Chapter 521: It's sunny today, let's sunbathe the magical treasures

Translator: G.o.dBrandy Editor: Kurisu

Song Shuhang guessed that the disposable flying swords might have been attracted toward his position due to the Ten Thousand Mile Flying Escape Technique in the small wooden box, which was also something Venerable White manufactured.

However... the disposable flying swords had been roaming in s.p.a.ce for already a month, right? Given their speed, they should have already flown to another planet of the solar system. Such being the case, why were they all flying in the proximity of the moon...?

"The disposable flying swords came back?" Venerable White was also baffled.

He didn't really pay too much attention to those flying swords after launching them into s.p.a.ce. After all, who would pay attention to the garbage they had just thrown out?

Venerable White pondered for a moment and said, "I might know the reason. Do you remember when I brought you guys to the Chu Family ten days ago to watch the battle on the Grievance Settling Platform? At that time, while we were flying, I got bored and decided to close up for two days, right? While closing up, I created a very interesting sword formation that was related to 'karma'. The karmic sword formation should be the reason all those disposable flying swords that were related to me came back."

After a nap... ugh! After closing up for two days, Senior White managed to create a karmic sword formation?

Venerable White, you being this incredible is really making us depressed!

"However, only the recently launched disposable flying swords should have been summoned back, haha... ?" Venerable White made a hollow laugh.

The disposable flying swords that Venerable White launched into s.p.a.ce hundreds of years ago shouldn't have been affected by the formation.

Virtuous Buddhist Sabersman replied honestly, "The disposable flying swords I saw were indeed recently launched. It's just that the quant.i.ty was much higher than what I had expected."

It was a given that Senior White had disa.s.sembled several other home appliances of unknown origins after he was done disa.s.sembling all those present in Medicine Master's multi-storied building...

"Ahaha, there is no need to pay too much attention to those disposable flying swords. It has already been more than ten days, and the effects of the karmic sword formation should be about to end. The disposable flying swords will leave on their own soon. Anyway, we are about to group up and explore the ancient ruins. We'll talk later. ?" Venerable White sent a hand-waving emoji.

"Senior White, see you later," Song Shuhang replied.

Then, just as Song Shuhang was preparing to put the phone away, another senior of the group got online.

Su Clan's Seven: "Little friend Shuhang, are you online? Do you remember the package I gave you the last time after capturing Limitless Demon Sect's Branch Leader Jing Mo?"

At that time, after he used the disposable flying sword launcher to take care of Daoist Half Gourd, Song Shuhang was forced to use the Ten Thousand Mile Flying Escape Technique to escape from Branch Leader Jing Mo. As a result, Branch Leader Jing Mo madly chased after him, h.e.l.lbent on catching him. But in the end, Jing Mo ended up meeting Venerable White and literally dug his own grave.

Later, Su Clan's Seven stripped Jing Mo of all his treasures and sealed them away, giving the whole loot to Song Shuhang. All the treasures had Jing Mo's personal mark on them. Unless the mark was removed, Song Shuhang would be unable to use the treasures even if they were in his possession.

At that time, Seven told Song Shuhang to wait for one or two months. Once he was done dealing with Branch Leader Jing Mo, Song Shuhang would be able to open the sealed package and obtain the items inside.

"The package is still in my possession. Can I open it now?" Song Shuhang asked.

Su Clan's Seven: "Yes. Jing Mo has been dealt with by the Su Clan. Moreover, the personal mark on the items should have already disappeared under the effects of my seal. You can use them without worries."

"Alright, Senior," Song Shuhang replied.

Su Clan's Seven: "Moreover, thanks to the 'skeletal dragon's withered vine' little friend Shuhang provided the last time, Sixteen's condition's stabilized by a great margin. She isn't in danger anymore."

"That's great!" Song Shuhang was immediately relieved after reading these words.

All his effort hadn't been in vain.

Now then, would he be able to meet Su Clan's Sixteen again?

Song Shuhang was quickly typing on the phone while following Fourth Cultivator of True Virtue.

Right at this time, Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue's voice was transmitted from ahead. "Little friend Shuhang, are you chatting with the fellow daoists of the Nine Provinces Number One Group?"

Song Shuhang raised his head and saw that Fourth Cultivator of True Virtue had stopped and was now licking its claws.

Ahead of the jade white lion was an empty ground of the size of a football field.

And Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue was currently... bathing his magical treasures?

He wasn't bathing them in the water to clean them up. Instead, he placed them all outside and had them bathe in the sun.

Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue had his sleeves rolled up as he was continuously moving out strange treasures, placing them on the empty ground.

There was a strange wooden stick, various tower-shaped objects of different sizes, multicolored gourds, various mirrors made of different materials, tens of magical clothes hanging and drying in the sun, a box of talisman papers...

Each of the treasures was emanating strong fluctuations of spiritual energy. In other words, they were all magical treasures of the Fifth Stage or above.

The resulting backlash would surely injure a cultivator of the Second Stage like Shuhang if he were to touch magical treasures of this rank.

The number and variety of magical treasures were really too high, Song Shuhang was dazzled by the scene.

Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue placed a stone-carved phoenix on the ground with a thump and clapped his hands.

"Senior, what are you doing?" Song Shuhang asked... He can't really be sunbathing his magical treasures, right? Or do magical treasures need to be frequently sunbathed so as to avoid them becoming moldy?

