There was still a day before the fleet set sail. Lu Qingshan did not wait around and brought the Western Rat King to stroll around Cerulean Wave City.
Before leaving the Zhenjiang Prefecture, Dantai Qingrun and Lu Zhou each gave him a storage pouch.
Lu Zhou was very simple and crude. There was nothing in the storage pouch other than spirit stones, but there was a lot of them.
As for Dantai Qingrun, she was very particular. She stored two jade slips in the storage pouch.
One of the jade slips was the method of the Five Elements Sword Armor.
It was a male armor and a female armor.
The Five Elements Sword Armor and Dantai Qingrun's Golden Sword Robe were top-notch defensive techniques of the same origin.
However, unlike the Golden Sword Robe, the Five Elements Sword Armor included the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. It was more complete and powerful, but it was also more difficult to cultivate.
This was because the Five Elements Sword Armor could be considered as five types of techniques.
The sword armor was also one of the five elements. However, the materials required to cultivate the sword armor were very expensive and it required a lot of energy. In addition, it required a lot of contribution points to exchange for the complete Five Elements Sword Robe technique. As a result, Dantai Qingrun could only choose the Golden Sword Robe technique, which was the most widely applicable among the Five Elements Sword Robe techniques.
Lu Qingshan contributed greatly to the Corpse Puppet Rebellion. He was actually given the complete Five Elements Sword Armor technique by Zhishou Tower, which even the Golden Elixir Daoist could not possess.
How could Lu Qingshan not cultivate such a top-notch defensive technique?
However, the Five Elements Sword Armor was different from ordinary techniques. It required additional spiritual materials to cultivate.
After leaving the Zhenjiang Prefecture, Lu Qingshan traveled thousands of miles. First, he passed through various prefectures in Qingzhou. Along the way, he used the Teleportation Formation to cross Yue Prefecture. Finally, he arrived at Jian Prefecture, where Cerulean Wave City was located.
Along the way, every time he arrived at a new city, he would enter the city to search for the supplementary spiritual materials needed to purchase the Five Elements Sword Armor.
He had spent most of the spirit stones that Lu Zhou had given him, but in the end, he still hadn't managed to gather all the spirit materials needed to craft a sword armor of any attribute.
As a coastal city, Blue Wave City's water element spiritual energy was naturally far superior to the other four elements. Correspondingly, whether it was the type, quality, or price of water element spiritual materials, it was also superior to inland areas.
Lu Qingshan was hoping that he would be able to gather all the spirit materials he needed to craft the Water Elemental Sword Armor in such a place.
Even if it was just the initial form of the Water Sword Armor, it already required 18 types of Water Elemental Grade Three spiritual materials and one type of Water Elemental Grade Four spiritual material.
Lu Qingshan had already collected 16 out of the 18 Tier 3 spiritual materials. Now, he was only missing the remaining two Tier 3 spiritual materials and the only Tier 4 spiritual material.
Generally speaking, fourth-grade spiritual materials were the main materials used by Nascent Soul cultivators to refine magic tools.
In terms of the cultivation cost, the Five Elements Sword Armor was originally a suitable technique for Golden Elixir sword cultivators to practice.
Fortunately, Lu Qingshan's financial resources were strong, even more so than the average Golden Elixir Daoist. It was enough to support him to start practicing the Five Elements Sword Armor in the Foundation Establishment stage.
…
Blue Wave City's Da Xia Kingdom Trading Company could only be described as extraordinarily luxurious when compared to the other Da Xia Kingdom trading companies in other prefectural cities. The building was several hundred feet tall and was decorated with a majestic aura.
Lu Qingshan strolled into the entrance of the Da Xia Kingdom Trading Company. Immediately, a pretty blue-robed maid greeted him with a smile.
"I need a standard Tier 3 water element spiritual material, Mysterious Water Jade, 300 grams or more of Blue Wave Root, and 100 grams or more of Sea Blue Marrow, a Tier 4 water element spiritual material," Lu Qingshan said straightforwardly.
