Castle of Black Iron

When Zhang Tie was talking with Celestial Treasureflame, Immortal Deyang was pressing on a remote-sensing communications finger ring as if he was contacting the powers of Heavens Fortune Sect.

As the deputy head of Demons-kill Valley, Celestial Treasureflame could determine many things and use sufficient resources. However, as a common elder of Heavens Fortune Sect, Immortal Deyang had to inform the powers of Heavens Fortune Sect about such a major event.

Even so, Immortal Deyang got the reply of Heavens Fortune Sect very quickly. Soon after Zhang Tie finished his negotiation with Celestial Treasureflame, Immortal Deyang’s hand had already left the remote-sensing communications finger ring as he revealed a decisive smile.

“In Heavens Fortune Sect, disciples use Seven-color Pills to light their surging points. A set of Seven-color Pills contains seven pills, respectively red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue and purple, which need to be taken for 7 times. It has no side effects. Even kids above the age of 7 could take it safely. The effect of a set of Seven-color Pills could match that of a Taiyi Soul-building Pill. Actually, it’s even better than that of the latter slightly. Referring to the condition of Demons-kill Valley, Heavens Fortune Sect could also contract two towers of time. We pay you 6,000 sets of Seven-color Pills for one time; and 3 decades per time!”

“Hahaha, good, that’s the deal!” Zhang Tie guffawed as he shook hand with Immortal Deyang immediately.

Celestial Woodbuilding watched Zhang Tie with a bit embarrassed look. Before uttering, he pretended to cough twice, “Erm…I wonder whether Jiang Clan could…could also make such a trade with immortal…”

“Of course!” Zhang Tie smiled at once as he said, “Celestial, you should know that I don’t lack anything, but this kind of pills which could help ordinary people to promote to knights in a short period. If Jiang Clan also has such a kind of pill, I could also make a trade with Jiang Clan at the same price!”

“Although Jiang Clan doesn’t have Taiyi Soul-building Pill or Demons-fire Pill, we have another thing for trade!”

“Oh, what’s that?”

“It’s All-spirits Liquid!”

“All-spirits Liquid?!”

“Right. It’s a secret medicine which Jiang Clan extracted from thousands of precious plants. Although it couldn’t directly help fighters to light their surging points like Taiyi Soul-building Pills or Demons-fire Pills do, it could gradually nourish one’s spiritual energy. Immortal, you know, a fighter needs spiritual energy the most to light surging points. The more spiritual energy one has, the easier would it be to light surging points. That’s the effect of Jiang Clan’s All-spirits Liquid!” Celestial Woodbuilding said as he took out a tiny blue glass of medicament and passed it to Zhang Tie.

After taking it, Zhang Tie watched it for a bit before opening its lid. There was about 40 ml green liquid in the blue glass which could be drunk up in the mouth.

After putting it under his nose, Zhang Tie sniffed a pale fragrance coming out of the glass. It smelt like that of orchid flower or plum blossom. As if it was mixed with many kinds of items, the fragrance made Zhang Tie satisfied.

After throwing a glance at Celestial Woodbuilding, Zhang Tie nodded as he drank it up. Eyes closed, he started to taste it carefully.

The All-spirits Liquid tasted good as it was a bit cold and bitter; then, it tasted a bit sweet. After drinking it, Zhang Tie instantly felt the liquid spreading over his stomach like liquor. Meanwhile, trivial bizarre energy penetrated into his blood vessels across his body. With his running qi and blood, the trivial bizarre energy gradually reached Zhang Tie’s head. Like how stalagmites in karst case dropped off water, the liquid gradually penetrated into Zhang Tie’s mind sea and turned into his spiritual energy. At the same time, the same part of bizarre energy in his body failed to penetrate into his blood vessels; instead, it started to disperse gradually. It seems to be the natural consumption of All-spirits Liquid. Although this strand of energy penetrated into his mind sea fast, a part of it dispersed fast too.

In this case, unknowingly, Zhang Tie recalled how the two black holes devoured his spiritual energy as a whim occurred to him. He then suppressed almost all of his spiritual energy in his mind sea. After that, he used a bit of spiritual energy to visualize an abacus and started the mental calculation on the abacus. As the virtual abacus started to run rapidly, the bit of spiritual energy carried by All-spirits Liquid in his blood vessels which was penetrating into his mind sea was instantly caught by the sliding beads and completely assimilated. As a result, Zhang Tie immediately accelerated his calculation, causing the beads to move much more smoothly.

Metaphorically, this process was like how engine oil started to lubricate the frictional parts of the engine when the engine of a bus started.

Not only that, as that abacus was running in his mind sea, the bit of energy of All-spirits Liquid which didn’t enter his blood vessels or mind sea and was going to disperse instantly stopped dispersing as it was immediately absorbed by that golden abacus like how sponge absorbed water before being integrated into Zhang Tie’s mind sea.

When Zhang Tie finished this temporary visualization, he got a bit more spiritual energy in his mind sea.

Although such a strand of spiritual energy was as trivial as a drop of water in the ocean for Zhang Tie, it was almost two more times than the total of spiritual energy increased when Zhang Tie practiced mental calculation by abacus and drank All-spirits Liquid independently.

Zhang Tie immediately understood that it was a perfect match between All-spirits Liquid and mental calculation by abacus. The effect of All-spirits Liquid could enable mental calculation by abacus more smoothly while mental calculation by abacus could improve the absorption of All-spirits Liquid and the conversion efficiency of spiritual energy. The combination of the two was greater than that of each of them independently.

Although All-spirits Liquid could not match a fruit of brilliance, if an ordinary fighter could have enough All-spirits Liquid and master mental calculation by abacus, his or her spiritual energy would see a terrifying growth. In this way, it would be very simple for ordinary fighters to light their surging points…

‘F*ck! Unimaginably, Jiang Clan has such a great thing…’
