Chapter 12617

Xu Shaoweng hesitated for a moment and said, "If you really want to see the synthesis formula, I can make an exception for the sake of our Tianjun."

Lin Yi immediately stood at attention and exclaimed in respect: "Brother Xu, your righteousness is truly admirable!"

Zhang Baiyu, standing to the side, almost suffered internal injuries from holding it in.

Xu Shaoweng then said, "There is one thing, though. I have always designed the synthesis formula on the spot based on the materials, which takes some time."

Lin Yi was very understanding: "It's okay, I can wait."

"That's fine."

Xu Shaoweng turned to Mou Sheng and said, "Brother Zhang, could you please help me find a quiet place?"

The strategist nodded and said, "I'll have someone arrange it right away."

Xu Shaoweng glanced at the five divine pieces of equipment but did not suggest taking them with him.

For now, he still needs to maintain the airs of a top-tier divine equipment synthesizer and absolutely cannot do anything that might arouse Lin Yi's suspicion.

Otherwise, all your hard work will be in vain.

Xu Shaoweng left, leaving Lin Yi and the other two to drink tea and chat.

The strategist was unexpectedly kind.

Both sides are intelligent people. The situation has reached a point where, even if it's not a complete fight to the death, it's definitely a bloody battle.

One wrong move and you're doomed.

However, at this moment, they were still chatting and laughing, showing no signs of a falling out.

The strategist suddenly asked, "Do you know how the recipe for crafting divine equipment came about?"

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow: "I'd like to hear the details."

Zhang Baiyu, standing to the side, also showed an expression of listening attentively.

The strategist said, "Many people think that recipes are written down, just like ordinary weapon forging. As long as you have an idea, the next step is to keep trying and exploring until you can find a mature synthesis recipe."

"actually not."

"Most other things follow a similar pattern, except for divine equipment."

"The recipe for crafting divine equipment can only be created by the descendants of the gods."

Lin Yi asked cooperatively, "Descendants of the gods? Could it be the offspring of the gods themselves?"

The strategist spoke eloquently: "Strictly speaking, they are not descendants of the gods, but descendants of the creator god."

Lin Yi's eyelids twitched.

Zhang Baiyu was also slightly surprised.

This was a topic he had never heard of before.

After all, even in the thirteen counties of the Divine Realm, anything related to the Creator God is bound to be an extremely sensitive matter.

Even busybodies dare not talk about it casually.

Moreover, the affairs of the gods are a closely guarded secret. Even in the open areas of the divine realm, only a few people know about them, let alone in this Heavenly County.

Lin Yi asked in surprise, "The Creator God has many descendants?"

Since they can be called a race, their numbers must be quite substantial.

The strategist explained, "The creator god himself has very few biological offspring, but the offspring of his offspring, especially after thousands of generations, can be quite numerous."

"In a broad sense, anyone who has even a trace of the bloodline of the creator god can be called a god."

"As for the God Race itself, there is a distinction between pure-blooded God Race and mixed-blooded God Race, but that's another story."

Lin Yi asked with a hint of sarcasm, "Master Strategist, are you perhaps implying that this Master Xu is a descendant of the gods?"

The strategist nodded: "Absolutely true."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Baiyu finally understood.

It's no wonder that my father, the strategist, was willing to place all his bets on Xu Shaoweng, that this old swindler, actually had such an identity.

In any case, the phrase "bloodline of the creator god" is intimidating enough no matter where it is placed.

Lin Yi's expression was strange.

He had actually verified this information through Xu Longyin's intelligence channels.

It's truly lamentable that someone of the bloodline of the Creator God would stoop to swindling in the martial arts world.

However, this is just like a secular dynasty.

So-called royal descendants were precious in the early days of the dynasty, but after a few generations, they became commonplace.

Even those who sell straw sandals exist, let alone swindlers.

The strategist continued, "For the divine equipment synthesis recipe to truly take shape, the most crucial element is the bloodline of the creator god."

“Every divine equipment crafting recipe is essentially a product of the bloodline of the creator god.”

Lin Yi continued quietly, "According to what you're saying, Lord Strategist, isn't the descendants of the gods essentially selling their blood to create the formula for divine armor?"

The strategist nodded and said, "It is indeed selling blood, and this kind of blood selling is not unlimited. Every time a divine equipment synthesis recipe is created, a portion of the bloodline of the creator god will be permanently drawn away until it disappears completely."

Lin Yi had already learned this information from Xu Longyin, but now it has been verified by the strategist.

This is precisely the core reason why he played along with Xu Shaoweng's scheme and acted in the play.

The greatest value of this old swindler is his lineage as a creator god.

The only suspense lies in how much of the creator god's bloodline remains in the old swindler.

If there is too little residue, it will inevitably affect the quality of the divine equipment synthesis recipe.

The higher the quality of the divine equipment crafting recipe, the more of the bloodline of the creator god it requires; this is a basic deduction based on common sense.

Lin Yi's only hope right now is that the old swindler is shrewd enough not to have completely fallen to the point of relying on selling blood for a living, and that a considerable amount of the Creator God's bloodline still remains in his body.

However, if we're more pessimistic, it might have already been squandered.

The reason he became a fraudster is because he can't even sell his blood anymore.

Lin Yi turned to the Strategist and asked, "What is the purpose of the Strategist telling me all this?"

Logically, since the strategist has already made up his mind to bet on Xu Shaoweng, these core intelligence details about Xu Shaoweng should naturally be kept strictly confidential.

Why would they reveal it voluntarily?

The strategist smiled and said, "Nothing special, just chatting and having tea."

Lin Yi and Zhang Baiyu exchanged a glance, both feeling somewhat puzzled.

After a while.

Xu Shaoweng returned to the three of them, his spirits slightly lower than before, but he was still radiant.

"The synthesis formula is ready, brother, please take a look."

He then handed the recipe for crafting divine equipment to Lin Yi without any suspicion, appearing completely at ease with a clear conscience.

Lin Yi took it and examined it carefully before asking a question: "Why isn't there a grade?"

Xu Shaoweng calmly smiled and said, "Brother, you don't know this. There are grades for intermediate-level divine equipment synthesis recipes and grades for advanced-level divine equipment synthesis recipes, but there are no grades above that."

He was absolutely certain that, with Lin Yi's knowledge and experience, he would never be able to see through the trickery involved.

As expected, Lin Yi readily agreed: "I see, I was just ignorant."

"Brother, there's no need to be modest. Everyone has their own area of ​​expertise."

Xu Shaoweng then urged, "Brother, if you have no other questions, I'll start preparing to synthesize the Immortal Divine Armor. After all, it concerns the well-being of all the people of Tianjun, and everyone is waiting for it."
