Longevity Begins With The Birth Of A Daughter At An Old Age

Chapter 38: Frosty Serpent Sword

Twenty-eight high-grade spirit stones!

Over two hundred low-grade spirit stones!

A third-grade flying sword!

A third-grade defensive magic tool!

Two second-grade robes!

Over ten second and third-grade talismans!

Seven or eight bottles of second and third-grade elixirs!

A sword sheath made of cold iron (unopened)!

"It's no wonder they come from a big family, they're really wealthy!" Xu Mu exclaimed.

Not to mention, just the twenty-plus high-grade spirit stones alone already surpasses ninety-nine percent of mid Qi Refining stage cultivators.

As for the third-grade sword and defensive magic tool, they are not something that ordinary mid Qi Refining stage cultivators can afford.

Especially the third-grade defensive magic tool, it may not even be available for purchase in the Baishi Fang market.

The three mid Qi Refining stage cultivators he just killed were only using second-grade defensive magic tools.

The only regret is that the defensive magic tool was forcibly broken, and many formations inside were damaged. Although it can still be used, its defensive power is only at the level of a second-grade magic tool.

After organizing these scattered items, Xu Mu began to study the cold iron sword sheath.

Cold iron itself is a very good material for refining tools. With such a large piece of cold iron, it would be no problem to refine a second-grade magic tool.

Now it is being used extravagantly as a sword sheath, indicating the preciousness of the contents inside.

"Huh? There are words on it!"

Just as Xu Mu was about to open it, he noticed a line of tiny characters engraved in the center of the sheath.

"Frosty Serpent Sword!"

"Made with deep-sea marrow silver and lunar yin mysterious iron, containing a thirty-six-layer Frosty Ice Great Formation and the essence of a hundred-year Frosty Serpent!"

"A thirty-six-layer formation!! And the essence of a demonic beast! Is this real?"

Seeing the introduction above, Xu Mu's heart was turned upside down.

Just from the cold iron used to make the sword sheath, Xu Mu knew that the contents inside were not simple, but he didn't expect it to be so exaggerated.

Because if the introduction is true, then it is very likely that there is a fifth-grade spiritual sword inside.

Fourth-grade and above, including fourth-grade magic tools, are collectively referred to as spiritual tools.

The formations engraved on spiritual tools are no longer scattered independent formations, but a complete set of forbidden formations.

In order to increase their power, they often incorporate the essence of demonic beasts of the same attribute during the refining process.

And the demonic beasts that can produce essence are at least at the Foundation Building stage.

The power of spiritual tools is calculated based on the number of stacked formations. The more formations are stacked, the stronger the power.

As far as he knows, even the weakest fourth-grade spiritual sword requires the stacking of eighteen formations. Although the number of formations seems similar to that of a third-grade magic tool, the two have completely different structures, and the difference in power is like night and day.

If suitable essence of demonic beasts is also sealed inside, the difference will be even greater!

Therefore, spiritual tools are extremely precious!

Not to mention the Qi Refining stage, even many Foundation Building stage cultivators do not have a suitable spiritual tool.

A spiritual tool with a thirty-six-layer formation is already a fifth-grade spiritual tool among spiritual tools, and it is even more precious than a fourth-grade one.

No wonder the other party was willing to use cold iron to make a sword sheath.

Compared to a fifth-grade spiritual sword, cold iron is indeed only worthy of being a sword sheath.

If he were to sell it, Xu Mu could become rich overnight.

But all of this is based on whether there really is a fifth-grade magic tool inside.

Otherwise, it would be empty joy!

Xu Mu, who was originally in a casual mood, suddenly became anxious.

He placed his hand on it, infused it with spiritual power, and unlocked the outer seal formation.

The light on the sword sheath flickered, and the seal was automatically released.

As Xu Mu slowly opened it, a faint white cold stream gushed out and touched his arm.

"Hiss!"

Xu Mu couldn't help but shiver.

It was like entering an ice cave on the coldest day of winter.

It should be noted that it is currently midsummer, and the temperature is at least in the twenties or thirties, not to mention that his Body Refining has already reached a level where his resistance to cold is far superior to that of ordinary Qi Refining cultivators.

And now, it was just a wisp of breath that made him feel cold.

Xu Mu's excitement grew stronger, his heart pounding as if it was about to jump out of his chest.

There really might be something inside!

He took a deep breath and fully opened the sword sheath.

Roar!

A long sword emitting a white cold aura appeared in his line of sight.

The sword was three feet long, with a thin and wide blade like a cicada's wing. The sword body was silver-white, shining brightly, and white mist kept rising from it.

At the same time, there was a faint beast roar that kept emanating from the sword, making people inexplicably fearful.

Xu Mu didn't feel the usual sharpness of a flying sword from this sword. Instead, it was a bone-chilling coldness that permeated from the inside out.

It was like entering an ice cave, causing his whole body to tremble!

The temperature in the entire room dropped by more than ten degrees as the sword sheath was opened, as if it had suddenly returned to early spring.

He quickly circulated his spiritual power and formed a protective aura on his body, preventing his body from freezing.

"This is definitely a fifth-grade spiritual tool, otherwise it wouldn't have such great power!"

Feeling the power emanating from the long sword, Xu Mu's eyes filled with excitement.

He never expected his luck to be so good. With a casual kill of a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator, he was able to obtain a precious fifth-grade spiritual weapon.

