193: Magic weapon

This handkerchief trembled slightly in Han Yi's hand, as if it had a life of its own.

“blood plum handkerchief…”

Han Yi's gaze was complex as he examined the blood-red handkerchief in his hand.

Just now, when he was injured and a large amount of fresh blood flowed onto the blood plum handkerchief in his embrace…

The handkerchief, which usually looked ordinary and could be handled by Han Yi however he pleased, madly absorbed the blood as if a whale was swallowing the sea.

Afterward, a feeling of joy and intimacy was transmitted from the handkerchief.

“Has this truly activated the blood plum handkerchief…?”

Buzz buzz buzz!

As if responding to Han Yi's question, the blood plum handkerchief in his hand also vibrated violently.

Immediately after, more detailed information appeared at the bottom of the System panel's attribute bar.

【blood plum handkerchief·Magical Artifact】

Grade: Yin artifact (Yellow Rank Low Grade)

Spirituality: 2% (Can be upgraded)

Characteristic: Bloodthirsty

“The meaning of ‘can be upgraded’... should be that I can use Yuanli value to increase the spirituality of the blood plum handkerchief, thereby promoting its grade…”

“And Yin artifact, is this a Yin artifact on the same level as a Treasure Artifact…?”

Han Yi looked at the information on the panel and recalled the information recorded in the miscellaneous books he had seen when he visited the Library Pavilion within the Sect a while ago.

Martial Cultivation Techniques have levels, divided into Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow Ranks, with each Rank further divided into High, Mid, and Low Grades.

High-end weapons used by Martial Artists are roughly classified in the same way: Yellow Rank Treasure Artifacts, Profound Rank Magical Artifacts, Earth Rank Spiritual Artifacts, with each Rank also divided into High, Mid, and Low Grades. As for Heaven Rank ones, the records in the books were vague.

At the same time, among You, there are naturally corresponding Magical Artifacts: Yellow Rank Yin artifacts, Profound Rank Nether Artifacts, and Earth Rank Fiend Artifacts!

The blood plum handkerchief in Han Yi's hand was a Yin artifact equivalent to a Treasure Artifact!

“But how should I put it, it truly lives up to its name as a Magical Artifact; just using it for a while consumed two years of Lifespan!”

Han Yi's face was somewhat pale, and he felt bitter.

Perhaps because he was a Martial Artist and had no Yin Qi in his body, unable to infuse it with Yin Qi, when he used the blood plum handkerchief to withstand the attack of the giant wooden man just now, his own Lifespan was reduced by two years!

【Name】: Han Yi (17/150)

In other words, he could only live for a total of one hundred and thirty-three more years!

And the Bloodthirsty characteristic of the blood plum handkerchief, as the name suggests, allows it to form a protective shield or generate a blood-light slash to attack enemies, as long as it absorbs blood and consumes Lifespan.

Moreover, the more blood it absorbs and the more Lifespan it consumes, the greater its power!

With the feeling of Bloodline connection transmitted from the handkerchief, Han Yi vaguely had an intuition that absorbing blood was not just limited to himself; it seemed that if it could absorb enemy blood, the effect would be even better, and the stronger the enemy's Strength, the more it could even enhance the blood plum handkerchief's spirituality!

“I wonder if it can absorb the fresh blood from this monster…”

Han Yi looked at the giant wooden man, broken into two sections, not far away.

On the cross-section, which was originally smooth as white paper, countless wooden fibers were now wriggling, trying to reattach the two sections of its body.

However, no matter how the wooden fibers struggled, they could not break through the Evil Breaking Force covering them.

But sticky, dark green fluid flowed out, seeping into the yellow mud ground to form a puddle like a stinking ditch.

And the blood plum handkerchief in Han Yi's hand, as if sensing Han Yi's inner thoughts, suddenly stopped trembling, like an ordinary handkerchief.

“This is truly an unfeeling refusal… it's really picky…” Han Yi's mouth twitched, and he silently put the blood plum handkerchief into his embrace.

“But I still need to deal with it and finish things up. A proper beginning and end is the Righteous Path!”

He stared at the rapidly decreasing numerical value floating beside the giant wooden monster, secretly sighing at the creature's powerful vitality.

Even after being cut in half by him, it could still maintain a comprehensive Strength of '100~100'!

However, fortunately, the wooden monster had now lost its lower body and was entangled by his Evil Breaking Force, making it difficult to move. Dealing with it was much easier.

At most, it was a large living target!

“Hmph!”

Han Yi let out a soft shout, his Strength erupting and pouring into the Xuan Tie Sword.

A miraculous scene appeared!

Traces of Strength spread across the Xuan Tie Sword, making the dark giant sword suddenly gain a dark red hue!

Han Yi flicked his finger, and the sword body hummed, heavy and ancient.

And at the tip of the sword, a three-inch crimson sword light abruptly emerged, like a flash of electricity!

This was something Han Yi had only discovered earlier: this Xuan Tie Sword seemed capable of containing Strength, and even extending the range of his Strength attacks!

Logically, only Treasure Artifact-level weapons could combine with Strength and become a weapon for Martial Masters to extend their Strength.

But no matter what, the Xuan Tie Sword could not be considered a Treasure Artifact…

Therefore, Han Yi was a bit puzzled. Could it be that he had really stumbled upon a treasure, and Master Lu, with his blacksmithing skill, had forged a Treasure Artifact?

But after much thought, he knew that the possibility of this oversight was minimal. Not to mention that the Xuan Tie Sword itself had no characteristics of a Treasure Artifact, it had also undergone various tests before Master Lu finished refining it and handed it to him. If it truly were a Treasure Artifact, how could it have ended up in his hands!

After all, the path of forging is vast and profound, and requires immense investment; only major forces are qualified to cultivate it. Master Lu, as a Forging Great Master, had the ability to independently forge Yellow Rank Treasure Artifacts!

“Perhaps, it's because the Materials of this sword are special…”

Ultimately, Han Yi could only come to this conclusion: the Materials used for the Xuan Tie Sword were the lanyu sword from Wu Awei, refined with meteorite iron.

This was an unknown Material that even Master Lu had never heard of. Its ability to contain Strength was also a highly possible thing.

Han Yi was a pragmatic person. Right now, it was not the time to dwell on this. The most important thing was…

“Slash!”

Han Yi stepped on the ground with his left foot, his body soared into the air, then spun around in mid-air, easily arriving beside the crippled wooden man. The dark blade was like a Black Dragon, and the three-inch red sword light fiercely struck the upper body of the giant wooden man that had fallen to the ground.

Bang!

Han Yi held the Xuan Tie Sword and slashed at the staff-like tentacle on the wooden man's inverted upper body.

Thump!

The tentacle was directly severed into two sections, and the Xuan Tie Sword's momentum did not diminish, sweeping directly past the wooden man's upper body.

Thud, thud, thud!

A series of dull thuds, like an axe cutting wood, and the wooden man's body instantly shattered into pieces.

In the tremendous impact, viscous fragments flew up along with dust.

And the ugly body ceased to exist; everything fell silent.

At this moment, the sky had brightened. The morning glow pierced through the gray mist of dawn, shimmering brightly, and the first golden-bright ray of light shone diagonally on Han Yi.

Unbeknownst to him, it was already morning…
