Xu Feng took out the two Superior Magical Artifacts left by Yang Wei, along with some unusable Black Market Goods, and handed them all over to Zhen Tao. These items were of dubious origin, and keeping them could lead to trouble. Since he didn't lack for magical treasures, it was better to wash them clean here.
The Black Market Goods quickly transformed into spirit stones, which were then converted into Treasure Talismans and elixirs.
Now, the only items left were a pair of flying knives that belonged to Yin Yue. This type of ranged attack artifact was Xu Feng's favorite and could still come in handy at critical moments.
After clearing out the clutter in his space, Xu Feng took out the Moonchaser Bow and said, "I would like to custom-make a Spiritual Bow, the higher the quality, the better. Ideally, it should be of superior all-attribute quality; if it can be made into an exceptional one, that would be great." The bow was Xu Feng's life treasure, but unfortunately, such artifacts were rare. The Moonchaser Bow was merely a spiritual weapon and lacked the power of true magical treasures; he had used it very little since arriving in Zheguo.
Zhen Tao held the bow and pulled on it slightly, saying, "Not many modern clerks use bows. We don't have any in stock, but we can forge a magical artifact if needed. As for the grade, only a Refiner would know. No problem; we can take this order." Zhen Tao agreed.
According to the price of Superior Magical Artifacts, Xu Feng paid a deposit of four hundred thousand spirit stones. The agreed timeframe was one month, but to expedite things, Xu Feng added an extra two hundred thousand spirit stones, hoping to complete it within twenty days. Having seen Long Ye refine tools before, Xu Feng knew that what seemed difficult to outsiders was merely a matter of effort for those in the know; the so-called thirty days was just a production scheduling issue rather than an indication that refining took that long.
After leaving Wujue Pavilion, Xu Feng entered an elixir shop. The elixir shops in Xianxia City were much more powerful compared to those in Qingyang City. Here, even the Seventh-Level Alchemy Furnace that he had never heard of in Liuxiang Kingdom was available for sale, and there were as many as ten formulas for Seventh-Level Healing Pills.
Xu Feng purchased a two million spirit stone Seventh-Level Alchemy Furnace, three formulas, and several seeds of Fury Grass.
Returning to New Dragon Gate Inn, Xu Feng placed a few seeds of Fury Grass into a Blue and White Porcelain container. In less than half a day, a fresh Fury Grass had matured and bloomed with fruit, yielding more seeds before Xu Feng finally stopped.
Based on Yang Wei's previous memories, Xu Feng used his original Dan Furnace to attempt refining Soul Nourishing Pills. The main ingredient for Soul Nourishing Pills was Fury Grass; other medicinal ingredients were common herbs used in very small quantities. This was akin to purifying Fury Grass. After several attempts at refining, Xu Feng grasped the key techniques and began producing Soul Nourishing Pills batch by batch.
To ordinary cultivators, Soul Nourishing Pills were merely elixirs for refreshing the mind—similar to cold medicine from his past life—and were simple to refine. Even someone like Yang Wei, who was an amateur in Alchemy, could manage it on his own. As a high-level Dan Wang, refining such Soul Nourishing Pills was naturally easy for Xu Feng. Each batch produced more than eight pills and took no longer than five minutes per batch.
With the assurance of elixirs ready at hand, Xu Feng began practicing the Sorrowful Technique left behind by Yang Wei.
Like the Soul Cultivation Chapter and Control Vein Technique, practicing the Sorrowful Technique also caused dizziness and discomfort; it harmed oneself before harming others and brought sadness before causing injury.
If it weren't for Xu Feng's foundation from the Control Vein Technique's Soul Cultivation Chapter, suddenly practicing the Sorrowful Technique would have felt overwhelming. He couldn't help but wonder how Yang Wei managed to endure it—oh right! It was because of the Soul Nourishing Pearl; that rascal Yang Wei had a Soul Nourishing Pearl.
Xu Feng took out the Soul Nourishing Pearl and held it in his hand. He then operated the Sorrowful Technique's Cultivation Method, and indeed, the pressure suddenly decreased. The path he was following became smooth, his mind clear, and he no longer felt the previous pain.
