Chapter 92: Storage Ring

  "Wanjian Gate, is a giant sect with a monarch sitting in town, its reputation and prestige are far beyond any sect within the Great Xia Empire, although it was almost destroyed by an extraordinary strong man from Shenvu Sect more than 300 years ago, there are still many treasures left behind. As the sect master, the sword in his hand can't be just a low-grade spiritual sword!"

  Among the branches of an ancient tree, Qin Tianji looked at the thousand-year-old sword in his hand, carefully measuring it, with a hint of expectation in his expression.

  Ling Jian is different from Bao Jian.

  The refinement of any spiritual sword requires a swordsman who can condense true fire to devote his entire heart and soul, in order to possibly succeed in refining it. Even among the strongest 90% or more of swordsmen use top-grade or quasi-spiritual swords. Those who can truly wield spiritual swords are generally strong practitioners who have reached the level of a great swordsman.

  As for the medium-grade Spirit Sword...

  Unless they are great swordsmen with a very strong background, or the princes of the Great Xia Dynasty and the Great Yan Dynasty who are also great swordsmen, otherwise, this treasure is just an unattainable luxury for them. Even if it's the Shengu Xiangzong, it's impossible to distribute middle-grade spiritual swords like they're cabbage to every single inner disciple.

  "Hum!"

  As Qin Tianyi inserted his spirit into the Thousand Year Sword for the second time, the entire sword body began to tremble slightly, emitting waves of sword hums.

  In the midst of the sword's cry, a surge of sharp and fierce sword energy suddenly burst forth from the sword itself. Even if it was hidden, the keen aura still made Qin Tianyi feel a chill run down his spine. If he hadn't mentally prepared himself beforehand, at this moment, he would have probably been unable to resist throwing away the spiritual sword in his hand.

  "Whoosh!"

  When this sharp energy was stimulated to a peak, Qin Tianyi suddenly drew out his sword.

  Without infusing true energy, it was just a simple stroke, a visible edge that whizzed out, and in an instant, a ancient tree seven or eight meters away was cut off at the waist. The remaining momentum did not decrease, cutting into a second ancient tree twenty meters away, leaving a deep sword mark on that ancient tree.

  "What a terrifying sharp energy, this is the true spiritual sword, a spiritual sword prepared for slaughter and battle. I only slightly touched this ancient sword with my spirit, and the sharp energy it stimulated was enough to make me tremble, even though I have a strong defense that can ignore the attacks of great swordsmen. If I were to successfully communicate with this ancient sword and stimulate its hundred percent power, what kind of astonishing level would it reach?"

  With this sword in hand, Qin Tianyi's eyes were filled with a satisfied expression.

  Although previously, in order to obtain this sword, he had killed a mid-term strong swordsman and almost fell into the pursuit of a great swordsman, but now, after clearly feeling the sharpness of this spiritual sword, everything was worth it.

  Although Yun Xiao Sword is also a sword-type spiritual instrument, its sharpness and solidity are not on the same level as this ancient sword. Even Qin Tianyi has an illusion that if Yun Xiao Sword and Ancient Sword were to clash head-on, within ten collisions, Yun Xiao Sword would shatter completely in front of Ancient Sword.

  "Unfortunately, this ancient sword's spirituality contains a vigorous vitality, sharp enough to be completely different from the Cloud Sword. The Cloud Sword has spirituality, but it seems to have already fallen, leaving only instinctual consciousness. That's why I was able to defeat its spirituality with the method from the Star Chart. However, the Ancient Sword... if I try to use this method again to forcefully control this sword, it will definitely trigger a crazy counterattack from this spiritual sword. Although there are those blue roots in my spiritual world that can reinforce it, they are now very weak. If I ultimately cannot block the sharp aura of this spiritual sword, I will have no choice but to die."

  It's a pity that the power of this ancient sword can't be fully utilized for the time being, but Qin Tianyi quickly threw away this idea.

  In any case, having obtained this at least top-grade mid-tier spiritual sword, he should be satisfied. With this sword in hand, once he masters the Tian Jie Flowing Light Sword Technique, when facing initial-stage strong swordsmen, there will no longer be any openings on his defensive end.

  A moment later, a ring appeared on Qin Tianyi's hand.

  Looking at this ring, Qin Tianyi's mind involuntarily conjured up the description of a mysterious treasure he had seen in the ancient tomes of Shenxu Academy.

  The ring of storage, internally forms space, can hold square and round objects.

  This treasure is not a spiritual instrument, but it is extremely precious in the world. Even most of the formal disciples of the Shendu Sect do not possess such treasures. Only those who have reached the Tiankong Sword Master stage and are core disciples can exchange for this item with a large amount of sect contributions.

  "The Wanjian Gate was indeed a powerful sect that had once produced a strong contender for the throne, and as its leader, possessing this object is not unusual."

  With a turn of his mind, Qin Tianyi had already condensed his spirit into a strand according to the method recorded in the classics and probed it into this storage ring.

  As his spirit probed in, a piece of space suddenly appeared in his spiritual sense.

