37: Wood attribute magic sword! Qingyuan Sword!

Not long after,

the Shop Assistant, with a jade box in one hand, ran over, covered in dust!

He walked up to Wei Zhou, took a long breath, and after adjusting himself,

he smiled professionally at Wei Zhou and said,

"Fellow Daoist, this time I managed to get two wood-attribute Magical Artifact swords!"

"And one of them is infinitely close to a second-grade Middle Stage!"

As he finished speaking, the Shop Assistant stopped talking and looked at Wei Zhou,

seemingly waiting for Wei Zhou's reaction.

Wei Zhou, as expected, had a hint of surprise flash in his eyes.

That was a second-grade Early Stage Magical Artifact sword, infinitely close to a second-grade Middle Stage!

It is well known that a second-grade Early Stage Magical Artifact sword usually costs five to six hundred Spirit Stones!

While a second-grade Middle Stage Magical Artifact sword requires 1000 to 2000 Spirit Stones!

The difference is considerable! Just one minor stage difference, yet the value has increased several times!

However, it is understandable!

A second-grade Middle Stage Magical Artifact sword is for Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage!

And a second-grade Early Stage Magical Artifact sword is for Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Initial Stage!

The further one goes in the Realm, the greater the difference in each minor Realm!

For example, a Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage can easily crush several Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Initial Stage!

However, if six or seven Foundation Establishment Initial Stage Cultivators surround and attack a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivator, there's a high chance they can kill him!

But even more than ten Foundation Establishment Peak Cultivators cannot kill a Golden Core Stage Immortal Master!

Similarly, the power of a second-grade Early Stage Magical Artifact sword is far inferior to the power of a second-grade Middle Stage Magical Artifact sword!

Although a second-grade Early Stage Magical Artifact sword infinitely close to a second-grade Middle Stage is not a second-grade Middle Stage Magical Artifact sword, its power far surpasses that of a second-grade Early Stage Magical Artifact sword!

That's why a hint of surprise couldn't help but flash in Wei Zhou's eyes!

Immediately after, the Shop Assistant took out one of the jade boxes!

The jade box was rectangular, similar to a sword scabbard, with its surface covered in amber-like glass!

It was exquisitely beautiful, subtly emitting faint Spiritual Qi fluctuations!

Clearly, this jade box had the effect of locking and gathering Spiritual Qi!

These jade boxes were specially made for preserving Magic Treasures and Magical Artifacts!

After ordinary Magic Treasures and Magical Artifacts are refined, if they are not sealed in such jade boxes with the effect of locking and gathering Spiritual Qi!

Their spirituality will gradually drain away! Until it completely disappears! Eventually, becoming nothing more than ordinary iron!

However, these jade boxes are specially purchased by these shops!

Most Cultivators cannot afford them!

Most Cultivators cultivate their Magical Artifacts and Magic Treasures within their Dantian!

After all, one of these jade boxes costs several hundred Spirit Stones!

It's not something an ordinary Loose Cultivator can afford!

Cultivating Magical Artifacts and Magic Treasures within the Dantian also ensures that their spirituality is not lost!

It also makes it more convenient during combat!

No need to foolishly pull out a jade box from a Storage Pouch, and then pull out the Magic Treasure or Magical Artifact from it!

Doing so, one might be cut down by the enemy before even drawing one's own Magic Treasure or Magical Artifact!

The Shop Assistant slowly opened the jade box!

He presented it to Wei Zhou.

The dazzling scene Wei Zhou imagined did not appear!

Instead, an unremarkable Magical Artifact sword lay within!

Surrounded by a misty wood-attribute Spiritual Qi!

The Shop Assistant pointed to the Magical Artifact sword and said,

"This sword is called Qingyuan Sword! A second-grade Early Stage Magical Artifact sword!"

"It is forged from century-old lightning-struck wood, meteorite profound iron, source stone, and dozens of other Materials!"