With the assistance of the Soul Nourishing Pearl, Yang Wei struggled with the Sorrowful Technique, but in Xu Feng's hands, it surprisingly became easy and effortless. Xu Feng knew this was largely due to the effects of the Soul Nourishing Pearl. Although Yang Wei possessed the Soul Nourishing Pearl, his foundation in Soul Power was too weak, resulting in slow progress.
Three days later, Xu Feng had grasped the threshold of the Sorrowful Technique, and his Soul Power had significantly improved through its cultivation. It was also from this point that Xu Feng began to consume the more than three hundred bottles of Soul Nourishing Pill provided by Yang Wei.
At first, he took one pill, then two, then three. By the sixth pill, Xu Feng poured an entire bottle into his mouth. The Soul Nourishing Pill melted instantly upon contact with his tongue, transforming into a strand of Soul Power that merged into Xu Feng's soul; however, the power provided by the Soul Nourishing Pill was truly overwhelming.
Xu Feng devoured all three hundred bottles of Yang Wei's Soul Nourishing Pill in a frenzy. By the fifteenth pill, he finally achieved a breakthrough in the Sorrowful Technique, stepping into its first realm: Dark Realm.
Melancholy and soul-stirring. Melancholy and heart-wrenching.
Under the attack of the Dark Realm, cultivators do not spit blood and die; instead, they become dejected and lose their fighting spirit. Their strength can only be exerted at most to half its potential. In such a state, fighting against others brings them closer to death.
Xu Feng mischievously used the technique of Outsider's Demonic Melody to alter the attack incantation of the Sorrowful Technique to: "Melancholy and soul-stirring."
The Dark Realm is divided into three segments: front, middle, and back. Xu Feng had reached the front segment of the Dark Realm, but time was running short, and it slowed down even more as he progressed further. After refining several hundred Soul Nourishing Pills, Xu Feng decisively halted his cultivation of the Sorrowful Technique.
Through cultivating the Sorrowful Technique, Xu Feng's Soul Power increased once again. With the constant nourishment from the Soul Nourishing Pearl, his soul grew even stronger. If he were to use Gale Sword Formation again, he could at least unleash it five times in succession, expanding its area to ten zhang.
Calculating the time, twenty days had already passed when Xu Feng returned to Wujue Pavilion.
Zhen Tao seemed to know Xu Feng would come and waited for him on the first floor. After exchanging a few pleasantries upon meeting, Zhen Tao handed a storage bag to Xu Feng.
Zhen Tao said, "Friend, this is a treasure crafted personally by our Wujue Pavilion Artifact Sect. To save you time, we worked continuously for ten days without rest and finally fulfilled our promise by refining this Superior Treasure Bow."
Xu Feng felt a sense of joy and said, "Thank you for your efforts."
This was a dark golden short bow, three feet long, with a wide back and a grip that tapered to half a fist. The bowstring was light blue and extremely resilient. With a gentle pull, three Spiritual Arrows formed on the string, their shafts slender and one size smaller than the Moonchaser Bow, with the arrowheads changed from triangular to conical.
With this bow, he could finally use multiple arrows.
The power of the bow had yet to be tested, but since its quality reached the superior grade, its lethality would naturally surpass that of the Moonchaser Bow.
"Not bad," Xu Feng said as he put away the bow. With this treasured bow in hand and having his most proficient magical artifact, Xu Feng felt a surge of confidence.
"One million five hundred thousand," Zhen Tao quoted a price that surprised Xu Feng.
One million five hundred thousand was equivalent to the price of two Superior Magical Artifacts; with an additional five hundred thousand, one could purchase a Supreme Treasure.
Zhen Tao explained, "What you may not know is that when the Artifact Sect produces an item, it is quite expensive. We usually produce in bulk, but this time you only ordered one item. The loss in the process is significant, and very few people buy bow-type artifacts. We only refined two in this batch; who knows when we will sell the other one? The cost of custom orders is very high."
"Understood." Naturally, the price for a single item differs from wholesale. Xu Feng supplemented him with one million one hundred thousand spirit stones and returned to the inn with the spirit bow.
Consort Zhu Lin's Li Hongxiu should be back by now. Xu Feng stayed at the inn for one day before setting off towards Consort Zhu Lin.
