Chapter 2370: Green-Tailed Beast Spirit?
It turns out that when Xue Yi shouted out more than three hundred contribution points for that peak immortal technique earlier, he was simply showing off.
Because among all the peak immortal techniques, only this Lone Star Canon is the cheapest; it’s even cheaper than some peak immortal instruments.
Keep in mind, the rarity of secret manuals far exceeds magical treasures, and even a temple with deep foundations cannot escape this rule.
Ye Haochuan looked for a while but couldn’t decide which one to choose.
A thousand contribution points seems like a lot, but if you exchange them for a decent peak immortal technique, it’s just one book. If you want to exchange for a second book, the exchanger will only tell you, young one still needs to work hard...
"Huh, this is... Green-Tailed Beast Spirit?"
Ye Haochuan’s attention instantly focused on the words "Beast Spirit," his expression excited.
The Five Spirits Infinite Sword he obtained from Zhu Wengshan is currently only at the level of a Middle Level Immortal Law because of the absence of a beast spirit.
Beast spirits are a special kind of existence; they are not actual demon beasts but a unique spiritual entity accompanying demon beasts.
This spiritual entity is formless and immaterial, only acquiring shape and substance when accompanying certain demon beasts, adjusting its aura and form based on the demon beast.
Demon beasts do not reject such existences, for beast spirits are extremely perceptive, capable of monitoring threats within a thousand-mile radius and can help demon beasts locate heavenly treasures to significantly enhance their power.
Beast spirits are very rare; perhaps only one exists among tens of thousands of demon beasts.
Ye Haochuan didn’t expect to find a beast spirit here.
The Five Spirits Infinite Sword is a Quasi-God Level Technique, and its value far surpasses ordinary peak immortal techniques, so when Ye Haochuan saw the words Green-Tailed Beast Spirit, he readily ignored all other options.
"Damn, eight hundred contribution points, highway robbery!"
Seeing the contribution points required for the Green-Tailed Beast Spirit, Ye Haochuan nearly cursed out loud.
Eight hundred contribution points could easily be exchanged for a peak immortal technique and a peak immortal instrument.
However, he didn’t hesitate for long, as this beast spirit is so rare, and fortunately for the South Sect, they have the resources. If he had to search on his own, he might not find it in a hundred or eighty years.
After confirming the exchange, the thousand-plus contribution points Ye Haochuan just earned returned to their previous low.
Thinking about the need to gather a million contribution points, Ye Haochuan’s heart was utterly chilled.
The elder in charge of the exchange took out a Message Jade Slip, silently mouthed a few words, and soon, someone delivered the item, handing it to Ye Haochuan.
It was a sky-blue pearl, and with a slight sensing, Ye Haochuan discovered within it a strange-looking small beast phantom, completely out of proportion between its tail and body.
Those around him were curious about what Ye Haochuan had exchanged for, and many asked.
Ye Haochuan, unlike Xue Yi who liked to show off, was not about to reveal his trump card to others. He merely smiled silently and quickly left.
Back in his cave, Ye Haochuan eagerly took out the beast spirit, ready to integrate it into the Five Spirits Infinite Sword.
The integration process was simple: just covertly operate the Five Spirits Infinite Sword and split open the pearl, allowing the unique absorption power of the technique to incorporate the beast spirit.
The Five Spirits Infinite Sword itself did not possess excessively flashy effects; it merely enveloped the surface of the sword in a layer of vibrant yellow mist, pushing the sword’s speed to the extreme.
Even after integrating the beast spirit, this did not change significantly, only adding a layer of azure spirit charm on the yellow mist surface.
"Damn, is this technique a scam? The effects don’t seem all that impressive!"
Gazing at the Divine Concealment Sword enhanced by the Five Spirits Infinite Sword technique, Ye Haochuan suddenly felt a twinge of concern.
That was eight hundred contribution points! He had given up a peak immortal technique and a peak magical treasure, decisively exchanging for a beast spirit to enhance this technique. If its power was as lackluster as it appeared, he could really cry.
Whoosh~
His situation did not affect the technique’s activation; he saw the Divine Concealment Sword shoot out suddenly, reaching speed at its peak and piercing into the cave wall.
Kling-klang-kling~
The chilling metallic clang sounded, as the Divine Concealment Sword effortlessly pierced through the cave wall.
The cave wall at this moment didn’t bear a single sword cut nor a colossal hole but a tapestry of countless interwoven sword marks.
In an instant, the Divine Concealment Sword seemed to have wielded thousands upon hundreds of swords, forcibly shredding the wall.
Or perhaps, the Divine Concealment Sword itself contained countless sword intents from the start, incomprehensible and unavoidable.
Rumble~
The areas cut by the sword marks couldn’t withstand the weight and fell, sending up clouds of dust.
Yet Ye Haochuan was oblivious, merely murmuring, "Infinite Sword, no limits, traces unfound..."
During his exclamation, he suddenly noticed a message from the Message Jade Slip.
"Ye Haochuan, you rascal, where the hell are you? The essence charm you left only suffices for the spirit meals from the past two days. If you don’t return soon, I see no need for you to continue as the Deputy Steward of the Spirit Meal Room!"
"Damn, I almost forgot!"
Ye Haochuan slapped his forehead, quickly awakening from his joy of enhancing the technique, and rushed towards where Yin Xirou was located.
There was no alternative, at least for now, he couldn’t disregard the matters of the Spirit Meal Room or who knows if Hall Master Li might revoke his status as an official disciple?
Just outside Yin Xirou’s house, Ye Haochuan caught a strong whiff of burnt medicinal herbs.
"Good grief, this woman is wasting too much. Just starting to refine second-grade mysterious pills, and already ruining third-grade herbs?"
Recognizing the herbal aroma, Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but shout.
Third-grade herbs are indeed valuable assets, and to squander them like this made him feel heartbroken.
Though it was just a casual complaint, no sooner had he spoken than Yin Xirou’s door swiftly opened.
"You ungrateful bum, if I weren’t trying to help refine the essence charm for you, would I be wasting these herbs?"
Yin Xirou said with a pout, looking charming yet irritated.
She knew all too well that third-grade herbs were priceless; she merely wanted to try refining more essence charm as the spirit charm had run out and Ye Haochuan hadn’t returned in time.
Of course, she also felt slightly competitive. Ye Haochuan seemed even younger than her, yet he managed to refine third-grade herbal essence charm, making her feel she couldn’t be much worse.
Evidently, reality gave a harsh blow to her pretty face. Despite obtaining Ye Haochuan’s alchemy method, after several attempts, she merely squandered materials with botched results.
"So, all this was for me then?"
Ye Haochuan suddenly broke into a mischievous smile, then sighed and said, "My fault, my fault, why didn’t I see your affection earlier? Fortunately, it’s not too late now; so how about I express my gratitude tonight?"
