Chapter 299: with translation of chapter title

Wang Ping'an could see that Hu Rui was deliberately changing the subject; it seemed there was something embarrassing for Hu Rui in this matter, so he didn't ask further, and replied:

"I came this time to see whether Third Miss, you still have tiger demon skins for sale!"

He couldn't help feeling a bit disappointed deep down; he simply couldn't forget the large amount of Merit he gained from performing Soul Salvation on the killer of the Netherworld Organization after slaying them.

Although all this might just be a coincidence, performing Soul Salvation again on the killer of the Netherworld Organization does not necessarily earn his heartfelt gratitude again.

Not long ago.

The cultivator who sneaked up to capture his Hei Mao Bu Tou after the Netherworld Organization's killer is an example.

After all, sending someone to report to the Yama King, even if one can perform Soul Salvation on them, reducing their sins, nine out of ten will not feel grateful but will instead bear him a grudge.

Who, while alive, would willingly go to die?

However.

Merely slaying the killer of the Netherworld Organization, the Merit obtained is still greater than that of an ordinary cultivator.

Even if he cannot obtain Merit from Soul Salvation, merely slaying the killer of the Netherworld Organization still allows him to earn a large amount of Merit.

Unexpectedly.

He had just gained an advantage, but the good thing disappeared just like that; he still felt somewhat disappointed.

"Daoist Li, look at what you're saying; our Nine-headed Mountain Fox Clan's guild may not be a major guild, but in this surrounding area we are certainly among the top; not to mention tiger demon skins, even other monster beast pelts we have here!"

Hu Rui's face showed utter arrogance; as soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly realized and exclaimed in surprise: "Daoist Li, you've come again to buy tiger demon skins; could it be that you failed in refining the Small Five Elements Sword Formation diagram, ruining that piece of tiger demon skin, and now you intend to buy another to remake it?"

Wang Ping'an glanced at Hu Rui in surprise; looking at her like this, it seemed to be something that happened yesterday at the Wang Family, and she had no source of information—neither Hu Jianbo nor Hu Meiniang had told her.

Otherwise.

She wouldn't have asked such a question!

Wang Ping'an said solemnly: "That's not the case; I have successfully refined both the Small Five Elements Sword Formation diagram and formation base, and even successfully set up the Small Five Elements Sword Formation."

Unfortunately, this Small Five Elements Sword Formation still lacks a bit; even if I exert its extraordinary power, I cannot harm the enemy, and can only barely wound them by self-detonation.

This is not.

After self-detonation, both the Small Five Elements Sword Formation diagram and formation base are damaged; the formation base still has a lot of leftover materials, whereas the formation diagram only has one piece of tiger demon skin.

"Daoist Li, you are truly formidable!"

Hu Rui gave a compliment, but she didn't take Wang Ping'an's words seriously; to enable the Small Five Elements Sword Formation to self-detonate, it cannot be said that only a formation grandmaster can do it; at least one must have Mastery of the Small Five Elements Sword Formation for ten or eight years, or even longer, as a formation master.

After all.

Formation self-detonation is not a simple matter.

Not to mention that Wang Ping'an only purchased the Small Five Elements Sword Formation from here, and it hasn't even been ten days or half a month; moreover, what he bought was not the full set of the Small Five Elements Sword Formation, but its raw materials.

Whether it is the Small Five Elements Sword Formation diagram or formation base, one must refine them oneself.

How little time has passed? In the path of refining, what skill does he have? I don't know, but I believe that even if Wang Ping'an were a refining grandmaster, he would still need a considerable amount of time—not just three or five months, but at least seven or eight days—to familiarize himself with the refining methods of the Small Five Elements Sword Formation diagram and formation base.

Afterward.

Only then would he attempt to refine the Small Five Elements Sword Formation diagram and formation base; the first attempt at refinement could not succeed immediately, and he would still need to fail several times.

Even if Wang Ping'an's skill in the path of refining were superb, he would still need three to five months to successfully refine a complete set of the Small Five Elements Sword Formation diagram and formation base.

But in just two or three days, how could Wang Ping'an possibly succeed in refining a complete set of the Small Five Elements Sword Formation diagram and formation base, still manage to set it up, and even cause the Small Five Elements Sword Formation to self-detonate?

Each matter is already outrageous, let alone combining them and completing them in such a short time, which is nearly impossible.

"It seems this Daoist Li wants to save face; otherwise he wouldn't utter such outrageous words!"

Hu Rui secretly chuckled.

Wang Ping'an's earlier words, she doesn't believe a single punctuation mark of them; it must be that Wang Ping'an, on the path of refining, perhaps has some skill, but does not take the refining of the Small Five Elements Sword Formation diagram and formation base seriously.

After casually familiarizing herself with it once, she began attempting to refine the Small Five Elements Sword Formation diagram and formation base.

She does not know whether the Small Five Elements Sword Formation formation base was successfully refined or failed, but she knows that the Small Five Elements Sword Formation formation diagram definitely failed, and it is not an ordinary failure.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to destroy the tiger demon skin!

Wang Ping'an naturally knows that a guild like the Nine-headed Mountain Fox Clan's guild could possibly lack tiger demon skins; he sent a embarrassed mental transmission:

"Third Miss, you know my situation; I owe you a huge debt, I have no extra money or possessions, I can't come up with extra spirit stones—do you think buying two tiger demon skins from you can continue on credit?"

"Of course there's no problem!"

Hu Rui smiled.

When Wang Ping'an asked whether there were still tiger demon skins here, she had already guessed that he might continue buying on credit.

She thinks highly of Wang Ping'an; otherwise she would not have allowed him to buy the Small Five Elements Sword Formation on credit initially.

Not to mention two tiger demon skins, even ten...

Wait, two tiger demon skins?

Hu Rui asked doubtfully: "Daoist Li, how did you come up with the idea of buying two tiger demon skins? Are you afraid that continuing to refine the Small Five Elements Sword Formation diagram might fail again, so buying an extra piece of tiger demon skin would serve as insurance?"

Wang Ping'an did not explain again; he had never failed, whether refining the Small Five Elements Sword Formation formation base or diagram, both were successful—something Hu Rui had never witnessed herself, nor had Hu Jianbo or Hu Meiniang told her.

She would not believe this!

"Third Miss, I bought two tiger demon skins because I want to refine two sets of the Small Five Elements Sword Formation; who let Third Miss you prepare the formation base materials for the Small Five Elements Sword Formation, which are not just plentiful—let alone refining three sets, even five sets would be more than enough."

"Daoist Li, you're quite ambitious!"

Hu Rui's mouth corner twitched slightly, but she didn't point it out; after all, she could see that Wang Ping'an was a face-conscious cultivator, so she changed the subject: "Daoist Li, wait here; I'll go get the tiger demon skins for you right away!"

She rose to her feet.

Before Hu Rui had taken a few steps, she seemed to think of something; her body halted, she turned her head to look at Wang Ping'an, and said solemnly: "Daoist Li, the tiger demon skins I have here come in two grades: one is Qi Refining Ninth Level tiger demon skin, the other is Foundation Establishment Early Stage tiger demon skin; I don't know which you need."
