135: Chapter 135 Gold Entry Repair

The days of Cultivation passed very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, another year had gone by.

Inside a small courtyard of the Heavenly Sword Sect's Outer Sect.

Qin Changsheng sat cross-legged, a layer of faint, shimmering white spiritual power lingering around him. As the spiritual power circulated, it drove the surrounding Spiritual Qi to gather frantically, forming a visible vortex of Spiritual Qi around his body.

His eyes were tightly shut, his brows slightly furrowed, and his expression was focused and calm. The aura around him was steady and restrained, yet it emitted an increasingly powerful Pressure.

Since returning to the Heavenly Sword Sect, Qin Changsheng had never been even slightly negligent.

Every day, he would Cultivate before dawn, absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, tempering his own mana, and organizing his spiritual power Meridians, persisting in bitter Cultivation day and night.

Whether it was the dead of winter or the height of summer, he always remained at his place of Cultivation, discarding all distracting thoughts and focusing solely on the Dao.

Such extreme bitter Cultivation finally brought rich rewards.

Yesterday, he finally broke through the third level of Foundation Establishment and entered the fourth level.

The mana within his body had also received a significant boost; it was thick and pure, like a surging river, flowing smoothly through his Meridians without any sense of obstruction during its operation.

Over this past year, besides raising his Cultivation to the fourth level of Foundation Establishment,

Qin Changsheng had also raised the Fire Snake Technique to Perfection.

The power of the Fire Snake Technique had also received a significant boost.

However, these were not what made Qin Changsheng the happiest.

What made Qin Changsheng the happiest was that his trait extraction count had finally refreshed.

He could extract a new trait again.

Qin Changsheng took a deep breath, and the aura around his body gradually calmed down.

trait extraction relied entirely on Opportunity; it allowed for no impatience. Only with a clear mind and focused spirit could one have the best chance of drawing a desired trait.

He slowly closed his eyes, discarded all distracting thoughts, concentrated his entire spirit within his body, and focused his inner vision, locking his gaze firmly onto that newly lit Golden Trait extraction node.

“Extract,” Qin Changsheng muttered in his heart.

As the extraction began, countless golden points of light appeared on the attribute panel.

Time passed slowly, and in just a few breaths, the gathered golden points of light gradually took shape. A condensed and heavy Golden Trait slowly emerged from the halo, floating within Qin Changsheng’s Divine Sense, emitting an ancient and powerful aura. The characters were neat and clear—[Repair].

Qin Changsheng focused his mind to perceive the information of this new trait [Repair]. Countless fragments of insight instantly flooded into his mind, imprinting the effects and characteristics of this trait entirely into his Divine Sense.

The core effect of this Golden Trait [Repair] was extremely powerful.

It could Repair all treasures in the world, regardless of the degree of damage. Whether it was a Magical Artifact, a Medicinal Pill, spiritual materials, or even a damaged Secret Realm Formation, as long as there were enough Spirit Stones for support, they could all be restored to their original state through this trait. It could even Repair the damaged spirituality of a treasure, allowing it to recover its former power or even go a step further.

The only limitation was that the number of Spirit Stones required for Repair was extremely vast. The higher the Rank of the treasure and the more severe the damage, the more Spirit Stones were needed.

Minor damage to an ordinary Low Grade Magical Artifact might only require dozens of Low-Grade Spirit Stones to Repair. However, if it were an Earth-Grade or even higher-level treasure, or a supreme treasure that was severely damaged and had lost its spirituality, the required Spirit Stones would be an astronomical figure that ordinary Cultivators simply could not afford.

In addition, this Golden Trait [Repair] also came with three characteristics, each of which was highly useful. Paired with the core effect, it was even more formidable.

[Repair: Golden Trait, [Lossless Repair]: When repairing a treasure, it will not cause any additional wear to the treasure itself. Instead, it can slightly nourish the treasure's materials and Repair hidden internal injuries, making the treasure's texture tougher and its spirituality more condensed. Compared to its original state, there may even be a slight improvement.]

