Chapter 1189: A Handy Thing

"Haha, you bunch of idiots, what are you fantasizing about here? This Purple Void Geng Metal was brought by my Brother Que... cough cough, my Brother Que's father. Now he's just taking it out to refine it. You dare to covet it?"

Er Gouzi laughed with a face full of mockery, mocking them with all its might.

It was looking forward to seeing how Xu Que would ruthlessly pit this group of people if they pushed him too far!

However, everyone really didn't trust Er Gouzi's words at all. They couldn't believe that one person could possess so much Purple Void Geng Metal, even if it were someone above an Immortal King. After all, according to ancient records, even the gods of the Divine Era found it difficult to obtain this item. Even obtaining a thumb-sized piece of Purple Void Geng Metal was enough to make several gods fight fiercely to snatch it.

Now that such a large lump of Purple Void Geng Metal was in front of them, if they wanted to believe it was brought by Xu Que, they probably wouldn't believe it even if they were thrown into the Divine Fire and roasted to death!

"Eh, wait, in the aura of that Purple Void Geng Metal, there really seems to be a familiar feeling, as if it comes from Elder Xu..." Suddenly, someone exclaimed in shock, looking at Xu Que.

Vaguely, many people sensed an aura very similar to Xu Que's from that Purple Void Geng Metal. This meant that this Purple Void Geng Metal had been by Xu Que's side for quite a long time; otherwise, it would be impossible to leave his own aura on the Purple Void Geng Metal.

"No way, could it really all be brought by Elder Xu?" Someone exclaimed in shock.

But the vast majority of people present remained silent, even pretending they hadn't heard anything, all staring at that mass of Purple Void Geng Metal with fiery eyes, clearly unwilling to give up and looking for an opportunity or excuse to snatch it by force!

The preciousness of Purple Void Geng Metal was enough to make them not hesitate to offend someone above an Immortal King, and they even felt it would be worth it, not a loss.

"Leader... Leader's father, I'm sorry, I can't hold on much longer, these Divine Fires have gone crazy..." At this moment, Mo Junchen shouted at Xu Que in the air.

He was nearing his limit. Even though he had been full of confidence before, that was based on the premise that the Divine Fire wouldn't go berserk. Now, the Divine Fire seemed to have been stimulated, suddenly becoming so violent that even the temperature and heat were out of control, affecting Mo Junchen's control.

"Protector Mo, no need to persist anymore. Refining it to this extent is already very impressive!" Xu Que replied.

As for the Purple Void Geng Metal he saw now, it had been refined to perfection. Although there was still a lot of room for improvement, this also proved that the Purple Void Geng Metal had full potential and was incredibly precious.

Even if it was refined poorly now, there would still be ways to remedy it in the future!

"Leader's father, it's not that I don't want to stop, but I can't stop anymore! These Divine Fires are burning more and more fiercely. If I force a stop, these Purple Void Geng Metal will be swallowed by the Divine Fire!" Mo Junchen said with a helpless, bitter smile.

He had indeed tried his best. Who would have thought the Divine Fire would suddenly go berserk? Even as a First-Grade Artifact Emperor, he was caught off guard, making him feel a deep sense of powerlessness in front of artifact refining for the first time.

Now, Mo Junchen could control the Purple Void Geng Metal so it wouldn't be destroyed by the Divine Fire, which was already very difficult. But for the subsequent shaping, he really couldn't persist, which was why he sought help from Xu Que.

Xu Que nodded, "Protector Mo, what do you want me to do?"

"No, I want to ask for your opinion. Find an object, let the Purple Void Geng Metal temporarily become an accessory, fuse it on, and it can still become a mid-grade Immortal Artifact. We can refine it again when there is an opportunity in the future, or see if there is any other Artifact Emperor present and let them help, forcibly stop the refining, preserve this Purple Void Geng Metal, store it in the form of metal liquid, and then find an opportunity to shape it in the future!" Mo Junchen said.

Xu Que immediately swept his gaze over the crowd.

Yaochi of the Tianxiang Immortal Realm, Dishou Mountain of the Tianliang Immortal Realm, Shadow Floating Pagoda of the Qisha Immortal Realm, and the Zhou Wang Palace of the Tiantong Immortal Realm!

Would there be an Artifact Emperor traveling with these four major forces?

