Chapter 421

The black-robed man shook his head and said: "I am not an Insect Armor Master; I am a Fourth-Grade Artifact Refiner."

"I am going to the Huiyue Empire to participate in the Western Region Artifact Refining Competition. Originally, this Western Region Artifact Refining Competition was full of monsters, and I had no confidence at all."

"But if I have the help of this kind of metal, I feel that the championship of this artifact refining competition is stable."

The black-robed man clenched his fists, held his head high, and revealed a look of strong confidence.

Hearing this, Long Xuan's expression became strange.

Him? He still wants to win the championship of the Western Region Artifact Refining Competition?

This guy is not a human; there is a very high probability that it is a transformed spirit beast.

It is already inconceivable for a transformed spirit beast to learn human artifact refining techniques, and it actually dares to claim that it wants to win the championship of the artifact refining competition and crush all human artifact refiners. What a big tone.

No matter how Long Xuan looked at it, he felt it was weird. Could a spirit beast's artifact refining talent be stronger than a human's? He truly found it hard to believe.

Having been running the insect armor shop business, with people coming and going, his news was quite well-informed. He knew about the ten nations led by the Huiyue Empire holding the Western Region Artifact Refining Competition.

This Western Region Artifact Refining Competition was on the same scale as the Alchemy Competition half a year ago, almost gathering all the artifact refiners in the entire Western Region. Many people in the Sinful City had already set off in advance to watch the fun.

Not only that, he also heard that after the Western Region Artifact Refining Competition, there would be a Western Region Array Competition, a Western Region Talisman Making Competition, and even more astonishingly, a Western Region Insect Armor Master Competition.

It simply startled him. Since when did the things he messed around with become worthy of many forces mobilizing to hold a competition covering the entire Western Region?

With the Heavenly Mechanism Eye to shrink array patterns, array patterns, and talisman patterns, he felt it was unreasonable if he didn't win the championship in these competitions.

But after thinking about it, Long Xuan felt it was better to forget it. Let the opportunity to perform be given to the young people. He shouldn't go and pretend to be cool. Pretending to be cool will get you struck by lightning.

"Do you mean you intend to melt one of the shop's treasures to refine artifacts?"

Long Xuan's eyebrows couldn't help but twitch. These alloy insect armors were all his painstaking efforts. This spirit beast actually intended to melt them to refine artifacts. It was truly a waste of heaven's gifts.

The black-robed man shook his head and smiled: "You misunderstood. I don't want one of your shop's treasures; I want all of your shop's treasures."

Hearing this, Long Xuan developed a sense of vigilance. Could it be that this spirit beast had developed the idea of snatching by force?

The Sinful City had a rule prohibiting killing and snatching treasures. Even a peak Gu King could not violate it. The key was that this guy was a spirit beast that didn't understand education; how could it care about human rules?

Just when Long Xuan was letting his imagination run wild, the black-robed man took out a pile of spirit fruits from his storage ring and placed them on the table, laughing loudly: "Aren't you looking for Fire Spirit Fruit, Ice Spirit Fruit, and Wood Spirit Fruit?"

"I happen to have all three kinds of spirit fruits. I'll take these three shop treasures."

Saying this, the black-robed man grabbed an insect armor with one hand, stroked it lovingly, and revealed an excited smile on his face.

Long Xuan's expression froze instantly. It was not his fault for misunderstanding. He had used half a year to collect these three kinds of spirit fruits without collecting even one kind. Even if he were beaten to death, he would never have thought that this person... no, this beast actually had all three kinds at the same time.

What exactly is the background of this spirit beast to be so wealthy? Could it be that it is a beast king of a forest?

It's just that this spirit beast's brain is not very good. He didn't specify the quantity of these three kinds of spirit fruits, which meant that he only needed one of each.

This silly spirit beast actually gave him a pile of each. Sure enough, spirit beasts are spirit beasts; they are indeed not as smart as humans.

Long Xuan was afraid that it would go back on its word, so he immediately walked over and collected all the spirit fruits on the table.

