Chapter 864 - 119: Mysterious Sword Path Powerhouse

"Thank you, Brother Fang, for saving my life!"

After killing Xu Siyuan, Lu Feng once again solemnly bowed to Lin Chen and, not waiting for Lin Chen to respond, said earnestly, "To thank Brother Fang for saving my life, this Hundred Objects Box of mine belongs to Brother Fang. I hope Brother Fang will accept it."

Lin Chen looked at Lu Feng, receiving the Hundred Objects Box meant that Lu Feng was giving him all of his possessions.

And Lu Feng made this decision, likely influenced by Xu Siyuan’s tempting words just now.

Would accepting this Hundred Objects Box seem excessive?

Of course not!

If it weren’t for himself, Lu Feng would already be dead, and everything on him would have fallen into Xu Siyuan’s hands. In fact, according to Xu Siyuan’s revealed plan, even the Lu Family would have suffered from schemes.

"I am truly grateful to Brother Fang. You heard what Xu Siyuan said. Without Brother Fang, not only would I have died here, but my Lu Family would have suffered from Xu Siyuan’s scheming. Brother Fang is not only my lifesaver but also a benefactor to my Lu Family. This Hundred Objects Box must be accepted."

Lin Chen accepted the Hundred Objects Box, confirming that Lu Feng was sincerely grateful for giving away the box, not doing it out of fear that Lin Chen might kill him after killing Xu Siyuan.

"Alright."

Seeing Lin Chen willing to accept, Lu Feng finally smiled, then turned his gaze to the statue.

"Brother Fang, the sword scabbard held by this statue contains a perfect level Sword Path Will, and Xu Siyuan was so intent on scheming against me because of the Tao Inheriting Jade Scroll I hold. This jade scroll is inside the Hundred Objects Box."

Lin Chen held the Hundred Objects Box, casting his divine thought into it, making all the items within clear to him, including seeing that special jade scroll.

"Is this the one Brother Lu is talking about?"

The jade scroll appeared in Lin Chen’s hand. Its material differed from the other jade scrolls Lin Chen had seen. It looked like jade, but felt softer, more like the fur of some animal.

"Yes, this is it."

Lu Feng nodded, "Brother Fang might not be familiar with Artifact Refining. My Lu Family deals with auctions, paying particular attention to Artifact Refining. A jade scroll capable of carrying a perfect level Martial Path Will requires the refiner to have immense skill, and only an Artifact Refining Grandmaster can craft it. Yet even for a grandmaster, it is almost impossible without suitable materials."

"In a way, finding an Artifact Refining Grandmaster is easy, but the materials are hard to come by. Plus, the materials used to craft such a jade scroll could also be used to create other treasures, offering higher profit and practicality. Hardly anyone uses them to craft perfect level Tao Inheriting Jade Scrolls. After all, perfect level Martial Path Wills are rarely found. Even if one is available, it can be comprehended on the spot, making the crafting of perfect level Tao Inheriting Jade Scrolls extremely rare in the Flame Dynasty. My grandfather bought this jade scroll precisely for its rarity, hoping that one day, some expert might find it useful and we could make a big profit."

Lin Chen understood Lu Feng’s point: the materials for a perfect level Tao Inheriting Jade Scroll are rare and valuable, broadly usable, and once found, are often used for other Artifact Refining projects to maximize benefits.

Are perfect level Martial Path Wills valuable?

Very valuable!

But the key is, there are not that many perfect level Martial Path Wills freely available in the world. More often than not, martial artists have to comprehend and break through on their own.

Even if a formed perfect level Martial Path Will exists, it is usually under the control of top sects and families, or locked within secret realms. Martial artists who gain access can attempt to comprehend it on the spot. Even if they fail at the time, they can hide it for future access without needing to carve it and take it away.

This rarity, combined with high costs, leads to the extreme scarcity of perfect level Tao Inheriting Jade Scrolls.

The Lu Family does not fantasize about finding a perfect level Martial Path Will that would allow this artifact’s use; rather, they hold it as a rare commodity, ready to sell it for a high price of even a hundred thousand, or two hundred thousand, Flame Coins if necessary.

Any form of perfect level Martial Path Will is priceless.

"How is Martial Path Will inscribed onto the jade scroll?"

Lin Chen was not reserved. A perfect level Martial Path Will, especially one of the Sword Dao, would even tempt powerhouses of the Myriad Phenomena Realm if they knew.

Though those powerhouses might not need it themselves, they could use it to train disciples, and if martial artists cultivating the Sword Dao learned of it, they might go mad.

But Lin Chen was not worried. He was using a fake identity, and even if Lu Feng betrayed him and leaked the details, the powerhouses would not find him.

Once matters here were resolved and he left Guangwu City, he would discard this face.

Of course, the safest method would be to kill Lu Feng as well, so the secrets here would never leak.

Only, he was not yet heartless enough to do that.

To keep a secret, even if the other party bore no grudge against him, he would choose to kill them to silence.

"Brother Fang need only place the jade scroll on that sword scabbard; the jade scroll will automatically sense the Martial Path Will and inscribe it within."

Lu Feng provided an answer, and Lin Chen stepped toward the statue. When he was a yard away from the sword scabbard, the jade scroll in his hand began to emit a faint glow, which landed on the sword scabbard, raising the hairs on Lin Chen’s body in that moment.

Ding!

A crisp sword cry resonated as terrifying Sword Qi spread. At that moment, Lin Chen felt a sense of crisis, his instincts telling him that failure to dodge would likely be life-threatening.
