After all, it was right next to the Grade Two mind stone mine. There were also hundreds of thousands of troops and tens of Xiantian experts waiting at the side. Although Zong Shou had a 5 meridian martial ancestor Hu Zhongyuan and a peak Xiantian Zongling who was comparable to a martial ancestor by his side, he didn't fear them. However, he didn't want to cause too much trouble. He hurriedly packed up and swiftly left.
Zong Yuan drove the carriage. Following what he wanted, the carriage directly turned and headed south of the cloud continent, speeding all the way.
Hu Zhongyuan naturally settled down on the roof of the carriage. Chu Xue originally followed in, but who knows what she thought about, she suddenly became shy and ran to the roof to stay together with her uncle, Hu Zhongyuan.
Zong Shou could only occupy the carriage alone. He first took out the pill bottle that fell from the sky and opened it. Only to see that there were hundreds of red pills within. Zong Shou smelled it and scraped off some powder, placing it in his mouth to taste. Only then did his eyes reveal a look of understanding.
"So it is the ancient body washing pill of Wujue Villa! How petty. No matter what, it is the 5th shrine of the cloud world. I thought that they would at least have 3-5 human pinnacle pills … "
Curling his lips in disdain, Sōmorime's eyes flashed with joy. The medicine wasn't good, it was the best to use.
That Wujue Villa head probably noticed that his body had the essence of the lightning phoenix which was why he took out this item.
If it was a normal person, this pill wouldn't be of much use. However, it could help him cleanse his body every day and quickly merge with the Xiantian essence energy.
Following which he casually reached out and that spiritual sword appeared in his hand. Since that ancient body washing pill was given to him by Yan Fan. Then this sword naturally came from Shui Lingbo.
It was the same style as the lightning tooth sword. Holding it in his hand, Zong Shou's eyes lit up. The talisman markings were also really ordinary. The materials used might not all be of the best quality. However, when Zong Shou injected a thread of world shocking true energy into it, he instantly felt something different.
The spirit channels in his body were extremely smooth and the flow of his True Qi was not hindered at all.
The lightning that exploded from the blade was three times more powerful than the Lightning Tooth Sword he had used before!
"It's actually a Tier Two Spirit Weapon! It's really a good sword. I wonder which Weapon Refining Grandmaster made it? "
The Spiritual Formation within was obviously really normal. However, it was the ingenious combination of those talismans that raised this spiritual weapon to the upper grade of the second grade, close to the third grade.
There were a total of nine levels of spirit weapons, corresponding to spirit beasts. Actually, in grade 1 to grade 3 spiritual weapons, the spiritual formation Power carved onto them corresponded with the natural ability of beasts of the same grade. However, in the hands of an expert, the strength it could unleash was naturally different from normal beasts.
Zong Shou looked at the sword hilt again, and saw that there were three small characters engraved on it: "Sword Sculptor".
"Swordsmith? So it was made by this ancient Weapon Refining Grandmaster. Speaking of which, the rumors that Taiyuan Fairy obtained the armory of an emperor during the Cloud Desolate Era shouldn't be wrong … "
Zong Shou sighed. That fairy's luck was only lower than that of the God Emperor. If one looked closely at her life, it was pretty much smooth sailing, and she would be able to easily get past the occasional tough situation. In terms of luck, she was the best in history.
In the future, any sword that the Sword Sculptor made would be worth ten to a hundred times more, and people would treat it as a treasure.
Even in this era, it would be extremely expensive.
Zong Shou didn't have any thoughts of cherishing it, straightforwardly swapping out the original sword.
Spirit swords were refined to be used in the first place. If that Sword Sculptor knew that his sword would one day become a toy for people to admire, he would probably cry out in sadness.
However, these two Spiritual Grandmasters who stood at the peak of the Cloud World were really stingy.
The things they took out couldn't compare to what Xuanyuan Yiren gave him. The value of the bottles and jars he took out at that time was enough to be worth several times the sum of the sword and the bottle of Primordial Body Cleansing Pills.
Although he was being kept and living off of, and was looked down on by Li Yunniang and the three Xiantians of Xuan Mountain City, Zong Shou still felt really blessed.
"Next, it's this item!"
After swapping out the sword, Zong Shou's face slowly turned serious. In his hand, there were three black strawberry-like fruits. Apart from that, there were also all the petals that fell from the Darkness Blooming Cereus.
In terms of the grade of treasures, this Black Blooming Cereus was far from the Lightning Phoenix egg. However, in the eyes of spirit masters, the value of this Black Blooming Cereus wasn't much weaker than the latter.
However, he had only heard of the use of this item. There were very few spirit masters who could get Black Blooming Cereus. Those ancient records were often vague and did not describe the method of using it in detail. He himself didn't have any proper spirit master legacy which was why he had no idea.
Normally speaking, for spiritual fruits, no matter if they were poisonous or not, swallowing them was the best way …
Zong Shou was about to open his mouth when an image flashed in his mind, recalling the scene when he swallowed the essence of the Lightning Phoenix.
"My Heaven Energy Swallowing Conversion Technique can completely swallow the life mark of the Lightning Phoenix egg, so it might be able to be used here. Maybe this technique that swallows the essence energy of Heaven and Earth to make up for what the body lacks has such an effect … "
Zong Shou couldn't help but enter deep thought, thinking about it for a long while. Following which he decisively gave up on the idea of eating, holding a Black Blooming Cereus in his palm.
