Chapter 458: Episode 14 Chapter 31 The Steward of the Mishen Palace

The serene courtyard, the towering stout trees.

Qin Yu slowly walked toward the spear stuck next to the flowerbed while carefully observing the Upper Grade Heavenly Divine Artifact, the pride of Mishen Palace’s owner, Che Hou Yuan. The spear was a simple black throughout, with a gleaming tip. Only at the edge of the spear tip was there a streak of red, akin to a thread of blood, abruptly adding an aura of killing intent. However, at this moment, the red streak on the spear tip was somewhat dim.

Upon seeing this spear, Qin Yu fell in love with it, charmed by the ancient simplicity and the hint of murderous aura.

"The achievements of the owner of Mishen Palace in Array Formation Restriction are astoundingly high," Qin Yu said with a smile as he approached the spear. Then, he wrote the character ’Yuan’ on the spear with a flourish of his finger.

The moment he finished writing the character ’Yuan’, the spear immediately emitted a faint blood-red glow.

Qin Yu seemed to smell a bloody murderous aura and looked at the spear with an even brighter gaze. The blood-red glow disappeared in a moment, but by then the appearance of the spear had drastically changed.

The shaft of the spear was dark and emitted an enchanting, profound luster, as if it could devour souls.

The spearhead was bright, and its sharpness was such that just looking at it could send a chill to the bottom of one’s heart.

At the flat edge of the spearhead was a vivid streak of blood that extended along the edge, winding around the entire spearhead. On seeing this, Qin Yu felt a surge of urge to kill.

"Heavenly Divine Artifact, I wonder if I can refine it," Qin Yu muttered.

"You can refine it." Suddenly, a voice echoed.

Qin Yu jumped in surprise, turned his head sharply, but there was no one behind him. He couldn’t help showing a shocked expression, "What the hell? I clearly heard someone speaking."

"I am here." The voice came from the side again.

Qin Yu turned his head like lightning and saw a kind-looking elderly man approaching. The benevolent old man continued, "Young man from the Immortal, Demon, and Demon Worlds, may I know your name?"

Qin Yu frowned at the person in front of him, his mind filled with confusion: "Who is he? According to the owner of Mishen Palace, there shouldn’t be anyone here, so how did a master appear?"

The reason he thought him a master was because... Qin Yu couldn’t detect the slightest hint of aura from the man. Qin Yu was certain that this person’s power must be terrifyingly strong, possibly even at the level of a Heavenly God in the Divine World.

"My name is Qin Yu. May I ask who you are, senior?" Qin Yu immediately asked.

Who exactly was this old man in front of him? Could he possibly seize this Upper Grade Heavenly Divine Spear?

"Me? I am the steward of Mishen Palace, ’Ah Fu’, a name given by my master," the kind old man smiled and said, "Qin Yu, you can call me Uncle Fu now, and if you someday become the master of the Mishen Palace, you can call me ’Ah Fu’."

Qin Yu was startled.

The great expert in front of him was actually called ’Ah Fu’? The owner of Mishen Palace was rather frivolous.

"Uncle Fu, how come you are in Mishen Palace?" Qin Yu inquired.

Uncle Fu smiled lightly and said, "Me? I have always lived in Mishen Palace; I have never left it. Even the people from the Immortal, Demon, and Demon Worlds, who come trying their luck in search of divine artifacts, I have always watched them."

Qin Yu felt somewhat ashamed.

It seemed that Uncle Fu had clearly seen everything Qin Yu had done in the Mishen Palace.

"According to the command left by the master when he departed, as long as one receives the master’s last wishes, one would be considered the sole heir. And you... are now the master’s only heir," Uncle Fu stated.

Qin Yu felt a wave of dizziness.

But Qin Yu suddenly recalled a phrase once spoken by Che Hou Yuan, the owner of Mishen Palace—"Since you have found this place and unlocked the image I left behind, you are the only one who has the chance to obtain the treasures of my Mishen Palace. Of course... whether you can obtain them depends on your opportunity and ability."

Combining the original words of Che Hou Yuan with what Uncle Fu was saying now,

Qin Yu realized one thing: unlocking that image was equivalent to inheriting the Mishen Palace, but to actually obtain anything... still depended on his own ability.

"Qin Yu, although you are considered the only heir of the master, according to the master’s command before he departed, you must possess sufficient strength to acquire the master’s two major halls. Of course... even if you don’t have enough strength, simply by unlocking the master’s hidden room, you qualify to receive this Divine Spear," Uncle Fu said with a smile.

Qin Yu nodded.

Which two major halls was Uncle Fu referring to, those inherited from the master of the Mishen Palace?

