Chapter 209 : Exclusive Blade?
“How did they know that the legacy of the Crimson Moon Martial Sage is in Qinghe City?
“Photos?
“Yes, the photo!
“Leng Lin took a photo of the mysterious stone tablet by the river and out of curiosity, uploaded it online, thereby attracting the attention of relevant insiders!
“The Hundred Flower Valley has Wang Tiedao, the Changyang Prefecture Army has garrisoned troops, and Lu Wuchang came to Qinghe before the new year. Through who did the murderer of the disciple from the Hundred Flower Valley find out about the photo of the stone tablet then?
“Or has the murderer been in Qinghe City all this time?”
Su Jingxing narrowed his eyes.
After a series of analyses, he was pretty close to the truth.
Even though he had no idea who the murderer was, Su Jingxing had a strong hunch that this murderer and the black shadow who had stolen the stone tablet from the Myriad Treasures Court’s auction were most likely the same person!
This person had been in Qinghe City the whole time!
‘The target of these factions was the legacy of the Crimson Moon Martial Sage.
With this in mind, for some reason, Su Jingxing began to look forward to seeing the Crimson Moon’s legacy.
This is a Martial Sage’s legacy. Anyone will be tempted by it.
We just don’t know what the legacy contains.
Iwill be at a loss for words if it turns out to be the same as the treasure in the Mausoleum of Prince Qin.
Even though Liu Chenglong’s Martial Art True Intent, the Sishui Horned Dragons, was pretty good, and the materialized worldly energy ball was also very good, none of the rare treasures and spirit weapons that Liu Chenglong owned when he was alive were placed in the mausoleum.
Even the defensive Transcendent Body Card was something that Su Jingxing obtained using his own cheat ability.
The legacy of the Crimson Moon Martial Sage shouldn’t be that petty. It should contain a lot of good stuff, right?
Su Jingxing thought to himself.
However, there were many people who wanted the legacy of the Crimson Moon Martial Sage.
Even if Su Jingxing was tempted, there was nothing he could do.
Now that the mysterious stone tablet had been snatched away, no one knew whose hands it had ended up in.
Everyone had their eyes on the legacy of the Crimson Moon Martial Sage. It would be extremely difficult to get hold of it.
Of course, compared to others, Su Jingxing had at least one more advantage.
‘That was to say, there was a 90% chance that he had discovered the location of the legacy of the Crimson Moon Martial Sage.
Deep in the center of the Green Cloud Mountain Range!
It wouldn’t be easy for others to find that place.
Opening the legacy ground was yet another troublesome matter.
Therefore, Su Jingxing had all the time in the world to slowly come into contact with the legacy ground.
Before that, he had to get stronger.
After “watching” all the memories, Su Jingxing took out the Buddha Flame Root.
This treasure was a chip to increase his strength.
By infusing it with the Heaven Trampling True Energy, its power would be boosted!
As for how to consume the Buddha Flame Root?
Instinctively, Su Jingxing locked onto the Dragon Melting Cauldron.
Boiling it in the Dragon Melting Cauldron could 100% preserve its energy, and the resulting potions would be easier to absorb and digest.
With this in mind, Su Jingxing took out the Dragon Melting Cauldron and controlled his true energy to cleanse this spirit weapon cauldron.
Having been used by the He Family to boil human flesh and blood for hundreds of years, the residual aura on the Dragon Melting Cauldron was extremely strong.
Su Jingxing cleansed it with his true energy; a day wasn’t enough.
He continued on the second day and the third.
On the morning of the fourth day, he finally managed to get rid of all the residual aura on the Dragon Melting Cauldron.
Satisfied, he placed the Flaming Buddha Root into the Dragon Melting Cauldron.
$u Jingxing who had been exuding his true energy for four days did not immediately expend his true energy to boil the pot.
Instead, he stopped to rest and recover.
The amount of true energy required to cleanse the Dragon Melting Cauldron was limited.
The true excessive consumption came with burning true energy to cook the Buddha Flame Roots.
Each time the He Family cooked, they had three people taking turns.
This was because the flow of true energy could not stop during the cooking process.
Therefore, since Su Jingxing had to boil the pot alone, he had to persevere all the way at once.
He wondered if more than 800 years of true energy cultivation was enough.
Fortunately, Su Jingxing had a True Energy Card reserves that could replenish his true energy anytime.
That was where his confidence lay.
After a short break, he was about to put the lid back on the pot when a bright blade beam flashed across the sides of the pot.
“What’s going on?”
$u Jingxing raised his eyebrows, removed the lid, and scrutinized the sides.
‘The Dragon Melting Cauldron that had been cleansed was bright and clean, similar to an ordinary, enlarged version of a clay pot.
But on closer inspection, one would find that it was made of metal, with black on the outside and golden on the inside.
Had Su Jingxing not been sharp-eyed enough and missed the flash of the blade, he would have thought it was a reflection on the inside.
