Chapter 48 - 38: Ice Soul Cold Chi Sword i
Twenty-eight Medium-grade Spirit Stones!
Over two hundred Lower-grade Spirit Stones!
A tier three flying sword!
A tier three defensive Magic Artifact!
Two tier two Vestment Robes!
A dozen tier two and three Talismans!
Seven or eight bottles of tier two and three Pills!
A Sword Box made of cold ironl unopened]!
“No wonder he comes from a major family, he’s really rich!” Xu Mu exclaimed.
Not to mention anything else, just these twenty-odd Medium-grade Spirit Stones have already surpassed ninety-nine percent of the Qi Cultivation Stage.
As for the tier three Magic Sword and the tier three defensive Magic Artifact, they are not things that an ordinary Qi Cultivation Stage could afford.
The tier three defensive Magic Artifact in particular, even if you have Spirit Stones in White Stone City, you might not necessarily be able to buy one.
The three Qi Cultivation Late Stage cultivators he just killed were only using tier two defensive Magic Artifacts.
The only regrettable thing is that the defensive Magic Artifact was forcibly broken, and many Formations inside have been damaged, although it can still be used, its defensive power is only of the tier two Magic Artifact level.
After organizing these scattered items, Xu Mu began to study the cold iron Sword Box.
Cold iron itself is a very good refining material, such a large piece of cold iron, even if it is used to refine a tier two Magic Artifact, there would be no problem.
Now it is luxuriously used to make a Sword Box, which shows how precious the things inside are.
“Huh? There are words on it!
Xu Mu, who was about to open it, noticed a line of small characters engraved in the center of the Sword Box.
“Ice Soul Cold Chi Sword!”
“Made with Deep Sea Marrow Silver and Dark Moon Black Iron, it contains a thirty-six-layer Ice Soul Cold Light Great Array and a hundred years old Cold Chi Spirit!”
“Thirty-six layers of Formation!! And a Monster beast Spirit! Is this real?”
Seeing the introduction above, Xu Mu’s heart was like the turning of rivers and seas.
Just by looking at the cold iron Sword Box, Xu Mu knew that the things inside were not simple, but he did not expect them to be so exaggerated.
Because if what is introduced above is true, then there might be a tier five Spirit Sword inside.
Anything above tier four, including tier four Magic Artifacts, are collectively referred to as Spiritual Artifacts.
The Formations engraved in a Spiritual Artifact are no longer scattered individual Formations, but a complete set of Forbidden Large Array.
In order to increase power, often in the forging process, a same attribute Monster Beast Spirit will be sealed in.
And the Monster Beasts that can give birth to Spirits are at the very least in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
The power of a Spiritual Artifact is calculated by the number of superimposed Formations, the more superimposed Formations, the more powerful it naturally is.
As far as he knows, the weakest tier four spirit sword also needs to superimpose eighteen layers of formation, although it seems that the number of formations is similar to the tier three Magic Artifact, but the two’s construction methods are completely different, and their power is worlds apart.
If a suitable Monster beast Spirit is sealed in, then the difference would be even bigger!
Therefore, Spiritual Artifacts are extremely valuable!
No matter whether it’s during the Qi Cultivation Stage or many of the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators, they do not have a suitable Spiritual Artifact in their hands.
A spiritual artifact with thirty-six layers of forbidden formations already belongs to tier five among spiritual artifacts, and is much more valuable than tier four.
No wonder the other party is willing to use cold iron to make a Sword Box.
Compared to a tier-five Spirit Sword, cold iron is indeed only fit to be a Sword Box.
If this is sold, Xu Mu could become rich overnight.
But all of this is based on the premise that there is a tier five Magic Artifact inside.
Otherwise, it would be a false celebration!
Xu Mu, who was originally somewhat casual, suddenly became anxious.
He placed his hand on it, injecting Spiritual Power into the Sword Box, and unlocked the outer seal Formation.
A flash of light flickered on the Sword Box, and the seal automatically unlocked itself.
As Xu Mu slowly opened it, a faint white cold current surged out from inside, touching Xu Mu’s arm.
“Hiss!
Xu Mu couldn’t help but shiver.
It felt like he put his hand in an ice hole on a frosty winter day.
You must know that it’s summer now, with the lowest temperature being over twenty degrees, let alone that he has successfully refined his body, his resistance to cold is far more than the average Qi Cultivation cultivator.
But now, just a wisp of air has made him feel cold.
Xu Mu’s heart became increasingly excited, his heart beating wildly, as if it would jump out of his chest.
There might really be something inside!
He took a deep breath and fully opened the Sword Box.
Roar!
A longsword emitting a white cold aura appeared in his sight.
The sword was three feet long, the blade thin and broad, like the wings of a cicada, the body of the sword was silvery white, reflecting images as clear as a mirror, with white mist constantly steaming from it.
At the same time, there was a faint sound of a beast’s roar continuously coming from the body of the sword, causing an inexplicable palpitation.
Xu Mu did not sense much from this sword, the usual sharpness of a flying sword. Instead, there was a bone-chilling coldness, from inside to outside.
It’s as if one has entered an ice cave, causing one to shiver all over!
The temperature of the entire room dropped by more than ten degrees as soon as the Sword Box opened, as if they were suddenly back in early spring.
He quickly circulated the Spiritual Power within his body, forming a protective light around his body, thus preventing his body from freezing stiff.
“This is absolutely a tier five Spiritual Artifact, otherwise it wouldn’t have such a great power!”
Feeling the power emanating from the longsword, Xu Mu’s eyes were filled with ecstasy.
