7: He obtained a mysterious jade pendant and encountered a cold and aloof fairy on the way.

The next day, inside Azure Sun City.

This was Su Yun's first time coming here.

Back when he was still a Utility Disciple,

he had to go mining every day. By the time he returned from mining, he would be exhausted, with no energy to go anywhere else.

After casually asking a passerby on the street, Su Yun found out the location of the Treasure Pavilion.

The Treasure Pavilion was not a simple shop; the power behind it was immense, not inferior to some great Sects, and it had branch stores in many cities.

Upon entering the Treasure Pavilion, what met his eyes were rows upon rows of various Spiritual Artifacts, as well as many rare treasures.

“This guest, my name is Xiao Zi. May I ask what you need to buy?”

A woman dressed in purple stepped forward to inquire.

Su Yun checked her life script only to find that even a minor clerk in the Treasure Pavilion was at the Golden Core Stage. As expected, this shop was not simple.

Therefore, Su Yun felt that he could not directly show his intention of wanting to buy that Mysterious Jade Pendant. If they saw that the jade pendant was not simple, the Treasure Pavilion might not sell it anymore.

“Low Grade Spiritual Artifact.”

“Then please wait a moment, guest. I will bring all the Low Grade Spiritual Artifacts in the shop for you to see which one you like.”

Xiao Zi turned around and went to a shelf, placing dozens of Low Grade Spiritual Artifacts in front of Su Yun.

“I'll take this spirit sword then. How many Spirit Stones?”

Su Yun picked up several Spiritual Artifacts and observed them carefully for a while. Then he remembered he didn't have a handy weapon yet, so buying a Spiritual Artifact was a good idea. As for what to choose, it would naturally be a spirit sword.

“This spirit sword was made by a famous Artifact Refiner, so the price is relatively expensive. The selling price is five thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones.”

Xiao Zi replied with a smile.

“That's too expensive. How about two thousand five hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones?”

Su Yun waved his hand and said indifferently.

“Guest, this isn't expensive anymore. You look so dashing; if you pair it with this spirit sword, it would be a perfect match.”

“It's still too expensive. I'll go buy from another shop then.”

As soon as Su Yun's voice fell, he pretended to leave.

Xiao Zi immediately became a bit anxious.

Because the commission for selling this order was quite high.

Spiritual Artifacts hadn't been selling well recently. It wasn't easy to get a customer who wanted to buy; she couldn't let him leave.

“Guest, how about this: I'll sell it to you for four thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones and also give you a small accessory.”

“What accessory? Take me to see.”

Su Yun said indifferently.

Immediately after, Xiao Zi led Su Yun to the nearby accessory area.

These accessories were not Spiritual Artifacts; they were mainly for ornamental purposes, so the prices were not high. The Mysterious Jade Pendant was among them.

“One accessory is too few. Five.”

“Guest, I really can't give away that many. How about we both take a step back and I give you three.”

“Fine, then I'll choose them myself.”

“No problem.”

Spirit Stones were handed over, and the Low Grade Spiritual Artifact was received.

The transaction completed, Su Yun casually chose two accessories and finally picked up that Mysterious Jade Pendant.

“Take care, guest. Welcome back next time.”

Xiao Zi stood at the entrance of the Treasure Pavilion, smiling as she watched Su Yun leave... After exiting Azure Sun City, Su Yun remembered that he was already at the Foundation Establishment Stage and could try sword flight.

Thinking of this, he took out the Low Grade spirit sword he just bought. The spiritual energy in his body flooded into the spirit sword, and the blade emitted a faint red light.

Following the sword flight method he had learned before, Su Yun tried to stand on the spirit sword.

At first, he couldn't control the direction well.

After flying for a distance, he slowly mastered the knack of flying.

Just as Su Yun intended to fly back to the Sect, an ice-blue sword flew over from afar.

That sword was originally not heading in his direction, but as they passed each other, the sword turned a corner and blocked Su Yun's path.

There was a powerful spiritual energy on that sword. Su Yun hurriedly stopped, circulated his spiritual energy, and became alert.