Xu Que shook his head. Without him needing to ask again, the expressions of the people present already told him the answer. They came out seeking fortune and couldn't possibly carry an Artifact Emperor with them.

"Elder Xu, why don't we all take action together? Perhaps we can preserve a portion of the Purple Void Geng Metal!" At this moment, Bai Cailing spoke up.

"Adults' business, children shouldn't interfere!" Xu Que waved his hand directly.

Just kidding, this Acting Cool Saint has so much Purple Void Geng Metal, and you're telling me I can only preserve a portion? Wouldn't this Acting Cool Saint be at a huge loss this trip?

"This..." Bai Cailing was left in an awkward position by Xu Que's words.

As the dignified Saintess of the Yaochi Holy Land, being called a child by someone was always a loss of face!

Xu Que glanced at her and said indifferently, "Daughter-in-law, there are some things you don't understand. This Purple Void Geng Metal is one of the legacies I left for Xu Que. It might also become a betrothal gift in the future, so it can't be wasted casually."

As soon as these words were spoken, Bai Cailing had a way out. Being called a child by her own father-in-law was logical, but the situation seemed to have become awkward and embarrassing.

This old man was actually hinting that the Purple Void Geng Metal might become a betrothal gift, clearly wanting to entice her to marry Xu Que quickly!

Everyone present also felt something was wrong, their expressions becoming strange. Could this old man really want to swallow it all alone?

"Protector Mo, choose the first option. Temporarily let the Purple Void Geng Metal become an auxiliary material and fuse it!" At the same time, Xu Que also made a choice.

Since there was no Artifact Emperor present, he could only settle for the next best thing and get the mid-grade Immortal Artifact first.

Not to mention that letting the Purple Void Geng Metal become an auxiliary material was no loss to him. He could still refine the Purple Void Geng Metal out in the future without losing a single bit.

"Good, what object should be used as the main artifact?" Mo Junchen shouted immediately.

Xu Que immediately took out the sword possessed by the Sword Spirit. This was a sword at the level of a low-grade Immortal Artifact. With the Sword Spirit possessing it, it was often mistaken for a mid-grade Immortal Artifact, but its real effect was actually not as good as a real mid-grade Immortal Artifact. If the Purple Void Geng Metal could be fused into it, this sword would definitely rise to the level of a mid-grade Immortal Artifact, and the Sword Spirit would also be able to exert greater strength.

However, after taking out the sword, Xu Que suddenly stopped.

Fusing such precious Purple Void Geng Metal onto a low-grade Immortal Artifact sword blade seemed a bit wasteful!

Although there would be ways to strip the Purple Void Geng Metal back in the future, who knew how many years later that would be? Maybe decades or centuries, and by then, this sword might not keep up with his needs.

"Leader... his father, have you decided?" At this moment, Mo Junchen looked at the sword in Xu Que's hand and shouted.

He understood Xu Que's concerns and also knew that fusing Purple Void Geng Metal as an accessory onto a low-grade Immortal Artifact sword blade was indeed a waste of talent. But there was really no other way right now; it was a helpless move!

"Elder Xu, why don't I lend you this item?" Bai Cailing suddenly spoke up, simultaneously taking out a golden wheel, which was actually a mid-grade Immortal Artifact.

Xu Que was stunned for a moment, but still shook his head and smiled, "Good daughter-in-law, no need!"

He had already decided that no matter what Immortal Artifact was used to fuse with the Purple Void Geng Metal, it would be a loss-making business!

But he had an item on him that belonged neither to a Dharma Artifact nor an Immortal Artifact, but a prop, and it was very handy when used.

Using it as the main artifact and fusing the Purple Void Geng Metal as an accessory would definitely be wonderful, and it might even be better to use than directly refining the Purple Void Geng Metal into an Immortal Artifact!

Swoosh!

Immediately, Xu Que waved his hand and took out the black staff.

This was exactly the prop he had opened from the system gift pack back then, a black staff that could ignore various realms and cause people to fall into a coma as long as it hit their head!

This thing had no lethality, but it possessed this heaven-defying effect of knocking people unconscious. However, if the Purple Void Geng Metal was fused onto it, it would seem similar to directly refining the Purple Void Geng Metal into an Immortal Artifact, and it would even have an extra "dizziness" skill!

Thinking of this, Xu Que couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth!