He hadn’t expected his luck to be this good. Just by casually cutting down a mid-stage Qi Cultivation cultivator, he had obtained a precious Grade 5 Spiritual Sword.
This was like walking outside, seeing a piece of paper on the ground, picking it up nonchalantly, and discovering that it was a lottery ticket worth a hundred million.
Of course, the real situation was definitely not that simple.
If his strength wasn’t sufficiently strong, the young man from the Song family alone would have been a handful to deal with, let alone the three late-stage Qi Cultivation ones that followed.
If you’re strong, you’re considered fortunate!
If you’re not strong, it’s considered your misfortune!
He picked up the Ice Soul Cold Chi Sword and lightly swung it.
A burst of white icy Sword Qi, with a swish, burst from the blade!
Thud!
A crack was cut into the wall.
Around the crack was shimmering and transparent ice crystals.
“Is this a built-in skill?”
He didn’t exert any strength at all, but the power of this white Sword Qi was already equivalent to a tier one ice element skill.
“Indeed a grade 5 spiritual artifact!”
Xu Mu was eager to refine it.
Although the attributes of this sword didn’t match his, even a simple excitation was enough to elevate his strength by one level.
However, after only a test, he discovered he couldn’t refine it.
Inside this sword, a powerful cold current was being released all the time. He was already struggling just to resist it with his spiritual power. If he tries to forcefully refine it, he might trigger the soul of the Cold Chi, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
“No wonder that guy didn’t use it. So, he couldn’t use it!
Xu Mu thought of the young man he had fought with.
If the opponent had used this Ice Soul Cold Chi Sword at that time, it would have been almost impossible for him to defeat him.
“It’s highly likely that even a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Cultivation can’t refine this Ice Soul Cold Chi Sword. Otherwise, it should have been kept within the Song Family, for the experts in the family to use it!”
In yesterday’s big battle, if the Song family’s experts had such a Spirit Sword, although they might not have turned defeat into victory, their chances of escaping would have increased significantly.
As for why the Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Song family didn’t take this sword away, it was probably because the attributes didn’t match.
The Sword Jue that the Song family cultivated was a standardised fire attribute Sword Jue.
Of course, it could also be that they didn’t lack this type of Spirit Sword.
Unlike the Loose Cultivators, the Song family was, after all, a well-established Foundation Establishment family, controlling the White Stone City for so many years, it’s pretty common to have some family wealth.
This sword ended up in Xu Mu’s hands, perhaps due to various coincidences and reasons. But no matter what, the sword belongs to him now.
“This sword cannot be refined. If it falls into the hands of an ordinary Qi Cultivation cultivator, it would be a wasted effort, and it might even invite their death!”
“But for me, who has practiced Thunderbolt Sword Skill and has reached the Marrow Refining level in Body Refinement, it’s undoubtedly a divine artifact I can simply take it and hack people with it!”
“Even if I can’t infuse Spiritual Power to increase its strength, just relying on the power of the Ice Soul Cold Chi Sword itself, it entirely crushes a regular tier-three magical sword!”
Unable to refine it was slightly regrettable, but for Xu Mu, it was still a great surprise, enough to boost his swordsmanship to the next level.
“Once my Light Body Skill reaches the Grandmaster level, along with this Ice Soul Cold Chi Sword, I should be able to kill a Foundation Establishment cultivator, right?”
Xu Mu put away the Ice Soul Cold Chi Sword and excitedly thought.
To defeat a Foundation Establishment cultivator with his mid-stage Qi Cultivation strength, this achievement should be enough to make him famous forever, spreading his name for a thousand years.
Unfortunately, Xu Mu didn’t like showing off, even if he really had such strength, he wouldn’t challenge a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger!
Wasn’t this more fun?
Originally, reaching the Grandmaster level with the tier-three Fire-controlling Skill already gave him a good amount of confidence for the upcoming wilderness journey, now obtaining the Ice Soul Cold Chi Sword, his confidence had grown even stronger.
“Perhaps, 1 don’t need to follow the Chi family. 1 might be able to take Ying Ying and Ling’er and cross this wilderness on our own to reach the Liyang Sect, which is thousands of miles away!”
Xu Mu suddenly felt a little more interested.
Leaving with the Chi family to Liyang Sect would surely subject him to their constraints, but if he went alone, there would be far less trouble.
His strength might not be enough to defeat a great Foundation Establishment cultivator, but with Compressed Fireball, dealing with tier four Monstrous Beasts of the Foundation Establishment stage should not be a problem.
Monstrous Beasts are intelligent, but not very much so, and their attacks are relatively simple, making them easy prey to the Compressed Fireball.
Just as he was mulling over these thoughts, a knock came from outside the house.
“Master, it’s almost time. Shall we set off now?”
Oh! Alright!”
Just as Xu Mu was about to step out, he suddenly remembered that he still had one of Li Moqing’s storage bags to open.
“You guys get ready and wait for me at the door!”
Xu Mu shouted out, halted his steps and opened up Li Moqing’s storage bag.
A set of lower-grade offensive magic artifacts!
Fifty-one Lower-grade Spirit Stones!
Two bottles of Qi Gathering Pills!
“Hm? What’s this?
Xu Mu took out a thumb-sized black magic artifact. After injecting Spiritual Power into it, it would vibrate vigorously.
Depending on the amount of Spiritual Power input, he could also adjust its frequency.
Additionally, it’s of the thunder attribute and could discharge thunderbolts.
Xu Mu was completely baffled, so he put it back for now.
He then took out several pieces of clothing, all of which were very strangely sewn, even leaving the crotch area open.
Just as Xu Mu was studying them carefully, Ye Yingying’s voice rang out from outside again. Xu Mu hastily put his things away and stepped out..
