Volume 1: Crimson Lotus Temple Chapter 109: Doing It Effortlessly

  Bai Qi also saw that in this study, only the steward was not a trusted person of Fan Wubing. It's likely that he was sent by someone above to monitor Fan Wubing, and this kind of restriction is quite crude, but it's also a way to test Fan Wubing's abilities.

  He just didn't like the butler very much, and kept picking on him over and over again. He could handle it himself, but when it happened to Zhan Bu, he would suffer endless grievances.

  Bai Qi's words were sharp, it was like directly slapping the face of that steward. The steward was also a person who had achieved spiritual enlightenment, hearing Bai Qi's arrogant words, he burst out laughing and said: "Young master, what are you talking about?"

  "Zhan Xian Tai is an old ancestral rule, Bai Qi has made an appointment with you for a duel, and I couldn't stop it either."

  "You're dead, don't blame me!" The housekeeper said, turning and walking away.

  Bai Qi gazed at his back, thinking that he was already a dead man. He had almost refined a Qin Huang Golden Man and also had the Moon Wheel Sword Pill's scholar to deal with a mid-stage Refining Qi cultivator. If he couldn't win this time, he would be a complete waste of resources.

  Fan Wubing watched the steward leave and smiled, saying: "This person, I've never been able to deal with. Bai Qi, if you kill him, I'll cultivate Xian Bu as my new steward."

  Bai Qi gradually got used to Fan Wuji's character and thought, fortunately, this person is only superficially arrogant and inwardly clever, otherwise it would be difficult for himself to survive under his hands.

  As soon as the housekeeper left, the atmosphere in the study improved a lot. Fan Wubing introduced these people to Bai Qi, and Bai Qi gradually understood what he had to do under Fan Wubing's command.

  He was not as leisurely as Zhu Guo, the status of a talisman master was inferior to that of an alchemist, unless he really killed the housekeeper, otherwise he would have to follow Fan Wubing slowly and do some hard tasks. Fan Wubing himself also had to personally cultivate the talents of this lineage.

  If he can defeat a mid-term Return to Void cultivator during the Nascent Soul stage, even if it's by relying on equipment, that would be enough for Fan Wuji to take him seriously and give him a place in Jin Ao Island.

  Fan Wubing was in the study, and after giving instructions to his subordinates about the next sea voyage, he let everyone go back to wait for orders, leaving only Bai Qi alone.

  "Bai Qi, I know you have special abilities that can deal with Jindan strongmen, but do you know what the Daoist attributes of that housekeeper are?"

  "I don't need to know, young master, if I were to kill the steward this time, would there be any trouble?"

  "Whoever dares to investigate what happened on the Beheading Immortal Platform will be personally dealt with by our ancestors."

  "That's good, young master. This person is different from me and can be trusted. I will serve the young master, but I'm afraid it won't be for long."

  "Don't worry, I'll use you until I'm satisfied before letting you go. At least you're not a heartless and ungrateful person."

  "Thank you, young master. I will not forget today's events." Bai Qi understood that this Fan young master would definitely make a name for himself in the future, as long as he remained loyal. On Jin Ao Island, it was only a matter of time before he stood out from the crowd.

  On the second day, Fan Wubing indeed sent a piece of top-grade jade to Bai Qi. The quality of this jade was so good that it was close to being a celestial jade. Another drop of True Dragon's blood was also delivered. Bai Qi couldn't bear to cheat Fan Wubing anymore, so he kept the jade for himself and took out his own treasured top-grade jade to start refining the Symbolic Dragon.

  The refinement of the dragon symbol is extremely difficult for others, and Bai Qi's yin energy is immeasurable. This refinement of the dragon symbol is just a matter of consumption.

  The first time Bai Qi refined the Symbolic Dragon, he had to refine nearly a thousand Symbolic Seeds on nine jade stones. Only then could he refine a Symbolic Dragon equivalent to the Mid-Return to Void stage. Otherwise, it would be nothing more than a few breaths for him.

  Bai Qi decisively cut out over a million pieces of jade, then at the fastest speed, turned these jades into dust. He didn't feel heartbroken about such consumption, he was making these jades originally to refine a piece of equipment unique to himself, and these were just for practice.

  Even a hundred thousand pieces of jade couldn't refine a single dragon symbol, and without this foundation, the jade that Fan Wubing gave to Bai Qi was really not enough for use.

  On the other hand, Yu Shi wanted to cut out a size that could be used to make jade talismans, and he could only cut out two or three hundred pieces. Fan Wu Bing had already been very considerate of Bai Qi, but he didn't know that Bai Qi had never even refined a single Symbol Dragon before, yet he dared to make such a request.

  Bai Qi once again cut out one million pieces of jade, and after consuming 1.6 million pieces of jade, he finally successfully refined a symbol dragon.

  This dragon symbol is precious because it inherently possesses the power of a dragon, combat strength and true dragon-like qualities. Moreover, the dragon symbol can be reused repeatedly, up to eighty-one times at most.

  Even if the worst of the dragon's seal is refined, it can be used at least nine times. Such a powerful thing, even if it can only be used once, will be coveted by people. However, refining this thing requires true dragon blood, and the success rate is extremely low. Unless there is a large sect that specializes in cultivating seal masters to manufacture such equipment, refining this thing would also be somewhat not worth the cost.

  Most sects only let their talisman cultivators refine one or two talismans when they need the power of the dragon, and this thing can't be seen in the market at all.

  As soon as the first dragon symbol was complete, Bai Qi immediately began to refine the second one, and only when all the cut jade stones were consumed did he successfully refine the third dragon symbol.

  Calculating it, so many jade stones were consumed on the Symbolic Dragon, and Bai Qi was at a great disadvantage. However, what Bai Qi wanted to refine was based on the Symbolic Dragon, originally he didn't plan to refine it, but after obtaining the huge Xian Yu on the Di Xie Yin Mai, he had a change of heart.

