Chapter 381: Chapter 160: Changsheng, Gambling on Treasure, Profound Yellow Spirit Soil, Treasure Artifact (Part 4)
Upon thinking of this, Zhou Changwang’s breathing immediately quickened.
"Give it a try.
Even if it’s a loss, it won’t be a big deal."
Zhou Changwang thought for a moment, then made a decision.
Then, like other cultivators, he picked and chose among the vendor’s items until he stopped in front of that long sword and asked, "How much is this ancient treasure?"
He also heightened his power of perception to the fullest in his heart.
But the dense evil qi was like a wall, blocking his perception hard.
If he forcibly invaded, not only would there be a risk of backlash, but the vendor would also not consent.
This would be like trying to resolve the treasure without buying it first, and then, even if the vendor priced it at several times the true value, he would have to grit his teeth and bear it.
Rules cannot be broken!
As he inquired verbally, he also used the Spirit Eye Technique and the Ghost Eye Skill again, then thought for a moment and used the Derivation Technique.
After all, such magic doesn’t have offensive power and barely emits any Spiritual Power fluctuations, so it could be used.
Then he felt a strong source of danger appearing ahead.
It was precisely that vendor.
A Foundation Establishment Realm True Cultivator!
There were several more with the same aura around them as him.
Immediately after, whether by illusion or not, he actually sensed an inexplicable threat from the long sword before him.
Though not intense, it was indeed somewhat different from other ancient treasures.
"This one, three thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones."
The vendor casually glanced at Zhou Changwang and said.
"Fine!"
Zhou Changwang nodded, agreeing.
Having observed here for so long, he could more or less see the pattern; compared to several larger ancient treasures at the vendor’s stand, especially that lotus-shaped one, this long sword could only be considered middle-grade among them.
The value at three thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones was also a reasonable figure.
Handing over the Spirit Stones, a cultivator nearby hurriedly approached and asked, "Do you need me to help resolve the treasure? A hundred Lower-Grade Spirit Stones per time."
"I want to try it myself!"
Zhou Changwang waved his hand.
Although he wasn’t a Treasure Master, he believed his breaking techniques weren’t weak.
The main thing was, he was afraid that this pile of yellow Spirit Soil would be embezzled by others, which would be a huge loss.
So, with a touch of his heart spirit, his Spiritual Sense turned into a web, carefully approaching the long sword.
Sure enough, he found a layer of restriction and dense evil qi blocking his Spiritual Sense on the entire surface of the long sword.
This kind of protection was more troublesome than a simple restriction.
After all, evil qi can greatly damage a cultivator’s Spiritual Sense, and if carelessly allowed to enter the body, causing weakness and injury, it is highly probable.
Spiritual Sense Silk!
Zhou Changwang used the Golden Light Breaking Forbidden Technique, Spiritual Sense Silk.
The powerful Spiritual Sense, like sharp swords, continuously traversed within, although constantly consuming due to the interference of evil qi, consuming more than a tenth in mere seconds.
But just then, he sensed a weak point in the restriction.
Spiritual Sense charge!
Bang!
The first layer of restriction was unlocked.
Then, he continued using Spiritual Sense Silk.
Second layer, third layer, fourth layer...
After breaking through a total of nine layers of restriction.
Instantly, the restriction dissipated.
The evil qi enveloping them also surged as if it wanted to rush into Zhou Changwang’s body. A nearby cultivator quickly took out a jade bottle and gently guided it.
The wisps of evil qi were drawn into the jade bottle.
"I am Chen Lide. I borrowed some evil qi from you for treasure refining, please don’t blame me."
The cultivator followed up with his words.
"No problem, thank you for your assistance!"
Zhou Changwang nodded, recognizing the jade bottle in the other’s hand as the Evil-Concentrating Bottle Magical Artifact.
The power entirely depended on how much evil qi the cultivator gathered.
The more and heavier the evil qi, the stronger the power.
It is a powerful tool for staining others’ Magical Artifacts.
Thus, the evil qi dissipated.
This treasure also truly saw the light of day again.
Of course, to determine its grade, it requires the infusion of the ’first wave’ of Spiritual Power.
But at this moment, Zhou Changwang’s attention wasn’t on that long sword but rather the lump of yellow Spirit Soil adhered to the sword, his eyes showing a look of surprise.
Profound Yellow Spirit Soil!
This was indeed Profound Yellow Spirit Soil!
Before, since the restriction sealed it and the evil qi spread around, the Spiritual Qi was not apparent.
But at this moment, after he broke the restrictive force on the surface, and the evil qi was drawn out, the aura of this Spiritual Object was fully revealed.
Threads of Spiritual Power were directly emitted, slightly distorting the air.
Instinctively, Zhou Changwang used Sound Insulation Technique to block the aura emitted by the Spirit Soil.
At the Perfection Level, the Sound Insulation Technique could not only block sound but also aura.
Then he quickly took out a black bag, carefully separating and storing the entire Profound Yellow Spirit Soil.
Without missing a single grain of sand, he finally stored it in the Storage Bag.
"Not much, only seven taels, but enough for me to cultivate the Five Elements Pure Yang True Body, and still some leftover.
If this Spirit Soil is used to cultivate Spirit Plants, even Fourth-Grade Spirit Plant can be grown..."
Zhou Changwang’s heart was immediately elated.
This Spirit Soil is a rare earth treasure capable of continually absorbing Spiritual Qi, also possessing the power of Creation, with endless wonderful uses in even a small strand.
Subsequently, he nonchalantly dispersed the Sound Insulation Technique, then turned his attention to that long sword.
Holding this long sword in his hand, it was very heavy.
Of course, given his Sixth-Layer Body Refining strength, it felt as light as nothing.
The whole sword surface was rusted, seemingly marked by endless time, but perhaps due to the evil qi dissipating, he was now able to see through those numerous rusted spots to some minute artifact array patterns inside.
These artifact array patterns were quite mysterious, even with his eye power, he couldn’t fully understand them.
Thus, he used the Cleaning Technique, cleaning the sword body.
Hum~!
The strands of rust dispersed accordingly, but many rust spots remained. It seemed that even a Perfection Level Cleaning Technique couldn’t wash them away entirely.
Lastly, Zhou Changwang tried to infuse his Spiritual Power into it.
Hum~!
In an instant, the whole long sword radiated brilliant Spiritual Light.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths...
It continued until after five breaths, Zhou Changwang felt the strong absorbing force disperse.
The rust on the surface of the entire long sword also completely dispersed.
"This long sword..."
"Not simple!"
"Is this a winning bet?"
"It must be a winning bet, but what’s this long sword’s grade?
By its look, it doesn’t seem like a Magical Artifact?"
"Not a Magical Artifact? Then what is it?"
"Treasure Artifact?"
...
Exclamations followed, with discussions continuously rising.
Some people began to speculate on the grade of this long sword, and couldn’t help but gasp.
Treasure Artifact?
Is it really a Treasure Artifact?
One has to know, beyond Magical Artifacts are Treasure Artifacts.
Even a Top-Grade Magical Artifact is less valuable than a Low-Grade Treasure Artifact.
If this long sword is truly confirmed as a Treasure Artifact, its price would be incalculable!
