Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension-Chapter 662 - 404: Spiritual Fire Enters the Furnace, Cauldron Becomes Mid-grade,
Chapter 662 -404: Spiritual Fire Enters the Furnace, Cauldron Becomes Mid-grade,
At that moment, the elderly man with the surname Ma also noticed him, his face first showing surprise, then turning to delighted joy as he laughed heartily, “So it’s you, lad! Haven’t seen you in years, and you’ve actually reached the Nascent Soul realm. Truly remarkable!”
“Sword Obsession Ancestor, you flatter me! If it weren’t for your help back then, how could I have reached where I am today?” Zhao Sheng humbly replied.
The elderly Mr. Ma advanced, smiling, “Back then, I acted for the sake of Sister Zhen, saving you was just something done along the way. You needn’t take it to heart.”
Hearing this, Zhao Sheng spoke earnestly, “Even so, I dare not forget the life-saving grace of the Ancestor. Should you ever have any commands in the future, just send a message, and Qiong Tian will brave any storm or fire to assist.”
Everyone likes to hear pleasant words! Although the elderly Mr. Ma wouldn’t take these formalities seriously, they still comforted him deeply.
The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, then Mr. Ma, with a tone of consultation, asked, “Let’s discuss the terms for these three matches, what rules shall we set?”
Zhao Sheng straightforwardly responded, “I believe in maintaining harmony. For the three matches, we should merely decide the winner and loser, not life or death!”
“That sounds good! Let’s start from the lowest Qi Refining Realm then!” the elderly Mr. Ma immediately agreed.
Zhao Sheng nodded, “Whatever the Ancestor decides is fine by me, I have no objections.”
At their levels, they had gradually moved away from the phase of desperately fighting for the interests of their own forces.
Apart from matters related to their own paths and crucial decisions affecting the rise and fall of their clans, other competitions or the ownership of a mid-grade spirit stone mine were all just trivial matters.
After the two Nascent Soul Ancestors easily reached an agreement, the matches quickly began officially.
The Zhao Family’s candidate was that handsome young man, while the Sky-splitting Sword Dao side was represented by a charmingly youthful girl.
Upon seeing this candidate, the hearts of the Zhao family members couldn’t help but sink.
It was known that the Sky-splitting Sword Dao was full of Sword Madmen, and for this charming girl to stand out among thousands of sword-fighting enthusiasts, her strength must be formidable, utterly incongruous with her youthful appearance.
Sure enough, as soon as the match began, the girl, wielding a sword as wide as a door, charged forward with an excited shout.
From the first exchange, it was a storm of relentless attacks without defense, sword lights fiercely striking like a storm, all while exhibiting a take-no-prisoners violent approach.
Yet under such a violent onslaught, the girl’s sword moves were strict and controlled, not messy in the slightest.
In contrast, the handsome young man moved gracefully, his observations keen. With every gesture, he deployed Five Elements Magic swiftly, as if instantly.
The watching sides from both parties focused intently on the match, repeatedly alarmed by the dangerous moments.
However, at this moment, the two Nascent Soul Ancestors were chatting joyfully, seemingly unconcerned with the match below.
Indeed, their topics had nothing to do with the match at all.
“Sword Obsession Ancestor, I heard that your Central Golden Pavilion holds a thousand jin gold essence. I wish to sacrificially refine a Magical Treasure and need a large quantity of gold essence. I wonder if we could make a trade?”
“That’s easy, but what will you offer in exchange?”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Sheng flipped his hand, revealing a Sword Pill in his palm that radiated chilling Sword Light, entirely in azure blue.
“Oh! It’s a Geng Gold Sword Pill!” the elderly Mr. Ma’s eyes sparkled, showing a hint of astonishment on his face.
Zhao Sheng smiled slightly, waved his hand, and two more Geng Gold Sword Pills appeared.
“These three Geng Gold Sword Pills were sacrificially refined together, containing four Treasure Restrictions and having been immersed in Star Sword Intent over many years. Refining these pills will undoubtedly lead to a spontaneous understanding of Star Sword Intent. It is greatly beneficial for advancing to the Golden Core realm!”
As an expert in the Sword Dao, Mr. Ma could tell at a glance that the other party was telling the truth.
The Geng Gold Sword Pill was undoubtedly a high-quality rare Sword Pill, further enhanced by the imbued Sword Intent, making it even more precious.
He pondered for a moment before asking seriously, “What kind of trade do you want to make?”
“No hurry, Ancestor, take a look at this first!”
Saying so, Zhao Sheng took out a silver-white scroll from his bosom and waved it towards the elderly Mr. Ma.
“What is this…?”
“Please, Ancestor, feel free to open it and see,” Zhao Sheng offered generously.
The elderly Mr. Ma, already having a guess in mind, unrolled the scroll readily, and immediately, a Celestial Stars Sword Formation Map prominently appeared before his eyes.
“This…”
After just one glance, an expression of astonishment appeared on Mr. Ma’s face, and soon his spirit was immersed in the Sword Formation Map.
“Ancestor… the match has already determined a winner.”
Moments later, Zhao Sheng’s call awakened the elderly Mr. Ma.
Reluctantly tearing his gaze from the map and not caring about the match’s result, he eagerly asked, “What about the corresponding Sword Dao Cultivation Technique? Don’t tell me you don’t have it; hurry up and let me see it right away!”
Zhao Sheng smiled, “Please, Ancestor, don’t be impatient. You should know that my Celestial Stars Sword Intent Technique is a secret transmission of the Heavenly Dao Sect’s Sword Lineage, leading directly to the Nascent Soul upon full mastery, and is incredibly valuable. If you wish to trade for this sword heritage, you’ll need to offer enough gold essence.”
Sparkling light flashed in Sword Obsession’s eyes as he immediately asked, “Just gold essence? No other conditions?”
“The quantity of gold essence I require is not small. If you have a dou of Innate Gold Essence, I will immediately offer up the cultivation technique,” Zhao Sheng replied.
No sooner had he spoken than Sword Obsession agreed on the spot, “Good, it’s settled then. After the match, immediately come with me to the sect; I assure you that you will return satisfied.”
After all, a Nascent Soul level Sword Dao heritage in any part of the Cultivation World is considered exceptionally rare, not to mention within the Sky-splitting Sword Dao, renowned as a Sacred Land of Sword Cultivation.