The first impression this sword gave Wei Zhou was one of ancient simplicity and vicissitude, as if it (the sword) was an ancient tree!

Unlike the previous Black Abyss Sword and Frost Sky Sword, which were both incredibly sharp! Exuding a sense of keenness!

Although this Qingyuan Sword exuded an aura of vicissitude, it contained a faint vitality within!

The Shop Assistant continued to introduce it garrulously.

"This Qingyuan Sword also has a sand-sized fragment of a vitality stone embedded within it!"

"When fighting an opponent! Inject Spiritual Qi into the vitality stone fragment and reverse it!"

"Vitality, when reversed, becomes the power of decline!"

"This sword strike, when landed on an enemy's lifespan, can reduce their lifespan!"

"The longer the opponent's lifespan is reduced, the higher the user's cultivation must be!"

(Vitality Stone! A stone containing rich vitality! A thumb-sized one costs 4000 to 5000 Spirit Stones!)

(It is a longevity-extending item! However, one can only consume it once in a lifetime! Consuming it a second time will have no effect!)

(A fist-sized Vitality Stone can extend one's lifespan by 30 to 40 years! A Vitality Stone larger than a fist can also only extend one's lifespan by 30 to 40 years!)

Upon hearing this, Wei Zhou felt a stir and asked,

"Fellow Daoist, may I ask the price of this Magical Artifact sword?"

The Shop Assistant quickly replied,

"700 Spirit Stones! However, given that this is your first purchase in our pavilion! Our pavilion can give you a 10% discount!"

"You only need to pay 630 Spirit Stones!"

Wei Zhou listened, deep in thought, but he was still very tempted to purchase this Magical Artifact sword!

Not long after, he suppressed the strong urge to buy it!

And instead, he asked,

"Fellow Daoist! What about the other Magical Artifact sword?"

As soon as the Shop Assistant heard Wei Zhou's question, he quickly put the Qingyuan Sword back into the jade box!

He then took out another jade box, opened it, and placed it in front of Wei Zhou, all in one smooth, unhesitant motion!

Pointing to the Magical Artifact sword, he introduced it.

"The Yuanqing Sword! A second-grade Early Stage Magical Artifact sword, but infinitely close to a second-grade Middle Stage Magical Artifact sword!"

"It is forged from meteorite profound iron, azure essence bamboo, primordial wood stone, and several other rare Materials!"

"If a Cultivator can cultivate it in their Dantian from the Qi Refinement Stage onwards!"

"Until they Breakthrough to a Foundation Establishment Grand Cultivator! And then continue to cultivate it in their Dantian for several decades!"

"This Magical Artifact sword, presumably, will be able to Breakthrough to the second-grade Middle Stage Magical Artifact level!"

Hearing this, Wei Zhou couldn't help but ask with a puzzled expression,

"As one of the five dominant forces in the cultivation world of Zhao Country!"

"Doesn't your pavilion have anyone cultivating it?"

The Shop Assistant, who was at the seventh or eighth level of the Qi Refinement Stage, scratched his head and chuckled, saying,

"Of course there are! But they all failed in the end!"

"Because cultivation also has a prerequisite! That is, one's Innate Divine Soul power must far exceed that of others!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Zhou continued to ask,

"Then, to what extent must one's Divine Soul power be to cultivate it?"

The Shop Assistant spread his hands, indicating that he also didn't know, after all, he (the Shop Assistant) was just a small Cultivator at the seventh or eighth level of the Qi Refinement Stage!

Wei Zhou looked at the Shop Assistant and saw that he (the Shop Assistant) indeed looked genuinely unaware!

So he didn't say much more and instead asked,

"Fellow Daoist! How many Spirit Stones does this Yuanqing Sword cost?"

The Shop Assistant replied,

"800 Spirit Stones! Given that this is your first purchase in our department! A 10% discount!"

"We will only charge you 720 Spirit Stones!"
