My Artifacts Can Upgrade Infinitely

Inside the Cave Mansion, Zhao Zuo opened his eyes. The turbulent Qi Blood surging through his body quickly calmed, and the blinding golden light slowly dimmed before gradually disappearing. This breakthrough hadn’t significantly altered his physical appearance, but he now looked far more refined and powerful.

Zhao Zuo first had the Sky-Breaking Saber fly inside to continue grinding experience. Only then did he assume a martial stance and begin to slowly throw punches, familiarizing himself with his newly transformed body. The once-still Qi Blood began to flow, washing through his frame like a raging torrent and transforming into terrifyingly immense power.

WHOOSH.

A single straight punch sent a piercing whistle through the air.

Again and again, whenever Zhao Zuo put his full power into a punch, he could easily create a sonic boom. Each punch consumed about five percent of his Qi Blood, meaning he could throw about twenty punches at full strength.

Zhao Zuo retracted his fist and stood still, sensing the churning Qi Blood inside. He roughly estimated the power he now possessed. ’I must be at about twenty-one thousand, five hundred pounds of force.’

After standing still for a moment, Zhao Zuo took out the Fire Element Seed to feed the Fire Spirit Snake. He then began a new round of preparations. The key principles of the Fifth Layer of the Golden Body Technique surfaced in his mind, and his body began to contort into a series of peculiar postures. Building upon the foundation of the Fourth Layer, he added five new, even more inhuman poses.

His Qi Blood surged as he continuously swallowed Vajra Pills. A new round of cultivation was underway.

Meanwhile, the cyan phantom danced endlessly behind him, acquiring experience points.

Over the next few days, Zhao Zuo only went out once. He visited the Ministry of Affairs Hall to turn in his quota of Lower Grade Magical Artifacts for the eighth month, receiving two hundred and fifty contribution points and three Yellow Bud Pills in return.

For the remainder of the time, Zhao Zuo focused on grinding experience and cultivating the Fifth Layer of the Golden Body Technique. Perhaps due to the newly added poses, the quenching effect of the Fifth Layer on his body was extremely potent.

His strength increased by several dozen pounds of force each day. Of course, to replenish the consumed Qi Blood, he had to take about ten Vajra Pills daily.

After using up the Vajra Pills he had bought last time, Zhao Zuo had Liu Heng purchase another seventy for him as a reserve. Only then could he barely keep up with his cultivation. At the same time, he would contact Shen Yunjiao at night to continue fleshing out their plan, going over every detail to ensure it was foolproof.

In the blink of an eye, it was the tenth of the eighth month. He had finally gathered enough experience before he had to leave.

Zhao Zuo gazed at the Sky-Breaking Saber in his hand and reviewed the materials required to upgrade it.

Heart Spirit Blood from a Second Tier, Wind Attribute Demon Beast. Price: fluctuating around eight thousand Spirit Stones.

Bones from a Second Tier, Wind Attribute Demon Beast. Price: around three thousand Spirit Stones.

Two hundred grams of Wind Shadow Refined Gold. Price: approximately three thousand Spirit Stones.

Total: fourteen thousand Spirit Stones.

’Thankfully, upgrading the Sky-Breaking Saber only requires the Heart Spirit Blood from a Second Tier Wind Attribute Demon Beast. If it needed a Second Tier Spirit Core, I probably wouldn’t have been able to gather enough Spirit Stones... After all, a Second Tier Spirit Core is one of the main ingredients for a Foundation Establishment Pill, and its price is around thirty thousand Spirit Stones.’

Zhao Zuo did a quick mental calculation. He hadn’t earned many Spirit Stones recently. Even with the seven thousand five hundred contributed by Liu Heng, he had only managed to save about thirteen thousand. Later, he had bought Vajra Pills twice, spending about eight thousand Spirit Stones, which left him with his current total of five thousand.

He had yet to prepare most of the supplies he needed for the trip to the Yunlan Mountain Range.

If he wanted to upgrade the Sky-Breaking Saber into a Magical Treasure, he was short by nine thousand Spirit Stones.

Of course, Zhao Zuo had long anticipated that the cost to upgrade the Sky-Breaking Saber would be enormous, so he had already been thinking about how to earn a large sum of Spirit Stones. After some consideration... he decided to sell the Defiled Blood Saber.

He had his reasons. Although the Defiled Blood Saber and the Black Flame Saber had different attributes, they were both one-handed long sabers, creating some functional overlap. If he had to choose between them, Zhao Zuo would naturally keep the Black Flame Saber, to which he was more attached. Furthermore, given the unique characteristics of the Defiled Blood Saber, it could definitely sell for more than ten thousand Spirit Stones.

And just like that, his Spirit Stone problem would be solved.

Without hesitation, Zhao Zuo stood up and changed into the distinctive blue Taoist Robe of a Moyun Sect Inner Sect disciple. He simultaneously altered his features into those of an unfamiliar face, then opened the door to his Cave Mansion.

As he did so, he also added a hint of savage ferocity to his aura.

Before long, Zhao Zuo arrived at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion. The first floor was mostly for selling Lower Grade Magical Artifacts and One Tier materials, but Zhao Zuo was here for Second Tier materials. So, without lingering, he went straight up the stairs to the second floor.

Compared to the opulence of the first floor, the second was far more elegant. The architectural carvings were more lifelike, the building materials were clearly a step above, and the air was filled with the faint scent of sandalwood.

Outside the second-floor hall stood two burly men in gray robes. Their cultivation was at the Late Period of Qi Cultivation. They were responsible for guarding the second floor of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion and screening customers to determine if they were qualified to purchase resources there.

Zhao Zuo simply released a faint wisp of his Late Period Qi Cultivation aura and was allowed to enter the second-floor hall.

There were no counters on the second floor. Instead, to protect customer privacy, the space was divided into eight private rooms. The doors to three of them were shut tight, a clear sign that transactions were in progress inside.

Zhao Zuo strode toward an empty private room. The jade floor beneath his feet reflected soft rays of light, and from a corner, a square-shaped device emitted pleasant music.

The lighting inside the private room was dim. It was furnished with two red sofas, each about two meters long, with a rectangular table set between them. A woman in a golden cheongsam was seated on one of the sofas. She looked to be around thirty years old, with elegant features and a curvaceous figure, like a perfectly ripe peach.
