139: Chapter 139 Great Flame Dragon Halberd

Inside the Stone Forest.

The various Yao retreated.

Wu Li crouched on the bluestone at the entrance of the Limestone Cave, his gaze sweeping over the Crow Flock gathered before him.

Hei Yu crouched on the stone pillar at the very front; his aura was much thicker than before he went in, and he had already touched the threshold of the Second Rank.

Bai Chi crouched beside Hei Yu, the ring of white fur around his neck shimmering with a silvery luster under the moonlight, and his aura had also reached the Peak of the First Rank.

Heida, Heier, and Heisan crouched behind, full of energy, each with the cultivation of the Late Stage of the First Rank.

Tiger Biao lay prone on a giant rock, his short, steel-needle-like fur standing on end. His tiger eyes swept across the surroundings, and a low whimpering sound issued from his throat. His aura was also a bit stronger, with faint signs of a Breakthrough to the Peak of the Second Rank.

Behind them, over a hundred First Rank crows crouched on the stone pillars, a dense black mass, all looking at Wu Li in unison, their eyes filled with awe.

Wu Li's gaze swept over the Crow Flock, his voice hoarse and flat: "Have you obtained any Opportunity?"

Hei Yu spoke first, his voice hoarse and respectful.

"Old Ancestor, I found a Spirit Medicine in the Secret Realm. Its grade is not high, but after consuming it, my Demon Power has become a bit thicker."

Bai Chi followed up: "Old Ancestor, I also found a Spirit Medicine fruit. After eating it, my Demon Power also improved a little."

Heida, Heier, and Heisan also spoke one after another, but their gains were all average.

They were all just little trinkets, not high in grade and of little value, but for them, they were already rare and good things.

Tiger Biao did not speak, but simply spat out a dark red Ore from his mouth. It was the size of a fist, with a rough surface, and faint heat waves radiated from it; its quality was not low.

Wu Li stretched out a claw, took the Ore, looked it over a few times, and then returned it to Tiger Biao.

"Yours is not bad. Although I don't know what this thing is, just holding it in your mouth can increase your Physical Body strength."

"All of you did well."

"Go down and digest it."

Upon hearing this, the Crow Flock flew up from the stone pillars one after another, flying off to various parts of the Stone Forest.

Wu Li returned to the Limestone Cave and took out the thirty-five Storage Rings and twenty-six Storage Pouches from his Stomach Storage, piling them in front of him.

The rings and pouches formed a small mountain, shimmering with a faint fluorescent light under the moonlight.

He extended a claw, picked up a Storage Ring, and probed into it with his spiritual sense. It was filled to the brim with pale golden spiritual liquid, rippling inside the ring.

The corners of Wu Li's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a satisfied smile.

These spiritual liquid are enough for him to reach a Breakthrough to the Third Rank.

He put away the Storage Rings and Storage Pouches, took out the long halberd from his Stomach Storage, and laid it across his knees.

The halberd body was slender and pitch-black, its surface covered with fine cracks, within which faint dark red light flowed. On both sides of the halberd body were crescent-shaped blades, sharp and gleaming with a cold light in the gloom.

Wu Li extended a claw and gently stroked the halberd body, his blood-red pupils filled with satisfaction.

"Hum~"

The long halberd emitted a burst of searing heat, and flame patterns flowed along the halberd blade.

As soon as Wu Li's claw touched the halberd body, a scorching aura surged from the halberd blade, and the flame patterns flowed across it, emitting a dark red light.

Within the cracks on the halberd body, the dark red light grew increasingly intense, as if magma were flowing within them.

"It is still a Magical Artifact."

Immortal Realm weapons start from Spirit Soldiers, followed by Spiritual Artifacts, Acquired Spirit Treasures, Innate Spirit Treasures, Magical Artifacts, True Treasures, Immortal Artifacts, and Dao Soldiers.

