Chapter 332 - 327 Ugly Person, Cheap Gun
Jia Baihe looked incredulously at Fan Jiansi, no wonder she sensed an added murderous aura on him when they agreed to go to the auction together.
This harmless looking person turned out to be a ruthless killer and plunderer.
Even Fan Jiansi hadn't expected Ding Huan to uncover her secretive trading, and she awkwardly chuckled,
"Brother Ding, Brother Ga, I really had no intention of hurting you, I have principles. Those I've attacked were all coveting the treasures I possess."
Ding Huan was well aware that the reason she hadn't attacked them was not as noble as she claimed.
It was because after knowing Fan Jiansi had a pile of Spirit Stones, they had never thought of robbing her.
During that time, Fan Jiansi must have left several times, and if they had wanted to rob Fan Jiansi, they would have followed her to and from the Void Flying City long ago.
Fan Jiansi's choice to live with them was motivated by their possessions, and it was only because they never gave her the chance.
Seeing Ding Huan ignoring her, Fan Jiansi could only say,
"Brother Ding, Brother Ga, whether you believe me or not, I never harbored any ill intentions towards you. I'll take my leave for now, hoping to meet again in the future."
Initially, Fan Jiansi did indeed intend to seize Ding Huan and Jia Baihe's possessions, but even after revealing her wealth in front of Jia Baihe many times, Jia Baihe was not tempted.
This led her to consider befriending Jia Baihe.
Now that Ding Huan had exposed her and it was clear they didn't welcome her, staying further would only be awkward.
"I never thought she would be the kind of person to rob others on the road," Jia Baihe lamented.
Ding Huan then raised his hand, summoning a Magical Treasure in the shape of a house,
"Let's stay here a while, and after I refine the Night-shocking Spear, we can leave. These few days will be lively, as a bunch of people will try to snatch our items."
"Can't we just leave now?" Jia Baihe looked at Ding Huan, puzzled.
The Nine-colored Immortal Mortal Lotus was on Ding Huan, and leaving now seemed most appropriate.
She knew Ding Huan had an iron pot, which once activated, could outrun any ordinary Flying Treasure.
Ding Huan seemed to know what Jia Baihe was thinking,
"I'm sure someone can catch up with our Treasure, which is why I need to refine the Night-shocking Spear."
Ding Huan was certain because his iron pot had only refined a Five-layered Restriction, and its speed might still not match that of an Immortal Artifact.
Even if it could match an Immortal Artifact, it wouldn't be the fastest.
Wanjie Commerce was such a large commerce house; there was no way they didn't have a Flying Immortal Device.
Of course, besides that, Ding Huan thought Fan Jiansi's method wasn't bad either; taking the opportunity to get rid of those eyeing him, and he could even make some profit.
That guy was probably sent by Louxi River, killing him and then inquiring about Louxi River's whereabouts, it would be best to completely resolve the issue with Louxi River.
Ding Huan was determined to stay and refine the Night-shocking Spear, and Jia Baihe had no choice but to wait.
And sure enough, while Ding Huan was refining the Night-shocking Spear, there were Cultivators continuously setting up cave mansions in the periphery, and some even placed Array Flags to prevent Ding Huan from escaping suddenly.
Ding Huan was unconcerned.
This was Wanjie Commerce's territory, as long as Wanjie Commerce had not taken action or spoken up, these people wouldn't dare to make a move on him.
At this moment, Ding Huan's Divine Will had settled on the Night-shocking Spear.
Almost as soon as Ding Huan's Divine Will penetrated the Night-shocking Spear, torrents of wild and murderous energy rushed directly towards his Sea of Consciousness.
And these malicious energies were relentless; as long as one refined the Night-shocking Spear, they would not cease.
Ding Huan couldn't help but be moved; this was his Sea of Consciousness.
For the Sea of Consciousness of an ordinary Cultivator, it perhaps wouldn't take long for it to be influenced by this malicious energy.
His Sea of Consciousness was his own Great Dao Universe; even though it was still a nascent universe, these malicious energies rushing in were negligible.
What's more, as these malicious energies surged into the Divine Will, Ding Huan enabled the Great Universe Technique to construct the Refining Cycle, integrating the Night-shocking Spear and all of the malicious energies into the cycle.
Once the Great Universe Technique Circulation was established, Ding Huan was confident that no matter how malicious the spear was, he would be able to refine it.
But just after constructing the Great Universe Technique Circulation, and merely completing one cycle, Ding Huan stopped refining the spear.
Under his Great Universe Technique Circulation, he had obtained all the information about the spear. Stay updated through My Virtual Library Empire
This spear had slaughtered its past one hundred and twenty-one owners, with the seventy-third owner trying to merge with the spear and cultivate affection, even sleeping with the spear held in his arms.
Still, the spear had killed him, his friends, and his family.
This was because the spear had been crafted by Chou Jingye, a man whose name matched his ugliness.
He was an Ancient Artifact Refining Immortal Master, and the top Immortal Artifacts he crafted were even stronger than Spiritual Treasures.
Chou Jingye had originally been a low-level Cultivator from the Human Tribe, who, because of his remarkable talent for Artifact Refining, slowly rose to the respected throne of an Artifact Refining sovereign.
Perhaps due to the many humiliations and trampling he had suffered before, his character was somewhat distorted when he became famous and received the admiration of thousands.
