Chapter 95: Melting the Materials
They were as if alive and their eyes seemed to be able to gaze.
At the very end, there was a statue that was truly enormous. It was a statue of a man whose age seemed unclear.
What was visible was only his head, the rest of his body seemed to be buried in the ground.
His black eyes flashed a dark light as they stared at Qin Yuan.
"Eternal Star, considering that you have just returned from the Heavenly Palace, I can guess the purpose of your arrival." The statue's mouth turned out to be moving and even made a sound.
"As you might guess, some objects are so hard, I can crush them but not by melting them," Qin Yuan replied.
"The Thousand-Flame Great Emperor should be able to do it, why don't you ask him for help? He will probably help you for free."
"That's not enough, it is made up of many different materials, I need your clan's artifacts for them to become one, forming new materials."
"Huhuhu, have you prepared the things you have to pay us?"
When asked about the fee, even Qin Yuan knitted his brows even though he had already prepared some things that he could lose.
Even so, he didn't directly say the things he prepared, instead, he asked back. "Name the things you want, Eternal Statue Ancestor?"
"I believe you got the Immor Technique, I want a copy of the original and one of the materials," he replied.
Qin Yuan was silent for a while and then nodded, he was glad he didn't ask for more than that. It didn't matter if he took the original copy because he already had another copy.
Although the original copy was quite unique because it was written in an ancient book, it didn't mean much to him who already possessed the original three Immortal Techniques. The two original copies had already been returned by Qian Suyun to him because all the information was already in her memory, so he could use them to transact.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
He took out two objects, one of which was a book and the other was a statue's hand.
The latter he specially prepared for this. That way, he wouldn't have to hand over either of the two statues.
Qin Yuan could feel a gaze fixed on the statue's hand. The gaze was like knitting eyebrows because there was only one hand.
"I'm sure these two things will suffice, you won't lose anything other than a few resources either," he said.
"Losing some resources isn't a problem, but have you forgotten the risks?"
"Things like this don't always carry risks. How many times has it happened? Besides, I've been quite lucky recently, I don't think I'll cause any disaster to your clan," Qin Yuan replied jokingly.
"Hmph, alright! I'll give you some face this time, just take it as a thank you gift for helping one of my clan's descendants grow up."
Obviously he meant Yi Xue.
Qin Yuan smiled faintly and said, "She has determination, I think she would still have reached this point even without my guidance."
"Yeah, you're right, someone who grew to that level might still grow to that level even under different circumstances, too bad the past can't be reverted."
Right after that, the hand of the statue came out from underground, it moved towards Qin Yuan, picking up the two things he just took out.
As the finger moved, a portal suddenly appeared.
"Come in!"
Qin Yuan entered the portal without any hesitation.
He appeared in a different place.
It was in a very, very spacious crypt with black smoke everywhere.
At his side, suddenly a male figure appeared, having a face that looked young but with gray hair.
He was the true body of the Eternal Statue Ancestor.
Not far in front of them, there was a hole like a well into which black bubbles after black bubbles came out.
They flew upwards, easily breaking through the ceiling of the crypt.
Below is the Devil Clan's secret Artifact.
People don't really know what it is and what it looks like, they just know that whatever is put in there will melt.
What's even more amazing, it can unite a variety of different materials into one.
Therefore, when it came to making powerful weapons and combining various materials, people usually came to the Devil Clan.
Of course, that's only for those who can afford it.
"You can put the materials in," said the Eternal Statue Ancestor.
He looked at Qin Yuan's face, seemed to be curious about the things he was about to bring out.
Qin Yuan smiled. He took out a storage ring and threw it into the hole.
Of course, the Eternal Statue Ancestor could still peek when the ring entered the artifact.
His eyes widened soon after.
Among the things that Qin Yuan put in were his staff, the two sabers, the two Puppet Statues, the throne, and other things that were fit to be used as a weapon.
As for whether he can be trusted?
At least so far, there had never been such a betrayal of the people who used the services of the Devil Clan.
This didn't mean this clan was truly benevolent and honest, but the risk of deceiving a supreme expert was something that no one could bear.
Qin Yuan himself was ready to mess with this clan if they dared to deceive him.
"I'm afraid it will become an unrivaled weapon," said the Eternal Statue Ancestor.
"That throne, its weight is truly beyond imagination."
"What weapon do you think is suitable for me to make?" Qin Yuan asked.
"With this amount of material, even crafting a powerful Great Weapon wouldn't be difficult, but if you forge it further, I'm afraid it will become something that can easily cut through the sky."
"Hahaha, your words are too flowery," Qin Yuan replied.
"Alright, let's get started," the Eternal Statue Ancestor said.
He casually snapped his fingers.
The slightly dark crypt was suddenly filled with light of various colors. They came from mysterious lines on every wall.
At this moment, boundless spiritual energy flowed from those lines towards the underground.
The people of the Dawn Continent, whether they were cultivating or fighting couldn't help but stop.
The Spiritual Energy of the entire continent was suddenly absorbed into one location, the black lake.
Rumble!
The ground beneath Qin Yuan shook.
Black smoke rose from the hole, filling the crypt instantly.
He activated his Heavenly Eyes as he looked down.
Unfortunately, even his Heavenly Eyes were unable to penetrate the formations below.
"That won't work," the Eternal Statue Ancestor said with a faint grin.
"I'm not curious to the point I really want to know," Qin Yuan replied.
After maybe an hour, there was quite a strong pressure emanating from below.
"Done!" The Eternal Statue Ancestor waved his palm.
Right after that, there was a pitch-black liquid oozing out from that hole.
The liquid was large enough to become a lake and it gave off a variety of feelings.
When you think it is sharp, you will feel as if there is a knife next to your neck.
And when you think it's cold, you'll feel as if you've appeared in the middle of an iceberg.
"Amazing!" Qin Yuan couldn't help but say that.
He stretched his hand forward.
His Spiritual Energy poured out, forming a gigantic hand. It then grabbed the liquid.
In an instant, it disappeared from there.
