Chapter 528-2: Extreme Evil Mind Reading, Stone Treasure Molybdenum Gold (2)
[Seeing it suffer humiliation, the old scripture master’s attitude toward you becomes increasingly kind. He deliberately says loudly, Many scripture masters spend their days researching Buddhist Dharma and scriptures, and from them have comprehended all kinds of great divine arts.]
[He has three kinds of divine arts here, and you may choose one to study. If you have any doubts in your heart, you may also have him answer and explain.]
[The three divine arts taught by the old scripture master are Heavenly Eye, Divine Foot, and Mind Reading.]
[Extreme Evil Heavenly Eye (Special Skill): After learning this skill, you can illuminate and see the forms of life, death, suffering, and joy of all beings in the three realms and six paths, and illuminate and see all forms and colors in the world without obstruction. Your probability of discovering hidden items and hidden regions will greatly increase.]
[Extreme Evil Divine Foot (Special Skill): After learning this skill, your body will have wish-fulfilling passage, moving freely and unobstructed. You will have the ability to appear as you wish. Your Shell movement speed will unconditionally increase by 20% (including flight speed).]
[Extreme Evil Mind Reading (Special Skill): After learning this skill, you can know what all beings in the three realms and six paths think in their hearts, and hear the words and feelings spoken within the hearts of the masses of living beings. When communicating with any plot character, you will obtain a partial favorability bonus.]
[At this moment, the White Elephant Demon outside the door suddenly sends a voice transmission…]
[Junior brother, the divine arts taught by this old scripture master are not like ordinary six powers, but have some special aspects…]
[How strange. How did these ordinary mortals research such special divine arts? Could it be our Bodhisattva’s contribution?]
Lin Xun curled his lips. Perhaps the hellish game also deserved some credit among this.
Facing the choice of one out of three, he decisively chose the final option, Mind Reading.
The first, Heavenly Eye, was not very useful for him, who had Analysis Authority. Analysis Authority could completely replace its role.
As for the second option, Divine Foot, it was also dispensable to him.
[The old scripture master raises his hand and performs empowerment upon you…]
[You have learned the Special Skill Extreme Evil Mind Reading!]
[You do not know whether it is your misconception, or whether the old scripture master is doing this to anger the White Elephant Demon, but after you learn Extreme Evil Mind Reading, the old scripture master’s attitude toward you becomes increasingly amiable.]
[He puts on the bearing of a teacher and states that if you have any doubts regarding your lessons, you may ask him.]
[Hearing this, your eyebrows lift, and you cannot help thinking of Stone Treasure Valley outside the city. This old scripture master has been in Luoyi for many years, so perhaps he knows some information or clues.]
[After you ask the doubt in your heart, the old scripture master frowns and says, You foolish monk, I told you to ask doubts regarding lessons. Why are you asking about something so unrelated!]
[Outside the door, the White Elephant Demon gives a mocking laugh and says, If you don’t know, then say you don’t know. Why pretend to be some big shot!]
[The old scripture master’s brows rise angrily as he says loudly, Stop making noise there. There is still nothing in this Luoyi City that I do not know!]
[Stone Treasure Valley, three hundred li south of the city, produces Stone Treasure Molybdenum Gold, which is a famous and precious mineral. If it is forged into weapons using a secret method, it can display boundless power.]
[After the Martial Emperor learned of this matter, he dispatched ten thousand Fire-Worship troops to garrison Stone Treasure Valley and used corvee labor from the people of Luoyi City and more than ten surrounding villages and counties to mine the mineral vein with all their strength. It took three years to dig the mineral vein completely clean.]
[This matter happened several decades ago. He has not yet grown senile, so how could he not know!]
[Seeing this, you quickly continue asking, Stone Treasure Valley has now been dug completely clean, so does Master know where Stone Treasure Molybdenum Gold can still be obtained?]
[The old scripture master answers without thinking, I don’t know… cough, of course I know!]
[He glances at the White Elephant Demon outside the door and continues, Of course he knows these little questions. It is just that telling you so easily would make it seem like he does not understand the way of a teacher.]
[Like this. Go to the book archive behind the lecture hall. Turn right on the west side, and on the second row of scripture cabinets, the third layer from bottom to top, there is a book called Comprehensive Gazetteer of Divine Capital Prefectures and Counties. It records all matters large and small, from ancient times to the present, in Luoyi. Go read this book and you will find the answer.]
[You do not know whether what the old scripture master says before you is reliable, but right now there are no other clues, so you can only try it.]