Each spirit fruit was fresh and seemed to have been picked not long ago. If he shaved off the fruit flesh and threw the fruit seeds onto the three attribute floating islands, maybe he could have three more kinds of heaven-grade spirit fruit trees.

"Not bad! Not bad! This kind of metal is truly not bad."

The black-robed man grabbed the three insect armors hard. After not seeing any traces, he burst into loud laughter: "I'm leaving! If you can find this kind of metal again, go to the Artifact Sect in the Huiyue Empire to find me. I will buy it at a high price."

"To tell you the truth, I have Gold Spirit Fruit, Water Spirit Fruit, Earth Spirit Fruit, Wind Spirit Fruit, and Thunder Spirit Fruit on hand, and some are not just a little bit."

Saying this, the black-robed man left with the three alloy insect armors.

On the street, seeing someone trade away the three treasures of Master Song's Insect Armor Shop, many Demon cultivators flickered their eyes, revealing looks of greed, and slowly followed behind.

This spirit beast was stroking the insect armor lovingly in its hand. Not long after, it was followed by a group of people with evil intentions.

Long Xuan looked and shook his head, not knowing whether to worry about this spirit beast's IQ or to mourn for the group of Demon cultivators behind it.

They didn't know yet what kind of character they were robbing.

"Never expected this spirit beast to have a sect. I thought its artifact refining technique was stolen. Which talent dared to accept a spirit beast as a disciple?"

Long Xuan's eyes flickered, revealing a look of contemplation.

"Since this spirit beast can see the secret of the insect armor, it cannot be ruled out that others can see it too."

"It seems this insect armor shop cannot be opened anymore. Since the last three materials for the Great Thousand Wine have been collected, then Master Song's Insect Armor Shop will be permanently closed, and the Master Song vest will disappear forever."

Long Xuan made a decision in his heart, closed the shop door, collected everything in the shop into his storage ring, and left through the Straw Gu Hut.

Not long after he left through the Straw Gu Hut, the Straw Gu Hut was burned to ashes by a timed fire...

Time passed leisurely, and another three months went by.

On this day, it was the day the Great Thousand Wine was brewed.

On the main island, Long Xuan lifted the lid of a wine jar. Immediately, the rich wine fragrance drifted out, and soon filled this space. Sniffing the wine fragrance, he revealed a look of intoxication.

"Is this the Great Thousand Wine brewed from World Tree fruits? This wine fragrance is indeed strong, making one want to get drunk just by sniffing it. What if I drink a mouthful? What if I distill it again?"

Long Xuan revealed a smile. Unable to hold back any longer, he scooped a little wine with a ladle, poured half a cup into a wine glass, took a deep breath, raised the cup, and drank it in one gulp.

The Great Thousand Wine entered his belly. The mellow fragrance of the wine flowed from the tip of his tongue into his throat, and then from his throat into his stomach. In an instant, his entire body felt warm.

After drinking a cup of wine, he only felt extremely refreshed all over, his soul almost floating out of his body, floating like an immortal.

The Great Thousand Wine lingered in his tongue and throat, its mellow fragrance making him have endless aftertastes. This was the most delicious cup of wine he had ever drunk so far, none other.

Long Xuan forcibly resisted the urge to drink another cup. This wine, even if not distilled, was not generally strong. Drinking half a cup was already his limit.

The huge energy contained in the World Tree fruits was all hidden in this strong wine. Even if he only drank half a cup, Long Xuan had a feeling that he was about to be burst.

How could he dare to be greedy for the cup? He immediately closed his eyes and fully refined the medicinal power flowing into his body.

The more heaven-defying the fine wine, the more heaven-defying its efficacy. It is definitely not just to satisfy the appetite. The World Tree is so heaven-defying; how could the wine brewed from World Tree fruits be ordinary?

In the process of refining the huge medicinal power, Long Xuan finally understood the special efficacy of the Great Thousand Wine.