"Qin Yu, this spear is an Upper Grade Heavenly Divine Artifact, and you can refine it with your current level of Soul Cultivation," Uncle Fu said with a laugh, "Haven’t you performed the Blood Recognition to refine this Heavenly Divine Artifact yet?"

Qin Yu nodded and extended his right hand to grasp the spear.

Chilling to the bone— the dark spear shaft transmitted wave after wave of icy sensation along Qin Yu’s palm. Without hesitation, a drop of fresh blood immediately fell from his finger.

"Buzz..." With the absorption of Qin Yu’s drop of blood, the spear trembled slightly, and a blood-red light faintly glowed again, with the blood thread twining around the spear tip becoming even more vivid.

Qin Yu distinctly felt a connection, the connection between the spear and his soul!

"The spear’s name is ’Residual Snow’. It’s an Upper Grade Heavenly Divine Artifact, indestructibly hard with Shattering Body and Soul Devouring as auxiliary effects," Qin Yu suddenly had a series of information about the ’Residual Snow’ Divine Spear in his mind.

Once Qin Yu completely understood the spear’s attack power, his heart was also shocked.

"With this Divine Spear, my attack power would increase by at least ten times," Qin Yu thought excitedly, "It is indeed indestructible, capable of completely obliterating an opponent’s body, amplifying attack power. Plus, it has the Soul Devouring effect... truly formidable."

Seeing Qin Yu’s reaction, Uncle Fu spoke with a laugh, "Only with the Soul Devouring effect, can it be called an absolute treasure. The master once gathered various top materials from the Divine World and spent three years of effort refining this Upper Grade Heavenly Divine Artifact. Normal Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures have the Soul Devouring effect, but this Upper Grade Heavenly Divine Artifact also has it. The preciousness of this Residual Snow Divine Spear is beyond words."

Qin Yu nodded excitedly.

Soul Devouring!

That is, devouring the power of the soul!

For real masters in the Divine World, mere physical attacks are not very effective. Their real vulnerabilities lie in their souls! Only by annihilating the soul can one truly be victorious.

If someone is struck by this Divine Spear, even if their body is not seriously injured, their soul will weaken. If struck repeatedly by the Divine Spear, their soul might even dissipate. One can imagine the might of the Divine Spear. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"Shattering Body, if the opponent is too strong, it would be hard to achieve Shattering Body," Qin Yu said with a smile.

Uncle Fu nodded and said, "Shattering Body is an effect only because of the blood thread imprint on this Residual Snow Divine Spear’s tip. Even if the opponent’s body is strong and can’t be shattered, it can still leave a gaping hole in the opponent’s body!"

Qin Yu held the spear in one hand and swung it twice, feeling quite satisfied.

In terms of using a spear, Qin Yu was still relatively adept.

"Uncle Fu, you mentioned just now that I could refine the Residual Snow Divine Spear—how did you determine that?" Qin Yu thought of this. Refining a treasure usually depended on the soul realm.

Yet now, with such a strong soul realm, Qin Yu still couldn’t refine the Meteor Tear.

Uncle Fu said with a smile, "Refining weapons indeed depends on the soul realm. I can tell you that the realm of the immortals in the Demon, Immortal, and Demon Worlds can refine divine artifacts. However, only those whose soul realm has reached the Divine Realm can refine Heavenly Divine Weapons."

"Previously, there was also someone from the Demon, Immortal, and Demon Worlds who came here, but his soul realm was really too weak. He couldn’t even withstand the poison of the Divine World’s poison insects, let alone refine a Heavenly Divine Weapon," Uncle Fu said with a light smile.

Qin Yu nodded in understanding.

So, Heavenly Divine Weapons required a Divine Soul Realm to refine.

His soul had now reached the ’Soul Golden Core’ realm, which was the Divine Realm, but why couldn’t he refine the Meteor Tear? What exactly was the Meteor Tear?

"Uncle Fu, are there any treasures that even someone in the Divine Realm cannot refine?" Qin Yu asked.

"Yes," Uncle Fu nodded and said, "Heavenly Divine Weapons and divine artifacts are man-made and relatively easy to refine. There is another type of weapon—Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure—that is very difficult to refine."

Qin Yu thought of three items—the Jiang Lan Realm, Meteor Tear, and the Golden Orb he obtained at the Fourteen-star Emperor Level Dark Star.

He couldn’t fully refine any of these three items.

"How difficult is it to refine Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures?" Qin Yu eagerly asked.

"It’s not just difficult to refine; Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures have ’spiritual intelligence.’ To refine it, it’s not just about ability but also opportunity and many other factors," Uncle Fu, who had followed the owner of Mishen Palace for many years, knew much.