"Heaven Energy Swallowing Conversion Technique, absorb!"
A bright glow exploded out from his eyes as Zong Shou activated his true qi and started to absorb. Only to see a black thread follow the meridians of his arm and spread up. In just a moment, it started to split up. A portion charged into the dantian while a portion entered the Shenxiao Meridian at the center of his forehead.
Not only was the darkness essence energy extremely thick, but it was also extremely pure. The moment it entered his soul, it caused his soul ocean whirlpool to be dyed in a layer of black color.
When it reached the end of the absorption, his arm suddenly swelled up and bulged. At the same time, there was an explosion in his mind, his ears filled with a chaotic ringing sound. That whirlpool soul ocean whirlpool spun swiftly, the surrounding twelve god talismans shone brightly.
Zong Shou shook his head, quietly waiting for this change to calm down. Once the pain in his head lessened, he entered meditation once more. Then, he saw that above his soul ocean, there was a pure black flower that hadn't bloomed yet.
At first glance, it looked like the reappearance of the Darkness Blooming Cereus. However, if one looked closely, one could feel that it was a little different.
The entire flower was actually made up of numerous spiritual patterns and talismans.
"This Heaven Energy Swallowing Conversion Technique can actually swallow the source of life …"
Zong Shou was startled, unable to come back to his senses for a long time. Maybe in the last life, those people who relied on the Heaven Energy Swallowing Conversion Technique to create their own techniques to swallow the essence energy of others, and even himself, all took a wrong path.
He had probably only just opened a door to the true use of this great technique at this moment.
He also felt really surprised, why would such a heaven-defying ability be spread in that virtual world?
Those large sects, hundreds of ascended experts, none of them noticed the mysteries within?
Taking in a deep breath, Zong Shou slowly calmed down, focusing on that cereus. It was without a doubt a xiantian talisman.
At this moment, above his soul ocean, it formed something similar to a god talisman.
However, the roots of this cereus were directly connected to the deepest part of his soul ocean.
Similar to the other twelve god talisman seeds, it would absorb the soul power within his soul ocean.
However, he didn't use it to strengthen his body, instead, he wrapped it tightly within the flower bud.
Sōmorime's eyes lit up, using the energy swallowing technique to absorb the other two black cereus fruits. Such that in the center of his soul ocean, there were two more cereus.
Silently meditating, those three cereus had been nourished for close to two hours. Zong Shou had a thought and the Black Wave Sword beside him rose into the air. Like an arrow, it swiftly shot out of the window, striking towards a giant stone a thousand feet away.
"Instant Youth, Three Layer Waves!"
When the sword technique was activated, the first cereus within Zong Shou's soul ocean suddenly bloomed. The spiritual energy injected into the Black Wave Sword also suddenly increased. 3 swords in a row, one stronger than the last, slashing onto the stone, causing numerous stone shrapnel to fly up. When that black sword image flashed across. Only to see that the ten-foot thick giant stone, which required several people to wrap their arms around it, was weakened by his Black Wave Sword in one sword. Following which it spun around and returned to the front of Zong Shou.
"Along with the help of this cereus, the soul power I infused into the Black Wave Sword actually instantly increased by 5% Power! As expected, it is a good thing, what the books said wasn't exaggerated at all. No wonder those spirit masters would treat it as a top treasure. However, I can't rely on it in a short while … "
It was said that the longer this cereus was nourished and stored, the stronger the Power Power would be when it exploded out. It was pretty much limitless.
In the last life, there were Out of Body realm spirit masters who relied on the help of this flower to kill a Return to Sun realm spirit master in one strike.
Storing soul power within the flower bud, accumulating it for twenty years, directly crossing two grades and killing a Return to Sun realm expert who formed seven true spiritual talismans, shocking the entire Cloud Continent.
This item could be said to be one of the few external techniques of spirit masters that could help one to fight above their grade. As such, one could imagine how much spirit masters in the world chased after this item.
Although it couldn't increase soul power by much, it was still seen as a top treasure.
Naturally, this item wasn't without restrictions. After it exploded out, it would be like the blooming of a cereus, instantly disappearing, at most three breaths of time.
In other words, if Zong Shou's realm remained stagnant, even if he nourished it for twenty years, he would at most be able to explode out with the strength of a peak Return to Sun realm spirit master. Moreover, it would only be for nine breaths of time.
What Zong Shou cared more about was the future. Once he stepped into the day wandering realm, just the power of these three cereus would allow him to not fear normal body forming spirit masters. A life and death battle, one breath was all it took!
"Those spirit masters should have only obtained the xiantian talismans within the cereus. I used the heaven swallowing energy conversion technique to swallow and directly obtained the life source mark. Who knows what changes will happen to these three cereus? "
After observing for half a day, he still couldn't see anything different. Zong Shou could only shake his head and toss these flowers to the side. Within his soul ocean, he went all out to form talismans.
Since that day when he fought with Li Yaling, twenty consecutive days Zong Shou had been forming true spiritual talismans within his soul ocean. At this moment, it was time for him to reap the rewards. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
