CHAPTER 178: CHAPTER 178: GOLDEN CROW SWORD, WIND THUNDER WINGS

Concentration Pill, Water Rhythm Elixir, Realm-Breaking Pill.

After deliberation, Lu Ping decided to take these three elixirs separately as his reward for assisting Xu Yi in treasure hunting this time.

After he proposed this idea, upon learning that Lu Ping wanted to extract some elixirs as a reward, which might later be distributed to the sect’s higher-ups, Xu Yi did not refuse.

These three elixirs currently don’t have much impact on him and it’s not yet time for him to use them.

After all, he is only at the Fifth-Layer Qi Cultivation Stage now, and cannot meet the standards for taking these three types of elixirs. Forcing consumption would not only be ineffective but could also harm his Dao Body and endanger himself.

As for the other Tier One and Tier Two elixirs, Lu Ping thoroughly inspected them as well and did not lay a finger on them.

All of them were left to Xu Yi’s own disposal and use, which filled Xu Yi with secret joy and excitement.

Before reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage, apart from the Foundation Establishment Pill, Xu Yi basically doesn’t need to worry about elixirs anymore, as his elixir resources are quite abundant.

The matter of elixirs being settled, the next concern was the magical artifacts.

First, let’s discuss the artifacts from the two storage bags of Wu Daoyuan.

There are six Tier Two Spiritual Artifacts, half of which are Flying Swords, along with two defensive spiritual artifacts and one Spiritual Bead artifact.

These Tier Two Spiritual Artifacts were also not something Lu Ping had any intention of touching, and they were all for Xu Yi’s use.

Additionally, there were two Tier Three Spiritual Artifacts, which Lu Ping found quite interesting.

One is a Tier Three lower-grade fire attribute flying sword, entirely black gold in color, with a Golden Crow Dharma Form engraved on the hilt, which Lu Ping simply called the Golden Crow Sword.

The other is also Tier Three lower-grade, a pair of Wing Feather Spiritual Artifacts with wind attributes, called Wind Thunder Wings by Lu Ping.

It is worth mentioning that market Wing Feather Spiritual Artifacts, such as the Wind Thunder Wings, are made from refining materials containing abnormal attributes of wind and thunder.

The purpose of such artifacts is to enhance a cultivator’s agility and also serve the function of flying.

They are also excellent choices for fighting or making a quick escape.

Initially, when everyone saw these Wind Thunder Wings, their eyes brightened.

Xu Yi stared at them for quite a while, very interested, as his main spirit root is wind attribute, which matches the Wind Thunder Wings.

However, this artifact eventually was not suitable for him.

Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators can at most use Tier Two high-grade spiritual artifacts, reaching their limit at this level.

Higher-tier Tier Three artifacts are simply unusable for them.

Even if forcefully used, they could easily be backfired by the artifact, causing self-harm.

This is why, when Lu Ping, a Golden Core Ancestor, passed down artifacts to his three children, Lu Zhiwei and others, the highest was only Tier Two high-grade.

It wasn’t because Lu Ping was reluctant to part with Tier Three artifacts; rather, it was because, given a Qi Cultivation Stage cultivation level, his children couldn’t utilize such artifacts and would have to endure the risk of backlash.

In this light, it’s better not to pass them down.

Currently, in the entire Cyan Mountain Sect, only Lu Yuanshan can wield these two Tier Three artifacts.

Foundation Establishment Cultivators can use Tier Three Spiritual Artifacts.

Similarly, Crystallization Cultivators can use Tier Four Spiritual Artifacts.

Since Xu Yi cannot use them in the short term and only Lu Yuanshan in Cyan Mountain Sect is the most suitable to use them, there is no debate over the ownership of the Golden Crow Sword and Wind Thunder Wings.

Both go to Lu Yuanshan.

Additionally, from the secret underground chamber of Cyan Jade Hall, another Tier Three lower-grade artifact, the ’Primordial Magnetic Treasure Bottle,’ which was retrieved from a rotten wooden box, was also eventually claimed by Lu Yuanshan.

Without delay, Lu Yuanshan received three Tier Three Spiritual Artifacts, further enhancing his equipment and increasing his combat power.

Xu Yi had no objections to this allocation outcome.

He knew his capability; possessing Tier Three artifacts would only attract others’ covetousness, drawing attention from Foundation Establishment or even Crystallization Cultivators, better to hand them over to the sect.

Moreover, after summing up the rest, there were thirty-nine Tier One Spiritual Artifacts and sixty-six Tier Two Spiritual Artifacts.

Among the Tier Two Spiritual Artifacts, Lu Ping extracted two to be handed over to Lu Zhiwei.

Finally, the main harvest was cultivation techniques and spirit stones.

Cultivation techniques were not particularly rare, and only the Purple Mansion Celestial Strategy piqued Lu Ping’s interest.

Regarding the other cultivation techniques, Xu Yi suggested making copies and storing them in the sect’s Library Pavilion.

As for spirit stones, the harvest this time was considerable.

The possessions of a Crystallization Cultivator far exceeded Xu Yi’s imagination.

Two storage bags held a total of over ninety thousand spirit stones, and this was after Wu Daoyuan had purchased refining materials like Profound Crystal Stone and Red Iron Gold Copper, leaving this amount.

Generally speaking, a Crystallization Cultivator, unless particularly unsuccessful, would possess thirty to four hundred thousand spirit stones.

Though the spirit stones acquired this time were only over ninety thousand, equivalent to the assets of a Late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator,

for Xu Yi, a Qi Cultivation Stage cultivator, this already amounted to a huge sum.

This amount of spirit stones was ultimately left to Xu Yi, as Lu Ping did not lay claim to it, recognizing it as Xu Yi’s opportunity, and the Cyan Mountain Sect did not require extracting spirit stones from here to supplement the sect.

Finally, it is worth mentioning the two Bronze Guards and the Lantern Maid.

The two Bronze Guards each had a set of Bronze Battle Armor, a spear, and a shield, all of which were spiritual artifacts at Tier Two.

Though they may not fit Lu Yuanshan and others for wearing, being either too large or too small, it shouldn’t be forgotten that there’s Lu Zhiwei, the Artifact Refiner.

She simply needs to take them for remelting and refurbishing.

This task was immediately assigned by Lu Ping to Lu Zhiwei, asking her to reforge the two sets of Bronze Battle Armor.

As for the Lantern Maid, she had only two artifacts.

One is the Curved Skirt Magic Robe.

The other is the Palace Lantern.

These two items weren’t suitable for Xu Yi, a male cultivator, so it was finally decided to pass them on to She Qingqing, encouraging her to continue learning the Alchemy Dao and refine Spirit Pills for the sect.

Lu Ping summoned She Qingqing and also gave her the three Pill Furnaces that Xu Yi had acquired.

The three Pill Furnaces were all Tier Two high-grade, significantly enhancing alchemy efficiency.

The distribution of other acquisitions would be settled later.

Lu Ping chose not to involve himself further, leaving it up to Lu Yuanshan and the others to negotiate.

Of course, that was dependent on Xu Yi being willing to part with anything.

Lu Ping had already selected everything of interest to him.

He found what he was interested in within the system panel’s rewards.

[Two-star - Resource Optimization].

He decided to take this opportunity to choose the option.

[Resource: Cyan Lotus Mountain Spiritual Vein (Tier Two), Small Mist Concealment Sword Array (Tier Two), Eight Mu of Medicine Field (Tier One), Twenty-five Mu of Spiritual Field, Two Shophouses in the Marketplace (Tier One), Two Fire Source Stone Veins (Tier Two), White Jade Bee (Tier One)].
