Chapter 1207: Chapter 650: Spirit Treasure
Lu Wei and Li Yuanba parted ways in Sword Cave Heaven. Originally, Lu Wei wanted to invite Li Yuanba to visit his grotto, but Li Yuanba declined.
The grotto of Sword Cave Heaven is extremely private, and Li Yuanba was thinking of going back to study the gains from this trip.
After separating from Lu Wei, Li Yuanba did not use Sword Escape during the entire journey, but eventually used Sword Escape for a short distance.
Using the Xingyi Sword to perform Sword Escape, he had used it once in battle, and at that time he had noticed some peculiarities about the speed of Sword Escape.
Now, as he performed it again, he discovered that the Speed Rule Imprint on Xingyi Sword similarly enhanced the speed of Sword Escape, of course, provided that Xingyi Sword was used as the object of Sword Escape.
With a flash of his figure, he arrived in front of the grotto, and this was him intentionally slowing down.
As he prepared to enter the grotto, Sword Elder suddenly appeared, blocking his way.
âYuanba, has your Lifebound Flying Sword been enhanced?â Sword Elder asked.
His eyes rarely showed curiosity, as he had been sensing the situation of the entire Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, and during Li Yuanbaâs execution of Sword Escape, he perceived something unusual about Li Yuanbaâs Lifebound Flying Sword.
He couldnât quite believe it, because Li Yuanbaâs Lifebound Flying Sword should not appear in the hands of a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator.
âSword Elder, this time I went out to meet a fellow who helped enhance my Lifebound Flying Sword!â Li Yuanba responded half-truthfully.
Without waiting for Sword Elder to ask, he took out his Lifebound Flying Sword, Xingyi Sword, from within his body and held it in his hands.
Sword Elder looked at Xingyi Sword, astonishment flashing in his eyes. He saw the Speed Rule Imprint on Xingyi Sword and thus confirmed it was just as he had judged before.
âSword Elder, come sit inside the grotto; I happened to have gotten some top-quality Spiritual Tea!â Li Yuanba invited with a smile.
He was very curious about his Lifebound Flying Sword, Xingyi Sword, and wanted to get more information from Sword Elder.
âPerfect timing, if your Spiritual Tea is no good, I will be upset!â Sword Elder understood Li Yuanbaâs meaning and said with a smile.
Inside the grotto hall, Li Yuanba took out a Fourth Grade Tea Set, brewed a pot of Fourth Grade Spiritual Tea, using the Spiritual Tea naturally obtained from his true form, Li Shiming.
Although he didnât employ the tea-making methods of Li Shiming, the potâs quality still surpassed ordinary Fourth Grade Spiritual Tea due to Li Shimingâs own hand-fried tea.
âGood tea, Iâll take some of this Spiritual Tea when I leave!â Sword Elder, without any reservation, casually mentioned without pretension, treating Li Yuanba as a junior.
Li Yuanba smiled, taking out a jade box, placed thirty servings of Fourth Grade Spiritual Tea inside, handing it over to Sword Elder.
He wasnât planning on giving too much; the rarer this level of Fourth Grade Spiritual Tea, the more precious it is. Too much would decrease its perceived value.
âYou invited me in to learn about your Lifebound Flying Swordâs situation, right?â Sword Elder glanced at the jade box, then put it away, smiling as he asked.
âIndeed, I wish to consult Sword Elder!â Li Yuanba bowed in response.
âI wonât ask who helped you enhance your Lifebound Flying Sword. Knowing an Artifact Refiner with such skills is your fortune; make sure to maintain good relations.â Sword Elder commented lightly, sipping the tea and savoring its nuance.
Li Yuanba nodded repeatedly, internally pondering that the artifact refining skills of his true form, Li Shiming, are likely unique within the Cultivation World.
If not for the impact of Heaven and Earth Rules after the Artifact Tribulation on his Lifebound Flying Sword, Xingyi Sword, where four billion speed runes and fifty million sturdy runes were hidden under the Speed Rule Imprint, he wouldnât dare show Xingyi Sword to Sword Elder.
âUsing a top-grade Fourth-Grade sword billet as a foundation, to elevate the flying sword to a spiritual treasure level, such Artifact Refiners exist in this world!â Sword Elder exclaimed in admiration.
Upon hearing this, Li Yuanba noticed the keyword âspiritual treasure.â
It seems like âspiritual treasureâ might be a tier higher than magical instruments, yet he has never heard any information about âspiritual treasure.â
âSword Elder, what is a spiritual treasure?â Li Yuanba interrupted Sword Elderâs words to ask.
âSpiritual treasures are treasures possessing an Artifact Spirit; however, the Artifact Spirit needs a certain degree of wisdom, unlike those confused pseudo-spirit artifacts. To refine spiritual treasures, one generally needs the Mahayana Realm!â Sword Elder explained, glancing at Li Yuanba.
Li Yuanba invited someone to enhance his Lifebound Flying Sword just after recently advancing, even before stabilizing his combat power, indicating that the cultivator assisting him had an appointment or limited time, also unwilling to reveal themselves.
Otherwise, with Li Yuanbaâs current status in Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, he could host a fellow at Sword Peak.
If the one Li Yuanba invited is truly a Great Mahayana Cultivator, then which from among them took notice of Li Yuanba, these are questions in Sword Elderâs heart.
Nonetheless, Sword Elderâs gaze swept over Li Yuanba, perceiving no deceit, indicating Li Yuanba had not acted against Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.
Sword Elder is confident in discerning intent, not only is Li Yuanba merely at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, but even at the Great Cultivator Level, Sword Elder could perceive Li Yuanbaâs mindset at a glance.
âReceiving your Spiritual Tea isnât for free; your Lifebound Flying Sword has indeed reached the level of spiritual treasure; I will teach you a Secret Technique to conceal its spiritual treasure aura, else it might attract a greedy Great Mahayana Cultivator who would try to seize it!â Sword Elder chuckled, tossing a jade scroll to Li Yuanba.
