Sikong Yu and the others also gathered around, looking at Li Feng lying in Shadow’s arms.
"It’s nothing, just a bit exhausted. I need to rest for a while."
Opening the Eight Gates is extremely risky. Although it can grant Li Feng tremendous power for a short period, once the Eight Gates are opened, it requires massive consumption. If unable to sustain it, the Eight Gates will cause a backlash, swallowing Li Feng like a black hole.
Fortunately, the Mutated Purple Flame within Li Feng seems to counteract the backlash from opening the gates, but even so, opening the Eight Gates still consumes his own energy, and insufficient energy will lead to overexertion.
Therefore, Li Feng does not use this Eight Gates technique lightly. After all, in Ancestor Dragon City, the Eight Gates are considered a forbidden technique.
Moreover, Li Feng wasn’t acting without a plan. Before opening the Eight Gates, he took a petal of the Ice Lotus, whose vitality helped him bear a large amount of the energy consumption. Plus, the battle didn’t last long, so even though Li Feng was exhausted, the situation wasn’t too bad.
"Mm, alright."
Beside him, Ouyang Qiuhai, seeing that Li Feng was fine, turned his gaze to Shi Hao, who had been killed by Li Feng. At this moment, Shi Hao revealed his true form. Compared to the previously handsome, wild-looking blond man, Shi Hao now was nothing but a demon beast.
"Tsk, this guy’s physique is really something, and his pelt is really not bad."
Ouyang Qiuhai reached out to touch the fur of the Golden Lion. The sensation was like touching warm silk, unimaginably smooth.
"So this is the true form of the Demon Clan, tsk."
The others also stepped forward to examine the true form of the Demon Clan Golden Lion.
Sikong Yu took a step forward, glancing over the Golden Lion: "Shi Hao hailed from the Demon Lion Tribe, where the Golden Lions, a demon beast with an ancient bloodline, are the primary members. They have a long history of cultivating into demons."
"Furthermore, the entire body of the Golden Lion is a treasure. Its Essence Blood is top-grade demon blood, even its normal blood is a prime material for alchemy. Its fur is impervious to water and fire, making it prime material for clothing, but these are nothing compared to its bones."
"The bones of a Golden Lion, also known as Golden Bones, are comparable to the hardest metals. Weapons crafted from its bones are, at the very least, of the Xuan Grade."
"In Ancestor Dragon City, the Bai Family’s former War God once had a bow made from the spine and tendons of a Golden Lion, named the Lion Bow. The bow could exert the strength of a hundred cauldrons, reaching a hundred miles far with an instant pull. That War God once used this Lion Bow to vanquish an overlord with one arrow, and repel a demon emperor with three."
"It can be said that the complete corpse of this Golden Lion is exactly what a master craftsman desires most, and it’s also what the cultivators of Ancestor Dragon City yearn to possess as a weapon."
The surrounding trusted aides listened to Sikong Yu’s statement and looked at the Golden Lion with changed gazes. The weapon of the War God indeed.
They might not know much about the military gods and war gods of Ancestor Dragon City over the centuries. After all, the city has produced countless such figures over a thousand years.
But there was only one known as the War God, and in the Duel Arena, this War God was a figure worshipped by all.
After all, the Duel Arena is a place of slaughter.
The War God’s Golden Bow was actually made from the spine and tendons of the Golden Lion right before their eyes, and now their Camp Master had also taken down this Golden Lion. Doesn’t this mean he can also have a weapon like the War God’s?
Maybe their Camp Master will be the next War God.
"Additionally, inside the Golden Lion is a Demon Core. Since it was able to display the Vajra Domain before, this means if the Demon Core is crafted, it might serve as a base for an Array, creating a Magic Treasure."
Sikong Yu continued.
"Can a Magic Treasure really be crafted?" Ouyang Qiuhai was a little excited because Spiritual Weapons and Magic Treasures are not the same.
Spiritual Weapons focus on weapons with arrays as supplements, crafted typically by masters.
Magic Treasures, however, focus on arrays, with many functions: they can attack, defend, or support, and are mostly crafted by Array Masters.
Ouyang Qiuhai was an Array Master with quite an achievement. If not for joining Nine Layers Mountain, she would even qualify to join the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.
However, crafting Magic Treasures is not easy. Magic Treasures are divided into Nine Grades, with the first grade being the lowest up to the ninth. A Magic Treasure’s grade depends on the materials, the array’s application, and the unique ideas of the Array Master.
These three are the foundation of Magic Treasure making. If materials are the body, arrays are the bones, and the Array Master’s ideas are the soul of the Magic Treasure.
All three are indispensable, but if one were to identify the most crucial, Ouyang Qiuhai believes materials come first.
After all, without good materials, no matter how good your ideas are or how extensive your array knowledge and experience is, you are limited by the materials, and the Magic Treasure’s grade won’t be very high.
Most of the protective Magic Treasures Ouyang Qiuhai used along the way were made by herself, but most became unusable after one use.
This is because the Magic Treasures she crafted were mostly under Third Grade, mostly First and Second Grade. Don’t think these low grades are worthless.
Even a First Grade Magic Treasure requires a Spirit Core as its core, plus other materials, costing several Purple Spirit Stones.
And keep in mind, a Ninth Stream Family in Ancestor Dragon City earns only three to five hundred Purple Spirit Stones annually, and her expenses almost equal a Ninth Stream Family’s yearly spend.
Even so, the strongest Magic Treasure she made was only Third Grade, and the area barrier used as a last resort was given by an elder as protection, which was merely a Fourth Grade Magic Treasure.
Within Magic Treasures, anything under Third Grade is single-use. Only Fourth Grade and above can be reused, as long as it remains unbroken, it can slowly recover. However, to possess such a recoverable treasure, the core couldn’t just be an ordinary Spirit Core.
Demon Cores or Earth Beast cores are required, the former from the Demon Clan, the latter at least from a regional overlord.
Once a Magic Treasure is Fourth Grade or above, its value increases tenfold, mainly due to the rarity of materials. Although Ouyang Qiuhai never ran short of money, her family, being detached from the main family, is now a mere Third-Class Family with limited income.
Day-to-day wealth is not an issue, but acquiring ten or eight Demon Cores or Earth Beast Cores for her to practice making Magic Treasures is beyond their means.
Looking at the Golden Lion’s corpse, Ouyang Qiuhai suddenly felt a desire.
The Golden Lion had previously transformed into a human, showcasing the incredibly powerful Vajra Domain for all to see. If she crafted a Magic Treasure from this Demon Core, even if it’s not a Seventh Grade Magic Treasure, it could at least be Sixth Grade.
If she truly activated that Vajra Domain, it would assuredly be a Seventh Grade, as a defensive treasure, unbeaten but very rare.
If put up for auction, it could fetch an astronomical price.
However, asking for it isn’t easy.
After all, this Golden Lion was killed by Li Feng, and this Demon Core is one of its most valuable possessions.
Ouyang Qiuhai thought, sneaking a glance at Li Feng resting in Shadow’s arms, pondering...
