Path to Heaven

Edited by: Earl, Rebel01

“What the heck is going on?”

Wei Suo was howling in anguish within the peaceful quarters of the Heaven Grade Residence.

After Han Weiwei had foiled his good plans, he felt rather pitiful; going once again to locate Wang Jinzhong. Instead, Wang Jinzhong’s expression changed drastically upon seeing him, directly shaking his head like a gentleman when Wei Suo asked him about mingling. He replied there was no such thing as mingling, and bluntly left Wei Suo clueless.

There’s no such thing as mingling? Clearly you were the one informing me of mingling, and even brought along a feisty beauty; yet now you say there’s no mingling?

“I want to mingle!!!!” Wei Suo howled in anguish.

“What mingle?” A voice suddenly interrupted.

“Old man, you’re finally able to come out of the Ghost Raising jar?” Wei Suo turned around in delight, seeing the green gowned old man sitting above the Ghost Raising jar on the wooden table; suspiciously observing himself.

“Your granny. If not for the fire scorpion blood supplying elemental energy, based on the nourishment of elemental energy of the Ghost Raising jar itself; I could never expect to once again leave this jar.” The green gowned old man stared at Wei Suo as he spoke. “When you go out the next time, remember to purchase the better nourishment Fire Earth Dragon blood. If not, my vitality would surely decrease drastically again. Right, what about that mingling thing?”

“Nothing, you heard wrongly. I was talking about refining Heaven Mending Pellets.” Wei Suo’s face turned slightly red. “I’ve already acquired 100 Cyan Beetle pellets, just waiting for you to assist me in refining. How’s the state of your elemental energy regeneration, can we start refining the pellets now?”

“What’s the rush for?” The green gowned old man glanced at Sheyan. “Have you settled that Mind Devouring Bug elder, you couldn’t have sold it?”

Wei Suo instantly shook his head. “Obviously not, the other two Mind Devouring Bugs have been sent to Golden Jade Pavilion for auction, the Elder Mind Devouring Bug is still safely here.”

“Bring out the Elder Mind Devouring Bug first.” The green gowned old man gritted his teeth and started. “Your granny caused me to lose so much elemental energy, let’s dissect it first. There may very well be some good stuff inside this advanced demonic beast’s body.”

“Are we actually trying to find good stuff, or helping you vent your frustration on the Mind Devouring Bug?”

Wei Suo was accustomed to the old man’s childlike tantrums, therefore he silently shook his head; directly tossing the Elder Mind Devouring Bug out from his Treasure Receiving Pocket.

After the Mind Devouring Bug’s death, it no longer had the support of true elemental energy and lost its invisibility. Looking at this Elder bug, it looked like a wrinkled and sticky leather bag; as though soaked in water for too long.

“Where should we begin?” Wei Suo drew out Liu Sanpao’s broadsword as he gazed upon the repulsive corpse of the Mind Devouring Bug elder.

After spending 600 low grade spiritual stones to purchase a Thousand Refinement Silver, Wei Suo had tested it already. Wen Daoge’s red bracelet was indeed quite powerful, even close to a Spirit artifact. As for Liu Sanpao’s broadsword, its attacking strength similarly exceeded other half-spirit rank artifacts. From what Wei Suo understood, the material composition of the broadsword is extremely powerful, even an ordinary cut was razor-sharp. What caused Wei Suo’s heart to ache was his broken Dark Demon Blade. Previously after clashing with Wen Daoge it had cracked once again, the Dark Demon Blade’s power had declined; and the true energy it consumed became much greater.

“Woah? Where did you pick up this Broadsword from?” After witnessing Wei Suo drawing Liu Sanpao’s broadsword, the old man felt rather intrigued. “This sword should have been infused with several high level essence metals. Even if the broadsword breaks in the future, we can use it to refine other artifacts. Once we combine 1 or 2 kinds of essence metals in, it can really be refined into a flying sword.”

“It can be refined into the level of a flying sword?”?” Wei Suo’s eyes flickered brilliantly. “Looks like I really have a good taste, I knew this broadsword had potential.”

“That’s enough. Based on your cultivation, refining a flying sword and even using it, it is still too early. The most you can do is use this broadsword as a spirit rank artifact.” The green gowned old man smirked, and poked at the corpse of the Mind Devouring Bug. “Let’s start with the head, the demon pellet is over there. It’s best if you go along the body’s wounds, smaller slices; the elder Mind Devour Bug’s skin can be used to refine other things.”

Wei Suo nodded, as he followed the wounds and fiercely sliced. “Pst Chi!” Without support from true elemental energy, the skin of the Mind Devouring Bug no longer had its monstrous defensive capabilities. The broadsword directly cut in without expending much strength.

“Eh, what’s this?”

After cutting open a gap, Wei Suo very swiftly caught sight of a pigeon egg-sized, black demon pellet. But below the demon pellet was a bigger yellowish crystal pearl.

