Mystic item?
A flying sword?
Jiang He pointed at the Broken Nameless Sword and said, "I'll be taking that sword."
Zhou Yu appeared puzzled and said, "Jiang He, that sword is a broken sword and no different from scrap metal. It has no power, and it wouldn't have the right to be on the list of treasures if it wasn't tainted by the word 'mystic item'."
Pausing, he then smiled, "Logically speaking, the less valuable the item you choose, the happier I should be. Still, Jiang He, you've done a great service, and I can't watch you suffer because of a moment of curiosity."
Jiang He's impression of Zhou Yu improved a little at those words.
Still, Jiang He was not going to hold it against Zhou Yu for disturbing his sweet dreams.
Still, Jiang He could tell something from Zhou Yu's words, and promptly asked with a smile, "Deputy Zhou, you mentioned that the broken sword tainted by the word 'mystic item'. I'm quite curious … are mystic items like flying swords or mystic treasures?"
"Mystic items could definitely be understood as mystic treasures."
Zhou Yu nodded, but soon shook his head and mused to himself, "Still, that's just a theory. There's no conclusion as to whether that era really existed."
"Which era is that?"
Jiang He's eyes lit up. The world was becoming more interesting, and it seems that there were many secrets hidden in the long river of history waiting to be unearthed.
Even Cheng Dongfeng was energized. He smiled and said, "Assistant Zhou, I've heard my Eight Trigrams School's founding master mention this before, but he didn't say much because my cultivation was too low at the time. Since you're with Minister Wang, you must know a lot. Why don't you tell everyone about it?"
"Well, it's not really a secret to the higher-ups, so I'll tell you about it since you want to hear it."
Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Now that Qi is reviving, martial arts are flourishing, and superhumans are awakening … what about ancient times?"
"According to the records of some ancient books, as well as the research of the martial arts families and sects, about 500 or 600 years ago, martial arts were also extremely popular on Earth. Although the cultivation environment of that era was not as good as it is now, it was not much worse, so many experts were born."
"Some of those elites left legacies or cavern residences. There's evidence, and the people of the martial world call that era the Old Martial Era."
Cheng Dongfeng was an impatient person. He glared at Zhou Yu and wanted to rush him, but he was afraid that Zhou Yu would rebuke him, so he swallowed his words.
Zhou Yu raised his hand to take a sip of tea out of habit, only to realize that no tea had been brewed for him since he arrived at Jiang He's house.
Jiang He was a little embarrassed.
After all, he was a guest, and it wouldn't be good if he didn't make tea for him.
Even so, there was only Sora and Jiang He in the house, and neither of them had the habit of drinking tea. In fact, there were no tea leaves in the house, but there were drinks in the fridge, and Jiang He went to get them.
He had some doubts in his heart.
Five hundred and six hundred years ago, the cultivation environment on Earth wasn't much worse than it was now, so why did it suddenly become worse? Then, why did the spiritual energy suddenly recover?
Still, Jiang He did not ask. Instead, he opened a bottle of cola and passed it to Zhou Yu before sitting on the sofa to continue listening.
Zhou Yu took a sip of coke and said, "What about before ancient martial arts?"
"The Age of Cultivators?"
Jiang He answered, while Cheng Dongfeng chuckled. "Not the Age of Cultivators, but the Age of Qi Refinists. The ancestral master of the Eight Trigrams School once mentioned that there might have been Qi Refinists in history, but there's no way to verify it."
"That's right."
Zhou Yu added. "Some miscellaneous history books mentioned the term Qi Refinists of the Pre-Qin Dynasty, but there's no way to verify it. Many people once believed that the so-called Qi Refinists and immortal cultivators were basically myths and legends, but with the Revival of Qi in recent years, several ancient heritage sites have been excavated, and many pieces of evidence point to the existence of that era."
"Minister Wang even suspects that martial arts were born out of Qi Refinists and immortal cultivators, and the godly secret treasures refined by divine-tier elites are similar to mystic treasures and mystic items from a certain perspective."
Jiang He's face did not change.
He was not shocked by the news.
Was it that surprising?
He had already guessed it before …
"Then … is this broken nameless sword really a fragment of a mystic treasure?" Jiang He was more concerned about that. If it really was a fragment of a mystic treasure, would it be restored into a brand-new flying sword after he planted it?
Jiang He was not sure.
After all, whether his farm could plant something of this level after reaching level four was yet to be tested.
"Minister Wang brought the broken nameless sword back from the heritage site of the Huashan Sword Sect. He said that the sword tip was suspected to be a fragment of a mystic item, but did not give a definite answer." Zhou Yu did not guarantee anything, and said, "Jiang He, I've read through the list of treasures as well. There are several items that suit you very well and would help you improve the most at your current stage, such as this floral spirit …"
Jiang He declined Zhou Yu's goodwill and smiled. "Deputy Zhou, I'm actually more curious about the nameless sword. Aside from planting fruits and vegetables at home, I like to study such weird stuff. I'll take the nameless sword, and I hope that the Martial Arts Department (MAD) could deliver it to me as soon as possible."
Helpless, Zhou Yu nodded. "I won't try to dissuade you if you insist on choosing it. You'd better choose the other two treasures carefully."
Jiang He promptly closed the list of treasures.
He smiled sheepishly and said a little embarrassedly, "Deputy Zhou, could I change the other two rewards? I'm very interested in Orirocks, so I'd like to trade them for research."
"Orirocks?"
Zhou Yu's gaze twitched and he frowned. "You can't trade them. There are at least five treasures on this list that surpass Orirocks in terms of value, but there's no market for them. Most people would never sell them if they get their hands on them, and even the MAD doesn't have many of them in their collection."
Jiang He appeared a little disappointed. "Well, Deputy Zhou, do you know where I could get Orirocks? For example, have there been any heritage sites opened recently … or Secret Realms? I've heard that there might be Orirocks in the cavern residences or Secret Realms left by elites of the Ancient Martial Era. "
"There are six Secret Realms in the Hua Nation, and the five Holy Grounds each control one. The remaining one is jointly controlled and opened by multiple departments of the country, and it usually opens once every quarter. The next time it opens would be from the twentieth of October to the first of November."
Zhou Yu paused then, before lowering his voice and saying quietly, "Still, I've heard that there might be a heritage site inside Mount Dadong, and it's definitely not a low-grade one. Otherwise, the Graywolf King wouldn't have grown above rank-nine in such a short time … it's not confirmed, but the possibility is not low!"
"Aren't you talking nonsense!"
Jiang He was a little speechless.
Mount Dadong?
That's the Graywolf King's territory. Even if you're sure that there's a heritage site on Mount Dadong, would you dare to enter it?
