Chapter 1906 1.1905 First transform the Five Elements, then forge the divine weapon
“It might be worth a try.” After thinking it over, “Fairy Maiden of Bliss” Ximen Rou nodded cautiously, “However, the risk is extremely high. If we are not careful, everything will be over.”
“In that case, we can postpone our actions.” Right Protector Xiahou Ying comforted everyone, “For the sake of safety, we should first strengthen the Demon Hunting Sect and hold the Shizipo.”
"Sister Ying is absolutely right." This was exactly what "Fairy of Bliss" Ximen Rou wanted to do. Taking risks and making dangerous moves was not her forte.
Just then, Wei Shi Yueji, the owner of Qianlongfang, arrived to meet them, carrying the golden-scaled python robe that she had tailored for the Right Protector Xiahou Ying.
"Moon Princess has lived up to expectations. This Golden Scale Battle Robe is impervious to swords and spears, water and fire, and repels all poisons. It can rival my Thousand Dragon Robe."
"The Thousand Dragon Robe was sewn from the armpit fur of a thousand-headed fox demon; how could it compare to the Golden Scale Python Robe?" Princess's strategist, Li Huixin, laughed and said, "Sister Yueji is too modest."
The owner of Qianlongfang, Wei Shi Yueji, laughed and said, "The value of the Qianlong Fur is that it is as light as a feather, and it is specially made to protect a woman from the wind and rain. How can it be compared with the Golden Scale Battle Robe, which has been through countless battles and is invincible?"
The armor is heavy, making it unsuitable for even the most delicate women. Its protective capabilities are naturally superior. Simply put, the Thousand Dragon Fur Robe is suitable for ranged sorcerers, while the Golden Scale Python Robe is best suited for melee warriors.
Speaking of the Golden Scale Python Robe, Wei Shi Yueji, the owner of Qianlong Workshop, said, "Today, two new snake spirit sisters came to the clothing workshop looking for someone. They are none other than the embroiderer A Xue (Lin Xiangyi)'s past life partner."
"The embroiderer, Ah Xue, was the 'White Snake Spirit' in her previous life." Princess's strategist, Li Huixin, knew the inside story: "After entering the painted wall, she fed her 3000 years of inner core cultivation to a 'golden and silver python,' and transformed herself into a human, taking the name 'Ah Xue.' People called her 'Snow Maiden.' The golden and silver python obtained the 3000-year demon core, greatly increasing its cultivation. It transformed into a great demon in the world. It was killed by Sister Ying while she was hunting in the wild recently, and its 3000-year demon core was refined into a five-element inner core."
The "Fairy Maiden of Bliss" Ximen Rou must have asked this question: "Why was a 3000-year-old demon core only refined into a Five Elements Inner Core?"
"To put it simply, it takes 5000 years for a demon core to be refined into the Seven Treasures Golden Pill." Princess's strategist, Li Huixin, answered briefly: "This is because the demonic energy must be removed before the 'Heavenly Stems combine to transform into the Five Elements' can be refined into the Five Elements Inner Pill. The spiritual power is lost by nearly half (40%), hence the need for a 5000-year-old demon core."
"I see." It's understandable that "Fairy Maiden of Bliss" Ximen Rou, who hadn't witnessed it firsthand, didn't know the details of the alchemy process.
Then Wei Shi Yueji, the owner of Qianlongfang, realized: "So, the husband that the black snake spirit is looking for is the embroiderer A Xue?"
“Exactly.” Princess’s strategist Li Huixin nodded slightly: “The best course of action now is to persuade the two of them to work for the Demon Hunting Sect.”
The owner of Qianlongfang, Wei Shi Yueji, immediately replied: "Just imitate A Xue and spit out the demon core, and you can transform into a human form."
"The Blissful Fairy Maiden" Ximen Rou shook her head and said, "No, no. Spitting out the demon core makes her no different from an ordinary person. How can a weak woman fight on the battlefield?"
"If our lord were to bestow upon us the 'Seven-Treasured Lotus,' our worries would be easily resolved." To avoid being overheard, Princess's strategist, Li Huixin, dared not utter a word about "a sip from the secret realm."
"A mechanical demon, perhaps?" Right Protector Xiahou Ying suddenly asked. At this point, they had no choice but to take the risk.
Ximen Rou, the "Fairy of Bliss," also had this thought: "As mentioned before, it might be worth a try. However, the embedded demon core needs the power of the five elements to neutralize the demonic energy. Only then can the spirit not be devoured by the demon core and become a demon puppet."
"In that case, let's summon the snake spirit sisters to the sword-forging furnace." Right Protector Xiahou Ying immediately made up his mind.
