"I believe you have already prepared the materials, senior. However, I need to discuss the conditions before I refine this Sacred Rune Stone for you," Ling Xiao said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Even when facing the incredibly powerful Red Water Phoenix, he had no intention of bowing down.
Chishui Phoenix smiled and said, "Of course. What do you need? Rare and precious materials? Ancient cultivation techniques? Or something else? As long as it's within my power and doesn't violate my principles, I can grant your request!"
Little Phoenix suddenly blushed.
"Oh no, what if he asks my mother to marry me off to him? Should I agree or not? Actually, apart from being a bit annoying, he doesn't seem so bad..."
Ling Xiao was completely unaware of the little phoenix's unusual behavior. He had already prepared his terms before coming here, so he said, "I don't want any of those things. I only want you to owe me a favor!"
Debts of gratitude are the hardest to repay!
If he could make the Crimson Phoenix, one of the eight strongest beings, owe him a favor, he could use it when he encountered a problem he couldn't solve in the future.
"You're quite shrewd, aren't you?"
Chishui Phoenix sighed. Of course, she knew what Ling Xiao was up to, but it didn't matter to her. "Okay, I agree!"
Over there, Little Phoenix's face turned bright red with embarrassment. It turned out she was wrong. It turned out that the jerk wasn't interested in her at all. How awful!
Ling Xiao did not notice anything unusual.
Now that the Red Water Phoenix has agreed to his conditions, the next step is to help him refine the Sacred Rune Stone.
Having learned from the first experience, the second time was relatively easier.
But this is only relative; the chances of failure are still very high.
However, Ling Xiao possesses the Taiji Eye and terrifying soul power surpassing that of the eight strongest individuals, which greatly increases his success rate in refining Sacred Rune Stones.
After Chishui Phoenix had all the materials brought over, Ling Xiao immediately began refining them.
He didn't hide it from anyone.
Even if the Crimson Phoenix saw it, it wouldn't be able to learn it. Sacred runes are even more complex than martial arts.
The Red Water Phoenix may have some talent in martial arts, but it has no talent in sacred runes.
Little Phoenix forgot her previous embarrassment and her eyes lit up as she watched Ling Xiao's holy rune pen move with incredible speed and grace.
so amazing!
Although she couldn't understand it, she could still sense how terrifying Ling Xiao's mastery of sacred runes was.
The process went more smoothly than expected, and no problems arose.
With the help of the Taiji Eye, Lingxiao's refining process was almost perfect in every stroke. The seven different elements were perfectly fused together again, and holy runes took shape on the holy rune crystal.
In the blink of an eye, three hours had passed.
The moment Ling Xiao's final stroke landed on the Sacred Rune Crystal, the entire Sacred Rune Stone instantly erupted with incredible energy, and seven different rays of light illuminated the entire hall.
A fist-sized, heart-protecting sacred stone, radiating a rich seven-colored spiritual light, slowly floated in mid-air, its surface patterns flowing endlessly, lively and dazzling.
It is more perfect than the first Seven-Star Sacred Pattern Stone that Ling Xiao refined, and the sacred pattern power it contains is more powerful and gentle, specifically targeting damage to the heart meridian, with a pure and profound aura.
Chishui Phoenix slowly extended her hand, and the Heart-Protecting Sacred Stone gently fell into her palm.
The moment her fingertips touched her, a gentle yet powerful force spread from her palm throughout her body, nourishing her damaged heart meridians and easing the weariness between her brows.
She looked down at the sacred rune stone in her hand, her satisfaction undisguised, and nodded slightly.
"Excellent, what a perfect seven-star high-grade heart-protecting sacred rune stone! It's even more perfect than I expected."
As she spoke, she took out a small, exquisite jade bottle from her bosom. The bottle was lustrous and emitted a faint phoenix aura. She handed the bottle to Ling Xiao, her tone solemn:
"This is phoenix blood, which is formed from my own essence and blood."
Ling Xiao reached out and took the jade bottle, feeling the warmth emanating from it on his fingertips, and raised an eyebrow slightly.
He naturally knew the value of phoenix blood. The essence blood of the Crimson Water Phoenix was a top-tier natural treasure in the Chaotic Martial World, and it was rumored that consuming it could forcibly elevate one's cultivation level.
Even though it can only be used once, and its effect is somewhat weakened on experts above the Returning to Truth Realm, it is still a priceless and rare treasure. Ordinary forces might not be able to obtain even a single drop even if they exhausted the entire strength of their clan.
"The phoenix blood is a token of my gratitude."
Chishui Phoenix spoke slowly, her tone firm:
"The favor we agreed upon before still stands. If you ever need anything in the future, just ask, and Chishui City will do its utmost to help you."
Ling Xiao didn't hesitate; he calmly put the jade bottle into his robes, nodded slightly, and rose to take his leave.
"The Sacred Stone has been refined; I shall take my leave now."
"Lingxiao".
Just as Ling Xiao turned around, the Crimson Water Phoenix suddenly called out to him, her expression instantly turning serious, and her aura becoming more solemn:
Before I leave, I have a few words I must remind you of.
Ling Xiao stopped, slowly turned around, and calmly looked at the Crimson Phoenix, his expression serious:
"Please speak, senior."
"I've heard some things about the underworld town."
Chishui Fenghuang's voice lowered, carrying a hint of solemnity:
"The seal on the Black Death King can only last for another six months at most. You should know this better than I do."
But you probably don't know that the moment the Black Death King's seal was broken was not simply a matter of him acting alone.
Ling Xiao's gaze sharpened slightly, and his aura instantly became fierce. His fingertips curled slightly. He had always thought that he would only need to deal with the Black Death King in six months, but he never expected that there was a hidden story behind it.
"There is a mysterious force that has been secretly plotting this."
Chishui Phoenix continued, a hint of helplessness in her voice:
"That force is extremely well hidden and acts in a secretive manner. I sent people to investigate for a long time, but we couldn't find any definite clues or origins."
But one thing is certain: six months from now, the day the Black Death King breaks free of his seal will be the day the mayor of the underworld town is besieged by multiple forces.
Ling Xiao clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. He was protecting the underworld town and Ji Mingkong and the other two, and he would not allow anyone to harm them, much less allow anyone to secretly plot and covet the town.
"There's one more thing."
Chishui Phoenix looked at him, her gaze filled with complexity, and her tone became increasingly solemn:
"You have the aura of the Demon Lord's Black Sky Sword on you, and it's very strong."
Ling Xiao did not deny it, his expression calm, neither concealing nor showing off. It was no secret that the Black Heaven Sword was in his hands. Moreover, it was not surprising that the Crimson Water Phoenix could sense the aura of the Black Heaven Sword.
"That sword has attracted the covetous eyes of too many people."
Chishui Fenghuang's tone became somewhat heavy:
"You must be extremely careful. It's not just the Silent Court that's eyeing the Black Heaven Sword; there are several other, even more powerful, hidden forces also watching you in the shadows. Given the chance, they will definitely make a move against you and try to seize the Black Heaven Sword."
