Chapter 674: Chapter 294: Tier-2 High-Grade Artifact Refiner
“Brother, we’re all here with Junior Martial Uncle Li Xiao. Have you come out yet? If so, come over quickly.”
This sudden communication startled Ji Yuan awake. He had just been assigned tasks and hadn’t even paid respects to his own uncle yet!
To be honest, given the current state of affairs in the world, one really had to rely on fellow sect members when traveling.
“Just came out, heading there now.”
After saying this, Ji Yuan didn’t even step out the door; he immediately performed the Shadow-following Technique and vanished.
In just a few breaths, he appeared outside a residence within the Alchemy Square. This residence didn’t have Hunting Owl Zhenren’s private plaque but instead bore the emblem of the Water Dragon Sect.
This naturally made Ji Yuan develop a certain fondness for Junior Martial Uncle Li Xiao.
Well… although he had previously struck Li Xiao’s disciple, and nearly killed him,
Li Xiao did not pursue the matter, so Ji Yuan naturally held no grudges.
On the path of cultivation, there’s no need to be petty like this.
Being a Core Formation Cultivator, holding onto such trivial issues is unnecessary.
Even before Ji Yuan could call out, he heard Hunting Owl Zhenren’s voice in his mind, “Just come in directly.”
Ji Yuan walked into the room and soon met the fellow sect members from the Alchemy Square.
One was Hunting Owl Zhenren, a Golden Core mid-stage cultivator, along with 10 Foundation Establishment cultivators, ranging from initial Foundation Establishment to Fake Pill cultivators. Seeing their familiar Spirit Robes and the familiar aura of Water Techniques,
Ji Yuan, traveling far from home, felt a sense of “locals”.
Hunting Owl Zhenren Wang Er was tall, dressed in a thunder and lightning purple robe, exuding a natural aura of imposing authority without anger. Upon seeing Ji Yuan arrive, he turned and said:
“Alright, the Isle Master Wuyou is also here, so let’s discuss our internal arrangements in the Water Dragon Sect.”
“…”
Unlike Ice and Fire Elder’s few words,
The matter opened by Hunting Owl Zhenren regarding internal affairs was extremely thorough, so everyone sat together, discussing for nearly an hour before dispersing.
If the Alchemy Square was breached, decisions on escaping were made,
while minor details like who was responsible for Flying Sword Communication for the sect were also covered.
After an hour.
Ji Yuan returned to his own Cave Mansion with a dozen Communication Talismans.
Upon returning, he activated two arrays and several restrictions, then took out a long whip still radiating heat from his Storage Bag.
During the earlier encounter, Ji Yuan only thought about how to deal with Fire Python Zhenren, so he hadn’t closely examined his magical treasure.
Now, holding it, he realized that this long whip was unlike ordinary rope whips, with refined scales akin to those of the Fire Python.
In the hand, it felt less like a whip and more like… a snake.
Ji Yuan didn’t scrutinize it further, grasped it, and immediately began refining.
Soon, information about the long whip surfaced in his mind… its name was the Crimson Wave Whip, with a surface crafted from the most hardened scales of the Tier Three Demon Beast, the Crimson Chain Snake.
Its core was derived from countless spiritual wood roots, expertly woven by Tier Three Spirit Weaver over ten years.
After feeling the whip, Ji Yuan understood why the Crimson Wave Whip could penetrate the Heaven-cutting Sword formed by nine swords united.
Firstly, it was the lifebound magical treasure driven by a Golden Core Zhenren.
Secondly, the Crimson Wave Whip was indeed powerful.
Among lifebound magical treasures of the Core Formation Realm, his own Canglan Sword was mighty; why should other’s magical treasures be weak?
Everyone attained their realm and strength through diligent cultivation, his cultivation time was even shorter than theirs, it doesn’t follow that logic.
Hmm… except for Mountain of Mind and Heart.
Since the magical treasure was obtained after establishing it, cultivators without it naturally couldn’t compare.
Unless encountering another cultivator who had also established it.
Finally, Ji Yuan refined the Crimson Wave Whip a bit and stored it back in the Storage Bag.
To master its use thereafter, some extensive refining and practice would be needed.
Especially since Ji Yuan wasn’t skilled in whip techniques; he excelled at sword techniques… he was somewhat alright with rod techniques too.
Subsequently, Ji Yuan retrieved the Storage Bag given by Fire Python Zhenren upon his passing, his Divine Sense swept through it.
For Ji Yuan, it brought some joy, but not much.
Because the treasures within the Storage Bag matched Ji Yuan’s expectations for a Golden Core Zhenren but didn’t exceed them.
There weren’t many Spirit Stones, totaling only around 6,000 Mid-grade Spirit Stones.
However, there were quite a few other items.
As any sensible cultivator wouldn’t keep too many Spirit Stones in their Storage Bag.
As long as it maintained daily cultivation needs, it’s enough.
Beyond the Spirit Stones, there were no magical treasures except the Crimson Wave Whip.
There was, however, a top-grade Spiritual Artifact, one that Ji Yuan required—an Attack Spiritual Artifact.
With a thought, Ji Yuan took it out.
It turned out to be a common flying saber magical treasure—a Willow Leaf Flying Saber named Fire Willow.
This was somewhat unsatisfactory to Ji Yuan since most materials were of the fire element, suitable for Fire Cultivators.
For Ji Yuan, an Ice Cultivator, its effectiveness was slightly lacking.
But for daily use, it wasn’t much of an issue, as all were driven by spiritual artifacts.
If one encounters an opponent that the Fire Willow Flying Saber couldn’t handle, he’d long use the Heaven-cutting Sword united by nine swords or summon Celestial Silkworm Zhenren.
After refining slightly, he drove the flying saber to circle the room a few times.
Driven by ice spiritual qi, its path left a red and blue trail, quite pleasing to the eye.
It should coincide well with Ice and Fire Elder.
Just then, a flash of spiritual light suddenly illuminated Ji Yuan’s mind.
It was as if he had caught some secret, a significant secret.