Su Yun originally thought someone was attacking him, but the sword blocking him seemed to have another purpose.

“Which Fellow Daoist is playing tricks? Show yourself quickly.”

Su Yun shouted loudly, but there was no one around.

At this time, the sword realized Su Yun seemed to have misunderstood its intention, so it used the spiritual energy on the blade to condense the four words: “Save My Revered Master.”

Seeing this, Su Yun was suddenly curious. Could this sword be a supreme grade spirit tool?

It was rumored that a supreme grade spirit tool could give birth to an Artifact Spirit.

An Artifact Spirit could communicate and build a bond with its Revered Master.

The higher the compatibility between the Artifact Spirit and the Revered Master, the stronger the combat power exerted.

“Where is your Revered Master? Take me to see.”

Su Yun felt that this was yet another novel plot from his past life.

The Revered Master of this sword was probably a beauty.

The beauty was heavily injured and unconscious.

The spirit sword left its Revered Master to find someone for help and ended up finding the protagonist.

Following a series of events, the two would end up together.

The ice-blue sword flew toward a certain place upon hearing his words.

Su Yun followed closely behind. After the time it takes to burn a few incense sticks, they arrived at a remote forest.

On a patch of open ground, a woman dressed in light blue clothes lay on the ground.

Upon closer inspection, the woman had a tall figure and skin as smooth as congealed fat.

Her long, light blue hair fell weakly on the ground, appearing crystal clear under the sunlight.

Her appearance was even more devastatingly beautiful, but her eyes were tightly shut and her brows were furrowed; she seemed to be heavily injured.

There was a powerful cold Qi around the woman. Su Yun circulated his Glazed Sacred Fire before his body was prevented from being frozen stiff.

He carefully observed the woman's injuries.

Su Yun found multiple wounds on her body.

Although the blood on the wounds had coagulated, they were covered with a black spiritual energy that was corroding her skin.

“System, analyze what this black spiritual energy is.”

[Ding, according to the analysis, this is the spiritual energy of a Demonic Cultivator.

This kind of spiritual energy has powerful destructive power, but the Glazed Sacred Fire in the Host's body is its nemesis.]

“This woman isn't simple. Let me see her life script.”

[Name: Luo Qingshuang]

[Age: Twenty-two]

[Realm: Nascent Soul Eighth Layer]

[Physique: Ice Soul Sword Body]

[Luck Rank: Purple]

[Identity Background: Personal Disciple of Taixuan Holy Land]

[Role Position: female protagonist]

[Recent Turning Point: Last night, while Luo Qingshuang was completing a Holy Land mission, she was ambushed by Demonic Sect Disciples.

While her Dao Protector was tied down, she was sneak-attacked by over a dozen Demonic Cultivators at the Nascent Soul Tenth Layer Realm who specialized in concealment. She was heavily injured. After using a Life-saving Talisman given by her Revered Master to kill the enemies, she used a Shifting Talisman to escape to prevent further Demonic Cultivator ambushes.]

[Opportunity: None]

“System, follow her for me.”

[Ding, now following.]

Meeting a Fairy in distress, as a gentleman, Su Yun naturally had to lend a hand.

So first, he had to change locations and find a safe place to treat her injuries.

Thus, he circulated the Glazed Sacred Fire, cleared the cold Qi from his body, walked to Luo Qingshuang's side, and picked her up.

Before leaving, Su Yun used the Glazed Sacred Fire again to clean the ground.

After burning away all the bloodstains and spiritual energy left by Luo Qingshuang, he then flew away on his sword, and the ice-blue sword followed him the entire time.

Half an hour after Su Yun left, a young man with an arrogant expression arrived here on a spirit boat.

He brought a group of subordinates and flew down from the spirit boat to investigate, but only found a patch of scorched earth.

“Dammit, where did Qing Shuang go!

Cursed Demonic Sect, how dare you lay a hand on Qing Shuang.

If I find out which Sect you belong to, I will surely exterminate your entire clan!”

The young man returned to the spirit boat in anger and flew off in another direction.