People who drink Great Thousand Wine can awaken the Fire Spirit Body, Ice Spirit Body, and Wood Spirit Body.

But there may be certain requirements in quantity. The wine capacity must be large. One drop or two drops won't do, and half a cup won't do either, as the awakening will fail due to insufficient medicinal power.

Fine wine that can awaken special physiques is truly heaven-defying. Long Xuan's eyes released burning essence, and his breathing was a bit rapid. This Great Thousand Wine truly didn't let him down.

It's just a pity that the Ten Extremes Body, as the world's number one odd body, rejects any weak physique. He could only satisfy his appetite after drinking the Great Thousand Wine, and it had no effect. This large jar of Great Thousand Wine could only be cheap for Little White.

How much Great Thousand Wine can be brewed from three World Tree fruits? After Little White drinks the Great Thousand Wine and completes its transformation, this Great Thousand Wine probably won't have a few drops left for him.

Long Xuan revealed a bitter smile.

Since the Great Thousand Wine had been brewed, the next step was to distill the Great Thousand Wine.

Long Xuan took out the distillation tools and began to distill the Great Thousand Wine himself.

After a while, the Great Thousand Wine was finally distilled.

The distilled Great Thousand Wine was concentrated to the extreme, and the wine fragrance was several times stronger than before. Even if he sniffed it, he had the urge to get drunk.

Long Xuan blushed. To avoid getting drunk, he pinched his nose tightly, looked at the Great Thousand Wine that had shrunk seriously in the wine jar, and felt great pain.

The Great Thousand Wine was already small, and after being distilled, there weren't many drops left. He didn't know if this Great Thousand Wine was enough for Little White's transformation.

He didn't hesitate anymore and finally pulled Little White, who was sleeping soundly in the insect breeding bag, out and threw it directly into the wine jar.

Little White fell into the wine jar and finally woke up from its dream.

It subconsciously fluttered, and the wine liquid inevitably entered its mouth. Feeling the extreme wine fragrance in its tongue and throat, its eyes immediately shone, as if it had seen a new world.

This was the peerless fine wine it had never drunk in its life, and it was the best wine it had ever drunk so far, none other.

Even the distilled sweet-sour-bitter-spicy four-flavor wine it had drunk before could not be compared with this kind of wine at all.

Wine Gu is addicted to wine. Seeing such fine wine appear in front of it, Little White was immediately excited and immediately began to drink to its heart's content.

Not long after, I don't know how many sips it took, it closed its eyes, flipped its white belly, and floated on the wine surface.

Good fellow, this Wine Gu, which is known as never getting drunk, actually got drunk and passed out again at this time.

How many times has this been? Wine Gu is known as having the world's number one wine capacity and is a creature that will never get drunk.

Yet this Wine Gu actually got drunk repeatedly in his hands. It's simply shameful; it's nothing.

Long Xuan hated that it didn't live up to his expectations, closed the lid of the wine jar, and let it soak inside.

At this moment, the Great Thousand Wine was successfully brewed, and the matter of the Wine Gu's transformation had also been solved. Long Xuan finally calmed down and rarely cultivated once.

There was less than half a year before the Tea Tasting Assembly and Wine Tasting Assembly of the Huiyue Empire would begin.

After the wine party and tea party, the River God Secret Realm would be opened. I don't know how many Gu Kings who had dropped their realms would flock into the secret realm. His Spirit Sea mid-stage realm was still too low and not enough to look at in front of that group of Gu Kings.

Even if a group of Gu Kings dropped their realms in the secret realm, they would still be at the Spirit Sea peak. Facing this group of powerhouses, he would only have a guarantee if he broke through to the Spirit Sea late-stage.

Fighting across two ranks is not very safe. He still has a certain degree of confidence in fighting across only one rank, at least he can guarantee not to lose.

His primary task now is to break through to the Spirit Sea late-stage before the Tea Tasting Assembly and Wine Tasting Assembly.

Time is urgent. He, the main body who never cultivated, rarely joined in the cultivation...