Wu Li's blood-red pupils constricted slightly, staring at the flame patterns on the halberd blade; those patterns were twisted like snakes, layered upon each other, looking like a blooming flower of fire.

Wu Li had already refined it before, so this time there was no obstacle when his Demon Power seeped in.

A moment later.

Information about the long halberd appeared in his mind.

great flame dragon halberd, Low Grade Acquired Magical Artifact. It has thirty-six Restrictions engraved inside; currently, Wu Li has refined three, with thirty-three remaining unrefined.

The great flame dragon halberd was forged using the bone of a flame dragon as the base, the blood of a flame dragon as the catalyst, and the soul of a flame dragon as the spirit.

The halberd body is slender and pitch-black, the halberd blade is sharp enough to cut gold and break jade, and the crescent blades on both sides of the halberd body can hack, slice, stab, and parry, with endless variations.

For the thirty-six Restrictions, every time one is refined, the power of the great flame dragon halberd increases by one point.

Refining the first three allows the activation of the flame power of the great flame dragon halberd, and the halberd contains thirty-six attack Moves; the halberd blade can be coated with flames to burn enemies.

The imperfect part is that the weapon spirit inside this Magical Artifact has died; although its grade is still a Low Grade Acquired Magical Artifact, missing the most important existence of a weapon spirit, in terms of combat power, it might only be slightly stronger than an Innate Spirit Treasure.

"What a pity."

Wu Li opened his eyes and then put away the great flame dragon halberd.

Next, it is time for a long period of seclusion...

...

At the same time.

Deep in the bamboo forest, by the spring.

Lady Hua sat barefoot on the bluestone, her light green dress trailing in the water, her long hair hanging down behind her like a waterfall.

Her palm was spread open.

Three Golden Cores lay quietly in her palm.

Jin Kui stood behind her, his tall figure blocking half the moonlight, his rugged face devoid of any expression.

The Iron-Backed Bear King, the Rift-Wind Wolf King, and the Azure-Horned Deer King knelt by the spring. The three Peak Second Rank Yao kings were now like three docile puppies, heads lowered, not daring to breathe loudly.

Lady Hua spoke, her voice cold and lazy: "The Human Race will not have any major movements in the short term. The three of you are currently the strongest combat power on the periphery of Taiyue Mountain. Five years from now, at least one of you must reach a Breakthrough to the Third Rank, otherwise..."

She didn't finish, but the meaning was already very clear.

The Iron-Backed Bear King buried his head even lower, saying in a muffled voice: "Lady, my Aptitude is dull, to reach a Breakthrough to the Third Rank in five years..."

"Therefore, this is for you."

Lady Hua interrupted him, flipped her palm, and the three Golden Cores flew up from her palm, hovering in front of the three.

The dark cyan Golden Core flew toward the Iron-Backed Bear King, the silvery-white one flew toward the Rift-Wind Wolf King, and the grayish-white one flew toward the Azure-Horned Deer King.

The pupils of the three Yao constricted sharply; their mouths were agape, unable to say a single word.

Lady Hua's voice remained cold: "Human Race Golden Cores are a great tonic for the Yao Race. I have already refined the Impurities within the Golden Cores. For the rest, if you refine this Golden Core, your Cultivation speed can be several times faster. Five years is enough for you to achieve something."

"As for whether you can reach that step, it depends on your own Opportunity."

The Iron-Backed Bear King extended a claw and tremblingly took the Golden Core, his bronze bell-sized eyes filled with disbelief, his voice shaking: "Lady, this... this is too precious..."

One must know that Lady Hua herself is also a Third Rank great Yao, and these three Golden Cores would also be a boost for her.

Regarding this.

Lady Hua withdrew her hand, her gaze sweeping over the three Yao, her voice cold and lazy: "Go down."

"Five years later, I want to see results."

Upon hearing this, the three Yao were silent for a moment, then all stood up and nodded together.

"Yes! Please rest assured, Lady!"
