Starting boy Ma Kongqun

Chapter 237 Demon Refining Pot

"The loadable equipment - 'Demon Refining Pot' was found. Do you want to load it?"

The reason why Ma Ji was distracted just now was because the moment he took the broken pot, the jade tablet in the sea of ​​​​consciousness immediately moved. When he looked inside, he saw this message appearing on the tablet.

He forcibly suppressed his eagerness to immediately make the decision to "load". He held the broken pot in his hand and showed a helpless smile to Qiu Yan as if he was "unkind to a friend", and threw the broken pot at his feet with a bit of disgust.

Then everyone said goodbye to each other and went back to their homes, but Ma Ji went around in a circle and climbed over the wall from the other direction to return to Prince Qiu's Mansion.

Returning to the previous place and picking up the broken pot again, Ma Ji looked carefully under the dim light of the stars and moon, and saw that it had a square base, an oblate body, and two ears on both sides of the neck. The texture seemed to be rough pottery. , there is a metallic texture when you pinch it with your fingertips.

After Ma Ji looked around to make sure there was nothing unusual, he silently said in his mind, "Load the equipment 'Demon Refining Pot'!"

Immediately, a faint golden light appeared on the surface of the broken pot. The pot showed countless fine cracks like spider webs. Broken coarse pottery particles fell, and a layer of pot body was exposed underneath. It looked like it was made of bronze, with many carvings on the surface. There are patterns of exotic animals and birds, and there are more than a dozen simple and heavy runes full of large, clever and clumsy meanings.

The copper kettle shrank suddenly after revealing its true form, becoming only the size of a palm in the blink of an eye.

He looked inside the sea of ​​consciousness again, and saw that the information displayed on the surface of the jade tablet had indeed changed:

【Host】Ma Ji (Ma Kongqun)

[Talent] God rewards hard work

He was not disappointed by this. After all, his current strength was still shallow. As his cultivation level continued to improve in the future, he would one day be able to completely control it. What's more, even if you can use some of it, it is enough for your current use.

Ma Ji turned the "Demon Refining Pot" upside down, tilted the mouth of the pot toward the water, and activated the runes with his thoughts again. The water level in the pond instantly dropped by more than a foot.

With his current level of cultivation at the seventh level of Taoism, he can only use the first rune to freely use the most basic function of the "Demon Refining Pot", and the second one is very difficult.

Thinking of this, Ma Ji used his spiritual thoughts to explore the runes on the surface of the "Demon Refining Pot". Perhaps because he had become the nominal owner of the "Demon Refining Pot", after his spiritual thoughts scanned these runes, he naturally Understand their meanings and know how to use them to drive the "Demon Refining Pot".

He came to a pond that he had seen when he sneaked in earlier. This pond, along with the living water outside, had never dried up.

After a while, Ma Ji held the pot in his left hand, pulled out the soft knife from his waist with his right hand, and activated the first rune with his spiritual thoughts.

[Level] Seventh level of martial arts (4908/5000) Seventh level of Taoism (4770/5000)

Thinking that if this was really the legendary artifact, the Demon Refining Pot, the space in it would definitely be more than this, so he tried to probe his spiritual thoughts into the purple mist, but the mist was like a solid copper wall, and his spiritual thoughts could not Penetrate even the slightest bit.

[Equipment] Demon Refining Pot

Ma Ji suppressed the surprise in his heart, and tested the Yin God in the sea of ​​driving consciousness to release a ray of spiritual thought. He poked it through the mouth of the pot and immediately saw a space of about ten feet square wrapped in dense purple mist in the pot. .

Of course, "understanding" is one thing, "using" is another.

There was a faint light at the spout of the pot, and the soft knife in his right hand disappeared out of thin air.

Ma Ji inferred from this that although he owned the "Demon Refining Pot" with the mysterious jade tablet, he was still far from being able to truly control it.

He weighed the "Demon Refining Pot" in his hand, and found that it still had the original weight. He then turned it over completely, with the spout facing downwards, but nothing fell out.

It wasn't until his mind moved that the soft knife appeared out of thin air in his right hand. The blade was dry and not stained by any water.

When his spiritual thoughts moved again, the disappeared pool water instantly returned to its original position. Ma Ji fondly touched the body of the pot, then put it away close to his body, turned around and quietly left "Prince Qiu's Mansion".

The city gate was closed at this moment. With his strength, it was not difficult to sneak out over the city wall, but it was completely unnecessary, so he returned to his home.

Seeing her son return suddenly in the middle of the night, Liu Qing was really startled and thought something had happened.

Ma Ji did not hide anything and told the truth about what happened. He just emphasized that the thief's strength was only ordinary and that he was not taking risks at all.

Liu Qing had also met Han Qi, and he did not object to his son's act of righteousness in saving his friend from danger. He just warned that if he encounters similar things again, he must carefully measure his own strength and not force himself to come forward regardless of his own safety.

Ma Ji seriously agreed, and then went back to the room to rest under the care of Ruomei and Ruoxue.

The night is deeper, the West Lake under the moon is calm and waveless, and the silver light shines like a huge mirror.

Suddenly, the surface of the lake rippled, and the precious mirror shattered into sparkling waves.

Then, an extremely long shadow appeared under the water, meandering and swaying, moving towards the shore at high speed, dragging out a long water line, like an invisible giant blade dividing the huge West Lake into two.

In a moment, the shadow came to the shore, the water splashed, and a huge and ferocious snake head emerged from the water. Below it was a densely packed cyan scale the size of a baby's hand, and a body as thick as a bucket.

The snake head raised high quickly swallowed the forked snake messages, capturing various scents in the air with far superior instincts than similar ones, and it didn't take long to lock the target.

In the eyes that were as big as the mouth of a bowl and reflected the moonlight as brightly as two golden lamps, the pupils shrank into thin vertical lines, flashing with extremely humane coldness, resentment and murderous intent. The mark in the middle of the forehead looked like blood. Yin Hong.

Its underwater body was twisting, and when it was about to go ashore to find its target, it suddenly seemed to sense something. It turned its head towards a place in the east of Hangzhou and breathed out snake messages. After sensing for a moment, its huge body quickly retracted into the water and turned around. Swim towards the depths of the lake.

In a earth temple in the east of Hangzhou, a monk with a high nose, deep eyes, and a curvy beard sat cross-legged on a Zen bed, his eyes slightly closed as if he was sleeping but not sleeping.

The moment the giant snake came out of the water, Monk Hu's eyes suddenly opened, and a glimmer of light flashed in his blue eyes.

When the giant snake retracted into the water and away from the shore, a smile appeared on his lips, and then a sad look appeared on his face, and he thought to himself: "I originally wanted to use this meritorious deed to earn enough money to build the temple, but now someone has interfered to disrupt the situation. I can only try my luck elsewhere..."

The next day, Ma Ji got up early to practice martial arts as usual, and Ruomei and Ruoxue were also nearby practicing the pile skills he taught.

After practicing, I harvested a few numerical values ​​that truly represented my achievements and progress as usual, and went to the main courtyard to have breakfast with my mother.

After eating a few mouthfuls, a servant came in and reported that Han Zhang, a member of the Han Dynasty, had brought his wife and son to see him.

Liu Qing hurriedly went outside with Ma Ji, welcomed the three members of the Han family in, and seated the guests and hosts in the front hall.

Han Qi was holding a long brocade box in his hand, standing behind his parents and winking at Ma Ji.