He inspected the pot carefully, his eyes fixed on the golden inner walls.
Five minutes later, another blade beam flashed past!
“Why are there blade flashes on the walls?”
“Oris this the effect of the Dragon Melting Cauldron? To slice through the food stored within using the flickering of blade beams?”
Su Jingxing was in thought.
A moment later, he took out the Buddha Flame Root. Then, he focused his attention on sensing the Dragon Melting Cauldron.
Swish!
As soon as they came into contact, the strange sound of a blade aura slicing through flesh resounded in Su Jingxing’s mind.
Swish!
Then, there was another slash.
Swish!
Swish!
Slashes came one after another. It seemed like there really was a saber on the inside of the Dragon Melting Cauldron that was moving and slicing through the air.
But that was only on the surface!
Su Jingxing’s soul power was powerful enough.
The strange sound of the blade energy slicing through flesh echoed in his mind, but it did not affect his soul or mind.
It was like a piece of recorded music.
‘The Dragon Melting Cauldron was the medium and anyone with a spiritual connection could hear it!
However, as he focused his senses on the music and continued deepening his perception, Su Jingxing really did hear the sound of a blade vibrating!
No one knew where the blade was, but due to a certain connection it had with the Dragon Melting Cauldron, its vibration could be heard through the Dragon Melting Cauldron.
‘The direct expression of that was blade beams flashing on the inner walls of the Dragon Melting Cauldron.
Blade, pot.
“Could it be that this blade from who knows where is part of a set with the Dragon Melting Cauldron? They were crafted together?
“And that’s why they share a connection?”
Su Jingxing started working his brains.
He recalled that the spirit weapon kitchen knife He Lieren used when he was alive might not have been the original one.
The unknown blade was the true match for the Dragon Melting Cauldron.
‘The He Family had most likely gotten the kitchen knife by themselves subsequently.
‘The He Family didn’t know that the Dragon Melting Cauldron came with a special blade, or rather, they knew, but could not get their hands on it.
‘That would explain the mysterious connection between the blade gleam and the Dragon Melting Cauldron.
“The blade exclusive to the Dragon Melting Cauldron has been vibrating non-stop. This means that this blade is also a spirit weapon, and it hasn’t acknowledged a master!”
It was impossible for such a situation to happen to a spirit weapon with an owner.
‘There was definitely something wrong with it if it kept vibrating non-stop.
“Where is the blade?”
Su Jingxing’s interest was piqued.
It was an exclusive blade of the Dragon Melting Cauldron, and a spirit weapon that had yet to recognize its owner.
If he could get his hands on it, his strength would undoubtedly be significantly boosted once again.
Thunderbolt required charging, and he dared not use it recklessly.
A blade exclusive to the Dragon Melting Cauldron shouldn’t have a problem. He could use it as he pleased.
‘The question was, where was it?
‘The connection between it and the Dragon Melting Cauldron had been established from the very beginning thanks to the custom effects of spirit weapons.
It had nothing to do with distance.
Therefore, he had to think of another way to find the blade.
Injecting true energy?
It didn’t work.
The blade beam continued to flash at a fixed frequency, but the Dragon Melting Cauldron did not react.
Heating the bottom of the cauldron with true energy?
It was useless.
The nature of the Dragon Melting Cauldron determined its function.
‘The connection it had with the blade was only an exception. Yet when he really got into contact with it, there was nothing unusual.
He increased his soul power to continue sensing, but he could still hear the vibration after some time.
It became faster and slower, but never changed.
Su Jingxing tried all kinds of methods, but to no avail.
“Hold on.”
Suddenly, Su Jingxing recalled something.
‘The Dragon Melting Cauldron was Liu Chenglong’s spirit weapon when he was alive, even if it was just used for cooking.
If… if Liu Chenglong wanted to control it, would that also establish a connection?
The tool used for the connection was the Martial Art True Intent, the Sishui Horned Dragons!
With that in mind, Su Jingxing released the Sishui Horned Dragon and it circled him once.
Finally, it dived straight into the Dragon Melting Cauldron.
Buzz!
The Dragon Melting Cauldron let out a tremor and distorted the air.
Under the stimulation of the Sishui Horned Dragon, the Dragon Melting Cauldron, which had been inactive earlier, suddenly shook violently.
Tap tap tap!
The bottom of the Dragon Melting Cauldron touched the ground, emitting strange sounds.
Like it was dancing, shaking non-stop.
At this moment, the entire cauldron seemed to come alive. The inner walls shone brightly with golden light, and a black horned dragon was circling around the outer wall of the pot. From time to time, it would raise its head and roar into the sky.
Roar!
Buzz!
Roar!
Buzz!
A dragon’s roar and a buzzing vibration echoed one another at a distance.
At an unknown distance, the Dragon Melting Cauldron and its exclusive blade were successfully connected, calling out to each other.
Through this “connection”, Su Jingxing finally sensed the exact location of this blade.
