Chapter 576: What More Can Be Said

The swordcasting was complete!

A surge of intense joy welled up in Wang Chen’s heart.

The flying sword freshly forged in his hand seemed to sense his emotions, trembling lightly and emitting the sound of dragon roars!

This third-grade flying sword measured a standard three feet and three inches. It had a sword hilt but no guard, its shape smooth and seamlessly integrated, resembling a clear autumn pool, with its essence hidden and its sharpness concealed.

As Wang Chen infused his mana, countless true seal characters faintly appeared on its surface. The sword light flickered as if it was about to soar into the sky, radiating a powerful aura.

However, the space in the quiet room was too small, offering no room for the flying sword to unleash its potential; therefore, Wang Chen could only suppress its eagerness, reaching out to swipe across its blade.

His skin silently parted, and crimson blood stained the sword.

It was immediately absorbed clean by the sword’s body!

Wang Chen felt his connection with the flying sword grow even tighter.

A hidden dragon in the abyss, the Longyuan Sword!

Wang Chen tossed the flying sword upward, and it instantly transformed into a streak of flowing light, entering his open mouth.

He accepted the sword into his body!

In the next moment, the Longyuan Sword sank into the energy field, quietly lying in wait.

The newly refined life treasure was like a newborn baby, requiring careful nurturing and attention.

Only through continuous warmth and refinement could the sword’s inner spirit be awakened and its destructive power unleashed, allowing it to be wielded as if it were an extension of himself.

Naturally, Wang Chen could fight with it now.

But if it were to sustain any damage, the consequences would be extremely difficult to recover from!

For the sake of refining this life treasure, Wang Chen not only invested most of his merits but also drained his Xumi Ring, consuming almost all the spirit stones he had previously saved.

Both the Chini Sword and Yaoguang Sword were sacrificed!

Though it wasn’t to the extent of losing everything, it was fair to say that his vitality had been severely impacted.

Thus, in the days that followed, Wang Chen devoted himself to refining his life treasure flying sword, to the point of neglecting food and sleep.

It took more than half a month before he finally exited the hidden chamber.

The reason for Wang Chen’s exit was not that the Longyuan Sword had been fully refined—such a thing was impossible.

The main reason was that he had promised the Little Cauldron that once he successfully refined this life treasure, he would give it one hundred Upper Spirits as a reward.

The problem was that Wang Chen could not currently produce one hundred Upper Spirits.

He had invested nearly all his Upper Spirits into this project, leaving him with very few Intermediate Spirits.

Although the Little Cauldron was a Cauldron Spirit and the Life Creation Cauldron belonged to Wang Chen, once he made a promise, he had to keep it.

So, Wang Chen left Changhe Island and headed to Wailing City!

One hundred Upper Spirits was a considerable amount, equivalent to over a million spirit fragments, but for Wang Chen now, gathering the needed amount was not too difficult.

He directly sought out Xu Xinlan.

Upon seeing Wang Chen, Xu Xinlan was genuinely overjoyed.

After a tender moment, the beautiful female cultivator nestled against Wang Chen, her face glowing with happiness and satisfaction.

Yet, a pang of guilt stirred within Wang Chen.

His heart was set on the Dao, leaving little time for romantic entanglements, and he often found himself apart from Xu Xinlan.

Despite this, she never uttered a word of complaint, always sweet, gentle, and considerate.

With such a devoted partner, what more could one ask for!

“My lord…”

Xu Xinlan said joyfully to Wang Chen, “I have achieved perfect mastery in Qi Training!”

When she first met Wang Chen, her cultivation level was only at the Qi Training seventh level, and due to her family’s troubles, she had lost the will to cultivate, making no breakthroughs.

Since becoming his partner, not only had she resolved her family issues, but practicing the Su Yin Huan Zhen Hehe method together also brought her tremendous benefits.

Xu Xinlan knew all too well the gap between her and Wang Chen, and to avoid holding him back, she entrusted most of her family business to trusted individuals for management.

She devoted more time to cultivation!

With her undivided focus and ample resources, Xu Xinlan had made rapid progress during this time.

“Very good.”

Wang Chen stroked her silky hair and smiled, “Don’t rush to break through to open a house. First, make sure your foundation is solid before breaking through. Do you have any spirit pills? If not, I can trade for some.”

“I have some.”

Xu Xinlan pressed her lovely face against Wang Chen’s chest, listening to his heartbeat, and murmured, “I prepared three.”

“Hmm.”

Wang Chen nodded, “When it’s time for your breakthrough, just let me know, and I will protect you!”

He had already thought about it and realized he might not be able to take Xu Xinlan to the upper realm.

But before leaving, he had to make proper arrangements for her in anticipation of the future.

Accomplishing this wasn’t too difficult, as Wang Chen was now a disciple under Changhe Zhenren, with access to much stronger resources and connections than before.

Of course, it would be even better if Xu Xinlan could be self-reliant!

“Hmm.”

At that moment, Xu Xinlan felt overwhelmed with emotion and couldn’t help but wrap her arms around Wang Chen’s neck, delivering a passionate kiss.

The cloud couch shook vigorously once again.

Until the next morning, after bathing and changing clothes, Wang Chen took out the storage bag he had prepared earlier and handed it to Xu Xinlan.

“Please take care of the items inside. Try to exchange them for as many Upper Spirits as possible.”

Alchemy could ruin a life, and weapon refining could deplete three generations; Wang Chen had paid an extraordinary price to refine the Longyuan Sword.

He still owed the Little Cauldron one hundred Upper Spirits as a reward.

There was no choice but to liquidate his assets to recover.

This storage bag contained several nest stones he had earned from the Underworld Realm, all the Evil Energy Pearls, and various scattered spoils of war.

While Wang Chen could directly sell through Wanbao Pavilion or the Four Seas Trading Association, exchanging for Upper Spirits would likely result in severe price cuts.

After all, Upper Spirits were no longer just currency in the celestial realm; their actual application value was very high and in great demand.

The Xu family was currently doing well in business, and there should be plenty of channels to sell these items.

Xu Xinlan would only give Wang Chen a good price, never cheat him!

“Does my lord need Upper Spirits?”

Indeed, Xu Xinlan took the storage bag and immediately said, “I will inform the managers below right now to transfer all the Upper Spirit stock from the treasury.”

“Just one hundred Upper Spirits will be enough for now.”

Wang Chen replied, “If you can’t gather enough, that’s alright. Don’t let it affect the family business.”

Xu Xinlan playfully rolled her eyes at him: “My lord, you underestimate our family too much.”

Wailing City is one of the nine outer cities of the West Sea Sect and is also the largest immortal city with a population of millions.

The West Sea Sect has a total of ten immortal cities, and aside from the inner sect’s Wanxian City, Wailing City has the most significant reputation.

The Xu family occupies a place in Wailing City and owns several thriving shops, demonstrating their depth and heritage.

The Upper Spirits Wang Chen needed were swiftly gathered.

In the following days, Wang Chen stayed with the Xu family, entwined with Xu Xinlan as they studied the method together.

He also sold the items he had entrusted to Xu Xinlan through different channels.

In the end, everything was exchanged for spirit stones.
