The Universal Book was divided into over 100 categories, like medicinal pills, talisman formations, rare treasures, etc. Amongst them, the number of Magic Treasures was undoubtedly the highest and it occupied half the Universal Book.
The make of the Universal Book was exquisite beyond compare as well, and a Formation Master had placed a Minor Illusory Rainbow Formation on it. The treasures that were displayed on every page were lifelike, as if the real objects were emitting dazzling lights as it was displayed before oneâs eyes, and it was extremely beautiful.
Chen Xi repeatedly sighed in surprise in his heart as he flipped through the Universal Book.
The Magic Treasures in the book started from sabers, spears, swords, halberds, axes, battle-axes, hooks, tridents⌠Even treasure bottles, glazed crystals, lanterns, lotus thrones, etc. It simple contained everything, and it indeed could be said to cover all things within the universe.
âChen Xi, if you flip through it like this, then you wouldnât finish even after three days and three nights.â Duanmu Ze reminded from the side. âThe Universal Book is known to be covering all things within the universe, the Magic Treasures gathered within it is an astronomical figure!â
Hu!
Chen Xi lightly let out a mouthful of air and cleared his head, then he tossed away the disorderly and distracting thoughts in his mind, then found the sword formation category right away before starting to flip through it one by one.
After all, even if there were more Magic Treasures in the book, most of them werenât suitable for him. Only by finding the Magic Treasure he was skilled in would he be able to make full use of his strength.
After Chen Xi sighed in surprise, he shook his head. The eight Netherezim Flying Swords were all of the icy attribute, and the Ice Crane Technique he cultivated was an icy attribute cultivation technique. Water and fire didnât mix, so no matter how formidable the Azureflame Splitlight Sword Formation was, it was still unsuitable for him.
One by one, Chen Xi flipped through the sword formation diagrams.
Even if it was one that Chen Xi wasnât adept in using, he would still be extremely covetous when he looked at it, yet only a few sword formations truly moved his heart.
Whoosh!
The Universe Book was lifted open once again.
The nearby Le Qi couldnât refrain from reminding when he saw this. âFellow Daoist, you seem to still be at the Violet Palace Realm, right? Continuing hereafter in the Universe Book are profound-rank sword formation diagrams that are things Golden Palace Realm cultivators choose. Iâm afraid youâre unable to use it.â
Ordinarily, man-made yellow-rank, profound-rank, earth-rank, and heaven-rank Magic Treasures of every grade had their own requirements for the strength of the soul and True Essence. For example, a profound-rank Magic Treasure required a cultivation of at least at the Golden Hall Realm to bind it, or an earth-rank Magic Treasure required a cultivation at least at the Gold Core Realm to bind it.
However, Chen Xi was an exception.
His soul had already condensed into Spiritual Perception, and it even surpassed ordinary Golden Hall Realm cultivators, whereas the Ice Crane Technique he cultivated caused his True Essence to be incomparably thick and pure. Although he was only at the 5th star of the Violet Palace Realm, his True Essence was even thicker than some perfection-stage Violet Palace Realm cultivators, and this was the benefit of cultivating a treasured qi refinement cultivation technique.
According to Chen Xiâs current cultivation, it wouldnât be strenuous to control a profound-rank sword formation.
After all, a sword formation was able to control numerous flying swords according to a profound formation in battle. In essence, it still tested the strength of the soul towards the flying swords, and together with the True Essence, they decided the might of the sword formation together.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Chen Xi paid no attention to him and silently flipped through the sword formations.
Le Qi didnât continue offering advice when he saw this. Chen Xi was the buyer after all, and if Chen Xi wanted to buy a heaven-rank Magic Treasure, he couldnât interfere with it, right?
Chen Xi was stunned, and only now did he clearly see the label on the corner âIncomplete,â and he couldnât help but sigh with emotion.
âMaster Le, how much spirit liquid is this Oblivionwind Flowinglight Sword Formation worth?â Chen Xi raised his head and asked.
â400,000 kgs.â Le Qi was extremely afraid that Chen Xi would misunderstand and explained. âEven though this Oblivionwind Flowinglight Sword Formation is incomplete, its might is one of the most formidable amongst profound-rank sword formations. If it wasnât for it being incomplete, its worth would be greatly higher.â
No matter how coolly Du Qingxiâs group of three were, they couldnât help but be speechless when they heard this amount, and they all moved forward to inspect this formation.
âThe might of this sword formation is indeed formidable, as only an incomplete formation is able to attain the ranks of profound-ranks sword formation, but its requirements towards True Essence and the strength of the soul is extremely harsh. Chen Xi, although youâve already attained the Violet Palace Realm now, buying it is probably slightly inadvisable, right?â Du Qingxi advised as well. âNo matter how great a sword formation is, itâs still trash if it canât be used after purchase. I suggest you pick another and find one that suits you better, as only then would you be able to make full use of your entire strength.â
âYeah, donât strive to outdo yourself.â Duanmu Ze said as well.
âChen Xi, please think it over!â Even Song Lin who was always had sleepy eyes and was in a daze had spoken out.