"Yes, ma'am." The goddess Yixin accepted the order and left.
In the main hall of Jia Yuan Temple, at the sword-casting furnace, the goddess Yi Xin led her snake spirit sisters to meet them.
"So you are Xiahou Ying, who killed the White Snake, skinned her, pulled out her tendons, and stole her inner core?" As the saying goes, "Enemies meeting are bound to be filled with hatred." The Black Snake Demon had waited so long, eager to avenge her enemy and avenge the White Snake.
"Don't move, Nong Nong!" the White Snake Spirit Ah Xue called out to stop her, "Let's see who I am."
"Husband...?" Upon seeing the illusory white snake image that materialized behind him, the black snake spirit Nongnong finally realized. The person she was searching for was both so close and so far away.
"It is I," the White Snake Spirit Ah Xue sighed. "It is not that I am heartless, but fate is cruel."
"Why has my husband fallen to this state?" The black snake spirit felt a deep sorrow welling up in her heart.
"This painted wall contains its own universe, isolated from the outside world. Whether it brings fortune or misfortune, whether one is human or demon, depends entirely on the old monk's worn-out brush. The Buddha said: 'To give is to receive, and without giving is no gain.' Therefore, I sacrificed a thousand years of cultivation to become a human through painting. Now that you have entered the painted wall, you must know the way of choosing. Otherwise, after forty-nine days, you will be returned to your original form and never be able to rise again. From then on, there will be no possibility of ever becoming a human again." The White Snake Spirit, Ah Xue, revealed the secret of the painted wall world in a single sentence.
"If that's the case, then what about these people before us?" The Black Serpent Demon's vigilance remained undiminished as she looked at the group of people in the Demon Hunting Sect.
"These masters all possess magical treasures, so they are unmoved by the bald brush," the White Snake Spirit Ah Xue said urgently. "If you don't believe me, just wait and see."
Looking around, one could see Right Protector Xiahou Ying brandishing the Dugu Nine Swords, Left Protector Sai Xiaojing brandishing the Jia Yuan Divine Axe, and Sword-Forging Elder Honghua brandishing the Wu Hook. Western Region Elder Wei Shi Yueji brandished the Demon-Suppressing Seal. Blissful Elder Ximen Rou brandished the Chastity Armor.
"And me." Elder Gu Xianniang of Huitian Pavilion arrived upon hearing the news, revealing her magical artifact, the "Sparrow Feather Fan." This was the token used to persuade Elder Gu Xianniang of Huitian Pavilion to join their ranks. It was personally crafted by Elder Hong, the Sword Forging Elder. With this artifact, Elder Gu Xianniang of Huitian Pavilion swept away the demonic energy in the Painted Wall Realm and began anew. Thus, she moved the entire Huitian Pavilion to Shizipo and joined the Demon Hunting Sect, becoming one of the four elders.
As for Princess's strategist Li Huixin, the "wish-fulfilling pearl" in her hand was a gift from the sword-making elder Honghua: "You two should know that only a magic weapon can withstand the old monk's bald brush 'making things worse the more it's drawn'."
"Only by embedding the Five Elements Inner Cores into the weapon can a magical treasure be forged." Elder Honghua, the sword-forging elder, continued to explain to the snake spirit sisters: "Axue's Inner Core has been retrieved. As long as it is refined into a magical treasure, the stain of her painted skin can be removed."
"How is the inner core refined into a magic weapon?" Upon hearing that her husband still had a chance, the black snake spirit Nongnong hurriedly asked.
"Look." Elder Honghua pointed to the sword-forging furnace: "This furnace was used by Nuwa to mend the sky. Although the five-colored stone in the furnace is no longer able to mend the sky, it is a great waste to forge divine weapons."
"The five-colored stone is inlaid with the five elements' inner elixir." How could the black snake spirit not realize: "The five colors correspond to the five elements."
The Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic records that the five colors (green, red, yellow, white, and black) correspond to the five elements (wood, fire, earth, metal, and water).
Simply put, any divine weapon forged using this furnace can be perfectly matched with the Five Elements Inner Elixir, and then a magical treasure can be forged to resist the Painted Skin of the Bald Brush.
In fact, what is called "painted skin" is actually what players in the city call "skin modules".
The Elder Scrolls series is undoubtedly the culmination of all other games. Even in the Resident Evil series, which players jokingly call the "kidney crisis," what outfit Aunt Wang wears to fight enemies is entirely up to the player's whim.
With this thought in mind, the black snake demon opened her thick, embroidered mouth and spat out her demon core, which she had cultivated for 3000 years: "How should we proceed?"
"We must first transform the five elements, then forge the divine weapon," Elder Honghua, the sword-forging elder, declared firmly.