"As you can see, I'm putting in order my treasure house to see which treasures I can sell. I haven't put my treasure house in order for a very long time, and I discovered that I had several items that aren't of any use anymore. Therefore, I decided to sort things out and sell the useless stuff in exchange for spirit stones," Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue replied.

Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue wasn't someone that lacked spirit stones. He had several spirit stone mines under his control and probably earned millions of high-quality spirit stones per minute.

Normally speaking, he was loaded with spirit stones and surely had enough for his practice and daily expenses.

But now... he was trying to get in contact with that mysterious merchant that could sell anything.

According to legends, one could even buy the 'pill of immortality' from that man if they had enough spirit stones!

Of course, one wouldn't actually reach immortality after taking the pill of immortality.

Aside from the Wielder of the Will and the Tribulation Transcenders that had found their own way to immortality, reaching the 'Immortal Realm', no one was truly immortal.

Powerhouses of the Ninth Stage Tribulation Transcender Realm could live up to ten million years. But if they were unable to carry the 'Will of the Heavens', becoming its embodiment, or find their own way to immortality, they would still die.

The pill of immortality had rejuvenating properties and could restore the lifespan of a person that was about to die, giving them a new lease on life.

If a Ninth Stage Tribulation Transcender whose lifespan was almost up were to take the pill of immortality, they would happily live for another ten million years. Unfortunately, one could eat this pill only once.

Therefore, they couldn't keep living on forever by relying on illegal drugs!

As long as one had enough spirit stones, they could buy anything.

In front of this merchant that could literally sell anything, the number of spirit stones one possessed was never enough.

The treasure that Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue wanted to buy was a particular type of treasure that had already disappeared from the world. It was something incredibly important if he wanted to advance to the Eighth Stage.

Therefore, his only hope was to buy it from the Almighty Merchant.

❄️❄️❄️

Right at this time, rolling on an animal skin magical treasure, Fourth Cultivator of True Virtue said, "Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue, little friend Shuhang obtained the Soul Devouring Demonic Gourd."

"Oh? Is it that gourd?" Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue shot a glance at the gourd in Song Shuhang's hand.

At this time, Song Shuhang was still holding the disposable flying sword 004 edition in his hand.

Above the sword was a burgundy gourd that was emitting a faint red light.

From the outward appearance of the gourd, Song Shuhang determined that it was indeed the same gourd that Daoist Half Gourd was holding back then when he was impaled to death.

However, Daoist Half Gourd's corpse was nowhere to be found, and even the position of the gourd seemed to have changed...

Perhaps Loose Cultivator Qian Yan and his team got rid of Daoist Half Gourd's corpse when they caught the sword light back then? Or perhaps it was lost while the sword was roaming in s.p.a.ce?

"Senior, were you also looking for this gourd?" Song Shuhang handed both the disposable flying sword and the gourd to Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue.

What's the origin of this gourd? Even Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue seems to be interested in it...

Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue stretched out his hand toward the Soul Devouring Demonic Gourd and explained, "I wasn't looking for the gourd, but for a certain person that came in contact with it recently. I want to find this person because I need to buy something from them."

Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue took the gourd and said with a smile, "So it was one of Fellow Daoist White's disposable flying swords! No wonder the flying sword approached little friend Shuhang on its own."

"According to what Senior White, the reason the disposable flying swords he recently launched into s.p.a.ce came back might be the karmic sword formation he comprehended ten days ago," Song Shuhang replied.

Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue nodded and said, "Is this gourd something that Fellow Daoist White sent into s.p.a.ce?"

"No, I am the one that sent the gourd into s.p.a.ce." After saying this much, Song Shuhang explained the whole matter between him and Daoist Half Gourd to Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue.

Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue stroked the wooden sword.

There seems to be some fate between little friend Shuhang and this matter...

Song Shuhang sent Daoist Half Gourd's gourd into s.p.a.ce.

While it was in s.p.a.ce, the gourd came in contact with the Almighty Merchant.

Then, the gourd underwent a mutation and returned to Song Shuhang once more.

At this point, it already couldn't be considered a coincidence anymore.

From the looks of it, Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue might obtain some extra benefits if he brought little friend Shuhang along and found the Almighty Merchant.

"Little friend Shuhang, can you lend me the gourd for a while so that I can examine it?" Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue said.

"Sure," Song Shuhang replied. After all, it didn't belong to him in the first place.

"Little friend Shuhang is really a straightforward person," Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue said with a smile. Afterward, he pressed with his right hand on the gourd, completely covering its surface with a sealing rune and placing it inside his spatial equipment.

"Little friend Shuhang, do you want to keep challenging the hundred giants today?"

Song Shuhang nodded and said, "Yes. I want to seize the opportunity and quickly strengthen my const.i.tution."

Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue asked, "Speaking of which, I remember that little friend Shuhang practices the ❮Basic Buddhist Fist Technique❯ and its supplementary technique, the ❮Immovable Body of the Buddha❯, right?"

"Yes."

Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue continued, "If you are already practicing the ❮Immovable Body of the Buddha❯, I have another cultivation technique in mind that is very suitable for you. This technique can likewise strengthen the const.i.tution of a cultivator. The only shortcoming is that it consumes a large amount of true qi while strengthening the const.i.tution, slowing down the advancement of the cultivator. Hmm... actually, it's pretty good for the current you. After all, your true qi has already surpa.s.sed the amount your body can withstand."
