It wasn't Lu Ye's first time buying something from the Tian Ji Treasury, so he naturally knew how to find what he needed quickly.
A moment later, he stood in the Tian Ji Treasury, surrounded by shelves filled with Spirit Artifacts. He searched through them one by one.
There were many types of Spirit Artifacts here that could satisfy any cultivator's needs.
According to his Second Senior Sister, there was a difference between a Spirit Artifact for Imperial Artifact and a Spirit Artifact for direct combat. The former required at least three kinds of restrictions: Spirit Storage, Foundation Reinforcement, and Sharpness.
The Spirit Storage Restriction was to ensure the endurance of the Imperial Artifact. A cultivator's Spirit Qi was stored in this restriction, and it would gradually be consumed when Imperial Artifact was used.
Without this restriction, Lu Ye would have to withdraw his Spirit Artifact after a few breaths of Imperial Artifact.
As for Foundation Reinforcement and Sharpness, they were required for every Spirit Artifact. The former could strengthen the Spirit Artifact and make it harder to break, while the latter increased its damage.
After walking around, Lu Ye found it hard to make a choice. The spirit artifacts here were generally more expensive than normal spirit artifacts. For example, his Mountain Coiling Saber had nine layers of restrictions, which was the limit of a low-grade spirit artifact. It only cost 135 merit points. But if a spirit artifact was suitable for imperial equipment and had nine layers of restrictions, the price would approach 200 merit points.
It seemed that the Mountain Coiling Saber he bought back then was still considered cheap.
Just as he was about to buy one, he suddenly remembered that he didn't need to come to the Tian Ji Hall to buy it. Hua Ci should have many Spirit Artifacts.
She didn't kill many people in the Chess Sea, but with her help, Grand Heaven Alliance's cultivators killed countless enemies. Hua Ci was grateful for her contribution, so every time she cleaned up the battlefield, she would get some spoils of war.
When she returned, her mechanical wolf was full of Storage Bags. This was the result of some of the Storage Bags being gathered together. If they weren't, there would be even more Storage Bags.
After leaving the Tian Ji Treasury, Lu Ye sent a message to Hua Ci. Soon, she came over from the Cultivation Room.
"You've reached the Seventh Order?" Hua Ci looked at Lu Ye in surprise. After returning from the Chess Sea, everyone had been cultivating hard and rarely met. If it wasn't for Lu Ye's message, she wouldn't have known that Lu Ye had reached the Seventh Order.
"En. Do you have any Spirit Artifacts suitable for Imperial Artifact?"
"Yes, I have them, but they're not on me." Hua Ci turned to leave and called out, "Follow me."
He went straight to the training room.
Not long after, the two of them entered Hua Ci's personal training room side by side. Lu Ye focused his gaze and saw a large pile of storage pouches in a corner of the room. They were all brought back from the Go Sea.
"You haven't dealt with it yet."
Hua Ci said, "I saved it for you."
"What for?"
"Second Senior Sister Apprentice said that you have made great progress in the Way of Spiritual Tattoos. Maybe it won't be long before you need these storage bags."
Lu Ye was puzzled. What did his rapid progress in the way of spiritual tattoos have to do with these storage bags? Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment before coming to a realization. "Thank you for your concern."
Hua Ci took out three items from the storage pouches and handed them to Lu Ye. "The spirit tools are all inside. You can look for them yourself. I don't know what you want."
Lu Ye took it, sat down cross-legged, and began searching.
Hua Ci ignored him and began to cultivate at the side.
There were all kinds of Spirit Artifacts obtained from the Go Sea. The main reason was that Hua Ci could not take any more storage pouches in the end. The cultivators of the Haotian Alliance gathered all the Spirit Artifacts left behind by the cultivators of the Myriad Demons Ridge and put them into a storage pouch before giving them to Hua Ci.
Some of them were suitable for Imperial Artifact.
There were hundreds of Spirit Artifacts of all kinds in the three storage pouches. If Hua Ci sold all these Spirit Artifacts to the Tianji Treasure House, she would definitely get a huge number of merit points.
However, she did not lack merit points now, so she kept these Spirit Artifacts. Perhaps she could use them as rewards for her disciples in the future.
She was now the Deputy Guardian of the Jade Blood Sect. She had already gotten used to and accepted her new identity. Second Senior Sister Apprentice also treated her very well. She was also a medical cultivator. With Second Senior Sister Apprentice's guidance, she could avoid many detours. Naturally, she was willing to make some contributions to the Jade Blood Sect.
After searching for a long time, Lu Ye chose a foot-long saber from the many Spirit Artifacts.
The short saber's weight and length were very suitable. At first glance, it was obvious that it was specially used for Imperial Artifact. This short saber did not have a handle, only two sharp ends.
She did not know which Myriad Demons Ridge cultivator had left this Spirit Artifact behind. There were a total of nine restrictions. Such a Spirit Artifact would cost at least 180 merit points or more in the Tianji Treasure House.
Among the nine restrictions, two of them were for Spirit Storage, three were for strengthening the saber, and two were for increasing the damage of the Spirit Artifact. Lu Ye did not know what the last two restrictions were, but they were definitely for increasing the power of the Imperial Artifact.
"Choose a few more. I heard that if you have enough control over your Spirit Qi, you can control several Spirit Artifacts at the same time," Hua Ci reminded Lu Ye when she saw that Lu Ye had chosen.
"I'll practice first. I'll come to you when I need it."
"Okay, I can't run away anyway."
"Why do you sound like someone has tied you up?"
"Who knows?"