Southwest!
To his southwest, but it was unknown how far away it was.
However, as long as he flew in the southwest direction, he would be able to find this exclusive blade.
If the connection broke midway, he would be able to reestablish it by releasing the Sishui Horned Dragons and putting it into the Dragon Melting Cauldron.
Therefore, Su Jingxing was going to take this blade!
Compared to a spirit weapon, he was no longer in a hurry to fuse with the Buddha Flame Root.
Putting away the Dragon Melting Cauldron and the Buddha Flame Root, Su Jingxing quickly left the house. After putting on his equipment, he got ready to head southwest.
However, as soon as he entered the back mountain and soared into the sky, he heard a loud bang coming from Qinghe City.
Boom!
A dull explosion resounded through half of Qinghe City.
Su Jingxing stopped in his tracks and looked towards the source of the sound.
In the air above the region between the Western and Southern Districts, two figures were clashing fiercely, launching powerful attacks at each other.
As they fought, they rose into the air or charged towards the ground.
One of them was a black-robed figure whose face could not be seen clearly.
‘The other was a long-haired woman with an extraordinary aura. She was noble and elegant. She swung a long sword and fought the black-robed man.
‘The two of them attacked without any scruples. As her sword swung down, if the sword energies were not dispersed, they would rush to the ground or slice tall buildings in half.
Huge cracks appeared on the ground, and all the glass on both sides of the road had shattered.
Some of the innocent people who were unable to dodge in time died on the spot, and miserable cries sounded non-stop.
Likewise, the black-robed man struck out with his palm like the wind, transforming his claws into evil spirits. In a flash, he released claw winds that tore through the air, destroyed buildings, and shattered houses.
In less than half a minute, the two of them had destroyed two streets.
“Stop!”
Before Su Jingxing could make a move, an angry yell resounded in the city.
Swish!
A blinding light, accompanied by a huge shadow, rushed out of a building towards the two people fighting in the air.
Rip!
Boom!
‘The strange sound of air tearing spread through half the city.
‘The huge explosion sounded like a missile detonating, emitting intense light and heat.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Spear shadows!
Dense spear shadows surrounded the long-haired woman and the black-robed man in the midst of the backlight, forcing them to burst into the sky.
“yan Zi! I can understand your desire for revenge, but please go somewhere else for that! Go outside the city and into the mountains. You can vent all you want. Even if you blow up the mountain, no one will care!”
A deep roar reverberated through the air.
A tall figure charged into the sky with a spear in hand.
Ina low position, he issued a warning to the long-haired woman in the high position and took action.
As he spoke, the spear in his hand brought with it waves of backlight, forcing the black-robed man to continuously retreat, retreat, and retreat.
Until
Roar!
Ahideous snake with three heads and a length of more than ten meters stretched out from behind the black-robed man’s head. It pounced at the tall figure with a snarl.
It swallowed the spear shadows that the other party had thrust out one by one.
Whoosh!
Flowers bloomed under the long-haired woman’s feet at the right time, and the air around her distorted.
Ahuge peony flower appeared out of thin air in front of everyone.
‘The flower spun, and the stamen emitted gas.
The long-haired woman sat on it. With a wave of her hand, she controlled the peony flower to crush the right-most head of the three-headed snake.
Roar!
The remaining two heads of the snake roared sinisterly.
The black-robed man controlling it suddenly flashed. With a bang, he turned into a black mist and exploded in the air.
“Trying to escape?”
The long-haired woman shouted coldly as she sat on the peony flower and formed seals with her hands.
Swish!
The peony flower swiftly flew south like a high-speed jet.
“Hmph!”
The tall figure held his spear in his hand and chased after them.
‘They were very fast. One after another, they disappeared into the air.
‘When the chaotic aura in the sky dissipated completely, the sky was clear again.
On the ground, the hiding crowd finally returned to the street. Looking at the sky, they shouted, yelled, and discussions rose.
‘Those who suffered an undeserved catastrophe, and died, or were severely injured could only accept their bad luck.
This was because this was the result of the aftermath of the battle between two third-grade experts.
‘There was nowhere to seek justice.
Had it not been for the tall figure with the spear coming out to stop them, the damage would have been more than two streets.
If third-grade experts were to fight freely, the terrifying aftermath could turn half of Qinghe City into ruins.
“Who are these two people?”
Su Jingxing stopped in midair and frowned in thought.
Yan Zi?
The long-haired woman is called Yan Zi? Her Martial Art True Intent is a peony flower.
“Wait, flower?”
Su Jingxing’s eyes lit up. He thought of something and murmured in a low voice, “Is this woman from the Hundred Flower Valley?
“That’s right. She’s probably the elder from the Hundred Flower Valley who came to investigate their disciple’s cause of death.
“Tm not sure about black-robed man.
“And the tall man with the long spear, he’s most likely the reinforcement for the Martial Suppression Office, a third-grade expert, a Universal Envoy!”