After cutting the two objects out, Wei Suo observed that the black demon pellet was heavy and apart from the color, it wasn’t any different from other demonic beasts’. Instead, the yellow crystal pearl was extremely queer; upon interaction, it would ripple splendidly with glows as though it was filled with water.

“Magic pearl! This Elder Mind Devouring Bug’s innards actually formed a magic pearl!” The green gowned old man immediately gasped violently as he saw the pearl.

Wei Suo couldn’t resist asking, “What’s a magic pearl?”

“Magic Pearls are only formed in certain advanced level demonic beasts.” The old man continued. “Like within the simplest advanced level Jiao dragon; apart from having a demon pellet, it often produces a Jiao pellet. Jiao pellets are like this magic pearl, the condensation of the demon beast’s energy to form the pearl. For example, when a normal Jiao Dragon evolves into a Green Jiao, its body will form a ‘Wind Jiao pearl’ and a ‘Water Jiao Pearl’; containing huge amounts of stored wind and water energy respectively. If they are embedded into the Cyan Search Silver‘s refined artifact, it can directly unleash the energy within against enemies.

“Cyan Search Silver? Why does that sound so familiar? Is it that item that horse-faced cultivator obtained? At that time, you said you will tell me its usefulness in the future.” Wei Suo retrieved a fist-sized silver metal essence from his Treasure Receiving Pocket.

The Green gowned old man glanced at Wei Suo. “That’s right, the Cyan Search Silver’s great function is to combine Magic pearls and several other crystal rocks with special energy; to refine an Infuse-type artifact, which can release the formidable energy residing in these unique crystal pearls.” The old man chattered on with satisfaction. “The formation array I know, can infuse 5 different types of Magic pearls onto a Cyan Search Silver artifact. It can demonstrate 5 different magic techniques, until the magic pearl’s residing energy has been consumed; it can be swapped with other magic pearls.”

“So powerful?” Wei Suo became excited. “This elder Mind Devouring Bug’s advanced properties should be decaying fluid, similar effects to a Yinlin Sand. It can be used to destroy the opponent’s artifact. If we refine the Cyan Search Silver and this magic pearl to forge an artifact, then won’t it be able to ruin the opponent’s magic treasures?”

The green gowned old man snorted. “Don’t be excited too early. Although the melting point for the Cyan Search Silver isn’t high, and we can borrow the Earth Furnace to smelt; we still need to construct a formation array over, using fire controlling techniques to smelt it. Even if your cultivation is at the Heavenly Circuit Stage level 2 or 3, and can roughly use controlling fire techniques; it isn’t so easy to find a fire controlling technique.”

“Is that so, old man? I’ll let you see something.” Wei Suo laughed cheekily. He fished out the scroll he received from Liu Wu from his Treasure Receiving Pocket, and placed it at the old man’s face.

“Samadhi Divine flames!” The old man’s eyes popped out widely. “In the past, the Samadhi palace unique refining flame technique! How did you get it?”

“I gifted Liu We a half-spirit artifact, which he embarrassedly received.” Wei Suo laughed wildly, “I’ll show you something else, your jaws will definitely drop.” Wei Suo straightforwardly produced 5 Mind Devouring Bug eggs.

“Mind Devouring Bug eggs!” As expected, the old man’s eyes almost popped out to the ground.

“Old man, even the Spirit controlling beast technique has been found. It will be auctioned out in the next big scale auction. What do you think would happen if I managed to buy that technique then; along with the Incomplete Beast Slaving booklet to produce a few Mind Devouring Bugs? Wei Suo finished gleefully.

“…..!” The old man unconsciously shivered. Having a demonic beast like the Mind Devouring Bug, even he felt terrified from the thought of it.

“Right now you have pretty sufficient objects, but the key point is that your cultivation is too low. If you could have that yellow garment cultivator’s Heavenly Circuit Stage level 2 cultivation, that will be the minimum. The Divine Sea Stage level 5 is still quite far. Furthermore, five Divine Seas aren’t the same sizes, my Purple Mystic True technique still cannot be compared with a mid Mystic level.” Wei Suo examined the Elder Mind Devouring Bug again, after ensuring there wasn’t anything else, he spoke to the old man. “The Golden Spirit Pellet is quite good, I’ll definitely purchase Golden Spirit Pellets for cultivation. Even the Heaven Mending Pellets possess great benefits.”

“Alright, I understand. You just want me to help you refine Heaven Mending Pellets, right?” The old man gazed at Sheyan. “We can straight away start refining Heaven Mending pellets now, but you have to agree to my 1 condition.”

Wei Suo asked, “What condition?”

The green gowned old man released a wretched laugh. “You probably reaped several benefits this time, and struck gold right. After refining the Heaven Mending pellets, you’ll have to bring me out to tour again; how about letting me satisfy my buying craving?”

“What the!” Wei Suo rolled his eyes. He had no solutions to this crazed old man who hadn’t purchased a single thing in dozens of thousands of years. He rolled his eyeballs speechlessly and nodded.

“Ha ha!” Seeing Wei Suo’s acknowledgement, the old man laughed heartily. “Let’s go refine the Heaven Meding Pellets.”
