Chapter 29: Eating and Taking (2/2)

Elder Xuanji realized that those one hundred thousand spirit stones were waiting here!

At that moment, the best sword in his possession was only a Spiritual Grade sword, which was worth around forty thousand spirit stones. Ning Wuxie thought it would be acceptable to take one as well.

“Wait, I will go get you a sword, a Spiritual Grade one, is that okay?!”

“Sure, that would be great!” The scheme succeeded, and Ning Wuxie smiled exceptionally brightly.

“By the way, Elder Xuanji, there is one more thing.”

Elder Xuanji was about to turn around when he heard Ning Wuxie speak again.

“Do you have any suitable cultivation methods for beginners? It would be best if it were Cultivator Grade or higher…”

As Elder Xuanji’s face grew darker, Ning Wuxie obtained a Spiritual Grade sword and a Cultivator Grade cultivation method titled “Spirit Mantra.”

With the addition of those two cushions, Ning Wuxie found it difficult to carry everything with both hands. Under his repeated hints, Elder Xuanji even gifted him a storage ring.

Ning Wuxie clasped his hands together and bowed to Elder Xuanji in farewell.

Only Elder Xuanji remained standing at the door, feeling disheveled in the wind…

He silently calculated in his heart that it seemed the Heavenly Heart Sword Formation, which was a treasured item, had ultimately sold for over three hundred thousand spirit stones to Ning Wuxie?

He suddenly remembered that Jiang Ren had wanted to exchange one million spirit stones for it…

The next two days of the minor competition in Area B were rather uneventful, and Ning Wuxie consecutively defeated three opponents.

After learning that his ranking had stabilized in the Hermit Valley’s A area, he decisively admitted defeat and went home to accompany Xuan’er.

The “Spirit Mantra” was also handed over to Xuan’er, allowing her to begin cultivation.

Xuan’er’s first manifestation of her cultivation Gift surprised Ning Wuxie. A rather thick cultivation method was completely understood by her in just two days, enabling her to guide True Qi to flow correctly.

Such comprehension was simply not like that of a human!

He thought about the strange phenomena before Xuan’er’s awakening, where the laws of the world’s fundamental source danced in the air…

It seemed that for Xuan’er, this performance was considered normal.

At the same time, Ning Wuxie was also preparing to break through to the Refining Qi stage and officially enter the Spirit Condensing Realm.

Upon entering the Spirit Condensing Realm, cultivators began to truly possess their spirit body, allowing them to extend their consciousness beyond their bodies to explore their surroundings and control treasures with their thoughts, mastering sword techniques.

The Spirit Body was also an important foundation for cultivators. In the Spirit Condensing Realm, cultivators would successively experience six stages of the Spirit Body: Stone Bamboo Soul, Stone Sun Soul, Rubble Gold Soul, Red Gold Soul, Pith Jade Soul, and Spirit Jade Soul.

This process was not as random as condensing True Essence during the Refining Qi period; as long as cultivators progressed step by step through the six stages, all cultivators would reach them.

The key point was that one’s own realm would not wait.

If cultivators broke through from the ninth level of the Spirit Condensing Realm to the Core Formation stage while still possessing the Gravel Gold Soul as their Spirit Body, they would forever remain at that level.

In terms of Spirit Body power, they would be weaker than cultivators with lower realms but higher-grade spirit bodies in the Spirit Condensing Realm.

Previously, Ning Wuxie had already promised Meng Cangran to delve into the Mountains together to seek the descending divine beast Bai Ze.

The Confucian Sect needed a drop of Bai Ze’s blood to save the dying Xuanqin emperor Ying Yan.

This was also the reason for exchanging the Heavenly Heart Sword Formation.

Of course, relying solely on the two of them was impossible. Meng Cangran mentioned that there would be other teammates but did not tell Ning Wuxie, only saying that he would know when the time came.

As a reward, Meng Cangran offered a payment of one million spirit stones! If successful, it would double!

The Confucian Sect was indeed the true court of the Spirit Martial Continent; their financial power was astonishingly extravagant.

In addition to spirit stones, there were other resources that led Ning Wuxie to agree to Meng Cangran’s invitation.

Inside the mountain was a pure and primitive forest that had not been stepped into for thousands of years. Once cultivators surged in, there would be no external constraints, turning it into the most brutal hunting ground!

Ning Wuxie thought that since he could plunder Jiang Ren’s True Essence, then perhaps he could do the same with others…