[You temporarily bid farewell to the old scripture master and go with the White Elephant Demon to the last building behind the lecture hall, the book archive.]
[Entering the book archive, there are countless scriptures and ancient texts inside. There are more than a hundred scripture cabinets and bookshelves alone, and each scripture bookshelf stores over a thousand books.]
[It is just that the book archive seems to have not been cared for in a very long time. The smell of rotten paper and pages fills your nose. Most of the scriptures and ancient texts inside have yellowed and decayed, their pages sticking together into lumps, while the writing on the pages is blurry and unclear.]
[Following the old scripture master’s words, you find Comprehensive Gazetteer of Divine Capital Prefectures and Counties hidden among ten thousand books. This book also shows signs of having mostly decayed, but fortunately, the writing in the book can still barely be recognized.]
[You quickly browse through the book and soon find records from several decades ago regarding the people of Luoyi fully mining Stone Treasure Valley.]
[The recorded contents in the book are more or less the same as what the old scripture master said, but somewhat more specific.]
[After the government discovered that Stone Treasure Molybdenum Gold could display boundless power when added into weapons through a secret method, it was not that this ore could make blades sharper, but rather that Stone Treasure Molybdenum Gold had a unique effect: suppressing evil!]
[The book does not record why the Martial Emperor ordered people to fully mine Stone Treasure Valley, nor does it explain why the Fire-Worship army wanted to add Stone Treasure Molybdenum Gold with an evil-suppressing effect into weapons. It does not even mention the vast war launched several decades ago with the full strength of the country.]
[Any records regarding the Extreme Evil Corrosion war cannot be found in the book…]
Lin Xun was somewhat puzzled at this moment.
The evil god had always lurked behind the scenes. Even its act of corrupting the gods and Buddhas filling the sky was done silently and without sound.
As for countless mortal children, once the many gods and Buddhas were all corrupted, they would naturally transform into Extreme Evil monsters. The evil god fundamentally had no need to make the already corrupted gods and Buddhas attack Vermilion.
Moreover, how could mortal strength resist gods and Buddhas filling the sky? How could Vermilion possibly maintain a war against the gods and Buddhas for several years or even over a decade?
So who was Vermilion fighting in the war launched with the strength of the whole country?
He narrowed his eyes, countless characters flashing through them, and faintly obtained the answer in his heart.
Lin Xun shook his head and put aside distracting thoughts.
Based on the few clues recorded in Comprehensive Gazetteer of Divine Capital Prefectures and Counties, he already knew how to obtain Stone Treasure Molybdenum Gold!
This Stone Treasure Molybdenum Gold was far in the horizon, yet right before his eyes. It had always been in his pocket.
Lin Xun opened Inventory and soon found the welfare weapon the hellish game had gifted him when he entered the chapter: Bane-Repelling Sword!
[Bane-Repelling Sword (Legendary Weapon): An unparalleled treasured sword named Bane-Repelling, whose meaning is that evil things that see it will submit…]
[Using this weapon will greatly increase the damage dealt to all evil things.]
The Swordsmith was a sword maker who followed the army on campaign, specifically maintaining weapons for military officers. After the army was defeated, he escaped with his life to a mountain village, concealed his name for many years, and later, when forging the Bane-Repelling Sword, sacrificed himself to the sword, leaving the treasure sword divine weapon to his son.
This weapon was named Bane-Repelling and had an evil-suppressing effect, and the Swordsmith was also a sword maker in the Fire-Worship army during the great war.
It was not one hundred percent certain that Bane-Repelling Sword contained Stone Treasure Molybdenum Gold, but there was at least a ninety-nine percent probability…
Lin Xun only needed to return to the library and find the Book of Craftsmen to spend Spirit Essence and dismantle the weapon, thereby obtaining the materials inside.
However, he did not need to go through that much trouble. In the Shell Slots, there was still the Mask Master Shell from the Firefly chapter. Its forging skill was enough to dismantle this Legendary grade Bane-Repelling Sword.
He possessed the Mask Master and carried out the dismantling operation. Very soon, he received the hellish game prompt.
[…]
[You have successfully dismantled the Legendary grade weapon Bane-Repelling Sword!]
[You have obtained Stone Treasure Molybdenum Gold (Material) x1]
[You have obtained Dark Iron Profound Essence (Material) x2]
[You have obtained Thunder Sandstone (Material) x2]
[You have obtained…]
Lin Xun smiled faintly.
After collecting Stone Treasure Molybdenum Gold, he only lacked one material before he could build the Dragon-Gazing Altar.
