."

"Trash!"

Zhendong Marquis Tang Wang frowned.

He was a hero for a lifetime, but this son was unbearable to cultivate, only barely stepping into the internal qi realm after supplementing with a large amount of genius treasures, similar to other descendants in the Marquis Mansion.

Therefore, he introduced the bones and blood of geniuses on the Dragon-Phoenix List, hoping that some talents would emerge among the grandchildren.

The hall was silent, and a needle could be heard falling.

"Marquis, after all, she is a Jianghu woman, vulgar and unbearable, unworthy of the future position of Imperial Concubine, and cannot be the mother of the world!" Chen Chen stepped out and bowed, then said.

This represented the attitude of a force.

He was unwilling to allocate such significant interests to the Seven Profound Sect, which didn't have much strength left.

"Order the Seven Profound Sect to make this girl reflect behind closed doors."

Zhendong Marquis Tang Wang said.

He knew the thoughts of his subordinates, however, compared to winning over generals and important ministers, the aptitude of the Marquis Mansion's descendants was also the top priority. Without sufficient strength, there would be no loyal subordinates.

Furthermore, there was a reason why any force could continue for a thousand years, and the Seven Profound Sect was no exception.

"Yes, Marquis."

Chen Chen retreated, feeling somewhat disappointed.

"Currently, the Black-Armored Guards of various prefectures and counties have returned, capturing a total of seventy-three internal qi realm martial artists, with more than thirty internal qi realm martial artist corpses, and the public security of various prefectures and counties has been cleared."

"Plus the Black Blood Pills accumulated over the years."

Tang Wang looked at the black-robed old man with expectation: "I wonder when the Dharma King of your sect can grace us with his presence and refine the 'Innate Black Blood Pill' for this Marquis?"

People in the Jianghu only knew of the Wolf Lord; only a very few people knew that the Wolf God Sect also had a Dharma King position, whose status was vaguely above the Wolf Lord, but he didn't deal with worldly affairs.

Tang Wang said solemnly: "This Marquis swears by the ancestors of all generations, if I can break through to the Innate stage, I will immediately raise troops, overthrow the lawless Yue Court, establish a new dynasty, and confer the Wolf God Sect as the state religion, coexisting with the country!"

"If there is any violation, heaven will punish and earth will destroy!"

Everyone's expression became serious.

"The Wolf Lord previously instructed that we can light the spirit incense given by the Dharma King at any time." Chou Di said solemnly: "The Dharma King will arrive in a few days at the fastest, or a month at the slowest."

"The Dharma King will only take action once."

"Marquis, you must think clearly. The success rate of refining the Innate Black Blood Pill is closely related to the quantity and potential of the main material, the internal qi realm martial artists. If it doesn't succeed, you will have to bear it yourself."

He confirmed.

"No rush, no rush."

Tang Wang's expression softened, and he smiled.

'Black Flame Blade' Hei Jin suddenly felt his body turn cold, gripped the sword hilt, and frowned as he looked at the person at the head of the table.

Jiang Ding returned home. After the kingfisher snatched away the specimens and Blue-Fluorescent Butterflies, he scrolled through his phone to process some information in the class group and clicked on another one.

"Diting Appraisal Co., Ltd.: The 'Unknown Blue Gem' you entrusted for appraisal has been appraised. The appraisal fee is 52 Spirit Coins, 50,000 Mortal Coins. The appraised object has been mailed out. The detailed report is as follows."

【Name: Thorn-Blue Wood Seed】

【Evergreen shrub, 0.5-2.5 meters high, irregularly multi-branched; branches are fleshy, relatively thick, young branches are grayish-yellow, branches are short and dense. Leaves are alternate, with light blue stripes, absorbing solar energy during the day to store, and emitting blue fluorescent light at night...

Function: Contains a relatively rich newly discovered substance 'Blue-Gold 2413', the function may be related to this new component...】

"Not jade, but a seed?"

Jiang Ding was startled, then revealed a look of joy.

"The second stage after the talisman sword, the wooden sword, is settled."

After the talisman sword cultivation reaches Great Accomplishment, it needs to be integrated into a plant seed, waiting quietly for it to sprout and take root, naturally growing into the shape of a wooden sword. The power of the flying sword will be greatly enhanced.

Putting away his phone, Jiang Ding opened the four express boxes that had already been delivered, which were mailed from Shu Province and the southeast of this province respectively.

First was the express box containing the Tier 1 Wind Spirit talisman paper.

A cyan talisman paper came into view, 30 centimeters long and wide, extremely light, and even breathing could make it tremble slightly. It could amplify the power of Tier 1 wind-attribute spells and array diagrams by 20%-25%. There were two sheets in total.

Closing the box, he opened the second express.

A heat wave hit him, and golden-red light radiated. Inside was a talisman paper 60 centimeters long and wide, looking almost like a metal plate.

Tier 1 Gold-Fire talisman paper, capable of amplifying the power of metal-attribute and fire-attribute spells by 40%-50%. The price was not cheap, almost reaching the limit of Tier 1 talisman paper.

He opened the third box again.

Tier 1 Green Carp talisman ink, made from the blood of the Tier 1 non-attribute Green Carp spirit beast, capable of perfectly connecting various attribute materials and spells.

The fourth box, Ginseng Essence Qi-Transforming Spirit Pills refined from century-old spirit ginseng. The medicinal properties were mild, capable of quickly replenishing the martial artist's depleted vitality, and could also accelerate the birth of internal qi. The efficiency was more than ten times that of ordinary elixirs, and the mild spiritual power contained within had special benefits for nourishing and tempering meridians.

One bottle, containing six pills.

After carefully checking the quality of the four, Jiang Ding put them away.

"Various practices and preparations are all ready. Tomorrow is the time to refine the talisman sword." ===== CHAPTER 62 =====
