Journey to the West: All Heavens and Ten Thousand Realms

Chapter 58 Nine Cauldron Fragments

In the past, ancestor Yu controlled the waters, opened Kyushu, connected nine roads, built Jiuze, crossed Nine Mountains, collected the bronze of Kyushu to cast Jiuding, and controlled the world.

"Xiashu. Yugong" in "Shangshu" records that in the time of Dayu, the world was divided into nine states, namely Yuzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Liangzhou, Yongzhou, Jizhou, and Yanzhou.

Now Jinling City is located in the ancient Yangzhou area.

The materials for casting Jiuding are different, and they are all produced by each state. The gold tribute from which state is used to cast the tripod of that state, and the mountains and rivers in that state are all cast on it.There are also all kinds of strange birds and beasts, gods and monsters that Yuzu encountered in the past when he was controlling the water, and they are also revealed one by one.

The gold that Yangzhou tributes is Yanyang copper, a metal with yang properties, which is as famous as the mountain copper, and it is said that it was transformed by the essence of the sun.

According to legend, after the completion of the tripod, the Jiuding was concentrated in the capital of the Xia Dynasty to suppress the national fortune and bless Kyushu.

Since then, Kyushu has become synonymous with China and a symbol of the supremacy of the king and the unity and prosperity of the country.The three dynasties of Xia Dynasty, Shang Dynasty and Zhou Dynasty were regarded as the national treasure that symbolized the state power, and the Jiuding, which carried the luck of the three dynasties, was regarded as the most precious treasure in the world.

Jiuding absorbs the luck of the world and suppresses the world, all the evil spirits and ghosts flee, the land of Kyushu is in great order, and the human race prospers for thousands of years.So far, Jiuding has been covered with a layer of mystery. The copper of Kyushu is cast into Jiuding, and Jiuding symbolizes Kyushu, which means the right to rule the world, and it also represents the right of the human race to rule the land of Kyushu. It is even more powerful than Chuan Guoxi. More holy and ancient!
It's just that the descendants of the later generations are unworthy. In the last years of the Zhou Dynasty, the five tyrants and seven heroes competed for the hegemony.

Without the Jiuding to suppress the mountains and rivers, the demons in the land of Kyushu will reappear.

It wasn't until Qin ruled the world and frightened Kyushu with a powerful army that the luck of the human race took a turn for the better.

After the Great Qin Dynasty, Han Gaozu Liu Bang killed the demon king White Snake, and the human race stood tall on this land again.

But the Jiuding has been lost. Judging from the incomplete fragments of the Jiuding, the Jiuding has been damaged.

Although it was only a small fragment of the Jiuding, Jiang Liu was still secretly happy in his heart, and secretly said: "This Yangzhou tripod is one of the nine tripods in the world. Although it is broken and the aura in it dissipates, it is the Jiuding after all! "The huge reaction seems to have its own uniqueness. Even if it can't be used to suppress the mountains and rivers, it is an excellent fetish for refining weapons. Now let's see how to buy it from him! This is a great source of blessing, I We can't let him see a trace of abnormality."

Gu Yan stopped beating his fingers on the chair, and carefully looked at the several refining materials one by one, but found nothing.

It's just a blood jade cicada, he can't be sure, the blood soaked in it is hard to determine what kind of blood it is, and there is a faint majesty in it.However, no matter how powerful that blood was during his lifetime, Yushang was just a wisp of blood.

As for the other materials, there is nothing special about them. Even the piece of Yanyang copper is just the residue of a broken magic weapon. It can only be re-smelted in the furnace. It is just a piece of refining material!

"Maybe I'm overthinking it! It's not so simple to pick up leaks. I checked these materials several times. If it's really a leak, this blood jade cicada is very likely... that's all! That's all! I am determined to get these jades. Jade bones, I will have a great possibility to break through refining and transforming qi, reach the realm of refining qi and turning emptiness, and become an immortal! If I had [-]% confidence in refining jade bones before, and got these jade stones, I would at least have [-]% confidence...Earth Immortal! This is my opportunity, if I don't take it, I will be punished by God!"

