Chapter 691: Chapter 323: Sequential 1: Blood Guilt Fall!_1

What Shui Miao handed to Fan Mu was an item the size of a normal person’s fingernail, with a fireworks cut red gemstone at its center.

The edges were ringed with three full circles of silver filigree.

An angelical creature with eight pairs of wings was pressed under this fireworks cut red gem, dangling from above which was a cold white curved tooth.

The tooth was hollow inside, similar to the teeth of the Blood Race.

A silver chain was extended from the inside of this hollow tooth, dangling with it a blood drop cut red gemstone.

Though small and unassuming, this item was designed with such care that it was full of character.

It looked like a single earring, meant for decoration.

While it didn’t evoke any sense of a spiritual instrument, Fang Mu knew that what Shui Miao presented must be a spiritual instrument!

This spiritual instrument appeared to hold an energy almost equivalent to the value Cold Drawing Master Fish gave to Shui Miao.

Before Shui Miao and Fang Mu could speak, Qin Shao asked in somewhat surprise.

“You were able to craft a Sequential Spiritual Instrument, and perfectly concealed the beast spirit’s aura within the energy circuit.”

“You’ve become a Top Spirit Forging Master!”

In response to Qin Shao’s surprise and admiration, Shui Miao modestly replied.

“Creating this Blood Guilt Fall was a chance occurrence, requiring the right circumstances and alignment of ‘heaven, earth, and man’.”

“It would be hard for me to replicate this wonder, please do not think of it as more than an accident of fate.”

At Shui Miao’s words, Qin Shao scoffed.

He didn’t know whether to call Shui Miao modest or promote himself indirectly.

The smaller the spiritual instrument, the harder it is to create, and the more difficult it is to shape an energy circuit.

A Sequential One Spiritual Instrument requires over a million energy circuits.

The ability to etch a million energy circuits into such a small area, and perfectly seal the beast spirit within, speaks volumes to Shui Miao’s abilities as a Spirit-smithing Master.

What’s before them was undoubtedly an artifact that even the top-performing Spirit Forging Grandmasters would find difficult to create.

Based merely on Shui Mio’s introduction of this equipment, it should be a blood-element Sequential Spiritual Instrument.

However, a blood-element Sequential Spiritual Instrument is too niche, hardly providing direct amplification for the Beast Master.

That reduces the value of the Sequential Spiritual Instrument compared to other elements of the same rank.

The earring-style Spiritual Instrument however compensated for this flaw.

In addition, named the “Blood Guilt Fall”, this Sequential Spiritual Instrument’s design suits young men, and doesn’t flaunt as much as the popular fashionable accessories.

The texture of the spiritual material itself lends this Sequential Spiritual Instrument a noble, elegant quality, a perfect fit for the aura Fang Mu gives off!

Seeing the look on Qin Shao’s face, Shui Miao knew he was most likely scheming something in his heart.

Shui Miao quickly went on to explain it to Qin Shao.

Given the relationship between him and Qin Shao, if Qin Shao showed up with spiritual materials wanting him to custom make a Sequential Spiritual Instrument, he couldn’t exactly refuse.

But crucially, if he actually attempted to create it, there’s no guarantee that it would turn out!

Not to mention that he was still a whisker away from being a Top Spirit Forging Grandmaster, even actual Top Spirit Forging Grandmasters might not be able to pull it off!

“Have you heard of the creature known as the Devil?”

Shui Miao’s question caused Fang Mu to pause.

The Devil? The Devil of his imagination?

In Fang Mu’s previous life, many movie scenes, games, and literary works included the image of the Devil.

But the Devil was more of a fantastical concept, and all the Devils he had seen were played by humans!

In his eyes, the Devil that Shui Miao spoke of was beyond fantasy, a real live creature!

Fang Mu waited in silence, ready for Qin Shao and Shui Miao to explain above all, learning some unknown knowledge.

Upon hearing Shui Miao’s question, Qin Shao focussed his aura into a condensed line falling onto the earring in Fang Mu’s hand.

Then, as realization dawned on him, Qin Shao exclaimed.

“So this Sequential Spiritual Instrument was made using a Devil’s Blood Crystal, teeth and soul!”

“And you even coated the Angel Species Beast’s wing bones with Mithril to conceal the aura released by the Devil’s spiritual materials and soul.”

“The Devil is also a life form left over from a previous Epoch.”

“Only a handful of ancient battlefields with traces of the Devil exist. The only living Devil found at an ancient battlefield just around the Gale Federation has gone missing.”

“There was always this rumour that the Devil had been seized by a Beast Controlling Force. Never thought it’d have ended up with Twelve Pavilion and made into a Spiritual Instrument.”

Pause, then he continued, “What a wonder that’s come about by the alignment of ‘heaven, earth and man’, indeed irreproducible!”

Shui Miao knew Qin Shao wouldn’t divulge anything, but still, he felt a need to explain.

“Indeed we traded this Devil from a Beast Controlling Force. By then, it was nothing more than a carcass.”

“A living Devil would have been so much more valuable compared to a dead one.”

“If it was a living Devil, I couldn’t turn it into a spiritual instrument!”

“Ah Mu, in my opinion, the only flaw of this spiritual instrument lies in its element.”

“Otherwise, there isn’t any other fault in this spiritual instrument!”

“That said, it is way better than the Purple Qi Nine Crane Furnace Elder Shu gave you as a protection item!”
