“Thank you for your kindness brother Bo, I’d better go and try it first, if it doesn’t work then I’ll think of something else.” Ye Mo apologized and said to Bo Rong with a fist.
Seeing that Ye Mo actually did not want to go along, Bo Rong’s heart was anxious. The reason he found Ye Mo was because he saw that Ye Mo had no roots and no one familiar with this place. To put it bluntly, it meant that in case something happened, he, Bo Rong, would not have to pay any responsibility at all. Because he knew that it was still rather dangerous to go to that place this time, and in case he needed a cushion, Ye Mo was the best candidate.
The main thing was that Ye Mo met his requirements in all aspects, not only was he unfamiliar with Desolate Sea City, but he was also at the late ninth level of Jindan cultivation, so it could be said that Ye Mo fit the requirements too well for him.
When Bo Rong found out that Ye Mo truly wanted to leave, he had no choice but to say once again, “Brother Ye, I won’t hide anything from you. I am also proficient in some formations, and that concealment formation contains defensive functions and has reached the level of a rank five formation. And I also know who set up that concealment formation, it was set up by a Void God Alchemy Patriarch a hundred and fifty years ago, his name was Yu Baisheng.
“What, you said that concealment formation was set up by Yu Baisheng? The same Yu Baisheng who was renowned as the Third Grade Alchemy Patriarch of Nan’an City over a hundred years ago?”
Chen Yugen, however, uttered in surprise.
Zheng Yidao also had a shocked look on his face, obviously knowing of this person Yu Baisheng as well. When Ye Mo looked at the expressions of these three people, he knew that this Yu Baisheng should not be an ordinary person.
For the alchemy line, although Ye Mo could only refine ordinary magic weapons, he also knew that the status of an alchemist was not lower than an alchemist in the cultivation world. Those who could only refine magic weapons were generally called refiners, and those who could refine spirit weapons were refining masters. If one can refine a true weapon, then he or she is a master refiner. As for immortal artefacts, they generally cannot be refined in the cultivation world.
Even if one is also a refiner, a master refiner or a master refiner, there is a big gap between them. In the ancient cultivation era, they were all directly divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower. But at a later time, alchemists were divided in the same way as alchemists. The three grades of upper, middle and lower were completely abandoned and the same nine grades were adopted as for alchemists. That is to say, as an alchemist, a first-grade alchemist could only refine lower-grade magic weapons, while a ninth-grade alchemist could refine extremely high-quality magic weapons, which was not a big difference.
That Yu Baisheng was a third-grade artifact refining master. That meant that he could refine lower-grade dao weapons, and was even the best among the refiners of lower-grade dao weapons, which could be said to be quite remarkable.
Comparatively speaking, refiners were even rarer than alchemists, so refining was likewise a profitable industry.
“Hasn’t senior Yu Baisheng been missing for a hundred and fifty years, I heard? His shop pavilion in South Coast City is all gone now, how did you recognize that concealment formation as senior Yu Baisheng’s?”
Zheng Yidao opened his mouth to ask, but his eyes were already showing excitement. Obviously the relic left behind by Yu Baisheng, that was no small feat.
Even the relics of an ordinary Void God cultivator would be a terrifying possession for a Jindan cultivator, let alone a Void God weapon smithing master like Yu Baisheng who was renowned throughout Nan’an?
Bo Rong nodded solemnly and said, “That’s right, senior Yu Baisheng is astonishingly talented. Not only is he a third-grade artificer, but he is also a fifth-grade formation master. I have studied senior Yu Baisheng’s formations. I am certain that he set up that formation. One hundred and fifty years ago, I heard that Senior Yu Baisheng had won a ‘Brilliant Star Stone’ at an auction, and at that time, there were many people who wanted that ‘Brilliant Star Stone’, and in the end, when Senior Yu Baisheng left the trading house, he was even ambushed. It was after that time that senior Yu Baisheng disappeared from the cultivation world. It was only by chance that I discovered that the concealment formation belonged to Elder Yu Baisheng. As for whether or not there is still something of Elder Yu’s inside, I don’t know yet.”
“Since it is Senior Yu Baisheng’s relic, why did you not tell us until now?” Zheng Yidao said with some dissatisfaction as he said this. His brow was furrowed, and from afar, he really looked like a resentful woman.
Bo Yong sighed and said, “I didn’t mean to hide it from you guys, I would have definitely told you before I went. We’re all friends and it’s not the first time we’ve worked together, so how could I possibly lie to you guys? There is no way for one or two people to break through that level five defence formation. And I suspect that formation will break forcibly to destroy what’s inside, so I’ve come up with a solution. It requires four late Jindan cultivators to do it at the same time.”
After a pause he glanced at Ye Mo again and said, “If that formation hadn’t been too old for too long and somewhat loose, even I wouldn’t have been able to discover it. And that defensive formation is not something that four of us Jindan cultivators can break through.”
Ye Mo didn’t hear Bo Rong’s words after that at all, he only had three words in his ears, ‘Brilliant Star Stone’. When he started to hear ‘Brilliant Star Stone’. There was no way to curb his heartbeat. He was not a high level smith, at best, he was only a seventh grade smith. He was at the lowest level, and if he was lucky, he could only refine a very high grade magic weapon, and most of the time, he could only refine a top grade magic weapon.
But just because he was not at a high level of refining did not mean that he had no insight.