  For Fan Wubing to refine the Dragon Symbol, it's just to stand firm on Jin Ao Island. This matter is a two-for-one deal, first get familiar with the process of refining the Dragon Symbol and also improve relations with Fan Wubing.

  Bai Qi calculated that he still had enough jade to use, but he was unwilling to refine the symbol dragon again. The key to refining symbols lay in grasping the feeling and being familiar with the rules. He calmed down and repeatedly relived the process of refining the symbol dragon, every time condensing the symbol arrow seed, and the characteristics of success.

  He was here with Bai Qi, Zhu Guo and Zhan Bu were all a bit tense and didn't dare to disturb him. Zhan Bu was worried about himself, while Zhu Guo was worried about Bai Qi.

  Because Bai Qi is going to fail, Zhan Bu will also be implicated, but Zhu Guo absolutely won't. Alchemists, even if they are of a low level, are still worth cultivating. The steward can target Bai Qi, but cannot target Zhu Guo.

  On the third day, Fan Wuji and Guan Jia arrived together.

  Bai Qi looked at the steward and took out a jade token from his hand, handing it to Fan Wu Bing, saying: "Fortunately, I did not disappoint your orders."

  Fan Wubing took the jade token in his hand, and saw that the jade token had layered dragon-scale patterns. The jade token was half a finger longer than normal talismans. On top of the jade token, there was a black aura surrounding it. The housekeeper looked at it coldly and said: "What is this evil energy? It conflicts with the symbol dragon, greatly reducing its power. Do you think this is considered successful?"

  Bai Qi was really annoyed by the steward's entanglement and simply said: "You don't understand anything, let's meet on the Beheading Immortals' Platform."

  Fan Wubing looked at the jade token in his hand, but his eyebrows furrowed. He began to worry that if Bai Qi's words were not trustworthy, he would also be able to keep it safe, and then observe again later. However, Bai Qi's symbol dragon was refined to perfection, at least within his current realm, it was an unthinkable thing.

  Such a talent should be cultivated and refined by oneself to produce the golden elixir, but having been injured on the Beheading Immortal Platform, one cannot hold the Guan family responsible.

  "Very well, you've just refined the Dragon Symbol. I'll give you three days of rest. Three days later, at noon, meet me on the Beheading Immortal Platform."

  "Alright, let you live for three more days." Bai Qi's words also interrupted Fan Wubing's thoughts of persuading him. This person, Bai Qi, must have even more terrifying methods, and since the Sect Master's investigation of him has not yet yielded a final result, it would be better to send him to Zhanshentai to see what he is really relying on.

  If Bai Qi was an undercover agent on Jin Ao Island, he could only endure the pain and kill him. As long as it wasn't this identity, no matter if he was a demon or a monster, he would spare his life.

  After the housekeeper left, Bai Qi said to Fan Wubing: "Young Master, the power of this dragon symbol has not decreased. If it's not necessary, it's better not to use it. This is equivalent to the power of a mid-term Void Dragon, with dragon might and killing aura."

  Fan Wubing nodded, this Dragon Seal had an absolute suppressive effect on the sea monsters, any monster that saw it would be reduced to a lower level of power. A Jindan-level top-grade demon beast, when encountering the Dragon Seal, could only exert its strength at the mid-Jindan level.

  "I have a way to deal with him, don't worry, young master. If I return to Zhongzhou one day, I will definitely give you a big gift."

  Fan Wubing said: "If you don't want to go back?"

  "Avenge the death of one's father, wipe out the hatred of destroying a family."

  Fan Wubing heard the eight words and knew that Bai Qi couldn't stay forever. He hesitated for a moment, saying: "The steward has an instrument that can release the true fire of Tianhuo, I haven't seen what it looks like when it's fully released, be more careful."

  See off Fan Wubing, Bai Qi also started to calculate in his heart. The Taoist instrument that can release the Tianyan True Fire is not a trouble at all. He has six major demon fires himself, and as long as he releases them, they are enough to resist the Tianyan True Fire. It's just that I don't know what the real killer move of this steward is.

  At a time like this when life and death are at stake, it's better not to let him use it first, it's better to take the initiative yourself.

  The matter of Fan Wubing, a Nascent Soul stage cultivator under the command of the One Thought Heavenly Lord, challenging a Golden Core strongman, did not cause much of a stir on Jin'ao Island, and even fewer important people paid attention to it. The battle at Zhanxiantai was also not necessarily a matter of life and death, as many people thought that Bai Xi was just doing it for fame. The gap between the Nascent Soul stage and the Return to Void stage was too great, and some disciples from other branches were already mocking Fan Wubing.

  For cultivators, three days passed in a flash.

  When Bai Qi got up early in the morning, there were already people from Jin Ao Island waiting at the door. Although everyone thought this was a joke, it's too late for Bai Qi to regret now. The ones waiting at the door were disciples of Dao Gong who were in charge of punishment. If Bai Qi wanted to escape now, he would be killed on the spot.

  "Let's go." The palace disciple chuckled and looked at Bai Qi with a mischievous glint in his eyes. They had come this time out of curiosity, but after seeing Bai Qi, they confirmed that he was only a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, and their curiosity disappeared, replaced by amusement.

  "Do you think I'm doomed?" Bai Qi adjusted his clothes and asked calmly.

  "How is that possible? Brother, you are a man of great wisdom, great courage and great luck, you will definitely return triumphantly and behead that arrogant Golden Elixir cultivator on the stage." Several Daoguan disciples chuckled and said, without the rumored coldness and severity.

  "Thanks for your kind words, if I succeed in killing him this time, Bai Qi will come to your door to thank you."
