Chapter 74: Chapter 74 Sixth Grade Cauldron

"No! Impossible! I have actually been defeated!" Old Poison Monster’s face was filled with disbelief, desperately shaking his head, refusing to believe that this was true.

"I actually lost to a pretty boy like you." The disgusting, rotten face of Old Poison Monster brimmed with resentment, howling like a madman, "It’s all because of you good-looking pretty boys, tricking away all the beautiful women! Even the woman I loved was seduced by you!

I swore that once my divine art was at great success, I would kill all of you pretty boys and possess the most beautiful women in the world."

"It’s you! You pretty boys forced me to cultivate the poison technique, turning myself into something neither human nor ghost! It’s all because of you! None of you will die a good death! None of you!"

At this moment, the blood-colored flame still hovered above Shi Feng’s head, with a hint of black within the blood color, which was the result of the Sacred Flame coming into direct contact with the black Beast Fire of the fourth-stage level, now still digesting it.

When the Sacred Flame descended directly from the top of Shi Feng’s head into his dantian, after devouring the Fourth-stage Beast Fire, Shi Feng felt that the Nine Nether Power he had just spent immediately replenished.

Sword in hand, he walked step by step towards the Old Poison Monster.

"No! Don’t kill me! You can’t kill me, it was you pretty boys who made me like this! I can’t die!" Seeing Shi Feng approach with his sword, the Old Poison Monster’s pupils dilated, shaking his head desperately at Shi Feng, "I know I was wrong, please spare me, you can take your woman and leave now, you don’t need to kill me!"

Shi Feng’s eyes showed not a hint of mercy, A path to one’s own destruction! Self-inflicted, not the least bit deserving of life! He thrust his sword into the Old Poison Monster’s neck, nailing the disgusting creature directly onto the furnace tripod.

Nine Nether Technique activated, power of death devoured! The blood in the Old Poison Monster’s body dried up rapidly under the absorption of the Bloodthirsty, and then both Shi Feng and the Bloodthirsty Sword flashed with light; however, Shi Feng was bathed in white light, while the Bloodthirsty Sword glowed with a blood-colored light.

After absorbing the death essence of a Three-star Martial King, Shi Feng stepped into the Five-star Martial Spirit Realm, and the Bloodthirsty Sword also advanced a grade, becoming a Third-Grade Mystical Weapon, after absorbing the blood of a Three-star Martial King.

Shi Feng didn’t stop there. With a thought, he extracted a fist-sized, semi-transparent soul from the Old Poison Monster’s brain, erasing all consciousness, leaving only the purest soul, which then drifted into Yuel Wushuang’s glabella, nourishing her soul.

After all this, Shi Feng pulled the Blood Sword out of the Old Poison Monster’s neck, and after sensing for a moment, indeed the Bloodthirsty had grown to a Third-Grade Mystical Weapon. With a Third-Grade Mystical Weapon, the power of the sword skills executed by Shi Feng from now on had greatly increased; paired with his current Martial Arts Cultivation, he should be able to battle in the Six-star Martial King Realm.

Putting the Bloodthirsty Sword back into the storage ring, Shi Feng went to check on Yuel Wushuang and found that there was a prohibition cast inside her. With a wave of his hand, he completely erased the prohibition.

"Wushuang!"

"Wushuang!"

Shi Feng gently shook Yuel Wushuang.

"Mmm!" At Shi Feng’s call, Yuel Wushuang moaned lightly, then opened her dim sleepy eyes, rubbing her eyes as she slowly sat up, "What happened to me, where am I?"

"Ah!" It was as if Yuel Wushuang suddenly remembered something, screaming sharply and hugging Shi Feng’s neck tightly.

Shi Feng knew she must have been frightened by the Black Robe, rotten-faced monster.

"Don’t be afraid, it’s all over now," Shi Feng gently patted Yuel Wushuang’s back to soothe her.

"Wuwuwu... Feng Shi, is that really you? Wuwuwu..." At this moment, Yuel Wushuang, just like a normal little girl, was hugging Shi Feng’s neck and crying.

"It really is me," Shi Feng said softly.

"I think I just had a nightmare, a very frightening one," Yuel Wushuang said.

"There, there. It’s all over now, no need to be afraid, I’m here," Shi Feng continued to comfort her by her ear.

"Mm," Yuel Wushuang softly hummed in agreement, still clinging tightly to Shi Feng. After a while, she realized something, gradually loosened her arms from around Shi Feng’s neck, and started to keep her distance, her head lowered as though she didn’t dare to look at Shi Feng.

"It’s okay, get up. Let me take a look at this creature’s condition," Shi Feng said to Yuel Wushuang.

The creature he referred to was naturally the Demon Wolf that was still unconscious under Yuel Wushuang.

"Oh," Yuel Wushuang seemed to realize what he meant, rolling off the Demon Wolf and started to survey their surroundings.

Shi Feng discovered that the Demon Wolf had also been subjected to a Prohibition, similar to the one Yuel Wushuang had faced. With a wave of his hand, he completely erased the Prohibition.

"Roar roar!" The Demon Wolf immediately woke up, opened its big mouth, and let out a roar, revealing two rows of sharp fangs.

"Beast, shut your mouth. Stop your howling!" Shi Feng scolded, and as soon as the Demon Wolf saw it was Shi Feng, it immediately closed its jaws, tumbling to its feet from the ground.

"Eh, what’s this?" From behind him, suddenly came Yuel Wushuang’s exclamation of surprise, and Shi Feng turned around to look at her.

Yuel Wushuang had now recovered from her shock, standing by the Furnace Tripod left by the Black Robed Old Poison Monster, lightly tapping it with her finger, producing a "clang clang clang" sound.

Shi Feng had no experience with Alchemy or Artifact Refining furnaces, but he knew that Yuel Wushuang was a Pharmacist and certainly had a different understanding of such things.

This Furnace Tripod was about three meters tall with three legs, colored yellow from top to bottom and carved with various depictions of birds and beasts.

"Sixth Grade Sect Level!" Yuel Wushuang suddenly exclaimed, then turned her head and looked expectantly at Shi Feng, her intent quite clear.

Shi Feng had not expected that the Old Poison Monster would have hidden such a treasure; Sixth Grade Sect Level, there must not be many Alchemy Masters in the entire Eastern Domain who could craft it. He had heard that creating such a Furnace Tripod was exceptionally complex, involving the incorporation of Arrays, talismans, and scarce materials, and even many Seventh-stage Venerable Alchemists were unable to craft a Sixth Grade Tripod.

Shi Feng smiled at her and said, "If you like it, take it."

Yuel Wushuang had been waiting for these words from Shi Feng. Hearing his smile, she cheerfully replied, "Then, thank you."

With that, Yuel Wushuang promptly stored the Furnace Tripod away into her Storage Ring.

When Yuel Wushuang was collecting it, Shi Feng noticed that he had stabbed the Furnace Tripod with his sword when he had just killed the Black Robed Old Poison Monster, and now as Yuel Wushuang collected it, he saw that the sword hole had disappeared.

Many low-grade Furnace Tripods were easily damaged because they could not withstand the Alchemy Master’s constant year-round exposure to the flames. However, an almost top-grade Furnace Tripod crafted by an Alchemist would usually incorporate a rare metal called Recovery Gold, and the items forged with this metal would then possess self-repairing properties.

This Sixth Grade Furnace Tripod must be one such artifact.
