Chapter 549: Four Holy Lands

Xiao Chen carefully looked around the seventh floor. Compared to the dazzling first floor, this floor looked very plain. All the treasures here had their auras withdrawn. However, if one looked carefully, one could sense a faint Spiritual Energy filling every corner of the floor.

All sorts of treasures covered the tables and shelves made of platinum-glazed jade. There were Spirit Cores from thousand-year-old Spirit Beasts and Demonic Cores from thousand-year-old Demonic Beasts. These creatures had been incredibly strong when they were alive. Even after they died and their inner cores taken out, intense energy fluctuations could be felt.

There were also rows of bookshelves filled with Cultivation Techniques and Martial Techniques for the saber. All the secret manuals were at least Earth Ranked. These were the gains of the seniors of Heavenly Saber Pavilion when they left the mountain.

When Xiao Chen continued looking, he saw several exquisite brocade boxes with Inferior Grade Spirit Gathering Pearls in them. The Heavenly Saber Pavilion used to have Martial Sages as well. It was not strange that they were able to refine Spirit Gathering Pearls.

However, the Heavenly Saber Pavilion no longer had any Martial Sages. So every time one Spirit Gathering Pearl was used, that would be one Spirit Gathering Pearl less from their savings. They could only keep these in the Hidden Treasure Pavilion.

On the weapons rack, there were ten sabers of various styles. They all glistened with a bright light. Occasionally, they gave off a strong saber light. Saber light coming out automatically was a sign of a Heaven Ranked Spirit Weapon.

When Jiang Chi noticed Xiao Chen looking at the weapons rack, he could not help but say proudly, “Xiao Chen, this are the things that our Heavenly Saber Pavilion has obtained over the years. There are ten Heaven Ranked Spirit Weapons. One of them is a Superior Grade Heaven Ranked Spirit Weapon. I can tell that your Lunar Shadow Saber is only a Superior Grade Earth Ranked Weapon; you can choose one of these.”

Use a Heaven Ranked Spirit Weapon to replace the Lunar Shadow Saber?

Xiao Chen smiled faintly and refused. What a joke! The Lunar Shadow Saber was once a Sub-Divine Weapon.

Although the Lunar Shadow Saber was only a Superior Grade Earth Ranked Spirit Weapon now, once Ao Jiao finished nouris.h.i.+ng it, it would immediately become a Heaven Ranked Spirit Weapon. In the future, as long as Xiao Chen could find the necessary materials, he would be able to restore it to a Sub-Divine Weapon.

If there was an opportunity, with Ao Jiao’s help, it might become a new Divine Weapon. How could Xiao Chen be willing to swap it out?

Jiang Chi was somewhat stunned. Clearly, he had not expected Xiao Chen to reject his offer. However, this was fine as well. Coincidentally, Murong Chong’s weapon had just been broken. It would be appropriate to give him a new weapon.

Jiang Chi immediately said, “As you wish, then. If there is anything you like here, you can take them.”

Xiao Chen was astonished. “I can take them? First Elder, aren’t you afraid that I would empty out the entire floor?”

Jiang Chi’s wrinkled face had a happy smile on it. “Ha ha! I really am not afraid of that. In fact, what I am afraid of is you taking too little. I am not afraid of you taking too much.”

In Jiang Chi’s opinion, for Xiao Chen to resist the offers of the various great sects and return to the Heavenly Saber Pavilion, that meant he was a person who repaid debts of grat.i.tude. If he took a lot of items, he would end up owing the Heavenly Saber Pavilion another favor. The bigger the favor, the greater the repayment.

Thus, Jiang Chi was not afraid that Xiao Chen would take too much. He was afraid that Xiao Chen would not be interested in these items and take too little.

Of course, it was impossible for Xiao Chen to truly empty out the floor. Finally, he took a hundred Inferior Grade Spirit Gathering Pearls, fifty thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Stones, a thousand-year-old lightning-attributed Rank 9 Demonic Core, and the secret manual for the Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique.

This Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique was a peak Earth Ranked Saber Technique. This was the Saber Technique that the Heavenly Saber Pavilion’s founder created. It was slightly weaker than the Four Season Saber Technique but stronger than the Wukui Saber Technique.

He could make the Four Season Saber Technique his trump card and use this Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique normally, to hide his true strength.

The things that Xiao Chen took were within Jiang Chi’s expectations. He smiled and said, “Come, let’s go to Jade Maiden Peak and pick some thousand-year-old Spirit Herbs.”

After they left the Hidden Treasure Pavilion, First Elder Jiang Chi waved his hand and a wars.h.i.+p descended. He smiled and said, “Let’s board!”

Xiao Chen hesitated for a moment before saying, “First Elder, you have already given me so many treasures. Let’s leave these Spirit Herbs for the other Elders and the juniors.”

Jiang Chi laughed loudly and pushed Xiao Chen up. He said, “Don’t overthink this. If you went to another sect, they would only give you even more. Like I said before, since you chose the Heavenly Saber Pavilion, we will do our best to nurture you.”

The two climbed to the deck and the wars.h.i.+p immediately soared into the sky, heading towards Jade Maiden Peak.

As the wars.h.i.+p pa.s.sed through the clouds, the wind blew strongly, making Xiao Chen’s and the First Elder’s hair flutter about.

Jiang Chi thought to himself for a while before saying, “Xiao Chen, you don’t seem understand what the Luck from the Five Nation Youth Compet.i.tion represents—or to be more precise, the value of this Luck.”

Xiao Chen was slightly stunned. He looked at Jiang Chi and said, “Would you please explain more?”

Honestly speaking, Xiao Chen really did not understand the value of Luck. So he sincerely asked Jiang Chi to explain. After all, the First Elder was someone who controlled a sect. He had to know something that Xiao Chen did not.

“Luck is something that seems ethereal, something intangible. However, it truly exists. Twenty years ago, our Heavenly Saber Pavilion was counted among the peak sects. However, we eventually suffered from a calamity. In the end, the problem would be that we did not have enough Luck.

“If there is something tangible that represents Luck, that would be the Dragon Veins!”

Dragon Veins?
