First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 291: Promotion and the Demon-Slaying Sword

With the income, the headquarters of the Garrison Bureau has also been renovated.

Unlike the previous dilapidated scene, a large number of buildings and mansions have been built in the northwest corner of the city, with pavilions and towers, showing extraordinary grandeur.

This is mainly because the cultivators who are stationed in the Garrison Bureau all year round need a place to live and cultivate.

For example, Elder Xu Tong of the Golden Toad Tower and other cultivators who have their own cultivation caves also need a mansion to rest.

Anyway, with abundant resources and manpower, it is not difficult to build new buildings.

The difficult part is arranging higher-level formations and restrictions to gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Otherwise, relying solely on the previous Spirit Gathering Formation would not be able to support the daily cultivation of so many on-duty cultivators!

Shen Mo still lives in the original mansion.

In the quiet cultivation room, he sits cross-legged with a four-sided bone mirror in front of him.

After inspecting them one by one, Shen Mo quickly discovered that there was a piece of bone mirror with different inscriptions engraved on it.

"Sure enough... someone has tampered with it!"

Shen Mo infused a strand of spiritual power into the bone mirror, and a hazy light appeared on it.

But under his spiritual sense, he clearly sensed that this clear light was fake. Even if it shone on a mutated demon, it would not give any indication.

The bone mirror is different from ordinary magical tools. It can be used without the need for a cultivator to refine it.

It can be activated with spiritual power.

It can also be embedded in formations and activated with the power of spirit stones.

The person holding the mirror is not necessarily the owner, so it is not surprising that they did not notice any abnormalities.

"There is an inscription in this mirror that can close the power of magical tools... Send someone to communicate with that demon-tainted cultivator and let him enter the city at the right time!"

"Without killing Tian Hong, if you want to investigate, you can start with the blacksmiths and the Qi-gathering cultivators of the Tian family."

After thinking for a while, Shen Mo put the bone mirror into his storage bag.

He didn't plan to investigate further!

"The Tian Clan should be safe for a while."

"The Garrison Bureau has also obtained more than seventy thousand spirit stones. If I continue to push, it will easily anger Tian Zhaoquan."

"With my current strength, this is not a wise move!"

"As long as the Tian family doesn't provoke me, I don't need to provoke them and invite trouble."

The Chi family has also paid a lot of spirit stones to the Garrison Bureau.

Although it is not entirely satisfactory, there is no other way.

The cultivation world is just so cruel.

When suddenly encountering a disaster, sometimes you can't even find the real culprit, let alone seek revenge.

In fact, the Patriarch of the Chi family should have guessed... who is the real culprit behind this demonic disaster!

If he had the courage and strength to seek revenge from Tian Hong, Shen Mo would have admired him and helped him with all his might.

However, this person is quite "sensible" and doesn't even dare to say a harsh word.

Shen Mo also understands.

But if the Chi family wants him to continue to step forward and seek justice for their deceased clan members from Tian Hong, they can forget about it.

If one day, Shen Mo's cultivation reaches a level where he is not afraid of Tian Zhaoquan's formidable strength, he will not hesitate to return to Hongye City and kill Tian Hong in front of the Chi family and the graves of the deceased cultivators.

With this in mind, he took out the various spirit gold ores he obtained from the Tian family and arranged them in front of him one by one.

Then he took off the Red Carp Armor.

"With my strong physique, the slight defense provided by this armor is negligible!"

"It's not easy to continue to improve its grade."

"The energy and resources needed are enough for me to refine a new set of armor."

"But even after repairing it, it can still provide good protection for ordinary Qi-gathering cultivators."

"Chen Senior Sister seems to have no armor..."

"Why not refine the Red Carp Armor and give it to her as a reward for her hard work these days."

Shen Mo has seen Chen Mengze's hard work.

She must not be treated unfairly.

Now that he is the commander of the Hongye City Garrison, he has the power to set the monthly salary and rewards for registered cultivators.

The monthly salary is set too high, which may not be good.

But the rewards don't matter much. Whatever Shen Mo says, goes.

So, he comfortably set a very high reward for himself and Chen Mengze!

Anyway, the treasury of the garrison can afford it.

However, this is a reward for official business. Shen Mo has not yet mentioned it to Chen Mengze privately.

The Netherfire burns fiercely.

It melts the spirit gold ore into a pool of spiritual liquid, and then, under Shen Mo's careful manipulation, begins to repair the damage on the left shoulder of his inner armor.

With Shen Mo's current forging skills, repairing the inner armor is not too difficult.

After re-engraving the inscriptions, the Red Carp Inner Armor quickly regained its former glory.

"Chen Senior Sister's figure is slightly different from mine, so I need to adjust the shape of the inner armor."

While thinking about Chen Mengze's measurements, Shen Mo continued to use the spiritual flame to burn the inner armor.

After several hours, the Red Carp Inner Armor underwent significant changes.

It still shines like the scales on a carp's body!

But the overall shape is more slender and exquisite, clearly suitable for a female cultivator.

After testing the defensive capabilities of the inner armor, Shen Mo was satisfied and put it away.

Although its grade did not increase, its defensive power is quite extraordinary for a late-stage Qi Gathering cultivator.

Even a full-force attack from a peak Qi Gathering cultivator can be blocked by the Red Carp Inner Armor by seventy to eighty percent!

It is enough for Chen Mengze to use it until the Ninth Layer of Qi Gathering.

Then, Shen Mo's gaze fell on the Demon-Slaying Sword.

To enhance this Profound Grade high-quality flying sword, he can start from three aspects.

First is the inscriptions on the sword.

The inscriptions engraved on the magical weapon are not the more, the better.

They should be systematic and arranged in order.

Many magical weapons have inscriptions that are a mess, with seemingly numerous effects, but most of them are useless.

However, the Demon-Slaying Sword was forged by a fourth-grade weapon smith.

The inscriptions on it are naturally concise and sharp.

They are all crafted around the characteristics of the Demon-Slaying Sword, "toughness" and "sharpness."

With Shen Mo's forging skills, he cannot reorganize the inscriptions to make them more powerful.

Instead, he might destroy the original characteristics of the Demon-Slaying Sword!

Secondly, the shape and structure of the sword body.

Similar to the inscriptions on the sword, there is not much room for improvement in the forging of the Demon-Slaying Sword.

Thirdly, the material used for casting the sword.

In this aspect, Shen Mo does have room to work with.

Although the materials used to forge this sword are not ordinary iron and gold ores, they are still inferior to top-grade spirit gold such as Heavenly God Iron and Scarlet Heaven Luminous Gold.

It's not that the weapon smith cannot obtain rare materials, but he made this sword for sale.

If the materials are too rare, he may not even recover the cost!

"The Demon-Slaying Sword suits my taste. Even if it costs a lot, it is not considered a waste."

"By gradually replacing the original material with rare spirit gold, it should be able to elevate it to a Profound Grade top-quality sword."

"However, I must be careful during this process... so as not to damage the original structure and inscriptions!"

With a thought, Shen Mo's Netherfire grew stronger, continuously burning the precious spirit materials such as Scarlet Heaven Luminous Gold.

With the help of the liquid gold, Shen Mo carefully covered the sword body of the Demon-Slaying Sword, and using the forging technique, slowly infiltrated and replaced the original material.
