Chapter 536: The Ten Thousand Impurities Banner
Chapter 536: The Ten Thousand Impurities Banner
A peculiar thought flashed through Lu Chen's mind, and a strange flying sword appeared before him.
The flying sword was dazzlingly golden, as if forged from pure gold. Its blade was exceptionally wide, and at the hilt, a peacock seemed poised to spread its wings. A faint shadow of a four-armed Bodhisattva appeared on the sword's body, giving it a solemn and majestic aura rather than the sharp edge typical of other flying swords.
Lu Chen focused his attention on the golden sword, immediately understanding its details.
Peacock Mingwang Sword, a fifth-grade flying sword. It is said to be forged from the feathers of the Buddha Peacock Mingwang of the Buddha World. It can be refined into a magical artifact with the ability to eliminate all kinds of toxic fears and disasters, and it is highly effective against evil spirits and demons.
"A fifth-grade flying sword, I finally have a decent flying sword artifact."
"However, going by the information prompt, the origin of this Peacock Mingwang Sword seems extraordinary. If a single feather can be forged into a fifth-grade artifact, one can only imagine the power of the peacock itself, let alone the Buddha who commands it."
Lu Chen's thoughts drifted as he held the wide golden sword, waving it lightly. Golden sword energy shot out with a swish, and the shadow of the four-armed Bodhisattva on the sword suddenly became more vivid. An aura of solemn sanctity permeated the surrounding area.
"A fifth-grade flying sword, so wide, and of Buddhist origin too. It's perfect for role-playing, and it suits your crappy sword sheath."
Lu Chen removed the Yang Xuan Sword Sheath hanging at his waist, pulling out the Wind and Thunder Sword from the rustic sheath. He then thrust the large, golden Peacock Mingwang Sword into the sheath.
The sword sheath trembled slightly, whether from excitement or pain, Lu Chen couldn't tell.
"Keep it in the Yang Xuan Sword Sheath to nurture it properly. It will be even more powerful when drawn."
"That's one more addition to this crappy sword sheath's collection of flying swords."
Lu Chen gazed at the still-trembling Yang Xuan Sword Sheath, his thoughts lingering.
After taking care of the spiritual plants in his cave abode, he set off without delay to Jianmen Town.
Since he rarely went out, and the light group provided him with various rewards, he seldom purchased spiritual plants or other cultivation resources beyond related treasures.
This time, with an unknown duration for his stay in the outside world, Lu Chen wanted to ensure he had sufficient supplies. Especially since he needed to replenish his stock of pills that could quickly restore his spiritual power.
Using the Thousand Soul Mask to alter his appearance and aura, he headed to the Wanbao Building.
A short and stout elder who sensed his Core Formation stage cultivation base welcomed him promptly.
"Fellow Daoist, what do you require? Our Wanbao Building has everything, and we will surely meet your needs."
A sincere and eager smile appeared on the plump elder's face.
"Do you have any third or fourth-grade pills that can quickly restore spiritual power?" Lu Chen asked calmly.
"Yes, yes, please come this way."
The short and stout elder led Lu Chen to the second floor, and soon, a clear-faced young girl walked in carrying an exquisite jade plate.
"This is the third-grade Gathering Spirit Pill, capable of swiftly restoring the spiritual energy within your body. And this is the fourth-grade Heaven's Origin Pill, which is even more effective than the Gathering Spirit Pill. Even for Core Formation stage or perfect-stage cultivators, a single pill can restore most of their depleted spiritual power."
"How are the prices calculated?" Lu Chen asked indifferently as he examined the two extraordinary-looking pills before him.
"Each third-grade Gathering Spirit Pill is eight hundred low-grade spirit stones, and each fourth-grade Heaven's Origin Pill is three thousand four hundred low-grade spirit stones."
"Give me ten Gathering Spirit Pills and three Heaven's Origin Pills."
"Certainly, fellow Daoist. You have a good eye. Pills that restore spiritual power are in high demand these days, and our Wanbao Building often struggles to keep up with the demand."