It was like someone taking a walk outside and picking up a piece of paper on the ground, only to find out it was a lottery ticket worth a hundred million.

Of course, the reality was definitely not that simple.

If it weren't for his strong strength, just the young man from the Song family would have been enough to give him a hard time, not to mention the three late-stage Qi Refining cultivators behind him.

Having strength is called good luck!

Lacking strength is called bad luck!

He picked up the Ice Frost Cold Python Sword and lightly swung it.

A white icy sword qi shot out from the sword!

Puchi!

A crack appeared on the wall.

Surrounding the crack were translucent ice crystals.

"Does this have an inherent skill?"

He didn't exert any force, but the power of this white sword qi was already equivalent to a first-grade ice spell.

"No wonder it's a fifth-grade spiritual weapon!"

Xu Mu couldn't wait to refine it.

Although the attributes of this sword didn't match his own, even just a simple activation would be enough to elevate his strength to a new level.

But after trying, he found that it was impossible.

Inside this sword, a powerful cold stream was constantly being released. He could barely withstand it with his spiritual power alone. If he forcefully refined it, it was likely to activate the Cold Python Spirit Essence within, with unimaginable consequences.

"No wonder that guy didn't use it. Turns out he couldn't!"

Xu Mu remembered the young man he fought against.

If the other party had used this Ice Frost Cold Python Sword at that time, it would have been almost impossible for him to defeat him.

"It's possible that even a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator can't refine this Ice Frost Cold Python Sword. Otherwise, it should have stayed in the Song family for their experts to use!"

In last night's battle, if the Song family's experts had this spiritual sword, although it wouldn't have turned the tide, their chances of escape would have greatly increased.

As for why the Song family's Foundation Building cultivator didn't take this sword with him, it was most likely because the attributes didn't match.

The Song family practiced the Burning Remnant Sword Art, which was a standard fire attribute sword art.

Of course, it was also possible that the other party didn't need this spiritual sword. Unlike wandering cultivators, the Song family was an old Foundation Building family and had controlled the Baishi Market for many years. It was normal for them to have some assets.

Now that this sword had fallen into Xu Mu's hands, there might be various coincidences and reasons, but no matter what, the sword now belonged to him.

"This sword can't be refined. In the hands of an ordinary Qi Refining cultivator, it's just a chicken rib, and it might even bring disaster upon them!"

"But for me, who practices the Thunderbolt Sword Art and has reached the marrow refining stage in Body Refining, I can directly use it to kill people. It is undoubtedly a divine weapon for me!"

"Even without being able to infuse spiritual power to increase its strength, the power of the Ice Soul Cold Chi Sword alone completely overwhelms ordinary third-grade magic swords!"

Although there is a slight regret in not being able to refine it, for Xu Mu, it is still a huge surprise, enough to elevate his swordsmanship to a new level.

"When my Light Body Technique reaches the Grandmaster level, with this Ice Soul Cold Chi Sword, I should be able to kill someone in the Foundation Building stage, right?"

Xu Mu put away the Ice Soul Cold Chi Sword, feeling excited.

Killing someone in the Foundation Building stage with a cultivation level in the Mid Qi Refining stage should be enough to make him famous for thousands of years.

Unfortunately, Xu Mu doesn't like showing off. Even if he really has that kind of strength, he wouldn't seek to compete with someone in the Foundation Building stage.

Playing the pig to eat the tiger!

Isn't he awesome?

Originally, reaching the Grandmaster level in the third-grade Fire Control Technique had already given him some confidence for this journey through the wilderness. Now, with the Ice Soul Cold Chi Sword, his confidence is even greater.

"Perhaps, if I don't follow the Chi family, I can take Yingying and Ling'er and cross the wilderness to the distant Liyang Sect!"

Xu Mu suddenly felt a little tempted.

If he leaves with the Chi family, he will definitely be restricted by them when he arrives at the Liyang Sect. If he goes alone, there won't be as much trouble.

His strength may not be able to surpass a cultivator in the Foundation Building stage, but with the compressed fireball, dealing with a fourth-grade Foundation Building stage demonic beast should not be a problem.

Although demonic beasts have intelligence, it is limited, and their attacks are relatively straightforward, making them vulnerable to compressed fireballs.

While he was thinking about this, there was a knock on the door from outside.

"Master, it's almost time. Should we leave now?"

"Oh! Okay!"

Xu Mu was about to go out when he suddenly remembered that he hadn't opened Li Moqing's storage bag.

"You guys get ready and wait for me at the door!"

Xu Mu shouted, stopped in his tracks, and opened Li Moqing's storage bag.

A set of low-grade offensive magic tools!

Fifty-one pieces of low-grade spirit stones!

Two bottles of Qi Gathering Pills!

"Hmm? What is this?"

Xu Mu took out a thumb-sized, black magic tool. When he infused it with spiritual power, it immediately started vibrating continuously.

Depending on the amount of infused spiritual power, he could also adjust the frequency.

And it was also of the thunder attribute, allowing him to control it to release lightning.

Xu Mu couldn't understand it at all, so he put it away again.

Then he took out a few pieces of clothing, all of which were very strange, with even the crotch area left unsewn.

While Xu Mu was carefully studying them, Ye Yingying's voice came from outside again, and Xu Mu quickly put away the things and went out.
