156: Chapter 64: The Bull Demon is Startled, Ling’er Makes a Move_3 156: Chapter 64: The Bull Demon is Startled, Ling’er Makes a Move_3 “Demons all possess the ability to transform into their true forms to boost their combat power, and generally, the stronger the demon, the larger its true form.
Correspondingly, they are able to strike larger areas.”
“Although inferior magic artifacts have limited power, the potential of using magic treasures and immortal treasures in the future is tremendous.”
Qing Su’s eyes lit up, “Your Spirit Explosion Technique?”
Li Ping’an said, “The Spirit Explosion Technique can be continuously improved.
The key is how to create a magic treasure capable of breaking through the defenses of a great demon’s true form, one that isn’t too expensive to make and is suitable for mass distribution.”
Qing Su’s interest was piqued, and she vanished into a flash of immortal light.
Now, she finally understood what her disciple had been researching all this time.
Behind the main peak, Yun Zhongzi watched Li Ping’an from a distance, his mouth revealing a slight smile.
“He really loves refining artifacts.”
Yun Zhongzi murmured to himself, no longer paying attention to Li Ping’an.
He disliked prying into others’ private affairs anyway; he had only checked to see if Li Ping’an’s injuries had healed.
Inside the cave dwelling on Unnamed Peak, Li Ping’an took out a jade talisman and examined it closely with his eyes closed…
Inside the jade talisman was a scroll painting, which was the scene Li Ping’an had seen with his divine skills.
Li Ping’an arrived at the Daozang Hall, meeting up with the newly arrived Gu Qingcheng and Yu Yingshu.
Elder Yansheng had also sent twelve servants from the Heaven and Earth Bridge realm.
Li Ping’an greeted them with a disciple’s salute, and the servants hastily returned the gesture.
Li Ping’an went straight to the point:
“I’ve asked for everyone’s assistance this time because my own power is far too slight.”
“We’re heading to the Collection Pavilion of the Daozang Hall, where, for tens of thousands of years, immortals from our Wanyun Sect have collected various types of accounts and records.”
“I want to develop a set of magic artifacts specifically targeting the true forms of powerful demons, in conjunction with the Spirit Explosion Technique, to counter massive giants.
Therefore, we’ll need all sorts of accounts related to the Demon Race.”
“We’ll arrange our efforts in two steps.”
“First, everyone should scan through the collections.
Gather anything related to the Demon Race here, and then we’ll consult the specific accounts about the demons.”
“I’ll be responsible for compiling everything here.”
“Additionally, if anyone comes across any information related to the Sunset God Arrows used by Houyi when he shot down the suns—even just a few words—please let me know.
“Sunset God Arrows?” Gu Qingcheng wondered aloud, “Weren’t there only ten of those arrows, and haven’t they all disappeared?”
Li Ping’an said, “As the ten suns hung high, Houyi shot them, nine died but one survived.
One of the God Arrows remained with the descendants of Houyi, while the other nine arrows, presumably, are embedded in the bodies of the Golden Crows and have been seized by the Demon Race.”
Gu Qingcheng chuckled awkwardly, “The Demon Race is pretty lucky too.
Although they lost nine princes, they also got nine God Arrows.”
The servants all smiled wryly.
Li Ping’an spoke seriously, “Brother Gu, be careful with your words.
One of the Golden Crows still exists and by now should be a Great Power among the Demon Race.”
“I didn’t say anything just now!”
Gu Qingcheng quickly called out:
“Let’s go, let’s go, let’s start looking for the books.
I was saying, Brother Ping’an, you really didn’t need to call so many servants over.
Yingshu and I could have found everything in a short while.”
A Daozang Hall elder waved his horsetail whisk, and the stone doors of the Collection Pavilion slowly creaked open with a rumbling sound.
Gu Qingcheng looked up and felt his legs go weak.
Beyond the stone doors lay shelves reaching into the darkness with no end in sight.
The Collection Hall was divided into upper, middle, and lower levels, and all these shelves were magic artifacts, floating in a forcefield created by formations.
The Daozang Hall elder waved his horsetail whisk again, and points of starlight appeared throughout the pavilion, transforming it into a sea of stars.
Each shelf was filled with stone tablets, jade talismans, and bamboo slips, protected by Immortal Techniques, and at a rough glance, there were hundreds of thousands of them.
Gu Qingcheng turned to look at Li Ping’an, his mouth twitching wildly.
Li Ping’an replied apologetically, “Without the orders of the elders of the Daozang Hall, one cannot enter or leave at will.
We also shouldn’t call too many people for help.
I’ll treat everyone to a nice meal afterward!”
Li Ping’an set up a desk, placed a blank canvas on it, and awaited the information to come together.
Gu Qingcheng drooped dejectedly, and Yu Yingshu walked into the Collection Pavilion in a daze, following the twelve servants.
It was just a display of the sect’s foundation.
“Ping’an has gone to the Daozang Hall to search for information about the Demon Race?
He wants to develop an Immortal Treasure targeting the true forms of powerful demons with the Spirit Explosion Technique?”
Upon receiving this news, Li Dazhi pondered briefly but didn’t pay too much attention to the matter.
It was a good thing that a Great Power from the Jade Void Palace was residing behind the main peak just when Ping’an was stirring things up.
Li Dazhi pondered a bit more, put down the jade talisman he was holding, and called out:
“Wen Ling, come in for a moment.”
Wen Ling quickly stuffed a piece of dried fruit into her mouth, walked around the screen, and said with her eyes lowered respectfully, “What do you need, ancestor?”
Li Dazhi cleared his throat, took out a jade talisman that recorded last year’s accounts, and handed it to Wen Ling.
He had already figured out how to ‘persuade kindly.’