[Fast Repair]: No tedious Repair processes are needed. One only needs to activate the power of the trait and inject enough Spirit Stones to complete the Repair quickly. Compared to the manual Repair of ordinary Cultivators, the Speed is increased by several or even dozens of times. Even severely damaged treasures can be repaired in a short time, saving a lot of time.

[Single-Use Repair]: One can spend Spirit Stones to increase the number of times a treasure can be used.

Qin Changsheng slowly digested all the information about the [Repair] trait, his eyes filled with joy and relief.

He never expected that he would actually draw such an extremely practical trait. For him, this was undoubtedly a massive Opportunity.

Qin Changsheng raised his hand and gave a gentle wave. A wisp of soft spiritual power rose from his palm, and a streak of light flew out from his Storage Space, landing steadily in his hand.

It was a dull-colored orb, about an inch in diameter, its surface covered in fine cracks. Its original spiritual light was completely hidden, with only an occasional flash of a faint halo indicating that it was no ordinary object.

This was the spirit suppressing pearl, a High Grade Earth-Grade Magical Artifact.

The spirit suppressing pearl was a major reward Qin Changsheng had received years ago after winning the championship in the Heavenly Sword Sect's Sect Competition.

High Grade Earth-Grade Magical Artifacts were extremely rare throughout the entire Heavenly Sword Sect. Even Golden Core Cultivators might not necessarily possess one.

The core effect of this pearl was to suppress Yao Beasts, causing their strength to drop by one Rank.

Unfortunately, before this spirit suppressing pearl fell into Qin Changsheng’s hands, it had already been severely damaged and lost much of its spirituality. It could barely be activated once, after which it would completely become a dead object.

Qin Changsheng had always kept it stored in his Storage Space and had not used it.

Having drawn the [Repair] trait today, this spirit suppressing pearl became the best choice for him to test the power of the trait.

Qin Changsheng focused his mind and spirit, concentrating on the spirit suppressing pearl in his palm, and slowly activated the [Repair] trait in his Divine Sense.

As the power of the trait was activated, a wisp of condensed golden spiritual light surged from his hand, slowly enveloping the dull spirit suppressing pearl.

The golden spiritual light lingered, and the fine cracks on the surface of the spirit suppressing pearl vibrated slightly. Its originally hidden spirituality, under the nourishment of the [Repair] trait, actually showed a faint sign of recovery, and the dull body of the pearl also took on a faint luster.

Qin Changsheng could clearly feel the power of the [Repair] trait slowly penetrating into the interior of the spirit suppressing pearl, investigating its degree of damage while feeding back a clear piece of information that was imprinted in his Divine Sense.

A moment later, Qin Changsheng slowly withdrew the power of the trait, and the golden spiritual light gradually faded, merging back into his body.

He looked down at the spirit suppressing pearl in his palm, which still bore cracks, a flash of understanding in his eyes. The information fed back by the [Repair] trait was already clearly imprinted in his mind.

To completely Repair this High Grade Earth-Grade spirit suppressing pearl, restore it to its Peak state, and regain its full power, it would actually require a full one million Low-Grade Spirit Stones!

This number was extremely vast, even for Qin Changsheng, who was now at the fourth level of Foundation Establishment.

The Spirit Stones he had accumulated in his Storage Pouch were only a few tens of thousands; compared to one million, it was a far cry.

However, what slightly surprised Qin Changsheng was that the [Repair] trait did not only offer a one-time complete Repair.

The information clearly showed that he could also choose a Single-Use Repair mode. He didn't need to spend one million Spirit Stones all at once; he only needed to spend ten thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones to Repair one complete usage for the spirit suppressing pearl. After using it, if he wanted to use it again, he would just need to spend another ten thousand Spirit Stones for another Single-Use Repair.

Although the one million Spirit Stones required for a complete one-time Repair were temporarily difficult to gather, the cost of ten thousand Spirit Stones for a Single-Use Repair was within his affordable range.

This way, he could first spend ten thousand Spirit Stones to unlock one use of the spirit suppressing pearl, letting this High Grade Earth-Grade Magical Artifact take effect first. Later, he could slowly accumulate Spirit Stones, and once he had gathered enough, he could completely Repair it and restore its Peak power.
