Chapter 149: Five-Tier Heaven-Shaking Cannon Blueprint

149. Chapter 149: Five-Tier Heaven-Shaking Cannon Blueprint

Time drifted to midnight, and the System Mall was about to be updated.

Li Xuan also felt the time was near, so he slowly exited his cultivation state.

After several hours of cultivation, Li Xuan had absorbed a good amount of silver‑white energy, and the killing intent on his body grew stronger; after absorbing the first strand of killing Qi, further absorption no longer affected his emotions.

The next cultivation was to continuously accumulate killing Qi, condense it into killing intent, and then transform the intent into a Killing Domain.

Li Xuan no longer cared about what realm his killing intent had reached; his mind was filled with anticipation of the System Mall update, after all it might refresh an item capable of killing a Title Douluo.

"That's the Inner Core of the ancient beast Ten‑Headed Blazing Sun Snake; Tongzi Ge must pull through. Even if we can't get something that directly kills a Title Soul Master, something that can kill a Soul Master would do," Li Xuan sat by the Hot Spring, palms together, eyes closed, praying silently.

After finishing his wish with the system yesterday, Li Xuan felt a bit regretful; he might have overestimated the value of the Ten‑Headed Blazing Sun Snake Inner Core, as its worth seemed insufficient to exchange for an item that could kill a Title Douluo—after all, it is just a single Inner Core.

Li Xuan had no idea what the system might refresh today, so his mood was somewhat uneasy.

But soon Li Xuan steadied his mindset; after all, the system had never shortchanged him, so he chose to trust that it wouldn't let him lose out.

"Come on, system, open the mall! Let me see what good stuff you prepared for me!" Li Xuan slapped his thigh hard and said to the system.

As soon as Li Xuan finished speaking, a blue Light Screen slowly materialized before him.

【System Mall】

【Fried Peanuts *1……1 points】

【Salted Duck Egg *1……1 points】

【Heaven-Repairing Pill (Six‑Tier) *1……999999 points】

【Heaven-Shaking Cannon series blueprints (special price)…1 point (original price: unknown)】

"Heaven-Shaking Cannon? Not enough cultivation, so you rely on technology?" Li Xuan raised an eyebrow, watching the Heaven-Shaking Cannon Blueprint on the Light Screen with interest.

Obviously, this blueprint was the item the system used to trade for the Ten‑Headed Blazing Sun Snake Inner Core.

Li Xuan hesitated not at all, immediately exchanged for the blueprint, and was curious what the blueprint recorded that could possibly kill a Title Douluo.

As Li Xuan confirmed the exchange, a flash of white light passed, and a delicate small Purple‑Gold Box crafted from purple gold appeared before him.

"What a premium package!" Li Xuan exclaimed, looking at the box in his hand with delight.

The box felt heavy, seeming to contain many items; its length and width were about one foot each, forged entirely of purple gold, with four unknown beast heads in relief on its surface, engraved patterns throughout, its edges wrapped in golden brass, and the lid bore the three characters "Heaven-Shaking Cannon".

Even aside from other factors, the box's value was already high, so Li Xuan was very eager about its contents.

Li Xuan took a deep breath, then carefully opened the box's lid, only to find it packed full of Scrolls.

"A whole set of blueprints, Brother Tong is mighty, giving me so many good things at once." Li Xuan said, his eyes brightening as he saw the box filled with Scrolls.

Then Li Xuan carefully lifted the topmost Scroll.

The Scroll felt light and supple, likely made of a special leather and silk. Before Li Xuan could open it, a Light Screen projected from the Scroll.

【Item: Gravity Tremor Cannon Blueprint】

【Quality: Gold】

【Description: Detailed records of the manufacturing method for the Five‑Tier Artifact Gravity Tremor Cannon, including required materials, forging techniques, engraved sigils, daily maintenance, and projectile crafting】

"Blueprints for a Five‑Tier Artifact?" Li Xuan was stunned.

Not to mention, Five‑Tier items correspond exactly to Title Douluo; if Li Xuan could forge enough Heaven-Shaking Cannons, even a Limit Douluo like Qian Daoliu would give him a chance at battle.

However, considering the craftsmanship and the total materials required, making a Five‑Tier Artifact would not be easy.

Li Xuan then slowly unrolled the Scroll; the half‑meter‑long parchment was densely covered with fly‑head‑sized characters, along with some engraved patterns detailing the component dimensions of the Heaven-Shaking Cannon.

After a while, Li Xuan, looking helpless, rolled the Scroll back up and returned it to the box.

"Sigh… it seems I truly lack any forging talent; I even got confused reading the blueprint," Li Xuan said, covering his forehead helplessly.

Looks like I'll have to stick to Alchemy from now on.

Li Xuan then went to an open area, set up a table, took out the Scrolls from the box one by one, and examined their attributes.

He proceeded to investigate each Scroll's properties one by one, recording their contents.

Soon, all the Scrolls were taken out of the box, totaling thirty‑six Scrolls.

Among them were three Five‑Tier Heaven-Shaking Cannon blueprints—Gravity, Explosion, and Ice—each a weapon capable of killing a Title Douluo.

There were six Fourth‑Tier Heaven-Shaking Cannon blueprints, one of which was a Hand Cannon that could be carried, its power also remarkably formidable.

In addition, there were twelve Third‑Rank Heaven-Shaking Cannon blueprints and fifteen Scrolls on forging the Heaven-Shaking Cannon, with detailed records from material selection to production, and finally maintenance and storage.

"These Scrolls are overly detailed, but what's the use? I'm a complete novice at forging; no matter how detailed, I still can't hammer metal," Li Xuan said, covering his forehead helplessly and sighing.

"However, I do know who on Douluo Continent can forge a Heaven-Shaking Cannon. If I could lure him to Chunqiu Jiuzhuang, the Vermilion Bird District could channel a ley‑line fire, making both Alchemy and forging much easier," Li Xuan thought, his eyes brightening, and he became determined to bring the Divine Blacksmith Lou Gao to his Chunqiu Jiuzhuang.

Gazing at the Scrolls before him, Li Xuan paused, then reordered them and placed them back into the Purple‑Gold Box, which he set on a nearby box not far from the Hot Spring.

Now is not the time to study making the Heaven-Shaking Cannon; Li Xuan needed to quickly condense a Killing Domain and leave the City of Slaughter.

If he could forge the Heaven-Shaking Cannon, Li Xuan's Chunqiu Jiuzhuang would become the safest place on Douluo Continent, so he must find Lou Gao as soon as possible.

After tidying the Medicine Garden and using Green Spirit Liquid to nurture a Soul Nurturing Wood, Li Xuan left the space of the Sky‑Holding Bottle and returned to the Blood Pool.

Sitting cross‑legged on the Lotus Platform, Li Xuan quickly entered cultivation mode, continuously absorbing the energy released from the Blood Pool. (End of Chapter)