Upon hearing this, the plump elder's smile became even warmer.
"Fellow Daoist Li, bringing you such a big business, won't you give me a little discount?"
Additionally, there were the large amounts of Water Glow Grass and other low-grade spirit herbs that he had sold from time to time, as well as the pills he had refined himself, such as the Spirit Infusion Pills and the Pei Yuan Pills.
"17,000 it is, then. There's not much profit margin left for the Wanbao Building at this price," the short and stout elder said after some deliberation.
"Alright, Manager Li. Take a look," Lu Chen said as he waved his hand, sending 170 medium-grade spirit stones flying out of his storage bag.
Soon, ten third-grade Gathering Spirit Pills and three fourth-grade Heaven's Origin Pills were delivered to him.
After all, Lu Chen was now a core pill master of the Dan Palace, and he had the discernment to match. He carefully inspected the pills, and after confirming their authenticity, he left the Wanbao Building.
Along the way, he found another secluded corner and once again altered his appearance and aura before making his way to the Underworld Courtyard.
He opened the Mirage Five Elements Formation and stepped into the courtyard, where he was greeted by howling gusts of yin wind carrying the wails of countless vengeful spirits and a thick, bloody stench.
A large, pale pink blob hopped over to Lu Chen. It was the disaster-grade evil creature, Flesh Spirit Divine, that he had been raising in the courtyard since its birth.
"Have you been sneaking bites of the demonic beast meat used to cultivate the spirit herbs?" Lu Chen asked as he grabbed a handful of the pale pink flesh that made up the creature's body.
The pink blob spun around, indicating a no.
"Is that so?" Lu Chen's spiritual sense swept over the Immortal Peach Tree and the many demonic beast carcasses buried beneath the Thousand Coiling Hands, and he immediately spotted tiny bite marks on some of the meat, as if left by countless tiny teeth.
He peeled back the top layer of the Flesh Spirit Divine's flesh, which resembled water plants, revealing the multitude of tightly closed mouths hidden beneath. Traces of meat remnants could be seen on the corners of the mouths.
"I'll forgive you this time since you didn't eat much," Lu Chen said as he patted the top of the Flesh Spirit Divine's "head". He quickly took out the carcass of a fourth-grade demonic beast from his storage bag and fed it to the creature.
After all, it was a disaster-grade evil creature, and its appetite was enormous. The fact that it had only sneaked a small amount of food was commendable, considering the length of time it had been left alone.
While the Flesh Spirit Divine was busy absorbing the demonic beast carcass, transforming it into a mist of blood, Lu Chen made his way to the corner of the courtyard where the Filth Bug Grass was located.
He took out a large bag of filth from his storage bag, the same filth that had been collected from the forbidden land. A pale green spiritual energy seeped into the plant.
Soon, the progress bar below the Filth Bug Grass was completely filled.
Lu Chen held his breath as he plucked the pitch-black plant from the filthy little swamp.
Filth Bug Grass, a fourth-grade spirit herb, nurtured with various filthy energies and substances. It possesses strong polluting properties and can be used to refine certain vicious magical artifacts or cultivate unorthodox cultivation techniques once it reaches maturity.
Lu Chen briefly familiarized himself with the Filth Bug Grass' characteristics, his gaze then drawn to the white light group floating above the filthy swamp.
Contrasted against the thick filthy aura, the light group appeared even more pure and flawless.
He gently touched the surface of the light group, causing countless minuscule light points to silently explode, transforming into a pale white banner that flowed into Lu Chen's body.
Harvested a fourth-grade Filth Bug Grass and obtained a fifth-grade magical artifact, the Ten Thousand Impurities Banner.
"I've been a bit busy these past two days, and the plot has reached a critical juncture. I've been thinking about the treasures so much that my head is about to burst, so I've only managed one chapter. I'll return to the regular schedule tomorrow and try to make up for it."