âDonât worry, I know what Iâm doing.â Chen Xi lightly smiled, then said to Le Qi right away, âIâll take this Oblivionwind Flowinglight Sword Formation!â
âAlright, Iâll send this sword formation diagram over later. I wonder if Fellow Daoist still requires anything else?â Le Qi answered with an expressionless face, yet he sighed in his heart.
â56 flying swords, all of the high-grade yellow-rank.â Chen Xi had thought it over before saying this. He possessed eight top-grade yellow-rank Netherezim Flying Swords, so if he wanted to execute the second level of the Oblivionwind Flowinglight Sword Formation, he naturally required another 56 flying swords. However, the Oblivionwind Flowinglight Sword Formation was a profound-rank sword formation after all, and he was afraid that he wouldnât be able to control it very well, so he could only take the second best and choose high-grade yellow-rank flying swords.
When he thought up to here, Chen Xi suddenly recalled his younger brother, Chen Hao.
Instantly, Chen Xi said once more, âBesides that, Iâll purchase another 64 high-grade yellow-rank flying swords.â
Hiss!
Even if Le Qi had already recognized Chen Xi as a rich manâs son that threw money about, he couldnât refrain from gasping when he heard this and said with a stutter, âFellow Daoist Chen Xi, one high-grade yellow-tank flying sword is worth 10,000 kgs of spirit liquid, so many flying swords are worth 1.2 million kgs of spirit liquid!â
At the same time, he felt inexpressible excitement in his heart.
Le Qi started counting swiftly in his mind, and a strong feeling of happiness surged through his entire body, causing him to be unable to restrain a trace of a silly smile from appearing on his face.
The nearby Du Qingxi and the others were startled by Chen Xiâs actions as well, but they didnât question him when they saw Chen Xiâs calm expression, as he didnât seem to have gone mad. But even then, these direct line disciples born of the great clans couldnât help but be endlessly amazed by Chen Xiâs lavish spending.
If he said it didnât pain him to spend 1.6 million Kgs of spirit liquid in a short moment, that would be a lie. However, when he thought of how his strength would be able to increase greatly, and when he thought of the happy smile Chen Hao would have when he gifted the 64 flying swords to him, Chen Xi felt that all this was worth it.
Because he had the Violetgold Treasure Heaven Token in his possession, Le Qi gave Chen Xi a discount of 100,000 Kgs of spirit liquids. When he walked out of the Treasure Heaven Pavilion, not only did Chen Xiâs storage ring have an additional sword formation diagram, there were also 120 high-grade yellow-rank flying swords and another 1.5 million Kgs of spirit liquids that was the remainder after selling the spirit materials and deducting the cost of buying the sword formation diagram and flying swords.
Originally, Chen Xi intended to buy some Magic Treasures for Du Qingxi and the others, but he encountered constant refusal from the three. According to what Duanmu Ze said, âYou should keep these spirit liquids for your cultivating. As for the three of us? We donât lack money!â
It was already deep into the night, yet it was still dazzling within Misty Sea City, and it seemed like a city that never sleeps as it stood beneath the night sky.
The clans behind Du Qingxi and the others all had a branch in Misty Sea City that was used for auctioning and purchasing goods, and their scales were rather big, possessing numerous Golden Hall Realm experts holding down the forts.
After they left Treasure Heaven Pavilion, the three of them had all invited Chen Xi to head to their clanâs outpost to stay, but Chen Xi refused, as he was anxious to return home as soon as possible.
Compared to Du Qingxiâs group of three, Chen Xi actually was only too anxious to return to Pine Mist City as soon as possible, and return to the home that heâd been separated from for a year.
Compelled by their helplessness, the three of them could only bring Chen Xi to the largest Immortal Indulgence Restaurant in Misty Sea City, as they planned to eat a banquet full of flavor and spirit energy as a form of farewell.
The Immortal Indulgence Restaurantâs size was large beyond all doubt, and its layout was elegant and refined, thus influential people within Misty Sea City were greatly fond of it.
It was already dawn when Chen Xiâs group arrived at the Immortal Indulgence Restaurant, yet the flow of customers within were still numerous like the clouds. Its business was extremely explosive and there were already no more rooms, thus they could only helplessly sit at a place nearby the window.
Drink wine, enjoy dishes and chat.
Unknowingly, the four youths had recalled the scene when they first met each other. They recalled the sorrows and happiness throughout their journey. They made fun and cursed angrily, ridiculed and cracked jokes, and the atmosphere was unrestrained. It was extremely satisfying and extremely comfortable.
Even the smiles on Chen Xiâs face grew more and more. Friendship that had experiences life, death, trials and tribulations, was like strong wine that was rich and suffused the mouth. The longer it lingered, the more fragrant the wine tasted, until the point one would always remember and recollect it.
Where there was happy gathering, there was also parting.
Outside the city gates of Misty Sea City, Chen Xi waved his hand in farewell towards Du Qingxiâs group of three who were atop the city walls, then leaped onto the treasured vessel before swiftly flashing towards the distant sky.
âChen Xi, weâll be waiting for you in Dragon Lake City for the southern territoryâs Hidden Dragon Rankings a year from now, you must come!â Duanmu Zeâs screaming at the top of his lungs sounded out from afar.
Chen Xi stood on the bow and boundless lofty sentiments surged out from within his heart.