"Some Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures can be completely refined by a mortal if they are destined while some, even for Heavenly Gods, are hard to refine," Uncle Fu said with a smile, "Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures, containing Hongmeng Spiritual Energy, depend on your ability and luck to be refined."

"Of course, the higher your soul realm, the easier it is to successfully refine Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures," Uncle Fu summarized.

Qin Yu pondered and nodded.

Now Qin Yu understood that Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures, whether naturally conceived Hongmeng Innate Spiritual Treasures or man-made Hongmeng Postnatal Spiritual Treasures, all contain Hongmeng Spiritual Energy... Refining them was not so simple.

"The Jiang Lan Realm was refined by Uncle Lan; it should be a Hongmeng Postnatal Spiritual Treasure," Qin Yu secretly thought.

With his current strength, he still couldn’t fully open the third layer of the Jiang Lan Realm; Qin Yu naturally had his judgment.

"As for the Meteor Tear, it acknowledged me as its master when I was still a mortal by entering my body. But till now, I haven’t fully controlled the Meteor Tear; it seems it is also a Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure," Qin Yu chuckled.

Although he hasn’t fully controlled it yet, in the Mortal World, the Meteor Tear had acknowledged him as the master, clearly showing that the Meteor Tear and he were fated.

Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures could indeed be refined by mortals. This point was correct.

"It’s a pity about the Golden Orb, even the touch of soul power is frozen; I really don’t know how to refine it," Qin Yu thought to himself, then he shook his head and stopped pondering it further.

After putting away the Upper Grade Heavenly Divine Weapon ’Residual Snow,’ Qin Yu was talking with Uncle Fu, the steward of Mishen Palace, while walking towards a row of weapon racks filled with various weapons.

"That person from the Demon, Immortal, and Demon Worlds who came here holding the Mysterious God Scroll, just stepped on a dead poison insect. Alas, with such weak soul power, yet coveting a Heavenly Divine Weapon, wasn’t that seeking death?" Uncle Fu said with a light laugh.

Qin Yu looked at the area covered with dead poison insects on the floor.

"Uncle Fu, is the poison of these poison insects very strong?" Qin Yu asked.

"Not strong, if your soul has reached the Divine Realm and achieved the Soul Golden Core. Even if you are poisoned by these insects, it would only take a short while to detoxify. But if your soul has not yet formed the Soul Golden Core, once poisoned, death is certain," Uncle Fu said calmly.

Qin Yu nodded, then walked towards the Heavenly Divine Weapons on the weapon racks.

"Are all these Heavenly Divine Weapons, what grade are they?" Qin Yu inquired.

Uncle Fu nodded and said, "These Heavenly Divine Weapons are just some decorative items casually refined by the master, using discarded materials left by the guests. They are all Low Grade Heavenly Divine Weapons and have no special effects; quite ordinary."

Qin Yu inwardly sighed.

Discarded materials left by the guests?

This Mishen Palace master was truly powerful, casually refining a row of Heavenly Divine Weapons and using them as decorative items.

"If you want to take them, just pack them up. But you don’t have a space ring of Heavenly God level, do you? It would be difficult to collect them," Uncle Fu said with a light laugh, but Qin Yu just mysteriously smiled.

Approaching the weapon rack, Qin Yu was moved.

"Collect!"

The weapon rack then disappeared into thin air, and of course, Qin Yu had taken the row of Low Grade Heavenly Divine Weapons into the Jiang Lan Realm.

"You," Uncle Fu looked at Qin Yu in shock, "you have a space ring of Heavenly God level? These space storage items are very difficult to refine. The master hates refining these kinds of items the most. Instead, those Divine Kings who are not great at refining but control the Space Law, find it relatively easy to refine space rings."

Qin Yu smiled slightly.

Specialization matters, those standing at the peak of the Divine World as Divine Kings have completely mastered the Space Law, so refining space rings naturally wouldn’t be too challenging. Even Che Hou Yuan, however powerful, still doesn’t match a Divine King in comprehending the Space Law.

"Uncle Fu, you mentioned earlier about the two palaces left by the owner of Mishen Palace, which two are they?" Qin Yu’s mind had been hanging on this.

"I know you’ve been wondering about this," Uncle Fu turned to look at the palaces behind and to the right, then said, "Qin Yu, Mishen Palace is divided into four major palaces: the Front Hall, Transfer Hall, Artifact Hall, and Fire Refining Hall. Almost all treasures and so on are hidden in the Artifact Hall and Fire Refining Hall."