This time there was a Spirit Beast Car available, but Xu Feng chose not to ride it. Instead, he flew alone along the original route. Eighty thousand miles was no problem for him now; as long as he didn't encounter a Separation of Spirit expert like Qiao Li on the way, he could ensure a safe journey.
A Divine Separation Stage Cultivator was a dominant figure who wouldn't pay attention to someone like Xu Feng. Qiao Li had also been temporarily assigned during the battle at Jade Rabbit Mountain.
Xu Feng chose to fly himself primarily to test his arrows. After two months of cultivation, he had mastered the Sorrowful Technique and achieved Great Achievement in Water Element cultivation. Now that he had just acquired the Spiritual Bow, all these skills needed to be verified through practical experience.
As before, White Flight, testing at night.
Weak Water Three Thousand of the Water Element is currently the strongest source of spiritual power for Xu Feng. His Lianfeng Blade dances and swirls in the night sky, each strike seeming to tear through space. The movement of the Water Element and his sword techniques merge perfectly, making him like a fleeting light, elusive and untouchable.
However, the gap in realms is too great. Xu Feng's Great Achievement level of Water Elemental Energy still pales in comparison to the robust power of a Late Stage of Nascent Soul. It is merely stronger than the other four elements. Of course, Xu Feng is quite satisfied with this result.
A Late Stage of Golden Core can contend with a Late Stage of Nascent Soul. What else could he be dissatisfied with?
The Sorrowful Technique is a form of Mental Attack. The incantations transform into waves of spiritual energy that impact the enemy's mind, affecting their consciousness. On his journey, Xu Feng deliberately traverses some perilous areas, which indeed draws out a few careless Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivators. Under the assault of the Sorrowful Technique, they unconsciously choose to give up.
Some find Xu Feng handsome and cannot bring themselves to attack.
Some feel pity, thinking why should a man trouble another man.
Some feel ashamed and do not dare to meet Xu Feng's gaze. In the end, one even drew his sword and took his own life.
These are all "evil consequences" caused by the Sorrowful Technique.
As he approaches Explorer Town, Xu Feng draws back his newly crafted Superior Treasure Bow.
The slender Spiritual Arrow streaks through the night sky like a meteor, flying into the jungle. Giant trees explode as it strikes stone piles, shattering them into pieces. Whatever it hits displays immense destructive power.
“From now on, this bow shall be called Diablo,” Xu Feng names his treasure bow.
With a long-range artifact like the Dark Destroyer, combined with the Wings of the Strange Dragon, it has become exceedingly difficult for anyone within the Yuan Ying stage to inflict harm. Conversely, once defeated, escaping has also become incredibly challenging.
After three flight experiments, Xu Feng gained a new understanding of his abilities. In close combat, he was on par with Late Stage of Nascent Soul, and with the Dark Destroyer for ranged attacks, he could make a Late Stage of Nascent Soul cry out in despair. The Sorrowful Technique could affect the minds of Nascent Soul Early Stage and Mid Stage cultivators. When used in conjunction with treasures like the Five Element Needle Technique, it could instantly kill Mid Stage of Nascent Soul.
With Xu Feng's Soul Power increased, the Gale Sword Formation could be activated five times, still leaving him with energy to spare. A single strike could be lethal to a Late Stage of Nascent Soul, and as long as he was within a ten-zhang attack range, he could achieve multiple kills with one blow.
Explorer Town had quieted down significantly. The Spirit Beast Car had only taken off once, indicating poor business.
Xu Feng did not enter Zhang Manyu's inn but flew directly to Consort Zhu Lin.
The disciples of Consort Zhu Lin were cleaning the courtyard, likely in preparation for Li Hongxiu's return. Four to five dozen people were tidying up Consort Zhu Lin's place, leaving it spotless; not even a plastic bag could be found.
Xu Feng landed in front of Consort Zhu Lin's door, and Lin Yuxuan came out to greet him. Lin Yuxuan was a five-hundred-year-old woman who looked like a girl, with a doll-like face that was fair and rosy, delicate enough to be blown away.
"Junior Xu Feng pays his respects to Senior Lin," Xu Feng said as he bowed.
Lin Yuxuan led Xu Feng inside and said, "We've received news that the Sect Master will return tomorrow. We need to prepare an extra room; I wonder who she will bring back."
Xu Feng felt delighted at the news.