Thinking of this, Gu Yan said: "Fellow Daoist, you also know that my Longquan Sword Pool is a holy place for sword casting, and the most lacking thing is sword casting materials. I have collected these things for three years, and they are all available but not available." Your treasures... If you barter, your four pieces of white jade can be exchanged for one piece of material."

"One piece? No, no, no, I'm at a loss. You have to know that such a piece of jade is worth at least three spiritual stones. Your refining materials are worth a little more than ghost iron and flame heart stone, but they are not as valuable as my blood soul steel. It’s a bit short. Although the materials of Blood Soul Steel are only Yin copper and Yin iron, they will be contaminated with a lot of karma, and it may even lead to catastrophe, so there are not many handed down, and the value is higher.”

It's not that Jiang Liu doesn't know anything. He has done a lot of homework with the identification of "the escaped one".

In order to avoid having many dreams in the night, Jiang Liu took a step back and said, "Let's do it! Master, I don't need this blood soul steel. I will sell you these things together. I will choose three materials, but this blood jade Cicada must give it to me!"

This trick is called "Striking East and Hitting West". Compared with the Dragon King's Wraith in Blood Jade Cicada, the Kyushu Cauldron is obviously more important, and the pieces of the Yangzhou Cauldron are the must-haves!

If the Blood Jade Cicada can also be obtained, then it would be better to hug the grass and beat the rabbit, killing two birds with one stone!

"Blood jade cicada? Is it really special?" Gu Yan stroked the blood jade cicada, but he was still not sure.

Looking at the pieces of Jiuding on the table, Jiang Liu felt like a cat's claw in his heart. Seeing that Gu Yan was uncertain, he decided to use a strong medicine, and said, "Master, isn't it just a strand of dragon blood! My jade The value of the jade should be enough, so you won’t suffer. If not, I’ll leave, as agreed before, you keep this white jade, and you will do what you say.”

After finishing speaking, Jiang Liu shook his head dejectedly, with a face full of disappointment, he took the white jade and was about to stuff it into his bosom.

Gu Yan smiled wryly, maybe this blood jade cicada is really special, but for him, it can't improve his strength, but these jades are hard to buy even if they have money, there are thousands of monks in the world, how can these top-quality cultivation objects There are leaks, even the small box of jade was collected after three years.

The white jade on the table alone is worth a year's worth of achievements, Gu Yan immediately made a decision, and said, "Wait a minute, fellow Daoist! I'll treat it as a friend, barter, and we'll do what you said, we'll make a deal. This Blood Jade Cicada adds two materials, but you can only choose one of Flame Heart Stone and Nether Iron!"

"Okay! I only need yang-attributed materials to refine the magic weapon, and the ghost iron is useless to me." Jiang Liu fiddled with a few pieces of metal, and said critically: "If it's about appearance, the three-turn yang iron is useless. Yanyang Zitong is a good choice, let’s go for Zitong! Among the five colors, purple is the most respected. Although the power of the magic weapon is important, the appearance should not be too bad.”

"Yes!" Gu Yan didn't care about the copper, and put the white jade and blood soul steel into his sleeves, very satisfied.

And Jiang Liu also threw the two pieces of materials into the storage space, and just kept playing with the blood jade cicada, and got the fragments of the Kyushu tripod without anyone noticing, without any flaws.

The fragments of the Nine Cauldrons arrived in the space generated by the "Fleeing One", and the Earth Immortals would not be able to take them away even if they came.

Walking out of the "Longquan" shop, Jiang Liu's brows showed joy, and he was no longer in the mood to go shopping, wishing to go back immediately and take out the pieces of Jiuding for careful study.

However, he still held back, and walked to the elixir shop of "Baopu Mountain" next door, and asked the alchemist who was in charge of "Baopu Mountain" to check Xie Hong's body.

The old alchemy master with white hair, white beard, and white eyebrows hesitated for a long time, and gave the result of diagnosis: congenital damage, weak spirit.
