After Princess Ping An left, Jiang Chen thought about it again and again and asked the Queen Mother:
"Is this Princess Ping An... the one you watched growing up?"
The Queen Mother understood what Jiang Chen meant and wondered whether the princess had another identity or was hiding her strength.
"A princess is a princess. She has more royal blood than I, the Queen Mother, and there is no possibility of being exchanged or possessed... nor is she someone else's clone."
Speaking of possession, he especially looked at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen smiled and avoided her eyes, not revealing her personality switching between being the Queen Mother and the Thousand-Faced Fox.
"You don't have any dignity at all, do you still want to be the empress?"
The Queen Mother sighed softly and spoke eloquently.
"Actually, Chan'er's mother was also a female genius from the Yushou Sect, and that's how Chan'er got engaged to Yun Lanzi, the new generation genius of the Yushou Sect.
Before, she rejected this marriage contract, but for some reason, she strangely agreed to it recently.
Maybe she doesn’t really want to be the emperor, but just wants to win the legendary dragon bone.”
When Jiang Chen heard this, he thought to himself that this princess was a national traitor who had an affair with the beast-controlling sect?
"Have you searched her soul?"
The Queen Mother shook her head and walked beside Quchi:
"Soul magic is not omnipotent.
Three years ago, my strongest soul skill failed in the neighboring country of Bhikkhu.
Ever since they learned about my hallucination, everyone in the palace has been wary of me and practiced the art of strengthening the soul for defense.
Searching for souls is possible, but due to my limited cultivation, it is impossible to search for souls without her knowledge."
Jiang Chen nodded slightly and asked curiously:
"Who said that Huo Fenguo has a dragon bone?"
The Queen Mother said:
"The earliest rumor was that the desert that stretches thousands of miles around Xiyang City was formed by dragon flames...
This is of course a rumor. Dragon flames will not burn anything into sand. The desert is caused by a simple lack of water.
There is also a legend that many years ago, it was the Sharman clan that sucked up the groundwater nearby.
Perhaps, this is the reason why the emperor exploited hundreds of shark girls without restraint."
Jiang Chen also chose to believe in the second legend.
The Shark Pearl has abundant spiritual power and cannot be created out of thin air. There must be a price.
"What is the use of the dragon bone?"
The Queen Mother suddenly stopped and turned to stare at Jiang Chen, her eyes like a deep pool glowing with sparkling light.
She didn't expect that Jiang Chen didn't even know this common sense...
"The purpose of searching for the dragon bones is to extract the dragon marrow and dragon blood.
Dragon blood is said to be the bloodline closest to the fairy spirit. Its function is to stabilize the Dantian and improve the purity of talent, physique and spiritual power.
In addition, some high-level magic weapons will also use dragon blood to temper spiritual patterns."
Jiang Chen thought to himself, I can do most of them.
Immediately, he asked curiously:
"Can dragon blood swallow demonic energy or demonic energy to practice?"
The Queen Mother feels that she is almost becoming a teacher in a private school.
"Of course not, but with dragon bloodline, you can perfectly absorb ordinary spiritual energy and spiritual resources from heaven and earth."
Jiang Chen understood that dragon blood is the purest demon blood, and its efficiency and breadth of absorbing spiritual power far exceed that of humans and demons.
"Besides the Book of Half-Immortals, is there any other way in the world of cultivation to swallow the energy of demons and practice?"
The Queen Mother nodded slightly.
"There are many, but if you want to convert them into spiritual power that human cultivators can absorb, the efficiency is very low and there will be significant losses and losses.
There has never been a cultivator who has used the spirit of demons to practice so quickly as you, including Master Gui Qi himself."
Jiang Chen smiled confidently:
"If not, how could I have caught the eye of the Queen Mother? Let alone the palace and bed."
The Queen Mother rolled her eyes at him and asked:
"Have you thought about how to build the foundation?"
"Like you, all I have to do is wait."
Jiang Chen said calmly.
Then he left the palace and went to Zhuque Street in Xiyang City to find a sword shop that specialized in casting natal swords or custom-made spiritual swords.
He planned to melt and recast Old General Chen's heavy sword into a yellow-level spiritual sword suitable for a person with equal talent in the five elements to control spirits.
It does not seek critical strikes, but seeks balance. It is especially suitable for balanced five-element enchantments, and can even accommodate the spirit of demons.
The shopkeeper has never heard of such a request.
"This is the heavy sword of the Royal Forest Army. You are..."
Jiang Chen said:
"This is the sword that Prisoner Li asked for."
The shopkeeper was suddenly startled, his expression changed drastically, and he said quickly:
"Yes, yes, it must be cast immediately!"
Jiang Chen then took out the unused magic weapons or resources that were in the inventory and planned to sell them all.
"You can help me sell these messes to raise gambling funds for Prisoner Li."
"Yes, I will definitely give you the highest price."
"Also, this soul transfer device is broken, can it be restored?"
The shopkeeper picked up the soul tool with a spine and penetrated it with his spiritual consciousness.
"The spirit pattern inside the Horcrux is shattered. The cost of repairing it is higher than buying a new one. Unless the original owner is your important person and you want to trace the memory, there is no need to restore it."
"Okay, let's sell them too."
"But this is not worth it..."
"Look at the valuation, Inspector Li is in urgent need of money."
"Yes yes yes."
"By the way, please leave your finger blood on the stone blade to suit the newly forged natal sword."
Jiang Chen glanced at the stone blade and felt that leaving finger blood could easily be used by criminals, making it unsafe.
"It's not for me. Ambassador Li needs a universal spiritual sword that is suitable for everyone, not a natal sword."
"I understand, I understand."
When Jiang Chen came back the next day, the junk in his inventory had been sold for more than a thousand spiritual stones.
But it cost eight hundred spirit stones to cast a yellow-level spiritual sword that met his requirements.
The five-foot long sword comes with a scabbard for free, and an auspicious cloud is embroidered on the scabbard.
Jiang Chen took the sword, unsheathed it, and took a brief look.
The sword itself is relatively heavy, and the blade is black and not particularly sharp. The center is engraved with dense fine lines, many more than ordinary swords...
There is no way, this is the characteristic of the Five Elements Sword.
After streamlining the inventory, Jiang Chen felt much more relaxed. Just like emptying the recycle bin, he felt refreshed.
Checked the system panel.
