175: Chapter 175 The Sword Saint's Sword
Chen Xian looked at the blue System light screen in front of him.
A circle was constantly spinning on it, and there was a countdown stopwatch in the lower right corner.
【00:04:59】
He took a deep breath.
Faint anticipation stirred in his heart.
What would the intelligence System be like after the update?
Five minutes flew by.
The moment Chen Xian saw 【00:00:00】,
The System's voice rang out in his mind once again.
【Ding! System update complete!】
【Daily Intelligence System has been upgraded.】
【The Host can now randomly specify one piece of intelligence information daily. If the intelligence is not refreshed that day, it will be converted into 10 Intelligence Points and stored in the Intelligence Mall. The Host can refresh on-demand when needed!】
Chen Xian saw these few short lines of text on the light screen.
His entire being was incredibly excited.
Although the previous intelligence System was powerful, it had its drawbacks.
Namely, he could not influence the intelligence System himself.
Every day, whether he wanted to or not, it would randomly refresh three pieces of intelligence, and some might not even be related to him.
But now it was different.
He could search for intelligence according to his needs.
Whether in the modern world or the current cultivation world,
Intelligence was of vital importance. Of course, what made Chen Xian even more excited was that he could save up Intelligence Points to pull off something big.
Doesn't this mean he can practically obtain anyone's secrets!
He looked at the System display on the light screen.
【Host: Chen Xian】
【Intelligence Entry: Please input...】
【Intelligence Mall: Various levels of intelligence can be purchased based on the Intelligence Points spent!】
Chen Xian narrowed his eyes.
This System upgrade was like going from a small donkey straight to an airplane—a total game-changer.
His gaze fell on the entry field.
With a thought,
【Search for the source of the conflict between Feng Haishan and Mo Hongyu.】
【Ding! Intelligence System is generating...】
【Ding! Intelligence has been refreshed. Convert to visual imagery?】
Chen Xian: "???"
Wait, buddy.
Aren't you a bit too smart for your own good?
"Convert!"
Swish!
The scene on the System light screen in front of him changed.
Inside a dim secret chamber, a group of people were frowning deeply.
"City Lord, we seem to be blocked by this stone door!"
Feng Haishan walked over, approached the stone door, and scanned it meticulously.
"There is a Restriction on the stone door. This is likely the Grotto-Heaven of a powerful expert!"
"On our way here, we saw many sword marks on the ground. Could it be a Sword Cultivator?"
While they were all speculating,
A voice came from behind them.
"This is the Grotto-Heaven of the Fearless Sword Saint! What do you people think you are doing here?"
The person who appeared was none other than Mo Hongyu!
When Chen Xian saw this,
He already understood in his heart.
As expected, things proceeded just as he thought.
Feng Haishan said with a smile, "So it's someone from the Mo Family. What is the meaning of your appearance here?"
"The Mo Family received the favor of the Fearless Sword Saint many years ago and swore to guard his Grotto-Heaven!"
"Is it so strange for us to be here?"
Mo Hongyu looked at Feng Haishan and the others.
"On the contrary, what business do you have here?"
Feng Haishan said smilingly, "I am the Personal Disciple of the Fearless Sword Saint. Naturally, I have come here to accept the other things Revered Master left behind!"
Mo Hongyu was half-doubting,
But she still opened the stone door.
"Holy crap! She just opened it like that?"
"No, buddy, are you really that naive?"
When Chen Xian saw this scene, he was practically fuming with rage.
It would have been one thing if Feng Haishan had forced the door open and snatched the Sword Qi of the Grotto-Heaven.
In the end, this guy did nothing but use his silver tongue to get Mo Hongyu to open the door.
No wonder Mo Hongyu was so angry when she looked at Feng Haishan.
It turns out this fellow had played her for a fool.
Chen Xian didn't need to see the rest of the footage to know what happened next.
It was nothing more than Feng Haishan entering the Grotto-Heaven and taking all the good stuff he found.
That strand of Sword Qi was included as well.
However, he saw on the System light screen that Feng Haishan had also discovered a sword within the Grotto-Heaven.
When Feng Haishan looked at this sword, both his eyes lit up!
He rushed forward to take it, but was sent flying by a domineering force.
It was because of this
That Mo Hongyu realized this man was lying to her!
That sword... A sharp light flashed in Chen Xian's eyes.
A sword that could make even a Mahayana Stage Cultivator excited...
It was likely the old man's personal sword from when he was alive!
Feng Haishan's desire to find the successor of the Fearless Sword Saint, to snatch the Legacy, or to draw the successor out, was probably also because of that sword.
He wanted that sword!
To get it, he would inevitably need the successor of the Fearless Sword Saint.
Thus, almost all of his strange behavior today could be explained.
The Fearless Sword Saint's personal sword.
That was the sword of a Sword Saint.
Chen Xian's heart felt even more restless.
Just then, an impatient voice spoke from the side, "What are you giggling about here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"
Chen Xian looked at the Moon Demon, who had an annoyed expression on its cat face.
He couldn't help but ask, "Let me ask you, what's the value of a Sword Saint's personal sword?"
"Why are you suddenly asking about this?"
"It is the ceiling of all weaponry. Although Saints do not easily make a move and can even use everything in heaven and earth as a weapon, they still have their own Lifebound Treasures."
"A Sword Cultivator's Lifebound Treasure is naturally a sword. In the case of a Sword Saint, this sword has likely already nurtured a Sword Spirit. The power of a Sword Spirit is such that it can almost certainly kill anyone below the Soul Transformation stage single-handedly!"
"You kid, although you have the Sword Saint's Legacy now, the sword you're carrying is more or less lacking!"
The Moon Demon coughed.
"Of course, if you release me now! Take the soul-forbidding bead off this stupid cat, I promise to find you a masterless sword of the Quasi-Saint level!"
As the Moon Demon said this, its heart began to race with excitement.
In all the years it had lived,
It had never seen anyone who could resist such a temptation.
Especially since Chen Xian was a Sword Cultivator!
A good sword was practically a second life for a Sword Cultivator!
It even faintly felt the joy of the life it would lead after being released.
However, Chen Xian burst out laughing.
"A Quasi-Saint's sword..."
"If you think it's too hard to control, I can find you something else!"
"Put away your little schemes. A Quasi-Saint's sword—maybe I would have taken a peek before, but now I really look down on it!"
The Moon Demon jumped excitedly in front of Chen Xian.
It raised its front paw and placed it on Chen Xian's forehead.
"You don't have a fever. Why are you starting to talk nonsense?"
"Kid, I admit your luck is better than others, but do you think a Sword Saint's personal sword is something you find in the trash?"
"You think it can be found just like that?"
"It's pure wishful thinking!"
