Chapter 674: Chapter 674

The Heavenly Spirit Master contemplated for a moment before opening his mouth slowly, "I will give my utmost to handle this matter, but even if we find substitute materials, they will likely be a rare type of Demon Beast."

Xu Qing nodded and said, "In the future, I will send different kinds of Demon Beast hides, and you can try each one."

The Heavenly Spirit Master continued, "As for Demon Beasts, it’s not limited to land; actually, the types of Demon Beasts in the sea are more numerous and stronger, so the probability of finding a substitute is higher."

What he said was not untrue; even during the peak of Fang Immortal Dao, they only occupied the main harbors and coastal islands of the Southern Ocean Islands, making it difficult to explore the deep sea. In the distant seas and deep seas, numerous terrifying Demon Beasts remain hidden; some are so powerful that they are not inferior to Ghost Immortals, some even comparable to Earth Immortals or Human Immortals.

Even the pirates of the Western Ocean only enter the Southern Ocean along the coastline, now using Tianzhu as a major supply point to launch attacks on the Southern Ocean. The distant sea regions are unknown and terrifying areas for all countries in the world.

Xu Qing naturally agreed to the suggestion of the Heavenly Spirit Master. Latest content publıshed on novel~fire~net

Months flew by in an instant, and a secretive experiment concerning the materials for storage bags was quietly taking place in the tranquil and mysterious Green Jade Chamber of the Heavenly Work Institute.

Thirty-six Merfolk Pearl Lamps hung erratically, emitting a soft and bright light.

The light kept reflecting and intertwining on the jade walls, as if numerous lively spirits were dancing, creating a dream-like atmosphere, making one feel as if they were in an Immortal Realm.

The Heavenly Spirit Master had his hair scattered, the strands falling messily on his shoulders like withered grass blown by a fierce wind.

His eyes were bloodshot, resembling cracks in a dried riverbed, revealing exhaustion. The hem of his Daoist Robe was stained with blotches of Demon Blood and Cinnabar, the marks like an abstract painting silently narrating the hardships and dedication he endured during those days.

Every drop of Demon Blood, every trace of Cinnabar, carried his painstaking efforts on the path of exploration.

At this moment, he was standing in front of a Cold Jade Chopping Board three zhang square, the board resembling a massive block of Cold Ice, exuding a trace of coolness.

On the board were neatly arranged deep-sea electric ray skins shaped like crescent moons, these remnants from the Ten Thousand Feet Sea Trench gleamed with a ghostly blue phosphorescence under the Merfolk Pearl Lamp illumination, as if they were mysterious emissaries from the deep sea, harboring endless mysteries.

That ghostly blue phosphorescence, like mysterious stars in the deep sea, sparkled with enticing brilliance, attracting the Heavenly Spirit Master to delve deeper.

"The 108th trial." The Heavenly Spirit Master croaked wearily, a hint of exhaustion and determination in his voice.

He slowly pinched a Spell with his hands, the black iron carving knife in his hand moved like a nimble swimming dragon over the ray skin’s surface. Every time the knife descended, it was as if he was conversing with heaven and earth, trying to uncover the hidden secrets within.

Wherever the blade passed, Dragon Blood Vermilion seeped slowly into the ray skin through the Qiankun Bag’s unique "Celestial Mustard Seed Array".

That Dragon Blood Vermilion, like the source of life, carried mysterious power, slowly merging into the ray skin, adding a touch of mystery to this experiment.

Suddenly, a crisp "tear" sound was heard, and the edge of the ray skin unexpectedly curled up on its own, swallowing the bronze Xuanwu paperweight on the table with lightning speed.

This sudden change made the Heavenly Spirit Master’s heart tighten abruptly, as though his heart was being firmly gripped by an invisible giant hand.

"Did it succeed?" The Heavenly Spirit Master muttered to himself involuntarily, his fingertips trembling slightly, his gaze revealing a hint of nervousness and expectation. His eyes were fixed intently on the curled ray skin.

In an instant, the Heavenly Spirit Master’s pupils shrank, and he hastily summoned the Magical Treasure "Universal Sundial", which in his hands shone with a peculiar light.

As the gnomon pointed to the third quarter past midnight, the entire electric ray skin suddenly lifted into the air, swaying gently, like a leaf blown by the wind, or as if performing a mystical dance.

The light of the Merfolk Pearl Lamp penetrated the semi-transparent skin, casting dense natural patterns upon it.

These patterns subtly matched the trajectories of the All Heaven Stars, mysterious and unfathomable, as if masterworks carved by the handiwork of nature, embodying the mysteries of the cosmic stars.

Every line of pattern seemed like a mysterious pathway, leading to unknown worlds.

"Such a marvel of Creation, incredible to this extent!" The Heavenly Spirit Master could not help but exclaim in wonder, furiously sprinkling out the long-cherished Spiritual Spring. The Spiritual Spring transformed into a mist in midair, resembling a dreamlike sea of clouds.

Within it, a fantastic illusion of the deep sea manifested instantly: schools of electric rays meandering leisurely at the dark abyssal depths, the patterns on their backs flickering with the flow of ocean currents, resembling an animate Qiankun Array, full of vitality and mystery.

That illusion of the deep sea seemed like a mysterious world, showcasing its charm to the Heavenly Spirit Master.

This was the manifested Dao Rhyme latent in the electric ray skin.

Just then, the chamber suddenly shook violently, stacks of calculation papers igniting without wind, fierce flames rising instantly.

A swath of blue smoke rose, slowly condensing into the text of Daoist Scripture in the air, echoing softly, as if narrating ancient and mysterious Dao Rhymes. Every seal character was like an ancient Spell, containing boundless power.

Each seal character turned into a golden ray, merging into the electric ray skin.

The Heavenly Spirit Master, in a flash of insight, spewed out a mouthful of Lifebound Yuan Qi. The instant the Lifebound Yuan Qi merged with the Dragon Blood Vermilion, the star patterns on the ray skin suddenly came alive as if infused with life, starting to shimmer with peculiar and splendid colors.