"The spiritual materials of Tier 3 and above are on the third floor. Please follow me." The maid led Lu Qingshan to the third floor.
The moment Lu Qingshan stepped into the third floor, he felt an inexplicable fluctuation of spiritual energy in the air.
There were all kinds of arrays here. If someone dared to behave atrociously here, these arrays would immediately activate with a thunderous force and strangle the person who behaved atrociously.
The maid walked to the side of an old man on the third floor and whispered a few words to him.
The old man nodded. He stood up and said to Lu Qingshan, "Young Master, please wait for a moment."
Lu Qingshan indicated that he understood.
The old man walked towards the inside of the third floor and returned with three jade boxes in a short while. He handed them over to Lu Qingshan and explained, "Mysterious Water Jade and Blue Wave Root are not considered rare items in Jadewave City. Their prices are also 15% cheaper than elsewhere.
However, Sea Blue Marrow is different. It has always been an excellent spiritual material for refining water element magical tools.
Even here, it is in a state of shortage all year round. Young Master's luck is good. Recently, our company has purchased a new batch of Sea Blue Marrow. Otherwise, we would not have been able to meet Young Master's needs.
However, Sea Blue Marrow is a spiritual material in high demand. We cannot give Young Master a discount in terms of price. "
Lu Qingshan opened the jade box. An incomparably rich water element spiritual energy rushed out. It was as if one was in the middle of a wave. The blue crystal was transparent and looked like a magnificent liquid.
This was Sea Blue Marrow.
Lu Qingshan's heart stirred.
He did not expect it to be so smooth. He had only gone to Da Xia Kingdom and the company had already gathered the last three spiritual materials missing for the Water Elemental Sword Armor.
This meant that he could start refining the Water Elemental Sword Armor.
Lu Qingshan said happily, "It should be like this. The price is not a problem. I want all three of these spiritual materials."
After almost emptying his remaining savings and paying a huge sum of spirit stones that would make even a Golden Elixir Daoist feel pained, Lu Qingshan left Da Xia Kingdom's company with the three spiritual materials in satisfaction.
… …
Lu Qingshan's fleet set off early the next morning. The fleet consisted of nine large ships made up of thousands of materials. The merchant ships were extremely deep in the water because most of the goods they were transporting were food. Only a small part of the goods were tea leaves, lacquer, spices, and other rare items.
Because of their generosity, Lu Qingshan was arranged to stay in the most luxurious cabin. Not only was it spacious and bright, but the service was also very considerate.
The direction of the wind on the sea often changed. There were tailwinds, but headwinds were not uncommon. However, for a wooden sailboat that relied on wind power to move, it was not the headwinds that worried the ships, but the lack of wind.
When there was a headwind, as long as the ship was controlled to move in a zigzag pattern, the headwind would turn into a crosswind. The stronger the wind, the faster the ship would move.
According to the ship captain's many years of experience, it would take more than a month to reach the Sea God Islands from departure.
This period of time was not considered long for Lu Qingshan, and he just happened to have something to do.
Refining the Water Elemental Sword Armor.
The Five Elemental Sword Armor was extremely special. It was half a magic tool and half a spell. Lu Qingshan could not directly use experience to master this spell. He could only spend hard work and slowly refine it.
It was worth mentioning that during the three months of rushing, he had relied on the Sword Manipulation Technique for most of the journey. Under such frequent use, his Sword Manipulation Technique, which was originally at Lv.1, had naturally risen to Lv.5.
The speed of the skill's leveling seemed a little exaggerated, but it was not because the Sword Manipulation Technique was too simple. It was because Lu Qingshan's innate sword seed had given him an extraordinary talent in the way of the sword.
If an ordinary swordsman wanted to raise the Sword Manipulation Technique from Lv.1 to Lv.5, it would definitely take seven to eight years of hard work.
With the help of the innate sword seed, Lu Qingshan's mastery of sword skills had reached an extremely exaggerated level.
In the way of the sword, talent was more important than hard work.
