Chapter 630: The Supreme Elder's Kindness Can Never Be Repaid
As expected, Huo Yuhao was indeed very interested in the Purple Radiance Annihilation Dragon's blood.
As for the other rare alchemy materials, to Xu Tianran, they were not of much significance.
"All the rare materials for alchemy are inside," Xu Tianran said as he removed a silver storage ring from his finger and handed it to Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao accepted the ring, exchanged a few more words with Xu Tianran, and then left the palace.
After leaving, he immediately returned to the academy, opened the Gate of the Undead, and entered the Undead Subspace to examine the materials that Xu Tianran had given him.
Soon, he retrieved all the rare alchemy materials from the storage ring.
Using his divine sense, he scanned the items, discovering that aside from a one-meter-tall silver-white furnace, the other materials were relatively "common."
Of course, "common" was only from Huo Yuhao's perspective having seen immortal herbs, his standards were exceptionally high.
To other alchemists, these materials were undoubtedly rare treasures.
However, the silver-white furnace was particularly intriguing.
Even when scanning it with divine sense, Huo Yuhao felt a faint sense of pressure as his awareness passed over it.
Inside the furnace, half a cauldron of dark purple blood continuously emitted a destructive aura.
Faintly, Huo Yuhao could even hear dragon roars echoing in his ears.
Clearly, this was the Purple Radiance Annihilation Dragon's blood.
"Could this furnace be a divine artifact? And the Sun-Moon Royal Family didn't recognize its value?" Huo Yuhao was surprised.
His divine sense, while not as strong as a true god's, was still leagues above spiritual power.
For an object to exert even the slightest pressure on his divine sense, it had to be a divine artifact.
"Teacher, come take a look at this furnace. I think it might be a divine artifact," Huo Yuhao called out.
When it came to divine artifacts, Electrolux was far more experienced than he was.
After all, Electrolux had personally forged divine artifacts before and was an expert in the field.
Having him assess the furnace would be a wise decision.
A moment later, Electrolux materialized, carefully examining the furnace before making his judgment.
"Yuhao, you're correct this is indeed a divine artifact.
However, it seems to be damaged, which is why its full power cannot be unleashed.
If it were repaired, it could restore its former might.
Fortunately, I have experience in repairing divine artifacts, so leave this to me."
"Teacher, can you infuse the Purple Radiance Annihilation Dragon's blood into the furnace and imbue it with a destructive attribute?
Since this is the blood of such a powerful being, shouldn't it be usable for divine artifact forging?" Huo Yuhao asked.
He had no interest in using the blood as an alchemy material.
After all, the Creation-Rebirth Pill he had refined previously was based on a formula from the Book of Poisons.
At present, he had no pill formulas that required dragon blood.
Developing a new pill recipe would require extensive trial and error, which would be time-consuming.
He already had the Creation-Rebirth Pill, so there was no need to waste time and effort experimenting with dragon blood in alchemy.
Electrolux nodded.
"The blood of powerful creatures can indeed be used in artifact forging.
Although the divine artifacts of this world differ from those of my original world, there are still many similarities.
Here's what we'll do instead of repairing the furnace, we'll completely reforge it into a new divine artifact.
I will make every effort to infuse it with the destructive power of the Purple Radiance Annihilation Dragon's blood."
Having studied the Goddess of Love's divine artifact for some time, Electrolux had already gained considerable insight into this world's artifact crafting methods.
He was confident that he could reconstruct the silver-white furnace into a brand-new divine artifact.
Night fell.
The moon hung high in the sky, casting its cold light over the ocean.
Winds howled as waves churned, shimmering under the pale glow.
Even the moon's reflection on the water shattered instantly with each ripple.
Floating icebergs and ice floes drifted lazily across the icy sea.
This place was known as the Frozen Sea, located near the Extreme North.
It was a forbidden zone for human fleets.
Any human who entered these waters would have to face the powerful sea soul beasts that thrived in this frigid climate.
For most soul masters and soul engineers, this was an immense challenge.
The sea soul beasts in this region were not a scattered, disorganized force.
They were all loyal followers of a single ruler the Sea Princess.
As long as she gave the order, the sea soul beasts would obey without question.
The Sea Princess, in truth, was the leader of the Mermaid Clan.
At this moment, three sinister figures streaked through the sky, enveloped in a dark aura.
They were Scorpion-Tiger Douluo Zhang Peng, Ten Thousand Souls Douluo, and Hatred Douluo.
A soul tool barrier enveloped them, shielding them from the cold winds while providing both soundproofing and defensive capabilities.
Zhang Peng frowned.
"Ten Thousand Souls, Hatred, are you sure the Sea Princess Clan is here?
Would they really live in a forsaken place like this?"
Ten Thousand Souls Douluo grinned wickedly.
"Zhang Peng, have we ever lied to you?
Previously, when we were collecting soul beast wraiths for the Supreme Elder, we ventured far and wide and discovered the Sea Princess Clan here.
However, since this is their domain, we weren't confident in capturing all of them.
That's why we called you here to ensure we can wipe them out completely.
With the three of us, a mere Sea Princess Clan is nothing to fear.
Besides, don't you love using soul beast blood and spirits to enhance your cultivation?
There are plenty of sea soul beasts here to satisfy your appetite."
"Exactly, Zhang Peng!
Look at us we always think of you first when there's an opportunity!
The strongest Sea Princess will be yours to handle!" Hatred Douluo added.
Currently, the Holy Spirit Cult had not yet sent reinforcements to aid the Sun-Moon Empire in its war.
As a result, many evil soul masters were relatively free.
As for the strange mission issued by the Holy Spirit Cult's leader which involved secretly assisting the Asura God's successor in building a reputation not every evil soul master was assigned to it.
At least, these three had not received such orders.
Zhang Peng sneered, a sinister glint flashing in his eyes.
"Hmph! Fine, I'll put in the effort.
But when the slaughter is over, I take the biggest share!"
Ten Thousand Souls Douluo's expression turned serious as he spoke in a righteous tone:
"Zhang Peng, how could you be so selfish?
The biggest share should go to the Supreme Elder!
The Supreme Elder is the strongest being in our cult and has always protected us.
We owe him a debt of gratitude that can never be repaid!"
Zhang Peng scoffed.
"Ten Thousand Souls!
It's just the three of us here. Why bother pretending?
Do you really think the Supreme Elder will know exactly how much we took from the Frozen Sea?
We've done so much for the Holy Spirit Cult it's only right that we secure some benefits for ourselves.
If you weren't willing to be self-serving, you wouldn't be an evil soul master in the first place!"
Ten Thousand Souls Douluo smirked.
"Haha, Zhang Peng, you're bold.
Fine you can take the biggest share.
But we must reserve some wraiths for the Supreme Elder.
We can't return completely empty-handed that would be disgraceful."
His earlier righteous speech had merely been a test.
After all, if Zhang Peng refused to take his share, how could they take theirs?