It may not be appropriate to call it distorted, but more like an inferiority complex buried deep in his heart.
One day, a girl from the Witch Clan named Xi followed her elder to seek Chou Jingye, hoping to request that Chou Jingye refine a Magical Treasure for her.
The moment Chou Jingye saw Xi, he fell in love with her and immediately proposed marriage.
Xi, seeing how ugly Chou Jingye was and yet he wanted to marry her, cursed Chou Jingye on the spot, calling him a toad, shameless, and a disgrace.
Xi's elder also looked down on Chou Jingye's shamelessness.
This incident caused Chou Jingye great humiliation.
That very night, he entered the Witch Clan's tribe, killed all its members, and raped Xi.
Not only that, but he also fused their grindstone with top-grade materials to refine a spear.
When the spear was still unfinished, Chou Jingye laughed heartily and named it the Night-shocking Spear.
Chou Jingye originally planned to let the Night-shocking Spear absorb the blood of all the people in the Witch Clan's tribe, then generate malevolence to kill all those he deemed deserved death in his eyes.
Unfortunately, at that time, a powerful being from the Witch Clan passed by and, upon seeing this act, flew into a rage.
Before the Night-shocking Spear was fully formed, he used it to pin down and kill Chou Jingye.
The Night-shocking Spear did not absorb the blood of all the Witch Clan members but did absorb Chou Jingye's blood. It wouldn't be wrong to say that the spear was an incarnation of Chou Jingye.
Ding Huan felt contempt. Setting aside that the spear needed constant absorption of blood and malice to maintain its bloodthirsty nature, Ding Huan would not use it, let alone refine the spear because of the scum that was Chou Jingye.
Never mind, without a Magical Treasure, he would find his own.
As Ding Huan was about to leave the Void Flying City with Jia Baihe, a somewhat sharp voice came, "Fellow Daoist, Peng Qi here for a visit."
Ding Huan was just about to walk away. He opened the Prohibition and saw a man dressed like a monk, his body filled with void aura, clearly someone who had spent years wandering the Cosmic Starry Sky.
"What does Daoist Peng seek from me?" Ding Huan asked calmly.
He knew that at least hundreds of people were watching him and Jia Baihe, most of whom came for the Nine-colored Immortal Mortal Lotus. Of course, there were also those who came for the Spirit Stones and the Ten Million Year Old Sea Marrow they carried.
Wanjie Commerce's people might also be keeping an eye on him.
Peng Qi spoke solemnly, "I've come to purchase the Night-shocking Spear from you, Daoist. I bid for it at the auction earlier, but I couldn't outbid you..."
Ding Huan was startled, as he had just thought of disposing of the Night-shocking Spear and now someone came to buy it.
Before he could respond, Peng Qi said, "Don't be too quick to refuse. Only I can wield this spear; it will harm anyone else who buys it.
I'm not so noble as to sacrifice myself for others, but I'm warning you that this spear will bring you no good at all."
Ding Huan eyed Peng Qi's triangular eyes and thought to himself that this guy actually seemed somewhat righteous with those eyes.
"How do you wish to purchase it?" Ding Huan asked after a moment of silence.
Peng Qi originally just came to stake out the place and leave behind Marks of Divine Will, then figure out a way to ambush Ding Huan. He hadn't expected to purchase the spear so easily.
Now, hearing Ding Huan's words, he couldn't let the opportunity slip by if Ding Huan was really about to sell the spear.
"Daoist, I only have a little over three hundred million top-grade Spirit Stones on me. Besides that, I also have one Level 9 Blue Burning Crystal and one Level 9 ferrous tree. If the items are not enough, you can check my ring," Peng Qi said earnestly, his triangular eyes shining with sincerity.
Ding Huan said, "I refined the spear earlier, and indeed it's not much of a treasure..."
"Yes, right, the Night-shocking Spear is indeed not any good treasure, everyone knows that," Peng Qi eagerly agreed with Ding Huan.
Ding Huan continued, "I worry that the spear will also greatly affect you. Wouldn't I be harming you by selling it?"
Peng Qi said earnestly, "I didn't mean to appear as noble as you say, but I assure you, I have the ability to subdue this trashy spear."
"Since you aren't afraid of the spear, then let's proceed with the trade. Three hundred million top-grade Spirit Stones and that Level 9 Blue Burning Crystal," Ding Huan said without hesitation.
Forget the three hundred million top-grade Spirit Stones; he'd still trade for that one Blue Burning Crystal alone. That crystal could upgrade flames, and despite acquiring so many rings, Ding Huan had never come across one.
Now that Peng Qi had brought it to his doorstep, how could he possibly pass it up?
"Good, I thank you, Daoist," Peng Qi said without hesitation as he handed Ding Huan a ring, and then looked at him eagerly.
With a gesture from Ding Huan, the sealed Night-shocking Spear fell into Peng Qi's hands, "The spear is now yours."
"Thank you, thank you," excitement was hard to contain in Peng Qi's eyes; he never thought that the spear he couldn't acquire by any means before, he would now obtain so effortlessly. It felt like a dream.
As he left Ding Huan's cave mansion, he even kindly turned back to say, "You should be careful, I feel that many are prepared to make a move against you."
"Thank you," Ding Huan smiled, clearly not concerned.
Peng Qi nodded and quickly departed.