…
Walking out of Hua Ci's Cultivation Room, Lu Ye entered his own Cultivation Room and poured his Spirit Qi into the short saber.
This short saber was different from the Pan Mountain Saber. Lu Ye had bought the Pan Mountain Saber from the Tianji Treasure House. It was an ownerless item and could be used as soon as he obtained it.
However, this short saber originally belonged to a Myriad Demons Ridge cultivator. Even though that cultivator had died, he had left many traces of himself on this short saber. Simply put, this short saber had already adapted to its previous owner's Spirit Qi. If someone else rashly activated it, they might not be able to display its full power.
What Lu Ye needed to do now was to use his Spirit Qi to nourish it and let it adapt to his Spirit Qi. Only then could he display the full power of this short saber.
This was the case when Lu Ye obtained the Nine Stars Sect's Young Master's Spirit Artifact Small Bell. At first, he had no way to activate the Small Bell's power. Later, with the guidance of a Tianji Business Alliance locksmith, he slowly figured it out.
Therefore, in a battle, it was useless to casually pick up someone else's Spirit Artifact. Only one's own was the best.
With Lu Ye's current Seventh-Order cultivation and the purity of his Spirit Energy, it didn't take him long to nurture a Spirit Artifact. After only half a day, the hiltless dagger had transformed into a stream of light under Lu Ye's control and was flying around the cultivation room nimbly.
Lu Ye was in tears …
After stumbling around for a while, he finally found the correct way to operate his Spirit Artifact.
The Cultivation Room was too small to operate, so Lu Ye walked out. Soon, a whistling sound came from outside the Cultivation Room.
Lu Ye found that he could operate his Spirit Artifact for a range of about three hundred and fifty metres, which surprised him. Generally speaking, a Seventh Order cultivator's Spirit Artifact would not exceed three hundred metres.
This five metre range was not to be underestimated. If Lu Ye fought with an enemy's Spirit Artifact, his attack range was five metres higher than that of a cultivator of the same level, allowing him to take the initiative and control the rhythm of the battle.
Moreover, the speed of his Spirit Artifact seemed to be much faster than that of an average Seventh Order cultivator. In the Chess Sea, he had seen too many Seventh Order cultivators use their Spirit Artifact to kill enemies. Comparing the two, he quickly discovered his own advantage.
His Spirit Artifact could operate farther than others, faster than others, and even stronger than others. As a result, Lu Ye didn't even need to make a move to kill a cultivator of the same level.
Many disciples were attracted by the movement here and ran over to watch. Watching the stream of light fly by, they all cheered in envy.
Suddenly, a rumbling sound came from the horizon, and the sky was covered with dark clouds and lightning.
Lu Ye put away the stream of light and waved his hand, "It's raining, let's disperse."
Turning around, he walked into the Cultivation Room.
Right now, he had reached the minor accomplishment stage in Spirit Artifact Manipulation, but this method of killing enemies still needed to be tested in actual combat. Don't look at how fancy Spirit Artifact Manipulation was when he was cultivating, if it couldn't be used in actual combat, it would be meaningless.
Lu Ye prepared to enter the Mirage Realm.
Taking out the core of the Breath Fruit, he entered the small room, spent fifty merit points, opened the door, and walked into the fog.
As soon as he stood still, the fog began to roll, and a large insect comparable to Lu Ye's cultivation rushed out of the fog.
However, just as it appeared, a stream of light suddenly swept over and passed through the insect's body without any hindrance, leaving behind a spray of green blood.
The aggressive insect fell to the ground as soon as it appeared.
Lu Ye raised his eyebrows. The Spirit Artifact Manipulation was indeed useful. It was much easier than using the Mountain Coiling Saber.
The fog to his left and right rolled again, and two more insects rushed out. Just like before, one of them was killed as soon as it rushed out, and the other only managed to run two steps.
The stream of light flashed, and the insects were killed one after another. By the fourth level, it was too late to rely on Spirit Artifact Manipulation alone. No matter how fast Spirit Artifact Manipulation was, there was a limit. These insects weren't slow, so Lu Ye used the Mountain Coiling Saber to kill the insects that rushed in front of him.
By the time he reached the fifth level, the short saber's Spirit Energy was exhausted. Lu Ye took it back before it ran out and fought with the Mountain Coiling Saber.
A moment later, in the cultivation room, Lu Ye opened his eyes with a pale face. Just now, he had only reached the eighth level before he was killed by the insects.
There was a big difference between a Seventh Order insect and a Sixth Order insect. The increase in strength was very obvious, and it was the same for cultivators. Without mentioning anything else, the addition of Spirit Artifact Manipulation would greatly increase a cultivator's overall strength.
Although he hadn't even reached the ninth stage, Lu Ye wasn't dissatisfied. He had only broken through to the Seventh-Order a few days ago and had only just begun cultivating his Imperial Artifact Technique. One had to know that before this, he had only reached the fifth stage, but now that he had an Imperial Artifact, he was able to reach the eighth stage, an obvious improvement.
If he had two or even three Spirit Artifacts, Lu Ye felt that he might be able to break through the ninth level. At that time, he would be able to fight the cultivators in the fog.
He still had to go to Hua Ci and get a few more suitable Spirit Artifacts. When he was using Spirit Artifact Manipulation just now, he felt like he could handle it with ease, so he should be able to use one more Spirit Artifact. This was the benefit of having enough control over one's Spirit Energy.
Thunder rumbled outside, as if it was going to rain.
Suddenly, the Battlefield Imprint moved. Lu Ye checked it and found that it was a message from his Fourth Senior Brother. It was only a simple sentence, "Little Junior Brother, be careful. The insect tide is coming!"