The ‘Brilliant Star Stone’ was a ninth-grade refining material, and could refine a very high grade dao weapon, second only to the tail feathers of the tenth-grade ‘Nine Feather Golden Roc’ he had obtained earlier. And that was not the main thing, the main thing was that the ‘Brilliant Star Stone’ was most suitable for refining flying magic treasures.
He had the tail feathers of the ‘Nine-Finned Golden Roc’, and if he then obtained the ‘Brilliant Star Stone’, wouldn’t that mean that if he found a top-notch refining master, he might be able to obtain an extremely high-quality flying dao weapon? Or even a pseudo-flying immortal weapon? If that was the case, wouldn’t he be able to go to the Northern Watch Continent at will?
His Golden Page World could only take people with him if his cultivation level reached True Transformation, but an extremely high-quality Dao weapon wouldn’t? Even if he was just a Qi Practitioner cultivator, he could still bring people with extremely high-quality Dao weapons all the same.
Of course Ye Mo knew how precious the Extreme Dao Artifacts were, that in a nine-star sect was a treasure of the sect. Not to mention the even more precious flying dao weapons among the extreme dao weapons? If one was given a choice between an extremely high-quality flying dao weapon and a pseudo-immortal weapon, Ye Mo believed that most people’s choice would be the same as his, and would only want the extremely high-quality flying dao weapon.
After Bo Rong answered Chen Yugen and Zheng Yidao’s words, when he saw that Ye Mo had a somewhat odd expression but didn’t say anything, he immediately turned his head to look at Ye Mo and said, “Brother Ye, if you are willing to go along, I am willing to share 20% of Senior Yu Baisheng’s relics with you.”
After saying that, Bo Rong looked at Chen Yugen and Zheng Yidao and said, “Since I discovered the relic, I want thirty percent, and the three of you have twenty percent each. There is another ten percent, which will be given to whoever contributes more, do you have any opinions?”
Ye Mo suddenly spoke, “I only want 10%, but the ‘Brilliant Star Stone’ has to go to me.”
Ye Mo’s words caused the remaining three to fall silent, but soon Bo Rong replied, “I agree, but if there is no ‘Brilliant Star Stone’, you will still share 10%, what about the two of you?”
“I also agree.” Chen Yugen immediately replied, and Zheng Yidao nodded without speaking, clearly indicating his agreement as well.
Ye Mo knew what the three had in mind, the ‘Brilliant Star Stone’ was certainly precious, even more precious than twenty percent of the treasures in it. But there was a big problem ahead, the first ‘Brilliant Star Stone’ was not known whether it was there or not. Yu Baisheng was the artifact refining master, if he had already refined the ‘Brilliant Star Stone’, then Ye Mo would be giving away 10% of the stuff for nothing.
A Void God cultivator’s 10% of something was obviously not trivial, let alone a smith’s 10% of something?
Secondly, the ‘Brilliant Star Stone’ would only cause trouble in their hands and serve no purpose. Back then, the reason why Yu Baisheng was hunted down and killed was because he had obtained the ‘Brilliant Star Stone’. It was nice that the ‘Brilliant Star Stone’ was a top-notch refining material, but who among them had the face to be able to find a master refiner to refine their weapons? Even if they had the face, who would dare to go looking for it? Are they tired of living?
If the ‘Brilliant Star Stone’ was found by a master smith, how could they still have a share of it? Besides, if one gets the ‘Brilliant Star Stone’ and doesn’t refine it, then one is a waste.
When a cultivator reaches the ninth level of the Jindan, how many fools are there, and how many of them are not calculating? Therefore, instead of pursuing the illusory ‘Brilliant Star Stone’, it would be better to have something practical, only to advance to the YuanYing level as soon as possible is the truth.
The four of them had finally agreed on a goal, that Bo Rong would lead the way to find the relics left behind by Yu Baisheng. And even the split had been made, Ye Mo 10%, but there was the ‘Brilliant Star Stone’ that had to go to him. Bo Rong had thirty percent, the remaining two had twenty percent each, and the extra twenty percent would be divided according to how much each person contributed.
As for helping Ye Mo hunt the ‘Nine-Legged Sea Snake’ demon pellet, Ye Mo didn’t mention it, and Bo Rong pretended to forget about it, and the other two wouldn’t care about it.
Ye Mo, however, was a little more wary in his heart, although he was moved because of the ‘Brilliant Star Stone’, but he and Bo Rong had met for the first time, and to bring him such a big fortune, he felt a little unsure. What’s more, Bo Rong and the remaining two seemed to be familiar with each other, if that makes sense, the four were split into two groups and he was only one person in a group, so he was clearly at a disadvantage.
However, Ye Mo did not care about any of this, even if the other three joined together to undermine him, he would not be afraid in the slightest. But it was still necessary to remain vigilant, he didn’t count on others, and he couldn’t be counted on either.
When the matter was agreed, none of the three Bo Rong wanted to delay, and Ye Mo even more so. The four of them clicked together and all agreed to leave immediately.
When Ye Mo offered up the ‘Flying Cloud Boat’, although it caused the three Bo Rong’s surprise, it was not too strange. When Ye Mo discovered that all three of their flying magic treasures were medium-grade flying spirit weapons, and the quality of Bo Rong’s flying carriage did not seem to be below his ‘Flying Cloud Boat’, Ye Mo knew that the cultivators of the Southern An Continent were really too rich compared to the Northern Watch Continent.
Even they had medium quality flying spirit vehicles, those cultivators who came from very good backgrounds must have even better flying spirit vehicles.
