157 Chapter 157 Blooming Cereus Mark (1/2)
They were still close to that Grade Two mind stone mine. There were also hundreds of thousands of troops and scores of Xiantian experts waiting nearby. Zong Shou had a five meridian Earth Chakra level expert in Hu Zhongyuan and a peak Xiantian, Zong Ling, who was like normal Martial Ancestors and wasn't that worried, he still didn't wish to attract more trouble. He hurriedly stowed his things and left swiftly.
Zong Yuan was in charge of driving the carriage, and following his guidance, the carriage slowly turned to the south and hurried away.
Hu Zhongyuan naturally stayed on the roof of the carriage as a guard while Chuxue originally followed him into the carriage. However, who knew what she thought about, she suddenly felt ashamed and guilty and ran up to the roof to stick together with her uncle.
Zong Shou could only occupy the entire carriage on his own. He first took out that pill bottle which fell from the sky, seeing hundreds of red pills inside. Zong Shou took a sniff, scraping off some powder and tasting it. A look of shock appeared in his eyes.
”So it's the Wujue Villa's Desolate Body Washing Pill! How stingy! They are no matter what the Fifth Shrine in the Cloud World, I thought I could at least get three to five Human Pinnacle Pills...”
He licked his lips in disdain, but joy flashed in his eyes. A medicine was good not if it's quality was high, but if it was suitable!
Probably that Wujue Villa head noticed that his body had the Lightning Phoenix Essence, which was why he took out this item. If it were normal people, this pill wouldn't have much effect. But it could help him wash his body every day and quickly merge with that Xiantian Essence energy.
He reached out with his hand and picked up that spiritual sword. Since that Desolate Body Washing Pill was given by Yan Fan, then this sword naturally came from Shui Lingbo.
It too looked similar to the Lightning Tooth Sword, his eyes lit up as he held it in his hands. Those runes and carvings were ordinary and the materials used weren't the top ones. But when Zong Shou injected a bid of world-shocking true energy in, he immediately noticed the difference.
The spiritual veins within were really smooth and when true qi moved within there were no obstructions at all. The lightning that exploded out from the sword was triple that of his previous Lightning Tooth Sword!
”It actually is a Grade Two Spiritual Weapon! What a good sword, who knows which artifact refiner Grandmaster this came from?”
The spiritual formation within was ordinary, but the exquisite combination of these talismans had raised this Spiritual Weapon to high Grade Two, close to Grade Three.
Spiritual Weapons had a total of nine grades, like those spiritual beasts. Once one reached Grade Three, the strength of the spiritual formation carved within was as remarkable as a spirit beast of the same rank. However, in the hands of experts, the amount of strength that could be exerted was naturally different from that of normal beasts.
Zong Shou took a look at the handle of the sword, only to see on it was carved three small words: Sword Sculpting Master.
”Sword Sculpting Master? So it was refined by this ancient artifact refiner. It seems like the rumours that Taiyuan Fairy had obtained a certain emperor dynasty's treasury from the Ancient Cloud Desolate Era wasn't false...”
Zong Shou couldn't help but take in a deep breath; that Fairy's luck was only below that of the God Emperor. Studying what happened to her, it was as smooth as water; the challenges she faced were all easily passed. In terms of fortune, she was the top from the past to the future.
In the future, any appearance of a sword crafted by the Sword Sculpting Master was worth tens and hundreds of times more than a normal sword, seen by people as precious treasures.
Even in this era, it was probably similarly expensive.
Zong Shou didn't bother cherishing it and switched the sword he was using without any reluctance.
Weapons made by spiritual refiners were meant to be used. If that weapon sculpting master knew that his sword would be admired as toys by people he would probably tear up in sadness.
However these two Spiritual Grandmasters who stood at the peak of the Cloud World weren't ordinarily stingy.
The gifts they took out actually couldn't be compared to Xuanyuan Yiren's parting gift. Those pill bottles and cans she took out were worth many times the overall value of this sword and those pills.
Although he was despised by Li Yunniang and those three Xiantian Masters from Xuan Mountain City for being helped by a woman and depending on her, Zong Shou still felt really fortunate.
”Next would be this item!”
After changing his sword, Zong Shou's expression became serious. In his hand were three strawberry-shaped black fruits. Apart from that were all the petals that fell off the Darkness Blooming Cereus.
In terms of value, this Darkness Blooming Cereus was far worse than the Lightning Phoenix egg. However, in the eyes of spirit masters, it was not that much worse...
The use of this item was barely decent to him. Spirit masters who were able to get the fruit were really rare. Those books were often not specific and never described its proper use. He also didn't have any proper teachings from any spirit master, which was why he was totally at a loss.
Normally speaking, such fruit-like items were best swallowed to test if they were poisonous or not.
Just as he was about to open his mouth, a scene flashed across his head as he remembered what happened when he swallowed the Lightning Phoenix egg's Essence.
”My Heaven Swallowing Energy Conversion Technique can completely swallow the life mark of the Lightning Phoenix, so maybe it could be used here. Maybe this technique, which was meant to swallow Essence energy of Heaven and Earth and harm Heaven and Earth to make up for what is lacking was used in such a way...”
