Chapter 2360: Tang Family Darts

“Alright, Tang Ming, the City Lord can go and choose other ores now.”

Feng Shendao nodded his head.

Having already gifted a treasure ore with soul attributes, it didn’t matter to let go of another precious life attribute treasure ore.

In fact, in some sense, life attribute ores are considered quite precious treasure ores.

However, the life attribute treasure ore chosen by Tang Ming was somewhat different. This treasure ore was also provided by the Feng Family.

Logically speaking, a life attribute treasure ore is not weaker than a soul attribute treasure ore.

But the treasure ore chosen by Tang Ming was extremely rich in blood energy.

Abundant blood energy can be a good thing for some people. However, for a life attribute gemstone, it’s different; it loses its essence.

Its essence is life, yet its power manifests as blood.

The power of blood is rather evil, so it’s quite possible for this treasure ore to refine into some kind of evil-type treasure.

Feng Shendao did not understand why Tang Ming chose this treasure ore. The reason he had made it available was to attract the attention of Carl and Dadun.

He believed that the people from the Blood Ancestor Divine Sect would surely be interested in this treasure ore.

If that were the case, they would likely choose less from the precious treasure ore provided by the Feng Family and Jin Family.

“This treasure ore is not as good as those two mixed treasure ores.”

Seeing Feng Shendao didn’t follow, Tang Ming, who walked over to select ordinary ores, looked at the Qiankun Nine Palace Tripod and said.

In Tang Ming’s mind, the voice of the Nine-headed Goose Deer came through; “I have a reason for letting you choose this one. Do you know why the blood energy within this treasure ore is so abundant?”

“Why?”

Tang Ming actually wanted to choose the two treasure ores pointed out by Feng Shendao, but in fact, these three treasure ores were all chosen by the Nine-headed Goose Deer.

After all, placing a treasure ore in the Qiankun Nine Palace Tripod allows it to be absorbed into the Qiankun Nine Palace Realm and form a mineral vein.

The excited laughter of the Nine-headed Goose Deer transmitted into Tang Ming’s mind: “This life treasure ore is actually nurtured by my essence blood.”

“Your essence blood?”

If he were in front of the Nine-headed Goose Deer, Tang Ming’s voice would absolutely rise a pitch.

Tang Ming was quite aware of the matter of the Nine-headed Goose Deer. This guy, just like the Blood Ancestor from the Blood Ancestor Divine Sect, was a guardian of the Abyss Plane.

The Abyss Plane’s current state has a lot to do with his fall.

But how did his essence blood come to the Taoyuan World?

“Confused? Let me ask you, Taoyuan World and Immortal Mountain have always had a connected passage. How was that passage formed?”

The proud voice of the Nine-headed Goose Deer echoed in Tang Ming’s mind.

Tang Ming’s hand trembled slightly when picking the ores, and his steps paused for a moment; “You can’t mean…you?”

“That’s right. Back then, I fought to the death with that old fellow from Immortal Mountain. In the end, he killed me, though he didn’t fare any better. Nowadays, hasn’t the Immortal Mountain Plane been overrun by a newly born guardian spirit? He lost his ascending power, became an ordinary person, then entered the Abyss Realm and became its master.”

The Nine-headed Goose Deer brought up the matter of the Great Lord of the Abyss Demons again. Tang Ming, holding the Qiankun Nine Palace Tripod, could feel his wrath.

Tang Ming coughed lightly: “Alright, Nine-headed Goose Deer, don’t be like this.”

“Yes. I got too excited. Back then, my battle with that old fool broke through the barrier between Taoyuan World and the Immortal Mountain Plane. In fact, the reason Taoyuan World is so bountiful has a great deal to do with the power dissipated during our battle.”

The voice of the Nine-headed Goose Deer grew indifferent. He seemed to be reminiscing about the events of those years.

Tang Ming did not disturb the Nine-headed Goose Deer, as the Nine-headed Goose Deer promised to remove the blood energy from the treasure ore, transforming it into a perfect life treasure ore. So Tang Ming began choosing the ores according to his previous thoughts.

Treasures ore forging is one of the most challenging tasks in immortal artifact forging.

It not only requires the immortal craftsman to understand the ores but also needs the craftsman’s insight on the treasure ore to resonate with it.

Therefore, using treasure ore to refine immortal artifacts demands high strength, and without sufficient immortal power, it’s impossible to forge the treasure ore into an immortal artifact.

After taking enough ores, Tang Ming came to the outside forging platform.

Carl had already gone with Feng Shendao to choose treasure ores, but Dadun and Wu Peng had not gone yet.

Seeing Tang Ming return to the forging platform, Wu Peng cheerfully walked over: “City Lord Tang Ming, I heard that during this treasure ore forging, you can choose three treasure ores. I’m the last to choose, and I wonder if you, City Lord Tang Ming, have any good treasure ores to recommend.”

Tang Ming had a good impression of Wu Peng. This old man was particularly good with manners and seemed to be that very old-school type of immortal craftsman.

“Elder Wu, treasure ores are not something I can recommend, as it relates to personal cultivation techniques and preferences. This time, the competition’s treasure ores are quite good. The three treasure ores I chose are because they suit a particular combination, so I selected them. Hence, I suggest you choose those best suited for a combination as well.”

Tang Ming’s words were quite reasonable, and Wu Peng, standing by, kept nodding his head.

However, Dadun secretly laughed in his heart. Tang Ming said a lot, yet didn’t say anything substantial.

But the old man named Wu Peng truly believed it, nodding continuously.

Actually, the reason Tang Ming said this to Wu Peng was that he saw the thing Wu Peng suddenly revealed.

Due to the angle, only Tang Ming could see that object.

It was a dark dart. This kind of thing is recorded in the Divine Machine Refinement, as it’s known as the essence of the Divine Machine Refinement.

Only those who cultivate the Divine Machine Refinement can craft such a dart. Thus, this item has always been used to prove one’s identity among the Tang Family.

Wu Peng taking out that dart signified he was from the Tang Family. If not, the aura conveyed within the dart wouldn’t be benevolent.

Wu Peng quickly retracted the dart and then returned to his place, while Tang Ming closed his eyes to calm his emotions.

He couldn’t understand why Wu Peng suddenly connected with him, having had no prior contact.

Could it be that something changed on Immortal Mountain?

Thinking of the father he had never met before, and his wife and daughter who ascended to the Immortal World ahead of him.

Tang Ming’s pupils focused.

At this time, Feng Shendao came out, taking Dadun with him. Carl and Sidenlo actually came out together, chatting and laughing.

Seeing Tang Ming, Sidenlo placed his chosen treasure ores on the forging platform: “City Lord Tang Ming, take a look at how my treasure ores are.”