  This space is not large, with a height of only about three meters. Inside, there are many items stored, scattered in all directions yet neatly arranged, fully revealing the importance that the original owner of this storage ring attached to the items inside.

  Qin Tianji scanned the inside for a moment, and three items with a hint of spirituality quickly caught his attention. However, before he could take out these three spiritual instruments to examine them carefully, some elixirs piled up in another place made him feel a sudden shock.

  "This is... Blood Moon Condensed Spirit Pill? One bottle... two bottles... three bottles... a total of nine bottles!"

  The Blood Moon Condensing Yuan Spirit Pill wasn't that big, and ten of them could be easily placed in a porcelain bottle. Nine bottles of pills would amount to ninety pills altogether. Even if most of the bottles were empty according to Qin Tianyi's senses, the remaining number of pills was still not small.

  "And on this side... This is the Nine Revolutions Mystical Elixir, which is of great help to the strong swordsmen's cultivation. Over there... The Life Creation Pill, a life-saving medicine that can bring people back from the dead, its value surpasses even the Blood Moon Condensation Pill... Unfortunately, most of the bottles are empty, with only two pills left... Apparently, these elixirs were all used during the battle against the fierce beasts..."

  Qin Tianyi slowly swept his gaze over the three-meter space, and every time he saw an object, he would be shocked again. Although most of the porcelain bottles were empty, the few remaining ones could still make Qin Tianyi unable to calm down for a long time.

  If those elixir bottles were all filled, it would be easy to cultivate several top swordsmen just relying on these elixirs. It's unimaginable how powerful the Wanjian Gate was during its heyday.

  "The foundation of a sect is truly terrifying, especially for a top-notch sect like the Wan Jian Men that has produced an emperor in the past."

  After a long time, until his spirit was slightly weakened, Qin Tianji finally retracted his mind and closed his eyes slightly, unable to help but let out a sigh.

  Compared with Wan Jian Men, Yun Lei Sword Sect, which has now become the number one sect in Wan Xia County, doesn't even have the qualifications to be a branch of the former.

  "The Wan Jian Men was such a powerful sect, in its heyday it could shake the ruling position of the Great Yan Dynasty, but the Shen Xiao Sect only sent one elder, and yet it was able to suppress this sect with one move. The high-ranking masters of the sect were either killed or wounded, almost to the point of annihilation. In comparison, just how powerful must the Shen Xiao Sect be?"

  Qin Tianji's heart was filled with a chill.

  No wonder, the six southeastern countries, from ordinary warriors to royal princes, all tried every means to enter the Shenyuan Academy and join the Shenyuan Sect through its assessment. Once entering the Shenyuan Sect, their status and identity changed overnight, it's not an exaggeration to say that they rose to fame instantly.

  If you can still get the attention of a certain elder or giant in the Shenxu Sect, and be accepted as a disciple, you will immediately gain a powerful backer.

  It's just like the Great Yan Dynasty. If the Great Yan Dynasty hadn't invited an elder from the Shenxu Sect to their royal court, perhaps the Great Yan Dynasty would have ceased to exist by now.

  "Calculating the time, it's actually less than a year now. In less than a year, I must cultivate to the Sword Master stage and enter the Shenxu Sect through the Shenxu Academy, becoming a member of the Shenxu Sect. Otherwise, I'll have to wait another year..."

  At this point, Qin Tianyi's gaze fell on the storage ring once again.

  "The elixirs in here have been used up to 70-80%, and there aren't many left. Most of them are only suitable for Sword Masters or higher, but the Blood Moon Condensed Spirit Elixirs can still be useful to me. Although these elixirs can't be used temporarily, there are other things besides elixirs - spiritual instruments, heavenly materials, refining equipment materials, and some cultivation techniques... If I sell these items, I can exchange them for a large amount of Refining Qi Elixirs, which can be used as currency. When the time comes, buying what I want will be easy."

  Qin Tianji said, looking around for a moment. He was now outside the Dragon Head Mountain and belonged to the outer circle of the Sun Never Sets Mountains.

  Although there are still many ferocious beasts roaming here, most of them are intermediate-level ferocious beasts, and high-level ferocious beasts are relatively rare. For Qin Tianyi back then, it was like a dead end, but for the current Qin Tianyi, it's not even worth mentioning.

  "Find a place to cultivate properly, take in enough Blood Moon Essence Pills to purify the true energy within my body as much as possible and transform it into True Origin. At the same time, I should also study the techniques of the Wan Jian Men sect and those three spiritual artifacts. The techniques will determine my progress in communicating with the Thousand Year Sword, while those three spiritual artifacts, since they can be stored in the storage ring of the Wan Jian Men sect master, are absolutely not ordinary items. If used properly, who knows, it might be another help."

  With a plan in mind, Qin Tianyi didn't waste any more time and swiftly made his way through the mountain forest. In no time, he arrived at a relatively secluded rocky area beneath the mountains. With a swing of the Thousand Year Sword, its energy shot out in all directions, quickly excavating a cave.

  The cave is not deep, but it has the advantage of being hidden. All that's needed is to make some cover at the entrance, and unless someone deliberately searches for it, this other world at the foot of the mountain will absolutely not be discovered.
